Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 552: Serving the King is Like Serving a Tiger

Serving the king is like serving a tiger, and this tiger can destroy all your clans.

Those ministers who were in high positions and had great power outside also felt bad.

They had to wait outside the palace gate at five o'clock every day to attend court. Some who lived far away had to get up at two o'clock in the morning.

You can't eat yet. You have to wait until you finish your morning worship.

Wait outside at five o'clock, the emperor will not start court until seven o'clock.

You have to wait outside for two hours.

You don't know when the meeting will end.

These ministers still work very hard.

Young people can still bear it, but older people find it really hard.

These are not problems and are tolerable. What is unbearable is the threat of being exterminated along with all nine generations of the clan at any time.

These people were also very cautious and terrified, for they were afraid of having their entire clan exterminated.

Those ministers were all like this, let alone the imperial physicians who had no status.

I only think about it when I'm sick. If I get cured, it's fine. But if I don't, there's the risk of losing my head.

Their profession is more dangerous than those of ministers.

It is very normal for several imperial doctors to die every year.

That's really living with your head hanging on your pants.

Zhang Weiguo now wants to find such an imperial physician. If they can survive, it means they are really capable. Those who are not capable have been killed.

These people must have good things in their hands.

There are even more of these medicinal liquors, and none of them are good stuff.

If Zhang Weiguo finds such a person and makes a few medicinal liquors, they will definitely be popular.

People will have some problems when they reach middle age.

At this time, wine can solve this problem, and they are so happy.

But now the imperial doctors have all gone into hiding, and you don’t even know where they are.

It's still difficult to find it.

Zhang Weiguo could only send someone to inquire.

If there is such news, go and verify it.

Time flies, and a month has passed in a flash.

During this month, the imperial physician that Zhang Weiguo needed was not found.

Are these people gone?

It’s only been a few years, this shouldn’t happen.

Continue to inquire about the news.

The radios and other items mailed from Hong Kong have also arrived.

Zhang Weiguo thought about asking them if they wanted to sell some cigarettes and alcohol in the store?

These things are more popular in Hong Kong than in the mainland.

There are gangsters everywhere, and these are what they need most. As for soda, forget it.

There is still soda in Hong Kong, so it’s not worth all the trouble.

If necessary, Zhang Weiguo can get some over.

There is also a factory there, which is used as a warehouse.

There's no problem in putting some white wine in it.

These liquors are not afraid of storage. The longer they are stored, the better they taste.

It can also be regarded as an early adaptation to the market.

Gradually spread the fame of these things.

There is still an advantage in terms of price, the main expense is the travel fee.

As long as the price does not lose money, you can sell it.

The price will definitely be cheaper than the wines they are selling now.

The prices here are already high, and many things are imported from foreign countries.

Although it was still ruled by foreigners, it was very normal to ship things from foreign countries.

They definitely want to make money. They put so much effort into this and they wouldn't do it if it doesn't make money.

If Zhang Weiguo transports it from China, the cost can be much less.

In addition, they are all produced by Zhang Weiguo himself, so they still have an advantage in terms of price.

As long as it's cheaper than other sellers.

Zhang Weiguo asked them to make the decision.

If they agreed, Zhang Weiguo would get some for them.

The people they have now are still a little insufficient.

Zhang Weiguo will also let them continue to recruit people, but not everyone can be accepted, and their character needs to be assessed.

Zhang Weiguo doesn't want to experience such a thing as being stabbed behind the scenes again.

Putting aside other things, one’s character must be good.

There will be a lot of things to do in the future, and it would be a hassle if something goes wrong.

It's so far away that Zhang Weiguo can't keep an eye on it all the time.

Some things still need them to do.

Zhang Weiguo gave them a chance, hoping that they would do something.

Don't let them form gangs and carve out territories; this is not a long-term solution.

There are so many gangs, but only a few can actually stay.

There will be all kinds of problems, and once people reach a certain point, they will change.

There are too many gangs and they are too dangerous.

You can make friends with these people, but don't get too involved with them.

If you can get the support of the four major families, it would be a very powerful thing.

It is beneficial to be on good terms with them.

They have been around for a long time and have good relations with all parties.

They have their own strength and a lot of money.

The relationship between the four families is good, and they help each other.

Here, if you offend the four major families, you will have difficulty moving forward.

Everyone gives face to the four major families. If you offend them, before they do anything, many people will try to please the four major families and hand you over.

It is best not to offend them, as it is difficult for ordinary people to meet people from these families.

When these people travel, they are accompanied by a lot of bodyguards.

It's difficult for you to get close to them, they just ignore you.

If you are not on the same level as me, then people won’t play with you at all.

You just want to curry favor with others, but you have no chance at all.

The marriages of these people are more for family alliances.

In order to better maintain the family, they will make some marriage arrangements to better serve the family or bring more benefits to the family.

That is, if you don’t have the ability, it’s impossible for you to marry into it.

People care about matching each other's social status.

Some very favored daughters have it much better; they can decide their own marriages and are relatively free.

Of course, boys must also pass the family’s test and be able to bring benefits to the family.

For these families with a long history, the most important thing is to protect the family.

There is no excuse for personal happiness in front of family.

They have been taught this kind of thinking since childhood.

This is also a very normal thing. Without their family, these people would be nothing and would not have the good life they have now.

If you have a lot of money, you can buy what you like and you don’t need to work, and you will have endless money.

A big house that no one has ever seen in their entire life.

These resources are brought by the family. While they enjoy these resources, they must also bring benefits to the family.

Their family marriage is the most direct way.

In this way, the relationship between everyone becomes closer and everyone can share the benefits together.

If the interests of one family are damaged, other families may also be affected.
