Jing Suke has been very happy recently.

As the person in charge of the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry, Jing Suke doesn't need to work as hard as other clansmen to make money.

Not only does he have a courtyard in the inner city, but he also has an eight-bedroom outer room in the outer city. After all, his wife is the daughter of the Zhou family, and she has always been tough, so he has to secretly buy a concubine.

Tobacco and iron have always been the two major industries of the Jing family, but the rise of the tobacco industry is quite legendary: before the Jing family was only a coal mine owner who relied on mining iron to mine coal. At that time, cigarettes were only affordable for the middle and upper class people. Special offerings.

One day the head of the Jing family finished smoking and found that a worker had secretly picked up his cigarette **** and took two puffs. He realized that the tobacco industry is definitely a big market.

So the Jing family began to use the funds to buy tobacco planted in the manor, and they did not take the upper-level route at all. They specially planted the worst quality tobacco that can grow the roughest and the largest amount, and made cigarettes and sold them to workers at low prices.

Cheap cigarettes are selling well at the bottom of Xuanzhu, and this kind of decompression consumer goods is very popular among workers who are quiet and have little material enjoyment.

Originally, the head of the Jing family just wanted to make cigarettes to reap the wages of his own workers. Unexpectedly, the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry has grown rapidly, almost occupied the cigarette market at the bottom of Xuanzhu, and obtained a lot of liquidity.

However, it seems that the Jing family likes mining by nature. They invest their money to buy mines and make iron, and wait until the liquidity is not enough to expand the scale of the tobacco industry.

It is not that there is no chamber of commerce and the Jing family to compete for the bottom tobacco industry market, but the Jingjia coal mine has a lot of iron ore and many workers. He stipulates that his own workers are only allowed to buy their own 'Guanjing' cigarettes, and others who want to bring cigarettes into the factory to sell directly beat them to death. , and 'Guanjing' cigarettes are also the cheapest - if other chambers of commerce's cigarettes are cheaper than 'Guanjing', the Jing family will stuff inferior grass leaves into the cigarettes, or even really stuff the dog's tail grass, in short, it can maintain the cost And the price is the lowest in Dongyang.

The workers scolded that the 'Guanjing' cigarettes became less and less fragrant, and then took out the money to let their children buy a pack of 'Guanjing' - other brands of cigarettes are fragrant, but 'Guanjing' is cheap enough!

I just don't have anything to want to have a couple of bites. There's no need to smoke that kind of good stuff. Wouldn't it be delicious to leave some money for my children to buy something to eat?

Cheap is king!

When other chambers of commerce couldn't compete with the Jing family, 'Guanjing' became the preferred cigarette brand at the bottom of Xuanzhu. With the development of productivity, "Guanjing" has also risen, and its total sales have gradually surpassed other high-end cigarette brands, and even become the richest industrial chain of the Jing family.

Of course, the current scale of 'Guanjing' is also due to the **** of the steel industry. Because of the need to mine, there is an armed team responsible for suppressing the workers, and because of the armed team, the Jing family is very powerful - whoever dares to covet the money and cows of the Jing family, the Jing family will let them enjoy the treatment of disobedient workers.

In the words of Leyu, this is called the combination of soft and hard. The tobacco industry is an external force, and the early stage is strong. The mining industry is an internal force, and the later stage is stable. In the Eighty-Eight Chamber of Commerce, the Jing family is not the most capable, nor 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 cows, Jing Suke is naturally deeply trusted by Jing Qingfu, and their fetters can be summed up in one sentence: the younger brothers of Jing Qingfu were brought up by Jing Suke's help. .

After Jing Qingfen became the head of the family, some of those younger brothers died on the boat and were engulfed by the waves, and some died in the Xiangxue Sea because it was too exciting, so they shot explosions. Anyway, the way of death was strange, but they Their death is always inseparable from the good old man who has been providing funds for their enjoyment - Jing Suke.

Jing Qingfen has been the head of the family for many years, and Jing Suke has been in charge of the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry for many years.

But long-term friendships can't stand the passage of time. Feelings are like mature and plump flowers and fruits that fall to the ground. They are very real, but they will rot. When Jing Qingquan could not afford to be sick for a long time, Jing Suke also began to think about his next family.

He never thought about the position of the head of the family. The inheritance of the Jing family's direct line is a practice that has lasted for a hundred years. This tradition is indeed effective - the Jing family's standing is a proof.

Tradition is not necessarily useful, but what is useful must become tradition.

Jing Suke thought about it, and chose to take refuge in Jingzhengtang. Unlike other people who think that Jing Zhengtang is a weak man, as a wife-shy person who keeps a concubine secretly, he has a different understanding of this - a real weak man is weak outside and tough inside, such as Wife beaters are definitely not going to be tough. Wife-scared people like them who are weak on the inside will be tougher on the outside!

Of course, the earning ability of Jing Zhengtang and his wife is an important factor that makes Jing Suke bet. Instead of choosing Jing Zhengwu, the owner of the 'weakened version of Jing Qingfen', it's better to choose a family owner who can bring everyone together to make a lot of money!

However, Jing Zhengwu committed suicide. After Jing Qingfen died of illness, Jing Zhengtang found their supporters and stated that he would fully support the new Patriarch Jing Zhengwei. He was here to represent the Imperial Army... No, on behalf of the Patriarch, he came to persuade them to be obedient.

Just as Jing Suke was anxiously awaiting the trial of the new head of the family, he found that the head of the new family was actually a good, elegant and easy-going man. He not only maintained the status quo of the Jing family, but was also willing to exchange the promises made by his brothers to his subordinates, so that everyone could make a wish to him!

Jing Suke is not a fool either. He is sure that those clansmen who open their mouths will definitely be targeted, so he only wrote a small wish: he hopes to get a gold medal for avoiding death.

If he makes any mistakes in the future, he can use this death-free gold medal to avoid punishment from the owner.

This wish is not about whether the new owner will be satisfied, but to show Jing Suke's attitude: I'm really good, and if I make a mistake, I'll be beaten. I hope the owner won't beat me too hard when he hits me.

Jing Suke used this method to coax his wife, so he had been stealing food for so many years, and when his wife got angry, she would just drag him home and beat him to dry it, so as not to bring him face in front of outsiders.

When the half-city area was attacked, the Jingjia Tobacco Factory naturally also burned down. However, the 'Guanjing' tobacco industry started early, and there are two or three factories in the outer city. Good - after all, other tobacco factories burned down.

hiss—

Sitting in the office of the director of the No. 1 Tobacco Factory, Jing Suke lit a green paper cigarette, smoking and reading the newspaper happily. Green paper cigarettes are the highest specification cigarettes of Jingjia Tobacco Factory. They are not for sale as gifts. Tobacco leaves are all excellent varieties shipped from specific farms.

There are also two kinds of white paper cigarettes and orange paper cigarettes. White paper cigarettes use black tobacco leaves, which are cheap and easy to grow, and the taste is very pungent, but most men who work hard like them, but they are more harmful to the body; On the basis of the paper cigarettes, some special spices are added, which are not only not so choking, but also have a sweet taste when they are smoked. They are specially sold to children.

Orange paper cigarettes can be said to be Jing Suke's proudest achievement. The Jing family has only sold cigarettes to adult men for so many years, but he has sold cigarettes to children!

If he can study the cigarettes sold to women in his lifetime, then he will also have a place in the Jing family tree.

But the problem is that his son actually likes 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 are not harmful to the body, so that his son can smoke well.

When he got the new issue of "Youth Daily", Jing Suke looked at the cover immediately.

Although he is not a young man, when he looks at the cover of the Youth Daily, he seems to be able to return to the age when all things recovered.

The cover of this issue is very strange, there is only one desk scene, and there is no one in it.

Say good Shitu! ?

But Jing Suke took a closer look and found some clues.

The page on the left side of the notebook was rubbed with a trace, as if a fair thigh once pressed on it;

The window directly in front of the desk is a foggy glazed window, and a pair of beautiful handprints are clearly printed on it, making people imagine how beautiful the owner of the handprints is.

Looking at it, Jing Suke returned to his youth.

The so-called youth is enough to rely on fantasy.

Shitu, even if you don't draw people, you can still be very astringent.

As expected of the new owner's newspaper, Jing Suke has been taught.

Yuzai smoked and read the newspaper leisurely, time passed quickly, and it was time to get off work soon. Because of the cover of the Youth Daily, today's Jing Suke was eager to go to the seventh concubine's place to recreate the scene on the cover.

But when Jing Suke walked out of the No. 1 Tobacco Factory, he found a familiar car parked outside.

The driver smiled and beckoned to him: "Uncle Su Ke, come up and take a seat?"

"I can't, I can't!" Jing Suke hurriedly walked over: "Why are you driving, young master, you really broke me, let go of that steering wheel and let me come, I'm an old driver."

"Okay, let's sit in the back, I'm looking for you." Le Yu smiled.

Jing Suke obediently opened the rear door, and someone was already sitting in the back row - it was Yin Minghong.

Jing Suke was very wary of Yin Minghong, because this person was the confidant of the young master, and it was said that he was brought to Xuanzhu County from the Red Moon Fortress. A few days ago, Yin Minghong came to inspect the tobacco factory. Jing Suke thought that the young master would hand over the tobacco factory to him, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

He is in charge of mining, how does he know how to make cigarettes!

I am so loyal to the young master, the young master will definitely continue to use me!

But why is the young master driving and Yin Minghong sitting in the back row?

Jing Suke sat in with a hint of doubt, and said politely: "What is the command of the young master, I have nothing to say, I promise to complete it!"

Le Yu started the car and said with a smile, "If everyone is like Uncle Pixie and you share the family's worries, that's fine."

Jing Suke has been struggling for decades, and he naturally understands that the young master is testing himself, and immediately knelt down and licked: "After all, the old family owner passed away soon, everyone misses the old family owner, so they may not work very hard. Su Ke asked himself how much he still has in the family. Thin face, whoever is disrespectful to the young master, I will immediately go over and scold him to wake him up!"

"Thank you Uncle Su Ke." Le Yu sighed: "It's just that this matter can't be solved. After all, everyone has their own small family and their own small abacus. No matter what they do, it will be difficult for them to help the Jing family. Everyone pays for it.”

"Well..." Jing Suke made a cautious and honest look: "As the saying goes, no small family can become a big family. As long as the young master can benefit the small family of the clan, the clan will naturally pay for everyone, and the old family head is here. It has done a good job in terms of aspects, and sometimes caring for a small family is not a bad thing, but it can make the clansmen work hard for the family business."

"Sure enough, there is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, Uncle Suke's words, I will keep it in my heart." Le Yu turned the steering wheel: "But I, after all, can't compare to the previous owner, like that kind of exquisite power, I can't learn."

"It's still a long time, young master, you are so smart, you can definitely learn."

Jing Suke felt uneasy in his heart, but he still didn't understand where the danger came from.

"But I'm impatient. I have a desire that I desperately want to achieve. I need to master the Jing family as soon as possible." Le Yu said, "So, I need to use some simpler and more direct methods."

"what way."

"For example, a replacement."

Jing only Suke felt his scalp numb, and Yin Minghong's hand next to him unknowingly grabbed his neck. With just a slight twist from Yin Minghong, he is going to start the underworld business with Jing Qingquan!

"Why, why me?" Jing Suke stammered: "I'm absolutely loyal to you, young master! Even if you change people, you should replace those thorns—"

"Because it's a thorn, if I change them, it's easy to make other people feel sad, thinking that I want to get rid of the disobedient old man." Le Yu said: "But you are different - you are dead, I will plant the blame again. You, others will believe it. Because others think I will reuse you, if I don't, it can only mean that you have a problem."

"how is this possible--"

"Humans, they only believe the facts they want to believe. If I even start with a good old man like you, doesn't it mean that I want to cleanse the entire Jing family? Do you think they are willing to believe this desperate conjecture, or are they willing to believe me? Reasonable comfort for them?"

Jing Suke's whole body trembled when he heard this, "You... you want to clean the Jing family? But our clansmen are dead, what kind of people do you have-"

"Isn't that person next to you?"

Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong, but this time there was no flattery or cowardice in his eyes, only endless anger: "He is a pariah! A slave! A servant! Jing Zhengwei, you are betraying the Jing family, since Dig the grave!"

Le Yu: "They're all people, they all use the same thing, and if I promote them, they'll be more loyal to me than you—"

"Others won't agree!" Jing Suke roared: "Our family has spent hundreds of years accumulating the status, and now you want to give our status to those pariahs? The Jing family will oppose you, and will the Silver Blood Society support you? you!"

"It's too late for you to stop now! Do you think the servants you promote will be loyal to you? Don't dream! They are a group of locusts who don't even know the rules! They are greedy, they are despicable and shameless, we will fight for the family anyway, they I will only try my best to conspire to steal your property! If we are not in charge, do you think those workers will work for the Jing family?"

Le Yu did not answer, but instead asked, "Second Master, what do you think?"

Yin Minghong was slightly startled, only to realize that he was calling himself, and said respectfully: "Young Master, I think what Jing Suke said is right, there are indeed many people at the bottom who are greedy and despicable~lightnovelpub.net~ Jing Suke looked at Yin Minghong in surprise, and immediately smiled - you're on the road.

"However, that's because they are forced to make a living. They can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they think about loyalty and ideals, and follow the rules?" Yin Minghong changed his words: "If they were in another place, I believe Jing Suke would be more greedy. Even more despicable and shameless - in fact, he has embezzled many of the family's assets over the years! Compared with the pariahs he said, he is a veteran!"

"you……"

"And even in order to survive, there are many low-level civilians who exude the brilliance of human nature. They are optimistic and positive, keep promises and trust, and are eager to learn and seek knowledge! It is only because they have no platform to display, so they have always been the bottom, but as long as they get opportunities and education, they will definitely No worse than these maggots!"

"Thanks to the entrustment of the young master, I, Yin Minghong, will definitely find a loyal and good pillar for the Jing family, and guarantee that after cleaning up these stubborn remnants, the Jing family will also prosper and change with each passing day!"

"Well said." Le Yu smiled, "Uncle Su Ke, do you have anything else to say?"

Jing Suke found that the car had come to the unmanned warehouse without knowing it, and his heart was ashes, "I have nothing to say. I obviously did nothing wrong, why is this..."

"No, you made a mistake."

Le Yu stopped the car, "Your first mistake was thinking that I would let you live to make the second mistake."

When Jing Suke's neck was twisted, he suddenly remembered what Jing Qingfu said about Jing Zhengwei when he met with Jing Qingfu a few days ago.

Cousin, Jing Zhengwei is indeed a hero, but he is not the hero of the Jing family, but... his own hero!
