The next morning, Zhang Zhengdao, under the service of Jin Lian, tidied up and took Zhang Liu with him. They took everything in the house as ten pieces of money and loaded it all on the carriage, preparing to take it to Linqing Tower.

One thousand dollars to buy a little-known restaurant in Qinghe County was a bit expensive, but Zhang Zhengdao thought it was worth it.

This restaurant happens to be at the crossroads of Zishi Street and Qinghe Street, and is also the only way to Linqing Wharf in the north of the city. It has a strategic location.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, there were more and more pedestrians on the street. Zhang Liu drove his carriage and horse and followed Zhang Zhengdao without saying a word.

Yesterday, while Zhang Zhengdao was going to see Sister Dong, he secretly sneaked into the home of a secret prostitute and went there happily.

When he came back, Zhang Zhengdao had already disappeared. In desperation, he had to return home alone. He was met by Zhang Dahu who was about to go out, and he was scolded bloody.

Zhang Zhengdao was walking on the road, thinking about his next plan.

Although it is still some years away from the humiliation of Jingkang that shook the country, we must make plans early.

In troubled times, what is most important? Of course, strong generals and elite soldiers, plus various strategic materials.

Fortunately, there is still enough time reserved for him, so he can plan carefully.

When we arrived at Linqing Building, the old shopkeeper had been waiting for a long time. Yesterday he promised to sell the restaurant. Although he was reluctant to give up, he kept his promise and called Yaren and the neighbors early as witnesses.

At this time in the Song Dynasty, the buying and selling of land was quite complicated. Whether it was a pawn sale or an absolute sale, the consent of relatives and neighbors was required, and a sales contract was also made in four copies, one for the owner, one for the owner, and one for the owner.

Commercial and Taxation Bureau, one copy shall be retained in the county.

Under the witness of everyone, a contract of absolute sale was signed, and the Linqing Building came under Zhang Zhengdao's name.

Treat the hefty pile as ten coins, count out a thousand coins, and hand it over to the old shopkeeper, and the procedure is completed.

Zhang Zhengdao was not stingy. Every neighbor who came here gave ten coins to each person as a thank you for coming to witness.

But in this way, Zhang Zhengdao had very little left after taking out ten pieces of money from his home.

Two months ago, this coin was worth ten cents, and could still be worth ten cents. However, following a ridiculous decree from the imperial court, this coin was now only worth three cents, and its value instantly lost 70%.<

/p>

For a time, the people were in an uproar and the world was shocked.

The biggest impact of this is undoubtedly on these wealthy landlords, who all have a lot of cash in their homes.

On the contrary, ordinary people are slightly better off, and the losses are not too great.

The money in his hand has almost been spent, but Zhang Zhengdao doesn't care. Money has to be spent anyway. He is now at the stage of starting a business and must not be stingy.

After taking over the restaurant, Zhang Zhengdao asked Zhang Liu to rush to make a new plaque and prepare to hang it up in the afternoon.

New people, new atmosphere, how can we still use this old name?

After Zhang Liu left, Zhang Zhengdao took Sun San around again, inside and out, and got to know the current business situation of the restaurant. He could only say that it was good or not bad.

Mainly because there are so many restaurants and tea shops in this city, the competition is extremely fierce.

After Zhang Zhengdao understood the situation, he thought about how to open up the situation.

Sitting on the third floor of the restaurant, looking at the hustle and bustle of Qinghe County, Zhang Zhengdao had some ideas.

After the old shopkeeper got the money, he hired a carriage to transport the big money away. The third floor naturally became Zhang Zhengdao's territory.

Zhang Zhengdao called Sun San over and told him to find some craftsmen, buy some wood, screens, tables and chairs, and prepare to renovate the restaurant.

Sun San got the instructions and hurried away.

Just at this moment, Wu Song came.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other by the window on the third floor.

Zhang Zhengdao asked the cook to prepare two more dishes, boiled a pot of good wine, and the two chatted while eating.

"Brother Wu, I can't get away these two days. I can only put off practicing boxing and kicking for a while." Zhang Zhengdao explained.

Wu Song knew that he had just bought this restaurant and had many chores to do, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, there are still some things in the county government that have not been taken care of."

Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously: "Brother Wu is still working in the county government?"

Wu Song explained: "I have had nothing to do since I returned home. Later, after being introduced by a fellow villager, I got a low-level job in the county government to earn some spare money and make a living."

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly realized, no wonder Wu Songneng and several government officials from the county sat together for a drink and dinner yesterday.

"It's all about trivial matters. It's not on the table, and it's insulted by those bastards." Wu Song said casually.

Zhang Zhengdao consoled him: "Since things are not going well, Brother Wu will come to my place and just take care of the wine and food every day and stand up for me."

Wu Song shook his head and said: "We will discuss it later."

Zhang Zhengdao had some food and wine with him, but Zhang Liu came back with a plaque.

After hanging the plaque, the three shining golden lacquer words were particularly dazzling.

Lion Tower!

Zhang Zhengdao renamed Linqing Tower the Lion Tower, which was where Wu Song fought and killed Ximen Qing.

At this time, Sun San also called some craftsmen back and bought some wood, tables and chairs.

Zhang Zhengdao took these craftsmen to the second floor and told them how to transform the second floor.

Zhang Zhengdao's original intention was to divide the hall on the second floor into five or six rooms and use them as private rooms for distinguished guests.

The first floor serves as a lobby to entertain individual visitors and ordinary people.

As for the third floor, there are no plans to open it to the public for the time being, leaving it as a place for him and Wu Song to drink and talk.

After explaining everything, Zhang Zhengdao became the hands-off shopkeeper and handed everything over to Zhang Liu and Sun San.

He himself continued to go back upstairs, chatting with Wu Song about daily life, developing feelings, and consolidating the relationship between the two.

Today, Wu Song restrained his desire to drink. After eating only one pot, he put down his chopsticks and left.

Zhang Zhengdao only thought that he had something to do, so he didn't stay at all. He continued to work on the renovation of the Lion Building so that he could open the door earlier to welcome guests.

However, Wu Song said that after leaving the Lion Tower, he returned to the county government without stopping.

While walking on the road, he was still thinking about Zhang Zhengdao's character. After spending the past two days together, it seemed that he was quite inconsistent with the libertine rumored in the county government.

Immediately, Wu Song laughed at himself: "Why do you want to do this? As long as he is not a person who does not know morals, he can be worthy of Wu Er's brother."

After entering the county government office, Hua Helu, the chief clerk of the county, was writing documents at his desk. When he saw Wu Song coming in, he threw down his brush and said coldly: "Wu Er, you were drunk yesterday, and you sent Li

It is rumored that the others were injured, do you know the crime?"

Wu Song, on the other hand, was happy and undaunted, and asked: "Master Hua, Li Waichuan and others have ever appealed?"

Hua Helu's face froze, but Wu Er was still so stubborn and said displeasedly: "I have never complained, but without them, who is going to arrest this thief in this county?"

Wu Song said loudly: "Just a little thief."

Hua Helu slapped the table and shouted: "Since you, Wu Er, don't like this little thief, I'll leave the arrest to you. You have to escort the thief Zhu Sanwang back within two days."

Wu Song raised his head and said, "What's so difficult about this?" After saying that, he strode away.

Hua He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't do anything to Wu Song. The county magistrate Li Datian and the county prime minister Le He'an both valued Wu Song. Whenever there were thieves that were difficult to capture, they relied on this stupid green to kill them.
