[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

The Xue family's business is very large, and there are shops scattered in various states and provinces. There are not eight hundred, but there are one thousand.There are several shops in the capital alone.Such as spice shop, medicine shop, paper shop, longevity shop, fresh groceries, pawn shop, silk and satin shop...

That sentence' good year is full of snow, pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. 'It's definitely not in vain.

So Zuo Xi was particularly worried that Xue's family would become pork belly on the chopping board when someone from He in Baye's Mansion posted a post last year.

It's not that Zuo Xi underestimates himself and suffers from persecution paranoia, but that Wang Ziteng is not in the capital, Jia's family is strong outside, and the situation of Xue's family is really no different from that of a three-year-old child who is often said to live in a busy city.Putting up a wonton stand on the street can meet local hooligans who collect security fees. People like the Xue family are stupid and rich, aren't they the favorite of ghosts and snakes?

After discussing with the housekeeper about the coping strategies of pretending to be stupid and cutting off the tail to survive, the things Zuo Xi was worried about didn't happen.

The princes and elder brothers didn't seem to pay much attention to the Xue family, and the honorable officials all looked noble and cold and didn't want to talk to the Xue family.Except for the acquaintances who are close to the Jia family, neither Xue Pan nor Aunt Xue received any additional posts.

Zuo Xi didn't know why, and worried that this was the calm before the storm.Let the big housekeeper inquire about news from various places in Beijing.It may not be on the same level, and I didn't find the right way, or there may be some things that can only be understood but not explained in words, and I didn't find out any useful news in the end.

What made Zuo Xi panic even more was that the Xue family's business had been going downhill since Mr. Xue was seriously ill and unable to get up, and losses had become the norm.But starting this year, the Xue family's business is not losing money.

Not only is there no loss, but there is still a balance at the end of the month.

Even if the balance is not much, it is an indisputable fact that turning losses into wins is an indisputable fact.

If something goes wrong, it becomes a monster. Facing this kind of change, who can not panic.

Among them, the most incomprehensible thing for Zuo Xi is that He, who was born in Baye's Mansion, was hugged and kissed by the innocence of Xue's family a few years ago. The life of the Xue family disappeared.During the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, people were sent to give gifts that were neither light nor heavy.

It seems that they really have a relationship with the Xue family.

Aunt Xue didn't think as much as Zuo Xi, when she saw someone giving a boxing gift, she just asked someone to prepare a similar return gift and send it over.Xue Pan didn't care about these "trifles" at all, and went to the horse market with the appointed person after hearing it.

When the matter developed to this point, Zuo Xi began to wonder if she had watched too many novels, movies, TV dramas before, which made people think too darkly and complicated simple things.

In fact, things here are really not simple.

On the other hand, Ba Ye is afraid of the words of the Kengge series written and directed by himself on the eleventh day, and it is not good to start with the money bag immediately, for fear that it will become a reason to criticize him and ruin his good image that he is used to.But Yinzi just winked and smiled at him, who can't be moved?

Facing the fat sheep of the Xue family, he would lose the dignity and dignity of the prince's elder brother in the near future, and he would be afraid of being picked peaches by others in the far.The methods are more ruthless, and I am worried that someone will catch me.So the eighth master, who was in a dilemma, had to order He Zhuo to brush up his presence first, not far or near.

Ba Ye has developed well in the past few years, and he has already become a thorn in the eyes of the brothers, a thorn in the flesh.Now, while the big guys are waiting to stare at the Eighth Master's Mansion, they also use the Xue family as a piece of bait, wanting to see who can't help but attack the Xue family first.

During this period, the crown prince, elder brother, third master, eighth master, and even fourth master and ninth master all arranged people to enter Xue's shop in various ways and means.As a result, there was a very serious involution in Xue's shop.

In order not to let myself be dismissed by the stupid, foolish and manipulative owner with inexplicable reasons, these excellent eyeliners who are professional scouts are all doing their best for the business of Xue's shop by carefully controlling the increase in revenue.

And this is the real reason why Xue's shop has a surplus this year.

Zuo Xi, who didn't know that Xue's family had become a battlefield for all parties to play, was worried for a while, and then he should do what he should do.

It's not that Zuo Xi has a big heart, but that the Xue family will go bankrupt sooner or later.Now that Xue Pan has a skill, isn't it better than the ending of the original book?

So, why does she want to consume the known ones in advance, or tomorrow's troubles?

I just want to leave, but when Pu sees someone, Zuo Xi still gets nervous involuntarily.

Grab her Leng Xiangwan's bad money!

"Tofu, everything is fine." He bowed to Qin Baliang, Zuo Xi said politely and asked why Qin Baliang appeared here. "Your father-in-law is stepping on the ground, do you have any orders?"

This girl dares to bet 1000 taels of gold, you are not here to reminisce about the old days.

Qin Baliang smiled slightly, and said to Zuo Xi, "The miscellaneous family is negotiating a business with Mr. Xue on behalf of Master Jiu today."

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were eating wine and watching a show in Ningguo Mansion at the moment. Qin Baliang found that Xue's family was not there. The housekeeper welcomed him in with a smiling face, and hurried to the mansion to invite someone.But Xue Pan drank wine and was having fun with five drinks and six drinks.Now even the Heavenly King Laozi is here, and there is no way to get him back from Ningguo Mansion.

Seeing that Xue Pan was so drunk, the servants sent hurriedly trot back to Lixiangyuan, and asked the butler what to do?

The butler hurriedly asked someone to invite Zuo Xi, and then asked Qin Baliang to wait a moment.However, Zuo Xi left the meeting a long time ago, and the Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion is huge, so it is not easy to find someone.

Qin Baliang was impatient and had other errands, so he planned to come back later.I don't want to run into Zuo Xi as soon as I go out.

With a 'swipe', Zuo Xi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Qin Baliang in disbelief, "Hey! Master Jiu wants to discuss business with my brother? The kind that loses money?"

"Since Mr. Xue is not here, it's the same to listen to the girl." Qin Baliang was amused by the shock in Zuo Xi's words.After laughing for a while, he nodded to Zuo Xi, glanced at the pretty girl standing beside Zuo Xi, and asked casually, "Who is this?"

"This is a cousin from a relative's family." Zuo Xi followed Qin Baliang's gaze and looked at Daiyu, and after introducing Qin Baliang, he said to Daiyu, "Sister, this is Eunuch Qin from Jiuye's residence. "

Seeing that Qin Baliang noticed Daiyu, Zuo Xi instinctively blurred Daiyu's identity and introduced Daiyu with specious words.

I don't know if Daiyu found out, but she bowed to Qin Baliang the moment Zuo Xi finished speaking, and said hello softly, "Grandpa Qin."

Qin Baliang raised his eyebrows, thought about his good looks, then raised the whisk in his hand, signaling Daiyu to get up.

No matter what Qin Baliang, or that Jiuye wants to do, since he has already bumped into him at this time, he can only continue.So Zuo Xi asked Qin Baliang to go back to the room and take a seat, and at the same time sent Daiyu back to Rongqing hall from the corner gate from Lixiangyuan to Rongguo Mansion.

After the girl served tea, Zuo Xi asked the big housekeeper to send someone to find Xue Pan, but the big housekeeper had to tell about Xue Pan's drunkenness with a face full of embarrassment.Zuo Xi twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, and while offering tea, he waited for Qin Baliang to say what he wanted.

"After the Xue family became Ziwei's family, the signboard of the Imperial Merchant alone is worth thousands of dollars. It just so happens that Master Jiu has some business..."

Master Jiu is not so attached to the throne, if it is given to him for nothing, he wants it.If it takes effort to fight and grab, then he will definitely not waste that effort.Master Jiu saw the situation of the Xue family. Out of his love for Yinzi and some kind of purpose of venting his anger, Master Jiu was the first to stand up.

He wants to drag Xue's family into his thief ship.

And the so-called business refers to all the transactions of the Xue family in the Qing Dynasty, and Master Jiu must have a share.

As for business matters, Zuo Xi, like Xue Pan, is a layman with little knowledge.While sitting there now listening to Qin Baliang relay Jiuye's meaning, Zuo Xi's eyes were about to form even if there were no mosquito coils.

After Qin Baliang finished speaking, Zuo Xi reacted for a while before asking Qin Baliang half-understood, "Jiuye wants to buy shares in Xue's family, do you want to pay for the shares?"

In TV dramas, those who invest in shares use a lot of money to buy the company's stocks. After becoming a company shareholder, they can manage the company and do business.Then Master Jiu's shareholding should also be given to Xue's family, right?

right?

Even if Qin Baliang was killed, he would never have thought that Zuo Xi would ask such a question.

Looking carefully at Zuo Xi's expression, Qin Baliang found that Zuo Xi was serious when he asked this question.

I'm dying.

In fact, Jiuye has invested in many businesses, many of which do not require Jiuye's capital.Because Master Jiu's status as a prince and his contacts are his capital.

He can easily deal with official matters, and he can also get through the door of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and some yamen, which can save business people a lot of unnecessary expenses and troubles.

Through this method, Jiu Ye quickly accumulated a considerable amount of original capital, and then he started his own business.It can be said that there are two kinds of businesses under the name of Master Jiu, one is physical investment, and the other is identity investment.

And Master Jiu's treatment of the Xue family was the latter.

……

After Tian was chatted to death, Qin Baliang got up and left after leaving a sentence for Zuo Xi to convey to Xue Pan.After sending the person to the door, Zuo Xi went back to the house with a serious expression on his face.

"Girl?" The housekeeper followed Zuo Xi all the way, until Zuo Xi sat in a chair for a long time in a daze, and then had to wake Zuo Xi up.

"I still have some gold and silver bills in my hand, which are almost enough to buy the mountain we discussed earlier and the [-]-acre medium-sized field below the mountain." After a pause, Zuo Xi's expression was serious. Looking at the big steward, "After you buy it, you must go to the local yamen and the household department to register for the sacrifice land."

Qin Keqing entrusted Sister Feng with dreams, one of which was to ask Sister Feng to buy more sacrificial fields.Earlier, Zuo Xi also read a lot of books on this subject, and knew that even if it was a serious crime such as ransacking the house, the sacrifice land would not be confiscated.

Buy more land and hills in the name of offering sacrifices to the fields, and then build a few houses inside and drill two wells. Even if they lose all their property in the future, the family will not starve to death.

".Yes, the old slave has written it down."

"Our stall is too big, more and more goods are accumulated, and more and more money is being pressed. We must sell all the old goods backlogged in the shop as soon as possible. Especially in the past two years when Dad left, many Everyone has other ideas. It’s okay for a short time, but it’s easy to cause troubles after a long time. Today is Jiuye, and tomorrow there may not be others. Instead of piling up those goods in the warehouse, or they are moldy, or If you can’t find it, why don’t you just sell it and stop the loss in time.”

Just as the girl said, if those old goods don't have a way to sell now, who will be cheaper in the future.The butler nodded while listening, and felt that Zuo Xi's move was right. "Do you want to tell the uncle about Master Jiu's shareholding?"

"Naturally, but let me think about how to say this." Zuo Xi nodded and complained to the housekeeper with a headache: "The whole family is not suitable for business, what kind of business is it? Don’t do it. Anyway, the house deed and the land deed of the shop are our own, we only guard the shop to collect the rent, and then use the Xue family’s imperial business signboard to become a shareholder of Jiuye’s business.” If there are any descendants of the Xue family in the future For the children and grandchildren who do business, these shops can also make a comeback for them.

With a long sigh, Zuo Xi spread his hands helplessly at the housekeeper: "Our family is too short of smart people."

The butler: "..." I can't answer this question.

Before dinner, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan came back one after another.Xue Pan was carried back by the servant, and he was lying on the servant's back, screaming and laughing non-stop. Seeing him like this, Zuo Xi couldn't help but sighed again.

How envious of your ignorant joy!
