Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Gu Jiu didn't lie to everyone.

The out-of-town wealthy merchants indeed organized a delegation to come to Beijing and sent her a greeting card.

Among them, the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are the most generous.

He directly promised to buy five million taels of Sihai bonds, and the condition was to fight for them and build two cement roads going south. Construction will begin in the spring of next year at the latest.

The Southwest luxury businessmen have similar ideas, one is to build roads, and the other is to talk about cooperation.

Gu Jiu curled his fingers and tapped on the table lightly.

She said bluntly: There are many mountains and water in the south, and the cost of building bridges and paving roads is much more expensive than that in the vast north.

We can raise funds. Jiangnan's wealthy businessmen are very straightforward, We will build it like the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, with toll stations and rest stations. We hope that the rest station can also occupy a small share. One thing does not bother the two masters, the cement road It will still be built by Sihai and managed by Sihai. We only pay for it and don’t intervene in specific matters.”

The cement road in the north is coveted by wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River. However, they have self-knowledge, and they will definitely not be able to compete with the tyrants of the Northland.

Simply settle for the next best thing, build a new road, and find opportunities for yourself again.

The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, so there should be a cement road.

One is not enough, at least two.

This will greatly reduce shipping costs, as well as shipping times. Strengthen the connection between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River.

The wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River can use this to dump more goods to the north.

In terms of doing business, the Jiangnan people are stronger.

Southwest also has many mountains and rivers, making road construction even more difficult.

Fortunately, there is a ready-made official road, which only needs to be paved with cement on the original site.

It would be even better if the road can be properly widened, a few more bridges can be built, and a few detours around mountains can be reduced.

Rich merchants have money, can't they pay for road construction themselves?

Why do you have to ask Gu Jiu?

This is about geographical restrictions.

Rich businessmen can pay for their own money to build bridges and pave roads in their hometowns.

But only at home.

You, a native of Huzhou, went to Chuzhou to build roads,

What does it mean to connect the official roads of the two places? Do you want to buy people's hearts?

Want to raise funds to build a cement road from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River?

Say! What is the purpose?

Could it be that they want to rebel?

Without the leadership of the government and the permission of the court, it is absolutely impossible to build roads on your own.

The most convenient way for wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to build roads is to ask Gu Jiu to come forward.

As long as Gu Jiu agrees to build the road, all problems will be solved.

The Four Seas Trading Company built roads, but getting His Majesty's permission is equivalent to getting a license from the imperial court.

This is much better than spending money on relationships.

Instead of spending money on ten people, twenty people can help. Not necessarily helpful yet.

It's better to concentrate financial and material resources and ask Gu Jiu to come forward.

She alone can do what the other 20 court officials can do.

Gu Jiu looked at the rich merchants with a smile, Building roads is not something that happens overnight, and His Majesty may not agree to it.

If others come forward, His Majesty may object. But if Madam comes forward, I believe that the road construction will go smoothly.

The wealthy merchants talked a lot and gave Gu Jiu a high hat.

Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word, and when everyone finished speaking and there was no movement in the hall, she said again: To be honest, my wife doesn't do much good for helping you build roads.

I would like to underwrite 200,000 bolts of cotton cloth.

I can help promote the popularization of honeycomb coal in the south, and the four seas can draw profits in proportion.

I would like to be a distributor of water trucks.

I wish...

Everyone scrambled to be the first, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Sihai in business. And the conditions are favorable.

Gu Jiu knocked on the table, I have seen everyone's sincerity, thank you for trusting Sihai in my wife. Sihai bonds...

We buy. We buy as much as we have.

Everyone is so sincere, and my wife is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. Regarding the road construction, you should go back and wait for the news. There will be a result before the end of the year.

this……

There is still some time before the end of the year.

If there are any variables in this...

Gu Jiu had a half-smile, If you don't trust me, it's as if you haven't met today. Please go back.

Ma'am misunderstood, I have absolutely no intention of that.

Yeah, we have absolutely no intention of that.

Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word.

The wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River exchanged glances with each other, and there was a tacit understanding between them.

Immediately make a decision to buy Sihai bonds.

Anyway, it's not for nothing.

The annual interest is 10%, which is also an income.

Gu Jiu laughed, Thank you for your generosity. If you have any questions, please ask the steward. My wife has other things to do, so I will leave first.

Gu Jiu got up and left, and asked the stewards below to greet these wealthy merchants.

She went straight to the second floor.

Bai Zhong went upstairs to report the situation.

Two cement roads, each took 40% of the shares, and they have all been sold. The bonds have also been sold for nearly three million taels.

Bai Zhong put the ledger on the table so that Gu Jiu could look it over.

While flipping through the ledger, Gu Jiu asked, Nothing went wrong, right? What's everyone talking about?

Everyone still has doubts about bonds. They are curious about what we are going to do by issuing so many bonds. I keep asking if there are any big projects in Sihai. If there are big projects, don't forget to call them.

Gu Jiu laughed, Didn't you say that Si Hai went bankrupt?

Bai Zhong shook his head, In the beginning, some people speculated whether Si Hai was going to go bankrupt. I heard that wealthy businessmen organized a group to meet his wife in Beijing, and similar speculation disappeared.

Gu Jiu hummed, I'm going to send you to Jiangling Mansion, are you willing?

Bai Zhong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily, This old slave is willing.

After so many years of experience in the capital, it was time for him to leave the capital and go outside to work hard.

Gu Jiu added: In the next few years, the northwest side will become more and more important. Deng Cunli will take Ma Xiaoliu with him, and will continue to operate in the northwest. I plan to hand over the capital side to Zhao Minfa. Before you go to Jiangling, bring Zhao Minfa in the area, let him get started as soon as possible. Now only real estate development and iron and steel smelting are left in the capital.

Smelting iron and steel is the most important thing, so we must make arrangements before leaving. Gangneung will be the center of gravity in the future. For the bonds issued this time, one-third of the silver taels obtained will be kept, and you will take the rest to Jiangling. When you arrive in Jiangling, if you have any questions, please write back and let me know. Jiangling has a lot to do, so you can do it boldly.

Xiao Xiao understands. Thank you Madam for your trust in Xiao. So much money has been taken to Jiangling by my hands. To be honest, Xiao Xiao is really a little nervous.

Gu Jiu smiled, Don't be afraid! Such a big capital city can be played by you. A mere Jiangling mansion is not a problem. Jiangling will be our rear, linking the north and south, and rich in products. Make good use of you strengths, let go and do it.”

I listen to Madam.

The official roads and rivers leading to the northwest of Jiangling Mansion must be dredged as soon as possible. From now on, all supplies destined for the northwest will no longer go to the capital, but go directly to Jiangling to the north.

Using the cement road as bait, the 10 million taels of bonds issued by the Four Seas Trading Company should not go too smoothly.

In just two or three hours, they were all sold out.

Those who bought the bonds carried the bonds with them. These are all money!

One piece is ten thousand taels.

It's too expensive.

However, the production is really exquisite and realistic, which can catch up with the illustrations in Wenqing Bookstore's rare edition of the storybook.

Squeeze the paper and it seems to be waterproof. I don't know how to make it.

It seems that there is no way to imitate it.

The printing technology of the four seas is really mouth-watering.

I heard that Shaofu Bank's bills are now all printed by the printing workshop under Wenqing Bookstore.

I don't know if we can dig out one of the masters inside, then it will be prosperous.

Many people have similar dreams.

Wenqing Bookstore, let the world know that printing and publishing can also make a lot of money.

And it is a steady stream of big money, money that can eat for a lifetime.

However, Wenqing Bookstore does not raise funds from outside, nor does it issue bonds, let alone sell shares.

In vain.

If Wenqing Bookstore is willing to issue shares, even if it is only 10% of the shares, rich and powerful people from all over the country will block the gate of Wenqing Bookstore, waving bank notes and scrambling to buy them.

These days, it is not easy to come across a profitable business.

How many people beat their chests and feet, missed the construction of houses in Xinmin County, missed the market in Xinmin County, missed the concrete road from Beijing to Luozhou, and missed Wenqing Bookstore...

Now, never miss any project of Cosmopolitan Commercial Bank.

The four seas are the hen that lays the golden eggs, so we must hold them tightly.

Even if you can't hold it tight, follow closely behind.

Everyone clings to the bond that is next to their body.

Does this count as a vote of honor that everyone handed over to Si Hai?

They were the first to buy the bonds of the four seas.

When Four Seas has new projects in the future, should they also be given priority?

But I don't want to think about it, when these bonds are redeemed, Sihai will give a generous interest.

Essentially, this is a sale.

No matter, no matter.

Wang Ba recited the scriptures, but he didn't listen.

Anyone who has sold bonds firmly believes that they are special in the eyes of the world. Next time, we will definitely be able to give priority to snapping up shares.

...

Gu Rui was invited to the second floor.

Brother Gu Rui is here, please sit down. Gu Jiu stood up and greeted Gu Rui.

Sister Xiaojiu has worked hard, you're welcome.

The maid Ah Qing remade the tea, brought it out, and placed it on both sides of the table.

Gu Jiu was the first to say: I checked the ledger, and the lobby brother also subscribed for the shares of the cement road from Beijing to Northwest.

Gu Rui put down the teacup, This is your sister-in-law's idea, and I listen to her. I'm here today, and I have one more thing besides buying cement road shares.

But how to deal with the investment that Old Hou Ye put in the four seas, has a decision been made?

Gu Rui nodded, Exactly!

Appreciate further details.

Gu Rui said: The obligee has been changed to the names of my father, second uncle, and third uncle. The previous investment remains the same and continues to operate. The Hou Mansion does not plan to withdraw the principal.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows.

It means that the first, second, and third houses of the Hou Mansion have all become rights holders.

She said softly: I thought it would be registered under the old lady's name.

Gu Rui shook his head, In the beginning, everyone thought that it would be most appropriate to register the old master's private property under the old lady's name. But the old lady disagreed. The old lady said that she was too old to take care of these properties. So Divide the old Hou Ye's private property into two parts, one part is placed under the name of the Hou Mansion and becomes the public property, and the other part is placed under the name of my father's second uncle and third uncle. This is a document.

Gu Rui put a stack of documents on the table, and asked Gu Jiu to have a look.

Gu Jiu flipped through the documents, and there were not only the seals of the old lady, the seal of Lord Hou, but also the seals of the second and third bedrooms, and the seal of the yamen.

Just wait for Gu Jiu to change the name of the obligee.

Gu Jiu received the letter, I will send someone to go to the yamen as soon as possible to go through the formalities of changing the right holder. The Hou Mansion has dealt with the old Hou Ye's property, are the concubines not making trouble?

It's useless to make trouble! The old lady is the first-class lady and the aunt. The old lady speaks, and the uncles of the concubine can only endure it. However, the old lady is kind-hearted and promised that the Hou's government will subsidize each family with five hundred taels of silver every year. Children and grandchildren study, and daughters get married, and the Marquis Mansion will also give corresponding financial subsidies.

Gu Jiu said: It's still the old lady who is sharp and quick to cut through the mess, and subdue the troublesome uncles in two or three strokes. I'll pay my respects to the old lady tomorrow when I'm free.

The old lady has been looking forward to sister Xiaojiu.

Gu Jiu promised to go over to pay his respects when he was free.

After Gu Rui finished his business, he got up and left.

When he reached the door, he turned back and said: Recently, I have brought a few brothers with me, and the guards in the mansion have practiced every day, and I have gained a lot of insights.

Gu Jiu's face brightened, No wonder I think Brother Gu Rui has become more energetic, and he should practice more.

Gu Rui smiled for the first time today, Thank you, sister Xiaojiu. If you have time, let your sister-in-law treat you to tea, if you don't mind.

Brother Gu Rui is polite, how can I dislike it. The Hou's mansion is filial, and others think it is unlucky, I will never dislike it. As long as you post a post, I will definitely go there.

Sister Xiaojiu has a heart.
