Chapter 511 Leisurely singing in the world, the stars in the sky
Disaster relief efforts will usher in waves of backlash, which is what Ning Yi, Qin Siyuan and others have realized early on. This backlash may come from far away, or from near, or from friends around them, or from relatives around them.
Yes, just because things in the world and the relationships between people are so complicated. As long as you want to do something, you often can't escape it.
The rebound in the north and south began as early as when grain merchants from various places entered the disaster area. The situation around them gradually spread after the tenth of October. Qin Siyuan, Yao Zunian and other famous people had to deal with the most troubles.
The same must be true for Princess Zhou Xuan of the Cheng Kingdom and her consort Kang Xian, but most of the royal relatives could use less reasoning. Ning Yi's operation in the Prime Minister's Mansion was discovered at the end, and when others knew that he was in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion
After the staff in this area, it is inevitable that people will come to visit one after another.
Rich gentry families and official relatives from all over the north and south came to introduce their backgrounds and make implicit threats. At the same time, they also tried to leave all kinds of priceless gifts. Some people sent jewelry and jades, and some people gave them calligraphy names.
Chapter, if there is someone with a bad temper in this room, he might even get scolded. After a great scholar from Hebei scolded him, he left his address and asked Ning Yi to go there and listen to the teachings in person some other day. He said that he
The poems were well written, just like giving alms. Su Tan'er had no choice but to accept.
The one who copes with these things at home is Su Tan'er.
These days, Ning Yi only comes back every night and spends most of his time in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day. Although Dingfang and the others can also receive some people on their behalf, after all, they cannot really take charge of their own affairs. Some people with higher status are not good for them.
Talk casually. Tan'er has never been exposed to this level before, but after all, she is more experienced than Dingfang and the others. As the mistress of the house, it is enough to receive people. As long as you have a good attitude, it is not easy for others to get entangled with a woman.
too much.
While dealing with these unwelcome guests, Tan'er also took care of the business of Su's Cloth Shop. Su's Cloth Shop and Zhuji were combined into "Suning". When they first arrived in Bianliang, due to Zuo Hou's words,
, Su's cheap fabrics were unable to do business. Later, Ning Yi began to use salesmen to develop a high-quality product strategy, which made Su's clothes now a luxury item. However, Tan'er was the one who promoted the technology of improving looms.
Another advantage is that during this disaster relief period, some grain merchants made a lot of money in the disaster area. Not only did they repay the following grain business, they also specially purchased winter clothing fabrics and transported them to the disaster area.
As a result, Su received a large number of orders. Not only were the prices high, but the profits were huge. The other party didn't even make any unrestrictive requirements. If you can deliver the goods, I'll give you money. If you can't, we'll all be on our own. It doesn't matter.
Even if it wasn't because there were not enough manpower or cotton material, everyone would come over to say hello a few times. As a result, the several cheap fabric workshops originally set up by the Su family were operating at full capacity, and a large number of female workers were recruited. Tan'er remotely controlled
Su Ding was extremely tired as he took care of all kinds of trivial matters at the cloth line.
However, the atmosphere in the Ning Mansion and the Su family in Jiangning was different at this time. With Ning Yi setting an example, the cousins all understood that only by enduring this hardship could they achieve great results in the future. Therefore, no one was lazy and complained.
They are all working hard.
The foreign gentry and dignitaries came to visit, but Ning Yi was not there. They didn't have much to do. It was another matter to extend the tentacles of the relationship to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Although various pressures around Qin Siyuan during this period were bound to
Even bigger, but with his majesty and control, there are not many people who can cross the wall of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and directly exert pressure inside. Of course, in addition to these people, there are a small number of people who have special relationships.
Not that easy to get rid of.
These people include some distant relatives and some business partners. For example, after Tan'er shifted the Su family's business to the north, there was an uncle named Hu Chengyan who had some relationship with the Su family.
While providing cotton materials, the two parties had always cooperated happily. Even though Tan'er was blocked by Zuo Hou, the other party did not give up and often asked if they wanted help. But after this disaster relief incident, he and his family began to visit their homes.
Come over and persuade them sideways: Ning Yi doesn't have much power after all. He did something this time to offend the public. Since the right minister is in a high position, he is naturally not afraid of this. If someone wants to attack your family, you can't stop him.
Although he was sincere and asked his wife to help persuade Tan'er, in fact, his background was that he belonged to a wealthy family with great influence in the capital and Huainan. When Tan'er kept using Tai Chi skills to deal with it, he vaguely revealed: You
I recently purchased a large amount of cotton material, but my inventory is running low. If this continues, we may run out of stock...
In addition to Hu Chengyan, there are also some suppliers and distributors who are coming to the door one after another. There are Su's and Zhuji's. There are even people who rent houses and land to come to the door and say that they want to take the place back: "Breach of contract is also a big deal."
Don't be afraid, we'll lose money." Most of these people are related to local wealthy families. After the other party found out about Ning Yi's network, they asked them to come and put pressure on them. Some even communicated with each other, and many of them had Hu Chengyan as the core.
, taking turns visiting people to persuade them.
It is impossible for anyone to be burdened by the little pressure, good words or bad words. Tan'er dealt with it all calmly on the surface. Since the matter also involved Zhu Ji, she waited for Ning Yi
Ning Yi let her delay for a few days before making the final decision. It was only today that Tan'er called everyone to come to the house. When Ning Yi came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tan'er was talking to this uncle and aunt in the backyard. Su Ding and others
People were waiting for guests in the front hall, which was already quite lively.
"...Tan'er, it's not that your aunt is telling you. Your aunt is short-sighted and doesn't listen to some of her words. Just listen to her. Countryside people all know that if an arrow shoots the first bird, there are some things. You were proud at the time. What will you do in the future?
Well... your husband-in-law, he came in as a bride-in-law from the beginning. You are the head of the family. You must grasp the rules and not just leave everything to him. If he does such a thing, you should give him more advice.
right……"
In the backyard room, Mrs. Hu was persuading Tan'er, but Tan'er always kept a smile on his face and responded politely.
"Aunt, I am also a woman. He is my husband-in-law. I respect him and love him... I was very strong at first, but that was because I was young and ignorant. No one in the family could support me, so I was forced. As a woman, who doesn't want to
I'm at home caring for my husband. Auntie, those things are men's business. Let them take care of it."
"Hey, how can you say that? Tan'er, you are a woman and you have to be persuaded. You have to listen to your aunt..."
"Tan'er knows."
Tan'er's Tai Chi was so slippery that she couldn't hold back her hands. Hu Chengyan just listened outside the door and did not participate. He knew that his niece was very powerful, and she was actually determined. But what about being determined? This is a matter of time and effort. You
If you can stand one person talking, maybe you can stand ten or a hundred. But your heart will definitely be annoyed. As long as you are annoyed, it will be easy to have friction, quarrel, and anger at home. Then you will know that pressure is everywhere. This time
After all, they were not the ones who did it. Many people had already joined forces.
Above his Hu family is the Liu family in the capital. The Liu family has been a wealthy family for generations. This time they asked him to do something and also made a promise to betroth a lady from the master's family to his son. He wanted to marry this in-law. In fact, he
I don’t want to force Tan’er and his wife to be too harsh, they just want each other to raise their hands in a few small places in Huainan. The Liu family are kind-hearted people, and they don’t want to starve people to death, it’s just convenient for collecting the fields. This room
His family also had some shares. The famine that year was actually like this. Now I want to take some land. You can't block my road. We are our own people. If you want to provide disaster relief, we won't stop you, and we won't stop you.
He is not a bad person, but he is also measured...
Ning Yi came in from the back door. Then he saw Ning Xi and Xiao Chan playing here. Xiao Chan held the child and waved, saying to Ning Xi: "Daddy." Ning Xi also pointed over there: "Mom, daddy.
"
Ning Yi came over, hugged Xiaochan and the baby, and asked about the situation ahead. Just before he went in, he saw Hu Chengyan waiting there. The other party had already laughed: "Haha, nephew Li Heng."
"Uncle Hu Shi." Ning Yi cupped his hands and smiled, then went to the door of the room to say hello, "Auntie is here... Tan'er, I'm back."
Tan'er stood up and nodded, and the couple exchanged glances. Mrs. Hu was about to say something to Ning Yi, and Ning Yi smiled and said: "Aunt, you're neglecting me. I have something to say to Uncle Hu Shi, so let Tan'er accompany me."
You, let Tan'er accompany you...Uncle Hu Shi, lend me a step to speak."
Ning Yi stretched out his hand and walked forward along the corridor with Hu Chengyan. Hu Chengyan said: "Li Heng..." Ning Yi looked back, with a smile on his face, but spoke quickly: "Uncle Hu Shi, I have been thinking about something recently.
I'm looking for you, but unfortunately I'm too busy with business and can't get away. You just arrived today, so I can discuss it with Uncle Hu Shi. Oh, let's go this way..."
"Well……"
Hu Chengyan wanted to speak, but Ning Yi did not wait for him to speak, and spoke at a slow pace: "It's like this. Recently, the demand at the cloth shop has been great, and Uncle Hu Shi can't keep up with the cotton. I guess Uncle Shi also can't keep up.
I know, Su's has opened up the market, and so has Zhuji. Recently, many people have contacted me and said they want to cooperate... Oh, here is the single, please take a look, Uncle Hu Shi."
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. It was a supply and sales list of various supplies. The names of each family were written on it. When the cotton material was swept away, it said "Haicheng Zhang Pei"
"The two names "Lucheng Tang Sihan".
"Look, these, these... Oh, don't get me wrong about the cotton material, Uncle Hu. We have always wanted the goods from Uncle Shi's family. It was just that the last time Uncle Shi came to our door and said that the cotton material was in short supply. He was very regretful and anxious.
Tan'er told me that we shouldn't trouble Uncle Shi any more, so we took some of the missing fabric from the Zhang family. But from now on, we will still need as much of the goods as Uncle Shi has in hand." Ning
Yi said, laughing for a moment, and then calmed down his expression, "But, next, it is about development."
The two of them walked forward together.
"Uncle Hu Shi may not know that our Zhu Ji also participated in the disaster relief work of the Prime Minister's Mansion and put in a little effort. We didn't achieve much, but we still got to know some people. There are 87 households in the area of 800 miles around Bianliang.
We are all connected with big landowners and merchants, as well as some other retail investors. You know, some people are generous and willing to help as long as they are friends. For example, this raw silk man who is married, he is willing to give us the wholesale price in the market.
70%, and... the best quality, nothing to mention."
"Due to the disaster relief, Suning's development has slowed down a bit." Ning Yi said, "But in the next two years, we have a new plan, and the general outline has been released. Uncle Shi, what do you think about these people?
With help and support, plus the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, how big will we grow next?”
Hu Chengyan frowned: "This..."
"In the next two years, Zhuji will open stores all over the country. In all big cities, I will expand to more than 50 stores. Su's cloth will only be expanded next year. Tan'er and I will expand five times. That is, five times the supply.
.”
"The new plan requires a new system. I discussed it with them for a long time and decided that at the beginning of the year, I would invite all my friends to get together. How much goods we want, we will first have a plan, and everyone will bid.
How much can each other offer, and what price can be charged. In business, since it is big, it will always be like this. Uncle Shi also understands."
Partying and bidding for supplies are a phenomenon that only businesses with a large business can have. But since it is a bidding, the price will definitely be kept to the lowest. Hu Chengyan understood what Ning Yi was talking about, and Ning Yi laughed.
.
"But after this plan was formulated, Tan'er and I both said that it's no big deal for others. Uncle Hu Shi has always taken such good care of our family, how could we treat it like this? So we always wanted to talk to Uncle Shi about the goods from Uncle Shi's family.
, we will always charge according to the current price, and we will charge as much as we can. If it is not enough, let the Zhang family and the Tang family help. Uncle Shi will just do it early next year." Ning Yi smiled, then waved his hand seriously,
"Hey, Uncle Shi, please don't say anything unreasonable. I know Uncle Shi's temperament and never take advantage of others. We are not looking down on you. Tan'er has been doing business for a long time. We are taking care of you. You are the elder and we are
You are truly one of your own, you have a little bit of money, you are your own person, you don’t have to be too arrogant to make a profit. In addition, there is one more thing, it is my nephew’s presumption..."
Ning Yi looked around and lowered his voice: "I recently heard that my brother and a girl from the Liu family are planning to get married. My nephew is in the prime minister's house. It's convenient. I checked and found out that this girl from the Liu family is a concubine. I am related to several people.
This man has some contacts, so he may not be a good match... The nephew should not talk about this at first, but it is a matter of life for the elder brother, so the younger nephew has no choice but to be a bad guy who gossips. Of course, the uncle has to go and verify it himself.
The copy is a copy left by the Secret Investigation Department after the investigation. It is some trivial matters. It doesn't matter. Uncle Shi will put it away first. I will confirm the investigation later. The friend in front has been waiting for so long, and he still wants to ask Uncle Shi to accompany him.
My nephew will go out together to deal with it, and with uncle Shi here, we can calm down the situation."
He stuffed another envelope containing information into the other person's sleeve, then patted the back of the other person's hand, then held his hand with both hands and walked forward.
In the front hall of the Ning family, more than ten people had been waiting for a long time, chatting with each other impatiently. Then, Ning Yi and Hu Chengyan came out hand in hand. Seeing that it was Ning Yi who appeared today, in the hall
In silence, everyone stood up. Although they came here to "force the palace", Ning Yi was working in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time and his status was not low, so everyone did not dare to ignore it. Everyone was thinking about what to say.
Anyway, Ning Yi smiled and asked Hu Chengyan to sit down.
"Everyone, please sit down, please sit down. We are all old friends. You don't have to be polite. Are you ready? The tea is served. Go inside and get my best bottle of Mingqian. You are so old and you don't understand anything...everyone.
Sit, uh..." Ning Yi was about to sit down, his expression fixed, "Oh, there are two people who are not good friends, let me deal with it first."
He walked up to the two people in the room: "Boss Chen, Mr. Hu. The land and the house at the south and west gates of the city belong to you respectively. When we rented it, we signed the contract and it was witnessed by a guarantor. Now you want
Take it back in advance, has my family ever neglected you two?"
One of them raised his hand and said: "That's not true. It's just..."
"Have you ever offended two people by colliding with each other?"
"No, it's just that we have something to take back now, and we are willing to..."
"Okay, let's file a lawsuit."
"Well?"
"Kaifeng Government Office, let's fight a lawsuit. No matter how long it takes, Ning will accompany you. Now, please go out." He moved his fingers to the butler next to him and said, "Send the guests off."
After saying this, the housekeeper came over immediately, and one of them became angry: "Ning, we signed an agreement, and I have something to do now, and I am willing to compensate. How can you humiliate me like this! You need to make it clear today..."
As he said this, someone immediately came over and said, "Li Heng, don't be like this..." Ning Yi glanced at him with a smile, and a tall nurse came outside the hall to invite the two of them out.
"If they don't leave, throw them out."
These words were cold and the two could not afford to be embarrassed, so they had no choice but to curse and go out. In fact, when Ning Yi and others came to Bianliang, some things were handled by others, and the contracts they signed were not as strict as those of later generations.
Ning Yi doesn't care much about this little money, but since the other party wants to disgust him and make himself uncomfortable, he has to fight back indifferently. In the last life, he was not a good person in the shopping mall, and he went to the government, right?
At least the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be openly bullied. Even if you are ultimately sentenced to return the house and land, the other party will still pay the same amount, or even a little less, and you will have to make the other party feel uncomfortable for a while, and you will have more buffers.
time.
After driving these two people out, Ning Yi sat down with a smile: "Taking advantage of others and adding insult to injury. I don't welcome such people. You are all old friends. Ning always takes care of his friends when doing things. Come, come, I'm here
I have something, please give it to me."
He took out a stack of papers from his body, each one looked the same as Hu Chengyan's, and Su Ding handed it out one by one.
"This matter will have some changes regarding the new development of Su's Clothing Company and Zhuji, but I guarantee that the opportunity to make big money has arrived. When we do business, we need money. We want a win-win situation. I guarantee that everyone will be the best in this matter.
I saw it first, so that everyone can be prepared first... Let's take a look, and I will tell you in detail..."
Ning Yi's words rang in the hall. Although his tone was soft, the atmosphere was cold and hard. Soon after, everyone saw his attitude: If you want to make trouble, I will replace you all!
Everyone did not expect that he would sit down to this level. To be fair, if all the people were to be replaced, Ning Yi would also suffer losses. If everyone wanted to cause trouble to Ning Yi, of course they could just break up with each other. But not long after
, they also vaguely saw the prospects of Zhu Ji. If this disaster relief really made so many relationships with the other party, in the future, with the power of the Youxiang Mansion, Suning will also become a force that is not inferior to any gentry and wealthy family.
Group - because it was originally in the name of the Right Prime Minister's Office.
Everyone originally relied on a certain wealthy family for survival, so they came to the door this time. However, it is not necessarily true that they are valued by those big families. Ning Yi's description actually also hints: Instead of following them, it is better to follow them.
I, you and I already have a cooperative relationship. Next, we need to expand and develop, and we will become more familiar with it. As long as you are willing, you can share this pie for yourself.
Soon after, two people broke up and left on the spot, while the rest were still watching. Hu Chengyan almost said nothing the whole time. After Ning Yi left here and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Tan'er came out to entertain them. After a while, these people
Finally, they left one after another. It was almost dusk, the sky was almost dusk, night was falling, the stars were rising in the sky, the night wind was cold and cold, and I don’t know how many people were still doing their own things in the huge Bianliang City.
Things to do.
Late at night, Ning Yi rode a carriage all the way home from the Prime Minister's Mansion. The bright yellow lights and the sound of laughter enveloped Ning Mansion at this time. Some people were joking, some were playing, and some were holding Ning Xi in the courtyard with open teeth and claws.
Running around, children's laughter occasionally came. Ning Yi greeted everyone one by one. When he went back to the room, a warm yellow light was on in the bedroom. Tan'er was sitting on the stool, wearing a graceful skirt.
I was washing my feet in a wooden basin filled with hot water, with my hands on my knees. When I saw Ning Yi come in, I smiled at him.
Ning Yi walked over, squatted down, and put his hand into the hot water. Tan'er shrank slightly and reached out to press: "Don't." She probably felt that this was not something a man could do, but Ning Yi didn't.
Mind you, I washed her for a while to reduce her fatigue. In fact, when dealing with various trivial things every day, even if you can have a tough attitude, you will still feel annoyed and tired physically and mentally. Strong people are only mentally excited and will never compromise.
The feeling of tiredness is still there, even if Ning Yi is very familiar with business matters, he is no exception.
At this time, the couple actually understood each other, and as time passed, they became more and more understanding. There was no sound in the room, only the sound of water occasionally sounded, and the trivial warmth of the big family outside
The sound came from far away. Tan'er stretched out her hands to support her knees, raised her head and looked up. After a while, she softly hummed: "The stars in the sky... are shining..."
It was a ballad that Ning Yi remembered and later sang to Tan'er. Tan'er kept remembering it and liked it quite a lot. Listening to her singing softly, Ning Yi smiled and hummed along: "Then
It’s a pair of pairs of eyes..."
"Blink, blink... look~ look..."
"That's a childhood friend..."
"hehe……"
The man squatted in front of the woman, and the lamp illuminated the scene in the room with the singing. The simple and quiet voice seemed to evoke people's memories. Their childhood friends were long gone, and they no longer lived a simple life.
, in this huge whirlpool, it is even more complicated and dangerous than ordinary people. Soon after, Tan'er also washed Ning Yi's feet beside the bed. After a while, the lights in the room dimmed, and the lights in the entire mansion also dimmed.
Everything darkened, letting everything fall into a warm slumber.
This day has passed, and complex enemies have been defeated and pushed away by them, but more people have not stopped their attacks. On a new day, more enemies will surround them and use different means to attack them.
To interfere, pull, hinder or attack.
But there will always be some way to convey warmth to people. As long as you can cuddle up with someone, everything will always become distant at some point...
Then, the next day came...
