Gu Jikun was discharged from the hospital. He had a scar on his stomach that looked bad, but his life was saved. The hospital charges were not cheap, so he asked him for a total of 100 yuan. This money was willing, especially when he saw those poor people who came here to treat big belly disease. After the treatment was free, Gu Jikun's admiration for Chen Xie increased a little.

"The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings!" Looking at the long queues every day, and looking at the so-called "green channel" on the other side, Gu Jikun sighed like this. He was walking on the green channel. The biggest advantage of walking on this channel is that it is fast and the charge is also very harmful. But then again, when it comes out of this channel and is watched by the people of the free channel, his satisfaction is also strongly tight.

The carriage is directly driven to the entrance of the passage, so that only rich people can enjoy the treatment. The rich people in Nanjing did not accept it at first, but now they come to the hospital for a little illness. This process actually didn't take much time. At this stage, most of the rich people who come here to treat are officials. Gu Jikun couldn't figure out whether they came here to see a doctor or were afraid of horses.

To be precise, at the beginning, some officials' families came to see a doctor, and they did have the intention of flattering. However, after a visit, Western medicine did take effect quickly. After treatment, these people went back and whispered, and the reputation came out and the hospital's business improved. Although it was a little expensive, rich people were afraid of death. How could there be anything more important than life?

The first thing that happened when discharged from the hospital was to thank Chen Ge's subordinate for saving his life. When he came to the Governor's Office, he handed the letter of worship, but found that he had gone to Huating. What happened to Chen Xie when he arrived in Huating? Two things were that the election and founding meeting of Huating County Consulting Bureau was recently held. Huating County Magistrate Yang Longyou is the kind of object that is not favored by others in the officialdom, or is envied by all kinds of envy and jealousy. On the one hand, he was criticized by someone who was a lackey of Chen and was not loyal to the power. The main thing that said these words were the opposition and officials in Fushe. This had some impact on his reputation. On the other hand, he was still the object of envying those who wanted to hold on but suffered from the lack of chance. There were the most of these two types of people, some more rational officials belonged to the absolute minority, and were in a wait-and-see state, so I'll take a look. The kind that said nothing.

For Yang Longyou and Ruan Dacheng, they had no way out. When they were labeled as eunuchs, they had enough of those days. Now they are the Crab Party. You should know that although the name of this Crab Party is not nice and is the result of sarcasm of some literati, everyone in the officialdom knows that they have to surrender to Chen Xie. The future is long. Moreover, Chen Gemen is not very fond of accepting refuge. Officials go to submit a letter to pay their respects, and they will be voted back. This adult is the kind of person who likes who will take the initiative to win over it.

On the issue of the Consultative Conference, the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan were not very active, only Songjiang Prefecture and Huating County were the most active, and they all contributed money and made various publicity and stimulus. In short, Ruan Dacheng and Yang Longyou licked Chen Ge's troops in different ways, which attracted a lot of scolding, but also won a lot of envious eyes. Generally, the scolding was scolding behind the scenes, and the envy was also privately.

On the surface, Chen Xie, the governor, does not take much care of government affairs in various parts of Jiangnan. Officials from all over the country would never think so. After the government summary meeting last quarter, three officials were impeached by Chen Xie for failing to complete the task of collecting commercial taxes. The response from the capital was unexpectedly quick, and the three officials were removed from their posts and went home to eat themselves. Why are these three unlucky? Everyone knows very well that these three often say strange words about commercial taxes and do not cooperate at work, so they were dealt with. Because of this, the "righteous" people impeached Chen Xie and persecuted Zhongliang, but they all ended up leaving nothing. However, some censors were sent home by the emperor for impeaching Chen Xie.

If you have something that is not clean under your butt, what are you facing impeaching Chen Xie? If you want evidence, the Dongchang can take out a bunch of hills to bury you. Comrade Zhu Youjian teaches you how to be an official in minutes. This kind of thing happened several times, and everyone was relieved. To put it badly, who would not be able to get along with the seat under your butt. To put it badly, who would not be able to get along with the emperor's wallet?

After a series of tricks to death, the atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was a bit depressing. However, I quickly saw a truth in the officialdom that Chen Xie could not defeat him. At least Zhu Youjian was in the position, so everyone should not work hard. Be smarter, so it's better to cause trouble for others.

In Huating, there are quite a few people who pay commercial taxes of more than 5 taels per month. Songjiang Prefecture, which has an extremely developed industry and commerce, catch up with a Huating New District. More than 1,000 families have met this standard, and they all got a vote to vote for the candidates you think are the most suitable. As a member of parliament, there are also standards for running for elections. First of all, the amount of tax paid per month must reach 200 taels. In other words, you have to pay more than 2,000 taxes per year, otherwise you can be a supporting role in voting.

.Huating County has more than fifty merchants who meet the election standards, but there are only seven quotas for parliamentarians, so the competition is naturally very fierce. But don’t underestimate those merchants who cannot run for election. After they meet the voting standards, they will naturally become the public opinion representatives of the Advisory Bureau. If you want to be a parliamentary, you have to canvass the votes, and then use all kinds of means. Everyone wants to taste the taste of the first member of the Advisory Bureau. Naturally, the Eight Immortals show their magical powers across the sea and want to take the lead.

At this time, the election is popular and popular publicity, which is to engage in private activities, and a group of candidates waved silver notes everywhere, promised various benefits, and tried to add more insurance. Someone was relatively calm. One was Cui Xin, the chairman of United Textile Group, who was sitting in his office at the moment, receiving a representative from Huating County who came to the door. This is a businessman who trades raw silk. Every year, the raw silk is underwritten by United Textile Factory. As long as there are raw silk, they are not afraid of being stuck in their hands, and they can collect money when sitting at home.

This kind of representative flattering Cui Xin is that there is no need to keep any moral integrity. Sit down and have a cup of tea. Cui Xin smiled and took out a contract and handed it to him, "Old Dong, the contract has expired at the end of the year. How about we renew the contract for three years?" Old Dong, who was not tall, smiled and persuaded him to be a pleat. After taking the contract, he didn't even look at it. He first pressed the handprint and then signed it.

Cui Xin also made up and said, "Oh, why don't you look first?" Old Dong nodded and bowed, "It's natural that there is no problem, but no one dares to trust you. United Textile Group has no credibility." In fact, there is no pitfall in this contract. Chinese businessmen have always had a low status and have traditionally formed a habit of oral agreements. Sometimes, just one sentence, partners believe you. It is easy to be cheated by others. Because there is no contract, when the Shen family was cheated by Chen Xie, many partners were cheated. It's different when it comes to Chen Xie. Cui Xin always tells these merchants that the contract still needs to be signed, and if there is any unhappiness in the future, it can be said clearly.

This is a deliberate behavior, which is to cultivate the contract spirit of merchants, respect contracts, rather than relying on verbal commitments to do business. This deliberate behavior undoubtedly subtly influences the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River and even the entire south of the Yangtze River. After all, not everyone in this world pays attention to promises. For enterprises under United Business, such as those under United Business, pay attention to contracts. What will their partners think about this? Once the contract is signed, it will definitely be fulfilled, and even if the transaction is lost, it will be executed.

Chen Xie also had another move that had a significant impact on the spirit of contract in industry and commerce, that is, the government's fairness. After a contract is signed, you can go to the local county government to demand justice. The fee is very low, which means a symbolic collection of a penny. As long as any contract is fair, the government will be held accountable if anyone cannot execute the contract in the future. Even if your backer is strong, the government (Chen Ge's department) will naturally come forward to seek justice for you.

Many things are a matter of habit. When the contract is spread throughout Jiangnan Province, the government will naturally protect the contract, and merchants will respect the contract. Even if you are a royal relative and intend to breach the contract, you can try it?

Huating Zhou's family is also very busy. Master Zhou runs around every day and wins votes everywhere. As one of Chen Xie's partners, his election preparations are still relatively smooth, but he cannot be taken lightly. Huating's industry and commerce are too prosperous, and its competitors are not weak. Even Master Zhou dares not be careless before the results come out.

At first, Mr. Zhou planned to join forces with Cui Xin to control this election, but unfortunately he was rejected by Cui Xin's "righteousness" and went to find his daughter again, but was also rejected. When he left, he scolded him several times and then went indignantly.

Is Zhou Xiuying a money-losing guy? Master Zhou is very clear in his heart. He is so old and is a woman who has separated from each other. It is a blessing for many lifetimes to be able to make an outdoor room for Chen Gemen. This is his true thought, don’t think it’s a joke. Even Zhou Xiuying himself doesn’t know which point Chen Xie likes her? Is it because Mr. Chen has a unique taste? He likes older people? Otherwise, why would he like a woman in his early thirties?

Because of these women's ideas, Chen Xie saved a lot of trouble. After Zhu Cixuan threw it to Ruan Dacheng to see the election procedures, Chen Xie quietly came to Huating and moved into the garden renamed "Ningyuan". It seemed that in this place, I hope to get peace.

In this place, Chen Xie is indeed relatively peaceful. No one comes back to disturb his life, and no one dares to disturb him.
