The British Gong Zhang Lun followed step by step and went down the West Mountain. By the end, both of his legs were limp, not much better than noodles.

"Hold me up, don't let our family be ashamed." The son Zhang Rong nodded vigorously, put his arm against his father, and the father and son clasped their hands tightly, and finally got into the carriage and returned home.

This trip to the West Mountain, although it did not fall into the valley and did not lose its old life, the warning meaning was too strong.

"Son, don't you say that those masters and monks usually have their mouths like rivers and their tongues bloom with lotus flowers? They also know how to tell fortunes, and they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, you say, why didn't they calculate that they would have this step today? ”

Zhang Rong grinned bitterly, "Dad, it seems that these monks are all liars, and their arms can't twist their thighs!" No matter how high the Dharma is, it can't stop the royal Dharma! ”

Buddhism is invincible to the king's law!

Zhang Lun nodded and smiled meaningfully, "My son can see it more thoroughly than his father, and our family will not collapse with you." I'm afraid I can't hold it up for my father. ”

Zhang Rong hurriedly said: "Dad, you have to cheer up, our family still has to rely on you to support you!" ”

Zhang Lun shook his head, "Don't say it, I still know how much your father has ability." If you want to talk about leading soldiers, I have a little experience, but I can't do business. You are more sleek and shrewd than me, and our family will depend on you for the future. ”

Zhang Rong didn't say anything more about prevarication, frankly speaking, Zhang Lun is indeed old, and he can't even lead troops to fight. Not to mention adapting to the changes in front of you.

But if you want to say that business relies on tactfulness and shrewdness, Zhang Rong doesn't see it that way.

Take this trip to Xishan as an example, he really opened his eyes.

Thousands of monks were all arranged to mine in the West Mountain.

In the cold winter, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. The frozen soil on the surface needs to be smashed open before construction can be carried out.

Those monks used iron chisels, with sharp shovels, digging desperately, their fingers were grinded, and the tiger's mouth shook open...... To put it mildly, every piece of charcoal is accompanied by blood and sweat.

When you arrive at the mine, there are only two kinds of people, either the mine owner or the miner. To put it bluntly, miners are not even as good as cattle and horses, and what they say about cherishing the people is simply false.

If you want to make money, you have to be unscrupulous, you have to be ruthless enough, your hands are black enough, you have to learn to squeeze, and you have to squeeze several times more ruthlessly than before.

Zhang Rong can't wait to show his skills.

He got his father's permission, and immediately turned out the inventory of the family's land and property, not to mention, looking at the mountains of inventory, Zhang Rong's scalp was numb.

The accumulation from generation to generation is really appalling.

All these fields are to be handed over...... If you don't break it, don't stand it, don't take this step, how can the Zhang family take advantage of this round of wealth increase?

"Someone!" Zhang Rong shouted angrily, "All of them will be sent to Wanping County Ya and tell Wang Xianzun that our Zhang family is ...... Accept Qingzhang! ”

As soon as these words came out, the family members in the courtyard, wow, all cried.

Finished!

It's completely finished!

These people have followed the Zhang family for many years, relying on the support of the Guogong Mansion, who has no land, and who has no industry? Now that the young prince has promised to clear the father, what else can they do?

"Young master, you can't! The field is the foundation of a family, and the roots can't be broken! ”

The old servant fell to his knees and wept aloud.

Zhang Rong gritted his teeth, "Bullshit! It's people at the root of this family! It's a person who can live! You can not agree, but don't rely on the reputation of the British government to fight against the imperial court. One day, you will be sent to Xishan to work as miners, and you will know what life is better than death! ”

Zhang Rong ignored the crying of his family, surrendered decisively, and chose to accept Qingzhang.

In fact, although Zhang Rong's speed is fast enough, after all, he can't play Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo, as a master who relies on betting in exchange for the position of Guogong, Xu Guangzuo perfectly inherited the anger of his ancestors.

He sent Wang Yue two account books, one for their family, and the other for his speculation about the other families, anyway, they are all generations, who has many family backgrounds, and can't hide from the other party.

Xu Guangzuo is still talking to his son Xu Yande!

"Alas, our family, the industry on the Yingtian side has been encroached upon by the big house, and we haven't left it at all, Shuntian here, we can't do those two families, they just rely on the favor of Emperor Taizong, they feel that they are the heroes of Jingnan, and they are the head snakes of the capital, what good things have been done over the years, they don't let go, and the appearance is called an ugly!"

"Good! It's good now! The big guy handed over the acres and started over...... Boy, you give me good intentions, magnify our Xu family, and make our family the head of the three major princes...... Especially to outshine the big house of Yingtian, understand? ”

Xu Yande nodded hurriedly, "Daddy, don't worry, the child has already found a way to tie up Wang Yue, slap the horse, say that he likes to listen, and serve him well......"

When Xu Guangzuo heard this, he was so angry that he smacked him.

Xu Yande was frightened, "Dad, do you think the child doesn't speak well?" ”

"I think you're stupid!" Xu Guangzuo said unceremoniously: "Where is your brain?" Wang Yue has power, but there are so many people around him, can you tie it up? It's stupid! ”

Xu Yande was stunned, "Dad, then, what should the child do?" ”

The corners of Xu Guangzuo's mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile.

"Say that you kid is too tender, you are still not convinced, what you should be looking for now is Cui Shilin."

"Cui Shilin?" Xu Yande's eyes widened, "Why?" What a stupid boy that kid is! With him, the child is afraid of becoming stupid. ”

"Phew! You're not smart right now! Xu Guangzuo said: "I couldn't figure it out in the past, but now I'm convinced, Princess Yongkang and Cui Yuan are the real masters." I bet so early, and I haven't moved yet, and no one can see it. This ability is really impressive! ”

Xu Guangzuo took his son's hand, "You listen to your father, Cui Shilin is Wang Yue's apprentice, no matter what, if you tie up with Cui Shilin, you hook up with Wang Yue, you have to show your ability to serve your father to please him, understand?" ”

Xu Yande thought about it seriously, nodded vigorously and said, "Got it...... Godfather! ”

……

Turning the sky, Xu Yande ran to see Cui Shilin with two dark blue eyes. found that Cui Shilin was sighing, holding a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and gritting his teeth.

"Have you ever thought about having an endless amount of money to spend?"

Xu Yande blinked his eyes, it hurt.

"Brother, who doesn't want to!"

Cui Shilin was even more distressed, "I don't want to...... Because I don't understand how much money my mother has now! ”

Xu Yande was about to vomit blood.

You're so badly beaten!

Wang Yue is also blind, why accept you as a fool, I'm not afraid of a lot of money, I can count it!

Although Xu Yande looked contemptuous, he still had to obediently follow Cui Shilin to count all kinds of accounts and experience the pain of the rich.

Compared with Xishan's small account, there is a bigger account, which is calculated by Zhu Houxi and Wang Yue themselves.

"Three hundred thousand, three hundred and fifty thousand...... Three hundred and eighty thousand! ”

"Emperor! There are more than 380,000 households! ”

Huang Jin jumped up excitedly, hurriedly ran to Zhu Houxi, and put a list in front of the emperor.

Zhu Houxi looked at this list, his narrow eyes widened instantly, and after ecstasy, he was furious!

He also had a list of households at hand.

This list was compiled in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, when the household registration in Beiping was more than 330,000, including eight prefectures and 37 prefectures, which does not seem to be much, but the problem is that it was before the Jingjing!

After Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, the entire Shuntian people and soldiers were rising rapidly, and there were millions of people in the capital alone.

This is a well-known thing.

What makes people speechless is that there are currently less than 300,000 registered accounts in Suncheon.

If you just look at these, you can even draw the absurd conclusion that the capital is ten rooms and nine empty.

"With these nobles alone, they have hidden more than 380,000 households, with a population of more than one million, and there are more tenants under them than I have!"

Zhu Houxi roared loudly, and the green tendons on his forehead tensed again.

What can Wang Yue say...... This is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, Shuntian is a place where nobles, eunuchs, and local heroes each occupy a share, leaving less than thirty percent of the court, which is a well-known thing.

Just when Zhu Houxi was furious, Lu Bing suddenly hurried over.

"Your Majesty, Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu is unwilling to hand over the acres of land, and he also asked for the Danshu iron coupon, saying that His Majesty must let him hand over the acres of fields, and he will only die!" Lu Bing said helplessly: "Jinyiwei doesn't dare to go in!" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled angrily, "Sacrifice your life and not your wealth!" It really made me see! Wang Yue, what do you say I should do? ”
