"It's changing with each passing day, changing dramatically with each passing day."

Zheng Zhou, the former ambassador of Yizhou Taoshan Grain Terrace, who had just arrived in Xuzhou, was also sighing, sending away his followers, and wandering around the streets alone, looking at the market along the street.

Under the shade of straight rows of peach, plum and apricot trees, among the bustling flow of people, the Cantonese style arcade, the rain eaves flying corners of the Jiangnan charm, the carved bamboo and wood side railings of Yizhou characteristics, the granite columns of the Andong shape, and the local lacquer arches of Huaibei and the hollow window pavilions of the northern flavor are staggered and hidden in the green belt of the flower gardens in full bloom.

It is said that this is Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and now it should be called something that is mandatory by the city patrol division in Guiyuan Mansion; However, if there is a storefront along the street more than 50 feet wide, it is necessary to plan and reserve the corresponding green land in front of the door to plant the corresponding flowers and plants.

With the pacification of Yizhou and the gradual decline of its importance as a transit point between the north and the south, he also worked as a cold bench in other places for several years.

The so-called ambassadors of Liangtai are certainly in the local glory, and it is not an exaggeration to claim to have mastered many local resources and economic lifelines. But how can it be more likely than going directly to the center of Huaizhen, and trying to get closer to the core of power?

What's more, with the rebellion of the prince of Chenghai, the Huai army was completely pacified like a thunderbolt and took over the management responsibilities of Yizhou; In front of the several heavyweights who stayed behind in the yamen after the newly established Yizhou Clean-up, his identity and authority as the ambassador of the grain station who was originally responsible for transporting military supplies and raising places for procurement inevitably became a little embarrassing and overlapped, and people were a little confused.

Because the largest and most powerful Yuwen Domain in the local area has actually become the property under the indirect remote control of Huaizhen, and under the naval and land military deterrence where Huaizhen is stationed, the other princes and vassal families are careful to serve and meet most of the needs of this Huaizhen;

In addition, the two large ports in the east and west of Yizhou have become one of the core stations of the Nanyang Naval Division after the expansion of Huaizhen, and there is no longer a presence that can challenge and confront the coastal sea of the southeast provinces, and the corresponding demand for goods and smuggling is naturally basically extinct.

The role and value he can play in office will naturally diminish day by day and will inevitably be marginalized; In fact, most of the time, he had little to do other than regularly organize and check the supplies of the ships and regiments destined for Jiaozhou, Huaidong;

Although he is still well paid and has a lot of wealth, he is also very sleepy and depressed and indulged in alcoholism for a long time.

However, fortunately, with the launch of a new round of internal rectification in Huaizhen, as well as the adjustment, transfer and promotion of the lack of manpower in relevant departments; As one of the many expatriate responsibilities, he finally waited for his long-awaited order to be summoned and reappointed.

This also means that the events of those years have finally passed, and the price paid for one's temporary vacillation and negligence can be stopped and a new life course can be started again.

While thinking about the past with a lot of emotion, he found a random seat on a roadside stall selling breakfast and sat down. This is a stall selling hot chicken fat porridge and fertile rice, and there are already many figures crowded on the small sitting tables set up along the street.

The so-called chicken fat porridge is a porridge soup made by washing and chopping the remaining pieces of chicken after slaughtering, stir-frying them in oil, and then adding water and rice;

On the other hand, Wohan is a hybrid variant of Lingwai Cantonese rice bowl and Chazuke handed down from Fuso, which is eaten with leftovers sold out in one day, mixed with heavy seasoning, and then scooped a spoonful of Wo on top of steamed brown rice, and enjoyed with the soup and the sunk bottom and rice.

Therefore, in fact, it does not cost much, but it seems to be more than frugal, only twelve small coppers can be enjoyed with meat and vegetables, and it is also the place where those people at the bottom of the market who do a day are most fond of getting together.

He ordered a small portion of chicken fat porridge and sour soup and rice, and after he asked for a plate of black sauce and radish seedlings, a figure came over and sat beside him.

"You're too slow to come."

"No way, the light has been blocked on the street several times."

"There are so many people in this city."

Today, it was he who made an appointment here to meet his rival, Contrinoa Jr., alias Fat Kong and Chinese name Yuwen Christ.

"You remember my tastes."

The other party had already sat down unceremoniously, pulled the sour wohan in front of him, and the snoring and snoring was eating happily, he looked much thinner, and sitting in a cloth coat among a group of low-class peddlers and pawns, he didn't necessarily have the slightest eye-catching.

This is obviously one of the people who have benefited from this internal purge in Huaizhen. As an outsider who came to defect with a human ship for thousands of miles, he also had a corresponding screening and observation period; This time, because of the marriage of the princess and daughter of the dynasty, those little housewives from the Yuwen family also began to plan ahead of the rainy day, and showed the attitude of beginning to promote him, the new distant uncle.

Therefore, no matter how openly and secretly they fought and feared each other when they were on Yizhou Island, or whether they were able to sit together and drink and call prostitutes in private because of sympathy for each other, it has now become a thing of the past; This may be the last chance for them to meet in private and be open and honest before they go to work.

"Speaking of which, Master Zhou, has you decided where to go this time?"

After eating most of the bowl of fertile rice together, Fei Kong touched his mouth and said

"It has been determined, it is Mincao's belonging."

Zheng Zhou took a big sip of chicken fat porridge, and was slightly frowned by the fishy smell

"It's actually Mincao, not the Shipping Division? Shang Shi Bureau, or Hai Cao Division?。。 ”

Fei Kong was slightly surprised, and he was actually appointed as one of the few big cao among the eight elements and forty-seven cao in the Houfu. Then he thought of something again and couldn't help laughing. The other party is from a family of human traffickers, so there is nothing wrong with being used here.

"It's not going to be Mincao's Discipline and Management Division."

"Well, that's barely your old job."

"With your current rank, you should at least be the rank of deputy director."

"Who knows. But it's better to accept your good words. ”

Zheng Zhou took a few mouthfuls helplessly, then put down the bowl a little reluctantly, picked the miscellaneous pieces aside and asked,

"And where are you going?"

"It doesn't seem to be an official yamen, but a general affairs department outside the yamen."

Fat Kong replied with some uncertainty as he took a sip of the sour rice soup.

"The specific position has not yet been decided. The rank is much lower than yours."

"Really... Is.. ”

Zheng Zhou couldn't help but grab a mouthful of porridge water, and showed an expression full of envy and jealousy.

"I don't know what to say about you."

"That's where you're directly responsible for the inner house and supervised."

"You're going to have a lot of use for recovering from it."

。。。。。。。。。。。

And in the Luo garden, which has been completely renovated again, all kinds of labor

I was also squatting with my head in my arms, enjoying the benefits of the soft body and the sharp corners of the little lotus, while checking the names of the newly submitted gift lists, and listening to the numbers she counted.

In order to show respect and congratulations to the lord of Huaizhen who is about to get married in the near future, all the forces around Huaizhen have also expressed their positions and reacted.

For example, the local princes of Yizhou, led by the Yuwen Domain, who are now under the protection of Huaizhen, the dozens of princes in the southeast corner of Andong, or the dozen or so newly transferred and relocated feudal forces west of Tieling, and the local princes and forces from the Silla Domain (Xinghai Dongdao) who need to rely on their snorts or ask for help, all sent messengers who crossed the sea as soon as they heard the news, and presented their own local products and gifts according to the size of their holdings and the degree of distance between them.

For example, in Jeolla Province, the vassal forces led by the Kim family and the Bae family also sent dozens of well-trained maids to fill the door and listen to the walking clouds.

Then there were several congratulatory envoys from the east and west of the northern and southern camps of Fusang, and even Zhang Bangchang, who was defeated and retreated from the Hebei side, sent a boatload of miscellaneous congratulatory gifts, including the palace utensils of the Northern Dynasty, in the name of friendly troops and close neighbors; And Liu Shuneng, the old marshal in the Jinghu area in the upper reaches of the Huaishui, also sent me hundreds of high-grade Shu brocade and more than 20 craftsmen.

But what is surprising is that the old acquaintance who retreated to Lantian Pass, Gao Pet also sent people to accompany him, and also brought a large amount of property rights worth more than 100,000 yuan as a deposit, hoping to obtain ready-made weapons and equipment from Huaidi, even if it was old goods.

Of course, most of these congratulatory gifts and offerings eventually went into the public treasury, as reserve materials and funds for the development of Huaizhen, only some of them were more troublesome and difficult to realize, and then after careful selection and classification, after a little processing and refurbishment, erased some outdated memories and characteristics, before being classified into the southward to send employment.

After all, even if the dynasty takes the initiative to give marriage, I have to come up with a dowry and outfit of the same specifications and value as the dowry companion in order to ensure the most basic pomp and face; And this large amount of money is undoubtedly a big burden and an additional gap for Huaizhen's financial situation that has not been improving for a long time. After all, I have a lot of things to catch through the war, but in order to deal with the aftermath and consolidate the new chassis, I need to pay more in the future.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best result to be able to find a way to save a little bit in the corresponding procurement and purchase office, and to deal with the past with what is now achieved; For example, the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, porcelain, and bells that are temporarily difficult to realize in the treasury are gathered in pairs and then crowned with corresponding names and greetings, and sent to the south to prepare first.

In addition, this time, before the mysterious creature took most of the women in the family to the beach to spend the summer vacation under the banner of being too noisy in the garden, it still left me a suggestion that was not a suggestion, that is, to privately borrow money from many large and small businesses and peripheral households in the sphere of influence in his personal name;

However, in the name of Anton's reconstruction project, with subsequent equity and resource output as guarantees, at least three tranches of bonds have been issued under the rule of Huaizhen through Huiyuan's outlets and channels, and the corresponding credit and delicate expectations have been consumed a lot.

Thinking of this, I asked

"Mi'er, what does Luo Luo's specific statute say there?"

"Don't set up a name for donations."

Holding his head and squatting delicately in my knees, he straightened up, and said with a slightly red face.

"It's not a bond, it's a fund with dividend income."

"Oh."

I was slightly surprised, but I remembered the tricks of financial speculation and fraud in later generations, could these ancients also enjoy it in advance?

"And what should be used here for warranty?"

"Just use the prospect of the noble lady to marry as collateral."

She writhed vigorously in my arms again, humming and making people more and more pleasant.

"Sister Ah Luo said, although you forbid the soldiers and civilians under the rule of Huai Town to gather together to give you gifts."

"But when the time comes, this kind of roundabout means will still be indispensable."

"So let's just make a regular dividend project and let them subscribe spontaneously."

"Moreover, it can also be in the form of detailed subcontracting and bidding for purchases, and those who subscribe more than a certain amount will be given part of the feedback first."

"Under the interaction of such comings and goings, it can also be advertised as a means of welfare for the military and civilians."

"Yu Huaizhen's reputation has not been damaged much, but its interests have been more closely tied."

"We can further select which ones are worthy of continued support and collaboration."

Well, I exhaled heavily and sighed, I really deserve to be a senior white-collar worker from human resource management in multinational enterprises.
