Chapter 105 First arrival in Hanzhou

The road to Hanzhou was long, and it was for the sake of running errands, so Hua Ling told the coachman to hurry as usual and not to catch the car slowly, so as not to delay the process.

The people were still on the road, and someone from Fenglin Town quickly chased after them and sent a letter to the family. When Hua Ling Zhanxin saw it, she was even more relieved, raised her eyes and smiled at Shen Laibao and said, "My father asked my subordinates to send it, saying that they have arrived in Fenglin Town, and the eldest brother has recovered well and has the strength to read." ”

Shen Laibao also breathed a sigh of relief, before the letter was delivered, it could be seen that she was still a little worried. After reading this letter, I felt that she was relieved and less worried, "When I go back, your eldest brother will probably be home." ”

"Hmm." Hua Ling looked at Xin Tsai carefully again, and then gave it to him, "Brother Noble, is Hanzhou fun?" ”

"I haven't been there either, but I asked my dad before I went, and he said that there are not many places to have fun, but there is a lot of food." Shen Laibao said, "It's suitable for you." ”

But any girl doesn't like to hear this, Hua Ling looked at him, "When you get there, you go to the shopkeepers, and I'll go to the shop." ”

Shen Laibao said curiously, "What kind of shop to visit?" ”

Hua Ling pursed the corners of her lips, "There is a shop that sells washboards." ”

"......" Shen Laibao shook her hand and said solemnly, "That is not suitable for you at all." ”

The appearance is too serious, and those who don't know really think he's talking about something big. Hua Ling raised her eyes and smiled, "Brother Noble is the most well-behaved." ”

Shen Laibao sighed secretly, the lines were completely reversed, when did he become a wife slave.

"Little Flower."

"What?"

Shen Laibao almost bit his ear, "When Hanzhou's affairs are over, I will accompany you to eat all the delicious food." ”

"Don't you think I'm going to get fat?" Hua Ling thought for a while and said, "Brother Noble, if you become a pot-bellied person, I will really think you are ugly, and then I don't like to look at you as much as I do now." ”

Shen Laibao smiled dumbly and scratched the tip of her nose, "How can you be so sincere, I will be as strong as before." ”

Hua Ling smiled with satisfaction, touched her nose again, and was tired of sitting down, so she lay on his lap and put the pillow on it. At the end, he pinched his belly, and there was no soft flesh, and it was very firm. Thinking of his sturdy physique, Hua Ling's mind was fluttering, satisfied and proud. It seems that when she returns to Mingzhou, she has to be like him, running circles in the yard every day, and not becoming fat.

Shen Laibao stroked her cheeks, saw her close her eyes, as if she was asleep, and did not speak again. After looking down for a long time, I saw that my neck was sore, so I raised my head and turned my neck, and also leaned against the car wall to rest.

Hanzhou is surrounded by rivers on three sides, waterways prevail, and the shipping industry is very prosperous. What the Shen family did in Hanzhou was a ship merchant business, and there were restaurants and inns on three rivers, as well as various iron tools used to repair ships.

Later, Xu is business was doing too well, but the wages of the shopkeepers did not rise, and they were really tired, so they asked the manager An for instructions and wanted to get more wages.

Manager An mentioned it to Master Shen at the end of the year, and Master Shen had read the account book, and the money was indeed a lot of money, so he raised everyone's wages. Who would have thought that the manager of Na'an had already made up his mind not to give the money to the people below, so he swallowed it all privately, and sent them the same salary as usual.

After a long time, the shopkeepers were dissatisfied, and raised objections several times, but they were coldly rejected by Mr. An.

Later, the men fell ill from exhaustion one after another, and the seven innkeepers and six blacksmiths plus more than 140 men could no longer bear it anymore and boycotted the market in protest.

Mr. An panicked and promised to compensate with money, but the more than 100 people didn't listen at all. This trouble, Master Shen, who was thousands of miles away, knew that he and the shopkeepers of Hanzhou had been cheated by Mr. An. He immediately sent the veteran Ye Changchang over, and as soon as Ye Changchang arrived in Hanzhou, he received a letter from his mother who was seriously ill, and he was displeased.

As a result, things got out of control in an instant, and the shopkeepers who wanted to get the wages they deserved and go back stopped doing it.

In the past three months, the inn iron shop was full of dust, and when he wiped the tabletop, Shen Laibao and Hua Ling were covered with dust.

Shen Laibao listened carefully to Ye Baishun's words and asked, "Then where is your father now?" ”

Ye Changchang was Ye Baishun's father, and he replied, "Young Master Shen, my father is a well-known filial son, and it was really impulsive to make such an arbitrary decision, and he regretted it afterwards, and he still has no shame to go back to see Uncle Shen. Caught in a dilemma, frustrated, and now lying in bed, unable to pick you up in person. ”

Ye Changchang is his father's right-hand man, and the father and son often come to the Shen family, and Shen Laibao is not unfamiliar with him. However, Ye Changchang is ten years older than him, so he has not been a companion since he was a child, he is alienated from each other, and he also talks like a master and servant.

"Let your father have a good rest, and he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of Hanzhou for the time being." Shen Laibao looked up at the restaurant, but it was a pity that such a good restaurant had been abandoned for three months. It's not difficult to re-recruit people, but it's not easy to train people well.

Although this matter was deceived by Mr. An, his father felt that he was also at fault, so he did not want to completely leave the shopkeeper alone, but wanted to recruit him back.

But before he went out, Father Shen also said that if they make too much trouble, they have to make a lot of compensation, and they have to make inches, then forget it.

After all, he is a businessman, and he can't do such a loss-making business.

Shen Laibao knew that his father was not joking, but he had already thought on the road that he couldn't fire the more than 100 people unless he had to.

It's a misunderstanding, just solve it.

Ye Bai complied, and then took them to the inn where they were staying now, which was also not far away, but compared to the three restaurants of the Shen family, there was a lack of prosperity.

Master Shen's vision of choosing a location is to be the most prosperous and lively place, and it doesn't matter how much money you invest in the early stage.

On the contrary, Shen Laibao likes to invest in some unpopular but potential locations, which are risky, but the initial investment is very small, once it is effective, it can quickly recover the cost, and the future results will be even greater.

Both father and son think long-term, but with different priorities.

Shen Laibao followed Ye Baishun to this inn, and saw that there were several houses next to it, and no one lived there, so he asked, "Is there no one living here?" ”

Ye Baishun is also in a merchant family, and when he goes to a place, he will always inquire about the surrounding environment clearly, and he is very careful. As soon as he asked, he replied, "Yes, I moved away a few years ago." Although it is not the most lively street here, there is an inn next to it, and it was noisy for twelve hours, and I couldn't stand it, so I moved. ”

"Then why don't you sell this house?"

"I want to sell it, but someone has to buy it." Ye Baishun said, "Next to the inn, it's not appropriate to open any store. Food, the inn has. Stay, the inn has. Even if you want to wash away the stench accumulated by wandering at sea for a month, the inn has it. The boats are all men of five big and three thick, and they are passers-by, and an inn can meet all their needs. If you really want to open any shop, you have to have an inn. ”

The two of them have gone all the way, and there are not many of them, even inns, restaurants, restaurants, and even green buildings, and there are several. Most of the people who come and go borrow the land to stop, and after loading the goods, they will leave immediately, and they only stay for a few days, and it seems that there is indeed no store to open.

Hua Ling saw that he seemed to have an idea, and every time he thought about something, his brows always had to be slightly twisted, and he couldn't erase it if he didn't want to be thorough.

Ye Changchang was still lying in the inn, and Shen Laibao, as a junior, had to meet him. Although he was at fault in this matter, he was also an old minister of the Shen family, and he had to visit on behalf of his father.

The room he lived in was on the second floor, facing north and south, with the open windows blowing in the wind. There is a Xinyi tree planted outside, and the spring breeze blows in, blowing the fragrance all over the house.

"But Young Master Shen is here?"

Shen Laibao replied, "It's me, Uncle Ye." ”

Ye Changchang is more than half a hundred years old, but he travels south and north on weekdays, his body is not bloated, nor thin, and he is a baby face, so he looks younger. Now sitting on the bed, only covered with a thin quilt, his complexion is not too good, but it is not as bad as Shen Laibao imagined.

Shen Laibao saw that he was going down to the ground to pick him up, so he immediately supported him, said "Uncle Ye doesn't need to be polite", and lifted him back with a half-leaned body.

Ye Changchang didn't pretend to say goodbye, but saw Hua Ling and said, "Presumably this is the young lady." When you got married, the old man was still in Hanzhou, and I didn't drink your wedding wine, so I hope you will forgive me. ”

Hua Ling smiled lightly, "Uncle Ye went to Hanzhou on behalf of his father, where dare to blame you, but we have to thank you." ”

Ye Changchang smiled and said to his son, "What are you still doing, go and let Xiao Er serve the food." ”

Shen Laibao said, "It's still early, let's have a cup of tea, my nephew wants to know the shopkeeper's ......."

"Hey, there's no hurry." Ye Changchang raised his hand and motioned him not to say, "Your Uncle Ye's head is still hurting, you are also tired, eat something first, rest for two days, and then talk about it." ”

Shen Laibao paused slightly, and said hello, "Then let's go and put our luggage first, and come back later." ”

"Okay."

Shen Laibao came out with the flower bell and went to the room on the third floor. The room was spacious and well-furnished, more than twice as good as the room Ye Changchang lived in.

Hanabell closed the door, turned around and said, "We seem to be here to have fun." ”

The tone was teasing, Shen Laibao knew that she understood, and said with a smile, "Do you know why Uncle Ye did this?" ”

Hua Ling thought for a moment and shook her head.

"He treats our Shen family loyally, but he is loyal to the point of paranoia. He didn't believe that I could take over the family business now, and he thought that the family business would be ruined in the hands of a young man. ”

Hua Ling suddenly, "So Uncle Ye is not a bad person, he just doesn't trust you, so you just came, and you plan to empty your power?" ”

Shen Laibao was relieved, "It's still my little flower that is the smartest." ”

Hanaling asked, "So what are you going to do now?" The eldest young master of the Shen family? ”

Shen Laibao replied, "Back to the young lady of the Shen family, the eldest young master of the Shen family plans to sleep for a while and then go to eat." ”

He is so relaxed, Hua Ling really has no reason to worry too much, so it seems that she is not calm.

However, the Hanzhou matter does not seem to be as easy to solve as imagined. 166 Reading Network
