Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 115, Tang Tiger's Backer

Zhang Qi thought that although his Zhang family was still thriving, it was becoming more and more difficult to sustain it under the seemingly prosperous surface. With no successors, they could only rely on marriage to maintain everything now.

The Liu Jin in front of him has a bright future. The key is that he was born in a poor family. Such a person has no foundation, if his Zhang family can unite with the other party.

With the Zhang family's support, Liu Jin will go more smoothly. In turn, he can also become the support of the Zhang family. This investment will definitely not lose money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi also tentatively asked: "How old is Mr. Liu this year?"

"Eighteen years old~"

Liu Jin's eyes lit up slightly, and he replied with a smile.

The other party must have checked out his details long ago, and now he even asked about his age. This must be the next step to ask about his life's major events.

"Eighteen years old, not too young, have you ever been married?"

Zhang Qi touched his mustache and asked with a smile.

"Never, my mother mentioned this matter before, but I have been concentrating on my studies all along, thinking that I will think about my life's major events after I am elected."

Liu Jin's reply was naturally very mellow, but the truth behind it was that it was very simple. Now I only think about taking the imperial examination, and I don't want to marry a wife yet, so I don't want to propose a marriage.

Zhang Qi also nodded slightly after listening. He naturally understood the meaning of Liu Jin's words, and smiled and said: "The male college should be married and the female college should be married. Since ancient times, there is a saying that you first get married and then start a career."

"Mr. Liu has lofty aspirations, but we can't delay getting married and starting a business. I wonder if there is a girl he likes?"

Although he understood the meaning of Liu Jin's words, he decided to invest in Liu Jin as a potential stock as much as possible. Anyway, their old Zhang family is very productive, and there are many girls waiting to be married in this family. Marrying one to Liu Jin is also considered A low-cost, potentially high-return investment.

"Not yet~"

Liu Jin shook his head and replied, Zhang Qi was determined to introduce his wife to him. Since this is the case, let's see the situation first. Anyway, if she is beautiful, she will not be at a disadvantage. If she is not beautiful, she can also refuse.

"That's great~"

When Zhang Qi heard this, he immediately laughed happily, and said, "Mr. Liu, I think you are a good-looking talent, and you are full of talent. You must have a bright future in the future. I have a few family friends and a few brothers in the clan. The family just happens to be waiting for you." Among the daughters who are married, there are many who are educated, virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful, would you like me to introduce you?"

"Thank you sir for your kindness~"

As soon as Liu Jin heard it, he quickly got up to express his gratitude, and then said with a little pondering: "This year is going to be Qiu Wei, and now I am also planning to read only the books of sages and sages, and keep my ears off the outside world. I will try my best to pass the exam in one go. Juren."

"Sir, you also know that whether it's the road of the imperial examination, or whether you can work for Tianzi in the future, the earlier the younger the better."

"So at this time, I have no plans to start a family. After the autumn, no matter whether I win the exam or not, I will definitely start a family and start a career. Even if the husband doesn't say anything, I will have the cheek to ask him."

There is no way but to continue to procrastinate. When it comes to the imperial examination, it is definitely the biggest thing, and other things have to make way for it.

"That's right, what you said is very reasonable. If I could have understood this truth earlier, I wouldn't have missed the exam."

"Since this is the case, I will force it. I hope that Mr. Liu will go to high school in one fell swoop, and he will be named on the gold list next year. If he can be the number one in the exam, then our entire Changli County will be honored."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Qi thought about it and nodded with emotion.

He got married early back then, and it might not be a good thing for this young man to marry early, sometimes his love for pleasure would ruin his studies, so he failed repeatedly, especially when he was older, and in the end he was just a scholar.

"Sir, you have won the prize. If you can pass the exam, you will burn the incense. I really don't dare to think about getting the title on the gold list and parading around the street with flowers."

Liu Jin smiled and said modestly.

Afterwards, the two continued to chat with each other, and while chatting and chatting, they also talked about celebrities in Changli County and Yongping Prefecture.

"After all, our northern region is still inferior to the southern region. This imperial examination is not as good as the scholars in the south, and the people who are officials in the court are far inferior to the southern region."

"Among the people from Changli County, there is only one magistrate from the fifth rank. This person is Tang Zhengliang. Maybe in the future, Mr. Liu will have the opportunity to be an official in the same dynasty as him."

Zhang Qi was very familiar with the situation in Changli County and even Yongping Mansion as a whole, and he was even more familiar with those capable people in his own place.

"Tang Zhengliang?"

When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. This person is also surnamed Tang. Could he have something to do with Tang Huo? Thinking of this, Liu Jin also tried to ask: "The knowledge of the state from the fifth rank is also very remarkable. The Tang family in Zhizhou is also a scholarly heir, so they can cultivate such a great person."

"Mr. Liu may not know something. This Tang Zhizhou's family is actually poor, and it is only through the imperial examination step by step that it is today. The Tang family in this Tang Zhizhou is now the most popular family in our Changli County. It has something to do with you. Tang Huhu, who is celebrating the festival, is actually Tang Zhizhou's younger brother."

Zhang Qi smiled and shook his head, and then also told the relationship between Tang Huhu and Tang Zhengliang.

Behind the Tang family was Tang Zhengliang, a fifth-rank magistrate, as the backer. Now it is the time when the limelight is in full swing. As an old family in Changli County, the Zhang family has naturally been impacted by the Tang family.

The Tang family fought fiercely with the Zhang family in fields, shops, salt business and many other aspects. Because the Zhang family was weakening day by day and could only rely on marriage for support, it was also at a disadvantage. It was a bit miserable being suppressed by the Tang family. Many benefits.

Naturally, Zhang Qi silently wrote down these in his heart. The Zhang family can't beat the Tang family now, but this doesn't mean that Zhang Qi is the target of bullying.

Now that Liu Jin just happened to mention this matter, he naturally said by the way that although Liu Jin is young, he can be regarded as a potential stock. If he can make a difference in the future, perhaps in a few decades, when Liu Jin is so prosperous, Then there are good fruits from the Tang family to eat.

"That's how it is~ Thank you, sir, for your enlightenment."

As soon as Liu Jin heard it, he immediately understood that the Tang family was actually the later leeches who didn't have enough to eat, so they sucked blood even more.

Obviously, the Tang family not only encroached on the interests of countless low-level ordinary people, but also hurt the interests of established big families such as the Zhang family.

Liu Jin also estimated that the conflict between Zhang's family and Tang's family must be very deep. After all, the cake is as big as it is, and if the Tang family eats more, this family will eat less.

　Alas, the number of collections has increased too little~Maybe it’s because I didn’t write well~
