The officials have been waiting in the prefect's yamen in the order of the size of the official position, Zhou Qi was in the back hall by the chain to wait for the change of clothes, after half a pillar of incense time, the guards came in first, standing behind the adults, Zhou Qicai came out after a long time, glanced at the front hall, and sat upright on the chair.

All the adults got up and saluted Zhou Qi, "Your Excellency will see the prefect!" ”

"Colleagues, please be seated."

After the adults sat down, they all looked at Zhou Qi, and saw this adult's melon seed face, a pair of danfeng eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, a straight nose, a young and old man, sitting upright, exuding an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, not even like he had just entered the official career.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official has just arrived, and I don't know much about Huizhou, I hope you can work together with this official, go hand in hand through thick and thin, and create a prosperous Huizhou and a stable Huizhou for the people of Huizhou!"

"We will be in the same boat with the adults, and we will carry each other through thick and thin."

"Okay, Lord Yu Nian."

"The lower official is here."

"Do you have any paperwork that you need to see?"

"Adults must be tired on the road, so it's better to rest first......

"It's better for Lord Yu Nian to tell this official about this Huizhou City first."

Yu Nian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and hugged his fist to Zhou Qiyi, "Lord Prefect, we have six counties in Huizhou, namely She County, Yi County, Xiuning, Qimen, Jixi, and Wuyuan, and the government is in Huicheng, She County. We have many lofty mountains and mountains in Huizhou, during which the streams are staggered, and the mountains and rivers are circulating, among which Xiuning County can be described as the real source of Qiantang. The soil of the whole territory contains more sand and gravel, good air permeability, the most suitable for the final value of tea, Huangshan Maofeng, Tunxi green tea, Qimen black tea, Huizhou Gongju are all famous teas. Our counties in Huizhou now have a complete official system, there are no vacancies, and the prefect's yamen has a palace, a history department, a research institute and a prison department, all of which are sent by the adults. Now Hui merchants are all over the world, and the amount of taxes paid for the imperial court the year before last has exceeded that of Jin merchants and has become the world's money bank. In the imperial examination just held this year, there were two Jinshi and two Jinshi. Now the adult has come to my Huizhou as the prefect of Huizhou, which is really the supreme glory of our Huizhou. ”

"Can the spring ploughing be arranged?"

"Back to my lord, plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest 10,000 grains of rice in the autumn, and the whole house naturally does not dare to slack off, and the sowing has been completed."

"What about taxes?"

"Back to my lord, it's just March, and the tax is basically the same as last year.

"How's the prison?"

"My lord, there are 16 retrial cases in the whole government, and there are no major cases, all of them are chicken and dog thieves, there are 124 prisoners in custody, 6 prisoners who are about to be released within a month, and 52 prisoners who are about to be released within a year. My lord, our people in Huizhou have always been simple, and every family lives and works in peace and contentment, please rest assured. ”

"How much property does the treasury have? How much is the deficit? ”

"My lord, the account books are here, please take a look at them."

"Well, very well, put the account books aside. Can Keemun County be available? ”

"The lower official is here." Next to the entrance of the hall, among the officials standing in the back row, walked out, with a chubby figure and a respectful and obedient appearance.

"You came to Huizhou City to welcome this official?"

"Back to the adult, the adult is the head of the government, the adult arrives, and the lower officials come to report the situation of the county from now on, and obey the arrangement of the adult."

"That's right, was your little cui girl willing to obey the official's arrangement yesterday?"

As soon as these words came out, the officials whispered, "This, my lord? The Qimen County Commander was taken aback, he didn't expect Governor Zhou to take a knife on himself, "My lord, the lower official ......"

"The imperial court has clearly decreed that officials are forbidden to prostitute themselves, so it's better for you to come to this Huizhou city to find a girl?"

"My lord, the lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty!" The Qimen County Commander fell to his knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"It's good that you know the crime, Lord Yu Nian, according to the law of my Great Zhou, how to punish officials who prostitute themselves?"

"Oh, Lord Hui, if an official prostitutes, he will be punished with twenty rods and fined two hundred taels of silver, and the first time he will be retained for inspection, and the second time he will be permanently dismissed."

"Okay, let's do as Master Yu says."

After a lecture, everyone knew how powerful Zhou Zhifu was, and they were impressed by this eighteen-year-old champion.

It had been less than a moment, everyone was hungry, and Zhou Qi came to Tongfuyuan to dine according to the arrangement of the rest of the year.

"The adults have been in the dust all the way, it is really hard, the local businessmen voluntarily came to greet the adults, originally Master Lu was also going to perform stunts for the adults, but it really can't be opened here, in order to prevent disturbing the people, Master Lu can only go back first, and please forgive me."

"There is Master Lao Lu, and I would like to thank Lord Yu for arranging it for this official."

"Everyone came voluntarily, our Huizhou has always been kind and wealthy, and the businessmen also have the blessing of the court, the first time the adults came, everyone is naturally willing to give a filial piety, and please don't shirk."

Zhou Qi was in the palace, and he heard a lot of kind words in the officialdom, and he didn't feel anything, so he raised his glass and stood up, "Colleagues, bosses, this official has just arrived, and it is inevitable that he will be offended in the future, I hope everyone understands that this official is dedicated to the public, and it is not to embarrass everyone." Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, I hope that you and I will work together to find a good future and a good business environment for all of you here. Everyone, Zhou did it first. Please! ”

"Your Excellency, please!"

For a while, the cups were staggered, and then the subordinates naturally took turns to toast, but Zhou Qi had a lot of elders in the palace, and the amount of alcohol was good, and the wheel battle was not a problem at all.

Zhou Qi sang the leading role, the officials were the foils, and the businessmen could only deal with their own errands, and the mutual communication between them was important.

"Boss Qian, have the goods been returned to you?"

"I think we'll give it together, what, what's the wind?"

"Hey, your family has a big business, you can still make up for it after deducting your six batches of goods, we are a small family, fortunately we borrowed some goods from the Chen family, otherwise this time it will be enough for me to choke!"

"The Chen family borrowed you for turnover? They have to do business, too. ”

"If you don't say that the old lady is benevolent and righteous, you are also benevolent and righteous, don't you also borrow it like this? I didn't open my mouth to you because I was afraid that your goods would not be able to be turned. ”

"We Hui businessmen have always helped each other, or we can't have a place in the mall."

"Yes, what Brother Qian said is yes!" Chen Qianlang, the boss of Chen Ji, walked over from the table next to him, and the person who was still talking here walked away after saying hello.

"Brother Chen, how is the old lady?"

"It's good, it's a blessing to drag my brother. Brother Qian, this year's imperial court has been enshrined, right? ”

"The tea hasn't been handed in yet, you should know that."

"Brother Qian, this Ming Qian tea is the most precious, every year to determine the quality of Ming Qian tea to determine the palace offerings, we have also prepared this year, the quality is not to say, I specially sent someone to the mountains to open a piece of land, planted for a few years, every year is sold very well. You see, I brought a pack, Brother Qian can taste it when he goes home. ”

"Oh, yes." Qian Wanquan took it, opened the paper bag, pinched one and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, the fragrance of tea overflowed, "Well, good tea!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Qian, do you want to buy some goods from us for this year's offering?"

"We have enough every year, and we don't buy from others."

"Brother Qian didn't say it just now, everyone can help each other to break out of the world, besides, my tea is a treasure."

"Then why doesn't Brother Chen fight for it himself?"

"I don't have much tea, I can't satisfy the big appetite of the capital, I can only cooperate with others and have a chance of winning, Brother Qian, take us?"

"And what good do I get?"

"Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, the Shanxi Zhang family buys goods from you, and sells them to Xiliang at a price of 30%, we have also opened up the sales channel of Xiliang in recent years, I will give you 10% of the price, how about it?"

"Hehehehe, Boss Chen, our Qian family and the Zhang family are world friends, so it's not good!"

"Who is not a world friend? How much do they make from you each year? You don't know, do you? It's just that our Hui businessmen have been doing business in the mainland in recent years, and Xiliang is full of Shanxi people, so they have to give them profits, and now my Chen family has its own sales channels, Brother Qian, it is better to earn money together than to be cheaper than Jin Shang! What do you say? ”

Qian Wanquan nodded imperceptibly, "Okay, I'll definitely think about it when I go back." ”

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

After the two big bosses finished talking, the banquet was dispersed at the right time. The young proprietor of the Chen family has gone home, and the whole house is jubilant.
