Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"Boss, I have something to say. Does Shopkeeper Sun have the right to inspect the account books in the future?"

……

"Boss, I want to know if our business content needs to be changed? Is there anything that needs to involve shopkeeper Sun?"

……

"Boss, how often do you come back, and do you still collect accounts once a quarter as usual?"

……

These shopkeepers are all talented people, so naturally they will not say nothing.

One by one, they rushed to tell the questions they were concerned about, and Su Jing naturally gave detailed answers.

Unknowingly, an hour passed by.

"It seems that everyone has no problem, so let's go here. The place here is small, so I won't let you eat, so you can go back."

Su Jing looked at everyone and said.

There are almost thirty of these people including myself. If we really want to eat in the small courtyard, it will be very crowded.

Besides, Su Jing herself had something to do, so Su Jing didn't even have to be polite.

The shopkeepers said goodbye to Su Jing one by one, and left one by one until Sun Ping.

"My boss, I'm afraid Sun Ping won't be able to do what you arranged. Please give me more details."

Sun Ping said to Su Jing, his words full of sincerity.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Sun Ping, I have nothing more to say. You have to believe in yourself. In fact, your ability is already enough."

"It's just that you're used to asking me about everything and hiding your abilities. Now that I'm gone, it's actually a good thing for you."

The reason why Sun Ping is so appreciated by Su Jing must not only be because of his character. The Su family's business is Su Jing's greatest asset. How can Sun Ping sit in the position of shopkeeper without the ability?
"My boss is ridiculous. Without my boss, there would be no Sun Ping today."

Sun Ping bowed to Su Jing again and thanked her.

Su Jing supported him and said: "Okay, Sun Ping, you can go back too. You are not in the cloth shop today. If Liu Banxian wants to buy silk and satin, he will probably come back in vain. I have promised him to sell him one at the cost price." It’s silky, but you can’t let me be scolded by him.”

In order to prevent Sun Ping from 'pushing' with her here, Su Jing directly moved out of Liu Banxian.

But this is also true. Without Sun Ping, it would be impossible for Liu Banxian to buy a piece of silk at cost price.

Only Sun Ping, the shopkeeper, and his boss can decide this matter.

"Yes, boss, Sun Ping is leaving first."

Sun Ping nodded, and then slowly left the courtyard.

Su Jing let out a breath and said, "It's finally settled. Now there's no need to worry about Lishui County's affairs for the time being."

This is the first time he has held such a meeting in Ming Dynasty, and it will most likely be the last.

It’s tiring to face so many people in charge at the same time!

"It's getting dark again after we have a meeting, so we have to get something to eat."

Su Jing took a look at the sky and found that it was not completely dark yet. After all, it got dark late in the summer.

Su Jing really didn't have the energy to go out to eat. Even though she was just talking in the yard, she was really tired.

Because Su Jing was facing the shopkeepers she had carefully selected, and if she wanted to answer their questions, she couldn't just perfunctoryly answer them.

After rummaging around in the kitchen for a while, Su Jing found a few potatoes, some dried chili peppers and garlic.

There is still some rice in the rice vat. After all, I went to the capital before and didn't expect to move.

Wash the potatoes, peel them and shred them, then pat the garlic cloves and prepare three or four dried chili peppers. The food preparation process is over.

Then it was time to make a fire. A lot of straw was used, but there was still some left.

The firewood in the stove burned, the iron pot was heated, and then rapeseed oil was poured in.

After a while, heat the oil, add chopped garlic cloves and dried chili peppers to the pot, wait for about ten seconds, then add shredded potatoes that have been soaked in water and drained.

There was a sizzling sound, which was the sound of shredded potatoes coming into contact with the hot iron pot.

Stir continuously with a shovel, add vinegar, salt, and sugar in turn. When the seasonings are stirred evenly, the shredded potatoes are ready to be cooked.

Just such a simple spicy and sour potato shreds, Su Jing ate it with great relish.

Maybe it’s because I made it myself, or maybe it’s really delicious.

Anyway, it didn't take long for Su Jing to eat everything, two big bowls of rice and a plate of shredded potatoes.

Su Jing, who was full, did not lie down immediately, but immediately washed the pot.

Taking advantage of the residual heat in the stove, you can add some water to get hot water out, which is very convenient for washing pots and dishes.

This is the daily life of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the daily life of Su Jing.

After finishing all this, Su Jing returned to the house. At this moment, the sky was completely dark.

"Go to sleep and do it again tomorrow!"

Although according to the 24-hour clock, it was only about seven or eight o'clock at this time, but Su Jing was really tired.

Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow.

……

In the capital, the affairs of Uncle Renyuan's Mansion are becoming more and more famous.

Such a big house can almost rival the Duke's Mansion.

In this way, some disharmonious sounds will naturally appear.

The Ministry of Rites, as the department in charge of regulating the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, should have been the first to speak out.

However, there was little or no movement from the Ministry of Rites.

Today, the Minister of Rites is already a family treasure.

Although Shi Jiabao has not met Su Jing yet, he has already suffered a loss in Su Jing's matter. At that time, he was still the Minister of Rites.

Now, Shijiabao will definitely not be a standout.

Su Jing's Renyuanbo Mansion was a reward from Zhu Yuanzhang. In terms of regulations, he didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang had not considered it.

Anyway, his main focus is on His Majesty. If he doesn’t mention it, he just pretends that he doesn’t know.

As for some of his colleagues who urged him to submit letters and memorials, he all agreed with righteous words, but he only said it without practice, and just pushed back.

In Kunning Palace, it was time for Lao Zhu and his wife, Queen Ma, to talk at night again.

"Sister, these ministers are really tolerant!"

Zhu Yuanzhang soaked his feet and said: "Everyone obviously has opinions about Su Jing's mansion, but they just hold it back and don't write a letter."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Don't you dare to be the first to do so? After all, this mansion is a reward from the emperor Chongba."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "It's too boring. We just wanted to see who has a big opinion against Su Jing, but in the end, everyone is afraid of doing this."

If all the officials heard this, they would probably slander Lao Zhu in their hearts.

Good guy, you, the emperor, are just digging holes for us to jump into.

Empress Ma looked at Lao Zhu and said, "You said you would give Mr. Su a house, but that's not clear. If you want to use this matter to plot against all the officials, you are too scheming!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately explained: "Sister, what you said is wrong. We are not doing it for ourselves. We are just trying to help Su Jing distinguish friends and foes in the court." Empress Ma rolled her eyes. Lao Zhu said: "You are just trying to coax me. Mr. Su's ability requires you to do more of these things?"

Queen Ma knows Lao Zhu's thoughts best.

If it was just for such a simple thing, there would be no need to do this.

"hey-hey!"

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Isn't it convenient for us? There is no harm in it. Didn't we see it this time? The officials are too timid."

Lao Zhu is always very keen on how to better control officials.

Queen Ma said: "Okay, I don't care about these things. Mr. Su will return to Lishui County this time. Nothing will happen, right?"

Lao Zhu is in charge of the affairs of the officials, but Su Jing is no longer among the officials. Empress Ma is always very concerned about it.

"That's definitely not the case. We received the report during dinner. Everything went well. I think Su Jing will be able to return tomorrow night."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied immediately.

"Oh, I'll be back tomorrow night. Mr. Su is quite fast this time."

Queen Ma looked surprised, obviously very surprised.

She knew very well that Su Jing did not want to live in the capital, and Su Jing's temperament did not like to be restrained.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said: "Su Jing finally figured it out. It's great to be in the capital. It's convenient to do anything."

"But we just learned that Su Jing actually has 26 shops in Lishui County. If he continues to stay in Lishui County, I am afraid that in a few years, the entire Lishui County will be his."

Of course, Lao Zhu knew about Su Jing's meeting with his bosses at about the same time.

There are 26 shops, each one is very big.

Queen Ma said: "Mr. Su is not that kind of person. He knows how to advance and retreat much better than the average person. 26 shops is not Mr. Su's limit, but this much is enough."

Su Jing has shown considerable restraint in many matters.

Queen Ma naturally understood, and Su Jing understood that anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

If it weren't for the accidental acquaintance between Lao Zhu and Su Jing, Su Jing would still be an unknown wealthy man in Lishui County.

"Sister, you think too highly of Su Jing. This guy is very good at business, but no matter how good he is at business, how can he compare to being an official?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously and said: "He just hasn't understood it all the time. He just wants to hang out and eat and drink all day long. Isn't this a waste of his talents?"

Although Lao Zhu no longer forced Su Jing to become an official, his obsession did not dissipate.

Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said nothing for Su Jing.

After all, forcing a founding emperor to understand contentment is really embarrassing for him.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Su brought a fortune teller with him when he entered the palace, right?"

Queen Ma asked casually. The couple talked at night, basically talking about whatever came to mind.

Lao Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, his name is Liu Banxian, he is just a charlatan."

"Anyone who can bring Mr. Su to the palace to see you personally must have some skills."

Queen Ma said: "I don't know why Mr. Su brought him into the palace. He couldn't be telling your fortune, Chongba, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "How can Su Jing believe in fortune telling? Sister, do you think there is anyone in the world who can tell fortunes better than him?"

"You're right. Mr. Su is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the past and present. He is able to calculate inexhaustible strategies. He is no longer telling fortunes, but knowing destiny. He really doesn't believe in fortune tellers."

Queen Ma nodded and agreed.

Su Jing has shown too many predictions about the future before, just fortune telling, but here, Su Jing should be nothing.

"Then why did Mr. Su bring Liu Banxian here?"

Queen Ma asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Actually, it's a small matter. Sister, do you still remember when we were confronting Chen Youliang ten years ago? Didn't a fortune teller come to my house at that time? He said he told me a fortune, no? We should continue to fight for the world and so on."

When Empress Ma heard this, she immediately nodded and said: "Of course I remember, in fact, this fortune teller was created by Chen Youliang to confuse people with threats and inducements. Originally, you wanted to kill the fortune teller directly, but I persuaded you and let you go. "

After saying this, Empress Ma immediately reacted: "Is this Liu Banxian the fortune teller back then?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled: "Not bad."

"I see. Then I'm somewhat interested in Liu Banxian. I can get Mr. Su to come forward in person."

Queen Ma showed some curiosity.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, this is simple. Liu Banxian also went back with Su Jing this time, but he will still come back together. He will be in the capital then. You can meet him whenever you want."

Lao Zhu is now very clear about all the situations of the people around Su Jing.

Empress Ma said: "It's just right. If we find a chance to meet him then, we might get something unexpected."

Zhu Yuanzhang's feet were almost soaked, so he stood up and said, "Sister, it's getting late. You should rest first and let's read some books."

Although he is busy with government affairs all day long, Lao Zhu never stops studying and is quite self-disciplined.

Reading has become his habit.

Queen Ma nodded and said, "Well, Chongba, you should also go to bed early."

Queen Ma naturally supported Lao Zhu's move of self-improvement.

As an emperor, you can be uneducated when conquering the world, but you cannot be without a desire to learn and make progress.

……

Time flies, Su Jing got up early the next day and quickly started packing her things.

But at noon, Liu Banxian had already arrived at Su Jing's home with a smile.

I saw him carrying a package on his back and holding a piece of wrapped silk in his hand, with a look of excitement on his face.

"Master Su, I'm ready and ready to go at any time."

At this moment, Liu Banxian seemed impatient.

Leaving Lishui County and heading to the capital was a major decision in his life.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Liu Banxian, is this the only way you salute?"

In the house, Su Jing had five large boxes, each of which was filled to the brim.

Compared with Liu Banxian's two packages, that was a lot more.

Liu Banxian said calmly: "I, Liu Banxian, have always been light-hearted and simple. If I have to do so many rituals, wouldn't it be a drag on myself?"

Su Jing shook her head slightly and said: "Then you have enough money. After this trip, it will not be so easy to hitchhike with me again."

"Don't worry, Mr. Su, I won't starve to death. Besides, when there is really no other way, I still have you, Mr. Su."

Liu Banxian said matter-of-factly.

If he hadn't met Su Jing, he wouldn't have had the courage to settle in the capital.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Liu Banxian, I'm a businessman. If you ask me for help, you have to pay for it. Can you do it with your old bones?"

Liu Banxian's face changed slightly and he said: "Mr. Su, are you and I too different from each other?" (End of Chapter)
