Chapter 496: Go out of the city to seek talents, visit the door
Chen Sanlang's desire to leave the city was not improvised, just to avoid Huang Mingrong. In the current situation, there are many ways and means for him not to accept the holy decree, and going out of the city is just one of them.
The day before yesterday, Lu Jing asked his son to speak, saying that the Meng family was back!
This news is no small feat.
The Meng family is one of the few gates in Yongzhou, and at its peak, it was a rich state. Yongzhou family, second to the first, refers to the Guo family, generations of officials, full of powerful people, headed by Guo Hongzheng, the Yongzhou assassin history, and the Meng family, doing business, rice, grain and cloth, shops all over the world......
Yongzhou was in turmoil, and the Guo family ran to the capital in panic like a lost dog, and the Meng family was no better, but they did not go north, but ran to the bordering Qingzhou. They have been in business for hundreds of years and have side houses in every state.
It's just that Yongzhou has always been the origin of the Meng family and the ancestral home. No, I heard that the barbarian army was destroyed and Yongzhou stabilized, so I asked people to come back to check and find out the information.
At first glance, it seems that it is not suitable for Chen Sanlang's current employment choice, but the Meng family's business channels and various material reserves are what Yongzhou is most eager to obtain now.
Yongzhou is in ruins, if it is completely dependent on self-renewal, it is too difficult, the current limited resources can only support the basic development of Laoshan and the state and county, and other prefectures and cities are at a loss. Chen Sanlang is unwilling to watch the huge territory be wasted, the situation is delicate, and the time is not waiting.
Therefore, Chen Sanlang needs the Meng family's line.
Lu Qingyuan introduced everything about the Meng family in great detail.
At that time, Chen Sanlang once asked: "Why did the people of the Meng family come back but did not enter the city, but stayed outside the city?"
The ancestral house of the Meng family is in the city, covering a wide area, second only to the Guo family, but the difference is that the Meng family's house has been seriously damaged, and due to some geographical problems, it is still deserted and unoccupied. According to the general situation, since the people of the Meng family have returned, they should go into the city to see the house.
Lu Qingyuan thought for a while before replying: "Maybe I have doubts, so I don't dare to enter." ”
Chen Sanlang thought so.
Yongzhou has changed its owner, but it cannot be said that it is peaceful and harmonious. The people of the Meng family don't know Chen Sanlang, and many situations are also hearsay, it is very normal to have doubts, and they are not sure what Chen Sanlang's attitude is.
Chen Sanlang didn't care, he had a lot of places to rely on the Meng family, since the other party wanted to show his attitude, then go out of the city.
Inside and outside the city, the Meng family has a lot of real estate. Of course, after being poisoned by the barbarian army, everything was messed up. The current property rights system is based on the dynastic, and once the dynasty collapses, the property rights system will suffer extremely serious shocks.
This feeling of floating without reliance is really unreassuring.
Messily separated from people, relatives, and lost their roots, nothing more than that.
In the morning, the morning breeze was slight, and Chen Sanlang went out of the city in plain clothes. He was accompanied by Hong Tiezhu, as well as ten Xuanwu guards, and a few Zhou Hezhi Lu Jing.
Lu Jing is the person who pulls the line, Zhou Hezhi, as the head of the household, has always helped with some business and economic affairs, and he is useful for himself.
After a short walk, we arrived at the lakeside manor.
This is a courtyard of the Meng family, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant. But after several lootings, now there is an empty shelf - even the shelf is full of holes.
In such a place, if no one cleans up and repairs it, there will be no one to live in at all.
Now, the owner of this place has returned, and some people have gotten up early to do their work, tinkering, and making a "poof" banging sound.
In the kitchen, there is smoke curling up, and breakfast is being cooked.
When he arrived at the gate of the manor, Chen Sanlang turned over and dismounted.
Lu Jing hurriedly ran to the front and greeted someone. Since returning to the state and county, he seems to have rejuvenated a second spring, full of vitality, busy, and very active. Led by him, he united the people of several families, and it was the team of Meihua Valley that established a "Fuxing Society", which was mainly responsible for local friendship, guiding the people's hearts and other miscellaneous matters.
This position is not private or private, but with the permission of Chen Sanlang, it was sealed by Xuanwu.
Chen Sanlang entered the state and county, and by killing the Shi Po army, he had excellent prestige and won popularity, but there were still many things that needed someone to help deal with them. The local family of Yongzhou, headed by Lu Jing, came out and played a role.
The bigger the plate, the bigger the stall, and the more things can be held.
Chen Sanlang would never mind bringing many forces together, because this is a necessary stage of development.
Now, there are new forces to absorb.
Soon, a person heard the news and went out to greet him.
This is a middle-aged man, dressed simply, but clean, very good, a round face is also elegant, the face is full of a spring breeze-like smile, people see it, suddenly feel warm, it is a typical "harmony and wealth".
This demeanor and look, I don't know how many times I can pick up people and treat things, so I can come out of the experience, and I am really a child of the merchant family.
"In Xia Meng Qingyan, I've seen Lord Chen!"
The middle-aged man came to him and saluted respectfully.
Chen Sanlang gave a handful of hands and said with a smile: "Meng Yuan doesn't have to be polite. ”
That Meng Qingyan hurriedly said: "I am just a housekeeper in the Meng family, and the adults can call me 'Butler Meng' directly." ”
Chen Sanlang listened and nodded slightly. He had already learned from Lu Jingkou that it was only a housekeeper of the Meng family who returned to Yongzhou this time, not the big names of the patriarchs. Before the situation is clear, where will they come back easily? However, this housekeeper has a high status in the Meng family, is very shrewd, and has a lot of decision-making power. It's okay to talk to him about a lot of things.
After some pleasantries, everyone entered the manor and went to the hall to sit down.
Meng Qingyan said apologetically: "Lord Chen, the manor here has been devastated by the war, and although it has been repaired in the past few days, it is still unbearable, please don't dislike it." ”
Chen Sanlang raised his eyes and swept around, and said with a smile: "The situation is like this, you can cover your head with tiles, why ask for too much? ”
These words contained a lot of information, and Meng Qingyan listened to it, and his heart moved. When he saw Chen Sanlang for the first time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the other party's youth, but he was quickly relieved. As a businessman, in addition to being well-informed in business, he is also extremely sensitive to the transmission of news, and before returning to Yongzhou, many intelligence information about Chen Sanlang was searched and transmitted, and he was familiar with it. There is no doubt that the person who can enter Yongzhou, even if his opponent is not very good, is enough to make people put away their contempt and not take it lightly.
After Meng Qingyan returned, he did not stay at the manor every day to repair it, but looked around, and saw that the fields were full of strange people, and the peasants were in an endless stream, and it was a busy scene......
And so on, all of which are amazing.
You know, how long has it been since the war was recovered?
This is evident in the people's livelihood and government affairs.
At this time, Chen Sanlang suddenly asked again: "Steward Meng, how are you doing when you move to Qingzhou?"
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan's face showed a bitter color.
