第三五九章 自有分寸

“大人这话可是折杀下官了。”刘光斗连忙陪着笑道：“英夷舰队来去如风，虽然是盘踞在广州外洋，但东南沿海各府县官员今年怕是都不敢安心休假，招募义勇，保境安民，乃是下官职责所在，份内之事，份内之事。”
易知足看了他一眼，随口问道：“上海县城有多少人口？”
人口？刘光斗不由的一楞，县城人口户数，土地田亩、赋税、城防、邮驿之类的都是一个知县必须要熟知的，可问题是他接任时间不长，又想着调离避祸，哪里知道这些个详细的数据，搜肠刮肚想了半天，他才讪讪的道：“回大人，上海这一年换了三任知县，下官接任时日短，对于上海未能了然于胸，隐约记的似乎是六千余户，但上海外来人众，人口远超一般大县，估摸着在七八万左右。”
一年时间三换知县？易知足略微一想就明白过来，如今东南沿海府县做官已经成了高风险，一众官员都是千方百计的调离，他似笑非笑的道：“刘大人该不会是也想着调离吧？”
“不敢有瞒大人。”刘光斗很是光棍的道：“非是下官不想调离，而是没有门路，有门路也不会调任上海来了。”
这家伙倒是实诚，略微沉吟，易知足才道：“塞翁失马，焉知非福？刘大人也无须沮丧，就当是为身家性命着想，为仕途前程着想，竭心尽力办差，漂亮话我不会说，只一句，咱们祸福与共。”
这一句话可比什么漂亮话都更让他安心。刘光斗连忙拱手道：“谢大人。”略微迟疑，他才道：“元奇上海分行开张，下官是前祝贺的。”说着，就从袖子里抽出一张礼单。
易知足摆了摆手，道：“刘大人忘了本官另外一个身份了？本官不缺银子，做这官，也不是为了发财，礼就不用送了，以后年节，冰炭敬什么的，都不要送礼。”
听他如此说，刘光斗讪讪的道：“大人为官即便不为发财，也不能亏本不是，这一年到头，也总的要孝敬上司。”
易知足不以为意的道：“亏本生意，本官自然不会做，本官的上司孝敬的人多，少了本官这一份，也不打紧。”
刘光斗听的一楞，不收孝敬，也不孝敬上司，这官做的倒是洒脱，可问题是，如此做官，能做的长久？他心里纳闷，却也不敢多问，对方可不是才入官场的新人，元奇大掌柜做了这些年，他能不知道官场的这些猫腻？敢如此做，必然是有所依仗，这事可不是他能问的。
讪讪的将礼单收了回来，他忍不住提醒道：“大人应该知道，朝廷有明令，官员不得经商吧。”
易知足听的一笑，道：“刘大人且放心，本官自有分寸。”
太平街，上海县城最大最繁华热闹的街道，元奇上海分行就坐落在太平街中段，一溜六间门脸，既气派又装饰的富丽堂皇，这地方是严世宽在英军入城之前，乘着兵荒马乱之时买下的，否则在平时，有钱也难买，在得知易知足实授上海道之后，他就紧锣密鼓的开始装修，准备着开业。
宽阔的大堂里满是前来恭贺的宾客，元奇上海分行掌柜严世宽满面笑容的站在大门恭迎前来道贺的宾客，在上海混迹三年，有头有面的士绅商贾他几乎都能一口叫的出名字，见的前来的宾客不少，尤其是各个会馆公所的当家人都先后到来，他心里总算是暗松了口气。
说实在的，身为上海分行掌柜，他压力着实不分行开张，宾客多少直接关系到元奇能否顺利在上海打开局面，站稳脚跟，虽然易知足是上海道，但元奇在两江的影响力他担心上海这些个士绅商贾不卖易知足这个新道台的面子，更担心上海钱业公所捣乱，出面阻止各会馆公所前来道贺，他根本不知道，易知足演了一出单刀赴会，独自去了钱业公所一趟。
“商船会馆，王馆主一行前来道贺。”听的唱名，严世宽连忙笑着迎了上前，沈晚香、郁泰峰、王仁伯几人中规中矩拱手笑道：“恭喜。”
王桐春却是笑道：“还真是没想到，严掌柜竟然是元奇的人，失敬失敬。”
“让王馆主见笑了。”严世宽说着拱手还礼，随后伸手道：“诸位，里面请。”
一边走，王桐春一便轻声道：“听闻易大人引见到任了，改日，还的请严掌柜为咱们引见引见。”
听的这话，易知足才反应过来，上海道还兼管着江海关，对方这话可不是客气话，他连忙道：“待忙过这几日，一定为诸位引见。”
话才落音，就听的礼官长声道：“商船会馆，贺银一万两。”
一万两贺礼，这出手也忒大了，严世宽连忙拱手笑道：“诸位心意，元奇心领了，不过，咱们大掌柜有吩咐，一律不收礼，这笔银子，在下代商船会馆开户存上。”
不收贺礼？王桐春看了沈晚香、郁泰峰、王仁伯几人一眼，心里暗笑，合着商议了半天，人家根本就不收礼，郁泰峰却白了沈晚香一眼，他提议送两万，却被生生砍了一半，瞧这事办的，亏大了。
将众人让进大堂，严世宽赶紧揉了揉笑的有些发酸的脸，虽说是不收礼，但却借着这个机会让前来的宾客在分行开了户头，对于一般的贺礼来说，是分行赚了，但一万两的贺礼，这亏吃的有点大，得跟大掌柜说说。未完待续。
