poor family prodigal

Chapter 37 The soap can’t be sold anymore

boom!

These four simple sentences, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, shocked the hearts of the three of them.

It fulfills the mission of scholars all over the world and allows anyone with lofty ideals to find their destination!

With these four games, it can be famous all over the world, spread through the ages, and leave a name in history!

Liu Jianye was jealous: "How could he have composed such an eternal quatrain!"

Li Sansi looked complicated.

Although these four sentences can make him famous all over the world, he still can't get on the stage without the imperial examination, and he can't be the son-in-law of the Li family.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"

Mr. Bailey murmured with tears streaming down his face, got up and chased out: "Sir, wait for me!"

The two followed behind.

Wait for the three of them to come out!

Wang Yuan and the carriage have disappeared!

Mr. Baili was surprised: "Brother Wuyou, why is this gentleman in your house? What is your relationship? Do you know where he lives? I want to pay him a visit!"

Liu Jianye gritted his teeth: My little friend has become a gentleman, and this has lifted the prodigal son too high.

Li Sansi sighed: "He, the relationship between him and me is quite complicated, so I won't mention it. If you want to visit him, just go to Beiping Township, Dawangzhuang, and find Wang Yuan!"

These four sentences alone are not enough for the Li family to recognize this son-in-law.

If you want to be the son-in-law of the Li family, you will at least gain fame, otherwise you will lose your father's face.

How can a scholar's family want a son-in-law born from a child?

"Beiping Township, Dawangzhuang!"

Mr. Baili's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had heard of these places before.

Da da da!

Suddenly, a police officer came on horseback and clasped his fist towards Mr. Baili: "Sir, the unruly King Ergou is beating the drum and suing the county government for violating the law for personal gain!"

"Oh!"

Mr. Baili narrowed his eyes, clasped his fists and turned around: "Brother Wuyou, brother Jianye, see you another day!"

The two of them hugged each other and said goodbye!

When Mr. Baili left, Liu Jianye clucked his tongue: "I didn't expect that he was the new county magistrate Zhao Weimin!"

Li Sansi chuckled: "The county magistrate Bailihou, his alias is Mr. Baili, you should have thought of it."

Liu Jianye was secretly disdainful: "The prodigal son didn't expect that either!"

Li Sansi watched the carriage leave: "It's a pity that he was a first- and second-ranked Jinshi and admonished the Black Armored Army. After being demoted again and again in the past five years, he was reduced to a seventh-grade county magistrate. Fortunately, he has not changed his ambition and still wants to make a living for the people." "

Holding his fist towards Li Sansi, Liu Jianye said goodbye, feeling very disdainful!

They are a bunch of mud-legged people who were born to be poor. It is useless for anyone to set their destiny for them!

Li Sansi returned to his mansion.

The young woman held a bag of sugar and a piece of soap and said happily: "Husband, come and take a look at these two things. These are like the crystal candies that are sold like crazy in Zhoucheng. This soap is more fragrant and cleaner than soap. My sister said they are all Wang Yuan's. What he does is not simple!”

Li Sansi was disdainful: "These are not elegant. Even if he makes them, how can he sell them for a few bucks? Is it comparable to the three generations of the Liu family selling salt?"

The young woman opened her mouth but said nothing.

She received a letter from her best friend in Zhoucheng, telling her how crystal candy has been selling like crazy lately.

If this candy was really made by Wang Yuan, it would not be inferior to the salt sold by the Liu family in a county!

But she also knew that her husband looked down on merchants, so she said no more!

Li Sansi said in a deep voice: "Please advise my little sister more in private. My father and I are doing this for her own good. If she is really determined, tell her that unless that boy passes the examination, the Li family will not recognize him. The Li family A scholarly family will not let a child give birth to a son-in-law to discredit the Li family."

……

Pointing to the position of Wang Yuan's carriage, Liu Jianye's eyes were sinister: "Do you know what that kid did?"

My father has laid out a big net against this prodigal son, which can send him to jail!

Both carriages stopped in front of the door, and the driver of the Liu family quickly said: "Back to the young master, he seems to be going to the grocery store in the West Market to sell something called soap!"

Liu Jianye narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "So what if a man with clay legs can compose eternal quatrains? You don't want to engage in despicable business for money. Go tell the shops on that street that anyone who dares to buy his soap will be doing business with the Liu family." right!"

"Yes, Master!"

The driver turned around and trotted away!

Liu Jianye had a vicious look on his face: "Prodigal son, I'm going to make you run into obstacles at every turn and end up in jail. Finally, kneel down and beg me to let Shihan be my woman!"

There was a strict hierarchy among farmers, industry and merchants in the Dayes. Although the merchants had money, they had no status.

This was also the reason why he was so focused on the imperial examination that he even married his second wife and wanted to cling to the Li family.

Having money is worse than having power!

……

Dahu drove to the West Market, his eyebrows furrowed and he was a little worried.

He, Erhu and Sihai went to the county government office and met Mr. Baili. They felt a bit similar to that gentleman, but they didn't feel like him.

When a county magistrate is an official, he should wear silk and satin, and the cloth clothes worn by Mr. Baili.

In the carriage, Wang Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, half-smiling but not smiling: "Mr. Baili, that's interesting!"

The carriage arrived at the West Market and found a large grocery store. Wang Yuan walked in with soap.

"What does this young master do for you?"

Seeing Wang Yuan's extraordinary clothes and demeanor, the shopkeeper came out and clasped his fists to apologize!

"Bring a basin of water, I'll give the shopkeeper a chance to make a lot of money!"

Wang Yuan put his hands behind his back and spoke arrogantly.

Business has benefits and momentum, otherwise initiative will become passive!

The shopkeeper was doubtful, but seeing Wang Yuan's gorgeous clothes, he asked the waiter to fetch water.

Wang Yuan took out the soap and taught the waiter to wash his hands, and his dirty hands were immediately washed clean!

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He took the soap and gave it a try. He smelled it and clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Xu. I don't know your surname!"

Wang Yuan waved his hand carelessly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu, let's talk business first!"

Shopkeeper Xu looked at the soap and said with a smile: "Master Wang, please don't tell secrets. This soap is more fragrant and cleaner than putty or bath beans. Ladies from high-ranking families will definitely like it. I wonder what you think." How much does it cost per piece?”

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I brought a thousand pieces of soap, and I don't plan to sell them. If shopkeeper Xu wants them all, I'll give them all to you for one dollar! I won't sell another piece of soap in Fu County within three months. You Exclusively available”

"Exclusively sold, always costs one yuan, that's fine!"

Shopkeeper Xu thought for a while and immediately agreed: "But please wait a moment, Master Wang. One thousand guan is not a small amount, and the shop will take an hour to raise it."

Wang Yuan chuckled and nodded: "Okay!"

This shopkeeper may have the brains and courage to bet a thousand dollars on a new gadget like soap!

In this era, courage is rare!

However, things are rare and expensive. Although soap is expensive, you can sell it to the right customers.

Not long after Shopkeeper Xu went out, he turned back and his face turned ugly: "Master Wang, I can't buy soap from your soap shop, please forgive me!"

"Shopkeeper Xu, there's no need to be embarrassed. You and I are willing to buy and sell, and we haven't made a contract!"

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "However, we hit it off right away, and I want to know the reason."

Shopkeeper Xu whispered: "Master Wang, the things are very good, I want them very much, and I can raise enough money, but this shop is rented from the Liu family's shop!"

"Understood!"

Wang Yuan's anger rose and he suppressed his anger: "Shopkeeper Xu, are all the grocery stores on this street owned by the Liu family?"

Liu Jianye, this poisonous snake came to deal with him again and again.

If all the shops on this street were owned by the Liu family, there would be no way to sell soap.

"Not at all!"

Shopkeeper Xu whispered: "In addition to the Liu family, there are shops from the Zhou family and the Hu family on the whole street, but the three families will give each other face. Master Wang, if you want to sell the soap, you'd better find someone from the Liu family to resolve the conflict. !”

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Xu, for your advice!"

Wang Yuan took out two pieces of soap and put them on the table: "I also want to know which shops belong to the Liu family, which shops belong to the Zhou family and the Hu family!"

Shopkeeper Xu put away the soap and started talking in a low voice.

Wang Yuan made a note to leave.

Dahu, the driver at the door, came up and said: "Brother Yuan, has the business been concluded? Just now when shopkeeper Xu went out, the Liu family's coachman found him and told him not to do business with us, otherwise he would take over his shop!"

"I understand, let's go to the next one!"

The two of them avoided the Liu family's store and rushed to the Zhou family's and Hu's family's stores for groceries.

Walking into the grocery store of Zhou's store, Wang Yuan took out the soap and said: "The shopkeeper..."

Before Wang Yuan could finish speaking, the shopkeeper clasped his fists and said, "Young master, please don't embarrass me. The Liu family just let it slip. Anyone who buys your things is going against the Liu family!"

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Isn't your shop owned by the Zhou family?"

The shopkeeper clasped his fists and smiled in apology: "It's true that the shop belongs to the Zhou family, but the Liu family is a powerful force in the county. How can we, a small family, afford it? Master, please do your best!"

"excuse me!"

Wang Yuan stopped entangled and turned around to leave!

I went to four grocery stores in a row, all of them Zhou's and Hu's stores.

Without exception, all of them were afraid of offending the Liu family and did not dare to buy his soap.

Dahu, who had always been calm, turned red with anger.

Wang Yuan spent about [-] yuan to make these soaps. If he couldn't sell them and lost them, it would definitely be a big loss.

Damn Liu Jianye, he keeps causing trouble for Brother Yuan again and again!

I really want to kill him!

"Dahu, calm down and go to the next one. Money is so exciting. There will always be someone who can withstand the pressure from the Liu family and buy our soap!"

Wang Yuan comforted Dahu and himself, and walked into another shop.

Before Wang Yuan could speak, the shopkeeper directly cupped his fists and said, "Young Master, we can't afford to offend the Liu family. We really can't buy your things. You should find another buyer!"

"excuse me!"

Wang Yuan was ready to leave.

A surprising voice sounded from behind: "Brother Wang, don't leave!"
