[Red House] Raiders of life

study.

Lin Ning picked up a pen and wrote down the words "map", "library", "glass" and so on.Then propped his chin and thought carefully.

Atlas?

The Xue family has no military experience and talents, and the Xue family, including the original owner Xue Ling, has no contact with this aspect. Jia Amnesty still has Jia Daishan who can take the blame.The Xue family did not.

This doesn't work, cross it out!

library?

Just like what Lin Yi thought back then, if you want to be famous by this, unless you already have a strong reputation to assist you.Otherwise, useless.

No, cross it out!

Glass?

Although the profit of glass is large, it is only a few years ago, and the business in the future will not be very good.Moreover, in the eyes of the superiors and even the gentry, this kind of thing is just a way to collect money. Compared with the contribution of the people, it is not enough to be knighted.

No, cross it out!

……

It didn't take long for Lin Ning to find out that she had rejected all the papers.But the title of the Xue family must be.Jia Shi Wang Xue, among the four major families, the Xue family does not have a title, and its status is lower. Now it still has a huge business system and the interests of major in-laws to support it.How many years are you waiting for?

Xue Ling wants to revive the lintel, so she has to find a way to bring the Xue family to a higher level.

Lin Ning picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, and suddenly sighed, in fact, when she was thinking about something, she preferred to eat French fries with ketchup.

oh?fries?

right!Potatoes and sweet potatoes!Nima, this is a crop that benefits the country and the people!The yield per mu is over a thousand. With these two things, the food and clothing situation of the people can be greatly improved, and it can even play a beneficial role in disaster years.

However, you need to find these two things first.Nowadays, the Great Wei has never banned the sea, but sea bandits are rampant, and the profit of sea trade is great, but the risk is also great.The Xue family has a sea boat, but they don't often go to sea.Because the Xue family's business development in the local area is good, there is no need to rely on such risks to make money.A few years ago, I went out to sea once, and what I brought back were dioramas, binoculars, and the like, and there was no food.

Although the risk is high, there must be a brave man under the reward.The Xue family is not short of this money.Lin Ning buried his head and spent an hour or two working out the plan, called Xue Song in, and handed him the materials.

Xue Song was a little surprised, "My lord is planning to rearrange the ship?"

Lin Ning nodded, seeing Xue Song worried and said: "I know that the sea is very risky. Therefore, this time, the inspection and maintenance of the sea-going ship must be meticulous. In addition to the necessary procurement personnel, there are also [-] sailors. They must be good hands All personnel are voluntary. You can distribute this, and those who are interested can come to your place to sign up. It doesn’t have to be your own family. Of course, those in our own family or in our own shop have priority.”

"You need to check the applicant's information carefully and keep it locked. I don't want any mess to come to my boat. But whoever is successful in the election will immediately pay 20 taels of silver to the family. After going to sea, each person will be paid every month. It is also 20 taels of silver. Those who return safely will be rewarded with an additional 100 taels. If unfortunately killed, the Xue family will give the family members 500 taels of silver for burial expenses, and one of the children in the family can work in Xue's shop. If you have no children, you can arrange His widow. If he has never married a wife, he can arrange for his parents or brothers and sisters."

20 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year.A trip to sea is usually at most half a year.You can get more than 200 taels for one trip plus rewards, which is enough to buy land and build a house.And even after death, the family still has support.

This treatment, in the present, is really not unreasonable.With such huge profits, there are so many people who will come to gamble.There are bound to be many people who apply, and what's more, some people will apply for the job simply by looking at the 20 taels that can be obtained if they succeed in the election, and will run away when they get the money.

Xue Song finally understood that unless there is no other way out, this is a business that no one is willing to go for. Why did Lin Ning first ask him to investigate all the applicants, not worrying that this matter would become a scandal.

However, Xue Song's expression froze, if he wanted to cheat the Xue family's money under the Xue family's nose, he had to have this ability.

"There is also a need for a steward. You should also use some snacks and choose carefully. Of course, any steward above the second class in our own shops can apply. The salary will be doubled for others. In addition, after returning safely , I promise him [-]% of the profit from the sale of the sea-going ship."

Xue Song shook his hand, although this is only [-]%, everyone knows that maritime trade is a lucrative business, and the huge profits are astonishing.This percentage is enough to make a person a country gentry.

Xue Song nodded again and again, but looked at the pictures at the bottom of Lin Ning's materials, somewhat puzzled, "Master, are these all?"

"These are things I didn't know I had seen in that ancient book before. They are all edible. According to ancient books, these things were grown in the West, and they are common food for Westerners. I drew them all according to my memory. .This trip to the sea, let people focus on looking for these things, and they don’t need a lot of each. I have also marked the required amount. If you can find these things, I will give you an extra 1 taels for each one you find. Each person gets 1000 taels, which will be shared equally among the rest of the ship.”

Xue Song was startled, and looked at Lin Ning in amazement, these things are so precious?Isn't it just something to eat?His master is just throwing money away!

Lin Ning did not intend to explain.To put it bluntly, she was indeed throwing money away. After all, her life was at risk, so she had to give enough benefits.Potatoes, sweet potatoes, if these two things are done, he is not afraid that the emperor will not reward him with a title.In front of the title, the silver is definitely worth it.As for the tomato or something, it is to satisfy his appetite.How can French fries not be served with ketchup!This is standard configuration, standard configuration!

Anyway, the Xue family has money now, so he can afford to spend the money.

After explaining to Xue Song, Lin Ning sat down and inadvertently asked, "Where is the uncle?"

"Rest in the house, and the girl will talk with you. The uncle has been very well-behaved these days, except for eating and sleeping, he is reading." Xue Song couldn't help saying a few good words for Xue Pan, "The girl is afraid that he will be tired. Books hurt the mind, so come and read to the uncle every day."

Lin Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help sighing, he really shouldn't underestimate Baochai who can equal Daiyu.This is only five years old, and he can already recite more than half of the Analects.Although many places do not understand its meaning, she is only five years old!

Lin Ning nodded, "Go and call the uncle over."

Xue Song was a little hesitant, "Master, your injury is still not healed."

"Didn't you get out of bed two days ago?"

It's time to get out of bed, but...Xue Songben wanted to say more, but seeing Lin Ning's face, he didn't dare to say any more, and withdrew.

********

Xue Pan walked very slowly, limping and leading Xue Baochai to look at the study.When I entered the door, I saw Lin Ning was reading a book of Analects, and there was a ruler on the desk beside him.Xue Pan shivered reflexively, and stood at the door, not wanting to go in, lowered his head, and rubbed his feet on the ground.I really want to run but dare not run.

Xue Baochai glanced at Xue Pan, and quickly ran over with short legs to hug Lin Ning, "Daddy!"

Lin Ning reached out and tapped her nose, "Father asked someone to call brother, why did you follow?"

"Daughter hasn't seen Daddy today. Daughter misses Daddy."

Not to mention a word, he was worried that he would beat Xue Pan, and wanted to come to rescue him.Lin Ning didn't pierce, put the book in his hand on the table, picked her up and sat on his lap, and picked up a piece of pastry for her to eat.

Speaking of which, Lin Ning is Demi, but she never thought that Xue Baochai would be a soft and glutinous dumpling-like little girl who was clingy and coquettish.It can be seen that the original owner loves her very much.Just thinking about her temper and helplessness in the original book, Lin Ning couldn't help but think again, after Xue Ling's death, the Xue family fell, and Xue Baochai's life fell apart.This gap does not mean material, even if the Xue family falls, there are still three thousand nails.It's just that psychologically, in the environment...

Lin Ning couldn't help sighing, turned his head and frowned at Xue Pan who was still dawdling at the door, "Don't come in yet!"

Xue Pan picked at the door frame, reluctantly, and walked in.

"I told you a few days ago that you should memorize the book well. How is it doing now?"

"It's...not bad." Xue Pan felt a little guilty.

Lin Ning nodded, "Let's start then?"

"Ah?" Xue Pan's eyes widened.

"Start with the first sentence."

Xue Pan pursed his lips, and then came to his senses, lowered his head and began to recite, "It's not easy to talk about learning while practicing it; it's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar..."

While listening, Lin Ning looked at Baochai, saw that she had eaten three pieces of mung bean cake, and quickly took the pastry plate away. Children have small stomachs, so it is not suitable for digestion, and it is not good to eat too much.Furthermore, sweets are easy to damage teeth.In particular, both Xue Baochai and Xue Pan are fat. It is clear that neither the Wang family nor the Xue family have obesity genes, so it can be seen that it is caused by acquired living habits.

When there was no pastries, Baochai didn't make a fuss, but listened carefully to Xue Pan's endorsement.Xue Pan's memorization is not fluent, and he has bumps and bumps.Occasionally, once or twice he couldn't remember what the next sentence was, Lin Ning didn't scare him, and reminded him aloud.Xue Pan followed Lin Ning's prompt and continued to recite.It's just that the number of times was slightly more than two times, and Lin Ning's complexion was not very good.After all, the number of words in the Analects of Confucius is not too many, and it is not for him to memorize them all. Lin Ning circled the standard that he can reach at his age in this era.

Xue Pan also sensed Lin Ning's displeasure, and while he was hesitating, sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.Xue Baochai saw it, and later on, when Xue Pan frowned and didn't know how to recite it, he could always pinch his mouth to signal.But she thought she was sitting on Lin Ning's lap, with her back facing Lin Ning, and Lin Ning couldn't see it.

Lin Ning didn't pierce it. After Xue Pan had finished reciting it, he put Xue Baochai down, took the ruler on the table and said, "There are eleven places in total. As I said, if you make a mistake, make a mistake. Come here."

What Lin Ning said was calm, but Xue Pan trembled, and hurriedly said: "There are no eleven places, only... only seven places."

Lin Ning felt it was amused, "Do you think you and Baochai's little actions can be hidden from me? I remind you of the seven places, and Baochai reminds you of the four places."

After finishing speaking, both Xue Pan and Xue Baochai lowered their heads.With a sore nose, Xue Pan endured crying and slowly walked to Lin Ning's side, but unconsciously covered his buttocks with his hands. Although he was able to get out of bed, it still hurt.Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Father, my brother's injury is still not healed, so I can't be beaten anymore. Daddy will spare my brother this time."

Lin Ning didn't even move his eyeballs, he just looked at Xue Pan and said, "You have a wound on your butt, I won't move, just stick out my palm."

These, Baochai have gone the same way.Xue Pan could only follow suit.Lin Ning slapped it down, Xue Pan flinched in pain, but when he saw Lin Ning's expression, he didn't dare to shrink his hand halfway, so he had to stretch it back again.Enduring the eleven boards by force, the whole hand is already red.

Lin Ning said to Baochai again, "It's your turn."

Xue Pan was startled, and even forgot his own pain, "Dad, don't hit my sister. My sister is helping me. It's all my fault. Daddy, hit me. My sister is tender."

Tender hands, as if his chubby little white hands were not tender.Lin Ning complained in his heart, but he was also very relieved.But she is a principled person.He just looked at Xue Baochai and didn't speak.Xue Baochai stretched out her hand obediently.Lin Ning lifted it up high and lowered it lightly. The board fell with just one touch, three hits and it was over.

Xue Pan was jealous for a while, feeling very wronged in his heart.Why was it so hard when he hit him, but it was so light when it came to my sister.Well, it looks like it's my sister.He didn't want his sister to be beaten either, so he didn't care.

Xue Baochai didn't feel any pain at all, and stared at Lin Ning with big round eyes. Lin Ning sighed, "It's for my brother's own good that I taught my brother a lesson. You helped my brother today. If you make my brother feel that you will help him in the future, he will So don’t read it carefully, wouldn’t it be harming my brother?”

Xue Baochai was stunned for a while, then quickly understood, lowered her head and said, "I was wrong."

Lin Ning rubbed her head in satisfaction and said, "Go back."

He only asked her to go back without mentioning Xue Pan, Xue Baochai looked at his brother hesitantly.Lin Ning smiled and said, "Daddy is talking to brother. Don't worry, don't hit brother."

Only then did Xue Baochai respond with peace of mind, and took the hand of the girl outside the door to the inner courtyard.

Xue Pan was even more frightened.He didn't feel anything about talking!Xue Pan thought of the pain that day when his pants were stripped and he was beaten unconscious, and suddenly his body trembled involuntarily.Although after so many days, most of the injury on his buttocks had healed, but he suddenly felt that the pain was still burning.

Lin Ning reached out to grab him, Xue Pan instinctively shuddered suddenly, but found that he was pulled into a warm embrace.Lin Ning broke his hand and rubbed the medicine for him himself.

Xue Pan looked at Lin Ning ignorantly, and saw that his father was really just rubbing medicine on him, and he didn't intend to beat him again, so his body gradually calmed down.Lin Ning patted his back and sighed.The injury on his hand was not serious. After using the medicine prepared by Lingquan, Lin Ning was not worried.Her own hands are still measured.

Although the task she set was not difficult, but Xue Pan was not such a smart person, especially lacking a talent in reading.It's just that she thought at the beginning that such things as rote memorization can still make up for it with diligence.Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was seriously injured, mentally weak, and he may not be able to make up for it if he wants to.

It's just that she said it out of her mouth, so she had to be punished.Otherwise, Xue Pan would feel that if she said it counted, she would not punish him if she couldn't memorize it anyway, so she would be lazy.She must create a majestic image in front of her children.Besides, if you can make eleven mistakes, it's true that you didn't recite it so carefully.I had to let him know how bad it was, but I didn't plan to really punish him.Therefore, the board falls lightly.The injury looked red, but it was because Xue Pan's skin was tender, and it disappeared within three days at most after applying the medicine.

After wiping his hands, Lin Ning looked at Xue Pan's butt again, "How many times have you wiped the medicine today?"

Xue Pan hurriedly grabbed his trousers and replied eagerly: "It's been wiped, it's all been wiped."

This is shy and embarrassing!Lin Ning patted him on the head lightly, laid him flat on his lap, and took off his pants in two or three strokes.Looking at the injury, I have a bottom in my heart.Sure enough, it was the wound medicine made by Quanqian Lingquan, and it healed quite quickly.The recovery ability of children is also strong, and it will not be worse after a few days of raising them like this.

After Lin Ning helped Xue Pan apply the medicine and put on his trousers, he saw Xue Pan crying so hard.

"What's the matter? But it hurt you when you applied the medicine just now?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Pan suddenly got into Lin Ning's arms and hugged Lin Ning tightly, "I thought... I thought Daddy wouldn't love me anymore."

Lin Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pulled him out, and wiped away his tears, "You are father's son, how could father not love you. Don't even think about what you did before. How could father not be angry!"

Speaking of this, Lin Ning sighed, "But I hope you will really change those bad temper and bad habits."

This sentence was quite harsh, Xue Pan nodded repeatedly.Lin Ning said again: "There is nothing to do in the future, Daddy will not go out again. Stay at home and teach you how to study."

"Daddy isn't going out?"

The original owner was in business, although many things did not require him to do it himself, but the Xue family had a lot of shops, so patrolling was inevitable, and going out was a frequent thing.

"Business is important, but you are more important. If you don't succeed, even if Daddy wins tens of millions of gold and silver, you will lose them all. Maybe you have to take the whole family into it."

Xue Pan lowered his head, not daring to speak.I feel very uncomfortable.On the one hand, I felt that my father didn't go out because of me, and he didn't even have to do business.I am very happy.At the same time, I feel that this is a miserable situation, and I will never be able to play happily again, but what should I do.

"In a few days, when your injuries are completely healed, you will be moved out of the inner courtyard. I have also selected the courtyard, which is next to me. You are a man's family, so you cannot be kept in the hands of a woman in the inner chamber."

Lin Ning didn't give Xue Pan the right to refuse at all. Looking at his chubby figure, he continued, "When the time comes, I will run and exercise with my father every morning. Eat less sweets and greasy things."

If you are so fat, how will you marry a daughter-in-law in the future?And too fat is not good for your health.

Xue Pan's brain was hurting, and he only felt that his days of suffering were coming, but he still bit the bullet and agreed.

Lin Ning nodded in satisfaction, "Can I still go?"

Xue Pan raised his head, feeling confused for a while.Lin Ning had just rubbed the medicine on him, so he knew his injury. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay. Let's go to the carriage. You can rest in the carriage for a while."

Xue Pan didn't ask where he was going, but followed Lin Ning out the door with a limp.After getting into the carriage, Lin Ning said: "Since you can get out of bed and go, you should go and apologize to the gentlemen and don't be negligent. As for going to school, it will be fine if your injury recovers in a few days. I changed a shift for you, and you will be under Mr. Min from now on."

"Mr. Min?" Xue Pan's heart skipped a beat. He had seen Mr. Min teach students a lesson.

Lin Ning didn't know what he was thinking, because he was such an idiot in the past, so his tone inevitably became a little more serious, "A teacher for a day, a father for life. From now on, Mr. Min will be just like a father. If you dare to be half right Mr. Min is disrespectful, I will never forgive you!"

Xue Pan shook his body and quickly responded, "Yes!"

When they arrived at the gate of the academy, the two got out of the car, and Lin Ning took Xue Pan inside. He didn't go to the dean and the teacher, but took him to the original class. It was recess time.Everyone was reviewing and playing around, but when they saw Lin Ning and Xue Pan coming in, they all stopped and looked over one after another.

Lin Ning pushed Xue Pan, "Whoever you bullied, go and apologize to each other one by one."

Xue Pan walked over one seat at a time, everyone was dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropped, Xue Pan, who only came here to boss around, was there such a good-natured voice?Oh no no no!It's not a good voice, it's clearly a low voice.

Probably more than surprise, when Xue Pan was talking about the whole story and saying "I'm sorry" one by one, everyone waved their hands and said "It's okay, it's okay".

There are twenty people in a class, and Xue Pan himself must be added.In this way, Xue Pan actually apologized to the seventeen people.Although he had read those materials, Lin Ning couldn't help but turn dark again when he saw such a situation. Hearing Xue Pan's words, there were still things he hadn't found! ! !

If the dean hadn't happened to come, Lin Ning felt that he might be able to drag Xue Pan over and beat him again.

********

With the dean in hand and several gentlemen by his side, Lin Ning asked his servants to bring some cups of tea, and asked Xue Pan to kneel down and offer tea to the gentlemen as an apology.Since Lin Ning had been here before, he had already spoken modestly and made things clear.So everyone didn't have too much difficulty.

But after paying homage to the last Mr. Min, Lin Ning didn't let Xue Pan get up, and asked someone to bring another cup of tea.

"Please ask Mr. Min to drink another cup of tea. The dog is naughty, and Mr. Min will need to worry about it in the future."

Mr. Min was taken aback for a moment, and he naturally understood that the cup of apology tea just now was regarded as apprentice tea.He looked at Lin Ning, "Everyone knows my rules. I won't change the rules for your Xue family, let alone favor anyone."

Lin Ning smiled, "It's natural. Pan'er is your student, so I will do as you say."

Only then was Mr. Min satisfied, but Xue Pan drank his tea.Lin Ning breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Xue Pan's legs trembling a little.Knowing that this kneeling person was involved in the injury on his butt, he felt a little uncomfortable.You Qi walked such a long way today, so he quickly reached out to help him up, let him lean on his body, said a few words to the gentlemen, and then got up to leave.

However, Lin Ning did not expect that her appearance today would blow up the academy.

After the dean lured Lin Ning and Xue Pan away, all the students from the academy, whether they were from this class or not, poured in one after another.

"Is Xue Pan out of his mind and actually apologized to me? He also asked me how to forgive him?"

"Is this still Xue Pan? Isn't this Xue Pan? I think this Xue Pan must have been dropped."

"Yes! It must have been dropped! He actually said that he would give me back the Langhao pen that he snatched away."

"What a smack! He was taught by his father, so he dare not be an asshole anymore. You forgot that he beat Feng Yuan before, and his father took off his pants and beat him until he was covered in blood."

"Oh, yes. My second aunt's nephew came back after seeing it and said it was a disaster. My father never hit me so hard."

"Did you see that, he is walking with a limp today, the injury must not healed. Especially if you pay attention to his hands, he must have been hit by a board, and I bet he just got it."

"Ah, he was beaten by his father again? The one who came in just now is his father, right? I looked at someone who listened well. It is said that the Xue family is bullying others. I don't think it's wrong to be able to hold Xue Pan to apologize. .”

"You have forgotten that Anan, who was beaten by Xue Pan before, was seriously injured and bedridden for more than half a month, but Xue Pan actually threw money at him."

"Master Xue was not at home at that time. I heard that Master Xue had been away for more than half a year, and he just came back not long ago. If Master Xue was there at that time, it would definitely not be like this. Right now, Master Xue has only been back for about ten days Whoever Xue Pan bullied didn’t receive any compensation.”

"Yes, my family also received it. It was delivered by Mr. Xue himself. At that time, I was shocked. Who is that, Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue is very kind. He also said that when Xue Pan recovered from his injuries, let him I apologized to myself, and I felt that I had heard it wrong. Unexpectedly, Xue Pan really came to apologize to me today."

"I think from this point of view, the Xue family is pretty good, and Mr. Xue is quite reasonable. He doesn't seem to be bullying at all. They are all tiger fathers and no dogs. Looking at it this way, Xue Pan is probably young, ignorant, and not as good as you said. Bad."

"Yeah, I've been with him for so long, and I used to think he was bad, but today he was able to apologize in such a low voice. I don't think he's really bad."

Fortunately, Lin Ning is not here, otherwise, I would probably sigh, Stockholm Syndrome!After you have been bullied and oppressed by a person for too long, as long as he shows a little bit of kindness to you, you will have a good impression of him and become dependent on him.But this is also a good thing for him and Xue Pan.It will be easier for Xue Pan to integrate into the group again in the future.Is this also an added bonus?
