After Shang Shigong guessed some of them, he didn't dare to continue to think about it, but he became more and more jealous of the emperor in his heart. He knew that the emperor must attach great importance to the iron ore in Wutu Mountain, so he acted more and more cautiously on weekdays, for fear that the emperor would be too suspicious and think that he had thoughts about the iron ore in Wutu Mountain.

Fortunately, not many people knew about the iron mine, and all the soldiers who were brought to Wutu Mountain by General Chen were stationed on the mountain and never came down. And the entire business, he is the only one who knows about the iron ore. Although it was Shang Jinxiu who told him about the iron mine at the beginning, Shang Shigong felt that Shang Jinxiu, a child, must not know anything.

Therefore, he is not worried that the news of the iron ore will leak out of his hands. From now on, he will completely forget about this incident and forget about Wutu Mountain.

The dark tide of the capital is surging, and the merchant does not know and care. The previous turmoil has passed, and because of the need to dispose of the Gu family's industry, Qingzhou City is lively again.

Because of the previous disposal of a lot of troublemakers, although Qingzhou City is now lively, but very stable, only occasionally people talk about the He family, those rumors about the merit of the businessman, but no one mentions it anymore. At least, no one dared to mention it explicitly.

Gu Yunhai can become the richest man in Qingzhou, and he naturally has a lot of industries in his hands. It's a pity that all the industries that are being investigated and dealt with now are the industries on the bright side of the ancient family, but they can't be found out in the dark.

Since the accident of the Gu family, all these superficial properties have been seized. After the verdict was handed down, the properties began to be auctioned publicly. The silver obtained from the auction will be directly returned to the national treasury.

The Gu family has a lot of properties, such as granges, shops, real estate, goods, and treasures and antiques, and the auction lasted for three full days before it ended. Shang Jinxiu took a fancy to a tea mountain of the ancient family. After hesitation, she still chose to shoot it. As for the rest. Although she was somewhat interested, she did not shoot again.

After all, the tree is a big wind. Shang Shigong was hacked once not long ago, so she better be careful. Over the years, the shop in her hand has actually made a lot of money, but the merchant is still cautious and does not deliberately show her wealth, for fear of being remembered.

After all, Shang Shigong has an official position, and if he has more assets, he will inevitably be targeted. The merchant is not a big family, and he has no ability to deter people at all, once he is targeted. It's hard to even protect yourself.

This time the incident also reminded Shang Jinxiu, she was still too weak at this time, and the merchant was still too small, in the eyes of those behemoths of the family, it was no different from an ant that could be twisted to death casually!

It's a pity that the world system is relatively perfect, and the imperial court has very strict control over private forces, and there are strict restrictions on the number of private forces. Only those families or nobles were eligible to support private armies, and even then, there were strict rules on the size of private armies. If the violation is discovered. The rendezvous was punished very severely.

Iron and salt were all in the hands of the imperial court, and there were very few iron tools circulating in the market. It is a felony to open an iron mine privately, and without an iron mine, how can you forge weapons?

Shang Jinxiu was not unmoved when he first discovered the Wutu Mountain Iron Mine. But a small business, where can it resist iron ore? Only those of great families will be allowed to own a small piece of iron ore.

Of course. This permission was not actually allowed by the emperor, and he had long thought about how to take back these iron ores. That's going to happen. It is nothing but the result of a compromise between the forces of all sides. The power of those big families is already big enough, and having iron ore is equivalent to having weapons. The power will only be greater, this is not what the emperor wants to see, but he is helpless at this time.

Although Shang Jinxiu couldn't guess the specific twists and turns, he also understood that as an emperor, he would definitely not like the iron ore in the hands of the family. This time, the emperor kept the matter of the Wutu Mountain Iron Mine alive, and he was also worried that after the news spread, it would be divided by those big families.

The management of this world is too strict, and in those time-traveling novels, the protagonist has established his own power in a big way, and Shang Jinxiu can only think about it. As for opening a brothel and setting up an intelligence network in the novel, Shang Jinxiu never thought about it. She didn't have any idea about those special workers, but opening a brothel meant forcing her to become a prostitute, and she hated it.

Don't say that everyone is voluntary, it's simply unrealistic to let them pick up customers or something according to their own will! As a lowly status, the status of a prostitute is low, and it is whimsical to do whatever she wants!

Besides, brothels are all officially opened, and unofficial, that is, private squatters and secret prostitutes, and those caught will be severely punished.

However, this way is not working, but you can think of other ways to subtly brainwash people a little. For example, do more charity, and sponsor more poor but capable students, once these people become officials in the future, it will be the help of businessmen!

When Shang Jinxiu was thinking about this, Shang Shigong was also thinking about similar things. He was really scared, and there were rumors that time were rampant, but there were not many people who believed him. Shang Shigong felt a chill, and at the same time realized that it was time to cultivate his own power.

He has no background, but which of those big families didn't survive the hard days at the beginning? He could not be protected by his ancestors, but he could not let his children and grandchildren be like him.

As a result, Shang Jinxiu has not yet moved, and Shang Shigong has already taken action. He went to almost every big academy in Qingzhou, called to inspect the situation, to see the facilities and conditions of the academy, but in fact, he went to hook up with the outstanding students inside.

For the visit of Shang Shigong, the masters of the academy naturally welcomed it. Of course, if the merchant was willing to allocate some money for the construction of the academy, they would have welcomed it even more. The students were even happier, after all, Shang Shigong was the prefect of Qingzhou, and he was appreciated by the emperor, as long as he was willing to help, wouldn't they be able to go further?

As a result, most of the students subconsciously started to work as a businessman. The rest of the people who are arrogant and noble disdain it. Shang Shigong felt that it was not possible to go on like this, he was here to recruit henchmen, not to be used as a ladder for others.

So he consulted with his master and held a discussion on the scriptures, and everyone exchanged and discussed together. In this way, not only can the distance between the two sides be shortened, and the students can see the two pounds, but also let the other party understand that he is a prefect with real talent and ability, and appreciate his personal charm.

As long as you appreciate each other, you can naturally be more sincere in your relationship, not just a simple use. Shang Shigong didn't mind helping, but he didn't want to be used as a ladder for people in vain and be stepped on to climb up.

After completing several large academies in Qingzhou, he has taken a fancy to many knowledgeable students, and is ready to take more care of them in the future and take them as henchmen.

Shang Jinxiu was a little girl, and it was impossible for her to visit the Great Academy like Shang Shigong, so she changed her direction and suggested that Li Shuhua open a family study. Ethnography is a place for the children of the family to study. Larger families will open it, and this kind of genealogy will not only accept the children of the family, but also some children from outside. However, if outsiders want to come in and study, the conditions will be very high.

This is an excellent means to gather people's hearts and cultivate henchmen, and large families like to use it.

The merchant is a small household, and the number of people is thin, so naturally he did not open a clan study, but only invited the master to teach Shang Jin'an. Now, it is possible to open one in order to cultivate henchmen.

Li Shuhua couldn't do this alone, and told Shang Shigong again. Shang Shigong has been thinking about this matter recently, so naturally he will not refuse, and the matter of opening a clan school has been decided.

Shang Jinxiu and Li Shuhua deliberately chose a big mansion, and after some decoration, it became the merchant's family school. Because it is my own ethnology, I am much more comfortable with how to teach children. Shang Jinxiu wants to use this ethnography to cultivate henchmen and talents, and the direction of education is oriented to diversification, not just the pursuit of official careers.

When she proposed this idea to Shang Shigong, Shang Shigong thought about it and agreed. Although he felt that Shang Jinxiu was a little whimsical, after all, she was his baby daughter, and the clan study was Shang Jinxiu's own funding, as long as she didn't lead people crookedly, she could teach Shang Jinxiu as she wanted.

Shang Jinxiu got his permission and began to recruit his master. Because the teaching content is diversified, the master is no longer just a matter of knowledge, but also needs to have professional talents.

After thinking about it, she went to visit Li Guangcai and asked him to be her master. As soon as this request was made, Li Guangcai's jaw dropped.

He coughed lightly, looked at Shang Jinxiu quite embarrassedly, and couldn't help but secretly wonder if Shang Jinxiu was deliberately trying to embarrass him. He is just a businessman, he can recognize a few words at most, and he can't even memorize an article, how can he be a master? Isn't that a joke!

Shang Jinxiu smiled slightly, she had already guessed that Li Guangcai would definitely be surprised. At this time, the students studied all the sage books, but there were no special studies to make money. Although the status of businessmen has been improved compared to the past, they are still despised by cultural people.

Shang Jinxiu thinks that this is the psychology of not being able to eat grapes and sour grapes. Even if a cultural person enters the official career, the annual income is pitiful. Those who have no career in office, even if they have subsidies from the imperial court, live a very poor life. Even if you take refuge in a big family and become a staff member, and occasionally get some rewards, how much can you have?

But those big merchants can't write splendid articles, but they can make a lot of money and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, can they not be jealous?

However, Shang Jinxiu didn't care. What these people want to think is their business, she is now opening a family study, she simply wants to cultivate her henchmen, and if she chooses her, she will inevitably cultivate it well, and she doesn't bother to care about those who don't want to choose.

Shang Jinxiu walked over and hugged Li Guangcai and coquettishly said, "Grandpa, you agreed, right?" I don't want you to teach them how to write articles, or teach them how to make money, this is your specialty, and you can definitely do it! ”

Li Guangcai understood, and he suddenly realized: "Do you want them to be my apprentice?" Will they be willing to learn, though? Moreover, you are not afraid that they will cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future? (To be continued......)
