Chapter 40: The profits can be shared but not alone!

The 28th year of Kaiyuan, September 24th, the auspicious day of the zodiac.

It is suitable for: sacrifice, opening the market, and receiving wealth.

Don’t: Beware of villains!

...

At dawn, it was just dawn, and long dragons lined up in front of the gate of Zuixian Tower, including gorgeously dressed young masters, big-bellied businessmen, and even blond and blue-eyed Western Region Hu people... they all came for Erguotou.

At the moment of Chen Shi, as soon as the gate of Zuixian Tower opened, guests immediately flocked in. Before they could sit down, they started to yell and order wine:

"Waiter, come a table of sheep mats, and then two pots of Erguotou. I want to taste this kind of wine. Is it true that the mouth is like fire and the lower abdomen is like a knife as the legendary one?"

"Okay, I'll be satisfied with you."

"Waiter, one table full fish banquet, two pots of Erguotou, serve wine first and then serve dishes, faster, understand?"

"clear."

"Waiter, hurry up and have a drink...what, I'm too busy... Forget it, the wine cellar is there, I'll just move it myself."

...

The business of Zuixianlou is no longer enough to describe it as hot. It can only be said to be crazy. The upstairs and downstairs are full, and even the corridors are crowded with people, but a large number of customers are still pouring in, far exceeding the capacity of Zuixianlou.

All the guests are here, and all the God of Wealth are the ones. There is no reason not to accept them, but how to receive them?

Jianguan Jia was so quick that he ordered the inn to be cleaned up, and all the guest rooms of all sizes were converted into private rooms for dining, so he reluctantly arranged the guests.

The Erguotou in the cellar is even a large tank. A large tank is lifted out, but it still cannot be served for the guests to drink. Some customers were impatient and actually brought the wine by themselves. This move is really inappropriate, but in order to taste the peerless wine - Erguotou, it is worth it.

In short, it’s a big sale in Erguotou, and Zuixianlou makes a big profit.

If you make money from Zuixianlou, it means that Li Zhao makes money.

Making money is a happy thing!

But, things in the world are always positive and negative. Some people are happy, so naturally some people are unhappy.

Who is it?

Of course it is Li De, the man and woman of Zheng!

...

Li De lives on Ximennei Street, the county town, with three courtyards in front and back, with blue bricks and gray tiles. He is quite grand and not inferior to ordinary officials!

In the living room, Li Deda carried his hands behind his back, and turned around in circles like an old donkey pulling a mill. His face was full of anger, there was a pool of water stains under his feet, and two broken celadon tea cups... Zheng sat next to him, with anger on his face.

Previously, he returned the Li family's ancestral home and winemaking workshop to Li Zhao, with the intention of finding a scapegoat and killing people with a knife.

Unexpectedly, this kid had some skills. In less than a month, he not only brought the winemaking workshop back to life, but also made a good wine, Erguotou, but also climbed to the little Duke of Qi, Cui Zongzhi.

I heard that now Li Zhao and Cui Zongzhi are in the same car and seat are in the same seat... They have reached the point where they are inseparable, and they are three points closer than their own brothers!

With the Duke of Qi as his backer and using Erguotou to accumulate wealth, it is estimated that Li Zhao will be able to make a fortune soon... At that time, would there be a way out for them and their husbands?

"Ba—Ba!"

Thinking of this, Li De slapped himself twice, and felt extremely upset. This really corresponds to the old saying: Shoot himself in the foot!

"Madam, let's take action first. As long as the boy's life is borne, we will not be afraid of scheming the score later."

"Oh, it's too late, Li Zhao is already full of wings. Now he is a figure in Wu'an County. With our strength, we may not be able to do anything to him."

"We are not strong enough, so we can ask my father-in-law for help. He has been in charge of the yamen for many years, has a wide connection and many means. Isn't it easy to deal with a child with a yellow mouth?"

...

The father-in-law Li De mentioned is Zheng's biological father, named Zheng Ji, who served as the county magistrate in Wu'an County Yamen, and is the second-in-command second only to the county magistrate!

He is sinister and cunning, cruel and ruthless. During his ten years as the county magistrate: he embezzled and accepted bribes, took advantage of robbery, robbed men and women, and bullied good people... He has done countless bad things. Whoever dares to resist will immediately tidy up the charges and throws them into the prison. It is said that at least half of the prisoners in Wu'an County were sent in by this county magistrate Zheng with despicable means, and there are also many of them who died tragically.

It would be fine if he was full of bad water, but this Zheng County Magistrate also likes to be false and righteous. He always looks like he is smiling, so the people give him a nickname: Smiling Tiger.

If this "smiling tiger" is willing to take action, he will make up some charges and throw Li Zhao into prison is not difficult, and killing people to silence their corpses and destruction of traces can also be done.

Li Zhao is the only seed of the King of Wu. He has no uncles or uncles, no brothers or children or nephews. He is young and has not yet married yet. If he dies, the Li family's ancestral home and winemaking workshop will naturally return to Li De and Zheng's hands.

But after repeated thinking, Zheng shook his head helplessly: "Li Zhao and Xiao Qi have a deep relationship with each other. If something happens to the former, the latter will definitely intervene, and that will be troublesome."

"You Dao is a powerful dragon that does not suppress local snakes. No matter how powerful the Duke of Qi is, can he still manage the things on the ground in Wu'an County?"

"Oh, my husband doesn't know anything. A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. That only means that this dragon is not strong enough... The little Duke of Qi not only has hereditary titles, but also a son-in-law of the current dynasty. His future is limitless. Even if ten fathers are combined, they can't beat someone a little finger. Such a person must not be provoked, otherwise there will be a big disaster!

Fortunately, the Duke of Qi was just out for a trip, and it would probably not take long to return to Chang'an City. At that time, I would ask my father to deal with Li Zhao. As long as I take a closer approach and find a few scapegoats, even if the Duke of Qi found out later, I would not blame us, haha!"

Although Zheng is a female, she is more scheming and toxic than Li De.

"My husband, don't be idle either. You can go to restaurants and restaurants in the city and do something by the way."

"What to do?"

"Hehe, of course it's a fan of the cold wind, a ghost fire, and spread rumors everywhere... If things go well, maybe there is no need for us to take action, and someone will deal with Li Zhao, the little bastard!"

"Oh, what does Madam mean to kill someone with a knife?"

Li De was not stupid either. He instantly understood his wife's intentions, and then extended his thumbs up in admiration.

Now the business of Zuixianlou is booming and he makes a lot of money, but other restaurants in the city are neglected and their business is not as good as before.

As the saying goes, "Shut down people's wealth is like killing parents." The owners, shopkeepers, and big and small guys in those restaurants must be extremely angry.

At this time, as long as someone fanned the flames, the anger in people's hearts would turn into crazy revenge, setting fires, poisoning, killing people... everything can be done.

The little Duke of Qi, Cui Zongzhi, is powerful and powerful. Maybe no one dares to do anything to him, but Li Zhao...even if he is lucky enough to die, he will probably have to take off his skin, right?

This plan is extremely vicious!

...

Unfortunately, before Li De's ghost fire could be lit, it was extinguished by a heavy rain.

On the third day of Erguotou’s big sale, Zuixianlou announced the news: he is willing to share this kind of wine with dozens of other restaurants and restaurants, so that everyone can make money together.

The news came out and there was an uproar.

People were shocked and praised Zuixianlou for his behavior: he valued righteousness over profit, and was a role model.

The dozens of restaurants and restaurants were even more grateful to Zuixianlou. The people in charge all patted their chests and promised: In the future, everyone would make money together and bear the matter together when they had something to do!

When Li De heard the news, he threw more than a dozen tea cups, but there was no way to do it. He could only be secretly angry and held back!

...

Late at night, in the Drunken Fairy Tower.

Manager Jia is fiddling with the calculation of the plan and the account book in the other hand, calculating today's income.

The dozen or so young men next to him counted the entire box of gold, silver and copper coins, and their hands were so tired that they cramped. Only then did they count it clearly.

In just one day, I made 2880 guan, which was more than half a month's income.

After making so much money, I naturally have to reward the guys. Jianguan Jia made a decision on the spot and distributed the 80-ton coins in the account to the guys.

There are more than 40 guys in Zuixian Tower. On average, one person can get two jin of money, which is enough to buy ten stones of rice.

The guys were naturally grateful for the reward, but they also had a little doubt in their hearts: "Why do you share Erguotou with other restaurants? If our Zuixianlou family monopolizes it, the money earned may have increased several times!"

"Haha, making money is naturally a good thing, but don't forget a famous saying: profits can be shared but not alone, plan can be few but not many; profits alone will be defeated, and plan will be leaked."

"Shopkeeper, what does it mean? The young people don't understand?"

"The meaning of these sentences is: benefits can be distributed to other people, but they should not possess them alone. If you own them, you will definitely have no profit to make in the end. When planning things, you don't need to think about them together. Once there are too many people, it is easy to reveal the secret.

Think about it, if our Zuixianlou family monopolizes the benefits, will there be a way out for other restaurants and restaurants? Those who do not leave a way out for others will sooner or later will be dead... It is better to be generous and make money together, so that we can be safe and sound!"

...

"The clever shopkeepers, the young guys have received the teachings."

"Bah, you guys have flattered me. This shopkeeper is okay to calculate the small accounts. How could he have such a clear insight? This is what Mr. Zhao said!"

Speaking of Li Zhaolai, Jianguan Jia was convinced, and he was almost offering the tablet of immortality and burning incense and bowing every day.

At the beginning, I had an objection to the sharing of Erguotou.

It was Li Zhao who explained the interests in detail and then his elm-wood head was revealed... Mr. Zhao is really a master. Not only is he smart, but his eyes are long-term!

"Shopkeeper, where did our little prince go?"

"Oh, the young master thought the inn was too noisy, so he moved to Qianlonggang to live with Mr. Zhao. They got together, and some of them must have had fun!"
