Chapter 141: The determination of the master and father Yan
Regardless of ancient or modern times, there are only a few good people who can manage their business to a certain scale.
It is no exaggeration to say that the big businessman has countless blood on his hands?
At first, Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, was sold as a slave because of his poverty. He was resold several times. The last time, he was sold to the owner of a coal mine to dig coal. As a result, within three days, the entire coal mine suffered a mudslide.
More than a hundred of Dou Guangguo's workers were all buried in an instant. Only Dou Guangguo was lucky because he was bullied by his workers because of his young age. He was kicked out of the shed and camped in the wild. It was a blessing in disguise that he saved his life.
More than a hundred people died, but the mine owner did not even pay half a copper coin in compensation, and the matter was even strictly sealed. If Dou Guangguo and Empress Dowager Dou had not recognized each other later, this matter would never have come to light!
Going a little further, the Gao Emperor Liu Bang adopted wrong economic policies that led to inflation. In Guanzhong, a stone of rice cost five thousand yuan, and the people exchanged their sons for food.
Is there really no food in Guanzhong?
There are some, but they are all hoarded by people.
Zhang Jue can take his business from Linzi to Chang'an. Is it possible without some connections?
Zhang Jue took a deep breath, slammed the bamboo slip to the ground, and said harshly: "If you want to be Uncle Fan, you should first find King Zhao!"
Just a small official with a hundred stones?
So outrageous!
"If you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, are you afraid that no one will deal with you?" Zhang Jue thought in his mind.
Although it pains Zhang Jue to spend so much money, every businessman knows that danger must be nipped in the bud.
Then he got into the carriage and headed for the street.
As soon as Zhang Jue left, another carriage arrived at the door of Master Yan's house.
"It should be right here..." Ji An got out of the carriage, looked up at the door of the master's father Yan's house, and nodded. Of course Ji An had heard about the matter of catching the son-in-law. Not only had he heard about it, but he also had a deep understanding of it.
experience.
The day before yesterday, his father sent a letter to him, saying that Nanpi Hou Dou Guangde intended to marry his granddaughter to him and asked his opinion.
What opinion could he have?
Nan Pihou's thighs are thick and big. It is no exaggeration to say that given his current status, he is a bit high.
Ji An just got out of the car and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly saw a bamboo slip on the ground. Ji An was born with a clean sex and a mysophobia. He also had obsessive-compulsive disorder and hated to see dirt on the ground. So he bent down and picked up the bamboo slip.
He took the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it: "Who knows about Fan Shuhan in the wind and snow?" Ji An then secretly stuffed the bamboo slip into his sleeve.
"After I return to the palace, I need to report something to His Highness!" Ji An thought.
After Ji An put away the bamboo slips, he asked his servants to knock on the door.
Boom, boom, boom! The door opened, and a man's face was revealed. When he saw the formation in front of the door, he immediately understood. He quickly put on a smile and asked: "Is your distinguished guest coming?"
Ji An took a step forward, bowed and said: "On the order of His Highness Liu De, I came to pay a visit to Mr. Taoyan, the master of Linzi..."
The porter hurriedly said: "Your honor, please wait a moment. I will go and inform my master..."
Not long after, Master Fu Yan hurried out. When he saw Ji An, he naturally recognized him. He was one of the invigilators who often appeared in the examination room. He was a close confidant of his future master.
So he bowed with a smile on his face and said: "If you are not a talented master, how can you dare to honor this guest? If your highness has something to do, you can summon him. How dare you disobey your orders, a humble gentleman?"
Ji An said without any expression on his face: "Mr. Master, your articles and talents are highly appreciated by His Highness. His Highness is thirsty for talents and is waiting for a vacant position. Mr. Unknown, maybe Mr. Unknown should be appointed?"
Master Yan didn't have the time to pay attention to Ji An's expression at this moment. He nodded his head and said: "I can only receive such kindness from His Highness, and I am willing to do my best!"
Ji An nodded and clapped his hands, and several servants came in carrying a box. Ji An opened the box directly and said: "Here are ten pieces of gold, ten pieces of silk and satin, and ten thousand dollars. Please keep it, sir. This is
His Highness’s application qualifications..."
In order to build momentum, His Highness is really willing to give up... Ji An also sighed in his heart.
Each of the twelve scholars was like this, and the total cost was nearly five hundred gold, which was equivalent to giving away the entire property of fifty middle-class families.
But Ji An felt that the money was well spent!
Since ancient times, wise kings have used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over talents. How can a stingy and money-keeping person succeed?
only……
Is this master Fu Yan a talented person?
Ji An is deeply suspicious!
As a person from Huang Laoxue, he doesn't like people who are narrow-minded and unyielding. He always feels that such people are really villains, only one level higher than hypocrites.
When the master looked at the contents of the box, he felt a sense of pride and gratitude in his heart.
Everyone born in Zongheng School must have high ambitions and strong self-esteem.
It is precisely because of these two qualities that Fan Sui, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others can stir up the world.
He bowed deeply and said: "The kindness of knowing and encountering you will never be forgotten. Yan will swear allegiance to His Highness to the death!"
His statement made Ji An feel a little more comfortable: "It seems that he is a loyal minister... and has some conscience..."
"Sir, please come with me..." Ji An finally showed a smile and said, "Your Highness, you are still waiting in the palace!"
"promise!"
As soon as Zhufuyan walked out of his house, he suddenly heard loud music. He saw a group of musicians, playing various instruments, playing a somewhat unfamiliar piece of music. Zhufuyan had no research on the music, but he could still hear it.
This seems to be a piece of music used in ancient times to express the joy of a prince when he was recruiting a scholar.
As soon as the music started playing, the neighbors were alerted, and everyone stuck their heads out to look at it curiously.
Two servants in brown clothes respectfully led Master Yan onto the carriage and sang in unison: "May you rise to the top and become the pillar of the country!"
Master Yan got on the carriage excitedly, feeling extremely happy.
In particular, when he saw one of his neighbors taking his child out to watch the fun, the child was about eight or nine years old, with braids on his head and looked very cute.
"Father, what are you doing?" The innocent and tender voice of the child reached the father's ears: "It's so majestic. The child will want to be like this in the future!"
"Then you should study hard and take the exams in the future, and you will be like this person!" The parent said to his child in a serious voice.
After hearing this, the master's father didn't know why, but a stream of clear water flowed down quietly.
He remembered that when he was in Linzi, a group of children followed him and sang: "Zhufuyan, seventeen years old, learning vertical and horizontal, long and short cannot be combined, big and small cannot be controlled..."
Unexpectedly, he would one day be a role model and idol for a child.
It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!
Master Fuyan knew clearly who gave him all this.
"Without Your Highness's kindness, I would be just a lost dog. How could I be where I am today?" Master Yan said to himself in his heart: "A gentleman dies for a confidant. In the future, let me be Your Highness's mad dog! Whoever dares to bully Your Highness, I will do it for you."
Bite him to death!"
