Chapter 373 Business
Qin Chi noticed it at home.
Neighbors came to inquire about the family, and most of them were sent away by old man Hong, the concierge. Of course, the Qin family did have guests, such as Lu Yanji and Lu Bozhou.
Yan Xianqing also came.
Surprisingly, Xia Wei also came uninvited.
Qin Chi set up a banquet to entertain them. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he made tea and started chatting.
Yan Xianqing picked up the tea and asked, "When is Qi'an going to report to the Ministry of Industry?"
"I have to go to the Dali Temple tomorrow to hand over the matters at hand, including the matters at the Hanlin Academy... Lord Yan, I am thinking whether I should resign? Otherwise, people will see that I don't go there often and make irresponsible remarks." Qin Chi asked modestly.
Yan Xianqing waved his hand, "No, no, the Hanlin Academy is not busy anyway, you can just show up every now and then. If anyone has any objections, tell them to come to me."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Yan."
Qin Chi naturally understood that the other party was just being polite.
Asking him to go to the Hanlin Academy every three to five days is, of course, not just a matter of showing up. He still has to do what he is supposed to do, but he can ask his colleagues for help, or let the subordinates take charge and then report to him afterwards.
To their status.
Many things can be done with just one sentence and let the people below do it on your behalf.
Xia Wei said, "Everyone has been busy lately, and the Ministry of Works is probably the same. Sir Qin should go to the Ministry of Works as soon as possible."
“I had the same idea.”
Qin Chi knew that the other party was giving a good reminder.
The war in the northwest has made the officials in the court busy, and the affairs at hand have increased a lot. The Ministry of Industry alone is currently focusing on the manufacture of weapons. Otherwise, Qin Chi was parachuted into the position of Shangshu. In addition, the left and right assistant ministers who were trying to rise in the ranks would not suddenly hear the news and lose their composure for a while.
After sitting for a cup of tea, they stood up and said goodbye.
Qin Chi politely saw the person out the door.
I unexpectedly saw Dong Xingde at the door, as well as his colleagues who had come to his house to inquire about the news. When they bumped into each other unexpectedly, several colleagues immediately came forward to say hello.
Everyone is still very sensible.
After just a few pleasantries, they went back home.
Qin Chi went back to the backyard and saw Song Jin accompanying his youngest son and daughter. He went over and picked up Niuniu, "Daughter, do you miss daddy?"
"Yes!"
The little girl who was picked up giggled with joy.
Song Jin joked, "When did you think about it? You were having so much fun just now."
"Niuniu is wondering what daddy is eating." The childish voice was full of regret.
She looked as if she hadn't eaten.
Song Jin was amused.
Qin Chi now held his daughter in his arms and walked towards the couch, "Come on, before you go to sleep, Daddy will teach you to practice calligraphy for a while. When you can practice your calligraphy beautifully, your mother will not say that your handwriting is ugly anymore."
"Okay." Niu Niu was very happy.
Song Jin watched the father and daughter interact.
Such warm scenes are rare. Qin Chi seems leisurely in the eyes of outsiders, but he is actually very busy and does not have much time to spend with his family. Song Jin lowered his head and looked at his youngest son who had just eaten.
After a while.
The child fell asleep, and Song Jin handed him over to Mrs. Huang.
Mrs. Huang took the child to the next room.
Mu Ting came over to Song Jin's ear and whispered a few words. Song Jin's smile faded and his eyebrows knitted slightly. "Do you know who is behind this?"
"Manager Xing has investigated and said that the Zhang family of Cunyi Money House is behind this." Mu Ting reported the news she had just received to Song Jin.
Xing Lun has arrived in the capital with his caravan. He is currently at the Zhangjiawan Canal Dock. He asked Mu Ting to pass on a message saying that they have encountered many obstacles in collecting medicinal materials recently. Several merchants and some herbal farmers have broken their contracts for the medicinal materials that were originally agreed upon. It is better for those who have signed contracts, and they can still get the compensation they deserve. It is troublesome for those who have verbal agreements, and the losses are more than a little bit.
Ever since the head of Huizhou Cunyi Bank embezzled the money of the Song family, even after the money was taken back, Song Jin still did not cooperate with Cunyi Bank. They had been living in peace and had no intersection, so why did the Zhang family suddenly attack Ji Fang?
Song Jin couldn't think of when they had offended the Zhang family again. "Let someone investigate when we had offended the Zhang family. If they can't find out, forget it. There's no need to be obsessed with the drug dealers and farmers who broke the contract. In business, if they want to cooperate with you, then cooperate. If they don't, there's nothing we can do. But once bitten, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years. Within ten years, Jifang will refuse to cooperate with anyone who has breached the contract, including his family."
Mu Ting was stunned after hearing this, "Wouldn't our losses be even greater this way?"
Not to mention the drug dealers who breached the contract.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The influence of herbal farmers is huge. Generally, there will be more than one or two herbal collectors or farmers among the same ethnic group in a village.
Song Jin's behavior was undoubtedly because of one person, but he wanted to overturn the entire group of people with one stick.
This is very unbusinesslike.
However, Song Jin still decided to do so. "When the signs emerge, give up what should be given up. If you hesitate, you will only lose more in the future. Just pass on the words to Xing Lun truthfully. He will know what to do after hearing it."
Mu Ting responded respectfully and went out.
Suddenly, Qin Chi's voice came from behind: "Madam, do you want to shrink your business?"
Song Jin turned around and looked at Qin Chi.
Looking behind him again, he found Niuniu was writing seriously with a brush at the small square table on the low couch.
Song Jin said casually: "That's not the case, but if others want to rob it, let them rob it. I don't care about what can be robbed."
"Don't force yourself." Qin Chi still looked worried.
Song Jin said speechlessly: "You don't believe it? I will lose a sum of money initially by doing this, but it will be more beneficial to the subsequent development of Jifang. It can eliminate some partners with bad character, and then use it to warn people and let them see the consequences of betrayal."
"Madam, do you really believe that the person who breaks the contract will regret it?" Qin Chi sat down opposite Song Jin, waiting for her next words with a smile.
"In the medicinal materials industry, Jifang has been able to develop so quickly not only because of its good medicinal materials, but also because it has always been fair and honest. It also treats farmers the best and never defaults on their settlement payments."
In business, Song Jin was deeply influenced by his father and continued the Song family's practices in many things. Some of his actions were considered stupid in the eyes of his peers, but were extremely beneficial to herbal farmers.
"Do you still remember that when my family was searched, many people discovered that most of my medicinal fields were in the names of herbal farmers?" Song Jin suddenly asked.
Qin Chi had naturally heard of it, "I remember. Many people say that the Song family is kind."
He didn't say that more people were calling the Song family stupid.
The good medicinal fields are actually registered under the names of the medicinal farmers.
This made it impossible for the government to seize the property, and some people who were waiting to share the Song family's profits were unable to gain much advantage, and they kept cursing for a long time.
