Chapter 262 The Emperor's Rouge Money

Song Chen was actually very happy. Even if he could make money again, he could not compare to rob. It would come easily and quickly. As the saying goes, if you are forced to work hard, you will be considered an "iron man" in the future.

This is just thinking about it in my mind. After all, it is a time traveler. If you become a pirate after traveling, you may still lose the face of the time traveler and become a shame in this team. Forget it.

"Well, I understand!" After saying that, Song Chen patted Manager Zhou on the shoulder, and then announced a good news to him, a personnel appointment.

Jubaozhai had five industries in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was distributed throughout the country. Now Song Chen said that now he only cared about the three local industries on Fujian Road, and the other two industries must be "independent". Now his direct superior is Xie Guoming, and his activities must be followed by Xie Guoming's command.

The good side of this news is that Jubaozhai is going to be renamed, which is to change it to the "Da Song Coastal Bank", and even the style of the signboard has been created. This means that this "bank" has an official background. To a certain extent, he is the size of the shopkeeper Zhou Da is an official in the Song Dynasty system.

This was officially recognized by Lord Song. He said that this "bank" was just a preliminary plan. If it was operated well, it might be upgraded to "Song Central Bank". He was the president of the Fujian branch. He was officially promoted to a formal official and became a rank-level official in the court.

When the shopkeeper Zhou heard the news, he was so excited that he boldly asked what level of official this was. Lord Song's answer was very sincere, saying that he didn't know, and it must be no less than the fifth rank.

I can't believe what the concept of a fifth-rank official is. He is a high-ranking official who can walk sideways while walking. The storekeeper is an official fan.

To be precise, almost everyone in this era is an official fan. Even those who do not have much interest in being an official will have awe of those who are high-ranking officials. Being an official can be said to be the highest standard of social evaluation today.

No wonder Manager Zhou was so excited.

Song Chen asked a few more questions, such as how many employees there are now Jubaozhai and how many people are willing to continue working, they should be encouraged. If he is not satisfied with anyone, he can remove it.

The high-ranking official gave Manager Zhou a lot of room for action. He replied that there were 21 people in this "branch". After reading out what Lord Song meant, only three of them chose to leave.

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Zhou Da was a little bit gritted and said that although these people were not very important, it was an unjust act to choose to leave at this critical moment. He withheld their salary for a month.

When Song Chen heard this, he said that there was no need to send it, and he should send it as soon as he should. This is the principle. Manager Zhou listened to it and was very happy that he withheld the wages of the three people by himself. It was just a helpless act and a self-protection act. He did not expect that the boss was of such a magnificent person. If he could choose, he would of course be willing to be a good person.

He explained a few more things, gave him some funds for the activities, and asked him to be responsible for taking good inventory of assets and assisted Tian Xiaobao in tracing the Pu family's various industries. His benefits will be indispensable if he does a good job.

Lin'an Court.

The court today is very lively. Yesterday, the court officials also criticized Song Chen's thunder operation in Quanzhou. Even though this operation was actually approved by the emperor, that is, Jia Sidao agreed, they still argued against Song Chen.

The scholars and officials accused Song Chen of being too bloody, hurting the peace and innocence, which was really not worthy. The evidence of the Pu family colluding with enemies was not sufficient. The important evidence, that was those letters, might have been forged. This was his venting his personal anger and attacking his business rivals.

In short, Song Chen was lawless and did not take the imperial court seriously. This was extremely abominable. He should be detained immediately. Some extremes even advocated sending troops to attack Quanzhou immediately and sentenced him to death.

Jia Sidao closed his eyes and rested, as usual, without saying a word. In the end, the more he quarreled, the more fierce he became, and in the end, he even asked to kill Song Chen's whole family.

But everyone knows that this is just a pleasure to talk. Things have happened and will not do anything to Song Chen after all. Besides, I heard that this guy has taken over the Pu family's property.

Moreover, his soldiers were disciplined and made careful arrangements very early. The servants and family members of the Pu family were unable to flee with the money, so the Pu family's industry did not suffer much loss due to the turmoil in the past two days.

It means that this is a piece of fat that has not been gnawed by anyone, and it is completely in Song Chen's hands.

On the second day of the Quanzhou incident, the focus of everyone's debate changed, and the style of painting was completely different. The previous justice turned into a charity full of money.

The core is the question of how to divide the Pu family’s industry. Everyone wants to divide this piece of fat into one.

This time, Song Chen is really unlucky. Everyone has been addicted to verbal attacks before, but this time he is serious.

Although it was said that the scholars and officials wanted to save face after all, and many ministers of great importance spoke, and finally translated it into one sentence, and they all wanted to get a share of the pie.

Many of the speakers were even Song Chen's allies, which made Song Chen unexpected.

Ye Mengding, the Minister of Rites, found out from where he found out that Pu's schoolhouse should be requisitioned by the Ministry of Rites, as a spring examination room or a children's schoolhouse, which can save some funds for the court.

Ma Tingluan, the Minister of Works, declared sovereignty over several iron smelting workshops under the Pu family that were half dead. (Extra: This iron smelting workshop was not like this before. It was quite popular before. Because Song Chen invented the converter steel practice method, it could produce a large amount of cheap steel, the traditional process of iron smelting was fatally impacted)

Jiang Wanli, an important official of the four dynasties, even more so. He knew that the Pujia private army had extraordinary combat effectiveness, so he asked Song Chen to incorporate them. This was a crazy idea in Song Chen's eyes.

Even the military weapon prisoner who was backing us came to join in the fun. The reason for taking a fancy to the Pu family's ship is quite good. They are now studying a new method of transportation that is smaller and faster, that is, taking the sea route, which requires at least fifty ships!

Li Tingzhi, the commander of Lianghuai, although this old fairy Li was not in the court, he was even more cruel, saying that everything was from his coastal department, so no one should rob him.

Li Tingzhi's request was the most excessive. Song Chen's superior never gave him the funds, but also asked to give them to him.

This is all agreed by Song Chen, so I won’t say it. When I see my subordinates making money, I’m jealous and ready to pick peaches directly. I’m intolerable!

You know, these people are all Song Chen's allies, and they are still very hard-core. Even they reached out at this time, let alone those who have no friendship with Song Chen.
