,!

Juren can actually be an official.

The famous Zuo Zongtang is a Juren, and he has also become a party member.

Of course it was in troubled times.

But today's era of Red Mansions is on the threshold of troubled times, at most thirty years will be troubled times.

The vitality of feudal society is very short. A long-lived person was born when the country was founded. When he died, he basically entered the late stage of the dynasty, and he could clearly see the rise and fall.

Jia Rong is a juren, in the eyes of the people in Jia's house, at least he can find a job as magistrate of Jiangnan county, but he ran to the southern island.

You must know that at this time, going to a marginal place to be an official is tantamount to exile in disguise.

Of course they didn't know that this was discussed by Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, and Jia Rong.

...

Jia Rong came to a certain island in the south, and Jia Lian and Xue Dafool ​​accompanied him to take office.

The population is more than 60,000, and everyone is poor. Many people only have one suit of clothes all year round. Fortunately, this is a tropical place, so there is no need for any clothes.

There are very few people who have land, and most of them work on short-term and long-term labor.

The rest of the land belonged to the lords and chieftains.

Jia Rong didn't come to the post alone. He brought 120 followers, 80 servants, and 40 guards. Anyway, he paid the salary.

"Look, within three years, this place will become our industrial base." Jia Rong is full of ambition.

Then the local environment taught him to be a man.

A week later, he caught a cold, vomiting and diarrhea, hot and cold.

In the room, Jia Rong was wrapped in a thick quilt, which was miserable.

"This is malaria, the local mosquitoes are too cruel." Jia Lian also wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, and he didn't let it go even in hot weather.

"Damn it, I miss my alien species. Although it is stupid, greedy and unable to speak, it is not as cute and fun as Xiao Huan, but at least it can save me from all diseases." Jia Rong said bitterly.

"You just endure it. If you are lucky, you will be able to survive in two or three weeks."

"Bad luck?"

"That's what was written in the county annals: In a certain month of a certain year, Jiazhi County, Jiarong, was ill for less than a month and died in office."

"I don't want to be so miserable."

"Now there are two pieces of news. One is the good news. I have asked Xue's family to quickly buy Cinchona Cream, and I have already bought it. The bad news is that you have to last for at least seven days. Now the journey is far away. Only the north has stock, and the south Instead, it didn't."

"I will endure."

Seven days later, Jia Rong, who was on the verge of death, finally got the special drug Cinchona Cream. After taking it, the malaria was relieved.

"You are very lucky. You must know that Cao Yin died of malaria. By the way, Cao Yin is Cao Xueqin's grandfather." Jia Lian laughed.

"Damn it, I want to exterminate mosquitoes!" Jia Rong didn't start an industry, but started a sanitation cleaning first.

He led the officials of all sizes in the yamen to pay 1,500 taels of silver out of their own pockets, and began a large-scale cleaning of the inside and outside of the yamen and the county.

Abandoned ditches, waterlogged places, dirty places, sewer ditches...all have been cleaned up.

This treatment is three months.

It has won unanimous praise from local village elders, teachings, classics, inspectors, official officials...etc.

Although this matter is troublesome, it does not harm their interests, and it is beneficial to everyone.

In other words, it is in line with the fundamental interests of the majority of people. Only a few people feel that their own interests have been harmed in the process, such as some government servants, clerks, assistants, etc. who have been here for generations...

Because the master did not distribute the 1,200 taels of silver through their hands, but directly distributed it to the short-term and long-term workers hired by the people around him.

But it's tolerable. The county magistrate will stay for three to five years at most before leaving.

Jia Rong and Jia Hun took the opportunity to find out important information such as geographical environment, power distribution, population size, etc. through three months of cleaning.

"There is information, where should we start?" Jia Rong asked.

At this time, in the room, the window screens were closed, and the wormwood was smoked, leaving a pungent smell.

"Pharmaceuticals." Jia Lian said confidently.

"Isn't it engaged in the silk industry?" Jia Rong asked doubtfully.

"No, the silk industry has no foundation here, and there are many links. Once there is a change, we can easily be strangled by the court." Jia Lian said.

"That's true," Jia Rong nodded, "but what is the pharmaceutical going to do? Transplant cinchona trees?"

"This is one aspect, but not the main one. Let's start with various tonics, starting with refreshing oil for scholars, refreshing potions, and tonics for the elderly. Do you remember the ginseng Yangrong pill that sister Lin took?" Jia Lian asked road.

"I know, Lin Xue Ercao is used to nourish Rongrong, so it is called Yangrong Pill. Both of them take the pill, which foretells the reality that the two families will be sucked by the Jia family." Jia Rong sighed.

"Yes, pharmaceuticals are already a big industry in this era, especially for noble families, who cannot do without various pills." Jia Lian nodded.

"Unfortunately, if we can find out the kind of reincarnation medicine that Xiao Huan said, we will be comfortable."

"That's not far from death. Only the royal family can preserve this thing."

The two of them settled their plans. With the protection of Jia Rong, the county magistrate, the money, the name and people, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are not many tyrannical conservative forces in the local area, there is only one restriction on what Jia Rong can't do: natural Law does not allow.

The first is to acquire a large number of barren mountains and wasteland that cannot grow food, and then hire landless farmers to grow various refreshing herbs that have been proven by later generations.

Plants such as cocoa that contain stimulants.

The bankrupt Chinese patent medicine merchants hired from Jiangnan finally began to use steam engines, build assembly lines, and mass-produce on a large scale.

In this way, conflicts will be reduced by more than half if they do not compete with local tyrants for land.

What is manufactured is medicine, and it does not compete with other local industries for the market, which reduces many conflicts.

Moreover, there are very few things where officials squeeze for benefits. After all, the magistrate here is the largest in name.

Even if some benefits are given, it is only in name.

Textiles can be worn every day, and tonics can also be taken every day, not to mention that these tonics are similar to tobacco.

The scale and profits of the tobacco industry are also extremely amazing in later generations, let alone this era?

The surplus labor force in the entire county has been fully utilized.

Jia Rong took the opportunity to let the servants publicize that it was Master Jia who gave them their jobs. To be a man, we must be grateful. Every day before entering the factory, we must sing: "Listen to me, thank you, thanks for having you, warming the four seasons..."

Of course, no one dares to say loyalty. Anyone who is openly loyal is only the emperor. He here dares to say loyalty to the county magistrate. Next year, an official will write to the capital, saying that someone in his hometown wants to rebel.

Fortunately, it is normal for the servants to be grateful, and the big family emphasizes this, because they are afraid that these servants will steal things while the master is not paying attention, and hurt the little master.

A lot of money flowed in quickly.

There will be inflation if there is only silver but no materials.

Therefore, the daily necessities such as food and cloth have to be shipped.

After three years, Jia Rong tried to find a way to stay in office.

As long as the evaluation is rewritten, the county magistrate can stay in office for up to ten years before being transferred.

...

At the same time, in Jia's mansion.

The crowd is celebrating.

Because Jia Baoyu became a Jinshi!

This is very efficient.

Within three or four years, it is rare in the entire history to even select scholars, raise people, and Jinshi.

"The old man can rest assured now. The elder brother is only twenty years old, and he is already a Jinshi. With such an honor, how many young people in the world can get it?" A group of Qing people surrounded Jia Zheng and praised him.

"Hahaha, my son is finally promising, and all my painstaking efforts over the years are not in vain." Jia Zheng said happily.

"That's right, it's all the old man who teaches well, which is really enviable. How many people are there in the whole world who are less than twenty years old?"

"The old man will enjoy the rest of his life in peace."

"It's easy to say, easy to talk." Jia Zheng felt relieved that he no longer had to worry about Jia Baoyu's failure to study.

At this time, Jia Zheng was still too naive, he had no idea that his son was too motivated, it would be a hundred times more terrifying than not being motivated.

One day in the future, looking back on the past, Jia Zheng will definitely regret it. If the time can come back again, he would rather raise Jia Baoyu and let him be a **** for the rest of his life...

At the same time, in Rongxi Hall.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Waiwai Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, etc. surrounded Jia Baoyu who was dressed as a Jinshi, and they were also very happy.

"My darling, you have finally let your father and your mother feel completely at ease. A middle-class wealthy family like ours only expects their children and grandchildren to take over. Now that you have become a Jinshi, even if I go to see the old man now, I can still do it." You have the face to talk to him." At the end of Jia's mother's speech, she shed tears.

"This is all the blessing of the ancestors," Wang Xifeng smiled and changed the subject, "The ancestors still want to bless Baoyu to go to the Tianzi Hall, how can I see the old Duke now?"

"That's right, old ancestor, you can't leave your grandson behind, you will live a long life." Jia Baoyu said leaning on Jia's mother.

"Isn't that right, ancestor, you will live a thousand years. This is the Wuji Yangshen Pill from the south. We have tried it. It really has the effect of enhancing qi, blood and spirit. Many old people in the south are taking this." Lai everyone said, and offered a pill.

"Okay, okay, you are all filial, I will take care of you for a few more years." Mother Jia smiled, looking at the whole house of children and grandchildren, especially the grandson Jia Baoyu who was exactly the same as her husband. I feel comfortable.

Then there is a feast and banquet, and the order of eating and drinking.

A table for the elders and a table for the girls, divided into two sides, happy at will.

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai here were also very shocked to be honest.

They also never expected that Jia Baoyu, who is known as a scoundrel, would pass the Jinshi examination within three or four years.

It was a surprise to the two of them to be selected as a scholar before, but now that they have been selected as a Jinshi, it is more like a dream.

"Baoyu, didn't you always say that getting fame and fame is a worthless person? Now you have become a person in the middle of nowhere." Lin Daiyu joked.

"I still think that getting fame and fame is a job. I entered the official career just to find a solution." Jia Baoyu shook his head.

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, she understood what Jia Baoyu was going to say in her heart.

Xue Baochai was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Bao, what kind of solution do you want to find?"

"Sister Bao has a shop in her house, right? Does this shop have its ups and downs?" Jia Baoyu said.

"I know a thing or two." In fact, Xue Baochai knew that the biggest problem with her identity was her background as a businessman.

Compared with Lin Daiyu, this is her biggest weakness.

A scholar, farmer, businessman, Lin Daiyu's family background is the highest, her father is Tanhua, her weakness is that her parents are dead and she has no relatives.

Although Jia Mu prefers Lin Daiyu, but sister Daiyu is not in good health and is destined not to last long.

This is also a weakness.

"When this shop was first established, everyone worked together to develop customers, save raw materials, and make a profit, and then it flourished. When the business was on the right track, the shopkeeper began to have selfishness, and the servants also had selfishness. Everyone began to poach the corners of this shop. , no matter how prosperous this shop is, in one or two days, the shop will decline and die." Jia Baoyu sighed.

Xue Baochai is awe-inspiring, the other party is using the store as a metaphor for the dynasty.

As for Xue Baochai, because her elder brother Xue Fan was not working properly when he was young, she often read the shop's accounts.

Xue's big and small shops, as Jia Baoyu said, everyone has selfishness, and everyone is digging up this big tree.

Buy raw materials at high prices and sell finished products at low prices.

The shopkeeper himself is running a private shop outside, doing the business of Xue's family, and there are countless tricks.

Those old shopkeepers are all masters at cheating people.

He eats inside and out, works his hands up and down, and is proficient in everything.

Xue Baochai only hated that she was not a man, so she couldn't come forward to reprimand these people in person.

Brother and mother are good people, and they always let these people occupy the place.

But she saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She could only mention one or two points, but she couldn't take any action.

"I don't know Brother Bao, but is there a solution?" Xue Baochai asked sincerely.

"If it's Sister Bao's shop, there are other ways." Jia Baoyu laughed.

"Brother Bao, come quickly." Xue Baochai couldn't help but lean closer to listen.

"Sigh, Sister Bao is so eager, she looks like a stray geese flying in the sky." Lin Daiyu said sourly as she ate it.

"Well, you bastard, my family's business is going downhill, and my mother is worried every day, but I can't find a way to do it. As a child, filial piety is the first, and I can't help it." Xue Baochai sighed.

Lin Daiyu immediately showed guilt: "So, it's my sister's fault."

"Okay, let me just say, in short, it's just eight words, running water doesn't rot, just ask it behind the curtain." Jia Baoyu looked at Xue Baochai's plump skin and said.

Zhao Han really sighed at this time, there are such good-looking and good-smelling people in the world.

Lengxiang Lengxiang ~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if she is a daughter, she still wants to marry her.

"Running water doesn't rot, why don't you ask me from behind the curtain? That's the way it is." Xue Baochai is extremely intelligent, and he understands it as soon as he hears it.

This is to let her become the hostess first, and then follow the example of the ancient queen mother in governing.

Those shopkeepers and servants must be replaced from time to time, and one person cannot be allowed to occupy the place for a long time.

In this way, they have no time to manage power.

"However, what should we do if we change repeatedly, people's hearts are unstable, and we only think about temporary benefits?"

"So we need to establish KPI, no, it is a performance system, to give shopkeepers a hope of promotion, plus various share incentives, of course, this is not absolute, in short, we must always pay attention to it." Jia Baoyu thought of those who were ruined in later generations For a large enterprise, the management measures are not perfect, and finally declined.

There is nothing in this world that does not decay.

This may be the reason why the Dream of Red Mansions lasts for a long time.

No matter how good the system is, no matter how good the people are, they cannot last forever.
