On a spring morning in Queensland, the sun is shining, the air is filled with a faint fragrance, the birds are chirping and jumping in the branches, and the warm earth is full of life.

Everyone in the Northern Yunnan League got up relatively early today, because there were a lot of finishing matters to deal with today, and they had to rush to Xuanji Mountain before noon, otherwise they would have to arrive in the middle of the night.

Xuanjizi held the first formal meeting since the establishment of the Northern Yunnan League, and it was the first time that the four factions of Qingfeng, Sikong, Tianhe, and Nutao participated in this kind of meeting, so naturally there was a lot to learn.

Because of the limited time, Xuanjizi did not convene everyone for a discussion today, but quickly arranged the work content.

Xuanjizi appointed Yi Prisoner as the president of the Queensland Branch of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce, responsible for transforming the Royal Queensland Xiuzhen Trading House of the former Nineteen Princes and adding ordinary trading business.

For the employees of the former commercial bank, find out the original work status, clarify the identity and origin, and dismiss all employees who have a relationship with the former store manager or have a poor working state, and report to the government for handling if the circumstances are serious.

Prisoner Yi recently sat in the Queensland branch of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce, re-recruiting clerks, associates and guards, and at the same time, Master Li, one of the four masters, rushed to Queensland City to clean up the original accounts and report the truth here to the Nineteen Princes.

At present, Master Li and Liu San are leading ten backbones of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce to rush from Xuanji Mountain to Queensland Mansion at night.

Xuanjizi asked each of the remaining four sects of the Northern Yunnan League to send two additional disciples to Queensland City to support the work of the Queensland Branch, and at the same time learn the operation of the Chamber of Commerce and the rules of trade in Xiuzhen.

At the same time, Sun Shui and Master Sun also rushed to Jinzhu Mansion from another way with ten backbone members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the four sects of the Northern Yunnan League also sent disciples to support Jinzhu Mansion in a timely manner.

The rest of the disciples need to record what they have seen and heard along the way, and within ten days, they will report what they have seen and what they have seen and what they have learned.

Wu Zhizi suggested that He Juncai be hired as the deputy treasurer of the Queensland branch, so that he could share some of the workload of the Yi prisoners, and Xuan Jizi thought this suggestion was good and readily approved.

The meeting ended neatly, and Xuanji Zi took Tianhuo to the Daolu Division to visit the Venerable Qingquan, and some affairs of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce still needed the support of the Daolu Division.

Wu Idiot was going to He Tieniu's house, picking up He Tieniu over, and by the way, he would finish the matter of hiring He Juncai.

The rest of the people were going to go to the market to take a look around, purchase some materials and bring them back to Shanmen, and at the same time comb and record the current mainstream ordinary commodities and cultivation materials in detail, so as to determine the category and quantity of the main products sold by the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce this year.

Everyone agreed to return at the beginning of the hour, and then they scattered and went busy.

......

Panlongfang, He family.

He Tieniu knelt in the courtyard of his house, with a small package beside him, containing his change of clothes and some personal sundries.

Because the He family is not wealthy, and children like He Tieniu who are still growing up, most people will not make too many clothes, as long as there are two changes of clothes, so He Tieniu's luggage is not much.

He Juncai said that he was unwell and asked for leave to rest at home today, but he had been hiding in the house since the morning and refused to come out, He Zhoushi stood in the yard with He Tieniu, and he couldn't wait for He Juncai to come out.

He Zhou's tried to drag He Tieniu up from the ground several times, but He Tieniu just refused, he knelt on the ground without saying a word, and his body was straight.

Finally, He Zhou couldn't help it, she shouted into the room: "Juncai, come out and meet Tie Niu, he has been kneeling for more than an hour, it is cold on the ground just in spring, don't make the child sick, and it's not a matter if you have been hiding." ”

He Juncai still refused to come out, but a very cute little girl lifted the cotton curtain on the door and ran out of the house, only three or four years old, holding a small cotton mat in her hand, and stumbled over.

She handed the mat in her hand to He Tieniu and said, "Brother, on the mat, it's cold on the ground." ”

He Tieniu took the mat and did not put it on, but picked it up: "Nannan, my brother has something to go out for a while, you have to listen to Abba and Grandma in the future, do you hear?"

The little girl stretched out her hand, touched He Tieniu's face and said, "Brother, why are you crying, is it too cold on the ground? Then get up quickly! Abba is also crying in the house, why are you all crying?" ”

He Zhou's eyes were red, and he took his daughter from He Tieniu's hand, opened the curtain and walked into the house.

There were a few not-so-violent arguments in the room, and it could be heard that both sides were restrained, and they were not really angry and quarrelsome.

In the end, He Juncai opened the curtain a little embarrassed and came out, his eyes were a little red and swollen, and his left ear was also a little red and swollen, as if he had just been screwed up.

As soon as He Juncai went out, he saw He Tieniu kneeling upright in the middle of the courtyard, and he didn't feel a pain in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help He Tieniu up.

He Tieniu did not get up, but took a step back on his knees, and respectfully kowtowed to He Juncai three times, He Juncai did not get out of the way, but accepted He Tieniu's three rings in a solid manner.

He Juncai sighed and said, "Tie Niu get up, go to the house for breakfast, and after eating, you will go to the Green Lake Inn." ”

He Tieniu was stunned suddenly, raised his head and said in surprise: "Really, second uncle, did you promise me to go to the Xuanji faction?"

He Juncai saw that He Tieniu was so happy, so he didn't get angry, and slapped He Tieniu's head a few times, scolding while beating: "You little rabbit cub, I have raised you for more than ten years, and some immortal master will hook your soul away, I knew that I would throw you kid directly into the green lake at the beginning, and it would be a hundred!"

He Tieniu didn't dodge, he knew that He Juncai was willing to beat himself, so he acquiesced in this matter, and when He Juncai opened it, He Tieniu stood up and shouted timidly: "Second uncle." ”

He Juncai raised his head and looked at this nephew, who was more than half a head taller than himself, and said in a muffled voice: "What are you doing?"

He Tieniu took a step forward, hugged He Juncai's neck, hugged him tightly, He Juncai's body stiffened, and then relaxed, he patted He Tieniu's slightly trembling body with both hands and said: "It's okay, kid, I went to the Xuanji Sect to practice well with the master, I heard that a little immortal master of the Xuanji Sect won the championship of this foundation building conference yesterday, which shows that this sect is very powerful, you read them right." ”

He Tieniu choked up and said, "Second uncle, I will work hard to cultivate and strive to come back to see you, the second aunt and the girl as soon as possible." ”

He Juncai's tears also fell: "If you go to the Xuanji faction, you will cultivate hard, don't think about us all day, you must cultivate a famous hall, and don't come back to see us before you learn to fly." ”

He Juncai didn't know how to divide the level of cultivation, but he felt that in order to cultivate to become an immortal, being able to fly must be a prerequisite, so he put forward such a request.

He Tieniu said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I asked if you want to fly, you can do it after ten years of penance, and when I return from my studies, I must repay your nurturing grace well, and I will see you get married with my own eyes." ”

He Juncai gently pushed He Tieniu away and said, "Quickly wipe away your tears, let's go in for dinner, after eating, you can go to the Green Lake Inn quickly, don't delay." ”

He Tieniu suddenly grabbed He Juncai again and whispered: "Second uncle, after I leave, the family will become deserted when there are fewer people, you and the second aunt hurry up and give me another little nephew, so that you will not be lonely." ”

He Juncai couldn't help laughing, kicked He Tieniu's ass twice, and said: "Hey, Tie Niu is a young man, and he knows these things, but it's a pity that the Xuanji faction is a Taoist sect, don't want to marry a wife and have children in your life, if you regret it, you can regret it now." ”

When He Tieniu heard this, he suddenly felt that he had really missed this question, and he felt a little distressed.

At this time, a thick male voice said: "Brother He, don't scare Tie Niu, although our Xuanji Sect respects Dao Jun as the ancestor, but it does not require its disciples to keep the full precepts, of course Tie Niu can get married and have children, but when the early cultivation is weak, it is still necessary to maintain a child." ”

"Master!"

"Five Immortal Masters!"

He Juncai and He Tieniu hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, the martial idiot was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and they hurriedly came out to greet them.

He Tieniu blushed and said, "Master, is it that I am too late, so you have to come to me again." ”

Wu Idiot smiled and said, "I'll take a look, first, I'm afraid that you can't bear the second uncle's family, and second, I have something to discuss with your second uncle." ”

He Juncai hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Five Immortal Master, you are too polite, if there is anything, you can just tell it, and what else to discuss." ”

Wu Idiot said: "May I ask Brother He who is now working in Cuihu Fang, how is his monthly salary?"

Although He Juncai wondered why the martial idiot asked this, he still quickly replied: "I am the head of the Fang Ding in Cuihu Fang, with a monthly salary of nine taels of silver and ninety catties of white rice, one day off on ten days, and a double salary at the end of the year, half a horse of white cloth and half a horse of colored cloth." ”

Wu Idiot said: "That's about one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year, I wonder if Brother He has ever thought about changing jobs?"

He Juncai said curiously: "Do the Five Immortal Masters have any work for me?"

Wu Idiot nodded and said, "Well, our Xuanji Chamber of Commerce Queensland Branch will open in the near future, and Brother He will be specially hired as the deputy treasurer of the Queensland Branch, responsible for the trade of general goods." ”

He Juncai said with some disbelief: "Could it be true that the rumor that your Xuanji faction wants to fully represent the business of the Nineteen Princes?"

Wu Idiot smiled and said, "Well, that's right, and we also got a promise from the Daolu Division and the Heavenly Dao Sect to provide shelter for the business of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce within ten years. ”

He Juncai said: "This means that the Xuanji faction has a strong backer in the secular world and the cultivation world, I really didn't expect the Xuanji faction to have such a hard background, it seems that the future of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce is immeasurable!"

Wu Idiot couldn't help but praise: "Brother He is really extraordinary, and he can see so deeply." The deputy shopkeeper of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce adopts an annual salary system, with an annual guaranteed annual salary of 1,500 taels of silver, and enjoys a bonus of half of the dry shares, and I have brought 2,000 taels of silver for the settling-in allowance. ”

He Juncai thought that he had heard it wrong, rubbed his hands and said: "Five Immortal Master, don't tease me, how many catties and taels I have, I still know very well, I heard what I heard just now from the chatter of several big households in Cuihufang, I can't do it, I really can't do it, I haven't done business, thank you for your love." ”

Wu Idiot said: "We believe that we will not mistake your character and ability, as for not being able to do business, don't worry, my eighth junior brother will be here to preside over the overall situation for half a year, and he will teach you relevant business knowledge, as long as you study carefully, you will be able to get started soon." ”

He Juncai listened to his heartbeat, Fang Ding's work is indeed not a long-term solution, and now the conditions offered by the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce are so good, and he has already given three thousand taels of silver before and after, which is equivalent to his net income for twenty years, not to mention that there is an annual salary and dry stock dividends in the back, which is simply too tempting.

He Juncai said: "Five Immortal Masters, did you give me such a benefit for the sake of Tie Niu's face?"

Wu idiot Zhengse said: "The reason for the iron bull is only partial, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, but more importantly, we take a fancy to your astuteness and skill, and we feel that this position is very suitable for you, so I will talk to you." ”

He Juncai felt very moved, after so many years, someone finally recognized his ability again, what else is there to say, He Juncai hugged his fists and said: "Since you immortal masters look up to me He Juncai so much, dare not fight to the death!"

Wu Idiot was satisfied and handed He Juncai a silver ticket and one: "This is a silver ticket of two thousand taels, you give it to your sister-in-law to settle down, this wooden card is my token, you can take this wooden card to the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce today and tomorrow to visit my eighth junior brother, and he will make specific arrangements for you." ”

He Juncai took these two things excitedly, and his mouth was grateful.

Wu Idiot said: "Brother He, since everything is settled here, can I take Tie Niu away." ”

He Juncai hurriedly said: "Yes, Tie Niu should go with your master, you have to cultivate well, don't worry about your family, the second uncle will take care of your second aunt and Nannan." ”

He Tieniu's eyes turned red again, and he shouted into the house: "Second aunt, you can come out too, my nephew will kowtow to you three times and leave." ”

He Zhoushi came out wiping his tears, handed a package to He Tieniu and said: "Tieniu, here is a new set of clothes, two pairs of shoes and socks, and some food, because the time is short, the second aunt only has time to buy these for you, don't dislike it." ”

He Tieniu knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to the second uncle and second aunt, took the package, turned his head and walked out of the He house with the martial idiot, tears couldn't stop flowing.

And He Juncai's family of three watched Wu Idiot and He Tieniu leave at the door, and refused to return to the house for a long time. 8)
