336 The governors mansion does not support idle people
Wang Changshi thought that they were all his own, so he took the list and asked Chang Suining: "In that case, what are your plans?"
"I have no intention of killing them all. These salt merchants have tried to drive up salt prices, but they have also been affected by Xu Zhengye's chaos, and now I still need to rely on them to stabilize the salt market." Chang Sui Ning takes peace as the most precious thing.
He said in a tone of voice: "I have asked them to come and have a detailed discussion today. Then I will thank them in person for their generosity."
"But..." Wang Changshi tried to remind: "Didn't your Excellency invite negotiators from all walks of life to come here today to discuss it?"
"Yes." Chang Suining nodded: "After I finish thanking you, everyone will sit down and discuss things together. With the addition of the salt merchant, isn't that enough?"
Wang Changshi clearly understands this, wonderful.
The governor wanted to publicly "recognize" the salt merchants who donated so generously in front of the people in charge.
"It's not good to say thank you empty-handed." Chang Suining thought for a moment, stood up, and said, "Everyone, sit here and have tea while I prepare some thank you gifts."
Li Tong also put down the tea cup and left with Chang Suining. When he stepped out of the hall, he curiously asked: "What kind of thank-you gift will Sister Chang prepare?"
"Nature is the one that best demonstrates my sincerity..." The two walked away as they talked.
Seeing Chang Suining's back disappearing, Mother Luo sighed: "Your Majesty, the Governor is really a busy man and never has a moment of leisure."
There was a hint of regret in this sigh.
Only Luo Guanlin knew what his mother was regretting—probably the flattery she had prepared before she could put it to use.
"Mr. Qian——" Wang Changshi called out. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he called out again: "Mr. Qian?"
Luo Ze coughed lightly and reminded: "Father, Mr. Chang Shi is talking to you."
Luo Guanlin then looked at Wang Changshi: "...I wonder if Changshi has any advice?"
Such a tone made Wang Changshi raise his eyebrows, he was indeed very arrogant.
Wang Changshi's smile remained unabated: "It's your first day here, sir. How about I take you around to get acquainted with the affairs of the mansion?"
Luo Guanlin remained lukewarm, raised his hand and said "Thank you", and followed Wang Changshi and left.
So two quarters of an hour later, Luo Guanlin sat in the outer study room.
Looking at the large pile of official business in front of him, Luo Guanlin felt mixed.
At first everything was normal, but after a while, Wang Changshi took him to the study...
And gave him such a bunch of tedious official tasks that are not urgent but time-consuming and labor-intensive!
This Wang Zhongyuan, who just talked about his life experience, knows that when he was in the capital before, he was just a junior seventh-grade sesame official. In the past, he was not even worthy of seeing his face... but now he dominates him.
coming!
It’s really unreasonable, he has eaten early and hasn’t eaten yet!
For a time, Mr. Luo's desire to improve his status became stronger.
So, I patiently picked up a piece of official business and looked through it.
Wang Changshi left with a comfortable smile on his face.
With such a big frame of mind, he must be quite capable.
The governor's office doesn't keep idle people, no matter what kind of airs it puts on, since it has been revealed, it must be used as soon as possible, and it cannot be wasted.
On that day, invited speakers from various businesses came to the governor's house, and no one was absent.
Over the past year, businesses in all walks of life have been affected and damaged. They urgently need government intervention to resume normal trade as soon as possible. Secondly, it will not do them any good to offend the new governor. Since they have been invited, they have to come.
Speaking of offending the new governor... we can't help but talk about the salt merchants. For some reason, the governor Chang did not invite the salt merchants this time. Everyone is guessing that the other party is probably trying to take advantage of the salt merchants, who are the biggest
A piece of fat meat is cut open.
Although these big salt merchants are usually the most arrogant, because they do business with the government and pay the highest taxes, they consider themselves to be higher than ordinary businessmen like them, and they are not very good people.
Thing, they would also like to see these people suffer misfortune...
However, the status of businessmen is not high to begin with. Under the current situation, if the governor Chang is really such a character who kills the goose and lays the eggs, it will inevitably make them feel miserable.
With this idea in mind, all the talkers couldn't help but feel uneasy on the way here, worried about the salt merchants and their own future.
Worries about the former continued until they were invited into the main hall and met the salt merchants who were chatting and laughing with the officials in the hall...
So...how come these salt merchants are here? Didn't you say you didn't invite them?
Looking at the salt merchants who were treated with great courtesy by the officials in the department, people were unable to understand the situation for a while.
After some greetings and salutes, they also sat down one after another. Since the governor Chang had not arrived yet, everyone "chatted" for the time being.
As they chatted, people gradually figured out the clues... Oh my god, it turns out that these salt merchants secretly donated money without saying a word!
Soon, with the announcement, all the officials stood up one after another, and a girl wearing a crimson official robe walked in surrounded by a group of subordinate officials.
All the merchants saluted quickly.
Those who talked about it could obviously notice that the governor should be more polite and kind to those salt merchants. There was no other way. After all, those who paid the money were big money. This is the basic quality of an official, not
Can't understand.
But... what about them?
Seeing the governor sending a thank you gift for the praise to the salt merchants, all the talkers felt on pins and needles. They didn't know where to put their empty hands, so they could only transfer their resentment to those salt merchants.
On the salt merchant.
I originally thought that the other party was isolated. One moment I was still worried about the other party's situation. However, the next moment I found that the other party had sneaked through the back door and boarded the new governor's ship first. Therefore, he stole the limelight in front of them and pushed them away.
Falling into an abyss of embarrassment and anxiety...!
Sure enough, these salt dealers have dirty hearts!
Being a human being is really nothing!
When making such a decision, why can't we communicate with them in advance?
Sensing the overabundance of complaints in the air, the salt merchants sneered in their hearts - why not let the heads of those salt dealers "pass by" in front of their door, and then try to drop two ounces of blood on the way... and see if they dare
Dare to spend it until the second day!
Thanks to the guilty conscience caused by the "unequal return of stolen goods", in today's conversation, people are increasingly less confident about what they say. Many of the conditions that were originally agreed upon in private did not dare to open their mouths even though they came to their lips several times.
When it got dark, the group of people were able to leave the governor's mansion one after another.
The leader, Jiang Hai, the largest salt merchant in Jiangdu, got on the carriage with his confidant and accountant, and then he was able to wipe the sweat on his forehead with a cotton towel.
This was not because of fear. In the second half, he also understood that the opponent only wanted eggs and would not kill the chicken for the time being, so he, the chicken, reluctantly put his heart back into his stomach.
The sweat was due to the muggy weather, and he was fat and couldn't stand the heat. Now he got on the carriage with an ice basin, drank the herbal tea in one gulp, and his breathing became easier.
When Jiang Hai put down the tea bowl, he looked at the long brocade box and urged: "Open it quickly and see what she gave..."
