Chapter 1555 Preparation before departure
"Mother Liu, later you can ask the girls and ladies who have recently joined Jingxiang Garden one by one if they are willing to go south with me, and tell them clearly that maybe they will come back in a year or two. You may not come back to the capital in three to five years, or you may never come back to the capital. If you are willing to go south with me, your monthly salary will be doubled. If you don't want to go south, don't force it. There is no need to embarrass them, reward them with ten taels of silver as a reward for serving me during this period, and then transfer their deeds to the Marquis. Of course, you old people who follow me don't need to ask, just go with me. Every day, the monthly money will be doubled."
Li Shu was supported by the girl and walked in the garden to eat. When she was tired, she sat in the pavilion to rest and called Liu Ma for instructions.
“Miss is so kind-hearted. It’s our blessing to be able to follow her, and it’s also a blessing for them. The monthly salary is much more than that of other hospitals. Why do we need to double it to receive such a high monthly salary? Money, we are worried. If any of them is unwilling to follow the lady south, they are traitors whose consciences have been eaten by dogs. Why would they be rewarded with money?" Liu Ma said.
"Giggles, why are you so flustered? Just serve me from now on." Li Shu chuckled, and then said to Liu's mother, "If any of them are unwilling to go south, there is no need to blame them. After all, they Most of their families are near the capital, and it is human nature for them not to abandon their families and go south. They have served me diligently for a period of time, and they deserve a little reward. Moreover, if Brother Zhu is transferred back to the capital in the future, he will need manpower to open a mansion and build a hospital. They will set an example for anyone who is willing to serve me. , I don’t hesitate to reward you, this will make it easier to recruit people.”
"Yes, I will listen to Miss." Mother Liu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, you go down." Li Shu nodded, sent Liu Ma off, and then told Qin'er, "Qin'er, you can pay a hundred taels of silver from the account. Take my token and go to Mrs. Xu's house to pay my respects to Mrs. Xu for me, and give the banknote to Mrs. Xu at your convenience if Mrs. Xu asks. Why did you say that I will leave for Yingtian soon to be with my husband, so I divided the profit of the store in the second half of the year in advance?"
"Miss, Mrs. Xu, what is she? There's no need to do anything, it's just an empty name of a partnership, and you only get so much money." Qin'er said distressedly.
"How much do you think?" Li Shu asked with a smile.
"Of course there are more." Qin'er nodded vigorously.
"Haha, I still think it's too little. It would be better if there were more." Li Shu smiled slightly.
Qin'er looked confused.
What's wrong with the lady? She gives money to people, but she thinks it's not enough, and she actually thinks that more would be better? !
Seeing this, Li Shu could not help but poke Qin'er's head gently and explained, "Although Mrs. Xu only has a name, this name is worth thousands of gold. Mrs. Xu represents the Xu Mansion. The owner of the Xu Mansion is Mr. Xu Ge. Not counting Zizilou, we currently have a total of eighteen shops in the capital, oh, and Brother Zhu’s three Zhuji Fast Foods, a total of twenty-one. Shop. It seems that Mrs. Xu only has a name, but in fact, our business has a background in the Xu Mansion, and we invisibly enjoy the influence and protection of Mr. Xu Ge from the Xu Mansion. This is why our shop enjoys various taxes. The reason why he received preferential treatment and was protected from being exploited by officials at all levels was because of the influence of Mr. Xu Ge. Neither Brother Zhu nor the brand of Linhuai Hou Mansion were qualified. After one year, only taxes and fees were enough. The preferential treatment requires thousands of taels of silver, and the layers of exploitation are even more difficult to measure. Moreover, with Mr. Xu Ge's background, all kinds of rogues dare not come to the store to mess up all this. It only costs a mere one hundred taels of silver for half a year. , as cheap as white radish in the field, all because Mr. Xu Ge was Brother Zhu’s tutor, and Mr. Xu Ge valued Brother Zhu and acquiesced in this matter, so we had this opportunity, otherwise , do you think Mrs. Xu will agree to put her name in our shop and accept our dividends? There are many people with thousands of taels of silver in their pockets, but they don’t have this opportunity, let alone come. It’s a name.”
“Ah! It turns out that a name can have such a big effect.”
Qin'er was enlightened and suddenly realized.
“That’s not all, it is also of great benefit to Brother Zhu.” Li Shu said again.
“It’s of great benefit to my uncle?!” Qin’er was at a loss again, not understanding how this could be of great benefit to my uncle.
“Husband and wife are one, Mrs. Xu’s receipt of the dividend is equivalent to Mr. Xu Ge’s receipt.” Li Shu said softly, “Mr. After many years in the official department, she had great influence on the official department and had a reputation for promoting talents. Mrs. Xu accepted the dividends, and Xu Ge was willing to do so. I will definitely take care of Brother Zhu. Now that Brother Zhu has made a contribution, it is time for him to be promoted. If Mr. Xu Ge can help Brother Zhu, it will be of great benefit to his promotion. "
For a mere one hundred taels of silver, the current court elder could pay special attention to Brother Zhu. It was really cheap.
You know, the price rumored to be high for Yan Song and his son to sell their official positions was not that high. If an official wants to be promoted to a seventh-grade county magistrate, the price is 800 taels of silver. If the seventh-grade official is promoted to the sixth grade, it will cost 2,000 taels of silver. If the sixth-grade official is promoted to the fifth grade, it will be even higher, and it will cost 5,000 taels. Two taels of silver; further promotion requires more silver, with the highest price tag being 20,000 taels of silver. You have to have a very reliable connection to introduce you to this opportunity; if you don't have a connection, if you want to send money, they won't accept it.
Brother Zhu is now in the fifth rank. If he is involved in the relationship between Yan Song and his son, he must prepare 10,000 taels of silver
Of course, it is useless to prepare more silver, because Yan Jisheng impeachment memorial, Yan Song The Party hates Brother Zhu to death. It would be great if they don't let Brother Zhu fall into trouble. How can they help Brother Zhu get promoted?
"I didn't expect that these one hundred taels of silver would have such a big effect." Qin'er opened her mouth wide.
"So there are too few. This is like General Han Xin, the more the better. The more dividends Mrs. Xu receives, the better. It is also because Brother Zhu and I have been in the capital for too short a time. The relationship is not deep enough.”
Li Shu said with regret.
"Miss, the relationship will definitely get deeper and deeper in the future. I think that when we went to the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu treated the lady more and more enthusiastically. Last time, she held the lady's hand and joked about recognizing the lady. As a goddaughter."
Qin'er said.
"Gee, you said it too, you were joking. In addition, we have a deep relationship with the Xu family, so we can't be too involved. Unexpected events can happen in the sky, who knows what will happen to Mr. Xu Ge in the future, but we can't be involved. "Brother Zhu." Li Shu smiled slightly, then waved, "Go quickly, I have to pack things when I get back." (End of Chapter)
