Zhang San suddenly became a noble of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was the lowest baron, it was a big news in all the villages. As the news spread among the villagers of Zhangjiacun, it quickly spread to several neighboring villages.
"What? Zhang San is now a man from Jianguo County?" Mr. Gou from the next village heard the report of a loser. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.
"Is the news reliable?" Mr. Gou asked in panic with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Yes, yes Mr. Gou, I heard the village chief of Zhangjiacun show off to our village chief, and the people in Zhangjiacun also said the same thing." That henchman was also the one who went to Zhang San's house to stir up trouble last time, and he was also the one at this time.
A look of horror and disbelief.
"It's over. We can't stay here any longer. Let's run away while Zhang San has no time to pay attention to us!" After Master Gou finished speaking, without waiting for his younger brother's reply, he hurried back to pack his things and prepare to escape immediately.
Seeing that his boss was about to run away, this loser also ran home in a panic, preparing to pack up and run away with Master Gou.
…
Zhang San got up very early today and went to the Taoist Temple to visit Cheng Chumo. He was relieved to see that he was recovering well.
In the morning, Murazheng came over and brought another five or six kilograms of maltose and two kilograms of toffee into the city with two other villagers. These two villagers were from the lower line of Murazheng's new development, one was named Zhang Quan and the other was named Zhang Li.
Both of them were well-known in the village for their honest work, so Muramasa took the lead in putting these two people on the list of selling toffee.
Since the personnel power has been handed over to Muramasa, Zhang San naturally has no objection to his development of the bottom line. Every time the goods go through his or his little sister's hands, how much goes out and how much money is taken back is calculated, and now
Now that I have become a member of the nobility, these people will have to pay taxes to me in the future, and they will not dare to have any bad thoughts.
"Third brother, can we pay off the family's debt by selling this batch of candies today?" The younger sister came to Zhang San and asked.
"That's enough. When Muramasa and the others come back, I'll gather the money and pay off the debt tomorrow."
As soon as Zhang San finished speaking, Muramasa came back with the two of them. Because this time they were mainly delivering goods to the two shops in Wannian County, so they came back very early.
"Sir, those two stores are very happy to be our distributors and are very grateful to us."
Muramasa led the two of them into the courtyard and saluted Zhang San and said.
Seeing Muramasa's humble appearance, Zhang San was also sighing. Although Muramasa was very polite to Zhang San because of the toffee incident, he seemed not as humble as he is now.
Zhang Quan and Zhang Li were even more bent over, not daring to look directly at Zhang San.
"Muramasa and the two eldest brothers have worked hard. Come in and have a bowl of water and rest." Zhang San took the money bag handed over by Muramasa and politely let the three of them come in to talk.
After entering the house, Muramasa said that this time, after deducting the 200 cash deposit paid by the two families last time, he received a total of 5 cash and 200 cash.
After Zhang San determined the distributor's strategy last time, he re-set the price. Maltose will be supplied to distributors at 600 cents per catty, and toffee will be supplied to distributors at 900 cents per catty.
After the remaining two people, Zhang San and Muramasa, distributed the money as agreed, Zhang San gave Zhang Quan and Zhang Li 30 cents each as hard work fee. This made the two of them very grateful to Zhang San. They were originally
Those who went to the city to study with Muramasa had no money. Now that they suddenly got so much money, how could they not be happy?
The next day, Zhang San took the three pieces of money and half a catty of maltose that he had prepared, and went to Wannian County with his little sister to thank the drug store owner in person.
Now that the family has money and Zhang San has become a Baron of the Tang Dynasty, the younger sister naturally no longer lives a fearful life like before, and her personality becomes more lively. Naturally, the younger sister is very happy to finally go to the city once.
Zhang San was not very familiar with Wannian County, so he wanted to go with Muramasa. It happened that Muramasa had gone to the fields and had not come back yet. Zhang Sun called his eldest son Zhang Fugui and asked him to follow Zhang San to the county seat.
, and told his son to take good care of the three brothers and sisters Zhang.
In his early years, Zhang Fugui was also drafted to fight in the war. Because of his leg injury, he now has some root causes of the disease and walks a little lamely, but he was lucky enough to return from the battlefield.
When the three of them came to the county town, they first went to the pharmacy called "Changshou Tang".
At this time, there were several well-dressed young men in the drug store who were mysteriously asking an old man with a white beard something.
Zhang San saw those people raising their heads and looking around from time to time while they were talking, as if they were thieves, and immediately laughed in his heart and said: They must be asking about some shady things.
Sure enough, after hearing the descriptions of those gentlemen, the white-bearded doctor immediately stood up angrily: "I don't have the medicine you want here. Go quickly and don't hinder me from consulting other people."
"Old man, why are you so excited? We'll give you more money." A young man in a t-shirt said arrogantly.
"No money, no money. We don't sell that harmful medicine. We want the aphrodisiac to go elsewhere." The old doctor became even more angry when he heard the young man's shouting.
"puff"
Suddenly Zhang San's uncontrollable laughter came from behind. These people looked like they were dressed as scholars, but unexpectedly they were sanctimonious and came here to buy aphrodisiacs.
When he heard that the doctor not only refused to sell it, but also told the story, which caused ridicule from outsiders, the young man was very angry and said to the old doctor: "Believe it or not, I demolished your shop today."
"And you, Tian Shelang, why are you laughing? If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, be careful that I will break your legs."
"As a scholar, you don't cultivate your moral character and do such dirty things. You are not a scholar in vain." Before Zhang San could say anything, the doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointing at the person who spoke arrogantly, and his whole body was shaking.
Zhang San admired this doctor very much. He could have become a doctor, but it was a pity that fate brought him here unexpectedly.
"Old man, do you know who this is? He is Zheng Shide, the second son of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Be careful what you say."
"And you, Tian Shelang, quickly apologize to Mr. Zheng for your rude behavior just now, otherwise..." Zheng Shide's companion threatened Zhang San and others.
"Oh, you forcefully bought aphrodisiacs and you didn't allow people to laugh, right? I just laughed, what can you do to me." Zhang San couldn't stand the arrogance of these people.
"Zhang San, little sister, come here, I think these people dare to tear apart my old bones." The doctor obviously knew the Zhang San brothers and sisters and spoke in defense.
"Doctor Xue, my third brother and I are here to pay you back." My younger sister and Zhang San came to Dr. Xue's side and said.
"Hey, she's still a little beauty!" Zheng Shide saw the little girl hiding behind Zhang San's eyes lit up and said teasingly.
"You..." The little girl's face turned red and she didn't know how to reply.
"A group of libertines, standing here, have polluted the air and smelled bad." Zhang San was very angry when he heard Zheng Shide's frivolous words.
"You, you farm boy, do you believe that I asked Wannian County Magistrate to arrest you?" Zheng Shide saw the disgusted expression on Zhang San's face and flicked the air in front of his nose with his hand. He felt greatly affected.
insult.
"If you have any problems, come to me and ignore their affairs." Doctor Xue stood in front of Zhang San and others and defended.
"Open your eyes and see what this is. If you dare to say nonsense again, I will report you to the Yamen." Zhang San was very grateful when he saw Doctor Xue defending himself in this way. He came to pay the debt today, and he didn't want to pay anything to Doctor Xue.
What trouble.
After saying that, Zhang San showed his goldfish charm to Zheng Shide.
"I am a serious official from the founding county of the Tang Dynasty. You actually called me a farmer. Believe it or not, I will go to the emperor to sue you for slander!" Zhang San waved the goldfish charm and said to several people.
"You... hum, this matter is not over today. Don't think that a little baron can scare me. Just wait and see." Zheng Shide was surprised to see Zhang San turned out to be a baron, but he didn't want to be with his friend.
I lost face in front of me, so I said some harsh words.
A few people ignored what happened today, and they didn't dare to let anyone know about buying aphrodisiacs, otherwise they would definitely be beaten to death by the old man when they went home.
"Zhang San, you, are you a lord now?" Doctor Xue asked Zhang San in surprise when he saw those people running away in despair.
"Yes, Doctor Xue, thanks to the emperor's favor, I was awarded the title of Wannian County Prince. Today, it's up to me to take care of your trouble." Zhang San replied politely.
"It's okay. Without you today, those young masters won't let it go. Especially that person is from the Zheng family in Xingyang. It's not easy to mess with. You have to be careful." Doctor Xue reminded.
Zhang San originally read in a history book that the five surnames and Qiwang were Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang. Among them, Li Shimin was born
The Li family of Longxi.
It can be imagined how powerful these people are. Of course, Zhang San is not afraid. Now that he has a title, if the Zheng family wants to touch him, he still needs to be cautious. At least he does not dare to do it blatantly.
.
After Zhang San and Dr. Xue were polite, they handed the prepared three guans of money and half a catty of maltose to Dr. Xue, and thanked him: "Thank you to Dr.
Young sister Sanhe is extremely grateful to Dr. Xue for his great kindness."
The younger sister also saluted Dr. Xue to express her gratitude.
"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that I still couldn't save your mother's life in the end." Dr. Xue sighed as he helped Zhang San and his little sister up.
"No matter what, if it hadn't been for Dr. Xue, my mother would have suffered a lot," Zhang San said sincerely.
When I mentioned my mother, my little sister's eyes were red again.
"Okay, I have accepted this gift and money. You brothers and sisters have finally come to the end of their hardships. Very good." Dr. Xue comforted his little sister when he saw her sadness.
"This maltose was made by myself, and I brought it here for you to try."
"Oh, some time ago, I heard that there was a maltose seller in the county who was very popular. It turns out you were the one who made it. It's pretty good." Dr. Xue had naturally heard of maltose, and now he saw that it was actually Zhang San who made it. He was very surprised.
It's admiration.
The brother and sister exchanged a few brief words with Dr. Xue. When they saw a patient coming to the medicine shop, Zhang San got up and said goodbye to Dr. Xue.
After that, Zhang San took his little sister for a walk around the county town. He bought a lot of delicious and fun things for the little girl. He also bought some books to take back with him, so that he could have a deeper understanding of the social scene of the Tang Dynasty.
