Chen Wenhui's aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while, Shuilian knocked on the door and wanted to come in, Chen Wenhui hurriedly called Shuilian in, and Shuilian said, "The deputy city lord is here." ”

It turned out that Wan Shuhui was here, and Chen Wenhui hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

Lang Xue has long known that Wan Shuhui is a person, an aunt was born, but now she is famous, has official positions, and has money, she is a role model for women, and she is the right and left hand of her sister-in-law. However, it has always been difficult, and today is just an opportunity, and I wanted to say goodbye, but when I heard this, I sat down and waited to see this Wan Shuhui.

After a while, a beautiful woman came in from outside the door, with a beautiful posture, such as a weak willow supporting the wind, wearing a woven gold jacket with large flowers all over the ground, inside is a ginger arrow sleeve shirt, below is a turmeric pleated skirt of the same color, tied with silver thread lace, decorated with a circle of pearls, wearing a red gold hairpin with a little emerald big flower on her head, and six red gold hairpins are juxtaposed, which are six kinds of bonsai, and there is a small velvet flower on the sideburns, golden red, trembling and towering, very cute.

People are dressed gorgeously, they are also good-looking, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a pink and white face, the facial features are extremely exquisite, there is no wind and frost, and there is no old woman, she looks like a young woman in her twenties, and she is in her prime, especially the confidence that is revealed between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people look at it at a glance and will not forget it.

I can't help but yearn for the snow.

Chen Wenhui said: "You came quickly, let me introduce you first, this is Chongyi's sister, Miss Zhao, whose name is Tricky." Langxue, this is a second-class member of the imperial court, the deputy city lord of Nanyang Qingchun City, and the deputy city lord of Nanyang Qingchun City, and also the Nanyang Bank. The president of Dachu Bank is in power and is still a god of wealth. You have to settle it well. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said: "Wen Hui, your mouth is becoming more and more funny, Miss Zhao, don't listen to your sister-in-law, she is narrow, if you can afford me in the future, just call me Sister Shuhui." ”

As soon as she heard this, she fell in love with this hearty person, and hurriedly said, "Sister Shuhui." Then don't call me Miss Zhao. Like my sister-in-law, just ask me to make snow. ”

Wan Shuhui also likes to make snow, a beauty, who looks delicate and weak, but is actually a sparse character. smiled and said, "Then I'll let me scream at Sister Snow." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You guys hit it off at first sight. Simply. Shuhui, don't go back at noon today. Let's eat in our house. Make snow, you go to the kitchen to see what you have to eat, and treat the God of Wealth well. ”

Rang Xue knew they had something to say. Busy smiled and agreed.

Wan Shuhui said, "Then let's eat here with you." They all say that the food in your house is the best, and I want to eat a good meal today. Sister Rongxue, you go to the kitchen and watch, if there is anything good, get it, don't save money for your sister-in-law. ”

Knowing that they were used to joking, Langxue laughed along, saluted, and got up to leave.

After getting Xue to leave, Chen Wenhui asked, "How is the bank's matter?" Chongyi and I are going to go to Jiangnan for a while, and we may have to walk around somewhere else, and you have to discuss the affairs of the capital with my parents more. ”

Wan Shuhui took out a small fold from her sleeve, and opened it to be a few pieces of paper, on which were neatly written with beautiful hairpins.

Wan Shuhui handed it to Chen Wenhui and sat on the circle chair next to the table, there was already a water lotus coming to tea, Wan Shuhui said: "I came here for this today." You are going to leave the capital, and I have to tell you many things first, so that after you leave, there will be no one to give me ideas. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Are you really prepared?" There are so many dense, what's going on? ”

Wan Shuhui said: "A few things. One is the banking problem you just mentioned. Our bank is now in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou City, these big cities have pulled the business of the Wang Bank, and now their family is in a tight position and can no longer hold on. However, in the south of the Yangtze River, it is their old nest, and there is still a market. That is the foundation, and our next step is to deal with the foundation of their family, which requires the cooperation of people in Jiangnan officialdom. I thought, you and the second master are going to Jiangnan for a trip, simply, help us get a line, and we can do things. I sent a bank steward to follow. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Jiangnan is the nest of the Wang family, not the nest of your family?" Isn't the business of your Wanjia Money Village bigger than that of the Wang family? Your thousands of families have been entrenched in Jiangnan for so many years, and your in-laws are everywhere, although they have developed in Nanyang in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how can it be better than a nouveau riche of the Wang family, right? Where's the use of me? You're afraid I'm idle, aren't you? ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said: "Most of the officials in Jiangnan are the cronies of Lord Chen, this is well known to everyone in the world, our Wan family is familiar with everyone in Jiangnan, but it is only familiar in the business field, not in the officialdom, and it is still necessary to rely on the help of Lord Chen." ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "Now the patrol of the three provinces is my father's old subordinate Huang Tingzhen. It would have been much easier to have his help. Well, we must visit him when we go, and when the time comes, I'll pull the strings. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "Okay, that's all there is to it." There is a second thing. It's our Qingchun City. You have done the business of shaking off the shopkeeper, our Qingchun City, or reporting to me, there are really a lot of things. The three cities are now short of manpower, although a large number of Japanese slaves have come over, and you have recruited many people from Dachu in the past year, but the gap is still very large, if you go to Jiangnan, which is a densely populated place, just recruit some skilled craftsmen to come over. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I don't need to say this, this is one of the main purposes of our trip. That's why I'm going to visit Wong Teng Chun. Originally, the officials in Jiangnan were good friends with our Xiao Chen family, and the population was also dense, so it was suitable for going overseas, so I would definitely think of pulling more people over. In fact, in addition to those ordinary people, I have a plan for merchants, scholars and craftsmen, and this time I will personally recruit them, and I will definitely be able to recruit a large number of talents for our Nanyang city. You can rest assured. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "That's good." In addition to this matter, I also want to tell you about the matter of Qingchun City. We have reached Qingchun City by now, and most of the land has reached the time of paying taxes. In this way, this year, we in Qingchun City not only do not need you to subsidize again, but can also pay you again. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Is it easy? I've worked hard for so many years, and now I'm seeing my roots. How much money can you give me this year? I still have a lot of expenses here. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "You, the richest person recognized as the richest person in Da Chu, shout about the lack of money every day, it's incredible. This year, I can give you back about 800,000 taels of silver. It could have been more, and if it was all taken out, it would probably be possible for Qingchun City to balance nearly two million taels of silver this year. However, I plan to build more roads to the villages and towns, so I will spend more money. There is also a need for further investment in Vermilion Bird City, so I left one million taels for Vermilion Bird City, so that I can only give you 800,000 taels. Is it enough for you? ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "Then can the income of our bank, as well as the income of my Treasure Mirror Workshop, support the construction of Vermilion Bird City?" ”

Shui Lian hurriedly said: "I settled the income of the Treasure Mirror Workshop before, and it has been allocated to the ten thousand deputy city lords. ”

Wan Shuhui nodded and said, "Yes." The income of our bank has increased greatly this year, because of the construction of several new cities in Yumei City, Yangwei City, and Jinge City, as well as the Siam Kingdom, Princess Lichuan is also taking loans, and our Da Chu is robbing the Wang family's business this year, and the share has become more and more money, so the income is more, plus the income of Baojingfang, and the one million taels of silver given by Qingchun City, the construction of Vermilion Bird City is not affected at all. Moreover, by the end of next year, the land of our three acropolis will also be taxed, and at that time, there should be more surplus, so the construction of Suzaku City will not be delayed at all. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. The policy of several cities in Nanyang is to exempt land from tax for three years.

Wan Shuhui continued: "There is also the construction of Yumei City, because Yumei City is invested by everyone, so there is no need for us to post money, of course, the consequence of not sticking money is that we will not get dividends within five years." So, for the time being, you can only spend 800,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and asked Shuilian, "How much does our house cost?" And those subordinates under my command, counting the monthly money of the stewards, how much do we spend? This part has to be set aside first. ”

Shuilian took stock of the accounts all day long, and she still remembered these big numbers very clearly.

She said: "The total cost of these is about 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said, "Hey, I'm really a king of spending." Okay, just like that, take out the 200,000 taels of silver, and put it alone in the house. I can only spend 600,000 taels of silver, which is really not enough. I'm going to go to the northwest after the beginning of spring, and everything is difficult at the beginning there, and it must cost a lot. Just make do with it. When the time comes, it will not be enough, and I will take out a bank loan again. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "It's best to take out a loan, anyway, it's also a matter of the imperial court, why spend your own money?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Where is the matter of the imperial court." You reminded me that after going to the northwest, the imperial court will also have large-scale construction, and the imperial court has no money at all now, you should prepare first, after the beginning of spring, the bank will follow me to the northwest, and a branch will be established in the northwest, so that the imperial court will be built, and I will let Chongyi go to our bank for a loan, this business can not be cheap to others. ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said: "I've thought about this for a long time, I'm just waiting for you, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it." How could I let go of the opportunity to make money? ”

Everyone laughed. (To be continued......)
