Beijing·Jin Mansion·Xiafang.

During the Spring Festival, all the servants of the Jin family, in addition to the ten silver coins, Jin Yanxi also gave duck tickets to Fujude and Shiyiju, so that they could also experience the joy of Wensan, but Jin Yanxi did not

What comes to mind is that in this era, restaurants are closed during the Chinese New Year, so they can only use them after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the past year, due to Jin Yanxi's marriage, many people have joined the Jin Mansion, including Ginkgo, who married Jin Dehai.

She may not know about this ginkgo, but she actually has longevity in her heart, but she just doesn't dare to think about it due to her status, so she can't adapt to it after marrying Jin Deokhae. Fortunately, Jin Deokhae is a kind and caring person, and she saw Ginkgo on her wedding day.

She was sullen and unwilling to get on the kang, and she didn't force her. Anyway, she was the daughter-in-law whom she married back at a grand banquet in the palace, so how could she leave her?

Jin Dehai brought the water for washing feet and said: "After a tiring day, let's wash our feet. The water should be cold."

Ginkgo was flattered and said: "You wash it for me? You are my boss, how can this be done!"

Jin Dehai knelt down and said, "You used to take care of your family's blessings. Now I'll let you enjoy your family's blessings."

Jin Dehai couldn't help but take off her embroidered shoes, took off her cotton socks, and put a pair of jade feet in the water. Ginkgo felt her feet being gently rubbed in the water, which made her cheeks turn crimson.

Jin Dehai said sarcastically: "Did you know? Our Seventh Master also serves the Seventh Young Mistress like this at night. Every kind of master has his own servant. The Seventh Master is so considerate of her, I have to learn from him."

Ginkgo asked: "Are you loyal to the Jin family?"

Jin Dehai replied: "Yes, just like you did to Prince Shou's Mansion."

Ginkgo asked: "So have you lived in the Jin family since you were a child?"

Jin Dehai replied: "I am an orphan. The Jin family adopted me and asked me to learn driving and martial arts, which enabled me to learn a lot of skills. Besides, my surname is Jin myself, so the Jin family is my home."

People in this era are relatively simple. In fact, Jin Dehai obviously worked hard on his own and obtained Gong Baotian's guidance, but he attributed everything to the Jin family.

Ginkgo said in confusion: "Brother Dehai, do you really not blame me?"

Jin Dehai understood: "We are all servants who serve others. I know that you are not accustomed to leaving the palace suddenly. I will go back to the palace tomorrow on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I will go back to the palace with you."

As he spoke, Jin Dehai took out the footwashing water and poured it out, but when he came back, he saw Gingko taking off her shirt and sitting on the bed waiting for him to come back.

Ginkgo thanked you: "Brother Dehai, thank you for your understanding. I'm ready today."

Jin Dehai said happily: "Really."

Jin Dehai had been enduring the hard work of keeping his beautiful daughter-in-law by his side for several days without touching her. When he saw that the clouds had cleared and the moon was shining brightly, the boy couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward eagerly.<

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Main Hall.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, guests began to come to the Jin family in an endless stream to pay New Year greetings, including Chen Shouting in Jinggang.

Years ago, Chen Shouting took the workers from Qilu back to Zhoucun to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, before the workers could return to Tianjin to start work, Chen Shouting himself came to the capital to pay New Year's greetings to the Jin family.

According to the "General Rules for Railway Passenger Car Transport" promulgated by the Ministry of Railways, passenger train carriages are divided into first class, second class and third class in this era. The colors of train tickets for each class are printed in red, white and blue respectively. Different classes of carriages have different comfort levels.

, treatment and price are all different. Needless to say, first-class tickets are naturally the most comfortable, but the price is the highest. Third-class tickets are the most crowded, but the price is the cheapest.

It can be said that the Spring Festival transportation in this era was more difficult than in later generations, because there were not many train lines at this time and the transportation capacity was not developed enough, so it was even more difficult to go home during the New Year.

Under Jin Yanxi's various kind words, Jin Quan would of course receive Chen Shouting ceremoniously, but Chen Shouting immediately knelt down to Jin Quan after Jin Rong introduced him to the main hall.

Chen Shouting knelt down and said: "Hello, Prime Minister Jin."

Jin Quanxu helped him: "Please get up and take a seat. I heard Yan Xi call you Sixth Brother. Then I will recognize you as my eldest nephew. Yan Xi said that you are a capable man, so he paid three visits to the thatched cottage to invite you."

Chen Shouting stood up and sat down and said: "Prime Minister Jin, you are complimenting me. I don't know how to read and I am just a dyer. The seventh young master is the real powerful man. He not only knows how to read and understand but also speaks English. I heard

I also speak French."

Jin Yanxi said humbly: "Sixth brother, don't make fun of me. If I were really knowledgeable and didn't go abroad to study earlier, how could I still be a bad guy? This is abandoning literature and embracing martial arts, and walking down the slope."

Chen Shouting said enviously: "Seventh Young Master, you have a good father. We are about the same age. You have studied for so many years, and I have had to live for so many years. This is fate. If I had a father like you, even if I live

If you lived like this last day, your life would not have been in vain."

Jin Quan blamed himself: "Don't say that. They are just a group of children who have been spoiled by me. They have ups and downs in the world. I am content with them being able to keep themselves clean."

Chen Shouting retorted: "Prime Minister Jin's words are too self-effacing. Let's take the seventh young master as an example. The seventh young master is self-aware and knows people. He knows what kind of people can give sincerity and what kind of people can only be used. Just this

I am not as good as the Seventh Young Master at all. Prime Minister Jin, please think about it. Without the Seventh Young Master’s knowledge of people, what could I have done? I would still be a little dyer in Zhoucun.”

Jin Quan ordered: "Jin Rong, take out my calligraphy."

Jin Rong obeyed: "Yes, sir."

Jin Rong went to bed and soon came back with a painted calligraphy.

"When chaos arises, words are regarded as ranks. If the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if the affairs are not secretive, he will be harmed. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not go out."

Jin Quan opened the scroll and said: "This is a calligraphy handwritten by me. I know you don't know the calligraphy, but you must remember the words on it. You know Hai Zipei in Tianjin and Hong Kong. This person's ability can be said to be

He is a business genius, but he must be plotted by the bad guys. Do you know why? Because his closest confidant Chen San was bribed by outsiders."

Chen Shouting thought deeply and said: "Chen Liuzi has learned a lesson."

Capital·Jin Mansion·Seven Bedrooms.

Jin Yanxi asked: "I met my father, how do you feel about him?"

Chen Shouting commented: "Prime Minister Kim's vision, talent and knowledge are the only ones I have seen in my life. He taught me how to calligraphy, which will definitely be used in my lifetime."

Jin Yanxi said proudly: "That's right, that's right. How else could he be the prime minister?"

Chen Shouting reminded: "But Fujii, who sells my gray cloth, once said this to me. I think it is true and I am very grateful to him. It was because he drank too much and took my hand and said to me: The country is too weak.

If you are too strong, you will easily suffer losses. Most of your Jin family work in diplomatic agencies, and your attitude towards foreign powers is so tough, so you must be more careful on weekdays."

Jin Yanxi said angrily: "Sixth brother, you are not from Beiyang. You can't feel the hatred of Sino-Japanese War. My father was in the Tianjin-Hong Kong Customs Department at that time and watched the Dingyuan sink with his own eyes, especially from Tianjin and I."

The hometown of Beiyang Six Towns

, but there are more than 2,000 Japanese troops stationed in Haiguang Temple, which makes people uneasy. Although it sounds good, it is frightening and makes people uneasy. I really want to ask my father-in-law to bring the third division over and kill all these Japanese soldiers.

”

Chen Shouting comforted him: "I don't believe in the great China, it will always be like this. Okay, seventh brother, this is not something that you, a little patrolman, and I, a little dyer, can take care of. Don't be angry, we won't talk about it during the Chinese New Year.

These."

Jin Yanxi asked: "Yes, tell me something happy, Brother Six, how did you sell so much cloth?"

Chen Shouting replied: "It's not difficult. We Diaochan can't sell the poppies from Shenhu because they are cheap, only selling for 10 cents and 41 feet, and the cloth they dye is really bright. This is because the yarn count is not enough to support printing.

The copper plate is coming

After extrusion, Liuhe Dyeing Factory did not use oxalic acid but used cheaper sulfuric acid, so the cost was reduced. However, I thought our printing work was not bad, and the yarn of Fuso gray fabric was good, so I gave

When he comes, it rises instead of falling.

I sell it for 20 cents per foot, and people who can afford 181 cents won't care if I raise the price by another two cents. This is comparable to the poppy price, plus I went to Shenhu to recruit several senior people.

Technician, take the three best ones from Liuhe Dyeing Factory

I dug them in and used them to match the new pattern I asked the Germans to engrave. Finally, I gave a small amount of money to the shop assistants everywhere and asked them to promote Diao Chan as high-end and more durable than poppies, so I managed to survive."

This is the setting of a character. Since the cost cannot be reduced, it simply increases the price and adopts a high-positioning route. It makes people think that Diao Chan is a high-end product. It seems that the business war tactics of later generations are leftover from the ancestors.

Jin Yanxi said gratefully: "Before the opening of the port, it was an industry owned by the Manufacturing Bureau. I know it very well. I can imagine how difficult it is for Brother Six to maintain the situation. If it were anyone else, he would have been crushed."

Chen Shouting said with a smile: "You think too highly of me. This is to deliver warehouse-protection cloth and to attract orders from the military. With such a good employer, I think this factory director can do it alone. Besides, it would be impossible without you."

With such a strong capital support, I dare not use any of my spending strategies."

Jin Yanxi felt ashamed and said: "That's not the formula of Sixth Brother, which is a medium color mixed with a medium color. How dare I take credit? I opened the factory to save the country through industry. Besides, hundreds of workers have to eat. I can't follow Sixth Brother."

I was already feeling ashamed when I got off the workshop, so I could only help from the side.

Busy, I heard that Wang Zhiwu is now the leader of the workshop, and he was scolded for sneaking a piece of meat into your meal. This is not okay. Brother Six loves to listen to books. He should know why Ma Mengqi and Chen Shubao were short-lived. This young man

Don’t dare to leave hidden wounds.”

Chen Shouting agreed: "You are right, no matter how good my skills are, it is just a matter of hiring one more technician. I will pay attention in the future and try not to go to the workshop to work with the workers again."

Jin Yanxi took out the gift box and said: "Also, you are not allowed to smoke local cigarettes anymore. This is the Brazilian cigar my father smokes. From now on, it is mine. I will let Xiuzhu buy six kilograms of snacks in Daoxiang Village. If you are hungry at night, take it

Come and satisfy your hunger."

Chen Shouting said distressedly: "Oh, my seventh young master, four cigars cost one yuan, why would you spend that unjust money?"

Jin Yanxi said forcefully: "It's not unfair at all. The smoke from cigars does not go out of the lungs, so it is expensive for a reason. If you can't bear it, just smoke less. Who told you to recognize me as your brother? You will be under my control from now on."

."

Chen Shouting compromised and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to listen to me on this matter. This is a promissory note of 200,000 silver dollars."

Jin Yanxi asked: "Brother Six, what do you mean?"

Chen Shouting replied: "This 200,000 yuan is this year's dividend. The 200,000 yuan you took from Brother Miao was money you took from your father-in-law. How can you take so much money at home without dividing the family? It will inevitably affect

To brothers and sisters, you still

Hurry up and make up for this shortfall. Although I don’t know what you are using it for, Brother Miao himself also contributed 100,000. I trust Brother Miao and I trust you, so you treat this 100,000 as if I also contributed 100,000 to cover the shortfall.

Ten thousand."

Jin Yanxi refused: "No, as promised, I will only take one hundred thousand to add five to one. I have already made up the remaining one hundred thousand elsewhere. Sixth brother, listen to me and use this first payment."

Share the dividends and buy a western-style house in Tianjin, and bring Sixth Sister-in-law here too. It's not a big deal that you and your wife are separated. Besides, I have to ask Sixth Sister-in-law to supervise your smoking of cigars. Don't look back and you go smoke local cigarettes again."
