Chapter 20 Gradual Stabilization
The contract is in duplicate, and Sun Jie and Wang Bi each keep one copy.

After each put the contract in place, Sun Jie took the Wang pen and began to familiarize himself with the environment.

"In my shop, I currently sell icing sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, and even sour candy for children. The prices of these things vary. Let me introduce you slowly..."

Sun Jie wandered around the shop with the Wang pen, explaining patiently.

Wang took good notes and wrote down everything Sun Jie said.

"Okay, that's the main situation. Have you written it down?" Sun Jie stopped at the door and looked at Wang Bi who was standing behind him.

Wang Bi nodded and said, "I've written it down!"

"That's good. I'll leave the shop to you in the future. Two of my three attendants will be left as servants. If something special happens, you can discuss it with them first. If you can't solve it, come to the east of the city." Find me!" Sun Jie patted Wang Bi's shoulder, and said in a puffed up voice: "Work hard, in the future, I can't only have this shop, follow me, the future is bright!"

"Thank you for your cultivation, I will never forget it!" Wang Bi hastily cupped his hands to thank him.

The expression of gratitude didn't last long, and embarrassment appeared on his face.

Seeing Wang Bi's hesitation, Sun Jie said bluntly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, you are already mine, what else is there to be polite?!"

The hesitation on Wang Bi's face eased a little, and then turned into anxiety, "Master, I haven't had enough food for a long time at my next house. I heard that my master feeds the Xiqin class with refined grains. He is a kind-hearted person. Can you advance one month's wages in advance to relieve the urgent need?"

After speaking, the anxiety on Wang Bi's face became heavier.

He has said this so many times and to so many bosses, but what he got in exchange is basically scolding.

They all said: "This is a year of famine, it is a great favor to give you a bite of food, what else do you dare to ask for?" and other words.

If it wasn't really hard to live on, how could he say such a thing?
"I thought it was something, it's a simple matter, I can make the decision now, advance your salary for a month.

It's just that the shop doesn't receive much silver now, and it will have to be turned around in the future. Most of them are copper coins. I will use copper to convert silver to you for settlement. As for the polished rice, I will give you a stone. The extra is considered an incentive.

You will find a flatbed truck later, come and pull it! "

What Sun Jie said was plain, Wang Bi's eyes were red.

He was about to kneel and kowtow, but Sun Jie stopped him.

Sun Jie saw Wang Bi's embarrassment. In a famine year, how many families can feed their stomachs?
"How can a person have no difficulties in this life? Who can guarantee that this life will be smooth? Maybe I will rely on you in the future!" Sun Jie took Wang Bi's hand and persuaded him with a smile.

Wang Bi swore again and again: "My master's heart is so kind, I can't repay it! I swear, if I do something wrong to my master in the future, I won't enter the ancestral grave, and I won't enjoy incense!"

In the ancient times when the inheritance of incense was valued, this oath was too heavy.

"Speak well!" Sun Jie advised.

……

The sun fell to the ground again, and the day was over.

After a busy day, Sun Jie sat in the supermarket and kowtowed melon seeds.

It is rare to enjoy the leisure time that is hard to come by.

A documentary about the end of the Ming Dynasty was playing on the computer on the counter. Ever since he was able to cross the end of the Ming Dynasty and modern times, Sun Jie began to make up for history.

History books, videos, as long as they are related to the end of Ming Dynasty, they will be carefully watched.

Fascinated by watching, Fan Xiaopeng rode a small electric donkey and stopped at the door.

"Brother Sun!"

As soon as the car was stabilized, he yelled at Sun Jie in the shop.

Sun Jie watched intently, but didn't react.

Fan Xiaopeng came to the counter, and his voice was a little louder, "What are you doing, Brother Sun?"

Sun Jie regained his composure, and threw the melon seeds in his hand into the trash can at his feet.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from under the counter, put it on the counter, and signaled Fan Xiaopeng to smoke by himself.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?" Sun Jie asked.

Fan Xiaopeng was also polite, opened the unopened box of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes from inside, and handed one to Sun Jie.

Order Sun Jie first, and then yourself.

After taking a puff on the cigarette, he said, "Brother Sun said before that he would invest in a machinery factory for me. I went back and told my dad. I've teased him for a long time, and he agreed."

Fan Xiaopeng's face was full of smiles, his eyes were narrowed, and he took a few puffs of cigarettes.

Sun Jie flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Since that's the case, we have to choose a place and apply for a license. It seems that we have been busy recently."

Fan Xiaopeng patted himself on the chest, and said swearingly: "What's the matter? My dad used to be an employee of the Provincial Machinery Factory, so he has some connections.

These things are not too difficult to do.My family's workshop is the people my dad is looking for. It's just that my dad has a strong personality, and he doesn't want to ask them or accept help from others. In addition, there is a big gap between the front and the back, so his personality is getting more and more withdrawn.

For so many years, there was only one thing they asked for. "

Fan Xiaopeng's father, who used to be an employee of the Provincial Machinery Factory, was also a technician inside, and he also had certain contacts.

The technicians at that time were not generally popular.

In the factory, very respected.Time passed, and then the machinery factory had problems, and the employees were asked to find their own way out.

After leaving the factory, the halo on his body disappeared almost instantly. From a respected Master Fan, he suddenly became a dispensable passerby. His mentality was not very stable, and his personality became more and more weird.

Fan Xiaopeng explained: "I haven't looked for them for many years, if my dad looks down on them, things will probably work out.

Originally, my dad didn't want to, but when I told about the bride price, he was speechless! "

"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. In the recent period, you should do this first. After it's done, I'll go over and have a look.

When all is said and done, I'll give you my money.As for what to produce, you don't have to worry about it, I will arrange it when the time comes, just do as I say! "Sun Jie took a puff of cigarette and said.

"In that case, then I will listen to Brother Sun!" Fan Xiaopeng replied.

When it was meal time, the two ordered takeaway, a roast chicken, a grilled fish, and two large bowls of rice.

The two sat in the middle of the supermarket, drinking beer and eating roast chicken.

Recently, Fan Xiaopeng was busy with the tasks that Sun Jie had entrusted to him. After eating, he rested for a while, and after sunset, he rode an electric donkey back.

I don't drink much beer, so don't worry too much.

Sun Jie brought the sugar, rice and other things he bought to the end of the Ming Dynasty. When he walked out of the golden gate, he found that the light above the golden gate was somewhat dim.

It seems that I can't travel frequently during this period of time. Let the golden gate be charged first, so as not to lose the chain at critical times.

Now there are still some stocks in the warehouse of the store, so these things that Sun Jie brought are currently placed in the place where he lives, in case of unexpected needs.

It's still early, and it's okay to be idle anyway, so I took Chen Hu, who was watching the yard, to the shop.

Wang Bi was dealing with chores in the shop, seeing Sun Jie who came in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How's business going recently? Did you have anything else to do while I was away?" Sun Jie asked.

"Business is fine, and there is nothing else to do." Wang Bi replied seriously.

"Okay, go do your own work, I'll just take a look around here!"

Sun Jie waved his hand towards Wang Bi, signaling him to go to work first.

There are many people in the store who come to buy icing sugar, but most of them come to buy brown sugar, like rock sugar or white sugar, not many people buy it.

These people who bought brown sugar were basically middle-aged people, and they knew they were married men just by looking at their posture.

Since Sun Jie started selling brown sugar, he has vigorously publicized the effects of brown sugar and the benefits of brown sugar for women, and even made up various slogans.

Like, "Women should be kinder to themselves, drink Honey Pavilion brown sugar water, and make your skin smooth and tender!"

Also, "Whether a man respects you or not depends on whether he buys you Honey Pavilion brown sugar water!"

There is even, "When menstruation comes, just drink Honey Pavilion brown sugar water, and you will be pain-free forever!"

These words seem a bit vulgar in this era, but they are very useful, and regular wives will eat this.

Also, these are all tried and tested advertising words, how could it not work?

The old men may not care too much about these things, but the wives of these old men don't think so.

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of women was not low, only concubines.

A man's main wife has the same status as a man at home.If a man wants to take a concubine, if he does not get the consent of his wife, the concubine cannot take it.

The status of concubines in the family is slightly higher than that of ordinary servants, and the opinion of the main wife is very important in family matters.

It is inconvenient for regular wives to show their faces, so these elders will do it for them.

This is something bought for the main wife, how can I let the servants do it?If you let the servants do it, who knows what kind of moths will happen in the future, it's better to go there yourself, so as to avoid any more moths.

In addition to these elders, those brothels in Xi'an Mansion are also the main force of purchases.

These brothel women can't easily show their faces, so they let the brothel servants buy them for them, and there are a lot of them when they buy them.

Sun Jie flipped through the account books of the recent period, and then looked at the big men who bought brown sugar in the store, and couldn't help sighing, "It seems that what you said is really good. No matter what era, women's spending power is indeed The strongest!"

Just as he was calculating the recent earnings, a soap official stopped at the door.

Putting down the ledger in his hand, looking at the official who stopped at the door, Sun Jie walked out with a puzzled expression on his face.

Zao Li is a member of the government. If he came to the door suddenly, there must be something wrong.This shop belonged to Prince Qin's mansion, Sun Jie was a little puzzled, why did the officials come here?
"Dare to ask Mr. Sun face to face?" The official bowed his hands to Sun Jie politely.

Sun Jie was a little surprised by his attitude. He had no acquaintances in the government, nor was he a noble person. Why?

"Yes, I am Sun Jie, what's the matter?" Sun Jie asked.

Zao Li took out an invitation card from his pocket and said, "Tomorrow night, Mr. Sun will hold a banquet at Qinxiang Tower. This is your invitation card!"

Handing the invitation to Sun Jie, the official left before Sun Jie could ask any questions.

"Mr. Sun?"

Sun Jie opened the invitation card suspiciously, and saw the words "Sun Boya".

These are Sun Chuanting's words, Sun Jie knows.

But I don't know him, why is he inviting me?
He took the invitation and went back to the counter, unable to understand the reason.

"Is there anything worrying about my master?" Wang Bi came over.

The scene just now was seen by Wang Bi, so he came to ask what happened.

Sun Jie opened the memorial on the table, pointed to the three words Sun Boya on it, and said: "Sun Boya, this is the word of the governor of Shaanxi today. He said that he would hold a banquet in Qinxianglou. I don't know the governor. My lord doesn't know me either, but why would he ask someone to send me an invitation?"

"If the next guess is correct, it should be like this..." Wang Bi explained: "Master, it's like this.

Previously, Lord Sun was sent by His Majesty to our Shaanxi, and asked him to manage the bandits around Shaanxi.

Although Mr. Sun was the only important task of His Majesty, I heard that His Majesty did not give Mr. Sun a single cent of salary, not even manpower.

Military pay, food, medicinal materials, these things need to be settled by Mr. Sun himself.Mr. Sun is different from other officials. If they are other officials, when they take up the post in Shaanxi, they will definitely focus on ordinary people, and maybe they will even get additional assignments.

Mr. Sun did not do this. After Mr. Sun took office, he invited the gentry and dignitaries of the city to have a meal. The meal was not free, and he asked them to donate.

If you have money, you can contribute money, if you don’t have money, you can contribute to land. If you have something, you can contribute. Anyway, you must produce something.

Where are the gentlemen in the city willing?Say nothing.Mr. Sun was also ruthless, and said, if you don’t give it, then you will clear the land, check the concealment, and strictly check the donation. If you still refuse, then you will finish with the Xi’an mansion.

Where have these gentlemen in the city seen such a posture?It started to make trouble, and some people even tried to impeach His Majesty, but I heard that His Majesty was also wronged and had a headache, so he didn't say anything, just let Mr. Sun deal with it.

In addition, Mr. Sun caught some of the vicious ones and used some tricks to force them to agree.

I said yes, how much money do ordinary people have?That's the way to go, let those old men pay for it. "

Hearing Wang Bi's explanation, Sun Jie suddenly became enlightened.

"I'm afraid I went to myself for this matter." Sun Jie said suddenly.

This matter is also recorded in history. When Chongzhen asked Sun Chuanting to go to Shaanxi, he had nothing but a letter of appointment, and Sun Chuanting was asked to find a way by himself.

When Sun Chuanting arrived in Shaanxi, he set his sights on those gentry.

Get start-up funds from them, start recruiting refugees, reclaim wasteland, and gradually build a powerful army.

As for Prince Qin's Mansion, the character of the old Zhu's family was there. Sun Chuanting didn't get much money from them, and Prince Qin's Mansion only gave some symbolically.

"This is not quite right. Mr. Sun has also been to the Qin Palace before, but the Qin Palace only gave some money symbolically. As for the shops below, I haven't heard of anyone who has accepted his invitation! The owner is The people in Prince Qin's Mansion shouldn't be!" Wang Bi was also a little puzzled, and said suspiciously.

Sun Jie cooperated with the history and understood a lot, "According to the trend of history, he will lead troops to suppress the thieves in Qingyang and other places in a short time. It is estimated that the banquet tomorrow night will be the same as this time. related!"
