This night, Lin Yang and Luo Wan talked a lot, and learned that the three major families had completely monopolized the garment industry in Jinling, and he was also in a dilemma: "The three major industries of clothing and food, the two industries of clothing and food are the best to get involved in. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yang got up to freshen up, and he was going to go to the three major families to see if he could find an opportunity.

In the south of the old city, Jinling is mainly inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, especially in the Laomen East District.

Laomen is adjacent to the Confucius Temple in the east, and it is only three or four miles away from the Qinhuai River.

Although Luo Wan's small building is not in the old east gate, it is also in the corner of the south of the old city, and it is even closer to the Qinhuai River than the east of the old gate, which is why he can go to the Qinhuai River one step ahead.

"Big brother, are you going out?" When I came downstairs, I saw Luo Wan busy in the kitchen, and when she saw him, Luo Wan immediately put down her work and walked up.

"Big brother, go to Laomendong to have a look!" Lin Yang didn't hide it and said with a smile, Luo Wan instantly understood when she heard the words, so she hurriedly walked back to the kitchen, took two freshly baked and hot cakes and handed them to him: "Big brother, this is Wan'er's freshly baked cake, you take it and eat it on the road, don't be hungry." ”

"I'm hungry, thank you Wan'er!" Lin Yang took the cake and took a bite, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "I don't know who has this blessing in the future, and can marry the gentle and virtuous Wan'er home." ”

Hearing Brother Lin's ridiculous words, Luo Wan's cheeks flushed, the gloom in her beautiful eyes flashed, and she smiled and said: "Big brother is here, you can go to the Li Mansion, the three major cloth merchants, the Li family is the largest, and the garment industry is also the most mature, it just so happens that recently, the Li family seems to have encountered some difficulties and is seeking cooperation, big brother, didn't you say that if you want to enter the big family, the Li family is the best." ”

"Okay, thank you Wan'er, I'm leaving!"

Lin Yang was wearing the clothes sewn by Luo Wan, slowly disappearing into the early morning mist, watching the eldest brother leave, the smile on Luo Wan's face was retracted, and he was indescribably sad, but he immediately became firm again.

Along the way, the courtyard became more and more magnificent, so that Lin Yang could not sigh with emotion, if it was a later generation, the location of Luo Wan's house would definitely be a prosperous location.

In this section of the old East Gate, the Gaomen family gathers, and the courtyards of the mansion stand in a forest, giving people a solemn and magnificent atmosphere.

If in the later generations, these courtyards can still be preserved, they must be scenic spots that can be rated, just like the Jinling of the world where Lin Yang is located, the old east gate is also a place of interest, and the Confucius Temple Egret Island is a good place to travel in later generations.

Along the way, Lin Yang felt as if his soul had been washed, although it was not as good as the city with high-rise buildings, but the comparison between the rich was still not weak.

At ten o'clock in the morning, only the maids and maids of the Gaomen clan were active, and they changed the red candles that burned all night, sprinkled and swept the courtyard, cleaned the stone lions, opened the gate, and made all preparations for the master's house.

Occasionally, I saw one or two family sons, holding books early and rushing to the direction of Confucius Temple.

Confucius Temple was built in the previous dynasty, it was the original Jiangsu school politics, in order to promote the learning atmosphere, for the country to cultivate good governance for the main purpose, at first there was only the school palace, located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and then there was respect for Confucius, next to the school palace to build the Confucius Temple, incense offerings, aimed at allowing students to learn the sages, but all foreign students must be Parkway, so far the incense is prosperous.

In the Xia Dynasty, the status of women was low, and all those who studied must first recruit Xixi, teach at home, and major in women's training, while men all went to the school palace to study the study of the country and the world, each with its own emphasis.

Of course, although the school palace is large, there are many requirements, and the examination is strict, and the tuition fee is huge, only the wealthy families can afford it, and ordinary students can only go to the general academy to study.

Because the examination is extremely difficult and the competition is particularly fierce, many children of the aristocracy are difficult to pass the examination of the school palace, but they disdain the ordinary academy, so they take the initiative to recruit Xixi, especially the famous Mr. Xixi, and hire them with a lot of money.

Along the way, Lin Yang saw more than one, hanging out a curtain for recruiting Xixi, and the price ranged from dozens of taels of silver to hundreds of taels of silver, which shows that Mr. is in demand in this era.

Wealthy nobles, valuing the pattern of feng shui, close to the middle of the old East Gate, the more the atmosphere of the big family, almost all of them are compared, and the construction of the mansion seems to be unwilling to be left behind.

However, the mansions of those officials are a little low-key, and the specifications of the mansions of officials in the Xia Dynasty are stipulated by law, although they can be expanded, but there are also specifications restrictions.

However, many merchants, ancient scholars, mansions were built, exquisite, and often compared with the official eunuch family.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, if there are businessmen who are recruited, there is no restriction on official positions, and they can be expanded according to the law, and they will not be counted in the review.

The best example is Yin Nangong Wang, the capital of Jinling Mansion, the Nangong family has been an official for generations, and he also controls a large number of cloth business, and the construction of the Nangong Mansion is magnificent, even surpassing the mansion of Su Lun, the governor of Jiangsu.

On this street, the only one who can suppress it is the Li family, who continued the previous dynasty, and the Li family has been in business for generations, and the cloth and garment business occupies a fifty percent share of the entire southern market, and is a well-deserved leader.

occupied the position of president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce for a full forty years, even during the civil strife, the Li family has been standing until the Hong family has sprung up, with better dyeing, and has obtained two imperial merchants, and it will not be able to replace the Li family as the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, the talent of the Li family is withering, and in this generation, it is not prosperous, there are still differences within the Li family, and the head of the family has only given birth to one daughter and one son so far, compared to the other line, three sons and one daughter, in an absolute disadvantage.

Li Youwei, the eldest lady of the Li family, is known as a talented woman, and is among the four talented women in Jinling, and Su Hanlian of the Su family, Hong Yinglan of the Hong family, and Liu of Qin Yage.

It's just that unlike the other girls, Li Youwei and Liu Ruyi, one was born in a businessman's family, and the other was reduced to the dust, although they are famous, they are excluded by the ladies of major families, and their friends are scarce.

Lin Yang learned all this news from Wan'er, and the Li family was obviously his best partner.

The Li family is not far from the Nangong Mansion, they are all wealthy families, Lin Yang's goal is very clear, go to the Li family first.

It's just that when he passed in front of the Nangong Mansion, he saw something that made him very unhappy, so he didn't think about it, and walked up.

"Childe, this son, spare the grandson of the little old man, he didn't mean it." An old man knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, but the young man was unmoved, carrying a child of three or four years old, and said arrogantly: "Old man, this kid has soiled my son's clothes As long as you compensate me, I will let you go." ”

"Childe, Xiao Lao'er has never seen eighty taels of silver in his life, how can you let me compensate you? Ask the son for mercy. "The old man is miserable, he has eighty taels of clothes, how can he afford to pay for an old man from a poor family.

When the young man saw that the old man's forehead was broken, he didn't have any sympathy, and seemed to think that people should crawl in front of him like this, so he had the idea of deliberately humiliating, so he naturally refused to let go.

He looked down at the old man, glanced at the night incense bucket that the old man put aside, rolled his eyes, and sneered: "It's okay if you don't pay compensation, as long as you and this little rabbit cub drink a sip of water in the night incense, this son will let you go." ”

"Ah, no, the little old man can drink two sips, my little grandson can't drink it, he is still young, he will drink sick." The old man took his grandson, who had fallen to the ground, into his arms and begged bitterly.

"No, if you don't want to, I'll send you to the official for investigation today." Brother Gongzi sneered and squatted down, and said playfully: "I'm not afraid to tell you, my uncle is Lord Fu Yin, if you are not afraid of being beaten by the board, just follow me." ”

"Ah, don't, my little grandson, if you fight a few boards, is there still a life?" The old man was startled, even an adult couldn't stand the beating.

"If you don't want to go, you will lose money, or you will drink fecal water, you choose." Brother Gongzi said coldly.

"We drink, we drink."

"Okay, Laifu, go get two spoonfuls of dung water!"

"The dung water is here, drink it!" The evil slave actually brought dung water and forced them to drink it.

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered around, but basically they don't dare to interfere, they can only whisper silently and point, the people don't fight with the officials, how dare they interfere.

The old man looked at the yellow thing in the scoop, although he was disgusting, he could only reach out to it, at this time Lin Yang finally couldn't help it and walked out: "Wait, old man, I will compensate you for this dress." ”

Lin Yang stretched out his hand to stop the old man, took out a one hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms, looked at Brother Gongzi and said, "I will compensate you for this old man's clothes." ”

"Oh, what a fool, well, I'll take it!" The man took the silver ticket away, spit a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Lin Yang: "Wait, the matter is not over yet, now that you have collected the silver ticket, then we should calculate another account, shouldn't you compensate this old man for his medical expenses and mental damages?" ”

"Stinky boy, are you looking for death?" Brother Gongzi stared at him coldly.

Seeing that you are not ready to do this, it's good: "Take a look, the descendants of Lord Yin of the Mansion are bullying people, and they actually commit murder and extortion on the street, injuring the toiling public, and extorting money. ”

"Take a look at it, as the family members of the people's parents and officials, they have no education and no virtue, and they actually use their power to bully people for money, hurt people's lives, and force people to drink dung water.

Lin Yang opened his voice and shouted loudly, it was like thunder in this block, and in an instant, all the children of all families were shocked and gathered, and in an instant, they surrounded this place with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Brother Gongzi didn't expect that Lin Yang would be so bold, and when he waited, he was angry, and the commander Ding Ding rushed to Lin Yang: "Arrest this person with a red mouth and white teeth who slanders my son and send him to the official." ”

"Do you see, do you see, the family is so vicious, there are all the human and material evidence, and they still want to arrest me, everyone to judge and judge, why can such a wicked person be so rampant in the township, there must be someone behind the back, today the kid is righteous, he will suffer from prison, how domineering, where are the parents and officials of the people, where is the law of the Great Xia Dynasty, and where is the axiom under the blue sky."

While speaking, Lin Yang had already used the ancestral severed feet to kick the four family members who rushed up into soft-footed shrimps.

The matter became bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed Nangong Wang, who had not yet gone to the Jinling Mansion, and also alarmed Su Lun, who was not far away.
