Chapter 028: Wise Elder Xie Steward
The old butler coughed lightly and talked eloquently:
The old slave slept all night, and inadvertently suddenly remembered that the Yu family's Yu account room was bullied in the house yesterday, and he would not give up, and came to the door to find trouble, which was almost immediate. For my Xie family, the Yu family is like a wolf, and the Panshanzhai is also like a tiger. If the tiger and the wolf fight......"
Hearing this, Xie Zuo already understood what the old butler meant, which was nothing more than to drive away the wolf. This method is indeed not unusual, and he has not thought of it. However, this is easy to say, and it will undoubtedly be difficult to implement. If nothing else, at least if you want to take advantage of others, you have to let people see the benefits, right? No one is a fool and will do things that harm themselves and others, and if you want to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, I am afraid that it is more likely to be divided by the tiger and wolf first.
"But ......"
"The old slave naturally understands that it must be difficult to implement this matter." The old butler waved his hand absently and continued:
"Neither Yu nor the thief obey me, so how to synchronize the actions of the two parties is also difficult."
"When tigers and wolves compete, the strength of the two parties must be equal in strength to benefit me, but one side is seeking revenge, and the other party is just collecting debts, the starting point is different, and the strength of the natural dispatch of manpower is also different, which is also difficult."
"The two sides are neither blind nor deaf, even if they happen to meet, but in the face of an opponent who is clearly not an enemy, they will not start a conflict at will; If the two sides cannot afford to fight, this strategy of fighting between tigers and wolves will naturally not be implemented, and it will be difficult to do so. ”
Xie Zuo nodded frequently when he heard this. The old housekeeper was right, it was precisely because of these difficulties that he didn't think about it at all. But since the old housekeeper knew this, he still had to solemnly propose this plan, and he thought that there should be a solution.
"According to what Uncle Qin saw, how to break it?"
The old butler suddenly smiled mysteriously: "The young master forgot, is there another key point in it?" ”
"What's the key?" Xie Zuo was a little confused.
"Young Master, has you forgotten the Qin family?"
"The Qin family?" Xie Zuo frowned, what does this have to do with the Qin family?
"The Yu family and my Xie Mansion have a hatred of seizing land. Now only send subordinates to the door, one of them claims to be an official eunuch family, and emphasizes some gradual progress; Second, the main thing is to be afraid of the marriage contract between the Qin family and the young master, so he can still maintain restraint. But young master, do you think that if at the right time, the Yu family happens to learn the news that the marriage contract has been annulled, will they no longer have any scruples and move into the nest? ”
"What do you mean by ......" Hearing this, Xie Zuo's eyes lit up, and he basically understood what the old housekeeper meant.
In today's era, agriculture is the foundation, and land is the most precious thing for the vast majority of people in the world. Taking away people's land and property is to cut off people's financial resources, which is tantamount to harming people's parents. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Yu family and the Xie family have a common enmity. According to the current situation, because the Xie family has the tiger skin of the Qin County Order, although the Yu family covets the Xie Mansion, they don't dare to go too far, at most, they send two people to collect debts every once in a while and harass them; But if one day, they learned that the marriage contract between the Xie family and the Qin family was no longer there, would they still exercise restraint?
The answer is almost obvious. As the largest gentry in the township, the power of the Yu family is all over the township, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the head of the Yu family raises his arms, more than 1,000 households in the township will gather under his command! With such strength, facing an enemy family with a deep hatred and a complete loss of background, if it can still be suppressed, the people of the Yu family may really be able to have something to do with the ancestors of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The old butler half-squinted, and said slowly:
"The trilemma just mentioned, as long as you control the timing of spreading the news to the Yu family, the difficulty can be solved!"
"In the same way, the hatred of the Yu family has been suppressed for a long time, and once I know that my family will be destroyed once, I will definitely not be able to hold back, call friends and friends, and come in a big way, and in an instant, hundreds of young people will be entangled. There are no more than 100 thieves in the mountains, but they are all fierce and bloodthirsty; Although the Yu family is unbearable for a battle, there are many people. In this way, the strength of the two sides is basically equal, and the dilemma can be solved! ”
"After all, Panshanzhai is a thief, no matter how arrogant he is, he must follow the rules and dare not be too blatant. For example, going out of the mountain at night is always one of the rules of a strong man. If the timing is right, when the two parties meet, it will be in the dark of night, and it will be difficult to distinguish between each other, and they will be entangled. Coupled with the depth of the night, even if the strength is slightly uneven, there is no difference between clouds and mud under the cover of night. Therefore, the trilemma can be solved! ”
The old housekeeper's explanation was well-organized and meticulous, and Xie Zuo's heart was surging when he heard it! The huge problem, under the reasonable analysis of the old housekeeper, was easily solved, and it seemed to be effortless! What's even better is that if it is implemented according to the old housekeeper's policy, it is equivalent to solving the two troubles in front of the Xie family at once!
As long as these two troubles are solved, the other problems can be said to be not worth mentioning. Divorce? If you retreat, you will retreat, and if there is no pressure, why bother to hold on to the backing?
In an instant, Xie Zuo felt that the sky was extremely clear, and since the inexplicable crossing, it had always shrouded the top of his head, and the heavy dark clouds that pressed people almost breathlessly were about to be blown away, and a refreshing feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds instantly filled Xie Zuo's whole body from head to toe!
In addition to being excited, Xie Zuo suddenly thought that just before this morning, the old housekeeper still looked too worried. And after just one night's hard work, all of a sudden, he has changed from an old man who is about to twilight to an elder who is now holding the wisdom bead, if there is no attribute pill in this, he will not believe it if he kills Xie Zuo!
In other words, the changes brought by Cao Zhi's attribute pill to the old housekeeper can be described as immediate. But why did Xie Qingyi, who also used Lu Bu's attribute pill, seem to be not much different from the past? According to his own words, there was no other abnormality except for his strength. Could it be that there is still a fit for this attribute Dan?
Retracting his thoughts that were about to diverge, Xie Zuo took a step back, faced the old butler, and threw his body to the ground. The old man, who was not waiting for the panic, humbly conceded, stepped forward and grabbed the old butler's arm, and said sincerely:
"Uncle Qin, it is your duty to accept my salute. This gift not only represents myself, but also represents my father, the ancestors of the Xie family, and thank you for your dedication to the Xie family. If the Xie family is preserved, your old home will be a great contribution! ”
After saying a few words, the old man was in tears, holding Xie's left hands tightly and crying silently. It is true that the master of the Xie family has never treated him and his family as subordinates, and he has taken care of him a lot on weekdays. But after all, there is a difference between master and slave, and in this society with strict etiquette and order, once you step into the ranks of servants, you will be a lifelong slave. No matter how much the master values him, the word slave is an indelible imprint engraved in his life for life!
It wasn't until this moment that the old housekeeper saw something called equality and respect in Xie Zuo's eyes! The so-called scholar is the death of a confidant, although he has nothing to do with the "scholar" Fengma Niu, but it does not hinder the old man at this moment in his heart, willing to go to the soup for his young master, willing to die of feelings!
Yes, needless to say, the old man was grateful, and in Xie Zuo's stunned, the loyalty shown on the attribute panel actually rose slowly, and it was not until "98" that the rising momentum stopped!
What surprised Xie Zuo even more was that in addition to the old housekeeper, Xie Qingyi, who had been in a daze and couldn't figure out the situation, had inexplicably increased his loyalty. Could it be that there is such a thing as loyalty, and there is a father-son connection?
