Jing Suke has been enjoying himself recently.
The first mock exam is earning large quantities of gold each day.
He not only has a different hospital in the inner city, but also has eight rooms in the outer city. After all, his wife is the daughter of the Zhou family and has always been tough. He has to sneak when buying a concubine.
Tobacco and iron have always been the two major industries of the Jingjia family, but the rise of the tobacco industry is quite legendary: before, the Jingjia family was only the owner of the coal mine who wrapped up mines to dig iron and coal. At that time, cigarettes were still a special offering that middle and upper class people could afford.
One day, when the owner of the Jing family finished smoking, he found that a worker secretly picked up his cigarette butts and took two bites. He realized that the tobacco industry was definitely a big market.
So the Jing family began to use their funds to buy tobacco from the manor, and did not take the upper route at all. They specially planted the longest, coarsest and largest amount of low-quality tobacco, made cigarettes and sold them to workers at a low price.
Cheap cigarettes sell well at the bottom of xuanzhu. This decompression consumer goods is very popular with workers who have little material enjoyment (listening to books is just spiritual enjoyment).
Originally, the owners of the Jing family just wanted to make cigarettes and harvest the wages of their workers. Unexpectedly, the "guanjing" tobacco industry soon developed and expanded, almost occupying the cigarette market at the bottom of xuanzhu and obtaining a large amount of working capital.
However, it seems natural for the Jings to like mining. They invest their money in mining and iron making. Only when the working capital is not enough can they expand the scale of the tobacco industry. Unconsciously, both the tobacco and iron industries have become the leaders of the Big Mac level.
It's not that there is no chamber of Commerce to compete with the Jingjia family to seize the bottom tobacco market, but there are many iron mines and workers in the Jingjia coal mine. He stipulates that his workers are only allowed to buy their own "guanjing" cigarettes. Others want to bring cigarettes into the factory and kill them with sticks. Moreover, guanjing cigarettes are also the cheapest. If the cigarettes of other chambers of commerce are cheaper than "guanjing", the Jingjia family will stuff inferior grass leaves into the cigarettes, In short, it can maintain the lowest cost and price in Dongyang.
The workers scolded that guanjing cigarettes were becoming less and less fragrant, and then took out the money to let the children buy a package of guanjing cigarettes - other brands of cigarettes were fragrant, but guanjing was cheap enough!
I just want to take a bite when I'm free. There's no need to smoke that kind of good goods. Don't I save some money to buy some food for my children?
Cheap is the king!
Other chambers of commerce can't play with the Jing family, and "guanjing" has become the preferred cigarette brand at the bottom of xuanzhu. With the development of productivity, "guanjing" also rose, and its total sales gradually surpassed other high-end cigarette brands, and even became the richest industrial chain of Jingjia.
Of course, guanjing can have its current scale because it is escorted by the iron and steel industry. Because of mining, there is an armed team responsible for suppressing workers. Because of the armed team, the Jing family has strong force - whoever dares to covet the Jing family's money cows, the Jing family will let them enjoy the treatment of disobedient workers.
In the words of music, this is called the combination of soft and hard. The tobacco industry is an external skill, strong in the early stage, mining is an internal skill, and stable in the later stage. In the 88 chamber of Commerce, the Jing family is not the best or the richest, but it is definitely the first sequence with the strongest comprehensive ability!
As the milkman in charge of the Jing family's money cow, Jing Suke is naturally deeply trusted by Jing Qinghe. In one sentence, they can sum up their fetters: Jing Suke helped bring about the bad brothers in those years.
After Jing Qingchen became the master of the family, some of the brothers died on board the ship and were swallowed by the waves. Some died in the fragrant snow sea. It was suspected that they were too exciting and exploded. In short, the death method was strange, but their death was always inseparable from the good man who had been providing funds for their enjoyment - Jing Suke.
Jing Suke has been in charge of the "guanjing" tobacco industry for many years. It can be described as a model of kings and officials who "treat me as a scholar and I repay you as a scholar".
But long-term friendship can't resist the passage of time. Feelings are like mature, full and falling flowers and fruits. They are very real, but they will rot. When Jing Qinghe was ill for a long time, Jing Suke also began to think about his next home.
As the head of the family, he didn't even think about it. The inheritance of the Jing family is a tradition that continues for a hundred years, and this tradition is indeed effective - as evidenced by the standing of the Jing family.
Tradition is not necessarily useful, but what is useful must become tradition.
Jing Suke thought about it and chose to take refuge in Jing Zhengtang. Unlike others who think Jing Zhengtang is a weak man, as a wife fearing person who keeps a concubine secretly, he has a unique puzzle about it - a really weak man is weak externally and tough internally. For example, a wife beater must be hard; People who are afraid of their wives, who are weak at home, will be more stubborn outside!
Of course, the ability of Jing Zhengtang and his wife to make money is an important factor for Jing Suke to bet. Instead of choosing Jing Zhengwu, the "weakened version of Jing Qinghe", it's better to choose a home owner who can make a lot of money with everyone!
However, Jing Zhengwu committed suicide. After Jing Qingxuan died of illness, Jing Zhengtang found their supporters and said that he would fully support the new owner Jing Zhengwei. He came to represent the Imperial Army... No, on behalf of the owner to persuade them to obey.
While Jing Suke was anxiously waiting for the trial of the new owner, he found that the new owner was actually a gentle and easy-going good man. He not only maintained the status quo of the Jing family, but also was willing to exchange the brothers' commitments to his subordinates, so that everyone could make a wish to him!
Jing Suke is not a fool. He is sure that those people who are open to the lion will be targeted, so he only wrote a small wish: he hopes to win a death free gold medal.
If he makes any mistakes in the future, he can use this death free gold medal to avoid the punishment of the owner.
This wish is not whether the new owner will be satisfied, but to show Jing Suke's attitude: I'm really good. If I make a mistake, I'll be beaten. I hope the owner won't beat me too hard.
Jing Suke coaxed his wife in this way, so he stole food outside for so many years. No matter how angry his wife was, she just took him home and beat him dry, so as not to embarrass him in front of outsiders.
The Jingjia cigarette factory burned down when the city was attacked. However, the guanjing cigarette industry started early, and there were two or three factories in the outer city. The burning in the city had little impact, but made the sales of guanjing cigarettes better. After all, other cigarette factories burned down.
Hiss——
Sitting in the director's office of No. 1 tobacco factory, Jing Suke lit a green paper cigarette, smoked happily and read the newspaper. Green paper tobacco is the highest specification cigarette of Jingjia tobacco factory. It is a non-commercial product used for gifts. Tobacco leaves are excellent varieties transported from specific farms with endless aftertaste and mellow satisfaction.
There are also two kinds of white paper cigarettes and orange paper cigarettes. White paper cigarettes use black tobacco, which is cheap and easy to grow. It tastes very choking, but most hard-working men like it very much, that is, it does great harm to their body; Orange paper smoke adds some special spices on the basis of white paper smoke. It is not only less choking, but also has a sweet smell. It is specially launched and sold to children.
Orange paper cigarette can be said to be the proudest achievement of Jing Suke. The Jing family has only sold cigarettes to adult men for so many years. He has sold cigarettes to children!
If he can study cigarettes sold to women in his lifetime, he will also have a place in the Jing family tree.
But the problem was that his son actually liked to smoke orange paper cigarettes. Fortunately, he beat his son in time, and then ordered the tobacco factory to make a batch of good orange paper cigarettes that would not hurt his body and let his son smoke well.
When he got the new issue of Youth Daily, Jing Suke naturally looked at the cover for the first time.
Although he is not a youth, he seems to be able to return to the age when everything recovers when reading the cover of the Youth Daily.
The cover of this issue is very strange. There is only a desk scene, and there is no one in it.
What about the good astringent picture!?
But Jing Suke looked carefully and found some clues.
There are drops of white marks in the center of the notebook spread out on the desk, as if something had dropped on the notebook;
The left page of the notebook was rubbed with a trace, as if a white thigh had been pressed on it;
The window in front of the desk is a foggy glass window. A pair of beautiful fingerprints are clearly printed on it, which makes people wonder how beautiful the owner of the fingerprints is.
Watching, Jing Suke returned to his youth.
The so-called youth is enough to rely on fantasy.
Astringent pictures can be very astringent even if they don't draw people.
Worthy of being the new owner's newspaper, Jing Suke was taught.
Leisurely smoking and reading newspapers, time flies, and soon it's time to get off work. Because of the cover of the Youth Daily, Jing Suke is ready to move today and plans to go to the concubine No. 7 to reproduce the scene of the cover.
However, when Jing Suke walked out of the first tobacco factory, he found a familiar car parked outside.
The driver smiled and waved to him, "Uncle Suke, come up and sit down?"
"No, no!" Jing Suke hurriedly walked over: "Why are you driving? You really hurt me. Let go of the steering wheel and let me come. I'm an old driver."
"OK, sit in the back. I have something to find you." Yue Yu said with a smile.
Jing Suke obediently opened the back door, and someone was already sitting in the back - it was Yin Minghong.
Jing Suke is very wary of Yin Minghong because he is the confidant of the little Lord and is said to be a confidant brought from Hongyue fortress to xuanzhu county. Yin Minghong came to inspect the tobacco factory a few days ago. Jing Suke thought Shao would give him the tobacco factory. The result was a false alarm.
He is in charge of mining. He doesn't know how to make cigarettes!
I am so loyal to the young Lord, the young Lord will continue to use me!
But why is it that the little master drives and Yin Minghong sits in the back?
Jing Suke sat in with a little doubt and said politely, "what do you want, little Lord? I have nothing to say. I promise to finish it!"
Le Yu started the car and said with a smile, "if everyone wants to share your family's worries like this, it's good."
Jing Suke has been fighting for decades. Naturally, he understands that the young Lord is testing himself, and immediately kneels and licks: "after all, the old master died soon, and everyone misses the old master, so they may not work very hard. Suke asks himself how thin he is in the family. Who is disrespectful to the young Lord? I'll go over and scold him right away!"
"Thank you, uncle Suke." Yue Yu sighed, "it's just that this can't be solved. After all, everyone has their own small family and their own small abacus. No matter what they do, it's difficult for them to pay for the Jing family."
"Well..." Jing Suke made a cautious and honest appearance: "as the saying goes, no small family can make everyone. As long as the little Lord can benefit the people's small family, the people will naturally pay for everyone. The old master has done very well in this regard. Sometimes taking care of the small family is not a bad thing, but can let the people fight for the family business."
"Sure enough, there is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, I remember Uncle Suke's words." Yue Yu turned the corner with the steering wheel: "but I can't compare with the former master after all. I can't learn that kind of power skill that is so wonderful."
"It's still a long time. Young Lord, you're so smart that you're sure to learn."
Jing Suke felt uneasy in his heart, but he still didn't understand where the danger came from.
"But I don't have patience. I have an urgent wish to achieve. I need to master Jingjia as soon as possible." Yue Yu said, "so I need to use some simple and direct methods."
"What method."
"For example, change people."
Jing zuke felt his scalp numb, and Yin Minghong's hand unconsciously held his neck. Yin Minghong only needs a slight twist, and he is going to carry out hell business with Jing Qinghe!
"Why me?" Jing Suke stammered, "I'm absolutely loyal to you, young Lord! Even if you change people, you should change those spikes -"
"Just because it's a thorn head, if I change them, it's easy to make other people die and feel sad. I think I want to eradicate the disobedient old people." Yue Yu said, "but you're different - if you die, if I plant you, others will believe it. Because others think I'll reuse you. If I don't do so, it can only show that you have a problem."
"How could --"
"People, they only believe what they are willing to believe. If I even start with a good old man like you, doesn't it mean that I want to clean up the whole Jing family? Do you think they are willing to believe this desperate guess or the reasonable comfort I give them?"
Jing Suke trembled. "You... You want to clean the Jing family? But our people are dead. Who can you use -"
"Isn't that the man next to you?"
Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong, but this time his eyes were no longer flattering and timid, only endless anger: "he is a Dalit! A servant! A servant! Jing Zhengwei, you are betraying the Jing family and digging your own grave!"
Yue Yu: "they are all people. They all use the same. Moreover, if I promote them, they will be more loyal to me than you --"
"Others won't agree!" Jing Suke roared, "our family has spent hundreds of years accumulating and fighting for the status. Now you want to give our status to those Dalits? The Jing family will oppose you, and the silver blood will support you!"
"It's too late for you to stop now! Do you think the people you promoted will be loyal to you? Don't dream! They are a group of locusts who don't even understand the rules! They are insatiable, they are despicable, and we will fight for the family anyway. They will only try their best to collude to seize your property! If we don't take care of it, you think those workers will work for the Jing family?"
Yue Yu didn't answer, but asked, "what do you think of the second leader?"
Yin Minghong was slightly stunned. He realized that he was calling himself. He respectfully said, "young Lord, I think what Jing Suke said is right. There are indeed many people at the bottom who are insatiable, despicable and shameless."
Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong in surprise and immediately smiled - you're on the road.
"But that's because they have no choice but to make a living. They can't even fill their stomachs. How can they think about loyalty, ideals, principles and rules?" Yin Minghong said: "if they change places, I believe Jing Suke will be more greedy and shameless - in fact, he has embezzled a lot of family assets over the years! He is an old hand compared with the Dalits he said!"
"You..."
"Moreover, even in order to survive, there are many civilians at the bottom who exude the glory of human nature. They are optimistic and positive, keep their promises and trust, and are eager to learn and seek knowledge! It is only because they have no platform to show their talents that they have always been at the bottom!"
"Thanks to the little Lord's entrustment, I Yin Minghong will definitely find a loyal mainstay for the Jing family and ensure that after cleaning up these stubborn remnant parties, the Jing family will also prosper and change with each passing day!"
"Well said." Yue Yu smiled, "Uncle Suke, do you have anything else to say?"
Jing Suke found that the car had unknowingly come to the unmanned warehouse, and was devastated. "I have nothing to say. I didn't do anything wrong. Why..."
"No, you made a mistake."
Yue Yu stopped the car, "your first mistake is that I thought I would let you live to make the second mistake."
When Jing Suke's neck was broken, he suddenly remembered Jing Qingxiang's evaluation of Jing Zhengwei when he met him a few days ago.
Cousin, Jing Zhengwei is indeed an owl, but he is not an owl of the Jing family, but... His own owl!
