A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 405 Journey to the Homeland 3 in 1
For Hong Xiao like this, he couldn't be entrusted with important matters.
But man, there's always room for it.For example, at the same time as the opening of the Highways Administration, do we have to have a special cultural approval office? For example, since the daily publication, many people have smelled an opportunity from it and wanted to create a less serious one.Let's not talk about political affairs, can we just talk about Fengyue's publications?
Really good!Some people find someone to write it themselves, and then publish it themselves. Some are humorous, and some are of a relatively large scale. Anyway, they are interested in reading, so they come to buy.Surprisingly, they all sold well.
If things get chaotic like this, it will definitely not work. How can it work without supervision?
Qianlong didn't care too much about other aspects, and he was probably not happy about other people's ideas.But if he could better control the movements of the literati, then he would be very happy.This matter can be settled by just mentioning it. For example, if a literati wants to publish a book, he should go to the relevant yamen for approval first.Register and make a book for you, and then your book can be published.It's not illegal to sell it after you're done.
Isn't it a book now?Number all the books that can be found, so that it will be easier to check in the future.
Fourth Master called this the Cultural Management Office.
When he said this, Shisi shut up, thinking that his fourth brother really loved the children of Shisan's family more.Look, the Cultural Affairs Bureau sounds like a government office at the same level as the Highways Department.The Highways Department is really exhausting and exhausting, looking for money and looking for someone to keep an eye on for fear of something going wrong.What about the Cultural Affairs Bureau?Sit there, wait for the yamen below to send up the things that need to be approved, and then sit there and have a look.The wind doesn't blow, the rain doesn't catch it, even if the trial is stricter, it's also for the good of Qing Dynasty.If something happened, one or two books, what big deal could it be?Is Hong Xiao stupid enough to release some books that are not good for Qing Dynasty?So, as long as you don't jump out of this frame, there will be no catastrophe.
This errand is high-level and easy, but it may not be fancy.After all, the control of this kind of speech cannot be entrusted to non-trusting ministers.
He suddenly felt a little sour, "The fourth brother is the older thirteen."
Fourth master can die of anger, but your son and grandson are called to do this job, can they sit still?Day by day, like a pony that has given up its chewing head, there is no place where they can't avoid misfortune.He raised his eyes at Shisi, "Then replace Hong Xiao and tell Hong Tun to go?"
Hiroshi can't go!
Fourteen's head was shaking like a rattle, this kid was a little bit big-tempered, and he was not suitable for that at all.
look!The fourth master gave him a blank look, and then said: "In the spring of next year, ask Hongyun to go to the south. The rubber plantation needs to be built. This matter is very important. Ask Hongyun to go with Honghan. If this matter is done, give me An iron hat is worthy of the title."
Iron hat?
Fourteen was overjoyed, he laughed.It's an important job, but it's also hard work.It has to cross several provinces along the southern line. According to my fourth brother, the rubber can only live in these places.But if you are given an iron hat, work harder and work harder.Is it my brother?
Satisfied in his heart, Fourteen glanced at Sixteen again.
Sixteen Hearts said, look at me!I may not really care about your iron hat, and my treasure is not bet on the fourth brother, you don't understand this.You are the younger brother of a compatriot, and you may not know as much as I do, so what are you talking about!Besides, he doesn't have many sons, and the eldest Hongming is only 35-[-] this year, and he is in his prime.The rest are still young, and Hongming is the only one who can be of great use for the time being.But I know my own affairs, what can Hongming do?The kid can't do these jobs, and he, Ama, can't even look down on them.
The fourth master said, "Hongming is going to Shengjing. The fields, land, and immigrants all need someone to watch over them. Especially when it's outside the customs, we need to be more cautious."
Entrusting the land of Longxing to the sixteen families, this letter is not small.
have to!There is no need to ask the rest, the fourth brother said on the surface that he did not know how to arrange these children and asked for their opinions, but in fact everyone has arrangements in his heart.It means that no matter what you do, it is easy to make a good appearance.
Because they used them according to their aptitude, several people had no objections, and they talked about the Royal Bank and the Commercial Bank.
Sixteen was willing to take the lead, so he just watched from above, but someone had to run for specific matters.The fourth master asked: "How about Yongbi and Suying?"
Yongbi is the grandson of the fourth master, the eldest son of Hong Zhou, this belongs to the direct line of the direct line, who can say otherwise?
As for Su Ying'er, this kid is cautious and refrained from talking, and he doesn't look like a bad boy at all.But if you do rigorous work, it's a good hand.The status is neither high nor low, but there is grace.We all know that he has face beside the old sage, but he actually made up for the shortcomings of his identity.
Therefore, this candidate is possible.
Fourteen interjected, "If Suying's amount is in the bank, Hongwang can't go to the commercial bank."
This is really kind. If others don't like it, he just goes straight to the end.It's not that I have a grudge against Lao Ba, but that there are some things that I have to avoid.
"Hongwang going to the firm?" Fourth master actually didn't think so at all before.Qianlong couldn't believe that Hongwang was going to the firm at first, because he was not the same as someone of the younger generation like Su Yinger.Hongwang knew how prominent Lao Ba was back then.Furthermore, Hongwang has experienced a lot in these years, so this kid has more twists and turns in his mind and fewer scruples.Send him alone, it's not suitable.Let's send a few more people. To be honest, even if a few people use their brains together, they may not be able to defeat him.Therefore, this kid is the best to use and the worst to use.
In fact, Fourth Master had a candidate in mind, "What do you think of Dongxi?"
Dongxi?
The old fourteen's mind turned slowly, and he couldn't think of who it was for a while.
Shiliucai said: "The sixth child of the Ninth Brother's family." This kid is 24 years old, and he is usually very low-key.In addition to the fact that the name is not typefaced, many people in the academy do not know that this kid is from the clan.
Old Fourteen didn't quite understand: "Doing business is an errand to deal with people..." The implication is that the descendants of Lao Jiu's family have been locked up in the mansion for more than ten years, and they are all stupid. One person in charge, isn't this a joke?
The fourth master also thought that was the case before, "I was thinking of asking someone to take care of Lao Jiu's family. If life is difficult, I will take care of it behind the scenes. Who knows that these brothers have separated the family quietly. The family is not divided into houses, and they are still there. They lived together. Only this Dongxi moved out of the mansion with his mother-in-law, and soon, the city bought a three-in-one yard... Do you know those small yards that are newly built outside the city for sale? "
Know!It was like a new city.
"A small half of that place belongs to Dongxi. He bought some scattered land here and there, and then built it up so that it doesn't look like a mountain or leak. There are fewer people in the clan who are richer than him now!"
no!Why don't you want money?What about his capital?Jiufujin only gave birth to Ge Ge and had no son.The kid from Laojiu's family, his birth mother was not of high birth.They are basically Han women.Even if there are relatives and grandparents to take care of them, there is not much to give.The birth mother has no dowry.Where does his capital come from?
The fourth master only checked this kid after he found out that Dongxi was tricky in the outer city, and it was impossible to check.This kid was dishonest when he was locked in. When he was only a teenager, he got out of the dog hole and got out of the house with his Ama's clothes when he was young, like a little beggar. .Then go out from the capital to Tongzhou.Only then did he change into his clothes, and he looked like a dog, just like the second generation ancestor of the royal family.The kid took the few royal things in the house that were marked and went to the casino.Specially looking for the children of those merchants to play dice.Except for the big merchants, it is difficult for other people to curry favor with the children of the rich and powerful!It is not easy to find someone's steward to curry favor.In the end, I met such an elder brother who looked young but knew nothing about the world. The child sneaked out, saying that he had lost his purse, and he wanted to mortgage the things that obviously belonged to the royal family hanging on his body.Isn't this a ready opportunity?Such a person is best to curry favor with.Children are not worth much, but if you can recommend the big steward, that's fine too.Playing with this kid with such a mind, and then losing two or three hundred taels of silver in one game, it's not too distressing.
Dongxi made his first pot of gold with this method, and then he disappeared for a long time without a trace.After that, when they appeared, they were no longer the children of the clan, but people who did small business.Among the crowd, no one knows anyone.This kid bought two boats with the money from the pit, and just made a living by transporting them back and forth.The boat handles help to operate, and between the north and the south, one is to earn some freight, and the other is to carry some goods and earn some price difference.A small business that is not obvious and does not leak water can last for ten years once it is done.Later, I didn't even earn the freight, and only made North-South goods.With money accumulated in his hands, he remained calm, and no one in the mansion except his mother knew that this kid was still hiding this thing.He shared the same yard with his mother, and he went in and out of his mother to cover him. He only said that he was not in good health and saw no one. Who would know.Furthermore, they are all prisoners, seeing each other every day and year after year, I am tired of seeing each other every day.It's normal not to like meeting people.So, let him hang around like this for so long.Others don't know the outside news, but he already knew it clearly before the ban was lifted in the Old Nine Mansion.Therefore, when fourth master and Tongtong lived in Zhuangzi, this kid was already buying other people's vegetable plots in the outer city.At that time, others did not know that a small vegetable garden the size of a palm in such a place would cost 80 taels of silver to turn it into a yard.
Now the largest restaurant in the outer city is his, the largest inn in the outer city is his, and the largest theater and library in the outer city is also his.
Moving out and getting married as soon as the family is separated, if he has no connections, can he handle it so neatly?
So this kid is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.His grades in the academy were mediocre, and there was nothing outstanding about him.Who would have thought that there was such a deep hidden behind this.
When fourth master told the story, the brothers looked at each other in dismay.Shisi slammed his mouth, "How did Lao Jiu come up with such a thing!"
yes!What kind of faces these brats have behind their backs, you really can't know unless you look carefully.
Shisi You said angrily: "It must be that Lao Jiu often complained that all the money he earned was subsidized to his brother, otherwise this kid would be such a thief." Through the yin and yang of life and death, Shi Si seemed to be able to feel Lao Jiu's resentment, dying Probably they are all explaining: hide the money you earn secretly, don't reveal it to anyone, or you will probably be tricked by your brothers.
Sixteen: "..." Anyone who can see Lao Jiu's money belongs to the same party as Lao Jiu.Fourteenth brother, you can do it, now you don't shy away from anything, you dare to say anything.
Dongxi didn't know that his background had been exposed, and he was going to go home as soon as he arrived in Xiumu. There was Erniang and his new wife at home.
It's just that today is a bit special, so I just came out of the dormitory and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qian Sheng, "Master Dong, the old sage is here to invite you."
Dongxi: "..." He has never met this fourth uncle alone.In the newly bought house, no one actually knows that his family is a clan.All I know is that he is a businessman, and now he is studying in an academy.He never felt that the identity of the clan was so great.Although I heard from others that Master Jiu was very prosperous for some years back then, but he didn't catch up with the most prosperous years!As long as he could remember, Amma was a bad old man.Those who are dissatisfied all day long are very despised.
He just looked at his old man like that back then, and when that old man was drunk, he raised his hand and slapped himself on the back of the head, cursing, "Even you little bastard looks down on my father now! Tell me, you Tell me, why do you look down on me?"
How could he dare to say at that time that he was carrying a bag of jade chess pieces stolen from Ama's study in his pocket.So he smiled naively, but he couldn't pass the test. The old man grabbed him by the back collar, "You are so smart, you are still playing with your father? As for your old man, you can play with you." It seems."
At that time, he was reluctant to part with a bag of chess pieces, and wanted to get rid of the old man's entanglement, so he said anxiously: "I don't like your bluffing. You bluff when it's good, and you bluff when it's not good. What are you bluffing about? Those who don't bluff are fine." Yes, all the bluffs are closed. You don't understand like my tenth uncle..."
Then I didn’t know which sentence was wrong, the bad old man started crying, hugged him and refused to let go: "Your old man has been this virtuous all his life, and my old man didn't break me away, even if you don't like it I'm holding back."
How about not holding back?What can I do?
The old man was crying out of breath, but it was rare for him to say a few good things, so he said, "You bastard, you have to remember your own words, keep everything in your heart, don't bluff .Your father really suffered a loss. Also, you can’t be too honest with any brother. You will suffer if you are honest! People outside are not scary, but people at home are scary. Those who cheat you are brothers, you have to remember ah!"
He really remembered.He felt that his father had not only told him, but also his other brothers.So, brothers, don't be too honest with anyone.
Later, he also asked Ama and his brothers, whose heart was the most dishonest and whose heart was the most sincere.
Worse, the old man was sick at the time, and he was usually silent, but when he talked about his brothers, he became energetic, the expression on his face, half a smile, half a cry, "The most dishonest thing is Your uncle..."
The answer is surprising.
What was even more surprising was that the old man said again: "In terms of sincerity, the most honest one is actually your fourth uncle... The premise is that you have to be kind to him first, and be very sincere to him, and then he will be more sincere to you... Don't be so honest... He's playing with his mind, once he gets his mind, he probably won't give you his sincerity..."
So what kind of honest person is this?Is there any honest person who is full of heart and mind?Sure enough, the old man is still confused.
But these years, he has been more or less affected by these words.When you go out, don't care who you meet with, first, you have to be careful, or you will suffer.Second, be honest.Because you are not sincere, people will not deal with you heart-to-heart.
Slowly, he discovered that the bad old man was not a fool at that time, and his words were all good. He is now because of the benefits of these two words.
But asking him to get close to this fourth uncle is still avoided.This fourth uncle never concealed his dislike for his own Ama, which is well known in the world.It's a bit ugly to catch up by yourself.My brothers are not the same as other clans, and Hongwang has been free for a few years anyway, so, the old grudges can be eliminated after a long time.After all, it was a matter between the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle, and now the emperor is still tolerant of Hongwang.But my own family is different, my own family is tabooed by today's Long Live Lord, and the quiet one is the best.Even if you put it together, people won't believe it and don't know how to use it, so why bother yourself?
He had already thought about it, he didn't need to earn more money, just enough money was enough.The less eye-catching the better.In the future, if you have to ask yourself to be an errand, then you will be an errand.From now on, this is my own code of conduct.
I had a good plan in my heart, but I was summoned today.It's a lie that he was uneasy. He didn't think about what he would be asked if he went, but he kept thinking about whether he had done something wrong during this period of time, and he didn't even notice it.
Moreover, I have been stared at for a long time along the way, which makes me feel a little bit like a light on my back.I'm used to being indifferent in my daily life, pushing people who no one would notice in the crowd and following Qian Sheng, how can the attention be low?Always sneaky, this sudden attention made him a hundred uncomfortable.
It was so easy to go from the front to the back, and finally stepped into the small door that many people wanted to step in, and I felt even more uncomfortable.
If you want to ask Qian Sheng about something, just open your mouth and forget it, I shouldn't have done anything wrong... right?
There are small courtyards behind, and medicinal herbs can be seen as far as the eye can see.Going forward, there is a courtyard with a small door face. To be honest, it is not as grand as the newly bought house.
He stood still at the door, waiting for Qian Sheng to report.
Seeing that the other party did not follow, Qian Sheng hurriedly said: "Please, there is no need to inform, the old sage is waiting for you."
All right!In fact, being able to ask Qian Sheng to call himself is an attitude in itself.He sighed slightly in his heart, more or less counted, this must be because the business he did secretly was known.
Therefore, after entering, the head is not raised, and the sin is confessed when entering.
Sitting on the rocking chair in the yard, Fourth Master took a good look at the building, "Get up. Get up and talk. There is no such thing as kneeling in this academy."
Dongxi kowtowed: "In the academy, you are a gentleman, so you don't kowtow. Today, my nephew is here to see my fourth uncle. Greeting the elders is the filial piety of the younger generation."
Lin Yutong wanted to laugh, this boy was born ordinary, his facial features can only be regarded as correct.He is neither tall nor short, his skin is neither black nor white, and he speaks neither too fast nor too slowly.He has a modest background, lives in a modest house, marries a neither beautiful nor ugly daughter-in-law, does a modest job, and lives a life neither rich nor poor.He is really an ordinary person who can't be singled out from the crowd.
In the academy for so long, fourth master never paid attention to him.That's because of Tongtong's call to Chajyuan last time, the gate of the outer city was too conspicuous.Then Dehai checked the land, only to find out that Dongxi had bought a lot of land scatteredly in the past two years.Three points for this side, five points for that side, and two acres for that side, no more than two acres of land.There are other stinky ditches and miscellaneous forests that no one would look up to, and he wants them all.He could see through it at a glance that this kind of place was about to start, but he endured it, not to let Yin Zi be fooled.Don't be moved by the business opportunities in front of you, just follow the east wind to make some money.If it wasn't for a mistake, this kid would have fished in troubled waters.
Dongxi's identity is not a secret, but no one has heard of such a thing as the government's contract. The people in this yamen should have a good relationship with the boy, otherwise there would be no news at all.What does this mean? This means that this kid has a bit of a unique way of interacting with people, knowing people and judging people.
It seems that such a person speaks with a mouth full of spirituality, which is quite a contrast.
The fourth master's eyes fell on this kid for a long time, and he said after kowtowing: "Okay, although this gift is a bit late, it's fine if you receive it."
Dongxi: "..." This is not what a sincere person should say.Of course, facing the fourth uncle in front of him...it seemed that he was not so sincere before.
But let’s be honest about this thing, let’s see the score.Sincerity is not the same as honesty. The sincerity of words does not determine the sincerity of the heart. He has always thought so.
Therefore, the embarrassment lasted for a moment, and he quickly bowed his head, "Nephew knows his mistake. He should have come here to say hello, and all mistakes are all nephew's fault."
Anyway, if you admit your mistake, you can hit or punish as you please.
He never mentioned any husband or student, and always called himself a nephew.
Dongxi can't do anything about it. People know both what can be known and what can't be known.It is a serious crime to sneak out when you are in the circle. If it is really said that it is a conspiracy and secretly contacting my grandmother's old department, I can't tell the truth even if I have eight mouths.Standing here is a bit regretful, it would have been better if I hadn't run away in the first place.But if he didn't run away and hang out in the market, he wouldn't be what he is today.
At this moment, he was very shy. When he got up and saw Lin Yutong, he hurriedly greeted the fourth aunt.He was born late, so he had no impression of this aunt in her early years.This is only a few times I have seen him from a distance after being in the academy.
"Get up!" Lin Yutong laughed, "Sit down and talk." She took the words from fourth master, this kid looked calm, but his back was straight.
Dongxi sat obediently, and Lin Yutong asked, "Listen to Liu Gege, have you married a wife?"
Liugege belongs to Jiuye's family, and he and Dongxi are siblings of the same father but different mothers.
Dongxi relaxed a little, it turned out that he had heard what Liu Gege said.He responded, "Yes! It's been a few months."
"You don't mention such a big thing as marriage to anyone?" There was a bit of reproach in the words: "It's also thanks to the new wife's family who is willing to marry the girl to you. But our family can't be rude."
What do people say?Said that I don't want people to know that I am actually a descendant of Master Jiu?His face was expressionless, and he said: "It turned out that the marriage was a little hasty, and Peng Jia's grandmother is useless. She has been keeping her filial piety for several years, and this year is double ten. I am afraid that I will miss the age, Urging to get the marriage done. Originally, she thought that as a new daughter-in-law, she should see her elders, but the sister-in-law's health has never been well, so it's not easy to teach her to take her out."
A new daughter-in-law has to be led by an elder, but unfortunately his biological mother is a concubine, so it must not work.His sister-in-law refers to Hongzheng's daughter-in-law, who is in poor health.
"If you're not feeling well, you should call me over to have a look." Lin Yutong said, "I'll call you later."
Yes!
Lin Yutong asked some homely questions, such as which family your daughter-in-law belongs to, who was the matchmaker at the beginning, and now there is good news.
He also answered one by one, it was an ordinary bannerman's family.But there are many brothers in this family, and they love girls.He moved there before and heard about the reputation of this family.It is said that the girl is extremely pungent and good at housekeeping.Later, I got to know her elder brother, and they were kind of friends who came and went, and they knew each other well, so they called a matchmaker to come to the door and made a marriage agreement, "As for Xi Xiner, there has never been..."
"You can't be in a hurry, the child depends on fate." Lin Yutong said, "If your mother-in-law is in a hurry, I will bring your daughter-in-law to see me another day..."
Dongxi agreed, the parents were short-tempered, and Mrs. Zigong relaxed after a while.
Lin Yutong just got up, "Let's stay for dinner today, you talk to Sibo, I'll cook."
Dongxi got up quickly, "I have Mrs. Lao." It is said that the old lady's cooking is very good, but well, he doesn't want to come to eat at all.Even if the people who have eaten it boast that they are miraculous, he will still be grateful.The food here is delicious and difficult to digest.
There were only two people left in the yard, Dongxi had to face fourth master.
Then, the old man's words rang in his ears again: Don't play tricks, you have to be honest with him first, and then he will be honest with you.
That's all!Just trust this old man for once.
Then Dongxi got up, lowered his hands and bowed his head, and told his fourth uncle everything he had done in these years.Fourth master originally thought it would take a while to talk, but this kid turned out to be very knowledgeable.
"Although I don't know why the fourth uncle called me, but my nephew was absurd in the early years and did many things that should not be known to others. Today, the fourth uncle is in front of me, and my nephew dare not push back, let alone lie. Said My nephew felt at ease when he came out, otherwise, he would always be worried that someone might find out someday..."
Fourth Master glanced at him, "The reason why you dare not stand up in the academy is because you are afraid that people will find out?"
Dongxi was annoyed in his heart, but in fact he had already taken the lead.The real shame is that I shouldn't have moved out of the house to live alone at that time.It must have been eye-catching at that time.Now he is a little suspicious that some elder brother of his family didn't speak well of him outside.Because the bad old man told himself to be wary of his brother, and also told other brothers to be wary of his brother, so the one who cheated him should be his brother.
Fourth Master didn't know this, if he knew, he would have kicked Lao Jiu.Day by day, I don't know what is instilled in the children.
The past is all clear, and there is not much difference with the fourth master named De Haicha, which proves that this kid is quite honest when he is willing to be honest.Of course, don't expect a person in business to be an honest person, since honest people can't do business.
Without hiding his intentions, Fourth Master expressed his satisfaction, and said, "Don't blame the past for what happened in the past. Do you know why I called you here this time?"
I really don't know.If it wasn't for settling old scores, he really didn't know what he needed.
The most quarrelsome person recently is the Highways Department, but it's never my turn to be involved in this matter.Other than that, he really couldn't think of anything else.
Fourth Master pointed to Shidunzi, "Sit down, sit down and talk." When the others sat down, he asked, "What do you think about the Highway Administration?"
Dong Xi clenched his hands in his sleeves, he wouldn't really find himself because of this matter.But I really don't understand this aspect.Dan Shanlun this yamen, "is off to a good start."
Just this one sentence is gone, it seems that the academy has opened a hole from the Highways Department, which is a good start.It seems to be saying that this new way of raising funds from the people is a good start.
It seems that every sentence is true, but every sentence is also a mystery.
This kid may not be as smart as Lao Jiu, but he can make up for his shortcomings by being calm and introverted.Sometimes, people don't have to be too smart.People who love to shake their spirits about some things are all annoying ghosts.For example, Lao Jiu!
Fourth Master said straight: "The Highway Administration has no money."
Dongxi sat up straight instantly, his heart skipped a beat.Could it be that they want to donate money? This seems to be impossible!I'm really not that selfless.His mind was spinning fast, thinking about how to respond.Besides, my little silver cup is useless.Tell yourself to take the lead?I can't do this kind of thing myself.
Seeing that he was silent, Fourth Master said: "The emperor intends to prepare a royal firm."
A heart thumped and fell, this is a commercial firm.He found his rhythm a bit: "My nephew did do some north-south trade..."
Fourth master waved his hand: "This time it's not Beinan, but doing business with foreigners. You are responsible for this, can you do it?"
Dongxi was stunned for a moment: "You can rest assured that I will do it?"
As soon as I said this, I regretted it. Why did I ask such a question so stupidly?
Of course, the main thing is that I was too surprised.He also met that foreigner when he was in the academy, so he naturally knew how big things were going on here, especially after the trade with Lao Maozi had basically earned back the expenses of the armory factory, what kind of burden would the firm he was responsible for bear? Responsibilities are already laid before us.
On the one hand, he was surprised.How could such trust be given to himself?On the other hand, I am a little excited, making money is a real hobby sometimes.You don't have to own all the money, but you have to let others know that you can make money.To be honest, when I think of the crackling of the abacus in the yard of the accountant at home when I was a child until the end of the year, it still makes people feel excited.
But soon after, the surprise and excitement were gone.The shoulders seemed to be pressed by something, heavy.
Luzheng - there are such courses in the academy.Even if you haven't studied it specifically, you know that in the planning map, the roads criss-cross, from north to south, from west to east, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare. It will take many years and how much money it will cost.
Also... It seems that the engineering institute is building a small train, and even the tracks are paved in the yard.It is said to be much faster.And this kind of road also belongs to the road administrator.These things are all iron guys at the bottom, and the silver they need is like mountains and seas.
He smiled wryly: "Uncle Si, you really think highly of my nephew. My nephew's shoulders are a little tender, I'm afraid I can't bear them."
"Don't do it?" Fourth Master looked at him leisurely.
Dong Xi pursed his lips, his voice seemed to have become dry.Why not?How willing?With so much money in hand, I feel excited just thinking about it. The word 'not doing it' suddenly became difficult, and I couldn't utter it no matter what.
I didn't know how to answer it, and called over there to eat.
The crispy shredded biscuits, together with other delicate side dishes, are paired with a bowl of multigrain porridge, which makes you feel comfortable from your mouth to your stomach.
Lin Yutong saw that the child was wandering off into the sky, not knowing what to think, so he said, "Your elder brother still likes to make incense powder?"
Yes!Since Hongzheng entered the academy, he has unlocked new skills and researched various cosmetics in his spare time.It is estimated that they have been locked up for so many years doing nothing, all kinds of flowers, regardless of whether they are rare or wild, just fiddle with them when they have nothing to do.When he discovered that there were medicinal herbs growing in the academy, he began to use these ingredients to make concoctions, mainly to pass the time when he was free.Hongwang and the others were fine, and they took two boxes from Hongzheng to go back to coax the concubine. They joked with each other and spread to the fourth master's ears, and then the fourth master was so angry that his liver hurt, but Hongzheng still didn't say anything explain.
This question is rather embarrassing.
Dongxi wants to say something for his elder brother, but this matter is indisputable.Now the eldest brother has broken the pots and smashed them. Inside the academy, half a tael of silver is sold in a box.Business is said to be pretty good.Of course, this need not be said, otherwise the fourth uncle's face would not be able to be seen.
He answered vaguely.
Lin Yutong felt that this was nothing, so he said: "There is a kind of perfume in France, you should have seen this. They are because of the Black Death in the early years, and later the whole people did not bathe. You can't smell the smell on your body, so you have it. This kind of perfume. We can use powder and other things, but if it is water, it will probably sell better. Call He Jing later to ask, the women in the clan can invest money in a perfume workshop, and tell your elder brother to ignore it... ..."
Dongxi felt even more uncomfortable.He finished eating quickly, and said to the fourth master: "Fourth uncle, this matter is too big, my nephew has to go back and think about it. I have to figure it out, and come back to answer your words, do you think so?"
Fourth master was more satisfied, such a person rarely stepped on empty space when doing things.
Dongxi just left here, and Hongwang asked to see him.The fourth master snorted: "This kid has a good nose, I guess he smelled it, so he found it."
The firm refused to let Hongwang go, so what did Hongwang do?Only these two boys are bold enough to find out by themselves...
But man, there's always room for it.For example, at the same time as the opening of the Highways Administration, do we have to have a special cultural approval office? For example, since the daily publication, many people have smelled an opportunity from it and wanted to create a less serious one.Let's not talk about political affairs, can we just talk about Fengyue's publications?
Really good!Some people find someone to write it themselves, and then publish it themselves. Some are humorous, and some are of a relatively large scale. Anyway, they are interested in reading, so they come to buy.Surprisingly, they all sold well.
If things get chaotic like this, it will definitely not work. How can it work without supervision?
Qianlong didn't care too much about other aspects, and he was probably not happy about other people's ideas.But if he could better control the movements of the literati, then he would be very happy.This matter can be settled by just mentioning it. For example, if a literati wants to publish a book, he should go to the relevant yamen for approval first.Register and make a book for you, and then your book can be published.It's not illegal to sell it after you're done.
Isn't it a book now?Number all the books that can be found, so that it will be easier to check in the future.
Fourth Master called this the Cultural Management Office.
When he said this, Shisi shut up, thinking that his fourth brother really loved the children of Shisan's family more.Look, the Cultural Affairs Bureau sounds like a government office at the same level as the Highways Department.The Highways Department is really exhausting and exhausting, looking for money and looking for someone to keep an eye on for fear of something going wrong.What about the Cultural Affairs Bureau?Sit there, wait for the yamen below to send up the things that need to be approved, and then sit there and have a look.The wind doesn't blow, the rain doesn't catch it, even if the trial is stricter, it's also for the good of Qing Dynasty.If something happened, one or two books, what big deal could it be?Is Hong Xiao stupid enough to release some books that are not good for Qing Dynasty?So, as long as you don't jump out of this frame, there will be no catastrophe.
This errand is high-level and easy, but it may not be fancy.After all, the control of this kind of speech cannot be entrusted to non-trusting ministers.
He suddenly felt a little sour, "The fourth brother is the older thirteen."
Fourth master can die of anger, but your son and grandson are called to do this job, can they sit still?Day by day, like a pony that has given up its chewing head, there is no place where they can't avoid misfortune.He raised his eyes at Shisi, "Then replace Hong Xiao and tell Hong Tun to go?"
Hiroshi can't go!
Fourteen's head was shaking like a rattle, this kid was a little bit big-tempered, and he was not suitable for that at all.
look!The fourth master gave him a blank look, and then said: "In the spring of next year, ask Hongyun to go to the south. The rubber plantation needs to be built. This matter is very important. Ask Hongyun to go with Honghan. If this matter is done, give me An iron hat is worthy of the title."
Iron hat?
Fourteen was overjoyed, he laughed.It's an important job, but it's also hard work.It has to cross several provinces along the southern line. According to my fourth brother, the rubber can only live in these places.But if you are given an iron hat, work harder and work harder.Is it my brother?
Satisfied in his heart, Fourteen glanced at Sixteen again.
Sixteen Hearts said, look at me!I may not really care about your iron hat, and my treasure is not bet on the fourth brother, you don't understand this.You are the younger brother of a compatriot, and you may not know as much as I do, so what are you talking about!Besides, he doesn't have many sons, and the eldest Hongming is only 35-[-] this year, and he is in his prime.The rest are still young, and Hongming is the only one who can be of great use for the time being.But I know my own affairs, what can Hongming do?The kid can't do these jobs, and he, Ama, can't even look down on them.
The fourth master said, "Hongming is going to Shengjing. The fields, land, and immigrants all need someone to watch over them. Especially when it's outside the customs, we need to be more cautious."
Entrusting the land of Longxing to the sixteen families, this letter is not small.
have to!There is no need to ask the rest, the fourth brother said on the surface that he did not know how to arrange these children and asked for their opinions, but in fact everyone has arrangements in his heart.It means that no matter what you do, it is easy to make a good appearance.
Because they used them according to their aptitude, several people had no objections, and they talked about the Royal Bank and the Commercial Bank.
Sixteen was willing to take the lead, so he just watched from above, but someone had to run for specific matters.The fourth master asked: "How about Yongbi and Suying?"
Yongbi is the grandson of the fourth master, the eldest son of Hong Zhou, this belongs to the direct line of the direct line, who can say otherwise?
As for Su Ying'er, this kid is cautious and refrained from talking, and he doesn't look like a bad boy at all.But if you do rigorous work, it's a good hand.The status is neither high nor low, but there is grace.We all know that he has face beside the old sage, but he actually made up for the shortcomings of his identity.
Therefore, this candidate is possible.
Fourteen interjected, "If Suying's amount is in the bank, Hongwang can't go to the commercial bank."
This is really kind. If others don't like it, he just goes straight to the end.It's not that I have a grudge against Lao Ba, but that there are some things that I have to avoid.
"Hongwang going to the firm?" Fourth master actually didn't think so at all before.Qianlong couldn't believe that Hongwang was going to the firm at first, because he was not the same as someone of the younger generation like Su Yinger.Hongwang knew how prominent Lao Ba was back then.Furthermore, Hongwang has experienced a lot in these years, so this kid has more twists and turns in his mind and fewer scruples.Send him alone, it's not suitable.Let's send a few more people. To be honest, even if a few people use their brains together, they may not be able to defeat him.Therefore, this kid is the best to use and the worst to use.
In fact, Fourth Master had a candidate in mind, "What do you think of Dongxi?"
Dongxi?
The old fourteen's mind turned slowly, and he couldn't think of who it was for a while.
Shiliucai said: "The sixth child of the Ninth Brother's family." This kid is 24 years old, and he is usually very low-key.In addition to the fact that the name is not typefaced, many people in the academy do not know that this kid is from the clan.
Old Fourteen didn't quite understand: "Doing business is an errand to deal with people..." The implication is that the descendants of Lao Jiu's family have been locked up in the mansion for more than ten years, and they are all stupid. One person in charge, isn't this a joke?
The fourth master also thought that was the case before, "I was thinking of asking someone to take care of Lao Jiu's family. If life is difficult, I will take care of it behind the scenes. Who knows that these brothers have separated the family quietly. The family is not divided into houses, and they are still there. They lived together. Only this Dongxi moved out of the mansion with his mother-in-law, and soon, the city bought a three-in-one yard... Do you know those small yards that are newly built outside the city for sale? "
Know!It was like a new city.
"A small half of that place belongs to Dongxi. He bought some scattered land here and there, and then built it up so that it doesn't look like a mountain or leak. There are fewer people in the clan who are richer than him now!"
no!Why don't you want money?What about his capital?Jiufujin only gave birth to Ge Ge and had no son.The kid from Laojiu's family, his birth mother was not of high birth.They are basically Han women.Even if there are relatives and grandparents to take care of them, there is not much to give.The birth mother has no dowry.Where does his capital come from?
The fourth master only checked this kid after he found out that Dongxi was tricky in the outer city, and it was impossible to check.This kid was dishonest when he was locked in. When he was only a teenager, he got out of the dog hole and got out of the house with his Ama's clothes when he was young, like a little beggar. .Then go out from the capital to Tongzhou.Only then did he change into his clothes, and he looked like a dog, just like the second generation ancestor of the royal family.The kid took the few royal things in the house that were marked and went to the casino.Specially looking for the children of those merchants to play dice.Except for the big merchants, it is difficult for other people to curry favor with the children of the rich and powerful!It is not easy to find someone's steward to curry favor.In the end, I met such an elder brother who looked young but knew nothing about the world. The child sneaked out, saying that he had lost his purse, and he wanted to mortgage the things that obviously belonged to the royal family hanging on his body.Isn't this a ready opportunity?Such a person is best to curry favor with.Children are not worth much, but if you can recommend the big steward, that's fine too.Playing with this kid with such a mind, and then losing two or three hundred taels of silver in one game, it's not too distressing.
Dongxi made his first pot of gold with this method, and then he disappeared for a long time without a trace.After that, when they appeared, they were no longer the children of the clan, but people who did small business.Among the crowd, no one knows anyone.This kid bought two boats with the money from the pit, and just made a living by transporting them back and forth.The boat handles help to operate, and between the north and the south, one is to earn some freight, and the other is to carry some goods and earn some price difference.A small business that is not obvious and does not leak water can last for ten years once it is done.Later, I didn't even earn the freight, and only made North-South goods.With money accumulated in his hands, he remained calm, and no one in the mansion except his mother knew that this kid was still hiding this thing.He shared the same yard with his mother, and he went in and out of his mother to cover him. He only said that he was not in good health and saw no one. Who would know.Furthermore, they are all prisoners, seeing each other every day and year after year, I am tired of seeing each other every day.It's normal not to like meeting people.So, let him hang around like this for so long.Others don't know the outside news, but he already knew it clearly before the ban was lifted in the Old Nine Mansion.Therefore, when fourth master and Tongtong lived in Zhuangzi, this kid was already buying other people's vegetable plots in the outer city.At that time, others did not know that a small vegetable garden the size of a palm in such a place would cost 80 taels of silver to turn it into a yard.
Now the largest restaurant in the outer city is his, the largest inn in the outer city is his, and the largest theater and library in the outer city is also his.
Moving out and getting married as soon as the family is separated, if he has no connections, can he handle it so neatly?
So this kid is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.His grades in the academy were mediocre, and there was nothing outstanding about him.Who would have thought that there was such a deep hidden behind this.
When fourth master told the story, the brothers looked at each other in dismay.Shisi slammed his mouth, "How did Lao Jiu come up with such a thing!"
yes!What kind of faces these brats have behind their backs, you really can't know unless you look carefully.
Shisi You said angrily: "It must be that Lao Jiu often complained that all the money he earned was subsidized to his brother, otherwise this kid would be such a thief." Through the yin and yang of life and death, Shi Si seemed to be able to feel Lao Jiu's resentment, dying Probably they are all explaining: hide the money you earn secretly, don't reveal it to anyone, or you will probably be tricked by your brothers.
Sixteen: "..." Anyone who can see Lao Jiu's money belongs to the same party as Lao Jiu.Fourteenth brother, you can do it, now you don't shy away from anything, you dare to say anything.
Dongxi didn't know that his background had been exposed, and he was going to go home as soon as he arrived in Xiumu. There was Erniang and his new wife at home.
It's just that today is a bit special, so I just came out of the dormitory and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qian Sheng, "Master Dong, the old sage is here to invite you."
Dongxi: "..." He has never met this fourth uncle alone.In the newly bought house, no one actually knows that his family is a clan.All I know is that he is a businessman, and now he is studying in an academy.He never felt that the identity of the clan was so great.Although I heard from others that Master Jiu was very prosperous for some years back then, but he didn't catch up with the most prosperous years!As long as he could remember, Amma was a bad old man.Those who are dissatisfied all day long are very despised.
He just looked at his old man like that back then, and when that old man was drunk, he raised his hand and slapped himself on the back of the head, cursing, "Even you little bastard looks down on my father now! Tell me, you Tell me, why do you look down on me?"
How could he dare to say at that time that he was carrying a bag of jade chess pieces stolen from Ama's study in his pocket.So he smiled naively, but he couldn't pass the test. The old man grabbed him by the back collar, "You are so smart, you are still playing with your father? As for your old man, you can play with you." It seems."
At that time, he was reluctant to part with a bag of chess pieces, and wanted to get rid of the old man's entanglement, so he said anxiously: "I don't like your bluffing. You bluff when it's good, and you bluff when it's not good. What are you bluffing about? Those who don't bluff are fine." Yes, all the bluffs are closed. You don't understand like my tenth uncle..."
Then I didn’t know which sentence was wrong, the bad old man started crying, hugged him and refused to let go: "Your old man has been this virtuous all his life, and my old man didn't break me away, even if you don't like it I'm holding back."
How about not holding back?What can I do?
The old man was crying out of breath, but it was rare for him to say a few good things, so he said, "You bastard, you have to remember your own words, keep everything in your heart, don't bluff .Your father really suffered a loss. Also, you can’t be too honest with any brother. You will suffer if you are honest! People outside are not scary, but people at home are scary. Those who cheat you are brothers, you have to remember ah!"
He really remembered.He felt that his father had not only told him, but also his other brothers.So, brothers, don't be too honest with anyone.
Later, he also asked Ama and his brothers, whose heart was the most dishonest and whose heart was the most sincere.
Worse, the old man was sick at the time, and he was usually silent, but when he talked about his brothers, he became energetic, the expression on his face, half a smile, half a cry, "The most dishonest thing is Your uncle..."
The answer is surprising.
What was even more surprising was that the old man said again: "In terms of sincerity, the most honest one is actually your fourth uncle... The premise is that you have to be kind to him first, and be very sincere to him, and then he will be more sincere to you... Don't be so honest... He's playing with his mind, once he gets his mind, he probably won't give you his sincerity..."
So what kind of honest person is this?Is there any honest person who is full of heart and mind?Sure enough, the old man is still confused.
But these years, he has been more or less affected by these words.When you go out, don't care who you meet with, first, you have to be careful, or you will suffer.Second, be honest.Because you are not sincere, people will not deal with you heart-to-heart.
Slowly, he discovered that the bad old man was not a fool at that time, and his words were all good. He is now because of the benefits of these two words.
But asking him to get close to this fourth uncle is still avoided.This fourth uncle never concealed his dislike for his own Ama, which is well known in the world.It's a bit ugly to catch up by yourself.My brothers are not the same as other clans, and Hongwang has been free for a few years anyway, so, the old grudges can be eliminated after a long time.After all, it was a matter between the fourth uncle and the eighth uncle, and now the emperor is still tolerant of Hongwang.But my own family is different, my own family is tabooed by today's Long Live Lord, and the quiet one is the best.Even if you put it together, people won't believe it and don't know how to use it, so why bother yourself?
He had already thought about it, he didn't need to earn more money, just enough money was enough.The less eye-catching the better.In the future, if you have to ask yourself to be an errand, then you will be an errand.From now on, this is my own code of conduct.
I had a good plan in my heart, but I was summoned today.It's a lie that he was uneasy. He didn't think about what he would be asked if he went, but he kept thinking about whether he had done something wrong during this period of time, and he didn't even notice it.
Moreover, I have been stared at for a long time along the way, which makes me feel a little bit like a light on my back.I'm used to being indifferent in my daily life, pushing people who no one would notice in the crowd and following Qian Sheng, how can the attention be low?Always sneaky, this sudden attention made him a hundred uncomfortable.
It was so easy to go from the front to the back, and finally stepped into the small door that many people wanted to step in, and I felt even more uncomfortable.
If you want to ask Qian Sheng about something, just open your mouth and forget it, I shouldn't have done anything wrong... right?
There are small courtyards behind, and medicinal herbs can be seen as far as the eye can see.Going forward, there is a courtyard with a small door face. To be honest, it is not as grand as the newly bought house.
He stood still at the door, waiting for Qian Sheng to report.
Seeing that the other party did not follow, Qian Sheng hurriedly said: "Please, there is no need to inform, the old sage is waiting for you."
All right!In fact, being able to ask Qian Sheng to call himself is an attitude in itself.He sighed slightly in his heart, more or less counted, this must be because the business he did secretly was known.
Therefore, after entering, the head is not raised, and the sin is confessed when entering.
Sitting on the rocking chair in the yard, Fourth Master took a good look at the building, "Get up. Get up and talk. There is no such thing as kneeling in this academy."
Dongxi kowtowed: "In the academy, you are a gentleman, so you don't kowtow. Today, my nephew is here to see my fourth uncle. Greeting the elders is the filial piety of the younger generation."
Lin Yutong wanted to laugh, this boy was born ordinary, his facial features can only be regarded as correct.He is neither tall nor short, his skin is neither black nor white, and he speaks neither too fast nor too slowly.He has a modest background, lives in a modest house, marries a neither beautiful nor ugly daughter-in-law, does a modest job, and lives a life neither rich nor poor.He is really an ordinary person who can't be singled out from the crowd.
In the academy for so long, fourth master never paid attention to him.That's because of Tongtong's call to Chajyuan last time, the gate of the outer city was too conspicuous.Then Dehai checked the land, only to find out that Dongxi had bought a lot of land scatteredly in the past two years.Three points for this side, five points for that side, and two acres for that side, no more than two acres of land.There are other stinky ditches and miscellaneous forests that no one would look up to, and he wants them all.He could see through it at a glance that this kind of place was about to start, but he endured it, not to let Yin Zi be fooled.Don't be moved by the business opportunities in front of you, just follow the east wind to make some money.If it wasn't for a mistake, this kid would have fished in troubled waters.
Dongxi's identity is not a secret, but no one has heard of such a thing as the government's contract. The people in this yamen should have a good relationship with the boy, otherwise there would be no news at all.What does this mean? This means that this kid has a bit of a unique way of interacting with people, knowing people and judging people.
It seems that such a person speaks with a mouth full of spirituality, which is quite a contrast.
The fourth master's eyes fell on this kid for a long time, and he said after kowtowing: "Okay, although this gift is a bit late, it's fine if you receive it."
Dongxi: "..." This is not what a sincere person should say.Of course, facing the fourth uncle in front of him...it seemed that he was not so sincere before.
But let’s be honest about this thing, let’s see the score.Sincerity is not the same as honesty. The sincerity of words does not determine the sincerity of the heart. He has always thought so.
Therefore, the embarrassment lasted for a moment, and he quickly bowed his head, "Nephew knows his mistake. He should have come here to say hello, and all mistakes are all nephew's fault."
Anyway, if you admit your mistake, you can hit or punish as you please.
He never mentioned any husband or student, and always called himself a nephew.
Dongxi can't do anything about it. People know both what can be known and what can't be known.It is a serious crime to sneak out when you are in the circle. If it is really said that it is a conspiracy and secretly contacting my grandmother's old department, I can't tell the truth even if I have eight mouths.Standing here is a bit regretful, it would have been better if I hadn't run away in the first place.But if he didn't run away and hang out in the market, he wouldn't be what he is today.
At this moment, he was very shy. When he got up and saw Lin Yutong, he hurriedly greeted the fourth aunt.He was born late, so he had no impression of this aunt in her early years.This is only a few times I have seen him from a distance after being in the academy.
"Get up!" Lin Yutong laughed, "Sit down and talk." She took the words from fourth master, this kid looked calm, but his back was straight.
Dongxi sat obediently, and Lin Yutong asked, "Listen to Liu Gege, have you married a wife?"
Liugege belongs to Jiuye's family, and he and Dongxi are siblings of the same father but different mothers.
Dongxi relaxed a little, it turned out that he had heard what Liu Gege said.He responded, "Yes! It's been a few months."
"You don't mention such a big thing as marriage to anyone?" There was a bit of reproach in the words: "It's also thanks to the new wife's family who is willing to marry the girl to you. But our family can't be rude."
What do people say?Said that I don't want people to know that I am actually a descendant of Master Jiu?His face was expressionless, and he said: "It turned out that the marriage was a little hasty, and Peng Jia's grandmother is useless. She has been keeping her filial piety for several years, and this year is double ten. I am afraid that I will miss the age, Urging to get the marriage done. Originally, she thought that as a new daughter-in-law, she should see her elders, but the sister-in-law's health has never been well, so it's not easy to teach her to take her out."
A new daughter-in-law has to be led by an elder, but unfortunately his biological mother is a concubine, so it must not work.His sister-in-law refers to Hongzheng's daughter-in-law, who is in poor health.
"If you're not feeling well, you should call me over to have a look." Lin Yutong said, "I'll call you later."
Yes!
Lin Yutong asked some homely questions, such as which family your daughter-in-law belongs to, who was the matchmaker at the beginning, and now there is good news.
He also answered one by one, it was an ordinary bannerman's family.But there are many brothers in this family, and they love girls.He moved there before and heard about the reputation of this family.It is said that the girl is extremely pungent and good at housekeeping.Later, I got to know her elder brother, and they were kind of friends who came and went, and they knew each other well, so they called a matchmaker to come to the door and made a marriage agreement, "As for Xi Xiner, there has never been..."
"You can't be in a hurry, the child depends on fate." Lin Yutong said, "If your mother-in-law is in a hurry, I will bring your daughter-in-law to see me another day..."
Dongxi agreed, the parents were short-tempered, and Mrs. Zigong relaxed after a while.
Lin Yutong just got up, "Let's stay for dinner today, you talk to Sibo, I'll cook."
Dongxi got up quickly, "I have Mrs. Lao." It is said that the old lady's cooking is very good, but well, he doesn't want to come to eat at all.Even if the people who have eaten it boast that they are miraculous, he will still be grateful.The food here is delicious and difficult to digest.
There were only two people left in the yard, Dongxi had to face fourth master.
Then, the old man's words rang in his ears again: Don't play tricks, you have to be honest with him first, and then he will be honest with you.
That's all!Just trust this old man for once.
Then Dongxi got up, lowered his hands and bowed his head, and told his fourth uncle everything he had done in these years.Fourth master originally thought it would take a while to talk, but this kid turned out to be very knowledgeable.
"Although I don't know why the fourth uncle called me, but my nephew was absurd in the early years and did many things that should not be known to others. Today, the fourth uncle is in front of me, and my nephew dare not push back, let alone lie. Said My nephew felt at ease when he came out, otherwise, he would always be worried that someone might find out someday..."
Fourth Master glanced at him, "The reason why you dare not stand up in the academy is because you are afraid that people will find out?"
Dongxi was annoyed in his heart, but in fact he had already taken the lead.The real shame is that I shouldn't have moved out of the house to live alone at that time.It must have been eye-catching at that time.Now he is a little suspicious that some elder brother of his family didn't speak well of him outside.Because the bad old man told himself to be wary of his brother, and also told other brothers to be wary of his brother, so the one who cheated him should be his brother.
Fourth Master didn't know this, if he knew, he would have kicked Lao Jiu.Day by day, I don't know what is instilled in the children.
The past is all clear, and there is not much difference with the fourth master named De Haicha, which proves that this kid is quite honest when he is willing to be honest.Of course, don't expect a person in business to be an honest person, since honest people can't do business.
Without hiding his intentions, Fourth Master expressed his satisfaction, and said, "Don't blame the past for what happened in the past. Do you know why I called you here this time?"
I really don't know.If it wasn't for settling old scores, he really didn't know what he needed.
The most quarrelsome person recently is the Highways Department, but it's never my turn to be involved in this matter.Other than that, he really couldn't think of anything else.
Fourth Master pointed to Shidunzi, "Sit down, sit down and talk." When the others sat down, he asked, "What do you think about the Highway Administration?"
Dong Xi clenched his hands in his sleeves, he wouldn't really find himself because of this matter.But I really don't understand this aspect.Dan Shanlun this yamen, "is off to a good start."
Just this one sentence is gone, it seems that the academy has opened a hole from the Highways Department, which is a good start.It seems to be saying that this new way of raising funds from the people is a good start.
It seems that every sentence is true, but every sentence is also a mystery.
This kid may not be as smart as Lao Jiu, but he can make up for his shortcomings by being calm and introverted.Sometimes, people don't have to be too smart.People who love to shake their spirits about some things are all annoying ghosts.For example, Lao Jiu!
Fourth Master said straight: "The Highway Administration has no money."
Dongxi sat up straight instantly, his heart skipped a beat.Could it be that they want to donate money? This seems to be impossible!I'm really not that selfless.His mind was spinning fast, thinking about how to respond.Besides, my little silver cup is useless.Tell yourself to take the lead?I can't do this kind of thing myself.
Seeing that he was silent, Fourth Master said: "The emperor intends to prepare a royal firm."
A heart thumped and fell, this is a commercial firm.He found his rhythm a bit: "My nephew did do some north-south trade..."
Fourth master waved his hand: "This time it's not Beinan, but doing business with foreigners. You are responsible for this, can you do it?"
Dongxi was stunned for a moment: "You can rest assured that I will do it?"
As soon as I said this, I regretted it. Why did I ask such a question so stupidly?
Of course, the main thing is that I was too surprised.He also met that foreigner when he was in the academy, so he naturally knew how big things were going on here, especially after the trade with Lao Maozi had basically earned back the expenses of the armory factory, what kind of burden would the firm he was responsible for bear? Responsibilities are already laid before us.
On the one hand, he was surprised.How could such trust be given to himself?On the other hand, I am a little excited, making money is a real hobby sometimes.You don't have to own all the money, but you have to let others know that you can make money.To be honest, when I think of the crackling of the abacus in the yard of the accountant at home when I was a child until the end of the year, it still makes people feel excited.
But soon after, the surprise and excitement were gone.The shoulders seemed to be pressed by something, heavy.
Luzheng - there are such courses in the academy.Even if you haven't studied it specifically, you know that in the planning map, the roads criss-cross, from north to south, from west to east, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare. It will take many years and how much money it will cost.
Also... It seems that the engineering institute is building a small train, and even the tracks are paved in the yard.It is said to be much faster.And this kind of road also belongs to the road administrator.These things are all iron guys at the bottom, and the silver they need is like mountains and seas.
He smiled wryly: "Uncle Si, you really think highly of my nephew. My nephew's shoulders are a little tender, I'm afraid I can't bear them."
"Don't do it?" Fourth Master looked at him leisurely.
Dong Xi pursed his lips, his voice seemed to have become dry.Why not?How willing?With so much money in hand, I feel excited just thinking about it. The word 'not doing it' suddenly became difficult, and I couldn't utter it no matter what.
I didn't know how to answer it, and called over there to eat.
The crispy shredded biscuits, together with other delicate side dishes, are paired with a bowl of multigrain porridge, which makes you feel comfortable from your mouth to your stomach.
Lin Yutong saw that the child was wandering off into the sky, not knowing what to think, so he said, "Your elder brother still likes to make incense powder?"
Yes!Since Hongzheng entered the academy, he has unlocked new skills and researched various cosmetics in his spare time.It is estimated that they have been locked up for so many years doing nothing, all kinds of flowers, regardless of whether they are rare or wild, just fiddle with them when they have nothing to do.When he discovered that there were medicinal herbs growing in the academy, he began to use these ingredients to make concoctions, mainly to pass the time when he was free.Hongwang and the others were fine, and they took two boxes from Hongzheng to go back to coax the concubine. They joked with each other and spread to the fourth master's ears, and then the fourth master was so angry that his liver hurt, but Hongzheng still didn't say anything explain.
This question is rather embarrassing.
Dongxi wants to say something for his elder brother, but this matter is indisputable.Now the eldest brother has broken the pots and smashed them. Inside the academy, half a tael of silver is sold in a box.Business is said to be pretty good.Of course, this need not be said, otherwise the fourth uncle's face would not be able to be seen.
He answered vaguely.
Lin Yutong felt that this was nothing, so he said: "There is a kind of perfume in France, you should have seen this. They are because of the Black Death in the early years, and later the whole people did not bathe. You can't smell the smell on your body, so you have it. This kind of perfume. We can use powder and other things, but if it is water, it will probably sell better. Call He Jing later to ask, the women in the clan can invest money in a perfume workshop, and tell your elder brother to ignore it... ..."
Dongxi felt even more uncomfortable.He finished eating quickly, and said to the fourth master: "Fourth uncle, this matter is too big, my nephew has to go back and think about it. I have to figure it out, and come back to answer your words, do you think so?"
Fourth master was more satisfied, such a person rarely stepped on empty space when doing things.
Dongxi just left here, and Hongwang asked to see him.The fourth master snorted: "This kid has a good nose, I guess he smelled it, so he found it."
The firm refused to let Hongwang go, so what did Hongwang do?Only these two boys are bold enough to find out by themselves...
