Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 885
Mu Yan returned to the mansion from outside.After sweeping over the guards who were staring at the posts in the dark, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Mu Zhan wanted to send people to follow him, so as to find Jiao Zan's whereabouts, but he only sent these people. I don't know if he was confident or underestimated him.I'm afraid the news I got is that he hasn't been out of the house for a day.

Shi Shiran returned to Cuihuang courtyard.

"You're back? Jiao Zan released?"

Mu Yan nodded, walked up to her and touched her stomach, "Why don't you like to move these days?" Somewhat worried.

"I'm a lazy one like me. I don't like to move in hot weather." Pulled him to sit down and asked about Jiao Zan, "Aren't you going to the capital? Are you afraid that he will bite back?"

"He didn't dare, and he didn't have the ability."

"Then didn't you collect his criminal evidence and send it to the Ministry of War? Then he can go back and continue to serve?"

"The things are with my father-in-law. I will send an express letter later. When my father-in-law receives the letter, he knows what to do. Although I saved Jiao Zan's life, I asked him to go to the capital to resign and remove all his positions."

"Oh, he will?"

"This is the only way he can go." After speaking, he remembered Jiao Zan kowtowing to beg him...

Afraid that he knew there was no way out, Jiao Zan kowtowed and pleaded, "Please allow me to go to the border guard, no matter which one, please allow me to be a pawn in the guard."I am determined to be in the army, and I want to kill all foreign enemies, and this is the only wish.If the son refuses, I will live as if withered...'

Huo Xi sighed after hearing this, "Jiao Zan is a man who can bend and stretch."

Mu Yan nodded, "Yes. I have thought about how to deal with him before. He is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits. He has been in the position of fourth-rank commander in only ten years. Credit can also be promoted to third-rank commander and acquaintance."

This person has done something and made meritorious deeds. Mu Yan is a person who loves talents.

Huo Xi sighed: "With his skill and ability, even if he starts as a pawn, he can't stop him from being promoted. With his previous contacts, it won't take too long. You can rest assured that he will be sent back to the army. Middle? Aren’t you afraid that he will become the help of Jun’s family again?”

"I respected him as a man before releasing him to the army. And he knew that I was in my hands and his future was in my hands. He would never get involved with the Jun family again. I dealt with Jiao Zan , is to break Jun’s arm. And once Jun’s wealth is cut off, it is to cut off Mu Zhan’s wings.”

"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind."

The husband and wife began to talk about other things.After a while, after hearing the report from the servants, Shopkeeper Yu and Gen Qi both came.Huo Xicai got up.

Seeing Mu Yan following, he squinted at him, "You don't need to go to the study to be a director?"

Mu Yan looked at her stomach, and refused to let go of her hand, "I'm afraid you're working too hard, so I have to keep an eye on you."

Fine.Follow if you love.

The husband and wife went to the study, and Yu Lu and Gen Qi came in one after the other.

Hearing that the money on credit has been recovered, Yu Lu was overjoyed, took the box and looked at it, holding it tightly in his arms with joy.

Huo Xi ordered: "Take the money for the goods to the South and North Merchant Company, and hand it over to the cashier to enter the account." Yu Lu should be.

"In addition, the original time limit for credit sales to traders in the city will be extended from quarterly bids to annual bids. Short bids for credit sales to merchants in Yunnan can be extended up to two quarterly bids. For city vendors, it is only necessary to verify that they are indeed citizens of the city. , can increase credit release.”

Mu Yan and Gen Qi were stunned, but they didn't speak.

Yu Lu somewhat disagreed, "Can you increase credit releases for traders in the city? Give them back the annual bid? Madam, this is probably to increase the amount of bad debts."

Yu Lu didn't know much about the inside story of Li Daitao's stiffening this time. At first, when he thought that the goods sold on credit through his hands, as many as one million taels were cheated, he almost pouted in distress.She pleaded guilty several times in front of Huo Xi and Shizi, and wanted to resign from the position of shopkeeper.

Now that he finally recovered the payment for the goods, he has not yet given up his heart, so why not tighten up credit sales and increase credit releases?

Don't even need a mortgage?
"Credit release is only for merchants in the city. And not every merchant is like this. There are special ones who can't even take out half of their wealth as collateral, and their character and ability are very good, so they release goods on credit. Because Vendors living in the city have their family members here, they can be checked and controlled, so they are encouraged to sell on credit, and they can sell their goods long distances, so they are given long bids."

Yu Lu was still thinking about the pros and cons, but Gen Qi had figured out the key points.

"Madam, is it because the business in the city is sluggish and encourages everyone to go out?"

Huo Xi nodded, "Yes, in today's commercial environment in the city, the original daily grocery stores are almost closed, which is indeed caused by the opening of the North and South Merchant Stores. I am responsible. I will change some business ideas in the future. For the current merchants We need to encourage this kind of behavior and revitalize the local business atmosphere. We need to support the vendors in the city and revitalize the business in the whole of Yunnan.”

With her series of favorable business policies, coupled with the reduction of local business tax, the local business can be active and prosperous.There is no need to worry about the loss of merchants, and more people from other places will be attracted to do business here, and finally choose Dianchi to live happily.

It's just that there is no hurry to reduce the local business tax. We have to wait until the Jun's family is settled before discussing with the Duke.

Huo Xi glanced at Mu Yan, Mu Yan understood, and nodded slightly towards her.Huo Xi smiled at him.

Nowadays, North-South Merchant Co., Ltd. sells on credit almost only to traders in the province, and releases goods on credit only to local traders living in the city.

Now that she got so much money from Jun's family, it is not easy to use it in the project of benefiting the people, put it in the goods store, and encourage traders to sell on credit, even if there are a few bad debts, it doesn't matter.

"Since we opened for a few months, we have had a great impact on the merchants in the city. It is time to have some measures to benefit the people and improve business, so that we can make a long-term development. If we can make some small contributions to the prosperity of local business, it is also my generation's business. the duty of a man."

Huo Xi analyzed it, and Yu Lu admired it very much, "Young ones don't think long-term than madam. Hearing Madam's words, I suddenly became enlightened. There is a madam in charge, and the young ones only follow her orders. Don't worry, madam, the young ones know what to do." .”

After Yu Lu left with the silver in his hands, Gen Qi saw that he had stayed behind, and asked, "Does Madam have any thoughts about Qianzhuang?"

Huo Xi nodded, "Yes. Regarding the Qianzhuang, you managed it well. These years, the distribution has spread a lot, and every year it has made a lot of money. Thanks to the support of the Qianzhuang, those people raised by your young master are living in a decent way."

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, and Gen Qi couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed when he saw it.

"Ma'am, I don't know. The former Marquis and the Marquis left so many people for the young master. A bunch of veterans and remnants are all waiting to reach out to the young master for honor and silver. Although the two marquis left a lot of property, each You spend more money everywhere. Madam, you don’t know that in the early years, the young master was not even willing to give us the monthly silver, but only painted cakes for us and said that he would make up for it in the future. Withhold our silver and use it to support those people in the village. "

The second-class people from Li Yikan followed the young master in the capital, and the monthly money from the Duke's wife, they didn't even see a hair in Yunnan.I didn't dare to deduct a little bit privately, saying that I was in charge, not even a buddy, and my life was miserable.

Huo Xi couldn't stop laughing when she thought of the past.

"Your young master was very stingy when he was young. He bargained for a bottle of crab butter with me, and bought a gift for his aunt. He was so expensive that he couldn't bear to buy a velvet flower of ten taels of silver. He was so distressed that he insisted that I cheated on him." money."

Seeing the young master turned his face away, Gen Qi laughed even more.
