His words naturally aroused everyone’s agreement and laughter! The people who can sit in this private room are all people from the old noble families, but they are extremely envious of Liu Haojia!
Because Liu Haojia was young, the number of people they sent to make friends with Liu Haojia was naturally not large. All the money spent on people like them is family money, so naturally they are not as happy as Liu Haojia spends his own money! That's why they were willing to eat and drink at Liu Haojia's place, and it was also a means of communication!
Another point is that this guy makes money so fast! If we look at money alone, the Liu family is already the leading wealthy family in the capital! But a truly wealthy family is not just about having a lot of money, it also involves land, shops, connections, servants, and many other aspects. In these aspects, the Liu family's background is much worse than everyone else. ap.
Things like land and shops are easy to say, but at worst, you just have to spend money to buy them! Although it is difficult to buy land for shops and shops in good locations now, you can always find it if you spend more time searching slowly and spending more money.
Networking is even easier! As Liu Haojia's official position is stabilized and the navy in his father's hands becomes stronger and stronger, connections will naturally come to him! So you don’t need to make so-called connections. When you are useful to others, someone will naturally come to make friends with you!
But the biggest shortcoming of the Liu family is the lack of available manpower! This cannot be made up for in a short time. No matter what those old noble families do, they can always provide available manpower at any time. This is what they have trained and screened for decades or hundreds of years, and cannot produce results in a short time.
The servants in those old noble families are all servants who have been passed down from generation to generation. After a long period of observation and targeted training, they have a relatively high success rate. If he is not talented, just give him some money and let him go free, and he will get a good reputation.
But the Liu family is different! When the Liu family was at its lowest, there was only one servant and a maid! How can you trust those people who dispersed when the Liu family was in poverty and have been separated for too long! Therefore, there are not many people that the Liu family can really use now, and most of them are selected from the first few batches of children Liu Haojia bought.
You must know that it does not mean that if you buy a child and train it, you will become a talented person. Most people are just ordinary. Many of them are just good enough to be servants, but what's the use of having so many servants in a family, so most of the children will be sent out to start another family when they reach adulthood.
Therefore, lack of manpower is a weakness that has always troubled the Liu family. Fortunately, as the children grow up year by year, more and more manpower is needed.
The banquet reached its climax soon after it started! The nobles from each private room rushed into Liu Haojia's private room to propose a toast! As for other private rooms, you can just walk around selectively, so the restaurant is very lively and there is an endless flow of happy people!
There are more than a dozen people in the private room where Liu Haojia is located, which can be said to be the top group of nobles in the capital. So they just need to sit back and people will naturally come over to toast.
After the third round of wine and the fifth taste of the food, everyone slowed down their drinking speed and began to recall and discuss what happened in the morning. In the past, the nobles were bullied severely by civil servants. Today, when they saw dozens of civil servants being forced to retire, they were filled with emotion and praised Liu Haojia for giving everyone a sigh of relief!
Liu Haojia waved his hands indiscriminately and said: "Don't feed me the wrong soup! You are just flattering me! Did you really not have the ability to fight back before? I think you are just lazy, and you are not willing to confront those civil servants head-on." That’s it!」
Someone smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Liu, things are not as simple as you said!"
Liu Haojia pouted and said, "Of course I know it's not that simple! In fact, the biggest problem with nobles is that they are not united and don't stick together like civil servants!"
Everyone fell silent as soon as Liu Haojia said this, because they all knew that Liu Haojia was really right! The fact is just as he said, although the civil servants seem to be numerous and loose, in fact they have clear grades and classes within them. They built a huge network using teachers and students, classmates, classmates, fellow villagers, etc. to unite the entire civil service system!
But the situation is different for the nobles, because everyone is a noble, each in charge of his own business, why should I listen to you?
Words? Therefore, when nobles and civil servants confront each other, one family faces all civil servants. Naturally, there is a winner but not a win!
And the group of civil servants is so large that they are willing to play the game of cheating! Moreover, after the civil servants who were regarded as abandoned sons retired from the court, they lived happily under the protection of the civil servant group! But this is not the case for the nobles. Once a noble loses, other nobles will be busy fighting for the inheritance, just to make themselves fuller! How can you get them to unite in this situation?
Of course Xu Xigao could hear what Liu Haojia meant! He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Liu, what's going on here is hard to describe!"
Liu Haojia said impatiently: "What's so hard to say! I think you just haven't changed your mind yet! In the past, you were fighting on your own and couldn't form a joint force. Now that the noble business group has been established, the interests of all the nobles are tied to Together, what are you afraid of at this time? I don’t believe that if someone loses his title and everyone helps, there will be no chance of recovery."
As soon as Liu Haojia said these words, the whole room went silent! After a while, Xu Xigao slapped the table and said, "That's right! It's no longer the time for us to fight alone!"
As soon as he said this, the room immediately became chaotic! Everyone realized that after forming the business group, the nobles seemed to have formed a whole like civil servants, and many things were different from before. It was just that they had not reacted for a while, and they had to break this point with Liu Haojia. think!
At this time, Xu Xigao picked up the wine and said, "Good brother, I would like to toast you this glass of wine on behalf of my father! I have to have a good talk with my father tonight!"
Other nobles also knew that Liu Haojia's words had opened a new door for them, and they felt that life seemed to be changing! In the past, they not only had to guard against civil servants, but they also had to guard against other nobles behind their backs. It was really sad! If the honorable nobles really want to unite, they can also fight with those civil servants!
First of all, the honorable noble basically rests with the country, which means he is already in an invincible position! As long as you don't make big mistakes, you will be rich and prosperous from generation to generation. But those civil servants are different. The families of civil servants often thrive and die because of people! Just like Zhang Juzheng's family, because Zhang Juzheng himself brought his family to the pinnacle of the family, but as soon as he died, the entire Zhang family fell apart!
