Originally, Zhao Donghe prepared flower wine in Qinxiangyuan. After eating and drinking, he would take off his clothes and have a good night.
As a result, Yuzhu said that he only wanted to go to Zhao Donghe's other courtyard, which was a bit intriguing.
Yuzhu did reward him with face, but only half of it. Zhao Donghe was a little disappointed, but he did not lose face. He was in a very mysterious state.
Before going out, Lin Yan'er looked at Yuzhu longingly.
Yuzhu originally didn't want to take her out with him. But then he thought about Zhao Donghe, a thief who likes to give away women and make trouble, so he nodded and took Lin Yan'er with him.
If Zhao Donghe tries to become a monster again, Lin Yan'er will be a good shield.
In addition, Lin Yan'er's old tree was arranged very well today, so it is okay to reward her appropriately.
Lin Yaner happily changed her clothes, followed Yuzhu, boarded the car and went out.
Zhao Donghe is a rare clever person. If one plan fails, another one will come up.
After booking the table, someone was immediately sent to transfer it to another hospital.
In addition, we invited a troupe to sing Kunqu opera, a female scholar to sing minor tunes, a storyteller, Tianqiao Liu to perform juggling, etc.
The most important thing is to take Lin Xiaoer to another hospital.
Now that Lin Yan'er has come out, it's time for Lin Xiao'er to keep in touch with her sister, right?
Daxing County is an affiliated county of Beijing. The county government is located in Daxing Hutong in Jiaozhongfang, south of Anding Gate. Its jurisdiction covers the eastern half of Beijing, as well as the vast areas south and north of the city.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Donghe, the magistrate of Daxing County, is the local emperor of most of the forty-nine cities. In addition to the affairs of the bannermen, there is nothing that he cannot take care of.
The official position is not high, the trouble is not small, but the real power is great!
This was also the fundamental factor why Lin Yaner's biological father, Lin Wu, handed over his two legitimate daughters to Zhao Donghe for placement.
When Yuzhu and the others arrived at the other courtyard, Lin Xiaoer had already arrived early. However, Lin Xiaoer told Lin Yaner that their third brother, Lin Zhangshun, had also come with them.
Lin Yan'er was naturally overjoyed when she heard that her third brother was here. She took advantage of Zhao Donghe's arrival at the door to arrange entertainment activities, so she leaned into Yu Zhu's ear and whispered about it.
Who was Yuzhu? As soon as he heard that Lin Zhangshun was coming, he knew that the Lin family wanted to push Lin Zhangshun in front of him.
It's just a meeting, but for such a small amount of face, I still have to reward Lin Yan'er. Who said she has a good foundation?
So, twenty-five-year-old Lin Zhangshun was led to Yuzhu.
"Lin Zhangshun, a common man, comes to see the Number One Scholar." Lin Zhangshun knelt down in front of Yuzhu in an orderly manner, kowtowed respectfully, and did not dare to show any slights because his sister was Yuzhu's pillow.
Official and businessman are just one word apart, but they are vastly different.
No matter how rich a businessman is, he must kneel down and salute when meeting an official.
According to the old rules, after a new scholar is introduced to the palace, the number one scholar will be awarded at least the sixth rank of compilation.
As Yuzhu is a Manchu nobleman, and he is also the unprecedented champion of the Great Four Elements and the Small Six Elements, even if he thinks with his feet, he will definitely receive blessings from him today.
The so-called compilation, which made the scholars envious and envious, had actually been left behind by Yuzhu.
Zhao Donghe was so envious!
After he won the title of Sanjia and Jinshi, he was admitted to the Common Hall and studied for three years. After leaving the hall and taking the imperial examination, he was appointed as the seventh-rank magistrate of Wuqing County.
Because he is eloquent and good at flattering his boss.
From the time he passed the Jinshi examination, it took more than eight years in total for Zhao Donghe to be promoted to the sixth rank of Daxing County Magistrate. This was considered an excellent official career.
Tang Bing was even worse than Zhao Donghe. Before he accepted Yuzhu as his disciple, it had been almost twenty years, and he had been stuck in the same place, unable to get promoted.
However, the sixteen-year-old Yuzhu, who has just started out, is at least a sixth grader.
There is no comparison between people!
People are more annoying than others!
Even if he is internally injured due to anger, he can only stare!
Seeing that Lin Zhangshun was extremely obedient and Yuzhu would not embarrass him, he said with a smile: "Get up, sit down, and serve tea."
Zhao Donghe on the side nodded secretly. Many official terms may have completely different meanings under specific circumstances.
If Yuzhu only asked Lin Zhangshun to stand up and did not give up his seat or serve tea, then it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with him.
I just gave up my seat and didn't serve tea. This can be regarded as a kind of dissatisfaction, but the degree is slightly lighter.
Now, Zhao Donghe also saw it, stood up, gave up his seat and served tea, all three at once. Yuzhu obviously planned to show favor to Lin Zhangshun.
Lin Zhangshun carefully sat on only half of his buttocks, leaning sideways, lowering his head, and obeyed the orders obediently.
There is no way, no matter how favored Lin Yan'er is, she will still be a quasi-concubine who cannot be put on the stage.
Lin Zhangshun didn't have the guts at all and regarded himself as Yuzhu's uncle.
If you really do this, you are violating the etiquette without knowing it, and it will be easy for you to be beaten with a stick.
According to feudal etiquette, only the relatives of the main wife's direct wife's family are Yuzhu's official relatives. Who are the concubine's relatives?
In fact, Yuzhu knew very well that Lin Zhangshun would appear in front of him sooner or later.
How could Lin Yan'er's superficial thoughts be hidden from Yu Zhu's eyes?
However, Yuzhu always wanted to open up maritime and Western trade. After making a lot of money, he slowly asked Longkoduo and Li Si'er to stop accepting huge bribes.
With Lin Yan'er as his pillow, Yuzhu can use the entire Lin family as a white glove to make money, and it will be easier to use it.
Yuzhu has already selected the number one candidate and is waiting to go through the procedures before entering the palace and then being awarded the title.
Yuzhu, who had already freed up his hands, had long planned to take some time to meet Lin Zhangshun and observe him closely to see if he was good material for overseas trade?
"What aspects of the business is Brother Lin responsible for?" Yuzhu was not interested in the Lin family's housework at all, so he directly asked about business matters.
"Back to the second master, I will be responsible for purchasing things such as silk and silk cloth from Suhang and Hangzhou, cotton from Jiading County, tea and tea bricks from Yangloudong in Jiangxia, woodblock New Year paintings from Zhuxian Town, patent medicines from Foshan Town, and Jingdezhen.
Porcelain is all for villains to purchase." Lin Zhangshun stood up, leaned over and cupped his hands, and answered Yu Zhu's question in detail.
In the era of small-scale peasant economy, the core business of large family merchants was purchasing goods. It can be seen that Lin Zhangshun was still highly regarded in the Lin family.
Merchants are pragmatic and profit-oriented, and there is no obvious distinction between direct descendants and concubines in merchant families.
No matter who the sons of big businessmen are, as long as they can help the family make money, they are likely to take over and take over the power.
Yuzhu asked Lin Shunzhang in passing: "How to purchase tea bricks from Jiangxia?"
Lin Zhangshun replied respectfully: "Returning to the second master, these Jiangxia rice tea bricks are made by tea merchants who collect black tea near Yangloudong. The leaves are fermented and sold to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The tea powder is then pressed into bricks. The small ones buy it.
The brick tea made from pressed tea powder is as small as rice grains, divided into 72-meter bricks and 48-meter bricks..." He kept talking all the way.
Yuzhu nodded secretly. Lin Zhangshun was very familiar with the business situation and was obviously not an idiot.
To be honest, a local businessman like Lin Zhangshun is definitely not familiar with overseas Western trade. He only needs to have basic businessman qualities to meet Yuzhu's requirements.
Of course, merchants in this era generally lacked experience in trading with the West.
No way, this was not the period of five-port trade that was opened to the country by the British army after the Opium War.
Due to the frequent opening and closing of maritime bans, which were mainly restricted, there was a huge gap in the talent pool for overseas trade.
If you want to recruit shopkeepers who are familiar with overseas trade, you can only go to Macao, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province.
The specific overseas trade regulations will be listed in detail in Yuzhuhui. To put it bluntly, Lin Zhangshun is just a white glove and supervisor who handles specific tasks.
As for the so-called business network of the Lin family, it is somewhat useful to Yuzhu, but it is not of much use.
Eventually, it will definitely be necessary to start anew.
This is the same situation as when Procter & Gamble entered the Chinese market after reform. In order to open up a vast market, Procter & Gamble organized various training courses, which naturally became the Whampoa Military Academy of domestic detergent companies.
What Yuzhu wants to do now is also a pioneering big business. The biggest problem is not trading with foreign merchants, but how to persuade Kangxi to completely lift the maritime ban.
When it comes to food, you have to eat it one bite at a time, and Yuzhu is not in a hurry at all.
Even if it was true, Kangxi was still stubborn and refused to lift the sea ban, so there was nothing to worry about.
After the collapse of Shanling, Yuzhu was only in his early thirties. He could definitely open a port for trade in Guangzhou after he took power.
Lin Yan'er could not help but secretly let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Yu Zhu asked very detailed questions, and her third brother Lin Zhangshun also answered fluently.
Since Lin Yan'er became the concubine of the Tong family, Lin Zhangshun's status in the Lin family naturally increased and he became the natural successor.
Based on the idea that making money comes later and the team goes first, Yuzhu wanted to continue to inspect Lin Zhangshun, so he said: "If you have time recently, you can go to the Macau Fair in Xiangshan County, Guangdong to see what kind of goods the foreigners have and what kind of goods they like us.
What kind of goods?"
Lin Zhangshun knew in his heart that Yuzhu seemed to be negotiating with him, but in fact he could not refuse.
The consequences of offending Yuzhu are extremely serious. At least, the next generation head of the Lin family will not be able to think about him anymore.
"Yes, after I return home, I will pack up a little and try to set off south to Macau, Xiangshan County within three days." Lin Zhangshun quickly expressed his attitude of obeying the order and did not dare to neglect at all.
Yuzhu was very satisfied with Lin Zhangshun's attitude, so he smiled and said, "It's the first time you meet Brother Lin, so why don't you stay and have a bar together?"
Lin Zhangshun was overjoyed. He was not an idiot. Yuzhu asked so many questions, obviously testing him.
"Thank you, Second Master, for the compliment. It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."
When Zhao Donghe saw that Yuzhu had finished asking, he said with a smile: "Brother Lin is a wizard in the business world. Despite his young age, he has been in business for more than ten years."
Typical hindsight.
If Yuzhu hadn't left Lin Zhangshun to have a drink with him, he would have told another story.
Zhao Donghe was the local emperor of most of the capital, and the troupe, storytellers, and jugglers he summoned were all famous top actors in the capital.
Yuzhu sat in the middle, Sun Chengyun and Zhao Donghe were separated on the left and right, and Lin Zhangshun sat in the lower seat next to the door.
Lin Yan'er was not qualified to sit down, so she could only hold the pot and serve the wine.
While everyone was eating and chatting, Yuzhu deliberately drank some wine from Lin Zhangshun, and while he was red-faced and about eighty percent drunk, he asked some more questions.
In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half passed, and the host and guest parted happily.
(ps: The next chapter is about another big show. The monthly tickets are a bit low, so I dropped from the 90th place.)
