Chapter two hundred and forty-eight
There was not even a decent stool in the military camp. The banquet was like raising a bonfire and roasting some meat. In addition, steaming the steamed buns with the simple stove carried by the army.
The evil dog picked up the steamed buns, made everything from the middle to two, and then cut out a piece of roasted mutton with oily oil, soaked it in hot water and squeezed it into vegetables, which was considered a delicacy.
"Mr. Gong, try the special food made by my loyal and brave army." This is a way to eat the Roujiamo or sandwich in later memories. It is now very popular among soldiers in the army.
Gong Qixia took it and took a bite. The fragrance of her lips and teeth remained. The strong aroma of the meat was mixed with the smell of vegetables, and the sweetness of steamed buns. The taste made him love it.
"Mr. Marquis, this is delicious. I'm going to open a shop in the city and sell it, and I'll make money by design." Gong Qixia used to be in Jiangning. Even if she wanted to buy some industries, she wouldn't have the capital. But now it's different. After a while, she will pay off her debts and still have surplus. This must not be exchanged for silver to hide it. Then she has to build some industries so that she can continue to flow.
"I have a good idea, it's not embarrassing to start a shop to make money." Sun Yu also took over one. His reputation was like this anyway. He went to do business and made money by himself. There was no problem with eating. It was hard to see the bottom of it.
"Mr. Marquis, we have mobilized more than 40,000 migrants this time. Isn't this a little too much?" Gong Qixia was originally here to show her face and make a familiar face, so she could only point the topic to the victims.
"It's still true, I can accept it, but with the original victims, the number of fields among them is extremely large. You should still consider it and not eat them all, and you must keep some in the public account." As long as you use your mind a little, you will know that more than 100,000 victims have been moved away by themselves. When the flood recedes, these fields must be unowned. If the account does not show any of them, this is seeking death.
"Don't worry, most of the land here will belong to the government." Gong Qixia was not stupid either. Most of the land was taken back to the government first. They took a small part and cashed it first. Then they used this cash bank to buy the land in the hands of the governor's mansion at a low price. In this way, they could all be reclaimed, and there was no problem on the surface.
"Oh, by the way, Daqiu, go and take the box in my backpack." Sun Yu suddenly remembered that Li Yu also gave Gong Qixia an inkstone, which almost forgot.
"Mr. Gong, this thing is given by Your Majesty, so you must take good care of it." Sun Yu pointed to the box held in Zhang Daqiu's hand and said.
"This, thank you, Marquis." Gong Qixia was ecstatic. He had been in Jiangning for so many years and didn't even smell a fart. Now, even the treasures he gave were held in his hands. The Zhenhai Marquis in front of him was probably three points higher in the heart of the king's king than he thought.
"I have always said that I will be convinced, this is what you deserve." Sun Yu waved his hand, finished eating the steamed buns in his hand, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea.
"Evil dog, let's change the taste of another roasted steamed bun." Sun Yu felt that this roasted steamed bun was also good. When he was always steamed, he thought of a way to change the taste.
"Can this steamed bun be roasted?" Gong Qixia was confused. It was the first time I heard of it.
"Why can't it work? Don't limit your thoughts too much. You can eat whatever you want. That is, there is no conditions, otherwise you can still eat fried ones." Sun Yu clapped his hands. People's thoughts are always full of confinement. Only by breaking confinement can you see a different world.
"The Marquis is really a scholar, and I admire you!" Gong Qixia felt that it was not unreasonable for Sun Yu to get to this point, at least he dared to think about it.
A moment later, Gong Qixia took two slices of baking
The crispy steamed bun slices, with slices of meat, make it more delicious.
The red sun gradually faded westward, and Gong Qixia should return to the city, so Sun Yu personally sent it to the gate of the military camp. This transaction basically ended here, and all of them will start tomorrow morning and head south.
The moment Gong Qixia turned around, she suddenly felt that she might have missed an opportunity and reached the sky in one step.
"Marty, the subordinates are of no use, but if there is something useful, they will never refuse as long as they say a word." Gong Qixia was cruel and turned around and said to Sun Yu. After all, she has been struggling in the officialdom for so many years. Of course, Gong Qixia knew that it was inappropriate to do this. She was very likely to make taboos when she was talking in a simple and profound way.
"There is really something. My Jianzhou Commercial Bank wants to open a branch in Chizhou. I will ask Lord Gong to take care of you in the future." Sun Yu of course knew what Gong Qixia meant. It would be impossible to say that he was not moved.
This Chizhou is located in the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If it can be taken over to his subordinates, there will be no harm. However, his strength is still weak and it may not be a good thing to show too much ambition. If he lets him take care of Jianzhou Commercial Bank, it will be a killing of two birds with one stone. He can test this person's character, and if it is spread, it will be a bit ugly and harmless.
"Don't worry, the marquis, I'll cover it with the lower official." Gong Qixia, who had originally just held a hint of luck, immediately expressed his opinion when he heard this. As the governor of a state, he was not easy to take care of a business.
Gong Qixia had eaten a little too much and walked slowly towards the city. By the time of the yamen, it was completely dark.
"Report to the governor, the three big grain merchants in the city are waiting in the yamen." As soon as Gong Qixia entered the gate, a minor official came to report. If it were normal, there would be no one in the front yard of the yamen, and now they are lighting oil lamps to work.
"What are they doing?" Gong Qixia asked indifferently. This was not the case before, so she didn't need to be humble.
"I don't know."
"Take them here and have tea!" Although Gong Qixia was dissatisfied with them, it was not easy to offend him too much. After all, there was a backer behind him, so there was no need.
"I have met the governor!" After a while, the three wealthy businessmen with silk and silk walked in with big belly, forming a sharp contrast with Gong Qixia who was wearing cotton clothes.
"Sit down, three of you are distinguished guests. Why do you have time to come to the yamen today?" Gong Qixia picked up the teacup and signaled them to drink tea, and took a sip himself. The yamen is so poor, but the tea leaves are still good. He has benefited from the one who left behind by the previous one.
"Mr. Gong, the people were affected by disasters before, and we were not willing to do enough. Please forgive me if there is any offense." Hu Guofu looked around and no one spoke, so he could only bite the bullet and go on.
"It's not a question, you're too serious. This way of trading is about your love and my wishes. Now that this matter has passed, don't mention it again." Gong Qixia thought that these three people came here, probably just to express their opinions to him, and everyone will continue to deal with them in the future.
"Okay, if you don't mention this matter, Lord Gong is really broad-minded and I admire him!" Hu Guofu was happy. This governor was much easier to talk to than he and others expected. Gu Bufan and Wu Tianhai next to him also responded, hoping to turn the matter over quickly. After handling the disaster victims, Gong Qixia could hold the throne of the governor, it would be different in the future.
"Three, what else do you have?" Although Gong Qixia revealed the previous incident, they had no friendship with each other. After saying this, it was time to leave.
"Well, Lord Gong, I heard that there is no surplus grain in the official warehouse. We urgently raised a batch. I wonder if Lord Gong is in need?" Hu Guofu tried his best to use the words.
Love is really embarrassing. I said that I had no energy to do, but now I have too much food again.
"Are you going to donate to me?" Gong Qixia guessed that the three of them were thinking about selling at a high price, but she never wanted to be stunned by the series of actions of the court. In particular, Zhenhai Hou actually brought a large number of grain with her. Moreover, those who had no food went south with Zhenhai Hou, and the demand for Chizhou suddenly decreased sharply, and they were trapped.
"Well, Lord Gong is kidding. We spent a lot of money on this food and finally raised it." Gu Bufan quickly spoke out, and the donation was nothing, and the shorts were gone.
"No money." Gong Qixia spread her hands. If she had money, she would not have written an IOU with you before. The money from the IOU was still paid back by Sun Yu.
"You can pay the credit first and then pay it back after the autumn harvest. We can trust you more than sir. Do you think you are?" Wu Tianhai also spoke on the side, trying his best to make the matter happen, otherwise he would be in trouble.
"It's the Ji, it's the Ji. Lord Gong's credibility is naturally trustworthy." They also knew about the situation in the official warehouse. They had dealt with the officials they captured before.
"What price?" Gong Qixia wanted to refuse, but this matter would be beneficial, so she asked patiently. After all, the broken river embankment must be repaired, the flooded areas must be cleaned, and at least the roads must be able to be carriages, which requires food supply.
"The current market price is two or three cents. We won't make money for the government. One or eight cents of silver and one stone. What do you think Lord Gong?" Hu Guofu looked hopeful. He sold it to the government before, but it was two or three cents. Currently, it costs two or three cents on the market, but it's just a waste of money and can't be sold.
"This matter is serious, and Japanese officials in Ming Dynasty must discuss it with everyone before making a decision." Gong Qixia felt that the price was good, and it was 10% off at once. But after looking at the expressions of the three people, I always felt something was wrong. Everyone wants to make money. The market price of two or three cents is worth one or eight cents?
"This matter is decided by a lord, so why should I be so troublesome?" Hu Guofu thought it was not good. He thought that this person came from Jiangning and was easy to fool. After all, his own cost was only one or eight coins, and even if he looked for him later, he would have a account to check. But if he discussed this matter with the people below, he would definitely be unable to fool him. Then He Zhiqian, after all, he had been through the officialdom for a long time, and could see the trick at a glance.
"I have to be careful in everything I have to do and not make mistakes." How did Gong Qixia take her into the ditch by just one sentence? I felt more and more that there was something wrong with it, so I refused to agree.
"Mr. Gong, this is our little intention, please accept it with a smile." Hu Guofu took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to Gong Qixia.
"It's true that there's something wrong." Gong Qixia thought secretly that these three people were all the masters who didn't see the rabbit and didn't show off their eagles. They could let them take the initiative to send money, and the benefits involved were very small. They glanced at it and found that it was the silver notes issued by the money house under the Han Palace in Chizhou, which were issued by the semicolons opened in Chizhou. The coupon was 1,000 taels, which was a considerable deal.
"I don't want to promote this, so I will take it back first." Gong Qixia Yi said righteously. He was poor before, but now it's different. He will soon have money. Can this only a thousand taels buy out his integrity?
"Mr. Gong, just be careful. Please accept it if you want to accept it." Hu Guofu was stunned. You are so poor that you don't accept gifts. You deserve to die of poverty.
