Chapter 215 The beautiful woman is intentional, the husband is ruthless
"Miss Chen, are you following?"
"Follow me."
Jia Liu nodded with satisfaction.
Mr. Li is not only the governor of Sichuan, but also the president of the Gongjin Association. He has a heavy burden on his shoulders, which is really tiring for a fifty-year-old man.
As an ordinary member, Jia Liu must take care of the president in all aspects, think about what the president thinks, and think about the unexpected. Otherwise, how can he allow the president to devote himself to the great cause of common progress without any worries.
Sharing worries at work and relieving worries in life are equally important.
Miss Chen is knowledgeable and courteous, and can emerge from the mire without getting stained. If she can learn a thing or two about the president's skills, she will be a good story in the future.
"Sit, sit."
Standing in front of Mr. Jia Jia were Liu Chenghou, the owner of Qinyuanju, and Madam Gu Siniang.
According to the background investigation conducted by the president, Liu Chenghou was originally a silk and satin businessman in Meizhou, and then he came to Chengdu to start a leather and flesh business for some unknown reason.
It goes without saying that Mr. Liu, the chairman of the board, has the ability to turn a humble shop into Chengdu's premier conference hall.
Of course, Gu Siniang, a professional manager in her thirties, also played a huge role in this.
"I called you two here because I have something to inform you."
"My lord, please give me your instructions!"
Boss Liu and Mother Gu, who had just sat down, stood up quickly after hearing this.
"It's like this. Qinyuanju will be the designated supplier of logistics and military supplies for our flag officer training camp from now on." As Jia Liu spoke, he took out an official document from his briefcase and handed it to Boss Liu.
The official document was written before he came, and it was very formal because it was engraved with the official seal of his leader, Jia Jiashikai.
Boss Liu can probably understand the word logistics, which means food, grass and military supplies, but the suppliers don't quite understand.
Moreover, what does this food and military supplies have to do with his flesh and blood business?
Can girls also become military supplies?
Jia Liu didn't need him to understand, so he said: "In short, you will be the Eight Banners outsourcing unit from now on. If anyone troubles you, just let me know."
Boss Liu, who seemed to understand but didn't understand, carefully put away the official document given by Master Jia Jia, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Sir, are Mr. Shu and the others downstairs?"
Jia Liu waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, I will handle it." After a pause, "By the way, Boss Liu, are you from Meizhou?"
Boss Liu nodded hurriedly: "The younger one is from Meizhou."
"Then have you heard about the shipwreck of the thief Zhang Xianzhong at the mouth of the Ming Dynasty?"
As a time traveler, Jia Liu was deeply impressed by the incident of Lao Zhang's treasure ship in Sichuan.
It is said that after Zhang Xianzhong learned that the Manchu Tatars entered the Pass and Li Zicheng died in the battle, he decided to lead all the Daxi soldiers out of Sichuan to fight against the Manchu Tatars and restore China.
After the four adopted sons led the main force out of Sichuan by land, Zhang Xianzhong loaded some gold and silver wealth obtained from Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the Chu Palace in Hubei on ships and left Sichuan by water.
Since there was too much gold and silver to fit in the wooden boats, the craftsmen with the army made many wooden troughs, put the silver ingots in them and floated them down, intending to salvage them from the narrow section of the river.
However, the Western Army's waterway troops were frantically blocked by the Ming Army. River boats blocked the river channel and most of the silver coins sank into the river.
According to records, hundreds of millions of silver were sunk, and hundreds of ships were loaded with them. Among them were gold lions, gold seals, gold albums and other cultural relics of the Western Army, which were priceless.
There are even rumors that Zhang Xianzhong's golden seal of King Daxi has also sunk in the river. If this thing is found, it will be really big.
Since Jinchuan's war business was basically monopolized, Jia Liu was jealous and exposed even if he sold cannons. He could not survive for long just relying on the money allocated by the imperial court for flag members, so he decided to open up the business.
Jia Liu didn't think about what source to open, so he naturally took a liking to Shen Yin, Zhang Xianzhong, who was under his nose.
Even if you can't get it all, you can get half of it, it's a good deal with no capital and huge profit.
I never thought that everyone in Sichuan knew about this.
Boss Liu said that in recent years, people have often dived for gold at the river mouth, and they have really gained money. Local fishermen often net silver ingots in that water area.
The government did not ask about this, because the Qing Dynasty law did not say that treasures should be returned to the court.
Jia Liu knew it well. Since the facts existed, anyone could do it, and naturally he, the flag-bearer and minister, could do it too.
Let's go back and discuss with Chairman Li whether to block the river mouth and conduct large-scale salvage in the name of drill or other means.
After paying for today's reservation, Jia Liu took out a pile of banknotes and divided them into two piles.
The pile on the left is the "business trip" expenses for the fifty selected girls, 50 taels each, for a total of 2,500 taels.
It's one month's salary.
Work 15 days a month, rotate regularly, and pick up and drop off by private car.
You don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You will be given work clothes after taking up the job, and officials will not take a commission from the reward. If you perform well at work, you can also arrange special maid services.
In short, you can’t go wrong if you do it for Mr. Jia.
I learned about prices in Jia Liu, the capital, and found that a girl worked an average of 23 days a month and earned about 30 taels.
This 30 taels is still paid by the building, so the girl’s actual working income is at most 20 taels a month.
The annual salary allowance given by the Qing government to the Eight Banners of the Han Army was 23 taels per year. In other words, a girl working for a month could equal the income of a flag member.
After a year, basically buying a few rooms in Beijing will not be a problem.
The laws of the Qing Dynasty prohibited officials from sleeping in prostitutes, but protected brothel-related industries. This industry generally developed in a virtuous cycle, with a high flow of people in and out.
In the former Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to engage in prostitution, but the designated unit, the Jiaofang Division, was of a bad nature and really forced good girls into prostitution.
Prices here in Chengdu are even cheaper than those in the capital, so Jia Liu offered a high salary of 50 taels for working 15 days a month, which was extremely attractive to the girls.
The other pile of banknotes totaled 2,000 taels. In addition to the commission fee for Boss Liu, it was also the training fee for Mama Gu.
Jia Liu gave a brochure on the training standards. In the early stage, Mother Gu needs to be taught, and in the later stage, outstanding personnel among the girls will take over the guidance.
I am satisfied with everything. Jia Liu is satisfied, the boss is satisfied, the manager is satisfied, and the employees are also satisfied.
A true win-win.
After signing the cooperation contract, Jia Liu casually asked Mrs. Gu: "Do you know if there are foreign horses in this industry?"
"Yanma?"
Mother Gu doesn't quite understand this word.
Master Jia Jia explained that he was a Westerner with red hair and blue eyes.
"You mean foreign devils?"
Mother Gu understood, because she had seen and entertained many foreign priests in Chengdu.
However, I have never seen a foreign ghost woman, but I have heard from the Cantonese guests I have received that there are foreign goods in Guangzhou, which were brought from the foreign country by the Thirteenth Group who do business with foreigners. Many customers are particularly fond of these foreign women for their novelty.
Spend money.
Jia Liuyi was very happy to hear that, as long as he had the connections, he thought about going back and telling Liu De to bring in some foreign girls from Guangzhou at a high price, so that the bannermen in Jinchuan could experience the exotic customs.
Don't underestimate the importance of communicating with foreign girls. It might lead to a great collision between Chinese and Western cultures, triggering the Westernization Movement in advance.
Big things in history are often driven by small things.
Finally, Jia Liu summoned Deb.
"I'll give you half an hour to make a quick decision."
"嗻!"
Deb, who was full of energy, went downstairs and gave the order: "Brothers, my Lord has an order, half an hour!"
"Shuan Zhu, do you want it?"
Jia Liu looked at Yang Zhi caringly, he was just a baby, but he was not young anymore and it was time to learn to be an adult.
"Not interested in."
Yang Zhi shook his head, "I want to cleanse myself and love myself. Only in this way can I leave my name in history."
"Um?"
Jia Liu didn't expect Shuan Zhu's ambition to be so great. He even wanted to leave his name in Qingshi.
As expected, he is the young master’s good sleeping dragon.
After sighing with emotion, she looked at Yang Yuchun. Before he could speak, Xiao Chunzi blushed and shook her head violently: "I won't touch women until the big things are done."
Huh?
This is Feng Chu!
Jia Liu didn't expect that one of his confidants would be more enlightened than the other, so he reluctantly waved to the girl he had fallen in love with earlier not to wait for him.
This caused a burst of sadness in the girl's eyes. It's true that the beauty is intentional and the husband is ruthless.
Looking at Hua Gou Xiong again, forget it, Gou Dan is a female, so we have to find a husband for her.
