Chapter 44: The Rebellion of Pangqidi
"Chen Langjun, are you okay?" Xu Erniang said with a little uneasy face full of guilt.
"Of course, if you have something to do, you're bleeding!" Chen Ying said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You're responsible for others!"
"I'm responsible, I'm responsible, I'll pay for as much soup and medicine!" Xu Erniang said solemnly: "I'll pay for it if I sell it!"
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "I'm fine! You don't have to be responsible. I'm here this time to invest in your inn!"
"Invest? Investment?" Xu Erniang looked puzzled.
When Chen Ying saw Xu Erniang's appearance, he seemed to be unaware of it, so he explained carefully: "Let me give an example, your store is worth 2,000 guan, and I will pay another 2,000 guan. In this way, this store is equivalent to you and you. We each account for 50% of the profits. After expanding the business, we will only open 50% of the profits!"
After Chen Ying said this, Xu Erniang understood. However, Xu Erniang shook her head firmly and said, "This... I'm really sorry, I don't have this plan!"
"Shopkeeper Xu, don't think that I want to seize your inn!"
"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood too!" Xu Erniang hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke: "This inn is my only dowry."
Seeing Xu Erniang's resolute look, Chen Ying was not too forced to do anything. After all, if Xu Erniang gets married in the future, the store will not be able to work together. Chen Ying sighed secretly, and he could only think of other solutions.
Xu Erniang wanted to say, "As long as you marry me, this shop will be yours!" Seeing Chen Ying leaving with regret, Xu Erniang opened her mouth and finally let Chen Ying leave slowly.
Xu Erniang is already married twice. She is extremely inferior and feels that she is not worthy of Chen Ying. Looking at Chen Ying's back as she slowly left, tears burst out from her eyes, and she feels like she is not as helpless as she is not married.
"Mr. Lang, is the matter done?"
Seeing Chen Ying come out of it, Liang Zan came up to ask.
"Let's talk about it when you go back!" Chen Ying got on the carriage and sat opposite Liang Zan.
Chen Ying looked back at Xu Ji Inn and said with regret: "I originally wanted to cooperate with Xu Ji and use Xu Ji's shop to build a restaurant that only provides drinks and drinks services to entertain visitors from all directions. When encountering heroes and heroes, they can be rewarded with half a price. You can barely operate it or you can also find out the news from all directions..."
In Chen Ying's plan, he planned to cooperate with Xu Erniang to redecorate the Xuji Inn and convert it into a restaurant. He no longer provides accommodation services. He knew the noisy methods of future generations. Although he was not considered an excellent chef, he could at least win in the Tang Dynasty, seize the market, and develop and grow.
Perhaps it will not take long to build a good reputation and make a lot of money. As long as you have money, everything will be easy to do. He can become a Song Jiang-like figure in time, to help the ranger, gain a good reputation, and thus recruit a group of thugs who take action.
However, no matter how perfect the plan is, it will not be smooth sailing. Chen Ying's plan is still in the womb, so he can only think of another way. Suddenly, Chen Ying's eyes were frozen in Liang Zan.
Liang Zan was also inexplicably seen by Chen Ying: "Langjun, you are..."
Chen Ying said: "You said you were the leader of the underworld in Jingyang?"
Liang Zan was full of doubts: "What kind of underworld?"
Chen Ying explained: "Not a Ranger!"
"That's right!" Liang Zan said proudly: "Thank you for your brothers' love, and you will be given a nickname, Saburo!"
"Okay, it's so great!" Chen Ying said excitedly: "I'll give you a thousand guan. From today on, you only need to do one thing, which is to spend money!"
"Spend money?"
"Yes, you spend money with big hands! You can make friends with gossip, invite them to drink, invite them to dinner, or invite them to play with women, but remember you can't invite them to be a gambler. To be friends with them, I want you to become a famous little Mengchang in Chang'an in just one month..."
Liang Zan said with a quick look: "It's good!"
Chen Ying did what he said, and after he returned, he asked Liang Zan to take a box of copper coins to the famous Vancouver Cave Qujiang Tower in Chang'an City to be a boy with a fortune.
Chen Ying spoke with Lan'er in the west wing, and suddenly received a message from the doorman to report to the prince.
Chen Ying came to the front hall and looked at it, and then he realized that it was Li Renfang, the soldier from the second palace of Xun.
The full name of the Military Commander is the Military Commander. He is one of the assistant officials of the Zhechong Prefecture. He is the seventh rank and is in charge of military orders and counselors of military affairs. He is also called the Military Commander, which is of the same nature as the Chief of Staff in later generations, but he does not have the power of the Chief of Staff.
"Go to the Duwei Chen!"
Seeing Chen Ying coming, Li Renfang respectfully saluted Chen Ying.
"Li joined the army and exempted the gift!" Chen Ying was stunned after rebelling against the court, and said in confusion: "Didn't this general take a leave today? There are some trivial matters at home today. Is there any urgent matters in the army?"
Li Renfang said: "Report to the commander of the capital, and ask the general to return to the camp at the order of the prince!"
Chen Ying frowned and said, "Is it going to fight again?"
"This..." Li Renfang whined.
Chen Ying knew at a glance that Li Renfang was a real person and could not lie. Chen Ying waved his hand and the maid Nan Nan trotted over. Chen Ying reached out and held Nan Nan's little hand and slowly wrote down a silver verdict in her hand. Then he said to Nan Nan: "I won't go to tea yet!"
Nan Nan's eyes rolled, and he nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"
It didn't take long, Nannan entered with two cups of tea. He first held Chen Ying in his hands and handed him a cup, and then held another cup for Li Renfang.
Li Renfang didn't care at all, so he immediately lifted the tea lid and found that there was no drop of water in the tea cup, but a silver judging of about five taels.
"Why are you not very satisfied with the tea in Chen's mansion?" Chen Ying looked at Li Renfang with a smile and said, "Li Chanjun is not satisfied with Chen's tea?"
"Satisfied, satisfied." Li Renfang pretended to be drinking tea, blocked the teacup with his sleeves, and quietly put the silver plate in his sleeves.
Chen Ying showed a playful smile and stared at Li Renfang with a smile and said, "Li joined the army, Chen had just arrived at Xun's second residence, and there were still many places that were not familiar with. I wonder what the prince said this time? If the prince asked later, Chen Ying couldn't answer. It was not only Chen Ying who was embarrassed, but also represented our Xun's second residence!"
Although Chen Ying only gave Li Renfang five taels of silver, in fact, this money was not low for Li Renfang. The price of the Tang Dynasty was very low. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, a dou of rice only required five cents, while a dou of rice of the same weight in the Qing Dynasty required about 130 to 280 cents. In the 47th year of the Kangxi reign, the Yellow River flooded, and the grain prices in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals rose to more than 800 cents per dou. The Tang Dynasty's military soldiers had no salary, but seventh-rank army members such as Li Renfang had salary, and his salary included 75 stones of grain and 350 mu of land. The legal income of a year was about 450 stones, which was equivalent to 22 kilns and 500 cents. The five taels of silver that Chen Ying gave was about 22 kilns and 500 cents of income. The five taels of silver that Chen Ying gave was about 35,000 yuan in a quarter, which was converted into about 35,000 yuan.
Youdao means that people are short in their hands and soft in their mouths.
Li Renfang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the matter is, I am not very clear about the humble position! However... the leader of the Qiang tribe gathered thousands of troops to rebel, headed straight to Hanchuan, clashed with the prefecture, and plundered the place where he passed, burned and killed everything. Shizhou was in a hurry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called General Chen at this time, and thought it was to discuss the quelling of the rebellion."
