When Qiao Lan heard him say this, she was very happy, and her face was a little more shy, and her face was a little hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info but refuses to say anything about it.

"Brother Huzi, if we do this business, won't we become a businessman when the time comes? Qiao Lan reminded.

There is no way that the status of merchants in this era is relatively low, and the status of farmers is second only to Shizi, which is still relatively high. Although they will be ridiculed or even bullied by the rich in ordinary times, but it is really true, such as the future official position and other key things, the status of the peasant is still very useful, and the peasant is admitted to the imperial examination as a poor man, which is the emperor's means of attracting talents in the imperial court, and it is also the foundation of the emperor.

And even if the rich are admitted to the imperial examination, they will be disliked by the family and the poor family, because the status is too low and they do not rely on both sides, and there will be more difficulties and obstacles to enter the court.

"No, our family's household registration is in Lijia Village, Daqingshan, the yamen has been reported, and our family has a lot of land, and we have planted some of it, and the other tenant species are serious farmers, and they don't change it indiscriminately. ”

"That's good, I heard that the three generations of merchants are not allowed to rely on the imperial examination, right?" Qiao Lan was not too familiar with the legal code here.

"Yes, it takes at least three generations, but even if it is three generations, it is difficult to take the test, and it is not so easy. ”

"I see. Qiao Lan nodded slightly, and it seemed that the information she had learned was about the same.

"If you want to make a difference, you also need to guide people, this is the benefit of the family, there are people in their family who are officials, and there are more ways and resources and contacts, which is accumulation. Isn't there a saying, it's called 'only three generations of officials know how to eat and wear', in fact, it is the essence. The cold family wins in the large number of people and the support of the emperor, and it is used to suppress the family and not to be bigger, because the emperor is also afraid that the family will become bigger, and the longer the family has existed, the deeper the family heritage is, and it is not a great thing to overthrow an emperor, and the replacement of the dynasty has little impact on them. I heard people say during the war that there is a family with very complicated rules, but there are many talented families in the Jiangnan area, and even if the governor goes, he has to give three points of face, you think about how such a family can not be feared. ”

The two of them gossiped without a match.

"What you said is that a golden phoenix flew out of the chicken nest when a farmer came out of a jinshi, but so what, according to what I read from the book, every year the officials who wait for the arrangement of official positions have to line up, where is the turn to get a poor student, there are so many pits you want to occupy and he wants to occupy, where is it so easy. Qiao Lan sighed, it was not easy for the cold family to come out.

"Yes, you see that the county magistrate is also Tanhualang, isn't it also from us to be the county magistrate, don't you look at our Daqing Mountain, which is not visible and does not leak, but we are a rich area, and ordinary people are not qualified to come." Those who came here were all capable of some ability, otherwise they would have been sent to the poor countryside long ago, and it would be so easy to figure out where the political achievements were. Someone has been a seven-grade sesame official all his life, this is all remarkable, at least he can sit firmly in his position, some people have been pit and downed in a few years, and the officials in Jiangnan are often beheaded. ”

"Really, I heard that Yangzhou is a gold cave, isn't that particularly prosperous?" Qiaolan has never been to Jiangnan here, and she is quite yearning, so it would be good to have a chance to see and see it.

"Well, there's everything, there's nothing you can't think of, there's nothing you can't find. The squires and rich families there are all in cahoots, quite powerful, even if the officials go, they may not buy your account, and then they will also produce salt, which can be said to be profitable, so the disputes are particularly crazy. "Chuanhu traveled south and north, and his knowledge was richer.

"Yes, profit makes people crazy. Qiao Lan has also heard of some of them.

"Is it worth salt over there?" Qiao Lan asked again.

"Yes, it's the salt introduction, you know how my family's money came from, part of it is the money that people gave back the favor at the beginning, and the other part is the salt introduction that I went to Jiangnan to get back and sell it to make money. In fact, the money I came back from the war was nothing left after I bought land and built a house, and then opened a grocery store, so I took the last bit of money and took a trip to Jiangnan on a cow's boat, which was the cow I knew at that time.

There was a robbery of the ship by the pirates, I took the hand to protect a businessman next to me, he is from Jiangnan, I heard that I came to Jiangnan to buy some groceries to sell back, introduced me to a few bosses, and then gave me a little salt to let me make money, but also to thank me for saving my life, if I hadn't saved him, he might have been hacked to death by the pirates. I came back with the salt lead, and I made some money selling it with my dad.

Later, the county government was recruited to arrest fast, my father said that reselling salt was like playing with fire, and he didn't let me get it anymore, so he let me do it fast, and the adults who had just taken office and lacked trust in the manpower, saw that I was good and the locals had fought in the war, and no one had anything to do with me, so they took me with me and used it. ”

Qiao Lan listened to her eyes without blinking, feeling like telling a story, it didn't sound very good, but it was very thrilling when you thought about it carefully, bandits, they can really kill, the legal system here is not as complete as modern times, and it's really hard to find someone to run away.

"Brother Huzi, you are really good, you dare to kill pirates, are they powerful?"

"It's okay, it's not as powerful as the Tartars, the Tartars are powerful, they are all perennial hunters, and they have an absolute advantage over us running on the ground like this. As soon as you go to the battlefield, you can see that they are particularly strong, and the momentum is terrifying to look at, killing you is like slaughtering cattle and sheep, which is not uncommon at all. We are indeed a little weaker than others, and the war horses are not as good as others. At the beginning, he suffered a lot, and many people couldn't come back when he went out once, and they fell down one by one, and they were drinking and eating meat together, and many people were not there when they went out. ”

Chuanhu talked about his experience of fighting, and his eyes were a little gloomy, like memories and painful, and his expression was very complicated and a little embarrassed.

"Yes, once you succeed, your bones will wither, and it will be God's mercy that you and your uncle can come back completely. Qiao Lan nodded approvingly, still admiring Chuanhu in her heart, fighting a war is a very hard and cruel thing no matter what era.

"Don't mention these unpleasant things, this time Niu Zi went to say that he would bring more goods back, if it was good, we could make a little more. Chuanhu shook his head and threw away the unpleasant things, and turned to the topic of happiness.

"Yes, Brother Huzi, I want to buy another such a better yard to keep, I wonder if my brother has little chance of returning to Lijia Village in the future, he was taught by Renhetang, most of them live here, sooner or later they have to buy a house, I have money in my hand and buy it first when I meet the right opportunity, and then my brother will make money and let him pay me back." But the good yard missed the opportunity, but there was no one. ”

Qiao Lan also mentioned Xuewu and thought about it, the mansion in Lijia Village is almost certain to be guarded by Xuewen in the future, and his father and mother must be following Xuewen to support the elderly, at most the two sons often run and live, but the pension is still in Lijia Village, which is the root.

"Cheng, this is a trivial matter, it's best to be closer to this yard, let him take care of it when we don't come to live, I think learning martial arts also needs a small guy or a janitor, it seems that it will slowly be purchased in the future, and the house is empty as soon as he goes out. Chuanhu also felt that some of them were going to be purchased, and they couldn't live all the time.

"Well, there's no hurry in this matter, take your time, I'll go back and discuss it with my father and ask my brother what he means. "Qiaolan is not good at being her brother's master casually, so she can only go home and ask.
