Chapter Thirteen It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself
Early this morning, Pei Min wore the official uniform under Jiao Chen's service: Pei Min was not used to this kind of life when people were required to be served in clothes at first, but Jiao Chen was particularly persistent in this regard and insisted on doing so.
Pei Min couldn't vomit her, and she was happy to enjoy it. After a long time, she became used to such fairy days.
A few days ago, the sweet-hearted Chen had not arrived, and I couldn't help but miss her every morning.
Now she is in a good mood.
"Waiting for me at home!" Pei Min kissed Jiao Chen gently on the forehead and said, "Today, there is nothing big happening except meeting the young master of the Long family. I told him about Taoyan. For my husband, I will come to accompany my wife to the streets!"
"Okay!" Jiao Chen responded and sent him out.
As the governor of Taozhou, Pei Min lives directly in the governor's office and works in the office. He only needs to walk from the backyard to the front yard only a hundred steps away.
There was still some distance from the agreed time. Pei Min asked about the status of the Changshi Gu Xinlong family in Longyou and smiled and said, "The surname Long is really rare!"
Gu Xin nodded: "The Long surname is one of the ancient surnames. The descendants of the Shao-Yu clan and the Tai-Yu clan mostly take the dragon as their surname, but they are not interested in being similar to the real dragon. However, Long Jun's dragon does not originate from the Shao-Yu clan and the Tai-Yu clan. But to the barbarians of the southwest Yi, can the governor hear of the four great families of ancient Dian?"
Pei Min nodded and said, "During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the general Wei Qing opened the southern border and recruited wealthy people as officials to control the barbarians. The major surnames of Yi Han in northern Guizhou were Long, Fu, Yin, Dong, Xie and other families. Gongsun Shushi, the great surnames of Long, Fu, Yin, Dong and Gongcao Xie Xian protected the territory as Han, and made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty."
"The Governor is knowledgeable!" Gu Xin praised and took a photo of a small horse, saying, "Later, Emperor Guangwu of Han sent Wu Han to Shu and massacred Chengdu. The Long family's foundation was threatened and moved to Longyou and gained a foothold in Longyou! Until today, their situation is not much different from that of the Peng family. They are all families of far-reaching ages, and they do not support the outstanding talents of the family, relying on fame only to support them. The Long family's situation is much worse than that of the Peng family, and their prospects are not very satisfactory. Almost all of the clans have turned into vendors and are engaged in business. It is not as good as the Peng family, and they have always insisted on their careers and read the books of sages."
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!
This is a status class that has been inevitable in all dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception. Although the court is open and encouraged to come to the Tang Dynasty to trade, it has an excellent business environment. Although it does not attach much importance to the merchant class, it has not clearly objected. However, the law's exclusion of merchants also exists.
In the Tang Dynasty, merchants should not be officials, and "the business family should not be prescribed by scholars" is a dead rule.
The transfer of the Long family to business means that they have cut off their own path to becoming an official.
Gu Xin continued: "Maybe the family was influenced by Confucius and Mencius's thoughts, the Long family was the first to be a businessman, not those merchants who did whatever they could do for the sake of little things, and had a good reputation. Taozhou lacked food, and the Long family also ran for the livelihood of the people. If the Long family had not refused to sell grain to other gentry at a high price, they chose to hand it over to the government. Taozhou could not support the affairs of Peng's family, and it was even more impossible for the governor to arrive. If it was really that way, the humble position would have to take the initiative to let the people go out for food."
Pei Min also secretly thanked that fortunately, he made a quick decision at that time and killed Peng Qi, and obtained 3,000 stones of grain for Taozhou. Once Gu Xin announced that he would allow the people to go out, Taozhou would become a state of no death. It would not be easy to recover from his anger. Taozhou is more likely to be occupied by Tubo and become a military base.
While the two were discussing, the servant came to report: "Long Jun asked for a meeting!"
"Hurry, invite him in!" Pei Min waved his hand and walked down to the hall to greet him.
Long Jun is a small figure in his early thirties, with a bit of shrewd and capable character. Seeing the familiar Gu Xin following a handsome young man with Fengshen, he knew the identity of the visitor without introducing the introduction. He said with a bit of flattery: "I have met the governor Pei!"
"No need to be polite!" Pei Min smiled and said, "I also thanked the contribution of Young Master Long's family to Taozhou City."
Long Jun bowed and said, "The Long family is doing business with the right way and will not be able to thank the governor Pei for his duties."
Although he had changed his career and became a businessman, Pei Min could see that Long Jun's Confucian style had not changed at all. He thought that the Long family still had the intention to become an official.
Let him talk in and say straight to the point: "Young Master Long, I'm asking you for something today!"
Long Jun said without hesitation: "Please tell me the governor Pei!"
Pei Min said: "I have set a feasible policy for Taozhou and need a reliable merchant to assist in the sales to drive the commercial atmosphere of Taozhou and make Taozhou an important frontier town in our Tang Dynasty. Gu Changshi said that only the Long family has the best reputation and can trust it."
Long Jun hesitated for a while and said, "I wonder what governor Pei wants to do?"
Pei Min said: "The characteristics of Taoshuishi are definitely clear about the long-term living in Longyou. I don't say much. For the sake of Taozhou economy, the prefecture intends to promote the development of Taoshuishishi, mines sand and gravel in the river to make inkstones, and watches rockery and other handicrafts. All of this is arranged properly, and only one commercial channel is missing, which is mutually beneficial. If this matter is done, it will not only be for Taozhou, but also for your Long family."
Long Jun glanced at Pei Min, his heart was unsteady, and after a while, he said: "Pei governor took good care of his good intentions, and the Long family was grateful. It was just that the Long family was dominated by rice and did not have the idea of getting involved in his career. Please forgive me for not being able to take this important task!"
Pei Min's expression became a little embarrassed.
Gu Xin hurriedly said: "Governor Pei's words are just a matter of 100% of the time. This matter is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your Long family."
Long Jun thought about it and refused again, "I am very ashamed of the expectations of Governor Pei!"
"Okay!" Pei Min glanced at Long Jun and said, "Pei doesn't make things difficult for you, you can retreat first!"
Long Jun bowed and retreated.
Gu Xin looked around and said, "Go to go to Long Shao's boss to talk about it?"
"No need!" Pei Min said: "It's not sweet tormented! The Long family doesn't want to believe me, so it's useless to say more! This benefit is right in front of you. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, and a businessman can't find it?"
Long Jun refused because he was unwilling to cooperate with the official, and was worried that after the official made a profit, he would take the blame, which would make the Long family work in vain.
Pei Min could understand Long Jun's thoughts, but his reputation as a big man was questioned, which really made him unhappy. He thought that if he hadn't heard what the store manager said at the Long Family Mixing that day, he wouldn't have chosen to give it to the Long Family, and would have given so many benefits, but he didn't want to be kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Gu Xin looked at Pei Min with some confusion, wanting to speak but stopping.
Pei Min waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I, Pei Min, are not a narrow-minded person. If you don't make a business, you won't be targeted by the Long family. This matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible, and you have to find a reliable business. You can deal with the arrangements for the people to move, and let me think about it carefully!"
Gu Xin said goodbye with confidence and left.
Pei Min thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a business in Longyou who could take great responsibility.
I really couldn't think of it, and after thinking about the agreement with Jiao Chen, I returned to the inner hall.
Taozhou is vast and sparsely populated. As a military important place, there are also eight similar scenes: the towering lotus peaks, the smelting sea ice map, the jade bamboo shoots on the mountain, the gold locks on the stone gate.
The most famous of them is the towering and beautiful Lotus Peak. As a scenic spot in the Lotus Mountain in Xikongtong, it is said that the Lotus Mountain gathers the dangers of Huayue, the wonders of Huangshan, the secludedness of Qingcheng City, and the beauty of Emei are all in the place where Guangchengzi is transformed, full of legendary colors.
Jiao Chen had a long time to play. When he was waiting for a long time, he saw Pei Min coming and greeted him happily. When he got close to him, he saw that he was thinking about his thoughts and hurriedly said, "Is Pei Lang's official business heavy? Lianhua Mountain is in Taozhou, and he can't run away. If you go there one day, it's not like to go!"
Pei Min shook his head and smiled, "It has nothing to do with this! How can I regret the agreement?" He knew that his wife was meticulous and if she didn't explain the matter, she wouldn't be interested in playing, so she told Long Jun in detail that she rejected him.
"It's outrageous!" Jiao Chen said with a strong eyebrows and said angrily: "Pei Lang's words are the most trustworthy man in the world! The boss of Long Shao is really blind."
"Haha!" Pei Min smiled and took Jiao Chen's hand and kissed: "Mrs. What he said is right is that he has no eyes. We don't have to be angry about him, a person without eyes! Bring disguise tools and play with us!"
Jiao Chen said embarrassedly: "It's ready."
Pei Min pulled Jiao Chen to the backyard.
Jiao Chen was still thinking about Long Jun's affairs and sighed: "I know a lot of wealthy merchants, but most of them are greedy and profit-seeking people, and they dare not have too much contact with the government."
Pei Min said: "This businessman is natural for profit. It's just that I don't want such good things to be cheap for those businessmen with a fat heart. It seems that they can only be cheap..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Jiao Chen in a daze, and after a while, he said: "Madam, I just had a thought for my husband. See if it's feasible! According to my Tang Dynasty laws, you can't go to business for your husband. But Qiao Feng can do it. Why do you want to take advantage of those businessmen? Play two roles for your husband and direct and act yourself and it's easier to operate, so don't worry about an accident."
Jiao Chen naturally knew that Qiao Feng was another identity of Pei Min, and said in a daze: "Is this considered illegal?"
The more Pei Min thought about it, the more feasible he felt: "Who knows if the wife doesn't say anything about it? Besides, being a husband is not about doing something that goes against conscience and morality. It is just to facilitate the governance and exhibition of Taozhou and take everything in his own hands."
Jiao Chen didn't hesitate for too long and nodded: "Pei Lang thinks it's feasible, he shouldn't be wrong."
Pei Min became active and said, "In this way, he would have to use his wife's dowry. The salary for his husband is far from enough to open up a commercial channel."
Jiao Chen didn't care about this: "I have already said that those things are not considered dowry, so Pei Lang just takes them at will."
Pei Min shook his head and said, "Yes, my family doesn't care much about it. But what should be divided should be clearly divided. When sharing profits, the wife takes up the majority. Just fill in your name by the head of the business bank. Sometimes it is difficult for the husband to take care of him. If you have a wife, you can feel at ease."
Seeing Pei Min boldly entrusting the burden with confidence, Jiao Chen was even more happy and nodded: "Don't worry, Pei Lang, I will definitely work hard to do the best."
Pei Min resolved the big matter, hugged Jiao Chen happily and said, "Madam is really my good friend!" As he said that, he kissed her cherry lips.
After a while, Pei Min took Jiao Chen Qian out of the backyard and walked into a mansion in the backyard of the Zhou Mansion!
This mansion was specially purchased by Pei Min to resettle the two identities of "Qiao Feng" and "A Zhu".
The backyard of the Zhou Mansion is separated by an unmanned street and alley, which is very convenient for their identity exchange.
Jiao Chen skillfully cared on Pei Min's face, but in just a quarter of an hour, Pei Min's delicate and handsome face turned into a heroic northern man. Finally, he carefully glued his beard to Pei Min, completed his masterpiece, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then Jiao Chen sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Pei Min what he asked for.
Pei Min thought for a while and said, "Draw one at will, but it is better to have certain appearance characteristics. After all, it is the female owner of the Mount Everest Trading Company or my wife. How can you be an ordinary woman?" He said in Qiao Feng's tone.
Jiao Chen couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard this, so he thought about it and started drawing it casually.
This is the first time Pei Min saw Jiao Chen performing disguise in front of him. In the past, he used to do things on his face, and often turned him into another person without realizing it. Now, seeing her performing disguise on her face, she realized that the method can be described as "magical".
Because she has no specific appearance, Jiao Chen is arbitrarily disguised.
Pei Min looked at the beautiful Chen who was gradually looking like, and unexpectedly remembered someone in her heart: Joey Wong!
Jiao Chen's unintentional disguise appearance actually looks three-point like Joey Wong!
You should know that Joey Wong is the goddess in Pei Min's heart in her future childhood. Nie Xiaoqian is as beautiful as a fairy. On a whim, she instructs Jiao Chen with a few excitement!
"The nose is higher..."
"The eyebrows are thicker and slightly upturned..."
"The mouth is a little bigger and the nose is a little straighter!"
"Yes! Yes! That's it!"
He directed Jiao Chen to retouch according to his memory.
After a lot of effort, Jiao Chen actually disguised himself as the female ghost in his memory. Not to mention the exact similarity, it also tasted eighty.
"It's really similar!" Pei Min couldn't help but say something shocked.
Jiao Chen looked at herself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but eat it: "What do you think!"
Pei Min immediately said, "I had a dream last night and dreamed of the lady's current appearance. By chance, the lady disguised herself and disguised herself as such. Do you think we couple have a little bit of harmony?" Before Jiao Chen could speak, he immediately said, "I don't have colorful phoenix flying wings, and I have a little bit of harmony!"
As the number one actor, Jiao Chen has outstanding cultural literacy!
I instantly realized the artistic conception in the poem, and my eyes were a little confused!
"Pei Lang!"
Pei Min looked at the version of Ah Zhu in front of him. Although she was strange, she was extremely satisfied. She coughed and said, "It's important to do it!" As he said that, he handed over Ah Zhu's identity and household registration certificate to Jiao Chen, and asked her to remember it.
Chapter completed!
