Raising children in an ancient county

"Daddy, cry... ashamed..." Xiao Changle woke up, seeing her father with swollen eyes, red nose, tilting her head in shame.

"I'm not ashamed. Daddy didn't cry when he was spanked. Only you cry when he is spanked. Daddy cries happily~" Qiao Shen was in a good mood for this brat, and decided not to care about his son.

"Ah?" Xiao Chang was stunned. Did he cry when he wasn't being spanked?

"Ah, what, if you have the ability, you cry when you eat, snack food." Qiao was deeply unconvinced, and every time the meal was served, the kid would smile happily.

Qi Shuo drove into Xizhen, found a shopkeeper and paid for the carriage, picked up Xiao Changle, led Qiao Shen, and walked on the streets of Xizhen.

Although Shoulan Town is divided into east and west towns, the east town is located in the outskirts, so most of the nearby villagers go to the market, while the west town is located in the center of the city, with towns in all directions, bustling with people coming and going.

The family of three entered Piaoxiang Wine in Xizhen. After the dishes were served, the two adults chatted and ate. They were sitting in the corner of the hall. It was time for dinner, and there were guests at the next table.

"Have you heard that the alley on the west side of the bridge is going to be expanded, and the above pointed out that Master Lin should come to pick it up. I heard that Master Lin and Young Master Lin made a fuss in front of Master Li yesterday."

"What's the use of making a fuss? Master Lin dares to earn any kind of silver. If he doesn't take it out, his house might be buried in silver."

"This is not such a method of digging. The alley in the west of the bridge is remote, beggars gather, and it is deserted. I'm afraid it's not digging for money, but throwing away a lot of money."

"What do you think this official lord thinks? Why don't we let a lot of money fall on us, and whoever finds it will get it. Isn't it a good thing?"

"Hahaha, you are not afraid of being hurt by that silver..."

Qi Shuo's heart moved, and he called the waiter to ask about Xiaqiao West Alley. The place to eat is the most crowded, and the waiter really knows a lot.

Master Lin is a wealthy family. Master Lin has been very smart since he was a child. After he took charge of the family, he opened Lin Fuji all over the land of Dazhou.Who wouldn't be envious of being so rich?

Generally speaking, if you have money, you want power.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when people had money, they found ways to do so. They used the money to buy letters of recommendation and seek official positions in one party. If things went well, three generations of descendants would be officials.

But Mr. Lin didn't, he didn't donate officials to find a job for himself, and he didn't let his family members become officials.The big corrupt officials couldn't make money from him, so they tried every means to force him to pay, big and small, a lot, but they were not satisfied.

So I thought of this one, expand the land.

This alley to the west of the bridge is remote and deserted. This is a sure loss-making business. Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Lin, his father has had a stroke.

Ever since Qi Shuo heard Qiao Shen's 'model house' remarks, he has been having some indescribable thoughts in his heart.Until you hear the extension.Only then did he know that his thoughts were: he wanted to build a furniture city, with model houses of all kinds and styles, one by one in the form of shops, covering a street.

After getting along for a long time, Qiao Shen popped up some modern ideas from time to time, and seeing Qi Shuo's high acceptance, he expressed it more unscrupulously, and Qi Shuo was subtly influenced.

The two found an inn to stay, discussed for a whole night, and decided to prepare a generous gift tomorrow and visit Lin's residence.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.Little Changle curled up in Qiao Shen's arms and slept peacefully. A small hand stretched out, penetrated into Qiao Shen's clothes, and stuck tightly to Qiao Shen's waist. Touching his father's abs, my son loves to touch my belly, two full-blown abdominophiles.

Thinking of Qi Shuo's idea of ​​building a furniture city, he definitely supports it, but the money saved to buy a house and build a mansion will inevitably be embezzled, ah, his kang, his independent bathroom, are gone.

The next day, Lin Fu.

"It's really a coincidence that the master is seriously ill. The young master ordered no visitors. Please go back." It was the butler of Lin's residence who spoke.

Qiao Shen thought about it, and he still tried to fight for it, "Please help the housekeeper to pass it on. I have a plan, and there is a turning point in Qiaoxi Alley."

After waiting again, Butler Lin came to them for the second time, "Master, please."

……

After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Qiao Shen said, "Young Master Lin thinks it's feasible? The official order has come down, and you have to do it if you don't do it. If that's the case, it's better to discuss how to do it."

Eldest Young Master Lin sat in the main seat, looking at the two big ones and one young one sitting below, well dressed, they may not be rich or wealthy, but one has a face like a crown of jade, and the other is tall and mighty, both of them have extraordinary bearing.Turning his eyes back, he repeated the strategy Qiao Shen had said before: "Split the alley up and sell it? There is not even a single piece of tile in the west bridge alley, so who would buy it? Could it be that you are making fun of my Lin family?"

Qiao Shen didn't know how to explain it to Young Master Lin, this is called attracting investors, "It can also be understood as selling, for example, I bought five shops and five yards, and it would cost ten thousand taels of silver to buy and build them, but I build it myself, and it only costs a thousand taels. Who would refuse this deal?"

"To put it lightly, the alley to the west of the bridge is deserted and far away from the market. Those who have money will not come to build it, and those who have no money will not be able to build it. How can we talk about business?"

"This is even simpler. You want to build a Lin Fu Ji in the alley in the west of the city, and invite friends from aristocratic families to open a Fu Man Lou. The Lin Mansion is a famous family with a wide circle of friends, so there is more than one Fu Man Lou? It's just a shop, even if you sell Lin Fu For the face of the government, the governments are also willing."

Seeing Young Master Lin's expression of understanding, Qiao Shen continued: "If this shop can be solved, the alley will be easier to manage. The business must be done by people. Since there are people gathering and food and clothing are available, don't worry. Do you have to live?"

After the discussion, Eldest Young Master Lin immediately relieved himself of all the burdens and invited Qiao Shen's family to live in the mansion, "Brother Qiao's plan won my heart. I asked Lin Bo to tidy up the quiet courtyard and come out. Why don't we just stay at the mansion?"

Qiao Shen and Qi Shuo made eye contact before answering, mainly for the convenience of discussing matters, besides, it is indeed inconvenient to stay in a hotel in winter with Xiao Changle.

In the next three days, Young Master Lin took Qi Shuo Qiaoshen to visit various houses in Xizhen, and the couple also met many merchants because of this, which can be regarded as opening up contacts in Xizhen.

In the end, Qiaoxi Alley was divided into seven merchants to jointly undertake it. Among them, Qiao Shen and Qi Shuo bought six shops and built a mansion.

In order to express his gratitude, Young Master Lin directly gave an empty shop in his hand, and asked Qiao Shen to open Qiao Ji's Lo-Mei, and take it back when Qiaoxi was finished.

Sitting in the carriage at home, Qiao Shen was still regretting, "Why don't we sell the yard first, what a great opportunity, and only build 6 shops, which is too far away from the goal of furniture city."

Qi Shuo looked at Qiao Shen with a wry smile, he was really childish, he didn't have the grand manner of talking in the Lin Mansion before, he persuaded: "Don't be in a hurry, besides Xizhen, there will be Qiaoxi in other places." Land Vast, the world is so big, how can there be only one bridge west?

"That's right, it's better to play steadily."

After returning to Dongzhen, Qi Shuo was busy driving again. In the few days he was away, the junior brother took over a lot of business.

Once Qi Shuo thought about it, he invited a few brothers with solid knowledge to help him make the furniture. Qi Shuo would share [-]% of the money if he checked the quality.Thirty percent was too much, Qi Shuo produced wood, tools, and styles, and they just copied it. The business was in a downturn, and Qi Shuo also gave them a chance to earn more money.
