ou. Quickly get rid of these peasants. As for your tofu-making skills, this young master will take them over!"Liu Liang patted his chest boldly and said, "Just name your price! I'll pay whatever it ta..."One stone."

Buddy raises a finger.

Yang Lin was startled.

The largest grain store in the city, with only one stone of grain

"My friend, with a troubled expression, explained: "Sir, you see, our boss was hacked to death yesterday, the food in the storehouse was looted clean, and all the helpers ran away. Now, I'm the only one left."

Yang Lin's mouth twitched.

"Whose boss are you, Zhao family or Zhou family"

"It's the Zhou family." The clerk replied hurriedly.

Yang Lin glanced at the sign outside "Yongxing Grain Store," then took out a deed and land title from his sleeve and began to search through them.

He soon found a deed for the warehouse of Eternal Prosperity Grain Store among them!

"Ah!"

The fellow's eyes widened when he saw the deed.

"Are you our new boss" The buddy was also taken aback.

It seems that's it.

Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry, helplessly nodding his head.

In this era, there are no laws regarding inheritance. Especially in the cases of the Zhou and Zhao families now, whoever has the biggest fist inherits it all.

Yang Lin was speechless. He had only come to spend money, but he ended up not buying any food and became the owner of this store instead!

"Host! I finally found you!"

Yang Lin was about to slip away when he was caught by the excited clerk.

"Anything up"

Yang Lin stared strangely at the fellow.

He doesn't have time to deal with these store problems now.

"Yes, sir. Now there's only me in the shop. There's no shopkeeper, no clerk, and even the food supplies have been ransacked. If this continues, our shop will have to close!"

Then shut the door!

Yang Lin said without hesitation.

This small business is a lot of hard work and doesn't make much money, he really doesn't think much of it.

The most important thing is that he has no one to rely on right now. Instead of managing things haphazardly, it's better to just shut down.

"Huh Close the door"

The companion was astonished and hurriedly shook his head: "Master, you can't close the shop!"

Why

The fellow quickly said, "Master, our grain store is the largest in the city, supplying 30% of the city's food. If we close our doors, the neighbors won't have anywhere to buy grain!"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

I didn't expect the Zhou family's food business to be this big already.

"What's your name" Yang Lin asked.

"Little Shen Wan, the third son, everyone calls him Little Shen San'er." The clerk hurriedly said.

Yang Lin, however, just stared straight ahead.

Shen Wàn Third oldest

Isn't that just a coincidence

"If I hand over this granary to you, could you manage it well"

"Yes!"

Shen Wan nodded decisively.

"Though I'm just a clerk, I learned a great deal about business from the shopkeeper in my time here. I've never had a chance to put it into practice, but if the master is willing to give me this opportunity, I will surely make the shop thrive."

Yang Lin nodded. "Go on, how much do you need"

Even though everyone else has left, he's still here. Just for that, Yang Lin will give him a chance.

Shen Wan hesitated for a moment, then summoning his courage, he raised a finger and said, "If the master can trust me, one hundred taels of silver would be enough!"

"No problem, I'll have someone send you two hundred taels when I get back! You manage it well, and if you do a good job, come work for me later."

After finishing his words, Yang Lin didn't hesitate any longer and turned to leave.

"Leaving the shop, Li Yuyao finally asked, "He's just a clerk. You dare to entrust your entire shop to him And give him one hundred taels of silver Aren't you afraid he'll take your money and run away"

Purple and green also nodded.

In their eyes, even if they were incredibly wealthy, they couldn't possibly be so extravagant.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "My intuition tells me he won't let me down."

Besides, we don't have the energy to manage these stores right now. Instead of shutting them down, why not give young people a chance Maybe he can surprise us with another miracle.

Li Yuxiang didn't say anything more, only sneered and shook her head.

She didn't believe in intuition, but she also knew the reality Yang Lin spoke of.

Since I couldn't buy food here, I'll have to go to other stores.

After all that trouble, Yang Lin was speechless!

I visited over ten shops, three of which turned out to be my own. The rest cost me some money, but I almost emptied each one. In the end, it didn't cost much at all. Before I knew it, it was already noon.

When having a meal, Li Yuyao smiled as she calculated Yang Lin's expenses from the morning.

"One hundred shi of grain, one hundred and twenty taels of silver."

"Eight hundred catties of meat, thirty-two taels of silver."

"A thousand feet of cloth, one hundred taels of silver."

3,800 jin of pig iron, 26,000 jin of iron ore, a total of 600 taels of silver.

As for all the other miscellaneous things, there are a total of thirty-two liang.

"Adding the one hundred taels you gave to the grain shop, we spent less than a thousand taels this morning."

"Well, 40,000 taels of silver is almost gone, spending a head. Now we only have more than 39,000 taels left."

A hint of cunning flashed in Li Yuxiang's smile.

She already regrets not making a bet with Yang Lin.

Yang Lin gritted his teeth.

I overestimated the difficulty of spending money.

He never expected that spending money would be so difficult!

After all, the biggest issue is that there are simply too few goods here. Even with money, there's nothing to buy.

Yang Lin immediately changed the subject: "What we lack most right now is manpower. Madam, do you have any good suggestions"

Li Yuxiang shook her head. "It's easy to find people, but it's hard to find reliable ones. It's even harder to find someone who can stand on their own."

Yang Lin nodded in agreement, "To be honest, it's because we've developed too quickly. We now have so many industries but lack trustworthy personnel. But thinking about the available people, I suddenly came up with two solutions."

"Either sell all these shops and convert them into silver."

"However, this approach is equivalent to cutting off one's own limbs. These industries are all high-quality assets. They are only undervalued because no one takes care of them. If they were sold now, the price would inevitably be very low, making it a losing deal."

Li Yuxiang hurriedly asked, "What about the second way"

Yang Lin smiled: "Don't forget, we still have so many sisters at home."

Li Yuyao was stunned and frowned, "Do you want them to take care of these businesses But they are all women. Since ancient times, there has never been a woman as the shopkeeper. Doing business outside means showing your face, can they do it"

"How could it not work"

Yang Lin said calmly: "Throughout history, it hasn't been because women are incapable. It's simply that they have always been underestimated. Besides strenuous physical labor, women are actually no weaker than men. Even saints have said: Women can hold up half the sky!"

"My lady, don't underestimate women!"

Yang Lin's words struck Li Yuyao like a thunderbolt, jolting her awake and clearing her mind.

Women... are no worse than men!

It turns out that all along, not only have others underestimated me, but I've also underestimated myself!nto "military service" and "manual labor".Corvée labor wasn't too bad; the wealthy could pay their way out, while those without means had to work for a month or two.But conscription, in the Dàqián Dyn...
