The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Maybe 4000 taels is an astronomical sum for others, but for Wang Guizhi, these 4000 taels can buy [-] acres of tidal wasteland, which is really a bargain!

She spread out several maps that were actually the same as Jia Zheng's, but marked differently, and said to Jiang Shirong and the three stewards who were re-elected, "how to grow seaweed and kelp in a raft culture, manage gatherings and activities, and market all kinds of things." For the division and management of shops, the three of you will each choose one, and serve as Deputy to Secretary Jiang."

Wang Guizhi felt that Jiang Shirong could be used. At least he came here first, and he was most familiar with the manual layout of Guangzhou Port. "Jiang Shirong, you should be a good supervisor, and work hard to check it out for them."

"Yes, ma'am!" Jiang Shirong was very excited. He didn't expect his wife to trust him so much. Before he saw his wife, he felt guilty and regretted losing his hair.But when Madam recovered from her illness, she cared about them and took the time to see them. She still remembered that Madam was still talking softly to them even though she had a sick appearance (deliberate makeup).

"...Seaweed and kelp are commonly seen. Don't take it too lightly. The most important thing is to control the temperature... Right now there is a sports meeting, because it is the official start, and it is the first time we are here to organize it. Be careful in everything, once the initial framework is up, lead the people around for a while to see how to move in the most convenient and comfortable way... It must be well coordinated with the market and shops, and kelp and seaweed must be reserved The drying and roasting area of ​​​​…”

The same is true for Liu Xizhong, Xu Yunxiang, and Xu Yuan. Unfortunately, they failed to listen to Madam's teachings. After half an hour, the sisters around Madam came to remind her that the old man needs to take medicine. When I looked at the big clock, I realized that it was already past noon.

After leaving the door, Jiang Shirong said to Liu Xuxu and the three of them, "You guys should discuss the selection on the way. When I get to the house, I will divide the work for you. Next, I have to deal with the government. You have to take care of some work yourself. Get up and ask me if you don’t understand.”

"Yes, Director Jiang." The three of them fought for it with great difficulty. Who would hold back themselves when they behaved like this.

Liu Xizhong chose to be in charge of gatherings and activities, Xu Yunxiang chose seafood self-cultivation and breeding, and Xu Yuan had no objection to managing small shops.

"This is the planning map. The work log has to be written every day, and every penny spent has to be clearly recorded in the account. You don't have any assistants for the time being. When the land is leveled first, our people will arrive. When the time comes, you Pick first, if it is not enough, when the time comes to sum up the number of people, I will ask Madam how to add or subtract.” Jiang Shirong said solemnly, although everyone’s positions are often increased following Madam’s movements, they are all one carrot and one There is absolutely no shortage of people who are willing to do it, "You know the rules of the family, no matter the Jia family's Wang family's, the first thing is to be able to keep your mouth shut, do practical things, think about stealing, cheating, showing off and betraying... ..." He narrowed his eyes, "If you make these mistakes, I won't care about them. You often introspect, remember that there are still those inspectors who are not just doing nothing, they are all retired and want to be honored. An old man who has been working for a few years, always thinks about finding a good place for his children. Even if you don’t think about yourself, think about your relatives and family members!”

All three of them shuddered. Madam's subordinates are those who are able to work harder, more work pays more, and there are many benefits brought by multiple evaluations. The closer you are to Madam, the benefits are naturally needless to say, okay Easy to have a chance, how could they!Coupled with the fact that everyone was fighting fiercely, the penalty of sitting down was even more terrifying.It's better to make mistakes in the business field, and you still have a chance to earn back, especially if you don't abide by the rules at home, you don't even have a chance.

In this way, the [-] mu of seaside wasteland, which was originally desolate, began to be worked in full swing every day.

People from Chenjia Village were also among them, and they were responsible for plowing the part of the land with the red flag.

The cows, horses and mules they didn't have had to rely on manual work. Seeing that others were doing faster and better than them, the rest of Chenjia Village were a little anxious.

"Ms. Chen, the next job this time will be paid according to the size. We can't do them like this!"

Standing on the sand, Chen Ying wiped off her sweat and nodded, "That's right, that's the Mai Ke from Guanglong. They were originally designed to help people harvest wheat, and they are also stronger. They do this job better than us. That's fine too."

"Then what should we do! If we can't compare with others, then madam, madam won't use us..."

People in Chenjiacun are constantly working with their hands, but they are even more anxious in their hearts. After entering the wife's door, who wants to go out?

She has an idea, I'm afraid they won't agree to it, but Chen Ying looked at everyone looking at her eagerly, ignoring Mrs. Chen's hints, and said loudly, "Of course we can do what others can do. They have Cows, horses, and mules, we can too! As long as everyone agrees, each of us will get some money from home, and I will go to Mr. Xu to intercede to see if we can send our wages first, and maybe we can get enough to buy cattle and horses. The money for the car, as long as we have these, we can work faster and earn more money."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law really said it, Mrs. Chen was anxious. It was not easy for her to be in charge, but it was easy to send money to the big guy. If you want money, you can get it. Isn’t this offending people? This livestock is also going to get sick, and it is expensive, so what will happen if you lose money at that time!

"here we go again?"

"What's coming again?"

"It's Jiang Shirong, the steward who is proficient in logistics."

"What's he doing here again? Last time I wanted to set up a few signs, what's the name, Baiwang Market, Ziqi Bring, Guizhi Company, just these three names, what is the registration, the exclusive right, That's the number for one." Li Zongyao made a one-word comparison.

Fu Zhengyi was restless. When his father whipped him, he accidentally pulled his tailbone. He was uncomfortable, "100 taels?"

Li Zongyao immediately spat at him, "100 taels? Bah, you can say it, 1 taels! It's a full 1 taels. I went to Sun Jiaqi to see it. The bills of the Dayuan bank are brand new!"

"Hiss!" Fu Zhengyi really didn't expect it, "You say it's true? It's only 1 taels for the name of these four characters? That's not how money is spent."

"Who said it wasn't." What Li Zongyao didn't say in his heart was that he didn't believe Mr. Jia would be like this at first, but he didn't expect him to be like this. What kind of name can be worth this price, unless it is written by the current emperor, that word is worth a thousand dollars...

"If you want to hang up a signboard, you can hang it up yourself, and you haven't committed any taboos. Who would dare to stop you from hanging it up? It's a waste of money..." Fu Zhengyi was hit again by the amount, 3 taels.Sure enough, it's the governor, who can get tens of thousands of taels of silver in just a few words.

Seeing Jiang Shirong now, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help but bowed his hands and greeted him. He was polite in return, but walked in a hurry. Obviously something happened, and they couldn't stop him from asking.

"I don't know what he's here for this time?"

Li Zongyao guessed, "I'm afraid they are here to give money again."

Yuan Kang waved his hand to let Sun Jiaqi go down, but Jia Zheng said, "Oh, you don't have to do this, my lord. I want to avoid it because of my relatives, but this matter must be signed by a senior official."

Seeing his persistence, Yuan Kang had no choice but to sign his name on Sun Jiaqi's report, "Then follow the rules we agreed at the meeting."

Sun Jiaqi took it with both hands, and slowly backed out of the door before he dared to heave a sigh of relief. He looked at the pages of materials displayed on it, and the total tariff displayed at the end was 13 taels and 81 cents.He finally understood why all the officials in Shanxi respected Mrs. Jia, and the emperor was so partial to take care of him, so he took advantage of his ability to turn corruption into gold. , There is nothing to say.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Yuan Kang seemed to be joking and said, "Master Jia really wants to spend all of Xiao Wang's mother-in-law's money?"

In the past few days, thousands of silver, big and small, in various names, have been sent up one after another, and he was asked to sign for the receipt. The person who saw the money was a little flustered. When writing secret letters to his father, he told him the truth, saying that he no longer knew how to express Jia Zheng's loyalty to his father, and he could make decisions according to his father's disposal.

Jia Zheng immediately replied, "This is really a must for us to carry out overseas trade, otherwise how can we develop people's livelihood?"

If you want to develop the local economy and improve the living conditions of the people, you must first solve the two problems of food and clothing. Speaking of which, the climate in Guangdong and Guangxi is suitable. In some places, not only two kinds of food can be used a year, but also three kinds a year. It can be said that as long as the sky is beautiful, The rice seeds are good, and it is absolutely no problem to at least fill your stomach.There are also all kinds of fruits, which are delicious and sweet, and the products are abundant, but the mountain roads are rugged and the transportation is inconvenient.If you want to make a complete change, it is faster and more effective to lure it with profit and change it with business.Besides, Madam is going to do business, how can he stop her.

"But..." Yuan Kang wanted to say more, but Jia Zheng said, "Why can't even my wife set an example, so why should the government collect other people's tariffs in the future?"

Anyway, the money can definitely be earned back, and whoever starts first will have more capital and can make more money, this is what Madam said.

Besides, with him around, the money is just changing hands. Anyway, with him around for a day, he can always protect her and her property.

Seeing that people came to Jia Zheng to issue and ask some questions about these tariffs, commercial taxes, self-employed certificates, etc., Yuan Kang simply returned to the government early.

Yuan Chun was looking at the embroiderer in the palace who embroidered things according to the way she drew, thinking that this Beijing embroidery also has its unique features, and wanted to embroider a handkerchief for Yuan Kang when he was eager for skills, when Nan Lu came forward and said in a low voice , "The prince is back."

so early today?

After thinking about it, it was different from usual, "Prepare some tea and fruit snacks." Yuan Chun took the embroidery shed and came to Yuan Kang, "Master came back early today, could it be that it's too hot here, and you feel uncomfortable?"

Seeing her coming, Yuan Kang wanted to ask directly, "Tell me, why does father-in-law always use mother-in-law as a raft?"

"What?" Yuan Chun was puzzled, "Where does this start?"

"Tsk, that's right, what kind of new policy reforms and tax items are he doing now, and he wants to increase everyone's taxes, and what about the registration fee for trademark names?... You know, Jiang Shirong under your mother's hands today gave away almost 20 yuan Two silver coins are here!"

When Yuan Chun heard about it, he smiled lightly, "Oh, 20 taels."

"Yeah...why don't you feel surprised at all?" Yuan Kang sat next to her and asked again.

"Because it prints such a large sum, we major shareholders should know." Yuan Chun smiled.
