The matter of the transfer of the family business of Sicheng progressed rapidly with the support and promotion of the Cao Governor's Office, and Qi Feng was later called to the government office three days later, and everything was already in the books recorded by the government.
In this way, the Qi family's big house accounts for ninety percent of the wishes, but there is more than greed, and although they don't care much about the remaining one percent of Qi Su, they can bring it together in the future, which is also good.
During this period of time, the big house is like a New Year's holiday, laughter can be heard from afar, the master is happy, there are many rewards, even the most ordinary servants, can also pass through the side door of the three houses, shake off the red envelope in his hand, and proudly glance at those companions of the same status.
However, the excitement only lasted for a few days, and recently it suddenly went silent.
As soon as the big room entered the main hall of the courtyard, there was a person sitting on the main seat under the golden silk nanmu plaque, which was Qi Su's uncle Qi Guangyao.
On the left side of the chair is Qi Feng, and on the right is Zhao Ruige.
Zhao Ruige is the younger brother of Qi Guangyao's wife Zhao and his mother, and now he is also the ruling master of the Zhao family.
The faces of the three of them were all gloomy, and their brows were all wrinkled into the word 'Chuan'.
"Feng'er, what did the official post say, is the news confirmed?"
Qi Feng slapped the invitation he had just received on the table with a displeased expression, "The news we heard from the Beijing Mansion before, we didn't mention it on the post. ” "Then maybe there's room to maneuver?"
"Phew," Qi Feng took a sip, he looked at Zhao Ruige, raised the post and shook his hand, "Uncle, the invitations from this government have been sent, can there be leave?"
What kind of group banquet is there for no reason, I think the news is eighty percent true. ” Zhao Ruige hurriedly said: "Then what can we do?"
” "What can I do?"
Qi Feng shook off the post in his hand, eager to throw it on the ground and step on his feet.
Speaking of which, this matter is really quite mysterious.
Just after they watched the people from the government office register the forty percent, they were indeed happy for a few days, but not long after, news came from the capital.
It is said that the displaced people who are in drought in Mobei have chosen a day to enter Yangzhou, and most of them have been arranged by the imperial court in Jiaoyang County, north of Guangling City in Yangzhou.
This Jiaoyang County is also a big difference in Yangzhou, just because of one word, "poor." ” According to the topography, Yangzhou is in the hinterland of the middle section of the Guhan Canal, with two ferries, one east and one west, convenient shipping and prosperous trade.
Among them, the location of Guangling City is better, it is in the center of these two ferries, looking forward and backward, and taking advantage of the geographical advantage is to make a fortune the fastest, which gradually became the main house.
However, this Jiaoyang County is in the northernmost suburbs of Guangling City and the junction of neighboring cities, although it is attached to the government of Guangling City, but because it is not close to the water, it is difficult to transport by river, and the road is rugged and uneven, and it is inconvenient to transport by land, so it has been relatively poor.
Of course, if you really want to develop, it is not difficult, and the first thing is to build roads.
The prefects of Guangling Mansion all know this truth, but those who come here to be prefects are all temporarily serving for three years, mixing up their political achievements for promotion, how can they do such a difficult thing that is not necessarily pleasing to them.
In addition, when it comes to building roads, it is necessary to consult the superiors, approve the appropriations, and arrange miscellaneous labor, etc., which are all complicated things, and the term of office is almost done, and all the benefits are taken up by the next prefect.
This kind of drudgery, no stupid person will do it, anyway, Guangling Mansion has a lot of rich business, although Jiaoyang County is not a small place, but there are not many people, that small part of the regular tax can easily be covered up in the next year's performance appraisal.
Over time, fewer and fewer people moved in Jiaoyang County, and the poor could not move home, leaving only the old and weak women and children to stay in the county, and the young and strong went to the border towns to do some work.
I don't know how this dusty 'pearl' was corrected out by the Ministry of Households, and it happened that a group of displaced people from Mobei had nowhere to resettle, so the Ministry of Households proposed to screen out those who were innocent and give these rich states and counties a little tempering.
To put it bluntly, it is to resettle people in the past, and the officials of the prefecture and county are responsible for handling them, which happens to save even the labor of building roads and foundations, and at the same time settle down, which is the best of both worlds.
Since the capital house To speak, Yangzhou Prefecture is rich, and it is not difficult to raise more people, but the problem is that the Qi family is doing rice business.
Digging the river, although these homeless people are screened out and will not make trouble, but people always have to eat.
It is impossible for the imperial court to be reluctant to seek the near and far, and it can only negotiate with the local grain merchants when it specially transfers grain from the capital, and there are more ways to do this.
The official family adjusts the rice, and the price is lower than the market price, not only that, but a group of ministers who come to supervise the work, this 'dividend' is hard and uniform from this kind of purchase, the Qi family, as a rice merchant who accounts for the majority, does not need to think about it to know how much they will lose this time, especially their big house also accounts for ninety percent, and if it is not enough, it has to be taken out of the private house!
The most hateful thing is that Jiaoyang County also has the Qi family's rice shop, but the business is withering, and they often need the help of their peers in the city.
Thanks to the fact that they laughed at Qi Su for a long time at that time, they were able to pick up a benefit for nothing.
"Qi Su is really lucky, you can bump into it like this, brother-in-law, do you think it will be-" Zhao Ruige meant something, there are people in their capital, but the news still comes too late, could it be that Qi Su also has someone there?
Or is it better than them?
Qi Guangyao waved his hand indifferently, "Where did he come from to be so capable, where can he go to meet the powerful." ” "But this time, it's a real loss."
If Qi Su opens more shops in the north of the city, when land transportation is implemented, there will be a large flow of people, and they will be emptied of ninety percent, which is not as good as Qi Su's real one, and the final situation will be at most five or five open.
Coupled with the deed tax that was not small to the government office, they really suffered a dumb loss.
"There's no way to lose."
Qi Guangyao's eyes flashed slightly, "It's not going to hurt the foundation of our big house." ” "Yes, you can't go against the court."
Zhao Ruige paused for a while after speaking, looked at Qi Guangyao's face and continued: "If you want me to say, it is better to push Fu Yan to Qi Su together, and when the time comes, it will be better to have our ears in the second room than to be blind now." ” Qi Guangyao glanced at Zhao Ruige, "Zhao Ruige, what do you mean by this?"
” The Zhao family is the foreign family of Mrs.
Dafang, and the original financial resources are actually not much different from the Chu family, and with the support of Dafang, it is slightly better than the Chu family.
At the earliest time, the Zhao family was still in the silk business, and since the big house started to swallow Qi Su's few percent, after finding that they were not enough, they simply agreed to let the Zhao family take care of two percent of the ninety.
At this time, Zhao Ruige suddenly talked about Zhao Fuyan, what kind of wishful thinking he made, how could Qi Guangyao not see it.

Zhao Ruige laughed dryly, "Brother-in-law, how can I mean anything, I just rely on you to make some money, and I want to put a hand in the second room for you." ” At the same time, Zhao Ruige said in his heart: This old fox really can't hide anything from him.
Qi Su looks sick and weak, and the big house has not taken advantage of it for so many years, and finally made a lot of efforts this time, and it is still like this, Zhao Ruige feels that Qi Su must be extraordinary.
Fu Yan married into the Qi family, it is a double insurance for Zhao Gerui, in case the big house loses power in the future, he is also the father-in-law of the second room, anyway, the left and right are just a concubine's daughter, and they will not be used in the future, and it is easy to discard.
"Besides, I want to give Fu Yan to Qi Feng, but you didn't agree at the beginning."
Qi Guangyao didn't bother to poke him, and said casually: "Qi Feng and Yan'er are not suitable." ” Qi Feng pouted and didn't dare to speak, he actually wanted to ask, where was not suitable.
He also glanced at Zhao Fuyan, and like Chu Rao, he was very concerned in his heart, if it wasn't for his father's permission, he would have married him a long time ago.
Zhao Fuyan is different from Chu Rao, Chu Rao is born with a beautiful appearance, bright and snowy, happy and angry, with the delicate appearance of a woman, while Zhao Fuyan is fresh and gentle, Juanjuan is quiet and beautiful, every time she sees it, she smiles at him gently, and the two of them make him unable to resist the same.
The two women complement each other , Qi Feng didn't know how many times he had a dream of the blessing of Qi people, but now he didn't catch any of them, and he faintly wanted to give them all to Qi Su, thinking of this, Qi Feng even forgot the depression that he had suffered before.
"Uncle, how could Sister Fuyan like that sick seedling in the second room, don't be mistaken."
Zhao Gerui glanced back at Qi Feng, originally, it was nothing to marry Qi Feng, but his sister and brother-in-law couldn't look down on Fu Yan's identity, what could he do.
He waved his hand, "You know something." ” Qi Guangyao didn't know what he thought, "Then that's it, change a few days, let Fu Yan come over and walk around more, if you can become a flat wife, it will also be a good thing." ” "Eh, okay."
"You go back first, I still have something to say to Feng'er."
Qi Guangyao watched Zhao Ruige go out of the hall door and walked away, before he said to Qi Feng: "You go find someone to check, Qi Su has any dark lines in the Beijing Mansion." ” The Zhao family is an outsider, even if Qi Guangyao is suspicious of Qi Su, he will not show it on the spot, and only after waiting for someone to leave will he instruct his son.
"Yes, Dad."
Qi Feng still remembered Fang Cai's words, "Dad, why did you ask your uncle to push Fu Yan to Qi Su." ” Qi Guangyao was already in a bad mood, seeing that his eldest son was so old and only thinking about women, he was angry and slashed the back of Qi Feng's head.
"Dad, what are you doing with me?"
"Don't you marry Fuyan and marry your sister?
Let you install a subordinate, you won't be able to do it for a few years!
He didn't have to care about Zhao Ruige's thoughts, because he couldn't fight Qi Su, but people should also install one.
Qi Feng muttered when he heard this, "That's Qi Su, he doesn't recruit people, and now all the people in his house are left by his grandfather, and they don't look at the face of our big house, and Ziyan still has some eyebrows." ” "What are you talking about?"
Qi Guangyao frowned.
"Dad, it's nothing, I'm just wondering if Qi Su is going to this gathering."
Qi Feng pouted.
Qi Guangyao snorted coldly, "The official family's post, when did he go." ” "Yes."
Qi Feng sighed, it seems that he can't see his sister-in-law, it would be nice if Qi Su went this time...
