I haven’t been back since I came to the city during the New Year.

I have no choice but to deal with too many things every day.

In addition to the store, there are also merchants who purchase goods, ship goods, and coordinate the routes of many merchants to ensure that everyone makes money.

Of course, the most important thing is to mediate disputes to prevent some big businessmen from organizing manpower to fight outside the city.

Most of what I deal with during the day is like this.

In the evenings, we often have social activities and rarely go home.

The guard remembered that the last time he saw his children was when he went to Liuxiang Restaurant for dinner six days ago. He happened to pass by the academy in the city, so he stopped by to take a look while he was still awake before drinking.

His child was picked up from the county six months ago and is now studying in the best academy in the city.

The teachers in the courtyard are all great talents who have passed the final imperial examination.

And when the guards were recalling the changes in wealth and wealth over the past year.

A bookkeeper dressed as a scholar walked in.

This scholar is the one who often brings books to protect the children.

When the guard bought travel notes for Ning He last year, he brought with him this scholar who made a living by writing letters for others.

But now, since the guards secured the position of the leader of the merchant team, they recruited the poor scholar and gave him a job, responsible for counting the quotations of merchants.

Make sure no one maliciously bids up or lowers prices.

At this moment.

The guard looked at the scholar who came in, and while taking the detailed account handed over from him, he inadvertently used the tone of voice he usually gave orders to say: "When I returned home a few days ago, I heard from the housekeeper that there was a new person in the academy.

This gentleman seems to be from Xuncheng, and he is also the last great gentleman to pass the imperial examination."

As he spoke, he opened the large drawer under the table.

Inside are all gifts sent by merchants in the city.

He picked at it a few times and selected a blue jade inkstone that didn't look too tacky. He asked the scholar: "If I were to give that gentleman a gift, what do you think of this object?"

"Jade platform?" The scholar took it carefully, looked at it carefully, and then looked at his former friend and now his master's house.

At this moment, this friend's shopkeeper temperament is getting stronger and stronger.

Perhaps because Master Liu valued him again, he gained more and more power, causing many big shopkeepers in the city to fawn over the guards.

The scholar couldn't help but dare not be as casual as before, but said cautiously: "Shopkeeper, um... I heard that the new gentleman's surname is Zheng. Mr. Zheng likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so is this the jade platform?"

"Calligraphy and painting?" The guard thought for a while, and after thinking that there was no good calligraphy and painting at home, he took out the official's two hundred taels of silver notes from the drawer on the other side.

"Go around the city and see if there are any famous paintings. If there are, but you don't have enough money, you have to pay a deposit first, and then go back to the store to get the money."

Compared with buying books with scholars in the past, you have to worry about every penny for a long time.

Now the guard took out two hundred taels of official tickets without frowning.

The scholar took the banknote with both hands, but he had no intention of spending anything lavishly.

The idea is still to save as much as possible and buy the most satisfying items at the lowest price.

And when the scholar began to prepare for calligraphy and painting.

On the official road outside Zhou County.

Lord Jin Cao Liu, who is respected by all the big merchants in Liangcheng, is heading towards Ninghe's tea stall with two clerks and two guards as before.

Wait until you arrive outside the tea stall.

Get off your horse early, go into the stall, pour some tea, and sit for a while.

The tea fell, leaving the tea money, hugging his fists towards Ning Heyi, and he left the stall.

He came here three times in the past year from the beginning of the year to mid-November, and it was like this every time.

Don’t ask whether you want it or not, just drink tea and enjoy this moment of purity.

Ning He, who was filling in some books, saw him leaving and looked at an official road twenty miles away.

The talkative Agent Wang is also approaching his stall.

At the beginning of the year, I saw Captain Wang’s luck and learned that he had a good destiny.

This good destiny has now blossomed and borne fruit, becoming a small fortune for promotion to an official.

This luck is due today, it depends on how he grasps it.

And as time passes.

Five miles away.

Mr. Liu was in a good mood after drinking tea. On the way back, he had a rare chat with the humble and well-educated official.

We talked about things in other counties and things in the city.

For example, who is getting married, or who has a girl who is not married, and then wants to match her with a well-educated official.

A good civil servant still has no family.

The good civil servant was embarrassed and moved when he saw that adults were involved in his personal affairs.

But he vaguely refused to accept it, wanting to concentrate on official duties.

Walking and chatting like this.

A strong man dressed as a policeman was riding up from the front.

The distance is getting closer.

Mr. Liu has some impressions of Agent Wang. After thinking about it for a while, he seems to be the agent he met last year.

He remembered that that day coincided with the reopening of Mr. Wang's tea stall, and he was in a good mood. He even asked a guard to take annual leave earlier and go with Agent Wang.

At this moment, this guard is also on this trip.

At the same time, when Detective Wang saw Mr. Liu's appearance, he had a deep memory and wanted to stand up and dismount from his horse to salute.

I didn’t know last year, and those who don’t know are not guilty.

But this time he knew that if he didn't show courtesy again, it would be disrespectful.

Mr. Liu saw that Captain Wang was about to salute, but he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to do this outside."

As he spoke, perhaps his mind was pure and his words were more relaxed. He no longer had the majesty of the past, "Now I am wandering around as a traveling merchant, and I am not wearing official uniform.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The envoy was dressed in official uniform and saluted me.

If outsiders see it and don't explain it, they will inevitably misunderstand it."

"Your Excellency is insightful and considerate!" The well-educated official first praised him, and then his eyes signaled the king not to salute.

Detective Wang could only give up and bow his hands on horseback.

"I remember that you are a police officer in Zhou County." Mr. Liu pressed his hand a little, so that he would not be too polite. "This year, a shopkeeper in Zhou County made a big splash in Liangcheng City and organized the businesses in several nearby counties.

He is a businessman, takes good care of his accounts, and is a talented person.

The member of the Zhang family is also a philanthropic person. I heard that he rarely went home this year and spent all his time giving porridge in various counties.

I think... Zhou County has a capable person!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Liangwen officials echoed at the side.

The other three followers also clasped their fists and said yes.

Captain Wang didn't understand what the adult meant, but he still clasped his fists.

As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he looked at the unaware Inspector Wang and said, "Has this envoy ever thought about coming to work in my Jin Cao Mansion?"

"Jin Cao's Mansion?" Inspector Wang subconsciously replied: "Sir, I only catch criminals in this humble position. I don't know anything about Jin Cao."

"Oh." Mr. Liu nodded, said nothing, and left with the good scholar who shook his head slightly.

When Detective Wang saw Mr. Liu suddenly leaving, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where he had offended Mr. Liu?

One of the guards behind was a good friend of Detective Wang.

He wanted to leave, but when he saw Inspector Wang in a daze, he still felt guilty. He deliberately took a few steps behind and said to Inspector Wang, "Brother Wang is confused!"

"Confused?" Agent Wang looked at his friend in confusion.

"Hi!" Seeing Captain Wang's puzzled look, my friend became even more angry and said, "My lord obviously wants to mention your position! If you had agreed at that time, this place is close to Zhou County.

I can’t think of going to the Zhou County Yamen to mention you today!”

"That's it..." Wang Captou suddenly understood, but said worriedly: "But I don't understand Jin Cao's affairs, so... I still want to continue to be a fast catcher."

"Confused! Confused!" my friend scolded: "Can't you follow the adults first, and then find an opportunity to let the adults arrange you to go to the yamen in the city?"

"Eh?" Detective Wang was suddenly startled, "Yes! How could I have forgotten this!"

"Forgot? The opportunity for promotion is gone!" My friend shook his head and sighed. He only clasped his fists and followed Mr. Liu who walked away.
