A piece of paper

As it was getting dark, at the dinner table in Chen's old house, Xian Jin mentioned the matter of Miss Xiong's visit to Hope Star.

Chen Fu was not there, today Chen Zuo Niang was recruited, and Chen Fu attended as the honorary representative of the long house and financial accounting representative. It is said that the standard was very high. field.

Before leaving, Chen Fu looked up and drank a bowl of medicinal soup that Doctor Wang was prescribing, as if dying, "Remember, I went for the Chen family."

I know you're panicking, but don't panic first.

Xian Jin sounded the alarm to Zhang Wenbo early in the morning - her father is an extremely weak second-generation ancestor, who is crippled by drinking, who is responsible for drinking, and who is responsible for Chen Fu lying on the bed for the next [-] days, groaning All the needs of Haw, including but not limited to a series of material needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and a series of spiritual needs such as playing and singing.

It is rare for Chen Fu to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire for the Chen family, so he naturally missed the hexagram of Miss Bear.

At the dinner table, Xian Jin and Chen Jianfang sat around a small round table.

"Arsenic for A, honey for B. For the Chen family, Cui Heng tore off the face of the Chen family and stepped on it, which can be described as a great shame. For the Xiong family, it seems that this is nothing. Afraid that the son-in-law will not take advantage of the situation."

Xian Jin took a sip of mung bean, pumpkin, and millet porridge, and picked up a piece of half-cooked cabbage mixed with raw ones. The porridge was sticky and sweet, while the cabbage was crispy and salty, and it stuck to his throat. Xian Jin squinted his eyes comfortably.

Chen Jian Fang didn't have the habit of eating and talking, he didn't eat or sleep, he was a real gentleman.

However, Chen Fu and Xian Jin wanted to sing a stage opera at the dinner table.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Chen Jianfang naturally picked up a piece of diving cabbage, followed Xian Jin, squinted his eyes comfortably, and said with a smile, "Because the status is not equal. The Cui family has something to ask, we You can't control it, you can only ask for what you want; try it, Cui Heng and his mother, dare to say a cruel word in front of the Futai adults?"

That must not dare.

In front of Magistrate Xiong, even if Cui Heng wanted to fart, he would crush it and release it in sections.

Xian Jin was bored, lowered his head and finished the millet porridge, then raised his head and asked, "In what kind of situation, merchants can get preferential treatment from the government?"

Chen Jianfang did not hesitate, "Someone in the family is an official in the court, this is one; the other is the imperial merchant."

The latter Xianjin knew.

The Eight Great Imperial Merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
Appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the royal business, such as copper and iron, salt, tea horse, silk, fur, silver casting and other important business, the court can safely hand it over to others?Of course not, these businesses must be firmly controlled by the imperial court.

Furthermore, it is also necessary to manage royal assets, such as shops in various places, land, and ginseng planting in Northeast Wusuli during the Qing Dynasty, etc., or to produce and supply various materials for the court, such as Cao Xueqin, the Jiangnan weaving handed down by Xiaoqin’s family, This is what I do for a living;
In addition, if the emperor ordered, the imperial merchants would also need to deliver military rations and armaments to the imperial court.

In general, Huangshang is the wage earner of the sage, the hub of the imperial court, and the setter of the royal family to make money.

Shen Wansan helped Zhu Yuanzhang repair the blood——He helped Teacher Taizu build the Great Wall with all his heart and soul. Teacher Taizu said that our Great Wall can be seen by repairing it with gray bricks. Face, not to replace gray bricks with marble.

As soon as the Great Wall was finished, Teacher Taizu thought, "You little son of a bitch, you can use marble to build the Great Wall. I'm afraid the hoes at home are all made of gold!", so he found a reason to count the 15 billion taels of silver that Shen Wansan had accumulated. Charged.

What does this tell future generations?
Don't take pity on the boss just because he is a delicate flower.

If you feel sorry for a man, you will be unlucky for half your life, if you feel sorry for your boss, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Pulling away, Xian Jin cleared his cough and turned his thoughts back, "Then the Chen family"

Look, does the Chen family still have a chance?

Although imperial merchants are high-risk occupations, they are high-input, high-risk, and rewarding. The eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to Beijing to report on their duties at the end of each year, and Shunzhi personally hosted a banquet.

If you can be top-notch, why not work hard?
Today is Cui Heng, and tomorrow is Cui Wai. If the Chen family is humble for a day, there will be countless people blocking the road. Those who collect protection fees will collect protection fees, and those who buy road money will buy road money. The Chen family touched the Chen family's thigh.

Xian Jin also wants to have the confidence of Little Bear girl.

She also wants the people around her to bully and dominate others.

Chen Jianfang's chopsticks faltered, and he raised his head in doubt, "I have two years left before I can take the tribute examination, and if the second-class ranks on the list, if the ranking is high, I can enter the Hanlin. After three to five years of writing in the Hanlin, I can enter the sixth department, and the sixth department After more than ten years of rotation, it is not a dream to become a cabinet minister."

This is a very clear path.

Why find another way, and take another dangerous path that no one has gone through before and has no experience to follow?
Xian Jin didn't know how to explain, so he lowered his head and poured himself a cup of white peach and almond green tea that Miss Xiong drank in the afternoon. This tea can't be drunk hot. Drinking this tea hot is like eating iced meat at barbecue, which is not only strange but also uncomfortable.

Chen Jianfang frowned again, "Why are you drinking herbal tea again?" As he spoke, he prepared to pick up the copper tea stove.

The last time she drank herbal tea, Chen Jian poured a pot of hot water for her conveniently.

Semi-cold lukewarm tea, like diet coke.

Healthy, but not necessary.

Xian Jin took a look at Chen Jianfang, turned his head, and filled himself with herbal tea with a "gulululu". He even bent down and took two well-watered grapes from the ice cup and put them in it.

Xian Jin raised his head and drank the iced tea in one gulp, and by the way, put the bottom of the teacup with no drop left in front of Chen Jianfang like a coincidence.

Chen Jianfang quietly watched Xian Jin finish his drink, and after a moment of silence, Fang lowered his head, picked up a large pinch of dried shredded mushrooms with chopsticks, and quickly ate it with the rice porridge.

Afterwards, Chen Jianfang gently placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table, pursed his lips, stood up, nodded slightly to Xianjin, and turned to the inner room.

The whole process was quiet and calm, without a trace of straightforward emotion.

Xian Jin held the teacup with his hands, his eyes were calm and docile.

"The shopkeeper and Mr. Erlang quarreled?"

When Zhang's mother came out to pack the dinner, she looked at the table and bit her ear with Shuo'er.

Suo'er was confused.

"No, the two are very harmonious." Suo'er tried hard to recall, "Erlang Jun looked forward to a bright future, and the shopkeeper also ate two grapes."

Mom Zhang:?

Mother Zhang turned her head to look at the leftovers on the table.

Mr. Erlang's catering was completely exhausted, but Sister Jin's catering left a few items.

It's not in line with common sense.

Usually, if Mr. Erlang can't finish the food, Sister Jin will ask for an extra portion.

Now it's reversed, which is slightly abnormal.

Zhang's mother had an academic discussion with Suo'er on this important discovery, and Suo'er spread his hands and said, "Every dog ​​likes to eat shit, let alone Mr. Erlang!"

Mom Zhang:? ?
Forget it, this girl only shines when eating and learning to read.

At other times, it was like being possessed by the third master.
