Chapter 81: New Year, New Weather

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and after the Deyue Building closes, the main hall is still brightly lit, and five tables of wine and food are prepared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Tonight is the annual meeting organized by Zheng Zhi, and it is probably a new term brought by Zheng Zhi, although this kind of activity is not Zheng Zhi's first creation, but the name of this annual meeting is the first one proposed by Zheng Zhi.

There was still goose feather snow outside, but the atmosphere inside the main hall was very warm. Everyone was smiling, probably knowing that they would be able to pass a prosperous New Year tomorrow.

The first table in front of the head naturally sat Zheng Zhi, Luda, Shi Jin, as well as Wang Jin, Lin Chong, and Zhang Jiaotou. Today's Wang Jin is different from what Zheng Zhi looked like when he first met, and he is already the man whose martial arts are the best in Tokyo.

Sitting at the second table were Li Er, Niu Da, Hu Jingzhong, Yu Dali, Wu Baoshan, and three other heads, as well as a few henchmen who followed Zheng Zhi at the earliest. Needless to say, Yu Dali and Hu Jingzhong are now both in the top position.

Li Er and Wu Baoshan's current status is also regarded as a well-known figure in Weizhou, not the notoriety of the gangsters on the street, but the merchants, and the streets of the official government, are all very dignified. It was a few splashes who followed Zheng Zhi to sell meat before, and now they are also in brocade clothes, and most of them are responsible for some important affairs.

The third table is naturally some of the powerful team leaders and Yu Hou in the trilogy.

At the fourth table sat the chef's account room and the like, some of the people in charge of the shopping mall, and the people in charge of the inner and outer halls of the Deyue Building.

At the last table, there were some small servants sitting in front of them, and the three small servants in Zheng Zhi's family were also in the table.

In front of the main hall, there was a large table, on which were piled up with white and dazzling silver, piled up as high as half a person, and a stack of red cloth was placed next to it.

Everyone looked at the silver taels on the big table, and they all smiled, this silver was still Zheng Zhi asked Li Er to prepare, and everyone didn't know that Zheng Daguan was going to reward silver today. Obviously, this is also the method that Zheng Zhi learned in his previous life.

Zheng Zhi also said the words of the scene, and then the banquet began, and everyone came to salute.

Everyone stepped forward to toast with Zheng Zhi, and Zheng Zhi had to praise him, mostly praising everyone for what they did well this year and making persistent efforts in the coming year.

The climax of the annual meeting is naturally to give out a reward of silver, and sure enough, everyone has a share, the most is Li Er, who directly sent three hundred taels, and the least small guy also has five or six taels.

The troops in the army ranged from seventy or eighty taels to twenty or thirty taels, and even Lin Chong, who was not so familiar with everyone, also gave one hundred and fifty taels of settling-in allowance.

When Lin Chong was in Tokyo, he was also considered a wealthy middle class, and those who could take a thousand yuan to buy a treasure knife were not poor, but now they received more than 100 taels of red cloth packages, and they were even moved. Obviously, there is also an atmosphere of gratitude in this atmosphere.

"Officials, the small one started a new house at the beginning of the year, and now it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and the small one will kowtow to the officials again." After Li Er finished speaking, a bang banged on the ground, and Zheng Zhi stepped forward to help him up.

Everyone followed suit, and most of them stepped forward to thank Zheng Zhi. Even the men in the army are the same.

"Lord Commander, my old Hu has been in the army for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have met such a superior, and I thank you." Lao Hu, who took eighty taels, could not be moved, although the treatment of the forbidden army was much better than that of the soldiers in other places, but it was only enough to support his family, and when he really had a surplus, that is, some rewards in exchange for his head in the battle array.

is a small kind of confidant like Ruda, and his income is only enough for some expenses of drinking and eating meat every day, and sometimes he is short of money.

It can be seen that the northwest is really barren compared to Tokyo. If Ruda served in the Tokyo Forbidden Army, how could he mix up Lin Chong's previous net worth.

is a good general like a small breed Xianggong, when encountering such a thing as suppressing bandits, the first consideration is not to protect the territory and the people, but how much food can be obtained to subsidize military salaries, which shows that the Northwest Prefecture is really not a wealthy place.

If it were in Tokyo, any literati and petty official, who would not have a fortune. It can be seen that there are really many problems in this Great Song Dynasty, and the border army will fight bravely with their lives, which is only enough to support their families. In Tokyo, anyone who has a little way out of the road is a wealthy family, and this society is really unfair.

Although the main economic centers of the Song Dynasty were Kaifeng Prefecture and Jiangnan, these people from the north were needed to protect their homes and defend the country. Even if Chao robbed 100,000 Birthday Gang before he went to Liangshan, it sounds like a lot, but for Cai Jing at that time, it was really not much money. It's just a birthday present from someone else.

But this birthday gift is a huge amount of money for the people on the ground in Shandong. It can support the development of a huge cottage.

It is the cost of transporting a huge Taihu Lake stone, and if it is put in the northwest, it is enough to grow the military expenses of the family army for two or three months. And how many years have those Taihu stones of different sizes been transported? How many more are shipped each year? It's too many to count.

The annual meeting ended in such a warm and grateful atmosphere.

The people rejoiced in the New Year. But it is a few joys and a few sorrows, and this Weizhou Pan family is naturally a family that is worried about the New Year.

When Pan Xingguo was really embarrassed for a long time, several uncles and brothers, most of them did not support Pan Xingguo's establishment of a caravan to sell wine, although they knew that these three bowls were now selling well without returning home, they still did not support the whole family to do such a thing.

It's not that these people really don't have foresight, it's really that in today's world, caravans are a very risky industry, and it is not safe to go to Western Xia Daliao if you don't say it, even if you are in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the end, Pan Xingguo was forced to think about it and prepare to do it alone.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Pan Xingguo came to Zheng Zhi's mansion with a large bag of gifts.

After a New Year's greeting.

"Shopkeeper Pan has thought about it?" Zheng Zhi went straight to the point, two or three months have passed since this incident, and this Perxing Guo is finally here. If he doesn't come, Zheng Zhi wants to find someone else to do this.

"Lord Commander, I have thought about it below, and I must do it at this time, but my uncles and brothers in the family do not support it, which is really difficult." Pan Xingguo replied, also directly stating his reality. Although the Pan family is mainly Pershing Guo, and the main business is also Pern Xingguo, there are still several common houses in the business property, but Pan Xingguo's house accounts for the majority.

If these uncles and brothers do not support it, Pershing Guo will be a little unable in terms of manpower and funds.

"This is easy to say, as long as the shopkeeper Pan joins, the money is not enough, I should make up for it more, but the shares of the shopkeeper Pan will be less." Zheng Zhi understood the meaning of Pershing Guo's words, and he could also understand the worries in Pern Xingguo's heart.

This Pan Xingguo is also afraid that he is the only one who cooperates with Zheng Zhi, not the entire Pan family, and the resources in terms of human and material resources are insufficient, and he is afraid that Zheng Zhi will not look down on him.

But I don't know that Zheng Zhi doesn't fancy the manpower and material resources of the Pan family, but only falls in love with Pan Xingguo.

Pan Xingguo was overjoyed when he heard this, and instead of slowly declining with his uncles and brothers, it was better to gamble with Zheng Zhi. Pan Xingguo really watched Zheng Zhi get up step by step, from a butcher who sold meat, to now the battalion commander under the public account of the small breed, the shopkeeper of Wanda Shopping Mall, the owner of Deyue Building, and the master of the three bowls that do not return.

The speed of this rise is that when the story is told to others, others will not believe it.

"Thank you for making it affordable to the Lord, I will do my best to complete this matter, and I will definitely not let the Adult lose his capital." Although Pan Xingguo was happy in his heart, he couldn't say anything superfluous, and it was most appropriate to say the confidence and assurance in his heart.

"Okay, I'll start this at the beginning of the year, and you'll be in charge of everything. You go back and find someone to write a contract document, and you and I are in black and white, and a word is a decision. "Zheng Zhi has always been pragmatic in his work, less in his vain and polite, and more straight to the point. This kind of temperament, Li Er feels the deepest, instead of nodding his head on the side, it is better to go directly to the things explained by the officials.

Soon after the beginning of the year, the carpenters of the city came to do big business again, and dozens of brand-new carriages began to be built in various places inside and outside the city.

Everywhere in the city, people bought horses that pulled carts at high prices.

The winery, which had been expanded several times outside the city over the past few months, was running at full capacity, and women and children from nearby villages were all coming to help.

Zhu Wu of Shaohuashan also received a letter from Zheng Zhi and selected a hundred men and horses to follow to protect the safety of the caravan. even named Chen Da to lead the team personally.

A few years ago, Zhu Wu and the three of them took two or three hundred minions to Peach Blossom Mountain, and Li Zhong, the tiger general, really sat on Peach Blossom Mountain. Li Zhong originally sold some plasters such as Diana pills for a living, and he was a low-level person who really walked the rivers and lakes, but his business was really not good, so he still went to the big bowl of Peach Blossom Mountain to drink wine and eat meat according to the original trajectory.

But this Peach Blossom Mountain is really poor under Zhou Tong, and the first few hundred minions have run away to only about 200 people.

Li Zhong listened to Zhu Wu's message, and went to Weizhou after the New Year, and went back happily with Zheng Zhi's cottage management policy and 1,000 taels of silver.

This business policy is also a copy of Shaohua Mountain. It is also in line with Zhou Tong's intentions, neither need to kill people and set fires, but also do not need to rob houses, and can earn a long-term road money.
