The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 289

Zhen Yingjia's calculations were very good. In front of so many people, if this happened, Lin Hai would have to admit it, but Lin Hai was not bad either. He managed the timing just right. He just dodged and let Zhen Yingjia, who was walking behind him, No response.

This has now become Zhen Yingjia's embarrassment. Anyway, when Zhen Yingjia finally left, the Lin family packed Miss Gu's family to Zhen Yingjia. As for how he will deal with it when he goes back, it has nothing to do with the Lin family's business, and the left and right are not real relatives of the Lin family.

It was only on the third day after Lin Chang's wedding that Lin Hai left. When he arrived in Yangzhou, a shocking news came. The current head of the Xue family, Xue Xun, was assassinated to death!

Xue's family is just an imperial merchant, and they can't make any waves in the south of the Yangtze River.But as we all know, the current mistress of the Xue family is the daughter of the Wang family, and also the granddaughter of the Zhen family. As soon as this relationship came out, Xue Xun's death was covered with a veil, so hazy that people couldn't see clearly. up!

Others were surprised by the news, but Lin Hai didn't react at all. He wasn't shocked, but he was already mentally prepared. Sometimes he even thought, why is Xue Xun still alive?

When the news reached Yangzhou, Lin Hai cared differently. Everyone was concerned about Xue Xun's death and how the Zhen family would react in the future. The grandson-in-law of the family, this is simply a blatant slap in the face of the Zhen family.

Cough, cough, Lin Hai's face is unconsciously slapping the Zhen family.

If you want to say what Lin Hai cares about, everyone can't tell the difference. What Lin Hai cares about is the money of the Xue family, the Zhuangzi and the shop of the Xue family...

In other words, when Lin Hai knew that Xue Xun was not finished yet, he had this plan in his heart, anyway, the Xue family would be finished sooner or later.Since the Xue family's money was given to the Jia and Zhen families, it might as well be cheaper for the Lin family!

All right!This is a bit shameless.

Robbing other people's property, and still speaking so righteously.

Lin Hai originally just sent some people to take advantage of the chaos when Xue Xun died.Fishing in troubled waters a few times, I didn't expect the timing of Xue Xun's death to be so good. Zhen Yingjia hadn't returned to Jinling when he died.

To say that Xue Xun itself is not bad.But it's a pity, marrying the daughter of the Wang family and becoming the purse of the Zhen family, the Xue family is undefeated.That's weird!

What Xue Xun has done for so many years is only for the Xue family to get rid of the word "business"!It's a pity that he didn't understand the wealth and future of the Xue family until he died.It's not about whether the prince can win the throne.It's about whether the children in your own family are successful.Even if the one really got that position, the Xue family is just a businessman, at best, the business between the Xue family and the royal family will be bigger.

But it can never escape the word 'business'.

After silently mourning for Xue Xun for three seconds, Lin Hai happily looked at the list in his hand. It was a list sent from Jinling, and it said that it was good to fish in troubled waters when Xue Xun died this time. thing.

Lin Hai looked at the list.Immediately laughed, this good guy, this Xue Xun died really well!

There are two farms in Jinling with one hundred hectares, and four with fifty hectares. This is [-] mu of fertile land!

And when you get it, it's still 8% of the price, so what's the concept?That is, the price of 4000 acres of land can buy [-] acres of land, can you not laugh?Let's do the math, four taels of silver per mu of land, [-] mu, is [-] taels, but in reality, the Lin family only needs to pay [-] taels, how cost-effective?

There are also shops, although there are only two, but it depends on where they are, they are in Antique Street, one of the most valuable streets in Jinling, and they are all big shops with three bays and three floors. A shop costs at least 1 taels, and two shops cost 6000, but now!Only [-] taels!Can you not laugh?

There are also houses with three entrances and three exits, and three houses with gardens. Needless to say, they are all the outer courtyards of the Xue family.How nice!

It only costs more than 3 yuan, and you can directly buy a family property worth more than [-] yuan. Can Lin Hai be unhappy!Although it is in Jinling, if it is not guaranteed, some of the Lin family's aunts will marry to Jinling in the future, so Lin Hai doesn't think there is anything wrong with spending money on it, even if he doesn't use it, and sell it, it will be three times the profit , Lin Hai won't think too many of these transactions.

But just in case, Lin Hai decided not to move these things now. It is too obvious to move these things now. After the Xue family goes to Beijing and the Zhen family is finished, it will only take three or four years to move these things. For safety's sake For the sake of it, Lin Hai can still afford to wait for this little time,

However, he can also see from it that after Xue Xun's death, there are probably a lot of people who robbed the family property, otherwise it would not be so. The Xue family is now at its peak, although there are two behind him, the Tenth Prince and the Zhen family. There is a blood-sucking worm, but the money required for these two places is not particularly large.As for the Xue family, which has won the protection of the Zhen family, this business will definitely grow even bigger. It is impossible for the Xue family to fish in troubled waters and only touch such a small amount.

Lin Hai rubbed his chin, so it seems that the Zhen family in Jinling is not the only one, at least there are still people who are not afraid of the Zhen family, so his plan may have to be changed!

At this time, the Xue family didn't know that someone in the distance was plotting against them, but as soon as Xue Xun died, the Xue family immediately fell into chaos.

By the way, Royal Merchant?What is an imperial merchant?

In the early days when the dynasty was just established, wars were frequent and the court's food and payment supply was insufficient, so it would use the power of merchants to get their support and give them a certain degree of benefits.During the war, they were responsible for transporting food and grass for the royal supervision of making weapons.

After the political situation stabilized slightly, relying on their previous image, they had closer contact with the imperial court, such as purchasing materials for the imperial court, such as timber for palace construction, clothes weaving for the emperor's harem, small court flower and tree planting, women's Rouge gouache, although the thing is small, but the quantity is large, and the treatment is generous.

Therefore, Huangshang can be regarded as a very good job, which is equivalent to the company department in charge of government procurement.However, the relationship between the imperial merchants and the imperial court is too close, and it affects the whole body, just like the original book said: "One damages all damages, one prospers all prospers."As a businessman closely related to the imperial court, the imperial merchants were easily involved in the struggles of the imperial court factions.

However, the business of the royal merchant Xue’s family is different from other families. It is not exclusive to Xue Xun’s branch, but everyone puts their money together in one place. Silver, dividends according to interest.It's just that Xue Xun, the leader, is dead now, so the Xue family has entered a very strange situation.

Xue Pan is well known to everyone, and is known as the dumb king.Such a person, who only knows how to spend time and drink, and let go of the eagle and let the dog go, how can he know the word business.The people of the clan were dissatisfied, but Aunt Xue relied on the power of her natal brothers and sisters to hold on to the title of the imperial merchant, so the Xue clan couldn't do anything against him for a while?However, there was such a leader who was wise enough to withdraw the shares, get back the principal, and start his own business. Of course, most of the people still followed the ancestors.

This is easy to say, but difficult to do. After Xue Xun was buried, the Xue family copied it from top to bottom!The Zhen family naturally didn't want the Xue family to disperse, but they also didn't want the name of the imperial merchant to be given to other houses.

If the Xue family fell apart, where would the Zhen family find another such a good money bag!If it was given to other houses, the relationship between the Xue family and the Zhen family would not be so close. It is still unclear whether they will support the Zhen family like Xue Xun.

Now is not the time to do fierce battles, but Concubine Zhen De and the ten princes ask for a lot of money every year. With the old bottom of the Zhen family that has been hollowed out, how can they support the consumption of these two people? , It is simply a bottomless pit, and it is not easy to find the money bag of the Xue family, so the Zhen family will not be willing to give up!

But people want to take their own principal. Although the Zhen family can threaten behind them, they can't stop it on the surface. Therefore, the Xue family has dispersed a lot, and nearly one-third of them have got their principal back. Kim, get ready to go about your own business!

Among them is the father of Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, who is as powerful as Xue Xun.

He was able to marry Mei Hanlin under the name of the second wife of the Xue family (both the imperial merchant and the eyeliner were on the side of the big house, Xue Xun), and that alone should not be underestimated.The ancient literati valued their reputation the most. How could it be possible for a Hanlin to agree to their son marrying a merchant's daughter if they had no skills.

Moreover, it is clearly written in the original book that Xue Biao's father had run the family property for many years, but died young, but left behind a lot of family property.

Lin Hai said that he should focus on this person. Xue Biao's father can be regarded as the most capable person in the Xue family who appeared in the original book.

Among other things, his daughter Xue Baoqin has long been betrothed to Mei Hanlin's son, so there is a passage in the book "White Snow and Red Plum Blossoms in the Glazed World", which says that Baoqin "stands on the hillside in a long-haired fur coat and waits, with a girl behind her." Hugging a bottle of red plums" "It's like the picture of double beauty painted by Qiu Shizhou hanging in the old lady's house", but "Where does this painting have this dress, people can't be so good".The implication of the homonym here is very obvious.

The "xue" of Xue Baoqin is exactly the "snow" of Baixue, and the "plum" of Mei Hanlin is the "plum" of red plum. "White snow and red plums in the world of colored glaze" is also a kind of "quotation".

Therefore, we can understand why Baoqin's kite is a "big red bat" when the original book writes about flying a kite. "Bat" is a symbol of auspiciousness and means "partial blessing".

And this fate is lucky, her father earned it for her, otherwise, how capable she would be as a woman.Lin Daiyu is still the only daughter of the Xunyan Yushi, it's the end of the difference!
