Chapter fifty-seven: a good start and a good end
The whole thing was a little weird, which made people feel a little breathless. At the same time, a decree of reprimand was also sent to the Beizhen Prefecture Office, denounced the Jinyiwei's boldness and arrogance. Ji Gang accepted the decree and really felt wronged. He could not find Hao Fenglou to scold him. Commander Ji looked at Hao Fenglou with a well-behaved look on his face and slapped the table hard: "You are so brave. The palace where the imperial court ordered officials was burned at any time?"
"Sir..." Hao Fenglou wanted to defend himself.
Ji Gang sneered: "Don't argue, it's useless to say more. Do you know how big a mess you have caused and how much trouble you have caused? If you have such a thing in the future, you will have to send you to the Nanzhen Prefecture Office to implement the family law, and this official will not tolerate you."
Hao Fenglou had no choice but to say obediently: "What sir is the lesson."
Ji Gang had a gloomy face: "If you don't have an example, you must work peacefully in the future to see the results."
Although he was so slandered, he still left a stick in the end. Ji Gang was not a fool. He clearly told Ji Gang that this was actually just a gesture, for others to see, and there was no need to go into it.
Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "What the lord teaches is."
Hao Fenglou deliberately pretended to wipe a handful of "cold sweat" that did not exist on his forehead.
Ji Gang's face improved a little, and suddenly said, "I wonder when Lingzun will arrive in Beijing?"
Hao Fenglou was indecisive: "The order has been gone, but the whole family has moved, and the local area has welcomed and sent off. Although Songjiang is not far away, I think it will not be possible in just a few months."
Ji Ganghe nodded and said, "If Lingzun Lingtang arrives in the capital, what is inconvenience? The Beizhen Prefecture Department will provide some advice. You go and don't mess around in the future."
Hao Fenglou hurriedly thanked him and said goodbye in shame.
After coming out of Beizhenfu, Hao Fenglou felt relieved. He was right. Zhu Di had some loyalty in his bones. If such a person was holding something in his hands, he might not be able to impress him. However, once you give his life to him and hand over the last amulet to him, it will arouse his desire to protect him.
………………………………………
Everyone in the Hundred Houses Office was waiting for the Hundred Houses to come back. When they heard the commander summoned him, many people were unhappy. What they did a few days ago was indeed a little too much. I heard that even the Censorate was alarmed. Many people thought that this time, the Hundred Houses must be cleaned up, and they might even investigate it directly.
When everyone followed the hundreds of households to make trouble, they were influenced by an inexplicable emotion, but now they can't help but be afraid.
Especially Wu Tao, he was already timid and was driven to the shelves by Hao Fenglou at that time. Now he has to be frown and feel like he has been on the pirate ship.
At this time, Hao Fenglou came back from racing.
As soon as Hao Fenglou appeared, the superiors and subordinates in the hundred households immediately surrounded him. Someone led the horse to Hao Fenglou, and somebody came forward to salute him. Zhou Fang bowed and said, "Sir, are you okay?"
Hao Fenglou shook his head slightly.
Zeng Jian gave a thumbs up: "The relationship between adults is indeed hard enough."
"Majesty."
"Sir, what do you say to the commander?"
Hao Fenglou's face was pulled down and he said sternly: "The commander said, Banana, you bara, why don't you call me such a good thing as setting fire?"
Everyone was embarrassed. They felt that the population of hundreds of households was unrestrained and seemed to be recreating Shangguan.
Hao Fenglou suddenly came down seriously: "Shuli Zhou, Zeng Zongqi and Wu Zongqi, we come in and talk to you. If you have any questions, I will explain to you."
He stepped out and led the three people to the duty room. Hao Fenglou sat down. Looking at the three guys, Hao Fenglou said, "Since brothers have taken root in this Donghuamen, we have to let everyone have food. I have already thought about it. Starting tomorrow, I will pay monthly safe money to the merchants under my jurisdiction, but the rules are different from other places."
All three of them were cheered up, which was related to everyone's job problems. Even a guy like Zeng Jian, who was stubborn, knew that it was of great importance.
Hao Fenglou said lightly: "My rule is that merchants do not distinguish between good and bad, and each company pays 100 taels of silver every month. As long as they do business under the jurisdiction of hundreds of households, the money will not be lost."
Shuli Zhou was shocked and couldn't help but say, "This... sir, it seems inappropriate."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "What's wrong? Tell me, I'm very open-minded and brainstorming."
Zhou Fang said: "First, some merchants have strong backends, and if they go to collect, they will inevitably be troublesome. Second, merchants are big and small. Some of them can earn thousands of taels of silver every year, while others are small-scale transactions, ten taels of silver a month, I'm afraid..."
Hao Fenglou didn't care: "What if only Jinyiwei collected the safe silver here?"
When Zhou Fang was stunned, he would inevitably encounter all kinds of blackmail from all walks of life. In a shop, not only Yingtian Mansion, but also the military officials of the Five Cities, but also some schools. ** Baidao, people have a share, three or five liang here, seven or eight liang there, and after a month, they can't afford to pay without dozens of liang. Therefore, if anyone dares to do business, they either have a strong family background and do a lot of business, or they have a strong relationship and are not afraid of someone seeking trouble.
But Hao Fenglou's words are unreasonable. Only Jinyiwei collects money for peace. Are the Bingma Si and Yingtian Mansion willing? Are those who can be willing?
Hao Fenglou said coldly: "From now on, the Jinyiwei will start collecting Ping An money. No matter who it is, as long as it is doing business here, we have to pay the bank. After we collect the money, we put the Ping An sign and the merchants with the Ping An sign of Baihuoyuan. If someone comes to ask for trouble, let Baihuoyuan come to cook."
Eat alone...
Zhou Fang's face turned green.
This is under the feet of the emperor. I don’t know how many relationships and interests are involved. If you want to eat alone, how can it be so easy?
However, Hao Fenglou's idea is good. If the Jinyiwei collects the money and truly protects the merchants, the merchants are willing to pay enthusiastically. But...
Seeing Zhou Fang hesitating, Hao Fenglou looked at Zeng Jian: "What do you think of Mr. Zeng?" Although this guy was ill, Hao Fenglou always felt that this guy was the best person in the hundred-household office. After all, he was a man who crawled out of a sea of blood. Especially after Hao Fenglou saw him playing a big sword, he felt that this guy was very valuable in the future. Although Zeng Jian's sword skills were not as light as Ling Xue, he took a route of opening and closing. In addition, he had rich experience in fighting, and in terms of skills, he might not be as good as Ling Xue. However, Hao Fenglou believed that Ling Xue was afraid of being afraid of him.
Zeng Jian said: "Sir, we are like bandits who occupy the mountain and become king. I have opened this mountain and planted this tree. Who dares to come and grab the money for us to buy the road and then get it back?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Your metaphor is too vulgar. What I mean is that we should be far-sighted and profitable for merchants, and eliminate the phenomenon of random levying and charging fees, so as to achieve standardization and legalization."
Zeng Jian said: "There is no objection to the humble one."
Hao Fenglou said: "It seems that no one has any objection?"
Wu Tao couldn't help but burst into tears. Sir, why did I become air before I could speak?
Hao Fenglou explained: "So from now on, Zhou Shuli, you will make a charter according to the wishes of this official."
Zhou Fang smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Yes."
Hao Fenglou stood up, stretched his waist, and said to Zeng Jian with a smile: "Zeng President Qi, let's go out for a walk."
