Under normal circumstances, Yan Shifan has little patience with people and will just do what he asks you to do. Why are there so many doubts? But Shen Zhi County is different.
After all, in Young Master Yan's plan, Shen Zhi County occupies a key position and is an irreplaceable key figure. He may even be the best candidate to take the blame in the future.
Therefore, Mr. Yan rarely put away his temper and thought of instilling his thoughts into Shen Zhixian County.
But at this moment, a servant of the Yan family suddenly ran over and said that the master was calling Uncle Qing to go home for dinner!
Yan Shifan felt very strange. He had been used to wandering outside since he was a child, and his father was also very indulgent towards him. Why would he specifically call him to come home for dinner?
The servant explained: "Just now, a young scholar named Qin visited the master and sued Mr. Qing severely. The master was a little angry, so he told you to go back."
How could this horse-riding person be so unreasonable? Mr. Yan couldn't help but cursed loudly, "Qin Dewei, a loser, always complains to his parents, what's the use of him!"
Just go back when you go back. Your father must also do a good job in ideological work, so that he will not always interfere with things and hold back things in the future!
When it got dark, Yan Shifan returned to his home in the government office and was complained by his father, Yan Song.
"What's going on with you? I told you before not to get into trouble with Qin Dewei! Qin Dewei and we are both under the wings of the great uncle, how could you do this to one of your own?"
Yan Shifan said disdainfully, "Who is he? What should he have to worry about? He just relied on Feng En at the beginning, and he dared to come to you to beg for mercy under the banner of Uncle Xia Dazong?
Not to mention Qin Dewei, even compared to Feng En, your father's position in Uncle Xia Dazong is much more important! Could it be that Uncle Xia Dazong has any dissatisfaction with you, father, because of Qin Dewei? "
Although Young Master Yan is crazy, these words are indeed correct.
Xia Yan's rise to power was too short, and there were few high-ranking officials among his party members. However, Yan Song was already a third-rank official, a fellow countryman of Xia Yan, and a former Hanyuan Ci official, so his status was naturally different.
Therefore, in Xia Yan's place, Yan Song must be one of the key figures to be supported, and he will only wait for the opportunity to be sent to the ministry after passing the qualifications.
Yan Song frowned and said: "Although I say so, in the eyes of those who follow the rules, your appearance is too ugly! Nanjing is such a big city, why can't you get along with Qin Dewei?"
On the contrary, Yan Shifan said with hatred: "Son, I have told you a long time ago that father, you will only be in the government office for a year or two at most, and then you will probably be promoted to a minister in a certain department in Nanjing to continue to support Wang!
If you don’t seize this time to make money, it will be even more difficult to make money when you become a waiter who only pursues nothing. If you don’t have money, many things will not go so smoothly!
When you go to Beijing for pilgrimage, don't you prepare generous gifts for the cabinet ministers? If there are dignitaries passing through Nanjing, don't you give them heavy gifts?
Unless, father, you have no intention of making progress, then just pretend that your son said nothing!"
When Yan Song heard this, he secretly lamented that his son was thinking too deeply, and it was hard to imagine that these words were spoken by a man of eighteen or nineteen years old.
For officials, the third rank is a very important threshold. Only when you reach the third rank can you be considered a high-ranking official. You can be a governor on the outside and a minister on the inside. Then you can think about being a minister. Those with Hanlin qualifications can start thinking about joining the cabinet.
Originally, Yan Song had always been resentful when he was an official, and had a petty bourgeois temperament due to his unsatisfactory career. However, he did not expect that Xia Yan, a fellow countryman, suddenly rose to prominence in the past year or two, and then made great efforts to help him cross the threshold of the third rank.
Even people who had no ambitions in the past will have their ambitions swell now that they are in this position. Not to mention that Yan Song has been a child prodigy since he was a child, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Yan Song shook his head, put away some distracting thoughts for a while, and said to his son: "But what do you say have to do with Qin Dewei? Could it be that Qin Dewei stopped you?"
Mr. Yan had nothing to hide from his father: "Of course it does! My son, I have carefully investigated and found that in such a metropolis where everyone is free to spend money, lending is the fastest and easiest way to make money.
Dharma door!
Father, you may only be in Nanjing for a few years, and you don’t have time to run a long-term business, so lending is the most suitable option!
Moreover, last year the county government purged all the local lending gangs, and now no one is doing business in this area, so it’s a perfect time to enter the market!”
After hearing this, Yan Song still didn't realize that it had anything to do with Qin Dewei, but he was very patient with his son and motioned to continue.
"To do this kind of thing, banks must be needed to gather funds and use it as a cover to cover us up, but now Jiangning County cannot afford to open new banks!
After Yuanfenghao Bank expanded its shares last year, it is said that its capital alone is more than fifteen thousand taels, and it can control book funds as high as thirty thousand.
Not to mention that the Qianye Guild exists in name only, and other banks are looking at Yuanfenghao. Therefore, on the ground in Jiangning County, the Qianye industry has no room for latecomers to join."
Yan Song always thought that his son was just fooling around, or was vindictive. After hearing this, he gradually became serious. From these thoughts, it can be seen that his son is probably serious about it.
"In addition, last year, Qin Dewei made a big killing spree in order to crack down on the Hui people's banks. People in the streets were talking about the extermination of elementary school students, and the loan gangs were swept away.
The impact still exists, and the remaining members of the lending gang have not dared to return to their old business. If Qin Dewei is attacked, I am afraid not many people will dare to do lending with us."
Yan Song didn't care what Yan Shifan thought of Qin Dewei for the time being. Instead, he asked about other details: "If you want to be so big, where will the capital come from?"
Yan Shifan confidently said: "We also have Jiangyou merchant gangs in Jiangxi, and they have been suppressed by the Hui people in Nanjing. I have also met some people in the past half month, and I can borrow a few thousand taels from them."
Yan Song asked again: "Where are the manpower? How can you, a migrant, catch local people? And you can't do many things yourself, right?"
Yan Shifan is still very resourceful: "First, let the government arrest department arrest a group of street gangs and then integrate them. Second, the Nancheng Army and Horse Division was purged the year before last, but most of the low-level archers and officers are still in Nanjing, so we can integrate them."
If approved, these people should be relatively reliable."
Yan Song thought about it for a moment and felt that what his son said was completely feasible.
People in Nanjing say that the primary school student is half prodigy and half demon child, and his own son is not bad either, he is just four or five years older than the primary school student.
There's no harm in giving it a try. Anyway, it's your own son who will step in. Let the young people fight, and just stay out of it and wait for the result.
If Qin Dewei is dealt with by his own son, and he can be a good person and save his life, then he can be justified.
