When Pan Jinlian and the others reached the door, two people in ragged clothes came into view.
One was big and one was small. The big one was about forty years old and was a thin man. The small one was only about fourteen or fifteen years old and was a little girl.。
"My lords, please be kind and give me some food to save my child.”Seeing Pan Jinlian and the others get off the carriage, the man hurriedly walked over and begged.
Pan Jinlian let out a long sigh and said to Hu Sanniang behind her,""Third Aunt, bring this father and son in for a meal and give them some silver.”
"Sigh! The world was in chaos. The emperor of Zhou was fatuous and tyrannical, and he only existed in name. The various dynasties fought endlessly, and the ones who suffered were the commoners.”
Shaking her head helplessly, Pan Jinlian opened the door and walked in.
"Master, this kind of thing can be seen everywhere. How much can master care about?”Wu Song was puzzled.
"Wu Er, you have to remember that every man has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the country," Pan Jinlian sighed. Although I am a woman, I also swore to let the common people live a good life. If the heavens and earth are not kind and treat all living things like dogs, I will go against the heavens. If the country is rotten, I will go against the country.”
"Good, Master has great ambition. Although Guan Yu is a martial artist, he also feels that Brother Wu Song is right. A fine bird chooses a tree to live in. From today onwards, he will pledge his loyalty to Master.”Guan Yu's face was filled with excitement. He felt proud to have met such a master.
"Haha, good. With Chief Yun's help, there's nothing I can't do.”Pan Jinlian laughed out loud. Then, she asked Wu Dalang to bring some food and prepared to go upstairs.
"I, Shen Zhongrong, have no way to repay your kindness. In my next life, I will be a cow or a horse to repay your kindness.”The middle-aged man suddenly knelt on the stairs, his face full of gratitude.
Hearing this, Pan Jinlian smiled and said,""A meal and…Wait, did you just say that you are Shen Zhongrong? Shen Wansan?"
"Eh? How do you know my name?" Shen Wansan was dumbfounded. He was just a low-level figure, how did he enter the eyes of such a big shot?
Hearing this, Pan Jinlian smiled helplessly. This evil spirit was really cunning. Guan Yu was a famous general and a Martial Saint, but she had turned him into a date seller.
Shen Wan's three families were extremely wealthy but were arranged to become beggars by this cunning person. It really made one speechless.
"From the way you talk, you're not an ordinary person either. How did you end up in such a state?”Pan Jinlian asked even though she already knew the answer. She was also laying the foundation for what she would say next.
"Sigh, I was originally a merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Because I offended someone, I had no choice but to escape to the Song Dynasty. However, I ran out of money and could only beg on the streets. If it wasn't for you, my daughter and I would have starved to death.”
"Since you are a merchant and a smart person, if you don't mind, you can stay and help me.”Pan Jinlian walked down the stairs and sat on a chair with Shen Wansan.
"I can't ask for more, but I don't dare to ask for wages. I just want to have enough food and clothing.”Shen Wansan's face was filled with gratitude. He wanted to pull his daughter to kneel, but Pan tried his best to stop him.
"Don't push it away. Have you ever been a shopkeeper?”Pan Jinlian asked with a smile.
"I did for a few years," Shen Wansan replied.
Pan Jinlian nodded and said," Alright. From today onwards, you'll be the manager of my winery. I have a winery for you to manage. Do you dare to take it?"”
" This..." Looking at Pan Jinlian's trusting gaze, Shen Wansan suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes. They had just met not long ago, and he was already treated like this. It was really like a woman dying for her lover, and a scholar dying for his confidant.
"Thank you for your trust, sir.”Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed three times, ignoring Pan Jinlian's attempts to stop him.
"I believe in your abilities. Do you think you can make a profit of 100,000 gold a year?”Pan Jinlian nodded and asked.
"This lowly one doesn't dare to say anything else, but I can guarantee 500,000 gold in the first year.”Shen Wansan thought for a moment and said confidently.
"Alright, I believe you. Just do it and let me know if you have any difficulties.”Pan Jinlian patted Shen Wansan's shoulder with a face full of trust.
On the other side, Guan Yu and Wu Song looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Clearly, they felt that these two people must be out of their minds.
One had to know that the Song Dynasty's annual tax was only sixty million taels of silver, which was equivalent to six million taels of gold.
What did Pan Jinlian have now? Just a small restaurant and a winery could earn one-sixth of the Song Dynasty's annual tax revenue in the first year? Wasn't this just a daydream? Do you think Shen Wansan is the God of Fortune?
"Milord, I have a family heirloom that I am willing to offer to Milord.”Suddenly, Shen Wansan put down his bowl and chopsticks and took out a golden basin from his pocket. The basin was not big, only one-fifth the size of the washbasin.
However, it was carved with all kinds of patterns and gold and silver streamers. It was extremely exquisite and beautiful.
"Milord, don't underestimate this thing. It's called a treasure bowl and is said to be able to gather wealth.”Seeing Guan Yu and Wu Song looking at him like he was an idiot, Shen Wansan panicked and said hurriedly.
"Yes, I believe you. However, this treasure can only display its greatest value in your hands. This treasure is indeed extraordinary.”He took the treasure bowl and looked at it. It was indeed a good treasure.
Although this treasure basin was only a supreme-grade magic tool, its effects were even more precious than spirit treasures. After all, luck, wealth, and so on were all illusory. How could a treasure that could gather wealth be an ordinary item?
Sigh, these two idiots are delusional! Guan Yu and Wu Song looked at each other helplessly.
