It's not just Yu San and Gu Hongtai who think so.

Jiang Zhizhou asked someone to inform the president of the local chamber of commerce in Linqing to come to Yamen, and the president of the chamber of commerce came quickly.

Linshui water transportation is developed, not only there are granaries, but also there is a canal banknote for collecting taxes, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in addition to transporting grain, but also provides convenience for merchants from the north and south, but merchant ships and civilian ships have to pay taxes when they encounter banknotes. The banknote customs of Linqing, the tax revenue ranks first among the eight banknotes of the canal, which shows its prosperity.

The geographical conditions of Linqing are so superior, the commercial development far exceeds other places, and in the heyday, Linqing also has the reputation of 'rich Jiaqi County'.

Where commerce is so prosperous, how can there be no chamber of commerce?

As soon as I heard that the five princes were ordered to Huainan for disaster relief, passing through Linqing, the Linqing Chamber of Commerce and the big businessmen of Linqing knew that they would definitely have to pay a large sum of silver.

Taking the initiative to give is giving, and the court apportionment is also giving, it is better to take the initiative to give honestly, and you can still make a good impression in front of the five princes.

The five princes can't remember them, and it's good that the adults who accompanied the disaster relief can remember them.

You must also be particular about sending silver, the president of the chamber of commerce can be regarded as waiting for the call of the parents and officials in the city, and the president needs Jiang Zhizhou to pull the strings!

Leaving Jiang Zhizhou aside, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely not be able to show off alone.

When the president of the Linqing Chamber of Commerce rushed to the yamen, Jiang Zhizhou really opened his mouth and raised the silver.

Alas, Lord Jiang is too anxious, right?

The president of the Linqing Chamber of Commerce promised to donate 10,000 taels of silver on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and Gu Hongtai, who was a backdrop behind Jiang Zhizhou, had his eyelids jumping wildly.

Ten thousand taels!

Linqing people are really rich.

10,000 taels of silver will be donated, if this is given to yourself, there will be a lot left to pay off the debt.

Jiang Zhizhou frowned, "President Lu, this official didn't ask you to donate silver, of course, if President Lu wants to contribute to the drought in Huainan, this official will not stop you...... But let's get down to business first. ”

Gu Hongtai is envious: Jiang Zhizhou's heart is so black!

Yu San was puzzled: This Jiang Zhizhou, should he want to make money in the name of Cheng Qing, taking advantage of the drought in Huainan, and want to squeeze tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Linqing Chamber of Commerce?

When he was at the dock, Yu San was busy pecking at Cui Yan's rookie, and he didn't listen to all the conversations between Cheng Qing and Jiang Zhizhou, and he wasn't sure what Jiang Zhizhou wanted to do.

Yu San and Gu Hongtai both thought so, and it is conceivable what the mood of President Lu of the Linqing Chamber of Commerce was.

Translated into words, 10,000 taels can't satisfy Jiang Zhizhou's appetite!

The five princes who passed through Linqing, did he really have such a big appetite?

President Lu was willing to raise the amount, but there were also conditions attached, he wanted to personally send the silver to the five princes to donate.

Jiang Zhizhou couldn't cry or laugh, "President Lu, you misunderstood, this official called you here to ask if your Linqing Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay for the construction of the wharf!" ”

Dock?

What pier ......

President Lu was in good spirits.

Linqing is developed by water transportation, every day ships come and go, the wharf represents business opportunities, is the hen that lays golden eggs, why doesn't President Lu want it?

Jiang Zhizhou said that Linqing wanted to build a new wharf, and in order not to increase the burden on the imperial court, it was decided to hand over the wharf to Linqing Chamber of Commerce and other organizations or individuals to undertake the construction.

Of course, the imperial court does not pay for it, and whoever builds this wharf belongs to whomever it is.

When President Lu heard this, his breath became short.

Jiang Zhizhou has only one requirement, that is, the craftsmen who build must be hired from the displaced people, and the wage is also set by Jiang Zhizhou, and he told President Lu very bluntly that he will set a wage that is half higher than the market price, and if President Lu is unwilling to accept it, Jiang Zhizhou will find someone else to undertake the construction.

"Lu is willing!"

President Lu agreed simply, not reluctantly at all.

I was afraid that Jiang Zhizhou would regret it, so I immediately wanted to finalize the matter with the deed.

Jiang Zhizhou bowed his head and smiled, "President Lu should not be in a hurry, such a good thing to help the victims, of course, we must invite the gentry in the city, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, President Lu should leave some opportunities for others." ”

No, the Linqing Chamber of Commerce wants it all!

President Lu was denied his thoughts, and it was a pity.

"Lu obeys the teachings of adults."

It is impossible to eat alone, and the Linqing Chamber of Commerce must take the lion's share, President Lu secretly made up his mind, and asked Jiang Zhizhou to ask for his life in front of Jiang Zhizhou, and asked Jiang Zhizhou to hand over the work of contacting the gentry in the city to himself.

President Lu insisted on sharing Jiang Zhizhou's worries, and Jiang Zhizhou naturally would not refuse.

President Lu of the Linqing Chamber of Commerce, with gray hair and thin people, is not young at first glance.

When he left the yamen, he ran no slower than the young man.

As long as he runs fast enough, Jiang Zhizhou can't go back?

Gu Hongtai was stunned throughout the whole process.

Yu San seems to understand whether he understands or not.

This is not very like a forced apportionment, although President Lu said before leaving that he would donate 20,000 miles of silver to Huainan on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, his expression was not reluctant at all, but like taking a big advantage.

Yu Sanhua has always been generous, and the Yu family is a big family in Shandong, so they are not short of money.

When Yu San entered Jinyiwei, Luo Jun didn't kiss his son anyway, and the silver in Luo's mansion was also used with Yu Sanhua.

Yu San, who was not short of money, had never earned silver by himself, and when he saw President Lu coming and going like the wind, he happily took over the errand of building a wharf from Jiang Zhizhou, and the first thought that came to Yu San's mind was: repairing the wharf must be very profitable, so President Lu did not feel sorry for the 20,000 taels of silver donated to Huainan, and agreed to hire homeless people to work at a wage half higher than the market price.

In this kind of private dock, merchant ships are berthed for a fee.

But just by collecting some docking fees, President Lu couldn't be so excited.

Yu San hid his doubts in his heart.

As long as Jiang Zhizhou is not cheating money in the name of Cheng Qing and the Five Princes, Yu San doesn't care.

Jiang Zhizhou found a place for the homeless people outside the city to work, and Yu San was not willing to be idle, so he took Gu Hongtai to the place where the homeless people lived to do statistics.

Jiang Zhizhou gave him a piece of paper with what Yu San was going to do.

First take the lime to "disinfect" the shack area, and then urge the homeless people to take a bath?

What kind of bullshit is this!

"My lord, does Jiang Zhizhou look down on us?"

Gu Hongtai is also the young master of Jingning Bofu, and he was called Uncle Gu when he was in the Guozijian.

made his own death, so he couldn't get along in the Guozi Prison, so he followed Yu San into Jinyiwei as a captain.

Give Yu San as a follower, Gu Hongtai can accept it.

In addition to Yu San's reincarnation, people also have the ability to be righteous, and Gu Hongtai is still very convinced of Yu San in his heart.

But he is a dignified young master of the Uncle's Mansion who wants to go to the bath of a group of untouchables, carry bath water for the mud-legged people, and clean the grass shed for the mud-legged people, which is simply insulting!

Gu Hongtai thought to himself that he was so angry, Yu Baihu was more proud than him, and he definitely couldn't accept Jiang Zhizhou's random arrangement.

How do you know that Gu Hongtai just jumped to his feet, and Yu Sanyi slapped him on the head:

"What have you done to make people look down on you? Is it easy to say a few words, or come up with an idea, and the Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate 20,000 taels of silver? ”
