Lu Hanqiang expressed great interest in the southern family's method of educating his children, and immediately listened with great interest to Zheng Hongda, a fat man, who said something like a treasure, and then prepared a good reference for his own future use.
In terms of family education, Lu Hanqiang thinks that he is a failure, a second brother originally wanted to be trained into a gentleman, but he became a nerd, he originally wanted to train his little sister into a lady, but he was made into a little fat by himself, and now he should indeed learn from other people's methods of cultivating talents, and learn a lesson, since this generation is not used, then use it in the next generation.
Zheng Hongda saw that the dignified supervisor was interested, and then pinched his fingers and introduced to Lu Hanqiang: "Our Zheng family arranges the future of the children of the family according to the level of agriculture and industry, and the children born in the upper third room of the Zheng family are enlightened at the age of five, enter the private school at the age of seven, and enter the academy at the age of ten.
When they were thirteen years old, they began to go out to take care of the family's field industry, which is the basis for our family's abundant food and clothing, and we are also enlightened at the age of five, but after the age of eight, we can only enter the library and learn business arithmetic directly.
At the age of fifteen, he had to enter the family's various trading houses as an apprentice and begin to learn business and trade, and at the age of thirty like me, I was sent out to manage a ship, and there were not many people who went to sea to trade directly, and most of them did not come out to take charge of the family until they were forty or fifty years old, and this was the foundation for our family to have a living water flow at all times.
As he spoke, his face was full of pride.
When Lu Hanqiang heard that a big family had such an arrangement, he couldn't help but applaud, and said with emotion: "This is really the way to survive the family for a hundred years, not putting eggs in one basket, so as to avoid the risk of family decline, it seems that at the beginning, your head of the Kai family did have great wisdom." ” Zheng Hongda said modestly: "My lord praises it falsely, in fact, rules like this are almost always practiced in this way in the families in the south, which is not unusual, and the major families have their own academies, and they abound, which is the reason why Jiangnan is full of humanities." ” "The people are rich and the culture is prosperous, only when the people are rich, can the culture flourish, this is just as the sage said, food and clothing are enough to know the etiquette, the rich connotation of the culture of this great country, is borne by these countless families, now the world has been saying, there is no China after Yashan, in fact, it is not, although Yashan has cut off the orthodox rule of the Han people, but the clothing culture of the Han people, but it is still in this continuous family to continue to inherit, this is the Chinese family, for this up and down 5,000 years, cultural inheritance has made contributions, Brother Zheng, for the cultural contribution made by a family like you to the Han nation, I salute you, brother.
Lu Hanqiang sincerely toasted Zheng Hongda with a glass of wine.
Zheng Hongda had tears in his eyes with excitement, and unceremoniously drained the wine in his hand in one gulp.
Talking about culture is just a starting point, and what Lu Hanqiang really wants is to use this opportunity to get a feel for the current business trend, which is the top priority.
So Lu Hanqiang put down his wine glass, looked around at the luxurious cabin, and said with a smile: "I see, Brother Hongda, this ship of yours must cost a lot if it is newly built." ” Zheng Hongda said with a smile: "Actually, this ship did cost me a lot of money and effort, but the wood used in this ship is all fresh, so it can only run a few times to the inland sea before it is scrapped." ” Xu Jie couldn't help but be surprised: "What such a big ship, it costs a lot of money and effort, and it will be scrapped after a few trips, so why won't your old brother Zheng lose money." ” As a result, Zheng Hongda smiled easily: "Mr.
Xu, you don't know, I did spend a lot of money on this ship, not to mention that I went to the South Seas or the Western Ocean, even if I ran three or four times in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, I would return to the capital, and this ship can run ten times at most, then the other six times are for nothing, Mr.
Xu, do you think I lost or earned such a deal?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jie asked in surprise: "Haimao has such a profit" Zheng Hongda glanced at Lu Hanqiang again, and then said: "Since ancient times, the sea trade has been hugely profitable, it is definitely a gold business, which really entrusts the Hongfu of Lord Lu, a few years ago, the ban on the sea made us almost no business, and had to take risks, every time we go to sea, we have to avoid pirates, but also to avoid the official army, in fact, pirates are easy to solve, pirates just collect some tolls, and then let us go, and the official army is not, not only want our money and goods, but also confiscate our ships and capture our people, Endless extortion against our family, just a few years ago, when the sea was banned, because of this, countless families failed in business, and adults opened banks.
I used the freedom of sea trade to make a mortgage to the imperial court and put a loan, which opened the sea ban in disguise, and when Lord Lu's bank began to sell the freedom of sea trade, my family bought 10,000 shares. ” When Zheng Hongda said that his family bought 10,000 shares, Lu Hanqiang couldn't help but be surprised.
At the beginning, he mortgaged Chongzhen with the freedom of sea trade to 5 million silver, but Lu Hanqiang directly sold the freedom of sea trade for 6 million taels, according to the rules of the original sale, it was 50 taels of silver per share, and each share corresponded to the transportation volume of 10 stones, that is to say, he took out 500,000 silver from the Zheng family and obtained the transportation volume of 100,000 stone ships, and he also had to build sea ships and recruit people, which was really a big deal.
Zheng Hongda continued calmly: "After obtaining the right to free maritime trade and free passage through coastal ports, for example, my family, this time to the adult's Huludao Port to transport grain, cloth, tea, porcelain, etc., such a profit, will be doubled, and from here, I will load fur, Dongzhu, ginseng, deer antler, and this huge wood back to the south, it will be nearly double the profit, the two adults calculate, how much my profit will be."
Needless to say, it's definitely very impressive.
"And those old ships of my family, but they set sail and go straight to the countries of the South Seas, and there are two ships combined with several other major families to form a huge fleet and sail directly to the Western Ocean, so the profits will be even more considerable."
Lu Hanqiang asked: "With such a large-scale going to the sea, doesn't Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the bandits, don't care about it, and the Western red hair won't rob you?"
