Yujing, Tingyuxuan
In recent years, under the rule of Fengwu Army, the economic situation in Henan has been completely renewed, and the people's livelihood has also been greatly improved. Some high-end teahouses, restaurants and other consumer places have also sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain... ·····················
Among these consumer places, the name Tingyuxuan is far less loud than Cuiyunxuan, Taifengju, and Chunfengyuan. It is even said that few people know the name Tingyuxuan. However, although the reputation is rarely known, it is not On behalf of Tingyuxuan, the service environment is not good.
At this time, in an antique private room in Tingyuxuan, Zhao Wanxian, the newly appointed envoy to Jiyu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sitting on a Huanghuali Taishi chair, closing his eyes and listening to the melodious music in the room. At this moment, the door opened It was opened, and a graceful and charming young woman walked into the house.
Looking at Zhao Wanxian who was immersed in the music of the piano, a trace of surprise appeared in the woman's eyes, but she did not disturb Zhao Wanxian and sat directly opposite Zhao Wanxian. After the song was played, Zhao Wanxian slowly opened his eyes and smiled at him. The young woman opposite asked:
"Mrs. Wang, no wonder Mr. Zhang Zhiwen told me that your Tingyuxuan Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger is a must-visit place in Yujing. It is really extraordinary when I see it today!"
Hearing Zhao Wanxian mention Zhang Zhiwen's name, Jiang Yuyan's eyes flashed with a strange color, but she still spoke:
"Master Zhao, have you seen me?"
Zhao Wanxian smiled slightly and said:
"Zhao lived in Liaoyang before and had never been lucky enough to meet Mrs. Wang!"
"But with such a fairy-like beauty, looking at the whole Yujing, Zhao feels that there is no one else except you, Mrs. Wang..." "
If other people praise her beauty, Jiang Yuyan probably doesn't care. After all, many people have said this since she was a child. But when these words come from Zhao Wanxian, Ye Mingsheng's favorite, Jiang Yuyan is still very happy. This at least proves that Although she is no longer young, her charm is still there!
Although she was a little proud in her heart, Jiang Yuyan still said calmly:
"Master Zhao, you are ridiculous! I am already a MILF!"
After speaking, Jiang Yuyan did not discuss this topic with Zhao Wanxian, and then said to Zhao Wanxian:
"Master Zhao, you have just arrived in Ren Yujing not long ago. If you are not busy arranging spring plowing matters, why do you have time to come to Tingyuxuan?"
Zhao Wanxian smiled and said:
"It is precisely because I want to ensure spring plowing that I came to bother you, Mrs. Wang!"
After he finished speaking, Zhao Wanxian also suppressed his smile, and asked Jiang Yuyan solemnly:
'I wonder how the loan preparations for Rishengchang Bank are going?
Jiang Yuyan preached without thinking after hearing the words;
"The first batch of 500,000 taels of silver has been loaned to 100,000 farmers, and the second batch of 1 million taels of silver will be loaned to 200,000 farmers in the next half month. We are responsible for the Rishengchang bank account Please don’t worry, Mr. Zhao!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wanxian couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised:
"This is the best! No wonder everyone in the court said that Mrs. Wang, you are a hero among women, managing such a large Rishengchang bank in an orderly manner... ····》
Facing Zhao Wanxian's praise, Jiang Yuyan did not take it seriously and said lightly:
"Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. There are still many things in my account!"
"Okay! Okay! Since Mrs. Wang speaks quickly and Zhao also opens the skylight to speak frankly, the commander-in-chief has determined that Jiyu will be the first stop of the southern tour. According to the plan, he will arrive in Yuyu in the next fifteen to twenty days. Jing, I want to give him a big gift when he comes to Yujing!"
At the end, Zhao Wanxian also looked at Jiang Yuyan. Feeling Zhao Wanxian's gaze, Jiang Yuyan also had a bad premonition in her heart and then spoke:
"What does this have to do with me?"
Zhao Wanxian said with a smile:
"Of course this has something to do with you, Mrs. Wang! Now who doesn't know that you, Mrs. Wang, are the
Jiyu’s God of Wealth! If I want to make a difference, I naturally have to communicate with you, Mrs. Wang! "
After finishing speaking, Zhao Wanxian's voice changed and he said something meaningful:
"If what I predict is correct, Mrs. Wang, you must be in a dilemma now!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but look frozen. After handing what she had written to Song Haibo that day, Jiang Yuyan felt even more uneasy and worried about gains and losses.
Jiang Yuyan waited in this torture for more than ten days, and then she was returned to Yujing. During this process, Ye Mingsheng did not see her from beginning to end... ············
Ye Mingsheng just asked Song Haibo to bring her four words. These four words were - take care of yourself!
Jiang Yuyan knew that Ye Mingsheng had given her another chance, but she also knew that Ye Mingsheng's tolerance had limits. If she did something that displeased Ye Mingsheng, then the only thing waiting for her would be death!
So when she returned to Yujing, Jiang Yuyan was also thinking about what to do next for Rishengchang!
Jiang Yuyan believes that the biggest problem before her is how to develop a prosperous business without destroying the rule of law!
Jiang Yuyan is also very troubled every time she thinks about this problem. After all, the business of Rishengchang Bank is closely related to the government, so without the strong support of the government, it will be difficult for Rishengchang Bank to develop rapidly.
As the saying goes, county magistrates are not as good as current officials. Even if the Chief Secretary issues an order, various problems will arise when it is implemented in towns and villages. Jiang Yuyan did not want the red envelope tactic from the beginning. After all, there were so many red envelopes given out. One, the money of Rishengchang bank account will be one cent less, and under Ye Mingsheng’s request, Rishengchang bank account’s own profit point is very low!
But the problem is that without the red envelope tactic, it is difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the Qingtian bosses. Therefore, in order to promote the development of the Rishengchang ticket account, Jiang Yuyan had to use the red envelope tactic, which caused a deficit for the Rishengchang ticket account. , which also damaged the official administration of Jiyu and Qilu.
So now Jiang Yuyan is a little confused about what to do, thinking about how to find a balance between the two...
Seeing that Jiang Yuyan was silent, Zhao Wanxian continued to take the initiative and said:
"Mrs. Wang, I have also heard about the Rishengchang bank account. I have a plan to solve your current predicament!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuyan immediately aroused Jiang Yuyan's interest, and Jiang Yuyan also said directly:
"Appreciate further details!"
Facing Jiang Yuyan's gaze, Zhao Wanxian continued:
"When I return to Yijing to report my work to the Marshal, I made a report to the Marshal regarding the current corruption problem in the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"I think the problem of greed comes from human desires. Unless you are a saint who has no desires or pursuits, how many people can cut off the seven emotions and six desires?"
"There are tens of millions of scholars in the world, and those who take the imperial examination every year are like those who have passed the river. Although everyone says that being an official is to assist the emperor and bless the people, we have studied hard and endured so many years. Only you yourself know why!"
"So I think this problem is easier to avoid than easy to block. Our Fengwu Army has always done this. Although the supervision is much stricter than before, everyone's salary has also increased a lot, generally it has increased by two or three times. times, some even increased by five times!”
"Although this move does not completely eliminate the problem of corruption, it does alleviate the problem of corruption!"
"I came to Jiyu this time to further implement the commander's ideas. I intend to launch a bonus system while strengthening supervision in Jiyu... ···
"Bonus system? Mr. Zhao, can you explain it in detail?" Jiang Yuyan asked with some confusion:
Zhao Wanxian said without thinking:
"As far as I know, Mrs. Wang sends out hundreds of red envelopes a year. The total number of red envelopes should be one hundred thousand taels. According to my idea, simply put, if you take the red envelopes of one hundred thousand taels,
The tax will be converted into 70,000 taels of silver and handed over to the Chief Secretary! "
"The Chief Secretary is handing out these 70,000 taels of silver as bonuses. Whoever cooperates well will be given more bonuses. Anyone who is lazy and inactive will not only not be given bonuses but will also be removed from office!"
"Mrs. Wang, if you give this money to them as red envelopes, you are violating the laws of the Zhou Dynasty by undermining the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty. But it is only reasonable for me, the Chief Secretary, to give it as a bonus!"
"In addition, I also plan to use part of the property of corrupt officials seized as bonuses to officials at all levels. I believe this will definitely form a virtuous circle!"
Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but frowned as soon as these words came out. Although Zhao Wanxian said it well, Jiang Yuyan still realized the problem from his story.
To put it simply, Zhao Wanxian's idea is to add the Chief Secretary as an intermediary between merchants and local officials, and at the same time put on a legal cloak, but the question is whether the Chief Secretary will withhold the money... ················
This is not the first day Jiang Yuyan has lived in Dazhou. She knows the virtues of these people very well. The nominal 70,000 taels of silver were handed over to the Chief Secretary as a bonus, but after the Chief Secretary's treatment, could she finally get 20,000 taels? Go down, and can 20,000 taels satisfy the appetite of those people?
Looking at Jiang Yuyan, who was frowning, Zhao Wanxian said in a deep voice:
"Mrs. Wang, the commander-in-chief and I both understand your concerns, so the commander-in-chief did not implement this method throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty. Instead, he piloted it in Hebei and Yu to see how it works. As the chief envoy, I am the only one who can promise you What’s more, we will strengthen supervision to ensure the implementation of policies!”
Listening to Zhao Wanxian's words, Jiang Yuyan hesitated for a moment but finally nodded. Although she still had concerns about Zhao Wanxian's ideas, she didn't have any good way to solve the problems that were troubling her now!
And the most important thing is that as the old saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. Although Jiang Yuyan is Ye Mingsheng's mistress and is responsible for the work of the Rishengchang Bank under Ye Mingsheng's instruction, in the end she is just a common person. !
And Zhao Wanxian is not only the new Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan, but also the pillar of the future country that Ye Mingsheng is optimistic about, so Jiang Yuyan seems to have the only way to cooperate and support Zhao Wanxian.
Seeing Jiang Yuyan nodding, Zhao Wanxian was also overjoyed. He knew that the path he took was destined to not be very popular in the court, so if he wanted to climb up, he could only hug the commander-in-chief's thigh tightly and get the commander-in-chief's appreciation· ···················
In order to be appreciated by the commander-in-chief, in addition to being loyal, he must also make some achievements. Therefore, Zhao Wanxian has made up his mind to make some achievements in Jiyu, which will serve as a stepping stone for him to enter the Great Zhou Cabinet in the future. Paving stones!
And if you want to do this, it will be easier to get Jiang Yuyan's support and help. Although there are reports within the court that Jiang Yuyan has fallen out of favor, and the commander-in-chief is tired of this woman!
But Zhao Wanxian felt that since the commander-in-chief did not execute Jiang Yuyan this time, it meant that the commander-in-chief still had expectations for Jiang Yuyan, so Zhao Wanxian also regarded Jiang Yuyan as his target!
"Mrs. Wang, don't worry. With me, Zhao Wanxian, the development of your Rishengchang bank in Hebei and Henan is guaranteed. I believe our cooperation will be a win-win situation!"
Listening to the promise given by Zhao Wanxian, Jiang Yuyan felt a lot more at ease, and immediately spoke:
"I will still need your care in the future, Mr. Zhao!"
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! But before that, Mrs. Wang, can you do me a small favor so that I can give a big gift to the Marshal during his inspection?"
Seeing Zhao Wanxian mention this gift again, Jiang Yuyan also asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Zhao, how can I help?"
Zhao Wanxian preached seriously:
"······················"
After listening to Zhao Wanxian's words, Jiang Yuyan's expression immediately became uncertain. After a long time, she said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Zhao, you want me to submit a certificate!"
Zhao Wanxianwen
Yan smiled and shook his head and said:
"No! No! Mrs. Wang, you are assisting me in rectifying the officialdom in Hebei and Yu!"
"If this happens, I will personally tell the commander-in-chief Mrs. Wang about your achievements. I think the commander-in-chief will be very happy to know that you, Mrs. Wang, have awakened and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!"
Hearing the words "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face, then she raised her head and said to Zhao Wanxian:
"Master Zhao, isn't it enough that you got help from Master Zhang Zhiwen?"
Zhao Wanxian heard this and said seriously:
"Although Mr. Zhang has helped me a lot, the most important thing still needs to be provided by Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang, please remember that helping me is helping yourself. We all want Jiyu to become better. At this point We have common interests!"
Jiang Yuyan was silent for the duration of a cup of tea. After a complicated ideological struggle, Jiang Yuyan finally nodded and said in a deep voice to Zhao Wanxian:
"I will send someone to deliver what you want to your house, Mr. Zhao, at noon tomorrow..."
