Chapter 214: Famous Families
After Wu Qing sat down, he didn't speak, anyway, you have something to ask me, what am I anxious about, we are not timely rain, not to mention that in a way, these people are his opponents, business opponents. So it was a little cold for a while.
Zheng Xiwen coughed lightly and said, "Everyone will serve Lang for a glass first." ”
"Yes, yes, a toast!"
So everyone stood up one after another, holding wine glasses, and Wu Qing had no choice but to stand up and drink it in one gulp!
"The waiter has a good amount of wine!" The crowd said.
Wu Qing was speechless, just a glass, how could he see the amount of good wine. It seems that you have to ask yourself, otherwise I don't know when this wine will be drunk.
"Zheng Yuanwai, let's get straight to the point, if you have anything, just say it." Wu Qing asked.
At this time, several big dishes were served, Wu Qing glanced at them, it seemed that these people had worked hard, and they even inquired about what dishes they liked to eat.
Zheng Xiwen said to Wu Qing at this time: "Presumably the squire also knows, there is no doubt that among us are once the surname of Guan Long and the Shandong Wang clan, since Emperor Taizongwen, the world's wang clan has been suppressed like never before, and now the squire is in charge of the election, so I have to ask for the squire, and it is not strange to look at the waiter." ”
Wu Qing had already guessed a few points, but now that he was sure, he was not hypocritical, and said: "That's right, after the Spring Festival, all those who enter the official department must be selected by the Ministry of Officials before they can be awarded officials." If you and other clansmen have real talent and real learning, I will also act impartially, if you don't have real talent and real learning, even if you are awarded an official, what is the use? What's more, it also needs to be reviewed by the Chinese book. ”
"Shilang is right, the children of us who participated in the Spring Festival this time are all children with foreign surnames and side branches of family learning. We also don't dare to embarrass the squire by allowing our descendants to participate in the promotion. "The person who spoke was Longxi Li.
It stands to reason that the Li family in Longxi and the Li family of the royal family are from the same source and should not be suppressed, but this is the case. So for the sake of the family's interests, they had to pull down their faces and find Wu Qing to dredge up the relationship, so that they would not be embarrassed in the bolt selection.
So, then, in the continuous discussion and drinking, everyone gradually got better, and Wu Qing also got a lot of benefits. The actual benefits Wu Qing didn't want, these famous families have a lot of resources in their hands. After some haggling. Wu Qing got the market share of grain, pig iron, silk, etc., and Wu Qing's requirement was not to suppress himself in these aspects, and how big he could go, these families could not use conspiracy methods.
When Wu Qing said these requests. These people understand. Wu Qing is indeed not greedy, and very cunning, on the surface, Wu Qing has not gained anything, but in the long run, if Wu Qing develops grain trade, there is no doubt that there will be very little resistance.
As for Wuqing. It is a great joy in the heart, and the Tianzhu area is the best place to produce food. If he can establish a colony over there or buy grain there, will this have an impact on Datang's grain market, and will Datang encounter a year of famine without so many deaths?
When the matter was negotiated, Zheng Xiwen slapped his hands, and in a moment the door of the private room opened, and a group of slender sisters came in, one of whom was extremely sweet-looking, which made Wu Qing's heart pound. Zheng Xiwen saw it in his eyes and said: "This woman is the flower of the drunken incense building, so don't be polite." ”
Wu Qing smiled, if he refused at this time, it would be too incomprehensible, so he took it into his arms, and it was like holding a ball of cotton.
Everyone laughed and sat a good-looking sister in their arms, and began to talk nonsense.
Wu Qing returned to the mansion in a drunken state, and as soon as he entered the house, he lay on Taiping's oversized bed, and then he didn't know anything.
After three days of competition, from the fire captain to the captain, almost seventy percent of the old people were replaced, and Wu Qing's twenty male figures and more than ten personal guards were also placed in the fire commander, team leader, and brigade commander, Wu Qing ordered him to completely control the department within seven days.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye in February, the eastern capital of Luoyang ushered in the world's 10,000 sons, and Zheng Xiwen was responsible for the tribute, so Wu Qing was rarely idle, I think he was also one of them, when the exam started, Wu Qing walked into the Ministry of Officials Examination Institute, and Zheng Xiwen greeted him.
Zheng Xiwen said: "The lower officials have seen Lord Shilang! ”
Wu Qing smiled: "Excuse me, can you find out if there is any special move today?" ”
Zheng Xiwen said: "There are really a few! ”
"Oh, tell me about it?" Wu Qing said with a smile, and couldn't help but have some expectations for those people in his heart.
Zheng Xiwen said: "There are Yao Yuanchong from Shaanzhou, Song Jing from Xingzhou, Xiao Song from Lanling in Yizhou, and Dong Mao, Wang Fuzhi, and Chun Yushi from Qingxin Academy, all of whom are very good. ”
Wu Qing nodded, the resources of the professors of Qingxin Academy were no longer as stretched as they were back then. Nowadays, Qingxin Academy has brought mathematicians, astronomers, alchemists, etc. from Tianzhu Kingdoms, Dashi, Eastern Rome, Franks and other countries by various means, and after all these years of study and exchange, they have fully adapted to the life of Datang and are shocked by the prosperity of Datang, so they have also devoted themselves to the passion of teaching students. Every year, nearly 100 students graduate, except for a part of the Jinshi examination, these people are all sent to various places by Wu Qingfa, some are in business, some are in mining, and some have opened private schools to spread the foundation of science.
Among them, Wuqing made great efforts to explore iron ore and coal mines, and Li Yuncong, a student of mathematics, physics and chemistry, became the leader of iron mining and smelting in Yongxing County, Yingzhou and Pingxiang, Yuanzhou. Now, three years later, the two places have become the pig iron and coal production areas of Wuqing. Of course, all the production is backlogged in the warehouse. Now that he has received the promise of these famous families, then he can sell pig iron and other metals.
Wu Qing smiled and said, "Well, you will give me a copy of these people's examination papers when the time comes, and I will go back first." ”
Zheng Xiwen arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the subordinate will do his own affairs." ”
After Wu Qing rode a horse to inspect the Yulinwei, he returned to Fuzhong, and now that Fan Lihua is about to give birth, he also has to accompany him. And Du Sanniang and several other concubines were pregnant again, and he had to think about why he had such a high hit rate, which made him a little proud. But it's not a good thing to have more children, it's not that you can't support them, the main thing is that it will be a troublesome thing to divide property in the future, and he doesn't want to fight for property because of the heirs' fight for property, and the family will be ruined.
It seems that in the future, you have to ask for a good cycle, which is okay and not a thing.
First ask the old lady to say goodbye, see that Qiu Ju is also there, now Qiu Ju is responsible for serving the old lady, which makes Wu Qing extremely relieved, with Qiu Ju to take care of, Wu Qing is 100,000 rest assured, originally he wanted to arrange Qiu Ju by his side, but later with Yu Shu, he was alienated a lot.
After instructing Qiu Ju, Wu Qing thought about whether to go to the princess's room or to Xinglin Garden?
"Princess, please!"
When you hear it, it is the sound of incense.
Wu Qing turned around and smiled: "Well, I know." (To be continued......)
