Republic of China small businessman

summer.

The Russians broke the agreement and imposed heavy taxes on the goods from the Chinese side entering the duty-free land.

Negotiations between the two parties failed, and the Baili tax exemption policy was canceled in June.

Horvager, the Russian head of the Eastern Provincial Railway, was tough at first, but gradually became unable to do what he wanted, not only because of the pressure from the three northern provinces, but also because of the Russians who lived on the railway line.Prohibition was carried out vigorously. There were more than [-] Russians along the Eastern Provincial Railway. They lost their jobs in factories and were so poor that they couldn't help themselves. They also started marching.

These workers established an organization and staged four general strikes.

There was even a small group of people who arrested Holvag everywhere, causing this noble official to hide in embarrassment several times, in a constant state of panic.

General Bai of the provincial capital was naturally happy to see the success, and secretly supported it. After less than two months of trouble, the road guards disarmed the armed forces and police of the Eastern Provincial Railway, dismissed all positions of Holvag, and the Governor's Palace With a single order, and with lightning speed, they entered the Eastern Provincial Railway quickly and strongly, and changed important positions along the line, completely turning a new page in history.

At the same time, the October events in Russia broke out.

The Russians had no time to look east, and no one talked about the prohibition of alcohol. The location of the Eastern Provincial Railway was re-divided and moved forward for a full fifty miles.

General Bai loves the land very much, and if he can ask for more, he will definitely get some.

There have always been minor frictions on the border between the two countries. When China was in chaos a few years ago, the Russians often took advantage of the opportunity. Now that the Russians have caused troubles, they will naturally return the same to the other side.

The value of the ruble is falling day by day.

A group of border merchants in Huaguo sensed the crisis and exchanged their rubles for gold and silver. They sold off all the assets of houses and factories outside, and converted them into materials and shipped them back to China one after another.

The Bai family started this matter as early as a year ago, and it was also the fastest one among them, but instead of collecting more gold and silver, they purchased a large number of materials, such as food, leather, cotton, medicine and so on.The boats of the Bai family docked one after another, and they were said to be cotton, but the naked eye could see that the draft was definitely not a light item like cotton, and a lot of goods were packed in wooden boxes. As soon as they docked in Aihu and other places, there were teams The well-trained "patrollers" were transported away directly.

Those "patrollers" were also different from those in the past. They looked well-trained, almost like soldiers.

There are rumors that the ninth master of the Bai family bought supplies for the old general in the governor's mansion, including military rations and ordnance.

Such rumors only spread for half a day before they stopped.

No one dared to discuss it any more.

But the more this happened, the more people confirmed that guess.

Nanfang.

In the bungalow, everyone in the East Courtyard was packing and packing their luggage in an orderly manner, preparing to go back to the provincial capital.

There are a lot of new cars parked outside, all of which are filial piety from Bai Hongqi, there are seven or eight cars.

The matter in Nanfang was over, and Master Jiu also had some free time, so he rested at home for a few days.

Master Jiu taught Xie Jing how to write in the study. Standing behind Xie Jing, he half-wrapped him in his arms, bent down and held his hand, and led him to write slowly, stroke by stroke, teaching seriously.

When Bai Mingyu knocked on the door and came in, he happened to see this scene and was stunned for a moment.

Master Jiu's posture did not change, he only raised his eyes to look at him, and said softly, "I let you in?"

Bai Mingyu took half a step back, knocked on the door again in a polite manner, stood at the door and watched eagerly, waiting for approval.

Master Jiu's eyes fell back to the paper, he held Xie Jing's hand and finished writing a word, then said, "Come in."

Bai Mingyu just came in and stood at the desk to report to him. It was nothing serious. It was nothing more than the property of Nanfang. Once they left, others would always need to take over, especially the taverns on both sides of the railway. It's not bad, and it's more or less profitable.

Jiu Ye said: "You draw up a list, write down the land deed and employee information clearly, and send it to your aunt tomorrow. This month is her birthday, so send it as a birthday gift."

Bai Mingyu asked: "Give them all?"

Master Jiu stopped writing and raised his head to look at him puzzled: "Naturally, you have taken a fancy to Hong'er, why are you so stingy, but how many times do you have to divide the shops?"

Bai Mingyu's face turned red. Standing there, he didn't even dare to look at Master Jiu. He stammered, "Who, who fell in love with her! She's so fierce, I've never had a good temper..."

Master Jiu said: "That being the case, I will tell my aunt later that there is no need to keep Hong'er for a few more years, and let her recruit a son-in-law this year."

"Hey, lord, I just said nonsense, I... I..."

Bai Mingyu murmured for a long time, but "I" didn't come up with a reason, raised his hand and scratched his face a few times, held back for a while and said, "I just think she looks pretty good."

"How can you only look at beauty when you get married?"

"...He's also quite a nice person, especially capable."

Master Jiu asked this sentence, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you should hurry up."

Bai Mingyu's face was flushed, and he was rarely embarrassed. He stood there and asked in a low voice, "Master, how did you know?"

Jiu Ye said: "You want to write all your thoughts on your face, who doesn't know?"

Bai Mingyu turned pale with shock: "Bai... Auntie also knows?"

Master Jiu shook his head, looking at him with a complicated expression.

These two people are both first-class experts in terms of business, but I don't know if they are too smart, and they are extremely slow in other things.

Xie Jing worked hard to write, but Quan pretended not to hear, and tried hard not to smile face to face.

The Second Young Master's appearance is too naive.

He was also surprised for a while when he first noticed it. He never thought that Bai Er would fall in love with Bai Hongqi, but in Nanfang for a year, he watched the second young master provoke other girls every day, thinking that his relationship had taken a step forward, but he didn't. Not stepping on the cat's tail once made Miss Hong want to fight him.

After chasing for a year, I almost became enemies with the other party, which is also a skill.

Bai Mingyu stood there and said again: "Master, the Nanfang shop got the money from you at the beginning, so it's not appropriate to send all of it. I keep half of it and convert it into silver and send it back to the East Courtyard? When I got the money from Manager Sun Fu It’s all agreed, we’ll double it and go back.”

Master Jiu asked, "How much did you receive from Sun Fu?"

Bai Mingyu said honestly, "I received eight thousand silver dollars."

Jiu Ye said: "The Liyin that has been sent back one after another over the past year is almost [-], which is enough. Since these shops in Nanfang have been given to you, they are properties under your name. Whether they are running well or not is also your own. Ability. Aunt's birthday, it is not impossible to send some valuables and jewelry, I asked you to give the shop to let her know you better." He looked at Bai Mingyu and said, "When you send it, Speak nicely, you know?"

Bai Mingyu suddenly realized and nodded quickly.

Xie Jing finished writing a picture, moved his body slightly, Jiu Ye whispered in his ear: "Don't move, the date hasn't been written here yet."

The last few strokes of Zanhua Xiaokai were also written with Xie Jing's hand. There was no effort at the front. When I mentioned the words at the end, I wrote my name next to Xie Jing's side, which was the same as the words I taught Xie Jing before Two flavors.

Master Jiu stopped writing, stood up and glanced at Bai Mingyu, wondering, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that the two of them were in a daze, Bai Mingyu regained his senses after being asked a question, and then took his leave and left.

Bai Er has been out of the gate of the bungalow, still a little foggy, feeling that Master Jiu and Xiao Xie are too close, but this kind of intimacy is very natural, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong for a while, as if the two of them should be in this way.

Bai Mingyu scratched his chin, his brows furrowed and then loosened.

He didn't understand.

After a while, I just didn't bother to think about it, and went to prepare the shop deed paper as Jiu Ye said.

Before leaving, there was a little episode.

The head of the Azure Dragon Club came to see him off.

During the half a year in Nanfang, Master Jiu had tidied up the Azure Dragon Society and kept everything for his own use.

Those with bad deeds in the Azure Dragon Society have been eradicated, and the remaining few are fairly well-behaved. The rest of the cadres, large and small, have replaced the staff of the East Court, and they only listen to the greetings of Master Jiu.Only the head of the family was left with a bit of vision, and he stayed at the end, becoming a puppet, lingering on his last breath.

The head of the family has now resigned to his fate, completely put away his thoughts of making trouble, and turned around to please.

Because there was a time when I gave Jiu Ye a gift and angered the other party, the head of the family was not sure what to give.

The person beside him said: "The head of the family, why don't you send someone over this time?"

The head of the family said with a bluff, "Don't mess around, Bai Jiuye doesn't like this."

The man said: "Not to Master Jiu, but to Steward Xie."

"Thank you steward?"

"That's right, it's the one who favors Jiu Ye the most. I heard that he is the youngest and the most thoughtful and neat in handling things. And last time he accepted a 'gift' - he kept someone else!"

The head of the family became a bit interested, and it doesn't matter what kind of beauty he likes. He is afraid that the other party doesn't like it. Now that he knows it, it will be easy to handle, so he hurriedly asked: "What kind of beauty did he keep?"

"There is a man here, the one who carried the sedan chair last time, it seems to be called Huang...Huang Renfeng, yes, that's the name!"

The astonishment of the big master was only remembered after being reminded by people around. Although the Huadan who sang opera was driven away, there was indeed one person left, and during this period, I often saw that Huang Renfeng running to the bungalow, and nine out of ten times he was able to enter. In the courtyard, talk to Guanshi Xie inside.

The other party said: "We can't guess Bai Jiuye's thoughts, but since that manager Xie likes this, let's send it over again, this bearer is still cheap!"

The head of the family had a strange expression: "Like bearers? What kind of strange hobby is this?"

People around can't figure it out either.

The head of the family inquired for a while, and when he knew that there was indeed such a thing, he made preparations, and went to the bungalow to give gifts before Bai Jiuye left.

As soon as the head of the family sent the person up, Xie Jing looked shocked and waved his hands refusing to take it.

The head of the family: "Thank you, steward, don't be polite to me. I have already inquired. The Huang Renfeng is older. Although he can speak well, he is not as strong as this one. You see, he is also strong. You stay here and use it as you like." !"

Coincidentally, Jiu Ye came down the stairs and bumped into this scene, and his face turned cold when he was outside.

It is conceivable that the head of the family was kicked out together with the "gift".

Master Jiu's expression was not good, and he turned his head, only to find that Xie Jing was already laughing so hard that he was lying on the stair column. His face was tense, but he finally slowed down a little, and said to Xie Jing, "I'm afraid Huang Renfeng can't handle your business alone. Zhouquan, I will call two more people to go together so that I can take care of them, and if there is any news, it will be delivered faster."

Xie Jing nodded and said: "Grandma also mentioned it to me several times, saying that my mother's family used to live in Shanghai for a while, but I didn't mention Rongcheng, but I wanted to look for it."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Master Jiu came over and raised his hand to cut his hair. Xie Jing's hair was a little longer, and it was black and shiny, matching his skin like porcelain. His brows were straight, and his lips were angular but soft.

Xie Jing lowered her eyes slightly, but did not avoid it.

Master Jiu rubbed the corner of his lips with his thumb, and the touch was delicate and cool.

His Jing'er grew better and better, and he became more and more unable to bear someone watching from the sidelines, even if it was a misunderstanding.I don't know why, the more we face each other day and night these days, the more he can't help being obsessed, as if the other party opens his lips to say anything, and he will be unconditionally satisfied.
