Chapter 173: The First Mistake

Jing Suke has been proud of the spring breeze recently.

As the person in charge of the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry, Jing Suke doesn't need to make money like other clansmen at all, he only needs to make a lot of money from the daily income.

He not only has a courtyard in the inner city, but also has an eight-room outer room in the outer city, after all, his wife is the daughter of the Zhou family, and she has always been strong, and he has to be sneaky to buy a concubine.

Tobacco and iron have always been the two major industries of the Jing family, but the rise of the tobacco industry is quite legendary: in the past, the Jing family was only the owner of the coal mine who relied on mining iron and mining, and at that time cigarettes were still a special offering that only the middle and upper class could afford.

One day, after the head of the Jing family finished smoking, he found that a worker secretly picked up his cigarette butt and took two sips, and realized that the tobacco industry was definitely a big market.

So the Jing family began to use the funds to buy tobacco grown on the estate, and did not take the upper route at all, specializing in growing the most growing, coarse, and large quantities of inferior tobacco, making cigarettes and selling them to workers at a low price.

Cheap cigarettes are selling well at the bottom of the candles, and this decompression consumer product is very popular with workers who have little to say and have little material pleasure (listening to books is just a spiritual enjoyment).

Originally, the head of the Jing family just wanted to make cigarettes to harvest the wages of his own workers, but he didn't expect the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry to develop and grow soon, almost dominating the cigarette market at the bottom of Xuanzhu and obtaining a lot of liquidity.

However, it seems to be the nature of the Jing family to like mining, and they invested their money to buy mines and iron, and only when the liquidity was not enough to expand the scale of the tobacco industry, they unknowingly became a giant leader in both tobacco and iron industries.

It is not that there is no chamber of commerce and the Jing family to grab the bottom tobacco market, but the Jingjia coal mine has many iron mines, many workers, he stipulates that his own workers are only allowed to buy their own 'Guanjing' cigarettes, others want to bring cigarettes into the factory to sell directly to death, and the 'Guanjing' cigarettes are also the cheapest - if the cigarettes of other chambers of commerce are cheaper than 'Guanjing', the Jing family will stuff inferior grass blades into the cigarettes, and even really stuff dog tail grass, in short, it can maintain the cost and price is the lowest in Dongyang.

The workers scolded the 'Guanjing' cigarettes for becoming less and less fragrant, and then took out the money to let their children buy a pack of 'Guanjing' - other brands of cigarettes are fragrant, but 'Guanjing' is cheap enough!

I just don't want to take two bites, there's no need to smoke that kind of good goods, don't you leave some money to buy some food for your children?

Cheap is king!

When other chambers of commerce can't play the Jing family, 'Guanjing' has become the preferred cigarette brand at the bottom of Xuanzhu. With the development of productivity, 'Guanjing' has also risen, and its total sales have gradually surpassed other high-end cigarette brands, and even become the richest industrial chain in Jingjia.

Of course, the current scale of 'Guanjing' is also because of the escort of the steel industry. Because of mining, there is an armed team responsible for suppressing the workers, and because there is an armed team, the Jing family is very strong - whoever dares to covet the money cows of the Jing family, the Jing family will let them enjoy the treatment of disobedient workers.

In the words of Leyu, this is called the combination of soft and hard, the tobacco industry is external strength, strong in the early stage, mining is internal strength, and stable in the later stage. In the Eighty-Eight Chamber of Commerce, the Jing family is not the most capable or the richest, but it is definitely the first sequence with the strongest comprehensive ability!

As the milkman in charge of the Jing family's money cows, Jing Suke is naturally deeply trusted by Jing Qingyi, and their bond can be summed up in one sentence: Jing Qingjia's younger brothers were damaged by Jing Suke's help.

After Jing Qingfu became the head of the family, some of the younger brothers went to sea and died of illness on the boat and then were swallowed by the waves, and some died in the sea of fragrant snow suspected of being too exciting so they exploded, in short, the way of death was strange, but their death was always inseparable from this good old man who has always provided funds for their pleasure - Jing Suke.

Jing Qingfu has been the head of the family for many years, and Jing Suke has been in charge of the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry for many years, which can be described as a model of the monarch and ministers of 'the king treats me as a countryman, and I repay the king with a countryman'.

But long-term friendships can't withstand the passage of time, feelings are like ripe and full flowers and fruits that fall to the ground, they are very real, but they will rot. When Jing Qingyi couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, Jing Suke also began to think about his next home.

He never thought about the position of the head of the family, the inheritance of the Jing family's lineage is a practice that lasts for a hundred years, and this tradition is indeed effective - the Jing family is standing tall as proof.

Tradition is not necessarily useful, but what is useful must become tradition.

Jing Suke thought about it and chose to take refuge in Jing Zhengtang. Unlike others who think that Jing Zhengtang is a weak man, as a person who is afraid of his wife who is sneaky when raising a concubine, he has a different puzzle about this - a really weak man is weak externally and hard internally, for example, a person who beats his wife will definitely not be hard; Wife-fearing people like them, who are weak internally, will be even tougher externally!

Of course, the earning power of Jing Zhengtang and his wife is an important factor in making Jing Suke bet. Instead of choosing Jing Zhengwu, the head of the 'weakened version of Jing Qingyi', it is better to choose a family head who can bring everyone to make a lot of money together!

However, Jing Zhengwu committed suicide, and after Jing Qingfu died of illness, Jing Zhengtang found their supporters and made it clear that he would fully support the new head of the family, Jing Zhengwei, who was here to represent the imperial army...... No, on behalf of the head of the family, I came to persuade them to be obedient.

Just when Jing Suke was anxious and waiting for the judgment of the new family owner, he found that the new family owner was actually an elegant and easy-going good person, not only maintaining the status quo of the Jing family, but also willing to exchange the brothers' promises to his subordinates, so that everyone could make a wish to him!

Jing Suke is not a fool, he is sure that those people who open their mouths will definitely be targeted, so he only wrote a small wish: he hopes to get a gold medal for avoiding death.

If he makes any mistakes in the future, he can use this gold medal to avoid death and be exempted from the punishment of the head of the family.

This wish does not depend on whether the new head of the family will be satisfied, but to show Jing Suke's attitude: I am really well-behaved, I will be beaten if I make a mistake, and I hope that the head of the family will not beat me too hard when he beats me.

Jing Suke used this method to coax his wife, so he had been eating secretly outside for so many years, and his wife was angry and only dragged him home to beat him violently, so as not to lose face in front of outsiders.

When the half-city area was attacked, the Jingjia cigarette factory naturally burned down, but the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry started early, and there were still two or three factories in the outer city, and the burning in the half-city area had little impact, but made the sales of 'Guanjing' cigarettes better - after all, other cigarette factories were burned.

Hiss –

Sitting in the director's office of the No. 1 Tobacco Factory, Jing Suke lit a green paper cigarette and smoked and read the newspaper deliciously. Green paper cigarettes are the highest specification cigarettes of Jingjia Tobacco Factory, which are not for sale as gifts, and the tobacco leaves are excellent varieties transported from specific farms, with endless aftertaste and mellow satisfaction.

There are two kinds of white paper cigarettes and orange paper cigarettes, white paper cigarettes use black tobacco leaves, which are cheap and easy to grow, and the taste is very choking, but most men who work hard like it very much, but it is more harmful to the body; Orange paper cigarettes add a special flavor on the basis of white paper cigarettes, not only are they not so choking, but they also have a sweet taste when smoking, and they are specially launched and sold to children.

Orange paper cigarettes can be said to be Jing Suke's proudest achievement, the Jing family has only sold cigarettes to adult men for so many years, and he has sold cigarettes to children!

If he can study the cigarettes sold to women in his lifetime, then he will also have a place in the Jing family genealogy.

But the problem is that his son actually likes to smoke orange paper cigarettes, fortunately he beat his son in time, and then instructed the tobacco factory to make a batch of good orange paper cigarettes that do not hurt his body, so that his son can smoke well.

When he got the new issue of "Youth Daily", Jing Suke naturally looked at the cover for the first time.

Although he is not a young man, when he looks at the cover of Youth Daily, he seems to be able to go back to the age when everything is recovering.

The cover of this issue is very strange, there is only one desk scene, and there is no one in it.

What about the astringent picture that is good!?

However, Jing Suke took a closer look and found some clues.

There was a drop of white in the center of the notebook spread out on the desk, as if something had dripped onto the notebook;

The page on the left side of the notebook was crumpled with a mark, as if a white thigh had once been pressed against it;

The window directly in front of the desk is a foggy glass window, on which a pair of beautiful handprints are clearly printed, and one can't help but imagine how beautiful the owner of the handprints is.

Looking at it, Jing Suke returned to his youth.

The so-called youth is enough to rely on fantasy.

Astringent pictures, even if you don't draw people, can be very astringent.

is worthy of the newspaper of the new head of the family, Jing Suke was taught.

Smoking and reading the newspaper, time flies, and it will be time to get off work in a short time. Because of the cover of Youth Daily, Jing Suke is ready to move today, and plans to go to the seventh concubine to recreate the scene on the cover.

However, when Jing Suke walked out of the first cigarette factory, he found a familiar car parked outside.

The driver beckoned to him with a smile: "Uncle Suke, come up and sit down?" ”

"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Jing Suke hurriedly walked over: "Why is it that the young master is driving, it really torments me, let go of that steering wheel and let me come, I am an old driver." ”

"Alright, sit in the back, I've got something for you." Le Yu smiled.

Jing Suke obediently opened the back door, and someone was already sitting in the back seat in the direction - it was Yin Minghong.

Jing Suke was very wary of Yin Minghong, because this person was the young master's henchman, and it was said that he was brought to Xuanzhu County from the Red Moon Fortress. A few days ago, Yin Minghong came to inspect the tobacco factory, and Jing Suke thought that the major master handed over the tobacco factory to him, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

He's a miner, so he doesn't know how to make cigarettes!

I am so loyal to the young master, the young master will definitely continue to use mine!

But why is the young master driving, and Yin Minghong is sitting in the back row?

Jing Suke sat in with a hint of doubt, and said politely: "What does the young master command, I have nothing to say, I promise to complete it!" ”

Leyu started the car and said with a smile: "It would be good if everyone shared the family's worries so much, Uncle Ke." ”

Jing Suke has been crawling for decades, and naturally understands that the young master is testing himself, and immediately kneels and licks: "After all, the old master passed away not long ago, and everyone misses the old master, so they may not work too hard." Su Ke asked himself if there is still a bit of thin noodles in the family, who is disrespectful to the young master, I will go over and scold him immediately! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Suke." Le Yu sighed: "It's just that this matter can't be solved, after all, everyone has their own small family and their own little abacus, no matter what they do, it is difficult for them to pay for the Jing family." ”

"Well...... this" Jing Suke made a cautious and honest appearance: "As the saying goes, how can you become everyone without a small family." As long as the young master can benefit the small family of the clan, the clan will naturally pay for everyone, and the old master has done a good job in this regard, sometimes taking care of the small family is not a bad thing, but it can make the clansmen work hard for the family business. ”

"Sure enough, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Uncle Suke's words, I remember it in my heart." Le Yu turned around with the steering wheel: "But I, after all, can't compare to the previous master, like that kind of wonderful power technique, I can't learn it." ”

"It's still a long time, young master, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn."

Jing Suke felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he still didn't understand where the danger came from.

"But I don't have patience, I have a desire to achieve it urgently, and I need to master the Jing family as soon as possible." "So, I need to use some simple and straightforward methods. ”

"What a method."

"Substitutions, for example."

Jing Suke felt his scalp tingle, and Yin Minghong's hand next to him unconsciously held his neck. With just a slight twist from Yin Minghong, he is going to start a netherworld business with Jing Qingyi!

"Why, why me?" Jing Suke stammered, "I am absolutely loyal to you, young master!" Even if it's a replacement, it's supposed to be a replacement of those thornsβ€”"

"Because it's a thorn, if I change them, it's easy to make other people sad, thinking that I want to eradicate disobedient old people." Le Yu said: "But you are different - if you die, if I frame you again, others will believe it." Because everyone else thinks I'm going to reuse you, and if I don't, it's just that you're in trouble. ”

"How is that possible-"

"People, you only believe what you want to believe. I even started a good old man like you, doesn't it mean that I want to purge the entire Jing family? Do you think they are willing to believe this desperate conjecture, or are you willing to believe the reasonable comfort I have given them? ”

Jing Suke's whole body trembled when he heard this, "You...... Do you want to clean the Jing family? But our people are dead, and who do you have availableβ€”"

"Isn't that person next to you?"

Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong, but this time there was no flattery and timidity in his eyes, only endless anger: "He is a pariah!" It's a slave! It's the next person! Jing Zhengwei, you are betraying the Jing family and digging your own grave! ”

"They're all people, they all use them the same, and I'm promoting them, and they'll be more loyal to me than you-"

"No one else will say yes!" Jing Suke roared angrily: "Our family has spent hundreds of years to accumulate the status that we have worked hard for, and now you want to give our status to those untouchables? The Jing family will oppose you, and the Silver Blood Society will not support you! ”

"It's too late for you to stop! Do you think the subordinates you promoted will be loyal to you? Stop dreaming! They're just a bunch of locusts who don't even understand the rules! They are insatiable, they are despicable, we will fight for the family anyway, they will only try their best to collude to steal your family property! If we weren't in charge, do you think those workers would work for the Jing family? ”

Le Yu didn't answer, but asked, "Second master, what do you think?" ”

Yin Minghong was slightly stunned, only then did he realize that he was shouting himself, so he said respectfully: "Young master, I think what Jing Suke said is right, there are indeed many people at the bottom who are insatiable and despicable. ”

Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong in surprise, and immediately smiled-Count you kid on the road.

"But that's because my livelihood is in desperation. They can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they think about loyalty and ideals, and rules? Yin Minghong's words changed: "If you change places, I believe that Jing Suke will be more insatiable and more despicable and shameless - in fact, he has embezzled many family assets over the years!" Compared to the untouchables he said, he is a veteran of this way! ”

"You ......"

"And even in order to survive, there are many low-level civilians who exude the brilliance of humanity, they are optimistic and positive, keep promises, and are eager to learn and learn! It's just because they don't have a platform to show that they have always been at the bottom! ”

"Thanks to the entrustment of the young master, I, Yin Minghong, will definitely find a loyal pillar for the Jing family, and ensure that after cleaning up these stubborn remnants, the Jing family will also prosper and change with each passing day!"

"Well said." Le Yu smiled, "Uncle Suke, do you have anything else you want to say?" ”

Jing Suke found that the car had unconsciously arrived at the unmanned warehouse, and his heart was like ashes, "I don't have anything to say." I didn't do anything wrong, why did I ...... like this?"

"No, you made a mistake."

Leyu stopped the car, "Your first mistake is to think that I will let you live until you make the second mistake." ”

When Jing Suke's neck was broken, he suddenly remembered Jing Qingyi's evaluation of Jing Zhengwei when he met Jing Qingworm a few days ago.

Cousin, Jing Zhengwei is indeed a hero, but he is not a hero of the Jing family, but a ...... Your own hero!
