Wan Youqing and the seven didn't leave, and waited until Li Chuan settled down before talking about some of Jin Weishan's situation.

"Jin Shanwei's military attachés were originally all hereditary, and the same is true for Wei Commander's Command."

Wan Youqing said: "However, during the Wanli period, there was a commander who committed a crime and was exiled, and the Jinshan commander went to the imperial system and was appointed by the imperial court instead, while the remaining two Tongzhi and Servant are still hereditary military attachés. ”

Li Chuan asked, "Who are those people?" ”

Another businessman, Kou Mengjie, said: "The background of these secular guards is not copied, and those who really have the ability to rise will be transferred away early, and they will not guard that little field to squeeze oil and water on the military households." That Shi Jian heard that he had an old relationship with Cao Ning, the chief soldier of Wusong, Cui Long often had contacts with Lord Zheng Liangqing of Su Song's military garrison, and Jiao Zhiming, the commander of the army, had a younger sister who was the concubine of Lord Liu, the deputy envoy of the military garrison. ”

Li Chuan smashed his mouth and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, they all have a background!" ”

Wan Youqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, everyone in the world is profit-seeking, even if these guards occupy the property of the military households, how much output can they have in a year, we will promise a lot of profits according to the instructions of the adults, and they are all willing to attach their wings." ”

Li Chuan said: "Tell me in detail." ”

Wan Youqing had to come one by one: "The seven of us are going to set up a business house in partnership, Shi Jian, Cui Long, Jiao Zhiming and the five thousand households are willing to use gold and silver, and Shi Jian and Cui Long each want to get a share of 100,000 taels." ”

"I can come up with 100,000 silver, these people are richer than I thought!"

Li Chuan smashed his mouth, indeed a little surprised that these guards could come up with so much silver.

Wan Youqing said: "In addition to the land under their names, several adults also have a business to make a living, but they are not big, far less than those wealthy businessmen and Jiangnan clans, we have Western goods given by adults, and Shi Jian and others are willing to join in." ”

Li Chuan asked, "Did you agree?" ”

Wan Youqing said: "It's still dragging, just waiting for the adults to set the priest." ”

Li Chuan nodded and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, you guys deal with them first, and wait until I understand the specific situation of Jin Weishan first, if you want silver, you have to take out what I need, otherwise why give them the silver for nothing." ”

The seven of Wan Youqing all nodded, with some faint expectation in their hearts.

It's hard to fatten when eaten alone, but it's even more delicious.

If they can control the right to sell all Western goods, they will become a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan in a few years, so they are willing to come to Jinweishan in advance to give Li Chuan the lead, but the cake painted by Li Chuan is too tempting.

The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and nothing more.

After talking about Jin Weishan's big and small things for a while, Wang Guihua came over to invite Li Chuan to dinner.

"Let's go!"

Li Chuan greeted Wan Youqing and the others, and just said while eating.

The seven of them were not good at eating, so they all found excuses to leave.

Li Chuan didn't force it, and after sending it out of the hall, he went to call Su Xiaomei.

Su Xiaomei lives in a courtyard with him, and lives in the east wing.

Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly said, "Young Master, Miss Su is helping at Sister-in-law Osmanthus." ”

Li Chuan shook his head and went to the courtyard next to him.

The mansion had already been cleaned up, and the utensils and bedding were all brand new, and they could be moved in empty-handed, so after the family brought in some of the ingredients brought in by the boat, Wang Guihua immediately started the fire and prepared the meal neatly.

People have to have a sense of existence, no matter what they do, they don't lack motivation.

Wang Guihua is in this state, food and clothing are worry-free, life is stable, the young master treats his family well, and usually rewards a lot of money, and he thinks about how to serve the young master well, and he is never lazy in studying cooking skills.

At mealtime, there were six or seven people at the table.

Li Chuan sat on the main seat, Su Xiaomei sat beside him, and the maid Ping'er sat on Su Xiaomei's side.

Li Man and Su Liang sat on both sides, and they didn't talk much, even Li Man, who had long been used to eating at the same table with the young master and talking and laughing, were also eating with their heads covered and rarely spoke, and their anger was inevitably a little dull.

The maid Ping'er was very busy, busy serving the young lady.

Su Xiaomei was embarrassed and whispered a few words to her, and the little girl stopped a little.

Li Chuan was a little unaccustomed to it, so he said while eating: "I usually have a lot of things, and I can't worry about the affairs in the house, and the things in the house will be looked at by the little sister in the future, Li Man and Sister-in-law Osmanthus are old people, so I want to help the little sister more." ”

"Yes, young master!"

The two of them should be busy, and they both know it.

Since the young master asked Miss Su to take care of the affairs of the house, then Su Xiaomei is the mistress of the house.

The only situation is that it is one name short.

But in such a situation as the young master and Miss Su, how can they be justified?

Li Man and Wang Guihua are both worried about their young master, they don't reject Su Xiaomei, the key is that the young master and Miss Su live together so inexplicably, it is inevitable that they will be discussed, and it is really not a thing!

Su Xiaomei didn't say anything, a little uncomfortable.

Without righteousness, some things cannot be done justifiably.

Only then did Su Xiaomei feel how much pressure she needed to bear to break out of her home and follow Li Chuan to Songjiang.

Even though a servant of the Li family doesn't treat her as an outsider, the rules of the world will still press on her.

Li Chuan had no choice but to rely on her to get used to it slowly. It's just that after everything stops, we have to make up for a wedding as soon as possible, and marry Su Xiaomei justifiably, so that Su Xiaomei will no longer have pressure to take care of the affairs of the inner house.

The next day, Li Chuan began to socialize.

Being an official is a university question, and it is not as simple as simply performing duties on the surface. Even if he is the number one leader, after taking office, the new official must first understand the situation, be familiar with the post and working environment, figure out the intricate relationships, and slowly grasp the power in his hands, so that he can govern according to his own ideas and carry out his intentions.

If you give orders as soon as you come up, you are not being an official, but looking for abuse.

As for the process of getting familiar with the environment and sorting out personnel relations, the only way to do it is to socialize, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

The two commanders know the same thing, one is in charge of affairs, five thousand households, everyone has a very tacit understanding, according to the official position, take turns to invite Li Chuan to the banquet, Li Chuan is not in a hurry, go to eat from house to house, and after a few days of entertainment.

Lu Congliang also joined in the excitement and took the initiative to invite Li Chuan to his home for a banquet.

It stands to reason that Lu Congliang, a petty official of the seventh grade, is equivalent to the role of a secretary in later generations, and he is not qualified to invite Li Chuan, the number one, to dinner alone, but Lu Congliang still invited, this is a statement, as long as you have a little political wisdom, you can understand.

For the first subordinate who took the initiative to come over, Li Chuan would naturally give him face, so he took his family and went happily.

Experience is the seventh quality of the experience, which is responsible for the clerical management, similar to the secretary general or the chief of staff in later generations.

Although the rank is not high, history is the first official in the civil service of the guard.

Lu Congliang's home is also in the city, and it is a courtyard covering an area of about three acres.

It's not big, but it's not small, and it's exquisitely arranged.

After being full of wine and food, Lu Congliang waved off his subordinates......
