Chapter 53: The Human Side
Interests are eternal contradictions, because money or power often makes a person can't help but fall into the entanglement of interests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the end, Yang Ming still underestimated the huge profits of monopoly, even if coal alone is enough to make people tear off the mask of hypocrisy.
Zhang Wenjuan only got the drawings for a day, and the news was exposed, as for who in Zhang Fuzhong revealed the news, it doesn't matter, the key is how to deal with the aftermath?
The Zhang family has coal, the Yang family has a stake in technology, and then the gentry who flocked to it wanted to get a bite of meat.
"Brother Yang, I...."Zhang Wenjuan was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears, she was more uncomfortable than anyone else when this kind of thing happened in her own family, although she accounted for the share of the current eight layers of bituminous coal in Hongcheng, the Zhang family and the Yang family could make a lot of money, but this kind of thing happened and it was the responsibility of the Zhang family that needed to be born.
Zhang Wenjuan may be more or less picky about the share, but reputation is a thing that no matter who you are, you attach great importance to it, even if you die, your descendants will have a bad reputation, and no one will deal with you.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Yang Ming frowned, he couldn't imagine that these people would start so quickly.
In fact, there is no secrecy at all about the practice of the coal stove, as long as the people who are familiar with the mason's craftsmanship can make it, although it is estimated that it is not good-looking, but it can definitely be used, not to mention that Zhang Wenjuan is afraid that Zhang Wenjuan also knows that the outside is inlaid with the method of burning paper clay pots, and then the mud is added to seal the inside.
Although most of the later generations are iron shells, Zhang Wenjuan can think of replacing other people with clay pots, no one in this world will be smarter than anyone, as long as there are benefits, everything is possible.
"Do you know who is involved today?" Yang Ming asked.
"The county lord Bo Wang Shen, the Wang family, Wu Dayou, the head of the bureaucracy, the Wu family and the Mu family of Jinhua!" When it came to the Mu family, Zhang Wenjuan's silver teeth clenched.
No need to ask, the servant who betrayed the Zhang family must have been bought by the Mu family a long time ago, and it was impossible for the Mu family to arrange just one spy in order to trap the Zhang family, maybe there is.
Yang Ming thought for a while and said, "You send a post to the county in the name of the Zhang family!" ”
"Post to the county?" Zhang Wenjuan asked, "Do you want to use the hand of the county honor?" ”
In today's form, Zhang Wenjuan also feels that it is more appropriate to connect the county, after all, as long as the silver reaches a certain amount, no one will be clear, the lord is a person, and the head of the office is also a person. If it is a person, it is inevitable to eat, drink and lazar, and now it is said that the court has owed three months.
"No, I just want to give the county lord a political achievement!" Yang Ming smiled: "You only know one and you don't know the other!" ”
Yang Ming took a sip of the tea on the table before saying, "It's true that everyone needs silver, but for officials, they can ignore it except for the hat on their heads!" If you have a hat, you will have silver, and if you can wear a bigger hat, you will have more silver! ”
Zhang Wenjuan couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "Brother Yang, are you sure?" ”
"You just have to send the invitation, as well as the lord's book, the county minister and the head of the six rooms, the location is in the Ruyi Building! It is said that their food there is very good! Yang Ming continued: "As for the Mu family, don't invite it!" And that Mu Gongzi, let them come to your house to farm this time! ”
Come to your house and farm!
Zhang Wenjuan was in a cold sweat!
Is this the big brother Yang who smiles all day long? The famous squire of Jinhua Town wants the whole family to farm, and he goes to Zhang's family to farm! This is only the case if you become a tenant and a domestic slave!
Then Yang Ming's meaning is that the Mu family will never be able to turn over!
The Mu family was already peeking at the Zhang family's wealth, and they were angry with Zhang Wenjuan because of the Chunfanglou incident, if it weren't for Yang Ming coming up with this briquette, it is estimated that the Zhang family would have bowed down.
Even now, the Mu family plans to connect the county's connections to carve up the Zhang family's coal business, and the feud between the two families is not small.
Yang Ming believes that if the Mu family falls into the hands of the Zhang family, I am afraid that there will be many people in the Zhang family who will take good care of them.
People are born with seven emotions and six desires, and even saints want their mastery to be passed on from generation to generation.
In an instant, Zhang Wenjuan found that the young man in front of her was different from the person in her mind, but was Brother Yang for himself? Is it for himself to take revenge on the Mu family?
She didn't dare to ask, men always do things for a reason, and women shouldn't interject.
It's just that the current Brother Yang is a little scared, and she finds that her previous intelligence and sophistication seem to be nothing in front of him.
silently filled the teacup with water for Yang Ming, and felt all kinds of tastes in his heart.
Yang Ming was still pondering, and he needed to sort out his thoughts anew.
The Mu family, the lord Bo, and other officials and squires are actually a union of interests, and if they are advantageous, they will be combined, and if they are not profitable, they will be divided. All eyes are focused on the profits of briquettes, and they have not thought about how many toiling people will benefit by implementing the method? How many people will no longer have to be poisoned and die because they dare not use bituminous coal because it is cold in winter?
It's not that they don't know, it's just that the immediate benefits are too big, so big that even they can only hunt wild food in the small county town of Hongcheng.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Ming's mouth, I wonder if the butterfly gently instigated its wings Hongcheng would blow a strong wind?
The lights of Chunfanglou are still bright, the beauty is like jade, and the sound of the piano is like wine, tonight is destined to be Zhang Wencai's specialty, and the song "Farewell" surprised the audience.
This matter has been another masterpiece that he can recite for later generations since "Only If I First Saw It".
Miaoyin continued to play the tune nobly in the applause of everyone as she wished, successfully defending her pride of the red card, and the scholars of Chengdu Mansion left disappointed.
Only Miaoyun stood in the lobby of Chunfang Building in a daze, looking at the former sisters in front of her alone.
"Miaoyin, you're just lucky this time! If I can have Zhang Gongzi to help, I don't know who will win or lose today! ”
"Miaoyun, don't you know that in fact, you and I are just chess pieces in this competition?" Miao Yin said lightly.
"Whether I'm a chess piece or a chess player, I just know that you've been pressing me for so many years!" Miaoyun said hatefully: "At the beginning, in Chengdu Mansion, you made a red card and I made a second card, and my mother who used it for food was close to you." And me? Hehe! I have to be careful to please you, pretending to be stupid all day long, my sister is long, my sister is short! ”
Her voice trembled a little, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Even if you leave, I still live in your shadow!" Did you know that those literati are wonderful as soon as they enter the door, and I am just your replacement! Do you know about alternatives? Ha ha! ”
"Do you hate me so much?" Miaoyin couldn't imagine that Miaoyun's heart was so dark, she left the Cuihong Mansion for Miaoyun, she originally thought that the two would no longer intersect after leaving, or that she gave the name of the red card to Miaoyun, and Miaoyun would have less obsession in her heart, but she didn't expect it to become like this.
"Hate! Of course hate! Miaoyun's face was already a little pale, and she sobbed and said loudly: "God is really unfair! I Miaoyun didn't lose to you, in terms of appearance, poetry and songs, and figure, I was worse than you? You're just luckier than I am, and you are! In Hongcheng, a place where birds don't, there will be masters who write poems and lyrics for you for no reason......"
