Not long after, the emperor issued a decree to suspend the national debt, and only agreed to the Pingnan Army to draw lijin to supply military supplies. The lijin of the four provinces of Shaanxi, Henan, Hunan, and Hubei were all controlled by the Pingnan Army. Whether it will continue to be implemented after the war will be discussed later.Ting Shuang had to admire the emperor's shrewdness when he received the order. Now Shaanxi is in the hands of the rebel Wang Fuchen, and Hunan and Hubei are still occupied by King Wu. The emperor's intention is clearly that he wants money, right?The land is allocated to you, and taxes can only be collected after it is settled. It is like hanging a carrot in front of Baoqi's nose to force him to settle the promised land as soon as possible. This is quite a clever move.

Although he admired the emperor's foresight and shrewdness, Ting Shuang was dissatisfied with his eccentricity. Why did Jiangnan's wealth be given to King Shuncheng's Jingkou army, and Baoqi's Pingnan army had to raise their own wages. The three provinces of Shaanxi and Lianghu It's still in the hands of the enemy, and it's a gross tax. Wait for Baoqi to make a show for you, and see if you prefer Shun Chengwang's bastards.Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction in my heart, and I can only make up my mind until the Henan province has just been settled.

Ting Shuang planned to put the Dajun Food Station in Kaifeng, where the water and land transportation is convenient. The person who brought him would naturally bring Qinshu. Ping An had followed his servant since childhood, so he had to take him to run errands. The second and third wanted to go, but Qinshu said to avoid suspicion , can not bring.He could only bring a few more smart and capable people. Shi Jie recommended two reliable people and passed on his employment experience to Ting Shuang.

It is very important to employ people to achieve a career. It is best to have both virtue and ability. If not, it is better to use a fool with virtue but no talent than a villain with talent but no virtue.Hard work is sometimes more useful than smartness. If a smart person doesn't work hard, the effect will be zero, and a hard-working person will be a great leader in the future if he teaches well.Shi Jie's selection of men and sons-in-law all follow these principles.

Ting Shuang was taught with an open mind. She used to read a lot of YY articles on the Internet. It was very refreshing to see the clever protagonist turn things around with an idea, but that was a novel. First, people who are down-to-earth, honest, humble and low-key are the first choice, and people who are smart and impetuous should use it with caution.

Ting Shuang selected the candidates, and then gave detailed instructions to the family. First, tell the second child to take care of the family business and the work in the field. Some wealthy households fled to the capital, and the remaining real estate can be bought at a low price.Then tell the old San Tingke that the business of the powder shop has been suspended, and the cloth has to be made quickly, because Dajun's quilts are a big deal, and they can't afford this big business, so they need to find someone to cooperate.

Tell Zhang Wuge, who is in charge of the mules and horse farm, to find a way to buy more mules and horses for transportation.He also told the monkey man in charge of wine making that the production of light fruit wine was suspended, and he changed to stronger wine that the warriors liked. The monkey man knew that the turning point for business development had arrived, so he took up the task excitedly.

Then tell Xiao Ye who is in charge of the grain business and farming, food is the most important thing, you must take care of it, and finally tell Ting Qiu who manages the pharmacy. Tingqiu was puzzled, now is a good opportunity for his family to expand their business, why the price of medicines is still the same as before.

Ting Shuang believes that if he uses his authority to raise the price of medicine and sell it to the military camp, it is very likely that the censor will use it to benefit the public. Besides, no matter how good the medicine of Jingdetang is, it is only a brand in Changping County, and it has not been promoted to the whole country. The supply of military camps is equivalent to tens of thousands of 10,000+ people working as free propagandists. As long as the medicine is ready, the brand will be launched nationwide after the war. This benefit is immeasurable.

"Of course, the premise is that the medicine must be good." Ting Shuang emphasized the quality issue again.

Huang Xin, the pharmacist in charge of dispensing, said that his family's prescriptions are definitely good, especially Zhuge Xingjun powder is a good medicine for curing epidemics.

People who dispense medicines in pharmacies are called pharmacists here. It happened that the pharmacist in Jingdetang was surnamed Huang, so people called him Huang Yaoshi.The name made Ting Shuang's hair black, and he didn't care about the name issue, so he only warned: "Your medicine is easy to sell, and you get more money, otherwise you will be in bed."

Yaoshi Huang said: "My family's ancestral prescriptions are the most effective. People said that my medicines are not good. It was not because they deliberately cut corners, but because some important ingredients were not easy to buy, so they had to use inferior products."

Ting Shuang went to Shoucang County again, found a familiar Boss Wei, and asked him to be responsible for the supply of raw materials for the medicine, and must ensure the quality.Boss Wei is decent and helpful to Ting Shuang, so he will naturally live up to his entrustment.

Ting Shuang had arranged a lot of things at home and was about to set off, but saw a woman in rags and clothes timidly looking at him at the door of the house. Ting Shuang was about to ask her, but found that the woman was Fu Rong.

"why you?"

No matter how she got to this point and how faceless she was, Ting Shuang wanted to beat her up, but she still had the habit of being courteous to women in her previous life, so she didn't beat her up in the end.

"Young master, please save me." Furong wept, and briefly explained the story. After she ran away with the money, she spent two years with her friend. Read along with her, so she put her mind on Tingzhi and got a sum of money. Later, her friend rolled up the money and left her to escape. It was the time of war, and she had no way out as a woman, so she had to beg all the way here. looking for son.

Ting Shuang sneered: "You still remember your son, since you sold him to Shen's house, you should go to Shen's house to find him, what are you doing here?"

Fu Rong was crying, very sad: "I know I was wrong, I was hungry and cold, I was sick for a long time, and finally made it here, I think Zhi Zhi, if the Shen family is not a good family, I will not die The one who brought Zhizhi there, ugh..."

Aunt Li is also a mother. Seeing her pitiful, she became sympathetic and persuaded: "Master, please forgive her. She is a woman with shallow eyesight. After all, she didn't do anything harmful to nature. I found a good friend to study with, otherwise our family would not know the Shen family."

"It's fine if she wants to find friends and teachers for Zhizhi, but she can't collect money, that's selling a child. You still speak for her with such an inhumane thing." Ting Shuang spoke fiercely, but she couldn't bear to really say that She was driven away, there was chaos outside, she was a woman and sick, if she was driven away, it would be a dead end, after all, she and Tingzhi were in love with each other, if she really wanted to put her to death, Tingzhi would regret it all her life, according to modern humanism Even the wounded and sick of the enemy have to be taken in and treated, and besides, she is just a pitiful and hateful woman.

"You can stay here." Ting Shuang gave her three rules, "Don't let anyone know that you are Zhizhi's mother, and don't hook up with others. You can only be a slave in Meng's house. Work hard and listen to everything." Aunt Li's arrangement, I will never forgive you when I come back and find that you are restless."

Fu Rong quickly agreed. It is not easy to have a shelter in troubled times, and she agreed to even the harshest conditions.

Ting Shuang arranged everything and set off for Kaifeng with Qin Shu and Ping An.Just in case, he entrusted Hu Junxian to help raise food and grass.

Hu Junxian saw on the mansion that the emperor ordered the execution of the businessman who raised the price of grain and secretly communicated with the rebel army. He felt cold on the back of his neck. Fortunately, he did not earn the money for the beheading after listening to Ting Shuang's words. , otherwise the beheaded person must have his share.Naturally, she became more and more convinced of Ting Shuang, saying that she would do her best to raise food.Ting Shuang knew that the Hu family had a strong foundation and had connections in shopping malls and official circles, so she was very relieved.

Along the way, Qin Shu seized the time to give Ting Shuang a little bit of official etiquette, what kind of etiquette when meeting superiors, what kind of etiquette when seeing subordinates, what kind of etiquette when meeting officials of the same level, and what kind of etiquette to use when meeting squires. The manuscript, please use the name card.What is the etiquette when meeting superiors and peers on the road?For civil servants and military officials, how to call the officials in Beijing can not be wrong. In the country, if the etiquette is wrong, it will be laughed at or reprimanded.Ting Shuang's brow was sweating, and he just memorized the exam questions, and swore to himself that after finishing this errand, I would say nothing.

When he arrived in Kaifeng, Tingshuang made a sedan chair for the first time. It was inhumane to replace animals with humans during the war, but Qin Shu said that this was official authority, and he had to ask for it, otherwise people would accuse him of being disrespectful, and at the same time, for a To repay the wish I made when I left desolately, I had no choice but to put on airs and return to Kaifeng City in a sedan chair.

In addition to bringing a few helpers, Li Dongsheng also brought hundreds of regiments who had previously trained, equivalent to the "militiamen" of later generations, and marched into the city majestically.

Ting Shuang didn't pay a visit to the governor's prefect, but first prepared a gift and visited his father's old friend, Mr. Feng, and asked him about the personnel changes here in the past few years.

Mr. Feng said that Chen Antai was responsible for the downfall of the prefect of Luo back then. Float.As he spoke, Master Feng sighed in embarrassment.

Regarding that matter, Ting Shuang has also introspected. In addition to objective reasons, there are also mistakes he made on his own side. After learning a lesson, he will never make such a mistake again, and he doesn't want to worry about it anymore. Attempts to bully him still have to be counted.

Ting Shuang asked again: "Does the Chen family have a bank?"

Mr. Feng said: "The Yongsheng Bank at the east end of Song Street was opened by his family. After Chen Antai brought down the prefect of Luo, he became a prefect himself within two years. He was afraid that people would say that he was competing with the people for profit. On the surface, this bank was Using his cousin's name is actually his capital."

Master Feng also shared a lot of gossip about the Chen family. The most important thing is that the Chen family is greedy for profiteering, and they put a few accounts out and couldn't get them back. You can make it look good right away.

Ting Shuang said nothing after hearing this, and left.After preparing presents, I called on Governor Zhang Bin first.After the last inspection of the family property, Zhang Bin also knew that he had misunderstood him, and with the support of the court officials Ruan Ying and Shen Zaisi, especially the support of the emperor, he did not dare to make things difficult, saying that he would do his best to support the matter of food and pay, and he would not be held responsible. The emperor entrusted so much.

Ting Shuang smiled slightly when she heard this, Kaifeng fell, and a group of officials became captives of the rebel army. Or Baoqi took advantage of the momentum to wipe out Gao Cheng's army and regained the whole territory in one go. With the military power in hand, would the governor dare not do his best?Ting Shuang didn't point it out, but only asked the governor not to collect grain by mistake.

The next step was to visit the prefect of Kaifeng. Chen Antaiwan didn't expect him to come back in this way, and felt very disturbed.After the middle door was opened to enter the government office, Ting Shuang did not speak, but lightly skimmed the scum in the tea bowl, looking very focused.

Chen Antai was very upset. Zhifu is a fifth-rank official, and Ting Shuang is also a fifth-rank official, but he is a fifth-rank specially conferred by the emperor, and now he is receiving an errand from the supervisor of the grain platform, but this position is fourth-rank. , I am still one level lower than him, I am really upset.

Chen Antai had no choice but to speak first: "What orders does your lord come here for?"

Ting Shuang smiled kindly: "I was thinking that it would be better to entrust a reliable bank agent for the money brought in from all over the province. Which bank do Brother Chen think is better?"

The advantage of the bank as an agent of the public treasury is that there is no need to pay interest for business investment with public funds, which is equivalent to using public funds for nothing. The disadvantage is that public funds can only be mobilized for a short period of time.For a bank with investment channels, it is a good way to act as an agent for the public treasury. Even if you are on a white job, you can act as an agent for the public treasury, and the credit rating in the hearts of customers can also skyrocket.In short, the benefits are great.

Chen Antai saw that he asked, so he counted all the money houses in Kaifeng Prefecture. He had an amazing memory, eight big money houses, a dozen small money shops, where they opened, and how much capital they had.Ting Shuang also had to admire.Among the people he knows, only Qinshu can compare with him.

"Brother Chen has a good memory. As expected, his family has opened a bank. It's really amazing. I wonder which bank bank Brother Chen thinks is more reliable?" Ting Shuang put on a look of asking for advice.

Chen Antai hesitated for a moment. He still couldn't bear the temptation because of the current interests, and said, "Yongsheng is good, with large capital and good reputation, and Yiyuan is also good. It is an old store for decades."

"According to what Brother Chen said, how about having Yongsheng act as an agent for the public treasury of the Pingnan Army Liangtai, and handle all the transactions of public funds?" Ting Shuang looked at him innocently, asking for advice.

Chen Antai's heart was thumping, and such a big pie was placed in front of him, and he couldn't help being tempted. Seeing his hesitation, Ting Shuang said, "I plan to set up a card in Kaifeng Mansion first, and ask Mr. Chen to cooperate." .”

Chen Antai saw that he wanted something for himself, and thought that he took the initiative to show his favor in order to get the cooperation of the local government to complete the errand, so he was relieved, and immediately finalized the matter of Yongsheng acting as the agent of the Liangtai public treasury, and the host and guest broke up happily.

Going back to the next place, Ping An didn't understand and asked: "The Chen family ruined our business a few years ago, and the young master is still reconciled with him?"

Ting Shuang thought it was funny: "Could it be enough for me to go over aggressively and bring a kitchen knife? Then he was prepared for it?"

Ping An understood a little bit, but in a blink of an eye he couldn’t understand it anymore. Ting Shuang ordered him to buy the bank notes issued by Yongsheng. Ping An saw that he was going to deal with Chen Antai, but he didn’t understand what was going on. He insisted on supporting even if he didn’t understand In principle, take orders to go down to do things, gearing up to prepare for a big battle with the Chen family.
