I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 20 Virgo
Fang Bing, which has already been sold for nearly a month in autumn, naturally not many people buy it again after the weather has cooled slightly, but the popularity of popsicles has not decreased accordingly.

"Mr. Taichu, Xia Fu has just been accepted. I still have a lot of things to do here."

Kou Zhun was somewhat reluctant to be dragged out to go shopping by Li Hang.

"Such a big country can't finish the business at any time, you just follow me, not to mention you still owe people money."

Li Hang suddenly thought of He Shao, and insisted on pulling Kou Zhun to see what this magical boy was doing, and what he was doing now was consistent with his words and deeds at the beginning.

When Kou Zhun saw He Shao sleeping with his arms on the pillow in the haystack under the shade of a tree, he was very angry. He Shao was sleeping soundly, and there was a five or six-year-old child lying next to his head, coaxing him to hate him flies.

While he was soundly asleep, He Shao felt someone kicking him, and couldn't help feeling a little angry in his heart. Just as he was about to swear, he saw Kou Zhun, and put on a doggy face instead.

The child didn't think too much about it. He Shao couldn't help crying when he saw Kou Zhun kicking him awake.

"Master He told me to chase away the flies for him, and give me three pennies when he wakes up, what should I do if you kick him awake?"

Seeing Kou Zhunhei's sullen face, He Shao hastily coaxed the serious child.

"this is yours"

He Shao took out three Wen coins but still couldn't coax him, so he continued,

"Don't cry, the people who work in the ice house haven't paid their wages for half a month. This uncle is a good man, and he came to pay our wages."

Sure enough, the child wiped his tears and looked at Kou Zhun and asked.

"really?"

"Of course it is"

Li Hang smiled and watched the child leave in a hurry, shouting for wages as he walked.

"He Shao, don't you think it's shameful to spend money on these three or four-year-old children?" Kou Zhun asked.

"Kou Xiang, what you see are the pond newspapers in Taiping, and what you hear are the praises of the prosperous age. Do you know where he would be if I didn't ask him to help me repel the flies?"

"Where"

"Begging on the Jinshui Bridge, this place is called Suoerfang. As long as the children in the workshop learn to walk and talk, they have to follow their parents to beg on the street."

When Kou Zhun saw a group of women carrying burdens, many of them had gray hair and were still doing manual labor, especially when he saw that these women might be throwing the only money in their hands into the dustpan Even more angry.

"What about them? These are a group of wives, some of them are old and still working as coolies for you. You really want to exploit them completely? Don't you feel heartache at all when you do this?" Kou quasi-asked.

Before He Shao replied, a woman carrying a burden stopped by when she heard that someone dared to reprimand He Shao in Solfang.

"You are so strange, my mother, I have been begging for food in Kaifeng City for more than three years. When I was the most hungry, I picked up wild goose shit to eat. At that time, why didn't you care if I was suffering or not?

After all, Master He took pity on us Huazi and gave us a job, more than 500 yuan a day, you go to other places to find out, that woman can earn so much.

Mom, I have no land and no man, how can I live without putting in more effort?Is it possible to take my son to your house?Is it your turn to gossip here?

I see people like you a lot when I beg for food on the street, and what I say is the same as a Bodhisattva, and the bowl is not halfway in front of you. "

He Shao's liver is trembling, big sister, are you usually this brave?

This man in front of him is a strong man who will lead an army of 30 in the future. If he wants to punish you, even the real Buddha will not be able to protect you!

This woman talked to an old lady, spit out a string of witty words and scolded Kou Zhun as a dog blood sprinkler. If she knew that the person she scolded, the prime minister, would feel how she would feel.

"I'm going to kill me, I'm really going to kill me" This is He Shao's only thought.

Originally thought that Kou Zhun would be very angry after being scolded, but he didn't expect that Kou Zhun was not only not angry, but also bowed his hands towards the woman in shame.

"I'm going to Menglang"

"Our young master He doesn't care about you a lot. If other women hear it, they will drown you with saliva."

Watching Kou Zhun admit his mistake, the woman gave He Shao a look of asking for credit, and then left with a burden.

The ancients used evil words to hurt people in June. He Shao didn't know that Kou Zhun was not cold. Anyway, his hands were shaking now, and he felt that half of his life was about to die.

"Master Kou, please forgive me"

"Don't worry, I won't argue with a woman, let alone what she said is right."

The first preconceived impression in the Xiangfu made Kou Zhun think that He Shao was a profiteer, so everything he saw was inferred from the worst angle.

Kou Zhun sobered up a lot after the man yelled and scolded him. The things in front of him might not be what he imagined.

"Her name is Qiu Sanniang, the mother of the child you made me cry just now. She is a well-known shrew in Suoerfang. Her husband died early and took care of a half-grown child. She has a tough temper.

Regardless of her appearance, Kou Xiang thinks she is a weak woman, and her physical strength is not much worse than that of a man."

Qiu Sanniang left a deep impression on He Shao.

"It turns out that if the widow or orphan is weak, he probably won't be able to survive." Of course, Li Hang understands the reason why mothers are strong.

"Just now I heard from Qiu Sanniang that she can earn [-] yuan a day, which is more than ordinary strong laborers. What about you?"

Kou Zhun asked curiously, no matter how upright what He Shao said, he was still a merchant after all, and he couldn't change his nature of chasing capital for profit.

He Shao is embarrassed to mention this. The decision to sell popsicles was just a temporary idea, but he can make a lot of money by lying down and sleeping every day.

"Only [-] Wen per day"

"Seventy thousand coins? That's seventy guan. Your daily income can almost catch up with the old man, who is a first-class monthly tribute." Li Hang said in surprise.

"This is Xiaotou. The real money maker of Solfang is Fang Bing. Daily..."

He Shao was already a little excited when he saw Li Hang's [-]th stroke, and if Fang Bing said it, he might scare them.

"Don't tease the old man and just say it"

"The average daily income is [-] guan, which does not include the daily credit of [-] guan from the government"

"In less than a month, you have earned more than 3 yuan. You are about to catch up with Fanlou. Have you paid all the taxes?" Kou Zhun, the third envoy, first considered business tax.

"Every order and every order is fully documented and paid"

"He Shao, I heard Li Xiang said that the cost of your ice is almost negligible, so you just used the water from the Bian River to earn more than 3 guan?"

Kou Zhun felt that his outlook on life had been impacted, and it was nothing more than turning decay into magic.

"The same can be said"

"Obviously this kid has made a lot of money, but those wealthy households in Kaifeng City who bought ice not only didn't complain, they even sang meritorious deeds," Li Hang said with a smile.

He Shao also felt in a good mood, and he even felt that he could live a long life if he did this kind of business a few more times.

"This kind of business can only be done once. In two or three years, the ice in Kaifeng City will be sold for the price of water, and it is still seasonal, and the icehouse has stopped."
