Chapter 11 Sun Shisan
Bringing hundreds of people back to Beijing from Jiangnan is actually a time-consuming task.
But Pu Qiongzhi had to spend the money just to be on the safe side.
If it weren't for the people brought by Sun Shisan and the Pu family, she would still not feel at ease.
"When Thirteen can go to the capital to do business, I will have less worries." Pu Qiongzhi said.
Sun Shisan followed up on her words and asked, "If I go, does the Young Master think it's okay?"
"On behalf of the Bo's Mansion, I'm giving you fifty thousand taels." Pu Qiongzhi thought when she heard his words that this kid had some ideas.
Sun Shisan wrinkled his nose, "Young Master, this is not true."
"If you think it's okay, I can be more at ease. If you think it's not okay, I won't dare to do it."
"If you want to invest money, then invest money. Why do you still have to use the name of my husband's family and not even give him a clear answer?"
Pu Qiongzhi laughed and scolded, "You little bastard! I just don't have any money at the moment!"
"There are many powerful people in the capital, so this business is definitely not something you can starve to death. As for how to take the lead, it depends on how you do it!"
"Since the young master thinks it's okay, I will go to Beijing to try my luck!" Sun Shisan was happy when he heard it.
"Oh, you have quite the ambition!" Pu Qiongzhi was very excited when she saw him say this.
When I first saw this kid, he was following a group of little beggars and cheating people everywhere!
The father didn't like children with bad character, but Pu Qiongzhi still kept him.
Even if there are people who are capable but lack moral integrity, they can still be used with caution.
Besides, the child doesn't look bad, and it's just a helpless act because he is starving.
Although he cheated on the street, he would choose the people he cheated and was not without any bottom line. He would also share the food he had with other children.
Later, she found that he was very good at managing and employing people, and was adept at dealing with those cunning people, so she taught him some skills to make money.
Compared with Zhai Lou and the manager of Pu Mansion, Pu Qiongzhi only taught Sun Shisan the basics.
But the kid still found his own way.
Sun Shisan naturally remembered these things, and remembered them quite clearly.
It happened a few years ago.
At that time, he led a group of little beggars and told the young master that he wanted to open a pawnshop.
The young master was only ten years old at the time, but he was already very courageous. He gave him three thousand taels of silver and asked him to do it.
That was the first time in Sun Shisan's life that someone had such trust in him.
Now, he has saved up a lot of money.
These two days, he has been thinking about this matter since he heard Gong Ningbo talk about the differences between the capital and Jiangnan.
If he went to Beijing to open a pawn shop, could he make more money?
Not only that, what Gong Ningbo said about opening a tile shop in the capital was something he had never thought of.
He knew that the young master found this matter troublesome, so he didn't want to touch this business.
But he is not afraid of trouble, he wants to go to the capital to try his luck!
"Yes. I can't live my whole life in a muddle!" Sun Shisan showed his big white teeth.
Seeing his expression, Pu Qiongzhi said, "I've changed my mind. I'll give you 80,000 taels!"
"Young Master! This is all I have saved. Do you want to be the head master?" Sun Shisan wailed.
…
Pu Qiongzhi followed Sun Shisan and selected a large group of people from his territory.
But in the end, there were still a few maids missing.
Originally, Sun Shisan had a lot of people under his command, but recently a group of them were picked away by several customers.
"The remaining ones are still not good enough for you to take away."
Sun Shisan and Pu Qiongzhi naturally spoke the truth and were brief and concise.
He and other customers will add a little water to the food as appropriate, or make the price more convenient.
But he knew that Pu Qiongzhi didn't care about money, and what mattered most was that the work was done well.
"Okay. It's my fault for not telling you earlier. But, it's a big help now!"
Pu Qiongzhi is still relatively content.
After this matter was resolved, she set off directly back to the Pu family.
But on the way back, he saw a man carrying a little girl towards Sun Shisan's pawnshop.
Pu Qiongzhi sensed something was amiss and ordered, "Go back."
This kind of person doesn't look like a legitimate human trafficker, he looks more like a beggar. Don't get yourself into trouble.
She had to see how Sun Shisan handled this matter.
Having worked in this industry for so many years, Sun Shisan has seen a lot of things like this.
"Girl, how much silver do you want?" Sun Shisan narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.
The man laughed and asked slyly, "How much do you think you can give?"
"Such a little girl can't do anything. I have to support her. One or two taels of silver is the most!" Sun Shisan looked at the greed in the man's eyes and lowered the price severely.
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but say, "This girl is so pretty! We have to give her more!"
"The highest is one tael and five cents. It's up to you." Sun Shisan waved his fan.
The man's eyes rolled around, and after a moment, a gleam of light flashed as he said, "Forget it! I'll go to the brothel and ask!"
However, Sun Shisan is not someone to be trifled with.
He had seen a lot in this business, so he said lightly, "Stop."
A group of tall and strong guards blocked the man's way.
The man was a little nervous when he saw so many people. He turned around and asked, "You, are you trying to force me to buy it?"
"Then, then one ounce and five cents is one ounce and five cents... I'll keep this child."
"What are you talking about?" Sun Shisan lowered his head and chuckled, "That was the price just now."
"Now, I want to snatch someone away. What can you do to me?" He said, his lips straightening. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You have to make me angry!"
"Have you ever heard of thieves robbing each other? You know where this kid came from! Why don't you get out of here right now?"
The man's pupils shrank and he was so scared that he crawled out of the yard.
"Boss, do you want to report to the police?" asked the guard on the side.
Sun Shisan shook his head and said, "Wait two days, then you guys find a place where we can't see you and clean up."
If this kind of thing is reported to the authorities, they will naturally have ways to punish these people.
But once things got out of hand, these people wouldn't come anymore.
It would be better for them to do it themselves. Those people usually offend a lot of people, and getting beaten is commonplace.
"What should we do with this child?" asked the subordinate beside him.
Sun Shisan looked at the little girl. She was indeed very pretty. "Where are your parents?"
"My mother is in the tile house." The little girl answered obediently.
Sun Shisan found it amusing that she didn't cry or make a fuss, "You're not afraid at all."
"If I die, my mother will avenge me!" The little girl stared at the chubby face and said crisply.
Sun Shisan raised his eyebrows, "Pah! What's the use of dying?! Then I'll send you back to Wazi!"
"Thank you, uncle." The little girl actually called him a generation older.
Sun Shisan led the little girl outside, but found Pu Qiongzhi standing at the door.
"Young Master?" He froze and looked at her in amazement.
Pu Qiongzhi smiled slightly, "Well done!"
"It just so happens that I'm going to Wazi too, so why don't you come with me?"
