Chapter 185: Zhuangzi, a free gift

Given Zhao Jin's reputation and status in the city and his friendship with his partners, he said that each person would pay a dividend of 700 taels, and no one would think that he was cheating. Moreover, if he did not pay dividends now, the money would be concentrated and called uniformly will indeed have better results.

Zhao Jin was very clear about these, but what he wanted to do was to let everyone get real benefits. Talking a thousand ten thousand is not as effective as this white silver ingot. Although his friends are different from the rich and poor and have different attitudes towards this money, the 700 taels of cash is real.

Seeing this money, all doubts and rhetoric are of no use. Love and friendship are priceless, but love and friendship are also unmeasurable. Only when everyone gets a piece of money will everyone feel this kind of love and friendship.

After the dividends, no matter whether the money is valued or not, no one will have any doubts about Zhao Jin's failure to treat everyone badly.

These things are thoughtful, but in fact they should be. We have been through life and death together, experienced so many things, and worked hard for a year to start such a big career. Without affecting the development of the winery, we should also give our companions a generous reward.

After leaving Ji's house, it was almost lunch. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the streets of Xuzhou became more and more deserted, but you often hear the sound of firecrackers. The passers-by occasionally passing by the street were also dressed neatly, with more red light than dishes. The various scenes made of a festive atmosphere.

The reason for such a change is that the world has not become better, but the people of Xuzhou who are making a living outside have returned home, which makes this withered city more angry.

Others want to celebrate the New Year, and Zhao’s family also want to celebrate the New Year. Zhao Jin has been busy outside for a few days and will go home on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

He had already prepared a large truck of New Year's goods, including chickens and ducks, bacon and ham, fat sheep that were killed, various fruit snacks, and cloth and other groceries. They were all good things, and he didn't have to spend money to buy these. The shops who came to buy wine naturally knew that they would give gifts during the New Year's Day to make it convenient.

These New Year’s goods partners have divided some of them and left them to the winery and the yard to improve the lives of the servants and the guys. The only thing left is this car. People from up and down suggested that Zhao Jin take it away. It is impossible for them to be busy for a year. Everyone else got the benefits, but the master of the boss went back empty-handed.

Seeing Zhao Jin go home, He Cuihua has to complain a few times, but she was shocked when she saw the big cart of New Year goods. Although Zhao Zhentang was a jailer, his identity as an executioner was taboo, and there were many benefits on weekdays. There were not many people walking around during the New Year, and New Year goods had to be bought at home. Seeing so many things in the door, it was inevitable that she would be happy.

The yamen will be closed on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month. When the 12th day of the first lunar month is reopened, the beheading and death penalty will not occur until the first lunar month. It is the same whether Zhao Zhentang will go or not. It has been very leisurely these days, but Zhao Zhentang is still used to staying in the arrest room, and a few acquaintances chat and drink tea, which is very comfortable.

When he got home and saw the New Year goods being transported, Zhao Zhentang asked Zhao Jin with a smile and said, "Listen to Lao Chen, you give your little brothers 700 taels each. Is this dividend at the end of the year?"

"Seven hundred taels?" This number scared He Cuihua next to him, and his attention suddenly moved away from the New Year's goods on the truck. He was about to speak but was stunned again. Then he muttered: "One person is seven hundred taels, you seven little brothers, this is not five thousand taels, so you give it to it if you say you give it?"

Before Zhao Jin could speak, He Cuihua turned around and swept the cart, calculated roughly, and complained: "It's only how much money it can be given to others, why don't you know how to take care of your family?"

Zhao Jin scratched his head, and his mother's reaction was as expected. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world would react like this when they heard this, but he had a plan and explained with a wry smile: "Mom, the winery is ours. Put the money and other things there. It's too troublesome to move it back home and then move it back."

When he said this, his mother He Cuihua's temper suddenly became much smaller, but she still muttered: "That's too much."

Zhao Jin looked at his father Zhao Zhentang for help. Zhao Zhentang said with a smile: "The child has grown up and he has his own ideas. Besides, Xiao Jin's group of brothers are born and die with him, and these money should be spent."

He Cuihua shook her head and said, "Never both of you guys should go out today. No one will go home. Are the food outside so delicious?"

Zhao Zhentang is fine. After the winery gets busy, Zhao Jin often doesn’t eat at home, which makes his mother talk.

But by chance, I really couldn't eat at home at night. As soon as I had eaten at noon, someone came over with a post saying that Li Shun, the second shopkeeper of Yunshan Travel, would be hosting Mr. Zhao at home to discuss the location of the winery.

The relocation and expansion of the winery is the first priority for Zhao Jin. I have also talked about it several times at home. Although He Cuihua is not satisfied, he can only go there.

Although Li Shun and Zhao Jin had had several dealings with each other and were considered familiars, Zhao Jin did not dare to be careless. He first greeted Chen Huang, and then led Ji Xiang and Liu Yong and twenty servants to the banquet together, which was also to avoid the Hongmen Banquet.

Li Shun's house is a three-entrance house, located near Hubu Mountain, which is the best area in Xuzhou City. According to Zhao Jin's understanding, the industry is all established here for several leading figures in Yunshan Travel and Yunshan Tower.

Seeing Zhao Jin coming, the butler in front of the door hurried in to report. Not long after, Li Shun personally greeted her, smiling and extremely polite.

Although Li Shun is much older than Zhao Jin, with Yunshan Temple as the backstage and is also a figure in Xuzhou City, he also has to be a low-key person in front of Zhao Jin. The reputation of this young master is a life and a prosperous business. He has a sharp knife and a silver price that will overwhelm people. Anyone will know at least.

"These two are my brothers." Zhao Jin introduced Ji Xiang and Liu Yong to Li Shun. Li Shun smiled and said politely. Although the so-called "Xiao Bayi" name is vulgar, there are really many people calling Zhao Jin and the others like that. Li Shun naturally knows the specific identities of these eight people.

"The people below come with me. I'll ask Manager Li to arrange for them to roast the fire." Zhao Jin said casually.

It was natural for the host to arrange the guests' entourage when a wealthy family made it happen. Zhao Jin said this in fact a bit rude, but he specifically emphasized that the host family could not be vague. These twenty well-trained young and strong people stayed in the house. No matter what happened, Zhao Jin and the others could take the initiative.

But everything was normal. Li Shun brought Zhao Jin and the other two to the living room, where the wine and food had been arranged long ago, and there were two beautiful maids serving him. At a glance, you could tell that this situation was prepared for Zhao Jin alone.

After three rounds of drinking, after the courtesy at the banquet, Li Shun waved his hand and asked the maids to step down, and smiled and said the main topic.

"There is a Gaojiazhuang three miles west of Fangcunji. There are more than 200 families there. This farm is next to the official road..."

Although Zhao Jin's activity range was near Xuzhou City, he had a special understanding of the surrounding environment. When he heard the name of this Fangcunji, he could immediately determine the approximate location. He pondered for a while and said, "Isn't that a place where I don't care."

Li Shun nodded with a smile. The so-called three nostalgic refers to the junction of Xuzhou, Huai'an Prefecture, Pizhou and Suzhou in Fengyang Prefecture. Because the three governments have vague power and responsibilities, some illegal people gathered. Li Shun continued: "There are a few sweet water wells here. The terrain is high in the north and the south, and the Yellow River can be avoided even if it is flooding. There are flat rivers around, and there are bustling places like Fangcunji and Shuanggou. Whether it is buying grain or selling wine, it is very convenient. It is exactly where you want Mr. Zhao."

"Why did no one suddenly want such a good place?" Zhao Jin asked with a smile.

Xuzhou has barren land, but also has convenient transportation. Many villages and towns are prosperous because of the intersection of roads. Gaojiazhuang is a land that is not in charge. It is chaotic and chaotic, but it also has the convenience of communicating with the three places, including well water, heaven and earth, and some are also advantageous to avoid floods. What is even more rare is that it is not close to major forces everywhere and is very free. Whether it is used for serious business or for underestimated activities, it is a benefit of choosing one in a hundred.

Such a good place must be fought for by all forces. It is really strange that it will be empty after suddenly. Things are abnormal and will definitely be a monster. Zhao Jin's prudence can certainly be inferred.

Ji Xiang and Liu Yong looked at each other without saying a word. In such occasions, they were always a little nervous. When they saw people like Li Shun chatting and laughing, they always didn't know how to deal with it. Ji Xiang and Liu Yong could also guess the meanings contained in each other's relaxed words, but they couldn't guess thoroughly. But every time Zhao Jin could deal with it calmly, which made them admire them very much. Zhao Jin looked like a peer when he was with them, but once he was in such an occasion, he seemed much more mature and calm.

Hearing Zhao Jin pointing it out, Li Shun smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao, don't ask, I'll say that Gaojiazhuang is the property of the lower court of Xiaoxian County, our temple. It was only on the 19th day of the 12th lunar month. After seeing it, I felt that this farm was prepared for Mr. Zhao's winery, so I asked today."

Before Zhao Jin could speak, Li Shun said again: "I only need two thousand taels of this village. Mr. Zhao, the price is equivalent to giving it for nothing."

Zhao Jin's face had no smile. This was really abnormal. More than 200 households, such a good location, the 2,000 taels of gifts were indeed for free. What is Li Shun's purpose in opening the right way?

"Within three years after the relocation, I will have 30% of the production of Piaoxiang Wine House, and it will be 10% lower than the price given to others." Li Shun put forward his own conditions.
