In this era, there is no such vigorous love as in another world, nor is there any confession of love between you and me. Even if Shen Yi could say it, Junior Sister Lu would probably not be able to hear it.
For this era, for two people to establish a relationship, a bowl of ginger tea is enough.
Because Shen Yi was hungover last night and was already late for work, he simply didn't rush to work at the Di News Department. After all, he was now the chief of the Di News Department. As the boss of the Di News Department, there was no one else.
Let him click on it.
There is nothing wrong with eating at home on an empty salary.
After drinking a bowl of ginger tea, I don't know whether it was for psychological reasons or because ginger tea was really effective. Shen Yi's headache was relieved a lot. He got up and looked around. There was no pen, ink, paper or inkstone in the guest room. Fortunately, this was a civil servant.
At his home, Shen Yi greeted the servants of the Zhao family, who quickly sent the Four Treasures of the Study to his room.
Shen Yi polished the ink by himself, and then wrote a letter to his father in his hometown, asking him to come to Jiankang as soon as possible to solve the major issues in his life.
According to Shen Yi's understanding of his father, his father would not refuse such a thing.
But if uncle Shen Hui knew that Shen Yi had been promoted to the Imperial Academy, he would probably not agree with him in such a hurry to settle the marriage, and he might even obstruct it.
But Shen Yi is not worried.
He knew that although his father Shen Zhang was very polite to his uncle Shen Hui, he would not shrink back when encountering issues of principle. Not to mention that the two people were already in love with each other, and Master Lu's kindness to Shen Yi in teaching him made Shen Yi
When he was in jail in Jiangdu County, Shen Yi might have died if it weren't for Mr. Lu.
The scholarly reputation of the Shen family has been handed down from generation to generation, so we must not be ungrateful.
Moreover, even if Shen Yi becomes a Hanlin now, Junior Sister Lu's family background is more than enough to match him. You must know that even Fan Dongcheng's family background is eager to become the Lu family's son-in-law in order to gain the Lu family's political influence.
After writing the letter to his father, Shen Yi dried the ink and had it sent to Jiangdu from Guanyi.
Now that Mr. Shen is an official, he can use the official posts openly, which is one of the benefits of scholar-bureaucrats in this era.
After staying at Zhao's house for a whole morning and having lunch at Zhao's house, Shen Yi went home, put on the official uniform custom-made for him by the imperial court, and went to work at the Di Reporting Department.
According to the rules of the imperial court, only fifth-grade Beijing officials need to go to court. Shen Yi is now just an eighth-grade petty official. He doesn't have to go to court, and he doesn't have to do anything, so he is quite at ease.
Shen Yi stayed at the Di Newspaper Department for half an afternoon and learned all about the procedures of the Di Newspaper Department. Then he left the Di Newspaper Department again and went out.
It's not about leaving early, it's about going out to run business.
After finding a private room in a teahouse and changing out of his official uniform, Shen Yi went to the Qinhuai River and found Xu Fu at the "Xu Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang" on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Because it was not yet evening, business on the Qinhuai River was average, and Xu Fu was settling accounts.
It is worth mentioning that he learned this skill by himself.
After seeing Shen Yi, Xu Fu dropped his account book and quickly bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "Young Master."
Shen Yi nodded and found a chair to sit down in this medium-sized shop. Then he looked at Xu Fu and said with a smile, "How is business during this time?"
Xu Fu lowered his head slightly and said, "Business has always been good, but..."
He shook his head and said: "Recently, there have been a lot of Chuanchuan incense in Jiankang City, and they even directly use Xu Ji Chuanchuan incense. Their shopkeeper also calls himself Xu. There is no other way, so some customers are divided. But here we have
After all, there are many regular customers, so the business has not been greatly affected.”
In this era, there is no copyright law, let alone copyright awareness. Perhaps some old shops in the pharmaceutical industry or cultural industry can sue others for plagiarizing and misappropriating their signs, but the catering industry...
Shen Yi was not angry, he just smiled and said: "You can't make a lot of money just by making a living in food, but Xiao Xu, you still have to keep statistics of the accounts for the recent period. You can compare them in a few days."
Although Xu Fu didn't understand the meaning of Shen Yi's words, he still nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Don't worry, Sir, the accounts will not be wrong. I will send the accounts to the Young Master's house in a few days."
"I do not watch."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "It's for your own comparison, I don't need to see it."
"By the way, I came to see you today because I have a big matter to discuss with you."
Hearing Shen Yi talk about "big things", Xu Fu immediately became serious, lowered his head slightly and said: "Young Master's orders."
Shen Yi thought for a while and asked, "How much money do we have in our account now?"
Xu Fu lowered his head and looked at the account and said, "Sir, if it's cash, I should be able to come up with about two thousand seven hundred taels. If it's more, I'll have to sell the shop..."
Over the years, Xu Fu and others have made a lot of money, but not as much as they imagined. In addition, with the popularity of Chuan Chuan, profits have also been suppressed. A shop like this one in Qinhuai River earns more money every month.
After excluding the cost, you can earn about one hundred taels.
In other words, most of the money in the account now was saved during the initial "profiteering" stage.
Shen Yi said "hmm", then looked at Xu Fu and said: "Xiao Xu, starting from today, these food shops will be run by Ding Man and the others. You can just come and take a look occasionally.
, don’t ask any questions.”
Although Xu Fu was stunned, he nodded quickly.
He believes in Shen Yi very much.
Because until now, everything Shen Yi said to him has basically come true.
After he nodded in agreement, he then said, "What does the young master want me to do?"
"There is a street on Dongshi Street that sells antiques and the Four Treasures of the Study, called Pen Holder Alley."
Shen Yi looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then he said: "In the recent period, you should go to Pen Holder Alley more often and try to find old shops that have been around for decades or hundreds of years but are about to close down.
Then spend the money to buy it."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "Remember, take down the signboard as well."
He looked at Xu Fu and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid of spending money. We can use all the money in our account. If we don't have enough money..."
"Just withdraw it from that exchange check..."
It has always been Shen Yi's obsession to build a "cultural shop" that sells the Four Treasures of the Study and antiques.
It’s not because of anything else, it’s because this business makes him too much money!
Whether it was the Mo Yan Zhai in Jiangdu or the Bibi Alley in Jiankang, a large amount of money was collected from Shen Yi. After all, Shen Yi hung out in the civil servant circle and wanted to give gifts, so the best gift was this kind of gift.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Xu Fu swallowed his saliva.
He knew that the exchange notes Shen Yi was talking about were the two exchange notes for 10,000 taels of silver given by the palace. Among them, 10,000 taels of silver were redeemed by Gu Hengbo, and the other 10,000 taels were placed with Xu Fu. On weekdays,
Provides consideration for shear wave expenses.
Xu Fu didn't dare to spend even a copper cent of this money.
Although he is not very old, he knows how powerful it is and is deeply afraid that he will get into trouble.
Now when he heard what Shen Yi said, he took a deep breath, then glanced at Shen Yi silently, lowered his head and said: "Sir, although this business makes money, if others can't do it well, how can we do it if we don't know anything about it?
good?"
"If you don't know anything, just ask the shopkeeper who knows it, and you can learn from the shopkeeper."
"As for whether it can be done well..."
Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and smiled: "Don't worry, we are very lucky. After taking over, the business of this shop will soon pick up."
After saying this, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and thought to himself.
This time, let me let you know how powerful "traffic" is!
