Chapter 245 The Stolen Officials Take Office

Entering September, the weather is getting cooler a little bit, and the autumn geese go south to have a desolate taste.

After the new prefect arrived, he learned that the chamber of commerce played a huge role in the promotion of the previous prefect, Gao Mingcheng, and gave the chamber of commerce a very lenient policy.

Unlike Gaomingcheng, this prefect was born as a Jinshi, and he has done Hanlin, and he may have a lot to do in the future.

This kind of person has always had a background and attaches great importance to political achievements and reputation.

The Chamber of Commerce has been facilitated, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to the silver number and the branch of the Chamber of Commerce opened in the surrounding counties of Tingzhou Prefecture, and even Nanjing has a branch of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing is more like an office in later generations, responsible for exchanging business with merchants in Nanjing and various prefectures and counties in Nanzhili, Hui Niang was not personally responsible, and sent Han Wuye to take charge of it.

Han Wuye is a storyteller and can speak well, and Han Wuye is a "own person" who can be trusted, so he can use it with confidence.

The first thing Han Wuye did in the past was to promote his own colorful New Year pictures and medicines, and by the way, he helped the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to publicize.

After the autumn, it is the time to print the color New Year pictures at the end of the year, the printing workshop has to work overtime every day, and make a special trip to the Tingzhou capital to wholesale the color of the New Year's paintings, Jiangnan, Huguang and Sichuan have, and even some prefectures and counties in the north have heard that the New Year's pictures of the Tingzhou Mansion are beautifully printed, and there are merchants who come all the way to purchase, and they will be shipped away 10,000 at a time.

The printing workshop has developed from 20 or 30 people when Ninghua County was originally opened, to more than 300 workers in two factories, three storage and transportation warehouses and eight production workshops in the two places. нéíуапGě intoxicated chapter, festival billion terrier new

Printing color New Year's pictures to the third year, there are a lot of imitations outside, but they are all painted tigers do not become anti-dogs, those poor quality color New Year's pictures are basically not sold in the market.

Although the New Year's picture is a consumable, but each family needs one or two at most a year, plus the price of the genuine New Year's picture itself is not very expensive, but anyone who has a little spare money at home will buy one back and hang it, and the picture is festive.

Shen Xi also fully took into account the market reaction, every year before the printing of the New Year's paintings, he will personally draw new original paintings, in order to achieve the old and bring forth the new every year, the New Year's pictures from the first six kinds, to the third year has developed to as many as 29 kinds, enough for the people to have plenty of choice.

Shen Xi is also constantly improving technology.

After several years of research, the printing technology of color New Year pictures has become more and more mature, and the lines, colors, depictions, and gilts of the printed New Year pictures are beautiful. In addition, some large-scale color paintings with stories similar to comic strips make the category of New Year's pictures more rich and diverse.

Zhou's gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus in the middle of the year, and the printing workshop made money every day, and he was happy all day long, so fast that he couldn't close his mouth.

Hui Niang helped buy the yard, and now it is already being repaired and decorated, and by the end of the year, she will be able to move to a new house, not to mention how happy Zhou is.

As long as there are no customers in the pharmacy, she will pull Xie Yun'er aside and chatter, talk about everything, and teach Xie Yun'er to be a little woman who likes to talk about people's families, Shen Xi found that Xie Yun'er talked a lot more when she got together to eat in the evening.

Xie Yun'er is also a happy event here, in addition to the yard where she lives was given by Hui Niang, her grandfather and father will be released from prison at the end of the year, and she is ready to go to the capital to pick them up and return to their hometown.

That night, Zhou first asked Xiu'er to deliver food to Shen Mingjun, and when Xiu'er came back, Hui Niang didn't see anyone, so he beckoned everyone to sit at the table.

There are many people in the family, in addition to the two families, there are also Xie Yuner and Mrs. Hu, the nurse.

Shen Mingjun is busy with work and usually comes back very late, Zhou's usually takes Shen Xi home after eating, and Lin Dai is no longer allowed to share a bed with Shen Xi after having a menstrual affair, not even a room, and can only go to the second floor of the pharmacy to sleep with Lu Xi'er every day.

“…… I'm preparing these days to make the Chamber of Commerce a provincial capital. ”

Halfway through eating, Hui Niang came back from outside, went upstairs to clean up briefly before going to the back hall to sit down, the first sentence seemed to be said to Zhou and Xie Yun'er, but in fact, it was said to Shen Xi.

No matter what big decisions Hui Niang had before, she would discuss them with Shen Xi in private. This sentence is actually saying to Shen Xi, you come to my room at night.

Xie Yun'er said with a smile: "Sister's heart is too big, and there is no one in Nanjing yet, so she has to do business in the provincial capital." Does my sister think that the money she earns now is not enough? ”

Zhou said: "The silver is not hot, so naturally the more you earn, the better, but ...... The people in the provincial capital are unfamiliar, are they dragging it behind? ”

Hui Niang smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, the new Governor An helped to handle it, and there is no choice for the Chamber of Commerce." Besides, if Xiaolang wins the show, he will have to go to the provincial capital every three years in the future to take the exam, and then someone can help settle and take care of him, isn't it good? ”

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Xi with a look of pity.

Among the two families, it is not Shen Mingjun and his wife who spoil Shen Xi the most, but she, who is also Hui Niang's Thanksgiving Newspaper, treats Shen Xi as her own, and is even better to Shen Xi than Lu Xi'er.

Shen Xi took a bite of rice and muttered, "The surname An is probably not good-hearted, right?" ”

Zhou scolded: "Bastard boy, what are you talking about? Even the prefect dares to scold, and he is impatient? ”

Hui Niang also complained: "Yes, Xiaolang, how can you casually say bad things about An Zhifu?" As soon as he arrived in Tingzhou, he immediately organized people to repair the city wall, and at the same time cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce to help the victims, and he did everything himself, and he has always had a good reputation, I think he is a good official who can make decisions for the people. ”

Shen Xi doesn't argue with the big guys.

To say that Shen Xi is still a little confident in knowing people, the new prefect of Tingzhou Prefecture, An Rusheng, is in his forties, and at first glance he is here to make political achievements, he is more proactive in doing things, and he wants to intervene in everything, plus he didn't bring his family with him, and he had a very unusual look after seeing Hui Niang, which made Shen Xi disgusted when he saw it.

According to the aesthetic standards of the current people, Hui Niang is not extremely beautiful, this An Rusheng should not be Hui Niang's person, but the Chamber of Commerce behind her, in the future, this An Rusheng will use the Chamber of Commerce to grab money and political achievements for him, and the official may be worse than Gao Mingcheng.

In the dead of night, Shen Xi arrived at the back door of the pharmacy in the dark, Hui Niang helped open the door, and the two went upstairs together and entered the room, Hui Niang had already prepared the footwashing water.

Shen Xi glanced at it, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, it seemed that Hui Niang was diligent in business even if she returned home, and she didn't dare to slack off at all, maybe this was also where her spiritual sustenance was.

"It's a little cold, Auntie will go get a pot of hot water again." Hui Niang turned around to go downstairs.

Shen Xi pulled her: "Auntie, I've grown up, I don't have to let you wash your feet every time I come." ”

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi with a smile and said, "Just let my aunt do more things for you, when you grow up, my aunt won't be able to help you do these things anymore." If your mother finds out, she will definitely blame me, and I don't know how to explain it to her. ”

Hui Niang still went downstairs to the kitchen and brought up the warm hot water in the stove cauldron, but Shen Xi insisted on washing it herself.

This time, Hui Niang was not reluctant, when Shen Xi soaked her feet, she showed Shen Xi the detailed development plan of the Chamber of Commerce to the provincial capital Fuzhou. She wrote it herself based on the plan that Shen Xi wrote for her before, and the site selection, manpower, funds, scheduling, etc., were clearly organized.

Shen Xi felt more and more that Hui Niang was shrewd and capable, and she was an out-and-out strong woman. If in a few hundred years, even if she manages a large company with assets of hundreds of millions, she will definitely be an expert.

"What do you think of my aunt's writing? I learned from you, but unfortunately my aunt is not as smart as you and can think about everything in everything. Hui Niang had a smile on her face, no matter what she did before, Shen Xi would arrange it for her in detail, she just needed to implement it according to the detailed plan.

Even if she doesn't have her husband to take care of her, she feels dependent, she likes this feeling of a little woman, after all, she is tired of running around, many things make her physically and mentally exhausted, and when she comes back, someone will give advice and discuss things with her, so that she feels extra relieved.

"Uh......"

Shen Xi carefully studied the plan written by Hui Niang, trying to find out the omissions, in this kind of thing, he can't encourage Hui Niang, once Hui Niang has self-reliance and self-confidence, then Hui Niang may not need him in the future, how can he come over to meet in the middle of the night and get Hui Niang's soft words?

"It's a problem, aunt, I don't know if I'm right......"

It's still easy to find fault with a plan, Shen Xi has a flexible mind, plus Hui Niang has a place where she is not thoughtful, Shen Xi quickly found out a lot of problems, "After all, the Governor of An is our Tingzhou Governor, even if he helps develop the Chamber of Commerce to the provincial capital, how can the government over there contact it?" ”

Hui Niang thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be necessary, we are in Nanjing, don't we have contact with the government?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the capital of the Ten Dynasties, even if the capital has been moved now, it is still the capital of the Ming Dynasty, with six ministries and other institutions, and there are countless dignitaries. As an official in this place, what I want is stability, and the government at all levels will not deliberately ask for money from the Chamber of Commerce, plus we have just set up an 'office' in Nanjing to help contact the merchants, and even the silver account has not yet been operational, how can the government have a psychological will? ”

"The provincial capital is different, the land of Fujian, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, what are the officials coming to ask for the officials? It's either political achievements or money! If we can't satisfy their appetite, they will secretly stumble, and the government wants to deal with the Chamber of Commerce, isn't it easy? ”

Hui Niang nodded, with embarrassment on her face: "That...... So how do you do that? We don't know the officials of the provincial capital. ”

Shen Xi smiled: "We are not familiar with each other, but the Anzhifu is familiar?" The reason why he wants to open the Chamber of Commerce to the provincial capital is actually to take the opportunity to ask for bribes, and at the same time, he can use the name of the Chamber of Commerce to bribe his superiors......"

"Aunt, you just give him the silver and let him help 'dredge', he will definitely accept the silver, greed the ink part, and then take out the part to honor the official. When the chamber of commerce opens to the provincial capital, there will be basically no problem. ”

Hui Niang said with doubts: "The Governor of An's Mansion is an official Qingming, I'm afraid I won't accept it, right?" ”

Shen Xi said with a little confidence: "If my aunt doesn't believe it, then let's see." ”
