It wasn't until more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Yuxin returned home, and Jiang Yi, Bai Tassel and other wives had already prepared a sumptuous meal, just waiting for Yang Yuxin to come back for reunion.

Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, Yang Yuxin was also very happy to see Jiang Yi and Bai Tassel, and the family finally got together. After dinner, Yang Yuxin decided to rest with Jiang Yi in the master bedroom that night.

Although among all the wives, Yang Yuxin's favorite is naturally the white tassel, but he also knows that Jiang Yi is the hostess of the family, although Jiang Yi does not interfere with his own finding a little wife, but he can't know what is wrong, it is completely necessary to maintain Jiang Yi's authority at home in front of other little wives, only in this way can the harmony of the family be ensured, and Yang Yuxin also has some things to discuss with Jiang Yi.

Now Yang Yuxin has a big mansion in Shanghai, covering an area of nearly 400 square meters, there are 10 people waiting for him, each little wife has her own independent room, and he and Jiang Yi's room is a large suite, about 50 square meters of area. There are living rooms, bedrooms, study rooms, and bathrooms, all of which are made of rosewood furniture, and the furnishings are also very exquisite.

When the two returned to the room, Jiang Yi was lying on a chaise longue, while Yang Yuxin took out a bottle of wine imported from France from the wine cabinet and opened it, which was a special high-end consumer product for the traverser, and took out two tall glasses, and while pouring the wine, he told Jiang Yi about Chang Qi.

After finishing speaking, he handed a glass of wine to Jiang Yi and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Jiang Yi took the wine glass and said lazily: "Ask me what to do? I'm not a government official now, and I can't care about these things." ”

Yang Yuxin said: "Isn't it the two of us now? Can't we just chat casually? In the past few days, just for this bit of, there has been a lot of quarrel in the new district government, and I am also the first two big, so I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Jiang Yi took a sip of red wine and said, "Isn't there a system? Just follow the system, I don't understand what there is to quarrel about?"

Yang Yuxin sat down on a Taishi chair on the side of the chaise longue, and said: "You can't say that, the system is dead, people are alive, Chang Qi's father is a general in Hangzhou, although we are not afraid of him, but it is not good to offend him in the past, after all, this is not Shandong, not in our territory, and we are still mainly doing business in Shanghai, don't we just want to make money in harmony?" And his father asked a few businessmen to say favors, these people have big business dealings with us, we can't help but give them some face, and also offer 500,000 silver, and Chang Qi has been punished for 50 times, and he has been locked up for more than 10 days, so many people think that it is better to buy him a favor. ”

Jiang Yi said: "What kind of official is General Hangzhou, how much power does he have, and how is it compared to the governor and governor?"

Yang Yuxin said: "This is the official position set up by the Qing court when it entered the customs, when the Qing court was stationed in the provinces with the Eight Banners, called the garrison general, and there were 14 garrison generals in the country, which can be regarded as the highest commander of the Eight Banners Army. Moreover, the garrison general and the governor are stationed in the same province, if they report to the imperial court, they must be led by the garrison general, but now because the Eight Banners Army has long been useless, and the Han scholars have risen, the actual power and status of the garrison generals have declined significantly, but after all, they are banner people, and there is still some influence. ”

Jiang Yi held the wine glass, shook the red wine in the glass, and sneered: "To put it bluntly, isn't it that you have already passed the anger? What else is there to be afraid of, does the businessman say that he has to give face to favor? Then this face is too worthless, the businessman who does business with us in everything, isn't that profitable, but will fall out with us for a Hangzhou general who is too angry, I think eighty percent of it is the 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Yang Yuxin said: "500,000 taels of silver is not a few." ”

Jiang Yi was noncommittal, and said, "What about you? What do you think? Could it be that you also like the 500,000 taels of silver?"

Yang Yuxin hurriedly said: "What can it be? 500,000 taels of silver is nothing, if the business of the commercial center is good, the daily flow is not this number, I can care about 500,000 taels of silver, but I haven't thought about it yet, so I discussed it with you." ”

Jiang Yi took a big sip of wine, sat up on the chaise longue, and said, "Come with me like this, it's the truth that I can't look down on the 500,000 taels of silver, but if you want to say that you haven't thought about it, I'm afraid it's not your heart." ”

Yang Yuxin laughed twice and said, " Or you are smart, I can't hide anything from you, I also told the truth, I really want to sell Chang En a face, of course not for the 500,000 silver, to be honest since the opening of the commercial center, we have punished Xiang Changqi like this powerful brother and sister almost more than 10, I think this is not a good thing for the development of Shanghai New Area, of course, a powerful disciple like Chang Qi is not bad money, and is also willing to spend money, every time I come to Shanghai New Area to play, not to mention it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and their circle is such a second ancestor, is a group of very small people, but the consumption power of the group, punishment Chang QiIn the future, who will dare to come to Shanghai New Area to play? This is clearly to push the God of Wealth out of the door, and there is such a business. ”

Jiang Yi said: "Then these second ancestors make trouble in the Shanghai New District, don't they care? Today they want someone to drink with them, and tomorrow they will ask someone to sleep with them, isn't it against the sky if they continue to indulge?"

Yang Yuxin said: "I didn't say that I let them make trouble in the Shanghai New District, but we can't be too rigid, to be honest, our rules are too strict, whip at every turn, a pass is less than two months, in fact, it can be replaced by a fine, which can not only achieve the effect of punishment, but also save enough face for these second ancestors, and increase our income, isn't it much better than blindly punishing and harsh laws?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "There is some truth in your idea! Then what are you going to do? Do you propose it to the Qingdao Executive Yuan?"

Yang Yuxin nodded and said, "Yes, I have this idea, so I want to hear your opinion, do you think it is feasible?"

Jiang Yi drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said: "I only said that your idea is reasonable, but there are many things that make sense, and not everything can be done, and you don't want to think about it, who made these rules, they were all formulated by the Executive Yuan, and they were passed by the Senate, do you think the rules are too strict, isn't that a slap in the face of the Executive Yuan?"

Yang Yuxin was a little unhappy, and said: "How can this be a slap in the face of the Executive Yuan? The rules formulated by the Executive Yuan cannot be said to be perfect, I always have the power to propose amendments, and besides, I am not doing this for the good of the government?"

Jiang Yi sneered and said, "Of course you have the power to make suggestions, but you also have to see if your suggestions are reliable, do you think those Second Ancestors will care about a few fines?" If you can settle things with money, you can't call it a problem, and once this mouth is opened, there will be endless troubles, so everyone thinks that no matter how big a trouble is made in the Shanghai New Area, you can use money to settle it, and it is not a bad trouble. Besides, it is nothing to offend the circle of the second ancestor, because the goods, services, and entertainment we can provide are all unique, and we can't find them anywhere else, so what are we afraid of him? ”

After Yang Yuxin heard this, he also thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "You're still right, I didn't expect this layer." ”

Jiang Yi snorted, and forced: "It's not that you didn't think of this, but you are a little carried away, you are really doing a good job in Shanghai, I have heard a lot of people praise you in Qingdao, and many people in the Executive Yuan are optimistic about you, so they don't care much about your private life." But don't confuse your private life with official affairs, private life can be casual does not mean that you can mess around in official affairs, even the Executive Yuan can not be ignored, although the Shanghai New Area is not said to be far away from the emperor, but relative to Qingdao, it is also an enclave, so Qingdao will definitely guard against it, so to be the leader of the Shanghai New Area, not only to do things well, but also to pay attention to the absolute obedience to the orders of the Executive Yuan, even if this order is wrong, but also to resolutely adhere to it, so that the Executive Yuan can rest assured, but you are good, you dare to question the system of the Executive Yuan, and put forward such an unreliable suggestion, what do you want to doDo you want to make friends with the magnates of the Qing court?"

Yang Yuxin said: "The Executive Yuan has not yet done this, my achievements in Shanghai in the past two years are obvious to the same, I have also made great contributions to the government, and the taxes paid last year are also among the best, this still makes the Executive Yuan feel at ease?"

Jiang Yi said: "Don't think that you have made a little achievement in Shanghai, the Executive Yuan will not be able to do without you, now in our government, no one is the same, these achievements you have made in Shanghai are mainly supported by our entire East China government, otherwise you can't play the job in Shanghai at all, although you can't say that it can be said that you can change someone, but the people who can replace you, there are not 100 and 80 people." Besides, there are indeed many people in the Executive Yuan who are optimistic about you, but among the public traversers, the evaluation of you is not very good, you have already had 4 little wives, what do you think about the unmarried traversers? Don't look at your current scenery, once you fall, it will definitely be pushed by everyone, but now you can't hold any of your handles, but you are good, and take the initiative to hand over the knife. ”

Yang Yuxin was also sweating profusely by Jiang Yi, his face was sallow, and he said: "You reminded right, you reminded right, I was too careless, I was really careless, fortunately I discussed it with you, otherwise I am afraid it will really make a big mistake, I will decide at the meeting tomorrow, insist on the punishment unchanged, and end this controversy." ”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "It's about the same, after the board is finalized, I will report to the Qingdao Executive Yuan immediately, but don't say anything superfluous, just treat it as a routine document." ”
