Chapter 207 The Station

"Siwazi is really true. Even if Lord Duan and Huang Jingshi brought him to Jiangning, he would have to deal with him. It was time to spend money, so he asked someone to bring us a hundred taels! Besides, he had already found a way to make a fortune for us. In-laws, I can't ask for this hundred taels, so you should give it to Qin'er."

As the saying goes, the fat and water will not flow out of the outside world. Han Xiufeng did not even tell Pan Er about the matter of joining hands with Manager Yu to do side tea. After Duan Jiqing received the letter last time, he asked Guan Guan, whether the clerks and yamen runners who worked in the yamen would like to invest together.

Manager Yu had already cursed the salt tea ceremony. How could the clerks and yamen runners who worked in the yamen know that this transaction could make money? Liu Guangren was arranged by the government office, Duan Jiqing personally arranged by the county office, and the chief guard of the county office, and hundreds of clerks and yamen runners gathered together to 4,000 taels.

In addition, Duan Jiqing bought 1,000 taels, Mr. Gu’s 2,000 taels, Yang Caizhu’s 2,000 taels, and Han Xiufeng invested in the capital, and Ba County’s 1,000 taels in total!

There is a way to sell tea, and there are so many clerks and yamen runners who are watching the supply of goods.

In the past two months, with the help of these clerks and yamen runners, Manager Yu has agreed with the tea gardens under Chongqing Prefecture and the entire Dongchuan Road that even if the tea merchants in Shanxi and Anhui are sufficient, they should not expect to acquire tea in Dongchuan Road.

Anyway, there will be dividends in the coming year.

However, Duan Jiqing didn't want to say this in front of Jiang Liu, the husband of Chuan Gang, and looked up and smiled: "One code is converted into one code. This is Zhixing's intention. Besides, it is not for you alone. If you don't accept Zhixing, you will be unhappy."

"He brought all the money back, what should he do?" Captain Guan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he still has some silver on him." Duan Jiqing picked up a purse from the incense table and looked at Jiang Liu smiled and said, "This is what Mr. Hu told to send to the eighth master. Unexpectedly, although his mind was not good, he still had some filial piety. He sent back all the wages he had worked in the guild for a year and the rewards he gave to him by the officials. He collected a total of twenty-seven taels and eight cents. You should keep it."

Jiang Liu grinned and said, "Mr. Duan, Datou has always been very filial."

"You have to be filial to him. Logically speaking, this money should be handed over to the Eighth Master, but Zhuzi said that the Eighth Master is not very good at doing, and he becomes more confused as he gets older. As he is, the Eighth Master will only rely on you to support him and see him to the end."

"Please rest assured by Mr. Duan. Please help me and Mr. Han when replying, and tell me and Datou that I will serve Master Eighth Master like serving my own father, and give him the elderly and see him off."

"Okay, I know you are a loyal person, and I'll feel relieved if you say this."

"Then I'll go back first?"

"Go back."

...

As soon as Jiang Liu left, Guan Guan couldn't help asking: "In-laws, did Siwazi say when will Qin'er take his baby to reunite with him?"

Duan Jiqing was worried when he mentioned this matter. He subconsciously looked at his daughter sitting in the corner and said solemnly: "Zhixing said in the letter that he wanted Qin'er and her kids, but now there is a banditry in Huguang. It is said that the bandits in Taiping not only besieged Changsha, Hunan Province, but also swept Hubei. The waterways must not be taken. If you take a dry road, you have to go over the Qinling Mountains and detour to Shaanxi and Shanxi, but Anhui and Henan are also causing banditry, so the matter of reunion must be discussed for a long time."

Han Xiufeng finally made up for the gap. Qin'er was both happy and uncomfortable. She couldn't help but stand up and walked over to hug the child, and said choked: "Dad, Uncle Guan, I'm fine. Goudan and I don't go anywhere, just stay at home and wait for him."

"It's because my dad doesn't let you take your baby, my dad is worried."

"I know, I can't make you and your mother worried, nor can I make my fourth brother worry, nor can I make my fourth brother worry about my child."

"Yes." Duan Jiqing sighed lightly and quickly changed the topic: "The guild hall was not good before, and the officials and men in Beijing were unwilling to go there, and they didn't move around each other. Zhixing renovated the guild hall. Master Ji, Master Ao and Mr. He went to the guild hall every few days to discuss and have a banquet for guests. They moved more and more with each other, and their hometown friendship was stronger than before. So whenever someone returned home, they would ask if they wanted to send a message to their home.

In addition, we are here in Ba County. Whether the letter was sent by someone or by Rishengchang, as long as the letter is sent to me in Ba County, we will ask someone to send the letters to my hometown one by one. In short, there are more letters from fellow villagers in Beijing than before. Mr. Hu sent seven more letters this time. People can trust us, so we can't think it's troublesome."

After hearing Duan Jiqing's statement, Guan Guan suddenly discovered that although Han Si no longer served as the chief official of Chongqing Guild Hall, it gradually became a "transfer station" for officials in Beijing to send letters to their hometowns by the 14 prefectures and counties under Chongqing Prefecture. After all, Chongqing Prefecture is too big, and only by sending the letters here first, Duan Jiqing could ask the runners of the government office to help them deliver the letters to their families one by one. The families of those officials and men wanted to send letters to Beijing, and now they are all delivered to them first.

Thinking that helping to send a message can curry favor with the old men who can't be favored on weekdays, it is also a good thing for Siwazi who is far away in Jiangsu. Headmaster Guan smiled and said, "This is, people can trust us and look down on us. We can't think it's troublesome. As long as there is a letter, we must help deliver it."

How could Liu Guangren, who was working in the Dao Administration, not know how important this matter is to Han Si. He pondered: "Old Duan, hasn't Director Zhang from Sichuan Guild also invested in the same stock as us? You can send a letter to Director Zhang when you look back. In the future, we can not only help our men in Chongqing Prefecture in Beijing to bring their hometowns, but also from Sichuan East Road."

"Can you help bring it there?"

"Your government office has many official documents, and our bureau office has a lot of official documents. The people in Chengfafang have all invested in the shares. It is not a matter of one word to ask them to help send a few letters!"

"It's true, why didn't I expect this favor?"

"It's not too late to think about it now. As the saying goes, "A family letter is worth a thousand yuan. It's not easy for others to send a letter to you. It's really a big deal for us. As long as we help others, it's impossible for others to not be so kind. As long as we can support you, we will definitely support you. We will naturally benefit from your career smoothly."

"This is reasonable, hahaha."

...

Seeing Qin'er holding her baby to the room, Guan Guan remembered something again and couldn't help but say: "In-law, you said just now that Censor Huang also wrote a letter for Siwazi. I remember Censor Huang seemed to be the nephew of the customer director of the Fujian Association."

"You mean Ren He's son, right?"

"Um."

When Duan Jiqing mentioned this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are busy collecting land in the sky these days, and I don't know a lot of things. Ren He's son can't climb up the high branches and can't become the son-in-law of the customer chief of the Fujian Association! People say they regret the marriage, but his son doesn't even dare to let go of his fart!"

"Repent to the marriage?"
