After forming a staff team, it can be said that the results are remarkable, which makes Zhao Junchen worry a lot in many things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The staff members have a lot of work on a daily basis, such as sorting out and classifying daily affairs, collecting and sorting out intelligence materials, drafting documents, formulating official documents, and so on.

In this way, Zhao Junchen can save a lot of effort, get rid of the details, and then stand in a higher position, peek at the overall situation with a more keen eye, and make more rational and long-term judgments.

During this period of time, Zhao Junchen had more and more things to deal with -- the government affairs of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, the party rivalry in the temple, the future development of the "Zhao Party", the operation and operation of the United Shipping Company, the various industries of the Zhao Mansion, the preparation of the palace of Emperor Deqing, the collection and collation of intelligence, and Zhao Junchen's private plans -- if it were not for the assistance of the staff team, Zhao Junchen would have been completely dragged down by these complicated affairs! Even if you can barely support it, you have already been confused by the complicated appearance, and it is impossible to maintain a rational mind and a vision of the overall situation all the time.

Within Zhao Junchen's staff team, there are seven core figures, namely Xiao Wenxuan, Su Xiqing, Li Chuanwen, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Lun, and Xu Jing.

Among them, Xiao Wenxuan has the best knowledge, the highest understanding, and the greatest potential, and is currently far away in Yangzhou, helping Zhao Junchen deal with the affairs of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and is responsible for monitoring the officialdom trends of Nanzhili and the development progress of the United Shipping Company, which is Zhao Junchen's deliberate training for him, and intends to let him be independent; And Li Chuanwen is the head of all the staff, with the most experience, mainly responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and will also help Zhao Junchen deal with the affairs of the imperial court, and now he is following Gu Quan to Nanzhili to deal with the affairs of Su Changyi and the United Boat Company, these two are not in the capital at present, so there is no need to mention it for the time being.

Among the remaining core staff, Su Xiqing is good at account figures, and has always been responsible for Zhao Junchen's treasury income and expenditure and various industries; Niu Fude has a calm personality and a keen vision, and has always been responsible for the collation and analysis of intelligence; Ouyang Bo has a cautious personality, plans and then acts, and has been assisting Zhao Junchen in dealing with the "Zhao Party" and party disputes, Li Lun is young and slightly inexperienced, but he is talented, has a unique vision, and does not follow the rules, so he is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps and providing suggestions.

In addition, there is also a staff member named Xu Jing who is Zhao Junchen's newly unearthed talent, this person is good at writing, and his personality is also introverted and reliable, he has always been responsible for Zhao Junchen's copywriting work, and Zhao Junchen's daily recitals and decrees are all from Xu Jing's handwriting.

These staff members perform their own duties, and the division of labor and cooperation, has always been outstanding, extremely efficient, although Zhao Junchen has more and more things in his hands, but with their assistance, he can still be at ease.

In the past few days, Zhao Junchen's development has been smooth, and the dedicated assistance of these staff members is definitely indispensable.

In the past few days, the busiest people in the staff are undoubtedly Su Xiqing and Ouyang Bo.

The matter of the "Zhao Party" officials taking a stake in the "United Shipping Company" involved a huge amount of silver, which needed to be handled by Su Xiqing, while the matter of "Jingcha" was even more complicated, and many things needed to be handled by Ouyang Bo.

In the evening of this day, Su Xiqing pushed the door into Zhao Junchen's study and presented Zhao Junchen with an account report: "My lord, the accounts of the officials' shareholding in the 'United Shipping Company' have been completed, and a total of sixty-seven officials have taken out silver, they have taken out a maximum of 100,000 taels of silver, and at least 10,000 taels of silver, a total of 3.35 million taels of silver. In addition to this, His Majesty's treasury also took out one million taels of silver to take a stake in the United Shipping Company, and if this silver was added, the total amount would be four million three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "Very good, the amount is more than I imagined, with this investment of silver, it is enough for me to control the future direction of the 'United Ship Company'." ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen asked Su Xiqing: "How much silver is still available in our mansion?" ”

Su Xiqing's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied: "There is not much silver that can be used in the mansion, only about less than 700,000 taels of silver, if you count some jewelry and property that are easy to realize, this figure can reach more than 800,000 taels." ”

Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, and said, "Oh? All that's left is a little bit of silver? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Su Xiqing kept her mouth tightly closed, without any intention of answering.

Zhao Junchen's silver is only less than 700,000 taels, if this matter spreads, I am afraid no one will believe that this amount of silver seems to be a huge amount, but it is not worthy of Zhao Junchen's reputation as a corrupt official at all!

In fact, Su Xiqing knows very well that although Zhao Junchen has long ceased to be corrupt, he still has a lot of various inputs, and every year just the filial piety of the party henchmen and the profits of various industries add up to millions of taels of silver! But the accounts of the Zhao Mansion are still beyond their means, because there are often huge amounts of silver in the accounts of the Zhao Mansion that suddenly disappear, and the sum of these mysteriously disappeared silver is nearly three million taels!

Where the silver was used, except for Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru, and Xu Qingyan, no one knew that although Su Xiqing was also Zhao Junchen's confidant, he was only responsible for taking out the silver and handing it to Fang Ru.

Obviously, without the knowledge of his staff, Zhao Junchen was secretly carrying out some plans. These plans require a huge amount of money to support them, so much so that even a corrupt official like Zhao Junchen can only barely maintain it!

But what exactly these plans are, no one knows.

Zhao Junchen arranged for Gu Quan to meddle in Su Changyi's affairs, just because Zhao Junchen found that the silver in his hand was not enough, so he coveted Su Changyi's huge family property!

However, it is precisely because these plans are too mysterious that Su Xiqing also abides by his duty, never asks about things that should not be known, and does not have any intention of delving into them, just obeys Zhao Junchen's instructions.

At this time, after he heard Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he was even more silent and did not express any opinions.

In fact, Zhao Junchen also understands where his money goes.

Infiltrate military towns, buy the inner court, and expand intelligence networks...... These things are all gold-swallowing beasts, and even Zhao Junchen's huge family property can't withstand consumption at all.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen's inquiry was just talking to himself, and he didn't expect Su Xiqing to answer his question, but continued: "In that case, take out 650,000 taels of silver from the mansion, make up enough five million taels of silver, and then transfer it to Nanzhili through the channel of the household department, and hand over this silver to Li Chuanwen and Xiao Wenxuan as soon as possible." ”

Su Xiqing hesitated: "My lord, if this is the case, there will be less than 50,000 taels of silver left in our house, and if there is an emergency need for silver, I am afraid that this 50,000 taels of silver will not be enough." ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, the income of 'Yuerong Fang' this quarter will be handed over to the mansion soon, and the bank deposit in the mansion will naturally be abundant at that time." The most important thing now is Li Chuanwen and Xiao Wenxuan's side, and what they want to do must be supported by this silver, otherwise it will be difficult to be effective. ”

Su Xiqing naturally knew what Li Chuanwen and Xiao Wenxuan were going to do.

This time, Zhao Junchen arranged for Huang Yourong and Gu Quan to go to Nanzhili, in addition to trying Su Changyi's case, he also had to take action to rectify those Huizhejiang businessmen who were unwilling to join the "United Boat Company"! After all those merchants in Huizhejiang are destroyed, their family wealth will be confiscated, and all the properties under their names will be auctioned, including a huge number of trading houses, ships, and farm houses!

At that time, Li Chuanwen and Xiao Wenxuan's task was to buy all these trading houses, ships, and farmhouses at a low price.

Then, if the farmland in the hands of the income is sold at a high price, you can reap a large profit, and as for those trading houses and ships, they can be integrated together to form a new trading house with a large scale!

This firm, Zhao Junchen named it "Zhao's firm", a very cheesy name, will not attract too much attention, the ostensible owner of this firm will be the Yangzhou Zhao family, and Zhao Junchen has no direct relationship.

Of course, the start-up funds of the "Zhao Firm" are all from the silver of the Deqing Emperor and the officials of the "Zhao Party", and Zhao Junchen's silver only accounts for a small part, but as long as he makes a slight move in the accounts, Zhao Junchen can become the real owner of the "Zhao Ship Company".

For example, after Xiao Wenxuan and Li Chuanwen obtained a cargo ship by auctioning off 500 taels of silver, they put the cargo ship into the "Zhao Firm" according to the price of 1,000 taels of silver, and the extra 500 taels of silver in the account became Zhao Junchen's investment and shares.

The so-called "white wolf with empty gloves" is what it means.

After the establishment of the "Zhao's Firm", its scale will inevitably far exceed that of any Huizhou and Zhejiang businessman's firm, so once the "Zhao's Firm" joins the "United Shipping Company", it will inevitably become the leading force of the "United Shipping Company"! Zhao Junchen himself has become the largest shareholder of United Shipping Company!

In this way, Zhao Junchen, as the founder, supervisor, and largest shareholder of "United Shipping Company", can control the future direction of "United Shipping Company" to the greatest extent, and the behemoth of "United Shipping Company" will inevitably become one of the most powerful forces in Zhao Junchen's hands!

At that time, there is no need to mention how much benefit Zhao Junchen can reap.

In order to achieve this goal, the investment of five million taels of silver is necessary! So Zhao Junchen did not hesitate at this time.

After thinking about this, Su Xiqing didn't have any objections,

However, after a moment of hesitation, Su Xiqing couldn't help but remind: "My lord, when you first established the 'United Shipping Company', you promised to those Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen who joined the 'United Shipping Company', saying that you would only provide preferential policies for the 'United Shipping Company' and would not interfere in the daily operation of the 'United Shipping Company', but our actions this time are not small, anyone can see that we want to further control the 'United Shipping Company', and those Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen who have joined the 'United Shipping Company' may be unconvinced." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and said, "What can they do if they are not convinced?" I'm just secretly controlling the 'United Boat Line', and no one can fault it. I arranged for Huang Yourong to rectify those merchants in Huizhejiang who were unwilling to join the 'United Boat Company', which also meant to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys! Even if those Huizhejiang businessmen who joined the 'United Ship Company' were not convinced, they would definitely be honest for a while, and when they couldn't help but want to rebound, the 'United Ship Company' would have been firmly controlled by us...... What's more, as long as their earnings can be guaranteed, their rebound will not be too intense, and there will not be too much chaos. ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen had thought it through, Su Xiqing didn't say anything more, just nodded, then left the study and did what Zhao Junchen ordered.

However, not long after Su Xiqing left the study, Niu Fude and Ouyang Bo entered Zhao Junchen's study together, both of them had serious expressions, and it seemed that they had important news to report to Zhao Junchen.
