Chapter 221 Silver Round Opens the Way

"I don't agree, do you think I'm stupid? This thing is sold for 3,000 taels per person now. Just this one, I still owed someone money but didn't give it. Old money, can I pay 500 taels of silver first?" Mr. Xu said something. Chen Xie sneered. This guy looked at Chen Xie and shrank his neck in fear. He felt deeply resentful towards Chen Xie, but he was really afraid of this guy. He has many brothers, and the matter was broken. The old man would only look down on him and not say anything. There was no good fortune yet.

Mr. Xu left reluctantly. When he came to this place, he didn't even keep a drink. It was so fucking. But he had to go back and report. The specific matters still need to be further determined. Without the old man's nod, he really couldn't make decisions.

When he saw the young master away and returned to the hall, Qian Buduo saw Chen Xie sitting up and closing his eyes. Zheng Tuoniang stood behind him, pinching his shoulders, and his face was gentle. At this time, when Qian Buduo saw this scene, he felt more and more respect for Chen Xie. After years of becoming rich after Chen Xie, Lao Qian's status in front of these noble families in Nanjing has also risen with the flow. Today's matter seems very risky, but in fact, it is still necessary to think about it carefully. Who doesn't like this thing when you see it? The water in Nanjing is too deep, and the Wei Duke is just the first goal of negotiation. If you cannot show your strength and a little weak, you will be rushed up by countless evil wolves with red eyes, and there will be no bones left.

He didn't even dare to breathe when he didn't have much money. He stood aside carefully and waited for Chen Xie's following.

"Old Qian, you should be responsible for the matter in Nanjing in the future. Don't go back to Dengzhou. The affairs of the money shop are too important. I will give you half a share." Chen Xie finally opened his eyes. Qian Buduo was ecstatic, but his face was not showing any signs.

"Sihua, I'm still a little worried. Mr. Xu may not be so easy to talk to." Qian Buduo reminded him, and Chen Xie nodded and said, "This old fox is more timid than going to the battlefield to kill Jiannu. If you don't expect it, there are many people in his family waiting for the news that the young master brought back. If I show a little weakness, in the future, the five million silver dollars in the Nanjing branch will have annual profits, they will dare to swallow them all."

"Sihua's words are reasonable. These people have this virtue. How should we talk about it next?" Qian Buduo asked for further instructions. Chen Xie said lightly: "Prince guarding the eunuch, bring this letter, you go and go there. The nobles will take the initiative to contact you tomorrow. They will not be willing to give up such a big deal. I will fight the dealings in the officialdom." Chen Xie took out a letter and handed it to him.

"What price should I offer to the eunuch?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This letter was written by Cao Huachun. With this letter, he won't go too far. He will give him five thousand silver dollars every year."

Qian Buduo thoughtfully settled the score, and then said: "We have to manage all aspects. In this way, the annual spending on these relationships will be less than 50,000 silver dollars. The profits of the money shop will be reduced."

Chen Xie smiled and said, "Old money, you still have a shortcoming experience. The annual expenditure of 50,000 silver dollars seems to be a lot. As long as these silver dollars can be circulated like silver in Nanjing, it is worth spending 50,000 silver dollars. You should think so. In the future, the entire Ming Dynasty merchants will trust and be willing to use silver dollars, and be willing to deposit the silver dollars into the money house, and take away the silver dollars."

If others say this, they will definitely not be convinced if they don’t have much money. Chen Xie says this, he admits the account. He gets 50,000 silver dollars every year. The audience on the upstairs is secretly surprised. Brother Chen is so skilled in playing this trick. If it were the past, Liu Rushi's opinion would be "must be not a good person." Now, he has been fooled by a bunch of things, and his ideas are a bit vague, and his ideas are naturally like doing big things without paying attention to the details. Later historians highly praised Liu Rushi because of Chen Yinke. In fact, Liu Rushi was just a little girl at this time. After more than ten years, he was less than 30 years old. How could his knowledge be so high? Qian Muzhai refused to jump into the water and sacrificed his country. Didn’t she survive with her?

Later generations were greatly influenced by the drama "Peach Blossom Fan", but instead ignored history itself. Just like knowing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" but not "The Three Kingdoms". Reading "History of the Southern Ming", it is not difficult to find that there are not many "just" people who insist on moral integrity. Instead, the treacherous Ma Shiying adhered to the bottom line and moral integrity of a traditional literati. What is ridiculous is that the Donglin literati admitted that Ma Shiying died of Ming Dynasty as the national history, while compiling unofficial history and slandering and accusing them of surrender.

It's a bit far. In short, a little girl has grown up in the fireworks since she was a child, so it's not too easy to deceive her.

In the next few days, Chen Xie went out early and returned late every day, and gave a lot of silver dollars. All the officials in Nanjing paid a visit. Chen Xie's reputation as the God of Wealth was confirmed. The romantic story of the God of Wealth that Chen Baozhan Zheng Tuoniang who occupied the thorny rose on the Qinhuai River was spread throughout Nanjing. Even Liu Rushi was involved. Some sour literati couldn't help but guess. Chen's joke about two golden flowers with one shot.

The officialdom in Nanjing is not as good as that in Beijing. They are all politically frustrated and sent to retire. The so-called six ministries in Nanjing are filled with some officialdom settlements. Chen Xie has always had a good reputation. There are many people who expect him to make a fortune. If there is a silver ball to open the way, he will naturally be praised.

After a while, the matter in Nanjing city spread to Beijing. General Chen was not doing his job properly and went to Nanjing to keep famous prostitutes under the banner of "subsidy" to Chongzhen. As a result, Comrade Zhu Youjian just smiled and said, "Good goods are lustful, and they are also sexual!" If Chen Xie had no problems at all, Chongzhen was really worried. Chongzhen, who was suspicious, now has confidence in Chen Xie's loyalty, so naturally he did not take this matter seriously. He made money with one hand and held a beauty with the other hand, and dared to fight his life when he went to the battlefield. Isn't this a model of military generals? Not to mention, Chen Xie was still a prison student who was granted by the emperor, and being romantic and happy is normal.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xie stayed in Nanjing for half a month, and his main target was to make friends with the officialdom, and Shilin had no contact.

In half a month, the big house next door was opened, and the ones that needed to be opened, and the number of people who needed to be covered came one after another. There were special personnel to be trained in a short period of time. The hardware that a newspaper should have was basically out. The software was in trouble, so professional layout designers should not think about it. Chen Xie imitated the relatively ancient layout of the YM Daily to draw a sketch, and prepared a layer that remained unchanged for fifty years.

Zheng Tuo Niang naturally thanked the guests behind closed doors and followed Chen Xie, a guy who only knew the fur. What is headlines, what is newspapers, what is pages, etc. The worst thing is that Chen Xie made the sketch and remembered that the Ming Dynasty wrote vertically, and the reading also came from the right to the left. He had to re-modify it. Anyway, it was a very simple issue. This was a new thing in the Ming Dynasty. He was just a casual act of pretending to be an expert, and no one could expose the essence of his layman.

In short, Chen Xie has not been immersed in the gentleness village as the outside world imagined in the past half month. He has to go to the countryside to make a fortune during the day and establish a good official relationship. He has to prepare to run a newspaper when he comes back at night. Only he knows what this thing looks like, and the specific operation process has to be formulated and improved step by step. Chen Xie's style of doing things is like this. No matter what he does, he should first straighten out the procedures, then formulate a process, and do it accordingly in the future.

Because of his busyness, Chen Xie didn't have much time to be gentle with Zheng Tuon. This woman also likes to do things. She has been studying very seriously and has devoted more enthusiasm than Chen Xie. It's so fun to run a newspaper, and it's much more interesting than the ones she sends you every day. Thinking that her words can be printed out for people in Nanjing in the future, her enthusiasm in her heart can't be sluggish.

There is also Liu Rushi, who is also like a follower recently. During the day, she is with Zheng Tuo Niang, learns and communicates with each other, and at night, she follows Chen Xie, and sees him busy and gets a fight. If it weren't for the encounter with Chen Xie, she should be in Songjiang Mansion now.

It was another late night in the house that Chen Xie bought. In front of the candlelight, Chen Xie finally dropped the carbon pen in his hand and rubbed his wrist and said, "It's almost like that. In the future, we will follow this process. Everyone will do their own jobs, and the specific things are basically like this. Next, we look at the editor's configuration, which is a bit of a headache."

Liu Rushi brought the fragrant tea, put down the cup and whispered: "Brother-in-law, sister, this is a gathering of literati in Nanjing. Isn't it easy to find some people to write some manuscripts?" Zheng Tuo Niang nodded and said yes. Chen Xie shook his head and said: "No, my newspaper is very different from the official newspaper. I don't plan to write articles with formal questions. How can I say that, even some plain language, ordinary people can understand it. How do you say, those literati and famous people are willing to get into the hub?"

Zheng Tuo Niang walked behind and gently pinched her shoulders and said, "Isn't there a third edition that is specifically used as a page for poetry and articles?"

Chen Xie sighed, "I definitely can't count the first issue, and I can only wait for the next issue. In this way, you two are responsible for writing some poems. I will add two more poems, enlarge the words a little, and make half a page out. The remaining half page is used as a call for manuscript. The content of the first page is directly copied from the newspaper. Well, I will make it into vernacular. In the fourth page, I plan to make a series of long story books, and I will write it myself."

"Oh, can my brother-in-law still write a script? It's like being surprised by the slap in the table?" Liu Rushi exclaimed, and he seemed to like reading a script. Chen Xie was prepared for this matter. He stood up and walked to the bookshelf, picked up a thick envelope and looked at the words on it, picked up a book, and handed it to Liu Rushi, saying, "Look at this, the game work from previous years."

Chen Xie took great pains to capture readers of the Ming Dynasty. There are countless modern online novels, and there are no ones that can be obtained from the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued...)
