Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it seemed to be the case in her own house.

Daddy never cares about such daily expenses, which is also a normal situation in this era.

The family is all run by the old lady, and there are three aunts, one assists the old lady in managing the harvest affairs in the village outside the city, and the other assists the old lady in managing the rent collection of several shops in the capital.

The other aunt is her real aunt, her mother's cousin, and she is in charge of the daily affairs of the house for her mother, but some of the livelihoods in Datong Mansion are the old lady's own questions, and a maiden cousin is responsible for running for the old lady.

After tasting it slowly, Feng Ziying realized that it seemed that this era was like this, no official or military attaché, just relying on that little money to support his family, and if he wanted to live a comfortable life, he had to have some of his own livelihood.

For officials, the safest thing is to buy land in their hometown, with hundreds of acres of high-quality paddy fields, they can support a not too big official family to make a living.

If you want to live a more nourishing life, in addition to this property, you will inevitably have to run some other businesses.

Elegant, bookstores, ink, antique shops, or buy some shops to collect rent, if you don't pay attention to anything, you can do anything, money bank, gold and silver shop, leather shop, south goods shop, cloth village, silk village, medicine shop, are all officials often run the business, shipping, carriage and horse dealers, restaurants also have many officials to take a half-concealed way to buy shares.

Of course, such as pawnshops, loans, etc., are not in the stream, and it is inevitable that there will be some entanglements, and it is easy to have a bad reputation.

The Feng family has several Zhuangzi in Wanping County, about more than 1,000 acres of land, and hundreds of acres of land in Datong, and there is also a gold and silver shop and a crude medicine shop in Datong City. There are also 200 acres of land in Linqing, but Linqing is entrusted to Fu Bo and his family to manage, and arranges for people to collect rent and bring some local products back once a year.

"In that case, then I will go back to my mother, and I will make a claim here, and let Faber do it first." Feng Ziying thought about it for a while, but still felt that it was rare to come here, and there were some things that needed to be arranged.

In fact, after experiencing such a turmoil, Feng Ziying has realized some things, and many concepts and consciousness of being an official in her previous life cannot be brought into this time and space.

To put it mildly, if you go to send a name, you have to give Menzi a red envelope, whether it is half a hanging money, a golden melon seed, or half a ingot of silver, you have to make a point, otherwise maybe your name will be pressed to the bottom, and you will not be able to achieve your purpose.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, this sentence is really not blown, and the threshold of the governor in this place is the same.

If you don't have a friendship and want to go to the door, you don't have a little bit to do, so you can wait for the meal, maybe when the time comes, it's a sentence that the old man is tired of resting, and I'm not seeing a guest, so please be early tomorrow.

If Qiao Yingjia's entourage confiscated his ingot of silver, he would not help himself mention that he was Lin Ruhai's "son-in-law", if the famous post he sent was not carefully crafted and eye-catching, then Qiao Yingjia would have seen it if he didn't see it, and he wouldn't be too lazy to see it.

These years are so exquisite, like Li Sancai, even if he handed over a red envelope, people also accepted it, as for whether the name card was delivered, you don't know, or it was delivered, the identity is too inconspicuous, people directly threw it at the bottom, and Li Sancai didn't even see it.

Since you can't get rid of this environment, then you have to learn to adapt, only after adapting and being like a fish in water, you can really integrate, and if you want to change the rules and environment, then please first survive and grow in this rule and environment, and then reach a certain level and strength.

This round of twists and turns seems to have been passed by himself, but thinking back to the hardships and dangers when he went out of the city, the fear of facing the mastiff when he crossed Ren Yuan, the danger when he was intercepted by the grain gang, and the accident when he was rejected by Li Sancai when he thought he would win, if it weren't for some "misunderstandings" brought about by Jinyiwei's intervention at the right time, it's really hard to say whether this turmoil would have ended so easily.

Passively facing all these unknown risks has never been Feng Ziying's character, in his previous life, when he was an official, he never sat back and waited, he always took the initiative to attack, and he had to go on without conditions to create conditions, there are so many opportunities, if you don't want to compete, I really think that the official hat will fall on your head, you think too much.

Because of this, Feng Ziying realized that it was the same in this time and space, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and moving forward in the official career, and she may not be able to reach it for the time being because of her age, but the original view that she just wanted to be a fool can be dispelled after experiencing this time.

In these years, if you don't have strength, you have to have a background, if you have neither strength nor background, then it will be difficult for you to mix well.

When something happens, every second can put you in danger.

As Zuo Liangyu said, the famous giant in Linqing City, the old man of the Xi family, wanted to enter the inner city to hide during the civil unrest, but the old lady of the Zhou family and his family wanted to enter the city to take refuge, so he was allowed.

Without him, the Zhou family is a local authentic gentry family, two of the brothers are still officials, and one of the two grandchildren has been admitted to the township examination.

There is also a talent who has already won the show, and it is said that he is also talented, and he may also be a Jinshi material.

There is almost no suspense that such a family will continue to prosper in the past few decades, and it is unknown when it may enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and no matter which local officials dare not offend easily.

It's not so easy to be a good official, just like Jia Yucun, others only see him greedy, but why is he greedy?

A poor family like him was admitted to the Jinshi, and after the official award, he should have been proud, but the official is not so easy to be.

Every year, the filial piety of the official holidays on the road, the entertainment between colleagues in the same department in the same year, the visit of the master of the house for the New Year's holidays, people can not be reached, can you not get letters and festivals?

This chief of staff has a lot of them, and you have to pay for them out of your own pocket, and the court doesn't have this expense for you.

If you marry a wife and take a concubine, and pass on the lineage, you will inevitably have to raise a large family, including the servants who serve them, have you counted these costs?

It is necessary to talk about decency and reputation, how can there be so many good things that have the best of both worlds?

Where do these large expenses come from?

If you don't have a good family background, then you have to find a good livelihood, well, you have to have the capital to make a good living, and if you can't find both, you can only make up your mind about the power in your own hands.

This long night road will break into ghosts, and sometimes it is inevitable that the handle will be held by the boss or the imperial history, so you can only ask for more blessings.

It is not easy to be an official of any dynasty, ancient and modern.

Seeing that the same colleague entered Beijing in the same year, the one moved to the left, this one was praised by the Shangguan, the Beijing Cha Xuyou, and this one had a local gentry to send Wanmin umbrellas, and even reached the ears of the elders of the Beijing Cabinet, and that was personally summoned by the emperor's edict, but you have not moved in the position for a few years, can you be as stable as a dog as Mount Tai?

Shangguan speaks coldly to you, the gentry are lukewarm to you, you don't panic in your heart, you don't have shame on your face, can you still sit still?

In his previous life, Feng Ziying was so capable that the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee almost took over as mayor, so naturally he also had some ability, if he didn't have a little emotional intelligence and a grasp of people's feelings, he wouldn't be able to sit in that position.

Now he revisits the new world now, and finds that many things are actually in the same vein, how to play with them, and there are still many things in it that are worth savoring.
