Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 42
The changes in the capital are far away from Xiangcheng, Wang Xiujin just sighed about the restaurant, and then he did what he had to do.After shopkeeper Yu had a rest, he started to work in the Wangjia grain shop. At first, shopkeeper Yu was still worried about being seen by his former owner, but after a long time, shopkeeper Yu didn't care anymore.Since I went to the capital, shopkeeper Yu has opened his eyes, and his style of doing things is also very different from before.
Wang Xiujin didn't know what shopkeeper Yu was like before, but looking at the way he was running the shop now, he felt that shopkeeper Wu had a good vision.For this reason, I went to the grocery store to send some things to express my gratitude.Wang Xiujin felt relieved when the shopkeeper took care of the shop, so he spent more time at home. Only his sister was in charge of the house, so Wang Xiujin was really worried.
The planting of the second season in Wang Village has been completed. Most of the plantings in the second season are cold-resistant grains. Although their village is located in the south, it is not feasible to plant two crops of rice. Sometimes there is snow in winter here. Especially in the past two years, on that day, it was difficult to see the sun, and there were disasters everywhere. Fortunately, the new emperor was kind. He did not increase taxes, and even reduced or exempted them. It really lightened their burden.
Now the village has even signed a grain harvesting order with Lao Liu's family. From now on, all the grain they grow will be sold to Lao Liu's family. They have all heard that the grain grown by Lao Liu's family this year is sold at a high price in the city. They also sell a limited amount per person every day. In the past, the grain shops collected by the stone, and the old six families collected by the catty. Although the price is not as high as his retail sale price, it is also more honest than the one stone for one stone.
Wangcun and several neighboring villages are looking forward to a quicker life. They will plant the land next year. After autumn, they can sell it at a high price and make money to repair the family's house or to beg for their children. daughter in law.Everyone was thinking about their plans, and when they saw Wang Xiujin, they all smiled, greeted each other, and warmly invited them to their house.Not only Wang Xiujin, but all the old six families received such a welcome. Even the few people who had gone to steal the crabs from Wang Xiujin's field before saw Wang Xiujin suppressed their embarrassment and took the initiative to say hello.
Wang Xiujin still can't adapt to the enthusiasm of the villagers. During the second season of planting in the field, he came back and went to the field to see that the land was all planted. The people who helped plant the land were the people who stole the crabs before.Seeing Wang Xiujin, the elders of the six families were a little embarrassed at first, but after seeing that Wang Xiujin didn't show any disgust, they started talking. That one is still full of obsequiousness, from the eyes and actions of the other party, it can be seen that there is no rascal in the past.
They live in the same village, and they are related by relatives. Wang Xiujin doesn't want to make the relationship too rigid. The other party is already so polite. If he puts on airs again, it doesn't seem good. Of course, he will be on guard .He is still grateful for the help of the six people in farming.
Now that there is nothing to do in the field, the shop is prosperous, and there is some spare money in hand, so Wang Xiujin thought about doing something else. Regarding the 5000 taels, Wang Xiujin pretended not to say anything to anyone. He bought a completely inconspicuous ornament from Shopkeeper Wu's shop and hid all the bank notes in it, which was not eye-catching.
There cannot be only one or two types of grain in the grain store. Shopkeeper Yu knows a few merchants who supply goods, but now there are three contracts, few merchants are willing to sign, and these merchants have a long history with another grain store. It is a bit difficult for Wang Xiujin to intervene.The ones in Wu County couldn't be imagined, so Wang Xiujin wanted to look for them from other places, and asked shopkeeper Wu to help him find out.
Shopkeeper Wu sincerely made friends with Wang Xiujin, and after getting along with Wang Xiujin for a long time, shopkeeper Wu didn't treat him like a child, and put aside the original intention of being entrusted by his boss.Shopkeeper Wu was very concerned about what Wang Xiujin entrusted, and asked the shopkeeper of Xiangcheng to ask for help. There was no news, so shopkeeper Wu immediately sent someone to Wang Village to inform Wang Xiujin.After Wang Xiujin received the letter, he arranged his family and took Wang Juye into the city.
All the way into the city, Wang Xiujin thought about whether to buy an honest man, but then he could only shake his head when he thought about the situation at home, but if there was no man at home who could support the scene, Wang Xiujin would feel uneasy every time he went to the city.Ever since he returned to Wang Village, Wang Xiujin never regarded his father as a man. Once he left home, he would tell his elder sister everything, and he would ask the neighbors on both sides to help him. Will take something to send to the neighbors.
Wang Xiujin didn't enter his own shop, but went directly to the grocery store. Shopkeeper Wu immediately greeted him with a smile, and told Wang Xiujin the news he got.Something happened to another grain shop in the city. Except for a few vendors in Wu County who originally supplied the food, all the vendors wanted to find another outlet.
"Business Manager Wu, do you know what happened to that family?" Wang Xiujin was worried that that family would come over to make trouble, but now he couldn't see that it was the other party's generosity, but that he was in trouble.
"The owner of the grain shop is also surnamed Wang, so maybe you are from the same family." Shopkeeper Wu thought he was joking, but Wang Xiujin twitched his lips. Seeing his answer, shopkeeper Wu continued, "He married Two bedrooms, one principal and one concubine, the younger brother of the principal wife has a good relationship with the Wang Dong family, and is deeply trusted by the Wang Dong family. I'm not less angry with that person." Shopkeeper Wu added a cup of tea and moistened his throat before continuing.
"After Shopkeeper Yu quit his job, Mr. Wang's family didn't invite any more people. He went to the shop in person every day and seemed to send someone to inquire about Shopkeeper Yu's whereabouts. Maybe he didn't see Shopkeeper Yu appearing in Wu County, so he let it go. Wang The boss sits in the shop every day, but his brother-in-law finds all kinds of excuses to run to their house every day. When he comes and goes, some bad words come out. But the boss Wang trusts his brother-in-law, and there is a wife at home, Of course, people don't believe in crazy words.
It just so happened that the owner of the Heavenly King ate something bad and went home to rest.Dong Wang's family didn't like concubines, they accepted them because the main family only had daughters and no sons, and the concubines had nothing to do after they came in, so naturally they became indifferent.Wang Dong's family entered the courtyard of the main room, and saw no one in the courtyard, he just felt strange, thinking that his daughter-in-law might not be feeling well, how could he hear something coming from inside when he walked to the door..." Wu shopkeeper said this abruptly. He stopped suddenly, the person in front of him was still a half-grown child, even if he didn't treat him as a child at ordinary times, he couldn't say some things in front of a child.
The corner of Wang Xiujin's mouth twitched, he understood, but he still felt that the thunder was rolling, it was his siblings!Thinking about it made me shudder.
"And then?" Wang Xiujin understood, but Wang Juye had a ignorant expression on his face. He was listening vigorously, but he didn't have anything to say, and felt uncomfortable.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Wang Xiujin, and Wang Xiujin patted his nephew on the head, "Go to the shop, I'll look for you later." Wang Juye walked out step by step, turning his head back and forth, until he walked out of the grocery store, but he didn't hear the little uncle's voice, He had no choice but to go to the shop with his head down, and when he reached the door, Wang Juye thought that maybe the shopkeeper would know, and asked later.
In the grocery store, Wang Xiujin opened his mouth after seeing his nephew leave, "How could the matter in the back house affect the front shop?"
"The main wife and younger brother of Dong Wang's family are not real siblings. The younger brother is adopted. You have never seen the appearance of that person. It gives the most intuitive impression that he is not a good person. He can't do things well, and he is very good at flattering people. Otherwise, Dong Wang's family wouldn't be coaxed into trusting him." Shopkeeper Wu didn't continue the gossip just now, and turned to the business. "The younger brother in the main room is too clear about where the money of the brother-in-law's family is stored and how many secret accounts there are. The Wang family who was blocked at the scene didn't have the heart to think about these things, so they drove away the brother-in-law, concubine, and the main room. "
"Wait, why did it involve the concubine's house?" Wang Xiujin was a little puzzled.
"The brother-in-law and concubine's room that Wang Dong's family saw when he entered the door, as for his main room, they were locked in the inner room." Shopkeeper Wu didn't go into details, and continued to talk about what happened next, "After Wang Dong's family drove them away, The main wife cried and complained at her natal home that he was the adopted son, so the old couple naturally wanted to stand by their daughter. After beating the adopted son, they wanted to send it to Mr. Wang's family and let him deal with it. The younger brother ran away with his concubine, and before leaving, he went to Dong Wang's house in the dark, and took all the valuables and bank notes."
Wang Xiujin realized that Wang Dong's family might not have the money to pay the merchants. "Wang Dong's family has been in Wu County for many years, and they should have made a lot of friends, so they can overcome the current difficulties."
"Son, you're still too young." Shopkeeper Wu narrowed his eyes, "Among the valuable things you took away, the land deed is included!"
"..." Wang Xiujin could only express deep sympathy for Wang Dong's family, "Can't the land deed be repaid?"
"I haven't heard that it can be made up." Shopkeeper Wu shook his head, "Boss Wang's family lost a lot, and he fell ill in a fit of anger. Fortunately, he got along well with the supplier, and no one made trouble. Now go to collect debts." On the contrary, several families in Wu County are willing to provide shops for Wang Dong’s family first, and then settle the money for them after the turnover.”
"If the brother-in-law comes back with the title deed, I'm afraid it will change his face? If the yamen gives a supplementary deed, or there is a special registration for the transfer of ownership, then the brother-in-law will not be complacent, and the land deed taken away is nothing more than It's a scrap of paper."
"Wait, according to what you're saying, the land deed lost by Dong Wang's family can actually be replaced." Shopkeeper Wu looked at Wang Xiujin, "Although I haven't heard about the replacement of the deed, there are still registrations for transfers."
"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow. When you are a gang, you still have to help. You also said that the other party may be in the same family as me." Wang Xiujin smiled, "Besides, no one in business thinks of multiple enemies, but multiple friends. .”
Wang Xiujin didn't know what shopkeeper Yu was like before, but looking at the way he was running the shop now, he felt that shopkeeper Wu had a good vision.For this reason, I went to the grocery store to send some things to express my gratitude.Wang Xiujin felt relieved when the shopkeeper took care of the shop, so he spent more time at home.
