Zhao Han reported to his family: "Zhao Yan, a talented scholar of Jishui, is called Zizi."

Huang Zundao felt even more inferior. Although he was over 60 years old, he was still just a child.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi had the most Jinshi.

In the whole of Jiangxi, Ji'an has the most Jinshi.

Huang Zundao was born in a remote rural area of ​​Ji'an Prefecture, with poor educational resources and great pressure on the imperial examination.He bought all his childhood, and it was too expensive to continue to buy talents.

Jishui also belongs to Ji'an Prefecture. Zhao Han calls himself Jishui Xiucai, whose gold content far exceeds that of Juren in Yunnan and Guizhou.

"It turned out to be the senior in front of him, disrespectful, disrespectful." Huang Zandao hurriedly bowed.

This is a contest of fame and fortune.

When a young boy faced a scholar, a rich man faced a rich businessman, Huang Zundao really couldn't get up.

Of course, if it involves self-interest, it will be another matter.

The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake!

"Since Huang Xiaoyou is also a scholar, let's talk about it," Zhao Han put on airs, "I want to build a warehouse in Huangjia Town, the rocky desert beach by the river, are you willing to sell it to me?"

Huang Zundao said in surprise: "Senior, are you going to build a warehouse here?"

Zhao Han suddenly sighed: "My Zhao family is a big family in Jishui, and used to do business in Fujian and Guangdong. Have you ever seen the sea?"

"I'm going to have a look." Huang Zandao said.

Zhao Han boasted: "My family's goods are all going to sea. When they are sold to Fujian merchants, they are shipped to Taiwan, Luzon, Ryukyu, and Japan. When they are sold to Guangdong merchants, they are shipped to Western Thailand. There's François, there's France, there's England. Have you ever heard of these foreign countries?"

Huang Zundao felt even more inferior, and said with an apologetic smile, "I heard a little."

"Hate those rioters!" Zhao Han slammed the table and slapped the lid of the tea bowl to the side.

Huang Zundao only knew about the nearby towns and towns, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are the rioters?"

Zhao Han said: "There are riotous people in southern Gansu and western Fujian. If you retreat, you will gather in the mountains and forests. If you enter, you will attack the prefectures and counties, blocking the business routes of my Zhao family. Those who come in will be forced to take out the merchants from the past. Thirty percent of the goods!"

Huang Zundao nodded and said, "These chaotic people really deserve to die."

"General Nan Gan is also an idiot. He has been suppressing bandits for several years, but he was suppressed by the rioters and dared not leave the city. The court should arrest him and put him in jail!" Zhao Han yelled.

The first Nanjiang general was Yu Dayou, but as long as the bandit chaos was not rampant, there was usually only one Nanjiang general, and the Jiangxi general served concurrently.

The same is true for the governor of Nangan, who is generally held concurrently by the governor of Jiangxi.

Now that Southern Jiangxi General has jurisdiction over the western Fujian and southern Jiangxi, all the peasant troops can be seen...

Huang Zundao said in surprise, "Don't you dare to leave the city for the generals of Nangan?"

"Isn't it?" Zhao Han sneered.

Huang Zundao quickly asked, "Didn't the imperial court send troops to suppress it?"

Zhao Han sighed and said, "Where can there still be soldiers in the imperial court? In recent years, the people of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Huguang have been in turmoil. Beizhi, Shandong, and Henan are also in chaos. It was also occupied by the Tartars, where do you think the imperial court sent troops?"

"This, this...how could this be?" Huang Zundao was shocked.He only cares about one-third of his own land, and he has no knowledge of the outside world, nor will he inquire about past merchants.

Zhao Han added: "The business in the south cannot be done. My Zhao family plans to go to Heshui to transport goods from Ganzhong to Huguang. I was sent by my family to explore the way. I think the location of Huangjia Town is good, and I want to be here. Build a transit warehouse."

"That's it."

(In the last chapter, the conversion of silver taels was wrong. It has been changed to: more than 3000 taels were grabbed, and 1500 taels were divided on one side.)

Once his own interests were involved, Huang Zandao became reserved, took up the air and began to take matters into his own hands. Industry. It may not be easy to convince all the sects, and this old man has to consider it carefully.”

Zhao Han also changed his name and said with a smile, "Since Huang Yuanwai can't be in charge, then I'll build a warehouse in another place. Farewell!"

"Brother, don't be in a hurry," Huang Zandao quickly discouraged, "Everything is easy to discuss."

Zhao Han said confidently: "Although Huangjia Town is located on a commercial thoroughfare, there are many towns along the Heshui River! I built a warehouse in Huangjia Town, which is a great thing for Huang Yuanwai. The warehouse one The more merchants stop here, the better the town's business will be. Wouldn't Huang Yuanwai's local products be more profitable? Maybe, in ten or twenty years, Huangjia Town will become a big town! "

This flatbread was well drawn, and Huang Zundao really believed it.

Zhao Han added, "I want to build a warehouse, hire workers, and buy stone, wood, and mortar. It's not Huang Yuanwai who decides which worker to hire? Stone, wood, and mortar, aren't they bought from Huang Yuanwai?"

Yup!

Huang Zundao secretly rejoiced, and he could take the opportunity to make a fortune again.

Zhao Han held the folding fan and said with a smile, "The wasteland in the river beach cannot grow food. If Huang Yuanwai can send me a free gift, then continue to talk about business. If not, then I will go to the town next door. I will only give you three days. Considering the time, as soon as the three days pass, I will leave immediately!"

Huang Zundao said, "Don't think about it. As long as it's a wasteland that can't be farmed, you can take as much as you want. But I'll be responsible for the workers and materials for building the warehouse. How?"

"Haha, the deal!" Zhao Han laughed.

Isn't this hooked?

Chapter 087 [Send a Maid]

Two more days.

Jianu bowed and trotted, came to Huang Zundao, and said in a low voice, "Master, the news has arrived."

Huang Zundao was lying on the bamboo rocking chair, a maid behind him gently rocked the chair, and a maid beside him beat his legs.This guy didn't open his eyes, he just said in a deep voice, "Tell me."

The servant bent down and leaned closer: "There are four people in that group. They came by boat a few days ago. When they got off the boat, they checked into the inn and brought a few boxes. Those boxes were quite heavy, and they were carried back and forth several times."

"What are they doing these two days?" Huang Zundao asked.

The house slave replied, "Walking around, talking to people, maybe choosing a place for the warehouse."

"Then it's no problem." Huang Zandao sat up suddenly.

The slave asked: "Master, these people are not liars, right?"

"What can I deceive?" Huang Zundao said confidently, "The deserted beach by the river is useless. Even if it is given to them, it can still scrape away the land of the river beach? Let him bring the money. Halfway through the construction, the price can still be raised on the ground. How many outsiders dare to turn against me? If his business is successful, Huangjia Town will become a big town in the future. His business will not be successful. , the warehouse can't be taken away, didn't I pick up a warehouse for nothing?"

The servant was convinced and flattered: "Master is really clever, we all make money!"

Huang Zandao sneered and said: "A yellow-mouthed child, relying on the power of the family, dares to pose in front of the old man. The old man eats more salt than he eats rice. Don't worry, let him choose the river beach slowly, you send someone over there. Help me choose. As long as I take out the money to level the beach, even if they are trapped, I have to take care of everything in the future."

"Master is really a good way." The slaves sincerely praised.

Huang Zundao warned: "Before they give out the money, you have to have people wait for them. Whether it's coaxing or cheating, don't let them leave Huangjia Town."

"I'll do it now." The servant bowed and stepped back.

"Wait a minute. That Jishui Xiucai looks handsome and dresses very well, and seems to be a romantic one," Huang Zandao patted the little hand of the leg-beating maid and said, "Xiaocui, go to the inn for a few days, and coax the scholar. I'm happy, the sooner you let him pay for it, the better."

The leg-beating maid hurriedly knelt down: "Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life!"

Huang Zandao said angrily: "What are you afraid of? Get up quickly. This is an errand for you, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job. First, you have to make the talent happy and don't let him leave Huangjiazhen; second, look for opportunities. To coax him to pay for money, he said that workers are hard to find, and the sooner the beach is leveled, the better; third, pay more attention, listen to them more, and tell the innkeeper if you get any news.”

The maid Xiao Cui was still pale, she was going to warm the bed for outsiders.

All meritorious deeds are bullshit.

Mr. Huang doesn't like people who are not clean. When she comes back from her work, don't think about being a maid in the inner court.

"What are you still doing? Go!" Huang Zandao roared.

Xiao Cui was trembling with fright, and she hurriedly ordered to leave, and was escorted to the inn by the servant.

After waiting until noon, Zhao Han finally returned from his inspection of the river beach.

The slave immediately stepped forward: "Zhao Xianggong is delicate and has no one to serve when he goes out. My master specially sent a tea and water."

Zhao Han used a folding fan to lift the maid's chin, and said in a frivolous tone, "Yes, Xiaojiabiyu, I feel pity. I can't find a better one in such a remote village and town. My son reluctantly accepted this maid. "

"If Zhao Xianggong likes it," the servant nodded and said, "A country maid, being favored by Zhao Xianggong is also a blessing she has cultivated in her lifetime."

After speaking, his face changed, and he scolded: "Xiao Cui, don't kneel down and thank you!"

Xiao Cui wanted to cry but had no tears, she knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness and kindness."

Zhao Han's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said disdainfully, "Get up. If you are in Jishui's side, this young master really doesn't like it."

Xiaocui stood up slowly, lowered her head and did not speak, and did not dare anyone to see her tears.

Zhao Han added, "How much is this maid worth taels of silver? Get your master to bring her body deed."

The slave was stunned for a while, and explained: "Zhao Xianggong, this is my master, who was specially sent to pour tea and water for Xianggong..."

"I won't sell it? I won't give it away? I'm stingy, but I'm really a rich man!" Zhao Han said angrily, "Hurry up and bring people back, this son is not used to things from other families."

The family slave didn't know how to respond, so he could only say: "Zhao Xianggong calm down, I'll go home and ask the master."

The family slave ran wild for a while and quickly returned to the Huang family's ancestral house.

Huang Zunde was also a little dumbfounded. He had never seen such a domineering person before. He thought about it: "Go back and tell the scholar, and said that the maid will give it to him. When the warehouse is repaired, you can send the body deed over there."

"It's still a wise man." The slave began to run errands again.

When we got to the inn, we talked about it.

Zhao Han sneered: "Country people are stingy, they're just maids. If they say they'll send them off, they'll have to wait until they're done? Give him some money and get out of here!"

Chen Maosheng took out a string of copper coins and stuffed it into the slave's hands.

When the slave received a few hundred wen as a reward, he was overjoyed and began to feel that Mr. Huang was stingy.

Zhao Xianggong is very generous, and he deserves to be a rich man from the city.Zhao Xianggong has never seen any beauties before, and he still covets a little country maid?His master was really embarrassed, and even his slave felt ashamed.

The slave quickly compensated for Mr. Huang: "Zhao Xianggong, you have a lot of adults, don't have the same knowledge as our countrymen."

"It's easy to say, I like to hear this, and I will reward him with some money." Zhao Han smiled.

Chen Maosheng stuffed another string of copper coins into it.

The slave immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhao Xianggong really does a big job, the slave maid kowtowed to you, I wish you a prosperous business and a great fortune this year."

Do you like to hear good words?

Then I will say more.

Reward me, reward me!

"Go away!" Zhao Han didn't reward him any more, just smiled and chased away.

The family slave kowtowed again: "If Zhao Xianggong has any orders, just say hello in the future."

This guy wants to keep asking for money.

Compared with Zhao Han, Master Huang was extremely stingy.

Zhao Han took the maid back to the guest room and smiled, "Sit by yourself."

"Slaves don't dare." Xiao Cui looked terrified.

Zhao Han smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid. What I said before is for others to see. I cherish women the most. There are many maids in my family, and I have never treated any of them badly."

For the sake of Zhao Han's handsome appearance, Xiao Cui was skeptical.

Zhao Han asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Cui replied, "Xiao Cui."

"I asked for your real name." Zhao Han said.

Xiaocui said, "Sanmei Huang."

Zhao Han continued to inquire: "Your surname is Huang, and you are of the same clan as Mr. Huang?"

Xiao Cui replied, "The slaves don't know either. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Huang."

"How old are you?" Zhao Han asked.

"Seventeen." Xiaocui said.

"Then you are older than me," Zhao Han saw that she was still cautious, so he pulled her to sit down and comforted her softly, "Sister don't be afraid, sit down and talk first."

Hearing that Zhao Han called her sister, Xiao Cui felt very useful at the same time she was afraid.

Looking horizontally and vertically, Zhao Han doesn't seem to be a fake, and he is such a handsome scholar.

Suddenly, Xiao Cuifang's heart was beating wildly, imagining that after the event was completed, Master Huang sent the body deed, and she could go to the city with this Xiao Xianggong.

Zhao Han continued to talk about family life, which is the easiest way to get closer: "How many people are there in my sister's family?"

Xiaocui answered honestly: "The eldest sister is married, the second sister died of illness, and there are two younger brothers. Both parents are farming for Mr. Huang, and they couldn't pay the rent a few years ago, so the slaves were paid off. Maid, the eldest brother also repaid the debt and became a servant."

"It's so pitiful, don't be sad, sister, the days to come will be better." Zhao Han said softly.

Hearing these ordinary words, Xiao Cui suddenly wanted to cry for no reason.
