Chapter 682: Fairy Card Drawing Machine (12)
Let's talk about after the separation.
The changes of Ding Yun's descendants and grandchildren.
I have a lot of private houses in my hands, and I am not very worried about the children and grandchildren in the future, as well as their eldest sons, most of them have no sense of crisis, and they are not in a hurry to do anything.
Start urging your child to study harder.
turned around and showed his face in front of Ding Yun.
And the other changes are almost zero, it is still time for leisure and leisure, it is time to watch the play, anyway, no one thinks about their own hard work, and the more motivated ones all put pressure on the juniors, because they feel that they are so old, and they are still motivated and work hard.
Of course, the child has to work hard!
Compared with these younger generations who have family background and confidence, those who are not favored, do not have much private money, and even have several children to marry, it is really difficult to calm down after the separation.
Basically, they all had to cut back on food and clothing.
And try to find a source of income.
It is commonly known as open source.
But ordinary work, not to mention that they can't pull down that face, even if they pull down that face, the three melons and two dates they earn are not enough for them to spend.
And with a high income, in addition to doing business, you have to be an official.
When they are officials, they can't do anything, they can't do martial arts, they don't even have a reputation for showing off their talents, and they are a fart, so in the end, they only have the only way to go in business.
Some want to buy some land and collect rent.
Some people want to buy a shop, or simply use their daughter-in-law's shop to try to do business.
Others urge their children to be motivated or self-motivated.
Or invest money in others.
For example, if a certain trading house wants to transport a batch of things to the north to sell, the profit of a round trip is definitely tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the risk is also large, and their family does not dare to bear it alone, so everyone needs to contribute together.
Or if a certain firm wants to go to sea, the same profit is quite high, as high as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the risk is also greater, in case something happens, not only will there be no return, but also have to bear the funeral expenses of the dead crew or something.
Ding Yun's great-grandsons and great-grandsons didn't dare to do anything illegal, so they could only choose among these paths, and they were the only ones who didn't take the road of doing business.
There are only three guys who have become forbidden soldiers.
……
And now it's been nearly a year since the separation.
There is a steady and steady progress, basically no loss, but I don't make much money, so I can only maintain daily eating, drinking, and chewing. There are risky investments that have been deceived, and they have no return, so they can only rely on their daughter-in-law's little dowry to survive.
There are also those who have been losing money in business and are reluctant to cut meat.
As for the only two who really made money, one was that his daughter-in-law was originally a businesswoman, and with the help of his daughter-in-law's mother's family, she was on the right track and could make some money.
There is also a family that was lucky enough to invest and was not deceived, and then the ship also returned smoothly, and the original investment of 2,000 taels of silver tripled, and 6,000 taels of silver was recovered.
Generally speaking, the Qin family is at least no longer a pool of stagnant water, one by one knows that it is difficult to make money, knows that it is difficult to have no wealth and power, and knows that they are nothing when they leave the princess's mansion, and many people have finally corrected their attitudes.
Begin to accept reality and make changes.
As for the three children personally recommended by Ding Yunshang, two of them were too mediocre, and Emperor Longsheng gave each a martial artist who was a second-turn cloud cavalry captain, and they were all sent away.
This martial artist is basically equivalent to a seven-grade official, and the size is also a person who takes the imperial court, which can be regarded as eating official food.
There's no risk yet.
After all, what are the risks if you don't have to work?
The only one who barely passed the assessment was Qin Yuan, who was promoted to escort the guard, although this position was nominally to protect the emperor, but in fact, from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, it has basically not been used much, so the selection criteria have changed somewhat compared with the past.
The original selection criterion was burly and brave, and now the selection criterion is heroic and strong, the difference is mainly that the former looks at actual combat, and the latter looks more important than body type.
All in all, it's about looking at the face and looking at the figure.
You have to look good, have a standard figure, have a standard height, and so on, and in the case that the emperor himself is not in danger, of course, he has to do a good job of face engineering.
Escorting and guarding is one of the face projects.
Qin Yuan was elected because his appearance, figure and height met the standards, and as for the other two who were unsuccessful, one was a little stumbling and looking old.
The other one is that he is taller.
A head taller than the emperor.
Can that be appropriate, obviously not!
The height standard of the guards is to be slightly shorter than the emperor, and then everyone has to be about the same height, so that it looks uniform.
However, this position is said to be promising, at least it can be regarded as a person around the emperor, but what kind of credit can it make.
Then you have to count on someone to assassinate the emperor.
In short, the room for promotion is quite limited!
Ding Yun understood the situation a little, and he didn't expect anything, it seems that the hope of their family still has to fall on the remaining underage children, and now these are basically wasted, it would be good to keep the family business and pass it on, and he can't expect any success or achievement.
However, Ding Yun didn't bother to be harsh on them, so he didn't criticize any of them during the New Year, and even specially took 10,000 taels of silver from this year's income to give them red envelopes, because of the large population, even if Ding Yun didn't give red envelopes to a few older children and grandchildren, the remaining children each got a hundred taels.
After distributing the red envelopes, I had another meal.
Ding Yun sent them all away.
And after the New Year, the weavers and embroiderers hired by Ding Yun finally basically learned the new techniques taught to them by Ding Yun, and the rest is nothing more than a skilled process.
At this point, Ding Yun began to move on to the next step.
Textile mills were built and textile academies were built to sell only high-end new fabrics, i.e. special fabrics that had not yet appeared in this world, and textile academies were places where the process of making new fabrics was taught.
As for the teachers, those weavers and embroiderers are not ready-made teachers, and they save Ding Yun his own trouble.
It may seem like a bit thankless.
Cultivate competitors for yourself.
But Ding Yun is not short of silver, what she mainly wants is influence, and she is too lazy to toss and rebel at such an old age in this world, so she can only start from other directions, for example, the direction of Huang Daopo.
The reason why a textile factory was also built to sell new fabrics.
That's mainly to make a name for herself in the Textile Institute, otherwise she would have run the Textile College directly.
If the influence gained by doing this is not enough, then she will change direction in two years, anyway, she can only draw cards once, and there will be a free chance to draw fairy cards every year?
I don't believe that I can't draw useful fairy cards.
It's really not good, and you can't also draw kryptonite cards.
Or just localize other world technologies!
She had no shortage of ways to gain influence anyway.
