Chapter 831: Worry
When the sky was about to dawn, Tian Kang walked out of the small study, and did not go to say goodbye to Geng Qiancheng, he estimated that Geng Qiancheng should not have gotten up at this time, he quietly left the county and state capital, as soon as the city gate was opened, he could be the first to go out of the city, for the people of the Eagle's Nest, quietness is their biggest feature, good fighters have no outstanding achievements, people like them, if they are too famous, and people know them wherever they go, then they are not suitable for field work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Like Guo Jiuling, he can basically only stay in the lair of Yuejing City, and it is difficult to get out of Beijing. Except, of course, for Thousand Faces in the Eagle's Nest, because until now, even his closest companions couldn't be sure if what they saw on a daily basis was the true face of Thousand Faces. This person's ability to incarnate tens of millions is really breathtaking.
Geng shrewdly walked out of the little book heart exhausted, looked at the morning star in the sky, and sighed sadly, these days, he was really tired to death, he was going to sleep comfortably yesterday and enjoy a beautiful grace, but in the end, he sat with Tian Kang, a dry and thin guy, all night.
stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, and couldn't help but look in the mirror, he must have two dark circles under his eyes, and he had to go back and make up for a good night's sleep. Glancing back at the backyard, he decided to hurry up while the old man hadn't gotten up yet, otherwise he would be caught by him and he would definitely have to be verbose again.
After going down the steps, he didn't take two steps, and Uncle Zhong, the old family, appeared in front of him like a ghost, "Young master! β
"Uncle Zhong, why are you still here?" Geng was taken aback.
"The master hasn't slept either, he's been waiting for you, sitting in the small garden behind!" Uncle Zhong said in a low voice.
Geng Jingming was surprised and sighed.
"Let's go, young master!" Uncle Zhong urged.
After all, he still didn't escape, and the old man actually sat in the small garden all night? Geng Jingming was a little moved, the old man was usually very strict with himself, even if he made a fortune in business, he didn't give himself much good color. He was really scared. What the old man is thinking about is that he wants to be an official, but this Ming official really has nothing to do. I am tired to death, and I say that the salary is high, but compared to my own income, it is completely heaven and earth.
The old man still has the same old-fashioned thinking, and he doesn't look at it, but now in the Ming Dynasty, the status of businessmen is rising, and he is not as slaughtered as before. A situation like his own home, in his opinion, is the best match, the old man is an official and does his own business.
"Dad isn't angry, is he?" He asked tentatively.
Uncle Zhong shook his head, "The master is not angry, he just seems to be preoccupied." β
"Then I'm still angry!" Geng Jingming lifted his robe, walked a few steps, and followed Uncle Zhong to the small garden at the back.
Geng Qiancheng sat on the edge of the stone table in the small garden, the pot of tea in front of him had already been drunk, Geng Qingming looked at it, at least half a pot of tea, and I don't know how the old man drank such a bitter thing.
"Sit down!" Looking at his son, who was somewhat detained, Geng Qiancheng pointed to the opposite side. "Tian Kang is gone, right?"
"Let's go!" Geng sat down cautiously.
Geng Qiancheng looked his son up and down, and saw that Geng Jingming's heart was a little hairy.
"Let you go to the scientific examination, become an official, and you won't go to death, you want to do business, and if you do business, you will do business, why are you getting involved with the Eagle's Nest again?" Geng Qiancheng sighed.
"Dad, aren't the officials of the Eagle's Nest also the officials of the Ming Dynasty? Speaking of which, I am now a general, at the same level as Tian Kang, a general of the fifth grade. Geng shrewdly whispered, "Isn't this exactly what you want?" β
"What do you mean by what I want?" Geng Qiancheng looked at the other party angrily: "Do you know what the Eagle's Nest does?" Do you know that this yamen is easy to enter and difficult to get out? You've put on this skin, and unless you die, don't want to get rid of them for the rest of your life. β
"Why should I get rid of them?" Geng shrewdly retorted in a low voice: "With this skin, is it more convenient for me to do business?" There were some things that I couldn't do for me, and someone did it for me. β
"You mean the dirty work, right?" Geng Qiancheng sneered: "But have you thought about it, the more they help you, the deeper you will fall!" β
"Dad, I have no choice, when I first started, I really had a hurdle that I couldn't get over, at that time they came to the door, what other way did I have besides cooperating with them? Besides, this is also a contribution to the Ming Dynasty! Didn't you always want me to be loyal? β
"Son, there are many ways to work for Daming, and you just chose the one I don't like the most." Geng Qiancheng sighed and said, "You, you don't know how powerful the Eagle's Nest is. β
"Dad, it's too late to say anything anyway." Geng shrewdly said: "I can only go one way to the dark." β
Geng Qiancheng was silent for a long time, "A few days ago, I received a letter from Lord Wang of the Commercial Administration. β
"Department of Commerce, Miss Wang Yueyao?" Geng Jingming's eyes lit up, "This is a great person, her means of doing business are really amazing, and a woman can control such a huge business network, which is really admirable." Dad, don't you know, just a Taiping Fang, I can't catch up with the horse! β
"You're right, that's a big man. But what makes me more important is not her ability, but that she is one of the most trusted people of His Majesty the Emperor, and her fiancΓ© Shu, who is the emperor's lifelong friend. Geng Qiancheng said in a low voice.
"Dad, what do you want to say?" Geng Jingming looked at him with some puzzlement.
"Don't you ask Lord Wang what he wrote to me for?" Geng Qiancheng tilted his head to look at his son.
"This is your officialdom's business, most of it is some official business, I ask what you are doing!" Geng shrewdly shook his head.
"No, it's just about you." Geng Qiancheng shook his head and said: "The imperial court is setting up a railway department, I heard what kind of railway is going to be built, I don't know much about what this thing is, but Lord Wang said in the letter that I want to ask you to help." β
"Me?" Geng Jingming pointed a finger at his nose, puzzled: "I don't know what this railway is, what can I help?" β
"It seems to have something to do with the share capital you got it!" Geng Qiancheng said: "Lord Wang said in the letter that they are very interested in this method of raising funds that you have created, and the Railway Administration under construction will also want to use this method in the future, so let you help do this kind of thing." β
"I just didn't go, where did I go, what will happen to my business?" Geng shrewdly refused. "This time I went to Xinning County, and I just finalized an agreement with Wu Teng to buy some more mulberry mountains, silk factories, and embroidery workshops in Chu State, and I also borrowed millions of taels of silver from Taiping Bank.
"Confused!" Geng Qiancheng suddenly raised his voice and glared at Geng Shrewdness.
As soon as Daddy was angry, Geng Jingming immediately relented.
"Who is Lord Wang? She asked for you, this is your blessing, but also your luck. Geng Qiancheng roared: "Although I don't know what a railway is, I know that this is a thing that Your Majesty attaches great importance to. Even if you don't want to be an official in the future, but you want to get out of the eagle's nest, it's possible. When the time comes, Lord Wang Shu will help you say a few words, which will be more effective than anything else, you know? The Eagle's Nest is not a place to stay for long. β
"Really?" Geng Jingming heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course." Geng Qiancheng nodded: "Your own business is already on the right track, and you don't need to keep an eye on it all the time, and Lord Wang also said that I just asked you to come over to help, and it won't delay your business." When you turn around, you will go to Yuejing immediately, the newly established director of the railway administration is skillful, and he is also the emperor's henchman, and it will be good for you to get acquainted with these big people. You Lao Tzu has achieved the guard of a county, and you have reached the top. When your father dies, who will take care of you, don't think you are smart enough to do business, without me, you can do many things so smoothly? After getting acquainted with these big shots, you can get rid of the eagle's nest in the future, do business and have a backstage, and no one dares to bully you casually, understand? β
Geng Qingming nodded again and again: "Dad, you are still far-sighted!" I'll do it. And keep it well, as for making friends with these big people, hehe, dealing with people, this is what I do best, keeping them one by one like a spring breeze. β
"These adults aren't the people you usually see, and none of them are simple people. Don't get carried away, remember to be a man with your tail between your legs all the time. Geng Qiancheng admonished.
"Yes, Dad, I remember."
Geng shrewdly said: "You go and rest first, sit here all night, aren't you tired and panicked, I'm really tired." β
"It's not that you're not worried." Geng Qiancheng sighed. "It's dawn, how to rest, the army has already laid down Leye County, and it is about to continue to move forward, different from the previous raid, this time it is clear that the carriages and horses are moving forward, this logistics and baggage, etc., I have to take care of it, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, but I dare not have the slightest sloppiness."
Geng Jingming looked at his father's rickety back and staggered out, his heart was moved, his eyes were hot, and his nose was sour, so he quickly reached out and rubbed it, and reached into the teapot again, took out some tea leaves and chewed them in his mouth.
There has long been no trace of tea.
With a sniffle, he strode out. Go back and sleep beautifully, then arrange your own business, and obediently go to the capital to report! The Railway Department, the railway, the railway, the railway, what is that? Will it lose money? Has anyone thrown money in?
His mind was spinning quickly, let's go and see first, if there is money to be made, he can also buy shares!
