Since brother-in-law Su did not go to the Tianlao logistics to occupy a position, Chen Guanlou set his sights on the clan members. The benefits are naturally for my family. Establish a good relationship with the clan, and the clan will take care of the eldest sister's family and the eldest sister's three children accordingly. The eldest sister has three children, one girl and two boys! The marriage of the eldest daughter Rongrong will depend on the Chen family in the future, and even on the Marquis Mansion to help secure a good marriage. Rongrong studied in the Chen family clan and became more and more ladylike. With his uncle here, I will have to wear gold and silver and be a young mistress in the future, instead of being buried in the stove and being a yellow-faced woman. If the future of the two nephews cannot be determined through reading, whether they are looking for an errand in the yamen or doing business, they will have to rely on the Hou Mansion to be their backer. The maintenance of the relationship depends on helping each other year after year. The difficulty lies in the specific candidates. There are too many tribesmen!
Not to mention those of the same generation, the younger generation, and even those two generations away were all born. Only then did he realize that his seniority seemed to have risen a lot. When he goes out, others call him Uncle Lou. His peers all call him brother Lou, or just brother, regardless of the age difference. No one calls him Brother Lou anymore, except the eldest sister. The candidate must be smart and nimble but not cunning. An honest person cannot stand firm in the logistics field and will be tricked sooner or later. Brain hurts! After screening several times, no suitable candidate was selected. The main reason is that he is not very familiar with the younger members of the clan. As for brothers of the same generation, those who are capable are busy with errands and are working hard to make a bright future. Those who have no ability are all cunning and evil, and they may be stabbed in the back at any time. I originally wanted to ask the uncle of the clan for advice, but I was worried that the other party would use him as a favor. So, he decisively went to ask the chief steward for advice. With the current status of the big housekeeper, he doesn't care about Tianlao's logistics. His children and grandchildren have also determined that they will work in the Marquis Mansion life and death and will inherit his position in the future. There is no conflict of interest, at least there is no need to worry about the other party using him as a favor. The chief steward was very surprised when he learned of his purpose. "Sun Daoning is so anxious. Before Zuo Gong left the capital, he was so impatient that he reached out to the logistics department. Do you know how much allocation, how much food and grass is allocated to the Ministry of Punishment's logistics in a year?" "I don't know!" Chen Guanlou really didn't know. He couldn't even check the accounts. This was an absolute secret of the Ministry of Justice. No one can interfere unless you sit in that position. "Does your old man know?" The chief steward smiled and said, "The world only knows that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are very demanding of money, and spend millions of dollars every year. But they don't know that the Ministry of Punishment demands money, and they also give in more. And they use more food and grass to make up for it. I might as well tell you that the food on the market Shang, I estimate that 10% of the food comes from the Ministry of Punishment.” "So many?" Chen Guanlou was stunned, "This is impossible. Why didn't the Ministry of Household Affairs report it?" "The Ministry of Finance is engaged in this business, so how dare you say anything? There is a tacit understanding between the two yamen. All in all, the Ministry of Punishment has a lot of logistical support, which is beyond your imagination. It's just that it doesn't show off on weekdays, unlike the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. It's just so ugly. As for Tianlao's logistics, it was indeed lucrative. Just make an account and thousands of taels of silver would go into your personal pocket. Just grab some stuff from the warehouse and sell it, and you'll be able to eat a lot. Not to mention the lackeys of the powerful people in the capital who are worried about him, the feudal kings outside, especially the poor feudal princes, who don't care about him. Don't think that all the vassal kings in the world are like the King of Chu, with a big family and a big business. There are also many poor people. The Renzong Dynasty, together with the late emperor, suppressed the vassal kings and changed their fiefdoms for nearly a hundred years. Many wealthy places were taken back by the imperial court, and the incompetent vassals were moved to remote places in the mountains. The tax revenue for a year was not enough to cover expenses, and life was tight. We cannot exploit the people in the fiefdom too much. Once civil unrest is aroused, the imperial court will have reason to take back the fiefdom, which would be more loss than gain. "
After listening to the butler's words, Chen Guanlou re-understood the meaning of pie in the sky. Sun Daoning was so generous and gave him such a big pie. Could it be that if he wants to do something big later, he should be lured with benefits first and then wait for him to take the initiative to jump into the trap. If there really was a trap, he would have to jump for the sake of the pie. Lao Sun is loyal, he cannot be a shameless villain. As long as you don't fight with the Grandmaster, there is nothing in the world to be afraid of. He is king under the Grand Master. Just so confident. As for the old monster Wu Xun's reminder that the foundation was not solid, he was not in a hurry. He is now practicing "Ascension Record" step by step and continues to ponder the fifth chapter. There is no rush to improve one's realm at all. I don’t believe that in the long run, the foundation will not be solid. "Sun Daoning gave you a position. He is obviously very optimistic about you and his intention to win over you is very obvious. However, Sun Daoning comes from a poor family. The Sun family can only be regarded as a local power. Looking at the world, it is not ranked at all and cannot even enter the circle." Chen Guanlou:...... Silently rolled his eyes. "He wants to win over you. He probably wants to have a good relationship with the Hou Mansion." "Are you too narcissistic?" Chen Guanlou complained. The first steward chuckled, "Are you narcissistic? You don't go out much, your eyes are fixed on the capital, and you don't know the world outside the capital. Let me tell you this, even in the territory of the King of Chu, if you use the banner of the Hou Mansion, They can all go unimpeded. This is the card and reputation of the Hou Mansion. I tell you, there are as many people in the world who want to have a relationship with the Hou Mansion as there are crucian carp crossing the river. With just a few words from the big boss, an ordinary merchant can make a lot of money, be promoted to a big merchant, and merchants from all over the world can attend meetings together and become guests. You underestimate the influence of the Hou Mansion. As long as the Dagan Dynasty is in existence, the Marquisate will be powerful. Even if Dagan falls one day, the Marquisate may not fall. Do you know that if the gatekeeper of the Marquisate is released, he can easily become a fifth-rank official. Fifth-rank! How many imperial examination candidates cannot reach the fifth-rank in their lifetime. The eldest master is not in the capital now, and fewer people have come to ask for official positions in recent years. Everyone knows that the prince has a bad temper and is not easy to talk to, for fear of offending him. If the eldest master were in the capital, I can tell you that people who come to ask for official positions can flatten the threshold of the Marquisate, and if they can receive gifts, they will have to set aside three courtyards as warehouses. Even so, the people who come to the door disturb the prince. He was angry two days ago and asked the gatekeeper to screen carefully and not let anyone in. ” Chen Guanlou: … Another day of learning! He is so superficial! We are all frogs in the well. It’s just that his well is the capital. In the capital, everyone is looking at the direction of the palace. Who would care about the Marquis’ Mansion? Ignored, ignored! A typical case of being blind to the dark, ignoring things around. “You old man said so much, do you mean that the oil and water from the Tianlao logistics is acceptable or not?” “I don’t mean that. Who would complain about too much silver? Do you? I don’t complain either. You want to find someone from the clan to take the position, but the candidate is ready.” “Who?” “Tell me about Sun Daoning first!” Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the reading progress to be lost.
