Crossing the God of Warring States System

Chapter 8 Prosperity in Linzi
As the capital of Qi State at that time, Linzi had developed industry and commerce, and there was a large flow of people, and all kinds of people gathered here.

In addition, Qi State's national policy is to allow scholars to receive official salaries instead of official positions, freely discuss state affairs, and write books.

In Jixia Academy, there are apprentices and lecturers every day, where they study or discuss politics.

The six of them walked into Linzi City. The eldest brother Zhang Yi took a few people to find an inn to settle down, and then they went to play and get familiar with each other.

And Zhou Zihao and Wang Yanran were like curious babies who had never seen the world, they sat and looked right and touched, which gave Su Qin and the others a headache.

Zhang Yi asked Pang Juan and Su Qin to watch them, and each of them pulled each other to prevent them from getting lost. The population here is too dense.

There are often jugglers of all kinds performing arts on the street, and there are also hawkers walking on the street.

When they walked to the station, even with Pang Juan and the others watching, Wang Yanran and Wang Yanran bought a lot of things, such as candies, snacks, pastries, etc., everything that one expects to find.

Wang Yanran almost spent all the money she had with her.

It seems that women in every age have a kind of frenzy for shopping, and if it is not restrained, it will be a disaster.

Zhou Zihao didn't care, anyway, if he didn't have any money, he could find a way to earn it.

If there are candied haws for sale at this time, Wang Yanran must have a bunch of them in his hand, and his foodie image is almost the same as mine.

The prosperity of Linzi is inseparable from Guan Zhong's reforms at the beginning. The east of Qi is the coast, and the geographical location is superior. In addition, the development of industry and commerce is encouraged, and trade exchanges between countries continue.

The name of the station is Leju Station. As soon as we arrived at the door, a guy came up to greet us.

The waiter at the post station walked up to us with a smile, and said enthusiastically, "Do you want to stay at the hotel or eat?"

Zhang Yi said to Xiao Er: "Give us six upper rooms."

When Xiao Er heard that Zhang Yi said that he would open six rooms, he was immediately overjoyed. He got six guests at once.

"Several guest officers, please follow me."

Xiao Er led the six people inside, and when they got to the counter, he said, "You should register with the shopkeeper first, and then pay the deposit, and I will lead you up."

Zhou Zihao took a look around at the environment of the inn. It was not bad. He ate on the first floor and stayed on the second floor. Then he looked at the shopkeeper.

About [-] years old, looks more shrewd, one can tell at a glance that he is more calculating, when he saw us, he shook the mole under the corner of his mouth and said: "How many guests are staying in the hotel? Six people? "

Zhang Yi nodded.

The shopkeeper looked at a few of us, he didn't look like a bad person, and then said, "Two dollars per person per night, how long do you want to stay?"

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "Two nights."

Where is the shopkeeper, I calculated with my fingers for a while, I wanted to say it, but I was not sure, I felt that the calculation was wrong.

"A total of 24 knives. Each person is two knives, six is ​​12 24, and then twelve times two is [-] knives."

Zhou Zihao really couldn't stand it anymore, how could it take so long.I didn't see what tools he used. Hasn't he invented the whole thing yet?There is no reason, China is the hometown of abacus, and it should have existed very early.

And the shopkeeper actually used some stones and fingers to count where, it was really depressing.

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly brightened. This multiplication formula seems to be very useful. After learning it, he can quickly calculate it.

And the others were also slightly stunned, they didn't expect that their little junior brother was actually a master of numerology, they really didn't realize it before, of course it was because Zhou Zihao always appeared in front of them as a fool.

None of the five of them knew Zhou Zihao's identity. The only thing they knew about him was when he was suddenly taken back to the mountains by his teacher four years ago.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Zihao, as if he had discovered a treasure, and said enthusiastically to Zhou Zihao: "This gentleman is good at spelling. Even the master of spelling at Jixia Academy is probably not as good as you. Since you are scholars , then the fee will be reduced by half, and you will get a [-]% discount, what do you think."

'Sir' is regarded as an intellectual here, and Qi State attaches great importance to intellectuals, like a lecturer in a school palace, as long as he stays in Qi State, he can be allocated a house and a salary.

Zhou Zihao knew that there was no free lunch in the world, but there was nothing wrong with passing on the multiplication formula to others, so he readily accepted the shopkeeper's discount and said, "Shopkeeper, you shouldn't just give us a discount, right? Tell me, do you have any requests? Ask for it." That's right."

The shopkeeper's face was a bit unnatural, I didn't expect my little thoughts to be seen by this kid, but business people need to be thick-skinned, and besides, this guy is quite upright, I haven't said anything yet, He just said it, yes yes yes.

"I hope to learn from you the method of spelling just now. Of course, if you also have a request, you can ask for it."

The shopkeeper directly stated his request.

This is what Zhou Zihao wanted, and he was worried that he had no place to use his knowledge, so he said to the shopkeeper, "I can teach you, but you have to promise me one thing."

The shopkeeper asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Make a deal with me."

"Aus?" The shopkeeper suddenly became interested, a brat who wanted to do business with him, "What do you want to do with me?"

"I'm going to invent a magic tool. When the time comes, you just need to help me make appointments with some bosses, and then help me sell it."

Zhou Zihao's idea is very simple, since your level of arithmetic is not so high, and you haven't even invented the abacus, then this invention belongs to me, and now you need money for everything.

The shopkeeper frowned, magic tools?He had never heard of it before, but anyway, he didn't have to pay anything himself, and he could learn the art of magic from it. Out of curiosity, he still wanted to know what this magic tool was.

The shopkeeper asked: "Then can you explain this thing?"

Zhou Zihao made a fool of himself and said, "When the time comes, it will be made, and the first one will be used by you. You will naturally know what it is."

Seeing that he didn't want to say any more, the shopkeeper asked Zhou Zihao about the time to learn spells.

Zhou Zihao fixed the night.

The other six people were stunned by Zhou Zihao's sudden display of ability. It seems that the previous stupid junior brother no longer exists, and now there is only one extremely smart sixth brother.

Although they wanted to ask Zhou Zihao a lot of questions now, they were exhausted after a day of traveling, especially Wang Yanran.

As a girl, she was trained by a teacher in the mountains before, but she has never been as tired as today. Maybe it is because the teacher's arrangement made her anxious.

Zhang Yi paid the deposit.

Xiao Er led the six of them back to their respective rooms.

Zhou Zihao's room was quite spacious, and the bed was quite comfortable. He almost fell asleep lying on the bed, until Xiaoer asked him to have dinner.

The six people have their own ideas, anyway, the mountain can't go back, since the teacher asked everyone to go down the mountain to practice, then they should study hard in the university of society.
