The next day after returning to the city, Gao Yanei came looking for him in a hurry.
As soon as he saw him, he asked, "Brother, why did you resign from your position?"
Zhang Shixun said calmly, "When the work is done, I will leave, hiding my achievements and fame."
"You... you're mentally ill." Gao Yanei stamped his foot. "My father worked so hard to get you an official position, and yet you just throw it away like that, discarding it like... like a worn-out shoe."
"Throw it away like a worn-out shoe... Yanei, you should study hard."
Gao Yanei looked at him and sighed.
Zhang Shixun held out his hand, "Yanei, please give me back 'Shunfenger'."
"You gave this to me, why should I take it back?"
“Give it back to me!”
"No!"
Zhang Shixun said to Xiaomei of the intelligent system, "Create a harsh noise in Gao Yanei's headphones."
Immediately, Gao Yanei jumped up with a "wow" and took out his headphones and threw them over.
Zhang Shixun took the headphones and stuffed them into his sleeve.
"Young Master, when I returned to the capital, I also took back Old He and Han Shizhong's 'Wind-Listening Ears'. Now that we're not at war, there's no use for you keeping them."
Gao Yanei's ears were buzzing, and he said with a sad face, "That ghost scream just now almost deafened me."
"This is a light punishment. If you carry this thing, I can kill you at any time."
Gao Yanei opened his eyes wide and asked anxiously, "Really...really?"
"That's fake." Zhang Shixun pushed him. "If you don't have anything else to do, go ahead. I've been fighting for months and am exhausted both physically and mentally. I need to rest at home. Please don't bother me for the time being."
"I heard from Daddy this morning that you resigned from your position, so I came to ask why... By the way, what are you planning to do in the future?"
Zhang Shixun stretched himself and said, "Make more money and become a rich man."
"You two brothers can earn a lot by selling wine and glass, aren't you satisfied?"
"Young Master, you have to speak with conscience. We made a lot of money from selling wine and glass, but half of it was divided among you. Prince Yun, the Gao family, the He family, and even the old Taoist priest Zhang Hu, who has a big nose, all have shares in it."
"Even if we split some of it, you two will still make a lot."
"That's wrong. My brothers and I have a small family and a small business, so we have to buy a farm, right?"
"Don't you have Gao Laozhuang?"
"Gao Lao Zhuang belongs to Wang Dong, I don't have one yet. In addition to the farm on duty, you should also build a large mansion in the city... Young Master, look at this house you sold me. It's so small and shabby. It's hard to even turn around in the yard. The house is drafty and leaky everywhere..."
"Stop! Stop right now." Gao Yanei stopped him, looking him up and down. "Brother, I've known you for so long, I understand you a little bit... There's no need to beat around the bush. Just tell me directly, what do you want from me?"
"Huh! You figured it out?" Zhang Shixun was a little surprised. "Yanei, what delicious food have you been eating at home recently?"
"Nothing, just a daily routine."
"No! He must have eaten good food, otherwise he wouldn't have become smart."
"Brother, can we talk nicely?" Gao Yanei started to get angry.
Seeing that he was getting angry, Zhang Shixun stopped teasing him.
"Yanei, when I came back this time and passed by Zhou Bridge, I stood on the bridge and looked out. I saw pavilions and terraces on both sides of the Bian River, and mansions were lined up one after another. I immediately felt a surge of resentment in my heart... Why are they richer than me?"
"The mansions you see are either owned by officials or wealthy businessmen. They were inherited from their ancestors or accumulated over many years. How can you, an outsider, compare with them?"
"I am a god."
"Stop talking nonsense! You told me yourself that you are not a god."
"Well, even if I'm not a god, I'm smarter than most people and have some magical powers. As long as I use my brain a little, those people will obediently give me their wealth."
"Give you the wealth?" Gao Yanei thought he was talking nonsense and reached out to touch his forehead. "Brother, you don't have a fever, do you?"
"Get lost!" Zhang Shixun pushed his hand away. "Don't think I'm talking nonsense. I've already made a plan. Working with Li Shishi and Ding Dusai, we'll build a magnificent music hall and stage the most exciting performances. Only the most distinguished and wealthy people can enter to watch..."
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Brother, are you going to put the fairyland you saw during the Lantern Festival into it?"
"What do you think?"
"Can I be included?"
Zhang Shixun glared at him and asked, "Can you sing?"
"No...I won't."
"Can you dance?"
"Not either?"
"You can't do this, you can't do that, what do you want me to do?"
"I can pay for it." Gao Yanei said anxiously, "You are building a music hall... what hall?"
"The palace."
"You have to spend money to build a music hall, right?"
"I have enough money, so I don't need anyone else's money."
Zhang Shixun saw that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so he smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry. In addition to building a music hall, I also want to build a large restaurant. In addition to eating and drinking, you can also listen to books, watch acrobatics, and even watch Western dancers."
Gao Yanei was very excited and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother, this should be counted as a share for me, right?"
Zhang Shixun ignored him and continued, "Also, I'm going to build a football stadium and invite all the Cuju players in the capital to compete in the club. The winner will receive a trophy..."
"What trophy?"
"Something like a vase, made of gold or glass."
Gao Yanei was a little confused. "It seems like you're just putting money into this thing, so you're not making any money."
"Yanei, if this thing is done well, it will make more money than the music hall and the restaurant."
"real?"
"Believe it or not."
Gao Yanei thought for a moment and said, "I don't understand this, so I won't participate. Brother, if you treat me as a brother, please let me invest in the restaurant, okay?"
"No rush, let me think it over first." Zhang Shixun yawned, "I feel sleepy and tired after coming back from the battlefield. I need a good rest... Yanei, you go back. I'll go back to sleep for a while."
"Okay, have a good rest, I'll come see you the next day."
Zhang Shixun politely sent him to the door and looked at his back, feeling secretly happy.
He had already planned to accomplish three things without spending a penny.
With the help of Gao Yanei, a big mouth, fat geese will soon come to the door on their own.
Back in the courtyard, Zheng Yuanyuan came over and asked softly, "Master, you said last night that you would teach us sisters to play the piano today."
"Well! Come to the main room, I will teach you now."
The five palace maids have become more beautiful since they came here.
Especially Zheng Yuanyuan, she became even prettier.
When Zhang Shixun saw them, he would sometimes feel distracted.
