wealthy queen

The Jiulipu charity site, Xie Yan and others are not mediocre. During the month or so since Shen Liang left, the operation of the charity site is still going on in an orderly manner. Kai Xieyan and the others completely put aside the issue of personal face. While giving alms, they visited the big and small merchants in the imperial city one by one, and introduced those young and strong or skilled people to go to work. In just a few months, they have helped Many refugees have found jobs, but the number of refugees is still quite large. After all, the imperial court is not strong enough, and their strength is still too limited with just a few of them.

Even so, their good reputation still spread throughout the country. Except for Shen Liang, the other four of the five twins were unmarried, and they became the hottest figures in the imperial city for a while, whether it was a military family, a princely family, or It is the royal family, many people want to marry them back, but unfortunately, as Shen Liang expected at the beginning, the emperor is afraid of their reputation, and it is impossible to give those people a chance.

"It's Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen is here."

Accompanied by the cheers of the refugees, the carriage of the Hou Mansion stopped at the door of the charity site, and Shen Liang, who was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, appeared in everyone's sight. Xie Yan and others, who had known he was coming for a long time, quickly put down their hands Jobs went up to meet them, but they didn't squeeze into the crowd, but stood outside the crowd and watched Shen Liang greet the refugees one by one, accepting the friendly and grateful greetings from the refugees.

"You are still willing to show up, I thought you were going to quit."

When he came in front of them, it was almost after a stick of incense. Xiang Zhuo punched his shoulder angrily with his fists. God knows how worried they were when they learned that he had gone to the Northwest. On the real battlefield, he is a pair, is he really desperate?After finally waiting for him to come back, something like that happened in the Hou Mansion. They were always worried, for fear that he would not be able to bear that kind of blow.

But seeing him smiling and talking now, basically the same as before, they felt relieved.

"I want to quit, do you allow me?"

After seeing them one by one with a smile, Shen Liang couldn't help joking.

"Think beautifully!"

The four of them rejected him with one voice, the five teenagers laughed unanimously, and handed over the matter of giving to the servants. They entered the small courtyard behind the shop together, and Xiang Zhuo couldn't wait to ask: "Liang Liang, is Huo Shuai really the best?" Shuang'er, and already married to your elder brother?"

They are also curious about the affairs of the Hou's mansion, but they don't know how to ask, but the matter of Huo Yelin is making a lot of noise now, and as a twin, they adore him very much.

"Then can there be leave? Their child is almost one year old. Originally, my sister-in-law wanted to come with me, but something happened at home and he couldn't come. You should be able to see him next time."

"What? All the children?"

No one paid attention to what he said later, the four of them were all shocked by the fact that Shen Da Huo Yelin had a child, there was no rumor about it outside, no, I can't say no, it's just compared to other The matter was not so sensational, and most people thought it was fabricated by the common people.

"I said, what about you? And you little Zhuozi, haven't you met my little nephew?"

Shen Liang covered her mouth and laughed, the other three looked at Xiao Zhuozi in unison, but Xiao Zhuozi himself was in a daze: "When did you meet? Why don't I know?"

Xiang Zhuo searched through his memory but couldn't find any fragments of seeing that child. He seriously suspected that Shen Liang was fooling people again.

"Isn't that the child you saw last time when you came to the Academy of Ascension?"

"I'll go... Isn't he an abandoned child you adopted?"

Xiang Zhuo jumped up excitedly. Everyone here knew about his adoption of an abandoned child, but they never dreamed that it was not an abandoned child, but the descendant of Huo Yelin, the god of war, and Shen Da, the general of hussars. Eldest son, this is too... unbelievable.

"Based on my situation at the time, do you think I dare to say that it is my brother's son?"

He sighed helplessly, and his cold smile exaggerated a little sarcasm. At that time, he had just returned, and nothing could be guaranteed. Even now, if his brother and the others had not returned, he would not be able to announce the identity of Youer. The son is clean, and their enemies have not decreased at all, especially the one in the palace, who knows if he will suddenly go crazy and plot some disgusting tricks behind his back, he is the emperor after all, and his background is definitely not ordinary dignitaries They can compare, and on the surface, they can't easily offend him.

After what he said, the four of them fell silent one after another. Indeed, if it hadn't been for the recent explosions, they wouldn't have known that the backyard of Dongling Marquis Mansion was so complicated, and they were suffering too much. Living in such a place, even if they were not wolves, they would become Become a wolf, otherwise sooner or later, there will be no bones left.

"Don't talk about me. During the month I left, nothing happened in the shop, right?"

After a while, Shen Liang reopened a new topic, and the few people tacitly stopped mentioning it, and briefly told him about the things in the shop. Qing and Huaiyang Hou Shizi Jing Xiran resolved it, Xinke Tanhua Fu Yunxi also contributed a little bit, plus the power of their respective families, ordinary people dare not be too jealous.

In the past month, they have found work for more than 2000 people. Because of their good reputation, the venue is also very large, and more and more merchants donate money and materials. Now they donate [-] porridge every day At [-]:[-], the distribution of bamboo tokens will begin the afternoon before, and the number of people who donate has grown from a dozen to hundreds. When they are too busy, some refugees will take the initiative to help them clean up the aftermath, and everything is in order , It's just that the three pavements are gradually not enough.

"If you want to buy a storefront, you have to be willing to sell it to the merchants next door or across the street."

Shen Liang couldn't help but look a little dignified when he heard that. The shop next door to them sells groceries, and the price is not expensive. The boss is also enthusiastic. The business has always been good. They probably won't sell them. It seems that the shops on the opposite side have never heard of selling them. .

"The shopkeeper next door said that he doesn't sell the shop, but he can exchange it with us. The premise is that the shop must be in Jiulipu, and he doesn't want to lose old customers. It's not difficult. Many people can't do business now, Jiuli There are quite a lot of people who want to sell the shop. The problem is that the price is not cheap. Let’s take the few shops opposite us as an example. Their business is not very good. The shopkeeper also said that the price is right and the shop can be transferred, but they offered The price is too high, and we don’t want to pay even a penny less, even if we have money, we can’t spend it like that.”

Xie Yan said with a headache on his forehead, seeing their venue getting bigger and bigger, it is really inconvenient if the place is too small.

"How tall is it?"

"Generally, a shop like this costs 6000 taels, and they charge 2 taels per mouth. Isn't it robbing people?"

Wei Tan, who was in charge of the money, had a look of displeasure. With 2 taels, they could buy several shops, and those few people clearly set the price on the ground on purpose.

"2 taels."

Shen Liang lowered her eyes and murmured in a low voice, 2 taels is indeed too outrageous, but...

"Which ones are you talking about?"

"Which ones are there? Isn't it the three that are face to face with us?"

Even if they are not in charge of managing money, Yang Tianyu and Xiang Zhuo are still unhappy in various ways. Those people are simply too wicked and greedy. They can understand that they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, but they can't be too outrageous. I can accept it, but 1 taels, thanks to them having the face to say, is it true that they are stupid and have a lot of money?

"Um……"

After pondering for a while, Shen Liang snapped out Lei Zhen: "Go to the shop across the street and ask. There are ten shops in a row, which ones are willing to sell or exchange, and what are the asking prices."

"Ah."

Lei Zhen turned around and left with big strides, everyone asked doubtfully, "What do you want to do?"

"You will find out later, by the way, Wei Tan, how much money is there in our account that can be used at any time?"

With a mysterious smile, Shen Liang turned to look at Wei Tan who was sitting diagonally across from him, the latter thought for a while before saying: "I just paid a month's deposit of rice grain to Murong's family, plus other expenses , the maximum amount of money that can be embezzled at any time on the books does not exceed 20 taels."

They have received a lot of donations, but their daily expenses are also extremely huge. There is a lot of surplus in the clothes shop, but the money is used to buy rough linen and linen clothes for refugees. Not too much, it will be different when it gets colder. From now on, they are already ordering a lot of cotton clothes and quilts. The money must never be used, and maybe some of it needs to be transferred from the donation.

"Well, it's enough, but we can't just wait for others to donate, we also have to find a few lucrative deals."

After he said it, everyone fell silent again. They had already thought about this matter. The question is, how can the business be so easy now?If they lose money, it will be even more difficult for them.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

After a while, Xie Yan raised his head and looked at Shen Liang. Although they have learned a lot during this time, they are really not good at doing business.

Shen Liang didn't answer right away, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We must ensure a profit in the business. Basically, there is no business that can make a profit without losing money, but I think there is one thing that may be done."

"Oh? What what?"

Hearing this, all four of them became interested, and Shen Liang looked at them amusedly: "It's like this, now that the disaster has just passed, many villages outside the city can't sustain themselves, and there are plenty of people selling them, so we might as well take the opportunity to make more money." Collect a few crops. Most of the refugees outside are born farmers, and they must be good at growing crops. In this way, we can not only have a long-term and stable income, but also solve the food and clothing of more refugees. What do you think?"

Most of the Zhuangzi outside the imperial city are in the hands of the rich and powerful, and a very small part belongs to the rich. In the past, once they heard that someone wanted to sell Zhuangzi, I am afraid that a large number of people would ask for it with silver tickets, but now it is different. The torrential rain has washed away the confidence of many people, and some people are eager to cash out. This is the best time, and the purchase price can be kept as low as possible. In the long run, it is much more cost-effective than buying a shop.

"It's so good, but who can guarantee that there will be no more rain or other disasters in the future? Those who are eager to sell Zhuangzi are also so scrupulous. Otherwise, Zhuangzi near the imperial city would not be so easy to buy." ? It has already been acquired by the major families."

The four looked at each other, Xie Yan frowned and said, if another disaster happened, they might lose everything.
