Chapter 420: The New Metropolitan Governor of Guangzhou
The sun was shining, and the dogs on both sides of the road were hiding in shady corners, sticking out their tongues, lazily without any strength at all. But the wharf of Guangzhou Port is in full swing. Piles of goods were unloaded from the ship, and the hard-working workers carried the goods to the warehouse designated by the city shipping company in batches.
The whole port was busy but not chaotic, next to the unloading ships, crowded with people watching where to watch, and when a batch of goods came down, someone shouted: "That's my house, my family's goods... ”
Then he looked at Li Dongsheng pitifully and said, "Grandpa Li, what to do with these goods?" ”
"Unload it first, the navy still needs to train, and it is impossible to guard these materials all the time." Li Dongsheng said lightly: "The specific handling situation depends on the performance." ”
Hearing Li Dongsheng say this, the people around him knew in their hearts that if they supported the operation of the City Parking Division, they could return it, and if they did the right thing with the Municipal Parking Division, they would consider it again.
All families are looking at the goods on the ship, and they are thinking about the pros and cons of accepting the leadership of the City Shipping Division, the news has been transmitted back to the family, and the elders will discuss it, and decide whether to go to the Municipal Shipping Division to register at that time, but now it is necessary to have a good relationship with Li Dongsheng, whether it is the registered capital or the deposit in the future, it can be discussed.
Li Dongsheng is very annoyed by these kneeling and licking guys, now he knows that Lao Tzu is powerful, but it is too late, he has been busy receiving representatives from Chang'an these days, they came from the center, knowing that the operation of the city is a foregone conclusion, and they all want to come over and get a piece of the pie. Therefore, competition is the best market law, and the Jiangnan Shi clan, who originally wanted to take a look, also began to be nervous when they saw such a dragon crossing the river, and urged the family to speed up the decision.
The pier was slippery under a rain, but it was sunny after the rain and the cool breeze was very comfortable. A large group of people stood respectfully on the dock, watching the huge ship slowly approaching the dock.
Li Dongsheng stood in the first row, followed by officials at all levels of the Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, Qiu Xinggong did not come, he has been dismissed from his post and returned to Beijing to report on his work, and today everyone is here to welcome the new Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor Cheng to bite the gold.
Li Dongsheng, who received this appointment, did not expect that Cheng Yanjin would come to Guangzhou to be the governor of the capital, this is the legendary high position and low match? When did Li Shimin treat himself so well, he didn't have a top boss who made him stumble, and this kind of treatment made Li Dongsheng a little unbelievable.
As soon as the ship docked, the dock immediately made a noise of gongs and drums, first Cheng Yanjin's various honor guards got off the boat, then his guards, and finally Cheng Yanjin swaggered down from the ship, regardless of those officials, strode up to Li Dongsheng and patted him on the shoulder: "Haha, we have known each other for so many years, you still give me this set." ”
Li Dongsheng's eyes were resentful, how many years have they met, and they are still like this. He wanted to say that these things were made by your subordinates and had nothing to do with me, so he didn't give him a chance to speak: "Hurry up and find a place to talk first, I heard that you have a lot of ideas about this city, tell me about it." ”
The officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the back and the children of the family who came over to greet them saw that Li Dongsheng had such a good relationship with the new Metropolitan Governor, their eyes narrowed, and they felt Li Shimin's attention to this city. The transfer of Qiu Xinggong, who did not cooperate, to a metropolitan governor who had a particularly good relationship with Li Dongsheng is the best proof of this concern.
Ignoring these guys present, Cheng Yanjin went directly to the inn where he lived with Li Dongsheng. As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Yanjin lay down on the bed regardless of his image: "Alas, my old waist is about to break." I was dizzy on the boat ride. ”
Li Dongsheng made tea, waited for a while to bite the gold before getting up, picked up the teacup and drank it all and said: "When you came, your family gave you a letter, take it!" ”
Li Dongsheng was overjoyed, in this era of unsmooth information, family letters worth 10,000 dollars are the most real. He didn't care about greeting Cheng Biting Jin, so he directly opened the letter and read it first.
Parents are in good health, so don't worry about it. Whether it's a wife or a concubine, the three little babies are thriving, and now they all smile, which is very cute. Li Siwei studied hard with Di Renjie, and they were both well-known in Guozijian, and now many people have already set their sights on them, and many people have found Li Jing and want to get married, this matter is too big, and it is still necessary to ask Li Dongsheng what he means.
Damn, now someone cares about their son's marriage, am I so old? Li Dongsheng didn't expect that he was going to marry a daughter-in-law when he was only in his thirties, and he couldn't accept this. Then look at Pei Xingjian's letter, he reported that Datang Daily is now booming, and it has opened up its reputation in Chang'an and its surroundings, and it is now the mouthpiece of the people, which is very credible. And there is also good news, that is, Zhu'er is pregnant, and Li Dongsheng is going to be an uncle.
After reading the letters, it was already time for a cup of tea, so I put the letters away and thanked Cheng Yanjin. Then the two of them talked about business: "How many merchants have been registered in the city now?" His Majesty is now very concerned, and this time the domestic material transfer in Pinggoguryeo is not small, so he expects this city to be able to subsidize it. ”
"No, the cost of the White Sugar Division and the Tea Division is enough for the use of Ping Goguryeo." Li Dongsheng went with him, of course he knew that he didn't need so much money.
"After Your Majesty came back this time, I don't know if it's because of his age, he basically doesn't ask much about things, and the government affairs are basically handed over to the prince. He spent more time in the harem, and his daily use became luxurious. Cheng Biting Jin twisted his beard and said: "Fortunately, Wei Zheng died, otherwise Your Majesty would have been scolded to death." ”
"Then there are no other ministers to dissuade you?" Li Dongsheng didn't believe it.
"It's useless for others to say it, think about it, Your Majesty is also old, and it's normal to like to enjoy it, and everyone doesn't care much." Cheng Yanjin also seemed to have feelings: "I'm also old, and now I want to leave something for my children so that they don't have to work so hard." When you are older, you have to come out to be an official. Is the money bank you said reliable? ”
Li Dongsheng laughed when he said: "You have to think about your children at your level, what about other people?" Don't worry about the bank, as long as you register, there will be a deposit in, where the money is put and not moved, these money is our working capital, you can lend out, use their money to help us make money, is there a better business in the world than this? ”
"What if I change the city in a few years?" Cheng Yanjin thought farther.
"Do we still care about this margin at that time?" Li Dongsheng said confidently: "Empty gloves white wolf, who cares about those deposits in a few years, return the money to the city, our money has already started to do business." There is a reputation, and those merchants will not change it casually. ”
