Since Han Du took charge of Jiaofangsi, he has completely suppressed the other four major brothels in the capital.
And ever since Yao Yue sang the song "Nie Hai Yuan", her beautiful figure, fragrant appearance, and ethereal voice like a lark made her quickly become the leader of the Jiaofang.
Although she sells her art but not her body, she attracts people even more.
Especially later, after Han Du and Zong Lai reached a reconciliation, they no longer let Yao Yue sing "Nie Hai Yuan", and it has been silent ever since.
The less you can get, the more urgent you want it. After "Nie Hai Yuan" became famous, everyone who listened to it regarded it as their own glory. Since then, she has naturally become more and more attracted to Yao Yue. Even though she knows that she will not sing "Nie Hai Yuan" again, as long as she performs songs and dances on the stage, the seats are always packed.
Many people even couldn't buy tickets to watch Yao Yue's singing and dancing because they got the news a little late.
"Miss Yaoyue's name is well known to everyone, so naturally I don't dare to expect anything from it." Chang Hao followed the topic and added slowly.
The woman looked at Chang Hao favorably and gave him a look that said, "You are quite self-aware."
Just when the two of them had just finished chatting, Xiong Ting stood up with a happy face.
He cupped his fists and saluted, "I am late and have kept you all waiting. I can't speak or say anything. Because I think that no matter how nice my words are, nothing can make you happy."
Xiong Ting said while pointing towards the box on the long table.
Lao Zhu, who was sitting upstairs, couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he saw the following scene, "This man is quite eloquent. What he said is right. No matter how nice his words are, they are not as real as treasure money."
As he said that, he turned back to look at Han Du, "Who is this person?"
"Back to the emperor, his name is Xiong Ting, and he was originally in charge of the recycling of old banknotes in the mirror at Mingjingzhai. The many old banknotes that the emperor saw at the beginning were collected by him one by one. I saw that he was quite talented in accounting. , so he taught him an accounting method, which he learned quickly, and there was no mistake in accounting from beginning to end." Han Du first explained the ins and outs of Xiong Ting, and then explained the reason why Xiong Ting became an official. "Later, the old banknotes were almost recycled. The emperor happened to set up the Shipping Department at that time. His subordinates were in urgent need of someone who knew how to keep accounts, so he found him and gave him an official position."
"So that's it," Lao Zhu nodded while listening, and finally raised his head and asked Han Du, "What grade is he now?"
"Back to the Emperor, from the ninth rank. I mainly ask him to teach the officials in the Shipping Department how to keep accounts, and let him preside over the final review of the accounts."
"So, he is the most proficient in accounting in the Shipping Department?" Lao Zhu was a little curious that Han Du would ask Xiong Ting to teach the officials of the Shipping Department how to keep accounts. From Han Du's point of view, it is simply impossible without unique skills.
Han Du nodded in agreement, "Yes, and the accounts of the Shipping Department have been reviewed by him and there are no errors or omissions."
Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly shone, and he looked at Han Du with a smile, "It's too low for you to give such a talent to someone from the ninth grade."
"I also know that with his talent, he can do this even if he is the head of the class. But he has just become an official. If he rashly mentions the position of assistant, I am afraid it will cause criticism." Han Du said subconsciously.
The head of the Shipping Department is of the eighth rank, and Xiong Ting is only an official for the first time, so it is naturally impossible for him to suddenly sit in such a high position.
Lao Zhu suddenly glanced at Han Du with dissatisfaction, "I always believe that people should be appointed based on their merit rather than their qualifications. Since he has such talent, why can't he do it if he is just the head of a class?"
Turning back and looking at Xiong Ting below, Lao Zhu said calmly: "It is my decree that Xiong Ting is careful and has outstanding talents. I am specially appointed as the eighth-rank chief. I hope that he will work diligently to repay the imperial court."
"My slave obeys the order." The old eunuch immediately bowed in agreement.
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he looked back at Han Du with a smile. His idea was simple. When Han Du completed the recycling of old banknotes, Lao Zhu did not give Han Du any reward. Firstly, it was because when he learned that more than 40 million yuan had been robbed and taken away, he was so angry that he couldn't even eat. How could he think of giving Han Du a reward? Secondly, Han Du has indeed reached the point where he has no reward. Now that Han Du is a marquis, the only way to reward him is to become a duke. But if Lao Zhu is sealed, then why should Zhu Biao be sealed? Therefore, no matter what, Lao Zhu would leave the opportunity of becoming an official to Zhu Biao.
It's better now. Since Han Du said that Xiong Ting played a great role in recycling the old banknotes, Lao Zhu would simply reward Xiong Ting on his head, which can be regarded as exposing the matter.
"On behalf of Xiong Ting, I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness." Han Du smiled and knelt down, bowing to Lao Zhu on behalf of Xiong Ting.
Lao Zhu smiled and waved his hand to ask Han Du to get up.
Xiong Ting didn't know below that just between these few words, Bian was promoted to the third level and became the chief executive, and he continued to preside over the dividend meeting.
"Let's start from here." Xiong Ting raised his hand and pointed at Chang Hao, who was sitting outside.
"Please come to the front with the securities. After the shipping company has verified which ship securities you purchased, they will exchange the dividends to you based on the price per share."
The income obtained by each ship is different, and naturally the price per share is different. Moreover, some people buy more than one ship or one share. Naturally, it is necessary to check the securities and make calculations to know how much everyone's dividends are.
Chang Hao is not timid in the public eye. When he usually tells stories, on what day should he not face the attention of everyone? He stood up without hesitation and walked to Xiong Ting.
Xiong Ting stretched out his hand and said, "Master, please take out the securities so that we can check the dividends for each security for you."
After hearing Xiong Ting's words, Chang Hao, who was not timid, immediately blushed with embarrassment. Nono licked his lips a few times and whispered: "Student, the student only bought one share, which is from Tai'an."
Xiong Ting suddenly felt that he had just made a mistake, and said with an apologetic smile: "Young Master is really lucky. The Tai'an has made very good profits this time. It ranks among the top three among all ships. Please come here."
Xiong Ting brought Chang Hao to the Tai'an and signaled Chang Hao to take out the securities.
Chang Hao carefully took out the securities from his arms. In order to prevent the securities from getting wet with sweat, he specially wrapped them with three layers of cotton cloth, for fear that the securities would be slightly damaged.
After the clerk and the owner of the Tai'an verified the securities together, the owner counted the treasure notes and exchanged them for Chang Hao.
The clerk took the treasure banknotes and sang loudly, "One share of Tai'an Securities can be exchanged for three thousand banknotes worth seven hundred and thirteen coins."
After singing, Chang Hao was asked to sign and pledge on the account book, and then handed him the banknotes.
