Chapter 189: Husband, I'm Cold...
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Brother Xiao, is something wrong?"
Xiao Ye said: "Indeed, there is news from the imperial court that the construction of Brother Xu's mansion in Anding County has been completed. My father asked me to tell Brother Xu that Brother Xu can prepare to go there."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and my wife is still sick... The court should be a person, even if you move, you have to warm up after the New Year."
Xiao Ye nodded and said: "It's really time to open the spring and then move. It's really inappropriate now."
It wasn't suitable for the two of them to just stand at the door of the house chatting like this in winter, so Xiao Ye followed Xu Qing into the Su residence.
Su House Lobby
After the two sat down and Xu Qing ordered tea, the two continued to talk.
Xiao Ye said: "Brother Xu is a bit inconvenient about moving, but should we let Guoshang move to the capital first?"
"National business?" Xu Qing murmured, "How to move?"
Xiao Ye said: "The shops in Yongzhou City will stay in Yongzhou City and continue to sell spirits and other national business products. As for the national business account books, business dispatching, and financial accounting personnel, they can move to the capital."
Xu Qing asked again: "Where will they live after they pass?"
Xiao Yedao: "Uncle Huang has already established a National Chamber of Commerce in the capital to review all affairs of the State Chamber of Commerce. , directly under the jurisdiction of the father and brother Xu.
Without the restraint of the imperial court and being independent from the existing bureaucratic system, Brother Xu and the people in the National Chamber of Commerce no longer have to worry about violating the law that all officials of the Great Chu are not allowed to do business.
However, although it is independent of the imperial court, it is a product of the Great Chu after all, and will eventually be involved with the imperial court, so there is another one: when necessary, the strong accumulation of the National Chamber of Commerce will temporarily act as the second largest of the Great Chu when the treasury is empty. treasury.
When the national treasury is sufficient, the State Chamber of Commerce will return the power of the treasury to the Ministry of Households, and continue to accumulate wealth in case the big Chu needs it.
Of course, the allocation of the funds obtained by the National Chamber of Commerce requires the approval of the father or brother, but... the father has always been lazy, once the National Chamber of Commerce is in charge, Brother Xu, don’t expect someone to help you share it..."
Xu Qing couldn't help being a little surprised, National Business Academy? The name is also ok.
It's just... who said that the only lazy person in the State Chamber of Commerce is the virtuous king?
Although Xiao Ye sometimes seemed a little dazed and silly, he was never ambiguous in matters, just like now, look, how clearly he reported everything one by one!
Many things can actually be left to Xiao Ye to take care of. At this moment, for her own sake, Xu Qing thinks it is better to let Xiao Ye continue to take the blame.
Those who can do more work...
Anyway, Xiao Ye has already carried a lot of scapegoats, and it has turned black and purple, so let's take a few more sips...
After hearing what Xiao Ye said, Xu Qing said: "There is no problem with these, but I have one condition, please tell the prince to Brother Xiao."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Brother Xu, please tell me."
Xu Qing said: "Anding County is a fief under you, right?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Of course it is."
Xu Qing said: "Can Anding County change the county magistrate?"
"Change the county magistrate?" Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback.
Xu Qing said: "My father-in-law is the magistrate of Yong'an County, and he cares and loves my wife very much on weekdays. If my wife and I go to Anding County, my father-in-law will definitely be worried, so I want to send my father-in-law Job titles have also changed.”
Although the father-in-law said that as long as Su Qian and Xu Qing can live happily in the future, they don't need anything, but then again, the father-in-law also went through ten years of hard work, can he really let it go easily? Definitely can't let go! It's just that in the heart of the father-in-law, his wife's priority is far higher than the county magistrate who was exchanged for ten years of cold windows.
Now, since the family can have a happy life together, Xu Qing must find a way to fight for it.
Not only must my wife live well, but the official position of my father-in-law must not be lost!
"This..." Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I will tell my father."
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "Thank you, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Ye stood up with cupped hands and said, "You're welcome as a family..."
...
Seeing Xiao Ye standing up and walking out, Xu Qing was slightly taken aback, what did Brother Xiao just say? Did I hear wrong?
But at this stage, nothing is important, as long as the lady is the most important.
After Xiao Ye left, Xu Qing returned to the main house in the small courtyard to continue taking care of Su Qian.
Xianwang Mansion
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, King Xian was surprised and said, "Bring the county magistrate of Yong'an to Anding County too? This kid still wants to achieve enlightenment alone, and a chicken dog ascends to heaven? But... it's not easy to exchange a local county magistrate for a county magistrate in the suburbs of Beijing. Tsk tsk. Tomorrow you ask him to come over and talk to me in person, and I want to see what leverage he can offer to return the post of county magistrate of Anding."
The closer the official position is to the political center of the capital, the more important it is. Even if it is a county magistrate, the county magistrate near the outskirts of Beijing is one or two ranks higher than ordinary places.
The world is bustling, all for profit!
Want to get something from his virtuous king without paying any favors?
wishful thinking!
You young man, do you know how to write the word profiteer?
...
Su Fu
Xu Qing sat by the bed, Su Qian leaned against Xu Qing's arms, Xu Qing held a small porcelain bowl in her hand, and in the small porcelain bowl was Xu Qing's brown sugar ginger water.
Xu Qing was feeding Su Qian to drink spoon by spoon.
Su Qian likes to eat sweet things, and also likes to drink sweet things.
Just like rock sugar Sydney and brown sugar ginger water, Su Qian especially likes them.
After drinking a small bowl of brown sugar ginger water, Xu Qing put the porcelain bowl on the small table aside, and wiped Su Qian's lips with a handkerchief.
In the past, although the two of them looked like a husband and wife in the eyes of ordinary people, they were not so close after all.
At that time, the two of them just ate together, took a walk together after eating, and commuted to get off work together, that's all.
Now, the two have taken another step forward.
After Su Qian drank the brown sugar ginger water in Xu Qing's arms, she rubbed her head against Xu Qing's chest, then closed her eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, it seemed that her injuries were not complete. Is it a bad thing...
At least, there are enough reasons to keep him by his side.
Xu Qing lowered her head to look at Su Qian's sleeping face. Su Qian has become very sleepy since she came back, as if she made up for all the sleep she hadn't slept in yesterday.
This time, Su Qian didn't wake up until dinner time.
Now Su Qian, apart from being helped by Xuan'er to go to the toilet, basically spends her time in bed, and Xu Qing feeds her even meals.
...
It was getting late, and even the moon had shrunk into the quilt of clouds.
It's time to sleep.
Su Qian was leaning on Xu Qing's arms at this time, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Xu Qing gently placed Su Qian's head on the pillow, covered the quilt and planned to leave.
But she didn't know when Su Qian held her hand.
"Husband, I'm cold..."
Magistrate Su, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, looked at Xu Qing who hadn't come out after the lights in the main house were turned off, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then his eyes became relieved.
