Chapter 166: First Meeting

Lin Shouzheng's expression was very strict, and his words were also very sharp, and he showed a strict attitude of punishment for Li Yanqing's unorganized and undisciplined behavior. $(). ()(x). However, the place where the two of them spoke was not in the prefect's yamen, but in the tavern used as a liaison between the prefecture and county, and the small table between the two was full of wine and meat, and the smell of meat rose, and it was impossible to get up in any case.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but confess, and asked again: "Is there a shortage of fish and meat in your old man's house?" If it's not enough, I'll have people send more from tomorrow. ”

Xiangshan County is now full of merchants from all over the world, and the daily consumption of grain and non-staple food is a huge number. How can it be supplied simply by relying on the land of Xiangshan County? The fish, meat, shrimp and crabs of several surrounding counties were all bought in Xiangshan to supply the expenses of wealthy people from all over the world.

These wealthy businessmen made a lot of money, and they could get a lot of money by trading with them, and even if there was no propaganda in Xiangshan County, the hawkers in several counties also concentrated in Xiangshan. Even if it is charged with the transaction tax plus the city entry tax, it is still much more cost-effective. In fact, not only hawkers, but also mule, horse, cart, and coolie porters from several counties also went to Xiangshan to find food.

Xiangshan County has also introduced a county government, and all the coachmen who take guests to the Xiangshan Inn to stay can get a reward of 50 wen per person each time, and they can also eat a meal of rice. Stimulated by this system, some people who didn't want to do business in Xiangshan were also forced to Xiangshan by the coachman.

There was a merchant surnamed Ma who went to the South China Sea to sell goods, but the coachman didn't say a word after pulling the man, and drove the car directly to Xiangshan. When the merchant asked, the coachman looked innocent and said, "Don't you know?" The South China Sea has long been assigned to Xiangshan, and I pulled it right. ”

Now even the girls in Nanhai, Panyu and even the Qing Mansion in Guangzhou have gone to Xiangshan to find food. A struggle between the local and foreign clearance circles. It's already at the point of being at the touch of a button.

However, Xiangshan is doing this, although he is a businessman. All industries are thriving, and several other counties. Even the Canton Prefecture suffered. Even the government can't catch the labor, prepare food, and can't buy fresh fish, shrimp and meat, so they complain. The ancestors of the Liu family were women, and they were wronged again for no reason.

However, Li Yanqing still knows the truth of being a man, and orders someone to send a fresh fish, shrimp, wine and meat to the prefect Lin Shouzheng's official residence every day. Even a few of his private residences are the same, and they will never let Governor Lin suffer any grievances. Lin Shouzheng also understands that they get along with each other. The principle of forbearance as an official.

"At this age, how much can the old man eat and how much can he use? I'm begging for the lives of my colleagues in Guangdong, and besides, getting to the point where they jointly file a lawsuit won't benefit any of us, right? ”

Li Yanqing was as good as a stream, and after being inspected by the prefect, the fish, meat, wine and food sent to Lin Shouzheng's mansion more than doubled. Lin Shouzheng is an honest official, and he will use these extra meat and other things. Enjoy it with colleagues and subordinates, and never hide it privately. It's just that at the end of the month, when the settlement was made, a sum of money was taken from the public money.

This problem of wine and meat is easy to handle, but it is a problem of women. Li Yanqing can't take dozens of red girls to Guangzhou by boat, right? As for the official reception in Guangzhou, everyone had to work hard and go to Xiangshan. Xiangshan is also famous for recognizing money but not people. I don't recognize the white slip issued by the government, as long as cash. The girls still see who pays more to accompany whomever they want. The noisy Guangzhou government is so boring.

These officials later jointly sued the Governor's Metropolitan Procuratorate and got a "born from the same root." Why is he too anxious to fry each other", and there is no follow-up.

This auction was originally a great thing for the governor, the prefect, and Xiangshan County. If Li Yanqing's hand is loosened and he talks about human feelings, it is tantamount to making Wu Guifang and Lin Shouzheng suffer losses. Therefore, the more Li Yanqing adheres to principles and offends people, the happier they are. Besides, there was a silver offering that opened Crab Island last time, where did these people move.

After Lin Shouzheng reprimanded Li Yanqing's nonsense, the conversation changed. "I heard that there have been a lot of businessmen in Xiangshan County recently, so I have to keep an eye on this. The merchants are the most immoral, don't be deceived by them and lose the money of the court. ”

"The lower officials should do their best, and they dare not slack off in the slightest."

"What is slacking off or not, this official believes in you, work hard, there will definitely be a future. I have a brother who is the most honest and kind-hearted, and now he is learning to do some tea business, but he has just entered the industry and doesn't know anything. I want him to go with you to Xiangshan to meet the market and learn how others sell goods. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange this matter properly, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Lin Shouzheng laughed, took a chopstick snake soup and put it in his mouth to chew. Originally, he thought that Liu Chaozuo had caught up with Wu Guifang, but he heard that he had recently befriended several extravagant characters among the eunuchs, and he might not have seen it in his own prefect. Today, it seems that he is not wrong, Xiao Liu is a good guy, not a bastard with his eyes on his forehead, he will become atmospheric one day.

Li Yanqing still had a meeting in the evening, and the banquet was dispersed in the afternoon. He returned to the inn, but saw that Mu Jiawang and the others had already hung their heads and threw dice in the store room, hitting Tianjiu.

When I asked, I found out that the good girls in the Qing Mansion had all gone to Xiangshan, but the ones left behind were not mortals, they were all saltless women, and an outstanding figure like Huang Yueying really couldn't mention the nature. In several gambling halls, they were also closed, and it turned out that the boss took the dealer to Xiangshan Cai, and everyone had to go back to the store to play by themselves.

In the evening, before the group came to a restaurant in Guangzhou, they saw a few strong men waiting at the door, and after greeting Mu Jiawang, they said, "Madame has an order, let Master Liu go to the second floor to talk." As for the others, I'm sorry, you can't go in. ”

Don't look at Mu Jiawang, relying on Mu En's power, he is quite domineering, but he doesn't dare to have the slightest confrontation with these people. He has his own number, that is, his godfather Muen, who is a little worse than Gao Duzhong, and he is even less than anything. only said to Liu Chaozuo: "Master Liu, please come in, be careful in everything, and reply to Mrs. well, don't make Mrs. unhappy." ”

Li Yanqing and the others walked into the building, but there were two maids waiting below, leading him straight up to the second floor. I saw that a few screens were used upstairs to enclose a space that isolated the inside and outside, and in the swaying lights, a graceful back appeared in front of Li Yanqing's eyes, and the woman didn't turn back, but just asked: "It's the main hall of Xiangshan, Master Liu?" ”

"Don't dare, it's Xiaguan, are you Mrs. Shui?"

"Madame, I can't afford it. It's just one of the people next to Gonggong Gao, Master Liu is a civil official of the country, so you don't have to be polite, sit down and speak. ”

Li Yanqing had just sat down, the woman waved her hand, and the two maids went down, and the woman asked, "Master Liu, do you know where our goods came from?" Do you know what kind of trouble you got into by selling those more than 2,000 pieces of silk? (To be continued!)
