Traveling through ancient times

Wu Yong's pupils constricted. Why was it this female devil?

Scenes of Gu Dalian unilaterally beating up the thugs emerged in his mind, as if that shadowless kick would kick him in the next second!

His arrogant expression froze on his face, and he cursed in his heart, "Mom, you bitch!" He hadn't gotten any specific information about this woman yet, and now he met his enemy again!

"Damn it, you dare to call me a crab, I will..."

Wu Yong wanted to be more tough. He couldn't lose face as Young Master Wu. However, when he saw Gu Dalian's sinister look, his scalp went numb and he changed the subject!

"…How about you talk to me about this deal?…"

Since I can't beat him now, I might as well disrupt old man Huangmi's business and see if he doesn't pack up and leave!

"No big deal! I just like dealing with this boss. At least I can get a sense of security from him! Who the hell are you to get involved here?"

Gu Dalian snorted coldly. It was obvious that Wu Shaoming wanted to drive out the shopkeeper and take over the store. He was dreaming!

"You'd better take your men out now, otherwise..."

Gu Dalian stared at Wu Yong with cold eyes, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she could break his leg bones at the next moment!

Wu Yong wanted to hold on a little longer, but the girl's aura was so strong that he couldn't even straighten his back!

"I'm hungry, let me go eat something first, old man Mi, I'll come back later!"

Waving his hand, Wu Yong walked out first with a gloomy look. A group of servants who had been kicked by Gu Dalian ran out in a hurry with their tails between their legs!

Shopkeeper Mi said apologetically, "Miss, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. If you're afraid of trouble, let's not do business together!"

Gu Dalian raised her eyes and smiled: "Boss, do you think I am the kind of person who is afraid of trouble?"

"It's just that this kind of shit, Young Master Wu, may not kill anyone, but it's disgusting. If you keep going like this, your business will fail sooner or later. I wonder what you're going to do!"

Shopkeeper Mi smiled bitterly: "To be honest, young lady, if it weren't for my wife and children, I would have killed this bastard a long time ago! This guy wants my family's secret recipe for dyeing and weaving cloth!"

"I have actually been counting the inventory these days, and even our dyeing workshop has been shut down for two days! ... But I am unwilling to let my ancestral workshop be destroyed in my hands!"

Shopkeeper Mi's eyes were filled with hatred, his hands were clenched into fists, and his lips trembled slightly:

"I see that the young lady doesn't seem to be afraid of Wu Yong. I wonder if the young lady is interested in taking over our Mi Family Cloth Shop and Workshop?"

Gu Dalian didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but who would reject a benefit that was delivered to her doorstep? As for Wu Yong, she was really not afraid since she had the beautiful county magistrate protecting her!

After a moment of silence, Gu Dalian said, "I wonder how much inventory you have? How much does this cloth shop cost? And the workshop?"

"I still have 52 rolls of lining coarse cotton cloth, 63 rolls of fine cotton cloth, 120 rolls of coarse cloth of various colors, 343 rolls of fine cloth, 165 rolls of silk, and a small amount of 198 rolls of high-end brocade!"

"My father bought the cloth shop for 1,200 taels. The various shelves, doors and windows that I bought later are still counted as 1,200!"

"The workshop is about two miles away from here, not far from the city, and covers an area of ​​eight mu. At that time, land outside the city was not expensive. The cost of building a workshop was about two hundred taels. The expensive part was my family's secret recipe for weaving and dyeing cloth, which cost eight hundred taels!"

Gu Dalian silently calculated that the price Manager Mi asked for was not high, and it could even be said that he was selling it at a low price!

"How much do you plan to sell the cloth for?"

"To be honest, young lady, these cloths are being watched by Mr. Wu's men, so we definitely can't take them away. It would be better to sell them to you at a low price as a favor, so that I can feel better. Just give me 100 taels!"

Gu Dalian took a look at the cloth and found that the quality was indeed good, especially the more than one hundred pieces of high-quality brocade, which cost more than a hundred taels!

It can be seen that the shopkeeper really wants to give Young Master Wu a chance even if it means breaking his teeth! Gu Dalian smiled slightly:

"Okay, deal! But how do you plan to live after selling your ancestral property?"

Shopkeeper Mi's face was full of bitterness:

"I've been running the cloth shop for so many years, but besides selling cloth, I really don't know what I should do. Even if I take my family out now, I can only take it one step at a time!"

Gu Dalian pondered and said, "Why don't I hire you and make you the shopkeeper here? The base salary is three taels a month, and I'll take one tael for every hundred taels! Are you willing?"

Shopkeeper Mi's eyes lit up. He never expected that after reaching the end of his rope, there would be a new hope.

This salary is much higher than that of an ordinary shopkeeper. After all, he knows how much cloth can be sold in a day!

Shopkeeper Mi nodded repeatedly: "Young Master, I do, I do!"

After that, Manager Mi no longer opened the shop. He closed the door and took Gu Dalian to the workshop. His home was in a row of houses on the west side of the workshop!

The workers were his three sons, two daughters-in-law, and four or five other workers!

Gu Dalian was very satisfied with the environment here, so he went to the county government with Manager Mi again, gave the other party 2,300 taels of silver notes, and signed the house deed. Then he asked Chief Clerk Wang:

"Uncle Wang, is my brother, the county magistrate, here?"

The corners of Wang Zhubu's mouth twitched, and then continued to twitch. He straightened his expression and said, "My Lord just returned to the yamen, and he should be resting in the back hall now!"

Gu Dalian smiled and said to Shopkeeper Mi:

"Let's go, Uncle Mi, go meet my beautiful brother!"

Mi Rui was stunned. He didn't expect that the boss's backer was actually the county magistrate.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. In Shannan County, except for a few rare families, only the newly arrived county magistrate can suppress Wu Bawang!

He followed Gu Dalian in a stammering voice. Gu Dalian walked outside the house familiarly and called out:

"Brother Beauty, I'm here to see you!"

Wu Shi was considering whether to drink a glass of the good wine sent by Miss Gu, when someone outside the door called "Beauty Brother". His heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. He covered his chest and said softly to the person outside the door:

"come in!"

The pretty girl was smiling. Although he knew that she was exaggerating to please him, he didn't mind it at all. He even looked a little excited!

"What's the matter with you girl?"

Gu Dalian pouted and said, "Brother Beauty, can't I come if I'm fine?"

Wu Shi raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face and said, "You can come, but it seems like you have something to do every time you come!"

Gu Dalian immediately smiled and said, "Brother Beauty, I, your sister, am here to help you solve your problems!"

Wu Shixin said: Little girl, you have more tricks to play with!

"What worries and difficulties do I have?"

"Brother Beauty, haven't you heard the saying in Shannan County: It is better to offend the county magistrate ten times than to offend County Magistrate Wu once!"

Wu Shi has only been here for a few months, and he has been busy trying to find ways to develop farming. He also takes time to secretly investigate the secret lines of Wu Guogong's Mansion, and has neglected people's livelihood!

Wu Shi's pounding heart calmed down after Gu Dalian poured a bucket of cold water on him:

"You mean that County Magistrate Wu has done many evil things and the people are afraid of him?"

"Yes, his son is a pervert. He bullies men and women, bullies people in the market, and forces people to buy and sell things. I have encountered him several times!"

Wu Shi was shocked. Could it be that County Magistrate Wu wanted to control everything in Shannan County? Then, since his surname was Wu, could he be related to the Wu Mansion?
