Lord of the House

Gu Wuchen told Lin Fu at the wine table that he could choose the vacancy of the clerk's office, and the people next to him were both envious and jealous.

The chief inspector is in charge of the criminal justice of a county, and has both judicial and supervisory functions. There is one chief inspector of the third grade, one deputy inspector of the fourth grade, and also has jurisdiction over armament, education, sea patrol, military supervision, and post biography. , All things in the field are set up with sub-director officials, plus the title of five-level errands.

Although the power of a county is divided into three parts: the inspectorate, the Xuanfu, and the Admiral's office, in fact, the inspector's power infiltrates the power of the other two departments quite seriously. For example, according to the inspector general department, there is a five-level military preparation, which is to promote education and education, repair the city, and hear lawsuits in peacetime. It was set up to supervise the military affairs of the fifth grade, and had the right to supervise the troops in the towns of the Admiral's House.

Regardless of whether the official inspector or the assistant inspector, the subordinate departments are also high-ranking officials and belong to the list of officials sent by Beijing. In addition to these three and some other important officials, most of the officials who belonged to the yamen were subordinate officials. These subordinates belonged to officials, ranging from low-ranking officials of the 8th and 9th rank to those who were not, and they all belonged to the scope of local officials. Among them, there are Qingshui officials, and there are fat messengers who are oily and watery. Sometimes a small eight or nine-rank official has a frightening power.

Gu Wuchen said this, how to make others not envious and jealous of Lin Fu?

Although it is said that the selection of the subordinate officials of the Jiangdong Press Office is jointly responsible for the Jiangdong Press Office and the Jiangning Department of Personnel, but who should be used, the dominance is still with the Press Office. And Jiangning Ministry of households can find this person's body slip. Of course, when the Ministry of Public Security has no definite candidates for employment, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Jiangning can exercise the right of recommendation.

Lin Fu didn't expect Gu Wuchen to make such a promise as soon as he took office, so he quickly stood up and thanked each other: "Thank you, Lord, for your reward.

"If you have this talent, I should recommend you to serve in the imperial court," Gu Wuchen smiled brightly. He was glad that Lin Fu didn't refuse this time, "Think about it carefully, don't be too busy to make a decision today..." He went to Jiangning Come, even with the halo of the upstarts of the Chu Party, if there is no suitable and trustworthy manpower, it will still be empty for others. Although Yang Pu, Yang Shi, and Ma Chao are all trustworthy people around them, they have no fame and can only be promoted to low-level military guards such as military commanders. , I can't control the power, let alone say, and there is no channel for promotion. Although Lin Fu was just a name for his son, he had a low start in promotion, but it was more convenient to operate, and he belonged to the civil servants after all.

****************

Although there was Gu Wuchen's promise, Lin Fu didn't dare to be careless, so he closed his eyes and chose a leisurely messenger. Gu Wuchen is a newcomer of the Chu Party and a dignified fourth-rank official. What he wants to do, he can do whatever he wants without too much scruples; The target of the attack by the middle and lower-level officials of the Anchorage Division should be carefully selected from the Anchorage Division.

In the following days, Zhao Hu escorted Lin Jingzhong and Gu Tianqiao back to Shiliang County to discuss the underwriting of Gu's tea goods. Lin Fu found a shop near Zangjin Bridge in Xicheng and bought them. The courtyard behind the shop has three main rooms and four wing rooms, where people can live and store tea goods.

Although Lin Fu decided to build a warehouse at the mouth of the Jinchuan River outside Dongcheng, and to buy a fleet of ships, so that Jiyun Club would become a large-scale business that would take care of both sales and marketing, but these things could not be done in a day or two with money. .

From a practical point of view, even if it is successfully negotiated to underwrite the tea goods of the Gu family, before the new tea is launched after the spring of next year, the Gu family will only have more than 1,000 catties of old tea that can be transported to Jiangning. It is serious to open a tea shop first.

Lin Jingzhong and the others returned after leaving for four days. Lin Jingzhong, Gu Tianqiao, and Zhao Hu were all in the dust. Lin Jingzhong was weak and his face was thin. He didn't even take a sip of tea when he got back. Qiao looked at the newly bought tea shop, and felt quite satisfied with the market and the price. He joked with Lin Fu, "I thought you were going to be a dumping owner, but I didn't expect you to be much more savvy than I expected..."

"It doesn't matter if I do or not, you have to do it as soon as possible..." Lin Fu said, there is a bad habit in this era, that is, the master and the apprentice will always keep a few hands, and few people are willing to take all kinds of customs in the industry. Able to tell the apprentice clearly at once, so that the master will not steal the apprentice's job, and let the apprentice learn for a few more years, and it can be used for a few more years at a low price, so the industry apprentice's apprenticeship cycle is extremely long, just like if Lin Jingzhong He works in the Linji warehouse step by step. Even if he is a child of the Lin family, it is very unlikely that he wants to be an ordinary shopkeeper before the age of 30; Lin Fu is afraid that Lin Jingzhong will also learn this bad habit in the Linji warehouse, suppressing Gu Tianqiao and others. The other hired guys wouldn't let them make their mark in Jiyun Club.

"..." Lin Jingzhong laughed, and it was a little embarrassing to wake up Lin Fu, but thinking about it, Lin Fu's business, Jiyun Club, is very ambitious. If he puts his mind on the small tea shop, it will only make Lin Fu look down upon it. and said, "I know, and I hope someone can help me too..."

"It's just a tea shop at this time. In the future, warehouses and fleets will be set up, and a lot of skilled people will be needed," Lin Fu pressed Lin Jingzhong's shoulder, "and the Jinchuan River estuary warehouse, I also need your help. I'm going for a run."

"Doesn't that make my hemp legs break?" Lin Jingzhong said with a grin, and he had no complaints in his heart. He worked as a cashier at Linji Warehouse for two years, and thought he was better than others, but when he was nowhere to be seen, this The hard work is the hard work, but there is no disgust.

The journey from Jiangning to Dongyang was more than 500 miles, and he had to go to Huyan to talk to the Gu family about underwriting tea goods, and to go back to Shanglin to talk to Mrs. Qi. It took him only four days to go back and forth. He slept in the middle of the night, and his face became thinner. He was willing to take on the hard work, and he was also full of energy.

Lin Fu said to Gu Tianqiao earnestly: "Tianqiao, now I want you to learn more from Jingzhong. I can hope that after next spring, I will be able to hand over this tea shop to you..."

Gu Tianqiao nodded and said, "Thanks to Dongjia."

This time, he and Lin Jingzhong went back to Shilianghuyan, and Jiyun Club is willing to raise the price of tea by 30% on the price of tea collected at Linji Warehouse. In addition to taking away thousands of jins of old tea from the Gu family, it will also pay 300 taels for new tea after next spring. Silver's deposit, this matter was made by the Gu family behind the scenes. As for the negotiation with the Lin family, there is no need for the Gu family to worry.

The apprentices are only for food and drink, and they are sent for free, but if the Gu family wants to get out of the predicament of being limited to Dongyang Mansion, there are not many useful children from the clan, so they want to send as many people as possible to Jiangning to learn craftsmanship and experience; this point, Lin Fie had expected it, and instructed Lin Jingzhong in advance that if Gu's parents mentioned this matter, he would readily agree.

Lin Fu didn't want to limit the Gu family to Dongyang Mansion, and then Jiyun Club could continue to **** blood from the Gu family. First of all, we must take care of the mind of the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, and secondly, even if the price increase at this time satisfies the Gu family's requirements, it is difficult to ensure that the Gu family will not breed new dissatisfaction over time.

Lin Fu has a thousand years of experience and knows that to maintain a long-term relationship with each other, there must be a basis for common interests.

In addition to the two apprentices sent by the Gu family, Zhao Hu also brought his twelve-year-old younger brother Zhao Xiong over this time.

Lin Fu knew what Zhao Hu's parents, especially his mother Zhao, were thinking. It is very difficult and laborious for the Zhuang family to provide their children with education. Besides, it is also a matter of luck to study and gain fame. Like Zhao Hu and his three brothers, after two years of reading in the free school, they called home early to help the farming. Catching firewood and doing chores is also a common choice for Zhuang households.

The second son, Zhao Bao, was fifteen years old. He was pulled by the Zhao family to run in front of the seventh lady. This time, the Zhao family asked Zhao Hu to bring the younger son to Jiangning. Learning a craft is serious, and being able to become a shopkeeper or a master is a great prospect for the children of the Zhuang households.

Seeing Zhao Hu pulling his younger brother Zhao Xiong to give orders there, Zhao Hu, who had only been in Jiangning for half a month, gave instructions, as if he was already an old Jiangning guest, Lin Fu laughed dumbly, and called Zhao Hu and Zhao Xiong to Come around: "How did your parents name your three brothers, tiger leopard bear, the whole zoo?"

"What is a zoo?" Zhao Hu asked in confusion after listening to the new term.

"Linyuan, the royal hunting ground, raises tigers and beasts for the children of the royal family to learn about riding and archery. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call a zoo?" Lin Fu said nonsense, pulling Zhao Xiong, who was still young but had a tiger-backed waist and was only a head shorter than himself. Beside me, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "I will give you a new name, with the word 'Dream' in the middle of 'Zhao Xiong'... You are still young, so don't learn any crafts for now, there is a book school in the city, you can go again After two years of study, are you afraid that you, a little guy, will eat me into poverty?"

"Zhao Mengxiong, this name is good. King Wen Mengxiong has a long way to go," Lin Jingzhong came over and said with a smile, "There is another happy event, Zhao Hu is embarrassed to say, I will tell you."

"What's the happy event?" Lin Fu asked.

"Do you still remember Hongying, the daughter of the old man Guo's family in Linli?" Lin Jingzhong said, "Originally, the old man Guo refused to talk about it. A few days ago, he asked someone to ask Mrs. Qi to talk about it. If you want to talk about this marriage, just wait. I'm going to give an answer from the Zhao family. Aunt Zhao was angry that Old Man Guo had repented before and ignored it. This time, Zhao Hu and I went back to the forest and stayed for half the night. Old Man Guo found someone to directly test Zhao Hu's meaning. We stayed in Shanglin for a short time, and we were busy talking to Mrs. Seven, and hurried back. I originally wanted Zhao Hu to stay in Shanglin for two more days, but he didn’t want to. He said this way. Lack of manpower... To be honest, I don't know what Zhao Hu is thinking."

Lin Bie laughed and said, "Who doesn't expect a girl to marry a good family? Old Man Guo's thoughts, even if they are abhorrent, can be understood." Just write a reply early, and it’s okay to bring someone to Jiangning during the Chinese New Year, so you won’t be afraid of extracurricular problems and people will mistakenly think that you don’t have the heart to talk about it and promise your daughter to someone else’s house?”

Zhao Hu's face was black at first, but now his face turned purple with embarrassment, and he murmured, "Wait... Wait for someone to return to Dongyang, just send a letter back."
