Chapter 292: A Disciple of the Xue Family, Xiang Ling’s Gift
The most important thing in the world is talent. This is true for politics and business.
Although Xue Baochai's father unfortunately died young, the Xue family of the Imperial Shang Dynasty was still maintained by capable people like Uncle Xue.
Jia Lan believes that the second uncle of the Xue family is the key to the complete decline of the Xue family.
He is the father of Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin. If the plot of the original book is followed, this second uncle would have passed away long ago. This will lead to Xue Biao taking his sister to Beijing to wait for her marriage in the late autumn of next year.<
/p>
The specific situations of the characters in this world of Red Mansions are generally the same as those in the original book, but sometimes they are a little different.
For example, Jiao Da was not the first-generation personal soldier of Ning Guogong as many people thought, but a personal soldier of Jia Daihua.
If the plot of the original book is strictly followed, Xue Biao's father should have passed away, but according to the news from Xiang Ling, he is still alive today.
Jia Lan subconsciously felt that this might be an opportunity!
Not only the Xue family's collection documents, but also Xue Biao, the most promising person in the next generation of the Xue family.
Cao Gong's works are full of wonder and justice, and they complement each other.
Xue Pan loves to have fun, he is a fool, a fool, and a fool, but he is a good brother and a person who is determined to do serious things.
Before he met Xiang Ling and gave birth to a life-threatening lawsuit, the Xue family had already made up their mind to go to Beijing. Although Cao Gong repeatedly emphasized in the book that Xue Pan came to Beijing to "see the scenery of Shangguo", there were several other things besides that.
The main thing is:
One is to send a girl to be chosen, the second is to meet a relative, and the third is to personally go to the ministry to settle old accounts and calculate new expenses.
I can honestly say that if Baoyu could carry out a serious matter like the above every time when he was having fun, he would probably be able to wake up the great devil Jia Zheng from his sleep with a smile.
Xue Pan has the intention to do things but cannot accomplish them, while Xue Biao is the opposite.
Xue Pan is a fool, but Xue Pan behaves elegantly.
Xue Pan didn't understand the world and couldn't accomplish anything. Xue Pan was calm and steady, and ran in many directions when the Jia family was in trouble.
Xue Pan was a womanizer and a loyal man. Xue Pan's wife Xia Jingui and maid Bao Chan tried to seduce him in every possible way, but Xue Pan remained unmoved.
The two cousins are both positive and negative.
Aunt Xue made up her mind to go to Beijing, probably because she saw the excellence of the Xue Biao brothers and decided to stay away.
The second uncle of the Xue family is very good at educating his children. Instead of reading thousands of books, he prefers traveling thousands of miles. "I visited this province for a year, and next year I visited that province for half a year, so I would travel five or six times out of ten stops in the world."
"I stopped" and "went to the west coast to buy foreign goods."
Brother and sister Xue Biao traveled around with their father, so they were naturally well-informed and extremely talented.
When Aunt Xue saw her husband, she found it difficult to support herself and her daughter Xue Baochai. Her only son, Xue Pan, had no business talent, so she might as well form a good relationship with Xue Pan's father.
Fortunately, the cousins have a very good relationship and keep in contact with each other. Xue Baochai even affectionately calls Xue Biao "second brother". With this friendship, everything will be easy in the future.
Jia Lan is also very interested in Xue Biao.
He is short of people.
Very lacking.
Although he has the knowledge of later generations, Jialan is just an ordinary ordinary person. He has not taken any weird handicraft classes, nor has he been proficient in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in his childhood.
He didn't know how to mine in school, and physical and chemical biology were simply nightmare memories for him. He didn't encounter adventures after enthusiastically signing up to join the army when he was in school, and he didn't meet any noble people.
Jialan is in great need of talents with both ability and political integrity like Xue Biao.
"Are you worried?"
Suddenly, Xiangling asked Jia Lan, and emphasized: "Unlike the previous few times when you were calm and calm, tonight your thoughts have been fluctuating, although it is not obvious..."
Troubled?
Jia Lan was a little surprised, but then also a little relieved.
I remembered that before I came to Xunxiang Ling, when I invited Qingwen and the two of them to have a drink, Qingwen looked at her hesitant expression. Was it already so obvious?
People are always troubled, and too much trouble comes from thinking too much.
There are so many things involved in sea trade, but it is one that cannot be taken lightly, because its success or failure is directly related to Jia Lan's future plans.
Jia Lan is not a narrow-minded person, it is just that knowing what is difficult is difficult, but doing it is difficult. This is not an automatic command that can be made by picking up the mobile phone and browsing the forum before time travel, or sitting in front of the computer and pressing the mouse. p>
Overseas trade is a very complex systematic project. At present, the profits are not as huge as written in other novel plots.
There are also professional people familiar with the market in the Franconian Merchant Store in Luzon who are responsible for valuing the goods. Although they are thousands of miles apart, Westerners are also very clear about the prices of goods in Guangnan and even southern provinces. Those who try to sell tea, porcelain, etc.
It is completely unrealistic to think that selling for a sky-high price and the profit from one trip to the sea is enough to make people trample on everything...
That's right, after all, they are just primary products. If you want to obtain excess profits, the key is to develop more high-quality and competitive products.
It’s so confusing.
As night falls, the stars shine on the Qinfang River, the night wind blows, and the trickle of spring water in the stream becomes more beautiful.
Although the cold winter has passed, the winter nights in Shenjing are still quite cold.
Jia Lan, who didn't want to say anything else, said quickly: "It's very late and it's cold outside. Xiangling, you'd better go back and warm your hands and feet."
"Okay." Xiangling agreed obediently and started to move towards Hengwu Garden.
Just when Xiangling's figure was about to disappear from Jia Lan's sight, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jia Lan.
"Although I don't know what Lange'er is worried about, I just suddenly remembered a story that Langeer once told me, and a sentence you said after the story. Now Xiangling wants to repay this sentence.
To Langeer."
After a pause, she said: "Only when you have experienced pain can you realize the suffering of all living beings. Only when you have experienced attachment can you let go of your attachment. Only when you have experienced worry can you be free from worry."
Xiangling spoke in her usual soft and slow tone, her voice seemed to be flowing in the air, carrying a refreshing fragrance that made people unconsciously intoxicated.
Although Jia Lan knew that all this was just a conversation between the two of them, every syllable that Xiang Ling spoke seemed to be full of magical energy and touching.
For a moment, Jia Lan was so crazy that he just stood there in the winter night.
May I ask if the young master has ambitions to aspire to the throne?
The words that were so loud during the day floated in my mind again.
Only then did Jia Lan realize that what he cared about was not sea trade or the imperial examination, but what Jiao Da asked him.
The happiest thing in the world is probably to be an emperor, where you can live, kill, and do whatever you want.
But is that position really that good?
Being a king is more of a responsibility than a privilege. If you don't realize this, you are not worthy of being the ruler of all peoples.
At this moment, Jia Lan has always been sure that he has no ambition to win the championship, but one thing he is sure of is that he is somewhat of a responsible person.
That little sense of responsibility drives Jialan.
Now that we have come to this era, we should do some practical things and do some good deeds.
