"Pleasant, do you think these things still need to be used?"

Shopkeeper Xie stood under the hall with a bow, and through a screen, respectfully asked the woman on the other side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Jialuo sat on the Luohan bed, looking through a list in his hand.

This is a special 'gift' from the Xie firm to congratulate the couple on their housewarming.

Yes, before the beginning of winter, Gu Jialuo finally followed in Qi Jinzhi's footsteps and moved his family to Wumeng.

The Houya of Wumeng Mansion originally lived in the Liang prefect's family, and the Liang prefect was killed in Xin'an County, and the imperial court did not send an official to replace him for a while.

Subsequently, Qi Jinzhi took the initiative to come to Wumeng, and did not disturb the Liang family of Houya, but ordered someone to find a house in Fuhou Street to settle down temporarily.

Later, the Ministry of Officials finally sent a clear official document, appointing Qi Jinzhi as the new prefect of Wumeng, and the situation in the southwest was not as chaotic as it was at the beginning, at least the traffic was relatively smooth.

Liang Zhifu's family prepared to help Ling return to his hometown.

Qi Jinzhi is a person with clear grievances, although he personally ordered Liang to be beheaded, he still took great care of the family members of the Liang Governor's Mansion.

As soon as the letter of appointment of the ministry arrived, the Liang family planned to move out and vacate the government for Qi Jinzhi.

Qi Jinzhi still resigned, and bluntly said that his family was still in Wusa, and he didn't need the back office for a while, so he asked the Liang family to live for the time being.

When Gu Jialuo comes, it will not be too late for them to move.

The lady of the Liang prefect's mansion is a reasonable person, of course, it can also be called a knowledge of current affairs, and repeatedly declined Qi Jinzhi's kindness, and moved out of the back office with the family.

Seeing this, Qi Jinzhi was not easy to persuade deeply, so he ordered someone to send some money to settle down.

The body of the Liang prefect was transported back to Wumeng, and Qi Jinzhi personally went to pay tribute, and the whole thing was done so beautifully, anyone who saw it had to praise 'kindness'.

In the end, the Liang family helped Ling return to his hometown, and Qi Jinzhi not only sent a rich Cheng Yi, but also specially dispatched 20 people from the township to escort them out of the southwest all the way.

The impression of Wumeng up and down Qi Jinzhi is getting better and better, this year, there are fewer charcoal in the snow and more stones falling into the well.

Qi Jinzhi did this, although there was an element of 'show', but it was more out of his heart.

After all, now that Qi Jinzhi's prestige in Wumeng has reached its peak, no one in the entire city dares to criticize, so he really doesn't need to rely on these superficial articles to buy people's hearts.

What are you kidding, Lord Qi is so powerful, even the famous Xiao Liang King in the southwest has been cleaned up, and half of the eight wealthy clans of Wumeng have been directly overturned, and the remaining half have been frightened, and they have all become obedient and well-behaved babies.

Before, there were people secretly rubbing behind their backs and calling Qi Jinzhi 'Qi beheading', but now those people don't dare to call it that in their hearts, lest they accidentally say something and then bring death to themselves and their families.

Mother, the earth of Wumeng Mansion shook that day, and several tiles on the house fell down...... This battle, not to mention standing on the tower of the city gate, can be clearly felt even if you are hiding at home from afar.

Not to mention the patches of blood and disgusting smell outside the city, which frightened the people in the city for several days.

However, all of this is the handiwork of Qi Jinzhi, which makes everyone not be in awe of him.

Now Qi Jinzhi's name can 'stop children crying', which shows its power!

Therefore, no matter what Qi Jinzhi does, no one dares to criticize, let alone say that others are doing good deeds.

Sending off the Liang family beautifully, Qi Jinzhi didn't even breathe, and began to prepare to welcome his wife.

Different from the 'one poor and two white' who went to Wusa at the beginning, Qi Jinzhi was fully prepared in Wumeng this time, from the houses, furniture, utensils to daily necessities of the back office, all of which were in charge of a special person.

And this person is not a descendant of the Qi family, but an old friend of the young couple of the Qi family, the Xie firm.

It is said that the southwest shopkeeper of Xie's firm selected a candidate to follow Qi Jinzhi to Wusa to open up a new market, backed by the big tree of the county master, and Xie's business in Wusa went very smoothly.

After only half a year's effort, he quietly opened two shops in Wusa, and grabbed a big cake in the hands of the six major families such as Ma, Luo, and Qu, and really made a lot of money.

Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo switched to Wumeng, and Xie's firm actively responded by directly selecting an old qualified steward from Yizhou to Wumeng to open up the Wumeng market.

This steward is a servant of the Xie family, and was given the surname Xie by his master, and because he ranked ninth in the family, he was honored by the merchants as 'Xie Jiuye'.

It is said that Xie Jiuye is in Yizhou, although he is not the big shopkeeper who supports the façade, but he is also an indispensable old steward of the business, and he has some prestige in the business world.

But at this moment, he stood respectfully in front of Gu Jialuo, like a servant of the Qi family, and gave a detailed account of his errand.

"Well, it's good, thank you shopkeeper for bothering!"

After listening to the 'Ruren' for a few months, he was suddenly called 'Yiren', and Gu Jialuo was a little uncomfortable.

That's right, after Qi Jinzhi's official appointment letter was issued, Gu Jialuo's edict also came down.

The wife is noble by her husband, Qi Jinzhi is the prefect of the five grades, and Gu Jialuo followed him to be named the five products pleasant by the imperial court.

Originally, many people in the court had some complaints about Qi Jinzhi sitting in the prefect's seat at such a young age.

Yes, Qi Jinzhi is indeed capable, and Wumeng is indeed barbaric, but it is still lacking to let a hairy boy who is less than twenty years old be a five-grade master, which is not in line with the rules of Daqi officialdom at all.

In particular, Qi Jinzhi is not from a 'professional class', but an official N generation who has been transferred from martial arts to literature, Rao is that he does have real talent and learning, and he can't leave behind the hat of the relationship and the ancestral shade.

The hatred of the rich has existed since ancient times, and Qi Jinzhi, a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown, is an official of the fifth grade, what do you think about the officials who have a big beard and have fought hard all the way from the imperial examination?

Not to mention, Qi Jinzhi has been an official for less than a year, and he has been criticized constantly during his political career, but he was promoted in the blink of an eye?

Hey, you think this is a teahouse.

Officialdom has its own rules of officialdom, and promotion also has a set of rules for promotion, and Qi Jinzhi is obviously not in line with the rules.

As a result, the imperial history began to secretly collect Qi Jinzhi's black materials, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start impeachment.

And at this time, Umeng's battle report and Ma Hanze's song arrived in the capital.

Qi Jinzhi, a civil official, with a rabble of less than 500, completely defeated Liang Wei, who had been plagued by the southwest for decades?!

As soon as the news spread, the princes of the DPRK and China had different thoughts.

The Qi family, the Gu family and other nobles, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, jumped to help Qi Jinzhi speak, and only praised him as a good loyal minister in the new era who is not afraid of danger, takes the initiative to ask for help, and resists strong enemies outside the city.

Anyway, in the mouths of those nobles, Qi Jinzhi is a weak man who can obviously rely on his mouth and pen to eat, but at a critical moment, he has to pick up a big blade to kill the enemy.

It is definitely a good county of Daqi.

Such a loyal minister, such a loyal young man, shouldn't he be promoted and reused?

What, you said that Qi Jinzhi is a civil servant, and he shouldn't rob the generals of their work?

Phew!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the spirited grandfather Gu Laoguo, picked up the wat board in his hand, and whipped the official who said this.

While smoking, he scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit, the Tartars are here, there are no defenders in the city, and the parents are not officials, do you want to watch the Tartars break the city?" What do you mean by that? Do you have to let Liang reverse entrench in Wumeng? ”

The old man almost pointed at the official's nose and called him a 'traitor'.

The saint on the throne only twitched the corners of his eyes, but in fact, he was still a little glad in his heart, this was not a woman.

If she was replaced by a woman, she would not bluff like Old Man Gu at all, but would directly carry a whip and whip people on the main hall.

If she doesn't smoke the person who says sour things all over her face, she is not Xiao Wei.

And other dissenting officials saw this scene, and their hearts trembled for a while: Straight mother, how did they forget, although the Qi family was defeated, the in-laws were still there.

Not to mention anything else, the three-foot-tall Gu Chong in front of him is the grandfather of Qi Jinzhi's wife.

Not to mention the Ma family, a little longer, the crown prince sitting at the head of the throne, Qi Jinzhi has to call his cousin.

This backstage is so fucking hard!

Several royal histories who wrote the balmas overnight wiped their sweat and quietly put the balm.

As a result, the DPRK and China have no objection to Qi Jinzhi's promotion.

Soon Gu Jialuo's seal also came down, and she also became the largest official wife in Wumeng's territory, and the people in the rivers and lakes called 'Gu Yiren'.

"It's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied."

Xie Jiu bowed and smiled lightly, although he was extremely respectful, he did not see any humility, but gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Gu Jialuo could see clearly through the screen, and he had to praise in his heart, he was worthy of being the shopkeeper cultivated by the Xie family, and he really had a set of behaviors.

The Xie family is so good at doing things, and Gu Jialuo is also happy to help, "By the way, things are going well in your shop?" ”

The smile lines on Xie Jiu's lips deepened, and he nodded again and again: "It's smooth, it's very smooth." Speaking of which, it is really thanks to Yiren for introducing the small one to Master Zhan. This time I opened a business in Wumeng, and Mr. Zhan helped me a lot. ”

Gu Jialuo smiled slightly and said, "Although the Zhan family is a Yi clan, they are the best at doing things. As long as you treat each other fairly, he will be fair in return. ”

Gu Jialuo didn't say anything 'treat each other sincerely', because of Ah Zhuo's matter, Gu Jialuo was still a little jealous of the Zhan family.

Xie Jiuren is old and refined, and the shopping mall has been rolling for decades, and when he heard this, he understood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, pleasant people can rest assured, the small one will definitely treat the exhibitor as a fair trade as a partner." ”

A good partner, not a friend, Gu Jialuo looked at Xie Jiu with more and more satisfaction.

Suddenly, remembering something, Gu Jialuo asked, "There is something I want to ask Shopkeeper Xie." ”

Xie Jiu was even more respectful, "What's the matter?" Pleasant, just command. ”

Gu Jialuo said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, Wumeng has been in turmoil for many years, the people's livelihood is withering, the people are poor, and many places are even more barren, so my family wants to find something to make a living for the people of Wumeng." ”

Xie Jiu praised Qi Jinzhi as a Qingtian master who loves the people like a son.

Gu Jialuo smiled, but he didn't care much, and continued to follow his train of thought: "Wumengduo is mountainous, the climate is warm, and there is a lot of rain, it may be inconvenient to grow food in a large area, and it is indeed possible to grow some medicinal herbs and spices. ”

Xie Jiu's old eyes flashed, "Pleasant and insightful." With all due respect, Wumeng is barren, but it is not as it should be, but he has not chosen the right path. And if you can pay attention to local conditions like Fuzun and Yiren, maybe Wumeng will not be what it is now. ”

This sycophant is really comfortable to listen to.

Gu Jialuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xie, don't be busy putting a high hat on me first, I don't say this to show off, but to ask you for a favor." ”

Xie Jiu vaguely guessed, but he hadn't decided yet, so he didn't say anything to death, "Yiren, please speak, if the little one can help, he will definitely go all out." ”

Gu Jialuo didn't go around the bush anymore, and said directly: "I want to ask your firm to buy some pepper seeds." ”

"Pepper?"

Xie Jiu's heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to smell the smell of business opportunities.

Pepper is a good thing, in Daqi, it is definitely a luxury existence, and some officials who come to the south to take up their posts will try their best to get some pepper when they leave office.

They don't regard pepper as a 'soil instrument', but as a treasure that can maintain and increase its value.

Xie Jiu didn't know how to plant, but he also knew that although the southwest was inconvenient and barbaric, it was very rich in products.

Many precious medicinal herbs can grow in large areas in the southwest.

Although pepper is a foreign product brought by Fanren, it is also a plant, so it should be able to be planted in the southwest, right?!

Xie Jiu's mind was running rapidly, and he had already thought of the feasibility of planting pepper in large quantities from Gu Jialuo's simple words, and then extended to what kind of profit Xie Shi's firm could make from this matter.

Through the thin screen, Gu Jialuo couldn't see Xie Jiu's facial expression clearly, but he could imagine it.

She was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for Xie Jiu to speak.

After a full quarter of an hour, Xie Jiu seemed to react, and said slowly: "Yiren is the person who understands the most, in our Daqi, pepper is a rare thing, and all the people bring are finished products, and there are no seeds." If you want to buy seeds, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

The merchants of the Western Regions are not stupid, they know that pepper is a treasure, how can they easily hand over the cash cow?

Gu Jialuo didn't answer this question, but said a little abruptly: "There are enough seeds, and craftsmen who know pepper cultivation techniques, if your firm can find it, when this matter is completed, I can allow you two percent of the molecule." ”

Xie Jiu was stunned, and then said in embarrassment: "The price of pepper is better than gold, let alone seeds. In addition, in Daqi, it is easy to find an old farmer who can farm, but if you want to find someone who can grow pepper, it is not easy! ”

Gu Jialuo pondered for a moment and said, "Sancheng." Plus 200 hectares of merchant tuntian. ”

The so-called Shang Tuntian is the tuntian that the merchant is responsible for reclaiming, and the grain produced is specially used to exchange for salt.

The southwest is a frontier land, which conforms to the provisions of the Great Qi Neutralization Law, so if merchants want to exchange for salt, they can open up tuntian near Xin'an County, and then exchange grain for salt.

Originally, it was the Annan Royal Mansion that occupied Xin'an County, but now the palace has been confiscated by the imperial court, and Xin'an County has no leader.

That's why Gu Jialuo said the words that he promised to the Xie family's firm 'two hundred hectares of merchant tuntian'.

Xie Jiu's breathing was rapid for a moment, he took a deep breath, and clasped his hands into fists deeply, "This matter is very important, the small ones don't dare to be self-conscious, they must be enlightened." Please wait a while. ”

Xie Jiu said this in his mouth, but he was already seven or eight points sure in his heart, this matter could be done!

Gu Jialuo also knew it, and she gently spit out a word: "Okay!" (To be continued.) )
