Chapter 376 Qiao's Takeoff
When the Ming court was destroyed, Qiao Rong was probably the happiest person among the intellectuals of the old era. The reason was that his two daughters were married to the Grand Governor of the People's Army. The Grand Governor will soon become emperor, and his two daughters will also become concubines. The Qiao family will become one of the top powerful people in this country, and there is no need to worry about being suspicious of the emperor.
Thinking about Qiao Rong was still worried about the marriage of her two daughters. The People's Army came and searched most of the gentry and merchants in Guangzhou. Qiao Rong was glad that her family had nothing to do, and was also glad that her two daughters had not been married. If she married the houses of those gentry and merchants who were searched, her two daughters would also be in trouble.
At that time, Qiao Rong was always looking forward to the Ming court to fight back soon, destroy the People's Army, and restore the normal state of Guangzhou City, but he did not expect that his two daughters would get to know the Grand Governor of the People's Army. Before Qiao Rong discovered it, the Grand Governor asked someone to come to propose marriage.
Faced with the team of proposing marriage, Qiao Rong was panicked. At that time, the People's Army was relatively weak in Qiao Rong's eyes, and might be wiped out by the Ming army. If two daughters marry the Grand Governor and wait for the Ming army to fight, the Qiao family, which has close ties with the People's Army, would definitely be doomed.
Qiao Rong really wanted to refuse directly, but the Qiao family was in Guangzhou City, and Guangzhou City and the entire Guangdong were the territory of the People's Army. I felt that I was rejecting the General of the People's Army. The Qiao family was seeking death.
In anger, Qiao Rong had to agree. As his two daughters married the general of the People's Army, the thoughts in Qiao Rong's mind began to change. From the Ming army's extermination of the People's Army to the People's Army occupying land as kings, watching the People's Army defeat the Ming army again and again, from one province to five provinces, to the destruction of the Ming court's upcoming rule of China, Qiao Rong finally felt relieved.
There is no need to worry about the destruction of the People's Army, nor does it need to worry about the destruction of the Qiao family with the People's Army.
After resting, I was filled with excitement. The People's Army actually destroyed the Ming Dynasty. The People's Army was about to become the new ruler of China. The People's Army's Grand Governor wanted to be the emperor. His two daughters wanted to become the concubines. The Qiao family wanted to become the top powerful people in this country.
A country has a country first and then a home. In the war-torn era, a "country" is even more important. Only a powerful "country" can protect tens of millions of "houses".
However, after the "country" is stable, the status of "home" in most people's hearts begins to improve, and eventually surpasses that of "country".
Yes, in Qiao Rong and most people's hearts, the family is more important, marrying wives and having children, scattering branches and leaves, developing family business, making the family stronger, and inheriting for thousands of years without enduring.
Before, when the People's Army had only one province, the Qiao family was considered a top-level powerful person in the People's Army-ruled region. Except for some merchants who wanted to establish good relations with the Qiao family and do better business in the People's Army-ruled region, others didn't care about the Qiao family at all, because the People's Army was still relatively weak at this time. On the surface, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty was ten times that of the People's Army.
From one province to five provinces, more and more people believe that the People's Army will replace the Ming Dynasty to rule the land of China, and more people have tried every means to get along with the Qiao family. The most obvious point is that Qiao Rong's calligraphy has soared, and merchants have continuously increased the purchase price. As long as it can be passed on to Qiao Rong's ears, the money will be very worthwhile.
The Qiao family is a scholarly family. Originally, it was a merchant who did not like the smell of money, and did not allow the Qiao family's children to do business. However, the People's Army values agriculture and business. The status of merchants who cannot get along with officials in the People's Army ruling areas has been improved to a certain extent. This status mainly comes from money.
He is rich and speaks tough.
The Qiao family is not short of money, but it cannot compare with the wealth owned by top businessmen. If the family wants to grow, money must be lacking.
In the past, it was enough to develop step by step. At that time, the Qiao family grew slowly, and there was no need for too much wealth to support the development of the Qiao family. It was enough to accumulate wealth from generation to generation.
But now it is different. The two daughters marry the Grand Governor, the People's Army is about to unify the world, and the Qiao family is also on the fast track of development, and the role of money is highlighted.
Moreover, in the past, you could use money to buy land. Land was the foundation of a family. You could make money by relying on land. However, landlords were not allowed to appear under the rule of the People's Army. Land was not allowed to be bought or sold at will. The only place where money could make money was left was doing business.
It just so happened that Qiao Rong's third son Qiao Yi was willing to try business. He also found out some news from his two daughters. Qiao Rong agreed to Qiao Yi's business and gave him some funds to develop. In just a few years, the Qiao Chamber of Commerce quickly grew. It was not because of how talented Qiao Yi was in business, but because other merchants wanted to establish a relationship with the Qiao family and take the Qiao Chamber of Commerce to make money together.
It is okay to make money, and you must not violate the laws of the People's Army. Qiao Rong reminded Qiao Yi more than once that as for other merchants who take the Qiao family to make money, it is enough to reveal a little unimportant information. Of course, the Qiao family cannot get important information. Even if it is not important to the People's Army, it is also very important for merchants who cannot establish relationships with officials.
When a few grandsons get older, Qiao Rong will ask them to study in schools established by the People's Army, enter the People's Army system, become officials in the People's Army government, or join the army.
Qiao Rong never thought about asking for two daughters to help her. It would be bad if she accidentally disliked the Grand Superintendent. The Qiao family can go as far as the People's Army system with their own abilities. The Qiao family is a scholarly family, and Qiao Rong is confident that the Qiao family's children are no worse than others.
However, Qiao Rong still has one trouble left, that is, the Grand Governor has no offspring yet. If his two daughters gave birth to a son for the Grand Governor, the status of the Qiao family might not have changed for hundreds of years.
The Grand Governor married four wives, but he had no descendants for such a long time. Earlier, the elders from Qingshan Village would say a few words, and even asked the doctor to see them, but no one has ever said anything.
The Grand Governor will be twenty-eight years old this year, and he is already a middle-aged man at the age of twenty-eight. But those who are familiar with the Grand Governor can feel that except for two extra beards, the Grand Governor's appearance seems to have not changed for several years, and he is still so young, and the same goes for the Fang Hu family.
This made some people have different thoughts in their minds. Words like "The Grand Governor is an immortal descending to earth" have never been stopped in the People's Army ruling areas. Lenovo's People's Army will be in power for more than seven years. When it comes to the Grand Governor's appearance, Qiao Rong no longer dares to continue thinking about it.
Thinking that the People's Army is about to be unified and the Qiao family continues to grow, Qiao Rong feels that his body is a little younger, and he has a smile on his face every day, and he is kind to everyone who sees him, which surprised everyone who is familiar with Qiao Rong.
