Chapter 596: I'm relieved that you're doing things
Another implication of the large number of wealthy families in the south is that people are stupid and money comes quickly.
Father-in-law Wei admires this future cheap godbrother very much, what are the conditions for a successful person.
The answer is simple, to get ahead of others.
Why is Wei Guangwei's life successful?
He was ahead of the others.
He was the first Donglin Party member to defect to his second uncle, the first important minister of the imperial court, and the first to worship his second uncle as a godfather.
Because he left early, he became a cabinet assistant.
Cause and effect, it's as simple as that.
Otherwise, step by step, and then there is the suppression of Zhao Nanxing, the boss of Donglin, why did he Wei Guangwei jump from the waiter of the Nanjing Rite Department on the cold bench to the official of the Beijing Rite Department who holds real power.
Giving birth to a child should be like Wei Guangwei, if you take a step in advance, you will become a benevolent person if you don't succeed.
When others leave, you leave again, and you can't even drink a mouthful of soup.
Wei Guangwei's proposal made Wei Gonggong secretly excited.
As everyone knows, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is not in the court, nor in the royal family, but in the people.
This people are not other people, but gentry and rich households.
Where there are many rich households in the world, Jiangnan too!
If the bonds can be sold in Jiangnan, all the gentry and wealthy households in Jiangnan will be developed into a downline, and they will all be given a five-level and three-jin, which is no less than plunging headlong into a gold mine.
Good idea, good idea!
Father-in-law Wei was overjoyed, he didn't think about large-scale sales, but because his sales team had not been established, he was about to go south to the sea, so he couldn't take care of it.
Although Shou Ning's concubine has a talent for business, after all, she is a woman, and it is inconvenient to come forward for many things, so it is rare to be able to gnaw down the plate of Jingshi and maintain it well. Pointing to her to fight the whole country is also difficult for a strong man.
The most important thing is that Shou Ning's identity is destined to make her only work in the Jingshi area, and it will be difficult to do it without the identity of Her Royal Highness Princess Jingshi.
is like Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, he can set off waves if he doesn't leave Beijing, but once he leaves Beijing and goes to Luoyang, he can only be a captive fat pig in this life.
Local officials will not buy the accounts of princes and princesses.
In particular, this prince and princess were born to Concubine Zheng Guifei.
It is true that there are many rich households in Jiangnan, but they are also the nest of the Donglin Party.
Not to mention Shouning, even if Father-in-law Wei goes to sell it by himself, I'm afraid he will have to eat behind closed doors everywhere.
If it doesn't work well, he has to be suppressed by the local gentry and give him a five-gentleman, eight-gentleman and so on.
This is very likely, when the second uncle was so majestic in power, didn't the gentry and wealthy households in Wuxi also make a group of tax resistance for the second uncle, and made a five-person tombstone.
But if Wei Guangwei, a member of the Donglin Party, comes forward, this matter will be operational.
Father-in-law Wei didn't know how Wei Guangwei came into contact with maritime bonds, and he wasn't present when Shou Ning went to his grandfather and uncle's house to sell, but he only knew that Zheng Chengxian bought 20 copies, Zheng Guotai bought 10 copies, and the father and son bought a total of 30,000 taels. He also gave only half of the cash, and the rest was a dozen slips.
At that time, Gonggong Wei was still very angry, thinking that the father-in-law and the uncle were too picky.
Shou Ning didn't care, but was very happy.
Because, she can use the name of her grandfather and uncle to develop other relatives.
Afterwards, Gonggong Wei felt more and more that he was inferior to his concubine, and in order to prove that he was more capable than Shou Ning, he took advantage of the fact that the horse master was going to collect money, and overturned Shou Ning.
Although Father-in-law Wei didn't know how Wei Guangwei saw the great prospects of this maritime bond, and how he persuaded Zheng Guotai to invite his father-in-law Wei, but he was sure that the two of them must have "analyzed" it before and confirmed that there was money and operability, so they asked for it.
It's not good, it's all incidental to invite Grandpa Wei to read the book.
Don't watch it early, don't watch it late, and come to see it at this time?
"Uncle Xiao and Master Wei really have a vision! …”
Father-in-law Wei did not hesitate to praise Zheng Guotai and Wei Guangwei. Of course, the more aggressive he boasts, the more his maritime bonds are a valuable investment.
"This bond was entrusted to you by His Majesty, and you are also handling the maritime affairs, so I can't be the master of this, you see if it is feasible, if you can do it, you will talk to Uncle Xian."
The little uncle doesn't seem to want to get involved in this matter, and this matter is all the business of the Second Wei Gong and has nothing to do with him.
Father-in-law Wei understands people, and when he hears it, he understands Zheng Guotai's thoughts.
It's not a family, it's not a family.
The little uncle, like his brother-in-law, wants to take advantage of it, but doesn't want to take risks.
However, Wei Guangwei was very responsible, first giving his views on maritime bonds, and then talking about the benefits of issuing in Jiangnan.
Zheng Guotai only listened and didn't say anything on the side, smiling.
Song Qingyang didn't care about this, he was a little impatient, and he wanted to go back to sleep but didn't dare.
"It's rare for adults to value our bonds, and they don't hide it from adults, our family really intends to sell them in the south..."
Zheng Guotai suddenly got up at this time and said to see how the food was prepared in the kitchen, and called Song Qingyang to go out. Obviously, let Er Wei discuss it himself.
After Zheng Guotai left, the two Wei Gong looked at each other and smiled.
After some discussion, the cooperation method was decided.
Wei Guangwei was promoted to the general distributor of the Southern Region and was fully authorized by Wei Gonggong.
"My father-in-law looks down on the lower officials so much, which really makes the lower officials grateful!"
Wei Guangwei's matter was done, and he was also happy in his heart, and with this credit, Zheng Guotai must have paid more attention to him.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Father-in-law Wei waved his hand, "With you to do things, our family can rest assured." It's all for the emperor, it's really good to be good everyone. ”
After speaking, he suddenly smiled and asked casually: "But I don't know why my lord came to Beijing this time?" ”
"This..."
Wei Guangwei hesitated, seeing this, Gonggong Wei didn't ask anything, waved his hand, and used the excuse of being hungry to get rid of the matter.
Wei Guangwei hurriedly went to invite Zheng Guotai.
After Zheng Guotai came, he didn't ask how the two talked, but only asked someone to serve the food.
After the banquet was set, the three of them sat down, talking and laughing.
After a drink, Zheng Guotai suddenly asked Gonggong Wei: "I heard that the prince also bought bonds from you?" ”
"In the eyes of our family, there is only the emperor, not the prince." Father-in-law Wei had a straight face.
Wei Guangwei tilted his head slightly.
He remembered An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty.
It seems that this fat beard said the same thing in front of Xuanzong.
But they can't talk about it.
"When will Xianbo return to Nandu?" Zheng Guotai asked Wei Guangwei again.
Gonggong Wei quipped: "The land of Jinling is full of dragons and tigers, and adults have a long way to go." "The implication is that my brother will go back to develop the downline, and you must be careful when selling bonds, and you must not expose his father-in-law Wei, otherwise, when the rich people in the south heard that it was a eunuch, how many of them were willing to buy it?
Gonggong Wei shook his head and said: "There are tigers in the south but no dragons, and the real dragons are only in the capital." After speaking, he looked at Zheng Guotai with some flattery, "Little uncle doesn't know, Xia Guan has been an official since he went to the south, and he hasn't seen Long Yan for several years." ”
"This matter is easy to handle, wait for me to enter the palace tomorrow and say a few words to you."
Zheng Guotai smiled and said no more.
