Crossing the God of Warring States System

Chapter 21 Shopkeeper Wu Zhong
Wu Zhong, the manager of Leju Inn, felt quite comfortable today. He could count very quickly using what he learned from Zhou Zihao. It was easy to get started and he just had to memorize it.

It was a coincidence that when Wu Zhong went to a small businessman's gathering in Linzi, everyone else brought the accountant from his own store, but Wu Zhong did not bring the accountant's entourage because of his relatively small business.

In the middle of the party, there was a little competition among the accountants to see who could calculate the fastest.

When Wu Zhong said that he would also participate, others laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities, because Wu Zhong's usual arithmetic performance was really poor, so bad that it was terrible to look at it.

They thought that Wu Zhong did it out of his brain, and it would be ugly if he lost the game between the shopkeeper and the accountant.

However, the result surprised them, because all the accountants lost to Wu Zhong, the shopkeeper who runs the post house.There are many accountants who specialize in calculations and bookkeeping for the boss, and those who deal with numbers every day have easily lost to a shopkeeper who is usually very sloppy with calculations.

This matter made them very dissatisfied. They wanted to ask Wu Zhong how he learned such arithmetic skills.

However, Wu Zhong gave them a pass, saying that there was a business to cooperate with them, and it was about computing.

They all looked at Wu Zhong with envious eyes, secretly lamenting Wu Zhong's good luck to meet such an awesome character.

The face is earned enough on this day, and the praises received in a lifetime are not as much as today.

In the end, Wu Zhong returned to his post house amidst their praises, and found that Zhou Zihao hadn't come back yet. Seeing that it was getting dark, he still didn't see Zhou Zihao return to the post house, thinking in his heart that Zhou Zihao might have left.

Seeing that it was Xu time (19 to 21 o'clock), if it was normal, Wu Zhong would have wanted to close the door a long time ago.

Today, I want Zhou Zihao to teach him something useful, and I want Zhou Zihao to finalize what the cooperation I mentioned earlier is.

When it was Haishi, Zhou Zihao and Wang Yanran approached the posthouse from a distance, and Wu Zhong stepped forward to meet him as soon as he saw him.

He said to Zhou Zihao with a look of surprise: "You are finally back, did you think you all disappeared together?"

Zhou Zihao and the two of them were confused by the shopkeeper's words. They didn't know what he meant, let alone why the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic about them.

Wang Yanran could tell, Zhang Yi and the others didn't go back to the post house, and they didn't know where to rest at such a late hour, so don't worry about their safety, they are all martial arts learners.

Zhou Zihao walked up to Wu Zhong, Zou frowned and said, "You mean the people who came with me didn't go back to the post house?"

Wu Zhong nodded, and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, the arithmetic you taught is very useful. I made a big splash today, I..."

Wu Zhong saw that Zhou Zihao didn't listen to him carefully, but had a worried expression on his face, so he knew that he was worried about his friend's safety.

Zhou Zihao said to Wang Yanran: "Brother, where are they going back so late?"

Wang Yanran shook her head to express her ignorance.

The shopkeeper Wu Zhong led them back to the post house. When they returned to the counter, Zhou Zihao asked Wang Yanran to go back to the room to rest by himself, while he was going to ask the shopkeeper what happened when they didn't come home at night.

Wu Zhong explained: "There are two situations in which your friend does not return to the post house. One is to go to a place of drinking and sex, and the other is to be taken in by a friend."

Zhou Zihao experienced a lot of things today. First, he played football, he was able to fight before participating in a political meeting, and later he met a bounty hunter to do a task, and then he was chased and killed for no reason. Although everything was unexpected, But it shows that this Linzi is not as safe as imagined.

The shopkeeper, Wu Zhong, was still thinking about the cooperation that Zhou Zihao said before, but now seeing that his mood had improved a little, he hinted softly to Zhou Zihao: "What is the cooperation that Mr. Zhou mentioned before?"

"You mean to cooperate with you last time? I will remember, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhou Zihao thought hard, and then he remembered to make an abacus for him, and make some appointments with the boss.

Seeing that Zhou Zihao agreed, Wu Zhong happily went to prepare for closing.Wu Zhong did this because he was afraid that Zhou Zihao would leave the post house tomorrow and could not find anyone, so the cooperation would come to naught.

In fact, if the shopkeeper hadn't mentioned it, maybe Zhou Zihao would have forgotten that there was such a thing. At that time, he wanted to make an abacus on a whim to make a fortune, but today's experience made him change his mind.

A small thing like an abacus can only make a little money, so there is nothing to look forward to. Besides, he got a house today, and Yan Hui said that he would give him a house and servants, so after today, he doesn't have to worry about where to live.

Of course, the matter of being the prince of Qi country has to be considered in the long run. You can't just go to the palace and say that you are a prince, maybe you will be beaten to death before you say it.

What he didn't know was that King Xuan of Qi and the others knew that Zhou Zihao was the prince, just because the expert behind the Empress of the East Palace said that he wanted him to experience more outside affairs.

let it go.

Zhou Zihao put away his thoughts and dragged his tired body back to the room.

Zhou Zihao spent some energy to buy an abacus in the mall, which is similar to the manual tools of this era.

This abacus was a template bought by Zhou Zihao, and he planned to ask Wu Zhong, the shopkeeper, to find someone to copy a dozen or twenty copies tomorrow, and then he would see the market.

There was also an instruction manual inside the abacus. Zhou Zihao opened it and saw that it was in the language of the Warring States Period. Anyone who could read could understand it here. His process can be omitted, which is great.

As long as it is handed over to the shopkeeper for use tomorrow, he doesn't have to worry about the future, and it doesn't matter to him whether he makes money or not.

The abacus is still very useful. In this era of scarcity, our ancestors used abacus to calculate the data of missiles. It was such a big project. This small abacus also played a certain role.

I remember my grandparents said that at that time other countries blocked us, and the United States and the Soviet Union were eyeing China. If it weren't for the manufacture of missiles, which are weapons that can bomb the sky, China's development would definitely not be so smooth.

Using the evolution of modern Chinese history to look at the current Warring States has the same effect. Qi is surrounded by the sea on three sides, has no support, and is surrounded by other powerful countries.

Because he is most afraid of the growth of Qi State, while Qin State itself is constantly encroaching on the surrounding territories to strengthen itself, similar to Russia's encroachment on China back then, unknowingly becoming a big country.

"System, system, when will you understand me?"

Zhou Zihao prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could have unlimited energy, so that he could develop more things, instead of saving some energy to buy everything like now.

Just like when I used a mobile phone with a monthly data package, I didn’t dare to use too much at once, for fear that I would have to add more packages if I ran out of data.

He hoped that it would be great if the system had a limited exemption event, even if it was only part of it.Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

But everyone related to him fell into a state of insomnia.
