It was almost noon when Lin Feng returned to Lin's house.
He left Bailu Mountain early in the morning and went straight to the palace without returning home. Now I go home and rest directly, while thinking about how to solve things tomorrow.
The imperial examination must be implemented.
On the one hand, it is to rely on Ying Jiuxiao's prestige. Because Ying Jiuxiao has enough prestige and influence. This is a good time to get things done and implement strategies. If it had been Ying Yuqian, he wouldn't be able to command at all.
On the other hand, he still had to plan carefully and consider appropriate interests. As he mentioned, unite more people. Therefore, the targets of the imperial examination were not only scholars from poor families, but also more scholars.
Only in this way can it not be stopped.
This will be the general trend.
Lin Feng thought about it for a while, then Gao Xiaoyu came in and reported: "Sir, the two ladies are back. Please come and have dinner."
"knew."
Lin Feng nodded and answered.
He got up and went to the dining room. When he saw Bai Yuyao and Xu Liuli, he sat down directly.
After these days of getting along, Bai Yuyao and Xu Liuli have become familiar with each other. Both women are gentle yet strong, and have their own opinions. Moreover, both of them have their own things to do, and the family is quite harmonious together.
After Lin Feng and the two girls finished eating, Xu Liuli was still busy with her martial arts academy and left in a hurry.
Bai Yuyao was about to leave, but Lin Feng stopped him.
Bai Yuyao stopped and asked, "What can I do, husband?"
Lin Feng did not beat around the bush and said directly: "How much money does your family have now?"
Bai Yuyao didn't even think about it and said directly: "The Lin family currently has at least five million taels of silver stored in cash. The Huichun Hall franchise store has made a lot of money. In addition, the Lin family's other industries are also very large. Make money. In addition to silver, the gold at home is at least two hundred thousand taels of gold."
"hiss!"
Lin Feng took a breath of air.
Very shocked.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that now I have to rely on you, Yuyao, to make money and support me. There are many industries that make more money every day."
Bai Yuyao said: "These money-making ideas are all given by my husband. Without my husband, how could our Lin family have so much property? Especially in the cold winter this year, our down jacket business has further expanded and we have made a lot of money."
Lin Feng said: "I may allocate a lot of my family's money, at least three million taels of silver. But not now, it will be used later."
Bai Yuyao didn't ask at all and said directly: "If your husband wants to use it, just use it."
Lin Feng said: "Don't ask me what to use it for?"
Bai Yuyao looked at Lin Feng, with a touch of admiration in her eyes, and said: "I know that my husband never does things for profit. Since money must be used, it must be used for things that benefit the country and the people. The Lin family is not short of money. With this foundation, Why not do it?”
"The first is to do one's best. The second is to set an example for Yu'er so that he will not become a selfish person in the future. The third is to accumulate virtue and do good."
Bai Yuyao said: "In short, our Lin family's money is used where it should be used."
Lin Feng said: "If you get a wife like this, what else can you ask for?"
Bai Yuyao said: "This is all the influence of my husband. If I hadn't met my husband, I wouldn't have the life I have today. Now, I can do the things I like, and I have my husband, and Yu'er is here, and my family is harmonious and beautiful, which is enough ”
Lin Feng explained: "For a long time, although the Qin State had Imperial College, education was not booming. Therefore, I teamed up with teachers, senior brothers and people from Bailu Academy to prepare to open academies in various counties in Da Qin. A large amount of financial support was needed in the early stage. "
"On the one hand, we fully support it. On the other hand, the court will also support it. Therefore, three million taels of silver is a basic investment. Perhaps more money will be invested in the future."
Bai Yuyao said: "I support my husband, and I believe that my husband can do a good job."
Lin Feng held Bai Yuyao in his arms.
This is his wife, who supports him unconditionally. In fact, Lin Feng's approach is quite idealistic. It’s just that he has the foundation and is willing to give it a try.
No matter what, let’s talk about it after taking this step. In this world, there will always be some people who are willing to do it selflessly. Lin Feng is not a good person, but Han Qianqiu and others are willing to do it, but Lin Feng cannot put all his energy into it.
What he could do to help Han Qianqiu and Xunzi was to give them some advice and strong financial support.
This is what making money is all about.
Making money is not to accumulate wealth, but to use it in the right place. It is to enable more people to live a more meaningful and clear life.
Bai Yuyao leaned in Lin Feng's arms for a long time, and then she said, "Husband, just do it. Our Lin family fully supports it."
Lin Feng said: "Yu Yao, thank you."
Bai Yuyao said: "Husband, what are you saying? You and I, as husband and wife, naturally want to be of the same mind."
Lin Feng said: "One more thing, I'm going to make medicinal wine. There must be ginseng in our pharmacy, right?"
"have!"
Bai Yuyao nodded in reply.
Lin Feng said: "Ginseng can maintain good health and prolong life. Using ginseng in wine can subtly improve the body. It is quite helpful for the elderly. So I plan to use ginseng in wine and add some auxiliary medicinal materials to make Ginseng wine. On the one hand, give some to teachers and senior brothers to improve their health. On the other hand, you can also give some to the imperial grandfather and father-in-law."
Bai Yuyao said: "Everything depends on my husband, but can this ginseng wine be sold?"
"Sure, it's just more expensive."
Lin Feng said: "This ginseng wine must be sold in limited quantities and cannot be sold in large quantities. Otherwise, if there is too much, it will be worthless."
"I understand."
Bai Yuyao nodded and said: "My husband will write down the formula, and I will arrange for someone to brew it and try the effect again."
"Can!"
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
Bai Yuyao still had something to do, so she didn't wait for Lin Feng to write the prescription. She said directly: "I have to go to the down jacket shop in the afternoon. The cold winter is over this year, and the sales of down jackets are almost over. I need to be busy counting these. Wait until I finish. Let’s talk slowly with my husband later.”
"Go!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
Bai Yuyao stood up and left, leaving Lin Feng alone.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, and went straight back to the study. He wanted to continue to think about how to deal with the imperial examination in the future. It can be foreseen that in the debate in the court tomorrow, countless people will raise questions and create difficulties.
The advancement of the imperial examination affected the interests of powerful families. If you touch other people's interests, won't they refute you?
That is impossible,
So be thoughtful.
Lin Feng thought about it carefully. As he was thinking, a sound of footsteps came, and Gao Xiaoyu reported: "Master, Zhang Yun has come to see you."
"please!"
Lin Feng gave the order.
Zhang Yunlai was the son of Zhang Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He had never been an official. He ran a Yuan Qingfang. He had many connections and was a good person. When Lin Feng went to Liangzhou in the past, Zhang Yunlai gave him a lot of news, and the relationship between the two parties was quite harmonious.
Moreover, Zhang Yunlai did not have the characteristics of a son of a powerful person, and Lin Feng also admired him quite a lot.
Zhang Yunlai, wearing a brown robe, entered the study, cupped his hands and said, "Meet the Duke of Zhenguo."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to be like this. In private, you and I can call you brothers. Brother Zhang, sit down!"
Zhang Yunlai lifted up his robe and sat down, and said seriously: "I came today because, to be honest, I have an unkind invitation."
Lin Feng said: "Brother Zhang, please tell me."
Zhang Yunlai said: "I have a son, Zhang Han, who is nine years old this year and is quite eager to learn. Therefore, I would like to ask the Duke to take him as a book boy by his side and train him as you wish. As long as he can follow the Duke, he can be beaten at will. You can scold me, but I won’t say anything.”
Lin Feng said: "Your brother Zhang's son is the legitimate son of the Zhang family. If he comes to be a book boy by my side, I'm afraid Zhang Shangshu will be so angry that he will chase me with a knife after getting the news. This is inappropriate, this is very inappropriate."
Zhang Yunlai said: "My lord, Zhang Han is not my eldest son, nor my legitimate son. He is just the son born by my concubine, and Zhang Han is a concubine. Because he is a concubine, he will definitely not be able to obtain the resources of the family in the future. Even if you come, you can’t compete with your legitimate son.”
"How can a father not make plans for his son? Therefore, I want him to stay with the Duke and be influenced by the Duke so that he can find a way to do anything in the future."
Lin Feng understood immediately.
He could also understand that Zhang Yunlai was willing to run around for his son.
Lin Feng was thinking in his mind.
Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of Zhang Yun's arrangement for the concubine to study. In fact, couldn't it be linked to the imperial examination?
These people are the targets of the imperial examination.
The children of aristocratic families can indeed serve as officials. In most cases, it is the main legitimate son who enjoys the family's resources. The bastard son of the family has no chance at all, because ordinary families cannot provide for so many people.
This is reality.
In fact, there are many people in the big family who are depressed and do not have any opportunities.
The imperial examination gave these people opportunities.
Lin Feng said seriously: "Brother Zhang, it's not difficult to ask me to help you. Besides, I think your son, why does he need to be a follower by my side? I can make the decision and send your son to Bailu Academy to study. You how about?"
"really?"
Zhang Yun became excited when he came.
Studying at Bailu Academy.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he can only dream of it. Because going to White Deer Academy is beyond the reach of ordinary people and you must have enough talent.
Even, there must be considerable background.
If he was Zhang Yunlai's legitimate son, it would not be difficult to arrange for him to go to White Deer Academy.
The Zhang family has this background.
However, it is difficult to arrange for the concubine to go.
The concubine went to Bailu Academy, what should the legitimate son do? Even the other rooms in the Zhang family will have ideas.
Lin Feng said: "Of course it is true."
Zhang Yunlai stood up, clasped his hands, bowed and bowed, and said: "My lord, Zhang Yunlai is deeply grateful. But you have been asked, no matter what the arrangements are, I, Zhang Yunlai, will never refuse as long as I can do it."
Zhang Han is Zhang Yunlai's concubine, but he is his favorite son. He is smart, filial and well-behaved.
He couldn't bear to lose such a son.
That's why I found Lin Feng.
Everyone knows that although Lin Feng has never served as an official, he is already the Duke of Qin. With Lin Feng's identity and status, studying with Lin Feng is an excellent opportunity, and the future is limitless.
Of course, it would be better if you go to Bailu Academy.
"really?"
Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and asked a question.
Zhang Yunlai said: "Of course it is true. As long as it does not violate moral laws, I will never refuse."
Lin Feng said: "It happens that I have something to do here that I need you to handle..."
Immediately, Lin Feng elaborated.
After all the matters related to the imperial examination were explained, Zhang Yunlai listened and said in shock: "My lord, does the imperial court really want to implement the imperial examination?"
Lin Feng said: "Shangshu Zhang also knows what has been decided. Tomorrow morning, there will be a meeting of the imperial court, where we will discuss this matter. If you are willing to do this, then do it. If you are not willing, then give up."
After a pause, Lin Feng said: "Actually, this matter will be of some benefit to you. If it is done, you will also have some impression. At least in the eyes of all the officials in the court and in the eyes of His Majesty, you will have some impression. Even if you don't care about power, you can gain some fame."
"I'm willing to do it."
Zhang Yunlai gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Although there are many risks, it is worth it, and it is for the sake of his son.
When the imperial examination is held in the future, his son Zhang Han will have a great opportunity.
This kind of career is more stable.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "In that case, then go ahead. There is not much time left for you, only half the afternoon."
"Farewell."
Zhang Yunlai bowed and left.
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yun's leaving figure with a smile on his face. With Zhang Yunlai, there is one more step.
Lin Feng is even more looking forward to the grand meeting tomorrow.
