Chapter 349: Winning a Thousand Miles

Time flies back to eight years ago, a year before this life and death dart, Zhao Dongjia did not let his family decide to have a son before departure, which is a strong stroke in the whole drama - choosing a wife.

The villagers knew that whoever became the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was likely to be widowed for the rest of their lives, but they valued the righteousness of the Zhao family and were willing to send their daughters. A year later, this selected woman gave birth to a baby boy for the Zhao family, but she died in childbirth, and left a sentence before she died: Life is born, and I will die when I die.

After seven years of leaving the Zhao family, the business was scattered, the family property was gone, the son died, and the Zhao family was completely defeated!

When modern people ask Zhao Dongjia, you see the Zhao family's current decline, if you know that this will be the result, will you still leave?

Although Zhao Dangjia was sad, he replied firmly - he still has to go!

At that moment, Johnson finally understood that this was the righteousness of Jin Shang.

But is it worth the righteousness that is exchanged for the destruction of the whole family?

Isn't it silly to watch it at the value of the present?

But on the other hand, the shopkeeper Wang's family was also killed for the owner. At that time, the trust between the shopkeeper and the proprietor may not be understandable to people today.

Although they are businessmen, neither of them calculates their own gains and losses, they are just doing what they believe in the right thing, they are just taking their own responsibilities, and a shrewd businessman may try his best to do things thoughtfully and safely, but he does not calculate.

At the end of the story, the descendants of the Wang family leave this monologue: "What is your surname? Where are you from? What did your ancestors do? Do you know your background?"

Do you remember the names of your grandfather and grandfather? Will they give up their wealth to raise you? Will there be such a thrilling story in your veins?

Would you be proud of your last name?

Will you be proud to be a descendant of the Chinese nation?

Everyone has a surname and an ancestor. Do we also want to go back in time, follow our roots, and see where we came from?

In this era of rampant materialism and lack of integrity, can we exchange our loyalty and faithfulness?

Will you be like the protagonist in the story who gives everything he has until he gives his life without regrets?

SC Johnson was deeply shocked and truly felt what it is: a promise of a thousand gold!

I didn't expect the ancient city to be so charming, leaving Pingyao, I drove to the Qiaojia compound not far away, and saw what moving stories there were here?

I heard that the relationship between the Qiao family is too complicated, and you have to find a tour guide to understand. Before entering the gate, there is a group of sculptures, just in front of the visitor center, are the statues of Qiao Guifa, the originator of the Qiao family, and his wife, as well as the three sons Qiao Quanmei, Qiao Quanyi, and Qiao Quande.

With the popularity of the TV series, a Qiao Zhiyong became popular, and the high tickets for Qiao's compound were given by him. He has been a talented man and has a deep foundation of cultural knowledge, because his brother Qiao Zhiguang died of illness, and his family business was uncharged, so he abandoned his business to engage in business.

It is precisely because of his profound Confucian skills that the Qiao family has become a wealthy family for five generations, rich and expensive, that is, rich and educated, without a trace of nouveau riche. The Qiao family has been rich for five generations and has an absolute relationship with Qiao Zhiyong. If it weren't for history and the times, the sixth generation would have been rich.

Qiao's three treasures, the first one in the main house is called the rhinoceros moon mirror, carved from Southeast Asian iron pear wood, for two hundred years, the mirror image is clear, and the structure is perfect.

What's even more amazing is the 10,000-person ball hanging on the ceiling of the east wing, no matter how many people are in the room, no matter which angle they stand at, they can find themselves in the mirror, and the image is very clear and will not be deformed.

At that time, Master Qiao hung it outside the window of the main house, and often discussed business matters with the shopkeeper to prevent anyone from eavesdropping outside, and he could see it at a glance.

Looking up at the plaque on the gate of the four big characters of Fu Lang Huan, when Cixi fled westward and passed here, the Qiao family gave 300,000 taels of silver to relieve the urgent need for coal, and afterwards Ding Baoquan, the governor of Shanxi, was presented by Cixi.

On both sides of the gate, there is also a pair of copper plate couplets given by Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang. The Baishou map was drawn by Zuo Zongtang, the Minister of Military Aircraft at that time, good guy, who dares to think carefully about this kind of network background?

The threshold of all compounds should be crossed with high and noble feet, because the high threshold gathers wealth, and can only be stepped on, for fear of stepping on the talent. There are also noble sons from high families, and I hope that the Qiao family will be noble sons. In fact, the rule that you can't step on the threshold is the same everywhere, temples and palaces.

The Qiao family admires Johnson the most is that they don't use girls, only old mothers. It may be that in view of the fact that many official eunuchs and rich rooms often take the maid as a side room, or the young master plays with the maid irresponsibly, which not only violates yin morality, but also damages the innocence of other girls, so the Qiao family only uses poor women over 40 years old.

Many men over the age of seven must dine together, one is to maintain friendship and harmony between the uncles, the other is to discuss and decide internal and external matters at the dinner table, and the third is to let the younger learn the etiquette rules and precautions at the dinner table from the elders as early as possible.

The elderly are not allowed to move the chopsticks if they are not together, the elders are not allowed to shirk the vegetables for the young, they are not allowed to lean over to take the vegetables, they are not allowed to throw them, and they are not allowed to take leftovers in an appropriate amount.

Two meals a day, each person has a special blue smock, must wash hands before meals, rinse mouth after meals, avoid talking too much during meals, and discuss after meals, each meal takes one hour.

Treat people well, especially the chef, who is innocent and skilled as the master chef of the hotel, plus the reward of the guests, can get 200 taels of silver every year, so the chefs who go out here disdain to work elsewhere, and serve for life until they return home.

Haircuts must be given twice a month, bathing three times, and kitchen utensils must be kept clean and tidy at all times. The chef is divided into three categories: seafood, meat and noodles, each with its own unique skills.

The corners of the kitchen are big vinegar jars, which is the embodiment of the thick foundation of Shanxi people at that time, with a lot of grain, home-brewed vinegar.

Has an expert estimated how much money the Qiao family has?

In that year, Qiao Zhiyong added Fusheng Quan and Fusheng West through independent capital. It is said that the Qing Dynasty formed the famous Beiyang New Army, about 70,000 people, as well as various equipment cannons, and the annual maintenance and maintenance of these weapons, as well as the renewal of these weapons are a huge expense.

At that time, a soldier's salary was five taels of silver, and all the miscellaneous items were calculated, and the silver consumed by this new army was only 6 million taels, and this figure was only one-sixth of the Qiao family's wealth.

The more I look at it, the more I admire, hundreds of people play the family, and its large and small stores have more than 100 ticket numbers, distributed all over the country.

The owner only relies on a few words, and he has to decide directly, which is the decisive victory thousands of miles away!
