Chapter 179: Concubine Storm (4)
After Zhou Feng returned home, he locked himself in the house, not thinking about food and food, and didn't know what he was doing. Lin Chunhong pushed the door and bolted it.
"Hideyoshi, open the door!"
"No opening!" Zhou Feng's cry came from inside. After a while, the door creaked and Hideyoshi stood at the door with a bitter face.
"You go out!" Lin Chunhong ordered Hideyoshi and slowly walked behind Zhou Feng. Lin Chunhong's face was printed on the glass mirror in front of Zhou Feng.
"Xiao Feng'er, do you object to me to welcome Cui Yu'er into the door?" Lin Chunhong dragged a chair, sat next to Zhou Feng, and asked.
Zhou Feng's eyes did not squint, stared at the dressing table in a daze, and did not speak.
When Lin Chunhong saw that Zhou Feng was not talking, he seemed to say to Zhou Feng, and he also said to himself: "My father-in-law is old and should enjoy the peace and happiness. I am ready..." At this point, Lin Chunhong deliberately paused and stared at Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng stood up quickly, stared at the almond eyes widened, and asked loudly: "Are you really going to remove your father's position as a magistrate?"
Lin Chunhong pressed Zhou Feng down and sat down, saying, "Can I decide whether to withdraw or not?"
Zhou Feng said angrily: "Don't make excuses! You are holding the Pavilion Guard as a shield again. Those people listen to you, don't I know?"
Lin Chunhong said: "There is no way to decide whether the lord is to decide whether his father-in-law will stay or not is Bangtai's future!"
The turn was a bit big, and Zhou Feng couldn't understand it for a moment and stared at Lin Chunhong in a daze.
"I have a rule in my mind when doing things, which is the interests of Bangtai. If my father-in-law continues to serve as the envoy of the Pavilion, it will be beneficial to Bangtai's development. Even if everyone opposes it, I will let my father-in-law continue to stay! If there is an obstacle to Bangtai's development, even if everyone supports it, I will still remove it!"
"Why now my father continues to serve as the envoy of the Pavilion, is it beneficial or hindering to Bangtai?"
"It is not yet certain that the report from the Supervision Office has not been sent here yet! So, no matter how you interfere with Bangtai's affairs, it will not change at all!"
Zhou Feng remained silent and continued to sit in a daze in the mirror.
Lin Chunhong was sure that even if Zhou Feng couldn't accept his point of view now, he would slowly figure it out. So he stopped entangling Zhou Wangyou and stayed, and was ready to throw out the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Xiao Feng'er, do you still want to continue managing the warehouse?"
Zhou Feng's heart moved slightly, nodded, and then shook his head and said, "With Xiaoyuer, how can I have time to go to the warehouse? Also, my mother gave me all the family affairs last year, and I have no time."
"How much time can you spend with just thirty or forty people? You are still regarded as a serious matter and let your mother take care of it for a while. As for Xiaoyuer, you can just spend more time with you after work. Do you need to hold it in your hands every day?"
Zhou Feng pondered: "It's too small to manage a warehouse. I have too much control. I don't have time, this..."
Lin Chunhong laughed in his heart, knowing that Zhou Feng had the intention of comparing with Cui Yuer. "For you, it is too unchallenging to manage the goods warehouse. I want you to do something very new."
"What's up?"
"Open a new business, Sany Club!"
"Sany Society? Such a weird name? What are you doing? Compete for business with Bangtai Business?"
Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "The word "San1" has evolved from Confucius' "San1" in the "Three Farmings and Three" in the Yangtze River. For example, there is a boat on the Yangtze River. This boat is facing the threat of robbers, storm and wind and waves. Maybe one day it will be disaster, and the ship owner will suffer a great loss? If the ship owner pays a silver liang to Sany Club regularly every year, and after the disaster, Sany Club will compensate him a large amount of money, then will the ship owner feel very at ease?"
Zhou Feng exclaimed: "What you are talking about is a loss-making business. What am I going to do?"
"Where will you lose money? Think about it, if there are a thousand ships on the Yangtze River and ten ships that are affected every year, if each ship that is affected needs to compensate 10,000 taels of silver, then you need to compensate 100,000 taels of silver. If Sany Society is not allowed to lose, how much money will each ship be charged every year?"
"One hundred taels."
"Yes, for the ship owner, isn't one hundred taels a year not a big deal? But just one hundred taels can guarantee safety within a year. Think about it, aren't those ship owners flocking to it?"
Zhou Feng reacted quickly and immediately said, "If I decided to collect 200 taels per boat every year, then it would be a net profit of 100,000 taels! Wow, this business is easy to do... No, no, how did I know that only ten ships are affected by disasters every year? If 100 ships are affected by disasters a year, wouldn't I be devastated?"
"Haha, when you go to Guo Mingyan to check, you will see how many ships are affected by disasters every year, and you will know in your heart? Generally speaking, this data does not change much every year. Based on this ratio, if you calculate how much each ship will collect, you will make sure you make a profit and you will not lose money!"
Zhou Feng jumped up happily, jumped into Lin Chunhong's arms, and put his hands on Lin Chunhong's neck: "Third brother, you pay for the money. I will go to open Sany Club, so you will definitely have endless money to spend every day!"
"Hehe, I'm talking simpler. The real situation is far more complicated than this. A strict constitution is required. Otherwise, when Cui Yuer comes in, I'll ask her to help you?"
"Sister Cui helps me, what should I do if the Military Intelligence Department?"
Zhou Feng's voice from Sister Cui made Lin Chunhong happy. He smiled and said, "There are too many secret matters in the Military Information Department. Cui Yu'er is not suitable. Let her come to help you!"
Zhou Feng pondered: "Sister Cui and I are both busy with things, who will take care of you? Why don't you call Lian Niang and Xiao He back to serve you."
Zhou Feng was dancing with eyebrows and couldn't help but take out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write and draw.
Lin Chunhong looked at Zhou Feng’s impatient look and sighed: Woman, you must not let her be idle, you can cause trouble if you are idle!
※※※※※※※※※
The drizzle of lips kept falling, and the trees and grass were thirsty all winter, and when they were full of water, they looked particularly green and tender and energetic.
Lin Chunhong stood in the corridor, looking at the fine raindrops, and thoughts were endless. After the battle of Rongmei, he thought it would be easier, but unexpectedly, the smoke of wars spread everywhere at home, which consumed a lot of his energy.
The day before yesterday, the Supervision Office promoted the government to handle a tax evasion case. The defendant in the case was Zhang Mingqiao. Zhang Mingqiao relied on Zhang Daohan's power to avoid the management fees of the warehouse by various means, with an amount of more than 7,000 taels of silver. In the end, the Supervision Office ruled that Zhang Mingqiao had been hard-working for half a year, paid all the debts, and fined 5,000 taels of silver. By the way, a group of employees who were captured by Zhang Daohan's power were punished, both severely and lightly, and the wide range of involvement was called the first case of Bangtai.
The handling of this case was also full of twists and turns. After Zhang Mingqiao learned that the Supervision Office was investigating the case, he instructed the warehouse employee to go to Jingzhou Prefecture to file a lawsuit. After the Jingzhou Prefecture Promoter received the case, he ordered Zhang Mingqiao to pay the debt in accordance with the Ming Dynasty law.
After learning about this, Lin Chunhong was furious and did not hesitate to break the tacit understanding with the local government and insisted on ordering the Supervisory Office to retrieve the case. Originally, in order to avoid conflicts with the local government, Bangtai generally refused to accept cases that had been filed with the government, and the local government also tactfully refused to accept cases that had been filed with the Supervisory Office. This was a tacit understanding formed after many collisions.
The reason why Lin Chunhong ignored this was mainly to hit Zhang Daohan.
After the results of the case were announced, Bangtai was shocked internally, and some employees who had exploited Bangtai's management loopholes or were preparing to use their power for personal gains were restrained.
In just a few months, Lin Chunhong comforted Zhou Feng, stimulated Zhou Wang's enthusiasm for work, eliminated Zhu Zhiyu's doubts, and hit Zhang Daohan. Fortunately, the backyard is stable now, and the dispute between the civil and military within Bangtai has come to an end, which makes Lin Chunhong feel unprecedentedly relaxed.
What's more, Cui Yu'er will be entering the door at the same time in five days. When Lin Chunhong thought of Cui Yu'er's beauty, he felt a fever.
On the ninth day of the fourth month, it is advisable to get married. Cui Yuer will arrange for this day when entering the door. There are many guests in the Lin Mansion, and the guests are full of joy. At the hour of You, Cui Yuer took a sedan chair and entered the main hall of the Lin Mansion from the back door to salute the eldest wife Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng hummed and received the gift. After Cui Yu'er entered the bridal chamber, he immediately asked someone to call Cui Yu'er to the east wing. The two of them whispered in the room, and no one knew what they were saying.
After Lin Chunhong dealt with the guests, he was drunk and stumbled towards the west wing room. As a result, he entered the west wing courtyard and found that Cui Yuer's room was dark.
Lin Chunhong was shocked and woke up halfway. He called to ask around and asked, but only then did he know that Zhou Feng had called Cui Yu'er away.
Zhou Feng is really in full swing this time. Don’t you know that today is Cui Yuer’s happy day?
Just as she was sighing, Xiuji sent a note. Lin Chunhong took it and read it, and wrote, "Yu'er will be my return tonight!" Lin Chunhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, turned around and headed towards Zhou Feng's room.
