"Ziying, I think I can do it to support the clan study private school, but I need to do what I can." Feng Tang couldn't bear to hit his son's enthusiasm, and it was already very gratifying for Feng Tang to think of such a distance.

"You may not know the situation of our family, whether we can support such a large expenditure, you have to consider it carefully, in addition, you said that it is no problem to support poor students to study, but our family makes a living, and also supports them to practice medicine as officials, is this appropriate?"

Feng Ziying's last proposal was a bit rare, and Feng Tang also felt that it didn't seem to be in line with the current popular practice.

Now that the gentry want to expand their influence and enhance their reputation, they all support scholars, how can they support other livelihoods?

Well, it is barely reasonable to recruit people for their own family's livelihood, and they must be limited to the Feng family, but I have never heard of it as a doctor.

Although it cannot be said that it is a cheap profession to be a doctor, it is certainly not something to boast about, and it is too far worse than a scholar, and it is difficult to be praised by outsiders.

"Father, that's not the case, you have also noticed that the situation is a little different now and before, many places, especially at the state and county levels, are actually controlled by officials, the imperial court originally had a system of observing government affairs, but finally due to various drawbacks and stopped from time to time, resulting in the later Jinshi Juren and the supervisors did not understand government affairs after the official award, either relied on the shogunate, or were controlled by the officials, and many Jinshi Juren supervisors were unwilling to be familiar with government affairs for the sake of face, and would rather entrust it to others, and the result would not be asked."

Feng Ziying paused, "The officials are familiar with the local situation, if they are familiar with government affairs, then if they are loyal to the country, they can help the officials, if they are confined to selfish interests and have a loss of virtue, they will become cunning officials and harm one party, but in any case, the role of this official is becoming more and more important, if it is difficult to achieve something in study, you might as well cultivate it, it is also a great merit, and those who practice medicine are also in this category, so the son thinks that it can be handled according to the classification of things." ”

Feng Ziying's words were reasonable, so that Feng Tang couldn't find a place to refute, this was indeed a good way to enhance the influence and discourse power of the Feng family in Linqing and even Dongchang Mansion, but ......

After a while, Feng Tang sighed with both satisfaction and some annoyance: "Brother Cong, but have you calculated how much our Feng family will spend every year by doing this?" ”

"Father, the son knows, so the son said to the mother, we need to open source, this time the son returned to Linqing, aware that the business of Linqing is flourishing, although there is the influence of tax supervision, but the son thinks that after the civil unrest, the imperial court may be more cautious in tax supervision, in addition to Linqing, the neighboring Dongchang Mansion, Dezhou and Jining are prosperous places of commerce and trade along the canal, and the urban population is increasing, which also brings all kinds of needs, so the son thinks that we can use the influence of the Feng family to make a living in Linqing, Liaocheng and even Jining and Dezhou，……”

Feng Ziying made an introduction to some of her ideas and the situation of Xue Jun of the Xue family in Jinling, and Feng Tang was also a little moved.

The Xue family is an imperial businessman, but Xue Jun is the second room of the Xue family.

Although it is not a side branch, but in the case that his eldest brother has a son, and his sister-in-law is the daughter of the Wang family, the second room where Xue Jun is located is not very special, which can be seen from the separation of the two rooms of the Xue family.

In this case, the cooperation between the Feng family and Xue Jun is a very feasible idea.

The Xue family has funds, technicians, and brand reputation, and the Feng family has a reputation, influence and connections in Shandong, and the gold and silver jewelry industry in the north itself follows the trend of the south of the Yangtze River, so this cooperation can be called a match made in heaven.

"The specific strategy, we have to wait for the Xue family to agree before we come to discuss it." Feng Ziying made a conclusion, "But I think this is very suitable, if the management is done properly, this Fengrunxiang can develop along the canal in the future, and it is not impossible to take root in Jingshi in the future." ”

I have to say that this last sentence is the most moving, if the cooperation between Feng Runxiang of the Xue family and the Feng family can finally go deep into the Jingshi to prove it, it will undoubtedly be a big boost to the influence of the Feng family, and it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things in the future.

"If the Xue family agrees to cooperate, how much money do you think we need to come up with to start it?" That's the key.

"I'm afraid it will take 350,000 silver to open at the initial stage, and it's simple just to Linqing, but if you want to gradually open it in Jinan, Dezhou, Jinan, Jining and even Dongchang Mansion, it will not be easy." Feng Ziying said as she observed her parents' expressions.

Seeing that the parents frowned slightly, but they did not categorically deny it, which shows that the family may be able to get this money, but it must be more difficult.

"Father, this matter is still only in the planning and discussion stage, even if our family is interested, we have to wait until the Xue family has a move." Feng Ziying further said.

"Well, this matter is here for the time being, and we will talk about it when the Xue family comes to the door." Feng Tang made a final decision, "But the things over there in Linqing can indeed be done first, Ziying is right about this, I originally had some inattention to it, how to do it, and then we will discuss it." ”

"By the way, Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion personally came to deliver the post before, maybe he thanked you on behalf of his father, you take the time to go back and worship, don't make it feel like our Feng family is a person who lacks courtesy." Feng Tang said as if he remembered something.

"Oh? Second Brother Lian is gone? Feng Ziying was slightly taken aback.

"Well, let's go, I just came over and met Feng Gan to report, so I went to see you, I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, and talked to him for a while, saying that his father and uncle are very grateful to you for your actions in Linqing, and Shi Lao Taijun also made a special speech, and praised you, saying that I want to thank you well, I said that we are all good families, and we must do our best to help in this case, don't worry." Feng Tang wiped his chin and looked very happy.

The relationship between the Jia family and the Feng family is quite close, but he was in Datong a few years ago, and he was busy planning a recovery when he just came back in the past two years, so he moved a little less, and his identity was not good to go to the Jia family too much.

It's just right for his son's identity and age to move around more, especially now when the in-laws of the Jia family, the prince, are in full swing, and sometimes this relationship can really play a role.

"Then the son will take the time to come over." Feng Ziying is also slowly adapting to the circle of the capital.

I didn't care if I was too young at the same time, but after returning to the capital, I would be a person who was thirteen years old, and basically I should move around.

Xungui is the basic background of the Feng family, and it is impossible to get out of this circle, for now, unless he can be admitted to the Jinshi, and he can quickly make a name for himself, reach the heavens, or have other special opportunities, he will only be regarded as a nobleman, and it is difficult to be accepted by the civil and official groups.
