Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 360: There is no need to be polite to my family.

"Those who have a loose mind and cannot study carefully are good materials for doing business."

How can I say this? Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Everything I have been exposed to since I was a child smells like copper. When I hear these things, it is inevitable that I will feel uneasy.

The more active your mind is, the less able you are to study well.

"Shang Zhongyong" explains it very clearly. Being smart as a child means that you have early intelligence. But in middle school, you have no intention to study. It is because you have read too much, seen too much, and your heart is moved, so you can't be still.

On the contrary, some people were dull and dull when they were young, but when they get older, they can calm down and study hard, and they can become successful in the future.

Premature wisdom will lead to injury.

As for 'donation', it's even simpler, with eight words: 'clearly mark the price, sell the official title'.

In fact, if you look through history, you can see many shadows.

Just like this 'donation' system, this thing doesn't just have to be rich, it also has regulations, and you must check your origin.

What Xu Damao is thinking is that it is 1960 now, and a hundred years ago it was 1860. This hundred years is definitely not accurate, it should be that he got on the train of setting up factories. To be honest, it is really not easy to persist until now. .

This must be done in all directions.

In the previous dynasty, there were three types of people who were unable to become officials for life. The first was those who were engaged in lowly professions, and those with "lower-rate" work experience were common, such as barbers and fortune tellers.

It is difficult to guard against broken silver.

Xu Damao's eyes flashed through the rooms on the other two sides. They were filled with real gold and silver, gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and famous porcelains.

"Circumstances create heroes, and times can also trap heroes."

"My grandfather gave up his writing and returned to business a hundred years ago, and that's how the Lou family's current family fortune came about. After three dynasties, it has been in turmoil. Will this family fortune be returned in the end?"

There are still a few silver winter melons on the shelf.

Don't think that the fortune teller is a high-ranking person, and he is very powerful just because he speaks in a convoluted manner and you can't understand it.

This thing weighs 200 pounds each.

Do you have a sense of déjà vu?

Otherwise, when there is war, people will just say it is gone and it will be gone.

Xu Damao also burned three sticks of incense.

Mainly to prevent guys from stealing.

In the past, it was not used to prevent bandits from robberies. It was a joke to say that it was too heavy to carry away. As long as it was valuable, not to mention 200 kilograms of silver winter melons and 2,000 kilograms of stone lions could be moved overnight for you.

These things are hard currency.

I have to mention the merchants of the past. The merchants of the past did not have so many fancy operations. They just bought low and sold high, set up a caravan, picked up a few carriages of goods and went on the road. The scraps of silver they received were turned into silver pimples. , it’s such a set of processes.

The second is domestic slaves, that is, those who were born as slaves or worked as long-term workers in wealthy families. For example, Zhou Shuren's childhood playmate "Run Tu" was a long-term worker. He had no chance to become an official and could not donate money. Not even taking your money.

Finally, there were those whose grandfathers had serious crimes. This was equivalent to a "zhengxun" trial. Whether it was scientific examinations or official donation, the review at that time had to provide the resumes of three generations. These three types of people had no way to take the imperial examination, no way to donate to official positions, and no one. Any opportunity to become an official.

After Lou's father offered incense and kowtowed here, he went to the next room.

You can only spend it in this area with banknotes, but you can spend it wherever you want with gold bars, and you can exchange money at any time.

Of course, the road is very dangerous in the chaos of war, so a businessman must be alert and active, and it is best to be well-rounded.

"My ancestral home is Huizhou, which is a place where birds don't shit. I have only been back twice in half my life. Do you think I still have a chance to go back and see it?"

Xu Damao hadn't thought that much at first, but after hearing these words, he suddenly understood that his father-in-law was still testing him.

Again, the thinking of rich people like this is different from that of ordinary people. Safety is the first priority, and they may have already prepared several escape routes.

As for whether there is a hometown plot, there is definitely one. No one is willing to leave their hometown.

However, when you know that your personal safety cannot be guaranteed, all plots are gone. Even if there is only one well in your hometown, you can carry it away. "I didn't practice cultivation in my previous life and was born in Huizhou."

"You're right, that's the truth. The poor mountains and rivers are divided into fields. If you just hope to farm, you won't have enough to eat. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, you have to go out to work because you can really starve to death at home. The efforts of several generations have made our country Zhicai settled in Sijiucheng, and I don’t know what’s going on with the ancestral hall in my hometown, and I don’t know if they will blame me when I die.”

"You can go back anytime you want. Everything is peaceful now and the road is open. With your current status, you can go back anytime you want. Maybe there will be someone to protect you along the way."

"Let me think about it."

"I know what those people outside are looking at. It's nothing more than these belongings. Do you think that if I hand these over, everything will be fine?"

Xu Damao:......

He just felt that Lou's father was a little naive.

If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. The king of hell is easy to meet, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Using chicken feathers as arrows, saying one word at the top and making a clean cut at the bottom are all things that we have learned over and over again.

Could this be testing his attitude?

"I think the more you take out, the more people will think you keep, the more you keep nothing, the less they will expect from you."

This is human nature.

You can make endless amounts of money, but you can't spend endless amounts of money. Otherwise, people will really think that your home has a cornucopia and all the money is blown by the strong wind.

"What you said makes sense. If you have a way with these things, just find someone to transport them away. I'll give them to you."

Two houses of gold, silver and jewelry were given away as promised.

If he didn't hand it over to the leader, he would end up giving everything he said to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao couldn't even estimate the value of so many things.

It is said that the gold, silver and jewels of Cixi’s eight carriages can be found for decades without giving up. These two houses are not too small, right?

"Do many people know about these things?"

"You definitely know what you should know, and you definitely don't know what you shouldn't know."

Xu Damao didn't show much joy. He could install these things into the system space at any time, but it was of no use.

What Lou Zhenhua said was ambiguous. If someone really knew about these assets, they would definitely not be able to give up if they couldn't find them.

Gold and silver can not only be spent as money, they are also very important strategic materials.

The two of them did not stay here any longer and returned to the study all the way.

Father Lou saw that Xu Damao's expression remained unchanged. It seemed that it was not the gold and silver jewelry from two rooms, but the same as two piles of dirt.

I gave it all to him, and I had no intention of taking anything out.

This kind of character is already very rare.

When he gave Xu Damao pocket money, a few stacks of big black tens, Xu Damao didn't refuse at all.

It has only been a short time and there has been such great progress.

Power is an addictive thing.

"When are you going to take those things away?"

Father Lou said and handed a bunch of keys to Xu Damao. These were the keys to the home, from the front door to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

"Don't worry about this, just wait until you have the chance."

Xu Damao was not polite, picked up the keys and put them in his pocket.

There is no need for me to be polite.
