Feng Ziying's face became solemn, and she pondered for a while before she said slowly: "You want to get involved in Kaihai and sea trade?" ”

"Kaihai and Haimao are the hottest now, and they are all talking about it, but what to do and what they can do, everyone doesn't know in their hearts." Xue Zhen shook his head, "My sister and I followed our father to Guangzhou when we were a few years old, and we have seen Fanshang Yishang, and we have also seen the sea ships of the Francophone people, and I feel that their ships should be more suitable for long-distance voyages than our ships in Dazhou, our ships in Dazhou are not bad for cargo, but they are more suitable for offshore ,......."

Xue Zhen's words made Feng Ziying's eyes light up, he didn't expect Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin to actually run through Liangguang, have seen Yishang and Fanshang, and actually understand ships, this is not simple.

"Brother Tadder, do you know boats? Sailing? ”

Xue Zhen shook his head honestly, "I don't understand, but the junior brother knows that the masts and sails of the sea ships of the Franc machine are different from those of our Great Zhou, and there are more sailors, they come from Luzon, Japan or Manraka, but the speed of the ship is much faster than our ,...... of Great Zhou."

"Then what did you mean when you just said that you didn't want to take over Feng Runxiang?" Feng Ziying asked.

"Brother Feng, the man's ambition is in all directions, my father has run a lot of places in his life, but our Xue family's business is still not much better, I have also pondered this year, I always feel that I still do it in the original industry, it is not interesting, I want to go out and break through, do a new job, I have never been in contact with it before, they all said that the sea trade was proposed by Brother Feng, and the younger brother believes that Brother Feng must have some different ideas for such a strategy, so the younger brother wants Brother Feng to show the younger brother a way, So that the little brother can realize his long-cherished wish,......"

Xue Zhen's words made Feng Ziying feel a little, it seems that Xue Jun's death and the decline of the Xue family still gave Xue Zhen a lot of stimulation, and also gave this young man a more ambitious ambition.

He thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Brother Tad, the opening of the sea is indeed a big game of chess, what will it look like, even I, the initiator, can not predict, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, but the opposition is as big, the key is what the opening of the sea will bring to the Great Zhou, we are still not sure, such as the sea trade, shipbuilding, naval fleet involved in the opening of the sea, and even how our Great Zhou will look at our surroundings in the future, well, including how our Great Zhou will deal with the Xiyi people in the future, this is all needed to be explored slowly." ”

Xue Zhen also listened very carefully, he knew that the eldest brother in front of him was the initiator of the storm that opened the sea in Jiangnan, and even he admitted it.

At present, Jinling City and even Nanzhili talk about the opening of the sea the most, which involves the interests of the entire Jiangnan gentry and merchants, but everyone is happy, but it is confusing where to earn silver after the opening of the sea.

In addition to sea trade, where else can you start?

This is probably the answer that many people want to hear.

After thinking about it carefully, Feng Ziying thought of how to arrange for Xue Zhen in the next step, since Xue Zhen is interested in opening the sea, or opening up his own path from the sea, it can be used.

"Brother Tadpole, I went south this time, of course, I have some plans of the imperial court, and I myself am also very optimistic about the changes brought about by the opening of the sea in the future, and I may let a few people start to help me do things in the next step, mainly to collect and study the industrial livelihood involved in the strategy of opening the sea, not to tell you, this is also what the cabinet is currently considering, but I myself plan to do experiments and breakthroughs in some industrial livelihoods, well, including my cousin in Linqing has also made some preparations, if you keep filial piety expire in the next year, When the time comes, you might as well come over to open your eyes first, gain a long insight, and lay a good foundation for yourself to go alone in the future,......"

Feng Ziying's words made Xue Zhen overjoyed, and quickly got up and bowed deeply to thank him: "Thank you, Brother Feng, this is exactly what the little brother is looking forward to the most, little brother ......"

"It doesn't have to be like this, between you and my brothers, why be so polite?" Feng Ziying waved her hand.

He is very optimistic about Xue Zhen, but he can't help the seedlings, everyone needs a process to grow and mature, except for himself, of course.

Although Xue Zhen seems to be smart and willing to learn, he is too young, if you want to say that you will be able to take charge or go alone immediately if you let it go, Feng Ziying doesn't believe it.

If you give him three or five years to follow Wang Wenyan and them to open their eyes and gain knowledge, and then show him the way and let him give it a try, he may be able to make a difference.

"But Brother Tadder, you will be sixteen next year, and it is time to think about marriage, and my aunt asked me to find a suitable family for you before, and I am also wondering which woman in this Jingshi City is worthy of Brother Tadpole,......"

One sentence made Xue Zhen a little shy, this is also a big deal, and even the top priority in front of the second room of the Xue family at the moment.

Before Xue Jun died of illness, one of the most important contents of Tuogu was the marriage between Xue Zhen and Xue Baoqin.

In Xue Jun's opinion, this even outweighed the Xue family's livelihood problem.

Between son and daughter, of course, Xue Zhen's marriage is far more important than Xue Baoqin.

Xue Baoqin and Mei Zhiye don't know what the marriage contract is now.

Although they were both in the Hanlin Academy, Feng Ziying began to prepare for "Internal Reference" soon after selecting Shu Jishi, and he had little to do with Mei Zhiye, who mainly studied history and made edicts.

And he also learned from Lian Guoshi and Yang Sichang that Mei Zhiye was a person with an excellent face or extremely vain love, and he was not worth befriending, so he didn't care much about it.

Later, he went west to quell the rebellion, and then planned to open the sea, it is said that Mei Zhiye still said sour things in front of Huang Ruliang.

It probably means that he eats radishes salty and worries lightly, eats wild at home, does not do his job, etc., fortunately, Huang Ruliang was not polite and reprimanded him, this guy is afraid that he will be even more unaccustomed to himself.

Xue Baoqin has been pretending to be a lady beside her, maintaining a calm and steady attitude, and when she heard the mention of her brother's marriage, she began to interject: "Brother Feng, my brother's affairs, I still have to ask Brother Feng to worry more, my mother is most concerned about my brother's family affairs, that is, everything else can be put down, but this matter must find a good family,......"

Glancing at this elf-tricky girl, Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I definitely have to take this matter to heart, but it also depends on the intentions of my aunt and your brother, whether it is to find a woman from an official eunuch family, or a lady from a scholarly family, or after Wuxun, this needs to be considered, fortunately, I am not in a hurry, and when I have something to do in Jiangnan, I will go back and think about it carefully." ”

"Then little sister, thank you Brother Feng for bothering." Xue Baoqin also got up and was blessed.

"It's my sister's marriage contract, I don't know if the Mei family has been in contact with your family in the past year?"

Previously, Xue Baoqin's mother did not mention Xue Baoqin's marriage contract, so Feng Ziying didn't ask deeply, but now that only their brothers and sisters are left, Feng Ziying has to ask to understand.

Xue Zhen's face darkened, and he hadn't spoken yet, but Xue Baoqin's face did not change, and he said calmly: "Don't dare to hide it from Brother Feng, in this year, the Mei family has only come to reply once, that is, my father passed away, and we also sent a letter to the Mei family, but the reply is also a month later, and I comforted a few words without saltiness, and then there was no news,......"

"Little sister!" Xue Zhen frowned.

"Brother, what's so bad about this? Brother Feng is not an outsider, he also entrusted him to take care of our family before his father died, and the Mei family is now this attitude, can we still change it? ”

Xue Baoqin's tone was cold, and his face was indifferent, "Brother Feng, you are also in the Hanlin Academy, how is Uncle Mei now, and the situation in his family, have you ever known?" ”

Feng Ziying hesitated for a while, and finally shook her head: "Don't hide it from Brother Tador and Sister Baoqin, Master Mei doesn't have much to do with me, and I don't have any friendship,......

Feng Ziying will not judge anyone at will, after all, Mei Zhiye's family and the Xue family are still married, and there is a great chance that they will become in-laws in the future.

Now it seems that there is something wrong with the Mei family, but it is not a simple matter to get married in these years, and the Mei family, as a person in Shilin, does not dare to regret marriage easily.

It can be said that as long as you don't commit a big rebellious sin, generally speaking, both parties will not easily regret the marriage, and regretting the marriage will be a huge harm to both parties.

Those who take the initiative to regret their marriage must bear the responsibility and pressure of morality and conduct, and the party who regrets their marriage will certainly be sympathetic to public opinion, but it is basically impossible to find a good family affair.

No serious family would be willing to marry a woman who has been divorced, no matter what the reason, because the reputation is not good, and the average family simply cannot afford it.

"What about Uncle Mei's son-in-law, well, that is, the little sister's marriage partner?" Xue Baoqin's tone became more and more calm, and his expression did not change, "Brother Feng should not use other words to fool the little sister, the little sister believes in the things entrusted to Brother Feng by my father, and Brother Feng will not be unsatisfied, if it is not good to evaluate Uncle Mei and Brother Feng because they are colleagues, then his son Brother Feng should have understood, right?" ”

Feng Ziying sighed softly.

The two sisters of the Xue family are outstanding, compared to Baochai, this Baoqin is a little less gentle and generous, but a little more clever and sharp, but they are worthy of being the leading characters in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Many red masters even put Xue Baoqin's evaluation above the twelve hairpins of the Red Mansion, which shows that this woman is extraordinary.

No wonder entering Jiafu will be sought after by so many people, and that Baoyu is even more fascinated, and even Daiyu will be jealous.

"Sister Baoqin, Mei Hanlin's third son is a brother, but he has understood it and passed the Xiucai exam, but he missed twice in the autumn season, let's take a look at the department." Feng Ziying thought for a while before saying: "As for the character or something, I haven't heard anything else, it's just that this third son of Mei likes to drink and feast, and it is said that poetry is good." ”

A touch of dissatisfaction flashed across Baoqin's face, but she suddenly smiled, like a red plum blooming, moving, "Brother Feng, it's that simple?" Isn't it that Brother Feng feels that some words are difficult to speak and do not praise and judge? Isn't Brother Feng afraid of being so secretive and mistaking his little sister's life? ”

Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, can he say that the Mei family's sister-in-law likes male style, is there a ** in the family? As for this Mei Sangongzi, it doesn't seem to be very good, but it's not easy to say when he occasionally plays on the spot.

It's just that in this era, a good male style is really nothing in Jingshi and Jiangnan, and even in high society, it is still a kind of elegance.

Even among the relatives of the Heavenly Family and the princes and princes, there are many people who are good at this, and there are many literati and scholars who take pleasure in it, and there is little criticism.

Of course, for women, this question is more specific, but the key is that Mei Zhiye has three sons in the family, two sons and one concubine, among which the second son likes this style, whether that concubine is so good or not, but it is really not clear, he can't make presumptuous comments.

Just looking at this posture, isn't this girl hearing something?
