Chapter 2055 Gui Zi Juan Zi Ying trains the family members, and the three women stretch the strings
The Cao and Fan families have probably coveted the special relationship between the Wang family and themselves for a long time. They cannot win in the competition between Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, or it is difficult to poach the Wang family, but in Shanshan, the Wang family does not have so much energy now. With all things considered, this is their opportunity.
For myself, this is also a win-win situation where everyone gets what they need.
It is still unknown what the situation in Shaanxi is. The intention agreement reached is just to lay the foundation for the next step when they can completely control the situation in Shaanxi. From this perspective, Cao and Fan are full of confidence in themselves.
Since it is an agreement, it is mutual. For now, the Cao and Fan families are more like a bet. They must provide themselves with support in all aspects in advance, the most important of which is money, food and various materials. Thirdly, they are in Shaanxi. Some connections on the side.
Since they came to the door on their own initiative, Feng Ziying was not polite. She asked for three hundred thousand taels of silver first, and then a batch of grain.
The Cao family has been farming in Shaanxi for many years, and their money and money are simple. It is not easy to come up with so much food, especially when Shaanxi is extremely short of food.
However, Cao Zhengxiu still agreed. Since he has decided to bet, he can no longer look forward and backward. This is the unanimous view of Cao Zhengxiu and Fan Yundeng.
Just as he was thinking about it, he walked to the backyard and heard Miaoyu's surprised voice: "Four more have been sent? Who sent them?"
"It's the two people I'm seeing guests at." The voice belonged to Yu Chuan'er. "Because I didn't get my permission, it should be left at the concierge now, but the servant went to take a look, and everyone was there. She is plump and well-dressed, and she is even better than ordinary ladies."
"It seems that our master is going to stay in Datong City for a few more days. We can no longer fit it in our house. In just a few days, eight people have come." Miaoyu sighed, "Some of them are here. Yes, it’s not enough if you refuse, but we don’t need so many people if you stay here.”
Bao Qin's voice was a little unconcerned, "I brought it as soon as it was delivered. I looked at the first four. To be honest, they are really not bad. After asking, I know a little about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrities are better. The little maids in our house are too far behind. If you don’t have any objection, then keep them. They will be useful in the future. We went to Xi’an Mansion. We are not familiar with the place and we will definitely need some help. Could we come back then? Recruitment?"
Xiuyan's voice: "Sister Qin is right. Going to Xi'an Mansion is not just a matter of a day or two. It may last two or three years. There will be a lot of manpower needed. I don't think there will be any problem if the heel and foot are clean." Yes, of course it can be used. If you look for it temporarily in Xi'an, you have to worry about whether it is available and whether there will be any problems."
Miaoyu was originally without any ideas. When Xiuyan said this, she felt it made sense and agreed.
Only then did Feng Ziying know that Cao Fan and Cao Fan had sent four more girls. It seemed that they all knew that she had the habit of being weak and sick, and they wanted to do what they wanted. However, Cao Fan and Cao Fan were even more reliable than Cui Chengxiu. Feng Ziying is quite certain about this.
This generous gift is actually a test to see if you are willing to accept it.
"Okay, we're all a family, why should we be so polite? I heard it outside the door. If you want to stay, just stay. You just have to look at the distribution." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "I'm just afraid of it in the future. The more time we have to deal with them, the relationship will only get closer and closer.”
Baoqin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What you mean is that there will be more connections in Shaanxi in the future. Will it be helpful to my work in Shaanxi?"
"Well, it can be considered a win-win cooperation." Feng Ziying nodded, "Both Cao and Fan's families are members of the Eight Great Merchants of Shanxi. They also cooperated in the past few years, but it was not the most important, but now they want to seize this opportunity. "
Baoqin understood, "We can do more business in the future."
Feng Ziying glanced at Bao Qin and laughed, "It's not easy to deal with this group of Shanxi merchants. Their minds are quite complex. Although they put profit first, they also have Lu Buwei's style of daring to gamble and dare to do anything. Bao Qin, you understand?"
Bao Qin blinked and said, "My husband, you mean that this group of people will support you because of their own interests, or they may betray you and oppose you because of their interests?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means. When you fail to provide him with enough benefits, or the temptation of greater benefits appears, maybe they will abandon you and betray you without hesitation." Feng Ziying nodded, "But for now It may be difficult for them to find a replacement for me."
Baoqin thought thoughtfully, "It's understandable that businessmen pursue profits, but how can your husband bind them firmly to your needs? This is a question that needs to be answered continuously, but I feel that my husband seems to be well-prepared?"
"It's well said. Continuously answering questions requires continuous interest orientation." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "In other words, there must be rules that are in line with businessmen's pursuit of interests, so that the rules and policies formulated by the court are beneficial to them. They Only in this way can they continue to support the imperial court. Judging from the previous situation, the imperial court's policies were either chaotic, or changed overnight, or lacked clear direction and were contradictory to each other. There was no better principle for resolving regional conflicts. Guidance, so businessmen can only place their hopes on a certain person, which also allows them to abandon these individuals for profit at any time.”
Feng Ziying's words made Baoqin fall into deep thought, while Miaoyu on the side was obviously difficult to understand, while Xiuyan was thinking hard.
As three high-status women, Feng Ziying inevitably had to deal with the wives and concubines of high-ranking officials in Shaanxi officialdom after arriving in Shaanxi.
The interactions between women often represent the collision of opinions and interests between men.
In addition to the relatives of officials, those gentry and merchants with status will also come into contact through this channel, so the three of them must keenly and accurately understand the true intention of these people to achieve a certain purpose through the back house channel.
The more chaotic Shaanxi becomes, the more problems they will face in the future. They have already felt the challenges brought about by this change of identity while still in Datong. After arriving in Xi'an, this challenge will be more severe.
As for the three of them, no one wants to fall behind in this challenge. This is not only a competition between the three of them, but also a competition between the second and third bedrooms. Even Miaoyu, who is still a little ignorant, has a vague feeling. When it comes to this particularity, I become a little nervous.
I wish my brothers and family happiness and health during the Mid-Autumn Festival!
