This kind of effect made many people surprised. Some of them were seeing this kind of thing for the second time, while some were seeing it for the first time. The first time, because they were all children, not many people paid attention to it. Now that it was changed to adults, and with the addition of the flag, they remembered this kind of method even though they were surprised.
"Master, I finally know why that Steward Zhang is willing to provide us with things. Look, it says that when the time comes, we need to let others know that it was Between the Clouds and the Water who provided it. Just now, Li Cheng told me that three shops have found him and are willing to pay to buy things for this wilderness survival.
One said that he can take care of everything, even the clothes, and the other one is willing to take out two thousand taels of silver at once. Master, we will pay for it. "
Li Xun was sitting on the top of the second floor of the restaurant. Nowadays, many rich people were willing to sit on the top of the restaurant to enjoy a different feeling. The top of the restaurant Between the Clouds and the Water was more expensive than the private rooms on the second floor because only one group of people could go up at a time, and the number could not exceed twenty. As long as one went up, they would be able to enjoy the feeling of being alone.
Li Xun also heard some of the words said by the people who were talking loudly. Coupled with Li Cheng's report just now, he understood why Steward Zhang left so happily. He put the contract in his hand on the table and said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man now didn't know how to express the depression in his heart. He was the teacher of the Little Marquis. Usually, no matter what, he would be able to help Li Xun think of a solution. He didn't expect that this time, he would miscalculate. In any case, he couldn't have guessed that the money was really given for free, but the benefits that they received were not small at all.
Hearing Li Xun's words and looking at his expectant gaze, the middle-aged man helplessly sighed. "There's no other way. They have another contract in their hands. If we really dare to go back on our word, we can only kill them all. Moreover, we can't let anyone find out. Do you think that will work?"
"No, I've never thought of killing them. Even if someone wanted to kill them, they could kill the main family, but could they kill all the other villagers? The Imperial Uncle would definitely not leave the matter at that. With so many people killed at once, it was too frightening. He would definitely send out scouts in all directions.
What's more, Zhangjia Zhuangzi was a place of auspicious signs. If the people there were all dead, could it be that it wasn't an auspicious sign? Wasn't it because Imperial Uncle had ruled the country well? Master, let's not talk about killing people anymore. Is there any other way? "
When Li Xun heard his master mention killing people, he was scared out of his wits. When Zhangjia Zhuangzi was alive, he could ignore him and did not need to give him any benefits. But if he really killed them, it would involve auspicious signs. Outside of the auspicious signs, how could anything happen? Could that still be called auspicious?
"There's no other way. Why don't you ask Steward Zhang and see if he has any ideas? I think they will still give you face. " The middle-aged man was just saying. He did not dare to kill people. The one who tied the bell should untie it. Since Li Xun wanted to get more benefits, he could only go to him.
Li Cheng was dealing with people who wanted to give him money for free. When he heard the Young Master's call, he immediately found an excuse and ran over. He was sweating, not because of the heat, but because he was pestered.
Waiting for Li Xun to finish his words, Li Cheng knew that this time it was not him who was pestered, but someone else. He found Steward Zhang who was in charge of arranging things in the restaurant and said to him, "Steward Zhang, can I have a word with you?"
Steward Zhang naturally did not dare to refuse. He followed him to a place where there was no one else and asked, "What's the matter, Young Master Li?"
"This … It's a long story." Li Cheng hesitated.
"Then let's make it short. I still have a lot of things to do here." Steward Zhang did not have time to chat with him. There were still some arrangements to be made and they would be used tomorrow. The young lady had sent some things called 'fireworks'. She said that if someone answered correctly, they would light one. If they answered incorrectly, a bowl of water would be poured down on their head to calm them down.
These things sounded simple, but if something went wrong, he did not dare to face the Young Master and the young lady. This was the first time he had heard of this method. In order not to make others angry, he specially asked some scholars. In the end, the scholars were straightforward and said that a bowl of water was just right in the hot weather. Only then did he feel relieved.
Now that he saw Li Cheng wanting to compete with him in terms of patience, he did not have the patience.
Li Cheng did not expect Steward Zhang's words to be so harsh. He was stunned for a moment and had to tell him what the Young Master had told him.
"Steward Zhang, you see, now your restaurant has accepted other people's things and made flags for them. It's not bad. My Young Master wants to ask, can you let more people participate in the survival in the wild? They are all people of the Tang Empire. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. Well said, well said." Steward Zhang had already stopped lamenting about the Young Master and Young Madam. He was numb. Today, when he came out, the Young Master found him and said that if Li Meng wanted to go back on his word, then he should use another method. He should get all the benefits he deserved.
After saying this, the Young Master also gave him a few words. These words were a little confusing at the time, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was really the words of the prophet. He could even predict this.
Fortunately, he was used to it. As long as the Young Master and the young lady said something, it was right. As long as they did something, it was a sure win. What he had to do was to listen to them and follow.
"So Steward Zhang agreed. Then … the things written by the Young Master can be …?" Hearing Steward Zhang's words, Li Cheng relaxed a lot. It seemed that this Steward Zhang was easy to talk to. Now he wanted to get back the written agreement.
Steward Zhang smiled. He felt that he had grasped everything at this moment, even if this feeling was given by the Young Master. He said to Li Cheng, "Young Master, don't be anxious.
Let me finish. I think the Young Master of your restaurant wants to find other people to join. Young Master Li may not know this, but this kind of thing is very troublesome and exhausting. But Young Master Li need not worry. We have a way to deal with this kind of thing. Why don't Young Master Li go back and ask Between the Clouds and the Water to take care of this kind of thing? At that time, Young Master Li just needs to wait to receive the things and the money.
What do you think? "Li Cheng was confused. What did Steward Zhang mean? 'Help me?' If it was someone else, he would believe it. But if it was the Steward of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. He had never taken advantage of the Steward of Zhangjia Zhuangzi.
Not to mention other things, the gold was rewarded by the Young Master from the palace. He changed it later, thinking that he could get some benefits, such as paying less money and so on.
However, when he arrived at the restaurant, he found that the waiter caught the people eating and said that the Young Master of Zhuangzi was benevolent and righteous. In order to help the poor, he even paid for it himself. Between the Clouds and the Water was not as good as Young Master Li. After taking the money, he just arranged a courtyard for the family to live in for free and provided half a pig's knuckle a day for the mother. These were not comparable to Young Master Li's benevolence at all.
Li Cheng remembered that he was dumbfounded at that time. How could he dare to pay less money when the Young Master spread the news? That would be unfair to the Young Master. Not only did he not get the money, but he also continued to give more and even rewarded the waiter more money.
In such a place, such a person wanted to take advantage of the Young Master? In his dreams. A few days ago, Steward Zhang went there and said that he would be in charge of the survival training. He hesitated and thought that Steward Zhang was a good person. But today, he found that the things that Steward Zhang gave were much less than what others would give.
Thinking of the past, when he heard that Steward Zhang was so easy to talk to, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his feet. The sun was so bright that he could not feel the heat.
"Young Master Li, Young Master Li? Say something. Do you agree to help Between the Clouds and the Water? "Steward Zhang waited for a while and saw that Li Cheng was in a daze, so he had to ask again.
"Ah? Oh, about this, Steward Zhang, I can't make the decision. How about I ask Young Master first and then come to you. About the written agreement … " Li Cheng did not dare to agree. Who knew what would happen? He had to go back and discuss it. Then he reached out for the written agreement.
"Oh, Young Master Li, look at my memory. That thing is at home. It's on the table in Master's study. How about you go back and discuss it first? I'll go and get it now."
Steward Zhang was not a fool. Before the matter was settled, he would not hand over the written agreement. If Steward Zhang took back the written agreement and turned against him, what could he do to him?
"Well, thank you, Steward Zhang. I'll go and ask now." Li Cheng had no choice. He turned around and ran to the roof, repeating what he had just said to Steward Zhang.
"Master, what do you think?" Li Xun was also a little afraid of this place. The people here did not follow common sense. There was no way to guess what they were going to do. He really wanted to use his identity to pressure them, but he did not dare. You want to pressure them? That Censor is not playing with you. He really dares to impeach you.
"This …?" The middle-aged man did not feel good in his heart. He also could not figure out what Between the Clouds and the Water wanted to do. The other side responded too quickly. He had just decided to go back and ask someone to go, and the other side agreed and put forward new conditions. No matter how he looked at it, these conditions would not do any harm to him.
But was it possible? Between the Clouds and the Water seemed to have never suffered a loss. Zhangjia Zhuangzi was amazing.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man only thought of one thing. He said to Li Cheng, "Go back and tell Steward Zhang that as long as those merchants promise to give us the same things and money, let him do it. If he wants the written agreement, ask him to come here."
