The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 292 Xue Gao

Lin Hai shook his head, "This old lady Jia doesn't know whether she loves him or hurts him." If Jia's mother hadn't made up such a thing, maybe there wouldn't be so many things!

"Who can explain this clearly, but I just know that nephew Chang should be more careful." Lin Ze said with a look of disdain, shaking the scribe's pretending fan.

"The Jia family hasn't given up yet!" Lin Hai said in surprise.

"Give up, why die!" Lin Ze was also surprised at this moment!

By the way, Lin Chang didn't tell many people about Lin Daiyu's reputation, Lin Hai quickly said to Lin Ze: "Not yet, about the daughter born to Lin Jia, listen to Lin Chang, wait for Lin Hai After Jia's death, Jia's family sent someone to Qinghe County to pick her up, saying that Mrs. Jia was very sad when she heard the news of her daughter's death, and wanted her granddaughter to be filial to her.

In the end, this matter was rejected by Lin Chang. How could he put his own daughter in her natal family to raise her when her father was still there, and it's not like my Lin family is empty!

In the end, the old Mrs. Jia resorted to another plan after failing to make a plan, using the name of the dead Lin Jia to make a marriage between Mr. Hanyu and Lin Jia's daughter. Lin Chang's treasure is not as precious as his. Now that I have a daughter, how can I choose someone like this who has no future for her? Naturally, I refused again!So I am the Jia family and I have not given up! "

Now that Lin Ze has the information, he is naturally much more informed than many people. Hearing Lin Hai's words, he said playfully, "If I were the Jia family, I would not give up. Now who doesn't know that the Jia family only has a showy I heard that the old lady Jia looked down on the big house very much, but now the big house is beautiful! The old lady Jia still helped the second room to stand up.

Although Lin Chang married another wife, his daughter still has the blood of the Jia family after all. If Mrs. Jia used this banner, Lin Chang would have nothing to do with her. If he can let Mr. Hanyu marry Lin Chang Jia's daughter is a close relative, so Lin Chang is still trying her best to help her son-in-law!According to Mrs. Jia's clever nature, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be worked out. "

Anyway, Lin Ze didn't believe that they would easily let relatives like the Lin family go.

"Have you told Lin Chang about this news?" Lin Hai and Lin Ze are of the same generation and belong to the same clan, so they should be more convenient and casual when they say anything.

"I just received the news that the Jia family sent people to the south of the Yangtze River again. I guess I will go to Lin Chang's, so the news has already passed!" Lin Ze was not very optimistic back then, Lin Chang The marriage with Jia Min was just because the patriarch said that one should not be dishonest, and it was true that Jia Daishan saved the Lin family, so everyone did not object on the surface, but in fact they were not optimistic about this marriage.

Looking at it now, the vision of these people is quite good. Sure enough, this marriage is not serious, but these are all afterthoughts, and Jia Min has passed away. It is meaningless to talk about these!

Suddenly Lin Ze seemed to think of something, "I forgot to tell you one more thing. The Xue Gao (the father of Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin) you asked me to investigate is now on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and he will be here soon." We are going to pass through Yangzhou!"

"Oh!" Lin Hai was a little happy that he found Xue Gao so quickly!

To say that Xue Gao is also a capable person in the Xue family, according to the original book, Aunt Xue revealed the situation of Xue Gao's family: "His father (Xue Gao) is very happy, because there are business everywhere. , I took my family to visit this province for a year, and next year I will go to that province for half a year, so five or six of the ten stops in the world."

But in the fourth chapter, when Xue Pan’s family was introduced, he didn’t mention that he had an uncle, and the status of the Xue family’s royal merchant was directly inherited from his father: “Although he is an imperial merchant, Yiying I don't know anything about the brokerage, but relying on my grandfather's old friendship, the household department pays money and food in a false name, and the rest of the affairs are handled by my own clerks and old family members." There is also: "Since the death of Xue Pan's father, all the people in the provinces Seeing that Xue Pan was young and ignorant of worldly affairs, the business management bureau, manager, and other staff took advantage of the opportunity to abduct Xue Pan, and several businesses in the capital also saw consumption." It can be seen that Xue's family had already separated as early as Xue Xun Xue Gao However, Xue Xun has inherited all the shops in Beijing and the status of the imperial merchant, while Xue Gao has inherited the duties of a merchant—traveling around the world, buying and selling everywhere, it can be seen that there are no fixed shops, similar to ordinary merchants.

However, Xue Gao is different from ordinary merchants. The "Xihaiyanzishang" and "Communication Officer" revealed in the second chapter of the original work are all merchants who specialize in searching for rare and exotic goods.It can be seen that Xue Gao is not an ordinary businessman, although he travels around the world, he is also capable of bringing overseas treasures back to Fengchao.

Lin Hai went to Xue Gao for no reason, but for the business background of the Xue family.

Business background?

This thing sounds a bit inexplicable-, but just like interpersonal relationships, you must first establish a good relationship in everything you do. This is the same in business.The Lin family in Suzhou has people who specialize in business, and some of them go overseas to do business, but these have nothing to do with Lin Hai, and Lin Hai is too embarrassed to take these things!

But everyone knows how profitable the trade between the East and the West is, and the status of merchants in the Feng Dynasty has also improved compared to the previous dynasty. Therefore, business is actually developing very vigorously. Of course, such things as collusion between government and businessmen are also indispensable.

When the sea trade was on the rise, some daring ones even sent their business to Europe.

The Lin family also had two ships joining the ocean-going fleet. Fortunately, they did not encounter too strong winds and waves. Although some silks were submerged in water, even if this was the case, they were sold at a good price in Europe. Made a fortune.

But this matter has nothing to do with Lin Hai's affairs!Lin Hai is also very greedy for this East-West sea trade transaction, no one would think too much money, but he doesn't want to take the lead of the Lin family in Suzhou, so he can only think of Xue Gao!

Who said that enemies cannot become friends? When there are enough interests, enemies of life and death can be turned into friendship!

Moreover, Lin Hai still thinks highly of Xue Gao. In fact, the members of the four major families are all from the younger generations. The current managers are quite capable, such as: Wang Ziteng, Xue Xun...

Lin Hai dared to use Xue Gao because Xue Gao and Xue Xun were dirty and ambitious.More importantly, Lin Hai dared to use his own head to guarantee that Xue Gao's spy work of the General Secretary of the Xue family would definitely not be with Xue Gao, otherwise the Wang family and the Zhen family would not let it go.

If Xue Gao held the Secretary of General Administration in his hand, Lin Hai swore that he would never provoke Xue Gao, just like Xue Xun, even though Xue Xun had shown his kindness to Lin Hai several times, Lin Hai just pretended to be blind and didn't see.

The filthiness of Xue Gao and Xue Xun is simple to say, both of them are the sons of the master of the Xue family, Xue Xun married the daughter of the Wang family back then, but now Xue Gao married the daughter of an ordinary family.This made Xue Gao feel unfair, they are all the same sons, why the difference in marriage is so big.After the master of the Xue family passed away, Xue Xun separated from Xue Gao under the wind of Aunt Xue's pillow!

Originally, it was nothing to separate the family. After all, the old people in the family had passed away, so they didn’t want to divide the family. However, Xue Xun divided the family according to the three to seven points, and the master of the Xue family’s will made the two brothers split fifty to five. , so the two had a big fight, if not for the reputation of the Xue family, Xue Xun and Xue Gao wanted to break up their friendship!

In the end, Xue Xun relied on the influence of the Wang family to overwhelm Xue Gao, and the family property was divided into three or seven points. This made Xue Gao very dissatisfied with Xue Xun, otherwise he would not be a businessman. After all, Xue's family is in Jinling. Still a little face.

As far as Xue Gao is concerned, he sees it farther than Xue Xun. In the original book, Xue Bian has read a lot of books. According to him, he wanted to take the imperial examination back then, but his talent was limited, so he barely passed. After the county examination, he failed repeatedly, and finally gave up this thought and concentrated on helping the elders take care of the family business.

It can be seen that Xue Gao sees farther than Xue Xun on the issue of educating future generations. Merchants are always businessmen, and imperial merchants are also merchants. Therefore, Xue Gao knows that to change the composition of the family, he must let the future generations make progress. The only way to make progress in this era is to Reading and taking the imperial examination.

Lin Hai valued Xue Gao's point. Since he has ambitions and wants to make his descendants change from the last one in "Scholar, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce" to the first one, then Lin Hai has a way to deal with him.

In Jiangnan, the reputation of the Lin family is undisputed, it definitely belongs to a famous family, and although they don't show wealth on the surface, they can read!In the past few years, I can always hear that someone from the Lin family has been selected as a scholar, someone has become a juren, and there are dozens of officials outside. Although they are not very big, they still have the support of the capital. !It's really solid.

The key is that Lin Hai still has his trump card, which is the Lin family's school. The Lin family has many relatives, but the Lin family's school is only open to the Lin family's children. No matter how envious others are, it's okay.Don't care what banner you are playing, anyway, you are not a child of the Lin family, so you are wanted to study in it.

If Xue Gao or the clan doesn’t agree, it doesn’t matter, Lin Hai can still fight in person, Tanhua, the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, who passed the examination of the Six Arts Academy, is afraid that he won’t be able to hand over a Xue Biao, even if Xue Biao is a big idiot, Without the talent for reading, as long as Lin Hai is still in the south of the Yangtze River as the patrolling censor, he will also have a way to give Xue Biao some activities and make a juren!

Lin Hai still doesn't believe it anymore, Xue Gao is still not satisfied with such conditions.

For merchants, having a Juren in their home is already quite remarkable!
