Chapter 130 129 Let the money

After breakfast, Wei Guangde asked someone to clean the dining table, and Dad Wei took him to Zhang's mansion.

Wei Guangde was chatting with Zhang Hongfu in a flower hall, while his father went to Zhang Tongzhi's study with his uncle. He was not clear about what he had to do, but Wei Guangde also guessed something.

However, during lunch, the Zhang family’s adults, uncles and fathers were not there, saying that they were going to the yamen to do business, so Zhang Fugui asked them to have a meal together.

My father followed him to the commander's office. Wei Guangde still knew something. Today is the day to reward meritoriously. I think my father's appointment document will be taken today.

In the afternoon, I received news from the commander's yamen that there was another banquet tonight, and Wei Guangde and Zhang Hongfu simply slipped out and had fun outside.

The ones I looked for tonight were all the young men from the garrison station. The family members were attending the banquet in the commander's yamen now, and no one was in charge of it.

"By the way, what is that general who is the official position?"

Wei Guangde knew the position in the ward station, but he really didn't know what kind of official position the general was.

"General, who has the power to lead the army, his rank is probably the same as that of the commander of the guard."

Someone heard Wei Guangde's words and replied casually, "There is no such official in the mainland, only border towns can be found. That is to lead troops to fight."

"What does this mean?"

Zhang Hongfu was very curious when he heard Wei Guangde ask about the future of the party.

"I heard from my father that a new general named Yu Dayou has taken office in Zhejiang. He is only in his forties."

Wei Guangde replied.

"What's so strange about that? It's normal."

Zhang Hongfu laughed casually.

"But he climbed up from a hundred households in his twenties, and he said he was very awesome."

Wei Guangde explained.

"Then this person has an extraordinary background. He has been promoted to the first level of commander in 20 years, and has been transferred from the north to the sixth level to the third level?"

Someone asked in surprise.

"have no idea."

Wei Guangde shook his head. He really didn't know the origin of Yu Dayou. He only knew such a person, and Dad Wei didn't explain it in detail.

"I have been promoted to level six in twenty years and level one in more than three years. There will definitely be someone behind me."

Zhang Hongfu thought and said, "There is no war in the south, and it is also in Guizhou, Guangxi. I heard that there are rebellions there from time to time."

To be honest, if there is no war, it is difficult to get promoted.

But if there is war, it also means the risk of losing one's life.

In fact, in the Ming army at this time, there was nothing I could do except the border army. There were very few promotions from the mainland garrison officials, most of whom inherited their father's business and inherited from generation to generation.

An official position can be promoted, but many military officers will try to stop the transfer.

Promotion is to be promoted in our garrison, so it is naturally the best.

However, once you are transferred to another place to work, no matter how high the level is, it is likely that your family will never be able to get involved in that hereditary position.

"Forget it, just keep your own acre of three-point land. I don't want the old man at home to be promoted."

Someone sighed and said at this time.

"That's right, this is great. I hope we won't be able to transfer our Jiujiang Guards out to fight in the future. Many people died this time."

"They continue to be their officials, so we can enjoy life, haha."

"By the way, what kind of business is more profitable now?"

After they started chatting, Wei Guangde suddenly remembered his own affairs and asked.

"What business do? Nowadays, small businesses don't make money, and big businesses require a lot of capital."

Someone next to him answered.

"Do you still have free money to do business?"

Zhang Hongfu glanced at Wei Guangde and asked strangely.

In his opinion, shouldn’t Wei Guangde use the past two years to study hard and prepare for the provincial examination three years later?

In fact, Wei Guangde asked this because his father said in the morning that he would give him 10,000 taels of silver. He would not be a wealthy slave and hide the silver cellar at home.

There were too many financial advertising in later generations. Even if there were no financial advertising, he would have a house for rent.

Because of the influence of later generations, Wei Guangde now naturally hopes to find a channel so that the money in his hand can make money for him.

However, he has never thought about what business to make money.

There were so many people today, so Wei Guangde asked casually. Although he didn't expect them to give him any inspiration, he would have a jujube or not. What if there is any business to do?

However, Zhang Hongfu's words made Wei Guangde difficult to answer for a moment, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I have a few hundred taels of silver, and I want to do some small business to make money."

"It's a few hundred taels, and it's hard to open a cloth ration store, but it's hard to say whether it's profitable or not. There are no old customers. Even if you take over other people's old shops, your business will probably not be very good."

"What kind of business is that you can buy dozens of acres of land for hundreds of taels of silver. Wouldn't it be great to collect rent every year? You are also a scholar anyway."

"Buy land more easily, and you have an input every year. If you do business, it is best to find a family member to operate it. You are a scholar and should not be tainted with the smell of money."

Everyone was talking nonsense, and everyone's opinions were astonishingly consistent as Wei Guangde wanted to invest in silver, that was, to buy land and collect rent.

Wei Guangde had long since had no hope for buying land.

In fact, two months ago, my father had already asked Wei's mother to help Wei Guangde buy land in the letter he wrote after he became a scholar.

But the land in this year, although there is a drought in Jiangxi this year, land prices still show signs of rising prices, which is a bit of a price but no market.

If people with land hadn’t been in a hurry to use money, who would have sold land?

What's more, in the Chinese mind, land is property, and only prodigal sons can do the business of selling property, and only when a prodigal son is really prodigal will the land flow out.

In these years, land is much more valuable than real estate.

For this reason, the Wei family wanted to buy land for Wei Guangde, but they still haven't found a seller, which is not suitable.

Therefore, Wei Guangde thought that he could not buy land, so he could do business.

During this period in Jiujiang Prefecture, he saw the prosperity of commerce on the streets.

No matter what era, the richest one is always a businessman.

After a delicious meal, everyone dispersed and went home.

Wei Guangde and Zhang Hongfu were on the way. When they were walking on the road, Zhang Hongfu asked for no reason: "Guangde, if you really have those hundreds of taels of silver and want to make some money, you might as well take it out and put the money from your mother and child."

"Mother-child money? Ultimate loan?"

Wei Guangde said in surprise.

"Of course, if we have spare money, we will leave it to someone to help us release it. The money will be safer."

Zhang Hongfu smiled and said, "I handed over the small money to the casino. The gamblers there don't need much money. They borrowed a few taels of silver and used houses to pay off their debts. Now there are fewer land.

If you have a lot of money, then find a pawnshop. If you really need it, I will help you find someone for this matter and will never let you come forward."

"You're very familiar with this business?"

Wei Guangde asked in surprise.

"My second uncle did this first, hehe."

Zhang Hongfu said dismissively, "Later, as many people met, a businessman asked him to help with other things."
