Lian Er's time in the Ministry of Household Affairs has not been in vain these years.
Even though he was still submissive when facing the old lady in the house, it didn't mean that he didn't have his own ideas and decisions.
There are a lot of pitfalls in the Hubu Yamen. If you can't stand up on your own, you will be the perfect target to take the blame. There must be a long-term suite reserved in the Xingbu Prison.
After the initial depression about this incident, he quickly adjusted his mentality and came up with a solution.
In fact, the answer has already been given in the novel "Cornucano" written by Jia Rong's "Surprise": Just get white gloves!
In addition, don't be too ambitious and focus on large coal mines. As long as you can start with a small coal mine, it is best to be familiar with the operation mode and profit method.
If you can buy a medium-sized coal mine, you will make a lot of money!
Also, coal mines are not only found in Shanxi Province, but also in the Zhili area, there are many places with coal mines.
It's just that there are so many large-scale coal mines in Jin Province, and they are of good quality and easy to mine, which makes them particularly attractive.
He realized that he could not communicate with the old lady or even his own wife, so he could only settle some matters first and let them know after he earned money.
I have been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years. Although I have always been doing paperwork, my horizons have broadened a lot and I know that some things cannot be rushed.
Do you really think he doesn't know that his wife uses his name card to secretly help others?
He just didn't say it, and privately limited the types of things Wang Xifeng could participate in.
Don't say that this kind of thing is not good, there are quite a few rich and powerful wives who do this kind of work in private.
Just like lending money, it's basically an open secret.
The key is to know in your mind that some things can be involved, but some things must not be involved.
Obviously, Wang Xifeng didn't know what was going on inside.
Based on her arrogant temperament, she probably wouldn't listen to advice, so Lian Er could only use some means outside the mansion to try to block the gap.
In this coal mine incident, it is obvious that Wang Xifeng also wants to get involved.
I just don’t know, where does she get the confidence?
Even in order to make money, don't you want him to resign from the Ministry of Household Affairs and go home?
I don’t know if he is stupid. If he were not an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, even if Wang Xifeng got the coal mine, he would not be able to operate it normally.
Do you really think that with the reputation of Rongfu, you can run rampant outside?
I haven't seen the old lady, but if I want to get involved, do I want to go through Uncle Lin's door?
Otherwise, would it be necessary to be so affectionate and polite to invite the Lin family's cousin to have a meal at Rongqing Hall?
Although Lian Er was not present, he had heard the rumors. How could he not understand what the old lady was thinking?
The key is that Uncle Lin may not be willing to help.
Even if they are willing to help, who can the government send to take charge of the coal mine and make it run normally?
Lian Er himself will never go, and there is no need to count on Mr. Pardon either.
As for Mr. Zheng, he is old-fashioned and pedantic and does not know how to adapt. The old lady is even more worried.
It's really sad to say that when it comes time to hire people, I find to my dismay that there is no reliable and capable person in the house.
As for the housekeepers in the mansion, there are only five or six of them in the mansion, but if they are really asked to take charge of their own affairs, they will probably collapse.
When a serious conflict of interest arises, who cares which housekeeper Ni is?
A few housekeepers are able to run rampant outside, don't they rely on their reputation in the house?
Lian Er works as an errand in the household department and has very good information channels. He also knows a lot about the housekeepers in the house, not to mention the affairs outside the house.
They can only scare ordinary people and petty officials from poor families.
As long as the official position reaches the fifth rank, or there are common people who have strong support behind them, they will not care much about these people, and they have nothing to do.
Not to mention, when you go to Shanxi Province, you may have to go under the knife frequently for profit.
It's not that Lian Er looks down on the officials in the government, they really don't have the courage and guts to face an armed conflict.
Anyway, all things considered, he couldn't hope for success in the mansion.
Baoyu is still young and his temperament makes Lian Er not optimistic about his future prospects.
As for Jia Huan and Jia Cong, they can be nurtured and trained, but they can't be counted on at the moment.
Unlike the Ning Mansion, although the population is even thinner than the Rong Mansion, there may be much more reliable manpower that can be used.
This has to be said about the role that ethnology can play.
Since Jia Rong took over Ethnology, Ethnology has trained many talents.
Among them, those who have achieved fame have either gone to practice with Lin Ruhai, or have entered the officialdom and worked hard.
There are also some people who are not good at literature and martial arts, but they have shown certain talents in other aspects. At this time, they have basically entered the clan industry.
It can be said that as long as Jia Rong is willing to say hello to the students in clan studies, any one of them from the Jia clan will be happy to work for him.
Rongfu is far behind in this regard.
If Master Zheng and Lian hadn't held official positions and had high prestige in the clan, there would probably be very few clan members willing to rely on them.
Such a situation makes Lian Er somewhat depressed, even worried.
It's a pity that the old lady is in charge of the Rong Mansion, so Lian Er's words have no weight at all, and he is too lazy to ask for trouble.
At this time, Lian Er’s idea was very simple: first, run his small family well, and then gradually build up the momentum of his big family.
If the old lady goes too far with her balance game, she might as well hide somewhere for a few years.
The current Rong Mansion is indeed declining quite quickly.
Regardless of gossip, Lian Er feels that he is very lucky.
I just wanted to find a reliable white glove in the tribe to help deal with the specific matters of the coal mine, and then a suitable tribesman came to my door.
Jia Yun is a member of the grass-roots generation who has the reputation of being a child.
At this time, this guy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was well-known in the clan and his ability to do things was very good.
This guy came to the house on his own initiative mainly to help his neighbor Ni Er find a supporter.
After contact and understanding, Lian Er was overjoyed. If his rationality hadn't told him to investigate the situation clearly before making a decision, he would have made a decision on the spot.
When I was really dozing off, someone handed me a pillow. I didn't expect that I was so lucky. Just when I was looking for white gloves, the reliable white gloves came to my door.
That's right, Lian Er already has the idea of training Jia Yun into his own white glove.
And after investigation, he found that Jia Yun is indeed a very good candidate. If he is trained properly, he can help share all the external affairs in the future.
Lian Er was very excited. He was quite ambitious at this time, but he didn't want to be left too far behind by Brother Rong from the Ning Mansion...
