Chapter 002: Idiot or Genius
Xu Wenhan's reason for resigning from Yang Yan is very simple, only four very irresponsible words: I can't teach.
Yang Yan never expected that the gentleman he had invited at all costs would let his son go away in less than half a day. Although he was a little annoyed, he thought about it: he didn't expect his son to be famous when he read, Yang Zhi is no longer stupid and is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue, as long as he can inherit the family business and inherit the lineage, he is also content.
The thoughts of father and son coincide. After that, no matter how Yang Zhi tossed, Yang Yan just begged this young master not to get sick again, and let it go. However, in the eyes of outsiders, the madness of the eldest young master of the Yang family has not been cured, and at best it has only improved.
The eldest young master of the Yang family had to run around Xinyang City for half an hour every morning and evening, not only did the wind and rain not change, but also tied sandbags to his legs later. A large room was set aside in the house, and a lot of strange things were added, and he had to stay in the room for at least two hours a day, and no outsiders were allowed to approach. Sitting anywhere is stupid, and sometimes it's even the same when eating. Although I don't eat much every day, I eat a lot of beef, chicken, and vegetables. Occasionally, I would go to the market to buy some odds and pieces, and I would bang and pound for days. Sometimes I stay in the study all day to write and draw, but it is all some ...... of graphics and words.
What makes Yang Yan feel relieved is that his son neither causes trouble nor goes out to have fun, of course, he has no friends, and seems to be just immersed in his own world and enjoying himself. Fortunately for the housekeepers and maidservants, the eldest young master has an extremely easy-going temperament after he wakes up, and he always smiles with a lazy smile. There is no need to help the young master change his clothes ten times a day, no longer chase and feed the world, and no longer have to raise 120,000 points of spirit to coax him to play happily with him.
In March of the twenty-fourth year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, the Turks invaded the border and captured the general Wei Su to lead his troops to meet the attack. After several days of fierce fighting, he retreated to Shuofang. In May, Emperor Xia sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Turks. In June of the same year, Emperor Xia's second son, King Ning Zhaodang, waved his army to capture Suizhou, and his troops went straight to Jiangxia, the town of Chu. This year, Yang Zhi was seventeen years old. The thin and weak boy in the past has unconsciously grown into a tall and handsome young man.
On this day, Yang Zhi conducted another significant experiment. He locked himself alone in the study and fiddled with a green brick, carefully overlapping with the original floor tile of the same size, and then stepped lightly. And then...... The bricks are gone!
Yang Zhi smiled with satisfaction: The future training may not have to be so hard, and you can also apply to the cheap father to learn how to take over the family business.
As everyone knows, Yang Yan has been using this brain for a long time. In the past two years, his son has become more and more energetic day by day, and he has been healthy and prosperous, and Yang Yan's worry about the recurrence of his old illness has become less and less. Yang Zhidu is already an adult, and he has never asked half a word about his business. Yang Yan has a middle-aged son, and he sees that he is close to the sixtieth year, if he kicks his legs one day, what will his son do? It's hard for parents to protect a hundred years of spring, and the mountain will collapse!
The reason why Yang Zhi never asks about his own business is not only because he has no time nor that mind, but also because he has full confidence in Yang Yan. After coming into this world, he can characterize this cheap daddy by intuition alone: profiteer. For the rich and unkind profiteers. The economic acumen is not inferior to Huang Shiren's profiteers.
In his opinion, a person like Yang Yan will never become a huge rich man who dominates the party. But out of passion and cherishing of wealth, he will run his own industry with almost crazy seriousness and concentration, so he will definitely not be too poor.
In order for the old man's career to continue to flourish in his own hands, he must first find out how much family he has.
"Dad, I want to see our account books."
“…… What ledger? Zhi'er, what are you doing with the ledger? ”
"The ledger of all the properties in our family's name. My son is not filial, you are so old, and you still let you work day and night. I want to do my filial piety and slowly share some of it for you in the future. ”
"Really?!" Yang Yan was surprised and delighted, Huo Di got up and hugged his son: "My Zhi'er is finally enlightened!" Good, good! - Someone! Where the are all the dead? Hurry up and ask the housekeeper and master to bring the account books! The young master is waiting to see! ”
After the housekeeper and the master hurriedly sent the thick stack of account books, Yang Yan instructed: "Even if you show it to the young master, try to be as careful as possible!" ”
"No need, Dad." Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Please leave the abacus behind, and I'll just come by myself." ”
Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "You came by yourself?" When did you learn to count? Don't say it's you, even if it's me, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out for a while. ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "I'll try it first." If you really can't do it, ask the master for advice. ”
Although Yang Zhi is no longer a muddled idiot in the past two years, people always feel that he is a bit of a god and a god, and he acts in his own way, often unexpectedly. For Yang Yan, his son can take the initiative to "share his worries" for himself, which has given him a big surprise. Nodding suspiciously, he said, "Zhi'er, don't lose the account book." Whether you can understand it or not, it's best not to mention ...... casually in front of outsiders. ”
"Got it, Dad. Wealth is not exposed! ”
It only took Yang Zhi one day to complete the asset appraisal of his own property.
“…… Our family has a hotel, a grain store, and a cloth village, and the three properties and goods are equivalent to about 73,000 taels of silver. In addition, there is a mansion covering an area of 24 acres, more than 370 acres of fertile land, and 4,300 taels of printed money. According to conservative estimates, the total amount of our family's property is no less than 120,000 taels. Dad, I wonder if I've miscalculated? ”
In good conscience, Yang Zhi still admires this father. In a previous life, this is equivalent to a group company. Constrained by the Confucian idea of agriculture, all dynasties have implemented a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. Although the material conditions of the merchants were superior, the social status was not high. Most businessmen invest very little in expanding their operations, but they have an almost perverted enthusiasm for buying and buying land, and Yang Yan is no exception.
Calculated with reference to the silver price of the Qing Dynasty, the total assets of the Yang family are about 20 million yuan. Although it exceeded Yang Zhi's original expectations, it was not enough to cause him a shock-level psychological impact.
But Yang Yan is different. My son has been stupid for many years, and he has never touched the slightest bit in business in the past two years, and it only took one day to calculate the family background clearly! …… If it's not a youkai, it's a genius!
swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled Yang Zhi to kneel down in front of the ancestral tablet, and bowed with tears: "Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, my Yang family finally has a successor!" Zhi'er, starting tomorrow, go with Dad! ”
