Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

"What! Reform of the post station?"

Standing at the door of the registration office of Puzhou County Government, Li Zicheng looked at the decree that had just been posted and felt like a basin of cold water was being poured from his head to his feet.

My whole body was so cold that I almost fainted.

Reform is an emerging word in recent years.

Li Zicheng also heard about it.

According to Li Zicheng's limited understanding today, reform is tantamount to abolition.

Doesn't this make your dream come to nothing?
"What about my money?" Li Zicheng thought about this and hurriedly ran towards the tooth shop that introduced him to the job.

Not long after, the owner of the dental shop was helpless when faced with Li Zicheng's problem: "You give me money, and I will arrange work for you at the post station. Now the post station is being reformed, not abolished. What are you anxious about? Go back and wait!"

"You guy, pay me back! Otherwise I will demolish your temple!!!" Li Zicheng became angry when he heard this. That was the money he had saved through frugality for more than ten years!

"What money? You and I don't owe each other anything!"

"You fart!"

"Just tell me, I didn't introduce you to a job!"

"You" Li Zicheng became angry and was about to take action, but three or five strong men had already walked out of the row of teeth beside him. It seemed that if Li Zicheng dared to move again, he would be violent.

"Okay, okay, you wait, you wait! I'm going to sue the officials right away, so that you can't bear the consequences!!" Li Zicheng knew very well that a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate losses. He sneered, put down two harsh words, and turned around to leave. go.

"Hey, wait, what kind of official should I report this trivial matter to?" When the shopkeeper of Yahang heard that Li Zicheng wanted to report to the official, he immediately softened his words and said, "Come back!"

"Humph, you know how to be afraid!" Li Zicheng puffed up his chest proudly. It seemed that Sun Chuanting's governance in Puzhou was quite effective.

"Did you see clearly what was written on the notice?" the shopkeeper explained patiently.

"Inn reform! What else are you looking at?" Li Zicheng was puzzled. He was born as a farmer and didn't know a few Chinese characters. What could he understand?
"Reform is not abolition. It means that the post station will be placed under the financial management of the prefectural government, and the levels will be reclassified according to profitability. It will also have the function of serving the people. In other words, in the future, the post station will no longer be an iron rice bowl. If it cannot provide good In terms of service, it’s only enough to guarantee a minimum salary of five cents a month!”

"What? Five cents? It's not even enough to stuff the gap between my teeth!" Li Zicheng became even more angry when he heard this: "No, give me back the money. I'm no longer a postman!!"

"You, you, you, why are you so unreasonable?" The shopkeeper was also angry: "You go ahead and sue the official. Even if you sue the official, I'm not afraid!"

boom! ! !
Li Zicheng slammed the black stick in his hand onto the ground.

The flat bluestone floor suddenly broke into several pieces.

"Today, if you don't give me an explanation, grandpa, I will demolish your temple!" Li Zicheng was furious, with murderous intent already in his eyes.

After all, that is the savings he has accumulated throughout his life!
The fierceness in his bones burst out at this moment.

Glancing at the ground, the shopkeeper waved his hand, and several strong men on the side stopped immediately: "You guys are quite courageous. How about this? I will show you another way out to ensure your satisfaction."

"Let's see," Li Zicheng saw this and took a step back.

"Do you know about Sihai Trading Company?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Zicheng and his tone became gentle: "Tomorrow there will be a manager from Sihai Trading Company recruiting workers in Puzhou City. Seeing that you have some skills, I can recommend you to go there. Business firm, be a long-term caregiver!”

Sihai Trading Company?

Isn't that just like Li Keyong, going to the north to do trade?
Just when Li Zicheng was about to have an attack, the shopkeeper continued: "And the monthly payment given by Sihai Trading Company is ten taels of silver! Food and accommodation are included!"

"Twelve taels of silver?" Li Zicheng was stunned. Food and accommodation were included. He could earn back his capital in three months! "Don't rush to be happy, there are still a few conditions," the shopkeeper chuckled: "I take it you can write about fists, feet, guns and sticks?"

"Old Li, I dare not say anything else. This stick technique has few rivals in the entire Mizhi County!"

Li Zicheng is obviously quite proud of himself.

"To join the Sihai Trading Company and work as a long-term caregiver, first of all, you must be a Han Chinese, secondly, you must be seven feet tall, and thirdly, you must be able to use several swords and guns."

"Then this job is tailor-made for us!" Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Take me there quickly!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow!" The shopkeeper waved his hand: "Go back and come to the store at the first quarter of the day tomorrow. Someone will take you there."

"Thank you, thank you, shopkeeper!" Li Zicheng cupped his hands, laughed three times, then turned around and strode away.

Looking at Li Zicheng's back, the shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "Rogues have no brains, so they can only be a gangster for the rest of their lives!"

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?" the waiter on the side asked blankly.

"I saw that this man was a little brave, so I pointed him out a good path. If he had to be a postman all his life, how could he get ahead? But even if he became a guard of Sihai Trading Company, he still needs to be smart and able to climb up to the elite. Only if a noble person is willing to support you can you have such a one-in-a-million chance. Climb up and hope that this kid can seize the opportunity. "

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he left Li Zicheng behind and continued to check the accounts with his head down.

"The caregiver of Sihai Trading Company?" Li Zicheng did not go to the inn, but after asking a few passers-by, he came to Sihai Trading Company in Puzhou.

After all, if he wanted to join Sihai Trading Company, Li Zicheng felt that he should go in and take a look.

Just when he was about to step in, he saw a waiter coming out and said politely to Li Zicheng: "Sorry, the store is closed to the public today!"

"We are not in business," Li Zicheng replied subconsciously: "I came over to check out the store. Aren't you recruiting caregivers here?"

"Oh, unfortunately, you have to come back tomorrow. Today is not the day, so please come back," the guy said, polite as always.

At this moment, a shout came from not far away.

"Master Fan is here!"

Li Zicheng turned his head and saw a black and gilded two-horse sedan approaching steadily from a distance. There were two horse-riding guards on the left and right, and more than ten masters were following him.

There was no gong to clear the way, and no fanfare.

But this kind of momentum,

Big shot!
"Dare I ask the waiter, what is this?" Li Zicheng asked in a low voice.

"This is Mr. Fan, the head of the Fan family, the head of the Eight Families in Jinzhong. He is the confidant who has been with the ruling lord since he was in Liaodong." The clerk quickly pulled Li Zicheng aside to prevent him from blocking the nobleman's way.

Fan Zhongjin!
Naturally, Li Zicheng had also heard Fan Zhongjin’s story.

He spent all his wealth to support the consul who was still the commander-in-chief of Liaodong at that time. Now, he has received hundreds of times in return.

In the entire Gansu, Shaanxi and Jin Dynasties, who dares to say that the Fan family is rich?
"Why did he come to Sihai Trading Company?" Li Zicheng asked.

"I heard that Senator Lu came to Shanxi from Beijing to preside over the reform of the post station. He arrived in Puzhou today, and Mr. Fan came to see him."

"Oh," Li Zicheng nodded, already thinking: "Sihai Trading Company." (End of Chapter)
