C384

Mrs. Xia, who hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly sent someone to her house to invite her. Originally, she also wanted to find Mrs. Xia. Now that she comes, she happens to go directly.

It's also a coincidence that when I arrived at the summer mansion, I just met sharp, the Minister of Dali temple, who was away on duty at noon.

"Lord Xia."

"I have seen Princess Anle."

"Mr. Xia is really considerate to his wife. Even lunch is shared with his wife. It's really enviable."

"The princess is surrounded by Cui Shizi, his royal highness King Jing, and the emperor. The most enviable one should be you."

Sharp said this with sarcasm in her eyes, which made her very uncomfortable.

"My Lord, where can I begin to say that?"

"The princess knows that it's inconvenient for me to tell you more. Since it's the lady who invited the princess, I'd like to have a meal together. But I don't want to worry about it."

The corner of her mouth raised: "I'm afraid that the adults have forgotten. I came from a small place, not to mention the simple food. It's not too much to be hungry."

After that, Feng Tingting went straight in.

Just then, Mrs. Xia came over and met her with a smile.

"It's a good time for the girl to come."

Sharp frowned: "madam, etiquette!"

"Master, I know the princess from the old time, so I don't need these things. You'd better go to have a meal."

Sharp looked at his wife and had no choice but to go to the dining room.

"He must have said something that makes you uncomfortable. That's what he says. He doesn't shut the door and says what he wants. But in fact, he's very nice. Sometimes he's like a child."

"It can be seen that Lord Xia treats you very differently, at least different from that of some senior officials."

Sharp and Mrs. sharp are more like ordinary couples in modern society than couples in a patriarchal society, so they are different.

"Let's take a step." Said, Xia lady then took her to the backyard side hall.

As soon as the two men sat down, before they could speak, they saw the housekeeper coming with the food box.

"Madam, the master said, I'm afraid you're hungry. Let the little one take it. You can't let the princess go with you."

After all, the housekeeper's all kinds of dishes are really plain food compared with ordinary official families.

"Don't look out, princess. This is what we eat on weekdays. The master doesn't like meat and fish, so he can only use some light ones."

"It's OK. It's light. If everyone is as honest and upright as Mr. Xia, Jiguo will be more prosperous and there won't be any trouble."

Mrs. Xia also sighed: "you are right, but there are so many honest and upright people in this world. The problem is that sometimes even if there are such honest and upright officials, there are still troubles."

"In fact, this honest and upright official is not easy to do. There is an emperor on the top of it, and the officials at the bottom are not willing to work with him, so they can only take care of themselves. In fact, they are also tearful people."

"If it had not been for the help of the Minister of the Ministry of finance, I was afraid that the master would not have been appreciated by the emperor."

Thinking about the past, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but blush.

"Well, if we don't talk about these bad things, it's not easy for us to get to where we are now. Naturally, we have to take a long-term view. Are you willing to do what we said to you before?"

"I'm looking forward to my wife's coming to me, but I'm afraid it will be a little late for Jiang's pawnshop."

"Jiang's pawnshop is already in your pocket. Now you only need to rejoin the chamber of Commerce, and you don't need to arrange the pawnshop by yourself. People with the chamber of Commerce will deal with it."

"After all, the pawnshop is in the name of the chamber of Commerce, and some things can be compensated."

Feng Tingting is a little surprised. Although Ling Zeyi also told her about the benefits before, she did not expect that the chamber of Commerce would have compensation. This is indeed unexpected.

When Mrs. Xia saw her, she explained: "generally speaking, the chamber of Commerce guarantees the interests of merchants, but the difference of lingdu chamber of commerce is that it can also hang its shop under the chamber of Commerce."

"In other words, the chamber of Commerce receives 30% of the annual dividends, of which 20% is given to the state treasury, and another 10% is in the chamber of Commerce. In this sense, the shop is losing money. But the problem is that once there is a situation in the shop, such as deficit or theft, as long as there is sufficient evidence, the chamber of Commerce will take out part of the dividend to subsidize it."

She finally understood that this chamber of commerce is similar to an insurance company, but different from modern insurance companies, if the boss of the shop goes wrong, the insurance shop will become state-owned.

This is very interesting. The idea is very advanced.

"If so, why is the Treasury empty?"

Mrs. Xia said with a faint smile: "it's just for outsiders to see. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Treasury has been filled with a lot of money. It's just a matter of fiddling with the accounts."

"Although our chamber of commerce is directly managed by the emperor, in fact, the person in charge is the Minister of Hubu, and the accounts are also revised by him."

She was slightly stunned and remembered that the Minister of Hubu seemed to be Zhuo Liwen's father!"But I remember that the Minister of Hubu was not favored by the emperor. How could he give him such an important task?"

"Silly boy, sometimes the more you can't be spoiled, you can trust him the most. Look at Mr. mu, he has followed the emperor since he was a child. He is the emperor's confidant, but his words and deeds are in the eyes of others. If you turn it over, you can have unnecessary trouble

Feng Tingting patted her head. How could she forget such a simple thing.

Are not those who fight in the harem, the more favored they are, the more likely they are to become the eyesore of others?

The most important thing is that the emperor trusted the Duke of Rongguo. As the wife of the emperor, he must also be trusted, let alone his mother's family.

"By the way, this time I invite you to come here. One is about the shop, and another important thing is that the emperor wants you to share my pressure."

"Me?" Feng Tingting's eyes widened, thinking that she had heard wrong, "madam, don't be kidding!"

"Even if I want to make a joke, the emperor won't let me. Besides, if you have this ability, the emperor also trusts you. Why do you have to shirk the position of the two shopkeepers?"

"What's more, I'm ok now, but a few years later, I'm old and weak. Naturally, I need a successor. It's better to train now than to find one."

"This is Does the emperor mean that I was recommended by my wife? "

"What's the difference? You just have to do what you can."

"Madam, although the emperor acknowledged my ability, he did not trust me as much as he believed his wife, so..."

"Yes, I recommend you, but it's actually the meaning of the Duke and Mrs. Guo. I do this to repay the kindness of her, and of course for myself. After all, you are the only one in the chamber of Commerce who really communicates with me."

Feng Tingting feels flattered. Although she feels that Zhuo Liwen likes her a little, she just didn't expect that Zhuo Liwen would ask Mrs. Xia to be the second manager of lingdu!

The identities of the two shopkeepers are also different. They are directly facing the internal and external struggles of the imperial court. Although it is a difficult position, it is also the most popular position.

Feng Tingting wants to be the richest person in Ji state. Even if it is difficult to be the second leader, she has to continue to do it, and she has to take over the position of the big manager!

Then, Mrs. Xia simply said something about management. At this time, sharp, who should take a rest, suddenly came.

"Princess Anle, can you talk about it?"
