Song Wen sat on the stone pier and looked at the dozen beggars in front of him with a smile. Each of these guys had a sly look on their face, but their faces were full of shrewdness and cunning.
It is not easy for these helpless little guys to struggle to survive in this world. Song Wen asked the little Fuzi who wandered around the street to find these little beggars. This was his first time in the Bianliang market of the Song Dynasty.
Exploring the tender tentacles.
The benefits are indispensable, and the sense of ritual is even more indispensable. Who cares about this the most in this era!
Each person was given a pair of brand-new cloth shoes, an old jacket, and ten copper coins. In addition, each little beggar had a bowl of shochu mixed with water in front of him... It must not be mixed with water, otherwise Song Wen was afraid that he would drink it down on the spot.
More than half!
"Everyone, drink this bowl of wine! I will be your brother! From now on, I will take care of your food, clothing, and warmth! Are you willing?"
"I'm willing!"
How had all the young men seen such a scene and such a handiwork? All of them were flushed with excitement.
"Brothers, after drinking this bowl of wine, you will be my Song Wen's people from now on. I don't ask you to kill people and set fires to do illegal things, but you must be loyal to Sihai Winery to inquire about news and spread news every day, no matter the wind or rain.
You must work diligently and conscientiously! Can you do it?"
"I can do it!"
Are you kidding me? They have food, drink and clothes. Song Wen also gave money to the Chenghuang Temple at the end of the street. From now on, everyone will have a fixed place to stay that is protected from wind and rain... Where can I find such a good thing?
Gudong, gudong... bang, bang, bang! Everyone drank and then smashed the seventeen rough porcelain hat bowls to the ground. The sixteen little beggars knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and said: "From now on, we will all obey my brother's orders!"
From now on, we will be brother’s people…”
Song Wen helped up a leading beggar. This little guy had saved Xiao Fuzi's life back then. He didn't have a surname and was usually called Gray Quail. Song Wen gave him a name, An Chun... He would also be called An Chun from now on.
Not too abrupt.
"Xiao Anzi, early tomorrow morning, you will go to various places in Bianliang to spread the news and build momentum... It is said that Gaoyang Zhengdian, the oldest brand in Bianliang, and Sihai Winery are going to compete with Baifanlou and Panlou over their new brewing water.
Let’s compete! In addition, Sihai Liquor House also offered a reward of ten guan to fight in the ring. If you buy three bottles of spirits and drink them all in public without falling drunk, you will immediately receive a reward of ten guan!”
"Three bottles? Brother, then...how can it be such a good thing?"
"Don't think wrongly, if anyone can drink my three bottles of Huoshachun without falling to the ground, I will pluck off his head! What you just drank was mixed with water..."
"Young man, take your orders, let's go out and spread the news tonight..."
Song Wen took out a large pile of yellow paper with printed words from his clothes... "And this, there are rewards for the news about these two things on it. It can be found in major teahouses, restaurants, inns, markets and the like.
Just post it and distribute it if you can... In the past two days, I have to distribute a thousand pieces of this paper to me!"
"Ah? That's so much. How much does it cost in copper coins... It's such a big deal. Can I definitely win?"
Song Wen patted the young man on the head: "You don't have to worry about this, remember... Once this battle is won, Sihai Winery will be able to stand! I will completely take care of the future for you people."
Now! Those who are smart can read and read, and those who are strong can work in wineries and workshops... As long as you stick with me, I will take care of you until you get married and start a business!"
The little beggars all around looked at Song Wen's solemn eyes and suddenly fell silent... Then An Chun took the lead, and all the teenagers knelt down!
"Master, please bow to me!"
In the Song Dynasty, there was a huge difference between promising to give people a job to survive and promising to start a family and take care of food and clothing for a lifetime!
This is equivalent to taking in domestic slaves and retainers! Song Wen didn't know that in this feudal society, this kind of commitment was very heavy.
Song Wen was silent for a moment, thinking in his mind... In the past, he only had his responsibility to the little green slave, and his unwillingness to face real life and the coming troubled times! But if he really moved forward... the people around him would definitely
There will be more and more.
For example, Lin Chong, who has a simple personality, An Daoquan, who has become more and more friendly with each other! Li Yan, who is warm-hearted and chivalrous in ancient times, and even Zhao Shenyan, a playboy who is close to and trusts her inexplicably!
Nowadays, there are these little beggars who are miserable and helpless...
Do you really have to take on these responsibilities? Can you really do it?
Song Wen suddenly raised his hands and bowed on his left chest, and said in a deep voice: "Song Wen also came from a poor background, but I only believe in one thing! It is not difficult to move mountains and fill seas with the power of your heart.
!Everyone who voted for me today should work together to contribute to Sihai Winery. If you don’t let me down, I will not let you down! In the future, we will still be prosperous and wealthy, and we will never abandon anyone!"
"We all obey the master's arrangements!"
Song Wen waved his hand: "Get up, don't call me master in the future! You can call me brother, brother Wen, we still have a long way to go! We first took the money to buy some food, and went to the Chenghuang Temple to settle down... I have already called someone
Go buy some bedding, and you will stay at the Chenghuang Temple first, and I will find another good place for you later."
"Thank you, brother!" "Thank you, brother, for the reward!"
Inexplicably, and naturally, Song Wen, who had fallen into the market, began to take the first step towards the big stage among the untouchables in the market... The six teenagers Li Yan accepted, plus the ten that Song Wen accepted today
Six little beggars. A very shabby group, but every boy has light in his eyes! They are eager to get rid of this lowly status and miserable life, they are eager to be recognized by others, and they are eager to be tolerated and protected by others!
Song Wen felt that he seemed to be walking on a small road. It was muddy and difficult under his feet, but the future was bright and bright! Haha... After all, many years later, someone made the world's rich and powerful understand a truth... The poor and lowly people stayed together for warmth, and it really was possible to reopen.
Of heaven and earth!
At the back door of Sihai Winery, the little beggars who came out chattering with rewards and hopes fell into the eyes of a man wearing a bamboo hat.
Li Yan frowned and stood under the shadow of the big tree, thinking for a moment...then smiled, this little turtle... is really magical, it is not surprising that he has such methods! If he is allowed to continue to operate like this, I am afraid that
It won't take a few years for Bianliang to have a wealthy businessman with vast hands and eyes, and a wealthy family, right?
But after all, the Song Dynasty was still a world of civil servants and powerful people. If you don't support a few scholars and officials with gold medals... you will not be in the mainstream after all!
Under the big tree in the backyard of the wine shop, Li Yan folded her arms and asked Song Wen who was sitting opposite: "Although you have a few hundred strings, it is not a big fortune after all. You are so squandering to create momentum... If you lose the wine fight, won't you lose all your money?"
Returning? Zhao Shenyan's house is okay... I can show off my old face to help you delay the remaining few houses. Do you dare to accept the stock money from Gao Yanei? How can he spare you if you lose everything? "
Song Wen chuckled: "As a little turtle, am I still afraid of these things?"
"You...well, are you really sure?"
"You have drank twenty or thirty bottles of Huo Shaochun. What do you think?"
"It's getting better and better, and it's no less than any other fine wine in the Song Dynasty... But if we say it's the best in the world, that's open to question!"
Song Wen chuckled and said: "Of course I can't guarantee victory against world-famous old wines like Lamb Wine! But I asked Shopkeeper Meng to write clearly in his letter of challenge... This time we are competing against new wines! And...
...The title is also the best liquor in the world! How about it?"
