Chapter 32: Lucky Boy
After Shui Han arranged everything, he simply left. She still has a bunch of things to attend to. After Lian Jiayue watched Shui Han enter the county lord's mansion, he reacted half-loudly, looked at the six servants who were left, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Now let's move my things over first." ”
Lian Jiayue's things were very simple, after moving and settling down, he thought about what Shui Han had ordered before, took out his scattered silver of ten or so taels of silver, went to the furniture store on the street, and bought some simple and durable furniture for a few people, including beds, cabinets, tables, etc.
I went to buy a set of kitchen utensils, and left two taels of silver for the cook, telling her to cook for the family every day. Since then, even Jiayue has a family.
After doing this, the next day, when he came out of the mansion to finish his work, he went to Lu Fengcai and told him about it. and handed over the silver ticket of three thousand taels of silver to Lu Fengcai.
Lu Fengcai's eyes widened, and he watched Lian Jiayue from beginning to end a few times, and finally, after showing Lian Jiayue, Lian Jiayue asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Lu Fengcai said: "I'll see what kind of good luck your kid has gone, how did he get rich like this." This is a double harvest of beautiful women's property. How are you so lucky? ”
Lian Jiayue couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Lu Fengcai sighed and said, "Hey, this is everyone's life, and I can't envy it." Well, you husband and wife trust me so much, why should I buy you a good property. I'll think about it for a few days, and I'll get back to you in a few days. ”
Lian Jiayue smiled very happily.
After two days, Lu Feng really gave Lian Jiayue an idea. And it was a detailed plan. Even Jiayue was busy offering treasures to Shui Han.
Shui Han was very satisfied, and after choosing a plan with Lian Jiayue, he went back to the inner courtyard. entered Chen Wenhui's house and saw Chen Wenhui sitting there boredly fiddling with spring flowers. It's not flowers that bloom outside, and it's spring now. However, it was very cold at Tiebi Pass, and the flowers had not yet opened, which was bloomed in the flower room of the conservatory.
Shui Han's heart moved, knowing that Chen Wenhui was a busy person, and it must be very boring to raise a baby in such a free time. I gave back what I wanted to reciprocate. Chen Wenhui instructed after that. Shui Han didn't leave immediately, but smiled and told Chen Wenhui about the things arranged in his house, as well as the things that he put together and handed over to Lian Jiayue's friends to manage.
Sure enough, Chen Wenhui was very interested. Listen to it with relish. Shui Han took a look. simply took out the plan written by Lu Fengcai. Show Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui looked carefully.
Lu Fengcai roughly meant that he analyzed the current situation of Tiebi Pass, as well as the prospects for future development, and finally gave a few plans. One is to take 3,000 taels of silver and put 3,000 acres of mountains and forests outside the city. Hire someone to cut down the miscellaneous trees and plant fruit trees, and the income is very stable. However, the time is relatively long, and the return is long after one investment.
There is also a way to sell the shops in two places in the city, the location is good, if you can take it down, there are still more than 100 taels of 3,000 taels of silver left, you can use this more than 100 taels of silver to renovate these two shops, the transformation is good, and the future rent can be about 20 taels of silver per month. There is also a moderation method, half of this money is used to buy land outside the city and collect rent, and the rest is to buy a few houses in the low-level civic areas of the city and renovate them, and the monthly rent can also be about ten taels of silver.
Chen Wenhui looked at the plan as reasonable, very detailed, and very well-written. I couldn't help but say, "What's this person's name?" Where are the people, in our banks? What are you doing now? ”
When Shui Han heard this, he knew that this was Lu Fengcai's opportunity. Busy said: "This Lu Feng is a fellow villager of Lian Jiayue, and he is from the Gyeonggi area. The family is gone. I grew up in my uncle's house, and later followed a relative of my family to work in our bank in the capital. Even Jiayue has been playing with him since he was a child, and there is no one at home, and it is very hard to live by relatives. As soon as Lu Fengcai gained a firm foothold in the bank, he brought Lian Jiayue from his hometown and joined the bank as an apprentice. However, Lian Jiayue has good qualifications, and he was soon selected to work in the account office of our house until now. Because Lian Jiayue followed the house to Tiebi Pass, he also took the initiative to follow the bank to Tiebi Pass. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "This person is good, he is a talented person." There are two rare points. After having a career, I didn't forget my old friends. Second, his friends are better than him, he is not jealous at all, and he can maintain such a good relationship. This shows that this person's character is still very good. ”
Shui Han smiled and said, "I think so too." By the way, he also got married, and the object was a girl from the Iron Wall Pass. That girl is an embroiderer in our Chen family's workshop. It's already a first-class embroiderer, and her craftsmanship is very good. I'm going to get married this year. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "So, he should settle in the northwest in the future?" But you have to know in your heart that we can only be here for ten years. Ten years from now, we will either return to the capital or go to Nanyang. I prefer to let you husband and wife follow us back to Nanyang. When we leave office, I don't want my people to stay here. ”
Shui Han thought about it and said, "I and Lian Jiayue know this. In the future, we will think about it slowly. Besides, county lord, this woman's fate follows her husband. Although that girl is a girl from Tiebi Pass, does she have to stay in Tiebi Pass for the rest of her life? She married a chicken and married Lu Fengcai, where Lu Fengcai will go in the future, she will naturally go. Can you still go along? I think that one day, she will definitely take her family to Nanyang. The climate of Nanyang is warm, but it is much stronger than this bitter cold place of Iron Wall. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it, but there was still something wrong with her own thinking, forgetting that this era is a patriarchal society, and where men settle down, their wives basically have no right to speak.
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "This talent can't be wasted." Find a time and ask him to come into the house and see me. You know that, too. We have been operating Shanhai City and Tiebi Pass very well for more than a year. Now, taking advantage of this heat, my grandfather and I are preparing to build five cities across the entire grassland. Shanhai City is a city in the south, and four more cities are built in the east, west, north, and middle of the entire grassland. However, we don't have so many people at once, and the court doesn't have so much money. However, in the spring, we need to build the city in the middle that is close to us. This requires a lot of people to come through. I'm going to transfer all these experienced people over the Iron Wall. In this way, the Iron Wall Pass will come again. I think this Lu Fengcai is a talent, so it is better to enter our official mansion. ”
Shui Han was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Lu Fengcai.
Chen Wenhui said: "Let's not talk about these first, by the way, how do you choose?" ”
Shui Han smiled and said: "Both of us are busy people, where do we have time to take care of these things, but the money is idle, and we have lost a little." So, buy something. So, I chose the easiest ones, which are those two shops. Although the income is lower, it is better to save trouble. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
At this time, Zhao Chongyi came back. Now as long as he has free time, he hurries back to accompany Chen Wenhui.
Seeing Shui Han laughing with Chen Wenhui, he asked them what they said. Chen Wenhui showed Zhao Chongyi the plan in his hand.
After Zhao Chongyi saw it, he said: "This Lu Feng is a talent." It's a bit of a condescension in the bank. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I said." I have already told Shui Han to ask her to find a time to bring this Lu Fengcai to us, I was thinking, right now, the city in the middle is going to be built, half of these officials in Tiebiguan have gone there, and our officials in Tiebiguan will recruit another batch. This Lu Fengcai wants to arrange him in. This also reminds me. ”
"We always choose from scholars, or from those famous talents in the imperial court, it is too narrow, in fact, we can also choose from our banks and workshops. These people are our own people, talented, loyal, and better, but they have no fame and are not in harmony with the rules of the court. ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "It doesn't matter, when we came, the emperor had already agreed, and we could freely dispose of official positions, personnel, and appropriations." We set the rules as we say, and we use whoever we say. The emperor won't say anything. However, you are also right to remind you, I still give the emperor a note, and say, after crossing the Ming Road, the imperial history of the province will speak. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Then Zhao Chongyi gently asked Chen Wenhui about eating and resting today.
Shui Han pursed his lips and smiled, taking this opportunity to retire.
returned to his residence, dealt with affairs, and after being idle, he thought about it, and went to the front yard account office, found Lian Jiayue, and told him the news.
Lian Jiayue was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "This kid also said that I am a lucky person, and I think he is also a lucky person." Well, I've always thought he was very talented. Pick up people and things kindly, deal with things quickly, and see problems very clearly. Do things neatly. It's really condescending to be in the bank. Well, now it's time for him to show his talents. ”
Shui Han pursed his lips and smiled.
Lian Jiayue hurriedly asked Shui Han to the end: "Thank you, Han'er, you are really our lucky star." ”
Shui Han's face turned red and said, "What nonsense? This man comes and goes, and he is not afraid of people seeing jokes. You tell Lu Fengcai that the day after tomorrow, if I have time, ask him to come in the mansion to find me, and I will take him to see the county lord. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Lian Jiayue couldn't help but be a little stupid when he looked at the slender figure of Shui Han in the distance. As soon as I thought about the news, I had to quickly tell Lu Fengcai, hurry back to work, and strive to go back to Lu Fengcai as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
