Chapter 124: Future Accountant Liu Chenghan

What could Yang Wenyuan say? He could only respond:
"Yes, uncle, I was even worse than Brother Han before, am I not any better now?"

Although there are four classes of people: scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, Yang Wenyuan's soul came from later generations, and he did not have the discrimination against merchants that Liu Qing and others had.

Moreover, although "farmers" and "workers" have always been ranked ahead of "merchants", at the same level, the status of merchants is actually higher than that of farmers and craftsmen.

Only nobles and scholars of high rank look down upon businessmen.

They believe that businessmen are mud that they can easily control and parasites of the country who compete with the people for profits.

Although when facing someone of high status who is also an elder, the best way to flatter others is always to belittle your own children while praising other people's children.

But given the relationship between the Yang and Liu families, Liu Qing's words seemed to be too disrespectful to his son Liu Chenghan's reputation.

So ruthless in public.

Although Liu Qing is dull and incompetent, he is a scholar who can pass the imperial examination and is not a fool who knows nothing.

Even though his family's status was gradually declining, from that of a Jinshi to that of a Juren, he saw his son giving up literature and pursuing a career in business, a path that was even worse than that of a family of farmers and scholars.

But such a long time has passed, the evil in Liu Qing's heart must have almost dissipated.

Why would you have to have a fit in front of everyone?
Taking the opportunity to vent dissatisfaction with the topic raised by Yang Yuqing?
Given the way Liu Qing was trying to please Yang Yuqing, it was simply impossible.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Yang Wenyuan took in everything about the person in front of him.

Liu Chenghan looked embarrassed, Liu Qing was complaining to Yang Yuqing, and Wu pretended to observe the surroundings casually.

Not only was he complaining about Liu Chenghan's failure to achieve anything, he was probably also using this opportunity to reveal his desire for the Yang family's help.

However, Liu Qing was not like his father. Liu Qing was not in a hurry for his official career and did not want to ask for help from others. It was his father who could not stand it anymore, so he asked the Yang family for help.

So even though Liu Qing had been wandering around Pingjiang Prefecture for so many years, he never asked the Yang family for help, but went his own way.

This time, it was precisely because of Yang Wenyuan's wedding and his own son's "unemployed" behavior that Liu Qing decided to risk his reputation and come to the Yang family to find a job for his son.

Liu Chenghan did not have the title of Juren, so he didn't have to think too much about an official position.

Liu Qing only wanted his son to take advantage of the big tree of the Yang family and lay a foundation for his unborn grandson.

Since their son was a failure, the Liu family could only pin their hopes on the grandson they had never met.

He had everything planned out when he set out. After meeting Yang Wenyuan in Bian Jing, he asked Liu Chenghan to help prepare some things for the wedding under the name of marriage. After all, Liu Chenghan had been doing very well in business over the years, so Liu Qing was very confident.

It would be a matter of course to ask for mercy later.

But after arriving in Bian Jing, he did not see Yang Wenyuan, but instead saw Mrs. Chen, who was neither cold nor enthusiastic.

After having experienced the "pressure from the aura of a noble family", and then seeing that Yang Wenyuan's marriage was all arranged by Madam Chen, Liu Qing immediately began to hesitate.

It may be difficult to ask directly.

That's why he was making indirect remarks under the influence of alcohol.

If the Yang family is interested in supporting him, they will naturally pick up on his words.

If it's unintentional, it won't hurt the relationship.

"Alas, although Chenghan is not very ambitious, if he is allowed to continue to hang around in Pingjiang Prefecture, I am afraid that he will become a waste after a long time."

Liu Qing's exaggerated remarks are of course the most classic rhetoric when asking for help from others, "self-deprecation".

As soon as these words were spoken, the real purpose was revealed. Yang Wenyuan immediately understood Liu Qing's intention.

Yang Yuqing and Mrs. Chen are both experienced people with many years of experience, so they naturally understand the hidden meaning.

However, Liu Qing is Yang Wenyuan's uncle, and Liu Chenghan, who was asking for help, is Yang Wenyuan's cousin. Therefore, the couple felt that whether to do this or not should be decided by Yang Wenyuan himself, so they turned to look at Yang Wenyuan.

Yang Ruijin was the only one present who was still confused.

She was quietly looking at the pink little face of the little girl Liu Chan. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she carefully stretched out her white index finger and touched Chan'er's fair cheek.

The tender baby fat first sank, and then quickly returned to its original shape as Yang Ruijin's fingers left.

! !
Q bomb!
Yang Ruijin seemed to have encountered something fun, and she kept tapping Chan'er's face with her fingers without getting tired of it.

Whenever Xiaochaner showed signs of dissatisfaction, Yang Ruijin would quickly feed her a small piece of cake, successfully appeasing her and getting her back to her passionate eating career.

Kids are so fun!

Yang Wenyuan was sitting at the table at this time.

He saw that everyone's eyes were unconsciously focused on him.

So he nodded slightly.

"Brother, since you are not used to staying in Pingjiang Prefecture, why don't you try coming to Bianjing? Changing to a different place may bring you a completely different world."

Yang Wenyuan is about to inherit the title of Marquis, so he must have his own new team. This should be what Liu Qing is thinking.

Given the close relationship between Liu Chenghan and Yang Wenyuan.

As long as Yang Wenyuan nodded, Liu Chenghan would have a good life in the future as long as he was not too unworthy.

Yang Wenyuan also has his own considerations.

Although there are many old stewards in charge of accounting in the Marquis' Mansion, those accounting methods have their merits in Yang Wenyuan's eyes, but the general direction is still far less understood by Yang Wenyuan himself.

Not only is it slow, it is also labor-intensive.

The gunpowder workshop invested by Yang Wenyuan required collecting raw materials and personnel from various places, and the engineering workload was even more complicated.

As a marquis, Yang Wenyuan naturally could not do the accounting work at home every day, so he urgently needed an accountant who understood modern accounting methods.

At this critical juncture, Liu Chenghan, a man obsessed with business, came to the door, and there was no reason for Yang Wenyuan to refuse him.

Liu Chenghan is still young and his tolerance is much higher than those old stewards who have stayed in the mansion for countless generations. He is in good health and easy to train.

However, just like Yang Wenyuan's plan to recruit Wang Ye as his subordinate, although they are close, he cannot act too hastily.

You must first refine your temper and look at your character.

If you are not loyal, no matter how close the relationship is or how good the talent is, it will be useless to Yang Wenyuan.

As soon as Yang Wenyuan said this, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.

Liu Qing immediately accepted the offer on behalf of Liu Chenghan and was about to pull Liu Chenghan up to toast him, but was immediately stopped by Yang Wenyuan and Yang Yuqing.

Yang Yuqing picked up the cup and said:

"We are all family, so let's not talk nonsense. Since Han is going to work in Beijing, and Wenyuan's marriage is coming soon, why don't you come to our house to help out? This will also save your aunt from complaining to me every day about not having enough manpower."
