Chapter 234: The Merchant of Relatives

Jin Liang also gave a house for Lu Chang to live in, and the clan villagers of Lu Chang, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Zhongjing, who Lu Chang brought from Nanyang, were recommended to Jin Liang by Lu Chang and the three of them, and Jin Liang let Dong Zhao's military and political department use them, and arranged them one by one according to the ability of these clansmen and villagers, and those who lacked ability were also arranged to work in suitable industries.

The next day, Jin Liang summoned the Lu clan in Xiangyang to hold a ceremony of recognizing relatives and returning to the sect, which was attended by Lu Fan, Lu Dai, Lu Meng, Lu Chang, as well as Jin Liangtang's nephew Lu Peng from Jiuyuan County, Lu Zhao from Dongping, and Lu Changyi's brother Lu Jian from Nanyang.

Jin Liang's general's mansion began to be arranged early in the morning to prepare for the ceremony of returning to the sect, and Jin Liang's nephew Lu Peng also came to help in advance.

Lu Peng is nearly twenty years old, nine feet tall, burly and strong, with a handsome face, and looks a little like Jin Liang, who is the elder Lu Zuo of Jin Liang's uncle Lu Shan, looking at Lu Peng, Jin Liang can't help but think of the Lu family in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County.

Jin Liang's maternal grandfather was the general Dou Xian under the command of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty under the command of the Yue cavalry captain Lu Hao, who had followed Dou Xian to break the Northern Xiongnu in Lu Wei Mountain, the Northern Xiongnu alone disappeared in the far desert west, Lu Hao led the troops to be stationed in Wuyuan County, and built a city and fort in the local area, opened up the wasteland for farming, and stuck to the border pass, after Dou Xian was forced to commit suicide, Lu Hao was demoted to the captain of Jiuyuan County. Lv Hao was originally a native of Chang'an, before following Dou Xian, he had married a wife in Chang'an, and at the age of eighteen he had a long Lu Shan, and later Lv Hao was demoted to the lieutenant of Jiuyuan County, and his wife died of illness, and Lu Hao remarried a wife in Jiuyuan County, and Lu Hao got Lu Liang when he was forty-two years old. Later, he married the son of the Jin family, a big family in Jiuyuan, and gave birth to five daughters and a son, and that one was Jin Liang, so it seems that Lu Shan is Jin Liang's uncle.

Before he died, Chang Lu Shan rushed to Jiuyuan from Chang'an, wanting to seek his father's position and military power, but Lu Hao suspected that Lu Shan had never been in the army for business in Chang'an, so he gave up the position of Jiuyuan County Lieutenant to Jin Liang, because there were 500 Yue Cavalry loyal to help, Jin Liang successfully obtained the appointment of Jiuyuan County Lieutenant from Wuyuan County Taishou and Jiuyuan County Commander.

Lu Shan and Jin Liang are half-brothers, they have not grown up together since childhood, and the age difference is more than 20 years, so they have no brotherly feelings at all, Lu Shan can not get the post of Jiuyuan County Lieutenant, after Lu Hao died of illness, he wanted to return to Chang'an, and later saw that Jiuyuan County is at the junction of Hu and Han, Hu and Han trade is promising, Lu Shan is a businessman, driven by interests, he stayed in Jiuyuan County, and started border trade.

Lu Shan has three under his knees, namely Lu Zuo, Lu Wei, and Lu Chao, Lu Zuo and Lu Wei all follow their father in business, and Lu Peng is the eldest of Lu Zuo, because Lu Shan is twenty years older than Jin Liang, and Lu Zuo is also more than ten years older than Jin Liang, so Lu Peng, who is Jin Liang's nephew, is already twenty years old, and Lu Chao is young, similar to Lu Peng, and is Jin Liang's cousin.

During the reign of Emperor Ling Xiping, Tanshi Huai unified the Xianbei tribes, in the vast area north of the Great Wall, established a military alliance of the eastern, central and western regions, the Han army was unable to resist, Xiping five years, the imperial court let the border people move south, Jin Liang withdrew to the territory of Bingzhou with his father Jin Liangnan, and was attached to Ding Yuan's subordinates. And Lu Shan was afraid of the family business, and did not move south with Jin Liang in time, Lu Shan and Chang Lu Zuo were both killed by the Xianbei people, only Lu Zuo's son Lu Peng and his sister Lu Lu played hide and seek and hid in the cellar, fortunately spared. Lu Peng and Lu Lu were raised by their uncle Lu Wei, and Lu Chao also followed his second brother Lu Wei, and the family continued to stay in Wuyuan County to take care of the Lu family's business in Wuyuan County, and never thought of attaching themselves to Jin Liang, who was the lord of the state.

Until this year, Jin Liangrong served as the general of the expedition to the south, and sent Wei Xu to recruit troops in Jiuyuan County to attack the Southern Xiongnu, Jin Liang's second cousin Lu Wei remembered the future of his younger brother Lu Chao and nephew Lu Peng, and let them lead dozens of soldiers to join Wei Xu's team, and after the victory pacified the Southern Xiongnu, Lu Peng and Lu Chao came to Xiangyang to see Jin Liang.

Jin Liang asked, "Xiaopeng, where did your fourth uncle Lu Chao go, why didn't you come to the ceremony?" ”

Lu Peng said with a smile: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, he went to greet a few uncles!" ”

"How many uncles?!" Jin Liang remembered that he also had four sisters, namely Jin Silk, Jin Silk, Lu Silk, and Jin Satin, all four sisters were married, Jin Liang had four brothers-in-law, and for Lu Peng, he had four uncles.

Not long after, Jin Liang's four sisters and four brothers-in-law, as well as a group of nephews and nieces, poured into Jin Liang's general's mansion together.

Jin Liang's eldest sister Jin Si is eight years older than Jin Liang, the second sister Jin Juan is six years older than Jin Liang, the third sister Jin Chou is four years older than Jin Liang, and the fourth sister Jin Sain is two years older than Jin Liang.

Jin Liang inherited the good looks of his parents, and his four sisters also inherited the good looks of their parents, all of them are very beautiful, although they are old, they are all young women, and the charm still exists, their husbands love them very much, and each sister has several daughters under their knees.

Jin Liang looked at a large group of nephews and nieces who were chirping up and calling his uncle, his brain hurt, and he hurriedly ordered Cai Yan and other daughters-in-law Diao Chan and Du Xiuniang who had not passed through the door to greet these relatives for him.

The second sister Jin Juansheng was very arrogant, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Xiaoliang, when you become a big official, you have forgotten how many sisters?" ”

Jin Liang smiled: "Second sister, where did you come from!" Didn't I send someone to take you from Bingzhou to Xiangyang? I'm also going to give my brothers-in-law some errands to do! ”

Jin Juan nodded and smiled: "It's pretty much the same!" Xiaoliang, you used to listen to your daughter-in-law, you were only good to her mother's family, and arranged good errands for her cousins, but you forgot your four hard-working sisters, you now send someone to invite us over, sister, I am really happy, I hope you will not be too afraid of guilt in the future, and put our blood and family feelings aside! ”

Jin Juan's voice was quite loud, and it reached Cai Yan's ears, Cai Yan didn't dare to disobey Jin Liang's intentions, and he couldn't quarrel with his aunt in public, so he had to swallow his anger and pretend not to hear it.

Jin Liang had neglected contact with his four sisters before, in fact, it was not only his wife Cai Yan who did not get along with the four aunts, but the main thing was that Jin Liang felt that two of the four brothers-in-law were businessmen, and two were county officials, all of whom were poor brothers, and they couldn't help him, so he was too lazy to deal with useless relatives.

Now Jin Liang has reversed his opinion, whether his relatives are useful or not depends on his own cultivation, if he supports them in a good place, they will also become his own help, although it is impossible to become the ****** Kong-Xiangxi and Song Wen, but it will not become a burden.

The husband of the eldest sister Jin Si is named Li Shun, who inherited her father's business and opened a grain shop in Jinyang City, Taiyuan County; The husband of the second sister Jin Juan is named Zeng Tian, who is a county official in Taiyuan County; The husband of the third sister Lu Silk is named Yin Mao, who works as a county official in Jinyang City, Taiyuan County; The husband of the fourth sister Jin Satin is named Chen Shu, and he opened a Chinese medicine shop in Jinyang City.

When these four brothers-in-law came to Jin Liang, they all wanted to bow down and salute: "Knock to see the general!" ”

Jin Liang hurriedly helped them up: "You are all my brothers-in-law, don't kill me!" Don't call me a general, just call me Xiaoliang like my sisters. ”

These four brothers-in-law all lived in the frontier, and there were not so many Confucian etiquette, and when they heard Jin Liang say this, they were no longer restrained, and they said that they would let Jin Liang find them some livelihood and take care of their relatives.

Jin Liang hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for them to make it clear one by one: "Brothers-in-law, think about it seriously, what do you want to do?" What can you do on your own? Big brother-in-law, you say it first. ”

The eldest brother-in-law Li Shun smiled and said: "Xiaoliang, don't worry, eldest brother-in-law, I don't want to ask you for an official, and I don't want to ask you for money, but my grain shop is too small, the business is not good, and I can't make any money, we have three sons and two daughters, and the family burden is very heavy, if you can help me get the grain shop business up, I can make money to support my wife and children, it's enough." ”

"The grain trade over there in Taiyuan is controlled by the big families headed by the Wang family, and if you compete with them, you naturally have no advantage," Jin Liang suddenly thought of a thing that killed two birds with one stone, and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, will you turn over the old grain?" ”

Li Shun was stunned, he didn't understand that Jin Liang's status would ask him about such a deed: "Ah, what do you mean by asking this?" ”

Jin Liang lowered his voice: "This winter, the grassland blizzard froze to death a lot of livestock, the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan are all short of grain, and there is a lot of grain piled up in Jizhou and Bingzhou for many years, moldy and spoiled, and we Han people can't eat it, I think, if you can turn over the old grain, I will sell these old grains to you, and you will resell them to those barbarians!" ”

In fact, most of those old grains were confiscated from the homes of those hostile families, these rich and unkind guys, they would rather the food hoarded at home be moldy and spoiled, but also sit back and watch countless compatriots starve to death, Jin Liang thought bitterly, the whole world like this family family does not know how much, those moldy and spoiled food does not know how much, these grains can not be discarded casually, they must be turned into treasures, for my use.

Li Shun smiled and said: "Xianting, I thought you were going to sell the old grain to our Han people, it turned out to be sold to those aliens who burned, killed, looted and did all kinds of evil, that's no problem, I won't turn the old grain myself, but I know those people will." I have brought them together to do this, but I have no dealings with those aliens, and I am afraid they will not ask for our food. ”

Jin Liang took advantage of the fact that many of the guests who came to witness had not arrived at the general's mansion, and hurriedly instructed Li Shun: "You just have to bring some reliable people to turn over the old grain together, and our Central Army will be responsible for the specific sales channels." "To be continued--over--> full text update,,All in/

Chapter 320: Don't Report My Name

Full text update,,It's all in /--go--> original chapter 320 don't report my name.

"And how much income can we get?" Li Shun is a businessman and naturally cares about profits

"The Central Army is responsible for providing old grain, transportation, and sales, while you are only responsible for processing, how do you say you should divide it?" Jin Liang said indifferently, although he was a relative, he couldn't let him take advantage of him too much.

"Five-five, or 6si, or seventy-three, or eighty-two." Looking at Jin Liang's gloomy expression, Li Shun kept retreating, and then determined with a share of eighty-two, even if Li Shun only got 20% of the income, but it was much more than the original harvest of opening a grain shop, because the old grain that was seized in the entire Jizhou and Bingzhou was enough to have millions of stones, if it was all turned over, it was sold according to the price of fresh grain, and each stone of grain was sold for 200 yuan, which was 200 million yuan, and the second achievement was 40 million yuan, and Li Shun became a multimillionaire.

Jin Liang whispered to Li Shun: "When the ceremony is over, you go to Han Hao, the Governor of the Quartermaster Department of the Central Military Affairs Academy, to discuss this matter." ”

Han Hao had also mentioned to Jin Liang before that the old grain was resold to the alien race and Dong Zhuobu, Jin Liang lacked the people who could operate this matter at that time, so he temporarily ran aground, and now he met his own relatives, and the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, Jin Liang immediately decided to hand over this transaction to his eldest brother-in-law Li Shun to do.

After Han Hao met with Li Shun, he reported to Jin Liang: "My lord, if these old grains are sold by the Central Army, if they are discovered, it will greatly damage the prestige of our Central Army, so it is better to let Li Shun come forward to sell them, even if something happens, as long as Li Shun insists that he bought it from those big families, it will not damage the reputation of our Central Army and the lord." ”

Jin Liang asked, "But he is not enough to operate such a big business!" ”

Han Hao said: "The key to this matter is to turn over the grain, we only need to send more people to control it at this juncture, and we can ensure that nothing goes wrong." Later, we can shoot the escort team to help them transport the grain, as for the sales, we have to let him recruit more men, and in each tribe, there are our people to help them introduce the powerful people in the tribe, and so on, the proportion of the division can be changed to seven three, we seven, he three. ”

Jin Liang nodded in affirmation: "It is true that more people should be sent to watch the places where the grain is turned, and at the same time block the connection between their grain sellers and the processing plant, so that their grain sellers think that the grain is good grain and can sell the grain without leaks." ”

Jin Liang turned around and asked Li Shun to borrow 1 million yuan from the central bank to recruit people to engage in long-distance sales, and use the turned old grain to exchange for horses, furs and other items of foreign races to sell inland.

The second brother-in-law Zeng Tian and the third brother-in-law Yin Mao said in unison: "Xiaoliang, we don't want money, we just want a future!" For your sister's sake, please promote us. ”

Jin Liang shook his head: "As a general of Zhengnan from the first grade, I should lead by example, I can't be nepotistic, I can't see your ability now, I can't promise you anything, so let's go to Pei Mao, the secretary of the ministry, and let him arrange someone to inspect your ability, and then recruit you by measuring materials." ”

Although Zeng Tian and Yin Mao are both unknown, they can be selected by Jin Liang's father Jin Liang as a son-in-law, or some ability, Pei Mao arranged six officials to interview and inspect the two of them, and found that both of them are very familiar with government affairs and have good ability to handle things, so they looked at Jin Liang's face, so they promoted Zeng Tian to the county lord of Taiyuan County, and promoted Yin Mao to the county governor of Jinyang County. Because this is a process that has been stipulated, Jin Liang's appointment of two brothers-in-law has not been criticized.

The fourth brother-in-law, Chen Shu, said with a smile: "Xiaoliang, I have the same idea as the eldest brother-in-law, I am not suitable to be an official, I just want to expand the family heirloom pharmacy business." ”

Jin Liang thought for a while, and then said: "Brother-in-law, you can first take out a loan from the Central Bank, open a few pharmacies in Xiangyang, and at the same time contribute money to support the drug research and development of the medical school in the Central University Hall, so that once the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo have any medicines, they will be sold by your pharmacies as soon as possible, and your pharmacies will not make money?!" In addition, the Military Medical Department of the Quartermaster Department of our Central Army can designate your pharmacy as the designated supplier! ”

Chen Shu was overjoyed, and through Jin Liang, he pulled Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, two great gods, and was established as the designated pharmacist of the Central Army, and he was waiting to count the money.

Jin Liang squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Shu, who was smiling happily, and said coldly: "Fourth brother-in-law, Xiao Liang's ugly words are ahead, if you sell fake medicines, if you deliberately sell them at a high price, I will not only seal up your pharmacy, confiscate your pharmacy, but also put you in prison!" ”

Jin Liang said loudly to the four brothers-in-law: "You are my relatives, compared to outsiders, you must pay attention to maintaining my reputation, if you find that you have any illegal and corrupt bad behaviors that have ruined my reputation, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" I put my words here, whoever disgraces me, I will not recognize him as a relative! ”

The four sisters, brothers-in-law, and their daughter-in-law all promised that they would definitely defend Jin Liang's reputation.

Jin Liang did not have the slightest confidence in their guarantees, he knew that a considerable part of Chairman Jiang's country was in the hands of Kong Xiangxi, Song Wen and his daughters, and he didn't want these four brothers-in-law and so many nephews and nieces to become stumbling blocks on his way to hegemony.

The eldest sister Jin Si asked: "Your nephews are over eighteen years old, and you as an uncle you have to arrange some livelihood for them!" ”

Jin Liang waved his hand: "They are still white, then go through the process of screening in the Zhaoxian Hall and Jixian Academy, if they are brushed down, I will arrange for them to enter the Central University Hall to study, and then they will be placed after graduation." ”

Jin Liang still used some authority to arrange those nephews and nieces into Xiangyang Middle School Hall or Central University Hall.

Jin Liang will support them in the initial education stage, once they embark on a career, if they are successful in learning and quite capable, Jin Liang does not mind helping them more, if they are mediocre, Jin Liang does not mind freezing them and never using them.

The four brothers-in-law also wanted to ask Jin Liang to help them arrange their brothers and relatives, Jin Liang waved his hand and said loudly: "Let them go to the Zhaoxian Pavilion and Jixian Academy to screen them layer by layer, if they are capable, I will never be stingy with their official position, if there is no one, don't want to cheat me into getting an official and a half!" ”

Speaking of this, Jin Liang said coldly: "You all need to keep a low profile, if anyone acts recklessly under my banner, I will send him to the eighteenth layer of hell and never use him!" I hope that when your relatives and friends go to the recruitment hall to participate in the interview, don't report my name, don't say that I am Jin Liang's person or person, I tell you, I have already told the interviewer, anyone who says so, will not be hired! ”

Jin Liang knows very well that all mortals in this world are "rich and living in the mountains with distant relatives, and no one asks about the poor and noisy city", at the beginning, Jin Liang was the lord of the state and did not control the power of personnel, and fought all day long, these relatives felt that there was no future with Jin Liang, so they did not deliberately cling, and now Jin Liang is in power, they naturally came to Xiangyang in a panic to worship.

Although Jin Liang's words were very harsh, it was also to give them hope, if they had the ability, they would definitely be reused by Jin Liang, and if they didn't, they would be sent by Jin Liang to study in the Central University Hall, as long as they didn't rely on being Jin Liang's relatives to do wrong, their future would be guaranteed.

After talking to the four brothers-in-law about the arrangements for them, Jin Liang talked to Lu Peng and Lu Chao about the arrangements for them. (To be continued.) )
