I run all the businesses that make a lot of money, such as salt and iron making, trade smuggling, land trading and so on. Try to monopolize the market and squeeze the surrounding small countries, leaving them helpless. Sangguquan usually gives away all the gold, silver and jewels.
Because the tax I paid was close to the sky-high price, the national strength was strong for a time, and the whole world bowed to me.
In recognition of me, the imperial court gave me an official position and rewarded the city. Therefore, my family power has multiplied.
But those are trivial things many years ago, not worth mentioning!
At the beginning, I also said that my most noteworthy advantage is not making money, but being charitable and caring for civilians.
I didn't have a second wife after the first lady died.
Now that I have raised my three sons to the crown by myself, it's time to quit the Jianghu and let them show their strength and carry forward their family style.
The first task for them is to make sure that there are no poor people within a hundred miles of Fiona Fang.
After all, I am too kind to see the poor living in huts and corners, hungry and cold.
"Eldest brother! Big brother! " The third young master panted and ran to the cockfighting young master. "Dad said that you can't see the poor people in Fiona Fang for a hundred miles in the city, or you will deduct our money for three years!"
The gentleman finished the fight unhurriedly, then sat on the stone bench and said to the fidgety third young master, "Madam, just call you stupid. We are his own sons. Can he really refuse to let us go out and lose his face? "
At this time, the second young master also leaned in with a goose feather fan: "Big Brother knows the doorways best. I hope you can teach me. "
"I ask you, where do poor people usually live?" The gentleman asked.
"In Dachai District and Alley." Xiao San answers first.
"The alley is a literati table. Third brother, you can't even tell this. " The second young master replied, "There is also a shed area and a porcelain vase area."
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't know."
"The second brother doesn't remember either."
The gentleman said, "I knew you two were useless." I have long thought about my idea. If I can finish my father's task, we will be relaxed. "
San Xiao quickly asked, "Really, big brother is really amazing!"
The gentleman said, "Of course. You listen to me, let's tear down the big firewood area, shack area and that area ... "
"Then where do they live? We don't have that many houses for them to live in. " Xiaosan chimed in.
"Where to go back and forth, big brother, this is wonderful!" The second young master said.
San Xiao wants to know, "I don't understand."
The gentleman said impatiently, "Little Three, can't you read more books and learn the rules of dynasties?" They have no place to live and returned to their ancestral home. Didn't dad finish the task? "
"But in the cold winter ... let's give them some money." San Xiao hesitated.
"Three elder brother don't worry too much. In the end, there will be a way, and the boat will cross the bridge. " The second young master patted the third young master on the shoulder.
"Small three, sell all your antique baby, the money is enough for them to use for a while. Otherwise, kill your exotic animals and give them fur to keep out the cold. " The gentleman gave a malicious smile.
Xiao San's lips moved, but they didn't open in the end.
My wife died young, but she left me three such excellent sons. It's a gift from heaven.
I thought it would be good to finish the task in three years, but I didn't expect it to be effective in just a few months.
In today's city, everything is clean and tidy, and there are no poor people begging on street corners and selling stinky tofu on the road with wheelbarrows.
I looked at the troupe that came to sing at home and asked my eldest son, "What are they singing tonight? They only think about the Lebanese people, but they have never heard a few plays. "
The gentleman said, "They came to sing opera to thank our family for everything. If you want to listen, I'll let them sing it again. "
The gentleman got up and went backstage to see the troupe.
I watched the boss go, and then looked at the second and third children around me, feeling extremely happy.
I want to come to those poor people who used to be, and now they enjoy family happiness like me.
I smiled with satisfaction.
