Chapter 115: This person has a noble spirit
Xu Da was stunned, but also calculated how much property Lu Ning had.
This guy claims that many of the industries under his name are all invented by himself, and the winery earns three million taels a year, which is simply a money-printing machine.
Since Shen Wansan, a businessman in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has always begun to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and demoted this rich man to a remote place.
If Lu Ning didn't have the title of viscount and the position of county order, I am afraid that his family property would also become a piece of fat in the mouth of the imperial court.
Xu Da has mixed feelings in his heart, if Lu Ning, a wealthy businessman, becomes his son-in-law, then it is needless to say that he is prosperous and rich, but the danger factor is also quite high.
So, he decided to persuade Lu Ning to be more restrained, at least not to make so much money, he said directly to Lu Ning.
"Brother Zi'an, I might as well tell you clearly, although you don't have an official reputation, but you are a very capable person, and you have such a good heart, you should go to the next level in your career."
Lu Ning shook his head, and he replied helplessly.
"Brother, I already told you, my family property is too much, even if I lie down and eat gold, I can't eat it all in this life, what am I doing all those useless things, not to mention the viscount, it's not uncommon to give a duke."
In all fairness, there was nothing wrong with Lu Ning's words, and Xu Da couldn't find anything to refute.
But since this person really wants to be his son-in-law in the future, he must save him, and this kind of rich country is not a good thing.
"But your way of making money is too beyond ordinary people, and your family assets are so rich, it is a bit modest to say that you are the richest man in Changning, Ying Tianfu is estimated to be as rich as you, aren't you afraid that the court will target you?"
This should be regarded as a piece of advice, Lu Ning was naturally grateful in his heart, so he said.
"In fact, although I can make money, but I can also spend money, the money spent over the years is like water, I know that saving money for my children and grandchildren is not as good as saving virtue, so this money is all used for people's livelihood."
Xu Da was once again refreshed by Lu Ning's words, and he only knew that every time the conversation was in-depth, he could get a surprise.
"Then tell me, how do you use this money to save virtue for your children and grandchildren?"
Lu Ning nodded indifferently and told Xu Da.
"I think brother, you should have passed by all kinds of asphalt roads when you came, and now the Changzhou government has built most of the customs roads into asphalt roads, and this time there is a lot of silver, all of which are my own money, and I didn't let the government pay."
Xu Dagang wanted to praise a few words, but Lu Ning continued.
"And the counties under the Changzhou government, all of which are modeled after Changning's infrastructure, have set up projects such as county hospitals, nursing homes and welfare homes, as well as free restaurants for all kinds of workers and cleaning staff, all of which I spent my money."
Hearing this, Xu Da couldn't help but give Lu Ning a thumbs up, and he said directly.
"People say that businessmen value profit over separation, and they can't wait to break every penny they earn and spend it in half, but you can be so righteous and squandered money, which is really a rare thing, and it is also worth floating with Xiaoyou."
Lu Ning shook his head, and then said to Xu Da.
"You just finished the operation just now, let's talk about the drinking later, but I haven't finished talking about it yet, these places where money is spent, I do it in the name of the imperial court, I said that I did these things according to the will of the imperial court, so that the people can thank the emperor for his kindness, and it has nothing to do with me Lu Zi'an."
If Xu Da was only a little surprised after listening to Lu Ning's words just now, now he is shocked!
Lu Ning seems to have a big personality, and he only shouts to eat and wait for death, but he has such a mind, which is really rare.
has done so many good things for the local people, but all the credit is put on the court and the emperor, which is called buying goodness for the king, which has the style of Meng Weijun in ancient times.
Xu Da is now more and more interested in this future son-in-law, and he can be regarded as recognizing Xu Miaojin's vision.
But as the prince of the dynasty, his son-in-law is only a viscount, so he still has no face, so he persuaded again.
"Brother, I fully understand what you said, but I still think that with your talent and mind, if you really want to climb up, it will not be difficult to be a national prince."
Lu Ning shook his head with a smile, and he directly rejected Xu Da.
"The main thing is that I don't think about it so much, isn't it fragrant when I eat it and wait for him to die? There is nothing good about the Duke's House, the higher you climb to the point where you fall, the harder it becomes. ”
Hearing this, Xu Da really didn't know what to say, so he returned to the small courtyard with him, sat down and talked for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.
After Xu Da left, Fu Bo came over and said to Lu Ning.
"Young master, no matter how I think of it, the person just now doesn't look like a simple businessman, because there is a faint sense of nobility on him, and it is likely that he is an official who has paid a private visit."
Lu Ning glanced at Fu Bo and replied with an indifferent smile.
"Fauber, it has nothing to do with me who this person loves, anyway, I didn't even ask his name, but he has been persuading me to progress in my career, and I guess I am not the same person."
Fu Bo followed Lu Ning's words and said with a smile.
"Where does the young master have any official titles in his heart, now you only think about that Miss Xu, I just hope that you can get what you want and marry her into the door as soon as possible."
Lu Ning sighed softly, and he said helplessly.
"Actually, it's not just this Miss Xu, but also the Miss Cao who only showed one side and didn't have a chance to see each other again, they are also all beautiful women in the city, if I can, I want to marry both of them!"
Fu Bo turned to leave, Lu Ning thought for a while, and felt that this idea seemed a little unrealistic.
With such a superb beauty, it is a blessing that she can marry one.
