Ling Yun patted Yang Ergou on the shoulder and said softly, "Okay, since you choose to follow me, you will be your own person from now on. Get up first. I have something for you to do."
After Yang Ergou sat down, Ling Yun thought for a long time before giving instructions, "You will tell the innkeeper directly later that you will quit your job at this inn and then look for a store in Annan Fucheng. Remember, the flow of people in the store must be
It is large, and the price must be controlled within one thousand taels of silver. If you cannot buy it, you can also rent it on lease."
He has not visited Annan Fucheng and knows nothing about the prices of stores in areas with high traffic.
Therefore, when instructing Yang Ergou, he did not set the threshold to death, but left room for negotiation, so that Yang Ergou could have room to perform.
After all, this is the first time he has done something for himself. If he sets the threshold to death, it will be a good thing if he succeeds. If he fails, it will probably damage his self-confidence.
The deeper meaning of Ling Yun's words is equivalent to buying if you can afford it, and renting if you can't afford it. The most important thing is that it is suitable.
After all, neither of them knows whether one thousand taels of silver can buy a good store.
If that doesn't work, you can only settle for the next best thing and rent it out through leasing.
Anyway, he must take advantage of this period of time to close down the store, the sooner the better.
Ling Yun paused for a moment and said, "And exchange all these silver coins for banknotes."
He divided the money he won into two types, one was silver and the other was silver notes.
The total of the banknotes and what I brought was nine hundred taels, and the silver taels were more than seven hundred taels.
Ling Yun signaled Yang Ergou to put away the silver coins that were to be exchanged for silver notes. Just in case he couldn't remember, he finally asked, "Can you hear clearly what I said before?"
Yang Ergou pulled away from the stool, stood up, bowed to him and said, "Go back to the young master, please listen carefully."
He had been listening carefully just now without daring to lose his mind in the slightest. This was the first thing the young master ordered, and he had to get it done no matter what.
If he accidentally made a mistake or messed up, he was afraid that it would leave a bad impression in front of the young master, so he secretly made up his mind to make the young master completely satisfied with this matter.
"Well! In the future, when there are no outsiders, there is no need to be polite."
Ling Yun was disgusted by the fact that he always had to salute when he saw him, so he stopped saying it in front of outsiders. If there were no outsiders, there would be no need.
Ling Yun finally patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Since you have chosen to follow me, I, Ling Yun, dare not say what I can give you now, but I can guarantee that as long as you work hard for me, whatever you want will be given to me in the future."
I can give you everything."
When Yang Ergou heard this, his whole body felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he was full of energy. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's the young master. I will do my best to do my job."
Compared to brainwashing, it seems that painting a pie is more attractive.
Isn’t it just a matter of one sentence to create passion?
Ling Yun waved to him and said, "Go!"
After receiving Ling Yun's instructions, Yang Ergou picked up the seven hundred taels of silver and went out happily.
The first stop he wanted to go to was, of course, the ticket office.
Let’s talk about Li Mansion in the east of Annan City after the announcement.
Li Zhiming was confident and calm at first, but when the messenger came, he was instantly panicked when he learned that he was only in second place.
At this time, he stopped fanning and stopped touching the tea. He stood aside and muttered to himself, "How could I be second? How could I be second..."
When the two elders of the Li family saw this, they were about to step forward to comfort them, but were stopped by Li Zhili, who was standing next to him.
The two of them didn't know why, so Li Zhili had to explain, "Father, mother, Zhiming wants to go smoothly. If he doesn't experience a setback, he may become even more arrogant in the future. Such a character is really not suitable for an official. Although he won the second place this time,
Maybe it will be a happy event, just let him recover on his own and worry about it tomorrow."
It is hard to know whether a horse is racing or losing a horse, and sometimes failure is not necessarily a disaster.
The two elders hesitated to speak, and looked at Li Zhiming with distress, but Li Zhili's words alerted them, and in the end they did not go up to comfort him, so they left together.
After the two left, my sister also left.
After a long time, Li Zhili stepped forward and patted Li Zhiming on the shoulder, comforting him and saying, "Brother, I also know the sadness in your heart. My brother also came here like this three years ago. Sometimes, losing to others is not always the case."
It’s a shameful thing, it’s a shameful thing to keep losing to others.”
He understood Li Zhiming's mood at the moment.
Three years ago, like his younger brother, he was arrogant and ended up in second place.
Only in these years did he realize that he should not underestimate the people of the world, otherwise he would be caught off guard.
Li Zhiming turned around, lay on Li Zhili, hugged his head and cried, "Brother, my brother feels uncomfortable. How can there be someone more powerful than me in this Annan province?"
Li Zhili patted his shoulder gently and comforted him in every possible way, "The world is so big and full of wonders, and we are just a drop in the ocean. Don't underestimate the people in the world. You must learn to treat people in this world with a normal heart, no matter what happens
You have to face everything calmly, even if you can't bear it, you have to bear it with all your heart. Otherwise, you will have to hit walls everywhere in the future."
Although Li Zhili spoke sincerely, Li Zhiming couldn't listen at this time. He kept crying, crying heartbreakingly, and still refused to believe the fact that he was only second.
...
Not to mention Lingyun or Li Mansion, but the entire Annan Mansion on the day of the announcement.
Those who won were naturally filled with joy and wished they could stand at the tallest lighthouse in Annan City and sing a song, or ride horses all over Annan City to let the world know that they had won.
It's just that the treatment of this horse riding ten miles long street is the treatment that only those who have won the Jinshi and are in the top three can get it. Now they are just wishful thinking.
Speaking of the person who failed the exam, he was naturally devastated and disheartened. Some even cursed the examiner for being blind and didn't even read his article, or he looked up to the sky and sighed, lamenting the unfairness of his fate.
..
Whether they were yelling at each other or expressing emotions, all those who failed were left with painful runny noses and grief.
Some even couldn't accept the fact that they were not on the list. When the list was announced in the afternoon, they crowded into the crowd and rushed to the front.
From top to bottom, back and forth, over and over again, carefully, reading each name three or five times.
At this time, they were just hoping that the official mission would be missed.
It's just a pity that even if they looked through the posted list, they couldn't find their own names.
These people were once again hit by the news of failing the exam, as if the last straw in their hearts had been broken. Their eyes were dull and empty, and they were walking around like zombies.
Aimless, not knowing where to go, pedestrians on the road can't help but feel horrified when they see it...
