Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 850 The Aftermath
The emergency in Tongzhou seemed to be over, but there were still ripples in Jia Rong's heart.

If it was placed in the world of Tang Shuanglong, I am afraid that it would have been reckless long ago.

That is to say, there seems to be a fairy in the world of Red Mansions, which makes him afraid and unwilling to act rashly.

But Jia Rong has her own plans and ideas, and she estimates that there will be a considerable degree of fierce collision with the current vested interest groups.

Like the Cao Gang occupying the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and claiming to have a million strong people, various confrontations will be inevitable in the future.

It's just that he didn't have the idea to come up directly.

In this world, Jia Rong is not the only one who wants to change.

Of course, the first to make preparations were the so-called four major Jinling families.

The Xue family, who lived in Rongfu, soon learned of what happened in Tongzhou.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan didn't have much feelings, but felt that Lian Er and Jia Zhu were unlucky, and they encountered such an embarrassing incident within a year of taking office.

I don't know, will it affect their official career?
The Xue family expressed their condolences in the same way as before, and the 5000 taels of condolences made Mrs. Wang, who was a little upset in her heart, smile.

Xue Baochai, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong.

The Ningfu Women's School did not intend to conceal the news. On the contrary, it took the initiative to pass the situation through the journal to let the students know the details.

During the self-study, Qin Keqing, the head of the mountain, took the lead, and a group of interested female students carefully studied and discussed all aspects of the impact of this incident.

How should I put it, Ningfu female school students will encounter such a situation more or less in the future, so it is good to have a mental preparation in advance.

Xue Baochai actively participated, and during the discussion process, she realized that the impact of this incident on the Xue family was not very good.

As I said before, as an imperial merchant, the Xue family has a business network all over the main prosperous towns in Daqian.

Inevitably, it will have relatively close ties with various forces on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the main artery of north-south transportation.

As a force that cannot be ignored on the canal, the relationship between the Xue family and the Cao Gang is quite close.

It used to be nothing, but the situation is different now.

Even though Ningrong and Rongfu had reconciled with the Cao Gang on the surface, how could they not have any grievances in private and then pissed off?
If Mrs. Wang were to know, it would be bad for the Xue family.

At night in Lixiangyuan, she told Aunt Xue about this consideration, hoping that Aunt Xue knew it well and would not be disturbed by possible problems.

"How can this be good?"

Aunt Xue panicked immediately, she didn't have the courage to offend Rongfu right now.

But if she had to make up her mind, it would be impossible to completely cut off from the Cao Gang. If so, the Xue family's business would lose at least half of it.

Aunt Xue actually didn't care, anyway, she planned to stay in the capital in the future.

The Beidi property in his hands is enough for a pair of children to squander.

But she had to consider the thoughts of the Xue family clan. After all, Xue Pan is still the patriarch of the Xue family in Jinling, so it is impossible to completely separate from the clan.

Previously, Xue Pan had to leave Jinling temporarily to avoid danger because of a life lawsuit.

In order to keep their identity as the imperial merchant and the status of the patriarch, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan paid a lot of money and basically gave up the Xue family's business in the south to the clan.

Of course, the Jinling clan had no choice but to rely on the patriarch Xue Pan.

After all, Xue Pan was living in the Rong Mansion at this time, and Jinling Branch could not afford to offend him at all.

"Mother, don't worry, the Xue family is in a dilemma, I believe the Jia family knows it well, and will naturally solve our worries for us!"

Xue Baochai could see it, and didn't really care about it.

Among the four major families in Jinling, the Xue family is a veritable money bag. Every year, they donate huge amounts of money to the other three families to maintain their status.

As for this, it is impossible for the other three major families to ignore the difficulties that the Xue family may encounter.It is a matter of vain money, and no one can give up easily.

Of course, based on Xue Baochai's observation, the Ning Mansion has a more stable financial income and may not care too much about it, but it is absolutely impossible for the Rong Mansion to give up.

Knowing this is enough.

"That's good!"

Aunt Xue is just an ordinary housewife, with average vision and ability.

When encountering something, it is inevitable that you can't see clearly. Fortunately, Xue Baochai helped to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, which saved many unnecessary losses.

For such a situation, if Xue Baochai had no idea in mind, it would be impossible.

After all, if the Xue family wanted to maintain their status as the four major families in Jinling, they had to continuously pay tribute to the other three major families.

Over time, the amount of money can really be described as massive.

That is real money, real benefits.

It's okay to talk about a normal year, but if it encounters a business downturn, then the Xue family will have a hard time.

There must be absolutely no less money to pay tribute to the other three major families, this is a sure thing.

Once the business fails to earn enough money, the Xue family can only make up for it out of their own pockets, which is a very unstable factor.

You know, since the Xue family was headed by Xue Pan, the business scale and profits can be said to have declined sharply.

If it weren't for the momentum of the four major families in Jinling to stabilize several fixed incomes, they might go bankrupt within a few years.

Xue Baochai didn't want such a thing to happen, and the other three major families would not be polite, and the Xue family would be nothing without interests.

In fact, with the obvious rise of the Ningrong Second Mansion, the four major families in Jinling became more and more closely connected.

When it comes to important festivals, important figures including the Wang family, historians, and Xue family will all gather at the Jia family to connect with each other and discuss common development strategies by the way.

There is no way, the so-called four big families in Jinling are nothing more than an alliance of interests.

If one of them suddenly falls behind halfway, the other three will not pull people up.

This time, the two officials of the Rong Mansion who were working outside were in trouble, and the four big family members consciously gathered in the Rong Mansion's study room to discuss during the Dragon Boat Festival.

No one is a fool, offending the Rong Mansion is offending the entire four major families in Jinling.

No matter what is going on right now, there will be a fight between dragons and tigers in the future.

Jia Rong told the other three big families to be calm and not to be impatient. The four big families in Jinling advance and retreat together. Naturally, they will fight together in the future, but there is no need to do anything deliberately at the moment.

If you really have an idea, you can plan it in advance.

The current situation in the court is quite good for the four major families in Jinling.

Now that the throne has been completely stabilized, as time goes by, the power in his hands will become heavier and heavier, and the emperor's restraint on him will become weaker and weaker.

At this time, today naturally wants to do something, but luckily leave a name in history...
