Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 129 Partnership
Chai Liang was not surprised by her words, but he was a little disdainful, "One runs a small restaurant and the other runs a food workshop. You two are exhausted in a year and only earn a few hundred taels. Forget it!" I don’t want to get involved in this kind of petty business.”

Feng Chengcheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Qing say something again.

"Master Chai, you have to take a long-term view! There is a saying that a small investment brings a big return. Since you don't want to contribute the principal anyway, you are reaping the benefits even though our total annual net profit is only a few dollars. One hundred taels, if I have your share, wouldn’t it be possible to divide it into two or three hundred taels? That’s a lot, right?”

Even 200 taels was really a lot for Chai Liang.

His monthly salary from the yamen was only two or three taels.

This number has its ups and downs. If the elder's income is less, their monthly payment will be less. If it is more, it may not be more.

They usually have another source of income, which is gifts from shops on the street.

But they are all given to the big catcher. Small servants like them can only give them some favors when they meet people who come to do things.

Seeing that Chai Liang was a little moved, she added: "I was just a small peasant girl farming, but I didn't have the opportunity to show off my skills. If I had the opportunity, I would make a fortune if I didn't believe it. If you don't believe me, ask shopkeeper Feng."

Feng Chengcheng felt like he was being put on a frying pan, "Well, that's true." He regretted why he praised Shen Qing so harshly before, so much so that now he couldn't even think that Shen Qing was deceiving people.

Of course Chai Liang would not believe her just because of her words, "Then you should do something first and show it to me. If I think you have a future, it will not be too late to cooperate with you."

Shen Qing nodded, "This is natural." Now I am begging you. When I have the capital, you are the one begging me. After all, there is a brother-in-law in charge here!
Chai Liang obviously thought about this too, and had to give her a nod, "The person who came with me is called Sun Ping. He is our Lord's brother-in-law. He has many hobbies in his life, but his favorites are women and money, and... he is very... Love so much!”

He can tell Sun Ping's shortcomings, which shows that he also wants to get rid of Sun Ping and is not afraid of him. Anyway, the two opposite are just small characters. They can't even see the face of the county magistrate, let alone mention him. He had filed a complaint, and besides, he could seal the restaurant down just by raising his hand, so what was there to fear?
But he can't do it.

Feng Chengcheng felt that it was really cold today. His legs were shaking, and at the same time he was wailing in his heart: He doesn't want to know about the infighting in your yamen at all!
Feng Chengcheng glanced at Shen Qing and found that this girl was not only bold, but also spoke louder, "As long as you are a person, you will have your own preferences. I understand what Mr. Chai means. Don't worry, there is no day in the sky, and no one should have it." Erxin, from now on the three of us will be a partnership, and the money we earn will be in triplicate, and this is my meeting gift for you, sir."

What she took out was a jewelry box, and she opened it in front of Chai Liang. Inside was a small lock made of sterling silver.

It's not big, and it's not expensive, but for the three people present, it's not too light.

But what Chai Liang was thinking was that this little girl looked inconspicuous but was generous. If he partnered with her in the future, he would be generous and she would be a trustworthy person.

Chai Liang collected the things, and Shen Qing told him about the Yang family.

Of course this gift cannot be given in vain.After hearing this, Chai Liang slapped the table angrily, "That's unreasonable. The Yang family went too far in deceiving others. Too many people died in this flood. If everyone is like them, trying to extort money, they will definitely If they cause big trouble, don’t worry, I will send someone to Yang’s house early tomorrow morning to capture them.”

Shen Qing quickly stood up and thanked the people, "Your Excellency can be so considerate to the people. It is really a blessing for us and the common people. But there is no need for tomorrow. I have made an appointment with them three days later. Please send someone to come down and replace the little ones." To maintain the scene, as long as they see people from the government, they can't be scared to death. In addition, I have an important matter here that I need to talk to you about. If this matter is solved, then the adults..."

Cai Liang also understood the next words, and he hurriedly signaled Shen Qing to speak quickly.

What Shen Qing wants to talk about is naturally the plague on Maodou and others.

"If the plague spreads, it will be difficult to control. The county magistrate will definitely ask the blame. As for who bears the blame, your Excellency knows clearly. Of course, you can't cover it up blindly. For example, if you start a fire or something, the matter will become big. It's troublesome enough to let others know that it's troublesome to read the doctor's book. It's better to find a doctor as soon as possible and prescribe medicine to treat their illness."

Chai Liang glanced at the little girl opposite him thoughtfully. She was so clever that even the move he just thought of was blocked.

He had really thought about killing all the beggars and burning the corpses cleanly.

Shen Qing coughed twice, "Sir, please don't look at civilian girls like this. This plague must not only be contracted by those in the ruined temple, but it may be contracted in other places as well. It's better to ask the doctors to prepare the corresponding decoction as soon as possible to cure the disease." Curing it is the best strategy, what do you think?"

He said, what did he say?You have said all the words.

Although Chai Liang was unhappy, he quickly figured it out, "I'll do what you said."

After discussing the details with Chai Liang, Feng Chengcheng respectfully sent the people to have a drink.

After all those people were settled, he came over to find Shen Qing.

"How can you be so bold and say that you want to do business with him in partnership? Since ancient times, collusion between government and businessmen has been punishable." Feng Chengcheng's face was as white as paper.

Shen Qing had a relaxed look on his face, "What we are doing is not considered collusion between the government and businessmen, but cooperation at most. With Chai Liang as a backer, there will be no trouble in doing business in this small town in the future. Otherwise, he will only work every day for three days." I'm looking for trouble, can you still run this business? Listen to me, if you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf. You have to be generous when you should be generous." Feng Chengcheng was not afraid of collusion between officials and businessmen, he clearly felt sorry for Qianzi.

Feng Chengcheng sighed and sat next to her, "Having said that, it's too much to give out. If I earn ten taels, I can only get two or three, and I will suffer a loss no matter what." He is a restaurant owner. Yes, the rent of the shop, the wages of the waiters and cooks, these are not just young and old!
Shen Qing comforted him, "That's not how the accounts are settled. Think about it, there are two managers here this time. Even if you don't give out the bonus, can they let you go? That brother-in-law is greedy and lustful. Guy, how can he let go of meat when he sees it? Hum! I’ve never seen a cat that’s not greedy for meat.”

Feng Chengcheng nodded, "In my opinion, although these two people are greedy for money, the Chai Baotou can be more reasonable. As for Sun Ping, he is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones. With his backing, he is Don’t be afraid of heaven and earth, tax collection day is coming soon, and we don’t know what the trouble will be!”
