Chapter 577: Relying on oneself

Chongzhen's 12th year of the Spring Festival has arrived, this Spring Festival, is Zheng Xunrui's most pleasant Spring Festival, but also Wen Manshan and other happiest Spring Festival, it is said that Zheng Xunrui led the Zheng family army to Beizhili in early October, the family thought that this Spring Festival Zheng Xunrui would still be outside, did not think of the wax moon, Zheng Xunrui returned home, and in the following days, Zheng Xunrui accompanied his family in Huai'an Mansion to catch the market, buy things, and even accompany to eat many snacks in Huai'an, and also went to the dock several times to see the lively scene, visit the temple fair, I almost didn't bother to ask about the Governor's Mansion and Zheng Jiajun, which made Wen Manshan and the others extremely happy.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Zheng Kaihua and Zhou Bingyan made a special trip to Huai'an to pay New Year's greetings to Zheng Xunrui, and Zheng Kaihua also sent 50,000 taels of gold, which must be sent on time every year.

In the past, Zheng Kaihua came to Huai'an to pay New Year's greetings, all with guards, but never with Zhou Bingyan, this time Zhou Bingyan followed, Zheng Xunrui knew that he had long wanted to have a good talk with Zheng Kaihua, after all, Zhou Yanru served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and the impact on Zheng Kaihua was a bit big, and Zheng Kaihua would not be able to solve the mystery without careful analysis.

The brothers entered the study, and Hong Xinyu waited outside the study, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Kaihua, do you want to go to Yixing this year to pay New Year's greetings?"

"I haven't gone yet, this year I was going to go to the capital first, but the situation in the north has been unstable, my father, my mother and my mother have all sent letters, saying that they don't want to go this year, although the Houjin Tartar has run away, but Liukou has always been very arrogant, so I don't plan to go to the capital, and I will go to Yixing to pay New Year's greetings after I go back."

"Oh, Lord Zhou went to the capital to take up his post, didn't he find anything you asked him to do before leaving?"

"I wrote a letter asking me to do business at home, and I didn't say anything else."

When Zheng Kaihua said this, he had a smile on his face, no wonder he was unhappy, his brother was the crown prince and the governor of Caoyun, and he had absolute influence in the Huaibei area. Even in the entire Nanzhili, no one dares to offend, and now that his father-in-law, Zhou Yanru, has become the head of the cabinet, he and his family's power has reached its peak. In the future, whether it is business or other things, it can almost go sideways.

However, Zheng Xunrui's requirements are very strict, and Zheng Kaihua didn't think about messing around, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong. conAd1();

saw the smile on Zheng Kaihua's face. Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly, there is no need for Zheng Kaihua to know all the battles and games in the court, and there is no need for Zheng Kaihua to be so careful every day. It should be said that Zheng Kaihua does not have such a strong ability for the time being.

But it is not okay not to remind Zheng Kaihua, Zheng Xunrui has reason to believe that as time goes by, the emperor and the court will embarrass him in many ways, including Zheng Kaihua, who is not afraid of 10,000 in case, and it is necessary to do a good job in preparing for a rainy day.

"Kaihua, Zhou Bingyan also came to Huai'an this year, can you tell me why."

Zheng Kaihua, who was smiling, saw Zheng Xunrui's face very serious. also restrained his smile, having been in business for so many years, it has long been one of his skills to observe words and looks.

"Big brother, Bingyan said it specifically. After so many years, I haven't had the opportunity to pay New Year's greetings to my eldest brother and sisters-in-law, and I am very uneasy in my heart, I must come over to see it this year, I thought about it and thought it was good, so I brought Bingyan with me. ”

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly.

"My younger brother and sister have been in the Zheng family army for all these years. I rarely meet, let alone take care of it, she has the heart to come to me to greet the New Year, I express my gratitude, if you feel a little wronged in your heart, I can understand if you don't want to come, you and I are brothers, some words have to be said clearly, don't have any worries, I am in a different position, many things seem to be very simple things in your eyes, but not necessarily to me. ”

"Why do my younger brothers and sisters come to pay New Year's greetings this year, if Lord Zhou does not serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, will my younger brothers and sisters come, may still stay at home, you may feel ugly when I say this, is it too worried, but what I am saying is the actual situation, my younger brothers and sisters may not think so much in their hearts, but Lord Zhou thinks of a lot, I can conclude that Lord Zhou must have written a separate letter to his younger siblings."

Zheng Kaihua was a little surprised and looked at Zheng Xunrui. conAd2();

"I did write a letter, but I don't know what it is."

"If you've read this letter, I'm afraid you won't be sitting in front of me so calmly."

Zheng Kaihua's body trembled slightly, and his face changed.

"Kaihua, you should remember the last time we talked to each other, that time you wanted me to help Lord Zhou speak, and after I refused, I analyzed the situation for you, but it didn't take long for the emperor to suddenly ask Lord Zhou to be the first assistant of the cabinet, doesn't this seem a little sudden."

Zheng Kaihua nodded and did not speak.

"Zheng Jiajun is so strong, this time he defeated the Houjin Tartars again, do you think there is a cheer in the capital, do you think no one is worried that Zheng Jiajun is too brave and strong, in this case, the emperor let Lord Zhou serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, doesn't this make Zheng Jiajun more powerful, and also make me more unscrupulous."

At this time, Zheng Kaihua spoke, and his speech was a little stammering.

"Big, big, I didn't think of this, I, I just cared about being happy."

"I can't blame you, for so many years, because I want to maintain the family, I ask you to go home and do business, even the second brother-in-law and third brother-in-law who are not as knowledgeable as you are all officials of the imperial court, if you entered the imperial court, you must have been above them in rank, but you have to remember that there is not much difference between this officialdom and the shopping mall, all the things that are deceitful and intriguing exist, the higher your position, the more attacks you will suffer, the stronger your strength, the more people are worried, It's like the Zheng family's business now, which has done a lot of money and earned a lot of money, but there are a lot of jealous people behind it, they are just taken by the strength of the Zheng family, and they don't dare to calculate. ”

Zheng Kaihua nodded again and again.

"What the eldest brother said is, in fact, many businessmen in Nanjing envy me, and some of the words I say secretly are not so good, but I don't care, since the family has made so much silver, don't think about blocking people's mouths, and besides, they just say it, and they don't dare to move anything. conAd3(); ”

"Yes, under the current situation, no one dares to move the Zheng family, but have you thought about it, don't dare to move on the surface, it doesn't mean that you don't count secretly, almost all the businessmen who can do a lot of business are smart and flexible, they can smell everything, they can accurately make correct and advanced judgments, and they can seize all opportunities that are conducive to them making money.

"I understand what the eldest brother means, I'll pay attention when I go back."

Zheng Xunrui sighed.

"I didn't want to talk about these things, I don't want you to get into it, I hope you can concentrate on dealing with business matters, but there are some things you have to know, I have three requirements for you, you must always keep in mind."

"The first request, don't take the initiative to contact the people of the Zhou family, even if your younger siblings ask for it, this is the most critical, you must firmly grasp it."

"The second request, from now on, any letter that Lord Zhou writes to you, must tell me the content, and whatever Lord Zhou asks you to do, you are not allowed to do it without my consent."

"The third requirement is to do business honestly after you go back, you are in charge of all the things at home, and your younger siblings can still take care of the daily affairs of the family, and you are not allowed to meddle in business matters, let alone in seed sales."

"You must do these three requirements, you can't go against them, as for the reasons in this, I won't explain them for the time being, after a long time, I believe you will understand the truth."

Zheng Kaihua was already pale, and it took a while before he spoke.

"I remember the words of the eldest brother, I will do it, from the words of the eldest brother, I feel that my father-in-law is the first assistant of the cabinet, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, I just thought about it, the eldest brother is so powerful, it is impossible for the emperor not to worry, but I want my father-in-law to be the first assistant of the cabinet, this is awkward, I will not do it."

A smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"Kaihua, it's good that you can think of this, in fact, many things, as long as you scrutinize carefully, you can always find the mystery that exists, the Zheng family is no longer an ordinary family, it has long been the focus of attention, especially after Lord Zhou became the first assistant of the cabinet, so you need to be more cautious in doing things."

"As for Lord Zhou, I can deal with it, you don't have any direct contact, in the future, my younger siblings want to go back home to have a look, it's okay, and you don't have too many requirements."

"You have been in business for many years, and you are much more familiar with business and trade than me, how you did business before, and how you will do it in the future, don't think about doing anything to expand the scale or anything like that."

"I want to warn you in particular, the requirements for children must be strict, Zheng Kunyu is three years old, don't spoil it, whether our next generation is promising is related to the future of the Zheng family." ……

The conversation between Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Kaihua lasted for a full hour.

On the other hand, Zhou Bingyan and Wen Manshan and others are also talking about common things, of course, whether it is in terms of origin or status in the family, Wen Manshan is far higher than Zhou Bingyan, although Zhou Bingyan's father Zhou Yanru has become the first assistant of the cabinet again, but Zheng Xunrui is also a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so in terms of attitude, Zhou Bingyan is still very modest.

The conversation between women mainly involves the family and children, and does not talk about any major matters. (To be continued.) )
