Chapter 308: Du Yun returns to Beijing
Han Fei is the younger brother of Concubine Jia Yuanchun, who can be regarded as the uncle of the country, and the quasi-concubine of the Emperor Taishang and the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi, the most favored by the emperor today, and is talented and better at making money, although he is very young, he is extremely trusted by the emperor. But he is by no means an ordinary gentleman, he did not get carried away because of this, and after obtaining the emperor's permission to act cheaply, he acted more cautiously.
Han Fei asked the emperor to recruit security personnel, although it was because of the needs of the Commercial Bureau, there was no doubt that there were also factors to cultivate his own strength. With the emperor's permission, he immediately built a barracks outside the city for the training of security personnel, and through the emperor, he dispatched a battalion of troops to assist in recruiting new recruits and maintaining order on the spot.
Of course, the construction of barracks and the recruitment of new security personnel will not stop at one day, and Han Fei plans to complete this work within a month, and then intensify training for three months, and then gradually arrange for his post. During this period, the Civil Gazette published several consecutive issues of the Commercial Bureau's recruitment of security personnel. However, most people only think that it is similar to the recruitment of nursing home care, and do not pay much attention to it.
An important reason why this matter has not been paid attention to by public opinion in the capital is that Han Fei deliberately downplayed this matter, and he didn't want people with a heart to associate with this matter. Another important reason is that the stock price of the Dahua Trading Corporation, after a slight decline in several days, has risen again, and has now exceeded 1,300 taels of silver.
Public opinion in the capital is crazy, and the compound of the Commercial Bureau is crowded by businessmen from all over the world almost every day. In the side compartment of the hall, a special window was opened, and on both sides of the window there was a pair that seemed to be a verse, "stocks are risky, and you must be cautious when entering the market", but the people around the window directly ignored this sentence, and all eyes stared at the sign above the window, which changes every once in a while.
The sign reads the price of the shares of Dahua Trading Corporation. Some people in the yard still remember that the number on the sign was five hundred taels, which was silent for two days, and then soared all the way until it broke through the 1,000 taels mark, and then decreased to 800 taels, and then turned around and rose, and now the number is 1,350 taels.
The sign indicates the price of the most recent transaction made, and if there is no new transaction within a quarter of an hour, the bid price of the buyer and the seller. That is, if there is no buyer, the seller will continue to bid downward based on the marked price, and conversely, if there is no seller, the buyer will continue to bid upwards until the buyer and seller reach a new transaction, which is the new price of the stock.
In order to ensure fairness and impartiality, the Commerce Bureau stipulates that every businessman who intends to participate in the auction shall receive a license plate before bidding, write the price he agrees with on the number plate, and enter the transaction window. Those who intend to buy must also pay a certain deposit, and those who maliciously bid and are unwilling to make a deal will have the deposit confiscated, and the deposit will be refunded if the transaction is reached.
After a month of publicity, the shares of Dahua Trading Corporation became famous all over the country, and many interested businessmen flocked to the capital, and even the restaurant inn became popular.
These days, Han Fei has arranged the affairs of the Commercial Bureau and spent a lot of time in his own building. The Han government built this seven-story building, not to show off its wealth, nor to get any landmark buildings in Beijing, but to promote the effect of cement. If cement wants to go down the altar and be accepted by the common people, it is necessary to use more, and only by letting the people experience the role of cement will there be broad prospects for development.
Han Fei is not engaged in architecture, but he has a super system, and the craftsmen he invited are all involved in the construction of the imperial tomb, and he has rich architectural experience, so he can naturally quickly understand the new architectural thinking he taught. He used the method that was common in later generations, first pouring the frame with cement and then filling the frame with bricks to build the walls. This method is fast and strong, and it has been proven countless times in later generations, but it is a revolution in the way of building in this era.
In just two months, the frame of the seven-story building has been poured, and the majestic prototype of the building has attracted countless people to look up.
"Uncle, Du Xianggong has entered Beijing!"
Han Fei was inspecting the construction site, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly said: "The teacher has already entered the city!" ”
"Not yet, the people of Du Mansion have come to the mansion to report, and Du Xianggong will arrive in the capital in more than an hour......"
"Go home!" Han Fei hurried to the vicinity of his carriage, and said, "Order someone to inform Miss Du to go home!" ”
When Han Fei rushed to the Han Mansion, Du Lan also rushed back, and he didn't enter the mansion, and said to Du Lan: "The teacher has entered Beijing, the junior sister will take some people to the Du Mansion to prepare for the reception, and I will go outside the city to greet him!" ”
"Dad has entered Beijing? Senior brother, I'll go with you to greet you, and let my father rest in the Han Mansion first! ”
"The teacher will not leave in Beijing this time, he will not leave in a short time, he will inevitably bring his family, maybe the master will also come together, so many people, how can the teacher come to Hanfu first? Go ahead and don't waste time! ”
Du Yun entered Kyoto without notifying Han Fei in advance this time, and only sent someone to tell him when he was about to arrive in the capital, indicating that his trip was extremely low-key. Han Fei understood this, and it was inconvenient to inform the others, so he drove lightly and rushed to the Changting Ten Miles away from the city to wait.
After a while, a huge convoy came up on the official road, and the current carriage was a special carriage from the Han Mansion, escorted by a man on horseback on the left and right, Du Yun's eldest son Du Liang on one side, and Du Yihu, the foreman of the Du Mansion Nursing Hospital, on the other. Han Fei hurriedly walked out of the long pavilion and stood on the side of the road to wait.
"Senior Brother Han-" Du Liang saw Han Fei and immediately urged the horse to gallop over.
"Senior brother...... Han Fei saw that the carriage had stopped, Du Yun got out of the carriage, greeted Du Liang, hurried to the side of the carriage, bowed to Du Yun and said, "Disciple to meet the teacher!" The teacher has worked hard all the way! ”
