Zhang Tianci was just about to reply, when he saw Xiao Feng getting down from the carriage, he immediately smiled and ran up. The lady of the Zhang family also shut up immediately.

"Big brother, why do you have time to come to my house? If there's something you can tell me about, I'll just go over! ”

Xiao Feng glanced at him, nodded at the Zhang family lady and the water girl with a smile, and the Zhang family lady let go of Zhang Yunqing and took the water girl to return the salute.

"I'm fine, I'm just coming to see you. Let's eat at your house in the evening, and I'll talk to you about some words. ”

Zhang Tianci hurriedly called the housekeeper Zhang Er and asked him to arrange wine and food. The lady of the Zhang family secretly pinched Zhang Yunqing and pinched Zhang Yunqing to grin.

"Did you say something to Lord Xiao? Did your dad tell you something? A pair of things without conscience! ”

The food and drinks are ready, and everyone is seated. Zhang Tianci and Zhang Yunqing were next to Xiao Feng, and the lady of the Zhang family took the water girl to sit down. That's the good thing about Tongjia.

Xiao Feng poured the first glass of wine, ignoring Zhang Tianci, who was holding the wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with him, but first toasted the lady of the Zhang family.

"Sister-in-law, this first glass of wine was given to you by Xiao Feng."

Everyone was stunned, and the lady of the Zhang family hurriedly stood up: "Lord Xiao is serious, you only have kindness to my family, and you have no debts, how can you apologize?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "Zhang Tianci and I are brothers, I care too much about his feelings and ignore my sister-in-law's feelings, it is indeed wrong." ”

The lady of the Zhang family is a smart person, and when she heard it, she knew that Xiao Feng was talking about the water girl, she looked at the water girl who hung her head and didn't dare to speak, and her face turned red.

She drank the wine simply, sat down and reached out to wrap her arms around the water girl's shoulder, and glared at Zhang Tianci fiercely.

"Lord Xiao, don't say that. Actually, to say that the water girl entered the door, I was not uncomfortable at all, but that would be a lie.

But these days, after getting along, the water girl is not bad at all, and I see her as my sister from my heart.

Give her some face these days, it's not at her, isn't it making that conscienceless thing angry! ”

Zhang Tianci wanted to defend himself, but Xiao Feng glanced at him, and he immediately retracted.

"What's that, I'll have a drink!"

"This second glass of wine, I still salute my sister-in-law, and I still apologize to you. I felt that I could make decisions for Zhang Tianci, but I ignored that this home is also my sister-in-law's home. ”

Everyone was stunned again, but it was the lady of the Zhang family who reacted first, she picked up the wine glass, drank it all with a red face, but shed tears.

"Lord Xiao, when you say that, I am more and more embarrassed. It's not that I'm stingy, it's such a big deal, he doesn't even say a word to me......"

Xiao Feng sighed: "The impact of the environment on people is huge. I don't think I'm an arrogant person, and I've always respected women.

But before I knew it, I was also affected by the environment. It's okay not to tell Xue'er what I do in the court, and she really doesn't understand those things.

But later, when dealing with family affairs and even family belongings, I became like this.

It's as if I earn all the money in my family, so I can make my own decisions as a matter of course. ”

Zhang Tianci blinked: "Big brother, shouldn't it be like this?" ”

Xiao Feng said with a straight face: "Well, this is indeed the case now, and everyone is used to it."

Women are completely appendages of men, and even women themselves belong to men, and the property and children of the family are naturally also men's.

To put it nicely, there is a difference between inside and outside, and each has its own division of labor; To put it mildly, a woman is just a high-level slave in her life.

Some men have no money and can't live, and the most common way is to sell their daughters and wives, and their wives have no right to object, and no one thinks there is anything wrong! ”

A sentence that made everyone gloomy. The water girl is a person who has been sold by her parents, and she empathizes with her, and she has already burst into tears.

Zhang Tianci drank a glass of wine and blushed: "Lao Tzu looks down on this kind of person!" When Lao Tzu went bankrupt, he never thought that he would sell his daughter and wife! If you want to starve to death, Lao Tzu will starve to death first! ”

The lady of the Zhang family looked at Zhang Tianci and finally gave him a smile, Zhang Tianci couldn't help but flutter, and quickly poured herself another cup.

Xiao Feng smiled: "Today, the imperial court has decided to build a women's school, where women can work, conduct scientific examinations, and become officials."

Maybe only a few women's fate will be changed at the beginning, but over time, the world will slowly change after all. ”

The three women were all leisurely fascinated, especially Zhang Yunqing, who looked eager to try. Xiao Feng looked at Zhang Yunqing and couldn't help but smile.

If a woman's greatest dream in life is to become a man's wife and concubine, this is a very sad thing in itself.

The lady of the Zhang family raised her wine glass with a red face: "Lord Xiao, I am a merchant, and my father was a businessman back then.

Since I was a child, I was at home, and I helped my father settle accounts and come up with ideas. So from my heart, I have the atmosphere of businessmen and heavy profits.

In addition, this family was once on the verge of bankruptcy, and Tan Xinren forced us to sell Yunqing. The whole family was scared during those days, and I was really scared.

The main thing is that he has no conscience, he didn't tell me about such a big thing, I still knew it by looking at the account book at the end of the year, and I didn't figure it out for a while, so I quarreled with him.

This little thing also alarmed you, and asked you to come to our family for mediation, which really made me embarrassed. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled: "It's not a trivial matter. I came this time to tell Zhang Tianci that in the future, I must discuss with my sister-in-law about such a major decision involving family property and children.

The second is to explain to you why I want to donate all the benefits from the WTO accession concept to build a water division.

I asked Zhang Tianci to respect my sister-in-law, and I also had to respect Zhang Tianci. You can't just have no scruples just because you have a good relationship."

Zhang Tianci hurriedly said: "What the eldest brother says is what it is, I believe the eldest brother, I didn't want to tell the lady, I just forgot about it, and she made a fuss." ”

The lady of the Zhang family glared at Zhang Tianci, Xiao Feng drank a glass of wine, and said with a serious expression.

"The first reason is public heart: I was dead at the time, and I expected that someone in the DPRK and China would delay or even prevent the establishment of the water division.

And the most likely reason they use is that the court is short of money and food. But the water master is the future of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not slow down.

So I prepared the suicide note at the beginning, and I also told Zhang Tianci that I would donate the income from the WTO view. ”

Zhang Tianci nodded again and again: "Big brother is right!" ”

Xiao Feng glanced at the lady of the Zhang family, and saw that although she also nodded, she was obviously still a little distressed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The second reason is selfishness: since I am dead, Zhang Tianci's biggest backer is gone, and I am worried that your Zhang family will be in great trouble."

Everyone was stunned, and the lady of the Zhang family looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, not knowing why he said this.

"Lord Xiao, the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed by you, and Yan Shifan is also dead, is there anyone else who will harm us?"

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly: "It will not be these people who will harm you, but people in the court, even long live." ”

At this time, even Zhang Tianci was stunned: "Big brother, we do our business as we do, never cheat, never make money, why would the court harm me?" ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "God's gift, Tan Xinren was the richest man in the capital back then, how much money did he have?"

The total assets are about 500,000 taels. In a short period of time, the cash flow of 300,000 taels of silver crushed him.

How much money do we have now? Do you know? Have you counted? ”

Zhang Tianci estimated in his heart that this is really not easy to calculate, but his current business plate is too big.

When talking about the peak of Xinren, it was just a semicolon in several famous provincial capitals across the country, but Zhang Tianci's current semicolons have all been opened to the county seat!

When Zhang Tianci was still thinking in his heart, the lady of the Zhang family said softly.

"The total amount of cash in each business is about one million taels, and the shops in various places are converted at half price, and they can also be worth one million taels."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Not counting the concept of WTO accession, how much money can be earned in a year for all kinds of industries under the Tianci firm?" ”

The voice of the Zhang family lady was even quieter: "In the past two years, I have been able to earn about 200,000 taels a year, and this year it should be more."

The number of franchise stores in Zuisenlou has been increasing, and the scale of the construction team is also expanding, and the shipyard of the sailor and the construction of the farming area in the Kanto region are all done by us.

All kinds of seeds found from overseas are distributed to farmers free of charge, and contracts are signed by Tianci Grain Bank to purchase and monopolize them, which is also very profitable.

The most profitable is the Tianci Liquor Store, that Tianci Xiaotan is very profitable, and now it is a must-have wine for rich people to feast officials, the price has been rising, and dealers can't grab the goods. ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "In fact, not only businessmen, including landlords and gentry, all rich people must have a limit to the degree of wealth."

Do you think rich is a good word? If a person is really rich, there are only two ways left for this person.

Either rebel and become the emperor, or wait for the day when your family is bankrupt and you will die without a place to bury! Shen Wansan is a living example. ”

Zhang Tianci was frightened into a cold sweat: "That's why eldest brother, you handed over the business of entering the WTO to the imperial court for such a reason......"

Xiao Feng nodded: "The business of joining the WTO is too profitable. We were short of money in the early days, and it was a last resort to earn money for two years with the concept of WTO accession.

The most important thing is that in the business of WTO accession, from the very beginning of the earthen horn, to the telescope, to the stainless steel knife, to the gunpowder, to the musket, these are all military products, and they are all monopoly business.

These businesses, from the bones, must belong to the imperial court. If you hold it in your hands, you will bring it upon yourself.

There was no money at first, so I took the risk and held it for two years. Now that you have the oil on your hands, you have to let go quickly. Even if I don't die once, I have to find a suitable opportunity to hand it over.

Only MSG, which does not involve military issues. However, we have made so much money from the concept of WTO accession, even if it is the interest paid back to the imperial court. ”

Zhang Tianci suddenly blessed his soul: "Big brother, did you also have this purpose when you established Guofang?" ”

Xiao Feng looked at Zhang Tianci and nodded approvingly, feeling that the vice president of the company had finally opened his mind.

"Yes, these businesses are managed by the imperial court, and they are a big piece of fat. Long live looking at the greed, the ministers are even more greedy.

No matter which one it is handed over, whether it is the household department or the Ministry of Industry, other departments will never cooperate, but will only hinder!

That's why I want to set up a separate national square, and use this national square to earn money to support the incorruptible, to build the army, and to become rich and powerful! ”

The lady of the Zhang family was flushed, and stood up to give Xiao Fengfu a salute.

"Lord Xiao, don't be like me, I'm indeed narrow-minded and short-sighted.

Lord Xiao, you are thinking about the Zhang family, but I am still awkward in my heart, it is really impossible to speak.

To tell you the truth, I've always been a bit contemptuous of fairness when it comes to doing business. Because since marrying Xianggong, I have always helped him come up with ideas in business.

I also often think that if it weren't for the fact that women are not allowed to show up in this world, I must be a hundred times better than my husband in business.

Since Xianggong met Lord Xiao, he obeyed Lord Xiao's words and didn't discuss anything with me much, and I was a little lost in my heart.

This time, when I checked the account book, I found that all the profits from the WTO View had been donated, and when I asked him, he just said lightly, 'Big brother is set, why do you ask so much.' ’

I asked him why he was donating, and he said the same thing, and I got angry. Normally, as long as I am angry, he will coax me, but this time he brushed his sleeves away, and I was even more angry.

But now I understand that Xianggong may indeed be inferior to me in business, but his way of life and the vision of people, I am far inferior to him. ”

Zhang Tianci's mouth grinned to the edge of his ears when he said this, and he quickly got up to toast Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng glanced at him, angry and funny.

"What are you proud of? You used to quarrel with your mother, at most, you just went to the Qinglou to hang around, and you still had to go home at night.

Now that you have married the water girl back home, you have relied on, and you have refused to go back to the house for many days, do you still think that you have done the right thing?

The water girls know to shut you out. Family and everything is prosperous, this truth is understood by the water girl, you are a family member, you don't understand? ”

Zhang Tianci touched the wine glass that Xiao Feng put on the table in a daze, punished himself with a glass, and then said embarrassedly.

"I didn't want to be angry with her, but I really didn't understand why I was donating, and she had to ask, so I simply avoided her."

Xiao Feng reluctantly raised the wine glass, Zhang Tianci clinked his glasses, he definitely couldn't help but drink, the old saying in his previous life: out of Shanhaiguan, you have to do it if you clink glasses......

"If you don't understand, you can come and ask me. I did forget about it when I came back to life. ”

Zhang Tianci grinned: "How many big things do you have all day long, if I ask you if I don't understand something, I won't be annoyed to death?" ”

Xiao Feng's heart warmed and smiled: "Now your business is too big, and it is also difficult to rely on you to support it."

As you can see from the fact that I just asked how much money you can make in a year, my sister-in-law is indeed much more savvy than you in this regard, and I have an idea.

Let your sister-in-law come forward and help you manage your business. The affairs of the family can be left to the water girl to take care of. She has taken care of Chunyan Tower, and it is not a problem to manage you in a Zhang Mansion. ”

Zhang Tianci glanced at the lady: "I'm nothing, but I don't know if she is willing, after all, businessmen run around, and it is very hard." ”

The lady of the Zhang family smiled and toasted Xiao Feng with a glass of wine, and drank it all in a heroic manner.

"I know what Lord Xiao means, Lord Xiao wants to let the women of the world make a difference, several ladies are on the street today, and my Zhang family can't be left behind.

Since I was a child, I wanted to truly experience the feeling of crisscrossing the business world, and Lord Xiao's move has fulfilled my dream since childhood, and I thank you! ”

When the banquet was coming to an end, Xiao Feng called Zhang Tianci outside and asked in a low voice.

"Godci, you have such a good relationship with your mother, why do you only have one daughter, Zhang Yunqing, why didn't you have a child later?"

Zhang Tianci sighed: "I don't know what the reason for this is, but after the water girl redeemed herself and didn't accept customers, she didn't take the medicine of Qinglou for a long time."

It's been a long time, and there has been no movement, so I guess it's still my business. In the early years, I socialized a lot, but my body was not very good. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, and took out two pills from his body: "Take one every three days to condition your body, remember, give priority to your mother."

Although I personally don't attach much importance to the concubine, but this is the case after all in this era, if you can have a son, it is best to have a concubine first. ”

Zhang Tianci was like a treasure, put it in his arms, returned to the banquet, picked up a glass of wine, thought about it and put it down, worried that it would affect the efficacy of the medicine.

He then poured wine for the lady, and said in a very low voice: "Lady, let me go back to live at night, the eldest brother gave me medicine......"

The lady of the Zhang family blushed and pinched him fiercely, and the water girl pursed her lips and smiled, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After eating, Xiao Feng took Zhang Yunqing home, and in the carriage, Zhang Yunqing was surprisingly quiet. Xiao Feng looked at her.

"What's the matter, you didn't talk much during dinner today, your parents are as good as ever, do you still have anything to worry about?"

Zhang Yunqing looked at Xiao Feng: "Brother Xiao, am I too unproductive?" I have known to play since I was a child, and when I met you, I followed you with one mind.

Looking at my mother today, I realized that my mother was such an ambitious person, but people didn't allow women to come forward, so she had to endure it.

I only realized today why my mother was so angry every time my father made a mistake in business.

Not only did she feel sorry for the money, but she actually hated herself for being trapped at home, so she could only watch ......"

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Yunqing, everyone has their own happiness." There's nothing wrong with not having big ambitions, as long as you like it.

I still say that only after people have the right to choose can they really say what happiness is, otherwise it is all false.

For thousands of years, people have rarely given women the opportunity to choose, just told them that a woman's three virtues are happiness, don't think about anything else.

In fact, women are not stupider than men, and in many fields, they may be smarter than men, but they never have the opportunity to show it. ”

Zhang Yunqing blinked: "Brother Xiao, were you a woman in your last life, so you are willing to offend men all over the world and help women speak?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled dumbly: "I'm actually not that great, I didn't lie to my senior brother, this matter is really related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty."

If the Ming Dynasty was just a closed dynasty, it would not be a mistake to trap women at home. There are pros and cons in everything, and if a woman stays at home, there will be a lot less trouble in the world.

A closed dynasty, as long as it can guarantee that the people will not rebel; But when foreign enemies invade, the dynasty must be strong enough to survive.

Even if Da Ming wants to be closed, the world will move forward. If Daming wants to develop as soon as possible, he can't tie one arm and scrap one leg.

Women stay at home, which is the characteristic of agricultural civilization. But Da Ming, after all, can't always rely on farming to compete with the world......"

Zhang Yunqing pondered for a long time, and resolutely raised his head: "Brother Xiao, I want to go to the girls' school, I want to learn more things, like my mother helps my father, help you!" ”
