On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, Li You woke up from his sleep and lazily opened his eyes. But he saw a pair of big eyes staring at him very close to him. The owner of the big eyes was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking.
There are many things to do in the New Year, so it¡¯s hard to stay in bed. Li You gently patted her round buttocks under the quilt and said, "I will wait for you, sir. I will get up."
Xiaozhu blushed and said, "I'll put on my clothes first. Master, please turn your back."
Li You was speechless again. In his opinion, women should be shy before and bold later. Why is it that Xiaozhu is completely the other way around? It seemed like I had a shot of blood last night, but now I feel shy.
After the Taoist demon disappeared, Mr. Li couldn't help but smile evilly and said: "Master, I just like to see the little lady wearing clothes!"
Xiaozhu felt aggrievedly from the bedside to her belly skirt, turned around and started to put it on, leaving only her smooth back for the master to see.
Her heart felt like a deer pounding, and when she recalled last night, she didn¡¯t know what happened. She seemed to be too happy at that time, and she went crazy. She was so crazy that she was so ashamed. Wouldn't she let the master misunderstand her as a bad woman? The one last night was definitely not her
Xiaozhu put on her clothes and started to help the master to dress and wash again, but she always felt that the master looked strange, as if he had been laughing at her shamelessness last night.
We can¡¯t do this, we must find a way to deviate! Xiaozhu thought about it and finally thought of something, and quickly said: "Master, do you still remember Mr. Zhou's family next door?"
"Mr. Zhou from Taichang Temple? What's wrong?" Li Daguan is a high-minded person and really doesn't care much about the powerless ordinary Beijing official family next door. His impression is that he is just a sixth-rank official in Taichang Temple.
"I met her wife when we were giving each other gifts a few years ago. She heard that you have a good relationship with the officials, and she wanted to ask you to help unblock the joints."
It turned out that he wanted to ask for his help to say a few words to the official department, but Li You refused without thinking too much: "This matter is not easy, and the imperial court's employment plan is definitely not something I can interfere with. Don't get involved in this kind of trouble in the future."
It¡¯s nothing more than a small favor for someone below level seven. The promotion and transfer of officials above the seventh rank are all favors, which cannot be easily used and wasted on this friendless and useless Lord Zhou. Totally not worth it. No matter how much money he offers.
Xiaozhu has followed Mr. Li for several years and is very clear about his tone and mood, "Sir, please listen to what I have to say. It turns out that being an official in the capital was not interesting for Mr. Zhou. His future was not promising, so he did not want to stay in the capital and planned to go abroad. I also wanted to choose a good place, so I asked the master. As long as the master is willing to help him, the house next door will be given to him. "
"Really?" Li You's expression changed. This is a good opportunity.
If you talk about giving money as a gift, Li Daguan, who has become a big business tycoon in the capital in just one month, will not be interested, but if you give him the house next door as a thank you. He became very interested. There is a lot of money in this neighborhood, and the space at home is small and very uncomfortable. If we could annex the house next door. That couldn't be better.
"This is well done!" Mr. Li immediately praised Xiaozhu and said, "It is often said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Since the neighbors need help, it is also appropriate for the ancient roads to be more warm."
Xiaozhu also did not hesitate to praise his master, "What you said is so good! So I replied to her!"
"Do things, do things, and convey words. Don't belittle yourself. The message you sent this time is worth twenty taels." Li You taught his new woman earnestly.
Xiaozhu nodded solemnly, clenched his fists to express his determination: "The slave family must be useful people in the future, and will not embarrass the master!"
Li You stroked the little girl's head and asked kindly: "Have you ever read all of the Thousand-Character Essay?"
Speaking of this, Han Xiaozhu looked miserable, looked down at his toes and replied: "There are not many left, only **hundred words left"
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. This is generally the case during the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival of Jinghe's tenth year passed with excitement day by day.
For Li Daguan, his impression of this Spring Festival is that he is comfortable and at ease. Without an official position, he has less to suffer from the things that "people can't help but do in the world". For example, the New Year's Day gathering, the first lunar month sacrificial ceremony in the suburbs, such as the first lunar month fifteenth
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li You could no longer take any time off, and he wasted no time in reorganizing his business. After the New Year, there will definitely be a revival. Before the revival, you must smooth out your money-making business. Otherwise, when you become an official in the future, you will not be able to do business in person due to the rules.
On the bank side, after defrauding hundreds of thousands of silver deposits from Wu Anbo, it has the foundation to grow bigger. After the beginning of spring, goods from other places will gradually arrive in the capital. Merchants in the capital who lack capital have reached the peak period of borrowing money from banks to do business, and their bank accounts have great potential.
The other thing is to wait for Jin Wanwan to arrive in the capital.After discussing various matters, a date was agreed upon to open banknote exchange between the capital and Yangzhou. This was the first step in laying out the world.
As for the Taisheng Coal Shop, it was considered a small business compared with the bank account. It was just a windfall that Li You got from hunting rabbits. But after all, it is an industry with stable demand and a steady stream of money, so we cannot give up.
Li You reorganized the coal shop. Taisheng Coal Shop was upgraded to the main store, and shopkeeper Gao became the general shopkeeper. The other six shops with 50% shares seized by force existed as branches of partnership operations. The shares were transferred from Li You to the main store, and one person from the former Taisheng Coal Shop's accounting clerk was sent to serve as the shopkeeper or second person. Shopkeeper.
Of course, reorganization is not as simple as changing the name. There will naturally be new ways of doing business. Li Daguan ordered shopkeeper Guo Gao that in the future, all branches should not purchase coal directly from coal kiln owners. Instead, the main store would purchase coal in large quantities with the support of banks, and then distribute it to various branches, and then the branches would sell it to street vendors. The scattered traders and common people in the alley.
??According to shopkeeper Gao¡¯s estimate, these coal shops combined can sell 20 to 30 million kilograms of coal in a normal year, and it is not a big problem to earn 30,000 taels of silver.
??Leaving aside the bright prospects, there is a problem right now. Shopkeeper Gao Da reported: "The coal that has been hoarded from various households in recent days has been sold at a price of two cents per catty. Now, although the price can no longer be maintained and there are faint signs of falling, there is not much left and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. . I made more than 20,000 taels of cash"
"Very good!" Li You praised.
Shopkeeper Gao couldn't help but remind: "Don't forget, my boss, that the 40,000 taels of debt owed by the coal shops from the palace father-in-laws were all borne by Taisheng Coal Shop. After deducting these 40,000 taels, the net debt is actually The owner has lost ten thousand to twenty thousand, so it¡¯s better for the boss to find a way to resolve it as soon as possible.¡±
In response to the huge debt, Li Youan said, "It doesn't matter! You also know that Taisheng Coal Shop used to be the property of Lin's Consort. You should have heard of Lin's concubine's virtue of a thousand years. He is a ruthless character." , I will transfer the debt of 40,000 taels to him, and then add the shares of our store, I don¡¯t believe that His Highness will not be tempted."
"Your Highness is willing to take it?" Shopkeeper Gao didn't understand.
Li You shook his fan and said quietly to Shopkeeper Gao: "You don't know how evil the royal family is. My father-in-law is just a slave of the royal family. If all the father-in-law's creditors are killed one by one, then who will come to ask for the debt? Since there is no one If you get rid of your creditors, you will have no more debts!¡±
Shopkeeper Gao broke out in a cold sweat A game of that level is definitely not something he can play!
