Fight the Giants

  Chapter 175 Hand in hand with you

   On this New Year's Day in the first year of Yongkang, the haze of the war has dissipated, and everywhere is full of scenes of prosperity such as "fire trees, silver flowers, moon shadows, and occasionally coming to Qinhuai and not thinking of home".

  Mr. Yang and Huo Erhuai have lived on the water for ten years, and they have never been able to spend a year in Beijing in a down-to-earth manner like this year.

  It wasn't just Huo Xi and Yang Fu who were having fun, but also Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai were watching the fun around the capital behind Huo Nian's back.

   "Silver is a good thing." Huo Erhuai sighed.

   "That's not true. It's strange that everyone wants to make money. Now that you have money, you can have houses and fields, food and drink, and you can hire a car if you travel.

  The whole family dressed in brand new clothes, sitting in the carriage, Yang hugged Huo Nian, looking back and forth at the carriage, now they can even hire a carriage, it's great.

   "We spent a lot these few days." Huo Erhuai felt distressed.

   "Let's just save after the new year. Isn't money earned and spent?" Yang is now very generous. Touching Huo Niannuan's small hands and face, he felt happy.

   "Your finger joints are wide now." Huo Erhuai said to her.

   "I have been married to you for ten years, and I have such a good life now, why don't I miss it?"

  Huo Erhuai chuckled: "Let's let it go. After the new year, I will work harder and save more for you to let go."

   Yang scolded him with a smile, Huo Xi and Yang Fu also covered their mouths and laughed.

   Mu Yan on the other side has never been idle this New Year's Eve.

   Cheng took him around to visit and attend various banquets. Ding Guogong also took Mu Yan to this mansion and that mansion, to entertain this man and that man.

  Now Dingguo's mansion is in the emperor's heart, and all the prefectures in Beijing are fawning. Seeing Mu Yan following him, he changed his mind a few times. I don't know if it's Duke Ding's own intention, or the empress wants to support the embarrassing boy in the Xiping Houfu.

  So many sons and young masters of other families, and classmates of Mu Yan Guozijian sent him posts one after another.

  As usual, Mu Yan didn't even look at it, too lazy to move. But after he died again in the capital, he was willing to go out. Even though his heart was cold, there was a smile on his face.

  This New Year's Eve, his face froze from laughing.

  Everyone feels that he has changed, only he knows that if he was still him before, he is no longer him now.

   On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, to welcome the God of Wealth, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere in the capital, and all kinds of shops in the streets and alleys are open to welcome guests.

  Early in the morning, Huo Erhuai opened the door, wanting to sweep away the snow that had fallen all night in front of the door, but saw Shen Qianzhong and Shen Luo standing at the door, raising their hands to knock on the door.

  Huo Erhuai had never seen them before, so he stood there in a daze.

   "It's you guys, come in, come in."

  Mr. Yang greeted his father and son, and rubbed Shen Luo's red hands: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

   "Nothing. I'm so hungry that my stomach is rumbling, auntie, can I have something good to eat?" Anyway, his father planned to become a family with them, and Shen Luo didn't intend to be polite anymore, so he asked Yang for food.

"Yes, yes, what do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you." Seeing the child asking her for food, she was very happy, so she directly dragged Shen Luo into the kitchen, pushed him to sit in front of the stove to warm up, and hurriedly stand up.

   After drinking a cup of tea, Shen Qianzhong explained his reason for coming.

   "Have you thought it through?" Huo Xi looked at him steadily, seeing the firmness in his eyes, he was satisfied.

Shen Qian nodded: "Yes, I have thought it over clearly. You are right, I am like this, no one is willing to hire me as an important position, and I am not willing to sign a contract for someone. Carrying bags at the pier, I can’t even support my son.”

  Huo Xi appreciates his knowledge and practice.

   "You won't regret your choice today." Huo Xi said.

   "Although I don't know where my family will go, you won't lose anything. Even if there is no dividend every year, I won't lose you five taels of salary every month."

   "Yes. Qian Shen is very satisfied this month."

   "It's good if you are satisfied. As for how much you can get as a year-end dividend, it depends on your means. You and I are in the same boat. If my family earns more, you will naturally get more."

   "Shen understands."

   "Don't you think it's embarrassing to obey me?" Huo Xi looked at him.

  Shen Qianzhong smiled: "Not really. The weak fear the strong, isn't that the case in ancient times?" He just did his part, as for who the other party was, whether it was a man or a woman, and what age, it didn't matter.

  Huo Xi smiled, "If you can think of it this way, I think our future cooperation will be very pleasant."

   "A certain person is willing to listen to his master's orders."

  The two of you talked to each other, Huo Erhuai was dumbfounded, unable to get in his mouth, and properly used it as a background board.

  I was still very happy in my heart. Shopkeeper Shen was capable at first glance. Xi'er can find such a person to help her, which is much better than the two of him and his wife who are like a blind man who can't help the child.

   "Shopkeeper Shen, I thank you for coming to help us cherish our children."

   "Huo Dong's family is serious. Shen is still relying on your family now."

  Shen Qianzhong was curious about the relationship of this family. The family seemed to be honest fishermen, but they also started selling goods. And the whole family listened to this seven-year-old girl.

  Shen Qianzhong shook his head and laughed. I also feel dizzy. But he didn't intend to ask, it had nothing to do with his cooperation with her.

   "Father, go to Butcher Gao to see if he has opened a stall, and come back after cutting two pieces of fresh meat. Today, let's invite shopkeeper Shen to celebrate the festival with us at home, so that we can have a raw meal."

   "Okay, Dad will go now."

   "I'll go with my brother-in-law." Uncle Lang and the two soon took their money and went out.

   "This is one thousand taels." Huo Xi handed Shen Qianzhong a bank note.

   "This is it?" Shen Qianzhong was a little surprised, this, all of a sudden took money from him? Do you trust him so much? Looking at the bank note, I was a little lost.

"This is the cost. My family can only take out these things at the moment. It is all up to you to operate. You used to do business from south to north in Jinling, so it should not be difficult for you. I will give you full authority over the supply of goods. , arranged by you."

   "The sale?"

"At present, the sales are mainly carried out by ship owners. As long as the goods are good and can make money, there are only a lot of people who help sell the goods. When I get on the track, I will have a shop for sales and a warehouse in the capital. Receiving goods from south to north. That's the first step."

   "What about the second step?" Shen Qianzhong couldn't help but want to hear about the ambition of the little girl in front of her.

  Huo Xi glanced at him: "The second step, I want to have our shops and warehouses in the cities along the canal."

   There are shops and warehouses in the city along the canal? Is this a business that is not satisfied with one place? Shen Qianzhong couldn't help but widen his eyes.

   "Not only along the canal, but if possible, I want to have our shops and warehouses in every major city. I want my family's goods to be spread all over the country, showing the trend of starting a prairie fire."

  Shen Qianzhong's eyes widened.

  Ambition, so big? Is it spread all over the country?

  Shen Qianzhong's heart, which had been silent for a long time, jumped up. How much was the 10% gain in that year? A heart beats faster and faster.

  He couldn't help looking at her, staring at her, not letting go of her every expression. Seeing the seriousness, stubbornness, and tenacity in her eyes, my heart suddenly settled down. Inexplicably, she felt that she could do it.

  Then he is heavy, just wait and see.
