Chapter 89 Back to Hangzhou
It seems that it is not appropriate for the old people to do new things. In fact, it is very appropriate, because... If Niu Yugeng and Miao Tsuensun can accept the "Consultation of Political Reference" and "New Administration", other officials in the court may also accept it.
It took a few days for Hu Chuyuan, the two of them and the Gu family to elaborate their ideas in detail, and even took them to sort out the first sample issue of the Political Reference, and things began to become much smoother.
Finally, Hu Chuyuan can relax for a few days.
He decided to go to the West Lake, and then to Baoguo Temple. Before going to Fuzhou, he also worshipped Hu Xueyan's spiritual throne. Anyway, the Fuzhou Ship Administration Yamen was the foundation laid by Hu Xueyan.
He hopes that when he goes, Hu Xueyan's spirit in heaven can bless him.
Just as he was about to go out, his second brother Hu Pinyuan and his third brother Hu Yuyuan came to find Hu Chuyuan.
In this year, Hu Chuyuan has been busy coming and going, and he really rarely has the opportunity to sit down and talk with his two younger brothers.
"Brother, are you going out?" Seeing that Hu Chuyuan seemed to be going out, Hu Pinyuan asked with concern.
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I want to go around the West Lake, see the land of Qingbomen, and go to Baoguo Temple by the way."
Hu Zhenyuan thought for a moment, but Hu Pinyuan smiled and said, "Then let's go too!"
"All right!"
Hu Chuyuan pulled them on and got into the carriage together.
When the car slowly drove out, Hu Pinyuan said to Hu Chuyuan, "Brother, I don't want to go to any Sinology Museum. I want to go directly to Mr. Chen's place to be a clerk!"
"Oh?"
Hu Chuyuan quietly thought about it in his heart and asked him, "Did your mother say something?"
Hu Pinyuan smiled and said, "She didn't say anything. I think so. I don't want to do calligraphy. I don't want to ask everyone in college. Just play by myself. I don't have to work too hard."
Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Since Shanxi people started the ticket number, there has been a rule that the third master does not accept the ticket number, that is, the young master, the uncle, the uncle, these three masters are determined not to accept it. If you want to go to the ticket number, start with the clerk. That's a good thing. I agree, but we are the owner. The young master of the owner has never gone to the ticket number to work. This is the rule of the past. If I told you, Mr. Chen didn't say anything, but he was probably uncomfortable.
"Well...no wonder!" Hu Pinyuan squeaked and muttered.
Hu Chuyuan then asked, "No wonder what?"
Hu Pinyuan said, "When I talked to my mother in the morning, she didn't say anything. She just said that she wanted me to ask you. Now think about it, she also knows that this is not easy to do.
Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "Si Niang must know this rule. Think about it, when I came back from Yinghua Academy, my father wanted me to go to the bank to help. He learned from below, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only let me follow Liu Chengxiang's big shopkeeper to make an outer cabinet in the silk shop.
Hu Zhenyuan quietly raised his eyes and asked dissatisfiedly, "Brother, where do you think the ticket number comes from so many rules that even the owner dares not ask?"
Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and said, "I don't quite understand earlier, but this is the ticket number. It only deals on money. Among all transactions, this business is the most unique. These rules are actually for a reason. For example, there are two deadst rules for Shanxi ticket number. First, the owner is not allowed to ask about the ticket number business, and only has the right to check the accounts and dividends at the end of the year. If you are not satisfied with the big shopkeeper, you can change to the big shopkeeper, but you must not exceed the things under the management of the big shopkeeper. Second, the owner's own business must not Borrow silver two from the ticket number; our Zhejiang ticket number is not strictly guarded at these two points. As a result, the ticket number in Zhejiang opened quickly and many people died. Many ticket numbers closed down because the owner intervened in management and took money to run their own business without authorization.
Hu Zhenyuan said again, "In this case, do we dare to change the big shopkeeper?"
Hu Chuyuan said, "Yes, of course, the owner does not dare to change the big shopkeeper easily. In order to deal with this problem, many owners issue a few ticket numbers. One ticket number is not well managed, and immediately call the big shopkeeper and shopkeeper of other ticket numbers to fill it in. Ningbo people do the fastest on this point. Several households have more than a dozen ticket numbers in their hands, but the problem also comes out. It is difficult to make the ticket numbers of Ningbo people bigger. Each family can only dominate one side and can't dominate the whole Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Hu Zhenyuan nodded slightly.
Hu Pinyuan asked again, "That's because our big shopkeeper is not thoughtful. What should we do? We only have one ticket number... At present, there are two companies, but it seems that Mr. Chen is in charge."
Hu Chuyuan said, "What the owner has to do is not to manage things, but to know and employ people, especially in the business of ticket numbers. We must see clearly what kind of person the shopkeeper is. There are also some old rules in it. For example, the shopkeeper who has a concubine will not keep it, and the outer cabinet with a concubine will not accept it. Not to mention that the shopkeeper doesn't marry a concubine, Shanxi people don't even take a concubine from the owner of the ticket number. This is the rule of operating the ticket number. It is not greedy, loyal and honest. If you are not such people, you can't manage the ticket number.
Hu Pinyuan couldn't help spitting out his tongue and laughing, "I'm sure I can't run the ticket number business. Brother, give me another way to make a living. I'm a 20-year-old man. I can't rely on my brother to make money to support me. I eat the interest you earn at home every day, right?"
Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Of course it's good that you can think so. Well, you can do another job, and I think you can do it.
Hu Pinyuan couldn't help but ask curiously and eagerly, "Brother, tell me quickly that my mother is about to say my ear cocoon and forcing me to learn to do business every day."
Hu Chuyuan smiled again, and he said that such a funny person as Pinyuan would really miss the students.
He said, "You change your name and identity and go to Wanqi Yangxing as an apprentice. Start as an apprentice for me. You are not allowed to tell anyone your identity and do it well for me. I will send another master to secretly take care of you."
Hu Pinyuan looked embarrassed and said, "Aren't I a buyer... Brother, your idea is too bad?"
Hu Zhenyuan said, "What's wrong with the buyer? Xu Run is not a buyer? It's not the leader of Ningbo Buyers. Can Ningbo people have today? I think it's good. The relationship between Wanqi Yanghang and our family has always been good. The business is large and extensive, and there are many opportunities to exercise. Maybe it can be sent to Wanqi Bank in the future.
"Yes!"
Hu Chuyuan nodded and said to Hu Pinyuan, "When you finish an apprenticeship in a foreign bank for a year and follow the buyer to run the outer cabinet for a year, you go to the bank to learn to manage, and then do a small buyer for another three years. After six years of study, I will let you do your own business."
Hu Pinyuan smiled and said, "Well, it's okay to have a brother. Well, each of our three brothers has a way. I have to do the buyer, and I have to work hard by myself. Third brother, the second brother envies you!"
Hu Zhenyuan snorted disdain and said, "What are you envious of? I don't know if I can't get through as an official. What should I do if I don't? Why don't we change the two and I'll do business?"
Hu Pinyuan was puzzled and said, "How easy it is to be an official. I'm good at telling lies and telling lies all day long!"
They talked to each other, but Hu Chuyuan knew in his heart that the two brothers did not have a definite answer to their own future. Yuyu's life gave them a lot of choices, so they were confused.
At the beginning, Lao San was forced by his father-in-law He Jing to take the imperial examination and be a senior official to eliminate harm for the people. Now he is angry and finds that it is not easy to be an official.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but estimates that he can't get into the Jinshi exam.
This is a problem.
Hu Chuyuan has no choice. It's easy to raise people. If you cheat locally, there is no way to try.
Thinking of this, he said to his two brothers, "Well, I'll talk to a few aunts. I'm not in a hurry to send you an errand for the time being, let alone choose a way for you. You can do it by yourself. You can learn whatever you want, whether you are doing business or being an official. In fact, the truth is the same, that is, to look at people and use people to do things.
Hearing what he said, Hu Pinyuan and Hu Zhenyuan were very happy and muttered in the car.
Hu Chuyuan's meaning is very simple. It's better to let them take a reputation in Zhejiang first. This is not difficult. From the governor to the study of politics, they are all their own people.
At that time, if they want to be officials, their family will directly find a way to find a real job. If they want to do business, they still have to do it according to Hu Chuyuan's will. First, they will go to the foreign bank to work as an apprentice and helper for two years, and then do the outer cabinet and buying.
When the two of them were trained, Hu Chuyuan officially separated and gave them a sum of money to run their own business. If they made money, they would lose to Hu Chuyuan, the eldest brother.
If you are an official, the shares will be kept in the home industry to roll dividends.
Both of them were very happy to hear that, so they decided to do it first.
When the three brothers agreed on this matter, the car also arrived outside the gate of Baoguo Temple. Baoguo Temple has already been repaired, and compared with last year, the incense is much more prosperous.
The Hu family just invested another 80,000 taels of silver a few months ago, allowing the Baoguo Temple to build three new halls, and the area of the temple will also be expanded to double the original.
Even monks inevitably have to bend their waists for money. I heard that it was the Hu family who came to worship incense. The abbot, Zen Master Dazhi, came out to greet them in person, and also brought more than a dozen monks in robes. Almost all the monks in the courtyard poured out.
Hu Chuyuan is quite convinced of Buddhism, because the world of Buddhism is indeed magnificent and powerful, and it is extremely boundless in all religions.
After worshipping in Hu Xueyan's tomb and in the Gongde Temple, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but have a sense of fateful reincarnation in his heart.
It was Hu Xueyan who personally assisted Zuo Zongtang to establish the Fuzhou Shipping Administration. Now, it is his turn to solve the various ills left by the predecessors in the shipping administration. He wants to give Hu Xueyan and Zuo Zongtang a real explanation to make the Fuzhou Shipping Administration the strongest shipyard and naval school in Asia.
He knew that he could do it.
He also doesn't know about shipbuilding and navy, but he knows how to make money. No matter how Manchu people guard against it, he has a way to make Fuzhou's shipping administration self-sufficient.
Wrong.
He has a way to make the funding of Fuzhou Ship Administration explode and grow!!!
Looking at Hu Xueyan's portrait in the Gongde Temple, Hu Chuyuan silently said a lot of words in his heart that could really make Hu Xueyan feel at ease. For example, he will completely defeat Sheng Xuanhuai, but it will take some years. For example, he will really assist Zuo Zongtang and make Zuo Zongtang famous for thousands of years. For example, he will unify China. The silk tea industry; for example, he will take good care of the Hu family and make the Hu family a real financial chaebol...!
When he came out of the Gongde Temple, Hu Chuyuan's heart was very stable.
He doesn't want to sell Yufeng Grain Club anymore.
He thought, right? Just die.
Death is also a vigorous death!!
That's what he thought.The ups and downs and stumblings of the past year are really important to him. He has experienced too much and made him understand that there are not many things in China to make him difficult.
What's the difficulty of the Sino-French War, not to mention those things in the Fuzhou Ship Administration?
The French naval strength is second only to the British, with a total tonnage of 450,000 tons. Before the outbreak of the Battle of Mawei, France had a total of 52 ironclad ships, with an average displacement of 5,793 tons.
But Hu Chuyuan is not worried and not afraid.
The French are not worth worrying about, let alone themselves?
There is a world of difference between the Japanese version in 1895 and the Japanese version of 1927. You really don't need to pay too much attention to it. Although you don't have to be too demeaning, you don't have to overestimate it.
In fact, Hu Chuyuan is full of the situation of ** France and Japan... This is also possible. After all, he is a master of plotting others, and he also has a lot of time to prepare and plan step by step.
Of course, Hu Chuyuan knows that the most critical moment is at this time next year. Only after passing that level can China's economy be truly controlled by him.
He called that coming era the modern history of China, which is not short of money.
......
A few days later, Zheng Xitai and others came to Hangzhou to meet Hu Chuyuan, and Hua Yufang also arrived with six American technical consultants from the steel, shipbuilding, arms and other industries.
At the beginning of August 1879, the appointment of the ship government office finally arrived in Hangzhou. Through the participation of He Jing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the minister of ship administration in Fuzhou, the recommendation of Shen Baozhen, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the approval of the military government of the imperial court, Hu Chuyuan "signed" the transfer of Fuzhou ship administration in the name of the General Office of Jiangnan Commercial Bank - the treatment of the temporary surname. Ship administration and government affairs.
Of course, Hu Chuyuan also had to be affected by "Ding You", so this appointment was the internal affairs of the ship's government. The court was only responsible for approval, and there was no real shortage, let alone a specific grade.
This is a special appointment.
Fate seems to be a kind of reincarnation. What Shen Baozhen experienced in those years happened to Hu Chuyuan again.
After the formal appointment of the Qing court, Hu Chuyuan had to leave and leave for Fuzhou to take office.
Before leaving, he held 26 tables of banquets in Juxian Building, Hangzhou, invited shopkeepers, main accounts, sages and helpers from all over Zhejiang, and also gave everyone an additional salary to thank everyone for their performance and efforts in this year's silk acquisition.
After the banquet, Hu Chuyuan left Lu Sanyuan and talked about the future of Jiangnan Agricultural Cooperative all night. He hoped that Lu Sanyuan would continue to work hard and also added a discount stock to Lu Sanyuan in Jiangnan Agricultural Cooperative.
Next, in the early morning, Hu Chuyuan led his team to board the steamboat to Fuzhou.
In the ups and downs of the waves, the whine and the whistling of the sea breeze, Hu Chuyuan thought that the time to kill everywhere would come!
