Faced with Sister Feng's stern look, Jia Lian simply chose to ignore it.

Although brothels are a big industry and they definitely make money, no one knows how many dirty and anti-human things happen behind this superficial business.

Now he doesn’t have the time or energy to get involved in this kind of industry. Unless one day when He Qing Haiyan also aspires to the pinnacle of power, he might be able to free up his hands to rectify and standardize this industry. industry.

But definitely not now.

Now, every serious thing he does and every step he takes is to prepare him for climbing to the top.

In comparison, making money is not that important.

Xue Pan was scolded by Aunt Xue and seemed to realize that what he just said was inappropriate, so he smiled and pretended to have a drink.

On the other hand, Baochai knew that as Jia Lian, there was really no need to do business as a merchant.

The Jia family is different from the Xue family. The main wealth of the Jia family is the hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in the two houses combined. For a noble family member like the Jia family, being a landlord is the right path. Interfering in business affairs is not a praiseworthy thing.

If it is to earn wealth, the grain store does not seem to be a good choice, so Baochai asked: "I think the purpose of setting up a grain store is not for the purpose of making money." Make money.

If Brother Lian really has this idea, I have two suggestions for you, Brother Lian and Sister Feng."

No one expected that Baochai actually Knowing how to speak, everyone here basically agreed that although Baochai was young, he was a steady person who would never speak easily if it didn't concern himself, and he knew how to hide his foolishness and guard his clumsiness.

So much so that when Jia Lian heard what Baochai said, he became more solemn and explained: "Sister Baochai is right. One of the reasons why I want to set up a grain store is because of the previous I opened a restaurant, focusing on the resale of famous wines from all over the country. After a few years, the profits were pretty good.

So, I intend to expand the scale of the restaurant and set up a winery, mainly producing several types of wine. Highly distilled liquor, form your own industrial brand and improve the supply chain of the restaurant to prevent being controlled by others.

And brewing requires food, so I thought of setting up a grain store to solve the problem of brewing. The problem of raw materials.

Of course, these are only secondary reasons. The most important reason is that food is the foundation of all peoples in the world.

Open the history books and you will find that When major disasters come to the world, there will always be businessmen who hoard and focus on making money without caring about the livelihood of the people, making it even more difficult for the people. At that time, relying solely on the imperial court and the government to intervene will probablyToo weak to do anything.

So, I thought that in my lifetime, within my ability, I could one day open the Jia family grain store throughout the territory of the Wei Dynasty. In the year when the weather is good and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, The grain produced by the people makes money, and in years of calamity, they can open warehouses to help the government help the people's livelihood. "

Jia Lian said these words to Baochai. At this point, he looked at Baochai deeply, and then added: "Of course, this is just me. The ministers of the Wei Dynasty wanted to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Wei Dynasty.

Although I may not be able to achieve that situation in my life, the sage said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as I try from now on, maybe one day I will achieve it? Even if I can't do it myself, I can encourage future generations to carry on my legacy.

I think that as long as my ambition persists, one day I, Jia's Grain Store, will be able to do something useful for the people of this land. ”

At this moment, if Xue Biao were here, he would definitely rise up and sigh deeply that Jia Lian would not deceive him.

Because if it is according to what Jia Lian said, he can really If we do that, wouldn't it be a way to achieve the grand ambition of benefiting the world in the way of merchants?

Although Xue Biao is not here, the four or five people here, except Sister Feng, are all It comes from the Xue family, a century-old imperial merchant.

Therefore, even the dullest Xue Pan couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing what Jia Lian said, feeling that Jia Lian's image in his eyes He is getting taller and taller.

As expected, things are different for me. I was born in a family of imperial merchants. I have always known that merchants can make money, and it is always because merchants are not respected by the world, which leads to his death. My status is far inferior to that of the Jia family and other noble families, so I regret it.

I never thought that doing business can be connected with the achievements of the family, the country, the world, and the people's livelihood!

br />
Damn, it’s really amazing.

I wonder what business people are doing? But it was Jia Lian who said this. Looking at his confident words, Xue Pan felt that only Jia Lian could do this kind of thing.
< br /> Xue Pan is like this, let alone others.

Sister Feng also wanted to laugh and refute at the beginning, but became Nuonuo speechless, and in the end she was even a little relieved and proud.
/>
Sure enough, this is my man, he is so different and has great ambitions. He can even talk about running a grain business in such a high-sounding way that people can’t help but respect him.

SheI even suddenly felt that I should strongly support Jia Lian in doing this.

It was not all to realize Jia Lian’s ambition, but she remembered that Jia Lian still held a large amount of the Lin family’s inheritance in his hands!

Jia Lian could give her ten boxes of gold, worth three hundred and forty thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid he would have much more left in his hands.

Rather than leaving the money in his hands and letting him spend it in a drunken manner, it would be better to use it to do this kind of business. Look at what he said, if he still wants to open food stores all over the Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid that no matter how much money he spends, it will be completely wasted, which is quite good.

The key is that after the money is spent, the property is still there, and we can legitimately turn the Lin family's property into our Jia family's.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng couldn’t help but wonder, did Jia Lian have this intention?

If this was the case, she felt that Jia Lian was quite shady. On the surface, he spoke so righteously, and no one could have any idea of ​​Sister Lin’s dowry and his future son’s family property. In fact, she I couldn't help but make the first move.

However, it seemed to her that it was pretty good.

No big deal, just be nice to Lin Yatou from now on.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng’s grudge against Daiyu was finally eliminated slowly and unknowingly.

Originally, just letting Jia Lian marry a noble concubine can increase the family's property to hundreds of thousands and nearly millions out of thin air. Who wouldn't be happy about it?

Moreover, that little girl Daiyu was so harmless when she was born. Even if she gave birth to a son, she would still be adopted back to the Lin family, which was very good.

It has to be said that Sister Feng’s calculations of wealth are really quite accurate. Even though Jia Lian has never told her the details, she still made a rough guess about the total wealth of the Lin family. .

But she never imagined that, to Jia Lian at this time, the Lin family's property was just a small amount.

Except for using it to deceive others, Jia Lian will definitely not misappropriate it unless absolutely necessary.

The calculation of each other's bargaining chips was quite different. Sister Feng was destined to be unable to control Jia Lian's actions.

Speaking of Aunt Xue and her daughter, after hearing Jia Lian’s words, they felt refreshed.

Aunt Xue was fine, but she felt that Jia Lian was indeed a person trusted by the emperor, and her considerations were different from those of ordinary people.

Moreover, just listening to what Jia Lian said about "brands" and "industry chains", she didn't quite understand, but she always felt that the concepts were very reasonable. She felt that if Jia Lian If you get involved in business, you will definitely succeed.

But for Baochai,It's much more than that.

Although Baochai had realized before that Jia Lian did not set up the grain bank to make money, but had his own plans, she still did not expect that Jia Lian would reach such a state and height that, listening to It all sounds a bit unrealistic and feels like a castle in the air.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that what Jia Lian said is not without purpose, but has traces to follow and conditions for its realization.

In times of peace, you make money with the people’s food; in times of great disaster, you use the people’s food to help the people. What kind of ambition and plan is this?

Although this matter sounds difficult to operate, if he really succeeds in it, wouldn’t it be a great achievement that will be remembered for generations to come?

By then, won’t fame and profit be easily available?

The ambition of harvesting people’s hearts by providing relief to the world and raising hopes for oneself makes Baochai’s heart tremble even if he thinks about it.

Is this really possible for a minister?

Thinking of the danger, Baochai felt that she hoped she was overthinking. But facing Jia Lian's gaze, she felt keenly that what Jia Lian said to them might not be entirely true. She was afraid that there were some inconvenient considerations in it that he kept silent.

This was just something I accidentally overheard today that Brother De Lian was planning. Behind his back, there were Brother Lian's plans that he and others didn't know about. How many of them were enough to surprise and shock him?

Second brother Lian, is he really only twenty-one years old?

Baochai felt that she had always thought highly of Jia Lian and thought he was a rare man in the world. At this time, I realized that my vision may still be low. Jia Lian's level was definitely difficult to reach even for the current prime minister and minister.

I really don’t know how far Brother Lian will go as time passes!

Isn’t such a character the image of a husband that I have longed for and imagined since I was sensible?

It’s a pity that I was born a few years late, so I was destined to miss it.

I am already in my prime, and if I give up running for the second time, I am afraid that in two or three years, I will choose a husband to marry, and from then on I will take care of my husband and raise my children.

She also doesn’t know what her future husband will be like. His character, mind and ambition are almost as good as those of Lian’s second brother...

In a daze, she heard her mother calling her and answered. When she came to her senses, she saw Aunt Xue saying to her: "Bao girl, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you had a proposal for your second brother Lian and sister Feng to refer to? Why are you so stunned?"

When Baochai heard this, she turned around and saw Jia Lian looking at her, as if listening.

Think of what you have just doneThinking about it, and the embarrassment at this time, Baochai lowered his head in shame, thought for a moment, and then said: "The thoughts and considerations of the second brother Lian are admirable.

With the intelligence of the second brother Lian, I am afraid that I have been thinking about it for a long time, but just now I have spoken rashly, which is really hasty."

"Sister Baochai is overly worried. As the saying goes, one person is short-term and two people are wrong, and besides, I know that little sister Baochai is knowledgeable and insightful. You are extraordinary, but I hope you will give me some advice."

Jia Lian's humble and gentle words made Baochai feel respected.

But he couldn’t be polite to Jia Lian anymore and said bluntly: “Second brother Lian wants to set up a grain store, but he is also worried that he does not have talents who are knowledgeable in this field. In this regard, I have two things that I can’t do. Insightful views.

First, if Brother Lian only wants talents who are proficient in this field, there must be some people who have worked in the grain store among the clerks and shopkeepers of our Xue family. . If Brother Lian doesn’t dislike it, we are willing to select capable people among them and transfer them to the capital for Brother Lian’s dispatch."

When Jia Lian heard this, he nodded and smiled: "If so, It can solve my urgent need, but I'm afraid it will be too troublesome for you."

Aunt Xue on the side quickly said that it was okay, saying that Jia Lian had helped the Xue family so much, and it was time to repay the favor.

Baochai also said: "Trouble is not a problem. However, given that Brother Lian holds several positions in the court, I am afraid it is difficult to have too much time and energy to create something from scratch. Build a grain store bit by bit.

Therefore, I boldly suggested that Brother Lian might as well choose a suitable one among the grain stores in Beijing and directly invest in it.

If this matter can be done, I think it can save Brother Lian a lot of time and avoid some troubles.

Of course, if Brother Lian has other considerations, just treat him like a younger sister. It's nonsense."

Baochai said it politely, but Jia Lian listened carefully.

Then Jia Lian couldn't help but nod. She was indeed the "Sister Bao" who had helped Aunt Xue handle the family business since she was a child. She indeed had clear views on the way of doing business.

What Baochai means is that if Jia Lian wants to run a grain store from scratch, the Xue family can help provide relevant shopkeepers and clerks.

However, Baochai still suggested to directly acquire a grain store, thus eliminating the time of preliminary preparation and avoiding trouble.

After all, the Jia family has never done anything in the grain business, so if they intervene out of thin air, there will definitely be many unexpected difficulties. For example, the exclusion of peers, such as manpower, warehousing, and food sources, all need to be prepared from scratch, and any link can be choked and cause trouble.

But if it is directAcquiring an original grain store, even one that is in decline, can effectively avoid these problems.

In fact, he is not afraid of trouble Jia Lian. After all, with his current momentum, he is just running a grain store. Who would be determined to go against him?

But Jia Lian attaches great importance to the fact that it can greatly reduce time.

For him, time is the most precious thing. After all, time waits for no one, and Xue Baochai is already old. If he slows down, he may not be able to drink the soup.

Of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, although Jia Lian is only twenty-one and looks very young, he has too many things he wants to do.

If you can save some time in the early stage, you will be more certain of success in the end.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian could not help but look at Baochai with more appreciation.

I thought that being able to marry this woman would be a great blessing for a man.

She is beautiful, has a beautiful heart, and can complement a man’s career. It is perfect.

After Baochai finished speaking his opinion, he observed Jia Lian's reaction. After noticing that Jia Lian was suddenly enlightened, he actually looked at her with an undisguised expression of appreciation.

Even though Jia Lian paid attention to her inner happiness, her shyness as a daughter still made her look away in shame.

Sister Feng looked at Baochai and then at Jia Lian, her brows were furrowed, she couldn't help coughing, and laughed loudly: "I think what Sister Baochai said is right, why bother yourself?" It makes sense to just spend the money to buy a grain store without taking the trouble to do it. With the manpower and the place to store grain, it will be easy even if you want to make a new change later."

Jia Lian also nodded in agreement: "Sister Baochai's words really reminded me. Brother Yu would like to thank you." He sincerely raised his wine glass and saluted Baochai from afar. Baochai stood up quickly, bowed with extremely standard etiquette, and then drank with him.

When Aunt Xue saw this, she hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
