Chapter 682: Fairy Card Drawing Machine (12)
Let’s talk about after the separation.
The changes in Ding Yun’s descendants.
I have a lot of private houses in my hands, so I am not very worried about the children and grandchildren in the future, as well as their eldest son. Most of them have no idea of crisis, and they are not in a hurry to do anything. If they insist on making changes, they are at best for their own young children.
I am a little more concerned about education issues.
Start urging your children to study harder.
He turned around so that he could show his face in front of Ding Yun.
There are almost zero changes in other aspects. It is still time to relax and watch movies. Anyway, no one thinks about working hard and making progress. They all put pressure on the juniors because they feel that they are so old.
, why are you still trying to make progress?
Of course the children have to work hard!
Compared with those who have family wealth and confidence, those who are not favored as commoners, do not have much private money, and even have several children to get married, it is really difficult to calm down after the separation of the family.
Basically everyone had to save money on food and clothing.
And try to find sources of income.
It is also commonly known as open source.
But for ordinary work, let alone the fact that they can't pull it off their face, even if they can pull it off, the three melons, two dates and scattered silver they earn are not enough for them to spend.
As for high income, in addition to doing business, you have to be an official.
As officials, they were incompetent in literature and military affairs. They didn't even have the reputation of being a scholar. They were useless. So in the end, they had to think about business as their only option.
Some are thinking of buying some land and collecting rent.
Some are thinking of buying a shop, or simply using their wife's shop to try to do business.
Others urge their children to make progress or make progress themselves.
Or give money to invest in others.
For example, if a certain trading company wants to transport a batch of things to the North for sale, the profit from a round trip will definitely be tens of thousands of taels, but the risk is also high. The family dare not bear it alone, so everyone needs to jointly contribute.
Or maybe a certain trading company wants to go to sea. The profits are also very high, which can reach hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The risks are also greater. If something happens, not only will they lose all their money, but they will also have to bear the funeral expenses of the crew members who died.
.
Ding Yun's great-great-grandchildren did not dare to do anything illegal, so they could only choose among these paths. The only one who did not take the business path.
There are only three guys who became the Imperial Guard.
…
Now it's been almost a year since we separated.
Some are playing it safe, with basically no losses, but they haven’t made much money, so they can only survive on daily food, drinks and chews. Some are defrauded in risky investments and lost all their money, so they can only survive by eating the little dowry from their wife.
of.
There are also those who have been losing money in business and are reluctant to cut off their profits.
As for the only two families that really make money, one is his daughter-in-law, who was originally a businesswoman. With the help of her mother-in-law, she got on the right track and was able to make some money.
Another family had good luck in investing and was not deceived. Then the ship returned smoothly. The original investment of two thousand taels of silver tripled and the amount of money recovered was six thousand taels.
Generally speaking, at least the Qin family is no longer a backwater. They know that it is difficult to make money, that it is difficult to live without money and power, and that they are nothing after leaving the princess mansion. Many people have finally corrected their attitude.
Start accepting reality and make changes.
As for the three children recommended by Ding Yunshang in the memorial, two were too mediocre, so Emperor Longsheng sent them all away after giving each of them a second-rank Yunqi Lieutenant.
This military honor is basically equivalent to a seventh-grade official, and he is also a person receiving a salary from the court, so he is considered to be receiving official pay.
There is no risk yet.
After all, what's the risk if you don't have to work?
The only one who barely passed the examination was Qin Yuan, who was promoted to the position of bodyguard. Although this position was nominally to protect the emperor, it was actually rarely used from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, so the selection standards were relatively comparable.
There have been some changes in the past.
The original selection criterion was burly and brave, but now the selection criterion is heroic and strong. The main difference is that the former depends on actual combat, while the latter puts more emphasis on appearance and body type.
All in all, it depends on the face and body.
He had to be good-looking, have a standard figure, and have a standard height and so on. When the emperor himself was not in any danger, of course he had to do a good job in the face-saving project.
Escorting personal guards is one of the face projects.
Qin Yuan was selected because his appearance, figure and height met the standards. As for the other two who were not selected, one was a little bit unsightly and looked older.
Another one is a bit taller.
He is a head taller than the emperor.
Is that suitable? Obviously not!
The height standard for escorts is to be slightly shorter than the emperor, and everyone must be about the same height, so that they look uniform.
However, this position is promising, at least it can be considered as someone close to the emperor, but it can be said that it can achieve some merit.
Then you have to hope that someone will assassinate the emperor.
In short, the room for promotion is quite limited!
Ding Yun understood the situation a little bit and didn't expect anything. It seemed that the hope of their family still fell on the remaining underage children. Now these are basically useless. If they can keep the family business and pass it on,
That's right, you can't expect to achieve anything or achieve anything.
However, Ding Yun was too lazy to be harsh on them, so he didn't criticize anyone during the Chinese New Year. He even specially took 10,000 taels of silver from this year's income to give them red envelopes. Because of the large population, even though Ding Yun didn't give any to the older ones,
The children and grandchildren of the family received red envelopes, and the remaining children each received a hundred taels.
After distributing the red envelopes, we had another meal.
Ding Yun sent them all away.
After the New Year, the weavers and embroiderers hired by Ding Yun finally basically learned the new techniques taught to them by Ding Yun, and the rest was nothing more than a proficiency process.
At this point, Ding Yun began to take the next step.
Build a textile factory and a textile academy. The textile factory only sells high-end new fabrics, which are special fabrics that have not yet appeared in this world. The textile academy is a place that specializes in teaching new fabric production techniques.
As for teachers, those weavers and embroiderers were ready-made teachers, saving Ding Yun the trouble himself.
It seems a bit thankless.
Create your own competitors.
But Ding Yun is not short of money. What she mainly wants is influence. In this world, she is too lazy to bother with rebellion at such an old age, so she can only start from other directions, for example, the direction of Huang Daopo.
The reason why we need to build textile factories to sell new fabrics.
That was mainly to build a reputation for her textile college, otherwise she would just open a textile college.
If the influence gained by doing this is not enough, then she can change directions at most in two years. After all, she can only draw a card once, and won't she have a free chance to draw a fairy card every year?
I can’t believe that I can’t draw useful fairy cards.
If it doesn't work, you can still earn money and draw cards.
Or directly localize other world technologies!
Anyway, she has no shortage of ways to gain influence.
