"Alas, if I knew this, I shouldn't have put up this 'practice banquet' in the first place."

Qin Wu finally let out a long sigh before he said with "regret" on his face.

"Humph! If you knew this, you shouldn't have embarrassed 'Yongyue Gongzi' in the first place! Now it's okay, not only is our Qin family's revival plan hopeless, but even forced to sell the ancestral house! If this matter spreads, how can our Qin family gain a foothold in the county? When Qin Liang heard Qin Wu's words, he immediately said angrily.

When he said this, his heart was on fire. Because, originally, he thought that if Qin Pei and his son were allowed to leave their Qin family that morning, it should not be a problem.

After all, there were too many people from the Qin clan present at that time, so if you want to ask a patriarch to apologize in public to a side branch of the side house, it will be too difficult.

However, what he thought in his heart at the time was that after the matter was over, he would have to immediately bring Qin Wu and Qin Zuo's father and son to apologize, after all, the identities of Qin Pei's father and son were completely different now.

Qin Yong doesn't need to say more, now that it has been confirmed that he is the talented "Yongyue Gongzi", plus he has a recommended place in Hanshan Academy, it can already be proved that his future achievements are not inferior to the ancestors of their Qin family. Therefore, it is naturally not something that he, Qin Liang, the current patriarch, can knead casually.

As for Qin Pei, things are even simpler, because he has enough money in his hands! Although, like Qin Liang, Qin Wu and other in-laws, they don't look down on Qin Pei's identity and the smell of copper all over their bodies, but they have to admit that the only person who can help their Qin family out of trouble is Qin Pei.

Therefore, in the end, they pinched their noses and prepared to go to Qin Pei's father and son to beg for forgiveness. However, when they inquired afterwards, it became clear that Qin Pei's father and son had left the Gaoyao scene directly on the day they left the Qin family. So, they were dumbfounded.

"Didn't they say that they would move the graves? Why did Coco leave today? ”

Qin Liang asked in extreme shock after learning the news at that time.

"Maybe you're waiting for the return trip before moving?"

Qin Wu also said in disbelief at that time. As the number two person in the Qin family. He naturally knew very well how strict the consequences of not being able to find Qin Pei's father and son were, so he also said in a panic at this time.

"Yes, that's fine! But I'm afraid not! Why don't you send someone to chase after you right away? ”

In the end, Qin Wu, under Qin Liang's anger, sent as many as five servants to chase after Qin Pei's father and son.

But it's helpless. Their Qin family is now so poor that they don't even have a horse that can travel hundreds of miles a day, and besides, those servants don't know what their master is in a hurry at all, "It's just a side branch, even if you can't catch up, so what's the matter?" ”

It is based on such an idea, so. After they left Gaoyao County, they walked for half a day and rested for half a day, and in the end, they chased more than 200 miles, but they still couldn't see Qin Pei's father and son's convoy, so they came back directly.

"What? Didn't catch it? Waste, all waste? With such a waste, what is the use of my Qin family raising you? Get lost. Get out of here! ”

Three days later, after Qin Liang learned that he hadn't caught up with Qin Pei's father and son, he suddenly said even more angrily.

It's just that while he was furious, he was still calculating in his heart. Because, in this case, their Qin family will really be completely defeated this time. Therefore, like those servants in the past, they basically have to be cleared one by one, otherwise. In a few days, their Qin family won't even be able to take out the rice to feed them.

In fact, Qin Liang had been doing this kind of thing a year ago. It was all a fortuitous incident, and then an excuse, and then the servants were dismissed one by one.

Of course, the first to be cleared are naturally those "contract workers" who have not yet been sold in, and are purely in an employment relationship. And after the "contract workers" are cleared, he begins to do it to the servants outside the mansion again!

It would be impossible to completely restore their freedom, but if they could take the initiative to pay a good ransom fee, then he would agree to give them back their freedom. However, there are also some who really can't come up with the money, so he will arrange for them to be sold to the "labor market", anyway, these are some servants who have made "mistakes", so no one dares to say anything about his decision.

What is also the "labor market" in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Yes, but the real name is not "Labor Market", but "Renya Firm". It's just that its function is somewhat similar to that of the "labor market" of later generations. Of course, it's not entirely consistent, because it's not a two-way street, but something akin to human trafficking.

Because, most of the so-called "talents" in this are those servants or maids who have signed a deed of sale, and these people are basically subordinates who have been given up by everyone and sold to the "Renya Commercial Bank", just to make some money.

Of course, there are also some people who are forced by life to sell themselves into slavery, but if they can't find a suitable seller for a while, they can also sell themselves to the "Renya Trading House", which can also get a small amount of money.

It's just that these servants or subordinates who are sold into the "human trading house", even if they are sold again in the future, can generally only be engaged in the most lowly work. Because, the servants of the wealthy families disdain to be selected from the "Renling Firm", so for the servants, this "Human" Merchant House is also a big fire pit, and once you jump in, you basically can't get out!

And what Qin Liang is sending them to now is such a fire pit! Of course, in fact, strictly speaking, a family like the Qin family, which claims to be a "scholarly family", should not do such a lack of morality. However, there is no way, now their Qin family's income is too little, so. Even if he could only get a little money, then Qin Liang had to do it.

And now, it was time to take action against all the servants in the mansion, so Qin Liang took advantage of the excuse of "not being able to catch up with Qin Pei's father and son", and sent the five servants to the "Renhan Trading House". Then, there was a complete purge of the other servants in the Qin family's mansion. In the end, there were basically less than five usable subordinates under their hands. At this time, Qin Liang stopped!

"No, the ancestral house must not be sold, so let's sell all the remaining properties! And so it goes. It should be able to survive the beginning of autumn."

After thinking about it again, Qin Liang finally did not agree to sell the Qin family's ancestral home. Because, in his heart, he thought that once this ancestral house was sold, not only would their Qin family suffer from ridicule in Gaoyao County, but even when Qin Pei's father and son returned to the city to move their graves in the future, they would have no way to keep Qin Pei's father and son. After all. Your ancestral house has been sold, so won't this Qin family exist in name only?

However, it is not easy to sell all the properties other than the ancestral home. This is because the few remaining industries are basically not well managed, so if you want to sell them now, the price will not be high. But. Even if their management is not good, every once in a while, they will always let the Qin family get a small amount of income, so it can also delay their financial pressure for the time being. However, once all these properties are sold, it will be a real place to sit on the mountain. Until that time. Even if these industries can sell a few hundred taels of silver, with their usual daily use, it can't support half a year.

"Cocoa. Big brother, what can I do after the beginning of autumn? ”

"Well, after the beginning of autumn, it is time for them to turn around, and at that time, as soon as they enter the city gates, we will go to see them immediately. I don't believe it, with the position of the next patriarch of the Qin family, I can't ask for their full support! Qin Liang finally said fiercely.

"Huh? But big brother, didn't you say that the position of the patriarch was inherited by Youzuo'er? ”

When Qin Wu heard this, he immediately became anxious. Qin Liang's words were a big surprise to him, because their father and son had always regarded the position of the next patriarch as something in their pockets, but they didn't expect that this thing in the bag was for him to take out again, so he was naturally anxious!

However, no matter how urgent it is, it is useless. Because, Qin Liang quickly said, "Hmph, it's all this time, aren't you sober yet?" What is Zuo'er's fame now? What kind of fame is Qin Yong? Even if I let him be the patriarch, will he be able to afford it? It's better to take this position in exchange for Qin Pei's support, in this way, you will have the days of brocade clothes and meat in the future, otherwise, it is not impossible to sleep on the streets, what? Do you want to try it? ”

"Ugh"

So, Qin Wu was speechless. Because, what Qin Liang said was not wrong at all. If they didn't get the support of Qin Pei's father and son, then their entire Qin family was about to be gone, what kind of patriarch could they be?

"Hey, it's cheaper than the branch kid over there!"

In the end, Qin Wu thought very angrily in his heart.

In his opinion, since their Qin family had put forward such a condition, then Qin Pei's father and son had no reason to refuse at all, so the "persuasion plan" after the beginning of the autumn would naturally be successful.

It's just that they don't want to think about it, they themselves think that the position of the patriarch is quite important, but does Qin Yong take it seriously?

In addition, there is one point, they have already thought about it, that is, Qin Yong's mother's grave, Qin Butcher was actually buried thirty miles away from Gaoyao County, and it is that only he knows the specific location, so if they want to wait until Qin Yong's father and son return to the city before making plans, it is basically wishful thinking, because, at that time, Qin Pei's father and son are likely to directly skip Gaoyao County, so their plan is destined to go bankrupt.
