Chapter Twenty-Four: In his own house, the Chen family is in trouble

"It's fast! Well, your team will do some of their own work for the company tomorrow, and the pay will only be high. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Meng Jiucheng explained another sentence after calculating, took a booklet of relief tickets, wrote down the amount of rice and grain, and stamped his own seal.

This kind of relief ticket was also designed and printed by Meng Jiucheng, a total of two copies, when it was issued, the amount must be filled in person, exchanged for grain at the designated grain store, and injected into the root slip as a voucher for reconciliation. This practice can effectively avoid the occurrence of such phenomena as fraudulent claims and false openings, and prevent officials from abusing their power to seek personal gains.

In the grain shop rice stack responsible for the exchange, there is also a double supervision and inspection sent by Meng Jiucheng to ensure that the grain shop is fully paid.

It is precisely because these various measures have basically put an end to the occurrence of corruption, deduction, and other phenomena that the various measures of cash-for-work have received a positive response from the displaced people. Work hard, work efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

"Thank you, Monach." Liang Datie took the ticket with both hands and asked, "Since it is the work of the priest, the villain must do a better job." ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded with a smile and asked, "If there is still room for strength, the progress of the excavation of the eastern section of the moat is not ideal, are you willing to take over?" ”

Liang Datie hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Thank you Meng Aisi for taking care of me, these people in a certain family are only worried that they have no work to do, and they can't support their families, where is there any reason for strength?" ”

"Okay, I'll leave this work to you, and in a few days you will recruit some more men, and you must do it quickly and well. I won't take care of you when it comes to quality inspection. Meng Jiucheng reciprocated the favor, but he didn't forget to give a word.

Take care of it, Meng Jiucheng also watched Liang Datie work hard, and this quality inspection will never relax.

"Meng Abshi, don't worry, the work handed over to the villain will never go wrong." Liang Datie patted his chest and reassured, and thanked him again and again.

It feels good to have power, don't look at it as just a small official in this county, but it can also make many people nod their heads and flatter and flatter.

Meng Jiucheng looked at Liang Datie's back in the distance, and thought of the mansion he had just bought, and couldn't help but sigh.

The newly bought house was none other than the unclean house. Originally, Meng Jiucheng didn't want to have a bad reputation, so he wanted Guo Chen to buy it, so that he could drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits according to the method taught by the fox fairy, but Guo Chen didn't want to take advantage of it. After all, the fox fairy is repaying the favor of the book, but this is going to fall on Meng Jiucheng. As for him, he was the murderer who injured the fox fairy and snatched his heavenly book.

Therefore, Guo Chen bought the house, but Meng Jiucheng's name was written on the deed, and he personally sent it to Meng Jiucheng to sign and pledge.

Meng Jiucheng naturally refused in every way, only saying that there were few people in the family, and there was not so much money, so it was inconvenient to live in the mansion. But Guo Chen's intentions were very strong and insistent in every way, until he made a fuss until his face was red and his neck was thick, and he almost hurt his feelings, but Meng Jiucheng reluctantly accepted it.

But this house is not in vain, Meng Jiucheng is counted as Guo Chen's shareholding according to the purchase price, and the soon-to-be-established Xianglu Co., Ltd. has one more shareholder. Guo Chen didn't expect this unexpected gain, he and Meng Jiucheng, and the most important thing was that Tang Xixi, the Oiran lady, became a partner, and he was overjoyed.

Meng Jiucheng just explained that Liang Datie's job was to clean up and repair this big mansion. He has planned everything, not only residences, workshops, and gardens, but also the four functions of demolishing the walls of the adjacent streets and building a few shops, as well as the four functions of business, commerce, residence and tourism.

If he is just a little rich, even if Meng Jiucheng is not a small official, with this multi-functional mansion and his intelligence, it is enough to settle down. It's just-

What interrupted Meng Jiucheng's thoughts was a few people approaching, one of whom he knew, Chen Hongji, who had not been in contact for many days.

Speaking of Chen Hong's lack of contact for many days, it is actually not a big deal, at least Meng Jiucheng doesn't think so.

The reason is very simple, the Chen family is the largest grain merchant in Baoying, and Jia Shi wants to cooperate with him and let the relief tickets of the displaced people be exchanged at his grain shop. Of course, the grain is distributed with rice grain, and what is received is a relief ticket, and the government also repays it every half month.

In other words, the government borrowed grain, and the payment was deferred. Although grain merchants do more business, it is inevitable that they will occupy funds and affect cash flow.

In order to let the grain merchants respond to the call and help the county government get through the difficult period of insufficient grain in the warehouse, Meng Jiucheng also suggested to Jia She, giving the grain merchants some tax incentives as compensation.

As the saying goes: the people don't fight with the officials. Jia Shi still salutes first and then soldiers, does not take coercive measures, but first guides and encourages, if he does not give face to the magistrate and does not support his work, and when he comes up with strict measures, he only takes the eight-character policy of "those who are closed are matched, and those who are strong are beheaded" (those who hoard grain and do not sell them are distributed to the army, and those who are decapitated and raised prices are maliciously acquired and displayed to the public), everyone's life is not easy!

But the Chen family relied on their wealth and some backers, but they had to bargain with the government, from three days to five days, and then to seven days, and they never let go. Such a calculating and valuing profit over righteousness naturally caused Jia Shi to be very unhappy.

Fortunately, the other grain merchants knew that their power was insufficient, or they were afraid of angering the county minister, or they were really benevolent and did good, so they finally took over the work of cashing the relief tickets. With this half-month extension, in and out, the county government's current limited warehouse grain can basically be supported.

Although the Chen family is in charge of the business, Chen Hongji's father and brother, his opinion is not decisive. But after this experience, Chen Hong gradually realized that he couldn't stand Meng Jiucheng. promised well, but it didn't work out, it can be said that he lost face, he felt ashamed, and he was embarrassed to meet and associate with Meng Jiucheng again.

Seeing Chen Hongji, Meng Jiucheng got up politely, arched his hand, called "Brother Chen", and took the lead in greeting.

Chen Hong hurriedly returned the salute, his face was ashamed, and he said continuously: "Ashamed, ashamed." Chen didn't believe his words, he was really ashamed to see Brother Meng! ”

"That's a big deal." Although Meng Jiucheng was also annoyed that the Chen family was too profit-oriented, he didn't want to blame Chen Hongjian for this, so he smiled and stretched out his hand, "Brother Chen, please sit down, don't take the previous things to heart, I know that Brother Chen has done his best." Besides, it's a business matter, and there is no obstacle to your personal relationship. ”

Chen Hong shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Having said that, I can't let go of it. Besides, when I came to beg Brother Meng today, I was even more shameless. ”

You don't have the face to beg, so what are you doing? Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said, "What do you ask for or not, it's too outward." With the friendship between you and me, if there is a need, I will do my best to help. ”

Chen Hong gradually sighed and sighed, even said that he was grateful, his face changed, and he introduced the person next to Meng Jiucheng with some stiffness and annoyance, "This is my brother Chen Hongye, but it is his trouble, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
