By the way, Zhao Yuan was taken to the East Courtyard. Along the way, Xu San kept telling the rules of the East Courtyard.

When he arrived at the East Courtyard, Zhao Yuan finally understood why Xu San was sure to introduce his job to him.

A hundred meters away from the Wanjia Courtyard, there is a three-meter-high wall that divides the courtyard into two, and the East Courtyard is on the other side. From the outside, the Wanjia Courtyard is a yard, but in fact, it is two independent yards. There is only one iron gate between the two yards. The iron gate is locked and the door is guarded by the doorman, so it is not opened casually.

Through the iron gate, the architectural structure of the East Courtyard is clear at a glance.

Compared with the west courtyard, the east courtyard looks larger and wider. Without a garden pool, there are bluestone slabs, and there will be semi-hidden drainage ditches in the middle. Beside the inner room, there is a row of brick and wood warehouses like a hill. The doors of the warehouse are opening, and the workers are very busy in and out, and they can see the goods inside piled up like mountains.

At the east end of the East Courtyard, there is a space of tens of thousands of square meters. There are some ponies carrying cargo tied to horse piles, and some ponies carrying heavy cargo. Against the wall, there are a row of rooms and horse porches, which are kept dozens of ponies. Several black earth dogs are locked under the porch with iron chains, lying lazily in the grass nest to sleep or chew bones, turning a deaf ear to the busy crowd around.

Busy.

This is Zhao Yuan’s first impression of Wanjia East Courtyard.

There were people coming in and out of the East Courtyard, and there were many businessmen, who either counted the goods, reconciled the accounts, or squatted in a circle and gestured on the ground.

It is obvious that the East Courtyard is Wanjia’s warehouse and the distribution center of Wanjia’s business. Vendors within a radius of hundreds of miles are all purchasing goods here.

Walking into the east courtyard, there was a row of more than thirty houses by the wall to the west, which should be where some servants lived. Zhao Yuan saw that two chefs were slaughtering a goat in the open air, and several women were washing vegetables while the well in the yard.

Overall, although the buildings in the East Courtyard are complex, they are not messy. There are dozens of huge warehouses inside, neatly arranged, and the corridor is opposite to the place where workers live, and the courtyard is separated from the middle. They do not want to be mixed up, they are orderly, and the snow has been removed, which is extremely clean.

There is a manager in charge of the East Courtyard. The housekeeper is named Zhu, with his name, Youfu, short and fat, and full of red face. Xu San said that because of his loud voice, he got the nickname "Zhu Dapao". Some servants usually call him Zhu Dapao, and even Wan Ziyu and Chen family also called him this.

After Xu San took Zhao Yuan to register with Zhu Dapao, he gave instructions and Xu San left.

"Zhao Yuan is right?" Zhu Dapao patted Zhao Yuan.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yuan looked flattered.

"Although that guy Xu San is not kind, I have some friendship with Dapao. Xu San has never arranged anyone to come in over the years. This time it depends on his face and taking care of him. Do you see where?" Zhu Dapao pointed to the corridor opposite.

"The Porch?"

"Yes, horse gallery. From now on, you will take care of those ponies with Jia Shizi, clean them up every morning and evening, then feed them some feed, and take medicine when you are sick. Just ask Jia Shizi if you don't know anything."

"Fake deaf?" Zhao Yuanyi was stunned.

"No, he is really deaf or mute. His surname is Jia, and we all call him Jia Zhenzi. Don't worry, he understands in his heart. If you don't understand anything, he will tell you." Zhu Dapao laughed and walked towards the corridor first, Zhao Yuan followed closely behind.

At this time, Jia Shizi in Zhu Dapao's mouth was bent down and added feed to the manger outside. Zhu Dapao walked behind him and slapped him hard, which scared Jia Shizi, who was busy, and tried to hit him with the spoon in his hand.

Zhu Dapao gestured at Jia Shizi a few times. Jia Shizi showed an excited expression on his face, danced and made a "yayayayayayaya" sound in his mouth, and seemed very angry.

"Hehe, he said his health is OK and no one needs help." Zhu Dapao told Zhao Yuan.

"...It's okay." Zhao Yuan looked at Jia Zhenzi, who was so thin that he was only left with bones.

"Mrs. I have asked him to retire and let him live a long life, but he can't bear to leave this courtyard, and the wife has no choice but to let him keep it first. Not long ago, Jia Shizi fell seriously ill, and the mistress told her to help with the right person first and adapt. These short horses are not easy to greet. If you bully someone, you should be more careful."

"Then...that..."

"It's okay, I told him that I can't miss my mistress and let him take you with me first. Although he doesn't want to, he has agreed."

"Oh...thank you Mr. Zhu."

"It's just called Brother Pao. Master Zhu is so ugly. You're here. There are two rooms on the horse gallery. Jia Shizi lives in one room, and there is one empty room for miscellaneous items. You can clean it up first. Jia Shizi will take you to collect daily necessities such as bedding and greetings."

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Pao."

"Xiao Zhao, do it well. After doing it, I will stay here in the future and marry you a wife."

"Thank you, Brother Pao."

"Okay, you clean the room first, and the wages will be calculated today. However, you can stop working and be familiar with the environment. The construction will officially start tomorrow. If there are people who are not in enough hands and have quick hands and feet, this yard will not be idle."

“Yes yes.”

After Zhu Dapao left, Zhao Yuan saw Jia Shizi ignored him, so he walked around the corridor and found two rooms. One of them was empty, the bed board was filled with some debris, and the roof was covered with spider webs.

Zhao Yuan moved some miscellaneous items to the feed room next to him. Just as he cleaned the room, Jia Shizi stood behind him like a ghost.

"Yayayaya..."

Looking at Jia Shizi's gesture, although Zhao Yuan did not understand the specific meaning of the action, he knew that he would take him to collect bedding and other items.

Jia Shizi actually towed a cart.

Zhao Yuan followed Jia Shizi to the warehouse behind and found a warehouse manager. He opened the door of a warehouse. It was filled with quilts and various cloths, which were piled up like mountains, giving people a very shocking visual impact.

With Jia Shizi's inquiries, he received two sets of bedding and greetings. Then, Zhao Yuan signed and stamped an account book, and Jia Shizi and the warehouse manager also signed their own names.

After carrying the bedding gifts onto the cart, Jia Shizi took him to find several other warehouse managers, received some daily toiletries, changing clothes and other items. After finishing, he dragged the cart's belongings back to the cart.

When collecting daily necessities here, Zhao Yuan had a general understanding of Wanjia's business.

Wanjia has a wide range of operations, including dishes, pottery, quilts, cloth, clothes, needles, threads, shoes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and some iron tools, sickles, farm tools, candles. Basically, there are all kinds of things that are closely related to a normal family.

From Zhao Yuan's perspective, the projects run by Wanjia are all cheap products with low added value. They seem to have a large scale in business, but in fact they have extremely meager interests and are completely based on quantity to win.

After returning to the horse hall, Jia Shizi ignored Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan laid the bed alone and changed into a brand new set of cotton coat, cotton pants and cotton shoes.

Looking at the clean sheets and warm bedding and feeling the softness of the clothes, Zhao Yuan felt like he was a different life.

Now, I've settled down.

After a while of daze, Zhao Yuan walked out to stroll around the East Courtyard, nodded and bowed, and became familiar with some people.

After careful observation, Zhao Yuan found that from time to time, some farmers would carry grain and firewood to Wanjia East Courtyard. After asking, they found out that these farmers rent Wanjia land. In autumn and winter, they would carry grain or supplies needed by Wanjia to pay for rent. When they go home, they would bring some horse manure. Of course, horse manure needs to be exchanged for food. In Xujiaqiao, fertilizer is a precious thing.

This Wanjia East Courtyard is like a huge machine running constantly, and everyone is the gear inside this machine.

No wonder so many warehouses are needed.

Zhao Yuan shook his head. Judging from his standards, this is the most primitive and backward business model, and the returns are extremely slow. The biggest advantage is the word "stable". Although the profits in these businesses are meager, the risks are extremely small.

He wandered until noon, and Jia Shizi greeted him for dinner.

The food is good. In addition to large pots of sour beans and seasonal vegetables, everyone can get a large bowl of fragrant mutton soup, and the broth with scallion floating onions, and there are also a few pieces of fat mutton.

When dividing the mutton soup, Zhao Yuan found that there was obviously more mutton in his bowl than those workers.

I serve the rice myself and eat as much as I want.

Judging from the envious eyes of some farmers and the superior eyes of the East Court workers when eating, working in Wanjia is very respectful.
