Blood from Daming

Chapter 111 Director
Xue Yun came to "Xinghua Restaurant" just at noon. This is the best time for "Xinghua Restaurant" business. The entire restaurant is full of guests and customers. There are no vacant seats. Xue Yun originally planned to bring his own soldiers. Xinghua Restaurant" had a meal, and now they had no choice but to shake their heads at their subordinates and turn around to leave. At this time, Bao Duoping, the manager of "Xinghua Restaurant", ran out and stopped Xue Yun and the others.

Bao Duoping, the manager of "Xinghua Restaurant", persuaded Xue Yun to enter the small courtyard behind the restaurant. Xue Yun asked why there were no guests. Bao Duoping said that it was a small courtyard for special important guests. Xue Yun didn't say anything else. I just ordered that when I was not busy, I would hurry up and serve a few dishes for everyone to have a light meal.

Bao Duoping, the manager, made the arrangement, and he accompanied Xue Yun to report in detail the operation of "Xinghua Restaurant" in the past six months. A lot of money, excluding the cost of refurbishment, it still made a profit of more than 4 taels of silver.

At this time, the restaurant kitchen was delivering food and wine like flowing water. Xue Yun looked a little too rich, but he thought that his subordinates were all crawling out of the dead, and they were the masters of eating and earning. In addition, this was also the manager Bao Duoping He didn't say anything, but told everyone to eat more.

Bao Duoping, the steward, went on to say: "The business of "Xinghua Restaurant" is very good, and it's because all parties in the capital gave the young master face. The Xue family has an opinion, but it's just a word of mouth. "

Xue Yun: "If Bao Guanshi and those imperial officials have opinions on the Xue family, you can order the subordinates to pay attention to collect the information, and send it to Xiao Xue's residence regularly in the future. Be careful not to be known by others."

Bao Duoping, the manager, also mentioned that Yao Jimin, the head of Dongchang’s new stall who is in charge of the "Xinghua Restaurant" area, is very protective of the business of our Xue family's "Xinghua Restaurant". Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa of Baishengtang usually only hang around nearby. He never came to the door of "Xinghua Restaurant", and asked them to deal with those who made things difficult for "Xinghua Restaurant" several times, Baishengtang did it very well.

Xue Yun: "I want you to give money to Baishengtang every month in private, how are you doing?"

Bao Duoping, the steward, said in a low voice: "The young master gave it, 500 taels of silver per month. From the beginning, Qin Zhehua, the hall master of Baisheng Hall, and Wang Defa, the military adviser, were determined not to accept the silver from the young master. Later, I said it belonged to the Xue family, not the young master. Apart from me and the young master Xue's family, no one else knows about the payment of money."

Xue Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "I am very satisfied with what you have done. You can tell Xiao Xue's house if you have anything to do in the future."

Bao Duoping, in charge: "Thank you for your praise, young master. In the eyes of the villain Bao Duoping, only the young master is the real master of the Xue family. Bao Duoping is only loyal to the young master."

Xue Yun saw that all the soldiers under his command were slick, and he and Bao Duoping, the steward, had almost talked, so he said, "I'm going to entertain a few guests in a few days, and then you can save me a place in the yard." .”

At this time, an old servant came in to look for Bao Duoping, but he saw Xue Yun hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Master, you are back, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me continue to serve you."

Hearing his words, Xue Yun knew that he was the servant who stayed in the "Xinghua Restaurant". He said in his heart that he couldn't even remember the places he had placed everywhere, but he said: "I asked you to work in the restaurant to take care of your body." , I always fight and kill in the army, which is suitable for young people, don't you have fun here?"

Bao Duoping, the manager, hurriedly said: "Master, I think he is too old, and he didn't even arrange for him to live. He just let him do something according to his ability."

The old servant hurriedly said: "I promise you are overthinking things. I didn't say that you treated me badly. It's just that I want to serve the young master myself."

Manager Bao Duoping: "Please don't talk nonsense, it will kill people."

Xue Yun: "I promise you don't worry too much about the matter, it's just that I have a good relationship with this old family member, and he is a little bit reluctant." In fact, he didn't even know the name of the old family member, and he just helped him carry the sedan chair, which made him feel uncomfortable. Bao Duoping was able to look at him differently and make life easier for this old family member.

The old servant said: "Young master saw you so much that I fell in love with you. Young master, the shopkeepers Chen and Yang Er of the "Xueji Silk Cloth" came and said that the young master was eating at our "Xinghua Restaurant" and they all waited outside the courtyard. of. "

Xue Yun: "I was about to go to "Xueji Silk Cloth" for a stroll, but shopkeeper Chen and the others came over instead, um, please go and invite them in. "

Bao Duoping, the manager, came in with shopkeepers Chen and Yang Er of "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" after going out for a while. Xue Yun asked them if they had eaten, and they quickly said they had already eaten. After the banquet, make good tea for Xue Yun, shopkeeper Chen, and shopkeeper Yang Er again, and call everyone out of the small courtyard so that Xue Yun and the others can talk.

Yesterday, shopkeeper Chen arranged for his subordinates to welcome Xue Yun and made an oolong. Today, Xue Yun has already gone to "Sanjiang Huitong" and "Xinghua Restaurant". Followed by shopkeeper Yang Er all the way to the "Xinghua Restaurant" to meet Xue Yun directly.

Only Xue Yun, Shopkeeper Chen, and Shopkeeper Yang Er were left in the dining room of the small courtyard. Shopkeeper Chen urged Xue Yun to go to "Xueji Silk Cloth" to sit. Xue Yun said that he was planning to go to "Xueji Silk Cloth". Let's chat casually here, I've been very busy recently, and I'll go take a look when I have time for a few days.

Shopkeeper Chen said to Xue Yun: "Young Master, "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" is doing very well now, and the business is booming, with a profit of 23 taels at the end of the year. Now Xue's "Xue Ji Silk Cloth" is already the most famous big shop in the capital. At the end of the year, there were still many merchants buying northern goods from our "Xueji Silk Cloth". "

Xue Yun: "This time, the army just brought some goods back. There are not many goods and we can't give you much "Xue Ji Silk Cloth". Even for your goods, you need some merchants from the south to barter and provide Datong with some necessary goods. Only the goods you want will do. "

Shopkeeper Chen looked a little disappointed: "This year, Datong has been fighting in the north for several months. The export trade in Xuanda area has a great impact. Compared with previous years, the import of goods from the north to my Ming Dynasty has decreased by more than half. The end of the year is the time to make a lot of money."

Xue Yun: "Next year there will be large-scale wars in Xuanda, Mongolia, and Jianzhou, and the price of goods should rise sharply. Don't be afraid of overstocking your hands. Your biggest task now is to prepare a large number of supplies that Mongolia and Datong urgently need. After the New Year Go to Datong as soon as possible to exchange the goods from the north. In the next year or half a year, your "Xueji Silk Cloth" will rely on this batch of goods to support its appearance. "

Shopkeeper Chen's expression was a bit complicated: "Young master, do you think the Jurchens will attack Datong Mansion next year."

Xue Yun: "It's not possible. The Jurchen will definitely send troops. Prepare more goods in your shop, which may increase the trading opportunities a few times. If there is any loosening in the north, I will send someone to notify you, and you will immediately transport the goods to Datong. In this way Our Xue family can make more money during the crisis."

Shopkeeper Chen: "Master, I understand when you say that, as long as the safety of the caravan is safe, Xue's family will become a rich man in the capital within a few years."

Xue Yun looked at Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Yang Er: "I don't want the fourth person to know what I said. The Datong Army in my hand is more than enough to protect my own family's caravan. Other people's caravans can only ask for more." Luckily, the two of you are trying to get more goods to get to the bottom of the matter, right?"

Xue Yun was talking with shopkeeper Chen and shopkeeper Yang Er when Bao Duoping, the steward of "Xinghua Restaurant", came in and reported to Xue Yun that Qin Zhehua, the master of Baisheng Hall, and Wang Defa, the military adviser, asked to see the young master.

Xue Yun said to Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Yang Er: "That's it for today, you go back to work, and we will talk again when we have time in two days."

Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Yang Er went out for a while, and Qin Zhehua, the master of Baisheng Hall, and Wang Defa, the military adviser, entered the dining room. Xue Yun felt more tired than in Datong, and pointed to the chairs to signal Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa to sit down. Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa sat down Afterwards, he sang praises to Xue Yun, reported to Xue Yun the activities and development of Baishengtang in the capital, and proposed to join Xue Yun's subordinates to serve.

Xue Yun: "It's a good thing that you two want to go on the right path, but it's too risky for Datong to join the army. You and I are just trying to gain a future. If you lose your life, I, the helper, will feel uneasy. Why don't I stay here?" How about finding a way for you in the capital."

Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa thanked Xue Yun over and over again, and Xue Yun asked, "Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Shuntianfu, which department do you think is suitable for you?"

Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa stated that Xue Yun's subordinates listened to Xue Yun's command. Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Jinyiwei and Dongchang have relatively strict discipline, and the requirements for entry are relatively high. Shuntian Mansion has relatively loose requirements for arresting officials. As long as you go out to handle the case and how far you can go, there is a lot of room for how long you go, why don't I ask you how the Shuntian Mansion is." Qin Zhehua and Wang Defa quickly nodded in agreement.
