Chapter Ninety-Four: Ambition
It was precisely because of Hechuntang's high status in Zhu Li that it was difficult for Xu He to understand why Zhu Dahu would come to the door to give gifts. Back then, he wanted to go to the door of Zhu Dahu, but people were willing to let him in. Is this kind of drastic change just because Xu Yuanzuo hugged Xu Ge's golden thigh?
The answer is obvious, but Xu He has a hard time accepting it.
"That's a family of daughters, why do you secretly deign to come here?" Xu He asked without giving up.
Xu Yuanzuo stood at the top of the stairs and chuckled: "There are many daughters." He knew that Xu He would not believe it, and he also had a net worth of seven hundred and fifty taels in just two months. The so-called family of daughters is just the legendary 10,000 yuan household. It's just that before the capital swells, there is a short-term scenery.
If Xu Yuanzuo just wants to be a rich man, these seven hundred and fifty taels are enough for him to say nothing in Zhuli.
"You're talking big!" Xu He said coldly.
"If the silver is stored in the zΓ i cellar, what is the difference between a thousand gold and ten million gold? Nothing more than the difference in the size of the cellar. Xu Yuanzuo said: "Looking at the ancient and modern great businessmen, whether it is the ancient Tao Zhu, Bai Gui, or the later generations of Shen Wansan, they all tell us a truth: wealth is only the foundation, and the condition for becoming a big businessman lies in the use of wealth. Once wealth is used, it has influence. The more people I influenced, the more people saw me as a behemoth. β
This is the most basic concept of wealth, but because Xu He's pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info is too low, he was a little "frightened" after listening to it. It's not that he doesn't want his son to get ahead, it's just that having such a deep understanding at this age is too "demonic".
The ancients believed in prodigies, believed in demons, and never considered studying slices and other weird stories, but they also had negative concerns about prodigies - longevity.
Maybe it's jealousy of talents, or maybe it's fate that everyone has a mission to come to this world, and after the task is completed, they have to pat their butts and leave. Most of the prodigy geniuses who are happy to be happy tend to die youngβthe most famous being Cao Chong.
Of course, this could not be said, and Xu Hebiao only had "accident" and "refusal to admit it" on his face.
Xu Yuanzuo said: "Zhu Dahu has the intention to go further, but his vision is still too small. I only thought that I had the power of the Xu family, but I couldn't see that I had the ability to gain power. It's a pity, it's a pity! β
Xu He choked on his own saliva and coughed twice: "Don't be ashamed!" β
"That's true." Xu Yuanzuo didn't distinguish either, turned around and went upstairs, and said: "Father, we have to have a banquet for all the big families and celebrities in Zhuli after the New Year, so that we can inform them about the continuation of the joint ancestry." This list is up to my father's concern. "After all, he is an outsider, and the neighbor's name can finally be called, and the whole Zhuli face is too difficult for him.
Fortunately, Xu He can still do this.
"If there are trivial matters, it is okay to leave them to Lu Dayou, Jiang Baili and Gu Shuisheng." Xu Yuanzuo had already walked to the second floor and said in a loud voice.
"Okay, I got it." Xu He finally relented, and always felt that he had become his son's subordinate, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Xu Yuanzuo didn't think about it that much. If he really cultivated his subordinates, he would not choose a person with extremely poor qualifications like Xu He. He didn't even have the slightest doubt that if he didn't come to this world, the Xu family would probably be ruined in a few years, or even sold into slavery.
This is the road of no return that many traders who have failed in business in this era.
Wealth brings influence, but it also brings repulsion.
Zhu Dahu took the lead, and other shareholders of Chuntang either came together or alone, leaving famous posts and gifts, and invited Xu Yuanzuo to his home as a guest after the New Year.
Xu He only felt that the whole person was like a cloud, but he couldn't see that this was the feedback Xu Yuanzuo received in response to them.
What he didn't expect was that Xu Yuanzuo also had the heart to intervene in Hechun Tang and weave his own country within a country in Zhuli.
This seems to be a suspicion of excessive ambition, but there are no more than three families in the entire Hechun Hall who are richer than Xu Yuanzuo, and there are no people with a background than Xu Yuanzuo.
Xu Ge Lao's righteous grandson, Xu Shaoqing's righteous son, even in the county town where rich and noble families gather, he is also a good character!
In addition to the fact that they have no clan power to use and are weaker in their momentum, are there any other weaknesses?
Not only is it weak, as long as you continue to intercept talents from Lu Fuzi and cultivate your subordinates, most of them will be more useful than the clan!
That's where Xu Yuanzuo's confidence lies: he's on a path that is bound to succeed β even if it still takes a lot of effort.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Yuanzuo still took endorsement as his main activity.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Liangzuo ran back sweating profusely and secretly changed his soaked clothes.
Xu Yuanzuo cleared his throat.
"Brother, hehe." Xu Liangzuo smiled before speaking: "Didn't I come back to endorse?" β
Xu Yuanzuo glanced at him, although he knew that it was a child's nature to play, but he had just been provoked by the visitors to get involved in Zhu Li's ambition, and he still couldn't help but say, "You are too playful." If you can start writing in two years, and you can apply for a prodigy before the age of fifteen, I don't know how much work you will have to save later. β
The prodigies of all dynasties are auspicious, and the Ming Dynasty directly quantified the standard of this auspiciousness: those who have extraordinary qualifications before the age of fifteen, the county officials can report to the prodigy.
As long as the county examination is brilliant and the age is under fifteen, there is a hidden condition: the county official favors - so he can report to the prefect as a prodigy. The prefect's examination was conclusive and reported to the Great Master of the Dao. The great grandmaster's academy examination was originally not very degraded, and if he wanted to give face to the county officials, he would naturally give a good ranking.
This is actually an enhanced version of the path taken by normal relationship households, to ensure that they can get a student.
For example, Xu Yuanzuo is already fifteen years old, and he will be sixteen years old when the exam starts in February, and he is not qualified to report as a prodigy, so passing the county exam is his limit, and it depends on luck and operation in the future.
Xu Liangzuo was speechless: "Still a prodigy? My brother thinks too highly of me. β
"What's this? The prodigy was also forced out. Xu Yuanzuo thought about the school rules of those provincial key middle schools in later generations, and felt that it was not enough to intimidate the stubborn, so he searched forward again, remembering that he had read a literary essay of "Prodigy", and said: "The customs of Raozhou in the Northern Song Dynasty are that children can read as long as they can read, and they have been teaching the "Five Classics" since they were five or six years old. Don't they want to play? He hung it on the tree with a bamboo basket and kept it from hearing and hearing. If you don't study well, you won't put it down! β
Xu Liangzuo was stunned when he heard this: "There is such a tragic and inhumane thing, brother, this is what you made up!" β
"Say you don't read, do you? This is in the "Summer Record" written by Ye Mengde of the Song Dynasty. Xu Yuanzuo really laughed at his younger brother, and said, "I think that no matter whether this story is true or not, our family can try it." β
"Don't, don't!" Xu Liangzuo waved his hand again and again, his face frightened: "My brother doesn't know anything. The younger brother has been studying extremely hard these days, and he has worked so hard that he is sorry for this New Year if he doesn't go out to play. Since my brother doesn't like my brother to play, then I must study hard!
"By the way, brother, it's really useful for you to teach me that reading calligraphy! It's much easier to memorize, and it's really a corner of the game with its three antis. Speaking of the back, Xu Liangzuo was faintly a little proud, or rather, he was embarrassed.
Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "The four books are the foundation, hurry up, and my brother will find you a county city Confucianism to write an essay." β
"Thank you, brother." Xu Liangzuo said excitedly.
He is now a top student in the class, on the one hand, he is often praised by Lu Fuzi in public, on the other hand, he does have some accumulation, and after learning advanced reading methods, he has made rapid progress. In this case, he has already enjoyed reading because it is the best way to show his self-worth.
And it's also very affordable, read well, in addition to being noticed, better food and clothing, and pocket money.
Xu Liangzuo changed his clothes, secretly begged his sister to wash off his sweaty clothes, and then turned back to the room to study with his brother. He found that his brother's progress didn't seem to be much faster than him, and he was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. This is also Xu Yuanzuo's gradual majesty, which makes him dare not laugh like before.
The two read until their sister came up to call for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then they blew the lamp and closed the scroll, and went downstairs with joy.
