The business of a wealthy businessman

Jinjiaozhai is located on the main north-south trade route, and has been occupied by a gang of robbers for many years. On this day, the rich merchant Shen Wansan and his entourage passed by here, and they were stopped by this gang of robbers.

Shen Wansan and his party were escorted to the big leader, the Golden Horn King, only to see the Golden Horn King's angry eyes and eyebrows, forcing Shen Wansan to ask: "It seems that you are a treasurer, hand over the silver and let you live, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife." The Golden Horn King said as he swept the ghost head knife in his hand.

"Don't hurt our family's Old Master Shen!" An entourage shouted at the King of the Golden Horn.

"Old Master Shen? Could it be that you are Shen Wansan? The Golden Horn King's eyes lit up.

Shen Wansan nodded calmly.

If the Golden Horn King had obtained the most precious treasure, he laughed at the robbers and said, "Our brother has robbed a cornucopia today, and no one in the world knows how much Shen Wansan's money is!" ”

"Great King, I Have some savings for Shen Wansan, but I don't have silver with me today." Shen Wansan said lightly.

"I'm not afraid of bringing silver, I'll send someone to your house to get it!" With you there, are you still worried about not having silver? The Golden Horn King finished speaking, and laughed again.

The Golden Horn King said to the Silver Horn King beside him, "Brother Xian, this matter is not trivial, and I am bothering you to go there yourself." The Silver HornEd King agreed and set off.

"Slow down!" Shen Wansan stopped the Silver HornEd King, "Great King, my wife's silver is in the hands of my wife, without my handwritten letters, no one should think of spending silver from her." The nursing homes in the family will also think that the king is blackmailing, and he must send the king to the government. ”

The Golden Horn King listened and immediately ordered, "Prepare paper and ink, and let Old Master Shen repair a letter for the family." ”

Shen Wansan calmly spread out the paper, brushed a little bit, and drew a few paintings.

The Golden Horn King asked incomprehensibly, "Let you write letters, what are you doing with so many paintings?" ”

"Great King, I don't really want to hide anything, my wife can't read a few characters, I can only use the painting to tell her what to do, she sees the painting, she will follow my instructions, take out the silver."

When the Golden Horn King heard Shen Wansan say this, he was half-convinced and half-doubtful: "You first explain to me again, what do you mean by these paintings?" ”

Shen Wansan picked up the first painting, which depicted a horse tied to the head of the slot. Shen Wansan said, "This is to tell her to feed the horses of the people who come to her good grass and good materials, and after eating and drinking enough, the people who come will ride it back to the road." ”

The King of the Golden Horn took the second painting and asked, "What do you mean by the clothes and hats painted on it?" ”

Shen Wansan explained: "This is to tell her that the guests come from afar, the wind and dust servants, let her change the guests into a brand new dress." ”

The King of the Golden Horn listened, smiled with satisfaction, picked up the third painting, and asked, "Is this painting a lit silver ticket?" What does this mean? ”

Shen Wansan said, "This is to let her quickly take out the silver ticket, one hundred thousand is in a hurry." ”

The Golden Horn King pointed to the last painting and asked Shen Wansan incomprehensibly: "Old Master Shen, this one has a coffin painted on it, and there are two bowls in front of the coffin, and each bowl has a bun in it. ”

Shen Wansan immediately explained: "This is a warning to my wife to use delicious hospitality to come to the people, according to the requirements to hand over the silver tickets to the people who came, otherwise, she will only have to use a coffin to hold my body." ”

The Golden Horn King listened to Shen Wansan's explanation reasonably, and his attitude was also very cooperative, so he assured the Silver Horn King to quickly return. The Silver Horned King said confidently, "Big Brother rest assured, I am riding a thousand-mile horse, and within a day the guarantee will bring the silver back." ”

After sending away the Silver HornEd King, the Golden HornEd King gave Shen Wansan a seat and ordered him to bring good wine and meat, and to drink and chat with Shen Wansan. Shen Wansan was also not polite, as if he were in his own home, sitting side by side with the Golden Horn King, raising a glass and drinking freely.

After two days and one night, the Silver Horned King was barefoot, wearing only one trouser top on his body, and ran back very embarrassed.

The Golden Horn King asked busily, "Have you met a robber?" ”

The Silver HornEd King almost cried out, and said grievously: "Big brother, after reading the painting, the evil lady of their family cried loudly, saying that we have made their old man into a human meat bun, not to mention that there is good food and drink, to change into new clothes, she instructed the nursing home to snatch my horse, rip off my clothes and shoes, and give me a good beating!" ”

The Golden HornEd King immediately sank his face, overturned the wine table, and questioned Shen Wansan: "Didn't you say that after your wife reads the painting, she will understand what you mean?" ”

Shen Wansan looked innocent and said, "The Great King is angry, and he blames my wife for not having culture and misinterpreting my intentions." It seems that I personally went back to get the silver ticket and gave it to the king. ”

The Golden HornEd King was still angry and said, "You want to play tricks!" I can't easily let you go back, what if you go to the officials to requisition our cottage? ”

Shen Wansan was anxious to rub his hands straight and said, "If I don't go back, you won't get the money, and if I go back, you won't be assured, how is this good?" ”

All the robbers also frowned and thought hard about good advice.

Shen Wansan paced in the hall, suddenly thought of a way, and said to the King of the Golden Horn, "Great King, you robbed me for nothing more than a 'profit' word, you see this is good, I bought your village to develop and do business, you can stay and help me, you can also take the silver to another mountain." You sold the cottage, the Golden Horn Village is mine, and the official is not good for me at all. ”

The Golden Horn King listened to Shen Wansan's idea and felt that there was some truth; and when he heard the amount of silver that Shen Wansan came out, he was really shocked, and he had not robbed so much silver in all these years. All the robbers instigated the Golden Horn King to sell the mountain to Shen Wansan.

The two sides reached an agreement, just waiting for the next day to go to Shen Wansan's house to get the silver ticket, and this business was even negotiated.

Shen Wansan said to the King of the Golden Horn, "The Golden Horn Village will soon be mine, and I want to put on a feast and invite all the brothers to drink all night, how about it?" ”

The King of the Golden Horn thought that it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to come to the requisition for one night, so he ordered all the people who were standing guard to come back and drink.

It was not yet dawn, and the crowd was already drunk. Officers and soldiers surrounded the Golden Horn Village and easily captured the robbers.

The Silver Horn King complained to the Golden Horn King, "Big Brother, let's let Shen Wansan play!" ”

The Golden Horn King still did not believe that it was Shen Wansan who had attracted the officers and soldiers. He asked Shen Wansan, "We have been drinking together, how did you send the news to the officers and soldiers?" ”

Shen Wansan laughed and said, "Great King, do you remember those paintings?" The first painting of the slot head tethered horse, tethered to the slot head is it still able to walk? You don't look closely, there is no painted hay in the manger, how can it be possible for the lady to feed the horses with good grass and good material? That is, I want my wife to take down the horse, let the people return on foot, and give the officers and men enough time to dispatch. ”

Shen Wansan then said, "In the second painting, the clothes and hats are neatly arranged there, and I instructed my wife to rip off his clothes and teach this robber who robbed the house a good lesson." As for the third painting, there is no deep meaning, it is to fool you, the silver ticket is ignited by the fire, and finally only ash can be left, and of course Madame will not give you anything. ”

The robbers were all fascinated as if they were listening to a story. The King of the Golden Horn asked, "What does it mean that the fourth painting, a coffin, with two bowls of buns in front of it?" How did you bring in the officers and soldiers? ”

Shen Wansan then explained to everyone: "This coffin and bun refer to the official, a total of two bowls, meaning two nights, I let the wife inform the officers and soldiers, on the second night to surround and suppress the cottage." The Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King both lowered their heads after listening, and they had to be convinced.

In fact, this time he was tied to the cottage, which Shen Wansan had planned in advance. It turned out that the merchants who came to and from The Golden Horn Village were often harassed by this gang of robbers, which made Shen Wansan's business difficult. The officers and men had been requisitioned many times, but this gang of robbers was familiar with the terrain and encircled and suppressed them several times, but they all lost their troops and returned without success. This time, Shen Wansan and the officers and men studied the countermeasures, and when the officers and soldiers received the information from Shen Wansan's wife, they joined forces with Shen Wansan and took down the Golden Horn Village in one fell swoop.

Shen Wansan made meritorious contributions to assisting the officers and soldiers in eliminating the bandits, and received rich rewards from the government. After the common people learned about this incident, they all exclaimed, no wonder Shen Wansan was able to get rich, and his business experience was read into the robber's den!
