Chapter 29 Count in one fell swoop
Pan Youdu almost made the fragrant tea jump up. His eyes protruded and stared at Liang Pengfei, who was sitting aside. It was like seeing a thug carrying a blood-stained sharp knife into his arms and pretended to put on a robe and recite the Buddhist scriptures.
But soon he covered up his gaffe. Does the nephew want to donate his official body? Well... That's an idea. Uncle Shi's family has been in business for generations. In order to improve his status, he had to donate an official body. Uncle Shi has also donated an official body now. I don't know how many products you want to donate? Governor or county magistrate?
"What my nephew wants to donate is military duty." Liang Pengfei's voice was deliberately lowered, but his tone was quite firm: "In addition, my little nephew wants to donate a lot."
"Big donation?!" Pan Youdu's eyes couldn't help squinting. The donation system of the Qing Dynasty was divided into regular donation and large donation. The regular donation only gave a false title, and the maximum can be donated to three grades, while the big donation is different. A large donation means that you can get a real donation, but the maximum can only be donated to four grades. The clerical position is the magistrate, the local magistrate, the salt transport envoy Si Yuntong, Wu He is the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu and the deputy of the Xuanfu.
However, almost all the official bodies donated by merchants in Guangzhou are often donated, in order to have an official body, which is convenient to do business and deal with the government, and at the same time, it can also improve their status.
And there are almost no big donations. Even if there are, they are all donated to civil servants. After all, magistrates and magistrates are the strengths of the same place. After donating these official positions, they can still scrape the land. But the military position is different. The military position is to lead the army. Even if you deduct the military supplies, how much money can you get? From the four grades of Xuanfu envoy, there are at most a few thousand people, and the money found by a magistrate's small scraping land in a year is several times that of Xuanfu envoy.
"Is this little guy crazy?" Pan Youdu felt that he had heard it wrong, or there was something wrong with Liang Pengfei's nephew.
"You know that martial arts is definitely a chore. We donated officials in the Qing Dynasty. Those who have a lot of money should either donate to a magistrate, or at least a magistrate. Even those rich people know how to donate a general judgment. In a year or two, the money donated will be returned." Pan Youdu decided to analyze Liang Pengfei, a stupid boy, from the perspective of a businessman.
But Liang Pengfei shook his head: "Uncle, you underestimate your nephew. If your nephew wants to donate to a civil servant, it's better to donate a false position. The little nephew wants to donate the military duty. Naturally, there is a reason for the little nephew."
Pan Youdu shook his head helplessly: "What's the truth? Everyone knows that the future of donating civil servants must be better than martial arts." Pan Youdu didn't directly describe the "future" as a "money path".
"The martial arts job that the little nephew wants to donate is the sailor's envoy or garrison, and it's better to be the Guangdong sailor." Liang Pengfei's voice was not high, but Pan Youdu felt that there seemed to be something touching in his head.
Looking at Liang Pengfei, who was young and elegant, wearing a silk shirt and holding a folding fan, Pan Youdu felt that he seemed to have been looking down on the young man in front of him.
Pan Youdu clearly knows what the Liang family started from. In short, it is a pirate who kills and steals goods. Now he wants to be an official, and he is also a general of the imperial court. He has seen a lot of officials and merchants combined with Pan Youdu, but it is the first time for officials and pirates combined with Pan Youdu. Moreover, while he was surprised, he had to admire this young man's sophisticated calculation.
Not only whitewashed the identity of his old Liang family, but also could also take the opportunity to expand the Liang family's various maritime businesses. At the same time, he could also use the power of the court to deal with the pirates who did not deal with the Liang family. Importantly, although the military service does not intervene in civil affairs, it has a lot of power. Pan Youdu's business, a big businessman, also gave the greedy guys of the sailors a headache. If Liang Pengfei could really enter the Guangzhou sailors, it would be more beneficial than harmful for Pan Youdu, an ally of the Liang family. Counting in one fell swoop is just like this.
--------------------
For a long time, Pan Youdu, who was scheming, smiled and touched his long beard: "The virtuous nephew has a lofty ambition. At the beginning, I only thought that my nephew was just a talent in business. Unexpectedly, my nephew could have such a vision, which really surprised me."
"My little nephew is just thinking nonsense. She always feels that she has an official on her body and needs to be smoother in any business. Do you think so?" Liang Pengfei picked up the tea bowl with a smile and said.
"That's good." Pan Youdu only nodded. This boy's words are simply hypocritical to the extreme. Unexpectedly, a young man who was only 17 or 18 years old seemed to be a thousand-year-old ghost in his head.
"Although the little nephew has a heart to serve the country, he has no way to do it. I heard that Uncle Shi has a good relationship with General Fu, the governor of Liangguang, so the little nephew is cheeky to ask for it. If it is presumptuous, I hope that Uncle Shi will be Han." Liang Pengfei stood up and said sincerely to Pan Youdu.
"You and I are close friends. Now Uncle Shi and I are in partnership with you to do business. If I can help, I naturally want to help. The introduction is all about Uncle Shi. However, General Fu's temper is a little strange, virtuous nephew..." Pan Youdu explained to Liang Pengfei, and his little abacus was also crackling.
After a long talk, Liang Pengfei said goodbye to Uncle Pan happily.
Pan Youdu assured him that he would definitely invite Liang Pengfei to go with General Fu's birthday banquet two and a half months later.
"Dad, what did you say to him? I muttered for more than an hour, and my mother sent me to see you a few times. Pan Youdu stood outside the main hall. As soon as he watched Liang Pengfei's figure disappear under the guidance of the housekeeper, he heard his daughter's resentful voice and couldn't help smiling and turning around: "Daughter, Dad is talking about a big deal with your brother."
"Does he want you to make additional investment again?" Pan Bingjie took her father's arm with a curious face.
Pan Youdu and his daughter walked slowly in the corridor, shook their heads and said, "Of course not. He is not here to ask for money. This boy is unusual. He has such ambitions at a young age, which is better than his father. I'm afraid Lao Liang's family is..."
--------------------
Liang Pengfei, who already had a development goal in his heart, was not satisfied with Guangzhou and the surrounding markets, but looked at the equally rich Fujian and Zhejiang. He was ready to open the market first, and then determine whether to build a factory according to the sales situation, because this time, Zhejiang and Fujian are not only rich, but also connected to the two Huai. The market is much larger than that of Guangdong and Guangxi. If the cigarette business can stand over there, then the Liang family's position and wealth in the business world will soar. Liang Yuanxia has seen his son's means of doing business. The investment of more than 100,000 taels of silver is incalculable. Therefore, he decided to unconditionally support his son to expand the tobacco workshop. Plans and ideas to expand the market.
Liang and his son have prepared 3,000 boxes of cigarettes for this purpose and are ready to ship them directly to Zhejiang and Fujian by their own sea ship. After all, their family has such a transportation channel, isn't it a waste?
"Young master, someone is looking for you." A servant of Liang's mansion walked into Liang Pengfei's study and reported in a low voice to Liang Pengfei, who was playing the landlord with his parents.
"Who?" Liang Pengfei didn't raise his head. He touched the sweat on the tip of his nose and looked at the pair of kings on the table angrily. There were only about a dozen copper coins left in front of him, and the high-browed official Liang was almost built into a hill in front of him. His mother Ye also happily counted the copper coins in front of him. Although they were all small money, the problem was to see his son shrill, which made Ye, the mother, feel very accomplished.
"It's a woman." Seeing Master Liang's face, the servant's answer became more careful. And it's not the same, and it's still with a child.
"Female? Child?!" Liang Daguan and his wife turned their eyes to the servant in surprise.
