Although Ye Shen became a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ye family was still very low-key.

Apart from the villages and wineries in the southern suburbs, there is also one Yejiazhuang, and there is not even a shop in the city.

The Ye family has no shops, but it is not just openly, but really nothing like other officials.

Even His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, and even talked with Ye Shen about this matter once.

When he learned that this was Mr. Ye’s insistence, His Majesty the Emperor sighed: “My grandpa is amazing!”

The Great Tiger Kingdom does not light business, nor does it prohibit businessmen from participating in the imperial examinations. However, there are still some clear regulations on the business of officials. The most clear one is that "officials and their spouses and children are not allowed to do business."

After all, officials are in high positions. If officials in the world are allowed to take the generous salary from the court and use the power at hand to compete with the people for profit, ordinary people will not be their opponents!

The ultimate consequence is that the people are exploited for a long time and fall into poverty, expanding the gap between the rich and the poor that originally existed. The rich are extravagant and the poor are anxious and worried.

People who have no way of living will eventually take risks in breaking the law or rising up and causing chaos in the Che family.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures at the top and countermeasures at the bottom since ancient times.

The so-called "officials and their spouses and children are not allowed to do business" is not known when it was divided into three or six or six grades.

It is an iron rule for officials not to do business, but spouses and children gradually evolve.

First of all, it is not prohibited from running a dowry shop for officials. Secondly, children who do not take office can do business.

Officials are also human beings. They have to raise children, daughters, and parents to raise. Some officials have a large number of tribe members who need to support them.

Although the salary given to officials by the State of Dayu is still acceptable, it is just a good one. If you really want to live a life, that salary is indeed not enough. It is better to let the officials' families do some business than to ask for bribes in order to live a good life.

Therefore, emperors of all dynasties could only turn a blind eye, as long as they did not do too much, they could not see the bento.

Of course, the disadvantages of doing this are, and it really arouses public anger. When it is time to raise the knife, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally not be merciful.

Nowadays, many officials in the Dayu Kingdom hand over their family business to their children who are not in office, and of course some also put their shop business under the name of the family slaves and handed over it to the family slaves. This is a very common phenomenon that is well known from top to bottom.

For example, Zhennan Hou Mansion, all the business under his name was jointly managed by Lin Wenqing, a concubine and Lin Hongxuan, who did not go on the official career.

Strictly speaking, the Ye family has business.

For example, wineries, water supply facilities.

However, these businesses are not considered business in the eyes of the world. In this era, the so-called business must have a fixed shop and a turnover for buying and selling.

A winery is a manufacturing shop, so it is naturally not a business in the eyes of the world.

As for water supply facilities, they are still included in the example of craftsmen.

Of course, strictly speaking, since Lin Wan married into the Ye family, the Ye family had a shop.

However, because it was Lin Wan's dowry shop, the dowry belonged to the private property of women in this era, so it was naturally not included in the Ye family's industry.

However, Lin Wan knew that Dad Ye was thinking and respected Dad Ye from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, since she entered the Ye family, she had in-depth communication with Dad Ye.

Lin Wan brought all the shops of Ye’s family and left them to others to manage them. Lin Wan only made decisions behind the scenes.

Fortunately, Lin Wan still has some available human resources, such as Qi Jun and Chuncao, and Dongyue.

After Lin Wan returned to the capital, she integrated the dowry shop under her name.

Now Lin Wan’s business includes inns, wine shops, Shuxiu Jinxiu Shop, and a grocery store that specializes in north and south goods.

The terrain of the shop is good and bad, but the business is not bad.

When Ye Shen returned to Beijing, he brought Qi Jun's family back. Miss Yun from the past was also called Lin Jiusao.

That's right, Miss Yun married Lin Jiu.

After Qi Jun returned to the capital, he planned to go back to the southern suburbs to continue to be his orchard winery manager, but Ye Shen stayed in the city.

Qi Jun followed Ye Shen to Sichuan for a full six years. Now that he is putting him as the supervisor of an orchard winery is a waste of money.

Ye Shen and Lin Wan discussed arrangements for Qi Jun's family.

If Qi Jun wants to develop on his own, Ye Shen and Lin Wan both expressed their pleasure in seeing it happen, and would even try their best to help him.

If Qi Jun plans to continue to follow them, he will naturally have to make full use of his talents and use them in the most appropriate places to allow him to exert his maximum energy.

As a result, after Qi Jun returned to the capital, he proposed to Mr. Ye to return to the orchard in the southern suburbs to continue to be his manager, which made Ye Shen and Lin Wan a little amused.

"Brother Jun, I've entrusted you all the things outside the Ye family!" Ye Shen pulled Qi Jun and talked in the study for a whole hour, and finally patted Qi Jun on the shoulder heavily and said.

Qi Jun looked at the contract he had just signed and nodded heavily: "If I can use it so much, I, Qi Jun, will definitely go through fire and water."

Lin Wan happened to bring in the freshly prepared refreshment. When she heard Qi Jun's words, she couldn't help but look at Ye Shen, and smiled and joked: "Husband, you can't really let Brother Jun go through fire and water. If the little fat man knows, he will still be nagging for a long time! I'm afraid of that little fat man, and that little mouth is so sensible!"

When talking about the fat man, Qi Jun was really embarrassed. He didn't know who the child looked like. He loved to debate with others. If he asked him to hold on, he would insist on saying that he would nod and give up.

Since the Ye family entered Beijing, Jin Wang was the eldest steward of the Ye family, and Qi Zhenxing took action on Jin Wang, which is the so-called second steward.

Since the serious injury and illness two years ago, Mr. Ye has handed over the position of the head of the family to Ye Damin.

Jin Wang also took this opportunity to hand over the position of housekeeper to Qi Zhenxing, and focused on serving Dad Ye.

Qi Zhenxing studied with Jin Wang for so many years. If the Ye family has always been just an ordinary official family, it would be enough to have Qi Zhenxing as a housekeeper.

However, Ye Shen was getting more and more smoothly in the officialdom, the Ye family became more and more prosperous, and more industries were being purchased, so Qi Zhenxing seemed a little difficult.

Qi Jun and Ye Shen are childhood friends and have masters and apprentices with Ye Dad, so they became the best candidates to take charge of the Ye family's industry.

Of course, Ye Shen would not treat Qi Jun badly.

In addition to the generous monthly salary, there is also a commission every year. As long as there is no mistake, Qi Jun's annual income is no worse than that of ordinary businessmen.

Of course, what Qi Jun values ​​more is not money, but the arrangements made by the Ye family for Qi's family.

Chuncao was still entrusted by Lin Wan and hosted Jinxiufang with Lin Jiu's sister-in-law.

Today's Jinxiu Store is not just a shop selling goods, but a large workshop integrating weaving and embroidery.

The little fat dun entered the Ye family's home school and studied with the inkstone.

With Ye Shen's help, Qi'an, his wife and youngest son Qi You also settled a house in the capital as he wished, so Qi You would no longer need to go back to Qingzhou Prefecture to participate in the imperial examination.

Of course, Qi Jun will have a relatively hard time and spend less time with his wife and children.

However, people in this era have a high degree of acceptance of the fact that couples cannot stay together, and no one has raised any objections to this.
