Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 388



The little lady of the Li family stretched out her little hand to be hugged by her little daddy. The little lady has already entered the school to learn the rituals. This is a normal salute. To her, it is very cute and makes adults laugh, but she doesn't know it. Looking at the adult with a ignorant face, the adult laughed even more heartily.

Wang Xiujin hugged his daughter and kissed her, then asked her what she had learned in the school, one big one and one small one, the questions and answers were very lively, the daughter was so happy, hugged the little daddy and rubbed his face, and after answering the little daddy's daily fixed questions, So I started asking what's for dinner?

After playing with his daughter for a while, Wang Xiujin was invited to the front hall by the butler, and the young master of the Wang family and his husband came over.Why did Wang Xiujin's strange elder brother bring his brother-in-law here?The eldest brother and his wife returned to Beijing at the beginning of spring last year. They had several opportunities before, but they were rejected by the elder brother on the grounds that there was defense at the seaside and he needed to wait.Wang Xiujin always thought that the eldest brother did not come back because of his father's job and his reasons. After he really came back, he realized that it was because his brother-in-law wanted to be familiar with seaside farming, and at the same time cultivate a trustworthy and capable man. Only when you take care of things can you rest assured.

Walking into the main hall, I saw the two elder brothers. Wang Xiujin strode over. After some unavoidable etiquette, Wang Xiubai opened his mouth to explain why he came. There are more than a dozen numbers, none of which are the same.

After the eldest brother returned to Beijing, he joined the household department and dealt with money every day. At first, he was still troubled by this money and that money. After a long time, he calmed down.However, hasn't the Ministry of Household Affairs made a budget before?How can there be more than a dozen numbers, and there is not even a single one that is the same.Wang Xiujin was quite puzzled, and his eyes were full of puzzlement, which he couldn't imagine.

Wang Xiubo took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to his younger brother, "I want to borrow two gentlemen from my younger brother. Trust them, they know better than us." Who is behind them, who is their master, and the selfishness of their calculations, although they cannot be directly revealed to the world, they can also be seen from a few pieces of paper.

Before Wang Xiubai returned to Beijing to report on his duties at the Ministry of Households, he was fortunate to be summoned by the emperor. When he arrived at the Ministry of Households, the person standing behind him was not the Wang family, but the emperor. This time, from the beginning of the assignment, there were no less than five people who found various excuses and negotiated in private. The purpose of meeting him is to pull him into position.My younger brother is unwilling to get involved in official affairs, but with his current status, if he doesn't want to get involved, he will be far away.No, although the emperor didn't speak directly, he asked his younger brother for someone, so he asked him to borrow someone.

Wang Xiujin raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the contents of the paper in his elder brother's hand, "Is it decided by the people in the household department, or..." Wang Xiujin didn't say who was behind him, but seeing his elder brother cough lightly, Wang Xiujin understood , know whose idea it is. "It's okay to borrow people, but you have to write a secondment note and stamp it. When the day comes, people have to come back. If the people I raised don't come back, I will pay a lot."

Wang Xiubo laughed angrily at the way his younger brother picked him up, but he could only nod, "I'll send the note to the school tomorrow, and bring him back to the household department along the way."

"Not tomorrow, I have to pick and choose carefully, and they have something on hand right now, which one can leave as soon as they say it, if you only borrow it for a day or two, it's okay to say, if you want to borrow it for ten and a half months, my side Wouldn't it delay things, you have to know, for me, every moment is money."

Wang Xiubai silently said several times in his heart that a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, but why does he feel his hands are so itchy?Grinding his teeth, he should take someone the day after tomorrow.Putting aside the matter of borrowing someone, Wang Xiubai Daoming's second purpose of coming here is that his father's birthday is coming up, even if his father doesn't hold a birthday banquet, the whole family should gather together to celebrate his father's birthday.

Wang Xiujin counted the days, but it wasn't his father's birthday. Thinking about his father's preferences, he began to have a headache about what kind of birthday gift he should prepare for his father.Every year, birthday gifts for parents’ birthdays are the most troublesome thing. Wang Xiujin will spend his time thinking if he doesn’t want to give the same thing. ah!

Sending off the eldest brother and his wife, Wang Xiujin's mind is full of birthday banquets. Fortunately, his parents will not throw a big banquet, so he doesn't have to worry about the gifts he gave. If his parents don't like it, they will be seen by outsiders Ten, ten to a hundred, passed on and on, maybe what was said.

The matter of preparing a birthday gift for his father can be put aside for a while, and the matter of borrowing someone needs to be discussed. The professional account clearing personnel he recruited at the beginning are all criminal officials. I feel that these people have some resistance to the superiors in their hearts, even if they are teaching the children of the royal family now.Let them go to settle the accounts, they have no objection, will someone at the Ministry of Accounts make faces for these people?

Wang Xiujin didn't want to see the people he had cultivated. He had to look at other people's faces and be angry. He absolutely couldn't bear it.Wang Xiujin sent his daughter to the enlightenment class early in the morning, and then went to the husband's office. After talking about the matter, several gentlemen shook their heads and expressed their unwillingness to go.Naturally, Wang Xiujin would not forcefully let these people go, but since he agreed, not sending people over would make it difficult for the elder brother.

The first people were unwilling to go, and there were also those who were trained later. Among these people, not all were criminal officials. Wang Xiujin found two people to go there to help calculate. As for whether he would offend others, Wang Xiujin said that he was really not afraid He doesn't want to offend people, and people don't like him. Throughout the year, many people tried to kill him, but they were all sent to the yamen. The adults in the yamen specially arranged a room to take care of him. The killers sent by his people were even arranged in separate cells, and there are now no fewer than 20 people living in them.

Wang Xiujin was immune to killers. At first, he was a little scared, but when he got used to it, it became the same as eating and drinking. If no one did it for a month or two, he would still not get used to it.Li Sushan expressed his helplessness about this.

For the budget matter, Wang Xiujin sent two account clearers who had just completed the deal. When Wang Xiubai took them away, the borrower’s note said ten months. Wang Xiujin pouted when he saw it. It was already time for women to give birth .After seeing off the person, Wang Xiujin thought about the borrowing from the household department, and wondered what the people above the household department meant. Do they know who the person behind the eldest brother is?The current old man of the household department is definitely the emperor's party. The household department is in charge of the national treasury. It is not difficult to make money. .Legs, the emperor said that the east must never go west, and people who look at them are not greedy. Of course, whether there is greed is not judged by "looking".

In his previous life, Wang Xiujin had read a piece of news about a corrupt official who rode a broken bicycle to work every day, and his food and clothing were very simple. If you talk about corrupt officials, you can't blame him no matter what. Wang Xiujin couldn't remember the exact number of bundles of cash, but he remembered this news clearly because the contrast was too great.As a result, for a long time, Wang Xiujin felt that any official he looked at looked like a corrupt official, even his father, and Wang Xiujin felt that he was not a clean official, otherwise, where did so many books come from?

The study room at home has been changed from one to two, and from two to three, all of which are father's collection of books, orphans, and imitations. In this era, there are no rare editions and simplified editions. If there are, my father probably does not. Will fall, how much do these books cost?Apart from books, there are also inkstones and pens. Although these do not take up much space, they are all valuable objects, not to mention various paperweight ornaments.

In terms of value, these bamboo slips are not as valuable as the oldest bamboo slips. Wang Xiujin has never done a collection, but he knows about cultural relics and antiques, and his father does not know where he got the bamboo slips. In terms of bundles, more than a dozen bundles, if these are kept for later generations, Definitely a sky-high sell.When he first saw those bamboo slips, Wang Xiujin even gave birth to hiding the bamboo slips secretly. Maybe hundreds of years later, he could still carry the memory with him, so he would grow up.

Of course, Wang Xiujin just thought about it, this kind of thing is too unrealistic, even if he came to this life with the memory of his previous life, it doesn't mean that he still has good luck to carry on to the next life.What he can do is to let future generations avoid that period of suffering. He cannot predict how the trajectory of history will turn, but he cannot do nothing because of this.

Looking at the account book, this year's income is good. Next year's plan is to build two more power plants. The streets and alleys in the capital will be illuminated at night. See how selfless he is. It is obvious that private power plants can be purely profit-oriented. , but he is doing public welfare.Touching his chin, Wang Xiujin praised his selflessness.He knows that there are many people who are jealous of him making money, but he just likes to see these people are clearly unhappy with him, but they look like they have nothing to do with him.

"Boss." Shopkeeper Wang has followed Wang Xiujin for many years. Since last year, he has handed over the stall bit by bit and brought out several apprentices. These few no longer have heavy responsibilities like him, but each manages a stand.Now shopkeeper Wang is in charge of the Beijing Power Plant. He shakes his head from the most out-of-the-way to those foreigners, and now he can say a few words. It doesn't seem strange to see them, but he still feels a headache from time to time.

"Have you been provoked by a foreigner again?" Since shopkeeper Wang was only in charge of the power plant, nine out of ten times when shopkeeper Wang came to him, he was provoked by a foreigner. "What's the reason again this time?"

"Those people almost burned down the power plant." Shopkeeper Wang said through gritted teeth.

Wang Xiujin was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up, no mistake, how much energy he spent to build up the power plant, if someone burns it, it is not a big deal to lose money, and those people who want to get involved have found the opportunity , he got depressed. "Why?" Wang Xiujin's voice was gloomy.

"Drinking my apprentice's wine is generous, and I'm going crazy."

"No alcohol, no alcohol in the power plant!!!!!!"
