The local drought in Luzhou did not reach the point of no harvest, so the famine was not serious, and the local grain shops in Luzhou began to produce grain at a low price since the beginning of the lunar month, and the government notice said that the grain in the official warehouse was sufficient, so Luzhou City did not cause a large-scale famine like some state capitals in the Great Song Dynasty.

If there is anything different, that is, the beggars in Luzhou City have increased, and many people who have famine in other places have wandered here, although the government has driven them away, but the people's compassion is still there, and they will always secretly stuff some steamed rice to send these people to continue to wander.

For a long time, Su Ji grain shop has been open normally, except for the purchase of grain, the price has always been parity; The people are not stupid, they can see that Su Ji Grain Shop is simply losing money and making money, Su Ji has a good reputation, so it has a better reputation.

Taking this opportunity, Su Ji took advantage of the situation and basically monopolized the high-end garment market in Luzhou, making up for the losses outside the embankment, and making up for the annual profit of nearly 14,000 yuan; In previous years, these profits were obviously not the highest, but this year, it is already a miracle.

That night, Hefeng Lou had a feast, and all the shopkeepers of Su Ji gathered here, and everyone was in a blue satin cotton robe and overalls, and the chest was still pinned with polished shiny, and the badge of Su Ji's name and his own name and position was ironed, all of them held their heads high.

Guys are qualified to be proud, now in Luzhou City, Su Ji's reputation has surpassed the reputation of all businesses, here is good treatment, high welfare, two sets of clothes in autumn and winter, even the little guys can take a car to and fro when they go out to do errands, what is even more eye-catching is that it is said that Su Ji's guys are on top of a share of different sizes, and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year, which simply makes the eyes of the guys of other businesses become blood-red.

But it's useless to be red-eyed, in addition to secretly being hostile and swearing, the owner of his own family has no courage, or he is reluctant to learn from Su Ji to give the guys a share of the shares, and the guys of other businesses can only scold their own owners behind their backs for stinginess, but there is no other way.

There are also brain-active trust relationships who want to jump to Su Ji, but Su Ji is now very strict with the control of people, not only to have real skills, it is said that they also have to investigate the history of the three generations of their ancestors, but all those who have bad deeds will not have the opportunity to enter Su Ji, which is called "political trial".

More than ten tables of high-class banquets were placed like water, and Su Jin, the big proprietor of the Su family, did not set up a banquet in the box and sat alone in the box, but sat with the shopkeepers of each shop at the first seat in the hall, looking at everyone with a smile.

After the wine and food were served, Zhang Rongqin got up and slapped his slap twice, and the noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes looked at each other in unison, waiting for the chief shopkeeper Zhang Rongqin to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Su Ji, today is a happy day, our Su Ji Dadong family returned to his hometown, after half a year, the Dadong family has become the imperial court's special envoy for grain affairs, and led the army to exterminate the bandits in Bagong Mountain, and also saved hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou City, with immeasurable merit! As a member of Su Ji, we should be very proud, the big boss has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and the day of flying yellow is just around the corner, we first want to wish the big boss step by step, and in the future he will become the ruler of the two mansions to rule the world, and come to the first glass of wine to pay tribute to the big boss. ”

Zhang Rongqin raised his glass and turned to Su Jin, and Su Ji and everyone got up and raised their glasses, and said in unison: "I wish the big boss to rise step by step and dominate the world." ”

Su Jin got up with a smile, raised his glass, and drank it all with his neck tilted.

Zhang Rongqin said: "Please sit down, and you will also take a seat; Fill the second glass of wine, and this second glass of wine we have to toast ourselves; After half a year of hard work, your efforts have not been in vain, our Su Ji has been famous in Luzhou City, you should be able to see that our Su Ji guys go out, and we are greeted with envious eyes, this is not only that Su Ji's salary is higher than others, and the treatment of people is better than other businesses, but also because Su Ji follows the big boss in business. Yi Xin Li's shop motto, half a year has won the respect and reputation of the people, half a year Su Ji is thriving, can be described as fame and fortune, this is all the concerted efforts of everyone, so this second glass of wine we did it ourselves! ”

The crowd shouted, "Yes, it's done!" Let's do it ourselves. ”

The wine glasses jingled, everyone clinked glasses with each other, Su Jin also raised his glass and touched the shopkeepers, raised his neck and drank it; The big proprietor drank up, and there was a sudden sound of chirping and absorbing the wine, as if dozens of birds were running in the hall.

Zhang Rongqin said with a smile: "There is a big thing for us to do in Su Ji next, but this matter must be done by the big owner, everyone is welcome to say a few words to us, okay?" ”

The applause of the guys was thunderous, crackling and crackling, Su Jin got up and left his seat with a smile on his face, picked up a glass of wine and came to the aisle between the banquets, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop applauding.

When the applause stopped, he said with a smile: "Fellow Su Ji, I am very happy today, and it can be said that I have never been so happy today; Su Ji can have today, all depends on your hard work, Su Jin has nothing to repay, can only use his meager efforts, so that everyone can live a more decent life, the New Year is approaching, Su Jin wishes you family and things in advance more than every year. ”

Everyone shouted: "The big boss is so polite, and I will have a good day thanks to the big boss." ”

"Follow the big boss, our good life will last a long time......"

“……”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Just now, Mr. Zhang gave two glasses of wine, according to common sense, it should be three glasses of toast, and this third glass of wine will be made up for Mr. Zhang's shopkeeper; The third glass of wine, we don't respect heaven and earth, we still respect people! What we want to respect is the folks and elders of Luzhou, if there is no love from them, how can Su Ji have today? Are you right? ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and Zhang Rongqin and others on the chief felt deeply ashamed, although it was the words of the crown, Su Jin could think of the kindness of the people, which was down-to-earth and did not forget the fundamentals; The fact is also the same, the people buy it, Su Ji can prosper, the people don't bird you, no matter how many tricks you have, it's useless.

Su Jin raised his glass and said: "After drinking this third glass of wine, I wish the fathers and villagers of Luzhou a safe and prosperous year in the coming year, and the family is happy and peaceful." ”

There was a chorus of chirping, and the glass was emptied again.

Su Jin put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "The old shopkeeper said that there is a big event to do, and it is a great event, can you guess what a big event?" ”

The guys pondered and meditated, and someone shouted, "Is the big boss going to marry a wife?" ”

Su Jin smiled dumbly and said, "How did you think of this?" ”

The man said, "Didn't the old shopkeeper say that you have to do this matter?" Of course, marrying a wife is for the big proprietor to do it himself, can someone else do it for him? ”

As soon as a sentence came out, everyone laughed, and someone shouted: "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, you kid dare to ridicule the big boss." ”

There are also humanitarians: "Do you have to marry a daughter-in-law?" Can eating and be done for you? ”

Everyone laughed and scolded again.

Su Jin laughed and said, "You think too much, but you don't think of the idea; It is indeed a happy event, but it is not a happy event for me, but a happy event for you; You have cared for your work, and you have forgotten your own great joys. ”

Everyone was stunned, blinked and asked each other, "Our happy event?" What is that? ”

Su Jin smiled bitterly: "That's it, I won't sell Guanzi anymore, do you remember the store rules we ordered in June?" One of them is the one that is closely related to your interests, and the other side is the body stock; Isn't it a great joy that today is the day to redeem it? ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and immediately happily discussed, there are many guys who don't take it seriously in their hearts, how can the owner be so good? It is obviously foolish to return the top body shares, but today the big owner personally said that he was going to cash it out, which is really an unexpected joy.

Su Jin looked back and shouted, "Lift it up!" ”

At the back door of the hall, seven or eight men carried up two big red boxes in a row and placed them in the aisle in the middle of the banquet.

Su Jin walked over, tore off the seal on the box with his own hands, and opened the lid of the box with two clicks.

Su Jin picked up a bag casually, shook it, and heard a crisp sound coming from a stunned sound, this sound is familiar to everyone, it is the sound of the collision of copper coins, like fairy music, which makes people never get tired of hearing it.

The guys are in a commotion, this is going to be real, look at the weight and size of the small cloth bag, the amount of money is not less.

Su Jin nodded to several big shopkeepers and said, "Let's start." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang took out a roster and said with a smile: "According to the size of the shares, as well as the length of the year of entering the Su Ji, one copy per person; There are all your names on the small cloth bag, and when the big proprietor calls a name, you will come up and receive the money. ”

The guys are already happy one by one, I can't imagine it, I can really get the dividend, the big boss is true to his word, but he doesn't just talk and play; The smoke from his ancestral grave can actually bless himself to such a good owner, and this year's grave will have to burn more paper money and kowtow a few more times.
