Chapter 66: There is a way to make money (Part 2)

The United States actually hates the pressure and market manipulation in the US futures market. These speculators who manipulate the market and plunder the people's wealth are described in American public opinion as greedy and insatiable gluttons. In another time and space history, the political parties of the US state have taken legislative measures many times to curb pressure and market manipulation.

The state and federal governments of the United States are actually happy to see the outcome of China-funded companies joining some American farmers and agricultural trading companies in confronting speculators who manipulate the market. Since legal means are difficult to subdue these arrogant speculators, they should simply let these market forces fight each other. The result also made the government very satisfied: speculators like Old Hutchin who manipulate the market and cruelly exploited American grain merchants and farmers were cleaned up, and futures prices returned to the normal market supply and demand track, which also stabilized the economic development of the United States and stabilized the order of American agriculture.

This effort made by Chinese capital has brought real benefits to American farmers. It has naturally won a lot of favor in the south of the United States, which is dominated by agriculture, and has especially praised many factions of the Democratic Party. It has gradually promoted tacit understanding and cooperation between Chinese capital and the Democratic Party, and even the major consortiums behind the Democratic Party.

Zheng Yu naturally knew these things well.

But he never expected that this short young man, who seemed to be very young, had such knowledge.

Zheng Yu looked at the short man, for some reason, although the man's voice was a bit muffled through the scarf, he always felt that the other party was very young, and at most he would be an adult. For Zheng Yu, an emperor who deals with a group of old men and half-large men all day long and has a "wise king" face, such a young man is very thin and really a little brother who needs care and love.

He felt more and more that the "child" on the other side was a bit inconsistent in his conversation. Finally, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch the other party's hat, and sighed with emotion: "What are you pretending to be in this mind?"

The short man seemed to be startled, and the other masked short man next to him couldn't help but pull the short young man back and whisper: "Sir..."

Zhou Weiyuan next to him was already stunned, staring at the "Director Chen" blankly, opening his mouth wide, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Zheng Yu was also a little embarrassed at this time. Unexpectedly, he was excited for a moment and actually did such a very offensive thing. He finally blushed and laughed: "Sorry, I was excited for a moment, a little lost in my heart... I did get along with Brother Liu at first sight, please forgive me..."

Zhou Weiyuan nodded with a wry smile: "Sometimes this child's words are a little ignorant... Mr. Chen, we still have some urgent tasks, and I'm afraid we have to take the lead..."

Zheng Yu was slightly stunned, looked at the other person's expression, then looked at the short young man who looked at him curiously, and shrugged: "That's fine... Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. When you return to Beijing, you will have time to ask more questions."

The short young man looked at the man's movements and a certain kind of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

---------------------

Beijing, China Palace.

Zheng Yu, who had recovered his emperor's outfit, flirted with the documents in his hand.

"Liu Xuanye, male, 22 years old, studying in the Department of Economics of Imperial University... He is 1.82 meters tall and loves basketball?" Zheng Yu looked up at Ke Shan, "Are you sure you are wrong?"

"It's definitely no problem." Ke Shan was a little confused, but answered firmly, "This is definitely not wrong."

Zheng Yu picked up a few more documents: "This is his younger brother and sister..."

After a while, the emperor raised his head and looked extremely wonderful.

He closed his eyes, and after a long time he suddenly showed a strange smile: "Zhuo Feng, should you punish this crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Ke Shan had long been accustomed to this mysterious style and said simply: "It should be punished."

"It's done." Zheng Yu stood up, his mouth slightly raised, "Tomorrow night, let's go to eat his Liu Jianrong's big family."

--------------

The lights are on.

Liu Jianrong’s mansion located in Nanluoguxiang.

In the living room, Liu Jianrong sipped tea briefly, feeling a little nervous.

The opposite Ke Zhuofeng was a confidant of the emperor. He heard that he had gradually taken over the coordination power of most of the royal industries. Although Liu Jianrong was a little conceited, he knew that his family was not enough to get to the top wealthy families of the empire. In the past, he had spent a lot of effort to get closer to the imperial property and the palace, but the progress was always slow. But today a big pie fell from the sky. The sudden visit of this hot young upstart really surprised Liu Jianrong and couldn't help but hesitate.

Liu Jianrong took advantage of the tea to quietly look at the young people around Keshan.

The man opposite was wearing glasses, his skin was a little dark, and the short horoscope on his lips must be neatly constructed. Chen Liang, who claimed to be the emperor, must have a different status from his own perspective, judging from Ke Shan's expression.

Liu Jianrong thought about it, but could not guess that these people suddenly came to He Guigan.

"Liu Jue has always been in the textile industry in Anhui Province. He has made many contributions to government finance and taxation, and has made many contributions before and after the National War. He is a model in the business world." Ke Shan said leisurely, "In terms of imperial industries, he has many involvement in the textile industry itself and upstream and downstream industries, and he has some business dealings with Liu Jue. I am still in charge of imperial industries. Although I have met Liu Jue, I always come and go in a hurry and have not asked for more advice. Today, I am here to bridge the regrets and communicate and return to benefit the coordinated development of the future."

Liu Jianrong's heart moved.

The royal industry has made frequent moves recently, and there are many rumors in the business community, saying that the royal industry is preparing to rectify its layout, gradually withdraw from certain fields, recover funds, and focus on more forward-looking and strategic industries. Liu Jianrong has long been salivating about the large-scale textile industry and the synthetic dyes that he wants to close. As long as he can eat it in one bite, Zhang Jian's Dasheng Textile is not only far behind in scale, but also in terms of various production technologies and management levels, it is unlikely that he can look down on Meimei. At this point, this former Qing juren almost laughed out loud.

"Zhuo Feng is a talented man, I have heard of it." Liu Jianrong looked at Keshan at this moment, as if he was looking at a boy from Shancai, but his face was calm and composed. "The past has come and go in a hurry, and it is a pity that has not been discussed in depth. Today, I sit and talk to my brother together, which is a pity that I regret in my life. If Zhuo Feng has inquired, I will naturally say everything. If I learn from my brother and make up for the national affairs, I will be considered as fulfilling the responsibilities of the empire and the people, and I can be said to be without regrets."

Keshan and Liu Jianrong talked about the industry for a while, and Liu Jianrong took advantage of the opportunity to tell the production technology, product quality, and future plans of his own textile industry. Zheng Yu next to him looked at the businessman with a clear face, elegant demeanor, Western frankness in Confucian style, and confident in his words, and thought that this person was indeed a talent. But compared to his amazing and stunning person... it seemed less dazzling.

As he spoke, Ke Shan gradually turned the topic to Liu Jianrong's family.

Speaking of juniors, Liu Jianrong is a little proud of his capital. He is extremely talented, always regarded as a Confucian businessman, and is romantic, and refuses "elegant things" to come, so he has no debts for love throughout his life. However, although this person is happy, he has to be considered responsible. At present, the youngest one has only been with the family, but he has only been with the family two years ago. He is an Annan talented woman who studied in a girls' school in Beijing. Her parents have always wanted to climb up the top. With all kinds of arrangements, Liu Jianrong fell in love with this girl at the time of seeing her, and the girl was shy and shy and half-suppressed, and soon accepted the family.

However, what Liu Jianrong is most proud of is his descendant. His legitimate son Liu Xuanye was born in Nanhua Academy and will graduate from the Imperial University next year. Liu Jianrong is well-informed and knows that the business school within the royal industry has already recruited students, so he contacted his son early to apply for the exam so that he can take over the industry in the future.

The other five concubines had children. According to the law of the eldest son inheritance of the Chinese Empire, the law also stipulated that concubines should not be discriminated against. In addition to inheriting industry, Liu Jianrong also put in the efforts to educate his children. After graduating from Luzhong, Liu Xuanzhan caught up with the national war and got a lottery on the Northeast front. After returning to the team, the Russian army was defeated and followed the troops to chase the north and also won many medals, especially a second-class Xuanwu and a third-class white tiger, which was even more enviable. The third-class Liu Xuanwei was studying in the Navy. Because he did not graduate from Haizhong, he was transferred to the merchant fleet during the war and failed to perform combat missions. He has now returned to school to continue his studies and is preparing to join the combat fleet after graduation.

In addition, several concubines and children also achieved success in their studies, and there was no so-called playboy. Liu Jianrong felt that his family education was effective and his management was well managed. He was always very proud of this, and of course he boasted a lot.

Several young masters of the Liu family who were at home were called out to greet him. Except for the second son Liu Xuanzhang and his troops were stationed in Siberia, the third son Liu Xuanwei returned to the sea school, the fourth son Liu Xuanming was not in Shenghua Academy, the eldest son Liu Xuanye was filial at home on weekends, and the fifth son Liu Xuanyong was still in his infancy, and they all came out to greet him.

After a greeting, Ke Shan had a little more favor for Liu Xuanye, a young man who had not many wealthy families. Although Liu Jianrong had been in the official and business world for many years and was a figure from the dyeing vat of the former Qing Dynasty, he could inevitably have some problems of being inclined to the flames and utilitarianism, but these descendants could indeed be called strict control and well-educated.

Zheng Yu, who was disguised as a disguise, looked around and knew that Liu Xuanye was indeed not the "Liu Xuanye" he met in Tianjin that day.

He thought about it and it seemed that the "Liu Xuanye" should not be one of the young masters of the Liu family, but he was also called Zhou Weiyuan's "uncle". It must be the daughter of Liu Jianrong's wife. Although he was mentally prepared, Zheng Yu couldn't help but become more and more curious at this time. I wonder how such an extraordinary girl was born and raised in such a family?

As Ke Shan and Liu Jianrong were talking, the topic was about the young lady.

"I have heard of Liu Jue's tutors for a long time, and I really admire him." Ke Shan said with a smile, "But what I admire most is that Liu Jue abandoned bad customs and set the stage for the business world of the empire. He was really shameful to his peers. The female princes in the house have always been famous in the capital. Whether it is knowledge or knowledge, I have heard of it. We have seen the style of a man. I wonder if we can meet several female princes again and fulfill their long-cherished wishes?"

When Liu Jianrong heard this, his eyes almost fell out.

He never expected that the confidants around the emperor, the powerful and powerful, would make such a request in person. Even though the imperial culture has been renewed for a long time, the feminist movement and feminism have penetrated into the people and have become popular, it is still rude to directly ask for the female relatives of others, not to mention that Ke Shan himself is not an elder, but is actually just a young man of twenty-seven or eight. Such a person's proposal to meet his master's unmarried daughter in person can be regarded as horrifying.

Liu Jianrong stared at Ke Shan for a moment, but didn't see anything strange. He gradually calmed down. He heard that Ke Zhuofeng had never been married and was one of the "good son-in-law" planned by various families in Beijing. Could it be that he was a proposing marriage? But since ancient times, even if a man fell in love with a certain woman, he had never heard of him running to the other party's house to meet his lover. Could this Ke Shan be so confused about his new study and was a fool? But no matter how he looked at this, he was a mature and experienced figure?

Liu Jianrong thought again and again, Keshan had a special status and outstanding talent. If he really had a heart for his daughter, it would be a good thing. But "I heard about it for a long time" and "I've heard of it" and "I've made a long-lasting wish" mean? Could it be that his daughter had something wrong with him, and he had had sex with this person outside?!

When Liu Jianrong thought of this, his heart was filled with anger again, and he wanted to arrest his daughters for interrogation. In this way, he looked at Ke Shan opposite him with a smile and stared at him. He couldn't help but think of the identity and power of this person. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's not a good idea to be a pretentious person. It is the national policy of the empire for studying for women. My Liu family was named a baron and he is even more an example for the people. However, the girls in the customs family are vulgar, shallow in their knowledge and stubborn temperament. Please ask Zhuo Feng to take care of it."

Ke Shan smiled: "What are you talking about... Liu Jue's daughter is beautiful and smart, I have no other intentions, I just want to have a long experience."

Liu Jianrong immediately arranged for his family to invite a few ladies to come. The few chatted for a while, and footsteps sounded, and several women in different clothes came in a stylish manner.

The first girl was wearing a light blue Chinese-style skirt on the bottom, with a round white mid-sleeved top, holding a handkerchief in her hand, bangs with eyebrows, two braids hanging down to her ears, her eyes drooped, her face was fair and smooth, and her figure was in harmony. She seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and she brought a few younger sisters to the hall, and gave a gift: "My father."

----------

Liu Ziye pursed his lips slightly, his face pale.

She is Liu Jianrong's eldest daughter, and was sent to the UK to study at Rodin Girls' School at the age of twelve. She was very interested in business since she was a child. She originally planned to study in the UK, but half a year ago, she was forcibly brought back from the UK by her father Liu Jianrong to receive the lady education of a tutor. According to Liu Jianrong's idea, this daughter must marry a wealthy or noble family to consolidate and expand the strength of the Bohai-Jiamei Consortium. He himself promoted Jiamei's industry by marrying the Zhou family, and naturally he would not let his daughter go.

However, Liu Ziye herself is not satisfied with living a life of taking care of her husband and children early.

At Luoding Girls' School, her grades were outstanding, and many ideas in business proved to be very predictive later. My uncle Zhou Weiyuan often lamented that if she was a boy, she was afraid that her future achievements would be far ahead of Liu Jianrong and herself, and might not even be inferior to the major giants in the imperial business world.

But she is a woman.

Although for the sake of scientific childbirth, the marriage law was promulgated after the establishment of the empire, which stipulated that men were over 18 and women were over 16 and could only be married. However, since ancient times, Chinese women had a very early marriage. They often had to get married at the age of 12 or 13, and were already a bunch of children of all sizes at the age of 17 or 18. Although Liu Jianrong had a very new style, he did not dare to slack off in his children's marriage.

Liu Jianrong gave his daughter a new education since he was a child, in fact, in order to keep up with fashion and prevent her daughter from "being out of date" and not being able to marry a good family. Later, he was sent to the UK to study for girls' school, and because the new figures in the Empire admired the British Empire, Yu Liu's figures often looked up to him. But when his daughter became an adult, Liu Jianrong found that the child had his own ideas, especially opposed arranged marriages, early marriage and early childbirth. He felt that his dignity and power of fathers were challenged, so Liu Jianrong certainly had to take action "decisively". On the one hand, he severely rejected his daughter's request to continue to study, and on the other hand, he "actively looked for unmarried children from aristocratic families" to plan marriage.

Of course, Liu Ziye would not "stop surrender". Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Tianjin to relax, she instigated her uncle Zhou Weiyuan to buy futures, preparing to prove her "strength" in order to convince her father to agree to her study abroad or to take over some of the business. She even made preparations, as long as her father did not force her to get married as a housewife immediately, even if she found someone to get engaged, as long as she could have the career she liked.

Today she already knew that there were distinguished guests coming to visit, and that they were "scary from a terrible background". The old mother mysteriously said that they were "the people inside". Liu Ziye naturally knew the meaning of "inside", but she didn't think much about it. But when her father asked her to take her sisters out to meet the guests, she immediately felt worried.

In her opinion, it was probably another nobleman who "selected a concubine", and his real father probably had the intention to marry. At this point, Liu Ziye was completely disappointed. Even though he had studied hard for many years and was very confident in his wisdom and knowledge, in the eyes of others, he was just a little woman with long hair and short knowledge, just a tool for marriage and childbirth.

Liu Ziye had inquired in a low voice before coming in. She heard that two young people were headed by, and they were not ugly in appearance, so she was inexplicably relieved. But now she was present and being criticized like a product, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
