The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 102 Rumors
In the title system of the Daedeok Dynasty, below the emperor is the king.

Kings are divided into kings with the same surname and kings of the opposite sex.The kings with the same surname belong to the royal family, and are sometimes called princes.The current king with a different surname is also called the king of the county.

The titles below the king are Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Nan.Each title can be divided into several levels.

Such a system of princes and princes constituted the noble group of the Dade Dynasty.

The so-called honor, the key word lies in the word "Xun".

"Xun" means meritorious service.The reason why these princes have such a status is that they made contributions when the Dade Dynasty was first established.Therefore, their descendants can enjoy the shadow of their ancestors.

The afterglow of ancestors can be roughly divided into two parts.

One is economic interests, mainly some land, property, servants, etc.

Just like the [-] to [-] acres of land scattered in Rongguo Mansion, all of them were left by the ancestors.Property refers to various physical objects such as money, antiques, and objects.Servants mainly come from former prisoners of war, family members and servants of the prisoner's family.

The second is political treatment.This kind of treatment can generally be summed up by the saying of sealing a wife and a son.

Sealing a wife means that the wife is honored, such as ordering his wife or something.Yinzi is hereditary.Hereditary property and titles, among other privileges.

The honorable group and the civil official group constituted the two pillars of the ruling system of the Daedeok Dynasty.Although they are now in decline compared to their ancestors, they are still a powerful force.

Even so, within the Xungui Group, the power is also uneven.Although some still claim to be aristocratic families, they are no longer what they used to be, leaving only an empty shelf.The gold and jade are ruined in it.

For example, Jia Mu's natal family historian has now clearly declined.Some female celebrities in the family were made by the masters themselves.Shi Xiangyun often wants to be a female celebrity at home.

Of course, there are quite a few prosperous families.The most typical ones are the "Four Kings".

Not to mention the king of Beijing Jing, the strength of the other three kings alone cannot be underestimated.

For the other three kings, the mansion of the imperial capital is actually just the tip of the iceberg.Their true strength lies in their own fiefdom.

San Francisco not only has a lot of property in its hands, but also has a large number of troops in its hands because it guards the border.

The San Francisco was left over from the founding of the Dade Dynasty.Later, there was a motion to withdraw the feudal clan, but it has not been withdrawn.

During the period of the first emperor, there was a motion to withdraw the domain, but it was not withdrawn in the end.

After the current emperor Yuanheng ascended the throne, he also wanted to withdraw the domain, but in the end it was nothing.

In private, some people once called San Francisco "on the half of the river". Although it may not be accurate, it can be seen from this that the strength of San Francisco is strong.

Song Kuan, the heir to the Dongping Palace, one of the San Francisco, came to make friends with Jia Min, and Jia Min had to be vigilant.

"Today in Yuhua Building, I met Miss Gu Panpan, and he even asked about Brother Min."

Feng Ziying drank the wine slowly and said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Why did she ask me?"

"It's probably just a random question. However, she revealed a piece of news."

"what news?"

"It is said that Niu Jizong and his carriage have found a new home, and there will be results soon."

"This is a new thing. Who has the guts to take on this business? This business is not easy to do. It may not be easy to make money."

"She didn't say that. However, Niu Jizong and the others had a drink with Luo Hanlin in Yuhua Building yesterday. Gu Panpan probably got the news from this channel."

"You mean, Luo Hanlin found them a next home?"

"There is no evidence for this yet. However, I ran into Liu Fang today, and that kid looked smug, as if there was something happy about it."

"His biggest happy event at the moment is to get rid of the bus and carriage. Now that he has an idea, he is naturally happy. It's just that he doesn't know who will be unlucky next. Maybe it's a wealthy businessman from another province."

"People from other provinces want to gain a foothold in the imperial capital. Without connections in the imperial capital, it is difficult to gain a foothold,"

"That's not necessarily the case. The key to making money lies in the prospect and business model of the project itself. As long as there is potential, you can find contacts wherever you go."

"Brother Min has insight after all."

"Where is it, I just know something that others don't know."

After breaking up with Feng Ziying, Jia Min came to Shen Bingyi.One is to stay here tonight, but to send money to her.

It's not other money, but money to Sun Xiucai from Fengtian, Zhang Xiucai from Wanping and Lu Jiansheng from Guozijian.

In the previous sale of Amano Toju, several people acted as babysitters, and now they need to give back to others.

With the hot sales scene that day, even without them, it would have gone smoothly.But since it was agreed at the beginning, and several people really contributed to it, it is natural that money should be given.

It turned out that part of the payment had already been made in advance, but now there is still a balance of 100 taels per person.This amount of money is nothing to Jia Min now. Giving it to them not only maintains their reputation, but also lays a foundation for their continued relationship in the future.

Although these candidates seem inconspicuous now, and some of them even look poor and destitute, once they are awarded Jinshi, they will be like carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and the future will be smooth.Put it outside, it may be a county magistrate.You never know when it will come in handy.

"I've already given them the money, so why should fourth master take it?"

As Shen Bingyi spoke, she showed a look of anger, showing amorous feelings.

"I should have paid the money, how can I ask you to take it. Since it's all taken, you can keep it."

"Fourth Master is heresy with me after all, why do you and I have to be so clear?"

It became a little resentful.

"Bing Yi's affection has already moved me. If I ask you to pay for me again, I will feel even more uneasy. In the future, maybe I won't be able to come here often."

"Fourth master is leaving the imperial capital?"

"You know that too?"

"This matter has almost spread throughout the city, so the slave family naturally knows about it. Sigh, I really don't know what you think in your mansion. Even a talent like Fourth Master can't tolerate it. Isn't this self-defeating?"

"Differences do not conspire with each other. He takes his Yangguan way, and I take my single-plank bridge. I won't be angry with them in the future."

"What are your plans for the fourth master in the future? My family is preparing to return to the south. If the fourth master is interested, why not go with me?"

The relationship between Jia Min and Shen Bingyi is now a rather strange relationship.

On the one hand, the two already have a skin-to-skin relationship, which can be regarded as a very close relationship.

On the other hand, it seems to be limited to this relationship.Neither Jia Min nor Shen Bingyi had the idea of ​​pushing the relationship further.

Jia Min has also evaluated this, and the result is still the same.Even if she has no idea of ​​taking Shen Bingyi as a concubine in the future.

It seems that Shen Bingyi has never mentioned anything to Jia Min in this regard, not even a hint.

If you barely position yourself, you can only be regarded as a confidante.

So Jia Min didn't have any pressure on Shen Bingyi's proposal.

Because of Jia Min's suggestion, Shen Bingyi bet 1000 taels of silver at Liansheng Casino this time, bought Jia Min to win, and finally got 1 taels, which is considered a big profit.

Or it was because he had earned enough money that he thought about going back to his hometown.Going with Shen Bingyi is also an option, but because Jia Min still has to take the martial arts exam, he can't go with her yet.

Besides, with his own abilities, he didn't need to rely on Shen Bingyi to pave the way for him.

"I'm planning to go back to my hometown. Next year I plan to take the exam for fame and I have to prepare for my homework."

"That's the right way. With fourth master's talent, it's easy to get a good name."

"How can it be so easy, do you think I'm the only smart person in the world?"

"In the eyes of the Yinu family, fourth master is the smartest one in the world."

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words, I am the smartest one in the world."

Shen Bingyi laughed awkwardly.

"What are you laughing about?"

"I laugh at Fourth Master because he is different from others. When others encounter compliments, they always decline them modestly, but Fourth Master accepts them calmly."

"That's because they don't have the ability. How can there be a few people as capable as me?"

"Of course Fourth Master is capable, but what about other abilities?"

Something else?Looking at Shen Bingyi's shy expression, Jia Min understood what she meant.

"You have also tried other skills, why did you forget them so quickly?"

"That was before, who knows what's going on now?"

"Since that's the case, why not try it now?"

"Si Ye knows how to say such embarrassing things, so I won't try it with you."

Although he said so, his body leaned over, so the two of them walked towards the bed.

Suddenly, Shen Bingyi stopped again.

"There is one thing, I almost forgot to tell fourth master."

"whats the matter?"

"I heard from the sisters in Yuhualou that it was Niu Jizong's business carriage. However, since the fourth master is leaving, it has nothing to do with the fourth master."

"Oh, I know that too."

"In the end, fourth master is well informed. Even if he is about to leave, he will know everything in the mansion."

"What's the matter in the mansion? What's the matter in the mansion?"

"It's about your Jia's taking over Niu Jizong's bus and carriage. At first, I thought it was the fourth master who was taking over the business and was preparing to invest in it. Now that the fourth master is leaving, the slave family will not make such a plan."

This time, Jia Min was quite surprised.He never expected that in the end it was the Jia family who took over the business.

"Is the news accurate?"

"It was the sisters from Yuhualou who came to talk about it. It was said that Niu Jizong and the others discussed it when they were drinking there yesterday. I have no way of knowing what happened. It's just that the business was originally proposed by the fourth master, and Niu Jizong and the others didn't do it. Can the Jia family be able to do it?"

"Maybe they have their reasons. There are smart people in Jia's mansion."

What does it have to do with me if they want to take over?Maybe they really have some way to turn things around.

Besides, it's just talk and talk, and it may not be true.Maybe it was the smoke bomb that Niu Jizong and the others deliberately released.
