Chapter Five Hundred and Two The Shocking Change in the House
War is actually a gold-eating beast that can bring down a country or a group. Therefore, how to maintain the high cost of war is also one of the most testing conditions for the vitality of a country and a group. This is why Xiao He and Li Shanchang were appointed as the founders of the People's Republic of China.
The reason for success.
Therefore, Wu Shigong understood Deng Qifan's dedication and hard work. But now that the Runing Army had so many places to spend its money, Wu Shigong had no choice but to harden his heart and squeeze Deng Qifan as hard as he could.
Wu Shigong could only sigh and said: "Since the beginning of spring, the Ma family's weaving workshop has been doing well. After a while, Mr. Deng's pressure will be much less!"
Hearing this, Xue Yongli remembered something. He asked: "Uncle, I heard that the head of the Ma family came to our Runing with the second master Ma this time. Their family is a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Is there anyone?
Maybe open some more workshops?" Wu Shigong's policy of attracting investment gradually became popular, and even Xue Yongli began to care about this issue.
But Wu Shigong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "I have been here for a month and I have invited you several times, but I always said that I was visiting friends. It seems like I have to avoid seeing you."
"That's okay, let's just figure it out ourselves." Xue Yongli comforted, "No, in two days it won't be that... the stock exchange trading house will open. But uncle, what kind of sales are there in that trading house?
Or something, I see that only Madam Li is doing business there, can the business really make money?"
This time Runingjun's stock exchange was established, but only Mama Li's brothel chain was willing to go public. Wu Shigong was going to make a big joke when he saw it, so he quickly contacted Bian's Iron Works and Jimin Reclamation Trading Company's Ruzhou Branch
Joining these two families makes it look less shabby.
Moreover, Wu Shigong also posted widely to invite local officials and gentry to support him, so I don’t know what the final effect will be.
In fact, none of these three industries entered the stock exchange willingly. They just relied on Runingjun for survival, so they were finally willing to join in. But that's it. Mother Li and Bian's Iron Workshop both wanted to give Wu Shigong something to do.
To protect the safety of their property, they were deeply afraid that the political exchange would deceive them.
Therefore, for the sake of Runing Army's career and to reassure these people, Wu Shigong could only sacrifice himself and accept these bribes with dignity. However, seeing Mother Li and the others' happy faces after seeing him receiving the gifts, Wu Shigong couldn't help but feel
I laughed secretly in my heart: "I wonder what expressions they will have on their faces after they know the true value of these shares?"
Of course, when good things happen, Wu Shigong will not forget his own people, so he said with a smile: "Not many people understand new things. So we, Runing Army, can't make much money from this stock exchange in the short term. But
Uncle Yongli, just listen to me, take some money and buy stocks, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
Xue Yongli trusted Wu Shigong's words, and he immediately agreed: "I'll join in the fun, too. I'm going to go on an expedition tomorrow. I'll ask my family to give five hundred taels to my uncle, and let my uncle give me some advice."
"Okay! You should go back early. I will go and see you off in person tomorrow."
So Xue Yongli stood up to say goodbye, but as soon as he stood up, he stopped as if he remembered something.
"What's wrong?" Wu Shigong was a little surprised, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Xue Yongli hesitated for a while, then sat back on the chair. He looked around and found that no one was around. He whispered to Wu Shigong: "Uncle! I have something to tell you: Aunt Li found my wife yesterday.
, I want to propose marriage for the second young master, and I want to marry Zicha from the younger family."
Wu Shigong's expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed tightly. Zi Cha is Xue Yongli's granddaughter. Her age is quite suitable for Wu Chengying, but why did Li Xin propose marriage in private?
Now Wu Shigong's designated successor is his eldest son Xue Chenglin, so there will be very strict requirements for the marriage of other children. For powerful ministers such as Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli, Wu Shigong's daughters can marry into their families, but the daughters of these other families can marry into their families.
But he cannot marry into it. Otherwise, other sons who have the support of the in-law family may challenge Xue Chenglin's position as "Crown Prince".
Li Xin was also confused. She knew that she could not agree to this, but she dared to kill first and then show off in private. You must know that it is absolutely impossible for Wu Shigong to touch Xue Chenglin's position now.
There are many reasons for this, but there are two main reasons: One reason is that the core of the Runing Army is the generals of the Xue family who were former guards of the Xue Mansion. As long as Xue Chenglin takes over successfully, these generals of the Xue family will serve as Xue family generals.
The caring people of the government will also successfully become Xue Chenglin's confidant, so they can keep their wealth for several generations. Therefore, they will never change their family to take risks.
Another reason is the eldest son system. Xue Chenglin is the heir apparent who has been canonized by the current orthodox court, and his status as the eldest son cannot be shaken even by Wu Shigong. If Wu Shigong wants to change, he will immediately challenge the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty.
A major reason for maintaining the cohesion of the Runing Army now is that everyone in the Runing Army believes that they are the inheritors and promoters of the Chinese orthodoxy. Therefore, as the leader of the Runing Army, no matter what he is like in private, Wu Shigong publicly
Everyone must show their high moral character.
This is what the Runing Army has repeatedly instilled in the teaching textbooks of the army and schools, and it is also vigorously promoted by Fu Wenzhai's Propaganda Department. And the reason why Wu Shigong has been talking about credibility, student aid, and disaster relief...even the Runing Army
He did not open any establishments such as casinos just to show Wu Shigong's noble character.
However, if the "Crown Prince" is changed, Wu Shigong's image of noble morals will immediately collapse, which can be said to be fatal during the founding period of the Runing Army. Therefore, Wu Shigong will never allow this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall to happen.
But at this time, Wu Shigong still wanted to touch Xue Yongli's thoughts. So he asked: "Then what do you think?"
"The younger one has already told my wife that the second young master can't reach a high position." Xue Yongli's answer did not go beyond Wu Shigong's expectation at all, but the next words surprised Wu Shigong, "Although the younger one is in a high position now,
, but my family has followed the Marquis for generations, and I have never dared to forget our roots. So I just want the Marquis and my uncle to agree to let Zi Cha be the crown prince's side wife."
"What?" Wu Shigong blurted out in surprise, "Isn't this wronging your purple tea?"
"I'm not aggrieved at all. Being able to serve the Crown Prince is also a blessing for Zi Cha." Xue Yongli replied resolutely. Then, he closed his mouth tightly and stared at Wu Shigong, waiting for Wu Shigong's answer. (Not finished yet.
