Chapter 835 Jiang Ziya Becomes an Official
The Jiejiao immortals, who were officials in the area, did not interfere with Shen Gongbao's actions, nor did they offer any support. After all, there was never a shortage of opportunists in this world. No matter how detailed Shen Gongbao's rules were, they could still be found by those high-IQ criminals.
Therefore, the rules set by Shen Gongbao can only govern for a short time, not forever. If people figure out the rules and find loopholes, then the rules should naturally be abolished!
After Jiang Ziya's repeated failures in his business ventures, he returned home dejected and was drinking alone when Shen Gongbao happened to come back from outside and saw the somewhat depressed Jiang Ziya!
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Senior brother, do you think I'm really useless? Not only am I a hopeless cultivator, but I also fail in every business venture! What's the point of me living?!"
Shen Gongbao originally thought Jiang Ziya was unhappy in his married life, but who would have thought that he was actually suffering from repeated business failures! Of course, Ma Shi also contributed to Jiang Ziya's dejection!
“Junior brother, Master once said that although you may find it difficult to achieve immortality, you can still enjoy worldly riches. The reason you haven’t become wealthy yet is likely because you haven’t found the right direction for development. I wonder what you’ve been doing lately?”
Jiang Ziya didn't hide anything and directly told Shen Gongbao about his entrepreneurial project. When Shen Gongbao learned that Jiang Ziya's entrepreneurial project had nothing to do with what he had learned over the years, he was at a loss for words!
After calming himself down a bit, Shen Gongbao tentatively asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, have you forgotten all the knowledge you've learned over the years? Why do you insist on relearning certain survival skills?"
After listening to Shen Gongbao's question, Jiang Ziya seemed to have been enlightened. He could not learn the business skills of Brother Song, so why could he change his path and transfer his livelihood to the field he was good at!
After thinking it over, Jiang Ziya decided to go and tell fortunes for the people of Chaoge City. As for entering the court as an official, commanding the war, and using his military knowledge to serve the Yin Shang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya felt that it was better to give up. After all, the Yin Shang Dynasty did not need such a talented person as him!
Song Yiren was quite surprised to learn that his sworn brother Jiang Ziya could tell fortunes. After all, through his own subtle inquiries, Song Yiren already knew that Jiang Ziya did mostly menial work on Kunlun Mountain and never expected that he had actually learned real skills!
To prevent Jiang Ziya from pretending to know what he didn't and fooling the people, which would ultimately lead to him having his legs broken by the people of Yin Shang, Song Yiren specially tested Jiang Ziya's divination abilities before setting up a fortune-telling shop for him!
After learning that Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling skills were genuine, Song Yiren did not hesitate any longer. He immediately selected a shop with a good location from among his many shops and set up a fortune-telling stall for him!
After the fortune-telling stall opened, Jiang Ziya's bad luck seemed to have ended. Although the money he earned from the divination each day was not much, it was still much better than the huge losses he had suffered before!
As time went by, Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling stall became more and more popular, and his fame rose rapidly. Before long, Jiang Ziya met the third benefactor in his life - Bi Gan!
After careful investigation, and confirming that Jiang Ziya was indeed a man of genuine talent and had a clean background, and was not sent by the enemy, Bi Gan introduced him to Emperor Xin.
Emperor Xin greatly admired this capable person from the Chan Sect. After learning about Jiang Ziya's abilities, he directly appointed him as a junior official!
When Madam Ma learned that she had become an official's wife, she was very happy. She no longer treated Jiang Ziya with the same disdain as before, but instead became much more enthusiastic!
Seeing the changes in Ma Shi, Jiang Ziya was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, but as unaccustomed as he was, he was happy to see the change in Ma Shi's attitude!
Song Yiren was surprised to learn that his brother Jiang had become a junior doctor without his knowledge. After the surprise came great joy. You know, in business, one should not fight with the government. He was able to develop the Song family business to such an extent because he was shrewd in dealing with people and had a reliable backer behind him!
