Guo Song smiled and said, "It's probably no less!"
"It's not just a lot, I can't believe it myself."
Li Wenyu dipped his hands in water and wrote the word "thirty" on the stone table. Guo Song was also shocked. He actually made 300,000 yuan in three and a half months!
"This is still a net profit. After deducting the cost of the wine and the net profit after I bought the wine shop and the wine shop, if you add them all up, it will be almost 400,000 yuan."
Guo Song really didn't expect Meishou Wine to be so profitable. No wonder the imperial court would implement a monopoly on wine later. Wine was indeed a huge profit.
"Then is anyone looking at the liquor store?"
A trace of worry flashed in Li Wenyu's eyes, and he nodded and said: "Of course there are. Some people want to cooperate, some want to acquire. A few days ago, there were more than a dozen ruffians who came to cause trouble. Your senior brother beat them away with sticks. They threatened to retaliate.
To be honest, I'm really worried. It's easy to dodge an open attack and hard to defend against a hidden attack, so I'm afraid they're going to do it."
"Who instigated these dozen ruffians, does Senior Sister know?" Guo Song asked again.
"I know there are people behind them who are instigating them, but there are so many people who want to buy our liquor store. I don't know who it is, but I can find out."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Lei came out of the shop happily, "Madam, is Lao Wu back?"
Li Wenyu's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and she stepped forward and grabbed his ear, "You damn fat man, you ran out to look for flowers and asked Liu again, didn't you?"
"Madam, this is unfair! It was Lao Wu's friend who invited me to watch the polo match."
Guo Song asked curiously: "Brother, who is my friend?"
Zhang Lei broke away from his wife's hand, rubbed his ears and said, "Guo Chongqing, you should know him!"
Guo Song was overjoyed, "He came to see me?"
"I came here a few days ago and brought a man named Liang."
"Is it Liang Wu?" Guo Song interrupted.
"It seems that when they heard that you were not in the capital, they were very disappointed. One little lady was so disappointed that she almost cried. Madam, isn't it?"
Zhang Lei winked at his wife proudly, and Li Wenyu snorted and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Guo Song was immediately elated. Liang Wu actually came to the capital. Needless to say, the young lady must be Liang Ling'er.
"Brother, where do they live?"
"I said, Lao Wu, don't be so impatient, they will stay in the capital for a while!"
Zhang Lei sat down on the stone bench and said: "Let's discuss how to prevent thieves first! In the past ten days, there have always been people who wanted to buy Meishou Liquor Store by force, and even instigated little ruffians to come to the door to cause trouble, but I beat them away with a stick.
."
Guo Song nodded, "Senior sister just told me that when I asked for the Emperor's calligraphy to be used as a store sign, it was also intended to intimidate Xiaoxiao. Since there are still people who refuse to give up, it shows that the background is unusual. I suggest starting from two aspects.
The first is to hire guards. Find a more famous martial arts gym and hire some samurai to guard the shop. I know that many martial arts gyms accept guard services and the prices are not expensive. Secondly, spend money to find someone to investigate and find out who is attacking our shop.
After you find out your idea, tell me and I will solve it."
Zhang Lei waved his hand, "What kind of martial arts school do you need? Just have me here. Can those warriors with martial arts skills like three-legged cats compare with me?"
Li Wenyu immediately beamed and said, "Then we've agreed, you're not allowed to run away again during the day, and you'll have to look after the store for me."
Zhang Lei blinked his eyes. He felt like he was trapped in a cocoon. He said for a long time: "If you make money without spending it, wouldn't you become a miser? Junior brother is right, it is appropriate to spend a small amount of money to eliminate disasters. I have decided to invite the disciples from the West City Martial Arts School.
Come be a guard, I know the owner, he has taken on a lot of business in the West Market."
Li Wenyu was so angry that he pinched his arm hard. This damn fat guy knew how to run out to play all day long.
Guo Song looked amused and said, "Then I'll leave the background investigation to senior sister. This matter must be done as soon as possible."
"I know, we can basically find out in three days."
Putting this matter aside, Guo Song smiled again and said: "There must be others looking for me in the past two days!"
Li Wenyu patted his head and said, "I almost forgot that a young lady came to see you this morning and left a message for you, saying that your sister-in-law is looking for you and asking you to go there as soon as you come back."
Zhang Lei looked confused, "Junior brother, who is our senior aunt?"
"Hey! I'll tell you later. It's best if you don't know me. She just captured me."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside. Li Wenyu chased him and shouted: "Uncle An asked you to find him when you have time."
"I understand, senior sister, let senior brother stay in the shop these two days and don't let him run around!"
Li Wenyu was overjoyed, pinched her husband's fat face, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? It's not what I said."
Zhang Lei's face was full of bitterness, and he thought to himself: 'Junior brother, you have tricked me!'
Guo Song came to Tianlai Music Studio. This time he went through the back door. The person who opened the door for him was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She looked at Guo Song warily, "Who are you looking for?"
Guo Song flashed his gold medal and said, "I'm looking for your aunt!"
"Are you Mr. Guo?"
"Please come in quickly!"
Guo Song walked into the backyard. The backyard was very quiet. Guo Song smiled and asked, "Aren't you here?"
The young lady shook her head, "My aunt is not here at the moment, but she has given instructions. If the young master comes, please sit down for a moment and we will inform her. She will come soon."
"Master, please come this way!"
Guo Song followed her to a living room and sat down. His mother served him a cup of tea and hurried away.
After sitting for less than half an hour, the young lady came back and said, "Sir, please come! Madam is waiting for you in the carriage at the door."
Guo Song got up and came to the back door. Sure enough, a carriage stopped here.
He got on the carriage and saw that the carriage looked like a small reception room with a small table in front of the window. Aunt Gongsun sat opposite the small table. She waved her hand and said, "Sit down!"
Guo Song sat down, Gongsun Auntie gave an order, and the carriage started slowly and drove towards the palace.
"Thank you for your hard work on this trip to Yangzhou." Aunt Gongsun said with a slight smile.
Guo Song saw that Mrs. Gongsun's smile was a little forced, so he asked: "What happened? Sister, you might as well tell me!"
Aunt Gongsun sighed, "It's Yuanzai, you'd better be careful of him."
"Why?" Guo Song frowned.
"He is extremely dissatisfied with your assassination of Tian Shenyu. He said that you acted without authorization and destroyed the trust of the local warlords in the imperial court. He asked the Holy Emperor not to use you anymore. But in fact, Tian Shenyu spent money on him in order to obtain the qualifications for the feudal town.
No less than 50,000 taels of silver, and you have cut off one of his ways of making money."
"Just for this?"
"Not only that, his son was killed by a frightening horse a few days ago. The investigation results are indeed related to Yu Chaoen. Yuan Zai puts at least half of his hatred on you, thinking that you indirectly killed his son."
"Master aunt, you mean Yu Lingxuan?"
Aunt Gongsun nodded, "Exactly!"
Guo Song was silent for a moment and asked: "How much details does he know about me?"
Aunt Gongsun smiled bitterly and said: "He only knows that you have the Emperor's Gold Medal, but he knows nothing about your origins, otherwise he would have hated you to the bone."
"How do you say this? What does it have to do with me?"
"You may not think that he is your master's son-in-law."
"What?"
Guo Song was shocked that Yuan Zai was his master's son-in-law. He hesitated and asked: "My master still has a daughter?"
"Your master has a son and a daughter. His son Wang Zhen is now an official in Hanzhong, and his daughter Wang Yunxiu is Yuan Zai's wife. However, I advise you to ignore this woman. She is arrogant, greedy, and she knows full well that
My father is not dead and has become a monk in Kongtong Mountain, but she has never visited him, and I guess your master has never mentioned that he has a daughter!"
Guo Song nodded, "Master has indeed never mentioned it."
He asked in confusion: "Then why does Yuan Zai hate my master?"
"Yuan Zai was a Jinshi in the first year of Tianbao. He soon married your master's daughter. At that time, your master's prestige was at its peak. Later, something happened in the fourth year of Tianbao. Yuan Zai wanted to enter the Yuan clan genealogy. Yuan Zai wanted to enter the Yuan clan genealogy.
He also agreed, but your master firmly opposed it, because Yuan Zai's surname was not Yuan, but Jing. His stepfather's surname was Yuan, and he was a distant branch of the Yuan family. It was this incident that caused Yuan Zai to hate your master deeply.
After your master died, Yuan Zai was the first to issue a statement, terminating the relationship with your master and slandering your master. Your master's daughter also favored her husband in this matter and betrayed her father. "
Speaking of this, Aunt Gongsun also let out a long sigh. She originally didn't want to mention these past events, but for Guo Song, she still said it.
"But Yuan Zai finally joined the Yuan family!"
Aunt Gongsun nodded, "Without the obstruction of your master, and as his own official position is getting bigger and bigger, the Yuan family is of course willing to accept him. There are benefits for both parties. Yuan Zai has a noble background, and the Yuan family has one more person."
With strong support from the imperial court, he is still the deputy head of the Yuan family, how ridiculous!"
"Will Yuan Zai deal with me?"
Aunt Gongsun shook her head quickly, "Now his mortal enemy is Yu Chaoen. Of course he will not fall out with you at this time. I tell you this to remind you to be careful about Yuan Zai and don't let him catch you. This person is a
Smiling Tiger, no matter how much he hates you in his heart, he will never show it on his face. He will still smile all over his face and express his sincerity to you, but if you really believe in him, you won’t even know how you will die in the future."
Guo Song nodded slowly. He really didn't know anything about these past events unless he told her about them.
"What's the attitude of the emperor? I'm talking about the assassination of Tian Shenyu." Guo Song asked again.
"We are going to see the emperor now. You will know his attitude soon."
