"Our Hu family's business is mainly concentrated in the Guanzhong area, and we can make a lot of money every year. What do we rely on?
Relying first on diligence, secondly on integrity, and thirdly on the support of the common people, business prospered, financial resources rolled in, and finally he became the leader of Qin merchants!
If all the people in the Guanzhong area fled and died, and their fields were destroyed, leaving only ruins, how would our Hu family do business in the future? Without business, would the Hu family still survive?
Therefore, at this critical juncture, our Hu family should take the initiative to donate our property to help the people tide over the difficulties. Only when the people are stable and have a better life can our Hu family's business be long-term and do better and better.
As the saying goes: People are like water, businessmen are like fish. If the water is deep, the fish will be fat; if the water is shallow, the fish will be thin; if the water is dry, the fish will die. Do you understand this truth? "
The above words were Hu Ruoyu’s explanation.
After Hu Qingze, who was standing aside, listened, he first thought carefully for a moment, and then kept nodding his head. He strongly agreed with this "fish and water theory", but there was still doubt in his eyes.
"Grandpa is wise and far-sighted. My grandson admires him greatly. However, my grandson still has some questions. I wonder if grandpa can clear up my confusion?"
"Haha, what you are wondering about is why grandpa handed over 30% of the family property to General Qin instead of Governor Yang?"
"Exactly!"
Yang He is the Governor of the Three Borders, the Minister of the Ministry of War, a first-grade official, a proper official of the imperial court, and a high official in the border areas. Qin Feng is just a deputy general under his command. There is a huge difference in their identities!
It stands to reason that dedicating 30% of the family property to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to please him will definitely get more attention in the future, which will be more beneficial to the Hu family.
Hu Ruoyu did the opposite and dedicated 30% of his family property to Qin Feng. Such behavior is indeed puzzling!
"Haha, Ze'er, we businessmen should not just pursue immediate profits, but should take a longer-term view, so that we can gain greater benefits!"
"Long-term vision?"
"That's right. Grandpa, let me ask you, how do the three major Qin merchants rank?"
"Returning to Grandpa, the three major Qin merchants in the northwest are led by our Hu family, followed by the Gao family from Huamachi, and the Xue family from Suide City is at the bottom!"
"That's true, but in recent years, the Xue family first mined coal on a large scale in Shenmubao, making huge profits, and then participated in the mutual market, doing business with Chahar and other tribes on the grassland, selling large quantities of livestock and furs, it can be said that It is a source of wealth and a daily income!
Now in terms of financial resources alone, the Xue family has surpassed the Gao family and ranks second. In a few years, I am afraid that the Hu family will also be surpassed. The Xue family has risen so fast. Do you know the reason? ? "
"Returning to grandpa, my grandson heard that the Xue family has a very good relationship with that General Qin. Could it be that the rapid rise of the Xue family has something to do with it?"
"good!"
Hu Ruoyu nodded, and then continued to explain in a serious tone.
"Grandpa specially sent people to investigate. The coal mining in Shenmubao and the mutual trading business with various Mongolian ministries were all promoted by this General Qin and then handed over to the Xue family to take care of. This General Qin was not only powerful in fighting, but also a hundred He is victorious in battles and his business skills are equally great!
Today we invited General Qin to our mansion, treated him politely and with a feast, and donated 30% of his family property. In this way, General Qin owes our Hu family a big favor!
Grandpa has inquired about it. General Qin has always been a man of revenge and never forgets kindness. This time he owes our Hu family a favor, and he will definitely repay it in the future. The business of coal mines and grassland mutual trading, our Hu family You will have the opportunity to participate. In that case, not only can you earn back 30% of the donated production, but you can also earn more!
Of course, making money is just a small business, the real big business is yet to come! "
"What does grandpa mean by real big business?"
Hu Qingze asked another question, but Hu Ruoyu did not answer immediately. Instead, he dismissed several maids and servants in front of the hall, then stood up and walked around twice in a row to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then he pulled his grandson closer. , whispered into his ear.
"Ze'er, in your opinion, Da
What is the current national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and what about the current emperor? "
"Returning to Grandpa, the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 260 years. It has deep roots and people's attachment. Although there have been some internal and external troubles in the past few years, I believe that the crisis will be turned around.
As for the current emperor, when he inherited the throne, he eradicated the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, and then reused the Donglin scholars. He worked hard day and night and worked hard to govern. I believe he will become the leader of the ZTE. Many scholars outside say so! "
"Hmph, a bunch of stupid people who only know how to read, and their short-sighted eyes, what can they know? They are wrong, they are so wrong!"
"wrong?"
"Exactly, the Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 260 years. At this stage, it has become corrupt in government, riddled with malpractices, and separated from the people. It is like a century-old tree infested with insects. It looks huge, but inside it is actually It has long since decayed. As long as a strong wind blows over, it may collapse!
With such national conditions, if there is a calm and experienced monarch in power, who is cautious, does not act rashly, and rests with the people, the national destiny can be prolonged.
However, the current emperor seems to be wise and courageous, but in fact he is impetuous and eager for success. In just five years since he took the throne, he has replaced four cabinet ministers and dozens of important court ministers, making the government orders chaotic, a mess, and ineffective. of governing the country.
As for the eradication of the Eunuch Party, it seemed that the cancer had been eliminated, but in fact it caused the court to lose balance. The Donglin Party was dominated by the Donglin Party, which was ruthless and oppressive and abused the people. Coupled with constant natural disasters, this led to the hungry people's rebellion and the world's chaos.
Even though there is an upright official like Mr. Yang, the governor of the three sides, who cares about the country and the people, it is a pity that the building will collapse and it will be difficult to support it alone!
The Lord of ZTE is almost the same as the King of Subjugation, and this time won’t be too long! "
…
As the name suggests, Hu Ruoyu seems to be ordinary and stupid, but in fact he has great wisdom and is extremely accurate in seeing people and things.
Hu Qingze firmly believes in this.
Since grandpa said that the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will soon improve, he is not wrong!
What to do if the Ming Dynasty dies?
When a rooster dies and crows, a new dynasty will be established and a new emperor will rule the world.
Who will become the new emperor?
The ancients had the answer to this question long ago: The emperor would rather have the talent, and the one with strong soldiers and horses will do it!
The world is in chaos, and heroes are rising together. Whoever has strong soldiers and horses has the hope of becoming the new emperor!
In today's world, who is the one with strong soldiers and horses?
The Jurchen Eight Banners, Guanning Iron Cavalry, White Pole Soldiers, Wolf Soldiers... and the Mighty Heavenly Army!
Although the Tianwei Army has not been established for a long time, its soldiers are brave, well-equipped, and well-trained, and have repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. Coupled with a commander like Qin Feng who is both wise and brave, he will surely achieve greater achievements in the future!
…
Thinking of this, Hu Qingze couldn't help but shudder, and then asked cautiously: "Grandpa, what you mean is that there will be chaos in the world and dynasties will change, and that General Qin will have a bright future with military power in his hands?"
"Haha, God's will is unpredictable since ancient times. It is still unknown who will win in the end. However, with the ability of General Qin, he will definitely achieve great things in the future. At worst, he can dominate one side. Our Hu family will fight him in advance. A good relationship will definitely benefit you in the future, do you understand?"
"My grandson understands, thank you grandpa for teaching me!"
Hu Qingze nodded vigorously, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to deal with Qin Feng more in the future and work hard to establish a personal relationship.
A few years later, my family may be the hero of Conglong and shine in the annals of history. What a glory!
…
"Ze'er, what happened today must not come out of my mouth or into your ears. Do not let a third person know, otherwise it will lead to the destruction of our family. Remember, remember!"
"My grandson knows and will never say a word!"
