Chapter 830 832 [This person is ominous]
After Wang Tianhe''s death, the Wang family''s property was also not preserved.
Before, he had offended many people because of his arrogant and domineering behavior.
??It''s just that at that time, he was the head of the imperial hospital and a popular person in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so no one dared to offend him.
?Now, his reputation has been ruined, he has lost his saintliness, he has caught cold from his fart, and his soul has returned to that life, and he can no longer protect the Wang family.
?His son is not good at studying medicine, literature, or martial arts. Now he is just a supervisor of the Imperial College. He has not even passed the exam, and naturally he has no ability to protect the Wang family.
Therefore, within half a year after Wang Tianhe''s death, the Wang family quickly fell into decline.
One is that Dr. Chen, who succeeded the hospital as the head of the hospital, went through old accounts and found out that when Wang Tianhe was the head of the hospital, he purchased inferior and counterfeit medicines at high prices, resulting in a loss of nearly one million taels of silver, thus forcing the Wang family to cough up all the money. .
?One of Wang Tianhe’s uncles and brothers took advantage of Wang Tianhe’s death to seize the Wang family’s land and robbed thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of the capital that had been bought by several generations of the Wang family.
??One is a gangster from the capital who went to Wang''s house to fight against the autumn wind. They said that Wang Tianhe forced Liu Xiaobian''er to poison him, which caused him to commit the crime, so they asked the Wang family to provide money to give him a home and treat his injuries.
?One of Wang Tianhe''s concubines took advantage of the opportunity when the whole family was busy treating him when he was critically ill, and ran away with others with a box of gold and silver jewelry.
Amidst internal and external troubles, the Wang family will naturally not be able to survive for long.
Soon, the Wang family, which was originally considered a wealthy family, suddenly collapsed and became completely lonely.
…
After Wang Tianhe died, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
?This evil man is really small-minded and has no tolerance for others. He has to be careful every day he lives. Now that he is finally dead, people feel like they can breathe easier.
?However, he also saw that society was really dark in the late Qing Dynasty.
?Wang Tianhe had just died and before his body was cold, all kinds of monsters and monsters came to the door and tried to eat up the Wang family.
It is conceivable that if one day I am unlucky, I am afraid that the Xi family will also suffer the same fate.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. In such a chaotic and disorderly society, if there is no strong force to protect us and we lack the ability to protect ourselves, then we can only be the slaves of others and the flesh of the fish.
As a result, Xiang Nan also accelerated his plans to leave.
…
?Wang Tianhe''s death, for Xiang Nan, not only killed a big enemy, but also brought him huge business opportunities.
??The Forbidden City purchases a huge amount of medicine every year, up to more than 300,000 taels.
Pharmaceutical merchants in Beijing and even across the country want to get a piece of the pie.
When Wang Tianhe was alive, he controlled the Imperial Pharmacy, covered the sky with one hand, and only purchased medicines approved by him. And if you want him to approve it, you have to bribe him.
?For example, Meng Qinghe gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. There are also precious supplements such as bird''s nest, deer antler, ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum.
??As for a sworn enemy like Xiang Nan, even if Wang Tianhe was given a gold mountain, he would not let Xiang Nan get his hands on it. Therefore, Xiang Nan has no chance to do such a big business.
But things are different now.
?After Wang Tianhe''s death, the head of the Imperial Medical College was re-appointed, and Imperial Physician Chen Guangbi successfully took over.
?His relationship with Xiang Nan is relatively harmonious, and his son Chen Sice is also studying medicine with Xiang Nan.
Coupled with the support of Prince Jing, Yixiaotang’s pills were able to be presented to the court. Such as Wuji Baifeng Pills, ShenRong Health Pills, Angong Niuhuang Pills, Anshen Bu Nao Pills, etc. In this way, Yixiaotang also became the royal medicine merchant, and its reputation and status in the capital became even higher.
??Acquiring the Forbidden City as a big customer has also greatly increased Yixiaotang’s income. A rough estimate is that he would earn three to four thousand taels a year.
Add in the medical school tuition, food is the most important thing, Yixiaotang''s daily profit, Xijia''s annual income is probably not more than fifteen thousand taels of silver.
This is naturally a very good thing for Xiang Nan.
Because he was prepared to run away as soon as the reformists changed their laws. The so-called way for a poor family to get rich is to run away, so the more money you have, the better.
…
Without Wang Tianhe making trouble, Xiang Nan''s life was going smoothly.
Teaching, seeing doctors, going shopping with Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi, going shopping, going to the palace to play chess with the prince, etc., etc., I lived a happy life.
Although the society was in turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the people were in dire straits, Xiang Nan was protected by Prince Jing and lived a relatively happy life.
"Xi Langzhong, what do you think of Tian Kui?" That day, Xiang Nan was playing chess with Prince Jing and heard him ask.
"Why, the prince wants to use him?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked with a smile.
"Yes, the reform now requires talents." Prince Jing nodded and said, "I talked with Tian Kui. He is very supportive of the reform. He has also read books such as "The Theory of Evolution" and "Theory of Heavenly Evolution" and has a deep understanding of the new learning. , he is a useful talent. What do you think of him?”
When Xiang Nan heard this, he began to think about it.
To be honest, he dislikes Tian Kui very much. That''s an ungrateful, shameless, white-eyed wolf.
Xilaile saved his life and helped him find an official position in the capital, but he changed hands and sold Xilaile, causing him to be wanted by the court; Lu Zhong also saved his life, but for a better future , Wang Tianhe was sold to Wang Tianhe.
People like him will filth the land when they die.
?Hence, he naturally did not want Prince Jing to use Tian Kui, lest he become more powerful and become rampant.
"Your Majesty, I don''t know about the affairs of the court, but since you said he is a useful talent, I believe he has some ability." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "But, he followed Lu Zhong, and Lu Zhong was sent to Ninggu Ta; he followed Wang Tianhe and his reputation was ruined. This man seemed ominous."
Not to mention people in ancient times were superstitious, even modern people would close down a company if they saw an employee go there, and would not dare to hire him.
?Tian Kui followed two lords, and both lords were unlucky, which already explains the problem.
When Prince Jing heard this, he couldn''t help but feel sad about it.
To be honest, people like him still care about these things.
…
However, after Lu Zhengming heard about it, he smiled and waved his hands, "Your Majesty, what''s so [ominous] is all due to the old man''s calendar. What happened to Lu Zhong and Wang Tianhe was because they had bad behavior and deserved it. What about Guan Tiankui?" thing.
?Your kindness, self-denial, and meritorious deeds are unparalleled by villains like Lu Zhong and Wang Tianhe. Just like the Lu horse in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they all say that Lu is the master, but it''s not clear who rides it. If it were Liu Bei, wouldn''t his horse leap over Tanxi and save his life?
?Now that the reform is imminent and talents are urgently needed, how can the prince waste talents based on such nonsense rumors? "
??Prince Jing already had a soft-eared problem. After hearing what Lu Zhengming said, he immediately changed his mind and re-employed Tian Kui. Let him be promoted to the position of censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responsible for public security management, hearing lawsuits, arresting thieves, etc., which is equivalent to the director of the Yanjing City Public Security Bureau. It can be said that although his official position is small, he has great power.
After Xiang Nan heard about this, he had no choice but to say nothing.
