Chapter 4: Follow me to enjoy a good life

I do not want the commission; instead, you can exchange the commission for these mirrors and lipsticks for me when the time comes. I have many relatives at home and would like to give them as gifts

To win the loyalty of subordinates, it is essential to make them feel the master's trust in them.

It was nearly two o'clock after finishing up, and the two of them headed straight for the intersection

My lord, these past two years have been plagued by either drought or floods, and the neighboring provinces have suffered complete crop failure.

The lipstick is truly wonderful; just a swipe transforms the lips to a vibrant red, glossy and beautiful

The table was certainly gone, and one by one, they squatted on the ground holding large bowls, eating heartily with their mouths making smacking sounds.

Therefore, the items that Tang Wen purchased in Yunhai City were primarily dried vegetables and dried meats, which are foods that can be stored for a long time

We do not have a house yet, and we still need to save some money to build a residence

Five hundred taels were spent on buying clothes, using seven taels of silver... Zhang Dongwen took out a piece of paper and handed it over, which detailed the prices and quantities of the items sold.

"My lord, are you not afraid that they will abscond with the money?" Zhang Kui said with considerable concern after Zhang Dongwen left.

That works as well; when the time comes, I will give you a 10% discount. Tang Wen nodded, had Li Chun'er write the contract, and then turned to leave.

The remaining money will be used to purchase horses, mules, and flatbed carts

Li Quan, you take them back to the base. I have plenty of food in the tent behind, as well as cured meat, so make sure they eat their fill

Master, now that the population has increased, it is better to be frugal." The old servant Jiang Er said.

And - picture - book, you have many sisters and acquaintances. For every item sold, I will give you half a tael of silver as commission

Sigh... why didn't you take it out earlier? Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to sell our ancestral home.

Li Chun'er was immediately dazzled and exclaimed, "My lord, when I look into this mirror, it seems as if I have stepped right into it."

These will all be available in the future, mother, just wait and enjoy the blessings.

At that time, I will arrange for someone to come and collect it. If more goods are needed at that time, we can discuss it further," said Tang Wen

If Zhandongwen has abandoned his parents and siblings, then consider it a lesson learned Tang Wen smiled lightly

A mirror costs 1.5 taels of gold, while lipstick and perfume each cost 0.5 taels of gold.

However, for this group of disaster victims who have not had enough to eat for a long time, it is no different from enjoying a five-star hotel experience

"I used to earn money by selling calligraphy and paintings when I studied at Linghai Academy, so, mother, you need not worry in the future; I have more than just this." said Tang Wen

Moreover, you don't even have a wife, in the future...'' Liu Qingmei shed tears

Mother! You can rest assured, my son will take care of it

Around 10 o'clock, a group of people finally arrived at Yanling County

You dare to write it down, yet you still have the audacity to take my money

"Why give it to him if I'm afraid? I might as well keep an eye on them," said Zhang Kui

"Spring has met with the Baron." This time, Tang Wen specifically came wearing the nobleman's hat issued by the royal family

"Rest assured, my lord, I will take care of it." Zhang Dongwen was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly nodded and took the silver, leading his men away

This lesson is indeed too great, after all, it amounts to 500 taels

Tang Wen was aware that Zhan Dongwen was spying on him, yet he pretended not to notice and continued walking as usual

"Well, Zhandong Wen has passed the preliminary test." Tang Wen smiled.

After purchasing, we will meet at the intersection and return together. Tang Wen handed the money to Zhan Dongwen

Zhang Dongwen's mother, Li Lanyue, was busy with a group of women. A pile of vegetables and meat was chopped on the door panel, while the children stood nearby, drooling.

Moreover, hats are also categorized by rank, making it immediately apparent what your status is; this is a symbol of identity for the aristocracy of the State of Chu

Half an hour later, Li Quan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready..."

Among them, there was a plate of meat and a bucket of rice, which made their bellies round and caused them to burp loudly.

However, it is still advisable to use it sparingly

"Please speak, Your Grace," Li Chun'er said quite politely

Tang Wen, accompanied by Zhan Dongwen, entered a small tavern and ordered three dishes and one soup

I brought back a batch of Western trinkets, including mirrors, lipsticks, and perfumes. Take a look at this?" Tang Wen took them out of the bag.

Everyone, let the elderly, women, and children serve themselves first. We men are all gentlemen, so we will line up at the back

"And the illustrated books, my child, all of these require money. You have not managed a household before and do not know the value of basic necessities. You are well aware of our family's limited resources..." Liu Qingmei frowned and said

This perfume has an immediate fragrance upon spraying, it is so fragrant

Zhang Dongwen was taken aback and couldn't help but steal a glance at Tang Wen

Thereafter, Tang Wen went directly to the Zhang family bank, exchanging 1,200 taels of silver ingots for 120 taels of gold ingots

Tang Wen and his group also returned to Koh Samui, only to find it cold and chilly outside the tent

The old lady said that she had a hearty meal at noon, so there would be no need for dinner in the evening

I will go with Zhang Kui to handle some matters, and we can discuss the rest when we return

"Why haven't you started the fire to cook yet?" Tang Wen inquired

First, I will leave a batch with you. After selling it, please send someone to deliver the letter to Paradise Island.

Where can I find coarse grains to feed livestock Therefore, the prices of livestock are all rising

Everyone should follow me, I cannot allow them to go hungry or be inadequately clothed," Tang Wen said with a resolute expression

"My lord, in the past when we were fleeing, we couldn't even have a full meal once a day. Today, we finally have some meat. Let's rest tonight, as we still have work to do tomorrow," said Zhang Dongwen.

In fact, it is just a bowl of stir-fried potatoes with cured meat, a bowl of dried bamboo shoots, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup

"Queue up, queue up." Zhang Dongwen instructed everyone to line up properly

Popularity can indeed enhance one's power, it seems that this is also a path of cultivation

The evening glow spreads across the sky, illuminating Koh Samui. From a distance, it truly gives the impression of the sunset falling upon the island, which is quite spectacular and enchanting

Previously, an ordinary horse was priced at 30 taels, but now it has risen to 40 taels

In a previous life, Tang Wen was the director of a provincial hospital, and naturally, he was well-versed in the principles of personnel management

Furthermore, I would like to give it a try as well

I am afraid!" Tang Wen nodded.

Zhan Junru and Li Lanyue, the mother and daughter, were responsible for serving the meals. They first placed the rice into large bowls and then added the dishes on top.

"Wen'er, during years of disaster, we must not indulge in excessive feasting; we must also think about the future." At this moment, Mother Liu Qingmei stepped out and said

After finishing these tasks, it was almost 1 PM. Tang Wen went to the martial arts hall to purchase several cleansing essence pills, twenty nurturing essence pills, and a set of martial arts techniques

Alas... Wen'er, you have truly grown up and are able to earn money now. That's good, and I feel reassured.

"No need for the Eastern text, I trust you! Time is running out, let us set off." Tang Wen waved his hand directly, not even taking the paper, and the group set off.

There are also Dongwen, you choose a few people to go with me" Tangwen instructed

Mother, I will help you back to rest, you all set up the pot and start the fire to cook!" Tang Wen instructed, supporting Liu Qingmei into the tent, and opening the bag said, "Mother, look.

500 taels reveal a person's true nature, worth it! Tang Wen appeared indifferent, while Zhang Kui looked worried

Thus, Li Quan led a group of people directly to Koh Samui

I also just received it today, it was sent over from the provincial city by the master of the academy. Tang Wen lied.

This type of hat is uniformly crafted by royal artisans, and those without nobility are not permitted to wear it

"Where did you get so much gold?" Liu Qingmei was immediately startled.

Upon exiting the tent, I discovered that several large iron pots had already been propped up with stones ahead, and thick firewood was burning vigorously.

Mules are about the same, even the flatbed carts have increased by a few taels

Tang Wen dined with his mother in the tent, of course, there was a small wooden table.

"My lord, look, they are waiting for us over there," Zhang Kui exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Zhan Dongwen and his group from a distance.

Starting from today, your son will ensure that you enjoy a life of comfort

Their family is still in our hands, what is there to fear

This nobleman has come this time mainly to ask Miss Chun'er for a favor

Only in this way can others follow wholeheartedly

Because there is still a debt of several hundred thousand to Luo Jun from Yunhai City, which is the money for the medicine that has been reserved by them

Tang Wen turned and went to the Fragrant Pavilion, the best brothel in Yanling County, where he spent twenty taels of silver to book the top courtesan, Li Chun'er

After all, there is no cold storage here, and fresh vegetables and meat are prone to spoilage

He is not afraid of Li Chun'er blackening his possessions, after all, how could an ordinary commoner dare to tarnish the belongings of a noble? Unless you no longer value your life

"Who said that? Li Quan, Zhang Kui, you two go to the warehouse and bring out the grain and iron pots. We will start a fire and cook now. Also, bring out one hundred jin of cured meat; today, let everyone enjoy a hearty meal," said Tang Wen

Dongwen, I will give you 500 taels of silver, you take them to buy a set of robes
