Li Dacai said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Mr. Zhang Yu may be confused for a moment. I will go and persuade him to withdraw his resignation."
Zhu Bai: "That's very good."
Li Dacai asked tentatively: "What about the dog..."
Zhu Bai: "Whenever Mr. Zhang comes back, Mr. Li will report to the Guan Ya Bureau."
Li Dacai hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I obey."
-----
Zhang Yu returned to Zhu Bai's palace in the afternoon, feeling a little worried.
Zhu Bai already understood the matter in detail, so there was no need to force him to tell him. He only comforted him and said: "It's good to be back. Don't think so much, just do your best."
Zhang Yu's return was immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lao Zhu was also a little surprised when he heard that Zhu Bai agreed to Li Dacai's son entering Guanya: This little fox was forced to compromise? Or did he accept a bribe?
It was in order to prevent his relatives from interfering in the official affairs that he let Zhu Bai, a child, preside over such a large situation.
If Zhu Bai was like this, he would be so disappointed.
He pondered for a long time and said to Erhu: "Pay close attention to this kid's movements. We suspect that he is holding back his ultimate move."
-----
Li Dacai's son Li Shimao came to the Guanya Bureau in the afternoon.
Zhu Bai pointed out the most experienced foreman and said, "You should learn to be a broker from this foreman first."
Li Shimao frowned: "In my capacity, I should at least start as the foreman."
Who are you?!
Zhu Bai secretly rolled his eyes and said coolly: "I'm new here and there's no foreman to guide me. Do you know what you're going to do?"
Li Shimao was speechless and could only follow the foreman down.
The foreman, whose surname was Cai Ben, was a hawker in the city. He was chosen by Zhu Bai and entered the tooth shop, where he was able to show his skills. He was extremely grateful to Zhu Bai and was loyal to him.
He had been angered by the Li family before, but now that Zhu Bai had told him in advance to handle Li Shimao properly, he would naturally not be lenient.
However, Zhu Bai also said: You must be polite to Li Shimao, and you must stab the knife gently, so that it hurts but you can't catch Guan Ya's fault.
Foreman Cai took Li Shimao and changed into the uniform of a dental shop boy. They arrived at the entrance of the dental shop and said: "Master Li, today you first learn how to introduce customers to real estate transactions."
Li Shimao frowned: "Why don't you learn how to trade goods?"
Foreman Cai said: "This is your first day here. There are many types of goods sold, and there are hundreds of grades and prices. It is easy to make mistakes. You should learn the simple ones first."
Li Shimao: "What should I do?"
Foreman Cai: "You stand at the door first. If a guest comes, be sure to greet him warmly and ask him whether he wants to buy a house or sell a house. If he is selling a house, register the information clearly and post it on the board. If he is buying a house, take him to see the house for sale first.
Check the information on the residence to see if it is suitable. If it is not suitable, just like the seller, register the information and post it on the buyer's board."
Li Shimao was unwilling when he heard this: "How can I, the dignified young master of the Li family, receive guests at the door like a brothel boy? This insults the reputation of my Li family."
Foreman Cai smiled: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, on the first day I came to Guanya, I did this job all the time. This way I can get familiar with it the fastest. And we calculate the commission based on the odd number of successful referrals. Mr. Li doesn't solicit customers, so he won't be able to pass the performance appraisal at the end of the month.
It’s hard for me to explain to King Xiang.”
When Li Shimao heard this, he couldn't give Zhu Bai an excuse to kick him out, so he could only stand by the door.
He has never served anyone since he was a child, let alone be so humble and make fun of others.
Twenty or thirty customers came in an hour, but no one paid him any attention.
Foreman Cai asked Li Shimao to take the buyer to see the house.
I traveled to several places in the morning.
I ate some hasty meals at noon and came back in the afternoon.
Under the bright sun, I was dizzy from running back and forth, and my whole body was covered in stinky sweat.
When I return to Guanya, I still have to sweep the floor, take out the trash, and wash tea cups.
Li Shimao's son was well-dressed and well-fed, but he had never experienced such hardship before. On his first day home, he collapsed and wolfed down his dinner as if he hadn't eaten in eight hundred years.
After staying up for three days, Li Shimao finally couldn't bear it anymore and went home and said to Li Dacai: "I'm not going, I'm not going. I'm afraid this little devil is deliberately tormenting me. What kind of agent is he doing?! He's clearly working as a servant!"
!”
Li Dacai was very angry when he heard this, and came to see Zhu Bai again: "Your Highness, is there something I haven't done well yet?"
Zhu Bai thought for a while and said: "Ah, by the way, I have taken a liking to one of your houses."
Damn, this is a naked request for bribes.
But as long as his son can get into the official dental bureau, even if he becomes the chief of the first-level official dental bureau in the future, such a small mansion can be earned back in a month or two.
Li Dacai suppressed his heartache and hurriedly handed over his hands: "The house will be given to King Xiang."
Zhu Bai tilted his head and looked at him: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
Li Dacai was stunned: Didn't you want it yourself?
Zhu Bai said: "If I accept it, others will say that Mr. Li got in through bribery, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Li Dacai: "What do you mean by His Highness?"
Zhu Bai: "Of course I will buy from you."
Li Dacai suddenly realized: If you buy it at a low price, if Lao Zhu asks about it later or if the official knows about it, he will have nothing to say.
Zhu Bai seemed to have read through his mind and said: "I will buy it from you at the market price."
He sneered secretly: I bought it from you at a low price, and then you turned around and said I was blackmailing you. I don’t lack the hundreds of taels of silver. How could I be so stupid and leave the clue in your hands.
Li Dacai breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is wise."
I originally planned to give it to Zhu Bai. Since Zhu Bai was willing to buy it at the market price, why wouldn't he want to.
Zhu Bai asked Li Dacai again: "Does Zhang Yu owe you rent money?"
Li Dacai hurriedly said: "I will spare him immediately."
Zhu Bai stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the IOU."
Li Dacai immediately sent someone back to get the house deed and IOU, and followed the procedures to pay the tooth money, deed tax, and apply for the red deed.
Zhu Bai collected the house deed and the IOU: "The deposit Mr. Zhang gave you should be enough to cancel the IOU."
"Yes, yes, that's what I told Mr. Zhang. But he..." Li Dacai nodded quickly and asked again, "What about the dog..."
Zhu Bai explained patiently: "Master Li. Mr. Li still doesn't know anything about the rules of the dental shop. He can't even be a broker. How can he be a foreman? You have to eat the food one bite at a time, otherwise he will choke to death."
As long as he is willing to do it, how can I treat him badly?"
In fact, the Li family has not dared to move around since Zhu Di beat the shopkeeper to death last time.
No one wants to do business with his family anymore.
Li Dacai discussed with Concubine Li Shu: These small businesses are all about making small profits, are meaningless, and have ruined their reputation.
In the future, we will need to do big business.
After Zhu Bai had built all the government offices and banks across the country and straightened them out, they tried to force Zhu Bai to seize the feudal vassal and seize these two "money trees".
If you don't familiarize yourself with the procedures of the Guanya Bureau as soon as possible, even if you grab it when the time comes, you won't be able to operate it.
With Concubine Li Shu in charge in the palace, Zhu Bai did not dare to treat Li Shimao badly.
