"Well spoken!" Wang Shihua slapped the table excitedly, and after screaming, he stood up and said with a proud smile: "Shoucheng, I haven't officially inherited the head of the family, and I can't and has no right to change it internally, but externally, I can make a difference." Take pen and ink, I'm going to write a prayer post myself! ”

"Bye-on? Master, what are you going to do? ”

"I want to reformulate the rules of Longtang Town with the Tian family, and I can't mess around like this again, otherwise, this financial resource will have to be dried up by them sooner or later."

Young master, even if you can put it down like this, I'm afraid the Tian family won't be so easy to talk to, otherwise, with the wisdom of the master, I wouldn't have seen such an obvious problem as 'cooperation is beneficial for both sides'? Jiang Shoucheng opened his mouth, it can be seen that Wang Shihua has a proud look, he must have made up his mind, he can't ask again, so he can only try to persuade tactfully: "Young master, about this matter, why don't we ask the old man in the family?" ”

As soon as Wang Shihua heard this, he understood the true meaning of Jiang Shoucheng's words, nodded, and said, "Let's go!" Go ask Uncle Jiang. ”

As a big housekeeper, Uncle Jiang naturally has a house in Lao Sicheng. At this time, he was drowsy on a couch in his small yard.

Hearing the sound, he looked back and saw that it was Wang Shihua, and quickly got up.

"Uncle Jiang, lie down, don't move. It's going to wear you out these days. ”

The politeness of the head of the house is polite, and it is your business if you don't get on the road.

"Young master, don't worry, this old bone can still stand it." Uncle Jiang got up with a smile and asked his subordinates to serve tea.

After the three of them sat down, Wang Shihua talked about the matter and the thoughts in his heart, but Uncle Jiang put the small teapot on the table, looked at Jiang Shoucheng fiercely, and shouted: "Unfilial things, don't kneel down for me!" ”

Jiang Shoucheng hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Do you know why I want you to kneel?"

"The child knows." Jiang Shoucheng glanced at Wang Shihua, who was wondering, and said: "Daddy has taught children since he was a child, as a big housekeeper, the first thing to do is to be loyal to the head of the family; Second: hands should be clean, and what should not be taken must not be touched; Third: No matter what happens to you, when you see your head of the family making a mistake, you must give advice...... The child has committed the third one. ”

"Uncle Jiang, forget it this time, right?"

Uncle Jiang glanced at Wang Shihua, then at Jiang Shoucheng, sighed, and said, "What the young master asked is related to the future cause of the family, you will assist the young master in the future, you must listen, otherwise you will not be able to follow the young master in the future." Since the young master intercedes for you, you get up first and stand aside to listen, and then turn back to the main hall and kneel on a stick of incense. ”

"Yes!"

Only then did Uncle Jiang say to Wang Shihua: "Young master, I'm afraid this matter is difficult. ”

Wang Shihua nodded, drank tea, looked at Uncle Jiang, and waited for the following.

"Actually, this matter has been done by the master and Tian Renli, the head of the Tian family, before, but it is all out of his own interests or because it is really not good, so he has to temporarily collect taxes. The young master said it out of public intentions, I am afraid that the other party will suspect the young master's intentions...... This is one of them. ”

"Second, only the heads of the family on both sides have the final say on this kind of major matter. Even if the young master said that he moved the master, the head of the Tian family was an old fox, and it was very difficult to deal with. However, there are no outstanding seedlings in the Tian family's generation, that is, their future head Tian Jiafu, in my opinion, just a fatal flaw of hesitating every time a major event is far inferior to the young master's eloquence. If the young master really wants to collect taxes jointly between the two families, he can try it from him first. Of course, it's best to let us people come forward first at the beginning, so that things can have room to maneuver. "He is worthy of being a big housekeeper for decades, and he is old and serious.

"These are all easy to say, but does the young master know where the roots of the two families are over the years?"

"Leader!" Wang Shihua smiled and opened his mouth to say three words.

"The young master is really good, the day of the rise of our Wang family is not far away." Uncle Jiang smiled with satisfaction: "Actually, there are two roots: one is the origin of the situation in Longtang Town: more than 20 years ago, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, our Wang family took advantage of the chaos to seize the old Sicheng of the old Tusi, but the Tian family took advantage of the merger between our Wang family and the old Tusi to rob Longtang Town. Our Wang family is willing to be convinced, and the Tian family will not spit out the meat that has been eaten in their mouths, so we have been fighting and working together for a long time over the years, which is one of them; Second, let's not talk about the past, the main problem now is the right to speak just now that the young master just said. Both sides are not stupid, and naturally understand that the result of the fight between the two sides is that both sides will lose, although the two sides have been restrained and have not fought over the years, but neither of them is convinced. If you want to collect taxes in a unified manner, young master, who will have the final say in the two families? ”

"Uncle Jiang, I've thought about this, I think that our two families can take turns to collect taxes, such as one month on one side, or ten days on the other."

Seeing that Wang Shihua finished speaking with confidence, Uncle Jiang shook his head with a smile and said, "Young Master, if you take turns collecting taxes, I'm afraid the situation will be worse." ”

"Uncle Jiang, you are well-informed, tell me about it carefully." Wang Shihua did not immediately refute, but smiled and asked the other party to tell the reason. This is the advantage he learned from Daddy's voice: under Daddy's long-term education, he has developed a good habit: no matter whether the other party is right or not, he will let the other person finish the sentence first, so as to grasp the key points between the other party's words.

"Young master, let me give you the simplest analogy: it's like a glutinous dumpling that allows two people who don't deal with each other, you take turns to eat one bite at a time. You say, will you think about eating it all in one bite? ”

"Uncle Jiang, do you mean that both sides will desperately collect taxes and eventually destroy the entire Longtang Town?" This is the right reason: I'm going to smoke hard first anyway, and as for how much is left when it's your turn to draw taxes, my?

"The young master is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it at all, which is much more solid than the master." Pat the leader's ass from time to time, so that you can be intimate with the leader.

"Uncle Jiang, then what should you do about this?"

"Young master, in fact, this kind of thing has been experienced many times ago, and the procedures are all there, it depends on whether the heads of the families on both sides have this intention." After speaking, seeing that Wang Shihua was still looking over, Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "First of all, I will have a private chat with the Tian family's housekeeper; If the other party agrees, it must be the young master who talks to the future head of the other party's family about the general issue; If there is no big disagreement, it is up to the heads of the two sides to meet; Then, it is up to me to negotiate formally with the other party's butler; After the negotiation is settled, please ask the heads of the family on both sides to confirm. In this way, it can be regarded as formalized. ”

Wang Shihua frowned and asked, "After such a trip, it won't be half a year younger?" ”

"Young Master, this matter is not urgent. Because of interest negotiations, whoever is in a hurry first will suffer. ”

"How long will that last?"

"It depends on the interests. Because after the unified collection of taxes on both sides, the commerce and trade of Longtang Town will inevitably flourish, and the interests will increase sharply, and the time will naturally disperse for the interests. At that time, it depends on which of the two sides is fastest. After speaking, Uncle Jiang also added with a smile: "In previous years, it was such a process. ”

"This is an endless loop, Uncle Jiang, is there a way to break it?"

Uncle Jiang looked at Wang Shihua carefully, and said with a wry smile: "Young master, you have already thought of it, why bother to question the old slave again." ”

Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: Quickly cut through the mess! Since it is a dead knot, it should be broken by force, drive the other party out of Longtang Town, and all problems will be solved.

"If you can not use force, it is better not to use force, our Wang family has died enough in battle over the years."

"Young master, forgive the old slave for talking too much. We will have a battle with the Tian family, and this battle will determine the ownership of Longtang Town. Uncle Jiang looked at Wang Shihua solemnly, and his tone was heavy: "This battle, our Wang family can't afford to lose." Rather than that, it's better to prepare early. ”

smiled again: "Although the master has been preparing for this battle all these years. But the young master doesn't know yet, right? Since he knew that the Zhang family was competing to choose a family, the lord was overjoyed, and since then, the lord has accelerated his pace. Haven't you noticed that there have been a lot of old people in your family recently? ”

Originally, I didn't think it either, but after listening to Uncle Jiang's reminder, Wang Shihua suddenly woke up: There are indeed many old faces in Lao Sicheng, such as Uncle Tiger, who lives in the mountains all year round.

"Young master, in terms of manpower, our Wang family does not lose to the other party, but in terms of financial resources and guns and ammunition, we lose the Tian family, so what the master means is that after the young lady passes the door, we can officially discuss cooperation with the Zhang family. When the time comes, with the human and financial support of the Zhang family, the advantages of the Tian family will become disadvantages. At that time, we can have a big battle with the Tian family...... Young master, I talked to the chief housekeeper of the Zhang family about this, hey! Hey! They are even more active than we are. ”

Ginger is still old and spicy! He is still running around like a headless fly, but Daddy's side has been preparing for the breakthrough decisive battle of the Wang family for many years. Thinking of this, Wang Shihua couldn't help but stand up, his face was excited, his eyes were shining, his fists were clenched, and he said, "Uncle Jiang, I can't wait." ”

"Huh! Scold! Young master, you have to wait if you don't wait! ”

"Why?"

"Everyone knows that once we form an alliance with the Zhang family, we will inevitably get great support in terms of human and financial resources, and we will inevitably compete with others for the living space of the children of the Wang family, and the Tian family's power in Longtang Town has long been regarded by us as a thorn in the flesh. Won't they fail to prepare? So, in order to paralyze them, we have to not only do the things you just talked about, but we have to do them with great enthusiasm. ”

Wang Shihua took a deep breath, calmed down, and bowed to Uncle Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, I, Wang Shihua, on behalf of the children of the whole clan, thank you for your assistance and dedication over the years. ”

Uncle Jiang jumped up as if he was burning his buttocks, and shouted, "Young master, young master!" This can't be helped, this can't be helped! ”

"Uncle Jiang, sit down!" Wang Shihua bowed with secret strength, and after helping Uncle Jiang sit down, Wang Shihua suddenly asked suspiciously: "Uncle Jiang, why hasn't Daddy mentioned this to me before?" ”

"Huh! Scold! Young master, the master is afraid that you are young and impulsive, but in the eyes of the old slave, this time, the master is really blind. Uncle Jiang sighed, with three points of sadness and seven points of pride in his eyes, looked at Wang Shihua, then at Jiang Shoucheng, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young master, the old slave is offended: Although you are young, you have really grown up, in the eyes of the old slave, in less than two years, the old man should make fun of his grandson to enjoy the blessings." Although Shoucheng doesn't have your ability, he has followed you since he was a child, helping you pick up and fill in the gaps, taking care of family affairs, settling accounts, collecting rent, etc., which can help a little. ”

Wang Shihua looked back at Jiang Shoucheng, and saw that Jiang Shoucheng's face was slightly red, his eyes showed a light of expectation, and he looked at him nervously. Wang Shihua's heart moved, and he understood what Uncle Jiang meant......
