"What's a good thing? These days, my stomach is not full, what's a good thing? Come in and sit down!"
Wang Wu took Zhu Hansan into his home, invited him to sit down and said, "Keep your voice down, my mother-in-law and my son are both asleep."
"Fifth brother, take a look at this first!"
Zhu Hansan took out a picture he carefully drew from his arms. It was an authentic Eight Immortals table and matching chairs. To be honest, sitting on his knees every day during this period made Zhu Hansan miserable.
"What is this? A table? A chair? So high?"
Looking at the beautifully painted tables and chairs and the little figures on them, Wang Wu could roughly guess what the paintings were about. However, the low-style tables and chairs had been deeply rooted in the Han Dynasty, and it was difficult for Wang Wu to see them for a while.
of value.
"Fifth brother, look at the tables and chairs I have. All my tables and chairs are low-profile. If you sit on your knees for a long time, even with a cushion, your legs will be numb, right? Look at this one I designed. It's called the Eight Immortals Table. It's boxy.
Yes, it means that the sky is round and the square is round. Eight people can sit together and have a meal. This distance is shortened and everyone can cultivate their relationship better, right? Let me tell you, this thing is very convenient. Think about it...
....”
While explaining to Wang Wu, Zhu Hansan elaborated on the benefits of this set of furniture and the profits therein.
"This...let me think about it carefully!"
Wang Wu was shocked. He didn't expect that the boy who had casually grabbed him would actually bring him such a gift today. However, Wang Wu was only an official in the county government, and according to his position, he was equivalent to one of the later generations.
He was just an ordinary police officer. Looking at the patterns on those tables and chairs, he had to be a master. In this county, only the master from Wanmuzhai had this ability. In an instant, Wang Wu also guessed the reason why Zhu Hansan came to him.
"My dear, this matter is not easy to handle. The Zhu family of Wanmuzhai has been running the business in the county for several generations. If we intervene rashly, we may cause shopkeeper Zhu to be dissatisfied."
Wang Wu looked embarrassed and kept tapping the table with his fingers.
"Fifth brother, you have to think carefully! You see, a small table costs hundreds of dollars, and a good one costs thousands. As long as this Eight Immortals table can be built, it will cost thousands at least.
Money, I'll help you do the math. If we sell an Eight Immortals table with chairs for 3,000 yuan, we can make at least 1,000 yuan after the cost. How many households are there in Jingxian County and how many households are there in Jizhou?
Hey, how many families are there in this world? Fifth brother, do the math for yourself, if we sell these tables and chairs all over Jingxian County, how much money can we make?"
Seeing that Wang Wu was hesitant, Zhu Hansan directly gave him a mirage. After some rhetoric, even Zhu Hansan was frightened by his ambition. Not to mention what this business could achieve, the twists and turns in it were even more...
It is not illegal to involve Zhu Hansan, who has no background, but if you think about it, it is not illegal.
"I asked you, why did you fall in love with money?"
Wang Wu was a little moved by what he said, but he was a little disdainful of doing business with the merchant.
"Oh, my fifth brother, you actually care about this!"
Zhu Hansan was stunned and thought to himself, the Han Dynasty's scholars, farmers, merchants and merchants were really killing people. The status of merchants was low, and Wang Wu, who was in the government, was always hesitant. After thinking about it, Zhu Hansan said this: "Since Fifth Brother, you are afraid of ruining yourself."
reputation, then just let me step forward to handle this matter. Brother Wu, you don’t need to worry about anything. If anything happens to my store in the future, Brother Wu, just step forward and handle it. Brother, I will give you bonuses every month.
how?"
"That's it! Okay! With your fifth brother here, I want to see who dares to cause trouble in your shop, mistress."
Wang Wu was slightly startled, Zhu Han
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
San's idea is a good one. He can get money while he is free. All he has to do is protect him. With the county captain Zhang Feng on top, in this county, except for those big bosses, no one dares to go against him.
?Wang Wu simply agreed to him.
"Fifth Brother, do you know where I can buy wood?"
Now that Wang Wu has decided to join the gang, Zhu Hansan must let him pave the way for him. He doesn't have much capital, and he has to do this with nothing, so it's best to owe money first.
"Wood? There are a lot of big trees on the mountains outside the city. Do you want ready-made wood? It will cost a lot of money, right? Where can you get so much money?"
Wang Wu rolled his eyes and replied angrily.
"As for money, I will use my house as a mortgage. Who in this city can borrow money?"
Zhu Hansan gritted his teeth, rubbed his hands and said.
"That house of yours is worth some money. Why don't you go to Shopkeeper Zhu from Wanmuzhai to borrow it? Fifth brother will take you there early tomorrow morning."
Wang Wu thought about it and realized that it wasn't his own money anyway. As long as this was done, he would have an extra income.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you this in the morning. Since I have decided to go out on my own, I have to go to Zhang Mansion and tell them."
Zhu Hansan still wanted to continue to have a good relationship with Butler Zhang, so it was indeed inappropriate to leave without saying hello.
"Well, I definitely have to tell you first! Then tomorrow morning I will go to Wanmuzhai to talk to Mr. Zhu, the shopkeeper. After you tell me, I will come over quickly. Your fifth brother and I will be a good person and do it to the end. Just in time.
There is a shop in the west that was inspected by us last month. It is still empty, so you go there and work there first, and just send the rent to the Yamen on time every month."
Wang Wu thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother. Can I ask more about why the store was raided? What did the store do before?"
Zhu Hansan asked carefully.
"Don't ask too much about this matter, it won't do you any good!"
Wang Wu said with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Oh, look at what I'm asking, little brother, he deserves to be punished, he deserves to be punished!"
When Zhu Hansan saw this, he quickly reached out and slapped himself on the mouth a few times.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, let's go. It's getting late!"
Wang Wu yawned profusely and got up to chase people away.
"Thank you so much, Fifth Brother. If I get rich in the future, I will never forget your care today, Fifth Brother. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now. You just wait to hear the news!"
After seeing that the matter was finalized, Zhu Hansan stood up and left.
"Haha, then Fifth Brother is waiting for the good news from brother. Tell Fifth Brother on the opening day, and Fifth Brother will bring his brothers to help you!"
Wang Wu didn't try to hold him back and got up to see him off.
Early the next morning, Zhu Hansan went to Zhang's Mansion to explain his intention to the housekeeper Zhang. At first, housekeeper Zhang still wanted to stay, but after seeing that Zhu Hansan had decided to leave, he stopped saying more and just said that he would take time to visit Zhu Hansan's shop after it opened.
Look, after all, such a decent person will still cooperate with him in the future. Then, haha, Butler Zhang made himself laugh just thinking about it.
As soon as he arrived at Wanmuzhai, Zhu Hansan heard Zhu Wen and Wang Wu talking and laughing in the back room, "Both elder brothers are here, my younger brother is not too late!"
"Yesterday, I felt that my little brother was not an ordinary person. I didn't expect that I actually met Brother Wang. If you had told me earlier, little brother, I would have given up more money for the case no matter what."
Zhu Wen was a good person and took the lead in laughing.
"Everywhere, the fifth brother supports and loves the younger brother. How can the younger brother go out and destroy the fifth brother?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What about my reputation?"
Zhu Han held up his hands three times in a row. After all, he was asking for something from someone. His posture was very low, and then he turned to Wang Wu and asked, "I wonder if the fifth brother has mentioned this about me?"
"I just talked to Shopkeeper Zhu, and Shopkeeper Zhu also agreed to lend money, and for the sake of your fifth brother and me, I am willing to lend you 20,000 yuan for a loan period of three months. After three months, you have to pay back the principal."
I will repay Shopkeeper Zhu 23,000 yuan with interest."
"Well, no problem!"
Zhu Hansan scolded Zhu Wen for his black heart in his heart, but he said it nonchalantly.
"Okay, little brother is indeed a person who does great things. This is an IOU. It has been written for you, little brother. Take a look. If it is correct, the signature will be postponed and the 20,000 yuan will be given to the little brother immediately!"
Zhu Wen rubbed his hands and felt a little happy. After all, he only lent the money out for three months and would receive an interest of three thousand dollars by then. With Wang Wu as a guarantee, he was not afraid of Zhu Hansan running away with the money.
Zhu Hansan picked up the IOU and read it carefully. The general content was similar to what he just said. He then picked up his brush and wrote his name on the IOU and pressed his fingerprints (in ancient times, people had to have proof when borrowing money. The origin of pawnshops.
In the Southern Dynasties, this protagonist will also play later).
After taking the money, Wang Wu led Zhu Hansan to the shop in the west of the city. The area was really not small, covering an acre. There was a shop in the front, a yard and a few houses in the back. Such a scale showed that the original family was
The strength is extraordinary.
"Are you satisfied?"
Wang Wu asked with a smile.
"This store is really nice. It sells things in the front and people can live in the back. I just don't know how much it would cost to buy it."
Zhu Hansan was a little moved and planned to buy it directly.
"The deed of the house is at the county government office. If you want to buy it, I'll ask you later. But this place is too big. If you want to buy it, it will cost at least three to four hundred thousand. Don't think about it now, kid.
Hire a few people to clean it. As for the wood, there are still some in the Yamen warehouse that are not being used. They are a few years old. When I get back to the Yamen, I will ask you if I can sell them to you at a low price."
Wang Wu was not a business person, but that didn't stop him from supporting Zhu Hansan in doing business. After all, if he made money, it would be easy for him to share it.
"Then thank you so much, Fifth Brother!"
Zhu Hansan was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly said that he had done the right thing by recruiting Wang Wu to join the gang, and it had helped him a lot.
"Your fifth brother can help you with the wood matter, but as a carpenter, you have to figure it out on your own!"
Wang Wu chuckled.
"It's okay, little brother, I have learned some crafts before, I think I can do it!"
Zhu Hansan actually learned carpentry skills in his previous life. Not to mention how exquisite he was, but carving dragons and phoenixes was no problem. He patted his chest and smiled.
In his previous life, Zhu Hansan was born in poverty. He dropped out of school to become an apprentice at a young age. Because of his restless temper, he was always jumping around. He knew how to do many things, but he was not very good at it.
When he came to the Han Dynasty this time, Zhu Hansan was very happy, because his not so good craftsmanship suddenly became top craftsmanship in this era.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such skills. That's alright. After noon, you can arrange for someone to go to the county government office to move the wood."
After Wang Wu confessed, he turned around and left the shop.
"I, Zhu Hansan, finally have my own shop!"
Standing alone in the shop, Zhu Hansan felt extremely excited, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was his starting point, an important starting point to achieve his life goals.
