"What do you think Boss Tangxi wants to do by calling us all to the Lu Mansion?"
"I don't know, but according to the character of the previous Tangxi boss, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
"That's true. Anyway, I've had enough of working in the previous factory."
"That's right. I don't know what Mr. Lu Yao thinks. He would hand over these factories to others. It's really a loss-making business."
In the streets of the inner city, a group of former brothers from Tangxi were walking towards Lu Mansion together. They were all curious about Lu Yao's arrangements next. On the other side, people were also collectively complaining about the industry that Lu Yao had made before.
The decision to transform. People like them naturally don't know what Lu Yao is thinking, and they don't understand the principles behind government and business. But it's no wonder they have it. All they can think about now is how to survive alone in this inner city.
, to live a more comfortable life, none of them want to go back to the days when they lived with Tangxi in the outer city. That's why they are very interested in Lu Yao coming to them today, but most of them are interested in Lu Yao.
Yao is still grateful. No matter what their current situation is, it was Lu Yao who brought them to the inner city and found a job. The more people like them, the more grateful they are. What's more, now
Lu Yao meant that they would not be allowed to continue working in a factory where their work was not going well, and they were still very happy in their hearts.
Everyone was chatting without saying a word. When they heard everyone mention Boss Tangxi, one of them said impatiently: "I can tell you, it doesn't matter if you call me Boss Tangxi now, but when you get to Lu Mansion later,
But you have to be careful, what should you call it?"
"Tangxi Butler!" Everyone replied in unison.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Yao had had lunch. At this time, there was less than half an hour left before calling everyone. Lu Yao then called his eldest brother Lu Hao. Regarding what to do next, Xu
There was no way to help, not to mention that she was pregnant. Lu Yao thought, it would be better to let her rest more. As for Lu Hao, he had already asked for leave and would take care of her at home before Xu gave birth.
She, so it is understandable for her to help Lu Yao now.
In fact, Lu Hao and Mrs. Xu have been waiting for Lu Yao's instructions these days. After all, this bank matter is no longer just Lu Yao's business. On Xu's side, Lu Yao had taken control of the bank before.
I took over the bank's account book, which has now begun to record the revenue and expenditure as well as the share ratios of various industries that need to be given out and recovered.
Before getting the account book, Xu felt that she was just helping Lu Yao manage the bank with minor issues, and Lu Yao also said that in the early stages of the bank's operation, he would not be given very complicated tasks.
Who knows how good this will be, Lu Yao directly handed over the account book to himself and asked him to handle the accounts clearly. Things like account books, no matter which industry they are in, are of the first importance. Xu naturally
Knowing the reason. Lu Yao's ability to hand over the account book to him shows that he has enough trust in her and believes that she can do this well. Although Lu Yao has not put any pressure on Xu, Xu herself feels that
Since Lu Yao believes in himself so much, he must not let him down. With this mentality, Xu has been studying the accounting matters these days. But Lu Hao can only worry about the accounting matters.
He can't interfere, but Lu Yao has been slow to arrange things for him. Fortunately, he finally waited for Lu Yao's summons today. As long as he can help his wife with the bank's affairs, Lu Hao will not do anything.
I don't mind following Lu Yao's orders too much.
Lu Hao came to the main hall to meet Lu Yao. There was still a quarter of an hour before the meeting time. As soon as Lu Hao arrived at the main hall, Tangxi had already returned with a carriage. He summoned some servants to carry things from the carriage and moved them directly.
Arrived in the main hall.
Lu Hao carefully looked at what these people moved, including hundreds of manuscripts. His first impression was whether this was Lu Yao's new work, but then he thought about it. Lu Yao called him over today to discuss the bank.
So what is written on it? Is it related to the bank? These things are not meant to be shown to my wife, Mrs. Xu, right?
When Lu Yao saw Tang Xi coming back, he asked how many copies of the manuscript had been printed. Tang Xi said that the printing factory had stopped all other work during this period and dedicated it to printing this manuscript. In the end, 600 copies were printed.
"Are they still printing it now? The last thing I want is a thousand copies." Lu Yao said.
Tang Xi nodded and said: "They are still working on it. I think it will be completed in a while. When the brothers before me come, they can pick it up at any time."
"That's all. You go and rest for a while, and then go to the door to greet your brothers." Lu Yao said.
Tang Xi nodded. He was indeed a little tired by now, so he went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of water.
At this time, there were only two people left in the main hall, Lu Yao and Lu Hao.
"Are these all the documents needed to open a bank? Don't you want your sister-in-law to read them all?" Lu Hao was silent for a moment and asked again.
When Lu Yao heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said, "How is this possible? My sister-in-law is about to give birth. How can I give her so many manuscripts?"
Lu Hao felt relieved a little, but he said in a bad tone: "You also know that she is about to give birth. You didn't give her so many manuscripts, but just giving her a ledger is enough for her. These days
God, she stares at those account books every day."
Lu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you are right about this. I really don't understand my sister-in-law's character, and I don't know that she will delve into this matter every day after taking the account book. But I have to say,
She is indeed very talented in financial management, and because of this, I can safely hand over the account books to her. After all, it is not a problem to leave the bank to others, and problems will inevitably arise."
Lu Hao sighed and said, "I don't understand the reason. I just feel a little distressed when I see her working so hard. Anyway, I should actually say thank you to you. At least, you let her spend her time."
It helped her to find something to do after she was in a bad mood before giving birth, saving her from being depressed all day long when I went to court."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite." Having said this, Lu Yao suddenly remembered that in the Lu family, his father did not take concubines, nor did his eldest brother take concubines. Lu Yao knew about the relationship between Lu Xu and his mother, but
What did the elder brother think?
There was still some time, so Lu Yao simply asked: "Speaking of which, brother, haven't you ever thought about marrying a concubine?"
Lu Haoxin said, you called me here just to ask me this? Thinking of this, he was about to complain about Lu Yao, but he saw Lu Yao's very serious expression, so he replied: "I really never thought about it."
"Why?"
"To be honest, our father is now the Minister of Household Affairs in the court. There are many people who want to be related to our family. Among other things, your engagement with Miss Han's family is an example. And before you came of age,
In fact, my parents had already thought about letting me take a concubine. I just thought that when your sister-in-law married me, her parents were dead and she was my legal wife, but before she showed everyone her ability to take charge of the Lu family's money.
, she has little status in our family, and I can't speak for her because of my status. I thought that if I take a concubine, her life will be more difficult in the future, and she now has no family.
,well."
Lu Hao's words moved Lu Yao very much. To be honest, in ancient times, it was rare to find people who valued love and justice like his eldest brother Lu Hao, and Lu Hao's actions also indirectly
This inspired Lu Yao to want to be with Cao Han.
Seeing that Lu Yao was thoughtful, Lu Hao said, "You didn't call me here just to talk about this matter, right?"
After Lu Yao heard what his elder brother said, he came back to his senses and said: "No, it was just a casual chat. Now let's talk about business. Brother, in the court, are there any officials you are familiar with, or in other words, have personal relationships with you?"
Good friend? What I'm saying here is that we have a good relationship with you, not because of our father."
Lu Hao thought for a while and said, "There are quite a few."
"The common people in the city, or this group of candidates who came to Bianliang City to take the imperial examination, there are probably people you are familiar with."
Lu Hao nodded and said, "There are about a dozen people. Why do you ask?"
Lu Yao got up from his chair and walked directly to the manuscripts on the ground. He took out fifty manuscripts and handed them to Lu Hao. He said, "Brother, take a look first. What is written here? You just need to read it."
Just one page is enough, everything else is the same.”
Lu Hao picked up a page of manuscript and read it. The content above was very familiar to him. In the past few days, he had been accompanying his wife Xu in the room and chatted a lot about the bank's business.
After Lu Hao finished reading, he put down the manuscript, looked at Lu Yao, and said, "Are these papers written with content related to the bank?"
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, it is the business of our bank and some loan matters."
"So, when you give me these, do you want me to send this manuscript to my familiar friends or the candidates who come to Bianliang, so that they can come to the bank tomorrow to do business?" Lu Hao is not a fool, although
His political wisdom is not as good as that of Lu Xu, but he still understands such a simple and direct truth.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "That's it. Although real gold is not afraid of fire, this bank business is still a new industry in Bianliang. Everyone is not familiar with it, so the necessary publicity is still
Needed."
"But." Lu Hao thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if you just ask our father to help you promote it?"
Lu Yao shook his head and said: "No, brother, the friends you make have relatively few political factors. As for my father, even if I ask him to help, I can't do it first. I can't ask him for help. Secondly, forget it.
My dad really helped me. Most of the people who will go to the bank tomorrow to patronize me are just going through the motions because of my dad’s reputation, and then they still can’t retain customers, and the bank still can’t operate normally, so I still need you.
It will be better if you find your friends."
When Lu Hao heard what Lu Yao said, he felt that it made sense, and as the eldest son, he also understood Lu Xu's character very well. Just getting him to agree to help Lu Yao would take a lot of words, and in the end he would still have to do it.
It is very likely to end up in a thankless situation.
Lu Hao looked at the manuscript in his hand again and said: "It is not difficult to send out fifty manuscripts. It is not difficult for me to find fifty familiar people and ask them to come to the bank tomorrow to support me. But, how?
How can I make them become regular customers of this bank? If they only come here once tomorrow, I don’t have to look for this person."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, the key is not quantity. Brother, in your current position, it is not a problem to find dozens of friends. However, in order to avoid wasted effort, you still need to work hard on the conditions for choosing a partner.
."
When Lu Hao heard this, he asked, "Tell me, what kind of person am I looking for?"
Lu Yao thought for a while and said: "First of all, those people who failed the imperial examination before and are still looking for jobs in Bianliang City, as well as people familiar with you who will be able to enter the officialdom after the imperial examination, naturally there are not many of these people.
Said: They are in a stage where they are in urgent need of money, and most of these people are well-educated and culturally rich. If you give them the manuscript, it is clearly written on it, plus your relationship with them, I think
They should be able to do business when they arrive at the bank tomorrow."
"That's a good statement. Those who need money the most, plus I've given them a guarantee, shouldn't be a problem." Lu Hao also agreed with Lu Yao's idea.
Lu Yao continued: "Then there are the next group of people, the people in the court who are familiar to you. These officials must be selective. In fact, you can choose those who cannot control a lot of money at home, such as a certain
Some adults put their money in the hands of their wives. These people are in great need of money. However, you should also choose those you are very familiar with. After all, if the money is not available by then, the people in their houses may
They are going to the bank to cause trouble. You show them the manuscript and explain to them the benefits of bank loans. As long as they keep their hats on, they should repay the money regularly. This way, there will be a second batch that can go to the bank tomorrow.
Here are the people who are here to handle business.”
Lu Hao listened to Lu Yao talking about these conditions and began to think about it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I smiled as I thought about whether I had such friends above the court. It seemed that I remembered a few more interesting officials.
Lu Hao said: "Well, these people must choose those who can pay back the money. In this way, there will be almost fifty people."
Lu Yao said: "Well, there is the last kind, that is, very poor people, who are kind to our Lu family, or people who you think will have malleable talents in the future. For people like this, you can give them manuscripts
Offer to lower some interest rates or extend the repayment period, and then give me their list, and I will find my own way to help them as much as possible. In this way, when we encounter any difficulties in the future, they will also help us."
"Don't underestimate the people around you at all times, and don't forget to give some grace and help to those who are in difficult times, because you never know when they will give you unexpected surprises." Lu Hao said thoughtfully.
"This is the first day I entered the court. My father told me before going to court. Don't worry, I know what kind of people need help the most."
Lu Yao said: "Well, brother, you can give them manuscripts according to the three types of people I just mentioned. In this way, at least the bank will not look too deserted tomorrow."
Lu Hao nodded. He also knew that it was too late. It seemed that he only had one afternoon. He packed up, picked up the fifty manuscripts and left the Lu Mansion.
When he was at the door, Lu Hao saw many strangers arriving at the door of Lu Mansion. Lu Hao had some impressions of some of them. Then he saw Tang Xi walking out of the house, and then he remembered that these people should be the same people who had been with him before.
He was crossing Tangxi, so he left without asking any questions.
On the Tangxi side, he was quite touched when he saw brothers coming one after another. He originally thought that there would be some people who were already used to it because the treatment given by the previous factory was already very high.
I didn't choose to live there and didn't choose to come here. Now it seems that I thought too much, and my brothers still gave me a lot of face.
"Old Tangxi..." When everyone saw Tangxi coming out, they were about to say hello, but then there was a murmur from below, and then they said in unison, "Steward Tangxi, we have been ordered to come here, and we will make arrangements after listening."
Tangxi saw that the brothers who had been wandering with her in the outer city were now acting like a different person, and she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart. On the other hand, she was dumbfounded by their sudden seriousness. Tangxi smiled and said: "Okay.
Okay, I don’t know you yet, so don’t pretend to be serious in front of me.”
After saying this, the brothers in Tangxi immediately relaxed. They originally thought that the boss of Tangxi had now become the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, and he would not be allowed to show his official power to them. Now it seems that Tangxi is still the same person as before.
Tangxi.
"Boss, did you call us here for something important? We all left the factory and ended up here."
Tangxi nodded and said: "It was actually not my idea to call you here today, but Mr. Lu Yao himself said that there is something important for you to do. As for what it is, Mr. Lu Yao will tell you personally later.
"
Everyone was very surprised. They couldn't believe that Lu Yao would personally tell them to do things later. Tangxi then said: "As for the future arrangements, you don't have to worry. Mr. Lu Yao has already arranged them for you. When the time comes,
Basically, everyone will go to banks, wine shops, food streets and hot pot restaurants in the outer city to do things. As for the treatment, it is what I said when I found you earlier today, and it will definitely not be better than that.
Your current salary is lower, and I don’t think I need to explain the benefits of working with Mr. Lu Yao. You will know it just by looking at me."
In fact, these brothers from Tangxi were not very familiar with Lu Yao. In the beginning, they just went wherever Tangxi went. From the beginning, they served as bodyguards for Lu Yao. Later, they also took over Tangxi one by one.
They were sent to work in different factories. In their opinion, the relationship between Tangxi and them was naturally better. Therefore, they all believed in what the boss of Tangxi said. At the very least, Lu Yao asked them to work in the outer city area.
The life of not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes has turned into being able to go to Jiuzhongxian for a good meal every month.
Therefore, after hearing what Tang Xi said now, Lu Yao would take care of their food, accommodation and future work, there was nothing to worry about on his side. They all expressed their opinions to Tang Xi, saying that they would try their best to complete what Lu Yao told them.
Tangxi saw that the time was almost up, so he went to the mansion to invite Lu Yao. The person who knew his brothers best was naturally Tangxi. He knew that if he didn't say anything and let Lu Yao directly arrange it, his group would be in trouble.
Brothers may do it for their own sake, but it is not certain whether they will do it with heart. Therefore, before Lu Yao sees them, he must give them reassurance and ensure that they will do it in a while.
Work efficiency. Of course, this is also what Tangxi, as Lu Yao’s housekeeper, must do.
"Sir, I've already told them all, now is the time for you to go out." Tangxi walked to the main hall and said to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao nodded and asked people to move all the manuscripts placed in the main hall outside.
"It seems that you have done a good job." As soon as Lu Yao went out, he saw the expressions of the people standing outside the Lu Mansion, and turned to Tangxi and said.
"Young Master must have thought carefully and arranged everything properly, otherwise they would still have some doubts in their hearts." Tang Xi said as he stepped aside.
Lu Yao looked at the brothers under Tang Xi. In fact, he hadn't seen them for a while. Some of them still had memories of them, while others seemed to be the first time Lu Yao saw them.
"I called everyone here today because I have an important thing for you to do." Lu Yao didn't want to waste any more words. Tangxi had already explained the other things. It was important to get these people to work quickly, so
Lu Yao got straight to the point and talked about his work content.
Lu Yao pointed to the pile of manuscripts that were taken out and said: "For a while, you all distribute it evenly. There are four hundred and fifty manuscripts in here. Of course, the content on each one is the same. I want you to
What you have to do is also very simple. You will go to the inner city, outer city, or any other place in Bianliang City in a while and distribute these manuscripts to those who need them!"
