Chapter 144 General Manager
The woman in front of Zhao Fuxiang is of medium height, slender figure, and has an oval face, which is very in line with the aesthetic point of view of the Ming Dynasty people. This woman's big eyes are full of tears. If this woman were thirty years younger, she would definitely be a first-class one.
Great beauty!
Zhao Fuxiang did not expect that the woman in front of him was an old lady. Although she was not very old, only about forty-seven or eighty-eight, she was definitely an old lady in the Ming Dynasty! Although Zhao Fuxiang had never met Li Zhengdao's wife, Li Zhengdao was only thirty.
Years old, his wife must be thirty at most, probably around twenty-five or six. The woman in front of her has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she is definitely not Li Zhengdao's wife.
When the woman saw a strange man coming into the house, she quickly stopped crying, stood up and stepped aside, and asked warily: "Who are you? Why did you break into the slave's room?"
Although this woman is quite old, her voice is very pleasant to the ear. At the same time, she does not speak Cantonese, but Suzhou dialect similar to that of Zhao Fuxiang's concubine Qin Lan.
Zhao Fuxiang's bones went numb when he heard the soft Wuyue dialect. He smiled and asked, "Who are you? Why do you appear at my brother's house?"
The woman saw that Zhao Fuxiang was not a good person, so she took a step back, and then said: "The Nu family is Zhengdao's biological mother. Since you are Zhengdao's brother, you must abide by the etiquette. No one can see it late at night, so the Nu family will just pretend that this incident did not happen."
, why don’t you back out?”
When Zhao Fuxiang heard that she was Li Zhengdao's wife, he was startled. He didn't expect that Li Zhengdao's wife was so beautiful. Although she was already forty-seven or eighty-years-old, her eyes were affectionate and her movements were full of charm.
Zhao Fuxiang was hesitant at this time. After all, she was his brother's mother. Wouldn't he be a little too human if he slept with his brother's mother? But when Zhao Fuxiang saw the appearance of this woman, he felt a little reluctant to let her go.
Zhao Fuxiang gritted his teeth and said secretly: The gang rules of the Tiandihui stipulated that Sister-in-law Gou should be punished with three swords and six holes, but it did not stipulate what punishment Brother Gou and his wife should receive. Li Zhengdao's father had just died, and his mother naturally became a widow. He took his place.
His father took care of his mother, Li Zhengdao should thank himself!
Zhao Fuxiang found a reasonable explanation for himself, so he no longer flinched. He stepped forward and grabbed the woman's wrist, and said with a smile: "Aunt, I heard that my uncle just passed away and that my aunt was unbearably lonely alone in the empty house, so I asked my nephew to relieve my loneliness.
!”
Zhao Fuxiang spent the whole night in the small building. Fortunately, this single-family building was specially prepared by Li Zhengdao for his wife. No one usually came, so Zhao Fuxiang succeeded.
When Zhao Fuxiang saw that it was almost dawn outside, he quickly packed up his clothes and ran away. Before leaving, he did not forget to hold Li Zhengdao's mother's hand and said: "Beauty, I will come here often in the future!"
Zhao Fuxiang returned to the guest room along the path he came from, opened the door and walked in while getting dressed. Unexpectedly, he saw a person sitting in the room as soon as he entered the room. It was his old friend Li Zhengdao.
Zhao Fuxiang was shocked when he saw Li Zhengdao. He thought that someone had discovered the bullshit thing he had just done. After all, he had slept with his wife and was in the wrong!
Zhao Fuxiang entered the room and looked at Li Zhengdao. The boy was wearing mourning clothes, his face was full of anger, and he was sitting in the room sulking.
Zhao Fuxiang walked in carefully and asked as if nothing happened: "Brother Xian, you came so early! There is no toilet in the house, so I couldn't help but go out for convenience and soiled your garden. Please bear with me!"
Li Zhengdao shook his head and said: "What does my brother say? You and I still care about it!"
Zhao Fuxiang felt a little relieved when he saw that Li Zhengdao didn't seem to notice his little secret.

He tightened his clothes, then sat next to Li Zhengdao and asked: "My dear brother, don't be sad when your father passes away. From now on..."
Zhao Fuxiang originally wanted to persuade Li Zhengdao, but before Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, Li Zhengdao slapped the table and cursed: "Brother, please comment, even if I am a concubine, why don't you let me enter the house to pay my respects to my father's spiritual throne? There are also Qiongzhou officials.
The errand was arranged by my father while he was still alive, so why did my eldest brother send someone else to take my place!"
Zhao Fuxiang was confused when he heard this. What are you talking about, your eldest brother, your boss, what are these things?
Li Zhengdao must have been hurt in some way in the main house last night. He was so bitter in front of Zhao Fuxiang, and at the same time he cursed his brothers who were not human beings. After hearing what Li Zhengdao said, Zhao Fuxiang knew what was going on.
The difficulty of having a big family is the problem of dividing the family property!
Li Zhengdao was a concubine and the youngest son. His mother was a thin horse back then. After joining the old man of the Li family, he was very favored. The head wife of the family was naturally angry when she saw it. However, the old man was still alive at that time, and no one in the family dared to treat Li Zhengdao.
How is mother and son? It can be seen from the fact that Li Zhengdao was given a large yard when he got married. The old man of the Li family still likes his son very much.
But everyone dies. Now that Mr. Li died, Li Zhengdao and his son immediately lost their backbone. Not only was his mother kicked out and went to live with her son, but Li Zhengdao was not allowed to come in even when he went to attend the funeral. There is also the most critical thing.
, that is, the eldest young master of the Li family sent someone to tell Li Zhengdao that from today on, his errands in Qiongzhou Prefecture will be gone, and he will completely sever ties with the Li family from now on.
This is what scares Li Zhengdao. Although Qiongzhou Mansion is not a good place, size is the main thing after all. He can also make a hundred taels of silver every year. But now that the errands are gone, what will his family of more than a dozen people do?
?
After much thought, Li Zhengdao came back to ask Zhao Fuxiang. He had been working with Zhao Fuxiang for three months and knew that Zhao Fuxiang's future development would definitely be more than this. If Zhao Fuxiang could give him a job, his future development would definitely be higher than that of the Li family. Maybe he could get revenge.
The Li brothers who are not kind to themselves!
Li Zhengdao talked about his family's troubles for two hours. It was already bright outside. Although Zhao Fuxiang slept for a few hours last night, he was physically exhausted, so he yawned all the time. Li Zhengdao thought that Zhao Fuxiang didn't
He likes to hear about his own family affairs, so he shut up quickly, then looked at Zhao Fuxiang's face, and then said carefully: "Brother Zhao, you see that I have no income now, can I be a manager under Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Fuxiang laughed: "Brother Xian, I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just a trivial matter? Why are you and I brothers talking to each other like this? You also know Nanyang Company. From now on, the position of general manager will be handed over to
You!"
Li Zhengdao sent goods to Zhao Fuxiang for three months, so he naturally knew what a huge company Nanyang Company was. In addition to the factories on the island, there were also shops obtained from Zhang Chengde's house. Originally, the job of the general manager was done by Kong Shouzhen.
Thinking that Zhao Fuxiang could actually let him do it, Li Zhengdao was overjoyed and said: "Brother Zhao, is this true? But isn't Mr. Kong in charge now? If my younger brother goes, Mr. Kong may have some ideas!"
Zhao Fuxiang shook his head and said: "Lao Kong has other jobs. From now on, this Nanyang Company will belong to you. Now the first task for you is to hire some iron-smelting masters from Guangdong. My father can't wait any longer!
"
Now that Li Zhengdao had changed from partner to general manager, he naturally got into work immediately. He wrote down all the instructions given by Zhao Fuxiang, saying that he would start working as soon as his father burned his head.

Zhao Fuxiang originally wanted to swallow up half of Li Zhengdao's shares, but now he appointed Li Zhengdao as the general manager with a wave of his hand. In addition to sleeping with his wife, he felt sorry for not getting some benefits. Another thing is that Zhao Fuxiang really wanted to establish
The political school needs Kong Shouzhen to prepare for this.
The political school was a joke of Zhao Heng at the time, but Zhao Fuxiang thought about it on the boat these days and realized that he should really set up a school to train cadres. Zhao Fuxiang has traveled so far and has a preliminary understanding of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Those officials still
It's okay, at least it can lead the administration, but the level of the officials under the officials is not even the slightest bit worse.
Apart from anything else, the few petty officials in the Shipping Department of Guangzhou Dock City used very rough methods to manage the dock and did not maximize profits at all. According to Zhao Fuxiang, these officials could not even keep up with the village cadres of later generations.
Zhao Fuxiang traveled to this era to rebuild a new dynasty. If his officials were still at the level of the Ming Dynasty, how could they catch up with the Premier League and the United States? How could they dominate the world? So after careful consideration, Zhao Fuxiang decided to build a political school to train people.
own cadre team. Of course, the location of the school has also been decided. It will be located at the New World Farm established by Zhao Fuxiang two months ago. The name of the school will be New World Political School!
With his new job, Li Zhengdao was very happy and quickly ordered his family to prepare breakfast for Zhao Fuxiang, and he wanted to eat with Brother Zhao!
Zhao Fuxiang's intense exercise last night consumed a lot of energy. In addition, the Li family's chefs are really good. They made several kinds of pickles that were very delicious. Zhao Fuxiang drank two bowls of fragrant rice porridge and added a drawer of crab roe soup dumplings.
After eating and drinking, Li Zhengdao said: "Brother Zhao, my mother happens to be living with me too. Brother Zhao, would you like to follow me to the back house to visit my mother?"
In ancient times, if the relationship between friends reached a certain level, they would go into the back house to visit the other person's family, mainly the mother, wife and other female relatives. In ancient times, this was called going to the church to worship the mother, and it was the highest etiquette between friends.
When Zhao Fuxiang heard that he was going to visit Li Zhengdao's mother, he thought that he had just come back and it would be too embarrassing to visit him now. However, Li Zhengdao's kindness was hard to refuse, so Zhao Fuxiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Li Zhengdao to the back house.
.
Zhao Fuxiang followed Li Zhengdao back to his old place. When he arrived at the small building, Li Zhengdao's wife was already waiting here. Even Li Zhengdao's wife was sitting in the main hall, waiting for Zhao Fuxiang's visit.
Li Zhengdao introduced Zhao Fuxiang into the main hall, and then said with a smile: "Mom, this is the eldest brother Zhao Jinliang that my son told you!"
After Li Zhengdao finished speaking, he turned to Zhao Fuxiang and said: "Brother, at this moment my mother Li Mengshi, next to you is your younger brother and sister Li Dushi, and that one is the dog Li Xian!"
Even if Zhao Fuxiang was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he was too embarrassed to raise his head at this time, so he had to bow his head and salute, and then said: "My nephew meets my aunt! I have met my brothers and sisters!"
Li Zhengdao's wife Meng thought of the ridiculous thing last night and wanted to step forward and strangle Zhao Fuxiang to death. But now that her son was here, she had no choice but to continue acting. Meng calmed down and said in a low voice: "My nephew is not allowed to show off today."
!”
When Zhao Fuxiang heard a familiar voice, he raised his head and glanced at Meng. His eyes met with Meng's. Meng quickly blushed and lowered her head. On the contrary, it was Li Zhengdao's wife Du Shi who generously gave Zhao Fuxiang a hand.
received a gift in return.
It was just a courtesy to visit the mother-in-law, not to sit down and chat about family affairs, so after the visit, Zhao Fuxiang followed Li Zhengdao to his outer house. Li Zhengdao was still busy with his father's affairs, so Zhao Fuxiang relaxed and prepared since he had nothing to do.
Go out for a walk and experience the local customs and customs of Guangzhou!
