Chapter 443: Restless Acquaintance

Xiaolong heard his wife tell him what Moshu said, but he was not as entangled and uneasy as his wife.

"Whether they have a conspiracy or not, just don't give them a chance to come into the house. Why bother with such a thing? Still scratching your head here?! ”

"But I think it's better to put him under my nose and look at it, and see what they want to do?"

Xiaolong shook his head: "If you do this, then you are very wrong!" If people really want to have some conspiracy against us, they won't let you see it with such bright eyes. Fear, you think this is a conspiracy against you, but it is not. Rather, it is a specious cover to divert your attention, and the real conspiracy is hidden outside this cover, so that you cannot be guarded against.

You have to remember that in the future, if you find any suspicious people, you will immediately eliminate them, and if there is something unfavorable, no matter how small, you must eliminate them immediately, and don't be arrogant and think that you can control everything. Some things, some people may be able to control for a while, but you can't control a lifetime, maybe a small thing, which little person, which is just a sip of tea, can ruin the overall situation you carefully arranged. Therefore, try to avoid what you can, don't provoke, and don't take the initiative to provoke the door. No matter how big the conspiracy is, stay away from it, and it will not be able to pose any threat to you! ”

At the beginning, my sister-in-law asked the Kong family very tactfully not to bring the slaves who accompanied the marriage over, which was really prescient! He had checked the files of many officials who had gone wrong, and most of them were really rooted in their wives or the subordinates brought by their wives. Those who marry have no sense of belonging to the family that only entered halfway. Naturally, they will not abide by their duties for the sake of this half-way master. Coupled with the fact that the descendants of the two families are together, the old and the new are incompatible, and conflicts are inevitable. In the midst of these contradictions, it is very easy to bring down a family.

In fact, even if Moshu really begged Mrs. Kong Liu, Mrs. Kong Liu would not send someone to his house, but Ah Jing and a few of her maids didn't know. Xiaolong didn't remind his wife, she should still let her make up her mind and resist some people's sophistication.

Ah Jing pondered her husband's words carefully and felt that what her husband said was very reasonable, but she was a little overcautious. Even Moshu didn't dare to really rest assured. Wen Zhong never dared to hand over the Moshu belt alone, and it was only when her nurse was too busy that she would call Moshu to go over and take a hand. Fortunately, Moshu was learning to walk because of his own children. can't leave people an inch, but there is no suspicion, otherwise it will make this loyal maid feel cold. Fortunately, I will see people's hearts for a long time, and wait until the children of Moshu are older. Able to let go. When she was able to do more, Jing could also be sure that Moshu didn't have the heart to harm them, and she had already treated Moshu the same as the other three.

The day after the ink book arrived, Ah Jing wrote a letter to her mother through the official channel, asking her mother to talk to the second aunt and transfer the ink book to the second room. lest the eldest lady rashly report the case record of a fugitive slave in Moshu, and the matter will become complicated.

Moshu also came to Miss's side to know that Miss is really busy! It used to be leisurely like a lazy cat, but now it is busy like a spinning top that can't be stopped. Just packed up the kids and carried them out. disappeared Miss again, so he asked Runqin: "Sister Qin! Why is Miss so busy? Don't you all have to help? ”

"Ink book! Remembered. From now on, she will change her name to Madame! Madame has to do a lot of things on her own, and we can't interfere. You just need to take care of your own business, and you don't need to ask anything else. ”

The husband sings and the wife follows, as a married person, Ah Jing naturally has to abide by the way of this husband and wife.

Xiaolong did the four-year compulsory literacy education for poor children, although there was a specially appointed dean to manage it, Ah Jing also had to represent the prefect, and every day he had to check the children's diet, clothing, housing, hygiene, etc., and he had to take turns to check it.

There is also a special care home for orphans, abandoned children, abandoned old people, and lonely elderly, and she must personally visit once a day to express her concern and condolences. Although there are people from her own family who arrange it inside as the eyes of the overseer in the shadows, she, the prefect's wife, still has to go to the bright place to show that the prefect attaches great importance to this hospice, and no one can play any tricks here.

As for the mansion and the courtyard, it is simple, there are almost no people, only Ah Jing's nurse is still a slave, including the ink book that has just arrived, and the others are all free identities. What kind of concubines, concubines, concubines, none of these.

Ah Jing is busy and glad, no matter how hard she works outside, she can not look at anything else, and she can get a compliment first. But if you have concubines, concubines and concubines at home, and you are busy with leg cramps, and you provide them with good food, drink, clothing, and shelter, not only will you not get the slightest thanks, but you will also make tricks behind your back to damage your affairs and reputation. And she's lucky, and she doesn't have any of these troubles.

All the women in this city who have suffered from concubines and concubines have only envy, jealousy and no hatred for the prefect's wife, and no one has passed on any evil words about the prefect's wife's jealousy and immorality. Everyone knows that this is a good life, and if you marry a husband who doesn't accept concubines, if you talk nonsense, I'm afraid that you will be torn apart by those boys of the prefect's family.

And in He Tongzhi's house, Mrs. He usually likes to talk about the simplicity of the prefect's backyard, and the prefect's wife is a woman with a good fate. It's just that she hasn't come to speak to the prefect for several days, and she is very panicked now. I don't know what difficulties her master has encountered, she is very irritable during this time, and it has reached the point where she can't sleep and eat. Today, she couldn't help the anxiety in her heart and asked her master: "Master! What's going on with you all this time? I can't sleep well, and I don't eat much, but what happened to me? ”

He Tongzhi looked up at his wife and shook his head and replied: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the prefect of the king is about to reach his four-year term, and I don't know what kind of person the next prefect will be!" ”

When Mrs. He heard that the prefect Wang was about to take office, she immediately became nervous: "Oops! How can it be so fast? ”

He Tongzhi also picked up irritably: "That's it!" It feels like time flies! ”

Time flies too fast, when the prefect of the king has just taken office. They are still trying to fight against the prefect and want to fight for power. Whoever wanted to be suppressed one by one didn't dare to move, but the prefect at this time did not further suppress them. Completely knock them down, but set out to suppress the bandits, and use the property obtained by the bandits to transform the living conditions of the common people.

They didn't think there would be any benefit for them here, but then they realized that they were also beneficiaries.

The prefect did not sell the confiscated shops for auction, but started government business. In order not to compete with the private business, the prefect of the king classified all the shops and specialized in the wholesale of various products. After these wholesalers are set up. At the beginning, there were many merchants who made trouble in front of the government to protest, and even those in the government felt that the prefect's office was not authentic.

However, the prefect turned a blind eye to the protests of the merchants, and ignored the advice of his colleagues. Insist on it. No one among his colleagues responded, nor did he cooperate with his work, nor did he get angry or annoyed. Zhang Bang recruits exams from students and ordinary people, and selects the best. The selected personnel were retrained. Those who fail the training are eliminated again. In the end, those who were promoted were all the elite of the state capital's businessmen. Even those children who have been in business for generations are beyond the reach of others.

The merchants who were originally strongly opposed to the government merchants thought that once the government shops opened, they would inevitably run on them and they would not survive, but they did not expect that after the government shops opened, it would greatly facilitate the large and small merchants in Lanzhou Mansion.

Originally, they hired bodyguards and hired convoys to go far away to buy goods, and the costs and losses along the way were unpredictable. Sometimes it goes well, and the profit can be doubled, and sometimes it encounters natural and man-made disasters and loses all the money. Since there has been a government-run wholesale shop. There are all kinds of goods, only what you can't think of, and there are no ones that are not available in government stores. What they need to buy. You can go directly to the door to pick up the goods, and you can enter on the same day when you are out of stock, so you don't have to worry about losing customers because of lack of stock. Another advantage is that the profit you can make from buying a batch of goods can be clearly calculated, and you no longer know what will happen to you as before, and lose your property.

The government shops also provide convenience as much as possible when they are purchased. If a merchant wants to wholesale many kinds of goods, and he is very short on time or is not very familiar with the distribution of each store, then the merchant only needs to give the purchase list to any such government wholesale shop, and his own shop will collect all the things that the merchant wants, so that the merchant can buy all the goods in the shortest possible time.

Merchants benefit and the people also benefit, because the price of goods is no longer the final say of those big merchants, so there are no daily necessities that the people cannot afford to use at extremely high prices. However, some luxury goods that are not necessities of ordinary life are to be excluded.

Some people may think that the interests of those big merchants have been harmed, but in fact, they are not. In the past, the prices of these large merchants were basically priced according to what kind of profit they could make, but it was also a big loss for them to purchase goods from afar. This loss is sometimes greater than the profit that the product can bring, but you can't help it. And now they can also get goods in the shops of the government, and because their business is big and the goods are complete, they can develop some small merchants like small merchants to wholesale. Because the government's wholesale shops can only be wholesaled in a certain amount, so there will be many small merchants who are blocked from the threshold, but the big merchants can provide them with goods. It can be said that you can make a difference by changing hands, and there is no risk at all. Therefore, the big merchants are the same, and they do not lose but profit from it.

And they, the people in the government, didn't know until the end of the first year, and it turned out that they also had a share of their interests.

At the end of the year, the prefect of the king gathered everyone together in the account books of these shops, and asked the account office of the household to settle the accounts of those shops in front of everyone. Remove all costs and divide the net profit into ten parts. One is put into the emergency account, one is in the project account, one is in the college education account, one is in the nursing home account, and the rest is the year-end bonus for these people.

And this part is also divided according to the rank, except for the prefect himself, who did not ask for this bonus. The highest winner was him, a fellow intellectual, who received more than 500 taels in the first year, which was several times higher than the amount of money in one year. This is an innocent silver coin, and everyone is surprised and excited when holding it. Even the commander of the government soldiers, who had been stumbling on the prefect's mansion openly and secretly, personally apologized to the prefect after getting the same level bonus with everyone for the first time, and personally admitted that the prefect was a true gentleman.

Last year, he had already received thousands of taels in bonuses, but this year the prefect of the king will take office, if he leaves, how will the next new prefect arrange the profits of this shop, who knows?

This is not only him who is anxious, everyone else is like him, I just hope that the prefect of the king will not go, even if he is re-elected for another term, so that they can control the management of the shop, continue the path of the prefect of the king, and not let the prefect in the future operate indiscriminately or monopolize it is also good.
