Chapter 574 Anger at the scalpers (two in one)(1/2)
"Is it a human or a ghost?"
Is it easy to scare me when Du Shaoqing is a weak scholar? Look at it and beat me!" Du Shaoqing was probably stunned. He rolled on a donkey, then got up and beat him up as the scalper.
"The boss, it's me, the scalper!
Stop hitting, you will be even more unrecognizable to me..." The scalper couldn't dodge and was beaten again unexplainedly.
Who? Scalper?
Du Shaoqing stopped in surprise, pulled the other party to the door, and looked at it with the faint light in the yard. What a guy, he really looked like a scalper.
"Why are you? What are you doing when you hide behind the door in the middle of the night? Who is on duty in the concierge tonight?"
The scalpers' tears were almost falling: "I just rushed back today and have been waiting for you for a day at home.
I was on duty tonight, but during the day we drank a few of us, and he drank too much, so I promised to sleep on duty in the concierge."
"This guy is so busy all day long, he is so greedy!" Du Shaoqing said angrily, "By the way, why do you have such a virtue? It's like a pig's head?"
The scalper looked at Du Shaoqing with grievance, and his eyes seemed to say, "Didn't this beating you just now?"
"Don't look at me like that, I'm asking about your previous injuries.
This priest came out in the evening and almost threw me to death. We will beat you up!" Du Shaoqing talked about the wrong idea.
The scalper did not dare to talk about the fight during the day, so he lied and said, "It's nothing, I fell accidentally."
Du Shaoqing stopped and understood after thinking about it for a moment, "If you can hide it from it, I'm afraid that only the family members can do it. Is it the eldest lady or the Sanhu and the others?"
The scalper smiled bitterly and said, "The boss just made some misunderstandings with Brother Sanhu and others. It has been clarified and solved, and it is nothing."
"Haha, since you, the miser, say that, I will just ask, go and tie the horses up, and then come to my study."
The scalper was leading the horse to leave, and Du Shaoqing called out again, and asked with a joking expression: "If you feel wronged, I have an idea that you may be able to get the place back on Sanhu and the others. The four of them already have children, so they deliberately show off their envy of Dahu every day, which is very suffocating.
How about I make the decision and let the four of them be your students? You are very business-oriented, and the children can learn some skills with you.
And if you become a teacher, they will not dare to bully you anymore."
ah???
The scalper opened his mouth and recalled the words of the three tigers and brothers in the daytime. If the shopkeeper asked you to be our child's teacher, you would never agree!
I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect that this was verified just at night.
"Dong, Dong family, the young man is just a rough man, and the big one doesn't know a lot. How can you teach and educate people..."
Du Shaoqing laughed and scolded: "You scalper, who said you asked you to teach your children to read and read? If you were learning this, I would be better than you when I found a scholar on the street. I asked you to teach your children to learn business."
"Ah?? That's it..."
"How about it? Consider it?"
Consider it? Is it impossible to consider whether it is good or not? If I agree, won’t Brother Sanhu fight with me? The scalper is talking in his heart.
"No, no, boss, please don't be embarrassed by villains. Our chamber of commerce has countless talents. I will never dare to mislead my children. I will definitely not do it.
If nothing is wrong, please go to the study room first and take a rest. The little one will tie the horse up and come."
The yellow ox walked towards the horse hangar like he was running away, and Du Shao’s refreshing laugh came from behind.
Du Shaoqing had roughly guessed why the scalpers were beaten. Sanhu and his team beat people not because of official business, so they were not under their control. Therefore, they could only be because of private affairs, and related to the scalpers, and they could only be the joke-like teacher last time.
It was already midnight, but in the dim light in the Du family's study, the scalper stood carefully at the lower head, waiting for Du Shaoqing to speak.
He knew that the shopkeeper must have something to do when he was summoned back from the emergency, but he didn't know what the specific reason was. When he was in Fuyu City, Erhu said he didn't know and guessed that it was a face-to-face commendation.
It's been a day or two for scalpers to come out. When the Northeast is short of people, the boss will not change players in the last battle just for a face-to-face reward. He guessed that he made a mistake, but he was not sure.
No matter what, I am still happy to finally return to Chang'an.
"Do you know something happened in the Northeast?" Du Shaoqing said in a deep voice.
"What? No, I just came back from there, but I didn't see any trouble.
Could it be that after I left? What big thing happened to the boss?" the scalper said with concern.
Du Shaoqing stood up from the chair and walked slowly to the scalper, "I gave a private order to reduce the amount of grain transported from the south to the north. Did you do this?"
The scalper knelt on the ground, "Shopkeeper, my subordinate knows that he is wrong. He shouldn't be overrepresented. I..."
"Oh? Exceeding the right to be self-dedicated?
No, no, no, there is a saying that the military orders will not be accepted outside the country. The chamber of commerce is not rigidly following the steps. You are now alone in charge of the chamber of commerce in the entire Northeast. There is nothing wrong with handling matters according to local conditions.
The northeast is far away from Chang'an. If you ask for instructions in everything, you will be delayed and you will not be able to do anything."
Hearing this, the scalper breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it would be fine, it seemed that he had not made any mistakes in other matters.
Just as he was about to stand up, Du Shaoqing spoke: "Kneel down, saying that you are not overestimating your authority, but this does not mean that you have done nothing wrong.
Even if you have full authority to deal with the Northeast Chamber of Commerce issues, our headquarters should have the right to know if it is not in person on major issues, and you should also post a report later, but you have never mentioned a word from beginning to end.
If the leader of the three northern tribes had not been found by someone, pointing at the nose to collect debts from me, I wouldn't have known that you would have caused such a big disaster for me."
"Collection of debt? What kind of debt?
The boss, the youngest, do the internal affairs of our chamber of commerce, and have already settled the debts of the three northern tribes. We don’t owe them a penny.
No matter how bold I am, I will not dare to ruin the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce!" The scalper said unjustly.
Du Shaoqing said with a dark face: "What about the price increase of food that is privately offered?
After you settled the money, you deliberately raised the price of grain and harvested the pension that the other party finally got. Not to mention that this method is inferior and ugly, just talking about this matter itself, you will make a profit of bad money for the people to make money!
From then on, the people of the three northern tribes complained and scolded us Du Family Chamber of Commerce. Do you think there is still a reputation?”
The scalper was scolded very much, but he was still a little dissatisfied and defended in a low voice: "Boss, that's the money we have worked hard to earn. It was all dispersed to the group of barbarians and barbarians. It was so cheap, and the pensions for them were twice as good as those of our Tang soldiers. If this is done, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would not stand it.
Besides, in the winter of the past few years, grain prices have soared, which has been a practice for many years. Due to the time, why are the Hu people of the three tribes not satisfied this year? The Goguryeo people didn’t say anything.”
Hearing the scalper’s rebuttal, Du Shaoqing was so angry that he grabbed a few books on the desk and fell over.
"idiot!
The three tribes of Hu people and the Goguryeo people are now all our people in the Tang Dynasty. The original enemy countries are now all included in the territory of our Tang Dynasty. They are all our people in the Tang Dynasty. They should let go of their past grudges and treat them equally.
How can you keep them out? In this way, the territory that the court finally seized has caused the people to be disloyal. You, you... do we know the big things that have ruined?"
How could this happen? I, I don't know...
The scalper looked innocent, but his expression was more shocked. He never expected that his temporary business actions would be such a great harm, and he finally knew that he was wrong.
After Du Shaoqing scolded him, he gradually calmed down. He knew in his heart that the scalper was still too low in his background, which led to his narrow vision. It was okay to have a clever trick to make some money, but it was a bit difficult for him to consider the strategic direction. What he saw the most was the immediate benefits.
The root of the problem is that the wrong person was used this time, or that the Du Family Chamber of Commerce lacked too many talents and the scalpers were not capable enough to serve as such an important senior executive.
"I was the wrong manager. The young man just wanted to make more money and did not consider the impact. So what should I do now? You have an idea. As long as it can be made up for, the young man will never dare to refuse to go through fire and water!" said the scalper sincerely.
Du Shaoqing sighed and said, "Okay, you get up. I have already made a countermeasure so that Erhu can implement it.
As for you, after so many years, the problem of greed for small gains has not been changed. You will stay in Chang'an in the future and help me and the shopkeeper manage the business.
I will let you come back for this matter. I will settle the leaders of the three tribes. I don’t need to take you out to eliminate public anger. You can stay in Chang'an with peace of mind.
It’s just that you have worked hard to make contributions in the Northeast for several years, and have not received heavy rewards and were severely punished. Just have no resentment in your heart.”
The scalper said sincerely: "I dare not. I am all given by my boss. If it weren't for you and Your Majesty, I am still idle on the streets, so how dare I take credit for myself? This time I ruined the country's major affairs, and it's too late to regret, so how dare I have resentment."
"You have talent, but you don't have enough vision and too shallow knowledge. The purpose of keeping you in Chang'an is not to give up, but to let you follow the shopkeeper and learn more. When you grow up, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally have a more important position for you. You must understand this."
"Thank you, thank you..."
The scalper thanked him so much, and finally let go of his heart.
At this time, Du Shaoqing took out a flat and delicate jade box from the table bucket.
"Boss, my little mistake is a sinner, and I dare not ask for rewards anymore. Isn't you slap the little one in the face?"
Du Shaoqing smiled and said, "You are sure you don't want me to apply it to you with the blood-activating and swelling-relieving medicine made by this secret recipe? Do you like the image of this pig head?
Or are you going to see your wife and children like this and scare them?"
Forehead……
"Ahem, the boss is joking. Thank you. I'll do it myself for the little thing about taking medicine. It's already late at night. You can go back early to rest. Maybe my wife will stay up late to wait for you." The scalper said as she reached out to get the medicine.
Du Shaoqing slapped his hand away, "What are you thinking?
This is the only box made by the Du family. It is not easy to refine. Xuanxuan made it out for half a month. It will be ready to apply it tonight tomorrow morning. Do you still want to take it all away? Are you afraid that Xuanxuan will fight you tomorrow?"
The scalper shivered, afraid, why not? Who is not afraid of the eldest lady in the family? If this is because of this, the tiger is driven to lick it, tsk...
When Chang'an City was formulating the Northeast plan, chaos in the northeast was gradually arose. The people had no money and had no food at home, and they were about to survive because of the difficulties. The leader went to Chang'an just after the Chinese New Year. Now all ethnic groups in the north can be said to be a group of dragons without heads and a pile of loose sand.
If this continues, how can the people survive? If no one stands up and guides the way, there will be only one situation and chaos!
In Fuyu City, the guard general has been replaced. Su Lie was promoted to a general for his military achievements, and the General of the Left Wu Guard belonged to Qin Shubao. It is much better than the position of a guard general of Fuyu City, the border guard general.
Looking at the information in his hand, some herders in the north had already started to flee the famine because they had no food. The guards panicked and found the chamber of commerce to manage the affairs, which means that Erhu frequently asked for advice.
Erhu said calmly: "General Liu, don't panic. In recent days, I have asked my subordinates to allocate money with all their strength. As long as the money is in place, the problem will be solved."
"I said to Brother Erhu, the current situation is that the people are starting to starve and have no food. What are you doing to mobilize money? The money is not used as food!" The guard general was puzzled.
To be continued...
