Chapter 154, He also went to Jiangnan

This time Jing Shirong was sent to Jiangnan, mainly to catch corrupt officials.

Jiangnan has always been wealthy and has relatively many corrupt officials.

The court sent people to rectify the situation several times, but no evidence of corruption could be obtained every time.

It can be seen that there are many corrupt officials in Jiangnan.

Although Jing Shirong is young, he is reliable in his work.

He is eighteen years old, not only as handsome as Pan An, but also very capable.

So the emperor waved his hand and asked him to go to Jiangnan immediately to catch corrupt officials.

This time he was still sent as an imperial envoy, holding the token given by the emperor, and he saw the token as if he were a person.

However, the emperor asked him to find out the evidence of corrupt officials before he could get back all the dirty money.

Jing Shirong knew that the corrupt officials in Jiangnan were slippery and that his identity as an imperial envoy would only alert others, so he concealed his identity as an imperial envoy and went to Jiangnan as a cloth merchant.

 This head.

Sister Ying and the others are ready to set off to Jiangnan.

On the day they left, all the people in Qianjiazhuang came to see them off, which shows that Liang Jin won the hearts of the people.

This time I went to Jiangnan, and I brought more belongings and people than before.

 Now Kang Ge'er, Yang Jie'er and Sen Ge'er all have their own servants and maids, and the family's population is gradually increasing.

Mrs. Wu and Sister Ying also found new maids, all of whom were chosen by Qianjiazhuang. They were loyal and capable.

 Xiaohong and Tongxi's wife are planning to work as shopkeepers or cooks for Sister Ying.

As the family’s population increased and expenses increased, Mrs. Liang said directly, “I’m quitting my job. There are more than 20 people in the family who all have to eat and pay monthly. Where did I get so much money?”

 Originally, Mrs. Liang was in charge of the family, and she also had the money.

 Since the family has so many maids and servants, Mrs. Liang was the first to disagree.

Mrs. Wu tried hard to persuade her, but she only agreed to sign a death deed for the maid and the boy, otherwise she would not be allowed to buy it.

The servants under the living contract have to take care of the food and are paid monthly payments, but there is no need for the death contract. After all, they are members of the Liang family, so they can just take care of the food and don't even think about monthly payments.

Wu Shi is ashamed. Although he doesn’t need to spend monthly money, he still has to feed others.

Old Mrs. Liang knows that not paying monthly money is the maximum limit. No matter how harsh she is, it will really have a bad impact.

But it hurt her to spend so much money every day, so she simply handed over the financial power and let Wu take care of it.

Mr. Wu has been married to the Liang family for more than ten years and has obtained financial power for the first time. But for this reason, she is really dumbfounded.

But forget it, my mother-in-law is afraid that it will hurt her body when giving money, and she will have to ask her to borrow money when she doesn’t have enough, which will make her lose face, so she might as well give her the financial power to save herself from quarreling over money in the future.

Wu didn't shirk and took over.

Now that the children can read, and both the older and the younger are sensible, it is really time for her to run the family.

She discussed with Sister Ying that after arriving in Jiangnan, she would rent a shop. It would not matter what she sold, the most important thing was to be able to make money to support her family.

Sister Ying also said, "Jiangnan is rich. We can open a high-end inn there. Then we can either deliver food to people or run an inn. It won't be bad."

Anyway, Xiaohong and Tongxi's wife are already familiar with how to open an inn. When the time comes to deliver food to others, they only need to find an errand boy.

Mrs. Wu also said, "At that time, I will write a letter to your uncle and your second aunt and ask them to sell the goods here. The business should be good."

Sister Ying thinks this is a very good idea.

"Mom, I haven't seen my second aunt for a long time. Didn't she say that she is near Jiangnan now? Then let her call her over to get together."

 Ever since Sister Wu came out with her sons, she has been working harder to make money.

The two families haven’t seen each other for several years. I heard the year before last that they had also moved to the vicinity of Jiangnan.

Mrs. Wu also missed her second sister, so she agreed.

“Okay, I’ll send her a letter then, and we can be reunited.”

Qianjiazhuang is more than two months away from Jiangnan.

However, there is a wharf in Qianjiazhuang, and ships can just reach the Jiangnan water town.

So Sister Ying and the others got off the carriage and took the boat instead.

Liang Jin chartered two boats, bought enough dry food, and headed south of the Yangtze River.

It was the first time for Mrs. Liang to take a boat ride, which was quite strange. She just looked at it. Kang Geer and Yang Jieer also took a boat ride for the first time, laughing and enjoying the scenery on the boat.

Liang Jin and Wu looked at them.

But the happiness only lasts for a while.

 Because once you get on the boat, you can't get off.

 The boat goes all the way down the river and is basically on the boat until it reaches the shore.

Fortunately, the whole family didn’t get carsick or seasick, otherwise it would have been fatal to get dizzy.

The other end.

Jing Shirong also chose to go there by boat.

There are many water boats in the south of the Yangtze River, so taking a boat there will not cause any suspicion.

 Otherwise, a dozen people passing by in a carriage would attract attention.

 They bought a boat, disguised themselves as cloth merchants, and headed south.

When Sister Ying and the others arrived at their destination, Jing Shirong was almost there.

However, the two parties did not meet, but went to different places.

Liang Jin first took the official documents to the magistrate, and then someone took Wu and others to the courtyard of the magistrate's house.

  When they first arrived in Jiangnan, Sister Ying and her family were all surprised and opened their mouths.

 Because Jiangnan is so lively.

Especially when they arrived at the busiest street center in Jiangnan.

 Compared to the small village where they stayed before, this place is simply a bustling magic city.

Sister Ying was the most excited and wanted to run out and play as soon as they landed.

But as Mrs. Wu watched, they could only open their eyes wide to watch the bustle on the street, but their steps did not move.

After returning home to settle down, Mrs. Wu took a few children out for a walk.

 After Mrs. Wu’s education, the four children did not know how to run around. Two of them led the other two, and their little faces looked at this and that with great excitement.

Mr. Wu and Mrs. Liang also lamented that this place was too prosperous.

Mrs. Liang said, "It's no wonder Jiangnan is so popular. It turns out it's really so lively."

 The whole street is full of shops selling food, drink and entertainment.

 Even the small rivers are full of fruit boats.

Even the alleys are selling snacks and food. Almost every street is full of shops.

Mrs. Wu and Sister Ying looked around and found a store they liked.

It was next to a furniture store, and there happened to be a shop for rent.

Mrs. Wu asked Xiaohong to ask, and then she found out that the family was moving, so she wanted to transfer the shop.

Xiaohong asked about the rent and found it was not expensive.

 It turns out that the location here belongs to the innermost part of the alley, and few customers would go so deep to buy things.

 So it was difficult to rent out the shop, so it was sold at a low price.

Wu asked about the price, and then asked Xiaohong to negotiate the price. In the end, the price was good, and Wu bought the store.

She thought that since it was cheaper than renting, she might as well just buy it.

As long as the goods they sell can be spread, they won’t have to worry about running out of business.

Sister Ying also said, "Maybe some people like this kind of deep alley."

 It’s like those rich people who like to come to such places for gatherings so that they can be seen by others.

Mrs. Wu said, "The shop has been reserved for you, and then it's up to you."

Sister Ying was full of energy and said, "Don't worry."

As long as she puts out the advertisement, she won’t have to worry about no one coming to her five-star inn.
