When the news reached Ji Heng's ears, Ji Heng was silent for a while before he said slowly: "It seems that the Zhu family intends to preserve their strength and advance by retreating, and this matter will end here." β
He thought that the Zhu family would only engage in some sideways things, and his brain was actually not easy to use, so he was plotted by others again and again, and quickly decayed to this point.
But now it seems that the Zhu family still has brains, and they have to be cautious and cautious to deal with this kind of guy who has both brains and evil arts.
The housekeeper said: "Master, how about buying Jianghu killers to rush into their house and put two more fires?" β
Just like the previous Zhu family's mansion was destroyed and set on fire, as long as there is no trace left, wouldn't it be very happy?
It seems that there are many enemies of the Zhu family, who can suspect the head of the Ji family at every turn?
Ji Heng shook his head: "If the matter is big, the emperor will definitely investigate, and the Zhu family now has the black family's tricks to defend themselves, and rash attacks will only backfire." Also, don't forget how evil the witchcraft of the Zhu family is, and you don't know what you will encounter if you break into it rashly. β
The reason why the Zhu family's mansion destroyed the door in the past was because the killers went with the consciousness of dying with the Zhu family, and without this awareness, they broke into the territory of the Zhu family, and there would be no good fruit to eat.
If nothing else, it's very troublesome to just talk about those legendary Gu worms, Gu poisons and the like.
The housekeeper thought for a while and nodded ashamedly: "What the master said is that the little one didn't think of these two layers at all." β
Ji Heng said: "The so-called poor Kou Mo chases, the Zhu family has suffered a great disaster, and now it is on the verge of collapse, if we are too anxious, we will inevitably be counterattacked by the Zhu family." The plan for the present is to wait and look for opportunities. β
The housekeeper said, "That's what the master said." It's just that I wish the concubine a son here, but we still have a ...... here."
"What if Concubine Guifei has a son?" Ji Heng sneered, "With the family's family, reputation and Zhu You's appearance and temperament, unless she is the only one who has a son, it will not be her turn to be the queen if she gives birth to a hundred sons." β
Let a witch with poor looks and temperament, only witchcraft and no talent, be the queen?
It's ridiculous just thinking about it.
This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen in Dashangguo, otherwise the royal family will become the laughing stock of the whole world, and it will also attract the unwillingness and dissatisfaction of the nobles and wealthy families, and intensify the fighting in the harem and the struggle in the court.
The housekeeper nodded again: "What the master said is very true, the reputation of this Wu family is indeed not very good, and the little one is too worried." β
Ji Heng said: "The Hei family is also impossible. Now, the only one who has a chance to compete with the Ji family is the Lan family. β
The housekeeper said: "But the Lan family is a merchant, and the merchant's daughter can achieve the position of a concubine, which is already the apex, right?" It's impossible to go to the next level, right? β
"That's how it should be." Ji Heng said, "But in order to solve this problem, the Lan family's family has slowly handed over the business and property under their name to the branch, side branches and other relatives and friends since the time when Lan Guifei gave birth to the dragon, and the family has gradually retreated into the background, constantly staying away from the word 'merchant'. At the same time, the men of the family tried to find a way to gain fame, and the women of the family also married princes and nobles, trying their best to get rid of the identity of 'merchants'. β
Not only that, the Lan family has rarely interacted with businessmen in recent years, constantly attracting and getting close to officials and nobles, and spending a lot of money to respond to the call of the imperial court to relieve the victims and support the imperial court's major projects. Today, there are several people in the Lan family who are officials in the court and in the army, although it is not yet a climate, but it also poses a certain threat to the Ji family. β
He has long been aware of the ambitions of the Lan family, and he is also secretly stumbling on the Lan family, preventing the Lan family from infiltrating the DPRK and the army, but the Lan family, as the richest man in the world, has a wide range of contacts that does not lose to him, and has a huge amount of funds to back him up, and Mrs. Lan is a shrewd and powerful figure, he can block it for a while, but he can't stop it for three or four times.
After hearing this, the housekeeper asked, "Then master, how should we deal with the Lan family?" β
Ji Heng's lips were filled with a scheming smile: "Birds die for food, people die for money, the Lan family puts such a huge business and industry out and hands it over to relatives and friends to take care of, you say, these people have such a huge wealth on hand, can they not be greedy?" People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, these people are now very strict by their own family, and they may not be able to move their hands and feet, but how can they be willing to be subject to their own family? β
Once a person who wants to be an official has the opportunity to be promoted, he will do whatever it takes.
In the same way, once a person who wants to make a fortune has the opportunity to make a fortune, he will do whatever it takes.
At the beginning, these people who were selected by the Lan family may really be loyal to the family and have no second thoughts, but after being in charge of big business and big wealth day after day, year after year, are they still willing to hand over the money they earn to the family and only act as a puppet who eats leftovers?
If there is no chance, they will definitely choose the benefits.
The housekeeper immediately understood what he meant: "Master, do you mean to start with the side branches and divisions of the Lan family who took over the business of the family, provoke and incite their greed, and make them have different intentions towards the family?" β
Ji Heng smiled: "That's right." As early as a few years ago, I secretly sent people to infiltrate the Lan family's business circle, or work hard for the Lan family, spy on the Lan family's business secrets, or unhurriedly woo and incite the Lan family's cronies, in the long run, the Lan family will definitely fall apart. β
The Lan family can be valued by the emperor, in the final analysis, it is a "money" word.
If there is chaos within the Lan family, profits are reduced, business losses are lost, and wealth is greatly reduced, or even reduced to the point that Cheng DΓΉ, who can no longer affect the economy of the whole Shangguo or the whole of Jiangnan, will the emperor still attach importance to the Lan family?
Without the backing of the Lan family, Concubine Lan still wants to be the queen, and she still wants the eldest prince to be the crown prince?
No way!
"But," said the butler, "the Lan family is so shrewd, didn't they count it as a matter of human wealth?" β
"Of course they thought of that." Ji Heng said meaningfully, "However, no matter how risky you are, you have to do it, this is true in business, and the same is true in officialdom." I don't want to gamble, I don't want to take risks, I just want to fight for power in peace and harmony, it's just a dream. β
The housekeeper was thoughtful.
Ji Heng has been a teacher and master for decades, and he is very accustomed to "teaching" others, especially when he thinks that others can teach, he is even more willing to give advice.
So he continued to instruct the butler, who had only followed him for more than ten years and was only in his thirties, with great potential: "The position of the queen and the crown prince is worth the risk of the Lan family. β
Don't talk about the Lan family, why not the Ji family?
That kind of power and glory is really worth paying a bit to fight for.
The housekeeper finally understood, and he was so impressed: "The old man is clever, and the small one is not only admired but also admired." β
Ji Heng smiled smugly: "Okay, you go down, I'm going to study the chess game." β
The most important thing now is to let Fu'er give birth to a prince quickly, he has already asked people to check and calculate, Fu'er is easy to give birth, if it is fast, maybe Fu'er may be happy for a while, he has to let people protect Fu'er.
At the same time, he has to make people look down on Lian'er, and he can't let Lian'er do stupid things again because of jealousy.
So, can he really manage a woman who is crazy about love?
