Honglouchun

Seeing that he was so sincere, Qi Taizhong twitched the corners of his mouth, then looked at Qi Yun who was sitting on the other side, and sighed in his heart, children who grew up in Fugui Township lacked the ruthlessness to dare to die.

However, seeing Qi Yun looking at Jia Qiang with a smile all the time, Qi Taizhong was still a little relieved, knowing that his grandson had listened to his teachings and was trying to figure out Jia Qiang's way of life.

So, well.

Thinking of this, Qi Taizhong began to teach with all his heart, and pointed out: "If you want to accept a useful person, it doesn't matter if you are innocent or not. The important thing is that this person must emphasize filial piety. Why does the court praise the Holy Son of Heaven every day for ruling the world with benevolence and filial piety? It was summed up by many outstanding and famous ministers. A person with filial piety may not be a loyal minister, but he may also be a traitor. But a person without filial piety must be a rebellious wolf and ambition, a beast! How dare such a person be used? So If you accept someone, you must first find out whether this person is pure filial piety. If he is not filial, of course there is no need to say more. If he is pure filial piety, then take his high-ranking family members to his side and arrange them properly. Let the elderly in the family have something to support , children and grandchildren have something to teach and books to read. So, how can you worry about using it?"

Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Qi Taizhong and said, "What does your old man mean...take the hostages first?"

"Eh!"

Qi Taizhong shook his head again and again and said: "How can you be so inferior? It is to take care of the family members of the people around you, so that they have no worries. In the previous dynasty, this was called the householder, and even the surname had to be changed accordingly. Let them know, as long as you If you don’t die, as long as you don’t fall, then their whole family can enjoy a peaceful life. They have done a good job, and they don’t even lack wealth. How can they not work hard? Why do they need hostages..."

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard the words, and said: "You are indeed the old man of the Qi family. You are amazing. It is almost the same as what I thought. Maybe this is called a hero who sees alike."

On one side, Qi Yun's handsome face was almost tangled into a rag, but on the opposite side, two foxes, one old and one young, laughed happily.

I didn't want Jia Qiang's voice to change, and continued to warn: "Old man, who I took away and where they were used, you'd better not find out, and don't mix sand in them. If you are discovered, you really want to Hurt the deep feelings between you and my family."

Qi Taizhong: "..."

Qi Yun smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Liangchen, I haven't seen you like this. Who doesn't have many people who are safe to use. We don't know this rule yet. You need to emphasize it several times? But stop quickly, no It makes people laugh. I haven’t talked about serious things yet. Yesterday you asked Wanxianglou to organize a hot pot banquet, and there were ice bowls. It really became popular. I haven’t seen those people in the past like to eat such spicy food. The food that was so hot was almost turned into mud legs yesterday. It was a pleasure to eat, and it was so refreshing. When it was too spicy, I would serve it in an ice bowl. Good guy, let alone others, Lian Zian, Wen Lie, Yuan Zong and the others shouted and cheered up. Everyone was stunned, but they all ordered on the spot. Some wanted to buy pots and base materials, some wanted to book the venue and invite hosts, and the most requested ones were ice cream. Bowls, I know I can give them away, one by one, 35, [-], let them be sent to each house. Liangchen, Wanxiang Tower is on fire!"

Jia Qiang was naturally happy when she heard the good news, and said with a smile: "Although I own half of the shares in Wanxianglou, I don't care about the rest except for a few storytellers to practice. It's all thanks to Brother De'ang who can make this happen." The means are clever."

Qi Yun is not easy to provoke, and said with an angry smile: "You still have the face to say it! You also own half of the shares, and you are the big owner of Wanxianglou! The hot pot bottom material is so expensive for you to sell. Apart from these capitals, you still have a lot of money. Sharing half of the profits in the Wanxiang Building, the income is much more than that of the Qi family, how can you say that I am clever?"

Qi Yun was not fighting for profit, and with the Qi family's wealth, it would not be a big deal if all the profits of Wanxianglou were distributed to Jia Qiang.

It's just that business belongs to business, and the rules cannot be broken.

So he wanted Jia Qiang to know that he knew what Jia Qiang did.

However, Jia Qiang didn't pay attention to this at all. Is it worth spending more time on this small Wanxianglou?

Jia Qiang looked at Qi Taizhong and said, "Brother De'ang persuaded me last time to cooperate more with the Qi family. Not only will the Qi family not hold back, but the Qi family's contacts in the officialdom can also help me a lot. I feel deeply Brother De Ang, Gao Yi, now, your two families are in-depth cooperation, and I will return to Beijing with Lin Yanyuan soon after the year, so today I am here to ask, if the boy encounters difficulties in Beijing, what is the connection of the Qi family in Beijing? , can you lend me a use? With Brother De'ang's character, he will definitely not deceive me."

Qi Yun: "..."

Qi Taizhong also looked at Jia Qiang with admiration, but he didn't answer, but asked: "It seems that the chess game in the south of the Yangtze River is about to come to an end? If so, the thunder and rain will be quieter, right?"

Jia Qiang chuckled, shook her head and said, "Being able to cooperate with Mrs. Qi is already the biggest raindrop. Your old man has made friends with so many officials and gentry in his life, and his acquaintances are all over the world. If you can make friends with your old man, it will be called thunder and rain." ?Old man, forgive me for being disrespectful. The contacts you have made all your life, and the incense you have left behind, are the best time and the most valuable time when you are always around. Officials say that people Tea gets cold as soon as you leave. Why is this not the case in this field of human relationships? Instead of letting these connections go in vain, especially when... the big government is about to be reformed! If you don't try to cash in on these connections as soon as possible, in the end, most of them will be Nothing.

Why don't you borrow it from me! "

2 Chapter [-]

What is the most valuable thing in the Qi family?

Some people think it's Yantian, some people think it's Yanyin, some people think it's the Qi family who has saved more than one year's worth of wealth that rivals a country's wealth...

The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou prefecture took turns to change, but only one, the Qi family, remained unchanged for more than [-] years.

With the Qi family’s camp, it’s not too much to save a million dollars a year. After 60 years, how much money will they have?

What is a rich country?

Nothing more than that!

Not to mention, there is absolutely not so much treasury in the treasury of the Ministry of Households in the Forbidden City!

If it weren't for the fact that the involvement behind it was too extensive, Han Banshan would have chewed and swallowed the Qi family with all his front teeth.

It's a pity that even Han Bin didn't dare to kill this golden pig to celebrate the New Year without any reason.

This is what Jia Qiang sees as the most valuable part of the Qi family:

Qi Taizhong, an old fox, has made friends in the officialdom for more than sixty years.

With this kind of favor, neither Han Bin nor Lin Ruhai dare to treat a merchant as trivial, this is the biggest foundation of the Qi family!

The incense and favor that Qi Taizhong makes friends with is by no means a simple transfer of benefits. Giving gold and silver to people every year to maintain relationships is an inferior means.

Qi Taizhong's kindness is that when people are in trouble, when people are at a low point, when people are in a desperate situation, they do their best to solve people's difficulties, save people's future and even their lives, without asking for anything in return.

For example, the Supreme Emperor made six tours to the south, each of which did not use the treasury.

And where does the required spending come from?

The Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has been in charge of the salt tax for 20 years, and the sum of all the money is not enough for the emperor to chew.

For the rest, the Qi family led the salt merchants and pledged to donate.

After six tours to the south, the Qi family donated more than 1000 million taels!

Spending so much money to honor your father, relieve your father's worries, and not ask for an official or a title, can the emperor not recognize this kind of favor?

The more kind you are, the more you don't ask for anything. This kind of favor will, on the contrary, continue to appreciate in value as time goes by.

It is this kind of favor, coupled with the reciprocity of courtesy during the annual festivals, that Qi Taizhong created a big net that even Han Banshan dared not tear it apart easily!

But just as Jia Qiang said, this incense and favor are most valuable only when Qi Taizhong is around.

When Qi Taizhong was around, the Supreme Emperor would not let people move him easily, as long as he did not commit the serious crime of treason.

But after Qi Taizhong's death, this love for the Supreme Emperor ended here.

The imperial court is short of money, and the Qi family has saved such a large sum, if it is not used to fill the treasury, then the Qi family is ignorant.

The more high-level favors, the more attention to this timeliness.

These are the many wealthy families whose core figures were as powerful as the sky when they were alive.

Once the core character passed away, he was instantly knocked out of the dust, sinking into the bottom line.

but……

The truth is this, but it's a bit cruel to say this in front of an old man who is nearly eighty years old.

Qi Yun frowned, looking at Jia Qiang with an ugly expression.

Jia Qiang herself didn't seem to have done anything wrong, she looked at Qi Taizhong with a thin smile on her face.

Qi Taizhong smiled and raised his white eyebrows and said: "You hozen, you think beautifully, and you also have a sharp mouth, but unfortunately, I am not old enough to be confused. It is good to keep these favors. Use them, and others will not be afraid Keeping it is a deterrent! If I die, I won’t care about other things. I have been protecting them all my life, so I can’t even worry about them after I die, can I?”
