Chapter 56: Comforting
An inn in Qingshui County.
"Let's take a look here for the next few days. When the final decision is made, my father will also be concerned about this matter!"
Zheng Yun gave instructions in a low voice, so that his extremely worried men did not have to worry.
Being intimidated by Shen Xiao before and applying for a transfer order from above was not a big deal.
As long as these people don't want to leave, there will always be a way to stay in Yongzhou.
"Yes, with the help of adults, there is no danger!"
"We all listen to adults."
Several people nodded. Shen Xiao was really powerful this time and directly dealt with Chu Shengyun.
The reason why Zheng Yun moved here quietly with a few subordinates was because Shen Xiao had a tacit understanding with Ji Chuyan in dealing with Chu Shengyun this time.
So Zheng Yun was embarrassed and continued to use his connections from the previous generation to stay in the manor.
When these people came here, they actually wanted to take revenge on Shen Xiao.
"Well, this is a thousand taels of silver notes. You have worked hard recently. Go and have fun around the city!"
Zheng Yun took out a banknote from his sleeve and tried to win over these people.
It's not that Zheng Yun is afraid of these people being disloyal, it's just that now, he always wants to give these people some benefits.
Otherwise, who would still be here to help?
Qingshui County is a small place, and Zheng Yun also needs help from these people.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Your Excellency is so generous."
The subordinates smiled happily and left with their banknotes.
Although Qingshui County is a small place, there are many places to play.
Zheng Yun sent these people away, obviously he had something to do, and these people knew what to do.
When his subordinates left, Zheng Yun's face turned gloomy.
"Ji Chuyan, you don't want to give me face. If you insist on being with this Shen Xiao Niwai, don't blame me for being heartless."
Zheng Yun clenched his fists, obviously having more plans in mind.
Although Ji Chuyan's family is powerful, it is not the Ji family's territory in Yongzhou and Qingshui County.
Ji Chuyan's recent attitude has made Zheng Yun very dissatisfied.
Shen Xiao received benefits one after another, which made Zheng Yun very unhappy.
"If raw rice is cooked..."
Considering this method, Zheng Yun now has some plans. Ji Chuyan is here alone, and now he is not helpless.
As long as there are some actions, it will not be difficult for Zheng Yun to capture Ji Chuyan.
It is impossible for Shen Xiao to follow Ji Chuyan all the time, and Zheng Yun can see that in fact, Shen Xiao and Ji Chuyan are not necessarily that close...
Three days later, all official procedures were completed, and the business originally under Shen Xiao's name was completely opened.
In the Shen family's house, Shen Xiao came back here again wearing a pale white brocade robe, and everything felt like things were different.
Everything in the house seems to have not changed, but in fact it is not.
"Master, no, I should call you master now!"
Chunlan was joking about Shen Xiao. She had recovered from her injuries recently and had changed into bright red and festive clothes.
Shen Xiao's revenge was finally avenged, and both master and servant were very happy.
"You... are going to be in charge of the palace soon, but you have to be dignified."
"I asked you to contact the old servants from the previous family and ask them to come back and double their wages."
Shen Xiao, who was sitting in the lobby, smiled and said to Chunlan.
When Shen Xiao came back this time, he naturally wanted to make the Shen family feel like a family.
In the past, many old servants in the family were good to Shen Xiao. Zhao Guixia deliberately dismissed many of them. Now that Shen Xiao is back, of course she will let these people come to the Shen family again.
After all, these people are all old people, so Shen Xiao can feel confident using them.
"Yes, don't worry, young master. I'll look for them in the past two days and they will all come back. Girls like Cui'er and Yue'er are staying in Linxian."
"The original Chef Zheng is in the back kitchen today!"
Chunlan nodded happily. Shen Xiao could say this, which of course made Chunlan happy.
Chunlan was even happier when she returned home today.
And Shen Xiao asked Chunlan to find some of the original servants, who were also close friends with Chunlan.
"By the way, young master, the shopkeepers of several shops have brought their account books and have made an appointment with you. They will be here soon."
When it came to business, Chunlan was of course much more serious. She was not as happy as before, but arranged everything for Shen Xiao.
Under Ji Chuyan's guidance, Chunlan has indeed changed a lot.
"Well, it's time to arrive."
Shen Xiao nodded. In fact, the person in charge of the family's properties was not Zhao Guixia, but the shopkeeper.
Shen Xiao had basically met these people during his unannounced visit to Qingshui County.
"Young boys, meet my boss!"
Before Shen Xiao could finish his words, several middle-aged people came over in a hurry.
These people are the people in charge of the Shen family's property. Zhao Guixia was the boss before, but now it is Shen Xiao. These people are a little worried.
The shopkeepers knew very well how Zhao Guixia treated Shen Xiao and how much she had cheated the Shen family.
Although most of these shopkeepers were cautious and no one dared to directly help Zhao Guixia, no one opposed Zhao Guixia on the surface.
If Shen Xiao wants to change a few shopkeepers, it's really hard to say much about these people.
"The younger one's name is Zhang Yu!"
"The younger one's name is Wang Wu."
"The younger one's name is Zheng Laoqi."
…
The shopkeepers introduced themselves. They were all a little embarrassed. Although Shen Xiao didn't punish them, these people were still very scared.
If Shen Xiao laid off these people, then these shopkeepers would have no choice but to leave sadly.
Shen Xiao can deal with the county magistrate, and it is certainly not difficult to deal with several shopkeepers.
"Everyone, please sit down. Don't worry about anything. I can see your performance."
"As for the internal conflicts within the Shen family, there is nothing wrong if you don't interfere. After reading the account books, if there are no problems, you will still be the shopkeeper!"
Shen Xiao comforted these people and told them not to worry. He was not an unreasonable person.
Zhao Guixia has the support of Chu Wenbo, and many people choose to keep silent. Shen Xiao will not criticize these shopkeepers harshly.
As long as these people don't deliberately cause trouble when running the business and the business is good, Shen Xiao will still let these people be the shopkeepers.
"Thank you, boss!"
When the shopkeepers saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect Shen Xiao to say this.
Now that Shen Xiao has said this and made it very clear, what else do these people have to say.
Now that things have come to this, Shen Xiao doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person.
These people trust Shen Xiao. If Shen Xiao is willing to give him a chance, the shopkeepers will naturally want to follow Shen Xiao.
"Report what each of you knows."
Shen Xiao looked through the account books and chatted with these people.
Because Shen Xiao had gone around and looked around before, Shen Xiao had an idea of how the business was going and how much profit it would make.
You only need to look at the account books to know if there is any mischief.
"The owner currently has 100 acres of paddy fields, 30 acres of wheat fields, two fishing boats, and ten fishermen tenant households..."
The shopkeepers talked miscellaneously, saying that Shen Xiao actually had a lot of things under his name.
But most of them were abandoned after Zhao Guixia took over. All Zhao Guixia wanted was cash.
Chapter completed!
