The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 86
Xuan Shijing put down the bill written by Qiandui, thinking in his heart, since the Western Regions are a piece of fat, should he make a move here? Just now Qiandui said that the Marquis Mansion does not have such strength for the time being, which is true, after all The situation in the Western Regions is complicated, and it would be a waste of manpower to go hastily. As for how to get the business to the Western Regions, Xuan Shijing couldn't figure out how to do it for a while, and this needed an opportunity.

"Young Lord, recently the cost of digging the river on Zhuangzi is relatively high. Do you think that some of the money transported from Luoyang should be used on Zhuangzi first?" Qian Dui asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded, and said: "Yes, the progress on the Zhuangzi must be fast. If it is summer, the flood season of the river will come. If the work cannot be completed at that time, it will be a little troublesome." The terrain around Chang'an Xuan Shijing took the time to study it. Her fief is located in a plain. Although the terrain is moderate, it is still relatively low compared to the surrounding area. The surrounding river is flood season from June to September every year. , that is, before the flood season, the artificial lake and the river should be connected.

"With enough manpower and financial resources, there is no problem with the river course before the flood season, but the artificial lake that stores water is a bit difficult." Qiandui said awkwardly.

Digging out a large artificial lake in the first half of the plain is really difficult, Xuan Shijing thought: "Dig the river first, and the artificial lake is not in a hurry to get water, just dig it first, and this thing will be done thoroughly. , dig a bigger one at a time." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, young master." Qian Dui replied: "Now Uncle Qian has been watching these things on Zhuangzi, and he has to take care of the whole house. It's too hard. Little prince, do you want to think about Zhuangzi? Find someone over there to help housekeeper Qian.”

"Huh? Why, do you have a good candidate?" Xuan Shijing asked. Qiandui must have his own ideas when he said this. After these days, Xuan Shijing has a general understanding of Qiandui. He would not speak easily about something he was not sure about. Now that he mentioned this to himself, he must have a candidate in his heart, and he wanted to recommend this person to himself.

"Back to Lord Xiaohou, the group of people from Erxian Village are still living in Zhuangzi. Among them is a man named Feng Hao, who has known me since childhood. Although this person is not a great sage, he still has a lot of talents He is capable, so I recommend it to Lord Hou." Qian Dui said with some embarrassment, after all, Feng Hao is his friend, and although he does not shy away from relatives, he is still a little embarrassed to do so.

"Very good, you send someone to send a message to Uncle Qian, and ask him to take the Feng Hao you mentioned with him and observe it for a few days. If it is really useful, let Uncle Qian come back from Zhuangzi. , It’s really hard for him to run back and forth like this every day, and besides, he is not in the house, and the people in the house can’t find anyone to make up their minds about many things.” Xuan Shijing said: “In the future, you should pay more attention to the talents around you. Yes, I should reuse it."

After hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Qian Dui agreed happily, after all, seeing his brother's talents have nowhere to display, is also an unpleasant thing.

"You still pay attention to Zhuang Zishang?" Xuan Shijing asked, logically speaking, shouldn't Qiandui stay in Chang'an to work on the business of the Hou Mansion.

"Back to Lord Hou, the young one is in charge of the business of the Hou Mansion in Chang'an City, all the accounts are also in the hands of the young one, and the expenses on the Zhuangzi are all from the young one, so the young one will often go to the Zhuangzi when he has time. Check it out, there are officials from the Ministry of Industry in Zhuangzi now, His Royal Highness the King of Wei looked for them, I am a little worried, so I will let Brother Feng pay attention to the river after I went there last time." Qiandui replied .

If Qiandui is placed now, he will definitely be liked and reused by the leaders in the company, at least Xuan Shijing thinks so, he is meticulous and thoughtful, and has outstanding abilities. I don't know how his father trained him since he was a child.

"Good job." Xuan Shijing praised sincerely: "When Uncle Qian approves Feng Hao, the affairs of Zhuangzi will be handed over to him. One of you and him is responsible for the business outside the Hou's mansion, and the other is in charge of the land of the Hou's mansion. matters, and Uncle Qian sits in the Hou Mansion to take an overview of everything, then the Hou Mansion is basically on the right track."

"Thank you, Lord Qiandui, for your appreciation." Qiandui said excitedly. His young master was willing to put the lifeblood of the Hou Mansion in the hands of himself and Feng Hao, which shows how much trust he has in himself and Feng Hao. The death of a confidant is probably talking about Qiandui's current mood.How talented a person is is not very important. The important thing is to be with a master who believes in himself and can let himself use his talent.

When the topic came up about Qiandui, Xuan Shijing remembered that Qiandui had been living on the second floor of Shanpinfang. It seemed that there had become the headquarters of the Shengtang Group. It's just an empty shell now, but it's necessary to do a good job in the face project, and in the future, Qiandui will go to Xuanwulou to book a private room when he meets a Hu businessman or something.

"Qiandui, please pay attention to whether there is a suitable place in Chang'an City, Lord Hou, I plan to set up a headquarters for our business." Xuan Shijing said.

"Headquarters?" Qian Dui was puzzled: "Young Lord, what is the headquarters?"

"It's our stronghold. Anyway, you don't need to understand too much. It's just to help find a suitable place. I have my own arrangements, Lord Hou." Xuan Shijing didn't know how to explain to Qiandui for a while, anyway, waiting After the headquarters is built and put into use, the money pile will naturally understand.

Although he didn't understand what his young master was talking about, Qiandui still nodded in agreement and asked, "I don't know what kind of place the young master is looking for."

"The place needs to be large and open. It's best to have pleasant scenery around it, and there should be organizations such as chambers of commerce around, so that it will be convenient for future business exchanges." Xuan Shijing said.

"Young Master is talking about the shore of Xuanwu Lake." When Qian Dui heard Xuan Shijing's request, the first place that popped into his head was Xuanwu Lake, and the one who met Xuan Shijing's conditions was Xuanwu Chou, his own little Houye. Could it be that they want to buy Xuanwulou? They can't buy it back even if they emptied the current Hou Mansion's property. What's more, Xuanwulou is not just a restaurant, and there is a background behind it.

"Xuanwu Lake? That place is not bad, is there any land around Xuanwu Lake?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qiandui nodded: "There is still land, but it will cost a lot of money to buy it."

It doesn’t matter if you buy it. The Prosperous Age of Zhenguan has just begun. At this time, the base price of Chang’an City has already begun to rise. If Chang’an City becomes the center of political, economic and cultural exchanges in Asia, ordinary people in Chang’an City will It may be unaffordable.

This actually reminded Xuan Shijing of another profitable business, that is land. Sure enough, no matter in ancient times or modern times, the land in a prosperous city is very hot.
