Xiaozhu immediately moved the letters placed at one end of the table in front of her. In Tan Cuiying's view, these private letters are much more concise and to the point than memorials. Because they are familiar people, there is no need to quote scriptures. But she couldn't stand the large quantity, so there were still two thick piles in front of her!
She picked up the letter at the top, first looked at the sender and recipient marked on the cover, and then opened the envelope and read it slowly.
While Tan Cuiying was reading the newspaper, Xiaozhu put a few drops of water into the inkstone, took an ink stick and began to rub it slowly. By the time Tan Cuiying put down her tea cup, a thick layer of ink had already been polished.
After Tan Cuiying read five letters, she got up and walked towards the north wall. At this time, all the decorations on the north wall had been removed, and a huge wooden board was installed from the roof to the ground, blocking the entire wall! The huge wooden board is painted white, with a striking red line dividing the board in two from top to bottom.
If you look closely, you can see that there are densely packed pieces of paper hanging from small nails on the wooden board, with names written on them. If you look carefully at this time, you can clearly see that the names on the left side of the red line are all civil servants. From the chief minister down to the person who is qualified to submit a letter, there is no one left behind!
On the right side are the names of nobles and military attaches. It is estimated that the criteria for being on the wall are based on whether they can write letters to the court. There are also some names marked in the blank space below, all of which are world-famous masters, great Confucians and influential officials who have become officials.
Therefore, this huge north wall in the study has basically captured all the officials and influential local people in the entire Ming Dynasty from central to local levels! Moreover, there are silk threads of different colors running in series under each name, making the entire north wall look like a mutant spider has netted it! This can also explain why Liu Haojia placed guards at the door of her study!
Tan Cuiying walked to the wall, held her chest with one hand, and held her chin with the other hand, carefully looking at the name on the wall for a long time, and then said: "Green silk thread!"
Xiaozhu immediately took out a roll of green silk thread from the sewing basket on the table and handed it to her, then moved a bench and placed it under the wall. Tan Cuiying stood up straight on the stool, tied a green silk thread between the two names, and then said: "So the two of them have such a good relationship in private! Tell Wang Hongrui and let him find out what they are. Relationship? Don’t check too carefully, just check the public information.”
Xiaozhu immediately picked up a pen and recorded it on a document. This document will be handed over to Wang Hongrui in the afternoon.
At this time, Tan Cuiying said again: "Bring me a pen."
Xiaozhu immediately turned around and picked up the pen from the table, dipped it in ink and handed it to Tan Cuiying. She took over the pen and marked the names of the two people, and wrote a few lines of beautiful calligraphy.
Generally speaking, she spends the entire morning reading private messages, because it is easiest to expose the relationship between two people in private messages, and she can also say some of the most straightforward things. Then deal with some news fed back by Jin Yiwei, and the whole morning will be wasted!
After Liu Haojia and Zhang Peijia went out, they separated, one to the left and the other to the right. Zhang Peijia went straight to the right and headed towards Lend Lease Bank.
Liu Haojia was also concerned about Zhang Peijia's safety, and had eight royal guards on horseback to escort her. And close to the carriage were four middle-aged women wearing samurai uniforms. Judging from their nimble movements on horseback and their piercing eyes, it can be seen that they are also from the Lian family!
At this time, everyone in Tianjin knew that this carriage was the future Mrs. Wu Ningbo's car, and naturally they would deliberately avoid it, so the carriage arrived at the back door of Liansheng Bank smoothly. The back door was already open at this time, and the gate was immediately closed after the carriage entered the courtyard.
After everyone avoided, Tan Cuiying's master and servant, escorted by four female guards, went straight up the stairs to the third floor and entered her exclusive official room.
The office room is large and has glass windows on all sides, so the room is well lit. But in front of her desk there is a huge screen with a pattern of birds facing the phoenix on it, dividing the entire room into two halves. One half is where she works, and the other half has a few chairs for receiving guests.
As soon as Cai Luan entered the room, she was busy making tea for Zhang Peijia. Two of the four female guards went out and each brought back a pile of documents and put them on their desks. Then came out one
One person came and stood outside the screen waiting for instructions, while the other three people sat behind the screen to rest.
After that, the room became quiet except for the sound of paper being turned. After a while, Zhang Pejia said: "Please come in, Mr. Santos from the United Shipyard."
The female guard standing in front of the screen immediately walked out of the door, and a moment later came in with a blond man. This person is Santos who Liu Haojia abducted back from Macau. Now he has cooperated with Liu Haojia to create a large shipyard in Dengzhou, Shandong!
At first, this shipyard was the merger of two shipyards. However, with the financial support of Lend Lease Bank, he annexed three more shipyards. Now it is the largest shipyard in Dengzhou area and even the entire north! There are probably only two or three shipyards in the south that can compare with it! And it is foreseeable that this shipyard will further expand, and may even have the opportunity to become the number one shipyard in Ming Dynasty!
As soon as Santos entered the door, he saw the huge ornate screen, and from the screen he could see a vague figure sitting behind the desk. This was not the first time for him to come to this office, but he did not dare to neglect. He bowed slightly and said loudly: "Dear Countess, thank you very much for being the first to meet me! Santos is here to salute you!"
Zhang Peijia blushed slightly when she heard Santos' compliment, but her tone was indeed much gentler! Said: "Mr. Santos, please take a seat! I heard that you brought a plan for the shipyard expansion this time, right?"
Santos immediately handed a thick document in his hand to the female guard who led the way in, and asked her to deliver it to Zhang Peijia, and then said: "Madam, to be honest, the cooperation between Mr. Liu and I is really very pleasant. I feel that I will soon be able to realize the ideal that my father and I share! According to my estimation, if this expansion is successful, our shipyard may be close to 70% of the Nanjing Bao Shipyard!"
Zhang Peijia picked up my plan and said with a smile: "Mr. Santos, you can't call Nujia Madam yet! Nujia and Wu Ningbo are not officially married yet!"
Santos waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "Isn't this all a matter of time? And I have already decided that when you and Wu Ningbo get married, I will build a ship just for you, and the name will be Countess. No., then you can also appreciate the style of the sea!"
