Chapter 138 (3)
Kangxi asked him to stand firm in Zhenglanqi and win people's hearts.For the subordinate officials of Zuo Ling, those who have family difficulties will be subsidized.Don't do it too much at a time, you can't stand it too many times.

As for the Eight Fujins, they have always had no worries about food and clothing, and are generous in their actions.When it was discovered, the money spent was no less than that of the boss who built the temple.

Who would have thought that Tianhuang nobles were also worried about money?
The first to make noise was the Prince Zhi's Mansion.In October, Kangxi visited the Yongding River Works and took a stroll outside. When he came back, he found that Li Tianfu, a senior scholar, was dead. He was buried again and given a posthumous title.

Yinti still wanted to send money to the bereaved family, so he said to Da Fujin, "You should pay more attention to this matter." He also had other things to worry about, for example, if Li Tianfu died, the position of a bachelor would be free. So, how do we fight for this vacancy for the person who wants to give it?

Da Fujin couldn't bear it any longer. Since the beginning of winter, he had bought annual gifts one after another, and spent tens of thousands of silver in a few days.She finally asked Yinti: "Master, what method do you have to settle this account? If things go on like this, the money will not be enough for two years. You can't think of a way without money."

Yinti still attached great importance to his wife's opinion, and after making up his mind to discuss it with Mingzhu later, he said casually, "I'll go to Mingzhu later and see what he can do."

Well, Mingzhu is a capable person, from a poor guy to now a millionaire, he is very capable.Here in Dafujin, her father is the backbone of the Ming Party, and she has heard Mingzhu's words are very good and powerful since she was a child, so she doesn't doubt anything at this time, and said to Yinti: "When are you coming back? Do you want to prepare a supper?"

"Let's just stew that duck porridge. The ground dragon in the house is too hot these two days, and it's a little dry."

"it is good."

Mingzhu's advice to Yinti was no different from Suo'etu's advice to the prince, but it was "If King Zhi is short of money now, this servant can support you here. If you want to go long-term, there is a way." "Nowadays, working in agriculture, industry and commerce is the most profitable one by one."

"How to say?"

"If you are an official, someone will give you money. You are already the king of the county. In a Mid-Autumn Festival, you may not receive less, but you can't exchange it for cash. This is a slave. You can do it now. You can’t do it, you have to have a good reputation, and from now on you only accept servants from the sect. As long as you give a little hint, they will send you more and more things and money in the future.”

"What about the merchant?"

"Lv Buwei, a Puyang native, came to Handan. When he saw Qin Zhizi and another man, he asked his father to say: 'How many times is the profit of farming?' He said: 'Ten times.' 'How many times is the profit of pearls and jade?' He said: 'Hundred times'."

"So they have money! That's good, but I'm a prince, do I want to do business? Oh! Call my servants to go? Or..." Collect protection fees.

Look, there are only a few monotonous ways for these people to get money.

Mingzhu had no choice but to drop another bag of books: "How many times does it cost to establish a ruler and establish a country? It says 'innumerable.'," and then explained, "Officials and businessmen have the same reason. If you help them, they will naturally There is filial piety. They show filial piety to you because you help him. However, you can’t just do one thing.”

Mingzhu taught Yinti the way to get rich for a long time, and she almost said: "Don't do it, I'll give you the money and forget it, is one hundred thousand a year enough?"

Yinti finally understood: "Success, I will ask my servants to do the business that is easy to make money. If it is difficult to get it, I will join the gang. Or, let them vote for me."

You get it.

As a senior corrupt person who has been involved in corruption and accepting bribes for a long time, and often asks for bribes, and is still afraid of his ambitions after being involved, Mingzhu doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing so.Threatening and luring such things, he himself did not do less.His so-called 'big brother needs a good reputation' is just saying 'clean your ass and smile when you grab money'.

It's not like Suo'etu was beaten badly. Although he hasn't changed his ways, he knows how to avoid landmines.It's not like the Shi family, which has a ready-made network, and the government and businessmen can collude all the way to the end.

After discussing the matter of money, they began to plot the position of the Grand Bachelor.Mingzhu has two strategies: [-]. If she can't show up now, let her party members perform and push her own people up;

"Master, master, here we come." Qing Jin came over happily.

It was cold at that time, and Shujia had just come back from the outside: "I come back every day, why are you so happy?"

"It's our people from the south who have returned."

"Huh?" It's already November, and it's been several months since the order was issued, "That's good, I'm going to order another New Year ceremony today, and they just happened to come. What did you bring?"

Qing Jin handed over the list: "It's all here."

The paper folded into an accordion shape is about half an inch thick, and when it is pulled open, it is written in petite lowercase letters, and the words of greetings are also written on the top.Shujia looked at the names of the staff first, Qingjin's elder brother, Hongxiu's uncle, two other Guangzhou businessmen recommended by Shi Lin, who reported earlier, and finally Suo'etu's team.

After several incidents of domestic slaves defecting or fleeing, Suo'etu's vigilance has been greatly improved, and at the same time, the unsteady elements have almost left.Mr. Suo Xiang picked clever children from the family, and put the whole family in his house as errands.

It seems that the whole family is poor, but in fact there are a lot of people who want to escape. The goal is too big, it is difficult to disperse and transfer, and it is very easy to control.

Shujia laughed: "It's hard for them. They have to travel and pick goods at such a short time."

Open the first two pages to see the official content, which are all kinds of things that everyone honored to the Prince’s family, including a coral tree for the Prince as an ornamental bonsai, and a pair of carved rubies for the Crown Princess (the following is the pigeon. blood red), a play box for children...

Further down is the list of goods: "Two pieces of large ivory, one large Western clock, six small clocks, pocket watch 12 yuan, one large dressing mirror, four half-length mirrors, 12 target mirrors, [-] yuan of wonderful amber, new machine serge Eight pieces of satin, twelve pieces of medium serge satin, five pieces of gold damask, fifty cans each of clove oil, rose flower oil, sandalwood oil, and osmanthus oil..."

The content of this item is written in detail under each major item, and the item of pocket watch is listed in detail: one piece of plain gold shell, one piece of gold shell with twine patterns, one piece of gold shell inlaid with gemstones, etc.The following small chime clocks are: a small chime clock in the style of a four-post pavilion, a small chime clock in the baby play bouquet (Shujia suspects that it is the type of little angels surrounding the dial), and so on.

There are also some gems below: pearls from the South China Sea, large and small coral beads, a few branches of coral about three or four feet high, and medium and high-grade gemstones of various colors from Ceylon.

There are also some colored glazes, all of which are marked with "different style XX cups" and "different style XX bowls", presumably because of different patterns.Some also specifically note 'transparency'.

Shujia saw the end and asked Qingjin, "How much money do these cost?"

Qing Jin said: "I heard from outsiders that their things, especially these jewels, are much cheaper than those in Beijing, but the tax is high, and they have to open up joints, and they have to make a lot of money. Only when they arrive in Beijing do they feel Expensive. These are not all spent by our family themselves, but also to join in. The four old masters in the south are counted as part of the deal. The shops in Guangdong and Guangxi are old hands with poisonous eyes, and there are bosses in them. What about human capital?"

The profits of luxury goods, tsk tsk.Lu Buwei's father said that it would be a hundred times the profit, which is an exaggeration, but the quadrupling is indeed guaranteed.

Shujia picked pocket watches, amber, and target mirrors from the inside, and ticked off the patterns in detail: "Send these over here to have a look." She ticked off both sides of the half-length mirror, leaving only the gemstones marked for herself. , and left a small box of twenty large beads: "Ask them to order a few small boxes."

He left the list, and when Yinreng came back to discuss it, Qing Jin told a joke outside: "They all said that doing errands for the masters is considered a high incense. Not only does it make money happily, but it also saves a lot of rubbing Grinding. They have been in Beijing for three days, unloading, storing, copying documents, and repacking them into boxes. They have been busy all day and night, but they laughed so hard after seeing the staff in Zhiwang's mansion."

"How to say?"

"Zhi Wang's mansion opened a pawnshop last month. It is a business that can make a profit as long as you have eyesight. And Mingzhu gave him some old people who have accumulated years. The palm eyes are enough. But Zhi Wang still thinks it's profitable. The earning is low and the earning is slow. Those who wanted to start a jewelry business also sent doormen there, but there was a shop, but they couldn’t recruit strong craftsmen and fellows. Guess what happened?”

"?"

"Those who do this business have a lot of insiders, and they are connected from the source to a line. No one leads the way, and they can't get in. If they go in, they will suffer. The things they buy in Guangzhou are more expensive than normal. Three times, and they are all substandard, and some simply use another one to replace this one. Mr. Chen, who was recommended by the fourth old master, laughed when he saw the guy in Zhiwang's Mansion: This person just came back from us before he beat us. The killing of him really makes people wake up from their dreams with laughter."

"The shop was only opened at the Prince's Mansion, why..."

"Afterwards they inquired, this man was originally made in a neighboring house, and later came after him in order to become the backer of the Prince's Mansion. You think, he was originally a clueless man, but now he is still at a loss."

Shujia rubbed her brows: "Why didn't he find someone who understands?" Every palace has its own business, and the best businesses have their backers. If you want to abandon one and invest in another, it depends on the original owner. The family answered or not.It's not easy to rob the master, but you can't cure a slave like you?You don't have to do it yourself for safekeeping.

Qing Jin came up and rubbed her shoulders: "Didn't the slave just say that? Mingzhu came here to help him find capable people. He couldn't help him. He was anxious and wanted to interfere with everything. Mingzhu herself hasn't been able to take all the benefits of the world yet." I want the servant to say, among these businesses, the pawn shop is the best, Li Gao, you don’t need to run around, as long as you get the warehouse in order, he has people with good eyesight, and he is still the capital of the palace. In fact, the journey is a risk if you want to go , but also to watch the weather and guard against accidents.”

"That's true. All the princesses who marry in the palace have a pawnshop as one of their properties."

It is said that not long after, the jewelry shop of Prince Zhi's Mansion collapsed, and since then Yinti has been ruthless in robbing others' established connections. This is a later story.

When Yinfeng came back, he was also full of spring breeze. Kangxi went to Yeling, and appointed personnel appointments on the way: Ma Qi, Folun, Xiong Cilu, and Zhang Ying were the bachelors, Chen Tingjing was the secretary of the official department, Li Zhenyu was the secretary of the household department, Du Zhen is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Malhan and Fan Chengxun are the ministers of the Ministry of War, and Wang Shizhen is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Except for one Fu Lun, everyone else is within the tolerable range, especially Zhang Ying and Xiong Cilu, both of whom are his teachers.

Hearing that his business is going well, and that the boss has also suffered a hidden loss, Yinfeng couldn't stop smiling: "We don't want to keep all these things. We can pick a few usable ones and put them in our account at discounted prices." Let’s ask them to sell the rest. The New Year’s gifts are almost ready, and they won’t be used very much this year.”

"Okay," Shujia reported what she left behind, "They each have something to honor you, me and the children. This one is kept, and they are grown up. Each of them is equipped with a pocket watch to see the time, an amber mirror, It can be added to the princesses to play..."

"It's up to you." What Yinfeng thought in his heart was: This is a very good deal, and we can't mess it up like the boss.As long as Suo'etu and the Shi family don't quarrel, it would be a good way for the two families to promote each other.

Voice-over: From then on, stores in the capital began to suffer bad luck, and the princes wanted to subsidize their households and seize business on a large scale.The melee has begun.
