From a freeloader to a world leader

On the second day, the entrance of Datong Chamber of Commerce and the entrance of Junyoulai Restaurant were bustling with activity since early morning.

Because, several notices were posted.

First of all, let’s talk about how the first Hengzhou Night Market Festival will be organized in three days, including the content, location and time period.

The opening hours have been advanced from the original 11:00 p.m. to the 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon, to make it easier for first-time merchants to set up their venues and for residents to arrange their own time appropriately.

Datong Chamber of Commerce welcomes merchants on the three streets of Pingyang, Jianyang and Anyang to actively respond to the possible sudden increase in customer flow, and reminds all merchants to send more staff and stock up more goods.

Then, the Datong Chamber of Commerce also made arrangements for the mobile vendors who set up stalls, and specially designated an area for free use.

Only a sanitation fee of two copper coins is charged, but people must obey the management and cannot place things arbitrarily to avoid obstructing the flow of people.

Regarding public security and on-site maintenance, Sun Shan has reached an agreement with Wang Dashan that the Datong Chamber of Commerce will conduct patrols together with the police station.

Privately, the Datong Chamber of Commerce sponsored 100 taels of silver to the police station as hard work fees for the patrol officers.

This surprised Wang Dashan. He once thought that Sun Shan, a scholar who was as rigid as a rock, was actually such a warm and flexible person.

The most important highlight, of course, is the Xiucai group's personal talent show, which has been changed into a charity fundraising gala. All proceeds from the event will be donated free of charge to those in need in Hengzhou City.

That is to say, starting from the second day of the Night Market Festival, Datong Chamber of Commerce will use this money to sell porridge in Hengzhou City until it is used up.

What’s even more exciting is that Datong Chamber of Commerce, together with Jun Youlai Restaurant, became the first advocates and took the lead in donating 1000 taels of silver to charity.

To express our deep sympathy for the suffering people of Hengzhou.

Now, whether it was the residents who came to watch the fun, or the residents and homeless people who had been hungry and cold and had not eaten for a long time, all started to cheer.

In addition, the Xiucai Group also welcomes all enthusiastic and caring people to work together to contribute to the charity cause of Hengzhou City and to the suffering citizens of Hengzhou City, with those who have money contributing money and those who have strength contributing their strength.

Let us work together to build Hengzhou into a beautiful, loving and warm city.

At the same time, Datong Chamber of Commerce also posted two recruitment notices. One of them was that Datong Chamber of Commerce was recruiting 100 people, inviting all kinds of elites from the society to join Datong Chamber of Commerce. The basic salary was one or two taels of silver per month, and bonuses were calculated separately.

Another recruitment notice is for the Xiucai group, who will enter Hengzhou Academy to study in a month and a half.

In order not to affect the entertainment of Hengzhou residents, it was decided to recruit all kinds of talented performers to form a performance group called Deyun Society.

In the future, there will be fixed venues that can provide richer, more exciting and relatively cheaper performances for all residents of the city.

The performances include opera, singing and dancing, magic, martial arts, crosstalk and so on.

Anyway, as long as you have extraordinary skills, Deyun Club will welcome you and offer you high salaries.

Li Ziqiang was looking at several notices from Datong Chamber of Commerce that his men had copied from him, feeling both happy and annoyed.

I feel sad that this kid Sun Shan is really good at making trouble.

It has only been a short time since they entered Hengzhou City, but they are already performing, doing business, and forming a team.

He is simply not a scholar at all.

Fortunately, he has already stated in the announcement that he will officially start his studies after the school opens.

"Butler Shen, do you think we should ask the prince for instructions? Sun Shan has done something a bit outrageous this time. I'm afraid it will be hard to control him."

"hehe-----"

Shen Youzhi touched his smooth chin and smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's big. Hengzhou City hasn't been so lively for a long time. Since this kid has such a loving heart, it's a good thing no matter what he does."

"That's right, that's right, the people are the ones who are better off-----"

Li Ziqiang agreed verbally but thought to himself, of course you don't care, but what if this kid messes up? Can he, a scholar, afford the consequences?

"I think this kid is not brave enough. He only cares about his own little territory. If he could have a broader vision-----"

As the person in charge of the entire palace inside and outside, Li Ziqiang certainly understood what Shen Youzhi, who was in charge of the palace's finances, meant.

It simply means that Sun Shan did not take care of the palace's business.

You know, the biggest boss in the entire Hengzhou City must be King Heng.

However, Pingyang Street, where the Datong Chamber of Commerce is located, is an ordinary area.

The shops and businesses in the palace are relatively high-end and monopolistic.

"This, this----"

Just as Li Ziqiang was wondering how to answer, a servant rushed in and said, "Chief, there is a scholar who wants to talk to you!"

"what?"

Li Ziqiang glared and said, "Fuck it, who have I become? I'm a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, and a scholar dares to come to the palace to discuss business?"

"Scholar?"

Shen Youzhi blinked his eyes, and suddenly remembered the bold guy who also called him uncle, and muttered: "What scholar? What a panic."

"The scholar in the mountains! The scholar who tells stories and sings operas------"

At this time, the errand boy realized that he had crossed the line and hurriedly explained.

"Sun Shan!"

Li Ziqiang and Shen Youzhi stood up in response. They looked at each other, feeling a little curious and absurd.

What could Sun Shan, a scholar, do by visiting the palace?

"Shall we meet?" Li Ziqiang pondered for a moment, then slowly asked Shen Youzhi.

"Meet him, why not? It's not a bad thing." Shen Youzhi rolled his eyes and agreed quickly. Then, as he walked out, he ordered, "Changshi, you go meet him first. I'll go in and tell the prince. The prince is also very interested in this kid."

"Hello-----"

Li Ziqiang shouted hello and saw Shen Youzhi swiftly slip into the inner courtyard. He thought for a moment and decided to let him meet her. It's not like my precious daughter is meeting this brat anyway.

"Go, bring him in-----"

Li Ziqiang waved his hand, thought for a moment, and thought that the prince might come soon, so he changed his words and said, "Take him to the Osmanthus Hall-----"

"Yes, I understand-----"

Sun Shan was wearing a modified blue scholar's robe and standing upright at the gate of the palace. He didn't care at all that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him curiously both inside and outside the palace.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was still somewhat uneasy.

As long as I successfully step into the palace, I believe that those countless pairs of eyes staring at me will raise their gazes towards me a little more.

He knew very well that he seemed to be doing well at the moment.

In fact, there are many dangers down there.

The main reason is that I climbed too fast without any foundation.

Even if the Zhang family was included, compared to Hengzhou City, which was full of high-ranking officials and wealthy people, an ordinary scholar and an ordinary businessman simply did not have much ability to fight back.

This is only because of his successful singing performances, which brought him a certain fame.

Therefore, Sun Shan and the Zhang family were eager to clear all obstacles before Wenzhai Pavilion was renovated and opened for business.

If you want to make your reputation loud and clear, you also need to have someone powerful enough to support you.

At present, the reason why those people behind the scenes did not touch me was because I suppressed the local yamen Wang family, beat and kicked them, and killed dozens of people in one breath.

This makes those who have ulterior motives dare not act rashly.

In addition, the wealth on hand is not enough and not tempting enough.

Not yet, it has not touched the fundamental interests of others.

But face is face after all. As long as he can successfully organize the night market, he can also successfully organize the Wenzhaige, which is equivalent to the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

It is very likely that this was the moment when his time in Hengzhou City came to an end.

Unless, before that, you hold onto a thick leg.

Well, if you want to hug, of course you should hug the thickest thigh.

What's more, this thick leg has a very beautiful baby daughter.

As for the royal palace, the princess, or the prince consort, they can all be utilized and can achieve mutual success.

Everything is beneficial, it just depends on whether there is a heart and whether there are common interests between each other.

So, what are the common interests between myself and the palace?

It’s nothing more than creating greater value for the palace!
