All Hail Cousin Brother

Mr. Lin lowered his voice: "The Lord of Shaoyi County has pointed out the way for us. When we return to Zhejiang, with Master Ye as our backer, it will not be a pity to give up the business in Quanzhou."

He was the governor of the entire southeastern coastal area. With such a big connection, what kind of business couldn't be done?

Mrs. Yan was convinced: "I heard that Mr. Ye has a good relationship with King Wu Muding in the north..."

Mr. Lin's heart skipped a beat and he thought: "Cousin Zhou of Shaoyi County Lord is also an aide to King Wu Muding North, and is highly valued by King Wu Muding North."

The two looked at each other and saw the heat in each other's eyes.

It stands to reason that the Lin family's medicinal materials business can be ranked among the best in the country. It has close ties with the imperial court and has a huge network of contacts.

But who could have known that the Lin family would never have a good life in the whirlpool of business and political struggles?

High and low, in the palace and in the government, which one can he afford to offend?

You don’t have to be considerate and greet everyone with a smile!

However, the situation in the government is always in turmoil, and the top is fighting to the death. The one who suffers the most is the bottom. How to make the next move depends on whether his connections are strong enough!

To sum it up in one word, people in the world cannot help themselves!

Ye Hanyuan and King Wu Mu are both important figures with military power.

Yu Youyao got on the carriage.

Xie Jingliu conjured up a package of Qingjin fruits somewhere, opened the oil paper package outside, and poured it into the plate: "Businessmen will climb along the pole, first send themselves to the Lin family for support, and then hang up Ye Hanyuan, a piece of meat. In front of the Lin family, the person standing behind Ye Hanyuan was King Wu Mu. You lured the Lin family step by step onto King Wu Mu's pirate ship. The Lin family was like this, and the Yan family must be the same. It took no effort to find King Wu Mu. Two, strong backing.”

Yu Youyao twisted a piece of Qingjin fruit pulp and ate it with relish: "Businessmen value profits over righteousness. I want them to know who is behind me, so that they will cooperate with me unswervingly. I made money, and King Wu Mu got a huge fortune." With the supply of medicinal materials, the Lin Yan family not only benefited, but also gained strong backing. This is a good situation of killing three birds with one stone, a win-win cooperation, and is in line with the basic principles of businessmen."

Xie Jingliu chuckled: "Obviously she is an official lady, but she looks more and more like a shrewd businessman."

Not only shrewdness, but also structure and vision.

Yu Youyao murmured: "Who stipulates that official ladies cannot do business?"

Xie Jingliu thought about it. Although the dogmatic model has many restrictions on women, there is indeed no explicit rule that women cannot do business: "It's good for you to do this."

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

Zhejiang is close to the sea, and the sea route is very convenient. Shuchuan is connected with Shaanxi and is close to the northern border. King Wu Mu has already taken advantage of it.

After returning to the mansion, Yu Youyao asked Zhou Yonghe to enter the mansion and handed him over to handle all the matters related to the Yan family in Shuchuan.

In the following days, word spread about Shaoyi County Lord's benevolent act of purchasing medicine for disaster relief. The Lin family also reduced the supply of medicinal materials with other merchants and made every effort to raise medicinal materials.

The whole of Quanzhou is paying attention to this matter. Xie Mansion is fishing in troubled waters, quietly transferring family property and buying property, and is busy non-stop.

When the news reached Beijing, the results of the palace examination were also released.

Sure enough, Song Mingzhao was selected as the number one scholar in modern science and became famous.

This should have been a happy day, but the entire Zhenguo Hou Mansion was shrouded in a terrible gloom.

The atmosphere at Rongfu Curie was even more tense.

Song Xiuqi, the Marquis of Zhenguo, looked at Song Mingzhao in disbelief, his wide eyes filled with anger: "Nie Zi, what did you just say? Say it to me again!"

Mrs. Song made a "clunking" sound and placed the tea cup heavily on the tea table: "If you have anything to say, just say it properly and don't leave me yelling in the room."

However, the Marquis of Zhenguo was still angry and pointed at Song Mingzhao, trembling all over: "Mother, didn't you hear what he just said? He said that he would not enter the Hanlin Academy and had already submitted a letter to the imperial court for his release."

Mrs. Song looked at Song Mingzhao in silence.

Song Mingzhao lowered his head, straightened his back, and knelt on the ground silently. The young man who used to obey his family suddenly showed his rebellious side.

The Marquis of Zhenguo was furious and kept scolding Song Mingzhao: "If you don't have Han Lin, you won't join the cabinet. If you don't join the cabinet, you can't worship the prime minister. Mother, he is ruining his own future."

When Mrs. Song saw that his finger was about to hit Song Mingzhao's forehead, she frowned and said, "Okay, you should calm down."

The Marquis of Zhenguo's eyes turned red with anger and he raised his voice: "Calm down, how do you want me to calm down? The Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion has trained him for eighteen years. Now that his wings are hardened, he has begun to learn the disobedient and unfilial behavior. What future can there be? How many people have asked to join the cabinet, but they have no chance, but what about him?!"

Mrs. Song said angrily: "Shut up."

Marquis Zhenguo's breath suffocated, and he clenched his hands into fists, barely able to control his anger.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, Mrs. Song looked at Song Mingzhao: "Get up and talk. How can a family kneel on the ground at every turn?"

Song Mingzhao knelt on the ground and did not move.

Mrs. Song sighed and didn't force it anymore: "Why don't you stay in the Hanlin Academy and want to be sent abroad? What do you think?"

Song Mingzhao lowered his head and said hoarsely: "Grandma also heard the news. Miss Yu went to Quanzhou to recuperate. A concubine of Mr. Jia of the state capital actually ignored Miss Yu's identity and family background and publicly teased Mrs. Yu in the street with dirty words. Miss, Miss Yu’s post has been sent to the Queen Mother. When Master Yu learned about it, he became even more furious and wanted to join forces with the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Master Jia for more than ten crimes including committing a crime."

Mrs. Song suddenly had an unexpected feeling.

Song Mingzhao was extremely indifferent and alienated from others. He only wanted to get close to Yu Youyao, and only Yu Youyao could affect his mind and make him irrational.

Miss Yu's book was sent to Beijing a few days ago.

Along with her book, there was news that Miss Yu and the Lin family purchased a batch of medicinal materials and prepared to transport them to the north to support the court's disaster relief.

This move touched the hearts of everyone in the government and the public.

The Marquis of Zhenguo asked angrily: "What does this have to do with your self-invitation?"

Song Mingzhao said: "As soon as the news from Quanzhou came to Beijing, I looked for Mr. Yu and borrowed the files from the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate on Mr. Jia."

Marquis Zhenguo couldn't help but ask: "What's the problem with his file?"

Song Mingzhao shook his head: "Mr. Jia is a second-ranked Jinshi. His ranking in the palace examination is not high. Because he is a scholar from a poor family and has no connections or money to manage, he was sent to a small and unknown county in Fujian. He stayed in Quanzhou to work When he became a government official, there was no particularly outstanding talent in his records. Most of the evaluations were based on diligence. He has been an official for more than 20 years, and if he can survive to the state government through hard work, there is no problem."
