The middle-aged man who was the first to recognize his niece said: "Master Yun, thank you so much. Without you! My niece would have been..."
At the end of the story, a grown man couldn't help but shed tears, while his wife hugged her niece, who also had tears in her eyes. They obviously knew about Yunze's rescue of the girls.
"Get up, everyone, there's nothing to be grateful for... It's just a little effort!" Yunze stepped forward to help the middle-aged man up, and at the same time called for others to get up.
People in this era kneel down at every turn, which gives Yunze a headache. After all, he is a person who has been influenced by modern ideas. I don't like this.
Others stood up one after another, but all their faces were full of gratitude.
"Master Yun, we really can't repay your great kindness." The middle-aged man said. Although he is a poor man, he also knows that rescuing his niece cannot be done easily.
Yunze was afraid that he had put in a lot of effort and might have even offended many people.
"Mr. Yun, my niece has already told me that if Mr. Yun really needs them, Mr. Yun will take them with him. We can rest assured that they will work under Mr. Yun! I only hope that if they have time Now, you can come back and see us!”
As the middle-aged man was the first to speak out, others around him quickly followed suit.
Hearing this, Yunze looked at the women and their relatives in front of him, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He thought that these women might choose to stay in the fiefdom if they met their relatives.
If that was the case, he would have to find another way to deal with her.
"Well, don't worry. As long as they are willing to follow me and work hard, I will not treat them badly... Just leave them to me with confidence. When the time comes, they will come back to see you often!"
Yunze made a promise to everyone. It can also be regarded as calming everyone's hearts.
Everyone's faces showed joy. Everyone nodded.
The matter of waiters and performing talents has finally been resolved, but next, it is time to find Xian'er. Miss Xian'er is the best person to help train these people.
Not only because the other party has learned to sing, but also because the other party understands music. Many of my songs need to be rehearsed by her and then taught to these women in front of me.
Yunze wants to make his restaurant unique, first of all in terms of service, if he adds female waiters, plus singing and dancing performances. What will happen! ?
This will be a big killer, even if the Zheng family wants to imitate it, they won't be able to imitate it for a while.
After Yunze used his hurtful tactics to drag the Zheng family down for two months, it would be strange for the Zheng family restaurant not to close down. No matter how rich the Zheng family is, they cannot withstand such a torment.
Even if the Zheng family wants to regroup at that time, Yunze still has other means. In two months, the vegetables in the greenhouse should be almost ready. The unique dishes were also a fatal blow to the Zheng family. If he wants to kill the Zheng family, Yunze has many methods.
Yunze glanced at the girls and told them to rest in the fief for a day and make arrangements when they return to the city tomorrow.
After all, it would take a day to invite Xian'er, and Yunze wasn't very sure about inviting someone there. If that didn't work, Yunze decided to invite those good courtesans.
Of course, the best choice is Xian'er. After all, she is the person with the highest talent for musical perception that Yunze has ever seen. It is rare for someone to be able to play in harmony with him and complement each other.
After telling Ye Ziyan a few words, Yunze rushed to the city. He was originally planning to take Ye Chen with him, but thinking that this kid now wanted to visit a brothel, Yunze gave up this idea.
If this kid was led astray, Ye Ziyan would probably chase him all over Danyang City with a knife in hand. He didn't want to be beaten by this tigress.
Ye Chen's face was full of resentment, but he had no choice but to stay in the fief and help his sister go to various workshops to check the production progress.
After Yunze returned to the city, he went straight to Wanhua and Lou. This is the time for application. It's still early, but in a few hours it will be evening, when the nightlife begins.
Just when we were about to reach Wanhualou, in front of a bookstore, someone was smashing it, and bursts of yelling and curses came from it. Yunze saw Hou Dong's figure.
The young masters who followed him surrounded an old man and kicked him. The old man huddled on the ground and let out bursts of screams. When the people around him saw this, they didn't dare to come forward.
I can only watch the bookstore owner being beaten. It's not that others don't want to help, it's just that these young men are not easy to mess with, especially the young man in waiting. His family is one of the top families in Danyang City.
Even compared to the backstage, their family is tougher than the Huang family and the Zheng family. I heard that his mother's natal family was an official in charge of the salt administration in the court, and her status was not low.
Otherwise, how could they, the Hou family, get permission to sell salt. Materials such as salt and iron were mostly controlled by the court in this era. However, since the late emperor's reforms, part of the management rights have been given to businessmen.
Relatively speaking, the salt tax is higher than any other commercial tax. But even so, there are many experts who want to win this business.
After all, salt is a consumable product and is indispensable in every household. Even though the price of salt is not high, the profit is still considerable.
Yunze also obtained a license for the refined salt he sold. Of course, the Danyang County Prince helped him get the license. Because Yunze solved the problems of the victims, Prince Danyang gave Yunze a lot of conveniences.
Now he is full of praise for Yunze. As long as he had the chance to meet Yunze, he wanted to persuade Yunze to become an official. He had even prepared a recommendation note for Yunze. Even if Yunze wants to be an official, he will give him his full support. Even officials below the fifth rank can be chosen by Yunze.
There is no way, he is the left prime minister of the Jing Dynasty. Even if he is currently on sick leave, it is still very easy to recommend Yunze.
But Yunze still refused. He really doesn't want to be this official. It's really official corruption. He had no interest.
"You old guy, I asked you to sell your shop to me. It's your honor. How dare you refuse? Believe it or not, I burned your shop down. If you don't know better, I will beat you to death today. !”
Hou Dong was cursing there, without any elegance. At this time, he looked more like a rogue. In fact, he himself has this kind of virtue, and his elegance is also pretending to show Luo Qingcen.
It's a pity that Luo Qingcen ignored him at all, and now he and Yunze are together again, and they even caused a storm in the city. He has given up hope, so his nature is becoming more and more unrestrained.
"Master Hou, this store is my life. Without this store, how will my family survive? Besides, you don't make enough money. Even if I want to open another store, it won't be enough." Capital... Just let me go, I’m begging you like this!"
The voice of the old man on the ground was full of pleading.
But it didn't arouse Hou Dong's sympathy at all. He even stepped forward and kicked him a few times with an angry look on his face.
"Fart, this young master can give you so much money, which is already a great act of kindness. If you are not willing, and this young master does not give you a penny, what can you do..."
Seeing that the old man was about to be beaten to death, Yunze was furious. They were so lawless in broad daylight. These people were really abominable.
He rushed over and kicked those young men to the ground with a few kicks, and grabbed Hou Dong's neck. His eyes were full of evil aura and murderous intent.
He really wanted to kill this arrogant and domineering Hou Dong on the spot. A guy like this who bullies the people and does all kinds of evil should die!
But he still endured it. It was easy to kill Hou Dong, but it was a bit troublesome to solve the matter. Even if he had the support of Prince Danyang, the people behind Hou Dong would not make it easy for him.
He is not afraid of the other party's revenge, but what about his family members.
"You...Yunze, what do you want...to do..." Hou Dong said with a trembling voice after seeing Yunze clearly.
He was frightened by Yunze's momentum, and shocked by Yunze's force. He was obviously a little afraid for a moment.
"I'm not doing anything... I just want to beat you up." Yunze smiled coldly, raised his hand and struck Hou Dong's face from left to right, until Hou Dong's face was almost swollen.
Several of Hou Dong's losers came to their senses and wanted to fight Yun Ze, but when they saw that it was Yun Ze, they were all too frightened to move.
The whole Danyang City knew that Yunze killed Huang's father and son, and there were not many people in Danyang City who really dared to offend Yunze. Not to mention, Yunze also has the support of Luo Xuan and Prince Danyang.
Even if Yunze cripples them, as long as he doesn't kill them, their family members won't dare to fart.
"You..." Hou Dong was dizzy after being beaten, and he opened his mouth to curse, but Yunze didn't give him a chance to curse. He beat Hou Dong until tears flowed out, and his eyes were frightened and begging for mercy.
Yunze was tired of beating and threw Hou Dong on the ground. He snorted coldly: "Get out! I have sold this shop. If you dare to come here again, I don't mind letting you become the next Huang Xiong and Huang Lang." !”
When Hou Dong heard this, he nodded in fright, and fled in despair with his men.
Seeing the few people escaping, the people around were relieved and all looked at Yunze with admiration.
Yunze turned around and helped the old man up, and helped him into the bookstore, which contained many books for sale. There are also four treasures of literature and art. And calligraphy and painting, etc.
Of course, the most common ones are books, such as the Four Books and Five Classics. Of course, there are also many miscellaneous books.
Yunze took a cursory glance and looked at the general situation of the bookstore. He didn't quite understand why Houdong wanted to sell such a bookstore now.
Whether a bookstore business like this is good or bad, how could it catch Hou Dong's eyes?
Without thinking about it, Yunze helped the other person sit down on a chair. At this time, the clerk in the store came over cautiously. "Shopkeeper...are you okay?"
The guy's face was also covered with injuries, and he was limping around. He had obviously been beaten, and he might have just gotten up. Looking at him like that, he was still a little unsteady on his feet. He might have been beaten worse than the shopkeeper in front of him.
"I'm fine. Pour me a cup of tea for this young master... If it weren't for him, this little old man would be... ugh... in this world..." He sighed and looked at Yunze with a grateful face.
At first, he was a little wary of Yunze. After all, after Yunze beat him away, he said he wanted to buy his store. He was afraid that Yunze would be another candidate.
Just out of the tiger's mouth, he entered the wolf's den.
"There's no need to pour tea, I have something else to do..." Yunze waved to the waiter, he looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Old man, why does Hou Dong have to buy your store... Although your store occupies a geographical area The location is very good, but only rich people and those who want to gain fame will visit the bookstore. The business audience is small, how much profit can be made!?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Yunze and sighed: "Well... although my shop has a small audience, I recently got a batch of miscellaneous books, including many story books and ghost stories. These books are printed After I came out, the business of my store became very good. Most of the people came here for these story books and ghost stories."
"At that time, after Hou Dong found out about this, he wanted to join the business by force, but I refused. Then, he wanted to buy my shop by force and take the miscellaneous books that the little old man got... Sigh... This Although the second young master saved the little old man, but..."
At the end of the sentence, the old man's face was filled with helplessness, and his eyes were full of panic and fear. He was right, Yunze saved him today, but if Yunze was not there, Hou Dong would still come to cause trouble.
When the time comes, who can protect him? As if he had thought of something, the old man said to Yunze: "Sir, if you want to buy this bookstore, I will sell it to you at a loss and give you the book of stories as well. I hope you can give me a chance to survive." ."
The shopkeeper stood up and knelt down in front of Yunze. Pleading. Looking at him like that, I'm afraid he was forced to have no choice.
He could only choose to let go. He was not willing to sell the bookstore to Hou Dong, so he might as well sell it to Yunze. If the price could be slightly higher, as long as it could keep his family alive. It's better than having nothing at all.
Yunze helped the shopkeeper up, his heart moved slightly. Miscellaneous books! This actually made him think of another way to make money, which was to publish books.
In his previous life, he lived in an era of information explosion. There was nothing he had not read in this novel. There are countless novels in his mind.
If you write a few novels in this era of scarcity of entertainment projects, you can imagine the money you will make.
Moreover, Yunze also thought of a possibility, which is to use this bookstore to build a newspaper and serialize novels on it. Then, add some current news from Danyang City.
By then, Yunze can even manipulate the direction of public opinion by opening such newspapers and periodicals in surrounding cities and towns, and even in the entire Jing Dynasty.
Sometimes public opinion is actually like a sharp sword, if used well. Many things can be solved. In this dynasty, I'm afraid no one can realize the power of newspapers and publications.
This is a knife that kills people without blood!
For Yunze, why not do it.
Just when Yunze wanted to have a few words with the shopkeeper in front of him, suddenly, two figures rushed in from the door, their voices full of anxiety.
"Dad...are you okay, dad..." Two young men, a man and a woman, came in. They looked about 70% similar and looked to be around 20 years old.
Looking at the old man in front of me, he looks about sixty years old. Thinking about it, he is old enough to have a son.
