As the New Year is approaching, the residence of Youxiang is actually quite lively. Not only are juniors like Wang Shanyue who have a certain master-disciple relationship with Qin Siyuan coming to visit, Qin Shaohe, the eldest son of Qin Siyuan, has also arrived in Beijing a few days ago, and Qin Shaoqian is probably going to
It would take a few days to arrive. In addition, there were many relatives, nephews, and female relatives of the Qin family, which made the atmosphere in the prime minister's mansion return to the one when Qin Siyuan was still the minister.
The juniors gather here, and many guests and friends from the Prime Minister's Mansion are often invited over. In fact, it is Qin Siyuan's deliberate invitation. A group of people either sit and discuss matters, or talk about some political affairs. For the juniors in the family who are interested in politics,
, whatever I heard, it was a good education. It can also be regarded as some support for the family from this old man who is the Prime Minister.
Due to the large number of people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Yi's visits have been relatively reduced, but occasionally he is still invited by the other party, which is generally impossible to refuse. And often among a group of senior people, he is known as "
He has the status of "Master Commander" in the past. As the youngest guest minister in the Right Prime Minister's Palace, he has equal friendships with Qin Siyuan, Yao Zunian, Jueming and others. This is the strength accumulated after the victory at Pingliang Mountain in March. With Ning
In terms of Yi's background, there is no need to overestimate his knowledge of Confucian theory. But for him, there is always another set of theories that can make up for it. His explanations are self-explanatory and often thought-provoking. That belongs to the modern philosophical system.
The results are above.
Of course, Qin Siyuan has a wide circle of friends, and occasionally he will encounter some doubters. At a party a few days ago, a Zhizhou man in his forties who had studied under Qin Siyuan happened to see that Ning Yi was just a merchant and young.
In his words, he talked about the lowliness and harm of businessmen, and gave examples from his own state. Ning Yi didn't pay attention to it at first. After all, he was young. It happened to be such a gathering, and it was not easy to stand out when attending it. But later
The other party's words became fierce, and when it came to him, he began to analyze the entire system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
From how the entire system is composed, to how it operates, from how businessmen developed, to the current situation and demands, what it is specifically, why it is like this, etc., etc., and then analyze the thoughts of the businessman at the bottom of Zhizhou, what
What is good, what is bad. After refuting all of Zhizhou's objections one by one, everyone in the room was basically confused. That night, Zhizhou, who had been criticized by Qin Siyuan, came to find Ning Yi.
, and after apologizing, seek strategies and solutions on how to manage the businessmen under his command...
For Ning Yi, it was actually just a simple sales pitch.
Since he is going out to do things, there will definitely be doubts of one kind or another. Even if they are in the same camp, they may not be able to be in harmony. Ning Yi has long been mentally prepared for these things, and Qin Siyuan also understands that he will not let his subordinates show up too much.
Big conflict.
Since Ning Yi is young, he consciously avoids him most of the time, which is of course the right path. Among the relatives of the Qin family, some people are jealous of him, while others inquire about his situation and consider whether they can marry a daughter to him.
He has various similar situations. Ning Yi sometimes finds it quite troublesome.
After this time, there were still some acquaintances gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yaozu Nian, Jueming, Ji Kun and others were all considered to be Wang Shanyue's elders. Qin Siyuan had not come back yet, but there were also Qin Shaohe and Wenren.
Fuji and others were nearby, and when Ning Yi arrived, everyone was asking Wang Shanyue about various details in Shandong. When they saw Ning Yi arriving, they smiled and said that the protagonist was here. Ning Yi also said hello to Wang Shanyue.
, after asking, I found out that he arrived home last night and went into the city to pay a visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning. Su Wenyu couldn't follow him to You Prime Minister's Mansion, he should have gone home.
It was almost noon, and not long after, Qin Siyuan came back from outside, accompanied by Tang Ke, Tang Qinsou, the current Minister of Household Affairs. He and Wang Qisong were old acquaintances. Hearing that Wang Shanyue had returned to the capital, he came over to take a look.
In fact, Ning Yi had a relationship with Tang Ke at this time. After the Dragon Boat Festival poems came out, this talented and famous official asked Qin Siyuan why he did not recommend such talents to the
Imperial College. Although his official position is now inferior to that of Qin Siyuan, the two have quite a personal relationship. I came here twice recently and saw Ning Yi, and I was also concerned about this matter.
On the other hand, Tang Ke was originally from Hangzhou and had a friendship with Qian Xiwen. Fang La's troubles destroyed Hangzhou into a mess. After hearing Qin Siyuan talk about Ning Yi rescuing Hangzhou and visiting Qian Xiwen before his death,
I originally had a good impression of Ning Yi. After only two contacts, I was quite unhappy with Ning Yi's determination not to enter the officialdom. I tried to persuade him a few words, but now my impression of Ning Yi is even worse.
Not too good.
The greetings and small talk when meeting were actually similar scenes. Ning Yi was already familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he didn't seem unfamiliar. At noon, a banquet was held in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ning Yi sat at a table with Wang Shanyue and other juniors, and said
While joking, Qin Shaohe, the eldest of the group, came over to talk to Ning Yi about something.
"... In the past two days, I have been discussing some things with my father and mother. When I talk about Brother Ning, I always feel that it is a pity that Brother Ning does not come out to become an official. Therefore, Brother Yu also wants to come and chat about it. I just don't know what Brother Ning is thinking.
what idea……"
Regarding this matter, Qin Shaohe was not the first person from the Right Chancellor's side to chat with Ning Yi. Only after he was sure that Ning Yi really planned to run a business and would not consider his official career for the time being, he said with a smile
Start other.
"...Brother Ning, please consider this matter again. In fact, my father really hopes that Brother Ning will come to the table. Because of the things behind the scenes, the future may not be guaranteed... But since Brother Ning is not interested for the time being, Brother Yu, after discussing with my father and mother,
I think I can ask Brother Ning for some other things..."
"Um?"
"You also know that the Prime Minister's Mansion is so big that all kinds of expenses are expensive. After my father became an official, some of the businesses that were originally in the Mansion have been put down. If he wants to run some businesses again this time, it is actually in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Exchange money. In terms of business, Uncle Kun mostly handles it, but Uncle Kun is actually not good at business. After discussing with my mother, I thought it might as well let Li Heng take over and take care of it..."
Listening to Qin Shaohe talking about this, Ning Yi laughed: "Brother Qin, do you know that since I returned to Beijing in the past three months, my staff have been spending money like water? Not only have I not earned a penny, but I have spent nearly half of it."
It’s one hundred thousand taels, and I got it all from my wife.”
Qin Shaohe patted Ning Yi on the shoulder, shook his head and laughed: "Hey, brother Ning, don't be humble. Just based on brother Ning's performance in Liangshan, I can do it all when it comes to doing business. In fact, I told my father
At that time, my father didn’t think that Brother Ning could make money, but that he shouldn’t let Brother Ning do such small things to distract you. Although you refused to serve as an official, there are still some government affairs that need to be promoted in the Prime Minister’s Office.
Whatever comes to your head, whether you accept business or not, is a trivial matter. You cannot push aside political matters."
Qin Siyuan, the right-hand prime minister, is currently equivalent to the position of prime minister. In recent times, he has been known as the guest minister of the prime minister's office, and he often pushes over some government affairs that need to be handled. Most of them are related to official circles and shopping malls. Some
Some Ning Yi can handle it casually, and some still have to ask Yao Zunian and others about the details of the officialdom before making suggestions. This small job is not considered busy, and they say they want him to give suggestions, but most of them
I probably just followed his advice.
Speaking of this, Ning Yi nodded, and then his face turned serious: "Actually, business depends on background. If you give me the affairs of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and I treat it as a shareholding, it will be much more convenient than doing it alone. It's just a matter of business.
Once the money is received, it is usually managed by internal people. There are so many people in the prime minister's office and they are involved in all aspects. If you leave it to me, aren't you afraid of causing problems and making a bunch of relatives unhappy?"
"Those are all trivial matters." Qin Shaohe is now also a high-ranking official in any place. If Ning Yi had not been close to his family, he would not have talked to him like this. At this time, he waved his hand and knew that Ning Yi actually agreed.
Smiling and toasting, "I'll leave it to Brother Ning. As for the rules at home, my mother will make it clear to everyone after the New Year. I believe these things will not be a problem for Brother Ning..."
After saying this, he chuckled and said, "Actually, Brother Ning has a pretty good reputation among my cousins..."
Ning Yi waved his hand: "Stop it, my brother is a wife." The person on the other side couldn't help laughing.
The people at the table chatted for a while. When the meal was about to end, Ning Yi came to Wang Shanyue and asked him about the festival with Zhujiazhuang. Wang Shanyue had some hesitation on his beautiful face.
"Actually... these are all misunderstandings. There is nothing wrong with Miss Hu and me."
"real?"
"I was confused at first." Wang Shanyue frowned and was confused, "You also know that after the Liangshan incident, the Secret Investigation Department did not have much to do there. Since we are familiar with everyone in Dulonggang,
I hung around there when I had free time. Sanniang...Sanniang Hu and Brother Zhu both said they were going to get married, but it was delayed for a while because Grand Duke Hu and her brother were injured. Not long before we arrived, one day Brother Zhu came to look for her.
I was chatting and mentioned that he and Miss Hu were getting married, so I sincerely congratulated him, but there was something wrong with the way he looked at me..."
Ning Yi looked at him with a weird look in his eyes. Wang Shanyue was stunned for a moment, and then gave him a middle finger gesture. This was a gesture that Ning Yi taught him in Shandong, but it was only made by the beautiful Wang Shanyue, who always looked like
Somewhat "cool".
Wang Shanyue curled her lips: "I found out later that he might be testing me. After telling me, the next day, I heard that he went to discuss marriage with Miss Hu. When he came back, he said he wanted to let me go.
Yes, I am no match for him, and I don’t know what the matter is, so of course I refused righteously, but while I was still arguing with him, Miss Hu ran over with a knife..."
When Wang Shanyue talked about this, she was filled with bitter tears of grievance. At that time, he didn't understand anything at all, but Hu Sanniang ran over and said to Zhu Biao: "It's none of his business. If Zhu Biao wants to be beaten, just come to me!"
Coupled with a few more ambiguous words, he was really a mute eating Coptis chinensis and could not tell the story of his sufferings. Hu Sanniang fought with Zhu Biao for a while with two knives. Since the two were not much different in skill and they could not fight to the death, in the end
It was Zhu Biao who ran away in despair, saying that good men will not fight with women.
As a result, in the afternoon, after Hu Sanniang left, Zhu Biao came over to find Wang Shanyue to accuse him. In fact, we had a very good relationship in the past. There was jealousy between men and women, and it was difficult for the Wolf Bandit's subordinates to participate. Wang Shanyue
After resisting several attacks and being beaten into panda eyes by the opponent, Zhu Biao left with satisfaction.
Ning Yi was filled with laughter, and then asked: "Then what happened between you and Miss Hu? It seems that she likes you, but you don't like her?"
