Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1910, son's arrangement
In Liu Jin's mansion in the capital, in Liu Jin's study.

The cold wind was howling outside, the heavy snow was flying, the twelfth lunar month of winter, the sky was freezing cold, and it was night again, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

The room was as warm as spring and as bright as day. A few crystal chandeliers illuminated the scene in the room. Liu Jin was discussing something with his son.

"Father, I don't understand why I want to go to the South African colony, where there is nothing good, a wild place at the end of the world."

When Liu Jin's second son, Liu Da, learned that he was going to South Africa, he had a very strong resistance and was very unwilling to go.

The eldest son Liu Xin on the side was also puzzled and said: "Yes, father, isn't it good here in the capital?"

"Why does the second brother have to go to South Africa?"

Liu Jin looked at his eldest son, Liu Xin, and then at his second son, Liu Da. Both of them were born in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi. Both were born in the same year, and there is not much difference between the two, except for a few months.

According to the rules of Ming Dynasty, the two of them have grown up, and they can even marry wives and concubines.

British Duke Zhang Lun has already urged Liu Jin to quickly let Liu Xin marry her daughter away, but Liu Jin does not intend to let them get married too early, at least until they are eighteen years old. things.

Of course, except for the eldest son Liu Xin, the other children are not married. Liu Jin has seven sons and four daughters. Countless people have sharpened their heads and want to marry Liu Jin.

But Liu Jin only agreed to the British public. This was when the old British public Zhang Mao was alive. Zhang Mao personally took care of Liu Jin for this matter. Naturally, Liu Jin couldn't let Zhang Mao lose face, so he agreed to Zhang Lun's daughter. It's about making a baby kiss with Liu Xin.

Liu Jin, who comes from later generations, still hopes that his children can pursue their own love and love freely, instead of saying that they will decide their life-long events by the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers since childhood.

Both Liu Xin and Liu Da have reached the time to start a family and start a business, and they have both grown up.

Because the Xinxue middle school founded by Liu Jin was only three years old, and there was no high school for later generations, Liu Xin and Liu Da had already graduated from college, and they were both brilliant students who graduated from the Ming Imperial Institute of Technology.

After graduation, it is natural to arrange the future path.

Liu Jin is not an ordinary civil servant, he is the head of the civil servants. At the same time, he won the iron hat of the Duke of Liao by virtue of his military exploits. Therefore, the way of this child is also different from that of ordinary civil servants.

If you are an ordinary civil servant, you can also arrange for your children to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and then take the examination to take the road of becoming an official. For example, Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua, is the number one scholar himself, and his son is Tanhua. Both father and son are awesome.

But Liu Jin's family is now a representative of the Xungui Group, and this descendant will be the Xungui Group in the future, which means that they can no longer follow the route of civil servants.

So in the arrangement of the eldest son Liu Xin, Liu Jin arranged for him to enter the Daming Royal Military Academy to join the army. After graduating from the Daming Royal Military Academy, he basically worked in the Daming Army.

When Liu Jin burps in the future, he can inherit Liu Jin's title of Duke of Liao. At the same time, he can also have a certain influence and status in the army. In the future, he might be able to enter the Fifth Army similar to Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu Worked in the Governor's Mansion and assisted the emperor in taking charge of the Ming army.

Regarding the arrangement of the second child, Liu Da, Liu Jin plans to let him go to the South African colony after the new year, and first go to the Colonial Governor's Mansion to be a small clerk or something, and after a few years of experience to accumulate some experience, he will then arrange to go to the colony Starting at the grassroots level, it will all be on the side of the South African colony in the future.

In the future, he will inherit everything Liu Jin owns in the South African colony, the shares in the South African colony, the right to speak, etc. Liu Jin is the major shareholder of the South African colony and has the greatest right to speak. He has always been controlling everything in the South African colony.

The South African colony is also the escape route that Liu Jin arranged for his family, so there must be his own children in it, so that he can better control the South African colony and protect his family's interests and status in the South African colony.

This kind of arrangement obviously surprised both Liu Xin and Liu Da. From their point of view, after graduation, most of them would continue their studies in the capital, study, etc., or take imperial examinations, enter military schools, and train in the army. , development or something.

After all, most of the honorable children in the capital are like this, such as Ding Guogong, Cheng Guogong, British Duke, Australia Guogong and other children are also arranged in this way.

Who knew that Liu Jin actually sent Liu Da to South Africa.

Where is South Africa? It is Africa, thousands of miles away. In everyone's impression, Africa has always been a wild land, very backward, and it is far from being able to compare with the great Ming capital.

Liu Da, who was used to living in the capital, did not want to leave his parents and the familiar capital to go to South Africa.

"Your father, I came from a poor family. At first, there were only a few acres of Susukida. It was your grandma who worked hard to support my education. That's why I gradually got everything I have now."

"You have grown up too, it's time for you to know some of our family background."

Liu Jin looked at his son, thought for a while and said.

Liu Jin has always been extremely strict with his children, and he didn't tell them too much about his identity and how much money he has in his family.

The main purpose is to prevent them from becoming playboys, so even when it comes to pocket money, they are very stingy with them. The usual pocket money is very little, and they only have a little more pocket money during the Chinese New Year.

In addition, Liu Jin has always disliked things like gold, silver, jade, and jewelry, and what he can see most at home are all kinds of books.

This also makes them not know that their family is actually the richest in Ming Dynasty, and they think that their family is a relatively ordinary family. After all, the classmates around them have more pocket money than themselves, and those classmates are basically from ordinary families.

In addition, my cousins ​​and the like are even richer, like Xu Wan'er, Li Zhen's brother, and the younger brother's children, each of whom usually has a lot of pocket money, and they carry hundreds of dollars with them at all times. The owners of the two silver tickets, every time they go out to play together, they treat guests and pay the bill.

"Our family is actually the largest shareholder of the South African colony, and the South African colony is one of our family's most important assets."

"At the same time, the South African colony is very special. At the beginning, I, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, the Dingguo Gong Xu Yongning, the Australian Duke Yang Yun, and the Taipinghou Du Mingen and other military generals contributed money together. It was created with effort.”

"The purpose of setting up this South African colony at the beginning was to leave a way out for our honorable families, in case something happens in the future, we can also go to the South African colony, so that we don't even have a way out."

"There has been no one in our family here in the South African colony. Although our family is the major shareholder of the South African colony and has a great right to speak, if we don't have our own people, it will not work after all."

"That's why I hope you can go to the South African colony to develop and inherit this family business, leaving a retreat for our Liu family."

Liu Jin told some things about the South African colony in detail.

"what?"

"Our family is the major shareholder in the South African colony?"

When the two brothers heard this, they were a little surprised.

They have also heard many rumors about the South African colony. The South African colony is now the largest overseas colony, with a large population, strong economic strength, many industries, a large territory, and rich resources.

Such a colony is absolutely priceless and cannot be bought with money.

Unexpectedly, my family turned out to be the largest shareholder of the South African colony.

"Hmm~"

"You should also know what this means. This is an extremely important family business, and it is also an industry that our family must attach great importance to."

"That's why I asked you to go to South Africa. The responsibilities and burdens you have to shoulder are very heavy."

Liu Jin looked at Liu Da, and to be honest, he was a little bit reluctant, but he had to be willing. When a child grows up, he can't always stay by his side, he should grow up and be independent.

"But, but~"

After listening to Liu Da, he still didn't want to go. South Africa was too far away from Daming, and he had to leave his parents again. He was very reluctant and unwilling.

"Not so much, but you have grown up, and you will have a family and start a business in two years. You are a man, and you will naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities and burdens."

"Our family is not an ordinary family. Many things require long-term consideration and planning. You can't help being like an ordinary child."

Liu Jin said sternly.

If you don’t want to go, you have to go. To be honest, the South African colonial industry is beyond the reach of countless people. You have it since you were born, which has surpassed countless people.

Compared with ordinary people, Liu Jin's children are already very happy and lucky. They don't talk about rich clothes and good food since they were young, but they are also carefree. Liu Jin has made proper arrangements for reading, studying and other aspects. right.

Enjoying such benefits, it is natural to assume corresponding responsibilities and obligations. The prosperity and continuation of the family is the most important thing.

"Yes, Father!"

Seeing that things cannot be changed, Liu Da can only bow his head and agree.

But thinking that after the new year, he would go to such a remote place in the South African colony, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back after that, he seemed extremely lost and sad.

To be honest, he would rather be an ordinary person here in the capital than go to South Africa.
