Chapter 221: Silver Circle Opens the Way

"Why don't I agree, are you stupid to me? This thing is now sold for three thousand taels, and that's it, I still owe people no money. Old money, can I pay five hundred taels of silver first? When Grandpa Xu said something, Chen Xie laughed when he heard it, and the thing looked at Chen Xie and shrunk his neck in fear. I have a deep resentment towards Chen Xie in my heart, but I am really afraid of this guy. He has a lot of brothers, and if things are messed up, the old man will only look down on him and not say anything, and a good source of money is gone.

Grandpa Xu reluctantly left, and when he came to this place, he didn't even leave a sip of wine, which was really fucked up. But he had to go back and report, the specific things still need to be further determined, and without the old man's nod, he really can't call the shots.

Sending off the little grandfather and returning to the front of the hall, Qian Duo saw Chen Xie sitting on his back with his eyes closed, Zheng Toniang standing behind him, pinching his shoulder, the expression on his face was gentle like water. Seeing this scene at this time, the awe of Chen Xie in the heart of the little money became heavier. Over the years, he has made a fortune behind Chen Xie, and Lao Qian's status in front of these noble families in Nanjing has also risen. Today's incident seems to be very risky, but in fact, if you think about it, it is still very necessary. Silver, who doesn't like it? The water in Nanjing was too deep, and the Wei family was just the first target of negotiations. If you can't show enough toughness and a little weakness, you will be pounced on by countless red-eyed wolves, and there will be no bones left to gnaw.

There wasn't much money and he didn't even dare to take a breath, so he stood aside cautiously, waiting for Chen Xie's next words.

"Old Qian, Nanjing's affairs. You will be responsible for it from now on. Don't go back to Dengzhou, the matter of Qianzhuang is too important, I will give you half of the dry shares. Chen Xie finally opened his eyes, he didn't have much money and was ecstatic in his heart, but his face didn't show anything on his face.

"Sihua, I'm still a little worried, Old Man Xu's side may not be so easy to talk to." Qian didn't have to remind him, Chen Xie nodded and said, "This old fox, fight with him." It's more tiring than going to the battlefield to kill Jiannu. Not to be expected. At this time, there were many people in his family waiting for the news that the little grandfather brought back. If I show a little weakness, in the future, the five million silver yuan of this Nanjing branch and the annual profit, they will dare to swallow it all for me. ”

Sihua has a point. That's all these people have to say. What's next? "Not much money, further instructions. Chen Xie said lightly: "Guarding the eunuch's side, take this letter with you, you can go for a trip." Xungui's side. Will reach out to you tomorrow. With such a big deal, they will not be willing to give up. In the officialdom, I will fight. Chen Xie took out a letter and handed it not much money.

"What price should I ask for the eunuch?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this letter was written by Cao Huachun. With this letter, he won't go too far, and give him 5,000 silver yuan a year. ”

The money is not much, and he calculated the account in his heart, and then said: "All aspects must be counted, so that the annual expenditure on these relationships will not be less than 50,000 silver yuan." The profits of the money bank are thin. ”

Chen Xie smiled and said: "Old Qian, you still have shortcomings and knowledge." The annual cost of 50,000 silver yuan seems like a lot. As long as these silver yuan can circulate like silver in the city of Nanjing, it is worth spending another 50,000 silver yuan. You should think like this, in the future, the merchants of the entire Ming Dynasty will trust and are willing to use silver yuan, and are willing to deposit the silver in the bank, and take away the silver yuan. ”

When others say this, they will definitely not be convinced if they don't have much money, but Chen Xie said this, and he admitted it. Every year, it costs 50,000 silver yuan to dot up and down, and Liu Ru, the audience upstairs, was secretly surprised. This brother-in-law Chen, how to play this set is also so skilled, in the past, Liu Ruyi's opinion is "must not be a good person". Now, I've been fooled, the concept of right and wrong is a little vague, and the idea is naturally to become a big thing and be informal. Later historians, because of Chen Yinke, had a lot of respect for Liu Ru. In fact, Liu Ru at this time is just a little girl. More than ten years later, less than 30 years old, how high can the knowledge be? Qian Muzhai refused to throw herself into the water and martyred her country, didn't she also survive?

Later generations were greatly influenced by the drama "Peach Blossom Fan", but they ignored history itself. It's like knowing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" but not knowing that there is "Three Kingdoms". Reading "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" carefully, it is not difficult to find that few "righteous people" adhere to discipline. On the contrary, it was the traitor Ma Shiying who insisted on the bottom limit and discipline of a traditional literati. What is ridiculous is that the literati of Donglin, while admitting that Ma Shiying's death is the history of the country, on the other hand, compiling wild histories to slander and frame him with the stain of surrender.

It's a bit far, all in all, a little girl, who grew up in a fireworks field, it's not too easy to deceive her.

In the next few days, Chen Xie went out early and returned late every day, and made a lot of silver yuan, and the Nanjing officialdom worshipped it again. Chen Xie's reputation as the God of Wealth is confirmed, and the romantic story of Chen Caishen's possession of the thorny rose on the Qinhuai River, Zheng Tuoniang, has also spread throughout Nanjing. Even Liu Ru was involved, and some sour literati couldn't help but guess that Chen had a joke about overturning two golden flowers with one shot.

Nanjing's officialdom is no better than Beijing, and it is all about some political frustration and being sent to support the elderly. The so-called six departments in Nanjing are full of some officialdom and broken settlements. Chen Xie's reputation has always been good, and there are a lot of people who expect him to get rich, and he has a silver yuan to open the way, so he naturally receives rave reviews.

After a period of time, the news of the affairs in Nanjing reached Beijing, and the fact that Chen Zongbing did not do his job properly and went to Nanjing to raise famous prostitutes under the banner of "sitting in prison" reached Chongzhen. As a result, Comrade Zhu Youzhen just smiled slightly and said: "Good goods, lustful, sexual!" "If Chen Xie doesn't have any problems at all, Chongzhen is really not at ease. Chongzhen, who is suspicious by nature, is now confident in Chen Xie's loyalty, so naturally he doesn't take this matter seriously. Fishing for silver with one hand, holding a beauty with the other, and daring to play with his life on the battlefield, isn't this a model of a military general? Not to mention, Chen Xie is still the prisoner of the imperial gift, and it is normal to be merry and happy.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xie stayed in Nanjing for half a month, and his main befriending targets were officialdom, and Shilin had no contact.

In half a month, the big house next door should be opened, the number of people who need to be covered has come, and the number of people who have come to work has come one after another, and there have been special personnel for short-term training, and the hardware that a newspaper should have has basically come out. In terms of software, it is miserable, professional layout designers should not think about it, Chen Xie imitated the relatively old layout of YM Daily to draw a sketch, and prepared a layer of unchanged first for 50 years.

Zheng Toniang naturally closed her door and learned from Chen Xie, a guy who only knew fur. What is a headline, what is a newspaper eye, what is a layout, and so on. What's worse is that Chen Xie made a sketch before he remembered that Nima in the Ming Dynasty was written vertically, and reading came from right to left. I had to revise it again, anyway, it was a very simple issue number, and this was also a new thing in the Ming Dynasty, and no one could expose the essence of his layman.

All in all, Chen Xie has not been as intoxicated by gentleness as the outside world imagined in the past half a month. During the day, I have to go to the loser, do a good job in officialdom, and when I come back at night, I have to prepare a newspaper. Only he knows what this thing looks like, and the specific operation process has to be formulated and perfected step by step. Chen Xie's style of doing things is like this, no matter what you do, first straighten out the procedure, and then formulate a process, and then follow it in the future.

Because she is busy, Chen Xie doesn't have much time to be gentle with Zheng Tuoniang, this woman is also a person who likes to do things, and she has been studying very seriously, and her enthusiasm is much higher than Chen Xie's. It's so much fun to run a newspaper, it's much more interesting than sending it every day. Thinking that in the future, my words can be printed and shown to the people of the whole city of Nanjing, and the enthusiasm in my heart cannot be weakened.

There is also a willow like this, who has been like a fart lately. During the day, I was tired of being with Zheng Tuoniang, learning and communicating with each other, and at night I followed Chen Xie to see him busy with this and that, and give him something to do. If it weren't for the encounter with Chen Xie, she would have been in Songjiang Mansion.

In the house that Chen Xie bought, it was late at night, and Chen Xie, who was in front of the candlelight, finally dropped the carbon pen in his hand, rubbed his wrist and said: "That's almost it, in the future, I will follow this process to run a newspaper." Everyone has their own job, and that's pretty much it. Next, it's up to the editing configuration, which is a bit of a headache. ”

Liu Ru brought fragrant tea, put down the cup and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, sister, there are many literati in this Nanjing city, isn't it easy to find some people to come up with some manuscripts?" Zheng Toniang also nodded yes, Chen Xie shook his head and said: "No, my newspaper is very different from Di Bao, and I don't plan to use formal questions to write a manuscript." How to put it, it is some big vernacular, and ordinary people can understand it. You say, how can those literati and celebrities be willing to enter the hub? ”

Zheng Toniang walked behind her, gently pinched her shoulder and said, "Isn't there a third edition, which is dedicated to the layout of poetry articles?" ”

Chen Xie sighed: "The inaugural issue must not be able to count on local literati, so I can only wait for the next issue." In this way, the two of you are responsible for writing some poems, and I will make two more poems, enlarge the words a little bit, and put together half a page. The remaining half of the page is a call for papers. The content of the first edition is directly copied from the newspaper, well, I'll make it into the vernacular. For the fourth edition, I'm going to do a long serialization, and I'll write it myself. ”

"Ah, does my brother-in-law still write a script? It's like a surprise or something? Liu Ru exclaimed, at first glance, she liked to read the script. Chen Xie had been prepared for this matter, stood up and walked to the bookshelf, picked up a thick envelope and looked at the words on it, picked out a book, handed it to Liu Ru and said, "Look at how this is, the game work of the past few years." ”

How to catch the readers of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie can be described as painstaking. There are countless modern online novels, and there are no ones that can get the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
