Water Margin official

Sun San’s uncle is the old shopkeeper who previously transferred the Lion House.

Zhang Zhengdao saw his hesitant look and asked, "What are your plans?"

Sun San sighed: "I don't really want to go back to my hometown."

"It's just that my uncle is old and doesn't have a helper around him." Sun San was in a dilemma.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Filial piety comes first. Since the old shopkeeper calls you to return to your hometown, you should go back."

"Grand official, I..." Sun San stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Because of the high official's trust, I let the villain take care of the Lion House. Later, I handed over several herbal medicine shops in Qinghe County to the villain.

There was never any suspicion."

"I will remember this kindness in my heart." Sun San bowed again.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at Sun Sandao and said, "You have been with me for more than a year. You must have some idea of ​​what kind of person I am. I never force myself on others."

"Since your uncle has written a letter asking you to go back and help, if I force you to stay, you will be worried all day long and cannot do anything well." Zhang Zhengdao said seriously: "I will simply let you go back generously. If you are destined to come back in the future,

I will definitely use you as I have in the past."

When Sun San heard Zhang Zhengdao's words, the man's eyes turned red with emotion. He saluted again and said: "Official, I cannot say thank you for your kindness. If a villain comes back to Qinghe County in the future, please do not give up."

."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If you come back, don't dare to say anything else. This position of shopkeeper of the Lion House will always be reserved for you."

Sun Sandao said: "The kindness of high officials is as great as a mountain, but small people cannot repay it."

"Knowing that the officials need help, I brought a person from Yanggu County who can be used by the officials," the man said again.

What Zhang Zhengdao admired the most was Sun San. Not only could he do everything in an all-round way, but he could also think about his family, so he asked, "What kind of person is worthy of your recommendation to me?"

Sun San replied: "This person is someone I met accidentally in Yanggu County. He can write and do calculations, is good at talking, and knows some business methods."

"I'll call him up now." Sun San turned around and went downstairs. After a while, he brought up a short, ugly man in his mid-twenties with a cheerful face.

"I met high-ranking officials in Xiahan Daoguo." This man saluted respectfully.

Zhang Zhengdao looked up and down at this famous "cuckold king" who was a replica of Wu Dalang, with a calm expression on his face, and asked: "Since Sun San can introduce you to me, I think Mr. Han must have some skills.

Already?"

Sun San took the initiative to introduce: "A senior official, Brother Han once worked in a yarn shop, and he is very good at speaking, writing and calculation."

Han Daoguo replied: "I don't deserve the praise of Shopkeeper Sun." He puffed out his chest and continued: "I am determined to open a woolen yarn shop, but I have no capital, so I asked Shopkeeper Sun to do it."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "How much capital does it cost to open a woolen yarn shop?"

Han Daoguo had already made the calculation in his mind and immediately replied: "It doesn't require much money, just three thousand guan, it will be enough."

"How much is the monthly profit?" Zhang Zhengdao continued to ask.

Han Daoguo, who was familiar with the road, replied: "Two hundred strings."

"Where do the goods come from, and how do they sell them?" Zhang Zhengdao continued to ask.

Han Daoguo replied: "I know a businessman from Huzhou. There is no need to worry about the supply of silk threads. Senior officials only need to invest some capital and hire a few people to dye the silk. Then they can open two shops and sell silk threads of various colors every day.

There can be an income of hundreds of dollars."

Seeing that he was thinking clearly and answering questions fluently, Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to go back to Yanggu and open a shop?"

Han Daoguo shook his head and said: "The villain has moved to Qinghe County with his wife and daughter."

Sun San interjected: "A senior official, Brother Han is quite talented, but now he only lacks some capital."

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at Sun San and said with a smile: "For the sake of my brother, I invested this money."

Han Daoguo was overjoyed, but still remained calm.

Zhang Zhengdao said: "According to my rules, I can give you 30% of the profit from the yarn shop."

"But the monthly accounts must be sorted out clearly and delivered to the Lion House on time." Zhang Zhengdao warned: "If anyone dares to tamper with the accounts, the consequences will be serious."

Han Daoguo naturally knew the identity of Zhang Zhengdao as the inspector of the three counties, and he said seriously: "I don't dare, but the high officials can rest assured."

Remembering that he still had a tailor shop at home, Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "Shopkeeper Han, do you have a way to buy good silk from Jiangnan?"

Han Daoguo thought for a while and replied: "I can ask my friends in Huzhou to bring some silk with them when they traffic in silk threads."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Let's roll out the wool first. You and Zhang Liu can choose where to open this shop. As for the required capital, it will be withdrawn from the Lion House. The accounts should be written clearly. If there is any profit, it will be returned together."

Come back."

Han Daoguo said happily: "I know, thank you so much."

Zhang Zhengdao said with an indifferent expression: "Shopkeeper Han, the way to make money is to make money in a wise way. I don't want to hear from the neighbors that the shop opened by my Zhang family sells defective products, which will ruin the reputation of my Zhang family."
Han Daoguo said quickly: "I understand, the officials can rest assured."

"Zhang Liu has been busy these past two days. If Sun San is not in a hurry to return to his hometown, he can help shopkeeper Han choose the shop and open it first," Zhang Zhengdao ordered.

Sun Sandao: "I will accompany Brother Han to choose a shop."

The two of them went there. Zhang Zhengdao tapped his fingers on the table and suddenly gave a wry smile. Now he has a group of wives and concubines at home, and runs a herbal medicine shop, a tailor shop and a yarn shop.

If he opens another pawn shop and takes on some brokerage business dealing with the yamen, Ximen Qing will be reincarnated.

"You have to take care of yourself. If you die young, this huge family fortune will be divided up in an instant." Zhang Zhengdao thought to himself. Fortunately, he is better than Ximen Qing. Now he has a son, Zhang Ping'an.

There are also two unborn children.

He has many heirs and branches and leaves. Even if something happens to him, the Zhang family will not fall.

"Bah! Why do you think of such unlucky things!" The official reorganized the thoughts in his mind.

"After Jia's visit, we have to go to Liangshan." Zhang Zhengdao made up his mind and stopped thinking about it. He picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat some food and wine.

After he was full of wine and food, Zhang Zhengdao walked to the backyard with his hands behind his back to see Li Jiaoer, Qin Yuzhi and other girls.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, these pretty ladies surrounded the senior officials and talked about how they missed her.

"It's been a lot of hard work for you these days." Zhang Zhengdao rarely expressed his hard work to them.

Ever since Zhang Zhengdao redeemed themselves from the hook bar and danced in the Lion House every day to seduce the diners, the sisters have long been accustomed to this step-by-step life.

The only flaw is that without the nourishment of men, the women can't sleep alone at night, which is quite lonely.

Qin Yuzhi'er put her arms around the official's neck, sat in his arms, and said softly: "Guanren, when did you want our sisters?"

Li Jiaoer also said: "Yes, officials and servants have been keeping themselves as pure as jade for more than a year without letting a man touch them. They have long been unbearably lonely."

Wu Yin'er, Han Jinchuan'er, Han Yuchuan'er, and Zhang Xichun also nodded frequently. It was rare that they stopped bickering with each other today and were determined to keep the high-ranking official.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If you don't talk about this, let me perform a dance first to show you to my officials."

"Whoever dances best will spend the night in whose room tonight." Zhang Zhengdao decided to reward them.

After all, these sisters were once the top names in the flower houses in Qinghe County, and the various tastes in the boudoir were unmatched by the wives and concubines at home.
