Chapter 553: Cents (three shifts)

On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, just before the small year ago, Gu Jiu distributed dividends to the large and small shareholders of the Nanchengmenwai project looking through the autumn water.
The large and small shareholders who were notified all sent people to the courtyard of the city under the name of Huyang.
This other courtyard was originally used to raise funds for repairing the three major halls.
Later, in order to raise funds for the construction of cement roads, a buffet was organized, and the place became completely popular.
The other courtyard was named Xian Ren Ha, and it was really suitable for idlers.
Today's Xianren Habitat does not accept foreign visitors, but it is more lively than before.
Starting in the morning, carriages came in an endless stream.
There are shareholders who come to collect dividends in person and join in for a lively shareholder. Some housekeepers are also dispatched to receive dividends from shareholders with famous posts.
No matter who comes, as long as it is a shareholder, no matter how big or small, they are all warmly entertained.
In the hall, the buffet has already been prepared, just enjoy it.
One by one collapsed, filled with people.
The person presiding over the dividend ceremony today is Deng Cunli.
After several years of experience, he is no longer what he was when he first came out of the palace.
Today, he is still calm and reliable, and he is more energetic. Full of exhaustion like a young man.
He felt that he could do it for another twenty years.
He is very excited and proud of paying dividends today.
He is the project manager and one of the shareholders.
In their hands, the rotten place outside the southern city gate that everyone can't hide from has changed from a stubborn stone to a golden jade.
This sense of accomplishment is by no means comparable to being a errand in the palace.
He knocked on the small gong and attracted everyone's attention to himself.
"Shareholders, let's talk less gossip, is it better to pay dividends directly?"
"it is good!"
Princess Huyang slapped both hands.
The half-year ban was finally over. She can make waves again.
The first game caught up with the dividends. How could she miss this kind of excitement.
The face of the newly acquired little wolf dog appeared in the idler's house.
When everyone saw her present with her face, they were very contemptuous.
Huyang was content with it, and didn't care about the eyes of others.
Her little wolf dog is only twenty this year, and the male dog has a very strong waist.
She felt that she was with the little wolf dog, and she was ten years younger.
The blood of young men is indeed the most nourishing nutrient.
Huyang regarded a word uttered casually by a certain old doctor who did not repair it back then as the most famous saying.
The little wolf dog said that she wanted to learn more, so she would not refuse.
She slapped her hands and yelled loudly, "Good, good! Hurry up and pay dividends. The palace is still waiting for the silver New Year."
The shareholders, the supervisors sent by the shareholders, all looked back at Huyang.
Huyang laughed loudly, "Eat whatever you want, no money."
It's shameless.
Huyang did not pay for the buffet and act as the host. Want a face?
Deng Cunli laughed. He didn't mind Huyang's gag, just as active.
"Since everyone has no opinion, we will start to pay dividends now. For the sake of confidentiality, we will not talk about the specific amount of dividends. Everyone gets the receipts and knows it."
"I'm sorry! Let's just read it to make everyone happy."
Someone booed and wanted to show off. It is estimated that a lot of capital is invested, and a large dividend will be paid this year, so I naturally want to show up in front of others.
He is willing, but others are not.
All the money is not revealed, how can I say the amount of dividends casually.
You have to be voluntary.
"It depends on personal wishes. If you want to make it public, we don't stop it. But we have to respect the opinions of most people."
Deng Cunli insisted not to disclose the amount of dividends for each shareholder, which was also requested by Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's meaning is very clear. If you want to know the specific dividend amount, you go to the headquarters to check the accounts.
Dividends today are mixed with people, so how can you disclose the amount casually. This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor, are you really afraid of being targeted?
Gu Jiu had been guarding the Emperor Wen De in the palace.
Emperor Wen De is crazy, what if he wants to fight outside the South City Gate?
"Now we will start paying dividends. When you say your name, please speak, and our people will personally deliver the envelope to you."
Deng Cunli had a large stack of envelopes with the seal beside him.
The envelope contains the receipts, the receipts are anti-counterfeiting, and the amount on it is the dividend amount. You can directly get to the Shaofu Bank to exchange cash or silver tickets.
This is the first time everyone has seen this dividend method of not giving cash.
After the shareholders got the envelope, they tore open the seal and took out the documents inside.
Seeing the amount on the receipt, everyone showed an expression of surprise.
Along with the receipt, there is an appendix detail. It lists in detail how much money the parties have invested and what proportion. The general situation of each project is also listed.
The shareholders looked at the appendix and nodded secretly. Mrs. Xindaozhao does things appropriately. Never bully people based on their status.
The accounts to shareholders have always been clear. And at the end of each year, shareholders can also go to the headquarters of the firm to check their accounts.
The envelope was delivered to the Huyang princess, and Huyang could not wait to tore the seal and took out the receipt.
"Hahaha... the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law did not treat this palace badly."
Huyang's magical laughter resounded throughout the hall.
Countless men present, listening to this laughter, suddenly felt tight and painful in a certain position.
They don't know why there is such an illusion.
The men exchanged glances, all with lingering fears on their faces.
Sure enough, a woman like Huyang couldn't stand it.
Chen Luma died unjustly.
Chen Fuma sacrificed himself and saved thousands of men, hero!
And that little wolf dog who waits on Huyang's side is even more a hero!
Huyang kissed the receipt, the amount on it was too cute.
I really didn't expect that she could get tens of thousands of dividends.
It seems that the project outside Nanchengmen is still very profitable.
Huyang asked the little wolf dog, "What do you want? My palace will give it to you."
The little wolf dog is neither humble nor overbearing, shook his head, "Don't want anything small."
"Well, I will give you a surprise when this palace prepares the gift."
It seems that Princess Huyang really likes the little wolfdog.
I just don't know how long this love can last.
Everyone in the idler's residence was smiling.
Those stewards who were ordered to come to receive the dividends received the envelope and did not dare to open it privately. Instead, he hurried back to the mansion and handed it over to the owner.
On behalf of the Hou Mansion, Gu Mei took the envelope from the steward, tore it open, and took a breath.
"How come there are so many? Are the accounts wrong? I always hear people say that there is a gold swallowing beast outside the Nancheng Gate. Sister Xiao Jiu has borrowed several million taels from the Shaofu Bank for those refugees and houses. The interest is more than hundreds of thousands taels."
"It's not wrong, there is an appendix below, grandma can take a look at it in detail."
Gu Mei turned out the appendix, carefully compared it, and even took out an abacus to make detailed calculations.
"Mom, I didn't expect to make such money."
Gu Mei let out a sigh.
At the beginning, she voted less than ten thousand taels. But this time the dividend was six figures, far exceeding her investment.
She felt a little nervous, "Can you really make money like this?"
In just a few years, the return has been doubled, and she doesn't have to worry about it. This money is too easy.
The steward said: "The little one took a few glances over there. Someone invested a lot of money. This time just the dividends were seven or eighty thousand taels."
Gu Mei sighed and exclaimed, "No wonder people say that Sister Xiao Jiu is a lucky boy. With her ability, Hubu Shangshu also does it."
Small manager: "I'm afraid it's better than Hubu Shangshu."
Gu Mei laughed.
...
Gu Mei is not the only person who is happy and surprised.
The Gu family sisters all invested money into the project.
The fewest people, Gu Shan and Gu Lin, were little girls when they invested money. They only invested a few hundred taels, and this time they got doubled returns.
Gu Shan was very upset when he got the dividend.
"I only hate that I was too young and didn't have any money in my hands. I invested a little private money for my second sister. I didn't expect such a generous return. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."
Her husband Wei Qilang said: "It is rumored in the capital that Madam Zhao is a bit golden. You didn't invest any more money back then, and you really lost a lot."
"Hmph, you are still laughing at me. If I had money back then, how could I only vote for two hundred taels. My fifth sister Gu Lin, who has voted less than me, got a dividend today, I'm afraid I might cry and faint."
The couple teased each other a few words, and then went to the old lady's courtyard to ask for peace.
When they arrived at the old lady, the husband and wife knew that in those days, Lord Zhu Guo was the master and took money from the public and invested in the project outside the Nancheng Gate.
Today is the harvest day of the Zhu Guo government, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be paid in, and I don't worry about it at all.
This is a good thing, the whole government is happy.
Mrs. Zhu Guo joked, "I knew I had invested some money back then. I don't know if Madam Zhao needs any money?"
"The Shaofu Bank has opened up to provide her with money. She is probably not happy to ask for our money." The old lady said casually, and Mrs. Zhu Guo rested her mind.
...
In recent years, Gu Zhen has spent little money and made little income.
Relying on the two dowry shops in Zhuangzi, I can earn some pocket money every year.
Her husband Xu Saburo, because there is no money in the family, all his salary is paid to his father. She can't get a penny.
She wants to save money for her children, and after a few years, she didn't add a set of top jewelry to herself. All the money in the Zhuangzi shop was saved and kept for the children.
But on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, she had an unexpected surprise.
If Gu Jiu had not sent someone to inform her, she wouldn't know that today was the day for dividends.
When she tore open the envelope and saw the amount on the receipt, she called out "Wow".
She hurriedly covered her mouth again, for fear of being discovered.
She stared at the amount on the receipt, snickered with her mouth covered, and her body twitched.
She never dreamed that she could get such a large dividend, which was a few thousand taels.
That year, Yuhua Alley had the sweetness. When Gu Jiu raised funds for the second time, Gu Zhen gritted her teeth and kept a hundred taels, adding up all the cash on hand to two to three thousand taels, and all of them were invested. Gu Jiu.
Over the past few years, I did not expect such a generous return.
Oh my god, my second sister is simply her lucky star.
She was worried that she would not join hands with the money she had on hand, falling from the sky, a huge sum of money.
She stole music for a long time, and later found an excuse to go out of the house, and went to the Shaofu Bank to redeem the silver notes, but only a thousand taels of scattered silver notes.
Nowadays, the Shaofu bank deposits money, not only does not collect the money, but also gives depositors interest.
Gu Zhen thought whether he could get some interest money, so he deposited all the remaining money in the Shaofu Bank.
...
On this day, many people came to Shaofu Bank to exchange money with receipts.
Hou Mansion, Gu Mansion, Gu Family Sisters, Relatives, Wei Family, Pei Family, Ouyang Fu, Xiao Qin'er, some officials of the Ministry of Households, some officials of the Shao Mansion, the soldiers of the Five Cities...
very many.
In addition, Xiandi invested 300,000 taels in that year, making him the largest shareholder.
Emperor Wen De invested fifty thousand taels of private money in private. The palace took the account from the public and invested fifty thousand taels.
These three large investments have all reaped great returns.
It's just that how these three investments are handed over to the parties is a big problem.
On this day, Gu Jiu didn't go to the Xianrenju to join in the fun. She went to Shaofu and asked Shaofu Family Ling to tell her alive.
Shaofu Jialing was happy, looking at Gu Jiu, just like looking at gold ingots, shiny and golden.
Shaofu Jialing originally took out his coffin to support Gu Jiu's project. This time, of course, he has gained a lot.
"Can my ancestors stop treating me as a gold ingot, okay?" Gu Jiu couldn't bear the warm gaze from the young man's family, which was too scary.
The Young Master's Ling stroked his beard, "The old man looks at you, and he has become more and more magnificent."
Gu Jiu: Ha ha!
"It's natural to divide the money today. But the younger generation's heart is bleeding at this moment."
"Why is this?" Shao Fu Jia Ling puzzled.
Gu Jiu asked: "Old ancestors can remember that the first emperor invested 300,000 taels to Nancheng Gate."
Shaofu Family Ling suddenly realized that he certainly remembered this account.
Because these three hundred thousand taels were taken from Shaofu.
Gu Jiu asked, "My ancestors taught me how to pay this money?"
