In a study, a low table, two people sit opposite each other. These two people, a middle-aged man and a young girl, are naturally Jia Xu and Xiaoqing. The plate of boiled beans on the low table has been eaten up by Jia Xu, and it seems that the two have been together for a long time.

Xiaoqing's face was not good-looking, she was a little anxious, and she wanted to speak several times. Correspondingly, Jia Xu looked very comfortable, and the old god was closing his eyes on the ground.

As if sensing Xiaoqing's uneasiness, Jia Xu smiled indifferently, closed his eyes and said casually: "Xiaoqing, don't worry, it's still early." Remember, no matter what you do, you have to pay attention to a fire, a timing, and if the time is not right, everything will be in vain! Take today's matter, if the time is not right, the fire is not enough, we will start it in advance, hehe, your son-in-law can naturally be safe, but he will still be confused, and the lord does not realize that the two camps under him have reached a situation where water and fire are incompatible, that is not good for your son-in-law! ”

Xiaoqing nodded in distress and said, "What Mr. said is right, and Xiaoqing understands it." However, after all, this matter is related to the safety of my son-in-law, how can Xiaoqing not be anxious? ”

Jia Xu smiled, slowly opened his eyes, first looked at Xiaoqing, then turned his head to look out the window, estimated the time, groaned slightly, and said: "Well, today's matter is a big deal for Changwen and Gongtai, they will definitely think carefully and deduce carefully, so that there will be no mistakes in today's matter." In my estimation, they will definitely give the lord some appetizers first, and then the real big drama will come on, so this is just the beginning. Well, wait for me to think about it......"

After a long silence, Jia Xu said: "It's the beginning of the hour, and the big drama has just begun!" It's still early, hehe, Xiaoqing, since the time is still early, it's not time for us to launch, why don't you analyze the beginning and end of today's events, okay? ”

Xiaoqing looked directly at Jia Xu, and when she saw his indifferent but unquestioning gaze, she could only nod.

With a slight sigh, Xiaoqing spoke: "Sir, today's event can be said to be a war launched by the entire family group against my son-in-law, and the number of people involved will be very large, judging from the information we have, no less than two hundred families of all sizes are involved. Among these families, there are top families such as Chen Qun and Chen Gong, their ancestors have been officials in the imperial court for generations, and they can be regarded as the family of hairpins for generations, not only have high prestige in the local area, but also can be regarded as the number one in the entire Han Dynasty.

"And more often, there are some families that are not well-known, from the perspective of the whole world, they have little influence, but they control the locality, and most of the local officials come from their families. That is to say, they are the local emperors, if a court official wants to be a local official, the first thing to do is to deal with them, otherwise he can't even collect taxes, how can he talk about the rest? Therefore, it is not only the former that should not be underestimated, but even the latter. ”

After a slight pause, Xiaoqing let out a sigh of relief and continued: "Therefore, this crisis is quite dangerous for Childe!" Although the general is a heroic lord and his personality is also extremely tenacious, this kind of all-round pressure from high-ranking officials to officials, from the central government to the locality, is also difficult for him to bear. So even if he doesn't want to deal with my son-in-law, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on! ”

Jia Xu nodded approvingly, and smiled: "Well, Xiaoqing is really extraordinary!" Hehe, you are right, the pressure faced by the lord is unprecedented, but I am afraid that it will rarely encounter such a situation in the future. Well, you go on! ”

Xiao Qing let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, sir!" After a slight pause, she continued: "And the reason why this situation occurs is because my son-in-law has come up with printing!" Regardless of whether it is an official or an official, it is necessary to be able to read and hyphenate, and the knowledge and culture that used handwriting as a means of inheritance, due to the high cost of inheritance, has always been controlled by the family, and therefore, from the central to the local, from officials to officials, as long as there is a certain position of power, it has always been controlled by some large and small families, and there are very few people from civilian families, even if there are, they are all people who have taken refuge in the family.

"And once the books printed by printing on low-cost paper are put on the market, because of their low cost, for many poor people, reading and learning will no longer be out of reach, and I believe that soon after that, some knowledgeable and knowledgeable people will appear among the poor people, and they will no longer willingly let the power in the hands of the family. Therefore, printing and papermaking are a potential threat to the family, and because of this, they will hate my son so much that they will die as soon as possible! ”

Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Hehe, Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, if you are born as a man, I am afraid that your achievements will not be less than your son-in-law!" ”

Xiaoqing blushed a little, and was very embarrassed to be praised by Jia Xu, so she couldn't help but twist.

Jia Xu smiled, then poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said, "But, Xiaoqing, you are only half right, and there is another half, I don't know if you have thought of it?" ”

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put away the little pride in her heart, stroked the hair in her ear, sat up straight, and said sincerely: "Please Mr. for advice!" ”

Jia Xu was very satisfied with Xiaoqing's attitude, he smiled and said, "Hmm! Xiaoqing, according to you, your son-in-law's enemy is really terrible! Because of a printing press, he is the enemy of all the great families in the whole world, do you think he has a chance of victory? ”

Hearing this, Xiaoqing thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat! Yes, if that's the case, all the families in the world are enemies of Gongzi, and I'm afraid that Gongzi will die without a place to be buried.

She hurriedly stood up, took two steps back, tidied up her appearance, knelt down to Jia Xu uprightly, and said, "Please save my son-in-law, please save my son-in-law!" ”

Jia Xu quickly stood up, let Xiaoqing kneel, and said solemnly: "Xiaoqing, first, I have conditions to help your son-in-law, I guess you still remember this." Second, if all the families in the world are the enemies of your son-in-law, even the Da Luo Immortal can't save your son-in-law, so you don't have to make such a big gift to me! Get up and talk! ”

This time, Xiaoqing finally heard Jia Xu's words clearly, Jia Xu said "if"......

She stood up unhappily, glared at Jia Xu fiercely, patted her chest, and said coquettishly: "Sir, is it fun to scare people?" After speaking, she sat down by herself, ignored Jia Xu with a side face, and sulked.

Jia Xu sat down opposite her, smiled, and said, "Xiaoqing, you can't blame me for this, it's because you didn't think through the whole thing, the reason why I said that is just to make you realize that you want to be bad, who knows that you knelt down before you thought about it carefully?" ”

Xiaoqing couldn't help blushing a little, hey, caring is messy! It's a shame now!

Seeing Xiaoqing's embarrassment, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Well, Xiaoqing, let me remind you, hehe, the people in the world are not only some far-sighted people, there are many people, they can't see so far, their eyes will only stare at their feet!" ”

Sure enough, this sentence diverted Xiaoqing's attention, she turned her head to look at Jia Xu, Jia Xu nodded at her and smiled encouragingly.

Xiaoqing frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands excitedly, and said, "Ha, I know!" ”

Jia Xu smiled, this girl finally showed what her little daughter should look like. Bowed slightly, motioning for her to speak.

Xiaoqing chuckled and said, "Sir, Xiaoqing knows!" Hehe, the most in the world are short-sighted people, they can only see the feet! Printing, in the eyes of most people, is just another source of wealth for my son-in-law, they can't see the situation when the printed books fill the whole world, and everyone in the world can read and write, and they can't imagine that at that time, people who have read books, read and read, and have grown knowledge will be willing to hold official positions in their hands forever! ”

After a slight pause, Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her little tongue licked her lips quickly, just like the highly poisonous bamboo leaf green, and said slightly sinisterly: "Hey, hey, the people who can see this must be people with a long-term vision, and their fear of printing is the reason why they did it to my son-in-law!" After all, this kind of people are a minority, although their strength is great, but they are not enough to influence the general's thoughts, so they must attract enough allies to put pressure on the general.

"As for how their covenant was made? It's nothing more than a sharp word! As long as my son-in-law is abandoned by the general, it is impossible for the Tian family's property to continue to be kept, and it will inevitably be swallowed up by others little by little. Hey, spirits, soaps, and the increasingly prosperous plum gardens, woodsmithing workshops, etc., etc., each of these industries can make others drool!

"Well, I think that Chen Qun and Chen Gong probably used these properties of my Tian family to make promises to those small families, which created today's situation!"

After speaking, she looked at Jia Xu and waited for him to comment.

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, shouted the word "good" three times in a row, and said: "Hahaha, you are a little green, you are really extraordinary, just the so-called women do not let the eyebrows be bearded!" Well, yes, that's why it's today! As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the words of the ancients still make some sense! ”

He shook his head and said helplessly: "It's a pity, your son-in-law doesn't know this truth!" How much money did he make in those businesses? How can you not arouse jealousy in people's hearts? Since you can make so much money, you must have the strength to keep it, and you must also have the determination to keep it, hehe, when someone promises to lead them to take these away and redistribute them, how many people will be tempted?

"Boguang thinks that if he earns ten cents and gives three cents and five cents to others, they will always be grateful to Dade and will always be satisfied? Hehe...... You must know that people's greed can never be satisfied, today you earn an extra three wen, tomorrow you want to earn five more wen, you stop him, don't let him earn five wen, you are more hateful than his father-killing enemy! Hehe, in most people's minds, money is the key, and printing is just a fuse that makes Changwen and the public station explode and then make up their minds!

"Well, but then again, it's true that those short-sighted people are for immediate interests, but Changwen and Gongtai, why not also for interests? It's just that they're doing it for the long term! Holding the official position is the means for the children of the family to control the source of interests and keep vested interests, and they will naturally be unhappy with Boguang! ”

Listening to his words, Xiaoqing said somewhat helplessly: "Yes, my son-in-law is too kind, if these businesses only allow some people to take advantage of them, then the relationship between these people and my son-in-law will be connected to one, advancing and retreating together, but my son-in-law chooses to make profits for the general through these businesses and win support for the general, which is really ......."

Jia Xu nodded and said regretfully: "Boguang, you're stupid!" ”

Xiaoqing glared at him and said, "Sir, don't speak ill of my son-in-law!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and didn't answer, he turned his head to look out the window, and said softly: "Well, it's almost time!" After a slight pause, he looked at Xiaoqing and said, "At this time, they have probably told all the charges they want to sue your son-in-law, and all the people who want to show up should have already shown up to speak...... Well, no, Changwen and Gongtai are the two...... They believe in their identity, and they shouldn't have shown up yet! Hehe, in the current situation, it should be that the lord is in a dilemma, because he doesn't want to deal with your son-in-law at all, but the courtiers in the hall want to dispose of your son-in-law, and he is forced to be helpless, so he can only temporarily use the procrastination trick with a headache. Well, it's noon at this time, okay, you can go and inform the second reinforcements! ”

Xiaoqing nodded again and again, hurriedly stood up, and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll send someone right away!" ”

With that, she hurried out the door.

Jia Xu looked at Xiaoqing's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but smile, although this little woman is scheming and scheming, but once the relationship Tian Fan is in place, she is a little overwhelmed. Hehe, I really don't know where Tian Fan got such a good blessing to make such a scheming woman who is stronger than him fall in love with him?

Turning his head and looking out the window again, Jia Xu said to himself: "The first reinforcements...... Hehe, it's almost there, right? With them, they must be able to deter a group of people, even if they can't completely move back to the disadvantage, at least they can cheer up the lord and let him stabilize the situation temporarily. Hehe, when the second wave of reinforcements arrives, with the ability of those people to mess around, I think today's events will pass safely. Well, after this incident, I guess Boguang can also realize the importance of establishing his own small group, right? ”

After muttering, Jia Xule squinted his eyes, half lay on the couch, picked up the wine bowl on the table, took a sip of it, and sighed comfortably.

Jia Xu's judgment was very accurate, when Xiaoqing went out, it was just when Xu Chu withdrew from the meeting hall.
