Number of romantic figures

Chapter 69
"Ziying, I think it is possible to subsidize a private school for family studies, but it needs to be done according to one's ability." Feng Tang couldn't bear to dampen his son's enthusiasm, and Feng Tang was very relieved to be able to think so far.

"You may not be clear about our family's situation. Whether you can support such a large expenditure has to be carefully considered. In addition, you said that it is no problem to support poor students to study, but our family makes a living and supports them to work as officials. Is this appropriate?"

Feng Ziying's last proposal is somewhat rare, and Feng Tang also feels that it does not conform to the current popular practice.

Nowadays, if the gentry and noble families want to expand their influence and improve their reputation, they all support scholars. How can they support scholars to engage in other livelihoods?

Well, recruiting people to make a living for one's own family is barely plausible, and it must be limited to the Feng family, but I have never heard of those who work as officials and doctors.

Although practicing medicine as an official cannot be said to be a cheap profession, it is definitely not something worth boasting about. Compared with scholars, it is far behind, and it is difficult to get praise from outsiders.

"Father, that's not the case. You have also noticed that the situation is a little different from before. Many places, especially the prefecture and county levels, are actually controlled by officials. The imperial court originally had a system of observing political events, but due to various The disadvantages stopped and started from time to time, which caused the later Jinshi recruiters and supervisors to be ignorant of government affairs after they were appointed officials. They either relied on the staff or were controlled by officials. Entrust it to others, and the result will never be known."

Feng Ziying paused, "Officials are familiar with the local situation, and if they are familiar with government affairs, then if they are loyal to the country, they can help the superiors; But in any case, the role of official officials is becoming more and more important. If it is difficult to achieve success in reading, it is a great merit to cultivate them well, and medical practitioners also fall into this category, so the son thinks that they can be classified according to the situation. "

Feng Ziying's words are well-founded, and Feng Tang can't find anything to refute. This is indeed a good way to increase the influence and voice of the Feng family in Linqing and even Dongchang Mansion, but...

After a while, Feng Tang sighed with satisfaction and a little annoyance: "Brother Keng, but have you calculated how much our Feng family will spend every year?"

"Father, the son knows, that's why the son told his mother that we need open source. This time when the son returned to Linqing, he realized that Linqing's business was flourishing. I am afraid that we should be more cautious. Apart from Linqing, the nearby Dongchangfu, Dezhou and Jining are all prosperous commercial places along the canal, and the urban population is increasing, which also brings various needs, so my son thinks that we can Use the Feng family's influence to make a living in Linqing, Liaocheng, Jining, and Dezhou,..."

Feng Ziying introduced some of her ideas and the situation of Xue Jun from the Xue family in Jinling, and Feng Tang was also a little moved.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant, but Xue Jun is the second wife of the Xue family.

Although it is not a side branch, Xue Jun's second room is not so special when his elder brother has a son and his sister-in-law is Wang's daughter-in-law. This can be seen from the separation of the two rooms of Xue Jun After coming out, maybe the head of the house is worried about being swallowed up by the second house without a pillar, so they split up.

Under such circumstances, the cooperation between the Feng family and Xue Jun is a very feasible idea.

The Xue family has funds, technicians, and brand reputation. The Feng family has a reputation, influence, and connections in Shandong. In addition, the gold and silver jewelry business in the Northland itself follows the trend of Jiangnan, so this cooperation is a match made in heaven. .

"The specific strategy needs to be discussed after the Xue family agrees." Feng Ziying made a conclusion, "But I think this is very suitable. If it is managed properly, Fengrunxiang can develop along the canal in the future. In the future, it is not impossible to come to the capital to settle down and take root."

I have to say that this last sentence is the most touching. If the cooperation between Xue Jiafeng and the Feng family can finally go deep into the capital to prove it, it will undoubtedly boost the influence of the Feng family. There are many things to do in the future It will be much more convenient.

"If the Xue family agrees to cooperate, Brother Keng, how much money do you think we need to spend to start the business?" This is the key.

"In the initial stage, I'm afraid it will cost [-] to [-] silver to open it. It's easy for Linqing alone, but if you want to gradually open it in Jinan, Dezhou, Jinan, Jining, and even Dongchang Prefecture, it will not be easy." Feng Ziying said while observing the expressions of her parents.

It can be seen that the parents frowned slightly, but they did not categorically deny it. This shows that the family may be able to get the money, but it must be more difficult.

"Father, this matter is still in the stage of planning and discussion. Even if our family is interested, we have to wait for the Xue family to take action." Feng Ziying further said.

"Well, let's stop here for the time being, and we'll talk about it when Xue's family visits the door." Feng Tang made a final decision, "But the things in Linqing can indeed be done first. Ziying is right about this matter. I used to be a little I have not thought about it, how to do it, we will discuss it later.”

"By the way, Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion personally sent the post in person, maybe to express his gratitude to you on behalf of his father. You can take the time to pay your respects. Don't make it feel like our Feng family is a lack of etiquette." Feng Tang As if remembering something.

"Oh? Brother Lian left?" Feng Ziying was slightly taken aback.

"Well, let's go. When I came here, I met Feng Qianlai to report. I went to see you. I thought you hadn't woken up yet. I talked to him for a while, saying that his father and uncle are very grateful for your work in Linqing. Shi The old matriarch also sent a special message, thanking you for your praise, saying that I would like to thank you very much, I said that we are all good family members, and in such a situation, we must do our best to help, don't worry about it." Feng Tang He wiped his chin, looking very happy.

The relationship between the Jia family and the Feng family is fairly close, but I was in Datong a few years ago, and I was busy planning to revive after I came back these two years, so I moved a little less, and my status was not good enough to go to Jia's house too much.

On the contrary, his son's identity and age are just right for him to move around more, especially now that the Jia family's in-law Prince Teng is in full swing, sometimes this relationship can really play a role.

"Then my son will take the time to go there." Feng Ziying is also slowly adapting to the circle of the capital.

I didn't care about being too young at the same time, but after returning to the capital, I will be [-] years old, and basically I should walk around.

Nobility is the basic background of the Feng family, and it is impossible to break out of this circle. For now, unless you can pass the Jinshi exam, and you can quickly make something famous, go to Datianting, or have Other special opportunities, otherwise they will only be regarded as honorable and noble, and it is difficult for the civil servants to accept them.

　Brothers, give some encouragement!
