【Set Sail】Official YY: 208714, welcome everyone!

It is said that after experiencing all kinds of turmoil, Yangzhou salt merchants have a very subtle attitude towards Li You. They recognized Li You's strength, obeyed Li You's decrees, and maintained the corresponding courtesy and thoughtfulness, but they would not be close to Li You, and it was difficult for Li Woo to regard Li as their own.

After all, the gap is not so easy to sew, not to mention that Li You himself is not positive about bridging the gap, and has always been dispensable and arrogant. And the salt merchants also have their own pride and self-esteem, anyway, you Li You will leave sooner or later, so why bother with you.

Xu Changrui, whose name is extremely cheesy, is an outlier, Li Xianzun became too punctual Li, he immediately came to the door to say hello, expressed a strong heart of friendship, and promised to give money to help Master Li to meet him.

For such a role, it is still very necessary in Lord Li's thoughts, and there have been several small salt merchants who have made similar statements before, but they are not agreeable. Although this Xu Yuanwai is not one of the seven giant merchants, he can also rank in the top 30, which is considered a big one among the three hundred salt merchants, which is also in line with Li You's thoughts.

In the city of Yangzhou, another famous salt merchant who did not study and only taught himself since he was a child is Jin Million, and he was chatting with his wife at home about New Year's affairs on this day. Halfway through the conversation, I saw that his brother-in-law Xie Yanhe came to visit the door. Xie Yanhe said proudly: "Don't worry about my brother-in-law, it's all right now!" With a little trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, Lord Li exempted all merchants and shops from running errands! ”

"All exempt? Are you sure? Jin Million was surprised.

"There is a notice today, and you can't be wrong."

After listening to his wife and brother talk about the causes and consequences, Jin Million scolded: "Stupid! It's because your sister is wrong, it's normal to anger Li You and implicate you, just endure it, it's a big deal to spit on yourself! Who told you to think about it! Mrs. Xie couldn't help it, "Your reasoning is not right, how can you completely turn to Li You." ”

"Shut up!" Jin Million was really angry, and continued to scold his wife and brother: "It's a fart to be reasonable!" Is there anyone in Yangzhou City today who is restraining Li You? No one can control it, so he's the truth! If he asks you to lose money, you will pay for it, and there is an old man who can make you starve to death? I told you not to think about it, but you didn't listen, your little cleverness will only cause more trouble for yourself! He is an official family, not a businessman, and he is not allowed to bargain, your behavior is a provocation in his eyes, and the old man is not good at interceding for you! Xie Yanhe smiled and said: "It may not be that serious, now that everything is harmonious, I will be more cautious in the future, but I will also have a brother-in-law to help take care of it." ”

At this time, the subordinates of the Jin Mansion spread the word at the door: "Uncle, someone from your mansion came to look for you, I heard that your tea boat was seized by the water outside the tax gate at the south gate, and for some reason it hit another boat, and it capsized. ”

Jin Zhiwan snorted coldly, "This is just the beginning. ”

With a whole boatload of tea, Xie Yanhe couldn't take care of the distress, and completely panicked and asked his brother-in-law for help: "How is this good?" ”

Jin Million first scolded his wife: "It's all the accident you caused, and you continue to be entangled in Sister Bao'er's affairs, I'm afraid that all of your Xie family will be put in prison for dinner!" Li You's meaning is clearly to warn you, it is enough for you to make a soft posture, but you still pretend to be smart and bump into it! Mrs. Xie didn't say a word, turned her head and said to her wife and brother: "The old man has long known that you are going to make a leak, and now there is only one way..."

Li You should go to the third room tonight to rest overnight. Under the bright candlelight, there were several stacks of account books on the table, and Master Li lifted the curtain and entered the back room, just as Guan Xiurust had finished taking inventory, and sat on the embroidery pier and stretched his waist gently.

"I heard you're counting today? This is the year-end general ledger? Li You asked. …,

Aunt Guan replied: "Yes, there is such a thing every year, does my husband ask knowingly." ”

Li You took out a piece of paperwork, "A letter has come from home, and my mother misses her little grandson." I thought that I could let you go home during the Chinese New Year, but I thought that it would be cold at this time, and it would be easy to get sick when I was out and about, so I still don't want to move. ”

"Let my husband tell me, I can leave next spring when the flowers bloom."

Speaking of his son, Li You asked again: "Have you ever come up with a name?" ”

Guan Xiurust smiled slyly, "There is one concubine, what about the name Li Shixun?" ”

Sehoon... Li You twitched, this name is more appropriate to leave for the son of the successor commander. He earned his son two pit positions, one honor and one shade, and others are afraid that when they hear the name Shixun, they will subconsciously think that this son wants to inherit the honor.

Master Li had to smile bitterly: "Change one, change one, it's better to call Shiyin, how auspicious." ”

Guan Xiuyu pursed her lips slightly, "It's just a name, what can it be counted, my husband is really stingy." ”

Li You looked at it left and right, and opened the topic: "How much money did your store make this year?" It's better to make a bet, if the money you earn in your store is not as much as the various filial piety I earn, then Da Lang will honestly call Li Shiyin. ”

"The husband came to pretend to fool again, deliberately looking for this unfair competition, which is pure bullying. The concubine's small business is not as fast as your parents' officials, you have already entered the account for a thousand taels before.

The concubine is a serious business, with income and exit, and is just subsidizing the family, how can you compare with the big man who makes a net profit and does not lose money? "Guan Xiu rust deflated.

Looking at her helpless but unconvinced appearance, Li You was secretly proud, we still make more money than you, this is the last word. smiled and said: "That can be said, at the beginning of this year's tenure, the husband only arrived at the end of April, and he didn't get much." In the past few days, I have gained another five hundred, which adds up to about one thousand and a half, which is not too much. How many silk shops and salt shops do you have? ”

Aunt Guan's face suddenly flashed in the candlelight, and it was as brilliant as a spring flower blooming in an instant, and it dazzled Master Li. I heard her say neatly in one breath: "I just calculated, the net profit is two thousand one hundred taels!" The husband is not allowed to Tulai! ”

What the? It's even more than his gray income! Li You was shocked, "This can't be!" In previous years, you only had a profit of seven or eight hundred, but this year it is only half a year of business, how can there be two thousand taels! ”

Guan Xiu Rust said happily: "I don't know that Yangzhou people make money from Yangzhou, selling silk and satin from Suzhou, one or two two, only to transport more than 200 miles of waterway to Yangzhou is three or four taels to sell." And Yangzhou people love the new, and the pursuit of Suzhou goods, sell a batch, and then a batch, as long as the previous batch of styles is outdated, the new batch is the new color, and it is sold short when it is listed. ”

"And the old ones that were made into garments, they often took them out and sold them.

The concubine opened a clothing estimation counter in the store, specializing in harvesting ready-to-wear clothes, and after receiving it, it was sold to nearby towns and counties, and it was a large sum of money to enter and exit."

"With your name, even all kinds of taxes and silver are exempted, Yangzhou's silver is too easy to earn, and there are profits from the past two years in half a year. Coupled with the new salt business, it is easy for the net profit to exceed 2,000. ”

In the end, Aunt Guan concluded: "Husband, you are a dignified man, you can't speak, it's not a **, Master Li, who is too busy and has no intention of paying attention to the family's business, is speechless, how can he be more than himself?" It's really hard to jump out of this pit dug up.

At this time, it was rumored that the shopkeeper in the store asked to see Aunt Guan, and Master Li wondered, what urgent matter could there be this night? However, I felt that the shopkeeper was interrupted at an embarrassing moment, so I went to the front yard with Guan Xiurust to see the shopkeeper. …,

The shopkeeper reported after saluting: "This evening, three shopkeepers who claim to be Xie's tea shop, wood shop, and oil shop came to the store, saying that they are willing to partner with the owner, and they will divide it into four and six, and he will be four and six. The little one didn't dare to call the shots, so he hurriedly came to ask the owner to show him. ”

Guan Xiurust is inexplicable about this, is this a door-to-door gift of money? How can it be so cheap? Is there fraud in it?

So that's the case, but Master Li laughed in a relaxed mood, "It's a coincidence! Sister Xiu'er, this is also the account of the husband, and if you calculate it carefully, it is still more for the husband, and the eldest man is called Shiyin! ”

This must be another ghost done by the husband, Guan Xiurust sighed helplessly. If it were possible, Aunt Guan would rather push all three partnerships out and exchange a Sehoon name for her son. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly spit on my husband in my heart, "corrupt officials corrupt officials and officials take advantage of it".

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, and the practice of the yamen is to start the sealing holiday on the twenty-second day of the lunar month. But there is also a custom for the prefectural and county officials to meet and hold a public banquet to celebrate the end of the year.

Therefore, on the 22nd, Li Tongzhi, the secretary of the same department, went to the government office and met with the acting government secretary Luo Shenzheng. In a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere, the two sides had cordial and friendly conversations, reserved their respective views on the future work of Yangzhou government, and worked hard to reach an agreement on jointly opposing the entry of the governor's yamen into Yangzhou.

After all, it's going to be the official New Year, and no one wants to quarrel at this time. The room was full of joy until it was nearly noon, and Luo Shenzheng warmly invited Li Tongzhi to a banquet, and Li Tongzhi gladly accepted the invitation.

When the two sides walked to the door of the hall, they saw the officials of the government office probing their brains outside, and when they saw Luo Shenzheng coming out, they took three steps and made two steps to salute, and then said: "The official document of the imperial court was specially sent to my Yangzhou Mansion." ”

Luo Shenzheng smiled at Li Tongzhi and said: "The big gate over there in the imperial court has also been sealed in the past few days, and this official document was probably the last to be issued before the seal, but it only arrived today." ”

Lord Luo opened it and took a closer look, and his expression immediately changed dramatically, Li You stood beside him, and he also peeked a few times relying on his good eyesight, and immediately his expression changed dramatically.

One of the paragraphs is: "For the relocation of the Yamen of the Governor of Fengyang, I have consulted various places in recent months, and there are different words in all parts of Jiangbei, and all the Yamen of Duyang Prefecture have tacitly agreed to it, and there is no voice of defense." If this is the case, Xu Fengyang's governor Yamen moved to Yangzhou and made the trip after the year. ”

Darn! Luo Shenzheng, who felt that he had been fooled, finally became angry, threw the official document on the ground, and almost roared at Li You and asked: "You actually entered the room without saying a word, and you are a villain!" Villain! Dog meat is not on the table! ”

Li You did not show weakness, and sneered at each other angrily: "You are the main hall of the government, why are you as timid as a mouse and don't play against it!" Now that the imperial court has approved the governor to Yangzhou, what do you say! How to be good! You can't escape the blame for this mansion! ”

The two Taishou who had expected the other party to come forward as cannon fodder were extremely disappointed, and they broke up unhappily after scolding each other for a quarter of an hour. The officials of the government office sighed one after another: "The spring of the Yangzhou government is so short. ”。 ）
