"Then borrow the 5 taels of silver, and return them?"

"Grandma! Why do you want to pay back the money you can borrow? Just wait, if he dares to come to the house to beat people, we will pay him back!"

"..."

……

The second floor of Wanbao Building.

Qi Yun wondered: "How could it be his family who came here today?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "There can be no waves without wind! Naturally, there are people behind the agitation."

Qi Yun frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't think of a clue, Lord Hou, the people you have offended are like crucian carp crossing the river, you can't count them."

Jia Qiang laughed and cursed angrily, but then shook her head and said, "It is estimated that there is not one person behind the two little princes. There is someone behind the two little princes, probably someone from the clan. Today, these two should have seen the Xiaokang Palace. I was instigated again, and ran over. They are all things that are not on the table. If it wasn’t for the short period of time you voted, you would only vote for it. But for two months in the morning, I will let you vote for these things I went to send myself away."

Qi Yun was also helpless, and said: "In the end, the death of the Supreme Emperor was too sudden..."

If the Supreme Emperor had not died, Jia Qiang's life would never have been as easy as it is now.

Because the Supreme Emperor is not dead, Lin Ruhai's life will not be easy, and he is bound to be besieged by all Jingchu's old officials.

In fact, this was indeed the case before the death of the Supreme Emperor.

Lin Ruhai's official sedan chair was almost overturned...

At that time, Qi Yun's life was much better than this pair of unlucky master and apprentice.

But who would have thought that in the 30th year of Hedong and the 30th year of Hexi, the Supreme Emperor died suddenly. Although there was a lot of turmoil in the court, even now, it is still a bloody storm, and the number of official hats and even human heads falling every day is unknown.

But generally speaking, for Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai was extremely trusted by Emperor Long'an, even Jia Qiang fell into the empress's eyes, formed an in-law relationship with the Yin family, and even deepened his friendship with the fifth prince.

Today, apart from a few families, there are not many people Jia Qiang can't afford to offend.

Jia Qiang was impatient to mention these things, he looked at Qi Yun and asked: "What did you think about what you said yesterday?"

Qi Yun smiled wryly and said: "Master Hou, we recruited great craftsmen from all over the world, and even sought out more craftsmen from Western Fangui, gathered together to study tools, and asked them to teach apprentices...You may not know, Lord Hou, that those great craftsmen are Pay attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice. Master and apprentice are like father and son. This disciple is not randomly accepted, and the requirements for selecting disciples are stricter than those who read sage books! If you want to learn from a master, you must first work for the master's family. More than ten or twenty years. When I am satisfied with my work, the master will teach me what I want. This master is going to point out his disciples to provide for the elderly! Many times, they would rather lose their skills than teach others...

Lord Hou, this is the rule in Luban's business!The rules left by the patriarch are bigger than the sky in their eyes, how can they be forced to teach? "

Jia Qiang snorted, dissatisfied, and said, "If it's easy, I'll still entrust you to this general? Think about it! Gold, silver, land, houses, studies, women... Humans have weaknesses, no matter what he thinks. Whatever you want, satisfy him! As long as he is willing to teach well, it is not impossible to let his descendants become officials."

Qi Yun was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why do you have to spend so much money? Craftsmen and slaves are both lowly, and they belong to the same category as those who advocate excellence. Is it necessary?"

Asking him to be the No. [-] son of Yangzhou to take charge of this matter, Qi Yun couldn't hold back his face.

Jia Qiang frowned slightly and said, "It's fine for other people to think so, but you also think so? Brother De'ang, don't you know how I started my career?"

Hearing this, Qi Yun's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated, "Master Hou, you mean... those prescriptions for dyeing cloth?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Don't you understand? If it weren't for those prescriptions and brocade, at best, I would be just a poor nobleman in Beijing, how much energy would I have? But with that How much profit did a few recipes for dyeing cloth bring me? Without these benefits, how could I support such a large family business? It is the heroes of the founding line of the country. Why do they follow the Jia family so closely? ?Because I can bring them common interests!

Brother De'ang, although you are a scholar, you went to Beijing to participate in the Chunwei, and won the Jinshi, but you are not like the usual pedantic and sour Confucianism.Mrs. Qi's methods will surely make you understand that although officials are the dominant force in this world, officials cannot be passed on from generation to generation, and power is also difficult. Relatively speaking, it is much easier to accumulate a family business.

Of course, this family property is not simply gold and silver, but can..."

There is no need for Jia Qiang to explain, Qi Yun has already understood, and said with bright eyes: "It is an industry that can be easily provoked by idlers, and can also link forces from all directions! The status of the Marquis is precious, and you don't need to worry about the covetousness of tigers, leopards and wolves when you are idle. The fact that those industries can bring wealth is one thing, and the rising power of Goulian will only flourish for a year! Few military masters can complete ten years, but the power of Lord Hou can last forever !"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "How can there be an everlasting power in this world? Unless, you can always maintain a positive and enterprising attitude. Besides, you must know how to share...Brother Deang, it may be difficult to do things down-to-earth at first." , but I believe that the further we go, the more exciting! What we are doing now can not only make us achieve something, leave a name in history, but also benefit the country and billions of people! I still remember when I was in Yangzhou and said to your old man Have you ever passed?"

Qi Yun thought for a while, and said: "Master Hou once said that this world is far bigger than we imagined, and it is also much more extensive than what is recorded in the history! The so-called traitorous heroes in the history books, including my grandfather That kind of ground tiger is actually a toad in a deep well, and can only see the world above his head, jumping around, but he doesn't know to look outside."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Yes! So, don't worry about what I shouldn't have when our power grows bigger and bigger. If so, wouldn't it be the person I look down on the most? Sooner or later , I will take my family, board a ship on a sunny day, cross the ocean, and take a look at the place where the sky and the sea meet. If there is a chance, I also want to see the magnificence of the universe and the sky!

Brother De Ang, there are not many people I admire in my life..."

"Am I one of them?"

Qi Yun originally listened with fascination and admiration, but at the end he was a little excited.

"Stop having sweet dreams!"

After Jia Qiang laughed and cursed, she said, "It's your grandfather, he taught you very well. The salt merchant is clearly a symbol of nouveau riche in the world, but his old man can always control his desires. What's more rare is that, You, who have inherited his teachings, have never been blinded by fame and wealth even though you are engaged in business affairs.

Among the many friends around me, there are really only a handful of people who can enjoy stargazing at night. "

After hearing this, Qi Yun was silent for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Master Hou, even if you want to make me work for you, you don't have to say it so nicely? I'm not a woman... If I hadn't heard a lot about you recently Merry 'good name', I really want to consider whether to keep a distance from you."

"Bullshit!"

Jia Qiang smiled angrily, and asked curiously, "I've been famous outside recently? How do you spread the word?"

Qi Yun was also speechless, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "You always ask me? Jia Rong from your East Mansion died for the funeral. Instead of going to the family temple to see him off, you brought the little widow back to your mother's house... Although it is rumored that the Qin family is a truly disastrous beauty, which is rare to see in a hundred years, but Hou Ye, you are not too particular, are you?

Now I'm asking how I passed it on... how else can I pass it on?It's nothing more than Hou Ye, you eat the best dumplings in your life! "

Jia Qiang laughed when she heard the words, she seemed to have no sense of shame...

Seeing him like this, Qi Yun's expression moved, and he had some guesses in his heart.

Jia Qiang had just told him about her ambitions, and even told his grandfather when she was in Yangzhou.

If such a grand ambition is really realized, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the government and the public.

Although he has shown that his character is noble and pure, he has no ambitions.

But empty words, who would believe it?

Could it be that from this moment on, he began to commit acts of self-defilement?

If so, it would be difficult for him.

Forget it, if the Qi family wants to continue, they cannot do without the protection of powerful people.

Otherwise, with a pack of wolves and hungry tigers waiting around, I'm afraid they won't even be able to leave any bones behind!

His grandfather asked him to go to Beijing with Jia Qiang, and he expected today...

If you vote, just vote!

Just as it was making noise like this, I suddenly heard another noise coming from downstairs.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Building came upstairs to announce: "Master, Lord Hou, the masters of Zhongyangbo Mansion and Changningbo Mansion are here! They brought their own soldiers..."

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard the words, and Qi Yun said: "There are always such ignorant idiots here to spoil the fun, let's go, send them away! Let them pay the price!"
