A piece of paper

The doorman stuck his head out, took the two copper coins from the businessman, said "wait a minute" and ran in quickly.

No matter how big the business of the Chen family is, they are still just businessmen. A businessman's house can only have two doors. Once you go around the inner door, the main hall appears in front of you without any cover.After the little concierge trimmed the report, Mrs. Qu thought secretly, frowning and said, "A printing workshop in Jing County? Shang Chengchun? I haven't heard of it, who is it?"

Chen Laowu shrugged his shoulders respectfully and replied, "I've never heard of it. It must be a poor family who came to fight the autumn wind."

Mrs. Qu thought for a while, "Jing County is our hometown, and the ancestors of my family are mostly relatives in the third generation, or distant relatives who are separated from each other. If you invite him to have a gentle meal in front of the hall, give him fifty Wen That's it."

After the Chen family became rich, people in their hometown followed the smell of copper coins, and they loved to come here during the New Year and holidays. Whether they had relatives or not, the Chen family would give them some money, and they would never let people go home empty-handed. Therefore, in Jing County, especially in Jing In the rural suburbs of the county, the Chen family has a particularly good reputation.

Chen Laowu let out an "ah", nodded his head, and raised his feet to prepare himself to be the bodhisattva.

Unexpectedly, before I stepped out, I heard the old Dong who was pouring tea for Mrs. Qu make a hissing sound, and seemed to have dug something out of the depths of his mind, "I remember, shopkeeper He sold a lot of tea before. All good red tracing books are produced by this boss Shang’s workshop.”

Chen Laowu looked up at Manager Dong.

Steward Dong held a teacup in one hand, and smiled measuredly, "I heard that Boss Shang's business stall is not small, and everything written in black and white in Jingxian County is taken from him - although the matter of doing business with our family is open to discussion. , but playing the autumn wind is very useless.”

Mrs. Qu took a sip of tea and said, "Then let him come in." She ordered Qu Erniang beside her, "Come to Longjing before changing the pot of rain, and put on the four-cup box."

This is ready for hospitality.

Chen Laowu's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he was a little flustered.

Now when he heard "Jing County", He Xianjin's slender praying mantis face appeared in front of his eyes.

Chen Laowu shivered involuntarily. Before he could speak, a middle-aged man wearing a fragmented fox fur coat stepped into the room, bowed to salute Mrs. Qu, smiled and nodded to Guanshi Dong, his eyes When he scanned Chen Laowu, the middle-aged man's eyes jumped and he skipped it.

Chen Laowu:! ?

All right!

The dust has settled!
This fucking dog is definitely a praying mantis face!
Shang Chengchun carried two tightly wrapped kraft paper parcels and handed them to Mrs. Qu. He smiled sincerely and said, "During the New Year, I didn't bring much fresh oranges, dried longans, dried turtles, and dried fish. Glue and deer antlers, rose lard rice cakes, meat dumplings and jujube cakes made by my wife, I wish the old lady good luck in the new year, longevity and health."

The first part is about expensiveness, the second part is about favors. Looking at Boss Shang, he is tall and burly, with kind eyes and large, drooping ears. He has a blessed appearance.

Mrs. Qu's eyes were bright, her lips hooked, and she said with a smile, "Together we will benefit together!" She gestured to Boss Shang to take a seat, "Which printing workshop in Jing County are you from?" Mrs. Qu smiled. , "Our Chen family came from Jingxian County, and we are familiar with water from east to west."

"Which one?" Boss Shang smiled brightly, "All the printing workshops in Jingxian County now belong to my family! First, the one in Shuidongtou, Shangji. Last year, thanks to the care of your Jingxian shop, there were three printing shops in Jingxian County. The workshops have all been taken over by Shangji!"

"Xianjin?" Mrs. Qu asked, "I heard that she made a red book, and it sold very well!"

Boss Shang nodded hurriedly, "Yes! You taught me very well. Shopkeeper He brought meat and soup to the shops in Jingxian County. When my hometown talked about the Chen family, who is not this!" Boss Shang gave a thumbs up and smiled very much. It is simple and honest.

Chen Laowu lowered his head, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Dong Guanshi's mouth smiling, looking very proud, and secretly said badly.

Boss Shang changed the subject and frowned, "It's just... alas, it's just that Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard is like this now, and the business of tracing red and printing books in Jing County has collapsed by more than half."

"You can't just sit and wait for death. I'm going to carry five printing machines and bring the labor force of the workers. I'll fight like you did back then. I'll just come to the Xuancheng Mansion! Let's see if there's a better opportunity!"

Mrs. Qu pursed her lips and nodded after listening, "What does the big business you talk about have anything to do with the Chen family?"

Boss Shang clenched his hands into fists and said excitedly, "I found a good place with less than an acre of land in Xuancheng a few years ago, which can accommodate all my printing machines, but he had no choice but to rent it for ten years, and one year's rent is 80 taels, that’s 800 taels in ten years. If I want to move inside and out, my cost will be around 300 taels. I only have less than [-] taels in cash now.”

Mrs. Qu smiled, "Did you borrow money?"

Boss Shang shook his head again and again, "No, no, no! It's not a loan! It's a clearance! Now I still have more than 500 inscribed red books in my warehouse. If the Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard doesn't collapse, I won't worry about selling this amount. Now the future of the Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard is unknown. Jing County can’t sell so much, if you are willing, I will pay you [-] taels!”

Chen Laowu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

500 taels.
It's easy to say.

Even if the mulberry paper workshop didn't have that much cash, he could fill the hole himself.
Mrs. Qu has made some calculations in her mind. Xuancheng Prefecture governs six counties. The population of Jingxian County is only more than 1000 people. The population of Xuancheng Prefecture is more than 500 people. Sales must not be worried about; According to the profit account, a red book sold for [-] taels, and more than [-] copies sold for more than [-] taels. Boss Shang sold them for [-] taels. This was giving them free money.
Mrs. Qu smiled, "Such a good business, why don't you give it to Xianjin?"

Boss Shang waved his hand, "That girl can't eat - I'm anxious to get money to expand the store, and that girl's mouth is too talkative. By the time she finishes drawing the cake for me, I'll starve to death in the morning!"

Mrs. Qu laughed, but she portrayed Xian Jin very well.

Mrs. Qu looked at Chen Laowu.

Chen Lao Wu smiled warmly, "One is anxious to spend money, and the other is willing to do good. You can support the family!"

Mrs. Qu nodded and told Boss Shang casually, "Then tomorrow you will take Old Dong and drive two ox carts to the warehouse to do the counting." She pointed casually and said, "If the money is cashed, it will be collected from the account of the mulberry paper workshop." Stroke up.”

Chen Laowu and Dong Guanshi should be together.

Mrs. Qu turned her eyes again, and the monk boss smiled and settled the account, "You need 200 taels, and now you count the 500 taels that have not yet arrived, and you only have 800 taels of silver in your hand, and you have 400 taels left. Where are you going to slow down?" Are you slow?"

Boss Shang: Where else?From your pocket chant!

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Boss Shang's face, "To be honest, I still have a business I want to do with you."

Mrs. Qu smiled and said, "Are you going to expand the store and ask Chen Ji to invest all of it?"

Angel investment is here! ?

Boss Shang waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, this is a great good thing for you!"

Boss Shang immediately continued, "As far as I know, Chen Ji's two shops in Jing County are both rented from the yamen. There is no real shop that belongs to you under Chen Ji's name!"

"Everyone who does business knows that this shop should be under our own name at best--if the family doesn't rent it out, what should we do with the shop? Open it at home? Or open it on the street? Now the lease agreement The signing is straightforward, but what about the future? Who knows what will happen in the future!?"

Mrs. Qu's complexion gradually became serious.

This is the truth.

The shop in Jing County does not belong to the Chen family, it has always been her heart disease.

The name of the shop hangs on the county government office for a day, and they will be tenants for a day.

Although the rent is not high, it is always controlled by others!
But who can be the master of the county government?

Mrs. Qu narrowed her eyes, "Boss Shang, what do you mean?"

Boss Shang smiled confidently, "I can buy the store you are currently renting. Whether it's your name or your son's name, you just need to pay me and I'll do it for you."

Mrs. Qu leaned back, somewhat disbelieving, "You?"

Boss Shang smiled and said, "Go and find out, since ten years ago, who has printed the examination papers of Jingxian County! Who has printed the documents and files of the county government! The nine towns around Jingxian County, Qinghe Township are from Juren What is the relationship between Mr. Qin and me? What is the relationship between the official school head of Yebai Town and me? How can my son be a ninth-rank official in the county government after only passing the examination of Xiucai? You have been in Xuancheng for a long time, If you don’t know the ways of the world in small places, sometimes you have money and no way out, and it’s just a waste of money.”

Boss Shang showed off his network of connections, took out a document from his pocket and pushed it to Mrs. Qu, "If you don't believe it, just take a look. My shop and workshop are all under my name. If you believe me, this document Just put it here, when I will get it done for you, when will you return it to me!"

Mrs. Qu reached out to take the document, flipped through it, and saw that the person in front of her was calm and honest, she pursed her lips, frowned, and said, "How much money do you want?"

Boss Shang made a comparison of "five", "500 taels - if you don't earn more, your shop itself is valuable, and the selling price is 300 taels, and if you have another 200 taels, you have to give me some sweets and interest, right? Activity Doesn’t it cost money to have a relationship? Does it cost money to treat guests to dinner? I’ll charge you 200 taels, not much.”

If you can buy the store under your name, an extra 200 taels is nothing!
That is the root of the Chen family!
Mrs. Qu held the document in her hand and did not speak for a long time.

Chen Laowu was about to drown in cold sweat!

First 500 taels, then 500 taels!
1000 two!

Ask him to pay 1000 taels by himself!
Grab money!
what does it mean!

He has to spit out all the money he ate!

Chen Laowu nervously looked at Mrs. Qu secretly, held his breath, rolled his eyes, and finally said, "... Your courtesy is for nothing, it is either adultery or theft. Sister-in-law, don't...don't be deceived!"

Director Dong immediately laughed and said, "Boss Shang really has a lot to do with the county government—otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find so many schools to buy so many tracing books from our family!"

Director Dong said again, "I heard that the imperial court is going to fill the vacant position. If the county magistrate of Jing County wants to come to a new person, it's no wonder that the current county magistrate is looking for opportunities to make money - when someone really comes, we will look for opportunities to open the shop. It will be difficult to buy it back!"

Chen Laowu had a deep smile on his face, looking at Steward Dong's eyes with a ruthless smile, "Old Dong, you usually sing and go home to recuperate, but now your brain is very bright!"

Steward Dong respectfully raised his eyes, "Don't dare! This old slave has followed the old lady for 24 years, even if he really lies down, if the Chen family needs it, this old slave can squeeze out some oil from his bones."

"All right--"

Mrs. Qu opened her mouth, and the fresh seal of the county government office on the Chinese book in her hand was bright red.

Her next sentence will determine whether the game can continue to be sung.
