Two hundred invitations were written by Sun Chengyun, Liu Kan and Zhao Donghe respectively, and sent to the homes of various merchants.
Each person was assigned invitations to about 70 households and had to be responsible for delivering them. Time was indeed a bit tight.
So, the three committee members all went down to get busy...
Yuzhu drank a few sips of tea, ordered to go down, and called the stewards, attendants, guards and servants around him.
"You have all been following me for a long time. Now that the opportunity has come, whether you can seize it or not depends entirely on your own ability." Yuzhu looked at his confidants, smiled slightly, and continued, "
You each bring paper and pen, and go to various markets or merchants in Sijiu City. Be sure to find out the retail prices of each product and write them down in detail on paper."
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Yuzhu smiled and explained: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read. I will give each of you ten taels of funds, and you can use it to hire someone to write for you."
"It's a ten-day period. If you submit it after the deadline, it won't count. When the time comes, don't talk nonsense about me, the master, not giving you a chance to promote you." Yuzhu had spoken clearly, and they couldn't understand it anymore.
, then you can only continue to be a servant.
In this society where one person attains enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, it is a generally accepted rule that after Yuzhu has made great achievements, he takes the opportunity to recommend people around him to become officials or officials.
In fact, all the princes and nobles do this.
In fact, there are fixed routines for domestic slaves to become officials.
Yuzhu found connections and helped them get rid of their slave status first, and then paid for them to donate officials and obtain the qualifications to become officials.
When the emperor was happy when he accomplished great achievements, Yuzhu attached a clip to the memorial to recommend him.
The slaves of Han officials, even if they were freed from slavery, were not allowed to take the imperial examination or enter official positions within three generations. Only their great-grandchildren would be eligible to serve as officials.
Therefore, in Dream of Red Mansions, Lai Shangrong, Grandma Lai's grandson, can donate his official position as soon as he escapes from slavery. This implies that the Cao family is a privilege enjoyed by the Han army.
The Cao family can do it. Yuzhu is a great nobleman under the banner of Xianghuang in Manchuria, so he naturally has the privilege of recommending his own servants to become officials.
There is no way, there are too few bannermen, and the empire is too big. The bannermen's own domestic slaves are much more reliable than the Han people in the south, right?
There are only 300,000 bannermen in the entire inner city at most, but they have to manage a huge empire and hundreds of millions of Han people, so their servants must be superior to others.
It is the basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty to control the Han, the Mongols, and the barbarians with the flag. Banner people do not intermarry.
The slaves of the bannermen are treated very differently from the slaves of the Han people. This is a basic reality.
Yuzhu gives opportunities to those around him. Whether they can seize them or not depends entirely on their own abilities.
For a time, Hu Biao, Wu Jiang and others were all smiling and gearing up to do something big.
How can there be no reason-less loyalty these days?
If a master, without the blessing of money and future, expects the loyalty of his subordinates, then he might just drink too much and talk drunkenly, right?
After the death of Soetu and his son, many of the members who were originally attached to the Hesheli family had long since dispersed and gone their separate ways.
Huo Qubing never shared the hardships with the soldiers. He drank fine wine, ate fine mutton, and slept in a luxurious tent. The soldiers drank muddy water, ate dry food, and crowded into small tents.
However, Huo Qubing's troops dared to penetrate thousands of miles into the enemy's territory and won many battles without betrayal.
To put it bluntly, this is the core point. If you follow Huo Qubing and work hard, everyone has great hope of getting promoted and making a fortune.
Seeing that everyone understood, Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that everyone could go down and prepare.
When everyone else left, Wu Sheng stayed.
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a few sips, and asked him casually: "Why don't you prepare it?"
Wu Sheng bowed and said in a low voice: "Now that everything is gone, who will take care of you, Second Master? I would rather stay by your side than have a future."
Yuzhu smiled dumbly, "Look, look, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared."
Wu Sheng didn't say a single nice word, let alone send money to Yu Zhu, but he was a truly smart man.
To put it bluntly, Wu Sheng would rather give up the immediate future than stay and serve Yu Zhu.
His choice was roughly the same as Yuzhu's sincere plans for Kangxi.
When you see the benefits, you run away, but you don't consider the boss's feelings, and you complain that the boss is short-sighted and the promotion is too slow.
Hey, is the boss stupid, or are you stupid?
"Go ahead. There are many people around me to take care of you. Come back to me in ten days." Yuzhu persuaded him again and again, and Wu Sheng reluctantly left.
Looking at Wu Sheng's retreating back, Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh, this man chose his own path, no one can blame him.
Wu Jiang appears to be very smart and good at getting things done. However, when it comes to critical moments, he is not as kind and loyal as Wu Sheng!
At this time, Yuzhu suddenly realized something and understood Kangxi's feelings.
Prince Yinreng is planning every day to take over the throne in advance. Lao Ba is thinking about seizing the crown prince's position every day.
Who has considered Kangxi’s feelings?
As for Kangxi, just because of the bleak precedents of the two supreme emperors, Li Yuan and Li Longji, he would definitely refuse to hand over power until he died.
Qianlong hypocritically gave up the throne to Jiaqing, but used He Shen to maintain power until the moment of his death.
In the final analysis, even if he is a biological son, he must consider his biological father’s true thoughts and feelings!
Third-class Adahahafan (Captain of Light Vehicles), from the title of third-class title, Yuzhu is already an imperial minister.
According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, only ministers of third rank and above were allowed to ride in a four-person official sedan when they were in the capital.
The official sedans of important ministers were made in the shape of official sedans, with silver tops, soap lids and soap curtains.
According to the rules, Yuzhu, an imperial envoy, can ride in an eight-carriage sedan.
The problem is that even Ma Qi, the chief Manchu scholar, can only ride in a four-person official sedan as long as he does not leave the capital.
Yuzhu is not stupid. When he is in the capital, he will not ride in a sedan chair.
The sixteen-year-old was promoted from a fourth-grade official to a third-grade knighthood, and then to an eye-catching eight-carriage sedan chair.
What would the old men in power in the court think of Yuzhu?
After returning home, Yuzhu changed his clothes and went to see Li Si'er if he had something to do.
Xingjiao was in the main room, reporting Hongmei's various behaviors to Xiuyun one by one.
"Grandma, Hongmei's little hooves are extremely cunning. No matter what errands my servant assigned her to do, she did it obediently, and there was almost no fault in what she did."
Xingjiao and Xiuyun also grew up together. The two of them are named Lord Maid, and they are actually little sisters.
Therefore, Xingjiao's words are very credible.
Xiuyun didn't say anything, so Xingrui asked Xingjiao: "If you don't let her wander out of the yard, will she really not take a step out?"
Xingjiao sighed and said, "Yes, he seems very well-behaved and never asks about things in the yard."
Xingrui couldn't help but take a breath, turned to look at Xiuyun, and whispered: "Grandma, Hongmei is so cunning, we must guard against it."
Xiuyun smiled faintly and said, "How to prevent her? Will she never be allowed to get close to your father? It's impossible."
With Li Si'er here, even if Xiuyun tries to drive away Hongmei, he will still reward her with another woman.
It would be even more troublesome if it were Yangzhou thin horses who specialized in seducing men.
"You guys, stop worrying about these things. No matter how powerful Hongmei is, she is just a concubine. How can she rise to the top of the world?" Xiuyun suddenly sighed quietly, "The little Cao Jia clan over there who hasn't entered the house yet is just a concubine."
He is our biggest enemy."
"Listen to my Ama, the emperor treats the Cao family very differently, and the Cao family has a lot of money. If so, the little Cao Jiashi is as beautiful as Xingrui, I'm afraid..." Xiuyun suddenly stopped talking.
However, Xingjiao and Xingrui were well aware of her unfulfilled intentions.
Xiao Caojia is also Yuzhu's official wife, and she also relies on the wealthy and powerful Cao family.
In fact, she poses a much greater threat to Xiuyun than Hongmei.
What's even more troublesome is that Xiuyun was deprived of the right to enter the palace to have an audience by the emperor, which was a huge shortcoming.
Before the legitimate son grows up and establishes a family, the woman relies on the man to live her life.
Objectively speaking, the various resources that Yuzhu obtains are always limited. If you give Xiao Caojia more, Xiuyun will get less.
Xiuyun got one less share, and her future legitimate son also got one less share.
"Grandma, what should we do?" Xingrui was impatient and asked without thinking too much.
Xiuyun stroked her hair, smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "The man who sleeps next to me all day long is an ambitious man. If you want to truly get into his heart, you can only help him with big things."
It’s only possible if you’re very busy.”
Hey, Xiuyun is very discerning, and she hit the nail on the head.
"Xingjiao, tell me, what are the backgrounds of my Amma and brother compared to the Cao family?" Xiuyun deliberately wanted to test Xingjiao's knowledge.
Xingjiao frowned, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Our family has a lot of century-old ginseng, the old man has many loyal subordinates, and the old man has many old connections in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Not to mention other things,
If our father wants to win a high title for his military exploits, our family will definitely be able to make great efforts."
Xiuyun glanced at Xingjiao with great satisfaction. Although Xingjiao was a little less beautiful than Xingrui, Xingjiao was obviously more intelligent.
Moreover, Xiuyun has noticed that when Xingjiao mentioned the Fucha family, she was talking about our family.
This is a typical example of treating the Fucha family as their own home.
Objectively speaking, it is impossible for a person who cheats and cheats to gain true trust even from his new master.
"Xingjiao, tell me, what is our top priority now?" Xiuyun became interested and wanted to see the extent of Xingjiao's great wisdom.
"Hehe, my good grandma, why do you still need to ask? Of course I gave birth to a legitimate son early." Xingjiao showed a playful smile, "Aren't you going to make rose cakes today? I'll go to Huayuanzi.
I picked some out and brought them back. Unexpectedly, I listened to something I shouldn't have heard. The young lady in charge of the family next door to ours still has no legitimate children, but she has as many as seven or eight bastards. Alas, she is about to be killed.
The concubines bullied me so much that they secretly hid and cried."
Xiuyun nodded. The world is not good and he is too harsh on women.
In the long run, Xiuyun's biggest worry is not having a legitimate son.
"Xingrui, you have spent a lot of thought and worked hard to help me capture your father, so I won't say thank you. In the future, when your biological son gets a wife, you will know how much I love you.
"." Xiuyun was very pleased, the relationship between the little sisters was really deep.
Drinking water and remembering the source, Xiuyun is now particularly grateful to Irgen Jieluo Shi.
Only a biological mother could have made plans for Xiuyun wholeheartedly from such an early stage.
