The time is approaching the end of the year, the sixth year of the Apocalypse is coming to an end, for Xu Liang, the patrol camp and the soap room have basically stopped, and there are still six or seven days before the New Year.

First of all, more than 10 people in the soap room, production, procurement, sales, finance, management of the various departments, the big guy was busy for nearly three months, from November to the soap room began to make profits, to the end of December net income of nearly 700 silver two sons, towards the end of the year, Xu Liang as the big boss of the soap room, there is no reason not to say, set the table banquet, say some words of encouragement at the table, after the banquet each person sealed a red envelope. Set a business goal for the coming year, and Xu Liang's goal is to open a branch in Nanchang Mansion, Jiujiang Mansion and Nankang Mansion in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and make Liang Ji's soap paste brand a household name in the boundaries of Sanfu.

However, it is a few backbones of the patrol battalion, plus the upcoming Ximen Dart Bureau Dai Feng Dart Head and several dart divisions, whether the patrol battalion can be established, recruited, trained and other work can be carried out smoothly, in the final analysis, it depends on these backbone forces, Xu Liang knows the strength of the team, this banquet, can not be ignored.

In the end, Xu Liang personally promised to give Jianchang a county Zhuang, soap, and fast three classes of the New Year's banquet, as the superior of the third class, the people under his hands were wronged, Xu Liang could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, indifferent. Of course, in line with the principle of uniting the strength that can be united, Xu Liang also invited Wang Xian, the magistrate of a county, the official of the sixth room, except for Liu Yuan, the head of the household who was determined to hold Lu County's stinky feet, the county officials such as patrol inspection, post Cheng, warehouse ambassador, etc., as for Lu County Cheng and Jiang Dianshi, although he said that he and they had already been unable to pee on a pot, but the surface work still had to be done, Xu Liang asked Yan Qi to fake and notify.

As a result, as soon as the banquet opened, Xu Liang regretted it. He didn't expect that the two of Lu Jiang not only came to the banquet together, but also deliberately brought Liu Yuan, the head of the household that Xu Liang deliberately left behind.

On the 15th of December, Xu Liang and Lu Chengyuan were in front of everyone in the county Ya No. 2 Hall, like the sound of the vegetable market, and the scene of the small traders bargaining over the patrol camp is still deeply impressed in retrospect.

Xu Liang was depressed and admired, because of the participation of these three, the meal was dull and unusually dull, and it ended hastily.

December 27, fine. Xu Liang rushed to the vicinity of Yonghe Gate in Nanchang Prefecture, and the Jiangxi political envoy visited Huang Weizhong's mansion from Sanpinzuo.

The old housekeeper of the Huangfu who greeted him was already an old acquaintance, and he took Xu Liang to talk to Xu Liang while walking towards the main hall.

Passing through a half-moon-shaped arch, Xu Liang saw that there was no one left and right, stuffed an envelope that had been prepared early into Steward Huang's hand, and said with a smile: "Steward Huang, the New Year is coming, Xu Mou will also give you an early New Year." ”

"Ouch, Lord Xu, you are so polite." Butler Huang smiled on his old face, and he was extremely skillful in stuffing the envelope into his long sleeves without a trace.

"Hehe, where did Steward Huang speak, Xu is commensurate with Lord Huang's uncle and nephew, and he is not an outsider to Steward Huang, it should be, it should be." Xu Liang said with a smile, seeing Steward Huang's gesture, he secretly said that this old guy must be accustomed to filial piety on weekdays, and look at the gestures of others who are quickly familiar, connoisseur.

"Lord Xu is right." Steward Huang said, he walked a few steps, and said: "Alas, Lord Xu, the boxes of soap paste you sent last time are very good in the house, I don't know where you got this soap cream?" ”

Xu Liang hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm not afraid of Steward Huang's jokes, this soap paste is a small industry under my name." Does it work well in the house? That's good, I'll have a few more boxes delivered when I get back. ”

"Oh, what's so embarrassing, this soap paste is quite expensive, right?" Steward Huang said.

"Hehe, I'm a nephew who sends things to my uncle's house, so what's the point of talking about whether it's expensive or not, how much is it infiltrating." Xu Liang said: "It's just that I didn't have enough manpower, and the amount of soap paste was not much, and I want to open a branch in Nanchang Mansion in the next year to strive to expand the scale." ”

"Make!" Steward Huang stroked his palms and smiled: "Huang has been in this Huang Mansion for almost ten years, Huang still has a bit of a book on the ground in Nanchang, if Lord Xu needs Huang's help, don't be polite." ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang was surprised, and said in surprise: "That's good, I'll contact you in the next year......

The two talked while walking, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the door of the main hall, Xu Liang entered the main hall, and saw Huang Weizhong in a red robe, wearing a round bulge, and another middle-aged man in a green robe who was around forty years old and had two beards on his lips sitting and talking.

"Nephew Xu Liang has seen Uncle Huang!" Xu Liang entered the normal and saluted solemnly.

"Ha, it's a virtuous nephew, hurry up and excuse me." Huang Weizhong laughed.

"Huh." Xu Liang responded obediently, got up and looked at Huang Weizhong with a smile, and said, "Last time, my uncle blamed my nephew for not coming to visit you for a long time, and this time, my nephew took advantage of the Chinese New Year to come and visit my uncle in a hurry." lest the uncle blame again. ”

"Haha, you're a little thing, it's all cute." Huang Weizhong listened, laughed heartily, the laughter gradually faded, he pointed to the middle-aged man with a beard, and said to Xu Liang: "You came just in time, this is Sun Yiping, the prefect of Nankang Mansion, you are the master of the Jiupin of Jianchang County, and you are not happy to see Shangguan when you see it." ”

Xu Liang was taken aback, hurriedly turned to the middle-aged man, and said, "Xu Liang, the chief secretary of Jianchang County, has seen Lord Futai. ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy." Governor Sun squinted and smiled, he glanced at Xu Liang, and said with a smile to Huang Weizhong: "Brother Wei, this nephew has done a good job in Jianchang, and I heard that the formation of the patrol battalion did not cost a tael of silver in the county yali. ”

"Haha, I've heard about this too," Huang Weizhong glanced at Xu Liang with approval and said with a smile.

Then Huang Weizhong and Sun Yiping talked about other things, Huang Weizhong participated in politics from the third grade, Sun Yiping was the prefect of the fourth grade, and Xu Liang, the sad baby was a small ninth grade master, and the difference between the rank and Huang and Sun was more than 108,000 miles. Yes, Xu Liang sat on the side, with a faint smile on his face, just listening, not talking.

Huang Weizhong and Sun Yiping were talking, and they actually talked about something that surprised Xu Liang.

I only heard Huang Weizhong say: "...... On the second day of the first month of June, Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, made a statement to the saint, saying that the Duke of Wei was diligent and considerate of the country, and that he was compassionate to the people. The Holy One actually approved it. A few days ago, Lord Yang Bangxian of Futai asked the old man about him, saying that he wanted to choose a few feng shui treasures in our Jiangxi Province, and also build a few ancestral halls for Duke Wei. The old man didn't say it at the time, but I think what Lord Futai means, I'm afraid this matter will be put on the agenda in the near future. ”

Governor Sun nodded and said: "Who said it wasn't, I heard that Shuntianfu, Yingtianfu, Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Henan have built several ancestral halls one after another. You and I both know the temper of Grandpa Wei in the court, and I guess the governor is also afraid of being left behind, and he is disliked by Grandpa Wei. ”

"yes." Huang Weizhong nodded and said: "It's just, where can I find the treasure land in Jiangxi with pleasant wind and shadow and good feng shui?" Hey, Xu Xian's nephew, Jianchang County is adjacent to Zhuyang Lake, and I have paid attention to it recently, if there are those good places, report it quickly, if this matter is done, but it is a great achievement! ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang exclaimed, secretly complaining in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he nodded in response: "Yes, my nephew knows!" ”

Xu Liang muttered to himself in his heart, this Father-in-law Wei seems to be still alive, although he is a lot older, he has not heard of the reason why the tablet of a big living person is placed in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall has always been a place for clansmen to worship their ancestors or ancestors. In the Ming Dynasty, the common people's family concept was quite profound, often a village lived with a surname or several families, and more built their own family temples to worship their ancestors. In other words, the ancestral hall in the tablet is dedicated to the ancestors of a surname, the ancestors, after several generations, to the recent generations of several sects, the above are all clearly arranged, the ancestral tablet, enjoy the incense, candles, fireworks, three animal sacrifices, but without exception, can be engraved on the tablet, are dead.

When the eunuch of the court, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian, the father-in-law of Wei, and the ultimate boss behind the scenes of Xu Liang's backer Huang Weizhong, you are still jumping and jumping around in the **, so impatient to put your old man's name in the ancestral hall, smoky day and night, is this asking for blessings or provoking curses?

O man, he will not die unless he dies. Xu Liang suddenly remembered a classic saying from later generations.
