Liu Guangting also said: "Yes, if we weren't here in the Earl's Mansion, all kinds of bandits would have pounced on us!"
Liu Haojia said: "I believe this! Father, two uncles, do you know how many lives have been lost in Liuzhuang during this period? From the time when mirrors were produced in Liuzhuang to now, seventeen people have been killed in Liuzhuang!"
Several people were shocked when they heard this. Liuzhuang's mirror workshop was the lifeblood of Gu Ningbo's house, so nothing could happen to it! So Liu's father immediately said: "Are you here to inquire about information and want to steal the secret recipe?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "Yes, they are all planning to steal the secret recipe! But the money I gave was generous and the villagers were fed! I also explained to them clearly that as long as this workshop is open, they will have a good life. ! If the secret recipe is stolen, their good days will come to an end! So the villagers are very concerned about defending the village!"
Liu Guangyuan said: "Second Young Master, did the Yamen say anything? Did the people behind it raise any objections?"
Liu Haojia said disdainfully: "Do they dare? What kind of place is that? It's Huangzhuang! The local government has no control at all, and beating him to death is in vain! Besides, if someone inquires, this matter must go through the inner court and His Majesty the inner court. Then you will know, will your Majesty let the person who stole his money go?"
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, and then Father Liu said: "But our family has so much money, you still have to find a way!"
Liu Haojia said: "The reason for inviting all the elders here today is for this matter. Now I have a relatively long-term plan to talk to you about."
After hearing this, everyone became more energetic and focused. In particular, Father Liu knew that Liu Haojia had a lot of thoughts and his ideas were useful, so he pricked up his ears and prepared to listen carefully.
Liu Haojia sat on the chair, carefully organized his words and said: "In my plan, my father and my two uncles have arrangements. Let me first talk about what my father wants to do personally."
Father Liu was filled with joy after hearing this, and even held his chest up proudly. To be honest, he was feeling both pain and happiness during this period! The family is prosperous, the family is rich, and the status is improved, but all of this seems to have little to do with him!
Xuetang and the restaurant were owned by his son. Even the biggest source of wealth, the mirror, was also made by his son. The three biggest sources of wealth in the family have nothing to do with him! Later, his wife partnered with some other wives to open Qingya Xiaozhu. Although the profit was not large, Qingya Xiaozhu was an invisible power organization in the entire capital!
Nowadays, all the ladies in charge like to go to Qingya Xiaozhu to build relationships and talk about cooperation. It is much better than before when each family worked alone! Who would have thought that a group of women working together could accomplish great things like men!
Father Liu, who is familiar with the situation, knows that several family alliances have been spawned in Qingya Xiaozhu, but now they are very weak. They are only formed by the union of several small families and cannot challenge a single established family. However, It can be seen that their strength is constantly growing!
The most outrageous thing is that his general position in the Fifth Army Camp was obtained by his wife who helped him find a way! And although he eats, drinks, and keeps in touch with the nobles every day, those guys are not soft-spoken when it comes to eating and drinking, but they are slippery when doing things, and they are very difficult to deal with!
Therefore, during this period of time, Liu's father felt that his position in the family seemed to be shaken. Now Liu Haojia asked him to do something, which restored a lot of his confidence!
Just listen to Liu Haojia say: "Father, the first thing you have to do is to make friends with Shangguan and colleagues, and form a larger network of relationships as much as possible! We don't expect them to be a real helper to our Gu Ningbo Mansion, but At least it’s enough to be able to inform us when we encounter problems, or to hesitate for a moment when something is wrong!”
After hearing this, Liu Fu said impatiently: "Of course I know this, but you will do it even if you don't say it! Let's talk about the second thing quickly!"
Liu Haojia smiled and continued: "The second thing is to find ways to bribe some officials from the Ministry of Industry as much as possible. It doesn't have to be a high position, just being able to manage craftsmen!"
Father Liu frowned and said, "Boy, the Ministry of Industry is all civil servants. Seeing me is like seeing an enemy, and they can't talk to each other!"
Liu Haojia said resolutely: "Then we have to get on the line! At this time, for future considerations, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are very useful!"
Father Liu said: "Okay, I'll find a way! Are there any other arrangements?"
Liu Haojia said: "Yes! The third thing is to cooperate with Uncle Zhang to sell mirrors and snow candies to as many places as possible in Ming Dynasty, so as to save enough money for the family! But please listen to Uncle Zhang more about this." My opinion! Find time to sit down with Uncle Zhang later, I still have a lot of business matters to explain to him. There are no other things!"
Although Father Liu heard this, he felt that he was still not taken seriously, but he was still much better than before. So he nodded heavily to show his understanding.
Liu Haojia turned back to Liu Guangyuan and said: "Uncle Guangyuan, the first thing you have to do is to go out and buy land! Buy as much land as possible near the capital. When buying these lands, you must make a big splash! In addition, you must buy other places. Some. At this time, try to buy the entire Zhuangzi as much as possible. But keep a low profile!"
Liu Guangyuan thought he had guessed something, so he nodded solemnly and said: "I understand! I will not use the name of Uncle Ning's house when buying land outside, but it will take a lot of effort and more money from the local government. A lot of money!"
Liu Haojia shook his head and said: "Uncle Guangyuan, you are wrong. We don't need to avoid this at all! We still have to report the name of Gu Ningbo's house. Our escape route is not in Zhuangzi in another place. I have other plans!" "
Liu Guangyuan nodded to express his understanding and said, "I understand, Second Young Master, what is the second thing?"
Liu Haojia said: "The second thing is to collect orphans and put them in various villages for training. But this matter should be kept low-key and done as a good deed! We can't let people catch us and say that we are plotting to kill people. You have evil intentions! And if things get too big, someone might kidnap the child and sell it, and our family will be guilty of something evil!"
Liu Guangyuan nodded to express his understanding. Father Liu also said: "That's right! Our family has enough money now, so we should do some good deeds!"
Liu Haojia said: "Uncle Guangyuan, the training of these children should be based on the first batch of children bought by our family. Those who can learn literature, learn martial arts, and those who can be shopkeepers should become shopkeepers! Our family is developing too fast. , not as good as those who have a profound foundation for hundreds of years, so we must pay close attention to cultivating talents!"
