The next day, Yang Xuan set up a stall selling Hu cakes as usual.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun started to get busy after the morning court session.
In the court hall, the emperor directly ordered several princes to go to the six divisions to practice.
After the dynasty ended, Lu Chenghong began to have a headache about where to go.
Among the six departments, the Ministry of War is too sensitive, and the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of hundreds of officials, which can easily arouse suspicion.
These days, skilled workers are not taken seriously, the Ministry of Works has no sense of existence, the Ministry of Rites is full of rotten scholars, and the dirty and dirty things in the Ministry of Punishments are not in line with his character.
After much deliberation, I still prefer Tobe, as it won't be too sensitive, and it won't make him completely unable to perform.
After all, if you make some achievements, you might be able to get a good place when you become a feudal lord in the future.
After the princes have selected the place, the emperor will issue the decree, and then the princes will go to various ministries to take up their posts.
Lu Chenghong served as a doctor in the household department. Among the six departments, the largest was the minister, followed by the ministers on the left and right, and then the doctor.
When you first take up a position, you naturally have to work seriously and at least get familiar with your colleagues and their work processes.
So Lu Chenghong immediately immersed himself in his work, forgetting about the little brother who might know how to make salt.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Yang Xuan had saved enough one hundred taels of silver and quietly called his elder brother to his room.
When the eldest brother looked at the twenty silver ingots neatly placed on the table, he couldn't help but be a little confused.
"You said this is the money you saved?"
"One hundred taels?"
Looking at his elder brother's disbelieving expression, Yang Xuan still felt a sense of accomplishment.
"You said your pretzels cost ten cents each?"
"According to what you said, the ten cents they spent were not buying your biscuits, they were clearly buying your salt." The eldest brother was suddenly startled: "Oh no, I don't dare to do this. If the government finds out, they will still buy your salt."
You are not allowed to be arrested and imprisoned."
"Big man, I will kill the bold and starve the timid. Besides, why am I selling salt? What I sell is pretzels. But some people have stronger tastes and like to eat salty food, so I will sell more salty ones."
I just let it go a little bit, what's the crime?"
What Yang Xuan said made even his eldest brother, a government servant, speechless.
One hundred taels, it had been his salary for several years, and for a while, he almost wanted to sell biscuits.
"What did you say? You want to open a shop in the city?"
After hearing Yang Xuan's plan, the eldest brother was shocked again: "You are not young anymore. It is wise to keep the money you make and keep it for marrying a wife."
"..."
Yang Xuan was speechless. He was only 16. Before time travel, it was a perfect puppy love. He was called a parent. Now he was ready to start a family?
"Brother, don't worry about getting a wife in advance. Let's wait until I make more money."
"To start a family and start a career, start a family first and then start a career. What does it mean to talk about it later..."
"Brother, I have spotted a shop in Yingtian Mansion. The rent is only ten taels of silver. I plan to rent that shop."
Yang Xuan successfully changed the topic, and the eyes of the elder brother and sister-in-law were as big as bells again.
"Ten taels of silver a month's rent?"
"If I don't eat or drink for five months, it's only ten taels..."
"That shop is on Guangfu Street, which is the busiest area in the west city of Yingtianfu. Besides, it's a two-story building with a backyard. I can live there directly and save myself from traveling twenty or thirty miles back and forth every day.
."
There was a moment of silence.
The eldest brother showed a ashamed expression: "Brother, although my sister-in-law often criticizes you, you still own half of this house. Otherwise, if we separate our families, we only need to build a wall in the middle of the yard..."
"Brother, it won't happen. You can live in this house with peace of mind. Brother, I will naturally have a way to make a living. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will take my eldest brother to Yingtian Mansion."
Yang Xiao is a seven-foot tall man, and the corners of his eyes are a little wet at this time. His younger brother is only sixteen years old, but now he has to leave home and go on his own.
It is said that an eldest brother is like a father, but he, the eldest brother, could not help much. On the contrary, it was as if the brother had been driven out.
Seeing that his eldest brother was about to cry, Yang Xuan comforted him: "Brother, let me tell you the truth. When I caught wind-cold and my brain was hot, I felt like my brain was in a trance, and I figured out many things.
, I will change my way of living from now on."
The eldest brother was confused. I had only heard of fever burning out the brain, but I had never seen anyone burning the brain completely.
But considering Yang Xuan's performance in the past few months, it is indeed different from before.
Mature, steady, and methodical in doing things, he is no longer like the ignorant boy before.
The most important thing is this method of making salt, and the fact that he earned one hundred taels of silver in four months, which would be incredible to anyone.
Besides, Yang Xuan earned this money by himself, so it’s hard to say how to deal with his elder brother.
On the third day, Yang Xuan went to rent the shop he liked.
In Yingtianfu, the north is noble, the south is humble, the east is rich, and the west is poor.
What it means is that most of the noble families live in the north of the city, while common people live in the south of the city. Most of the people in the east of the city go shopping, basically for luxury goods, while ordinary people generally go to the west of the city to shop.
Of course, the large piece of Yingtian Mansion protruding from the east of the entire city is the Imperial City.
Guangfu Street is the most lively and prosperous place in the southwest of the city.
Yang Xuan's pretzel business is for ordinary people, so this place is the most suitable.
The rent is paid every three months, and the thirty taels are gone in one go, and then there is renovation and renovation.
Although these pretzels can be purchased on the go, these pretzels are not a long-term solution after all. If the quantity is really large, people will definitely suppress them.
The first floor was expanded and the backyard was renovated into a kitchen. The second floor hardly needs to be touched. It is basically a room for self-occupation.
After all this fuss, thirty taels were gone again.
Then I went to Yahang and bought two maids, six taels each, only twelve taels in total.
Yes, life is so cheap these days.
Although Yang Xuan comes from the 21st century, he is not so pedantic and would not do anything like getting rid of slavery.
After all, if you are wealthy, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can live alone. If you don't have money, all those things are bullshit.
It cost more than ten taels to purchase some tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and daily necessities.
When everything was ready, Yang Xuan only had twelve taels of silver left in his pocket.
Amid the noisy sound of a bunch of firecrackers crackling, Yang Ji Wei Ji Xian opened.
However, there was one thing that surprised Yang Xuan, that is, the speed of information dissemination in this era is speechless.
Guangfu Street is only a few miles away from Yongning Street, but no one here knows about his famous pretzels.
Although people passing by were curious about the opening of a new store, when they saw the word pretzel and the price of ten cents each, they all flinched. Even people passing by the door had to go a little further away.
Yang Xuan even heard people passing by muttering, maybe the shopkeeper of this shop is crazy about money. Hu cakes are sold for ten cents each and are they decorated with gold edges?
This is a bit embarrassing.
Yang Xuan scratched his head, it seemed that he still had to use some means.
At this time, Shi Shiran, a slightly fat middle-aged man, walked over from a noodle shop across the street and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao Yang, you have a great business."
