After a stick of incense, Zhao Wanxian came to Tingyuxuan with great satisfaction. It can be said that he gained a lot from this meeting with Jiang Yuyan and got everything he wanted... ········
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Zhao Wanxian believed that this meeting with Jiang Yuyan was a good start for his subsequent term as the Chief Minister of Hebei and Henan Province, laying a good and solid foundation. Zhao Wanxian had even begun to look forward to Ye's appointment half a month later. The situation of Ming Sheng arriving in Yujing!
With this idea in mind, Zhao Wanxian also got on the carriage back home. However, what the Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan did not expect was that as soon as he got home and before his buttocks were warm, his confidant butler Zhao San handed him a letters.
"Sir, this is a letter from Master Zhang Zhiwen!"
Zhao Wanxian was a little surprised when he said this. He didn't know what Zhang Zhiwen wanted to see him for at this time, but after a slight hesitation, Zhao Wanxian opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter!
As soon as he glanced at Zhao Wanxian, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then his expression immediately became very ugly. After a moment, he threw the letter on the desk, and then waved at Zhao San, who immediately bowed Leave and leave Zhao Wanxian a quiet and private space!
After Zhao San left, Zhao Wanxian punched the desk in front of him, which was made of huanghuali and worth hundreds of taels of silver.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk trembled, and the furnishings on the desk became a bit messy...
Zhao Wanxian really couldn't figure out how he offended this man named Gu, and why he had to fight against him?
Isn't it clear what you meant by leaving the dossier to him?
Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace and not to offend the river?
Have you ever thought twice about getting kicked in the head by a donkey?
He also took the initiative to report this matter to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Where did he report it to the commander-in-chief?
Are you happy to be dismissed from the position of Minister of Civil Affairs and demoted three levels in a row?
You've lost a thousand dollars to yourself, and you want to drag me into the water?
Did I, Zhao Wanxian, kill your father or steal your wife to make you so irreconcilable with me?
Zhao Wanxian really wants to ask Gu Sansi now, what do you think, how much hatred and resentment we have, so that you must do this!
Zhao Wanxian really didn't expect that Gu Sansi not only handed over the dossier, but also said that he had given it to him!
Although he was very confused about Gu Sansi's intention of doing this, Zhao Wanxian knew very well that he was covered in yellow mud now, and it was either shit or shit. There must be many people who thought that he would use this file to threaten Gu Sansi, and then Gu Sansi He rejected his own threat and chose to self-destruct!
But the conscience of heaven and earth, he really did not mean to threaten when he handed this file to Gu Sansi. Zhao Wanxian did this on the one hand to show his kindness, and on the other hand, he also showed his strength, so that Gu Sansi would stop messing with him behind his back... ················
Zhao Wanxian didn't care what other people thought, but Zhao Wanxian had to consider what the commander-in-chief thought about this matter!
According to Zhang Zhiwen’s letter, although the marshal removed Gu Sansi from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and demoted Gu Sansi three levels in a row, from the second rank to the third rank, the most important thing is that the marshal allowed Gu Sansi to continue acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. functions to see the effects!
It can be seen from this that although the commander-in-chief punished Gu Sansi severely enough, he was not too angry with Gu Sansi. Demoting to three levels is just an explanation to the officials in the court!
After all, the commander-in-chief handled the previous cases of Liu Zhengyue and Sun Jing'an without mercy and with an iron fist. Therefore, if he let Gu Sansi go lightly in this matter, it would inevitably attract some unnecessary criticism in the court, so on the bright side Gu Sansi must be dealt with emphatically, leaving everyone else speechless!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wanxian couldn't help but sigh. Things were just as he expected. Although the things in the file caused Gu Sansi to stumble, they were not enough to completely overthrow Gu Sansi. The commander-in-chief had deep feelings for Gu Sansi.
I still trust him very much. I believe that after a period of time when things calm down, Gu Sansi will be reinstated!
And this is by no means good news for him, Zhao Wanxian. Although he, Zhao Wanxian, does not want to have a deep grudge with Gu Sansi, but Luohua is ruthless and what Gu Sansi has done has completely severed the relationship between the two of them. It is possible for personal well water not to interfere with river water··························
As the saying goes, there are many friends and many roads, many enemies and many walls. To be honest, Zhao Wanxian really doesn’t want to become enemies with Gu Sansi from the bottom of his heart!
After all, Gu Sansi has won the trust of the commander-in-chief, and his position as Minister of Civil Affairs is too critical. If Gu Sansi wants to make things difficult for you and does some tricks behind your back, don't take it easy!
But what Gu Sansi did is really hard to understand. I don’t know why he did it!
In addition to possible difficulties caused by Gu Sansi in the future, Zhao Wanxian also realized that he had a new trouble!
Although the commander-in-chief has only dealt with Gu Sansi in this matter and has not punished himself, Zhao Wanxian knows that the commander-in-chief will never let him go so easily. After all, his role in this matter does not matter. Disgraceful and had a very bad impact!
If his predictions were correct, he would definitely ask about this matter when the commander-in-chief inspects Jiyu in more than half a month!
I must think carefully about how to explain this matter to the commander-in-chief. If I can't explain this matter well, my position as the chief envoy to Hebei Province may be unstable!
But the only possible good news about this matter is that Zhao Wanxian did not expect that Zhang Zhiwen would write this letter to himself to tell him the situation...
Although even if Zhang Zhiwen did not write this letter to him, he would receive the news in the next few days, but Zhao Wanxian was quite surprised to receive this letter from Zhang Zhiwen. After all, Zhang Zhiwen was able to write this letter to him and put things into perspective. Telling yourself this explains Zhang Zhiwen's attitude!
You must know that the one you have offended this time is Gu Sansi, the Minister of Civil Affairs. This is the real commander-in-chief's closest confidant and the current pillar of the Yijing court!
To be honest, Zhao Wanxian's previous contact with Zhang Zhiwen was just to find out more about Ji Yu's situation from Zhang Zhiwen, and to contact Jiang Yuyan through Zhang Zhiwen!
It has been rumored by the Yi Jing court before that the reason why Jiang Yuyan was able to climb onto the Marshal's throne was because of Zhang Zhiwen's hard work behind his back!
It was said that Zhang Zhiwen dedicated Jiang Yuyan to the commander-in-chief because he wanted Jiang Yuyan to blow the pillow in the commander-in-chief's ears, so that he, Zhang Zhiwen, could rise to the top!
But what Zhang Zhiwen never expected was that although Jiang Yuyan climbed into the Marshal's bed, Zhang Zhiwen would not be promoted. He even offended the eldest lady An Miao by dedicating Jiang Yuyan to the Marshal. This also caused Zhang Zhiwen to waste several years in the position of deputy chief envoy to Hebei and Henan Province and was never promoted...
Thinking of this, Zhao Wanxian seemed to realize something. Although Gu Sansi had always kept a distance from the eldest lady and others and did not participate in their affairs!
But after all, Gu Sansi is the eldest young master’s teacher, so he will definitely side with the eldest lady in the future!
So from this perspective, it is understandable to understand Zhang Zhiwen's thoughts. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Zhang Zhiwen seemed to intend to join a group with him to keep warm. Thinking of this, Zhao Wanxian thought carefully for a while and then silently shook his head.
Although he didn't know what Zhang Zhiwen meant, the path he chose, Zhao Wanxian, was to cling to the commander-in-chief's thigh as a direct minister. Therefore, joining Zhang Zhiwen to keep warm would change his situation of being isolated and helpless in the court.
But fundamentally speaking, it is not conducive to his character as a direct minister in the eyes of the commander-in-chief, and he is also suspected of being a crony!
And the most important thing is that according to his understanding, although Zhang Zhiwen has been ostracized in Hebei and Henan in the past few years because of his disagreement with those people, this does not mean that the bottom of Zhang Zhiwen is clean!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wanxian also gave up the idea of writing a reply to Zhang Zhiwen. In order to prevent Zhang Zhiwen from
The thunderstorm that day in the future will involve me, so I'd better not get too close to him...

Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
Amidst the crackling sound of abacus in Nuan Pavilion, An Miaoyi sat on a chair and read today's Yijing Daily with relish. Although Ye Baode's death had a great negative impact on Dadongsheng Company and Yijing Daily.
However, after getting Ye Mingsheng's permission, An Miaoyi also funded the purchase of Hongyun Newspaper, the publisher of Yijing Daily, from Dadongsheng Company, making Hongyun Newspaper an industry under the name of Ye Mansion, and continued to make Hongyun Newspaper a business under the name of Ye Mansion. Those down-and-out scholars wrote what they liked to read.
With Ye Fu as its backer, Yijing Daily, which was already developing rapidly, immediately stepped onto a new level, and now has a dual-power situation with Yijing Morning News.
In addition to letting Yijing Daily write what she likes, An Miaoyi also became interested in running Hongyun Newspaper. Because in order to seize the market, Yijing Daily has always adopted a low-price strategy. This has also caused Yijing Daily to write what she likes. Although the daily newspaper sold a lot, it did not make any money. On the contrary, there was still a shortfall in the account!
In the past, the reason why Yijing Daily could continue to be run was entirely because Ye Baode wanted to use Yijing Daily to please An Miaoyi, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to use money from Dadongsheng Company to donate blood to Hongyun Newspaper, the publisher of Yijing Daily.
And now that Hongyun Newspaper and Yijing Daily have become Ye Mansion's industries, An Miaoyi also needs to face this problem... ·
At this time, there were not only An Miaoyi and Ye Mansion's maids but also five accountants in Nuange. These five people were all famous actuaries in Yi Jing. An Miaoyi invited them here today. Just to calculate the business performance of Hongyun Newspaper!
At this moment, a nanny came over and reported to An Miaoyi:
"Madam, Director Su of the Second Manufacturing Bureau said that he can give Hongyun Newspaper Company a 30% discount on its printing!"
Hearing that Su Junjie was only willing to give a 30% discount on the printing of Yijing Daily, An Miaoyi felt a little unhappy, but she did not get angry, but looked at a thin, tall and elegant middle-aged man not far away. asked:
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Faced with An Miaoyi's inquiry, Mr. Chen did not answer immediately for the sake of caution. Instead, he silently calculated in his mind before answering:
"Madam, this can reduce the cost of Hongyun Newspaper Agency by half!"
"How much does it cost in terms of silver?"
"Based on the current sales volume of Yijing Daily, we can probably save at least three hundred taels of silver every month!"
An Miaoyi frowned slightly as soon as these words came out. According to current calculations, Yi Jing Daily's monthly deficit is about six hundred taels of silver. Although it is not much alone, it adds up to a deficit of seven thousand two hundred taels a year. Two taels of silver is quite a lot!
If this deficit is allowed to continue to occur, although it will not have much impact, it will somewhat damage An Miaoyi's reputation... ·······
An Miaoyi's idea is very simple. She does not expect Yijing Daily to make money to subsidize the Ye family's finances, but Yijing Daily and even the entire Hongyun Newspaper cannot continue to lose money. Hongyun Newspaper must achieve financial balance!
An Miaoyi's original idea was to investigate the internal reasons of Hongyun Newspaper to see if there were any problems within the newspaper that led to losses. But on the other hand, he also planned to start from the printing side and ask the Second Manufacturing Bureau responsible for printing to give a discount. Hongyun Newspaper has an internal price!
Su Junjie, the director of the Second Manufacturing Bureau, was also very sensible. As soon as An Miaoyi expressed his intention, he immediately sent the internal price!
But this internal price is not satisfactory to An Miaoyi, but An Miaoyi also knows that the second manufacturing bureau is different from the first manufacturing bureau. The second manufacturing bureau needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses, and Su Junjie, the director, is not under pressure.
Small, 30% off may not be too small!
After thinking about it for a while, An Miaoyi gave up the idea of forcing Su Junjie and ordered to the grandmother beside her:
"The ginseng that has been delivered to the mansion recently is pretty good. Aunt Wang, please pick a few and send them to Director Su to thank him on behalf of Hongyun Newspaper Company!"
"yes!"
After saying that, An Miaoyi also started thinking about other problems to solve the Hongyun Newspaper's loss, but at this moment Qiqige walked into the Nuan Pavilion.
Looking at Qiqige's solemn expression, An Miaoyi also understood that something important was happening. With a stern look on her face, she ordered the accountant and the maid in the Nuan Pavilion:
"You all go down first!"
After these people left, Qiqige also reported to An Miaoyi:
"My wife, the Bai family, lent Chen Wanting and her family 50,000 taels of silver through an underground Q bank..."
