: ☆Chapter 45 New Ideas
Naturally, Zhu Xiangxiang didn't know what his father said to Bai Pingyou, but he saw Bai Pingyou came and stayed in the study for a long time.
Afterwards, although Bai Pingyou also left with a smile on his face, he gave Zhu Xiangxiang a meaningful look.
Zhu Xiangxiang didn't know why, so he ran over to act like a baby with County Magistrate Zhu, and wanted to ask what was going on, but was prevaricated by County Magistrate Zhu.
She became more and more suspicious.
Parents will naturally treat her well, but she likes to distinguish everything clearly, and she feels uncomfortable if she is unclear.
In fact, County Magistrate Zhu has been a little busy recently, and he is in a normal mood. The court has been very stable for decades, and has never fought a war. Even though the neighboring country Dashun occasionally makes small moves, it is always unable to cause any disturbances.
Maybe it's because Tian's family is getting older, and their ideas are becoming more and more weird. They actually want to reduce the monthly silver of all civil servants by 10%.
Naturally, everyone was extremely reluctant, but it would not be his turn to be a small county magistrate like him. However, since the news got out, he was still a little depressed, and the key point was that he It is also necessary to appease the mood of the arresters in the county government. This matter is really not done by humans.
Let's just say that he is one of the ten thousand people who are unwilling. Is there something wrong with his brain? He even reduced his salary.
It took only a few days for Zhu Xiangxiang to hear about it.
Looking at his father's unattractive face, Zhu Xiangxiang thought wildly.
Why did the ancient civil servants still cut their salaries! Of course, those big officials don't take it seriously, and people like them can do it, but for those fast catchers, this is a lot of money, and ah, Zhu Xiangxiang and them I have a lot of contacts, and I know that they are not the kind of people who make money and spend it, who doesn't need this money to support their families!
County magistrate Zhu, no matter what he does, is a literati. Although he loves money, he can't be said to be a mean and corrupt person. Basically, he doesn't take money that is outrageous. The stinginess is all about saving.
Zhu Xiangxiang is in charge of the family's accounts, so he naturally knows the family's situation, so he can only say that as a county magistrate, he is more than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom.
Moreover, the folk customs in southern Hunan are simple and honest, and there are no outright treacherous people, and there are no cases. Of course, even if there is such a case, her father would not dare to take money from others to eliminate disasters. After all, when it comes to major events, she Dad can figure it out.
Originally working in the county government, it would be nice to occasionally collect some protection fees or something, and there are no major projects. Thinking about it, these people are also depressed. Passive sabotage is not good no matter what industry you are in.
Although this salary reduction is just a rumor, everyone is obviously affected by it.
In fact, the biggest problem is money. If you can boost everyone's morale, you have to start with this aspect.
Zhu Xiangxiang thought for a while, then rushed to his father and passed.
Seeing Zhu Xiangxiang's radiant face, County Magistrate Zhu and Bai Pingyou who were also in the study were stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Bai Pingyou was also there, and Zhu Xiangxiang was there in a daze. When did he come here? Why doesn't she know?
Magistrate Zhu has always been a favorite of his daughters, Zhu Xiangxiang broke in so recklessly, and was put in an ordinary house, and would have been reprimanded by his father long ago, but County Magistrate Zhu seemed fine.
"Is there something important for Xiangxiang?" He naturally knew his daughter. If there was no important matter, how could she be so anxious and impulsive, and looking at her little face, she was full of high spirits.
Bai Pingyou was also there, Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated for a while, and was blessed.
"My cousin is here too. It's because Xiangxiang is reckless. Xiangxiang has nothing to do. He just came to visit his father."
No one would believe what she said, under normal circumstances, that's all, but Bai Pingyou just likes to tease Zhu Xiangxiang.
"I'm so anxious to run away after nothing, I'm afraid my cousin doesn't want my cousin to hear. My cousin is really sad." He looked a little aggrieved.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Xiangxiang just rolled his eyes when the magistrate Zhu was not paying attention.
"My cousin was joking. How could Xiangxiang do that?"
This Bai Pingyou became more and more daring. He took a step forward and tried to support Zhu Xiangxiang, causing Zhu Xiangxiang to retreat.
"My cousin hasn't seen my cousin for a few days, but I think of the agreement with my cousin on the cruise ship, and I don't know what the cousin's idea is. My cousin misses me every day at home, but I don't see my cousin sending a letter to tell me. My heart is tormented. "
Zhu Xiangxiang saw that his words were not clear, and his beautiful eyes were full of anger. Fortunately, her father was enlightened and knew about it a long time ago.
Otherwise, after hearing what he said about this matter, wouldn't she be wronged?
Seeing her daughter angry, her nephew still teased her daughter without knowing how serious it was.
County magistrate Zhu is not happy, who let this brat tease his girl in front of him.
Against him.
What's the matter, did he forget what he said after three days?
Last time, he played tricks on him in an attempt to lure his precious daughter home, and now he dares to do this in front of him, he is really audacious.
"Pingyou, now, you don't take me seriously any more!" He wants to protect his good daughter.
Bai Pingyou naturally knew what Magistrate Zhu meant.
It's not a big deal either.
"Uncle wronged Pingyou, and Pingyou is infatuated with Xiangxiang." He wrung his hands slightly aggrieved, like a little daughter-in-law.
Even County Magistrate Zhu couldn't help being happy seeing his mannerisms.
"Okay, you. Put away your tricks." He gave Bai Pingyou another meaningful look.
"Xiangxiang, you come in too, if you have anything to say, just say it, it doesn't matter, this Pingyou is not an outsider."
Seeing that the county magistrate Zhu said so, although Zhu Xiangxiang was a little reluctant, he still entered the door.
"It's just that I heard that the imperial court intends to lower the salary. Although this matter is not sure whether it will be true, but seeing that you worry about this matter every day, father, I have thought of an idea."
Seeing what Zhu Xiangxiang said, County Magistrate Zhu and Bai Pingyou looked very interested.
With their encouraging eyes, Zhu Xiangxiang began to say: "Look, our geographical location in southern Shonan can be regarded as a small county with a particularly large passenger flow."
"Well, so what." Bai Pingyou asked.
"The flow of passengers is large, so naturally there are more people who pass the customs. Of course, we can't collect any money, but we can sell it! You see, this is an idea I thought of for our county government's arresters. .Left, but the big brothers of the county government have to take turns guarding the city gate. We can let them sell things. We have so many specialties here, so we can sell anything! Even if they don’t buy it, we can’t find trouble Well, we don't do such things as forced buying and selling, but we can still sell things for a while. After selling things, we don't want any of the money, and all of them belong to the policemen on duty. Isn't it good? ?”
Sure enough, the two became interested a lot after hearing what she said.
However, County Magistrate Zhu also raised his own doubts: "But if we don't want it, then although they are subsidizing the family, what about us? I am a county magistrate, and I have a master, so we can't go to the gate of the city to sell?"
"Of course you can't, but what if all the goods they sell have to come from us?" She laughed.
"My cousin really has a lot of ideas."
Bai Pingyou thought he could make money enough.
But looking at this little cousin, she has a lot of thoughts, and she is very thoughtful.
"Look, when we sell things, we can't be blunt. If you say that a big man is guarding the gate of the city to sell bluntly, and that person is a fast catcher, it will inevitably make people feel bad. If it spreads like this , Yu's father's reputation is also bad, and ah, think about it, if it is passed on layer by layer, will my father still be the county magistrate?"
"What should I do?"
"Training, we need to give them on-the-job training, and we must make them feel that buying something is a bargain and worth the money, rather than being forced to buy and sell."
"My cousin is really smart." Bai Pingyou was actually proud. But Zhu Xiangxiang and Zhu county magistrate have black lines on their faces, I said buddy, what are you talking about, when did this Xiangxiang become your family! It's too early for you to think.
Receiving the disdainful gazes of the two, Bai Ping smiled more like a fox.
"Uncle, how about this? You all want to buy some local specialties. Why don't you leave this to me? Let's go from floor to floor, and everyone will earn some money."
Zhu Xiangxiang was ashamed of this guy's shamelessness.
"I said cousin, who said that if you are poor, you will have money left over, who said that your family has a big business? This is selling some small specialty products at the gate of the city. You can also do such a small business that is stuck between your teeth. Appreciate it?" Zhu Xiangxiang complained.
Bai Pingyou was not unhappy because of her complaints, but cheerful.
"My future lady is so smart, I am so honored, and I also thought about doing something for my father-in-law's family. In this way, I don't want my meager profits, and I will give it to my cousin as pocket money. What does my cousin think?" ?" His appearance made Zhu's father and daughter stunned.
But County Magistrate Zhu reacted faster.
"It's so embarrassing. My family can't afford to support a girl from the Zhu family. I need pocket money from my future husband's family." Even though he said that, the county magistrate Zhu couldn't stop his smile.
"Uncle, you're being polite. This is what I should do. Besides, what can't be afforded is just a little pocket money! My cousin is well-dressed, and my fiancé also has a bright face."
Looking at the smiles of these two people, Zhu Xiangxiang was not polite.
"Then Xiangxiang will not be polite, cousin should keep his word."
Hearing her words, Bai Pingyou looked hurt: "Cousin doesn't believe me?"
"Xinxin." The tone was very perfunctory.
Seeing the bickering between the children, County Magistrate Zhu smiled thoughtfully.
This boy from the Bai family is really not simple. Is he devouring it?
Poor his daughter's clever temper, she didn't find out what the Bai family boy was trying to do.
Yes, Zhu Xiangxiang really didn't think of Bai Pingyou's intentions. He said that he would give his 10% of the profit to himself. She also felt that it was probably because of his relationship with Zhu County Magistrate. Poor girl Xiangxiang, smart Instead of being misunderstood by cleverness.
"Okay, since this matter is feasible, I will discuss it with everyone in the county government, but don't think too much about it."
"Of course I know, but it's always possible to make less money from this business. Moreover, there is definitely a market for people coming and going from our county. Those passing merchants are not poor people."
This thing is still good. When everyone in the county government heard this statement, they were also eager to try it. No one always dislikes money, right?
But as for the lecture, it was useless for Zhu Xiangxiang. Instead, Bai Pingyou found a suitable person to go there.
In Bai Pingyou's words, Xiangxiang is still a girl who has not left the court anyway, and it is inevitable that people will gossip if she shows her face in public. It's better to let him find someone, he can still find a suitable candidate.
Hearing what Bai Pingyou said, everyone in the Zhu family also felt that it was reliable to do this, so they felt that he was safe.
Zhu Xiangxiang also felt a lot more relaxed without having to train these policemen. She made an idea.
And she really thinks that this idea is useful, not that it can make a lot of money, but it is also good to supplement everyone's household. You must know that these arrests are not as carefree as everyone thinks, they also need to support their families.
In addition, in fact, Zhu Xiangxiang is also thinking that if the business of this local product is really done well at the city gate, then presumably some smart people will follow suit and sell things, which will boost the economy of southern Shonan.
I don't know if Zhu Xiangxiang is really turning stone into gold. Every time she comes up with an idea, it is very successful. The previous newspaper thing was the same, and this time the city gate peddled the idea.
At the beginning of the first day, County Magistrate Zhu deliberately sent Erhei, who is usually the most clever and capable, to guard the gate. In fact, there are only four gatekeepers in southern Shonan every day. After all, it is a small county. It is an exaggeration to say that the account is not closed at night, but it is really no big deal.
There are a total of 28 arrests in the county government, which happens to rotate every seven days, and in order to avoid running on each other, they are also asked to sell different things. Of course, as for what to choose to sell, it is still adjusted in advance.
The reason why Er Hei was allowed to go there on the first day was because he hoped that the results would be more significant and set an example for others. Sure enough, Er Hei's temper to be willing to deal with something that would come up was a huge advantage. Rita sold well, and many of them who were not on duty at the city gate also took the time to come and look around, saying they didn't want to see the specific situation.
But seeing that the Erhei who sold the best on the first day had a good harvest, while Xiao Du, who sold the worst, earned enough money to be worth a day's salary.
Everyone is even more enthusiastic now.
Seeing that all the guards of the city gate made money, many people started to sell things like fast catchers not far from the city gate.
No matter who is the fast guard guarding the city gate, the price is the same, and it is not higher than the market price. Therefore, no one has anything bad to say.
It didn't take long for the county town to come here to learn from it.
When Xiao Song followed Zhu Nannan to learn scriptures, he said with emotion: "My father is embarrassed to come here to learn scriptures directly. He said he wanted me to visit the front station first and see how the small business here is. If it's really good, he will come over and have a good time with you. Dad, please teach me."
Zhu Nannan is not as old as before. Although he is not a promising young man, he is still much stronger than before.
Now there are only three of them left in their dude group of four, as for Xiao Liu, he has already left.
I don't know why, but after Zhu Xiangxiang talked with Xiao Liu that day, within a few days, Xiao Liu was sent to the capital by Liu Zhifu. He worshiped a famous teacher there.
"My father did it for everyone's benefit. A few days ago, he said that he wanted to reduce his salary. Everyone was a little negative. Later, my father came up with this idea. But you see, the results are good. All the money they sell is their own. So they are very motivated, but my father also said. If you delay your job because of this, you will also be sent home. You can't put the cart before the horse." This time Zhu Nannan finally learned a little bit, he didn't mention it It was Zhu Xiangxiang's idea.
"You can pull it down, the county government doesn't want money, it's all theirs, what can your father do?" Xiao Song didn't believe this at all.
"Really, you still don't believe it, but the local products sold here must be wholesaled at merchants designated by the county government. My father earns this money."
Xiao Song thought about it, thought of the trick, and gave a thumbs up: "That's right, the more they sell, the more your father will earn."
"Well, we all get the goods from Bai's house. We only need to give them the capital, and we don't need to pay immediately. They don't get a penny of interest."
Xiao Song naturally knew that this Bai family was Zhu Nannan's uncle's family, and now Bai Pingyou, the head of the Bai family, was also Zhu Xiangxiang's fiancé.
"You guys get the moon first if you are close to the water."
"That is, my cousin originally meant that he made 10% of the profit and then wholesaled the goods. As for the 10% of the profit, I used it as pocket money for my sister. And my father added 10% to wholesale it to the police, but my sister said that we We are all a family, so there is no need to forget about it. Our family earns 20%." Zhu County Magistrate also did not hide these things from him in order to let Zhu Nannan practice.
Now Zhu Nannan really admires his sister, it's amazing. Absolute money-making master!
I don't even know what my sister thinks about those ideas.
The reason why Zhu Nannan explained this matter in such detail is to let Xiao Song know that if they approve the goods outside, the profit should be only 10%.
Xiao Song was originally the most thoughtful and intelligent among the few, so he naturally understood what he meant.
Not only did he understand, but he also guessed that it might be Zhu Xiangxiang's idea if it was the idea!
It's like the Shonan Daily they started.
At the beginning, it was really just making a little money, but it didn't take long to see the advantages.
Even his father wondered whether to run such a newspaper in their local area. After all, after maturity and precipitation, the cost of advertising is really considerable. Moreover, in many cases, it can also influence public opinion.
County Magistrate Song has never cared much about his son, and he also knows that his son is stable, but seeing what he has done recently, County Magistrate Song really feels that it is really good to be able to get in touch with the Zhu family more. Although I love money, I really have ideas in this step by step.
"Well, I see, I will have a good talk with my father when I go back."
Zhu Nannan patted him on the shoulder.
The few people who used to be, didn't all calm down a little bit, and they all learned to grow up.
It didn't take long before it was confirmed that the salary reduction was a rumor. Zhu Xiangxiang curled his lips when he heard about it, but as long as the salary is not reduced, it is fine. As for whether it was the real Tianjia who expressed such thoughts before or rumors from outsiders, these are not important.
After all, their lives are still going on, and because of this small problem, they have thought of a new way to make money for everyone. Even if it is not much, it is still an extra penny.
With no salary reduction and extra income, many people are beaming.
During these days, Bai Pingyou came over more frequently.
Zhu Xiangxiang saw Bai Pingyou as soon as he entered the lobby.
Now the two are also familiar with each other a lot.
"My cousin comes here quite often." And every time the two meet, they always bicker.
"It's like not seeing each other like three autumns." Now he always has to say some specious things.
Zhu Xiangxiang blushed. Although he said it many times and she told herself countless times not to take it seriously, she still couldn't control her face.
"I just don't know how many years have passed since my cousin and Miss Caidie." She looked jealous.
Doesn't he like to talk about such things?
Then she is also impolite.
"Miss Caidie and I are just friends, not what my cousin thinks. My cousin can't slander me."
To say that this colorful butterfly has soared all the way in the oiran competition. Zhu Xiangxiang, who watched it, was amazed, and even made her a topic for several episodes.
Now this butterfly girl has entered Beijing.
Since Bai Pingyou wanted to say those ambiguous words, Xiangxiang stabbed him with Miss Caidie.
It seems that your confidante has abandoned you! See what else you search for!
"Whether I have slandered my cousin or not, you just need to know."
"I know that my cousin likes me, so I will not let her down. Cousin, don't want me to be involved with Miss Caidie. I just see her as a famous lady who is deeply involved in fireworks. I feel a little pity. Sure enough, the flaws do not conceal the advantages, and Miss Caidie will naturally have a bright future."
Yo ho! Tsk tsk, it's really better to say than to sing.
