Chapter 142: Is There Such a Good Thing in the World?
On the afternoon of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Tang Cheng took a roll of red paper bought from the street to the official room and began to get busy.
In later generations, when Tang Cheng worked in the company, the deepest impression was when he gave out red envelopes before the annual holiday every year. If the red envelope collar is thick, the bottom of the heart will naturally have a good impression of the company and the boss, although this is a small and not small means, but it is very beneficial for the harmonious interpersonal relations within the company and the cohesion of people's hearts, and it is also an effective means to build the company's culture.
Now he is a manager, big and small, and there is absolutely no reason not to use such effective means in later generations.
Cutting, pasting, pretending to fly money, and then writing some auspicious words on the red envelope, fortunately, there are not too many people left in Sitian Cao now, otherwise he will be busy enough.
After all these were done, seeing that the sky was about to disperse, Tang Cheng slowly walked out of the official room.
Because it is officially a holiday tomorrow, the gods on everyone's faces in the yamen are very happy today, and after seeing Tang Cheng come out, everyone's eyes are focused on him, just waiting for Lord Judge to officially announce that this Cao Fengbi is on vacation.
Tang Cheng did not directly announce the holiday as he had done in the previous judgments, but walked to the side of Deng Jiachun's book, the eldest in the middle grade of the official room, and said with a smile: "Brother Deng is the oldest and oldest in this Cao, but he can be conscientious in official affairs, and he can really be a model for this Cao clerk."
Deng Jiachun is an honest man, a typical old scalper-like character, who is like him can rest assured, but at the same time, he is also the most easily ignored. has been in the yamen for decades, and Deng Jiachun has encountered very few encounters like this. Seeing Tang Cheng saluting himself in front of his colleagues, Lao Deng's whole body felt both hot and irritable, "My lord, you ...... you killed me", said in his mouth, and the honest man hurriedly got up to return the salute.
"Brother Deng doesn't have to be like this, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, you have also been busy for a year, this is on behalf of Si Tian Cao to thank you, thank you for your support to Cao Zhong affairs and this department over the past year, this gift, you can bear it", holding down Deng Jiachun, who was about to get up, Tang Cheng smiled and spoke, while taking out a red envelope from his sleeve and putting it in front of him, "Today, we only talk about the year, regardless of dignity." Here is a little meaning, Cao Li thanked Brother Deng's family, without the support of his sister-in-law, it is difficult for Brother Deng to be so dedicated in the Yamen, if the sister-in-law has anything they like, they bought it themselves, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, this is also a little caution expressed by Cao Li."
Deng Jiachun picked up the red envelope, and saw that on the cover was an extremely beautiful eight-point block by Lord Judge:
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, on the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, Tang Cheng, on behalf of the Jinzhou Prefecture Yasi Tian Cao, wishes Brother Deng Jiachun: Happy family and all the best!
If this sentence is just an ordinary superficial article in later generations, no one will feel anything if they read it, but now, it is completely different in this Tang Dynasty.
The first time I started the world, I had a red envelope; The first time to open the world, Shangguan congratulated his subordinates on the New Year; For the first time in the world, Shangguan sent money to the families of his subordinates, and so many first encounters fell on an honest man like Deng Jiachun, who had always been ignored, and the effect was really unexpected by Tang Cheng.
How many decades have he been in the government, how could Deng Jiachun have been so courteous to Shangguan? How could he have been so valued by Shangguan? Looking at the beautiful eight-point block on the cover of the red envelope, in an instant, the taste in Lao Deng's heart was really mixed, inexplicable, and the heat of the whole body surged up, although he did not drink, but his face was as red as if he was drunk, and the hand holding the red envelope was even more trembling, "Big ...... My lord ......", the torrent in his chest rolled, so that the moved old Deng couldn't say a word of thanks, and he was held back to the emotional agitation later, and two tears appeared in the corners of his eyes when he was over fifty years old.
"Brother Deng, we should be happy on Chinese New Year's Eve, and next year Ben Cao and the company will have more to rely on", Deng Jiachun's performance really surprised Tang Cheng, he did not expect that his flash of inspiration would have such a strong effect.
Now Lao Deng didn't open the red envelope, which means that he didn't see the number of flying money in it to make such a move, just those few words, which are ordinary and simple in the future.
It's been a year of such a lack of respect! Hierarchical dignity limits people to death, especially in the yamen, because of the lack of respect between people, it is because of his behavior, which in the eyes of later generations is very common, that it has such a lethal effect.
"Hmm", Lao Deng's heart shook too much at this time, and he was a little unfavorable when he spoke, and after listening to Tang Cheng's words, he just nodded vigorously.
This scene in front of me is really unprecedented, and the other knives and pens in the office room are stunned? Shangguan salutes his subordinates? Shangguan celebrates the New Year with his subordinates? Shangguan expressed his heart to the family members of his subordinates? If it weren't for the fact that this scene was actually playing out in front of my eyes, no one would believe it if they heard it.
Rao was so, they were so shocked that they were still stunned, and for a moment the entire office room was silent.
"Good, good!" , Tang Cheng patted Lao Deng's shoulder and walked down to the next person. First gave a gift, and then gave a red envelope, the remaining seven people of Si Tian Cao all enjoyed the same treatment as Lao Deng, as for their feelings in their hearts, just look at the atmosphere in the office room that was a little dignified because of the emotion.
"Your Excellency...... This ......", Miao Shi, who stood up from his seat suddenly, moved too much, driving the sound of the stool behind him, and everyone looked for the sound, and saw him standing there in amazement, holding a piece of flying money taken out of the red envelope in his hand.
"This is the surplus accumulated by Cao Li, it is both the surplus and the public owned by Cao, everyone has been busy for a year, and it is just right to distribute it", Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hand to Miao Shi, "Every penny of this money is clean, rest assured to put it away." β
Everyone just now because of their complicated thoughts, yes did not immediately open the red envelope, at this time after seeing Miao Shi's actions, they opened the package and took out the flying money, and when they saw the number on it, they were almost dumbfounded.
Thirty times!
For example, Tang Cheng's monthly salary is only four and two, and Deng Jiachun, who has the highest monthly salary among Miao Shi and others, is only five and three, and this red envelope is worth at least half a year, or even seven or eight months' salary.
It's not that these swordsmen haven't seen thirty yuan of money, although this money is a lot, it can't be said to be too big. For Miao Shi and others, one had never encountered such a thing, and the other was that Tang Cheng's shot could be so generous. Although what he said in his mouth was Gongyu, everyone was an old man in the yamen, and who didn't know that the so-called Gongyu was actually the forbidden body of the officials, and these thirty times were equivalent to ...... Tang Cheng is sending them his own money!
There is such a good thing in the world?!
Tang Cheng just looked at everyone's faces, and he already knew what they were thinking in their hearts, moved, good, just to move you!
After the year, as soon as Sun Yuanjun left, Tang Chengcheng had to face the old horse alone, and then the backyard fire would be fatal, and the reason why he had the idea of sending red envelopes today was that he wanted to appease in advance, and the front of the war must be stable. Now it seems that this brilliant red envelope strategy is more than ten times better than he expected it to be.
Gap! This is the gap, if you talk about the means of managers to win people's hearts, the companies in later generations are really much stronger than the yamen of the Tang Dynasty. Now that a random example has such an effect, I wonder if this is considered a hard xìng advantage of the traverser?
After Tang Cheng clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention, he only said simply: "Okay, the business is over, and now the company officially announces - seal the pen and take a holiday!" βγ
To say that this time is just right, it can wait for Tang Cheng to finish speaking, and the bell outside has also been ringing leisurely.
After Tang Cheng smiled and bowed his hand to everyone, he walked out of the office first, and there was still silence behind him, obviously Miao Shi and the others had not woken up from the shock just now.
After leaving the yamen, Tang Cheng went to Feng Haizhou's house again and gave his family a red envelope of the same kind.
Walking out of the Feng family's endless gratitude, Tang Cheng looked at the lively street outside, and let out a long breath between expanding his chest and spreading his arms, dog, this year has been busy like a war, and now he can finally relax for a few days.
The New Year is approaching, the streets are full of people, Tang Cheng, who is completely relaxed in his heart, walks leisurely in the market, and slowly walks home while looking around.
When Tang Cheng, who was chewing dim sum fruit in his mouth, holding a flower lamp in his left hand and a dim sum box in his right hand, returned home, it was dusk.
"Mother, then, this is the senior crisp dim sum I bought for you and my father, I heard that the master came from Xiangzhou, the taste of this dim sum fruit is indeed good", Tang Cheng said as he ate in his mouth, and the dim sum box in his hand had been handed to Tang Zhang, who was busy at the door, "This thing should be eaten while it is hot, mother, you quickly take it in and taste it with your father."
"Master from Xiangzhou, yo, that's far enough! This dim sum fruit is not cheap", after Tang Zhang's took the box, he raised his hand and wiped off the dim sum scum on Tang Cheng's mouth, "All the people who are married, they don't look old at all", after saying this sentence with a pitiful smile, Tang Zhang's took the dim sum box in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and smelled it again, "Well, it's fragrant!" It's just that how old I and your father are, and I still eat this annoying joke. Cheng, you bring it in and put it away in your room, so that you can keep it for the ceremony. Your identity is different now, and the cost of gifts this year is big! βγ
"Oh, my mother, how many times have I told you, my son has made money, made a lot of money, now you two old people can eat whatever they want, just this snack fruit, if you don't get tired, eat every day, eat every meal", Tang Cheng handed the lantern in his hand to Lao Gao on the side, took the box in Tang Zhang's hand and opened it, took out a piece of peach cake from it and stuffed it into Tang Zhang's mouth, "What's the matter, is it delicious?" βγ
"It's delicious", Tang Zhang's face smiled sweetly, "This kid won't be too good at all." Okay, my mother will come by herself, you have to feed it like this again, so that outsiders can't laugh at our family when they see it."
"Lao Gao, this is for you, let your daughters in the house also taste it", there were a total of four packs of dim sum in the box, Tang Cheng took out a bag and threw it to Lao Gao, and then walked inside with Tang Zhang's family, "The son is filial to his mother, who loves to see and laugh with him."
"This kid, and he said it again", although his mouth was disgusted, the joy between Tang Zhang's eyebrows and eyes was about to overflow, "Cheng, you said yesterday that you would have a holiday after going to the yamen today, let it go?" βγ
"Let it go", Tang Cheng agreed heavily.
"Amitabha, Buddha bless, just let it go, Ah Cheng, you should also rest", Tang Zhang took the dim sum fruit handed by Tang Cheng and fed it into his mouth, "Tonight, my mother will give you oil and salt noodles and fish to eat."
The mother and son laughed and went to the inner courtyard, Tang Xuan was lying on the tree at this time to knock the laurel tree in the inner courtyard, Tang Zhang's old man shouted, "The master, the son is back, and he bought us snacks and fruits, which is the craftsmanship of the master of Xiangzhou, but fragrant!" Come down and taste it."
"How old is it, and it's not an nΗi doll, and you still eat this?" After Tang Xuan came down from under the tree, what he said was almost exactly the same as Tang Zhang's just now, "This good thing should be put away and kept for courtesy."
Hearing this, Tang Cheng was completely speechless, he had told them many times in the past few days, his son is now earning money, and if he wants to eat and wear, he will spend it, but they will not hear it, and he is still very thrifty when he should be thrifty.
"Let you eat, don't bend your son's heart."
Tang Cheng handed the dim sum fruit in his hand to Tang Xuan and asked, "Yingjun, they are not here."
"Go to the street to prepare New Year's goods and New Year's gifts", Tang Zhangshi opened an oiled paper bag in the box, carefully counted the number of dim sum fruits in it, and said: "Ah Cheng, you have to tell you about the house, how much is enough for this New Year's goods, I see that I am not old or young now."
"You have a lot of mouths", without waiting for Tang Cheng to speak, Tang Xuan had already taken his mouth first, "Ah Cheng is now in charge of the fields and acres of the whole Golden State!" The identity is different, the family is big, especially this year, don't prepare a little more now, what should I do if I lose face when the time comes? βγ
"Okay, well, count me as a mouth", after Tang Zhang counted the fruits, he laughed happily: "It's just right, this full bag is twenty and has not moved, this bag has eaten seven, and the three of us will eat one more each, that is, there are ten left, and there are thirty of the two together, and the five grandsons are here, and one person is six points", with a smile in her mouth, she has reached out and pulled out two more dim sum fruits and handed them to Tang Cheng and Tang Shuan respectively.
"Mother, is this still something expensive? Since you like to eat, then just eat, and when my sister and they come tomorrow, let's buy it again, one box for one child, two boxes? As he spoke, Tang Cheng grabbed a handful from the snack box and stuffed it into Tang Shu's hand.
"It's enough to try it", Tang Xuan put it back again, and said to Tang Cheng with a straight face: "Cheng, since you have arrived here, and your daughter-in-law is not here, we will just talk about your two sisters."
Tang Cheng has two older sisters, and women in this era don't have a serious name, only the nickname that the family is used to, the eldest sister Orchid, and the second sister Xinghuaer.
When Tang Cheng crossed over, Orchid and Xinghua were already married to women, and the people who married were also farmers in the villages near their hometowns, saying that they were married, but there were too many things in the farmer's house, on the slope, at home, feeding the chickens and cooking, plus the children were pestering, the number of times the sisters on these two titles came back was really small, even if they came back, as farm women, they didn't have anything to say, just silently helped Tang Zhang's work, so that they saw little and lacked communication, Tang Cheng naturally didn't have much impression of these two sisters, and he couldn't talk about much affection.
After mentioning the tea pot to help Tang Zhang's two people pour water, Tang Cheng also sat down, "Well, Dad, if you have anything, just say it."
"Damn, you come on", Tang Xuan opened his mouth, and finally came up with such a sentence.
"You can't say, then it's not your daughter?" After Tang Zhang's white glance at Tang Xuan, he looked at Tang Cheng and said: "Cheng, it's not the partiality of being a father's mother, you have a chance now, and your father and mother are thinking about seeing if you can pull the two sisters together." Your eldest sister has three children, the eldest is a son, not to mention the second daughter and the third daughter, this eldest son and the two of them also have the heart to let him go to school, but this cost ...... As for your second sister, not to mention, her man Chen Huagui is a second bastard, and Xinghua'er is having a hard time now."
Speaking of this, Tang and Zhang's two families were sad.
"Father, mother, don't make it difficult, your son still has something that can't be opened, and if there is any charter, just say it."
"Your eldest brother-in-law, it is Baocheng, you didn't lend us less money when you had a strange illness! This time we came to Qian'er, the two of them went to the house together, and I heard that your sister meant that she wanted Baocheng to go to her daughter-in-law's tung oil shop to learn some economic livelihood, and to let the children go to school.
"Learning to make a living in economics, this is not the same as farming, so I don't know the ...... brother-in-law."
"Your brother-in-law can do it, he is a slippery claw man, his brain is good, his mind is enough, last month his daughter-in-law went back to collect tung oil, we are responsible for Baocheng, the cooking is good, and the price is cheaper than the others. It was after this incident that Bao Cheng gave birth to this heart and thought to learn tung oil to make a living."
"Since that's the case", Tang Cheng pondered and thought about it, then nodded: "Let him go after that year, as for the salary, let's compare it with Mr. Big's example, if he can learn well in the future, the shop will be handed over to him."
That's the largest tung oil shop in Yunxi City, how much salary does Mr. Big have to pay a month? Tang Zhang's family heard Tang Cheng's words, where was there any joy? "That's a good feeling! But this matter, Cheng, you should discuss with your daughter-in-law first, this is his property after all."
"Well, I'll tell her at night, but don't worry, Daddy, I'll just say it", it's not that Tang Cheng is hot-headed for a while, this is actually something he has been thinking about for a long time.
According to the requirements of the times, officials are not allowed to do business, first, the court has requirements, and secondly, businessmen are lowly industries, and it is really not good to want to directly meddle in this matter in the officialdom. Although Yunxi's tung oil shop is Li Yingjun's industry, now that the two have become married, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this shop is surnamed Tang.
Tang Cheng is still a foreign official, not an official, so he can barely be vague in the past, but it is not a matter to be vague like this, and now that Baocheng is here, and try him for a period of time, if the person is really reliable, you might as well transfer the name, so it is also a good way to deal with this matter.
After saying this, it is natural to talk about the second sister Xinghuaer, she is really a hard-working person, married a man Chen Huagui is a second bastard, there is no bitterness in the field, and he likes to gamble, such a person is a pure waste person in the countryside, when it comes to him, Tang Zhang's face is resentful, and he constantly complains about Tang Xuan.
"What a good reputation his father had back then, who knew that such a son would be born", speaking of this, Tang Xuan began to scratch his head with his hands like a firewood rake, and he regretted it very much.
After listening to Tang Zhang's babbling complaints, Tang Cheng replied directly: "This Chen Huagui can't help."
"Cheng, your second sister ......".
"He's been mixed for so many years, he's been oily for a long time, he can't be bitter, and he still likes to gamble, how can he help? How much money has to be lost to him, the second sister and the child are afraid that they won't be able to spend half of it, why are we bothering? At this point, Tang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, just 'reconcile', right?" βγ
"How's that going to work? Do you want your sister's reputation anymore? When Tang Xuan heard this, he said in unison without thinking.
"Reconciliation and divorce" is the divorce of later generations, and it is the procedure for dissolving the relationship between husband and wife stipulated in the Tang Law. Tang Cheng saw that they reacted so strongly, so he asked again, "Daddy, you think about it, is the second sister's name important, or is it important for her to live a good life?" βγ
When Tang Xuan heard this, he scratched his head with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "No, after 'Heli', your reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult for your second sister to remarry."
"The second sister is only twenty-one this year, right? People are diligent, xìng is good, long and thoughtful, don't worry, father, mother, leave this matter to me, and after the second sister leaves, I will find a better one for her."
After saying this, seeing that Tang Zhang's family still didn't spit out, Tang Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's wait for the second sister to arrive tomorrow and ask her what she means, and let's also take a look at Chen Huagui again, maybe he still has a child."
Hearing this, after Tang Zhang's family looked at each other, they nodded again and again: "Well, yes, maybe he still has a child."
β¦β¦β¦β¦ β¦β¦β¦β¦ β¦β¦β¦β¦ β¦β¦β¦β¦ β¦β¦β¦β¦
That night, Tang Cheng told Li Yingjun about Baocheng, and after Li Yingjun heard it, he writhed around in Tang Cheng's arms and said: "Ah Cheng, you can just make your own decisions, if you want to say that this eldest brother-in-law I also saw last month, but he is a reliable person."
"Well, I'm more relieved to have your words", Tang Cheng's hand slid on Li Yingjun's body from time to time.
After the love just now, the blush on Li Yingjun's body has not faded, and at this time, she really didn't even want to move her little finger when lying on Tang Cheng's body, after a long time, she suddenly remembered something, and reluctantly stood up and said: "Ah Cheng, all the money is ours?" β
"Who else could it be if it's not ours?" , Tang Cheng smiled evilly, his hands tightened, and Li Yingjun snorted "um".
With this coquettish moan, she climbed down again, and said in a blur: "Ah Cheng, you went to Yangzhou twice, and you earned so much money, so much!" It's like a dream! βγ
"You still don't like being rich, I'm poor enough", when it came to Yangzhou, Tang Cheng naturally remembered Zheng Lingyi, and I don't know if she is doing well now? Thinking of this, he was a little excited, "You've been running for a day, you should be tired, sleep."
