Qin Dewei ran away with just a little trickery. How could he have the intention to tangle with these old thugs again? He is a man who plans big things!
After leaving the old Qinhuai courtyard, I hired a sedan and hurried all the way to Sanshan Street and got into Mrs. Gu's house.
Spring has arrived, and Gu Qiongzhi, who is not afraid of the cold, changed out of his winter clothes early. Qin Dewei glanced at the outline and said humbly: "Please give me some more money."
Madam Gu was not afraid that Qin Dewei would come to ask for money and asked casually: "How much will it be this time?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I promised someone that I would give him five taels of silver every month this year. The total for the year is about sixty taels, not counting the New Year gifts."
Gu Qiongzhi's face quickly turned cold, and he snorted: "We only started to raise funds to expand shares in the second half of last year, and the profit for the whole year was less than 2,000.
Not to mention your usual daily needs, you only withdrew three hundred taels at the end of September last year, and you have already withdrawn all your last year's dividends and this year's expected dividends."
"Isn't that something serious?" Qin Dewei didn't know why Mrs. Gu suddenly became so fussy. She had always been quite generous.
Madam Gu also responded: "I knew it was Master Zeng's business to rush for the exam, so I didn't stop him. I used my own money to help you pay for it, otherwise how could you get the three hundred taels of bonus?"
Why is there always not enough money? Qin Dewei said helplessly: "But this time it's business."
Gu Qiongzhi sneered repeatedly: "What's the business? Okay, you call the people over, and I'll see what kind of people are worth five taels a month."
Mrs. Gu's face suddenly changed. She felt so ashamed and humiliated, and said angrily: "It's still a man! It's too much for you to use my money to raise a little one, and you even learn those unimproved things to hook up with a man! I want it."
Go tell uncle!"
Qin Dewei: ""
Just get used to it. I guess Sister Gu's brain circuit has gone astray again.
Now Qin Dewei has long been out of work, and has no salary income. After becoming a scholar, his status is different from before, and it is impossible for him to want to work as a clerk in the county government and earn an empty salary.
So if you want to spend money, you can only "borrow" it from Mrs. Gu. You must explain clearly what you need to explain. For money, don't be shabby!
So Qin Dewei said vigorously: "This money is all used to buy the county school teacher who ranks first in the monthly exam!"
"You can't blame me for misunderstanding." Mrs. Gu blushed a little: "There is a second shopkeeper in the store who is not very good at it. He keeps a small outhouse outside and is afraid that his family will find out about the money he spent.
He deliberately deposited part of his salary in the store and asked the small outside room to withdraw it on a monthly basis, which is very similar to what you said."
"I'll lend it to you!" Qin Dewei said, "It will be deducted from next year's dividends!"
Gu Qiongzhi was speechless. It was only the beginning of March, and he had already started to advance dividends for next year? But if you want to spend it, you can spend it, instead of just raising a man.
However, when talking about the future, Mrs. Gu was slightly worried, and added: "Today I heard that Mr. Feng County is resigning, and I'm afraid the bank will also be affected."
In the early days, the bank business was supported by the business of the county government. Now, although the proportion of other businesses has increased after the expansion of shares, the credit endorsement and official application of the government and county government are still very important.
If Magistrate Feng leaves office and is replaced by Magistrate Xin, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Qin Dewei himself is not strong enough to suppress the county government.
Mrs. Gu was afraid that Qin Dewei would not be able to think about it, so she calmed down and said, "If it doesn't work, we will shrink it. There are still two salt shops, so you have no problem raising one."
Qin Dewei sighed, there was never enough money. He was still thinking about running a newspaper to manipulate public opinion when he got rich. This was definitely a money-losing business, and he would definitely not be able to survive without strong funds and constant blood transfusions.
Moreover, Qin Dewei has too many ideas about spending money. He also wants to spend money to support a music team and get some music he likes to listen to. He can invite Wang Lianqing to be the music director.
"How can a man say no!" Qin Dewei was suddenly filled with the desire to make money: "I have my own idea, and it will be the same no matter who becomes the county magistrate! Of course, if this plan fails, I will just think of another way!"
Gu Qiongzhi guessed: "Could it be that you want to change your attitude and sell part of your shares to Yan Fuyin?"
Qin Dewei: ""
If you are not afraid of having your home confiscated in thirty years, you can do this.
Gu Qiongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "What a good person Mr. Feng is, it would be better if he didn't leave."
Broken! Qin Dewei slapped his forehead fiercely. He had been feeling as if he had forgotten something today, and now he finally remembered it!
The sun was setting and the sky was dusk. In the back hall of the county government office, Magistrate Feng still couldn't leave.
In the eyes of the assistant, it was just that Mr. Feng was reluctant to leave his post, but who knew how sad Mr. Feng was?
It's been a whole day, and I sent someone to notify Qin Dewei in the morning, but Qin Dewei hasn't come yet!
Mr. Feng was very sad. Is this what it feels like to have cold tea after leaving?
However, before the yamen was locked at nightfall, Magistrate Feng finally heard a familiar voice: "Qin Dewei, the foolish student in charge, pays homage to the county magistrate!"
Seeing Qin Dewei hurriedly running in again, he raised his hand and saluted and said: "I was so busy enrolling for the first time today. I had a lot of fun chatting with my classmates at school, and I forgot the time for a while!"
Bah! Magistrate Feng cursed secretly, he sent people to the county to study, but Qin Dewei obviously took people to the old Qinhuai courtyard to fool around.
But when a person is about to leave, his words are also good. It is rare for Feng Zhixian to have high emotional intelligence and not expose it once.
Qin Dewei asked tentatively: "What are the arrangements for the county magistrate?"
"After handing over the government affairs to the Zuotang County Magistrate, he will go north to the capital for pilgrimage and undergo inspection, and then be appointed separately." Magistrate Feng had nothing to hide from Qin Dewei, "Maybe he will be admitted to the Sixth Ministry. Where do you think is the best place to go?"
According to the Ming Dynasty officialdom tradition, when a local magistrate comes to Beijing, even if he is appointed at the same level, it is regarded as a promotion, not to mention that Magistrate Feng is expected to be promoted.
As for the place that is most suitable for Magistrate Feng, Qin Dewei knew it well, and immediately replied: "The Ministry of Rites is very good. There is nothing practical in this place, especially the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and it is an idle official among idle officials. It is most suitable for you, Mr. Feng."
Already."
Master Feng: ""
As the man is about to leave, his words are good, so he will not take action today.
Feng Zhixian also gave serious instructions: "In the future, you will be helpless. You must treat your officials with care and respect, and don't cause trouble easily again."
"There is still Da Sima who can take refuge." Qin Dewei said: "By the way, Mr. Feng can write a letter for me."
Feng Zhixian laughed "haha": "Wang Hong, who is in charge of the Procuratorate of the Capital, has been changed to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wang Dashima has been appointed as the Censor of Zuodu. He is in charge of the Procuratorate of the Capital. He may leave Nanjing with me!"
Qin Dewei: ""
This is going to change. There is no one in Nanjing to support you directly. It will be difficult to do something! You have offended so many people. What if you are counterattacked?
Qin Dewei began to consider whether he should go to his stepfather if he won the imperial examination according to historical trends.
Feng Zhixian asked again: "I am about to leave office, so why don't you give me a poem?"
Qin Dewei thought about what was on his mind and casually chanted: "The envoy Feng Nanjiang is coming out of Zaidiwangzhou. As the old saying goes, Gantang is an official at the head of the river."
Feng Zhixian only felt that it was very familiar, as if he had heard it before.
Alas, the man is about to leave. If you don't give him a beating, you won't have a chance.
