- Preface to The Book of Stones
In the story of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Wang Xifeng needed to stay in bed for recuperation because of her small birth, so Madame Wang ordered her eldest daughter-in-law Li Feng and the third girl to explore the spring to take care of housework.
The official heard that Li Yi was a great bodhisattva, and no matter what happened, the task of the Li family fell to Min Tanchun, and the first big thing the three girls did was to attack the comprador.
It turned out that in addition to the pocket money of two or two silver per month for the girls in the Grand View Garden, Jia Fu also had to pay two or two silver head grease powder money for each of them every month, Jia Tanchun thought that this matter was the same as the eight or two silver in the school, it looked inappropriate, so he asked Ping'er what was going on?
The official heard that the reason why Jia Tanchun asked this question was that the two sums of money overlapped and overlapped and were repeated, that is to say, she thought that the two or two pieces of silver she received every month were head grease powder money.
Ping'er said that this was because Jia Fu had always been rich in raising girls, and the old lady and the wife were worried that these daughters would accidentally ask for a few dollars at a moment's notice, and that they would have trouble finding the grandmother and wife in charge of the house, and they were afraid that the girls would be wronged and intended to make the girls richer.
In other words, the two or two silvers that Jia Tanchun's sisters earn every month are prepared for their extra expenses, not head grease powder money, just like Jia Tanchun likes gadgets outside, and often saves money for Jia Baoyu to bring some back to her.
So why is there two or two silver heads per month for fat powder? If the ladies of each room take money every day to find someone to buy head oil and fat powder, so this money is taken by the outside comprador general.
So, why would Jia Tanchun mistakenly think that the monthly silver he received every month was the silver of the case of buying a head of grease powder? Because they usually do not use the head grease powder of the outside compradors, but take extra money to buy these things themselves, or make them themselves.
Ping'er speculated that it might be because the comprador was empty, the delivery was late, or the purchase was not a serious goods, and some unavoidable things were prevaricated.
Tanchun Li Feng also said that the head grease powder bought by these people is just a name, in fact, it is impossible to make it, and they still have to buy it now. If the people in the bureaucracy are still the same, why is this so? Ping'er gave the answer!
Ping'er smiled: "The comprador bought like that, he bought the good ones, the compradors were willing to make good friends with him, and said that he made a bad heart to take away the compradors." So they had to do the same, preferring to offend the inside rather than offend the people who were doing things outside. The girls can only make the mothers, and they dare not gossip. ”
TanChun listened, and directly ordered the comprador's monthly cockle, because the comprador had some relations with himself, shoddy, occupied the pit and did not, and bought things that were high-priced and could not be used, which was a waste of money.
In the story of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the Xue family, the imperial merchants who are also registered as merchants in the household department, and the Xia family, are actually comprador people, do you see what kind of business the Xue family in the author's pen does?
It is said that the Xue Gongzi who bought Yinglian to kill Feng Yuan was also from the Jinling clan, and was originally the home of Shuxiang Succession. It is only now that this Xue Gongzi lost his father at an early age, and the widowed mother pitied him as a single-rooted and lonely breeder, so he was spoiled and indulged, so he became an old man and did not succeed, and there were millions of rich people in the family, and now he was receiving money and grain from within and purchasing miscellaneous materials.
In a word, the same is to receive silver to procure goods, but they have a hard relationship, do not learn no skills, shoddy, full of private pockets, these people are very bad, Jia Fu was comprador pit, the royal family was xue family and Xia family pit, these people monopolized the supply channels, but did not do things, it is really a big moth.
