Fenghou

Chapter 885 Takako
In Dangtu County, the huge flag of Wei's Commercial Company was planted on the pier. Wei's Commercial Company spent [-] guan to buy [-] acres of land including the pier. They are doing a lot of construction work, dredging the pier, building warehouses, and leveling the pile. This makes the people of Dangtu County very much looking forward to it, which means that they don't have to go to Wuhu, and they can find very good jobs right at their doorstep.

Wei's Commercial Firm is indeed good. It has recruited thousands of people locally to participate in the construction. Even dozens of aunts who can cook have been invited to be cooks to cook for the construction site. The surrounding farmers are selling their products very well. There is no need to worry about selling at all, and all kinds of agricultural products are sent directly to the construction site.

Of course, this Wei's firm is only in name. It was an agreement reached between Chen Qing and Zhang Jun. It used Dangtu County as a transit point. In addition, it also stationed [-] troops and erected the banner of the Shaking Heaven Army. Everyone knows that this is a direct descendant. Zhang Jiajun, protected by the army and backed by Zhang Jun, no one dared to trouble Dangtu County.

Zhou Kuan was ordered to stay there for one to two months to stabilize the situation in the southeast. To be precise, it was to stabilize the new interests of the Sichuan-Shanxi Army in the southeast. One was the newspaper office and the other was Dangtu County.

With Wan Yanchang's return to Hebei, the crisis of the newspaper office has been resolved, and Zhong Huan led fifty internal guards have also withdrawn to Dangtu County. The daily security of the newspaper office can be maintained by ten warriors from the intelligence station led by Wei Yanwu. .

The construction of Dangtu County is coming to an end, and the return time is already on the agenda.

This morning, a fleet of hundreds of [-]-stone cargo ships sailed into Dangtu County Wharf with a full load of goods. There was a short, fat middle-aged man standing on the bow. His name was Xin Deli, and his father was A Sichuan businessman believes that hard work will surely pay off, so he named his son Xin Deli.

When Chen Qing managed Qinzhou, there was a serious shortage of food. Zhou Kuan was ordered to go to Sichuan to purchase food. He stayed in Zizhou for three years. Xin Deli was the first batch of men recruited by Zhou Kuan in Zizhou. Promoted to Vice President.

This time he was transferred to Dangtu County by Zhou Kuan, responsible for operating Dangtu Port, and also responsible for Jiangnan procurement, purchasing a large amount of materials from Jiangnan, transporting them to Jiangling, and then transporting them from Jiangling to Bashu. Barrels of tung oil. Tung oil is mainly used for shipbuilding and furniture, but it is also an extremely important military material. Sichuan Road also produces tung oil, but the quality is lower and the price is more expensive.

Xin Deli saw Zhou Kuan standing at the pier, and he quickly asked his subordinates to arrange for the men to carry the goods ashore, and he jumped ashore. A dozen warehouses have been built on the shore, full of tuancha and dried fish purchased from Quanzhou , These tung oils can only be stacked in the open air, and they are covered with tarpaulins.

"Deli, how was your trip to Jiangnan this time?" Zhou Kuan stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Xin Deli bowed and sighed: "The abundance of materials in the south of the Yangtze River is amazing, especially silk, which can be sold to Sogdian merchants in Jingzhao, and can earn more than ten times the huge profits. This time, I purchased [-] barrels of tung oil and Ten thousand bolts of silk, the satin will arrive tomorrow, and I have another suggestion from the humble staff."

"Say, what's your suggestion?"

"Beizhi recommends not to use the signboard of Wei's Firm."

Zhou Kuan was taken aback, "Why?"

"Wei's business has a bad reputation. Although the government along the way did not dare to control it, ordinary businessmen and ordinary people are quite disgusted and unwilling to do business with Wei's business. In the end, the humble staff removed the banner of Wei's business to buy the goods. "

Zhou Kuan nodded, "Any other suggestions?"

"In addition, Beizhi suggested to set up a commercial firm in Pingjiang Prefecture and set up a large warehouse. Usually, the commercial firm purchases it in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and then transports it to Dangtu regularly. When transporting, it can use the flag of Wei's Commercial Firm, but the commercial firm in Pingjiang Prefecture can change it. The name is better, you can use the Zheng family's Chengjihang, Chengjihang is very famous and has a very good reputation, but it needs the approval of the Zheng family."

Zhou Kuan laughed, "Chengjihang was originally called Chengqinghang, which was jointly established by His Royal Highness King Yong and Zheng Dutong. Just say hello, but have you decided on a candidate for the chief executive of this firm?"

"The Lu Fan recommended by the counselor to the humble staff is very good, he is practical and responsible, and he can be used as the chief manager of the firm."

Lu Fan is actually the eldest son of Lu Datong. Lu Datong has two sons who are completely different. The eldest son, Lu Fan, was born to a maid and is very honest. Lu Datong dislikes this son very much, especially when he became an adult and became a businessman. , which disgusted Lu Datong even more, so the eldest son Lu Fan has been doing business abroad all year round.

Later, Lu Datong's main wife gave birth to his youngest son, Lu Tang. Lu Tang was naughty since he was a child, but he was very clever, and he was loved by Lu Datong. Losing his official position also caused his uncle to be dismissed as prime minister.

But the eldest son, Lu Fan, was hated by his father, but he was extremely filial. He bought a five-acre house in Lin'an for his father to live in with his savings of [-] guan in many years of business. The son was exonerated.

Lu Yihao also felt worthless for Lu Fan, so he recommended him to Zhou Kuan. Lu Fan also came to Dangtu County to participate in the construction of Dangtu. Fan is a down-to-earth person, trustworthy and reused.

"Will Lu Fan escort tomorrow's silk fleet?"

"Exactly, this time, he was responsible for purchasing the silk and satin in Pingjiang Mansion. Tens of thousands of coins were handed over to him, and there was no mistake in the last penny, which is admirable."

Zhou Kuan had never had a good impression of Lu Datong, but he did not expect that he would have such a dutiful son, and he would not be treated well by him. This shows that Lu Datong's concept of right and wrong is problematic, and he has to remind His Royal Highness King Yong , this kind of person cannot be reused.

Zhou Kuan said again: "The commercial firm in Pingjiang Mansion should be established as soon as possible, and you will be fully responsible for the construction of Dangtu. I will leave [-] inner guard warriors to be responsible for the safety of Jiangnan procurement. In the future, the operation of Dangtu Harbor and Jiangnan The business is up to you."

Xin Deli nodded silently, "When will the counselor leave?"

"The fleet from Jiangling is estimated to arrive at Dangtu the day after tomorrow. I will set off in five days and return to Jingzhao."

In mid-September, five months after leaving Jingzhao, Chen Qing finally returned with his army.

Not surprisingly, Yu Lian gave birth to a son for Chen Qing. In fact, Chen Qing knew about it in Chengdu, and he was eager to return to Jingzhao.

The son has been two months old, and he has a thick head and a thick head. The little guy has great strength and strong calves. He looks like a military general.

Everyone likes a fat son who is healthy and strong, and Chen Qing also really likes this son, holding him in his arms and refusing to let go.

"Husband, the little guy only has one baby name Ying'er, and I expect you to give him a correct name!"

During dinner, Lu Xiu talked about the naming, and the whole family was eagerly looking forward to Chen Qing!
"Then call it Chen Ying!" Chen Qing said with a smile.

"An eagle's eagle? Not good!"

The one who objected was the child's biological mother, Yu Lian. She lowered her head and whispered, "Chen Ying thinks the name is too fierce and unlucky."

"Then why did you give him the baby name Ying'er?" Chen Qingxiao asked.

Lu Xiu explained with a smile: "When the child was born, an eagle happened to land on the roof. I thought it was a bit strange, so I gave the child the baby name Ying'er."

Chen Qing nodded, "So that's the case, then there are two names, one is Chen Ying, the heroic Ying, and the other is Chen Yan, who commemorates his mother's hometown, Yan'an Prefecture, choose one, you choose!"

After discussing for a while, everyone unanimously chose Chen Ying.
