Chapter 245 Maoshengyuan Restoration
The seven-year apocalypse is a bumper year for the sea wolf. Because of the results of this battle, the sea wolf has achieved unprecedented development.
The failure of the Fujian official made the Fujian official completely lose the capital to continue to deal with the sea wolf. After the armistice, it has been completely honest.
More than a month after the two sides finalized, the silver compensation began to be delivered to the sea wolf in batches, and Yu Xiaotian also withdrew a large number of ships moving along the coast, and also withdrew the army deep on land to Xiamen Island.
The violently turbulent coast of Fujian gradually returned to calm after February, which was seven years after the apocalypse.
The pavements of Maoshengyuan merchants seized by the government on land began to be unblocked in February. Those Maoshengyuan clerks and shopkeepers who had been arrested or fled before returned to the store one by one arrogantly.
Li Yi also returned to Fuzhou City in an gorgeous sedan chair in early February, escorted by a group of people.
When Li Yi returned to Fuzhou City, many local businessmen and even officials welcomed Li Yi's return outside the city gate. Li Yi's current identity has actually been completely semi-publicized.
As long as people who deal with Mao Shengyuan know that Li Yi is actually the spokesperson of the sea wolf on land now. If they were in the past, after knowing this, they may be afraid of Li Yi and may not even dare to deal with him easily.
But now, Li Yi has become a hot figure, because strength is a pass wherever it is placed. The strength that broke out in this confrontation with Fujian officials has made everyone look sideways.
Anyone knows very well that the Fujian government has been defeated this time, and even for many years, it can no longer threaten the existence of sea wolves. With such a backing to protect Li Yi, now Li Yi can basically walk horizontally in Fujian, and few people dare to do anything to him.
And everyone knows that after this war, the whole coast of Fujian has been included in the bag of sea wolves, and many merchants who go to sea to do business in Fujian are like cattle. If anyone offends the sea wolf, then he will not want to do business in the future, so at this time, as long as there are people who can get a little bit of it, they will rush to If you praise Li Yi's scene, at least you will be familiar with him first, and it will be easy to talk in the future.
So this time Li Yi returned to Fuzhou and greeted a large number of people, even catching up with the scale of the new governor. It can be seen that the reputation of the sea wolf has reached.
After all, Li Yi is a businessman. Although he has been branded with a thief now, Li Yi feels that this brand is really worth it. Not only does it not affect his reputation, but it has become a kind of glory for him.
He was very lucky that many years ago, he chose to cooperate with Yu Xiaotian, and when Xiaotian's strength soared, he took the initiative to tie himself to Yu Xiaotian's warship and share his fate with him.
If Li Yi used to be a slightly famous businessman in Fuzhou, then now Li Yi has become the hottest businessman in the southeast. If he had not done so at the beginning, it is estimated that he is at most wandering in small circles as before, and it is impossible to be today. Such a scenery.
So Li Yi is in a good mood now, but he is not so, so he forgets and his nostrils are facing the sky.
When he saw so many heavy officials and businessmen welcoming him outside the gate of Fuzhou, Li Yi did not ask for it. From afar, he quickly ordered people to get off the sedan chair, walked out of the sedan chair, and walked to the crowd that greeted him.
Although there is no heavyweight official among these people, because after all, Li Yi's identity is relatively embarrassing, and this time the government lost a disgrace. If the officials do not avoid suspicion and come to welcome Li Yi in person, they may be caught by their braids and become their stain in the future.
Therefore, officials naturally dare not do this easily, but they dare not come to welcome Li Yi back to Fuzhou City in person, which does not mean that they did not say that almost every heavyweight officials in Fuzhou sent their staff or some distant relatives. They were inconvenient to come forward, so they asked these people to represent them. Come forward, so as not to offend Li Yi in the future.
Now to offend Li Yi is actually to offend Xiaotian and offend the whole sea wolf. Now everyone who is an official in Fujian has more or less nothing to do with Tonghai trade? Therefore, if you can establish some private relationship with Li Yi at this time, at least you will have the opportunity to get some benefits from the sea trade business in the future.
Li Yi has a good memory. He often remembers his name and origin when he sees people face to face or twice, which is a good capital for his business. In the past, he used his advantage to have a good relationship with the official. In addition, he is always used to writing a diary no matter how late he goes to sleep every night. Record all the important things and people you met that day, and you have to read them to avoid forgetting them.
So for the people who greeted him outside the city gate today, Li Yi can name almost everyone, at least you can see who stands behind them.
Li Yi did not support these people. According to the order they arranged, he greeted them one by one, and did not turn a deaf ear to them because some people were weaker and ranked behind.
Li Yi can be said to be profiable in doing this kind of thing. If Yu Xiaotian is allowed to do this kind of thing, it will definitely make him dizzy and annoying.
So over the years, Yu Xiaotian has always believed that everyone has their own strengths. As long as they are placed in the right position, they are all useful. Li Yi is obviously the most suitable person to do this thing.
When I saw Li Yi meet them so peacefully, everyone present secretly praised themselves. At least I felt that the sea wolf was not so easy to deal with. As long as I cooperated with them in the future, there would be no shortage of benefits.
When Li Yi finally returned to the Maoshengyuan general shop where he had left, he saw that someone had prepared firecrackers. As soon as he appeared, he lit firecrackers. On the street of Maoshengyuan general shop, it immediately became noisy. The neighbors, including some idlers in the city, gathered around to see the heat. Noisy.
Many people are chatting from afar;
"Look, that is Li Yi, the general manager of Maoshengyuan. He represents the sea wolf! Tut! Look at the scenery of others. This shop has been raided by the government, and it can still be sent back to them. Awesome! It's really awesome!
This time, the government kicked the iron plate, and the standard chicken stealing can't eat rice! Hey hey! Let's see who dares to provoke this prosperous source in the future!"
"Yes! Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that the sea wolf was going to end this time, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. So many officers and soldiers are not their opponents! From now on, Fujian Sea, it's up to them! How much money does this have to make!"
Just as Li Yi walked back to Maoshengyuan, a large number of people knelt down outside the shop. These people all looked at Li Yi with eager eyes and saluted Li Yi one after another.
Li Yi saw that these people who greeted him were all former staff or stewiddiners of Mao Shengyuan. In the first few months, these people were temporarily dismissed and hid. Many people thought that it was impossible to return to Maoshengyuan to work in the future, but they didn't expect that after only a few months, Li Yi actually came back.
Even the shop of Mao Shengyuan, which had been raided, was returned to them by the government. Some people got the news early and came back to clean up the pavement, waiting for Li Yi's return.
It is undoubtedly a good thing for these guys and stewers to work in Maoshengyuan, because the wages given to them by Maoshengyuan basically far exceed the wages offered by his peers to the staff, and in addition to monthly money for Maoshengyuan, he will also give him before the Spring Festival every year. We have a lot of holiday money, and there are some irregular bonuses during the three holidays every year.
Some elderly people who work for Maoshengyuan are also guaranteed that when they can't work one day, they don't have to worry about old-age care. Maoshengyuan will bear their old-age problems and give some subsidies every month as usual, at least to ensure that they will lose their ability to work when they get old and will not lose their income. , which seriously affects their quality of life.
With these guarantees, Mao Shengyuan's guys have deep feelings for here. When they learned that Mao Shengyuan was going to be raided by the government, many people even wanted to cry with heartache.
Now it's finally sunny after the rain, and Mao Shengyuan is going to open again. Many former clerks and stewards rushed back when they heard the news.
In the past few months, they were all worried and hid for fear that the government would arrest them. However, when they learned of the great victory of the sea wolf, the government immediately stopped chasing them. After the Spring Festival, they could wander in the street. Even if the servants saw them, they did not dare to arrest them again, and even some officials The servants took the initiative to say hello when they saw them to show their kindness.
During the dissolution of Maoshengyuan, some former staff of Maoshengyuan were arrested by the government, suffered a lot in prison, and even died. However, more than ten days ago, these captured Maoshengyuan's staff were quietly released from their cells, and even gave them a few money to let them go out for a rest. Down.
Soon after these people came out, someone picked them up and placed them in a clean residence for them to recuperate them. As for those who were disabled, they sent Langzhong to treat their diseases and injuries, and also gave them a subsidy to ensure that they would take care of them for the rest of their lives regardless of their disability. Absolutely make their lives worry-free.
As for individual guys who were killed, beaten to death or tortured to death by the government, the sea wolf also sent people to their home, gave them a real pension, and agreed to place their children and relatives, and then work in Maoshengyuan.
In this way, after the news spread, the guys of Maoshengyuan were all grateful, and naturally became more determined to work with Maoshengyuan in the future.
