At the beginning of November in the eighteenth year of Hongwei, the cold air from the north quickly moved south, blowing off the green leaves all over the city overnight, and the people of the whole city turned out thick cotton jackets from the bottom of the box, announcing that the cold winter had come to the north again.

There is no need to go to court on this day, Xu Rui came to the military department early, although his body's ability to cope with the cold has been improved a lot after the transformation of genetic medicine, he still pretends to hold a stove.

The heater is naturally the latest product of Galaxy Group, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a rubber hot water bottle covered with a layer of suede.

With a large number of industrial products on the market, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people in the north are changing rapidly, and the corresponding benefits are also very considerable.

Since the second half of the year, Galaxy Group's revenue and profit have increased several times, and the speed of technology research and development and conversion rate have accelerated rapidly, further promoting business growth.

Last month, Shangguan Buda returned to Changxing from the south, bringing another good news, industrial products finally gained a firm foothold in the Southern Dynasty and Western Liang, and the first amount of funds returned was as high as 4 million taels.

Coupled with the ready-made Northern Qi and Northwest trade routes obtained from the Liao king, foreign trade inputs began to show strong vitality, and wealth would continue to flow to the north.

According to the estimates of Galaxy Group and the Household Department, in the second half of the 18th year alone, Galaxy Group will achieve a revenue of 24 million taels and a net profit of 9.6 million taels, while the financial income of the Household Department will increase by 10 million taels over the same period last year.

You must know that the Great Wei has just experienced a major war, and more than ten provinces have been severely affected by military disasters and have been reduced and exempted from taxes to varying degrees.

However, due to the rise of Galaxy Group and its surrounding industrial enterprises, this year, the financial affairs of the northern country not only did not falter, but handed over a surprise answer.

From Emperor Hongwei to the factory workers, they were all immersed in a joyful atmosphere, which made this winter no longer seem so cold.

"Hey, Lord Zhang also uses a new stove?"

At the door of the signing room, Xu Rui looked at the director of the staff who was holding the same stove as himself, and asked in surprise.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "Yesterday, I saw that the adult's stove was very novel and chic, and I thought about it, so I took the time to inquire, and found that it was not expensive, and I just let my wife buy a few, don't say it, it's really easy to use." ”

"It's still Lord Zhang's delicate mind and he knows how to enjoy it!"

Xu Rui laughed.

Director Zhang shook his head and said: "Where is it, if you want to understand life, then you have to count Lord Shilang, which of the novelties around us didn't you bring?" Next time you have these goodies, you can't hide them! ”

The two eagerly praised each other again, and then hurriedly said goodbye, Xu Rui turned around and entered his signing room, put the stove on the table, and said in his heart that the advertisement of this thing is almost done, why will the product be advertised tomorrow?

Just thinking about it, the little official at the door quietly walked in with a brazier, first put the brazier in the corner, and then diligently made a new pot of tea for Xu Rui with hot water.

Xu Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't be busy, I have to go to the university today, and I can't drink two sips of tea." ”

Lao Li handed the teacup to Xu Rui and said with a smile: "My lord is really busy, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "I also want to be idle, but it's a pity that it's a hard life, by the way, is there any official business that needs to be solved urgently?" ”

Lao Li shook his head: "There is no official business, but there is a person who has been waiting outside early in the morning, and he wants to see you in vain." ”

"Oh? Which general came to me to ask for a debt? ”

Xu Rui said self-deprecatingly.

Lao Li shook his head: "It's not anyone's general, it's the boss of Wanfeng Qianzhuang in the city!" ”

"Wanfeng Money?"

Xu Rui frowned, thought about it carefully, and didn't find out that he had any business dealings with this money bank, and among the people he was familiar with, no one had this property under his name, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Tell him to come in."

After thinking about it, Xu Rui still gave a faint order.

Lao Li hurriedly agreed, and immediately turned around and went out to call someone, seeing that he ran so diligently, most likely because he took the benefits of others.

Xu Rui smiled dumbly and shook his head.

After a while, a man in his fifties, with a fat head and big ears, timidly walked into Xu Rui's signing room, and before he even saw Xu Rui's appearance, he knelt down with a "poof".

"Wu Heng, the boss of the villain Wanfeng Money Village, has come to make amends to the adult, the villain really doesn't know that it is Tianbao Pavilion, and he really has no intention of offending the adult, and please forgive the adult, open uh-huh!"

Xu Rui was slightly stunned when he heard this: "What are you talking about?" ”

Wu Heng thought that Xu Rui was fighting with him, and he was extremely scared in his heart, and he was dancing with his hands, and he didn't know what he was going to say, but he kept kowtowing and admitting his mistakes.

Xu Rui finally understood from his intermittent words, it seemed that this person's money bank received the Tianbao Pavilion, and he was ashamed to empty the Tianbao Pavilion, but naturally he was beaten by the "security guard".

The thug who was beaten was indignant, and originally wanted to take someone back to the field immediately, but when he went back and asked, he found out that the store that beat them was actually a newly opened branch of Tianbao Pavilion.

The thugs who were beaten at this time were suddenly frightened, and when the matter reached this Boss Wu, he was also so frightened that he didn't close his eyes all night, and he hurried to Xu Rui to apologize as soon as it was dawn.

This was originally a trivial matter, and it didn't cause any losses, Xu Rui naturally wouldn't bother with a money boss, and sent him away with a smile and a few words of comfort to Boss Wu.

However, after sending the trembling boss away, Xu Rui's face immediately sank, and he ordered his subordinates: "Go and invite An Ge." ”

Half an hour later, An Ge came to Xu Rui's signing room and made the matter clear.

"Actually, it's a joke."

An Ge said.

Xu Rui was stunned: "Joke? How so? ”

An Ge said: "Things have to start with Yang Huaizhen, the eldest young master of the Yang family, he gambled in Changxing Gambling House and owed a lot of debts, and the familiar money bank knew what kind of goods he was, and he didn't dare to lend him money."

Only this newly opened Wanfeng Qian Zhuang is unknown, so I heard that he was the son of Jingwu Hou, so he borrowed him 60,000 taels of silver at a time, and when they figured out that this Jingwu Hou was not the other Jingwu Hou, it was too late, and this Yang Gongzi had already lost 60,000 taels cleanly.

You know that there are many ways for Qianzhuang to force people to repay money, all of which are indiscriminate routines, few people can bear it, and they are forced to be anxious, Yang Huaizhen said that there is an industry in his house that has been occupied, and let them go directly to the door to collect it.

Naturally, he had some background in being able to open a money bank, and originally thought that as long as there was a reason to get the money back, even if the bitter master came to the door afterwards, they would be able to push the matter to Yang Huaizhen, so he let him lead the way to collect the money.

It just so happens that our newly opened Tianbao Pavilion branch in Xicheng has not yet been listed, and these money village thugs don't know where they have gone, and they will be smashed and robbed as soon as they enter the door.

The shopkeeper of the semicolon Liu is a veteran who has followed the master for decades, how can he allow them to make a mistake, and immediately ordered a few old departments and beat this group of people up.

That's about how it went. ”

Xu Rui's brows furrowed more and more when he heard this: "Let you help the Yang family, have you been there?" ”

An Ge sighed: "Of course I have been there, I have sent them nearly 100,000 taels before and after in the past six months, but the three sons of the Yang family are either bad gamblers or playing with women, and they spend a lot of money, but their lives are still as depressed as before, it is really a bottomless pit." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "I didn't expect my father-in-law to be a hero, but he gave birth to these three unsuccessful dogs, how sad!" But the question is, how dare Yang Huaizhen let people go to Tianbao Pavilion to ask for accounts? ”

A trace of anger flashed on An Ge's face and said, "He claimed that everything you had was given by the old marquis, so at least half of your net worth now belongs to the Yang family!" ”

Xu Rui was stunned: "Have you kept this person?" ”

An Ge nodded: "I'm afraid that he will go out to make trouble again, so I will stay in the courtyard for the time being, and serve good food and drink." ”

Xu Rui nodded: "Well done, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, don't let him out for the time being, in addition, you should be careful during this time, I am not sure if there is any conspiracy behind this." ”

An Ge's face turned grim when he heard this: "Young Master, do you think someone wants to be unfavorable to us?" ”

Xu Rui said: "It's not good to say, it's just a feeling, in short, you have to be careful in everything." ”
