Zhang Yan was sitting in the main room early in the morning, eating breakfast while looking through the account books of the carpentry shop in the past few days, as well as the literacy homework that Zhang Huiyuan had recently completed.
"Very good. From now on, you will take care of these accounts by yourself. You will control the withdrawal and outflow of money by yourself. You should also be aware of the corresponding procedures and precautions. Keep it up, and you will be able to take over the position of shopkeeper next month. .I will allocate another accounting room for you when the time comes.
There are also many shortcomings in these coursework. If you think about it more, you will find that these things are all the same. It's not difficult to get started. "
"Second brother, can I really be the shopkeeper?!"
"Of course. The business here in Langyuan City is already very proficient, and the methods are clear. As long as you understand the accounts and all aspects of the money receipts, you can take over the position of the shopkeeper. I am right You have confidence."
"But...Second brother, I'm still a little scared." Although Zhang Huiyuan was excited, she was also happy that her efforts during this period were paying off. But there was still a lot of anxiety when things came to a close. After all, how old was she? We are still three years away from turning 20. Now that we have to take charge of our own business, it is inevitable that we will feel a little uneasy.
"What are you afraid of? You have understood every aspect, what else is there to be afraid of? What we are doing is a business of first-hand money and goods, and we do not use connections. Besides, who can make trouble for you in this three-acre land of Langyuan City? No? Haha, little sister, be more courageous. Even if you lose, won't you still have Xiangkou's big brother to help you fill the gap? Hahaha, he wrote in his previous letter and said that Xiangkou's business is extremely good. The monthly revenue is almost three times that of Langyuan City."
After hearing the encouragement from her second brother and the fact that her eldest brother could help, Zhang Huiyuan immediately stopped panicking. He nodded with a smile. As for the whereabouts of the current shopkeeper, Zhang Yan had told her before that he would temporarily assist her as the shopkeeper. Once a new store opens, it needs to be promoted, so people will not be left alone.
Moreover, the Zhang family's wheelchair business has gained a lot of reputation due to the convenient transportation to Xiangkou hub. Once Zhang Shun's foothold is established, he will continue to consider opening a second branch. Calculating time, another store will open in two months at the latest.
Zhang Yan and his eldest brother Zhang Shun had talked about it in letters before. The first batch of semicolons will be designated for three families, covering the entire Beijiang County. After stabilizing Beijiang County's plate, they will continue to expand outward.
In fact, it would be better to find a big business to cooperate with. Using the other party's manpower and trade routes, coupled with abundant funds, it would not be a problem to open semicolons all over Nanyuan Kingdom within a year. Even with Zhang Yan's current influence, the other party will not look too ugly, and there is absolutely no problem in ensuring the interests of the Zhang family. But in this way, the Zhang family will inevitably be too closely involved with certain forces. This is not what Zhang Yan wants. Therefore, Beijiang County will be laid out first, and other places can only be developed slowly. It also allows the older brother and younger sister to have a process of adaptation and progress.
Your own business is most secure when it is always in the hands of your own family. What's more, the wheelchair business is just a stepping stone to establish the name of Zhang's woodware shop. Zhang Yan has other plans later, which I won't mention for now.
After breakfast, Zhang Yan went out. He doesn't pretend to talk about his current cultivation level or status. It is his responsibility to take action in family affairs. This has nothing to do with his current cultivation level and status.
But there are changes, that is, Zhang Yan definitely doesn't need to do things like push the cart. Zeng Hao started to do it very consciously, his arms were very strong, and he did not neglect to exercise because of studying. In Luo Changshan's words: You are so weak in body and bones, but you still expect to make your way in the world by relying on knowledge? A cold wind can take your life away.
Therefore, the Zaxue lineage has always had its own body-building techniques. Otherwise, if Luo Changshan is still so good at drinking despite his age, it must be supported by his body bones.
In the past, Zeng Hao always liked to follow Zhang Yan when he was in Langyuan City. Zhang Yan would also give the other party some conceptual things from time to time for him to think about. After all, what we have learned is different, so we can’t explain it in too much detail, otherwise it will be a bad thing if the knowledge is mixed.
But this time, the person Zeng Hao bothered the most when he came back was Zhang Huiyuan, the younger sister of the Zhang family. He almost followed Zhang Huiyuan wherever she went. Zhang Yan was very annoyed by his licking face.
It's not that he looked down on Zeng Hao, on the contrary, Zhang Yan recognized this young man. It's just a natural rejection reaction when someone sees someone thinking about their own girl.
Zhang Yan also asked the younger sister, who smiled and said she wanted to see it again, and understood what Zeng Hao meant by being so attentive. He looked like "I understood a long time ago" and was not shy. In this aspect, he is much better than his eldest brother Zhang Shun.
"Mr. Zhang, after the academy is built, can I learn something from you?"
"no."
"Sir, I will be very obedient. I will not bury your knowledge."
Zhang Yan had a straight face. This is the fifth time today that he has rejected Zeng Hao's same question. Without stopping, he continued: "I have handed over most of the content of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to Senior Luo. If you want to learn, go to Senior Luo to learn. I have nothing to give you, and you are not talented enough. I can’t learn either.”
"Sir, the master said that I am quite smart. How could I not be talented enough?" Zeng Hao was depressed. He felt that Zhang Yan was perfunctory with him.
Zhang Yan shrugged. Still shaking his head, he said: "What I'm talking about is talent. It has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not. Even if you are twice as smart, you still don't have enough talent for me. It's not the same path. So don't think about me all the time when you go to school. There are actually not many things in it. I will slowly take out what I can tell and give it to Senior Luo, so you don’t have to be discouraged."
"Sir, do you want to teach you the killing side in the academy?" Zeng Hao also responded. After all, a smart man like him wouldn't be qualified to learn from Zhang Yan no matter how smart he is, so naturally it is not learning. , but another way to get started by relying on "talent" like a warrior. What's more, he had heard that in addition to being a knowledgeable scholar, Mr. Zhang was also a very powerful man.
"I have this idea. But the threshold for my subject is a bit high, and I don't know how many students I can find. Let's see." Zhang Yan was not in a hurry, because he had already found a baby to be his registered disciple. . Teach him first, then find him slowly later, just let it happen.
When they arrived at Wangjiazhuangzi, Zhang Yan was already a familiar face here. All the way to find my sister-in-law’s family.
Wang Shi was still the same as before, and his two big sons were also very enthusiastic, especially towards Zeng Hao. He insisted on drinking at noon, so he drank a few jars of old wine brought by Zhang Yan, which Wang Qin got from Xiangkou. I asked the carriage and horse dealer to bring him back. As for Zhang Yan, they did not persuade him to drink. They knew that Zhang Yan had a drinking capacity and there was no need to persuade him.
"Uncle, can you tell me something before we drink?"
"explain."
"I want to take Xiao Shitou to my side and teach him something."
