Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After taking care of Fang Yongxiang, Liu Xu took Chen Jide's name card and went to visit the dock inspector Wu Dingbo.  Wu Dingbo is also a middle-aged man in his forties, but his personal appearance is better than that of Fang Yongxiang. He has a fat head and big ears, and he looks very kind on the surface.  Because of Chen Jide¡¯s famous name, he also met Liu Xu in person.  And because his position was lower than that of Chen Jide, he was very polite to Liu Xu.  But Liu Xu noticed that this man seemed a little more difficult to deal with than Fang Yongxiang. He was so polite now because he was afraid of the power of Chen Jide, the right street envoy.  Therefore, Liu Xu did not take advantage of Chen Jide's relationship to be rude to him. On the contrary, he was very polite to him. He even originally planned to only add 5 taels of silver per month, but added 5 taels of silver. Like Fang Yongxiang, he also paid him monthly  His average amount is thirty taels of silver.  As soon as the money was raised, and Liu Xu gave him thirty taels of silver as a meeting gift for his first visit, Wu Dingbo became even more enthusiastic towards him, and formally expressed to him that he would definitely take care of him at the dock in the future.  He stayed with Wu Dingbo for almost half an hour, during which the two of them had a pleasant conversation on the surface. Wu Dingbo more or less inquired about his relationship with Chen Jide and his family background.  Of course, Liu Xu hinted that he was Chen Jide's confidant, but his personal background was deliberately vague.  However, Liu Xu also knew that if he inquired intentionally, he would know that he had no family background. What he mainly relied on now was Chen Jide, the right street envoy, and his reputation for killing more than a dozen people in a row yesterday.  Before coming, Liu Xu had found out clearly that Wu Dingbo, the dock inspector, only had fifty or sixty subordinates. It was no wonder that he could not really do anything to Wang Kuidao's dozen desperadoes before.  Generally speaking, Liu Xu and Wu Dingbo have initially established a good relationship.  After that, Liu Xu planned to visit Li Tuo, the future powerful Chitose. However, it was a pity that when he presented Chen Jide with his name card, a steward from his palace received him and only said that Li Tuo had entered the palace.  Liu Xu just handed over the gift money to the manager, and then added ten taels of silver to the money Wang Kuidao originally gave them. The manager acted very calmly about this and accepted the gift money unceremoniously.  , and then took the lead and nodded and agreed to pay the regular money every month in the future.  This manager was very indifferent to Liu Xu. It is certain that if it were not for Chen Jide's face, he would not receive him in person.  Of course, Liu Xu would not continue to look at his face. After seeing that the matter was settled, he stood up and left. The manager said "no" nonchalantly and did not bother to get up to see him off.  Although Liu Xu was secretly angry, he also knew that the other party had the qualifications to be proud. Although Li Tuo was now a popular figure in front of the emperor, he would soon be in power.  It was a great honor for him, the manager of Li Tuo's family, to be able to personally receive this little bad boy like him.  Finally, Liu Xu went to visit Wu Renfei, the city gate official, and finally received real courtesy.  This Wu Renfei was only in his twenties, and he had a quaint air in his words and deeds. Although he was a little slick, he was also very forthright. As soon as Liu Xu arrived, he immediately arranged a banquet and invited Liu Xu to the table.  Unable to resist the warm welcome, Liu Xu took his seat. During the conversation, Wu Renfei was basically the one doing the talking, and Liu Xu himself was not a talkative person. Of course, for the sake of communication, he could also speak appropriately.  Some flattering words made the other party's conversation more and more intense, and I felt like I had met a close friend.  The meal lasted for nearly an hour before it was over. By the end, Wu Renfei, who was obviously a little drunk, had become brothers with him.  Liu Xu presented the gift money and then raised the original fee. Wu Renfei patted his chest very generously and assured Liu Xu that in the future, whenever necessary, you can always say hello and he will be there at any time.  Although Liu Xu didn¡¯t quite believe this, he liked the other person¡¯s character in his heart, and he praised him for a long time, which made the guest and host happy.  By the time Liu Xu left Wu Renfei's house, it was already almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the day was quickly passing.  When I returned to Qinglongfang, the recruitment of Fang Ding had ended.  Because of the good salary and the possibility of getting an official position, registration was very enthusiastic. At least four to five hundred adults in the workshop signed up. It was certainly not difficult to select thirty people from them.  When Liu Xu arrived, thirty people were in Wuhou¡¯s shop, crowding the huge yard.  "Liu Shuai, everyone is waiting for you to come back to lecture. Please tell everyone a few words." As soon as Liu Xu came in, Wang Wu hurriedly ran to him and bent down to report.  Liu Xu saw this and knew that this was the usual practice, so he nodded and walked to the steps in front of the hall to stand.  Wang Wu followed and stood at the foot of the steps, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Seriously"?!  Shut up!  Be quiet and listen to our Liu Shuai's lecture.  "The yard slowly became quiet, and everyone looked up at Liu Xu on the steps. "You will eat under my hands from now on. As long as you obey my orders seriously, you will not only have sixty yuan a month in the future.  Take it, and you will get more. Those who have performed particularly well and have made great contributions to our Wuhou Pu. I can make a promise to you here and make you an official Wuhou. After you become a Wuhou, you will have many benefits.  , at least the monthly money will be doubled, and there will also be monthly profits from the properties under our Wuhou Shop name.  You must know this yourself.  In short, you will obey my orders from now on and work hard with me. I will never treat you badly.  Of course, if you are a sneaky person who shirks my orders, you may be dismissed or expelled. It is also possible for you to be decapitated if you are engaged in military law. Therefore, if any of you come in with the purpose of eating and drinking, I also invite you.  If you voluntarily withdraw as soon as possible, I will give you one night to think about it. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, you will officially sign the contract here. If it is too late, I will treat you as voluntarily withdrawing.  "Okay, next, there is still some time, so don't be idle. Let's clean up the inside and outside of our Wuhou shop. Clean out what needs to be cleaned, leaving no dead corners, Chen Gui,  You are responsible for supervision here. Wang Wu, go and ask a carpenter to come over and repair the doors and windows of the courtyard for me.  " After talking and explaining things, Liu Xu went to the workshop. Now that the small courtyard of the workshop has been connected to the courtyard next door, and the rooms in the courtyard over there have been cleared out, the few Wuhou who stayed behind went to the workshop.  Liu Xu asked if they should continue to expand the scale of the workshop and recruit people. Although they have made a fortune now, they do not want to give up the long-term business of candied haws. They are all keen on expanding the scale of production and making more money.  Of course Liu Xu had no objection to this. When he named Yu Pengfei and Zhang Kai, Yu Pengfei was responsible for purchasing materials for making candied haws, and Zhang Kai was responsible for recruiting people. Priority was given to recruiting people from our workshop. Other Wuhou could help introduce them.  When some relatives and friends come in to do things again, of course, the two of them will be responsible for handling the matter. Everything will be done according to the previous rules. Basically, the matters that Wang Wu was responsible for were handed over to Yue Pengfei, and the specific recruitment work was handed over to Zhang.  Kai. Although Wang Wu has some abilities, it is impossible for anyone to be responsible for procurement for a long time, otherwise it will easily breed corruption. Furthermore, Liu Xu plans to keep Wang Wu by his side in the future. After all, he was the first to follow him clearly.  The old man he did, Liu Xu would not treat him badly. The two of them did not expect that Liu Xu would leave this matter to them. They were overjoyed and quickly accepted the order. Then they both took the initiative to say that they would do it right away while there was still some time.  Then he went to implement it. Of course Liu Xu would not stop it after seeing this. After that, Liu Xu went to the next door yard to have a look. The specific structure and size were similar to this one. Not only was the courtyard wall opened, but the left bedroom that was originally separated was also opened.  Basically, the rooms next door, including the hall, will be used as factories in the future, while the original side will be mainly used as a warehouse and accounting room: the hall will be used as a warehouse for incoming and outgoing goods, and the right bedroom will be used as an accounting room.  It would be nice to move the iron box for the safe and lock it with a door to prevent the money from being too exposed.
