Chapter 511 Singing in the World Stars in the sky
The disaster relief will usher in a backlash, which is the consciousness of Ning Yi, Qin Siyuan and others early on. This backlash may come from far away, or from near, or from friends around you, and there will also be relatives from around you, just because of the world, the relationship between people is so complicated. As long as you want to do something, you often can't hide from it.
The rebound in the north and south began as early as the grain merchants in various places entered the disaster area, and the situation around them gradually spread after mid-October. Qin Siyuan, Yao Zunian and other famous people have the most troubles to deal with, and the princess of Chengguo Zhou Xuan and the concubine Kangxian must be the same, but most of the royal relatives can be a little less reasonable. Ning Yi's operation in the Prime Minister's Mansion was only discovered after the most difficult time, and when others knew that he was the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion in charge of this area, the people who came to the door one after another were indispensable.
Wealthy gentlemen and officials from all over the north and south came up to the door to introduce their backgrounds, leaving behind suggestive threats, and at the same time trying to leave behind all kinds of priceless gifts. Some people sent jewelry and jade, some people sent Mobao famous articles, if there is a bad temperament in the middle, maybe they will be scolded. After being scolded, a Confucian from Hebei left his address and asked Ning Yi to go over in person another day to listen to the teachings, saying that his poetry writing was still okay, like charity. Su Tan'er had no choice but to respond.
The one who copes with these things at home is Su Tan'er.
These days, Ning Yi only comes back every night, and spends most of his time in Xiangfu during the day. Although they can also receive some people on their behalf, they can't really be on their own after all. Some people with relatively high status are not easy to talk casually. Tan'er has never been exposed to this level before, but after all, she is more experienced than Wen Dingwen Fang, and when she is the mother of the house, it is enough to receive people, as long as she has a good attitude, it is not good for others to entangle too much with a woman.
While dealing with these evil customers who came to the door, Tan'er also had to manage the business of Su's cloth shop. Su's cloth line and Zhuji are combined, combined as "Suning", when they first arrived in Bianliang. Because of Zuo Houwen's speech. Because of this, Su's cheap fabrics could not open a business, and later Ning Yi began to use salesmen to play boutique strategies, which made Su's clothes now a luxury. However, at the beginning, Tan'er single-handedly promoted the technical advantages of improving the loom, and during this disaster relief. Some grain merchants have made a lot of money in the affected areas. Not only to give back to the next food business. Winter clothing fabrics were also specially purchased and transported to the disaster area.
As a result, Sue has obtained a large amount of orders, which are not only high in price, but also in high profits. The other party hasn't even made any unrestricted requests. If you can deliver the goods, I will give you the money, if you can't deliver the goods, everyone is your own person, it doesn't matter, even if there is not enough manpower or cotton, everyone will come to greet a few times. As a result, several cheap cloth workshops originally set up by the Su family were operating at full capacity, and a large number of female workers were recruited.
However, at this time, the atmosphere of the Su family in Ningfu and Jiangning is no longer the same, with Ning Yi as an example, several cousins understand that only after surviving this hardship can they make great achievements in the future. Therefore, no one is lazy and complaining, and they are all working hard with trepidation.
The foreign gentry and dignitaries came to the door, Ning Yi was not there, and they didn't have much to do, if they wanted to extend the tentacles of the relationship to the right prime minister's mansion, it was another matter. Although the various pressures around Qin Siyuan during this period were bound to be greater, with his majesty and control, not many people could cross the wall of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and directly put pressure on it. Of course, in addition to these people, there are also a small number of people who are not so easy to get rid of at the moment due to their special relationships.
Among these people, there are some distant relatives who are close to each other, and some business partners. For example, after Tan'er turned the Su family's business to the north, there was an uncle named Hu Chengyan, who originally had some relationship with the Su family, who provided cotton materials for Tan'er's side, and the two sides had been working together happily, even if Tan'er was blocked by Zuo Houwen's side, the other party did not give up, and often asked if he wanted to help. But after this disaster relief, he and his family came over in the form of a door-to-door visit, knocking on the side and persuading: Ning Yi is not powerful after all, this time he is doing this, he is guilty of public anger, the right minister is in a high position, naturally not afraid of these, if someone wants to do something to your family, you can't stop it.
Although he was bitter and asked his wife to help persuade Tan'er, in fact, his background behind him was a wealthy family that was quite influential in the capital and Huainan. When Tan'er always responded with Tai Chi kung fu, he vaguely revealed: You have recently purchased a large amount of cotton, but my home stock is not much, and if this continues, it may be out of stock......
In addition to Hu Chengyan, there are some suppliers and channel providers who have come to the door one after another, including Su's and Zhuji, and even rent land to people here, saying that they will take back the place: "Don't be afraid of breach of contract, we will lose money." "Most of these people are related to local wealthy families, and after the other party found out about Ning Yi's network, they let them come to the door to exert pressure, and some of them also communicated with each other, and many people took Hu Chengyan as the core and took turns to persuade them.
The pressure of the bits and pieces around the body, the combination of good words and persuasion or bad words, it is impossible for anyone to be without burden. Tan'er dealt with all this calmly on the surface, because the matter still involved Zhuji, so she waited for Ning Yi's final decision, Ning Yi let her delay it for a few days, and only today did Tan'er call everyone to come to the door together. When Ning Yi came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tan'er was talking to his uncle and aunt in the backyard, and Su Wending and others were entertaining guests in the front hall, which was already quite lively.
“…… Tan'er, it's not that my aunt said you, my aunt is short-sighted, and she doesn't like to listen to some words, so you can just listen to it. The countryside knows that arrows shoot birds, there are some things, you were proud at the time, what will you do in the future...... Your husband-in-law, you are the master of the family, you have to grasp the proportions, you can't leave everything to him, he does such a thing, you should persuade him more, right......"
In the backyard room, Mrs. Hu chattered and persuaded Tan'er, but Tan'er always kept a smile on her face and responded politely.
"Auntie, I'm also a woman. He is my father-in-law, and I respect him and love him...... I was so strong at the beginning, but I was young and ignorant, and there was no one at home who could hold it up, so I was forced. Women, who doesn't want to have a husband and children at home? Auntie, those things are men's business, let them take care of them. ”
"Hey, where can I say that. Tan'er, you don't let your eyebrows go. There are some things, you still have to be persuaded, you have to listen to your aunt's ......"
"Tan'er knows the way."
Tan'er's Tai Chi was slippery and didn't leave her hands, and Hu Chengyan just listened outside the door. There was no involvement. He knows how powerful this niece is. The character is actually resolute. But what about resoluteness. It's a matter of water milling, and you can stand the talk of one person, and maybe ten hundred. But there will definitely be annoyance in the heart, as long as it is annoying, it is easy to have friction at home, easy to quarrel, easy to get angry, and then you will know that the pressure of the road is everywhere, this time, it is not their family, there are already many people joining forces.
Above his Hu family is the Liu family in the capital, the Liu family has been a wealthy family for generations, and this time he asked him to do things, and he also made a promise to marry a young lady of the main family to his son. He is going to marry this in-laws. In fact, he didn't want to force Tan'er and his wife to be too ruthless, mainly to let the other party raise his hand in a few small places in Huainan. The Liu family is a kind-hearted person, and they don't want to starve people to death, but it's just convenient to harvest the fields. His family also has a little share in the middle, and the famine of that year was actually like this, and now I'm going to collect some land, you can't block my way. Everyone is your own people, you want disaster relief, we don't stop you, we are not bad people, we are also measured......
Ning Yi came in through the back door, and then saw Ning Xi and Xiaochan playing here, Xiaochan held the child and waved, and said to Ning Xi, "Daddy." Ning Xi also pointed over there: "Little Mom, Daddy." ”
Ning Yi came over and hugged Xiaochan and the child, asked about the situation ahead, and then went in, and then saw Hu Chengyan waiting over there. The other party had already laughed: "Ha Lu Ha, Li Heng Xian's nephew." ”
"Uncle Hu Shi." Ning Yi smiled, then went to the door of the room and said hello inside, "My aunt is here...... Tan'er, I'm back. ”
Tan'er stood up and nodded, and the couple exchanged a look. Mrs. Hu was about to babble something to Ning Yi, but Ning Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm slacking, I have something to say to Uncle Hu Shi, let Tan'er accompany you, let Tan'er accompany you...... Uncle Hu Shi, take a step to speak. ”
Ning Yi stretched out his hand and walked along the corridor with Hu Chengyan, Hu Chengyan said: "Liheng, ......" Ning Yi looked back, with a smile on his face, but spoke quickly: "Uncle Hu Shi, I have been looking for you for some things recently, but unfortunately I am too busy with official business to take a break, it just so happens that you are here today, you can discuss it with Uncle Hu Shi." Oh, go this way......"
"Uh......"
Hu Chengyan wanted to speak, but Ning Yi didn't wait for him to speak, and his speed was not slow: "That's the case, recently, there has been a great demand from the cloth shop, and the cotton in Uncle Hu Shi's hands can't keep up." Presumably Uncle Shi also knows that the Su family has opened the market, and so has Zhuji, and many people have contacted me recently saying that they want to cooperate...... Oh, the list is here, Uncle Hu, take a look. ”
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, it was a supply and sales list of various materials, with the names of each family written on it, and when he swept down the cotton material, there were two names on it: "Haicheng Zhang Pei" and "Lucheng Tang Sihan".
"Look, these, these...... Oh, don't get me wrong about this Uncle Hu, we have always wanted the goods of Uncle Shi's family, but the last time Uncle Shi came to the door and said that cotton was in short supply, it was a pity and anxiety. Tan'er told me that we shouldn't trouble Uncle Shi any more, so we took a little bit of the missing fabric with the Zhang family. But after this time, we still have as many goods as we have in Uncle Shi's hands, and how much we want. Ning Yi said, laughing for a moment, and then retracted his expression, "But, next, it's time to develop." ”
The two of them walked together.
"Uncle Hu Shi may not know that this Xiangfu disaster relief, we Zhuji also participated, and made a little effort. There aren't many merits, but I still know some people. Within a radius of 800 miles near Bianliang, there are 87 large landowners and large businessmen who have contacted us, as well as some other retail households. You know that some people are bold, as long as they are friends, they are willing to help, for example, this raw silk that has a family, he is willing to give us, is seventy percent of the wholesale price in the market, and ...... It's best to be in good condition, don't say a word. ”
"Because of the disaster relief, Suning's development has slowed down a little." Ning Yi said, "But in the next two years, we have a new plan, and the general outline has come out." Uncle Shi. Do you think that with the help and support of these people, coupled with the power of the Prime Minister's Office, how big will we develop next? ”
Hu Chengyan frowned: "This ......"
"In the next two years, Zhuji will open all over the country, and I will expand more than 50 stores in all big cities. Su's cloth, just next year, Tan'er and I will expand fivefold. That is, five times as much supply. ”
"New planning. There must be a new system. I discussed with Wending and them for a long time, and decided that at the beginning of the year, I would invite all my friends to get together and ask for how many goods. There will be a plan first. Everyone bids for it. How much can each other come up with? What price can it be? Doing business, since it's big, it's always like this. Uncle Shi also understands. ”
Gatherings, bidding for supplies, this is the atmosphere that only a business can have if the business is very large. But since it is a competitive bid, the price will definitely be pushed to the minimum. Hu Chengyan understood what Ning Yi was talking about, but Ning Yi laughed.
"But after this set of plans was formulated, Tan'er and I both said that others are just that, Uncle Hu Shishu has always taken such care of our family, how can he treat it like this. Therefore, I have always wanted to talk to Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi's goods, we will always collect them at the current price, how much we will collect, and if it is not enough, let the Zhang family and the Tang family help them, and at the beginning of next year, Uncle Shi can make a look. Ning Yi smiled, and then waved his hand seriously, "Hey, Uncle Shi, don't say anything outside the world, I know Uncle Shi's temperament, he never takes advantage of others, and we don't look down on you." For a long time, Tan'er has been doing business, taking care of you, you are elders, we are really our own people, a little money, our own people, make a profit without being too outside. In addition, there is one more thing, which can be regarded as a little nephew's presumptuous......"
Ning Yi looked around and lowered his voice: "Recently, I heard that the younger brother and the girl of the Liu family are preparing to get married, and the little nephew is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is a little convenient...... The little nephew shouldn't have said this matter originally, but it was a lifelong event for the younger brother, and the little nephew had to be a bad guy who chewed his tongue. Of course, Uncle Shi has to personally check it, this copy is a copy left after the investigation by the Secret Investigation Division, it is some trivial and mundane things, it doesn't matter, Uncle Shi will put it away first, and he will go to confirm the investigation later. The friends in front of me have been waiting for so long, and they have to ask Uncle Shi to accompany the little nephew to deal with it, and with Uncle Shi here, it is good to calm the scene. ”
He slipped another envelope containing information into the other's sleeve, patted the back of the other's hand, and then, holding his hand with both hands, walked forward.
In the front hall of the Ning family, more than ten people here have been waiting for a long time, and they are already impatient to talk to each other. Subsequently, I saw Ning Yi and Hu Chengyan come out hand in hand. Seeing that it was Ning Yi who appeared today, the hall was silent, and everyone stood up. Although they came over to "force the palace", Ning Yi was doing things in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and his status was not low, so everyone did not dare to ignore it. Everyone was thinking about what to say, and Ning Yi smiled and asked Hu Chengyan to sit down.
"Please be seated, please be seated, everyone is an old friend, you don't have to be polite. Wending, the tea is ready? Go inside and get my best jar of Mingqian, how old you are, you don't understand anything at all...... Everyone sit, uh......" Ning Yi was about to sit down, his expression was fixed, "Oh, there are two people who are not good friends, I'll deal with it first." ”
He walked up to the two people in the room: "Boss Chen, Mr. Hu." The land and house on the south side of the city and the west gate belong to yours respectively, and when we rented it, we signed the contract and had a guarantor to witness it. Now you have to take it back in advance, have you ever neglected the two of you? ”
One of them arched his hand and said, "Not really." Just ......"
"Have you ever offended the two of you?"
"No, it's just that we have something to take back now, and we're willing to ......"
"Okay, let's go to court."
"Huh?"
"Kaifeng Mansion, let's fight a lawsuit, no matter how long it takes, Ning will accompany you. Now, please go out of the country. He gestured his finger to the butler next to him, "Send off the guest." ”
After saying this, the housekeeper immediately came over, and one of them became angry: "The surname is Ning, we signed an agreement, I have something to do now, and I am willing to compensate, how can you humiliate me so much!" I'm going to make it clear today......"
As he said this, someone next to him immediately came over and said, "Liheng, don't do this......" Ning Yi glanced at him with a smile, there was already a tall nursing home outside the hall, and he wanted to invite the two of them out.
"If they do not go, throw them out."
This sentence was cold, and the two of them couldn't afford to lose anyone, so they had to scold and go out. In fact, Ning Yi and others came to Bianliang at the beginning. Some things are done by others, and the contracts signed are not as strict as those of later generations. Ning Yi didn't care much about this money, but since the other party wanted to disgust himself and make himself uncomfortable, he also had to fight back indifferently. In the previous life, he was a good person in the shopping mall, and when he went to the government, the power of the right minister's mansion would at least not be bullied, even if he was sentenced to return the house and land, the other party would still lose that money. Or even a little less. You also have to make the other party uncomfortable for a while, and you can usher in more buffer time.
After driving out these two people, Ning Yi sat down with a smile: "Taking advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, I don't welcome this kind of person." You're all old friends. Ning does things. I've always taken care of my friends. Come on, come on, I have something here, Wending. You send it. ”
He took out a stack of papers from his body, each one was the same as what Hu Chengyan saw, and Su Wending sent them down one by one.
"There will be some changes in this matter related to the new development of Su's cloth shop and Zhu Kee, but I promise that the opportunity to make a lot of money has arrived. Let's do business, ask for money, and want a win-win situation, I guarantee that everyone will be the first to see this thing, so that everyone will be prepared first...... Let's see, I'll tell you more about it......"
Ning Yi's words resounded in the hall, and although the tone was soft, the atmosphere was cold and hard. Soon after, everyone saw his attitude: If you want to make trouble, I will change you all!
No one expected him to sit directly to this extent. In all fairness, if you want to replace all the people, Ning Yi's side will also have losses, and if everyone wants to make trouble for Ning Yi, of course, they can directly tear their faces. But soon after, they also vaguely saw the prospect of Zhuji, if this disaster relief really made the other party form so many relationships, and then with the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Suning will also become a force that is not inferior to any gentry and wealthy clan - because it was originally in the name of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Everyone originally relied on a certain wealthy family to survive, so they came to the door this time, but to say that they are more valued by those big families, it is not necessarily true. Ning Yi's description is actually already hinting: Instead of following them, it is better to follow me, you and I already have a cooperative relationship, and if you want to expand and develop in the future, you will be more proficient, this cake, as long as you want, everyone can share it by yourself.
Soon after, two people tore their faces on the spot and left, while the rest were still watching, and Hu Chengyan did not speak almost the whole time. After Ning Yi left here and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was Su Tan'er who came out to entertain them. After a while, these people finally left one after another. It's almost evening, it's almost dusk, the night falls, stars rise in the sky, the night wind is cold, and in the huge Bianliang City, I don't know how many people are still doing what they want to do.
In the middle of the night, Ning Yi took a carriage all the way back to his home from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the bright yellow lights and the sound of laughter shrouded the Ning Mansion in such a season, some people said to laugh, some people made trouble, some people held Ning Xi and ran in the yard with their teeth and claws, and the laughter of the child Gege occasionally came. Ning Yi greeted one person by one, and when he went back to the room, a warm yellow light was on in the bedroom, Tan'er was sitting on a stool, wearing a graceful skirt, and was dipping her feet in a wooden basin filled with hot water, with her hands on her knees, seeing Ning Yi come in, she smiled at him.
Ning Yi walked over, squatted down, and put his hand into the hot water, Tan'er's body shrank slightly, and he reached out to press: "Don't." She probably felt that this was not something that a man could do, but Ning Yi didn't mind, and washed her for a while to reduce fatigue. In fact, dealing with all kinds of trivial things every day, even if the attitude can be tough, you will still feel troubled and tired physically and mentally, powerful people are just mentally excited, and they will never compromise, but the feeling of tiredness is still there, even if Ning Yi is familiar with business things, it is no exception.
At this time, the couple can actually understand each other, and as they get along for a long time, time passes, and they are still becoming more and more tacit. There was no sound in the room, only the occasional sound of water, and the trivial sounds of the warm big family outside could be heard in the distance. Tan'er stretched out her hand to support her knees, looked up, and after a while, hummed softly: "Stars in the sky...... Brilliant ......"
It was a ballad in Ning Yi's memory, and it was later sung to Tan'er, who always remembered it and liked it. Listening to her singing softly, Ning Yi smiled and hummed softly: "That's a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes......"
"Blink, wink...... Look~Ah, look......"
"That's a childhood friend......"
"Hehe......"
The man crouched in front of the woman, and the lamp reflected a scene in the room in the song. Simple, quiet sounds seem to evoke reminiscences. Their childhood friends are long gone, and their lives are no longer simple, and in this huge whirlpool, they are even more complex and dangerous than ordinary people. Not long after, Tan'er also waited for Ning Yi to wash his feet by the bed, and after a while, the lights in the room dimmed, and the lights of the entire mansion also dimmed, letting everything fall into a warm sleep. The day has passed, and the complex enemies have been defeated and pushed away by them, and more people have not stopped their desires, and on the new day, more enemies will surround them, and they will interfere, pull, hinder or attack them by different means.
But as long as you can snuggle up with someone, everything will become distant at some point.
Then, the next day arrived...... (To be continued......)
