Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 281
"Yeah," Huang Shimei nodded. In fact, she just wanted to see what status she had in Xu Qing's heart. The more confidential things were given to her, the higher her status would be.

Xu Qing let out a long sigh, knowing that he couldn't deal with things perfunctorily today, he drew circles on Huang Shimei's stomach, and suddenly had a trick in his mind.He said: "There is a team in the dark river, all of them are women, and they are good at using poison. I have never known how to arrange them. Why don't you leave it to you, let you take them to do things, and take the opportunity to expand it."

Huang Shimei's eyes lit up, but she looked at Xu Qing resentfully and asked, "When did Anhe have a girl, what did you do without telling us?"

Xu Qing shook his head and argued, "It's been there for a long time, it's been there for a long time..."

After discussing it, Xu Qing decided to hand over the poisonous scorpion to Huang Shimei.Immediately, they found the people from the dark river, arranged for them to deliver the letter, and asked them to find the poisonous scorpion and give instructions, so that Huang Shimei and the poisonous scorpion could get to know each other.

The poisonous scorpion is a woman who is full of poison. Xu Qing was afraid that Huang Shimei would not be able to control her, so he secretly told her that if there was any disagreement with Huang Shimei, he would come to him.Unexpectedly, the poisonous scorpion said that she and Huang Shimei had sworn sisters, and even if there were differences of opinion in the future, it was still a matter of discussion.Then she added, from now on, even if I touch you, my lord, I won't touch a single hair of Ms. Huang.Of course, Xu Qing knew that this was a joke. The poisonous scorpion, a woman, was always grateful to Xu Qing for taking her in and appointing her. There was no problem with her loyalty.However, Xu Qing still admires Huang Shimei's methods from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Qing didn't know, but after a few years, Huang Shimei and the subordinates of Poison Scorpion will become Xu Qing's other sharp blade, and there will be a feared name in the world - Poison Scorpion.

Huang Shimei laughed again, the relationship between the four daughters was as harmonious as ever, and Xu Qing was exploited as always.

As the evening approached, Yang Wen went back to Luonan County Bo's Mansion with a few people.Seeing Xu Qing, he praised Xu Qing's method of optimizing the production process, saying that the output has doubled, and the quality is also guaranteed than before.The method provided by Xu Qing is nothing more than the matching of people and positions. If good steel is used on the blade, the quality can be guaranteed naturally.Moreover, after the sugar factory has been in operation for a long time, the quality and output will further increase with the technical proficiency of the workers.

Yang Wen also said that the method of letting ordinary people make boxes has been thought up, and it will be implemented in the spring of next year.

Xu Qing nodded, and took out a piece of paper, which was sorted out by Huang Shimei, combining the three account books given by Old Man Ni on a piece of white paper.There is a vermilion pen writing the profitable industries here in Luonan, black pen writing the loss-making industries, and finally writing the total profit of the past two years, totaling 5 taels of silver.Including what Xu Qing brought back, the total is 15 taels.Then, Huang Shimei valued all the Xu family's properties in Luonan, including the land, plus Chang'an, Cangzhou, Liaodong, and Manid, and Xu Qing finally had millions of assets.

One tael of silver is more than a thousand copper coins, which is comparable to more than 2000 yuan in later generations. If Xu Qing's money in Luonan is transferred to later generations, he will also be on the rich list.

An ordinary county uncle would not be so rich, not even Xu Qing's one toe.The county uncle is only equivalent to a fourth-rank official. If he is not employed, he will only have a little bit of honor and real estate. Of course, this little bit is for people of the same class.That little money can support the daily operation of a county magistrate's mansion. If a county magistrate has no income and lives extravagantly, he still needs to pawn his life.

This kind of situation in the first generation of Jue is naturally rare, otherwise the court would lose face, and there are more second-generation Jue, especially the second-generation Jue who has many brothers.The emperor will add a little land, money and food, and divide the land and property of a generation of lords equally, and the eldest son will inherit the title.If these brothers have no meritorious achievements, the next generation will be inherited by Daoli presiding over the assignment.

Xu Qing was an "upright official" at any rate, and then robbed the Xi family and Goguryeo in Liaodong, and set up factories and businesses.

He just took out the list compiled by Huang Shimei just now, just to praise Yang Wen, and discuss a reward measure by the way.You praise me for being smart, and I praise you for being capable. Everyone is happy about mutual praise, and it is also very useful to directly communicate with superiors and subordinates.

After exchanging compliments, Yang Wen happily introduced the few people who came with him, two of them were wealthy businessmen who had business contacts with the Xu family, and the rest were escorts in charge of dealings between Chang'an and Luonan.Yang Wen pointed to Xu Qing to see those two wealthy businessmen, and they were the most profitable industries on the list besides the sugar factory.

Xu Qing nodded. It turned out that they were two managers.As for those escort heads, Xu Qing also recognized one of them, he had sent live pigs to Cangzhou once.The rest are just escorting the immortals to come and go.

To put it simply, they are all talents. Xu Qing allocated a sum of money, 3000 taels, and distributed it to the few people in front of him.He also entrusted them to take care of several properties with serious losses, and asked them to reverse the losses of the properties, and promised that the money from the profits would be given to them in full.The two wealthy businessmen were naturally happy, and they immediately swear on their chests.

This kind of meeting when dealing with each other, Xu Qing always kept meeting after returning home, sometimes he was a commoner in Zhuangzi, sometimes he was a wealthy businessman in an industry, scattered but continuous.Now almost everyone in Hongshan Town knew that Xu Qing was back, and those who came to see Xu Qing naturally had various purposes.

It's okay to see the common people, they just come to see this legendary figure and chat, Xu Qing is also happy.It can be seen that those businessmen, Xu Qing is not willing, they are all asking Xu Qing for immortal brew, Xu Qing is more annoyed by this.why?Because they still want to lower the price!

It was getting late, the rich businessman and the bodyguard stayed overnight in the county magistrate's mansion.After they went out, Xu Qing said to Yang Wen: "Yang Wen, I'm tired of meeting people these two days, you can inform those merchants that I will meet them tomorrow morning."

Yang Wen said worriedly: "The master has worked hard, but if they meet together, they will still make noise and ask the master for immortal brew."

Xu Qingxin said: Yang Wen, you don't know my master's intentions, I want to earn money from my own house, it's Chinese New Year.So I went back to Yang Wen and said, "It just so happens that I have three hundred altars of Immortal Brew in my hand, and one of the ten altars will be auctioned off tomorrow."

Yang Wen was confused when he heard the words, and he couldn't understand two words in one sentence, one was "store" and the other was "auction".And there are two key words, no wonder he is messy.

"Uh uh, master, what, what do you mean?"

Xu Qing patted his forehead and explained: "The auction is for the highest bidder. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the cellar. You can tell the merchants that this wine is specially for the emperor. It is worth thousands of gold. Now I will give back at the end of the year. sell this,"
