In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 606: A Good Fortune

It turned out that he came here for tax matters.

Hu Haishan vaguely heard something about KTV during the day. At that time, he thought it was a trivial matter and did not take it to heart.

I didn't expect that the Jinyiwei were involved in this matter.

"I know about your matter. I will ask about it when I go on duty tomorrow. You can take the things back."

Hu Haishan didn't know what was inside, so he didn't dare to accept something from a stranger.

"Thank you, Lord Hu. I'll leave first." Zhao Yurui didn't say much and turned away.

"Hey, take the things." Hu Haishan said anxiously.

But how could he possibly return the things that Zhao Yurui had given him? He just ran away.

Seeing this, Hu Haishan had no choice but to shake his head.

After Zhao Yurui left, he took out the envelope and looked at it, and found that it contained one thousand yuan.

This money is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either.

Zhao Yurui's salary is only three or four thousand yuan a month, and Hu Haishan's is only five or six thousand yuan.

Both of them are considered to be within the Yuan system, and their counties are developed along the coast.

In inland provinces, the same position could pay between two and three thousand.

So this one thousand yuan is already a lot of money.

But the key point was that Hu Haishan saw two big words written on the envelope: "Monthly Money."

Of course he understood what this meant, which was one thousand yuan per month from now on.

That’s a big deal.

Hu Haishan stood there thinking for a while, then suddenly smiled, stuffed the money into his arms, and went out to play mahjong.

The next morning he came to the county government office and returned to his tax office first.

There were a few small yamen runners in the tax office, all doing miscellaneous chores.

"Where is Xiao Liu? Call Xiao Liu over." Hu Haishan said.

"It's an adult."

After a while, Xiao Liu, who had been to Zhao Yurui's store yesterday, came.

"I've met my lord."

"What happened yesterday? I remember Zhong Dianli mentioned something."

Yesterday's incident was minor and he really didn't take it to heart.

Xiao Liu understood what he meant and immediately said, "Yesterday, Zhong Dianli asked us to help check the taxes of the KTV."

Then he added that because Zhong Dianli's son was also in the same line of business, the other party's business was doing quite well and might affect their family's business.

At this point, Xiao Liu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he walked up and whispered, "The boss of that store also has a Jinyiwei."

"Did you go there later?"

"We went, but they had Jinyiwei, so we didn't dare to act rashly. Let's give him three days."

Hu Haishan nodded. In fact, it was just a business dispute.

Originally, Zhong Dianli was his colleague, so he should have helped his colleague, but their relationship was not very good, and he had already received money from others yesterday.

In addition, Zhao Yurui is a member of the Imperial Guard, so this matter is not easy to handle. Everyone is competing for money based on their abilities. Your store's business is not as good as others, but you can't do this, right? It's too unethical.

Thinking about the monthly salary Zhao Yurui mentioned, he was counting on whether he would have money next month.

Let’s see first. If there is still money next month, I will definitely help Zhao Yurui. Brothers don’t have money to kiss.

If I have no money next month, I'm sorry, I have to report it to the authorities.

"This matter is indeed troublesome. The Jinyiwei are behind it. Last night, someone from the Jinyiwei called me." Hu Haishan looked fearful.

When Xiao Liu heard this, he thought that the Jinyiwei or some high-ranking officials called Hu Haishan.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it later."

"I know." Xiao Liu said.

Hu Haishan was calculating Zhao Yurui's monthly allowance, while Zhao Yurui was calculating his daughter.

This morning, Zhao Yurui reported to the unit first, then went out immediately, saying he was going to the dock.

The Jinyiwei had many and varied tasks to deal with, but the security in Dinghai was good. At the docks they were in charge of, there were generally no cases except for fights among the porters and thefts.

There were more than a dozen people in the institute. After he arrived, half of them were still not there, and they all made excuses to go out and play.

Xiaoqi Zhou Guomin is often absent. If he is not there, he is probably playing mahjong with colleagues and friends.

Zhao Yurui looked at the chaotic Jinyiwei small flag station and felt like cursing in her heart.

During the Song Dynasty, the Jinyiwei had to run 3,000 meters every year and take shooting tests, and they were able to fight on the battlefield.

The Jinyiwei now is not even as good as that in the late Ming Dynasty.

He reported for work and went to the dock immediately.

At the dock, Zhu Chongzuo and Zhang Jiusi's men were busy moving goods.

They recently raised their prices, and bosses everywhere are complaining.

But there was no way out. The wharf was controlled by these two companies, who monopolized the industry. When the ship merchants' goods arrived at the wharf, they could only use Zhu Yuanzhang and his men.

Seeing Zhao Yurui arrive, Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang came over with smiles on their faces.

Ever since they raised their prices at the same time according to Zhao and Rui, their business has become booming. Moreover, the two parties no longer have to fight for territory. They just do as Zhao and Rui say, each managing half and taking turns every month.

There is no need to fight for territory and efficiency is high. Unlike before, there were sometimes several fights a day, which made the ship owners scared. Sometimes the cargo was overturned and they had to pay compensation.

"Boss Zhao, it's all thanks to you that business is much better now than before." Zhu Yuanzhang is really good at talking. He came up and started bragging.

Zhang Jiusi is more straightforward than him and would not say such nice things.

"What's the boss's reaction?" Zhao Yurui asked calmly.

"What kind of reaction can there be? Some bosses complain about their hardship and poverty, but if they want to get out of poverty, they have to rely on us." Zhang Jiusi said with a smile.

"I have an idea." Zhao Yurui looked at the two of them at this time, and the two of them subconsciously looked at Zhao Yurui.

"I want to set up a company and expand my business."

"I will be the general manager, and you two will be the deputy general managers. I will plan the company's affairs, and you will do the work. I guarantee that your annual income will only increase, not decrease, and will be much more."

Zhao Yurui wants to recruit Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang under his command.

In another time and space, the two of them would definitely be unwilling to lag behind others.

However, in this time and space, they are still at the bottom of society.

Zhang Jiusi was stunned for a moment, as if he was wondering whether he should be Zhao Yurui's younger brother?

Zhu Chongba, on the other hand, immediately asked, "Does it include the KTV?"

Last time he heard how much money KTV makes.

"Including." Zhao Yurui said decisively: "No matter what business we do, it counts as one."

"Then I must participate." Zhu Chongba said quickly.

"I want one too." Zhang Jiusi couldn't fall behind after hearing that.

"Okay, hahahaha, from now on the three of us brothers will be united in purpose and become bigger and stronger."

Zhao Yurui immediately asked the two brothers to register a company in the morning. The company was named "Daming Trade Group Company".

Zhu Chongba was stunned and asked, "Why is it called Daming?"

"The hope for tomorrow lies in the sun and the moon. In the future, our business will be wherever the sun and the moon shine." Zhao Yurui said generously.

"Good." Zhang Jiusi clapped his hands and applauded.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also excited. This sounded very cool.

"Also, you two need to change your names. Chongba and Jiusi don't sound high-end enough."

"The man who will be the general manager in the future needs to have a good name."

Zhang Jiusi grinned and said, "We don't have much education, Zhaotou, you take it off."

"Your name is Zhu Yuanzhang, and your name is Zhang Shicheng."

"Zhu Yuanzhang, this is a good name." Zhu Chongba understood it immediately and felt that it was very familiar.

The same goes for Zhang Shicheng. I felt a sense of familiarity when I heard the name.

Thus, in the eighth year of Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty (1348).

Daming Trading Group Co., Ltd. was formally established.

Chairman and General Manager Zhao Yurui, Deputy General Manager, Directors Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Director Meihua Jie.

That morning, Zhao Yurui asked them to take on another job in the future, which was called "running customs."

Customs declaration is required for both entry and exit of the coast, and usually the ship owners send people to do it after they dock.

But they were not very familiar with Dinghai, and there was a lot of turnover among the local customs personnel, so Lao Zhu and Lao Zhang set up a special department to help them with customs and charged some fees, which saved the other party a lot of time.

"While going through customs, help deliver the goods. We call it express delivery--"

Dayuan does not have an express delivery business yet, and most of the work is done by the former post stations. Now Zhao Yurui plans to start an express delivery business in Dinghai first. He told several people about the idea, and they all praised it, saying that it would definitely make money.

Who wouldn’t want door-to-door delivery?

But there is no online shopping this time, the main business is the dock work.

The main customers are ship owners. In the past, the goods were delivered to warehouses, but now they can be delivered to homes after arriving at the dock.

There are also many shops at the dock, some of which sell all overseas goods. When someone comes to buy something, Zhu Yuanzhang's people can help deliver it to their home.

It's so hot now, and most people are really out of luck if they buy large items.

Zhao Yurui arrived at the dock at around seven in the morning, and then discussed with the two for a long time. When he saw that it was almost nine o'clock, he said, "I have something to do, so I have to leave first."

We left quickly and headed for Qiantang Temple.

Qiantang Temple is a small local temple and it is not usually visited by many people. Zhao Yurui first returned to the station, changed out of his flying fish dragon clothes, put on a shirt and trousers, and went there.

His attire on the street was quite conspicuous. Miniskirts and shirt suits were both popular from Dongyan. Although the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit them, they were rarely seen in public. There were also many criticisms from the public about revealing clothing such as miniskirts.

But these clothes are obviously better looking than the old robes of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and most young people still like them very much.

It is currently popular among the wealthy, the upper-middle class, and young people.

Zhao Yurui arrived at Qiantang Temple at 8:40. Because of the hot weather, there were not many tourists around. There were mainly some small stalls, including herbal tea shops, fruit stalls, etc., and there was also a fortune teller nearby.

In ancient times, there were often fortune tellers next to temples, because those who were willing to come to the temples were all believers, both men and women, and they also believed in this.

Zhao Yurui looked around and didn't see Hu Pian'er, so he walked over to the fortune teller.

"Young sir, please tell me your fortune. I am a man of steel and I will charge you for it--" The fortune teller was wearing sunglasses and looked very serious. When he saw Zhao Yurui coming, he immediately started to solicit business.

"How much does it cost for a fortune telling?"

"It's vulgar to talk about money. We mainly look at fate. I see that the young master has a rosy face and looks quite wealthy. Just give it as you see fit--"

Zhao Yurui really wanted to slap him in the face and then ask him, "Have you ever calculated whether you will be beaten today?"

But he still held back and turned his head to look at a money jar on the table, which was full of small five- and ten-yuan bills.

There were even copper coins and small change in it.

The Song Dynasty of Zhao Yurui mainly used copper coins, silver coins and gold coins at that time. Silver was no longer commonly used, but after Zhao Yi came to power, he began to use silver again, and later issued paper money. As a result, now there are paper money, silver, silver coins, copper coins and everything else on the market. The monetary system is actually a bit messy.

He fumbled in his pocket for a while, and then dropped a hundred-dollar bill on the table.

The hundred-yuan bill in the Yuan Dynasty was very valuable, and a pound of meat was only two or three yuan.

The fortune teller was so frightened that he took off his sunglasses and stared at the hundred-dollar bill.

"If a girl comes with me to have her fortune told later, please tell me a good fortune. If it's not good, do you know what the consequences will be?" Zhao Yurui said.

The fortuneteller hesitated for a moment, then said righteously, "I'm sorry, young master. I was taught not to be rude to guests. " In the middle of the fortuneteller's words, Zhao Yurui lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing the pistol at his waist.

We can't be disrespectful to our guests. Don't worry, I'll take your money and do it for you."

Zhao Yurui sneered and patted the table with his hands: "You can also calculate whether you will be shot today."

After that, he turned around and left.

The fortune teller's mouth twitched, and he quickly put the hundred-dollar bill away and put it in his pocket.

Then he lowered his head and pulled out all the worst sticks from a handful of sticks, and then grabbed a handful of best sticks from a bag on the ground.

Zhao Yurui turned around and came to the front of the temple. The temple was only a few dozen square meters, and the walls were a bit old. There was a Bodhisattva inside, whom Zhao Yurui did not recognize. It seemed that the incense was not very popular. There were not many people here today. When Zhao Yurui went in, there were only two old women kneeling there, muttering something.

The yard is rather desolate, with sunlight everywhere, except for the shade behind the Bodhisattva.

Zhao Yurui had only stood there for a while when he felt sweat on his head. He had no choice but to walk behind the Bodhisattva.

While waiting, I was thinking to myself that I should go to another place next time, as this place is really not suitable for a date.

How about going to KTV next time?

Just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly saw an umbrella appear in front of him.

The long skirt under the umbrella was white, and it was obvious that it was Hu Pianer.

"Miss, what kind of dilapidated temple is this?" He Hua followed Hu Pian'er with a smile on her face.

"Hush." ​​Hu Pian'er stretched out her hand, signaling her not to talk nonsense: "Don't be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva."

"Don't you believe in this at school?"

"School is school, and here is here. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You wait outside."

He Hua refused and wanted to follow Hu Pian'er.

"There's no shade inside, you wait for me outside." Hu Pian'er said again.

Lotus stuck her head in and looked inside. She didn't understand why the young lady came here, but Hu Pian'er didn't tell her that it was a date. She looked at it for a few times and retracted her head: "Okay, I'll wait for you under the fortune-telling tree."

"Yeah, don't disturb me while I'm worshipping the Buddha." Hu Pian'er coaxed her.

Lotus stuck out her tongue, turned and walked out.

Hu Pian'er stood at the door and watched the lotus flowers grow under the tree. Then she turned and entered the temple. She looked left and right and saw Zhao Yurui hiding behind the Bodhisattva.

When Zhao Yurui saw He Hua go out, he quickly appeared and waved to her from a distance.

Hu Pianer's face turned red instantly.

But she did not hesitate. She held the umbrella in one hand and lifted her skirt with the other, and ran towards Zhao Yurui in small steps.

The two women kneeling on the ground looked at her and Zhao Yurui walking together, their faces filled with surprise.

It’s not that I’m surprised that there’s only one man and one woman, but I’m surprised that they’re dating in front of the Bodhisattva.
