Risks and benefits are directly proportional, so the safest way to do business is to spread the risks and benefits.

Cao Wei can only cooperate with Xu Pengju in the business of drunken immortal brewing, because the Xu family's face in Nanjing is big enough to shelter two boats of wine, but what if it is twenty boats of wine in the future? Will there be forces that have their minds on the drunken immortals and do not hesitate to take risks......

Therefore, tying the children of several noble families to this chariot early reduced the risk that individuals had to bear a lot. After all, no force dares to offend so many nobles at the same time.

According to Cao Wei's knowledge, before the Tumubao Change, the nobles were in charge of the army, they were a special group, they were the ones who bullied men and women, and they were the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty, because without the Ming Dynasty, they and their descendants would have no wealth. So even though there were many officials in the court who participated in them, the emperor never made a ruthless move, after all, they were the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.

The unscrupulous nobles always hang the civil officials and beat them, the civil officials are reasonable, and they talk about fists.

However, from the fourteenth year of the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to the change of Tumubao, the nobles withered......

In the year of Gengshen, Xining Marquis Song Ying, Wujin Bo Mian and Wara fought in Yanghe and were defeated. In that year, the Wara army was so large, Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong, the governor Wu Keqin did not fight, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong, Yongshun Boxue Shou rescued him, and met an ambush at Harrier Ridge, and the whole army was wiped out.

In the year of Renxu, the Ming army was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of people died. British Gong Zhang Fu, Fengning Hou Chen Ying, Horse Duwei and Yuan, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Sui An Bo Chen Xun, Xiuwu Bo Shen Rong, Governors Liang Cheng and Wang Gui, Shangshu Wang Zuo and Kuang Ye, bachelors Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, Shilang Ding Xuan, Wang Yonghe, Deputy Capital Yushi Deng Di, etc., all died.

Since then, the Xungui Group has been weak and has begun to lie dormant in Nanjing City, but no one dares to underestimate them. Don't look at these noble sons and daughters who are now fighting cocks and walking dogs and have nothing to do, but the future Nanjing City will be theirs sooner or later......

Doing business abroad under the banner of the family can't bypass the elders in the family no matter what, and none of the children of the noble family have a good relationship with, they have to think about the family when they deal with people, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, other things will be consulted with the elders in the family, lest they don't know when the family will be wiped out.

This has nothing to do with the friendship and trust between friends, there are too many family members to take the slightest risk.

Those who can live in the noble circle for decades are all old foxes who have cultivated for many years, and they can think far-reaching about everything, and they chose to support without hesitation after hearing what their juniors said, and they naturally did not take it seriously by more than a thousand taels of silver per month, but this was a rare opportunity to consolidate the relationship with Grandpa Xu.

When the righteousness of friends and interests are intertwined, the relationship between the two can be more stable.

…………

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Wei Guogong Xu Li squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Pengju standing in front of him, and saw that Xu Xiaogong's scalp was numb, don't look at Xu Pengju's arrogant and cold appearance outside, and he didn't even dare to fart in front of Xu Guogong.

Old man Xu's education method for many years is to beat, if you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten until you are served. So Xu Pengju has been beaten countless times since he was a child, at the beginning Xu Pengju didn't know how to hide, and was almost killed by the old man who felt the punch, and then Xu Pengju learned smart, and ran every time he hit, and now he can't even catch up with the dog......

Facing the eyes of the old man Xu, Xu Pengju felt that the situation was wrong, and was about to use the method of urinating and escaping, when the old man said slowly: "Pengju, do you know Cao Wei?" ”

Xu Pengju was alarmed in his heart, and his father used to talk to him in declarative sentences and rhetorical questions, such as: "Are you dead?" Or, "You're dead!" "What the hell is a serious question that suddenly came this time?

Could it be that there is a deception in it......

"Cowardice! Grinding and grinding, don't you think the old man is not strong? Old man Xu's eyes widened, and Xu Pengju trembled in fright, and hurriedly said: "Cao Wei is a ...... of a hundred households."

"A hundred farts!" Old Master Xu's eyes widened, and then he sighed slightly: "If you have a family that is half as good, and the old man can rest assured that this family will be handed over to you, how can I, Xu Li, have such a ......?"

"You didn't treat me as a son when you started...... Yes! Daddy, stop ......"

A thumb-thick wooden stick was grabbed by the old man in his hand, the old man's beard was all open, the tiger's eyes widened, and a wooden stick swung down, falling on Xu Peng's arm, making a crisp sound of "pop".

Xu Pengju screamed in pain, pulled out his feet and ran outside the study, but found that the door was locked at some point, and he suddenly despaired: When did this old man learn tactics......

"Cowardice, you run! Isn't it fast? Old man Xu smiled fiercely. While holding a long stick, he slowly walked towards Xu Peng.

Grandpa Xu didn't speak, squatting, holding his head, exposing his back, very experienced in being beaten.

…………

After half a pillar of incense, Old Man Xu sat on the chair in good spirits, and the wooden stick in his hand disappeared at some point. Xu Peng raised his hands and clasped them tightly in front of his chest, his face was decadent, just like a little daughter-in-law who had just been ruined.

"Cao Wei is ......" Old Master Xu squinted his eyes, his expression was serious, his fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it, and only said after a while: "Not bad..."

Xu Pengju looked at Old Man Xu in shock, he had never heard his father speak so highly of a young man, he heard that the university scholar Li Dongyang studied in Nanjing when he was young, and his father's evaluation of him was good, although he and Cao Wei were friends, how could he ......

"The person I sent to investigate Cao Wei in the mansion has returned......"

"You're investigating my friend?"

The old man said angrily: "A Qin Yangbo suddenly appeared next to my son, do you think the old man should check it?" ”

"Uncle Qin Yang?!" Xu Pengju said in disbelief: "Cao Wei is Qin Yangbo? The Qin Yangbo who cured the Yangzhou epidemic? ”

For a long time, Xu Pengju thought that it was just the same name and surname. Old Master Xu exhaled and said, "Cao Wei's future life is not simple, and he is good at taking advantage of the situation. Soon after walking out of Caojia Village, it was convenient for the local wealthy businessman Pan Fu to take advantage of the situation, so as to gain a foothold in Qinyang County, and the drunken immortal brew was brewed by him. He then rushed to Yangzhou Mansion, apprenticed with Mei Gongbo, befriended the garrison eunuch Huang Zhong with benefits, and took advantage of Mei Gongbo and Huang Zhong's momentum to cut off the outstretched hand of the Shen family son in Liuquan Valley.

And this kid will take revenge if he has revenge, you met Zhou Xing, the son of Zhou Bin, the prefect of Yangzhou in Yangzhou Mansion, molesting Mei Gongbo's daughter Mei Qingrou, and afterwards Cao Wei made a plan to hang Zhou Xing all night. Later, Mei was humiliated in Baihualou, and Cao Wei wrote two Yongmei poems to fight back, and the name of "Miss Constipation" spread all over Yangzhou City......

When the epidemic broke out in Yangzhou Mansion, the ministers were helpless, Yangzhou was a ghost city, and when Mu Bin wanted to give up, it was this Cao Wei who found a way to treat the epidemic, so His Majesty rewarded him as Qin Yangbo.

In less than three days after Cao Wei came to Nanjing City, he tamed the subordinates of the Hundred Households, stepped on your face to establish his prestige, and put himself in front of everyone in Nanjing City.

Besides, Cao Wei united with the sons and daughters of all the nobles this time to get drunk and immortal brewing, and he used his interests to tie several nobles in Nanjing City together, so I am afraid that those old guys will be grateful to him, I am afraid that even the old man has a good impression of him, because this move has made the relationship between the Duke of Wei and the nobles of Nanjing closer. Since then, he has been fearless in the city of Nanjing......"

Xu Pengju was dumbfounded when he heard this, is this the real Cao Wei? Xu Pengju suddenly thought of something, felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Cao Wei has been using me all the time when he approached me?" ”

"According to the old man, in fact, Cao Wei really regards you as a friend!"

Xu Pengju's eyes lit up, and he stared at Old Man Xu with blank eyes.

Old man Xu said quietly: "If I didn't treat you as a friend, I wouldn't have unceremoniously stepped on your face to establish prestige when I first came to Nanjing......

"......" sounds awkward, but Cao Wei really regards himself as a friend. Young Grandpa Xu snorted and said nonchalantly: "I also recognize this friend, at least better than my father......"

There was a brief silence in the study......

A moment later, the sound of sticks breaking the wind and the wailing of Grandpa Xu came from the room......
