Chapter 372
His surname is Yue, born in the 25th year of Kangxi, and he is only 20 years old now.

He is Yue Fei's No.20 first grandson and descendant of Yue Fei's third son, Yue Lin. He was born in a family of military generals.

Maybe in other dynasties, he could be respected by the world, or because he was a descendant of Yue Fei, he would be a great minister, but this was in the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone knows that the ancestors of the Qing royal family were the Jurchens.

And Yue Fei fought against the Kingdom of Jin, but the Kingdom of Jin was a dynasty established by the Jurchen tribe.Therefore, the Manchus are quite afraid of the descendants of the Yue family.

Although Yue Zhongqi was born as a Jinshi and was a martial arts examiner, his future was limitless, but he was still sent to Guangzhou Mansion as a small soldier.

If there are still a few people in the entire military camp who have survived the mud, then Yue Zhongqi is one of them.

Yes, the administration of officials in the entire Guangzhou government, and even the top-to-bottom officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, are riddled with holes from the thirteen lines.

The government recruited thirteen relatively powerful commercial firms to act as agents of overseas trade business, and the thirteen firms provided a large number of rare foreign goods for the royal life.

Later, the number of merchants fluctuated, ranging from four to more than 20 at most, and their real name was "Foreign Firm".

But "Thirteen Lines" has always been the customary title of this businessman team.

The four major merchants of the Thirteen Banks, Pan, Wu, Lu, and Ye, have a combined family property that is more than the annual income of the national treasury, and they are truly "wealthy."

Ye's ancestral home is Nan'an Prefecture, Qianzhou, Yuzhang City, and runs Yichengxing.Yejia Manor was built in Pantang.

The luxurious manor of the Pan family, one of the giants of foreign firms, is built on the bank of the Pearl River, with a grand style.

The most important thing is that all imperial envoys, governors and foreign envoys, if they come to Guangzhou, they will not live in post houses, but will meet in Panjiayuan.

And the Wu family is not to be outdone, the Wu family's mansion is on the other side of Pan Yuan, complementing each other.

The purpose of the fourth master's trip is to rectify the administration of Guangdong and Guangxi, eliminate corrupt officials, and bring the operation of the thirteen industries back on track.

As for him and Zhang Tingyu secretly muttering about who they wanted to pull off, Li Jingui said he didn't want to know.

This is a matter for men, so fourth master naturally has a reason why he has to do it.

At this time, the three men were drinking in the kitchen, and the two women, Li Jingui and Lan Qier, naturally had to avoid them.

"This young man seems to have good skills, and he caused quite a stir when he entered Beijing."

"Many Baturu of the Qing Dynasty went to challenge him, saying that he would be ashamed."

Li Jingui scoffed. Although the Manchus promoted the Manchu family, they still looked down on the Han people in their bones.

Isn't it Yue Fei, the ancestor of Yue Zhongqi, who fought against gold?Is this a matter of hundreds of years?Still chattering.

But Li Jingui won't announce it, because Lan Qier is the princess of the Qing Dynasty.

In the kitchen at this time, the three men drank booze again and again, and the wine was in full swing.

"I don't know what Chief Yue thinks about the ancestor Yue Fei's fight against gold?"

Yue Zhongqi paused for a moment with the hand holding the wine cup, and then again, these Manchurians always like to ask this question.

"Times have changed, and now I am a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, so I naturally have to follow the example of my ancestors and serve the country faithfully!"

"Okay! What a time has changed, what a loyal service to the country!"

As a Hanchen, Zhang Tingyu had a deep understanding, and couldn't help clapping his hands at this moment.

And Yinzhen only lowered his eyes faintly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Mr. Yue, do you know how many people in the Qing Dynasty will be killed by those medicines piled up on the pier? How many people's fat and medicine will be seized?"

"Don't listen, don't ask, and help the tyrant, is what you call serving the country with loyalty? Heh~"
