Chapter 17 Promoting Jia Zheng(1/2)
Lai Er is relatively clear about business matters, so let Lai Er and Jia Lian talk it through.
Jia Rong invited Jia Lian to sit in the room.
Laiji's face looks really good this time, and he feels like his face is shining.
He knows who gave him glory and who gave him glory.
Jia Lian listened wonderfully and applauded repeatedly, "Brother Rong has thought everything through. How did you think of it?"
Jia Rong warmed his hands over the fire and said, "If you didn't have an aunt to help you, you would have thought of this too."
The men in Rongguofu never worry about money.
Not even ten Jia Lians would have thought of this.
Jia Lian thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
He said: "You must not get involved in this businessman's business. If you have something to do, let the people below do it.
You should study hard now and wait until you pass the next scientific examination and pass the Juren exam."
Jia Rong nodded, "Thank you, uncle, for your guidance."
Seeing the handsome Jia Rong, Jia Lian wished that Brother Baoyu had such a character.
Thinking again that Baoyu was only seven years old, the idea of letting Baoyu study hard disappeared.
Then he laughed at himself. Our ancestors valued Baoyu so much, why would they let Baoyu suffer from studying?
After seeing off Jia Lian and giving some instructions to Lai Er, the room became quiet. Jia Rong picked up today's homework and started writing.
The homework in later generations also included pinyin questions and fill-in-the-blank questions. The Chinese homework here is all short answer questions, and the math homework is all application questions.
He was a little speechless, but it didn't bother him.
Qing'er and Yuanyang came into the house carrying hot meals, "Master, it's time for dinner."
Qing'er was very happy today, "I don't know, but Aunt Liu's people are here to cause trouble again."
"But I was told back by Sister Yuanyang in a few words."
Qing'er went over to support his desk and said exaggeratedly, "I finally know that quarreling is not a skill, but forcing people back with a smile is the real skill."
Jia Rong did not stop while writing, the pen in her hand wandered across the paper like a dragon, "Do you know how powerful Sister Yuanyang is?"
"Got it."
"Are you still angry?"
"No anger, only admiration."
After finishing the last stroke, Jia Rong stood up with the pen, looked at it carefully, and then put down the pen when he thought it was OK.
Yuanyang came over with a hot handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, wiping every finger.
This gentle breath is so addictive!
In these wealthy days, why should we work hard?
I really want to do nothing and enjoy the service of beautiful women every day.
The warm veil was taken away, and my hands felt cold as the water evaporated.
Jia Rong said to Yuanyang: "In two days, a thousand kilograms of high-quality bamboo charcoal will be delivered. You can give me a share. Send a share to my mother's house and Aunt Xichun's house."
……
The first rule of leadership: Not only must you be able to draw cakes, but you must also feed the horses.
Only with tangible benefits can the people under your command work hard with you.
"This is the charcoal that the uncle bought. Each house will take it and share it."
"Spend it sparingly, it will still last in winter."
Those who are not masters use ordinary coal, coal that contains sulfur smell.
All this makes the servants below feel grateful.
Depending on their positions, stewards can get a basket of high-quality bamboo charcoal.
Bamboo charcoal has no smoke and taste, and is the most expensive charcoal on the market.
These people took advantage of Jia Rong, and no one did not say good things about Jia Rong.
"Uncle Rong is better."
"Uncle Rong has been better to us since he changed his gender."
"If Uncle Rong is in charge of the family in the future, we will definitely live a better life."
This incident gave Jia Rong a lot of reputation.
Once something happens, no one would think that it would be him, Jia Rong.
Rule 5 of the workplace: Credit must not be given away, especially to direct leaders.
Jia Zhen is his direct leader and must flatter him well.
This fur business made him a lot of money, which was enough for Jia Zhen to play for a while.
Jia Rong asked Lai Er for the banknote and personally delivered it to Jia Zhen.
"Knowing that my father is interested in foreign gadgets, I originally wanted to buy them for my father in person. However, my homework has been complicated recently, so I can only send the banknotes and bother my father to go there in person."
Jia Rong put the banknote on the table, tightened his body and said: "Everything the child does is to make his father's life more comfortable and happier. I hope my father will not blame the child for making his own decisions this time."
He was talking about purchasing charcoal fire and giving it to the servants.
"Don't do this next time, you must ask me first." Jia Zhen said.
Jia Rong nodded and said: "The money in the house is a little more abundant, and the old man below has been in the house for many years, so why not mention the monthly money."
"Is your brain trapped in the door when the monthly payment is raised? Do you know how much money will be spent every month after the monthly payment is raised?"
"Get out of here, you know nothing."
Jia Rong bowed and left.
Jia Zhen educates her children with sticks. If they don’t leave, they will be scolded if they stay?
These words were spread.
When chatting privately, some elderly people complained, "Why isn't the uncle in charge?"
"If I die, I will be in charge."
"Shh, don't say these nonsense."
In Chongming Academy, Jin Rong from Class D rushed to Class A.
Because of the heavy snow, students from wealthy families choose to study at home instead of coming to the academy.
So there are not many students in the classroom.
Jin Rong sat down in front of Jia Rong, picked up the snacks on the table and ate them.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Cold."
Although the college provides charcoal fires, they are far from enough.
Jin Rong laughed, "You feel cold too, and I told you not to go to school.
My mother pinched my ears and said, Uncle Rong goes to the academy, why don’t you go?”
Jin Rong lifted his hat to show Jia Rong his ears, and his mother really made him blush.
Seeing no one around, Jin Rong asked Jia Rong: "Is the second master (Jia Zheng) going to be promoted?"
Is Jia Zheng promoted?
Wang Ziteng is not dead yet, how can Jia Zheng be promoted?
In these years, Jia Zheng relied on the help of his in-laws to serve as an official.
Although he wanted to be an official, he didn't understand the ways of the world, so he sat in the position of a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry.
After the Ming Dynasty, the position of Yuanwailang became a sinecure, no longer related to the imperial examination, but gradually associated with wealth. As long as they were willing to spend money, landlords and businessmen could donate a Yuanwai official position to it.
The system of the Zhou Dynasty in Dream of Red Mansions follows the official position system of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuanwailang is also a useless official position.
Here we have to talk about the world of Dream of Red Mansions.
It lies between the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, along the culture of the Han, Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties.
As for where the Qing Dynasty went?
Why was the founding emperor able to defeat Hou Jin and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty?
It’s because of a person, a time traveler.
He carefully studied the history books and learned an interesting thing.
