Nine, the gold beads

"Mr. Li, the master invites you to the study to talk." With a pair of watery "almond eyes", Ah Wei knocked on Mr. Li's door.

"Awei?!" Mr. Li was bluffed! "Didn't you do something wrong, and the official punished you?" ”

If you don't ask, under this question, Awei's "almond eyes" seem to be about to fall into the waterdrops: "The master is generous, where will he punish the slaves, it's not the two yesterday。。。。。。 ”

Mr. Li's heart trembled: "Ah Wei, Er is still young, and he is not in the situation of "if he is not enough, I am afraid that he will not be able to live with his age". When we first arrived in Jiangnan, you went to provoke the little lady? Or two? This, this, this。。。。。。 ”

"Master, you're all confused. I! I got a steamed bun yesterday! I! I can't tell you! Ah Wei couldn't help it anymore, and the huge golden beans finally fell down one by one.

Mr. Li only felt that the world was spinning, this good man, after being fumigated by the water vapor of the south of the Yangtze River for a few days, would he become like this? That's a big deal! Suddenly, I felt that my feet were filled with sand, and my steps became heavy. All the way to the study, I saw Liu He carefully looking at a roll of paper.

"Official." Mr. Liu made a move.

"Why is the gentleman so worried? Isn't this house unaccustomed to living? And be more lenient, this place is also an expedient measure, waiting for the new house to be good, it is exactly the same as Beijing. ”

Mr. Li waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, the official family misunderstood." Serving the Lord faithfully, and the master can live, how can I be disgusted. I am for Na Awei. As he spoke, he shook his head: "Ah Wei needs to be disciplined and guided well, the official family has not yet accomplished, and he can't indulge in slavery." Besides, this and this, they are still two little ladies, indecent, really indecent. ”

When Liu He heard this, he almost choked on the tea he had just imported, and then laughed: "Sir, how did Ah Wei tell you?" ”

"What Mr. said is extremely true, but the matter of Ah Wei is really not worth Mr. worrying about. He was really bullied by two maids. When you and I are done, you will ask him carefully. ”

Mr. Li was still stubborn, but when he remembered that the official family was serious, he thought that he would catch Na Awei for a while and ask carefully to understand.

"Sir, please look." Liu He handed over the paper silk.

Mr. Liu glanced at ten lines: "This。。。。。。 Official. This division of shares is also reasonable. But the power of this businessman, the Sheng family's appetite, is really bigger. The official agreed? ”

"Yes. It is a good thing to let them do business. There are many advantages and few disadvantages for us. Long before coming here, Lone had written to the emperor's uncle, and Lone had the right to make decisions on this matter, and Lone had already repaired the book and returned to the court early this morning. ”

"I understand it below. The right to allow businessmen, one to increase taxes, and two to enrich the people, is indeed a beautiful thing. It's just that these are all important materials, and it's really appropriate for the Sheng family to have the power of this businessman? ”

"Sir, don't worry, sit down and drink tea. Let's listen to Lone slowly tell you. ”

"Sir, how do you think the Sheng family has been standing tall in this storm?"

"The Sheng family started to do business a hundred years ago, with a huge foundation and extensive contacts, and has already entered the Gaomen clan. Generations of family heads are well versed in the way of management, so they naturally keep the peace. Mr. Li spoke without thinking.

After hearing this, Liu He smiled meaningfully, stretched out his fingers and buckled the tabletop again, before saying, "Mr. only knows one and doesn't know the other." The capital is that the Sheng family has a huge foundation and a wide range of contacts, so how can anyone ever ask, how big? How extensive? ”

"Listen to me."

"Sir, you know, the Sheng family has a family rule. When a man reaches the age of a weak crown and a woman reaches the age of waiting, the Sheng family is an official document, and the slaves are good. ”

"This?! Is there such a thing? And why? This move is unreasonable! ”

"Sir, don't worry. Wait for the lonely to speak slowly. The Sheng family set up a school for domestic slaves in the house. From an early age, domestic slaves had to learn to read and count. When he waits for the age of the foreign master, he will be divided and taught according to his heart. There are learning to raise silkworms and mulberry, there are learning to cultivate and breed, there are learning to mine and smelt, and there are learning to drive boats. Whatever livelihood we can think of, nothing is missing. What's more, after becoming an adult, he became an official in the court. ”

Liu He glanced at Mr. Li, who had already dropped his jaw in shock, sighed, and continued,

"After the Sheng family released the slave and became good, they would give a marriage match according to the skills learned by the slave, or give the farm, or the minerals, and so on. After standing on their own from the good family slaves, they don't have to worry about the harvest business, as long as there is output, the Sheng family will harvest it all, and if there is a war disaster, the Sheng family will give credit. In addition, the Sheng family often goes to that deserted place, village by village to buy land and slaves, but these remote places often have miraculous medicines or mineral deposits, and this cycle has been like this for hundreds of years, Mr. Li think about it。。。。。。 ”

Mr. Li was shocked into a cold sweat: "This Sheng family is really like this spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, moisturizing things silently!" Over the past hundred years, between the vertical and horizontal, the branches have permeated everywhere. These slaves from good families originally had nothing, but when they entered the Sheng family, they not only learned skills, but also received great graces such as getting rid of slavery and receiving inheritance, and also guaranteed harvest in drought and flood. The Sheng family is no longer buying people's hearts, but punishing them! The disloyalty of such people has been completely extinguished. ”

"Exactly." Liu He narrowed his eyes: "Therefore, no matter how chaotic the situation is, the Sheng family always has supplies." Whether it is a clan or a gate valve, fighting a war and marching in the world, which one is short of materials and money? The Sheng family is also long-sleeved and good at dancing, dealing with everything from all over the world, even if each family fights like a river of blood, it will not damage the interests of the Sheng family. Because every loss is a loss. ”

"Official, in this way, in our northern land, is the Sheng family already deep-rooted?"

"Sir, wise. I think it was because the Sheng family was suspected of being "quite different", and they were used to seeing the change of the clan and didn't want to make friends with us, so they turned dormant in the north. ”

Mr. Li suddenly realized: "I am ashamed of the word wisdom." I am ashamed to only look at the appearance and not think deeply! ”

Therefore, the right of the lonely Sheng family to do business is to reveal the power of the Sheng family dormant in the north. And to set up a school in the south, the Sheng family must intervene, which is also the reason. has the origin of the Sheng family, and is alone in the north, and can also be a little more safe. ”

Speaking of this, Liu He was a little gloomy: "Mr. also knows that Lone's mother is from the Central Plains. Although Lone is a duke, he is always like a rootless duckweed. You said, "Why don't I take the concubines and children?" In order to give the imperial uncle a peace of mind, Lone will not forget the name of the Duke of the Northland, and all the things Lone does are loyal to the emperor's uncle. ”

Mr. Li was moved, stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your trust!" Be an example for all the guests and serve wholeheartedly. ”

"Lonely has to rely on Mr. Li a lot. In the future, this matter of running a school and repairing a journal will be handed over to Mr. Yu to do. Can it be made? ”

"Nature makes. The official family commanded. Mr. Li felt full of ambition in his chest, and he had the heart to fight for the world's scholars.
