Chapter 7147 The Dou Family
When Feng Meiyu returned to the mansion, it was nearly dusk, but he didn't go back to his inner house, but ran to the place where his father lived.

After the servant girl reported, he entered his father's study.

It can be seen that Feng Qingya is sitting at the desk.

The table was full of documents, Feng Qingya held a pen in his hand, and inscribed calligraphy and paintings on it from time to time.

"I have met my lord father." Feng Meiyu greeted him first.

The Feng family has strict rules, and all filial piety and etiquette cannot be broken.

"My son, you're back. How did you talk with Mr. Luo?" Feng Qingya turned her head, her originally stern face relaxed.

No matter what, he still loves his only son. In addition, his son has been quite competitive recently, which made him earn a lot of face.

"Father, Mr. Luo said that he will take care of our family's business, and there will be news when the time comes."

"In addition, what he means is that in a few days, I will enter Bailudong Academy with him." Feng Meiyu said.

"This is a good thing. It seems that Mr. Luo appreciates it very much. In a few days, I will ask someone to prepare the admission materials for you. From now on, I will work hard and work hard, so as to have a bright future." Feng Qingya said with a smile.

"Father, but I still have a question. Mr. Luo has the official position of admiral of the navy, and he is the son of a great general, but is it necessary for our Feng family to rely on him to have a bright future?"

Feng Meiyu felt very puzzled. Although Mr. Luo's own ability and family background are considered excellent, the Luo family is a rising star that has only risen in recent years. Compared with many big families with deep foundations, there is still a big gap .

How could his father, Feng Qingya, value him so much?
"It cannot be said, this is a great secret. You only need to know a little bit now, and you may be in danger of your life. Just remember and follow Mr. Luo closely!" Feng Qingya said suddenly with a serious expression.

"Understood." Feng Meiyu didn't dare to ask any more questions immediately, it was like this every time before, once Feng Qingya was so serious, it was the time when the matter was really serious, and could even endanger her family and life.

……

After Feng Meiyu left, Luo Xingchen went to see Fang Yizhi again, and chatted with him about Confucianism for a while. After he left, he was about to go back to his room to rest, but Steward Wang rushed over.

"Who do you think is here?" Luo Xingchen didn't hear clearly at first.

"It's Dou Jinhan from the Dou family." Butler Wang said it again.

"Why did he come to my house? Our family should not have friendship with his Dou family." Luo Xingchen was a little puzzled.

If there is any private friendship with the Dou family, it stands to reason that his mother and father would leave messages, but Luo Xingchen has never heard of it.

"This, but I am not." Wang Guanjia said.

"Greeting to the guests first, I'll come later." Luo Xingchen said.

Asking Steward Wang is a bit difficult.

Butler Wang is mainly in charge of the affairs inside the mansion, he doesn't know much about the relationship outside the mansion, and he doesn't know anything about some secret matters.

"Here."

Steward Wang bowed and left. He shouldn't have done these things originally, but Young Master Luo just came back recently, so it's better to do some things by himself.

After a while, Luo Xingchen washed his face, and after regaining consciousness, he went out of the room and came to the hall outside.

This is the place to receive Bei Liyuan. After Bei Liyuan left, Dou Jinhan was welcomed again.

They have a common feature, that is, they are not invited by Luo Xingchen, but came by themselves.

"I've seen Mr. Luo."

When Dou Jinhan saw Luo Xingchen appearing, he greeted him very politely.

"You don't need to be too polite, you and I already met at the literary meeting." Luo Xingchen said lightly.

What he said was also the truth. During the literary meeting, the two had already talked, but it was just a few simple greetings, and they didn't go deep into it.

"Young Master Luo, it's a bit abrupt to come here this time." Dou Jinhan said.

"No, Brother Dou is a talented man in the capital. It is an honor for my Luo family to come to the Hou's Mansion."

Mr. Luo also exchanged some pleasantries with him.

The Dou family is different from ordinary aristocratic families. This is a big family with a long history. Luo Xingchen still has some respect for being able to pass it on for so long.

"Mr. Luo, I'm going to cut to the chase. This time I'm here mainly because I want to discuss something with Mr. Luo." Dou Jinhan said.

"Please tell me." Luo Xingchen was also very curious about what Dou Jinhan's intentions were.

"Actually, it's nothing to put it bluntly, it's just the word shipping." Dou Jinhan said.

"Where did you hear that the imperial court wanted to ship by sea?" Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Dou family still has some channels, besides, it's not a secret among the wealthy families in the capital." Dou Jinhan said with a smile.

"Since your Dou family already knew about it, then wait for the court's formal announcement, and then follow the court's requirements, then it's fine." Luo Xingchen also smiled slightly.

"That being said, there are many things that need to be done step by step. This sea transportation needs big ships, mature shipping routes, and sales channels. The only one who can do this is Mr. Luo in Daqi." Dou Jinhan said.

"Although the imperial court has never opened up sea transportation, it has never really banned private sea transportation. Otherwise, how did many commodities from Western Yajili and other countries, and even Sunrise countries, enter Daqi? Privately, sea transportation has long existed, and the scale It's not young, so what you said, brother Dou, that only Mr. Luo can do it is too sensational." Luo Xingchen did not agree with Dou Jinhan's statement.

"It's folk, and it's generally controlled by families in the south of the Yangtze River. The four major families in the south of the Yangtze River secretly use sea transportation, but other places, special families, don't have sea transportation. Those in the capital who have this strength are not Luo. The son is none other than you." Dou Jinhan said sincerely.

"The capital, indeed, only I can do it. I have new-style warships and new-style merchant ships, but those are not my own. They are imperial court ships. Even if it is by sea, I am also contributing to the emperor, not for the benefit of the family." Luo Xingchen Said lightly.

"But we heard that the imperial court wants to set up a shipping company, and this company can be a shareholder." Dou Jinhan paused.

"That's right, the imperial court does intend to prepare a shipping company, but it has not been announced yet." This is not a secret, and Luo Xingchen has no intention of hiding it.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Luo, if our family wants to become a shareholder, it is very difficult for the Dou family. Now, there is really not much way out." Dou Jinhan sighed.

"Mr. Luo, you should know what happened when our Dou family was in Daqi, right? At that time, the Dou family chose the wrong person." Dou Jinhan said.

"Times have changed, and the emperor never said to pursue the Dou family..." Luo Xingchen said disapprovingly.

"But the Dou family can't make a difference in the court. Over the years, the emperors have never reused the Dou family. After such a year, the Dou family has already declined." Dou Jinhan sighed.
