Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 232 That Man Is So Familiar
Zhenning Wang Zhu Youzhen has a close relationship with Zhu Youzhen.

Although the two are ten years apart, they have a close relationship because of their aunt's cousin relationship (the mother of the two is a cousin).

"Brother, why are you here today?"

Looking at the thin figure of his aunt's cousin Zhenning Wang, Zhu Youzhen asked with a painful expression.

This cousin is a nice person, but he is too honest and honest, easily bullied and has a lot of family affairs.

There must still be something to find myself today.

"Ji'er, am I encountering some difficulties again and come to you for help?"

Sure enough, as Zhu Youzhen expected, the cousin came to ask for help again.

Zhu Youchen was a fat man, and he sweated a lot during the trip.

Although he is a county king, his family is very well connected. He gave birth to two sons and three daughters by himself.

The eldest son turned 15 years old before, and he applied for a salary for his son through the clan.

The second son came of age a few months ago, and he just gave some bribes to Shao Heng, hoping to receive the title and salary as soon as possible, so that the family can live more comfortably.

Otherwise, the whole family, children, wives and concubines will have to live on their own capital, and the family will also have a lot of expenses.

Now it is stipulated that the age of receiving salary for the clan has been raised from ten years old to 15 years old. The county king's salary clearly stated that 2000 shi, three cents of the true color, seven cents of banknotes, three cents per stone for the prince of Huguang, six cents per stone for the prince of Huguang, six qian per stone for the king of Huguang, Five coins below the king of the county, these silver conversion standards are generally lower than the local rice price.

In fact, there are fewer and fewer things falling into the hands.

It's good to say that there are people who make a living outside, if not, those days will become more and more rare.

As the king of the county, Zhu Youzhen doesn't mean that he can't afford to eat. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are too many places to take care of at home.

Now Shao Heng is in charge of the affairs of the Xiangfan family, and the children of each clan must show filial piety to him when they receive titles, get married, and have children, otherwise they will be delayed forever.

The two sons received the salary, and Zhu Youyi spent nearly 800 taels of silver with Shao Heng.

This is no small expense.

"What do you need money for? A few days ago, I gave some money to my second son, Shoulu, what are you going to do now?"

Even though Zhu Youzhen has a close relationship with this aunt and cousin, he always feels that he is too honest to run a family, has many children, and lives a miserable life.

He helps a lot, but sometimes he can't help being upset.

"Zhishan wants to get married next year. Don't you have to report it? I went to Shao Heng to report, but the old boy saw that I didn't bring anything, so he didn't even see me. What do you think I can do? The family is a little tight recently. Some time ago, I spent a lot of money on Xiaoer’s salary, and now it’s Zhishan’s turn, what do you think I can do?”

Zhu Youchun said with a little downcast.

Lingshan is Zhu Youchun's younger sister.

The princess also has to report to the royal family to apply for marriage. Apart from the rules, there is also a small subsidy.

It's just that the subsidy is getting less and less, but as a clan, you can't get married at will if you don't apply and get approved.

This also became some means for Shao Heng to manipulate these offshoots of the clan.

"That Shao Heng is so arrogant, it's you people who raised his appetite, and that grandson is a slave, but he bosses his masters around."

When Zhu Youyou mentioned this kind of thing, he couldn't get angry.

"What do you think can be done? Now King Xiang has no heirs, and he may adopt a child from his clan in the future. Those with some strength will look at King Xiang's position and blindly flatter them. We dare not offend those who have no idea , Offend that person, no one will help you out, you can only suffer from being dumb."

"Now Lingshan is 16 years old, and he finally found someone. If he doesn't get married, he will be old! Besides, my big family has children to raise and a younger sister. You are the only one who doesn't know my difficulties. "

When talking about family affairs, Zhu Youchen couldn't help sighing.

"I can only give you 50 taels here. Let me tell you, you can just buy some things and send them over. Even if the princess gets married, there is not much subsidy. If he still makes it difficult for you, if he can't do it, let's go to the Ministry of Rites and find someone Criticism!"

Zhu Youchen said angrily.

Although he said that, it was actually a kind of helplessness.

This kind of thing, not to mention that the officials of the Ministry of Rituals vented their anger with those people, it is a trivial matter for them, and it is estimated that no one cares about it.

It's just grinding and grinding to delay the princess's marriage.

And in the future, they still have to go through that guy to receive their salaries. It's not a last resort. Generally, the clan's family really can do more than do less.

"Brother Chu, you should also be careful. You offended Shao Heng earlier, and I heard that he will investigate your private business affairs again, lest he find out and catch you."

Zhu Youzhen thanked Zhu Youzhen for his help, and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I have signed up for the scientific examination. Maybe I won't be the king of Laoshizi County in the future. What can he do to me? Besides, my business is very hidden, and I won't take the initiative to take the lead! You! Let your children study hard, If the emperor allows the imperial family to take the scientific examination, I feel that this may change the day after tomorrow!"

"Change what?"

"The imperial family has been given the scientific examination. We may be able to enter the imperial court in the future, or at least enter the local government to participate in political affairs. As for the imperial family's salary, it is estimated that it will gradually disappear in the future!"

"No way?"

"Why not? Just wait slowly!"

……

Qin Shao and Wang Yin arrived at Xiangyang Mansion two days later.

Zhang Gouzi was waiting at the gate of the city early in the morning.

"Master, you are finally here!"

Zhang Gouzi said excitedly.

Greet the two of them to the best and best restaurant in Xiangyang Mansion.

"Master, we have been waiting for you here for several days, and Mr. Zhu has been waiting here too, but his family just happened to go back today and will come over in the evening."

"That Mr. Zhu is generous and straightforward. I feel very good. He heard that you are coming these few days, and he has been waiting here for a long time. He also opened a good hotel room for us. And I heard that he opened two cloth rooms. The store is just a mediocre business, and he also wants to be a grain store like ours, but he feels that he is not too innovative in terms of operation, and he is very interested in seeing our store."

"Besides, he said that he is a student who is preparing for a scientific examination, and he doesn't have too much energy on the business, but he has someone under him who can help look after the store, and we have the final say on how to manage it. He is very fond of Xiangyang Prefecture, including the counties and counties below. Familiar with."

Zhang Gouzi said excitedly.

This kid is smart and pure, and he understands what kind of partner Qin Shao wants to cooperate with.

Qin Shao was very interested when he heard this. What he needs now is the way of franchising. They are in charge of business methods and supply channels, and they open branches in various places. Of course, they need a partner like Zhu Gongzi, who is indeed a store manager partner.

If this person is really so capable, it would be no problem to share more.

Because I rode all the way here, I was slightly tired.

After lunch, Qin Shao and Wang Yin rested in their room.

Around dusk, Qin Shao woke up in a daze when he heard Zhang Gouzi and Wang Yin talking outside.

"Grandpa, are you awake?"

Hearing his noise, Zhang Gouzi knocked on the door outside.

Qin Shao let them in.

"Master, Mr. Zhu is back. Knowing that you have worked hard just now, I asked the boy to come over and say that we will have a banquet in the opposite restaurant tonight. He is probably already waiting there by now."

Zhang Gouzi came in and said.

"Well, I'll go there after I wash up, and you guys clean up too."

Qin Shao ordered them to prepare, and he quickly washed himself.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Er greeted upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a clear-eyed man in white came out of the stairwell with a managerial appearance.

Qin Shao looked up, feeling that this person looked familiar.

"Master, this person seems to be..."

Wang Yin looked surprised, and said directly to Qin Shao.
