Invincible son

Chapter 504 503 [The right arm]

Zhongshan Hou's Mansion, the outer study.

On the table was a large stack of invitations, all of which were invitations from ministers of the DPRK and China and relatives of Wu Xun to invite Pei Yue to the banquet.After he came out of the palace on the day he returned to Beijing, dozens of invitations were sent, and the number continued to increase in the past few days, and now there are at least two hundred invitations.

Pei Yue watched with emotion, there were far more dignitaries in the city than he had imagined, and many of them had never even heard of it before.

There were still quite a few people in the study room, but the housekeeper Deng Shi said with a smile: "Master Hou, these people not only sent invitations, but also prepared gifts for each family. I have already sorted out the gift list, and I will make a return gift after the Lord Hou has seen it." .”

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Send the gift list to Miss Ye and let her decide how to return the gift."

Deng Shi complied.

Of course Ye Qi was impatient with these trifles, and Tao Hua had no experience in this field, but Lin Shuyue was able to handle it.With her background and experience, it is easy to solve these etiquette matters.

Pei Yue flipped through the invitation and asked at the same time: "How much money is there in the government?"

Deng Shi said with a full face of awe: "Back to Lord Hou, now there are more than 130 million taels of silver in the mansion, and the company will send silver every month, and all the account books are sealed in the warehouse, and Lord Hou can check it at any time."

Wang Yong and others standing next to him showed shocking expressions. Of course they knew that the company's business was getting better and better, but the corresponding initial investment was also very large. They had so much profit in just two years, which was completely beyond them. imagination.

Pei Yue's face remained calm, and he said indifferently: "Understood, you can go to work first."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Deng Shi replied respectfully, and then walked away lightly.

Pei Yue put down the invitation and said to the six young people, "Sit down and talk."

After several years of experience, the poor boy in the village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Wang Yong has a short beard, a shallow scar on his right cheek, and his body is much stronger than before.Compared with the changes in appearance, his whole temperament has improved more, and now he no longer sees the inferiority complex he used to have, replaced by a calm and heavy.

Qi Min now has hundreds of masters, scattered throughout the capital, and Nuyuan, who is apparently a firm, is secretly inquiring about news for Pei Yue.Although he was still as happy and angry in front of Pei Yue as before, he was already a unique figure outside.

Yang Hu, Qi Jun, Chen Danian and Geng Yi also changed greatly.

In addition to Deng Zai who was still in the western region, these seven people were the first and most loyal disciples of Luliuzhuang who followed Pei Yue.

Pei Yue sipped the tea and said with a smile, "Have you encountered any troubles over the past year?"

Wang Yong took the lead and said: "Master, the mine and the company are very stable, and the government is taking good care of us, especially Lord Yinsu of the Kyoto Prefecture, but he will give priority to all our affairs."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Su Jiang actually still remembers the favor he owed me back then. It seems that it is not a fluke that he was able to sit in the position of Governor of Kyoto for so long."

Qi Min said nervously: "Master, we can only find out some ordinary news for the time being, but I have already tried to find a way to put people in some ministers' houses."

He paused and said cautiously, "Do you want to go deeper?"

Pei Yue stared in thought for a moment, and asked, "How many people do you have now?"

Qi Min quickly replied: "Including me, there are 130 people in the inner core, and 240 people on the outside."

Pei Yue looked at Yang Hu with a serious expression on the side, and said lightly: "From now on, Yang Hu will be Qi Min's deputy, and you two must work together to build this team into an iron wall."

The two immediately stood up and replied, "Follow the order!"

Pei Yue waved his hand to signal them to sit down, thought for a while and said: "You can continue to develop manpower, but don't worry. First expand the peripheral spies, and then carefully select capable and loyal young people to enter the core. Next, focus on a few Places, Dingguogongfu, Weiguogongfu and Fengchenghoufu."

Qi Min replied: "Yes."

Pei Yue said again: "For the time being, the people under your command are still in the name of the company's nursing home. Their salaries come from the company, and their private expenses are collected from the government. Don't go through the company."

Qi Min replied: "Understood, young master."

Pei Yue turned his gaze to Wang Yong, and asked with a smile, "From tomorrow onwards, you will take over the position of chief shopkeeper of the firm."

Even though Wang Yong is mature enough and stable now, he was still shocked beyond words after hearing this sentence, and Qi Min who was on the side also showed envy and surprise.

Today's Xiangyun store is not a small shop, but a large-scale store that mainly produces and sells honeycomb coal, supplemented by grain and cloth sales.Relying on the monopoly of the briquette business and taking part of the market share after the collapse of Qibao Pavilion, Xiangyun is already a behemoth among the best in Kyoto.

Pei Yue had already made proper arrangements before leaving Beijing. The daily operation of the firm was presided over by three big shopkeepers. Gu Fan took care of the overall situation on his behalf. Take control.

Wang Yong said anxiously: "Master, I am worried that I am not capable enough, and I will miss the important matter of the young master."

Pei Yue shook his head with a smile and said: "You have been able to manage the mine in an orderly manner in the past two years, which is enough to show your ability. At the same time, I trust you enough. It is impossible to entrust others to do such a thing."

Wang Yong's heart was full of excitement and joy. On the one hand, it was because of Pei Yue's recognition of him, and on the other hand, it was because of the word trust. In his opinion, the latter was more important.After calming down a bit, he replied in a deep voice: "Master, I will do my best to take care of the business, and I will never let down your trust."

Pei Yue nodded in satisfaction, looked to the side and said, "Qi Jun, the mine in Shouyang Mountain is handed over to you."

Qi Jun nodded excitedly and fearfully and said, "Thank you, young master, for your consideration. I will learn from Brother Yong and promise not to let anyone disrupt the operation of the mine."

Pei Yue said again: "Chen Danian, Geng Yi, you two will assist Wang Yong and manage the business for me."

The two stood up and smiled, "Okay, young master."

After the arrangements were made, Pei Yue said to Qi Min: "Go to the capital and find twenty young girls, the ones from clean families and clean hands and feet."

Although these young people knew their young master's temperament, they still couldn't help but think wrongly after hearing this sentence, but after thinking about it carefully now that the young master is a marquis, it is normal for the mansion to raise more girls.

Qi Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'll take care of it in a while."

Pei Yue glared at him, and scolded with a smile: "There is no shape all day long. You heard me clearly, these girls should be about 13 years old, their brains should be more flexible, willing to learn things, and they must have enough patience. Use In the name of the Hou Mansion, they signed a contract of living with their parents for a period of five years. After the five-year period expires, they can choose to continue working for me, or go out to marry. The first year is one tael per month for each person, and the second year is monthly. Money plus 100 qian, and so on. If you don’t make any serious mistakes after five years of work, you will be rewarded with an additional [-] taels of silver.”

Everyone suppressed their smiles, and their expressions became serious. It was obvious that this was not Pei Yue's seeking, but a very important business.

Pei Yue looked at Wang Yong and said, "In the future, the account books of the firm will be compiled every half a month, and then sent to the mansion, and handed over to Miss Houzhailin for handling."

Wang Yong's heart trembled, and he said seriously: "Yes, young master."
