Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

For the refusal of Mi shopkeeper.Wang Xiujin was slightly disappointed, but it was understandable. After all, the ancients were very concerned about reputation, and the information in ancient times was backward. If something went wrong, it would not be the reputation of others, but the reputation of the master.What Wang Xiujin proposed to Shopkeeper Mi was to join in, so that lo-mei shops can be opened all over the country, and it can save a lot of trouble, but at the same time, various problems will arise.Wang Xiujin felt that he was not thinking carefully, and it was normal for Shopkeeper Mi to refuse.

Shopkeeper Mi rejected Wang Xiujin not because of a bad proposal, but because he had no intention of expanding the property. Now, unlike when he helped the emperor guard the grocery store, he has already become a family. Even though the Li family does not restrict him to walk freely, many things in the mansion are also different. He needed to take care of it, and slowly put the focus on the mansion.Shopkeeper Mi didn't feel wronged. When two people live together, there must always be one who is the housekeeper and one who is in charge of the outside. If both of them are outside, the home will not be like home.It's not that shopkeeper Mi has no ambitions, it's just that he knows what is more important.

After moving back from the General’s Mansion, Wang Xiujin started to get busy. First he went to the Spring and Song Dynasties, and then to the oil mill and the grain store. After everything was sorted out, he took the emperor’s letter to the Ministry of Punishment. They are all serious offenders, and there are many people waiting for distribution.The officials of the Ministry of Punishment had received the oral order from above, but they never saw the person holding the written order. At first they felt strange, and then they forgot about it because the person did not come.The hospitality was very warm, and he asked what kind of people Wang Xiujin wanted, so he asked people to gather these people together for Wang Xiujin to choose.

The people in the cell didn't know what was going on. Many of these people were from everyone. Some were confused about the future, some hated the king, and some were depressed. When the jailer told them to go out, all the people who were named were dissatisfied , but also followed honestly, some people still read poems in their mouths, quite a bit of "angry youth" posture.After being reprimanded by the jailer, he laughed wantonly.

Wang Xiujin didn't wait long when he saw a lot of people coming from the jailer like herding sheep, and he frowned slightly, not because of the actions of the jailer, but because of the smell on these people, eating, drinking, and scatter in the cage, probably there are some They haven't cleaned up for a few days, and even though these people have arrogance, they have been honed a lot.While Wang Xiujin was looking at these people, the people who were driven out were also observing. Their crimes had already been convicted and they were just waiting for distribution, but there was no movement at all, which made them feel strange. If they arrived at the distribution place later, they would It's already winter, and those who are weak may not be able to survive the winter.

Looking at the full labels, Wang Xiujin chose the candidates he wanted without asking any questions, and pointed them out one by one.Following Wang Xiujin's selection of candidates, the accompanying people immediately looked through their crimes and wrote them down.The people in the Ministry of Punishment were very curious about the way Wang Xiujin selected people. These people had nothing to do with each other, and they were not the eldest son of the family. They didn't know their character, but their reputation was not good. genuine talent.Just by looking at people, the attitude of the people in the Ministry of Punishment towards Wang Xiujin became more respectful.

Wang Xiujin counted out more than [-] people, felt that it was still a little small, but knew that he couldn't count more, so he stopped, thinking that the capital city is really not easy to mix, if it is not done well, they will be from the nine clans, they will be distributed or sent home.Those who were not counted were brought down by the jailer, and those who were counted carefully looked at each other, but they couldn't guess what was going to happen.After the candidate is selected, people from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs need to come forward to explain the matter. Wang Xiujin sat on one side and chatted with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. The Shangshu is related to the royal family. He has been curious about Wang Xiujin for a long time. Time and time again, it's not the same thing again and again, every time it's full of meaning, but it's full of belly.

After chatting with Shangshu for a while, Wang Xiujin found that this person is a foodie, he can be a gourmet, and he has a very sharp tongue, so he can taste what is put in the dishes, but there are some dishes that Shangshu did not taste, such as braised meat.Sister Liu's lo mei has some traditional Chinese medicine in it, even if I drink it all the year round, I'm afraid I won't be able to taste it.Shangshu wanted to ask Wang Xiujin for the ingredients for braised meat, but he was afraid that it would be suspected of stealing the recipe.

Naturally, Wang Xiujin would not say that lo mei is not only operated in small restaurants, but also the lo mei shop of the shopkeeper of rice. If he said it, he would go there. Perhaps Shang Shu had no other ideas, but it would inevitably make people who listened to him come up with some ideas. Things that are not worth the candle should be cut off from the source.

The people standing above the lobby were a little dazed. They were sold by the people of the Ministry of Punishment, and sold themselves to children who seemed to be underage. What the Ministry of Punishment did, they got the emperor's oral order. How could this be possible.

"Excuse me, my lord, can we bring our family members?" The person who spoke knew that they were destined to be betrayed, and the officials above were not asking them, but telling them.My heart is full of pain but I still have to straighten my back.

"Repeat offenders are not allowed to bring their wives and children, but they are also slaves. Will you?"

It is better to be a slave than to go to the place of distribution, and it is better than to bear the name of a criminal minister. Although they don't know what the use of buying underage dolls is, judging from the people left behind, it is definitely not a job to serve people.

"Can't parents?"

Wang Xiujin looked at the person who spoke. This person was filial, but unfortunately his parents were not loyal.The person from the Ministry of Criminal Justice directly rejected the other party's question and sneered, "It's okay to protect your mother, but not your father. I know you are filial, but you have to think about what your father committed. The prince singled you out, and then It was your good fortune that you brought your wife and children with you, and it was the grace given by the prince. What's the matter, you still think that the emperor can let the repeat offender go out?"

The person who opened the mouth shut his mouth truthfully, intellectually he knew that what the adults said was right, but emotionally he naturally didn't want his father to suffer, so he could only stop and sigh.After the accident at home, it's not that he was angry with his father for doing such an infidelity, but he couldn't open his mouth to criticize.Now being sold by the emperor to others and turned into a slave, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.The father entrusted the eldest brother to take care of her, and the mother's health was not good, so staying in the capital would at least save her from running around.

Seeing that the officials had explained that Wang Xiujin didn't want to say any more, he bid farewell to Shangshu. He still needed to prepare the residences of these people, and the Ministry of Punishment also needed to get these people's contracts of prostitution in place, and set a time for their next visit, so Wang Xiujin left However, the Shangshu asked the officials to beat these people again. After returning here, they should be careful about what they can say and what they cannot say.

These people cannot go out of Beijing for a short period of time, and the place to be resettled is the first problem to be solved. Naturally, they are not brought back to do the work of serving people. Wife and children, women can't be idle, since they also have a contract of sale, naturally they can't raise them for nothing, they have to create wealth for him, at least they have to earn money for three meals a day.As for their children, I have also thought about it, talents should be cultivated from an early age, and they can become successors.

Wang Xiujin was very busy, but he didn't forget to go to the general's mansion every day to see how Li Sushan was recovering. It was a poisonous injury, and whenever Wang Xiujin thought about it, he would get goose bumps all over his body.Li Sushan had already started boxing, and spent every morning and evening in the practice room, of course Wang Xiujin didn't know about it.Every time Li Sushan wanted to help Wang Xiujin, it was just that he was not a business person at all, so in order not to be a waste of help, he had to recover as soon as possible to protect Wang Xiujin's safety.

Coming out of the tooth shop, Wang Xiujin frowned. He looked at several places, but he was not satisfied. Either there was this problem, or he was not satisfied with it.The people in the dental shop asked Wang Xiujin what kind of house he wanted to find. He had repeated the ideal structure in his heart several times. For study, there is a place to live, a canteen where you can eat, and a place to store books.People in the tooth shop have never seen the school, nor have they been to the largest schools in the capital, so naturally they don't know the structure.After Wang Xiujin realized it, he came up with an idea and asked the fourth prince for a piece of land to build a house.

After the fourth prince returned to Beijing, he didn't dare to join Wang Xiujin. He thought he had a very good relationship with Wang Xiujin. Li Sushan was injured because of saving him, so he felt very sorry for Wang Xiujin.And he was really busy, so he kept avoiding it.When he heard that Wang Xiujin was going to see him, the fourth prince felt uneasy.

When Wang Xiujin saw the fourth prince's people, he immediately proposed to build a house. As for Li Sushan's injury, he didn't mention a word.The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed to build the house, and also designated a place for Wang Xiujin. This place is not far from the king's house. It used to be an official's house, but it was taken back and allocated due to a crime, and the house was empty. down.Now that Wang Xiujin needs to build a house in the capital, the fourth prince should give a good place to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Wang Xiujin found it funny that he was careful to please the fourth prince. He didn't blame the fourth prince. He only blamed Li Sushan for failing to protect himself. There are many ways to save people, and there is not only one way to ward off harm.Of course, in a critical situation, it may be the most instinctive reaction to block with your body.After that, he chatted some gossips with the fourth prince, and Wang Xiujin left in a hurry.The fourth prince murmured unconsciously, "Is this anger? Or calmed down?"

"The slave thinks that the prince is not angry with the master." The relatives at the side saw it clearly, "With the ability of the prince, if he is angry, he will not ask the master for help. You can ask the Li family directly. The prince came to find the master. , that is, he did not treat the master as an outsider."

The fourth prince thought about it, so he immediately called the construction workers over, and handed over the drawings sent by Wang Xiujin.Although the fourth prince doesn't go out of the palace often, he knows what Wang Xiujin is busy with. The fourth prince thinks that Wang Xiujin can always come up with some surprising but very useful ideas. If such a person can become an official, it will definitely benefit everyone.
