Chang Xi, who was signing a contract with a foreigner, felt that there was a gaze looking straight at her, although this gaze was not malicious, but with the meaning of inquiry, which made her frown quite unhappily, isn't there someone coming to play the field again? Xie Ming can't handle it?

She turned her head to look at that gaze coldly, and saw a man who smiled and nodded to her, this man was so familiar, she immediately remembered the fan that fell from the sky, and instantly remembered that the other party had a very interesting name and word, Yuan Tailiang.

It's just, how did this person end up here?

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't show them on her face, as if goodbye was a very ordinary thing.

She first nodded politely to the other party in response, but her eyes searched for explanation, and she suddenly saw him standing with a middle-aged man, with a humble and respectful attitude, and this middle-aged man had an official taste, and when she noticed this, she looked moved, why did she attract the official master at this time?

But soon she understood that there were a lot of foreigners gathered here today, and the government was afraid that something would happen, so it was reasonable to attract the official master, but this official master seemed to have a good official position, just look at Xie Ming's attitude.

As for what identity that Yuan Tailiang will be?

She soon looked at Yuan Tailiang again, and saw that this young man was talking and laughing happily with the middle-aged man with a strong official taste, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she immediately squinted, Yuan Tailiang either had an official position similar to that of this middle-aged man, or the background was very hard, or he couldn't talk to his boss like this....

Whatever the case, this Yuan Tailiang is a person who should not be underestimated.

Before, I didn't want to provoke the other party because I was afraid of causing trouble, but now, it seems that she can try to deal with the other party, after all, she is doing overseas trade, and it is impossible not to deal with people in the government.

Because of the tea bricks, I don't know how much the city has to pay taxes.

Thinking about it this way, it is not necessarily a bad thing to meet the official master now.

So, after she signed a contract with the foreigner who was currently negotiating, she smiled and asked Mama Luo to lead the little maid to bring some refreshments that had already been prepared to entertain everyone, this time happened to be the time of afternoon tea, although there is no concept of afternoon tea in the West now, but it does not prevent her from announcing the intermission on this ground.

Shopkeeper Guo and the others also found out about the arrival of Master Zhang and his party at this time, and immediately showed some panic, and hurriedly got up and went over to salute, for fear of being accused of being rude.

Chang Xi arranged everything, and then adjusted his clothes and went over there.

At this time, Lord Zhang and Yuan Hao were surrounded by people in the center, especially Yuan Tailiang, after learning that he was the newly appointed Lord of the City Shipping Division, Guo Shopkeeper and others were even more enthusiastic, and they had a good relationship with this department, and it would be much more convenient for them to sell their goods to foreigners.

When Chang Xi walked over, he happened to hear the shopkeeper laugh and say, "Lord Yuan is really young and promising, I really admire it."

This sycophant is not too clever, but Yuan Hao still shook the folding fan lightly and smiled, anyway, he is a new official, and he is not in a hurry to put that fire.

The old man of the shopkeeper Guo is not as flattering as the shopkeeper and others, but his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and the corner of his eye saw that Chang Xi had already come, he hurriedly made way for Chang Xi, and whispered to Chang Xi to mention the identity of Yuan Hao, signaling Chang Xi not to make a mistake in front of the official master.

Chang Xi's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard that Yuan Hao was the secretary of the city, this official position is good, it was really dozing off and someone sent a pillow, she immediately gave the shopkeeper Guo a reassuring look.

Yuan Hao had already noticed Chang Xi when she came over, so when she came over to salute, he smiled and shook his fan and said, "Chang Niangzi, we meet again."

Xie Ming, who was talking to Master Zhang, heard this sentence and hurriedly asked, "Brother Tailiang, when did you meet Chang Niangzi?"

Yuan Hao smiled, "Just a few days ago, I inadvertently disturbed Chang Niangzi, and I met this time." After a pause, he turned his head to look at Chang Xi, "Chang Niangzi, huh?"

Chang Xi smiled and nodded, and responded generously, "I didn't know it was Lord Yuan that day, and I ask Lord Yuan to forgive me." She didn't mention that she didn't introduce her last name at all, after all, there was no point in talking about it now.

Xie Ming looked left and right, and didn't understand what kind of official tone these two people were playing, but he felt that he still needed to tell his ninth brother about this matter.

If Chang Xi knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh at naivety.

Lord Zhang also looked at Chang Xi at this time, this looks even younger up close, the woman who has not yet reached twenty Fanghua actually set up such a big stall, he can't believe it, if it weren't for Xie Ming's repeated emphasis that Chang Xi is the person in charge, he would have reluctantly believed one or two.

This woman is too young.

Yuan Hao saw Lord Zhang's thick eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, this was because he didn't look down on Chang's as a young woman, so he coughed lightly and attracted Lord Zhang's attention back to himself, and then smiled, "Master Zhang, let me introduce you to you, this is Chang Niangzi."

Chang Xi didn't know what kind of official this middle-aged man was, but he still stepped forward to salute with the idea of not offending people.

Master Zhang smiled and said, "I just heard my nephew talk about you, but I didn't expect Chang Niangzi to be much younger than this official thought."

When Yuan Hao heard this, he shook his fan a few more times, and then looked at Chang Xi, he could only help her get here, and the rest depended on herself.

Some of the officials Chang Xi dealt with in her previous life were much higher than this Lord Zhang's official position, and she was already very familiar with this deputy official tone, so she was not stunned at all, and smiled and saluted again, "I don't know if Lord Zhang has ever heard of the saying that it is necessary to do things as soon as possible when you are famous?"

This is very bold, Lord Zhang originally had a slight complaint about Chang Xi making such a big move, what can such a young person understand? What's more, it's still a woman?

But now he doesn't think so, the woman who dares to talk to him like this is definitely not a timid rat.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"The younger you are, the more motivated you are, Lord Zhang doesn't deny it, right? The younger you are, the more energetic you are, and Master Zhang doesn't object to it, right? Youth is the greatest capital, after all, don't wait for idleness, the head of a young man is white, empty and sad."

Lord Zhang didn't expect it to be just a question, but he waited for her to have a long list of replies, and this woman's mouth was good.

Yuan Hao clapped his hands and said, "Don't wait for a good sentence, the young man's head is white, empty and sad, Chang Niangzi said the voice of many young people."

Chang Xi was embarrassed, and she was in a hurry, so she used this famous sentence, there are no two songs in this era, so there is no source for this noun, but she still can't use it with peace of mind, "It's just that I've heard someone say it, just write it down, so that Lord Zhang and Lord Yuan can laugh."

The shopkeeper Guo and others who were watching next to him, heard Chang Xi say this, and then looked at his white beard, and suddenly felt the urgency of time and the fact that he had achieved nothing in half his life, and he was really a white boy, empty and sad.

Master Zhang actually has a little resonance, he is interested in the hard work and momentum of his youth, which is why he has reached this official position, but it is not easy to make an inch.

Thinking about it like this, his prejudice against Chang Xi only went a little bit, and then asked about the origin of this auction.

Chang Xi has long been accustomed to answering *** these questions, so he began to introduce the origin of the tea brick with a serious face, and why he came up with this idea, and then how to turn the idea into reality, and then step by step to achieve today's situation.

Her words were concise and powerful, which made her invisibly dilute the role of women, and also made Zhang Daren and others really listen, and their thoughts also followed her.

Then it developed to the side hall to drink tea, and Cha Xi directly asked Xiao Tao to make a bowl of tea brick tea for Lord Zhang and others to taste.

No matter how much you say, it's better to drink it in your mouth, and it's more impactful.

"So, tea bricks are a good thing." Master Zhang, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded.

Chang Xi nodded and said directly, "It can increase the export of goods, in other words, it can earn more silver taels for foreigners for our Daewoo Dynasty, Lord Zhang, so why don't we do it?" In addition, the construction of our workshops and the recruitment of workers can contribute to the economy of Yiyang City."

What she didn't say, both Master Zhang and Yuan Hao could think that with money, they could do a lot of things, this is one of them, and the second is naturally political achievements, if they can get more money, they will naturally be able to get a number in the emperor's place, so why worry that this official can't be promoted?

again

There is also a rule, if you can hire more poor people to work and give them a bowl of rice to eat, naturally no one will rebel, and the spirit of the people under the rule will be much better, then it will also be beneficial to their political achievements.

Thinking of this, Master Zhang's gaze at Chang Xi no longer implied prejudice and disdain, but calmed down a lot, "In your opinion, this is only a good thing and no harm?"

"What the women see is only shallow, everything in the world has two sides, and the women dare not make conclusions easily."

Hearing this, the people present fell into deep thought, at present, tea bricks are a profitable business, they really didn't think of anything wrong, so in the end, it also came down to Chang Xi's idea of leaving room for speaking, after all, no one would be stupid enough to talk too much, and Chang Xi has always left them with the impression of being shrewd and capable.

So, this topic can be stopped at this point, Lord Zhang didn't linger too much, and after knowing that Chang Xi's matter would not cause trouble, he didn't plan to bother with it.

Yuan Hao said before leaving, "Chang Niangzi, I still have some questions, I'll find you tomorrow to solve my doubts."

Chang Xi nodded, this Yuan Tailiang was smarter than she thought, and it just so happened that she also wanted to talk to him in detail, so she readily agreed.

Xie Ming's eyes flashed, and he was determined to make a small report after he went back.

After this episode, Chang Xi continued to preside over the signing of contracts with the remaining foreigners, and was busy until it was dark.

Chang Xi's busyness was gratifying, but Master Shen's busyness was empty, and in the end he could only go home in disgrace.

Everyone in the house was cautious, not daring to upset him, but he was still so angry that he smashed the study, and when he saw the shopkeeper Shen hurriedly coming in, he said angrily, "Where did you die today?"
