Chapter 209: The Visitor

Chang Hongquan came to implement the matter of Concubine Lotus Chang Ling returning to China to save her relatives, and Chang Huaiyin, who came with him by the way, was purely for fun.

Although it was a very serious official business, Chang Hongquan, who wanted to know the current situation of Dongping, did not pose as a prince's guard of honor before arriving in Danyang, but pretended to be a prominent figure in the Chunnan clan. From Yuhang to Danyang, there is already an avenue with sufficient traffic capacity, and the branches extending along the avenue have brought prosperity to the avenue. Before arriving in Danyang, Chang Hongquan didn't see too many changes, at most, the post stations along the way seemed to be more polite and easier to deal with, and those petty officials rarely showed flattery to the wealthy families, and they were rarely arrogant and unreasonable as people in the government. But when they came to Danyang, came to this city that had been separated for several years, and saw the changes in the royal capital of Dongping, both father and daughter were surprised.

Due to the prosperity of Danyang, let a large number of travel and vehicles congestion at the city gate to complete the inspection of the customs documents, collect the city gate tax will greatly reduce the efficiency, now this series of procedures are outside the city gate specially set up the city customs division, and then the travel and vehicles can directly pass through the city gate with the city customs documents, enter Danyang. When dealing with a large number of clerical procedures, everyone knows how much sincerity the words "welcome to Danyang" in the mouths of those small officials are, but replacing the original scolding and scolding with such greetings must be a lot of heartwarming. Here in the Chengguan Division, those relatively large inns, houses, and hotels in Danyang have people or vehicles waiting for them, so that those who are not very familiar with Danyang can settle down as soon as possible and avoid the trouble of going back and forth. After a little inquiry, I learned that to be able to set up such a reception station in the Chengguan Division, it was necessary to pay a considerable "management fee" to the Chengguan Division. And these hostels that are qualified to set up reception stations basically have a fairly good reputation, and the situation of cutting customers and the like rarely happens.

Also because of prosperity, in order to facilitate merchants to trade. Danyang even gave birth to a special trade. Merchants entering Danyang can store their goods in this warehouse called Tian'an Property, while they can take their luggage and live in a much better hostel, so they don't have to pay attention to the safety of their goods at all times. For businessmen who carry a small amount of goods, or for large businessmen who have their own warehousing and logistics system, the services provided by Cheonan Property are more than one. But for the middle-class businessmen who are not embarrassed or embarrassed in the middle, the service provided by Tianan Property can be said to be extremely intimate. Merchants can sell their goods with samples, and buyers only need to bring access vouchers. Transaction records and tax payment records can be picked up at Cheonan Property. With the gradual familiarity of businessmen from all over the world with Tian'an property, there have been several times when the goods have changed hands many times, and the price has doubled or even more in the hands, and finally the person who came to pick up the goods was holding a thick stack of transaction and tax payment records and a certificate that changed hands I don't know how many times to pick up the goods.

As some local traders found it more profitable to streamline their organizations and focus on their core business, they simply laid off the workers in their own businesses who were responsible for handling goods, sold the warehouses used to stack goods, and handed over all the warehousing work to Cheonan Property, and those merchants with shops in Danyang repeatedly became the last overall sales target for foreign merchants' goods. Another logistics company has been born: intra-city express delivery. The business of intra-city express delivery was based on the intra-city transportation of this kind of bulk goods at the earliest, which is really a thing that makes people have black lines, but this first intra-city express delivery company still has a name "SF Express" that makes Ye Tao and Tan Weixin snicker.

Tianan Property and SF Express are just two businesses with a very small business scope. But when Chang Hongquan was half joking and half testing, he stored all the rice paper, silk, lacquerware, dried fruit and other things that they brought with them as gifts into the warehouse of Tian'an Property. Naturally, Chang Hongquan asked in detail how to store it, how to calculate the cost of warehousing, and how to pick up the goods in batches according to the needs. If you find SF Express for delivery, how to calculate the cost and so on...... And when he got a detailed reply in a short time, not only the storage fee and the procedures for batch storage and withdrawal, but also the fact that after the goods were reduced, Cheonan Property would consult him and sort out his goods to make room. It not only reduces the inventory cost of Changhong Quandi, but also allows Tianan Property to have more space to serve other customers. The process of tidying up the land can be carried out by Chang Hongquan himself or by sending someone to supervise it, and Tian'an Property has detailed compensation clauses for the defiling and damage caused by the improper operation of the owner of Tian'an Property in the process of sorting out or picking up the goods at ordinary times. Such a detailed and rigorous reply really surprised Chang Hongquan, I am afraid that the warehouse management of many armies in Chunnan is not as rigorous and standardized as Tian'an Property. The delivery of materials by the Chunnan military is much worse than what SF Express can do......

Naturally, Chang Hongquan would not have any reaction to the name SF Express, unless he himself had crossed over. But he finally knows a little about the situation in Dongping, and he knows what this Tian'an Property and SF Express are probably made by the very talented Princess Tan Weixin or the equally whimsical Ye Tao. Naturally, regarding the appointment of Ye Tao as the envoy of Yunzhou, he was not like those officials in Chunnan who thought that it was cronyism. When he learned that Ye Tao married Tan Weixin and was subsequently appointed as the envoy of Yunzhou, Chang Hongquan often thought about it. What kind of tricks can this couple come up with? For Chunnam. Even the knowledge of the territory of the Eastern Plains as an ally is not enough, let alone Yunzhou, which is more distant and more alienated from Chunnan.

"Huaiyin. Don't you want to go see your best friend? Princess Embroidery is now in Yunzhou, do you want to go and see it? After Chang Hongquan met with Concubine Lian Chang Ling and met with Tan Xiaopei, the lord of Dongping, he asked.

Chang Huaiyin turned his head to look at Chang Hongquan and said, "Father, why are you willing to let me go to Yunzhou?" …… Can we stay in Dongping for a long time? It's been at least three months, right? ”

Chang Hongquan pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You just go and play with Princess Embroidery." The scenery of Yunzhou is beautiful, with endless plains and grasslands, which can not be seen in Chunnan. If you want to go to the Wolf Plain, go ahead. If you want to come to talk about it, Miss Tan will definitely receive you warmly, and the Dai family and Ye Tao in Yunzhou will definitely treat you well. …… As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Chang Huaiyin frowned, and immediately understood. She herself can naturally have fun, but those attendants, some of them are from various departments of the Chunnan Imperial Court, and some are trusted people in the palace of Chang Hongquan, the king of Juxian, they will become Chang Hongquan's eyes to observe the various changes that have taken place in Yunzhou.

Chang Huaiyin naturally wouldn't be angry about this kind of thing, she was naturally naïve back then, but after all, she grew up in a country where the wrestling between the government and the opposition was much more complicated than Dongping, and she grew up in that environment and was exposed to all kinds of things, and she also had her own growth. Chang Hongquan worked hard to ensure that she did not get involved in the complicated and difficult struggle, and she naturally could not stop Chang Hongquan's various actions that had actually been directly or indirectly protecting her.

Chang Huaiyin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then can Ah Jin go with me?" Can you take Yue'er and Xuan'er with you? ”

Chang Huaiyin refers to Ah Jin is her husband Sun Jin, in the past, Sun Jin was a very ordinary scholar, teaching the children of the clan in the clan science set up by the Juxian Palace, among which there are naturally children of the royal family with a very high status, needless to say that it is very difficult to serve, but when Chang Hongquan found that Sun Jin actually had a very high attendance rate when he was teaching, he couldn't help but pay a little attention to this young man from a low background, and he didn't seem to have any performance in the complex and arduous imperial examination system in Chunnan. Then I noticed this interesting character who was able to enjoy himself for a very small fee. Sun Jin was able to tell the extremely boring classics and history in a simple and clear way, full of passion, he had a good hand, his painting skills were very exquisite, and he even played a good flute...... When Chang Hongquan selected Sun Jin into his study to become his staff, many children in the clan actually came to him to protest with the adults in the family, which really made him cry and laugh. And even if Sun Jin became a staff member of the Juxian Palace, which others greatly envied, he still looked unhurried, and seemed to be far more interested in Chang Hongquan's huge collection of books and calligraphy and paintings than in giving advice to Chang Hongquan. Chang Hongquan's other aides were too lazy to exclude him, but Chang Hongquan admired this maverick guy very much. And when he found out a few years ago that his daughter Chang Huaiyin often went to "ask" Sun Jin some questions that obviously did not need to be consulted, he moved this thought...... He ignored the many families in Chunnan who courted for their children, and chose this poor boy alone, so that this guy who couldn't get a dowry at all married Chang Huaiyin. Chang Hongquan's reason is very simple, his sons are indeed married to the family, it doesn't matter, anyway, the marriage is not harmonious, there are concubines and many ...... Other solutions, but for a woman, whether the marriage is happy or not is something that cannot be solved by conventional means. And Chang Hongquan gave up the opportunity to make a strong reinforcement and chose to maintain the status quo instead of strengthening his influence in the government and the opposition, but it really made people who were afraid of him breathe a sigh of relief. And he stayed away from the Chunnan court and took the initiative to ask to contact Concubine Lian's relatives, and he had to leave for a long time at once, which fully showed that he had no intention of controlling the Chunnan court...... However, he is Chang Hongquan after all, and the research that should be done still has to be done.

And Yue'er and Xuan'er are the two children of Sun Jin and Chang Huaiyin...... After all, that's how things have changed after many years. For Tan Weiying, who is as big as himself, not only is he not married now, but he doesn't even have any quasi-news, Chang Huaiyin doesn't mention how strange it is.

Regarding Chang Huaiyin's question, Chang Hongquan simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just go together, by the way." You'll be in time to give a gift to Ye Jinglu and Dai Dujun's wedding. ”
