Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Seeing Zhang Chen so moved by a beggar, Wu, the butler, could not help but become suspicious.

Gao Shun was stunned at first, but then he recognized Zhang Chen and stood up to return the greeting, saying: "Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted and helps the poor, but those people are ignorant and want to kill him. How can Shun watch him die without saving him?"

Hearing this, Wu suddenly remembered that he had searched for Zhang Chen in the city that day, but couldn't find him. Later, two children from the market told him that Zhang Chen was knocked unconscious and sent to the clinic. When he arrived at the clinic, the doctor said that a disheveled beggar carried him on his back and took out the few coins he had to pay for his medical expenses.

The young master just mentioned "life-saving grace", could it be that the beggar that day was this person?

When Wu thought of this, he also looked at Gao Shun and was in awe.

A poor beggar was willing to take out the only money he had for a stranger. This man was truly a righteous man!

Thinking of this, Wu, the housekeeper, also hurriedly bowed.

Zhang Chen then bowed again and said, "The warrior is committed to the market and does not beg, which shows that his integrity has not changed. That day, I saw the warrior acted for justice and was quite brave. Now my house is in need of a guard. I wonder if the warrior is willing to do it? Apart from other things, the monthly allowance for three meals a day will not be less, which is better than living in the open air."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shun eagerly.

It has always been the most heartwarming to "help in times of trouble". Gao Shun was in a state of desolation at this time, and Zhang Chen's words undoubtedly deeply warmed his heart.

But he has always been loyal and righteous. If he really agreed, he would have to stay with a merchant as a slave for the rest of his life. A real man has lofty ambitions. How could he be willing to be a guard for the rest of his life?

Thinking of this, Gao Shun was in a dilemma for a while.

Zhang Chen saw his hesitation, and he knew about 70% of it. It must be Gao Shun's loyalty that made him embarrassed.

So Zhang Chen said: "A brave man does not change his integrity when he is poor and humble, which shows that he has lofty ambitions. If you don't abandon me, you can first bend to a certain place. If you have a place to go in the future, you can leave by yourself. Zhang will never stop you."

Zhang Chen said frankly, and he also had some thoughts in his heart.

Now it is the second year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling is still in power, and although the Han Dynasty is in decline, it will not collapse. Moreover, before Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the situation of the heroes competing for hegemony was not clear, so how could the world have a wise leader?

If what he planned was successful, he could transform himself and become a noble family. In the future, it would be much easier to just wait for the times to change and start a rebellion. By then, with his familiarity with the trend of the Three Kingdoms, he will surely be able to take the lead and rise quickly. Why should he be afraid that Gao Shun will not sincerely submit?

Hearing Zhang Chen say this, Gao Shun could not help but burst into tears of gratitude, and immediately bowed and said: "Sir, I am very grateful for your kindness, and I will protect you in the future!"

"Haha! Good! In this case, warrior, come back with me!"

Zhang Chen was overjoyed, and took Gao Shun's hand, not caring whether the mud and dust on his hands would dirty his brocade clothes, and led Gao Shun all the way to Zhang's house.

Passers-by saw this and cast curious eyes, Zhang Chen didn't care at all, and Gao Shun couldn't help but feel a little more grateful in his heart.

Wu, the butler on the side, saw it, stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and secretly admired it in his heart.

The young master is so young, but he knows how to win people's hearts. He will become a great man in the future!

Soon, the three returned to the door of Zhang's house. Ping'er had been waiting at the door early. Seeing them coming back, she hurriedly came to greet them.

"Why did the young master bring a beggar back?" Ping'er looked at Gao Shun's ragged clothes and couldn't help curling her lips and blurted out.

Gao Shun couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard it.

Zhang Chen hurriedly stopped her and said to Gao Shun: "Don't blame me, a brave man, a child can't hold back."

As he said that, Zhang Chen's face was stern, and he said to Ping'er: "This is my lifesaver. Last time I was beaten, it was thanks to him who rescued me. Ping'er, you can't be rude!"

Ping'er also knew that Zhang Chen was saved by a disheveled beggar before. After hearing what Zhang Chen said, she immediately understood and hurriedly apologized to Gao Shun.

So, Zhang Chen first asked the housekeeper Wu to take Gao Shun down to wash up and prepare some food for him. The housekeeper Wu agreed and took Gao Shun down.

Soon, Gao Shun had eaten and drunk his fill, washed himself, and changed into new clothes. Then, together with housekeeper Wu, he came to visit Zhang Chen to express his gratitude.

Zhang Chen and Ping'er walked out of the door and saw the man in front of them. They were surprised to find that Gao Shun was so handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, awe-inspiring, tall and strong.

Judging from his appearance, he was only a few years older than Zhang Chen, at most in his early twenties, a young hero!

Gao Shun clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Chen, saying, "Shun, thank you for taking me in."

Zhang Chen hurriedly helped him up and said, "How can you say filial piety? You saved my life, and I have nothing to repay you. This is just a small matter.It's nothing to mention. You can stay here with peace of mind."

"How do you know my name, sir?" Gao Shun was stunned for a moment. Since the two of them met, he seemed to have never mentioned his name, so how did Zhang Chen know it?

"Ah... this..." Zhang Chen felt that he had let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiaofu is my lifesaver, how can I not find out the name of the benefactor? A few days ago, I have sent people to look for him many times."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he winked at Wu Guanjia.

Wu Guanjia immediately understood and hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "That's right, the young master ordered me to find out Gao Zhuangshi's name and whereabouts, and today I went to look for him specially."

"Huh? Young master, you are not..."

"Ahem! ! "

Zhang Chen glared at Ping'er, and Ping'er realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she kept silent.

Gao Shun was skeptical, but did not ask any further questions.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Chen asked Ping'er to call Wu Guanjia to the study. He had already visited the dock during the day, and next, Zhang Chen was going to start his plan.

After a while, Wu Guanjia came to the study, and Zhang Chen said straight to the point: "Uncle Wu said before that he could revitalize the Zhang family's property. Is this true?"

Wu Guanjia smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry. Originally, I was only 70% sure, but after today, I am 100% sure. But, are you sure to hand over all the property to me? "

Speaking of this, Wu looked at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen pondered secretly.

According to the original owner's memory, Wu had followed Master Zhang for many years and had always been loyal to him. He had never left him during his coma. If he had any ulterior motives, he would never do this.

Forget it, if you doubt someone, don't employ him. If you employ someone, don't doubt him. It's only two hundred thousand yuan. If he really has ulterior motives, I will take his entry and start over.

After making up his mind, Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he smiled slightly and said, "I can trust Uncle Wu. However, what I want is not just to revitalize the industry. I wonder if you can surprise me? "

Zhang Chen said with a smile, and a deep look appeared in his eyes when he looked at Wu Guanjia.

The first step of his plan is for the Zhang family to return to its peak and dominate Guangping. With the support of financial resources, he can then benefit the people and take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people. When the time is right, he will find a way to replace this dog official county magistrate and truly establish his own power.

Now that there are still a few years before the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, he must occupy the territory as soon as possible. The sooner he becomes a lord, the greater the advantage will be when the chaos comes.

Recruiting troops and horses later, it will require a lot of A lot of money, he must also accumulate enough wealth.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei had Mi Zhu, Cao Cao had Wei Zi, Sun Quan had Lu Su, and every overlord had the support of a financier behind him.

But Zhang Chen didn't have that, he was his own financier!

Zhang Chen looked at Butler Wu quietly, which made him pause. He suddenly felt that the young master seemed to have something different.

That feeling is hard to describe, but it would never appear in a businessman.

"I don't know... what extent does the young master want me to do?"

"Do your best, the more the better." Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Just let it go. I will give you full authority over business matters. As for the rest, I will take care of it."
