Chapter 142: Receiving a gift and receiving a cramp in the hand
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. [com] After coming out of the Chamber of Commerce Hall, Wu Zhi did not go home directly, but swaggered and walked into the printing house openly. γFor more exciting, please visitγ
Since the newspaper became popular, I don't know how many eyeliners were watching there at the entrance of the printing house, and at this time, Wu Zhi was not hindered when he entered the gate of the printing house, which made those "eyeliner" jaws drop in surprise.
Because they know that the guards guarding the door at the gate of the printing house are extremely strict, no matter who comes, they must be carefully checked, and only after the consent of the golden shopkeeper inside can they enter it, after all, the printing equipment inside is confidential, and it is reasonable to be heavily guarded.
But when they clearly saw Wu Zhi enter, not only did the fierce guards not stop them in the slightest, but even their expressions were a little respectful, which made them have strong doubts and bold guesses about Wu Zhi's identity, could it be that Wu Zhi was the boss behind the newspaper?
After getting this information, the eyeliners immediately sent someone to report the news to the bosses behind them as soon as possible, so as to ask for credit.
Of course, those bosses already knew that Wu Zhi was the boss behind the newspaper, and the reports of the eyeliners only confirmed Wu Zhi's identity and let them know where Wu Zhi was now.
Wu Zhi was sitting in the living room of the printing field at this time, leisurely sipping tea, and Jin Dajian was carefully waiting on the side.
There are several gift boxes on the floor of the living room, which are some gold and silver property, all of which are all kinds of bribes that Jin Dajian has received in the past three days since the newspaper was issued, including the box of property sent by Liu An yesterday.
Wu Zhi's salary level for Jin Dajian is higher than that of the prefect, which is enough for him to live very wealthy, and Jin Dajian is simple by nature, so he naturally will not accept bribes, these are what Wu Zhi has already informed him, and anyone who comes to give gifts should accept it, this is all white silver, why not accept it?
Those who give gifts are all here to stammer, not to ask for anything, and it doesn't hurt to accept them casually, in fact, Wu Zhi is even more greedy than Murong Yanda, but it is not illegal for businessmen to accept bribes in this era...... And the official is different.
"Great official, why are you piling all these belongings on the ground?" Jin Dajian asked, after Wu Zhi came, he took out all the property he had collected in the past few days, and when Wu Zhi saw it, he directly asked him to put the property directly on the ground.
"Anyway, it's going to be piled on the ground sooner or later, so it's better to empty the table in advance and put the teacups." Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously, the table in this living room is not big, and if you put these gift boxes, it will be full, Wu Zhi guessed that there would definitely be people coming to give gifts for a while, so he simply piled these on the ground.
Although Jin Dajian still didn't know what to do, he didn't continue to ask, in front of Wu Zhi, he always felt that he was a child who didn't understand anything, and it was better to feel at ease if he didn't speak.
Sure enough, Wu Zhi didn't sit in the hall for long, and many famous businessmen in Qingzhou City came to visit with gift boxes. It's just that these people all have smiles on their faces that are more ugly than crying, and they are all chattering and explaining bitterly after seeing Wu Zhi.
And although Wu Zhi promised to let them in to meet them, his face was always cold, no matter how those merchants explained and flattered, Wu Zhi just sat tall and did not even look at them, let alone talk to them, and did not pay attention to them at all.
Joke, just now in the guild hall, these businessmen piled up Wu Zhi's ruthless and disdainful face, but Wu Zhi still remembered it, if they didn't give them a little face, wouldn't they think that Wu Zhi was a temperless person, Wu Zhi usually has no temper, but once he started his temper, he ...... can only be pleased by using beauty tricks.
But those businessmen didn't know that Wu Zhi liked the little hobby of beautiful women, Wu Zhi was a businessman, and they could only prepare gold and silver as gifts to curry favor with Wu Zhi in a hurry, but seeing that Wu Zhi had always been cold to them, they were secretly lost in their hearts, so they had to be extremely uneasy to carry the gifts and prepare to leave.
Wu Zhi must not be offended! Try to please a few more times in the future, and it will always work! - The merchants consoled themselves.
"People can go, throw the gifts here!"
This was the first thing Wu Zhi said to the merchants after they were about to leave, and Wu Zhi only said this sentence to every merchant who came to make amends.
Wu Zhi likes beautiful women, but he also likes white flowers!
After hearing Wu Zhi's words, the merchants' faces suddenly turned from worry to joy, and after diligently putting the gifts on the ground in the center of the living room, they bowed down and withdrew with a smile.
Of course they are happy, because Wu Zhi received the gift, which means that they will no longer be held accountable and retaliated against for their previous rudeness, and everyone will still have no gap in the future as members of the same chamber of commerce, maybe they will be able to make friends in the future!
I'm afraid that Wu Zhi won't accept gifts!
Wu Zhi didn't plan not to accept gifts, he wouldn't have trouble with the silver, and besides, the law doesn't blame the public, there are so many businessmen who offended Wu Zhi in the Chamber of Commerce, and Wu Zhi didn't plan to retaliate one by one, as long as they realized their mistakes, came to apologize, and sent some silver by the way, Wu Zhi would not be held accountable!
Of course, Huang Zhi will not let him go no matter what, he will be good-looking soon! and Liu An...... This wall grass, if you have the opportunity to Wu Zhi, you have to take care of him!
For a whole afternoon, Wu Zhi sat in the hall and his buttocks were numb, but in order to wait for those businessmen to make amends and give gifts, Wu Zhi still gritted his teeth and persevered...... It's not tiring just to sit, and the key Wu Zhi has to pretend to have a cold and angry expression, which is really a bit torturous.
In fact, Wu Zhi's heart has long been happy, the gift boxes in the hall have been piled up like a hill, when no one came, Wu Zhi asked Jin Dajian to open a few gift boxes at random and take a look, there are gold and silver jewelry, at least worth a few hundred taels of silver, looking at a lot of white property Wu Zhi laughed is not enough, but he still has to pretend to be a straight face, it is really very tiring!
It's the first time that Wu Zhi has tried this feeling of accepting bribes, I have to say that this feeling is really refreshing, no wonder no matter how heavy the criminal law is, corrupt officials just can't be killed, Wu Zhi is glad that he didn't become an official, otherwise...... is definitely a big corrupt official who everyone scolds.
is more greedy than Murong Yanda......
However, this money Wuzhi is greedy and at ease, he is not a greedy poor people, nor is he greedy for any unclean money, he is greedy for the money earned by businessmen, and the way is clean, and businessmen don't care about this money, let alone hurt nature...... Wu Zhi naturally won't be polite.
In the evening, when Wu Zhi was about to leave, almost all the merchants of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce came over to give gifts, except for Huang Zhi, Liu An, and Wang Gang. Huang Zhi and Liu An don't need to say that Wu Zhi doesn't expect them to apologize themselves, and Wu Zhi won't accept it; Wang Gang naturally didn't have to come over, and he didn't offend Wu Zhi.
Of course, among the businessmen who came to give gifts, there were also peers in the wine and food industry, and Wu Zhi did not receive these people's gifts, they were the main forces in the Chamber of Commerce in the future after Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi naturally sent them away with good words.
When Wu Zhi returned home, Jin Dajian deliberately found three carriages to load those gifts, Wu Zhi drank tea all afternoon, and when he went home, he actually brought back 10,000 taels of silver, which was really a very cool thing, so cool that Wu Zhi held back all the way, and just entered the house and laughed wildly.
The new housekeeper is called Lao Bao, Wu Zhi was specially transferred from Jiang Jing after Jin Lian's accident, Wu Zhi couldn't bear Jin Lian's hard work, Lao Bao was meticulous and shrewd and capable, he had been helping Wu Zhi as a housekeeper for more than a month, and all kinds of affairs in the house were taken care of by him in an orderly manner, and he was much stricter than when Jin Lian was the housekeeper, Wu Zhi was very satisfied with him.
Rao is a very serious and serious person like Lao Bao, and he was shocked when he saw the three carts of gift boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry brought by Wu Zhi, and he was shocked while he still neatly sent someone to count the silver money inside, and put it into the Wufu silver treasury.
Wu Zhi now has a big business, and he is making money every day, so he naturally built an ironclad silver vault at home, and the gold and silver in it are piled up!
ββββ
Hua Xiaomei has been living in Wuzhi Mansion for a few days, and in the past few days, the Wufu has treated her as a family member, and she is accompanied by Sanniang and others, and she is happy to live here.
What surprised Wu Zhi was that the reason why Hua Xiaomei came to Qingzhou was really invited by Wu Song, and the reason was not a high-sounding official matter, but Wu Song said to Hua Xiaomei when he was leaving: My sister-in-law's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, please go to Qingzhou to taste it, my eldest brother and several sisters-in-law must be very happy for you to be a guest.
β¦β¦ Wu Song's progress is so fast, he actually knows how to use Jinlian's food to make girls......
Jin Lian's body has recovered, and in the past few days, she has naturally worked hard to take out all the housekeeping skills to make food for Hua Xiaomei, if it weren't for Hua Xiaomei going out to play in Qingzhou every day, then maybe her slender figure would no longer exist.
Hua Xiaomei went out to play, and it was Wu Song who led the way, Wu Song is now promoted, and he has more free time, so he naturally comes to make an appointment with Hua Xiaomei as soon as he is free...... Although the three light bulbs of Jin Lian Xueer and Sanniang are with Hua Xiaomei every time, as soon as they arrive in a secluded place, the three light bulbs will take the initiative to disappear, leaving some space for Wu Song and Hua Xiaomei, the little lovers.
After Wu Zhi returned to his house with a few carts of belongings from the printing house, Kim Dajian from the printing house hurriedly walked out of the printing house and went straight to the newspaper office not far from the printing house.
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was originally a middle-aged gentleman who taught, named Wu Wen, and because he was also well-known for his uprightness in Qingzhou, Wu Zhi specially invited him to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
"Lao Wu, this is the warrant of the big official, that news, it can be sent tomorrow, and it needs to be on the front page."
As soon as Jin Dajian saw Wu Wen, he handed him a note.
"Is it about Huang Zhi?" Wu Wen took the note and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Okay! It's finally ready to be sent, I'm almost suffocating! β
"Don't be in a hurry, remember, follow the method of the big officials step by step." Jin Dajian pointed to the note and reminded in a low voice.
"Hmmm! Rest assured! This time it makes Huang Zhi's guy look good! β
