Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 156
"You little bastard! Why didn't you give such a good idea to your father earlier? If it were used in our tavern, wouldn't it be able to make a lot of money? You only know how old you are when you turn your elbows out? What a waste I will hurt you!"

That grievance of Xue Hong, he thought to himself, father, did you eat something unclean or did your uncle come here recently?Why are you so excited and always beating and swearing?
"Well...Father, do you really think this design is good for our family? Don't say that this pile of things is too unconventional. It will definitely attract people's attention when it is made out, and even the huge amount of money it earns will be subject to all kinds of problems. Coveting. We are businessmen, but we can’t be too rich. Isn’t Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty rich enough? Didn’t he still arouse Zhu Yuanzhang’s jealousy, lost most of his family wealth, sent him to Yunnan, and died in Yunnan? Don’t you only care about the generations? Wealthy and rich, but not thinking about future generations?"

"This……"

"No matter how rich you are, you can't be richer than the imperial court. Our family's wealth must be rewarded from above, not earned by ourselves. If it is rewarded from above, even if we are richer than the sky, it is the emperor's grace. As it should be, no one can use this as an excuse, no matter how jealous they are, they can’t use it as an excuse to frame and murder our family. Is it true that only Shen Wansan’s family was so rich that the court chased them to death? Could it be that those bloody lessons Isn’t it profound enough? If our family earns a lot of money, and the higher-ups randomly accuse us of crimes, we can’t help it, and the property will be confiscated in an instant, and it will be too late to say anything.”

These words were like enlightenment, which made Xue Yi react immediately.

Although they are now working with the fourth elder brother, whether voluntarily or semi-forced, what the fourth elder brother is seeking is the supreme position, and he will be the emperor in the future.They are a merchant in the Xue family area, and it is fine to come up with ideas and make contributions. If they are too rich, Yinzhen will directly ask for requisition, and their Xue family will hand over all the hard-earned silver.

And regardless of whether Yinzhen succeeds in the end, don't even think about turning back the money you took out. Could it be that you are going to ask for a debt from an emperor?What will he pay you back?State tax?Are you not afraid of being labeled as a traitor and traitor?

And how much money is taken out is also very terrible.

If you take too much, people will think that you are a rare commodity and treat you as an ATM, asking you for money as soon as you need it, like a bottomless pit; if you take less, people will think that you are not worth it. It's not true, you have such a good money-making idea, but you are so stingy to take out such a small amount of money, where do you send the beggar?Or is your family going to keep the money for plotting against others?

Therefore, no matter what kind of family it is, if you choose to be the treasury of the emperor's family, all your wealth will be squeezed out in the end, and even the way you make money will be branded as exclusive to the royal family. Being kept in captivity by the royal family, the worst ones will directly arrange an unwarranted charge for your family, and you have to listen to others how you want to be punished.

Everything in the world belongs to the royal family, and all the wealth in the world belongs to the royal family.Rather than being extremely rich and later being feared by the emperor, and being badly injured after climbing high and falling down, it is better to stop thinking about getting rich from the beginning in order to achieve stability and peace.

Isn't Yinzhen short of money?Just put this money-making method in his hands, and he will have a steady stream of money to start with, so he won't be too attached to the property of the Xue family. As long as the Xue family can do their own business in a safe and sound When Yinzhen had a financial gap, he joined other officials who supported Yinzhen to make such a one-time or two-time donation. It is easy to gain a good reputation, and it will not let Yinzhen have the idea of ​​​​robbing the Xue family's wealth. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ?
Xue Hong saw that her father seemed to have come to terms with it, so she said again: "What father has to do now is to count all the allies of our Xue family and call them together for a meeting. This can only be regarded as a general plan." When discussing matters with everyone, my father must deliberately omit one or two points, leaving space for other businessmen to discuss. In this way, when the final decision is in the hands of the fourth elder brother, it will be the credit of everyone's brainstorming. The Xue family is naturally considered the top performer, but there is no need for one family to make contributions, and it will also avoid the trouble of being jealous and hated by other businessmen in the future."

Xue Yi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This is the development way of his Xue family to win steadily and advance with retreat.

Xue Yi took the stack of paper and glanced at Xue Hong: "It's strange that you dared to talk like that yesterday. You have prepared these things a long time ago. You have even prepared the words to persuade your father. You are just waiting for this. Time to take it out and use it?”

Xue Hong actually wanted to tell his father the truth, but felt that what his father said was actually reasonable, so let him feel that what he thought was what he thought.

"That... even if we don't make a contribution to the dragon, we have to be a part-time official, don't we? This is called being prepared for danger in times of peace, and being prepared for danger in times of peace."

"Okay, I understand. I need to study this article carefully. Some of the content in it is really strange... How did you remember all this?"

"Oh, I saw that in a book once. It was written in foreign languages, and children couldn't understand it, but I just remembered the pictures on it. I think it's about the menu of this hotel and the design of European-style rooms. , father might as well find some foreigners to discuss. I heard that there is a foreigner named George among the painters in Ruyi Pavilion. He not only draws well, but also makes many foods that foreigners love. And the cocktail , is also a thing for foreigners, you can also ask his opinion."

"George? I know the man. Well, that being the case, I'll get to work on it."

In the next few days, Xue Yi really took Xue Pan to discuss this novel way of running the tavern with allies with business experience.As for the businessmen, they are all unprofitable. Xue Yi told them that as long as the plan is perfected, he will pay a generous bonus. In this way, these people are satisfied with the reward, and their minds are cleared. The lips are also slipping.Within a few days, a relatively complete plan was produced, and before this plan was handed over to Yinzhen, another major event came from the court.

The imperial concubine Zhen Jia lost many children when she was young, leaving only one daughter. Now she is married to Mongolia and her family is feeling empty. Now she has the eighth prince Yinsu, who is willing to be the adopted son of the imperial concubine Zhen Jia to comfort her. The lonely heart of Concubine Zhen Jia in her later years.

As soon as this edict came out, the whole country was shocked.

Brother Ba is already 27 years old this year, his biological mother, Concubine Liang, and Concubine Hui, who raised him when he was young, are both alive, so why is he the adopted son of Concubine Zhen?
