On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, just before the eve of the year, Gu Jiu distributed dividends to the large and small shareholders of the long-awaited Nanchengmenwai project.
The large and small shareholders who were notified all sent people to the other courtyard in the city under the name of Huyang.
This other courtyard was originally used to raise funds for the repair of the three main halls.
Later, to raise funds for cement road repairs, a buffet was held, and the place became a complete hit.
The other courtyard is named Idle People's Habitat, so it is really suitable for idlers.
Today, the Idle People's House does not accept outsiders, but it is more lively than before.
Since the morning, the horse-drawn carriages have been arriving in an endless stream.
There are shareholders who come to receive dividends in person and join in the fun by the way. There are also family stewards who are dispatched to collect dividends from shareholders with name cards.
No matter who comes, as long as it is a shareholder, no matter how big or small, they will all be warmly entertained.
In the hall, the buffet has already been prepared, and you can enjoy it casually.
One by one collapsed, full of people.
The person presiding over the dividend distribution 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 he could do another twenty years.
He is very excited and proud of the dividend today.
He is the project director and one of the shareholders.
In their hands, the rotten place outside the South City Gate, where everyone can't hide, has changed from a stubborn stone to a golden jade.
This sense of accomplishment is definitely not comparable to working as a servant in the palace.
He knocked on the small gong to attract everyone's attention to himself.
"Shareholders, let's stop gossiping and share dividends directly?"
"it is good!"
Princess Huyang clapped her hands.
The six-month ban is finally over. She can come out to roam again.
The first game caught up with the dividends. How could she miss this excitement.
He appeared in the idler's house with the newly acquired little wolf dog Miantou.
When everyone saw her attending with a mask, they all looked down upon her.
Hu Yang was enjoying himself, and didn't care about other people's eyes at all.
Her little wolf dog is only twenty this year, and the male dog has a very strong waist.
She felt like she was ten years younger when she was with the little wolf dog.
The blood essence of a young man is indeed the most nourishing nutrient.
Hu Yang regarded a sentence casually said by an old and unrefined imperial physician back then as the most reasonable saying.
The little wolf dog said he wanted to come out to learn more, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
She slapped her hands and shouted loudly, "Okay! Hurry up and pay the dividends. I'm still waiting for the silver for the Chinese New Year."
All the shareholders and the stewards sent by the shareholders all looked back at Huyang.
Hu Yang laughed loudly, "Eat whatever you want, no money required."
It's just smelly and shameless.
It's not that she, Huyang, pays for the buffet and acts as the host. Do you want face
Deng Cunli laughed. He didn't mind Hu Yang's gags, so he just made the atmosphere lively.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's start paying dividends now. For the sake of confidentiality, we will not disclose the specific amount of dividends. Everyone gets the receipt and knows it."
"That's so embarrassing! Let's read it aloud to make everyone happy."
Some people booed and wanted to show off. It is estimated that I have invested a lot of capital, and I can get a large dividend this year, so I naturally want to show off in front of others.
He is willing, but others are not.
It's all about not revealing the money, so how can you casually say the amount of dividends.
It has to be voluntary.
"It depends on personal wishes. If you want to make it public, we will not stop it. But we must respect the opinions of most people."
Deng Cunli insisted not to disclose the dividend amount of each shareholder, which was also requested by Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's meaning was very clear, if he wanted to know the exact amount of dividends, he went to the headquarters to check the accounts.
Today's dividends are distributed, and the personnel are mixed, so how can we disclose the amount casually. This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, aren't you afraid of being targeted
Gu Jiu was always on guard against Emperor Wende in the palace.
Emperor Wende is poor and crazy, what if he wants to make an idea outside the Nancheng Gate
"The dividends will start now. When you read the name, please squeak, and our people will personally deliver the envelope to everyone."
Deng Cunli had a large stack of sealed envelopes by his hand.
The envelope contains the receipt, which is anti-counterfeit, and the amount on it is the dividend amount. It can be directly exchanged for cash or banknotes at the Shaofu Bank.
This is the first time everyone has seen this method of dividends that does not pay cash.
After the shareholders got the envelope, they couldn't wait to tear open the seal and take out the documents inside.
Seeing the amount on the receipt, everyone showed a surprised expression.
Along with the documents, there is also a detailed appendix. It lists in detail how much money the parties have invested and what the proportion is. The general situation of each project is also listed.
The shareholders looked at the appendix and nodded secretly. Xin Dao ordered his wife to do things properly. Never bully people based on status.
The accounts for shareholders have always been clear. And at the end of each year, shareholders can also go to the headquarters of the firm to check the accounts.
The envelope was delivered to Princess Huyang, and Huyang couldn't wait to tear open the seal and take out the receipt.
"Hahaha... the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law did not treat me badly."
Huyang's devilish laughter resounded throughout the hall.
Countless men present, hearing this laughter, suddenly felt their whole body tense up, and a certain position hurt.
Why there is such an illusion, they don't know.
The men exchanged glances with each other, all with lingering fears on their faces.
Sure enough, a woman like Huyang is unbearable for most people.
Chen Consort died unjustly.
Concubine Chen sacrificed himself to save thousands of men, hero!
And the little wolf dog who waits by Huyang's side is even more of a hero!
Hu Yang kissed the receipt, the amount on it was so cute.
I really didn't expect that she could have tens of thousands of taels of dividends.
It seems that the project outside the South City Gate is still very profitable.
Hu Yang asked the little wolf dog, "What do you want? I give it to you."
The little wolf dog was neither humble nor overbearing, shook his head, "You don't want anything."
"Okay, I will give you a surprise after I prepare the gift."
It seems that Princess Huyang really likes the little wolf dog.
I just don't know how long this love will last.
Everyone in Idle House is smiling.
Those stewards who were ordered to come to collect the dividends did not dare to open the envelopes without permission. Instead, he hurried back to the mansion and handed it over to the master.
In Daihou's Mansion, Gu Mei took the envelope from the steward, tore it open, and took a deep breath.
"Why are there so many? Are the accounts miscalculated? I always heard people say that there is a gold-swallowing beast outside the gate of the south city. Little sister Xiaojiu borrowed several million taels from the Shaofu Bank for the sake of those refugees and houses. The interest is hundreds of thousands of taels."
"That's right, there is an appendix below, the young mistress can read it in detail."
Gu Mei dug out the appendix, compared it carefully, and even took out an abacus to calculate carefully.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect to make so much money."
Gu Mei let out a sigh of emotion.
She invested less than 10,000 taels in the beginning. But this time, the dividend was six figures, far exceeding her investment.
She felt a little uneasy, "Can you really make money like this?"
In just a few years, the return has been doubled, and she doesn't need to worry about it. The money came too easily.
The steward said: "The little one took a sneak peek over there. Some people invested a lot of money. This time, there are seventy or eighty thousand taels just for dividends."
Gu Mei sighed, "No wonder others say that little sister Xiao Jiu is a boy who recruits money. With her ability, the Minister of the Household Department also does it."
The small manager: "I'm afraid it's better than the Minister of the Household Department."
Gu Mei laughed.
…
Gu Mei is not the only one who is happy and surprised.
The Gu family sisters invested money into the project at the beginning.
The least people, Gu Shan and Gu Lin, who were young girls when they invested, only invested a few hundred taels, and they both got doubled returns this time.
Gu Shan was very annoyed when she got the dividend.
"I just hate that I was too young and had no money. I donated a little money from my private house to my second sister. I didn't expect such a rich 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 Mrs. Zhao is a bit of a gold hand. You didn't invest a little more back then, and you really lost a lot."
"Hmph, you're still laughing at me. If I was rich back then, why would I only vote for two hundred taels. Fifth sister Gu Lin, who voted less than me, is getting a dividend today. I'm afraid I'm going to faint from crying."
The husband and wife teased each other a few words, and then went to the old lady's courtyard to pay their respects.
When they arrived at the old lady's place, the husband and wife knew that Zhu Guogong was the master and took the money from the prince to invest in the project outside the Nancheng Gate.
Today is the harvest day for Zhu Guogong's mansion, tens of thousands of taels of silver came into the account, and they didn't worry about it at all.
This is such a good thing, the whole house is happy.
Mrs. Zhu Guogong was joking, "I knew that I would invest some money back then. I don't know if Mrs. Zhao still needs money?"
"The Shaofu Bank is open to provide her with money, and she probably won't want our money." The old lady said something casually, and Mrs. Zhu Guogong gave up her thoughts.
…
In recent years, Gu Zhen has had little expenses and little income.
Relying on the two Zhuangzi shops that I married as a dowry, I can earn some pocket money every year.
Her husband Xu Sanlang, because the family has no money, all the salary is handed over to the public. She can't get a penny.
She wanted to save money for her child, but after a few years, she didn't add a set of jewelry for herself. All the money in Zhuangzi's shop was saved and left to the children.
But on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, she received an unexpected surprise.
If Gu Jiu hadn't sent someone to notify her, she wouldn't have known that today was the day of dividends.
When she tore open the envelope and saw the amount on the receipt, she exclaimed "Wow".
She quickly covered her mouth again, for fear of being discovered.
She stared at the amount on the receipt, covered her mouth and snickered, her whole body twitching.
She never dreamed that she could get such a large dividend, which was several thousand taels.
Back then, Yuhua Lane had a sweet spot. When Gu Jiu raised funds for the second time, Gu Zhen gritted her teeth and kept a hundred taels. Gu Jiu.
A few years later, I did not expect such a huge return.
God, god, the second sister is her lucky star.
She was worrying that she could not get enough money on hand, and a huge sum of money fell from the sky.
She secretly had fun for a long time, and then found an excuse to leave the mansion, and went to the Shaofu bank to exchange the silver notes, but only exchanged a thousand taels of broken silver notes.
Today, the Shaofu Bank not only does not collect money when depositing money, but also pays interest to depositors.
Gu Zhen thought it would be good to get some interest money, so she deposited the rest of the money in Shaofu Bank.
…
On this day, there were quite a few people who took the receipts and went to the Shaofu Bank to exchange money.
Hou's Mansion, Gu's Mansion, Gu's sisters, relatives, Duke Zhu's Mansion of Wei's, Pei's, Ouyang Fu, Xiao Qin'er, some officials from the Household Department, some officials from the Shaofu, Wucheng Bingmasi...
very many.
In addition, the first emperor invested 300,000 taels back then, making him the largest shareholder.
Emperor Wende invested 50,000 taels of money from his private house in private. The Wangfu took the money from the public and invested 50,000 taels.
These three large-scale investments have all reaped great returns.
It's just that how to hand over these three investments to the parties is a big problem.
On this day, Gu Jiu didn't go to the Idle House to join in the fun, she went to the Young Mansion and asked the Young Mansion's family order to make a living.
The Shaofu's family was very happy, looking at Gu Jiu, it was like looking at a gold ingot, shining golden.
At the beginning, the Shaofu Jialing took out his own coffin to support Gu Jiu's project, so of course he gained a lot this time.
"Can the old ancestor stop treating me as a gold ingot, okay?" Gu Jiu couldn't bear the enthusiastic gaze of the Shaofu's family order, it was too scary.
The Shaofu's family order stroked his beard, "The old man looks more and more dignified watching you."
Gu Jiu: Hehe!
"It's natural to divide the money today. But the younger generation's heart is bleeding right now."
"Why is this?" The Shaofu family was puzzled.
Gu Jiu asked: "The ancestors remember that the late emperor invested 300,000 taels to the south gate of the city."
The Shaofu family order suddenly realized, of course he remembered this account.
Because the 300,000 taels were paid from the Shaofu.
Gu Jiu asked: "My ancestor taught me, how should I pay this money?"
