From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 67 King Heng's Interest

"First, let me answer the first question of this lady. Because of the urgency of the matter, the specific working time will be three days later."

Sun Shan continued to explain without pausing, "Because we first need to recruit people and provide them with some training before they can officially take up their posts."

"In addition, we also need to purchase various cleaning equipment, as well as custom-made professional clothes, shoes and hats."

When Sun Shan said that he would also customize special work clothes for the cleaning staff, even Li Ziqiang, who was sitting in the Qingfeng Restaurant, exclaimed, "Ah, this kid is quite courageous!"

As for the residents who surrounded Sun Shan, they were so happy that they almost jumped up.

Clothes in this world are not cheap. Some people may never wear a new piece of clothing in their entire life.

The adults wear them and give them to the children, the older children wear them and give them to the younger children, and then they give them to the even younger children.

If a piece of clothing has not been worn by more than ten people, its value is not worth it.

So, often patches are added within patches.

As for shoes, let alone.

Straw sandals are the fate of the poor.

"Mr. Xiucai, can I sign up now? I want to go to work early, and my kids are too hungry to walk."

Sun Shan looked at Chen Yadan, who had squeezed in front of him with all her might. Her hair was straw-colored, her face was thin, her eyes were bulging out, but she also showed a strong sense of vitality.

All of a sudden, I felt sad.

Alas, my strength is still too weak and I cannot take care of more people.

"You can sign up after I finish my talk. Your monthly salary is 500 copper coins, and you can have four days off every month."

Then, he pointed at Sun Ziyong and said to Chen Yadan, "I have specially approved you to join our Datong Chamber of Commerce. You don't need to register. Go find him later and ask him to advance you one month's salary."

After saying this, Sun Shan was afraid of not being able to hold back his sadness, and also afraid of being harassed by someone equally pitiful, so he jumped down.

Then, he pointed at Sun Ziyong and started signing up for recruitment.

In this way, Chen Yadan, who had been hungry for two or three days, suddenly fainted from joy.

Yang Yuanqing stood by the window, looking at the Datong Chamber of Commerce, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, and sighed: "This scholar has some conscience, unlike the evil spirit last night."

"Haha-----" Li Ziqiang chuckled first, and explained to Sun Shan who called him uncle: "He has a heart of a bodhisattva and means of a diamond. Your Majesty, as a scholar, he naturally has a feeling of pity for the world. Otherwise, he would not have been able to write such a good story and drama."

"That's right-----"

Yang Yuanqing looked back at Li Ziqiang, who had spoken well of Sun Shan several times, and said, "It seems that Li Changshi is quite optimistic about this scholar."

"Haha, whether I think he will do well or not depends on whether he has the ability or not."

As he said that, Li Ziqiang changed the subject: "If he passes the imperial examination, he may have more ability and take on more responsibilities. Otherwise-----"

As he spoke, Li Ziqiang shook his head, indicating that he was not very optimistic about Sun Shan's future academic performance.

"Did Li Changshi say that he ranked last in the exam?"

"Hehe, so you, Your Majesty, also know this. That's why his future is not easy. Learning the ways of the underworld at such a young age is not the right path."

“What is the right path?”

After hearing what Li Ziqiang said, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

The officials of the Sui Empire are becoming more and more outrageous. They only know how to flatter, deceive their superiors and bully their subordinates.

When it comes to officials’ ability to engage in corruption, each one is worse than the other.

When it comes to doing practical things, he is not even as good as this little scholar.

At least after receiving bribes from others, they still recruit some poor people to sweep the streets for you.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing looked at the streets that had become much cleaner and more beautiful after cleaning. An idea came to his mind, but he suppressed it in an instant.

"This scholar can recruit some people and support some families. If all the officials were like him, the people would not suffer so much."

"Your Majesty, this is just a small favor."

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing seemed to admire Sun Shan, Li Ziqiang took advantage of the situation and said, "So, if he is just a scholar, no matter how kind he is, his ability is limited."

"Really? What if he expands his territory again like he did last night?"

After these words were spoken, the three or four people around Yang Yuanqing all looked unhappy at the same time.

As for underground forces, this thing is like a woman's bra.

Obviously everyone knows it and has seen it.

But, I just can’t say it.

As for, you can only play it secretly when no one is around.

Seeing that no one responded to his words, Yang Yuanqing knew that he could say that it was okay given his status, but he couldn't say it publicly.

So, he shut up and ran away: "Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore."

"Yes."

Li Ziqiang responded and secretly observed Yang Yuanqing's expression. Seeing that he was calm and composed, he followed him and said, "Your Highness, we can wait a little longer. Let this kid do it for a while and see how he does it. Whether it's a mule or a horse, it should come out for a walk."

"That's right--"

Yang Yuanqing shook the paper fan in his hand and walked downstairs quickly.

I took a look and saw that the road was clean and there was no garbage flying around. I felt inexplicably relaxed and hummed a few lines of the little song written by Sun Shan.

I looked again and saw the plaque of Datong Chamber of Commerce that had just been replaced.

He tilted his head and asked curiously, "Li Changshi, what do you think this kid wants to do? Is he going to do business too?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from the people down below that the Datong Chamber of Commerce said they would have their own business. I don't know what exactly they would do."

Yang Yuanqing was on a secret visit this time, so Wang Qiao was not accompanying him. He walked to the shade, thinking of the opera performed by Sun Shan, and couldn't help looking forward to it: "Do you think this kid will be in Datong Chamber of Commerce, telling stories and singing operas like he did in Junyoulai Restaurant?"

"this-----"

Li Ziqiang took a look at the plaque of Datong Chamber of Commerce. Although the calligraphy was not very beautiful, it had a unique personal style. "This shouldn't be it. This plaque doesn't look like someone in this business."

Li Ziqiang paused and said with some doubt: "Unless he sets up another one, I heard that the Wang family transferred the shares of Wenzhai Pavilion, which seems to have something to do with Sun Shan."

Now, Yang Yuanqing became interested.

As a hereditary prince of the second rank below the prince of the Sui Empire, he possesses supreme authority in the Xiangnan Prefecture.

However, the royal clan system restricted these royal relatives and nobles from interfering with the local government's law enforcement power or serving as officials in the court.

They are not allowed to leave the area under their jurisdiction.

Later, they were not even free to enter and leave the city.

As a result, these royal families who were born rich but had no chance to display their wealth, some of them pursued immortality and Taoism, some pursued art, some exploited the people, and some even became mentally perverted and did many things that were not allowed to be seen by others.

There is no way, you must always have something to pursue in life to make it meaningful.

Among them, Prince Heng Yang Yuanqing is considered a very good one. He is known as another wise king of the Sui Empire.

He does not oppress the people. He pursues art and likes everything related to art.

Playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, music, singing and dancing, horse riding and archery, drinking and writing poetry, etc.------

Therefore, since Sun Shan suddenly appeared out of nowhere a month ago, he immediately attracted his attention.
