Chapter forty-eight

"Xiaolang, have you freed up the second floor and added more seats for dinner?" Early the next morning, the groom's wife came to ask with two diligent women.

Wei Yang was practicing swordsmanship and stopped hearing this.

He hesitated and asked, "Do you three aunts think it should be opened?"

A woman named Qin from her husband said enthusiastically: "If we add another floor, our business will be much better. Xiaolang doesn't know that there are people in the yamen here to have dinner these days."

Wei Yang was busy observing the potatoes but he really didn't notice it.

He pondered for a moment and simply said, "The three of you don't know what plans are for the future?"

Aunt Qin is actually very young, about twenty-seven or eight years old, but she looks a little older, and is almost the same as a person in the forty years of later generations. She is a hard-working and kind-hearted woman. When she asked, she said first, and replied: "Xiao Lang is too worried. If we learn some skills, we shouldn't steal the business of the owner..."

"You are wrong. What I mean is that if you want to open a store in the future, I can help you store it first and you will run it yourself. I believe you also know that some seasonings are only authentic, and there are some production methods that you can learn in the future. When you open a store, I have one, not much, about 30% is enough." Wei Yang said.

There are at least 100,000 military and civilians in Hami City, and he can't do business with so many people alone.

What's more, how many people are there in the entire Northwest region?

How many people were there in the Ming Dynasty?

"Only chain stores can expand." Wei Yang had already made such a decision to pay attention.

But what he didn't expect was that the three women refused this kindness together.

The groom's wife smiled and said, "Xiaolang is a kind-hearted master, but the little woman has discussed with her husband. We don't have that great ability or opportunity. Xiaolang's business is good, and we are not afraid of not having money. Now we just help Xiaolang do his part, but don't consider the others."

Another woman smiled and said, "I'm afraid Xiaolang is annoyed, but this is difficult. There is no good thing to eat when there is no effort. However, if Xiaolang doesn't want to suffer more, we can also take care of this business. First, we can be worthy of the thousands of dollars a month and the kindness of Xiaolang treating our women. Second, scholars say, "One person is enlightened, and chickens and dogs are ascending to heaven." We have good intentions and make friends with people like Xiaolang. When Xiaolang is developed, we will also have benefits to eat. My husband said that this is to prosper and lose both one's losses."

This sentence reminded Wei Yang.

"I often want to read, but I still haven't thought of buying two books to read. Over time, I can only grow up to become a martial artist. After all, those who practice martial arts are ordinary people. How can they miss the indirect people and things in this world that I am not familiar with? You should still learn to read and read some books as soon as possible, even if it's just to gain an identity that is not disturbed by ordinary people." Wei Yang thought so.

Of course, he knew very well that if he wanted to avoid being disturbed, he could only have absolute strength.

Just like if you want to "forgive others when you have to forgive others", you must first "be invincible since your debut".

Wei Yang figured out this and understood the three women's thoughts. He waved his hand and smiled, "Then I'll leave it all to you. In this way, the three aunts think it should be managed, and you will do it. If you think the wooden building should be used, you should spend money and ask someone to ask someone. I just ask about the accounts, and I won't ask about the others."

The three women smiled happily and went to work hard.

Wei Yang practiced the sword technique for a while and discovered another situation.

His appetite increased several times. His sword technique, which could be practiced for an hour after a meal, is now even half an hour.

Especially when the true qi is running, he always feels empty in his stomach.

"You should eat more and eat less, and you should not overeat." Wei Yang set a dietary rule for himself, washed his face, ate some meat and vegetables, and took a little scattered silver. Seeing the three women busy greeting the diners, he asked the city bookstore. When he learned that he was near the county school, he walked away with a steel knife.

Hami City is very big, and the main street is a place of prosperity on both sides of the usual areas, but if you want to be the most prosperous, you have to go to Xicheng, where there are brothels and tiles, and there are mostly wine shops singing and dancing.

However, Dongcheng is a quiet place, and Hami County School is set up there. The cultural activities of Hami City are usually there, and the Confucian Temple and Martial Temple are set up in Dongcheng.

The largest building in Dongcheng District is the Zhongshun Palace, which also has the function of governing the northwest guards. The military and political power of the Hami Guards is basically concentrated in the royal palace and several yamen next to the royal palace.

Between the east and west Liangcheng, the northernmost end is the schoolyard and the south of the schoolyard is the garrison, official office, official medical bureau and other yamen.

Wei Yang followed the main road to the north, and next to the yamen of the garrison, he found Hami County School. Opposite the county school were two bookstores. One seemed to be closed, with wooden signs that were suspended from trading.

Another one is open and there are empty inside. Hami County has not many students. This bookstore is mostly used to serve the private schools of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Hami Guard.

When Wei Yang entered, a half-old man was dozing against the bookcase. When he saw him coming in, he glanced at him and ignored him.

Wei Yang didn't dislike anything and went straight to a few rows of bookcases. When he saw this, he felt a little overwhelmed.

The Four Books and Five Classics, the various schools of thought, and there are several calculation books, and some medical skills, but most of them are obscure and difficult to understand, and he can't understand them.

"Shopkeeper, do you have general textbooks here?" Wei Yang bowed to the old man.

The old man looked at him and sneered, "It's too late to study at your age. A seven or eight-year-old child must read "The Analects of Confucius" at least. If you recognize words at this time, you may not have any great prospects in the future."

Wei Yang didn't speak, so he picked it up on his own and found a book called "New Four Characters for the Four Characters of the Condor Heroes". When he opened it, he found that he read the picture and read it. The book had 388 words, starting from "Heaven, Clouds, Thunder, Wind" to ending with "Dirt bucket, broom", all of which were the names of some tools that appeared in daily life.

Another search was made, Wei Yang found a volume of "The Law of the Ming Dynasty" and a part of "The Instructions of the Emperor's Ancestral Ancestors", which can be published and can be learned by scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

There is also a volume of "The Collection of Ming Dynasty".

I took it to check out, and the old man looked at it carefully and found that it was just these, and he couldn't help but look down on it a little more.

"If you are not mean children, you will be a traitor. You will find loopholes in the law. A gentleman will not do anything." The old man scolded.

Wei Yang didn't mind, he didn't plan to learn this knowledge to be a good citizen who was law-abiding in ancient times.

"It's just for literacy, otherwise who would have read this?" Wei Yang didn't care at all.

But when he went out after the payment, he asked the old man: "The old man must have been extremely smart since he was a child?"

The old man said proudly: "I learned to read at the age of three, recited the Analects of Confucius at the age of seven, and became a student at the age of eighteen. Later, I hum, I was not very lucky..."

"That's it. The old man has been studying since he was a child, but now he has achieved nothing. It's true," Wei Yang gave a thumbs up. "A real learning talent - unknown when does the old man plan to win the Jinshi?"

The old man gushed up his blood, watching Wei Yang swaying and leaving, but he was afraid of him carrying a steel knife, so he did not dare to chase him. He just waited for him to walk dozens of feet away before he jumped and cursed: "Mean boy, ignorant thief, I, I am incompatible with you!"
