087 [Hao Family and Wang Family]
Uncle Quan explained the matter to Cao Shuyu.
Cao Shuyu couldn't help laughing twice when she heard this, and felt happy in her heart.
"Master, this five million must also arrive soon, and the transfer of funds from all the businesses under my Deshan Hall has also been basically arranged."
"Well, what about Liuqing Hall and Wugui Hall?"
"The funds for these two churches have all been in place, and they are the second ......"
When Cao Shuyu heard Ertang, his eyes were gloomy: "Ertang went to find the old man?" ”
"The master is right!" As soon as Uncle Quan mentioned this, he was very angry: "Ertang is making a monster in front of the old man again, hum!" This time, I found a new reason, and I actually talked about the master, your heir! ”
He hated it most than anything about his master's heirs.
Cao Shuyu sneered: "What? What does he mean by the second hall, as long as there are many heirs, he has the right to replace them? Or do you want to pass on one to me? ”
"Master!" When Uncle Quan heard this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, master, you don't have no heirs! I just don't dare to tell you......
"Heh... I, Cao Shuyu, am so weak and incompetent in the eyes of Ertang? Don't even have an heir? ”
"Impossible! If the East Sixth Gate didn't have my five halls, I'm afraid I would have followed in the footsteps of the West Sixth Gate! Although the old man has not done anything in recent years, he is not so indistinguishable from black and white......"
Cao Shuyu looked at him with sharp eyes: "Uncle Quan, the old man is not confused, don't say this again in the future." ”
Uncle Quan immediately noticed the gaffe, and his face turned white in an instant: "Damn!" The old slave lost his words, and asked the master to punish him. ”
"Forget it this time, don't take it as an example."
"That'...... Master, how do you say this should be handled? ”
"Wait for the second hall to make trouble, it's okay if it falls out, and the fifth hall can set up another door, anyway, now the imperial court has issued a new 'Tui En Order', isn't it to encourage the separation of the family?"
"Tui En Ling......" Uncle Quan didn't think he would answer like this, it seemed to be true, but...... It doesn't seem right.
Expanding the number of people who are exempted from the preferential treatment but limiting the scale of the preferential exemption for the clan land is equivalent to saying 'no' to land annexation, and the reason why it has not been drastic has been adopted...... First, land is an extension of interpersonal relationships in a hierarchical society, and it is the essence of traditional society that a differential order pattern is maintained because of land. If you want to break the differential order that has been established on the land, unless you build a new pattern to replace it.
Second, the primary goal of centralized rule is to maintain stability. Since the Song Dynasty, the decree of 'no establishment of the land system and no suppression of annexation' did not interfere with the free purchase and sale of private land, and the dispersion of land seemed to have reduced the ability of single-family farmers to resist power, but as a whole, the power of small farmers has increased. The notion that land is private property is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the poorer the family, the more important land is to them.
Third, since land sales have been marketized, the rise and fall of land prices is affected by their land income, which is in line with economic laws. As long as the state controls the flow of grain, it is also indirectly equivalent to controlling the land income. In traditional societies, land endowments are the main source of income, so it is only necessary to crack down on behaviors that are harmful to the state tax revenue, such as donations, to maintain the relative stability of the land market. When the land relationship is stable, the society will be stable.
However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it must be a long process to completely solve the land problem. In any case, at least this direction is still the right one, which is to leave most of the problems to the market to solve.
The Cao family wanted to use the laws of the market to make a profit, and although they had the acquiescence of the emperor, they did not necessarily have the idea of fighting. Therefore, the Cao family's actions are particularly eye-catching in the eyes of some people who understand.
The Hao family and the Wang family are in-laws, and Mrs. Hao is Wang Dalong's sister-in-law.
There is an endless stream of people coming in and out of his tooth shop every day, and a small side room is stuffed to the brim.
As soon as Wang Dalong saw his eldest brother coming, he hurriedly pulled out his face and greeted him with a smile: "I haven't seen my brother for many days, so that my brother is so worried, how are you lately?" Are the nephews alright? ”
Master Hao rubbed two pieces of walnuts in his hand, but did not respond, just slanted at him with his eyes.
Wang Dalong took a look, and naturally understood in his heart: "Actually, I have long wanted to invite my brother to come, and today it is rare for you to come to my small place with a face, so I have to let my brother entertain a plate of good life." In this way, there are a lot of people here, why don't you ask my brother to walk here and sit in my yard? ”
Old Man Hao snorted in his nose, which was counted as a response. Wang Dalong greeted him warmly and walked towards the gate of Yaxing.
After entering the tooth shop, the two walked through the main hall to the inner courtyard, and came to the west wing through a hanging flower door. This is Wang Dalong's own living and office place, and it is also a private study. The west chamber here is also connected to the east chamber of the west courtyard, which is the top priority of the entire dental store, not only the account room, but also the treasury where a large amount of gold and silver goods are kept.
Entering the study, Wang Dalong sent his subordinates out, and personally cooked tea to greet Master Hao.
Master Hao drank tea, and was not in a hurry to say what he meant, and first asked about the situation of the Wang family: "How is Old Lady Wang lately?" Is Mrs. Wang okay? ”
Wang Dalong couldn't help but sigh again and again when he heard this: "There has been a lot of trouble in the family recently, and my brother must have heard about it, my brothers are making trouble to separate the family, but my mother resolutely refuses to agree, and my father doesn't care about anything, let my mother do it, this is not getting more and more troublesome." And my brothers are all stubble, clamoring to go to the yamen to fight a lawsuit. ”
"Hey," Wang Dalong sighed: "Even if you lose face at home, now you have lost face to the yamen!" This is good, who in the whole Liuhe doesn't laugh at my Wang family? ”
"Since it's a concubine, why don't you divide it? If you are divided, you can't see it and you don't worry about it? What did Mrs. Wang not understand? ”
"If you want to say why the mother is, it's not that she will suffer the loss of the concubine when she is young, and later marry into the Wang family, although the father also has an aunt, but the mother has always been able to use the means, and she has suppressed the aunts and concubines in the family over the years, making it difficult for them to turn over, let alone be a demon."
"Snort~ I just can't think about it."
"Yes, so my brother envies my brother's family, there is no such bad thing, and my sister-in-law is out of luck, think about my sister-in-law is the best."
Master Hao didn't want to continue to discuss this matter, and it wasn't for the bad things of the Wang family that he came today, so he changed the topic and asked directly:
"Your dental business has been doing very well recently, I think there is a reason why you came, tell me why?"
Wang Dalong had already guessed, but he just remembered the Cao family's 'respect', and hesitated a little: "It's not that my younger brother doesn't want to tell my brother, but I don't dare to ......."
Master Hao actually knew it, but since he had made up his mind to come to him, he couldn't be easily fooled. So his eyes widened, and he feigned anger and said, "Okay, you Wang Dalong, have you forgotten how my Hao family helped you back then?" Then you will be the same as your grandson, why, now that you have a backstage support, you forget your kindness? ”
Wang Dalong's face became ugly when he heard this: "No, brother, this ...... My brother really doesn't dare to say it, otherwise he will be worried about his life! ”
Master Hao understood seven or eight points in his heart, thought about it, and changed another way to 'coerce and lure', he smiled, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "It's better to be like this......"
Wang Dalong was reluctant at first, but he still couldn't resist the 'temptation' of this eldest brother, and his expression gradually relaxed.
He weighed it repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Is what my brother said serious?" It's no joke! ”
Hearing his tone, Master Hao felt more confident: "Even if it's not for anyone, it's for my two sons, aren't they also your own sister's flesh and blood?" ”
Wang Dalong thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Okay! Since my brother says so, then I believe in a plate! ”
He subconsciously looked out and made sure that there was no one around, so he leaned in and said in a low voice: "That's the case, the Cao family wants to ......"
Master Hao listened attentively, and gradually his eyes became sharp, this Cao family is really bold! But......
After Wang Dalong finished telling the story, he looked at him again, and also estimated his reaction in his heart: "Presumably my brother has a plan in his heart?" ”
After a while, Master Hao smiled, and his expression returned to normal: "How can you not want to make a profit when you do business?" Then Cao Shuyu is also ruthless! Since his Cao family and Jiang family dare to make a big bet, although my Hao family is not as good as his two families, it is not impossible to follow a little. ”
He stared at Wang Dalong again, and continued: "I will come up with this number, and you will operate it specifically, and you will return ten points if it is done, can you do it well?" ”
Wang Dalong also smiled: "The younger brother is willing to serve his brother." ”
He Wang Dalong smiled, not because of the generous rebates and commissions, but because of the whole thing, the role of the tooth bank can be said to be pivotal. He is confident that he can control it single-handedly, after all, only the tooth shop can grasp the information of the buyer and seller, and the buyer and seller can only complete the final sale through the matchmaking of the tooth shop. With such an asymmetry of information, there is a lot of room for manipulation.
After the two discussed, Master Hao left, and Wang Dalong returned to the front and continued to maneuver among the sellers......
In fact, not only Cao, Jiang, and Hao, in just a few days, the capital of the people is like a shark that smells blood, and all of them are pouring into Liuhe, a small place that is about to be called a 'slaughterhouse'.
And the vast majority of people are still in the dark, including the county magistrate Fang Siwei.
On August 15, Fang Siwei had a banquet in the back garden of the county government for the Mid-Autumn Festival, all of which were his own family, and outsiders only invited the master, which was regarded as a family banquet.
During the banquet, Master Huang fainted some rice wine, and there were four or two taels of crabs, and two of them were in a row, which was so pleasant!
"Old Fang, I'll tell you," he was already blushing, and his speech was a little slurred: "This Shaoxing wine is the southern wine to the pillar...... Belch...... Why is it so good? ”
Fang Siwei was speechless, it seemed that this master was going to talk nonsense again. He turned his head sideways to face the master and winked at his own lady, which meant that the master was about to start his performance again.
Fang Niangzi pursed her lips and snickered, and took over by the way: "Yes, why is it so delicious?" ”
"Because ......" Master's mind has long been confused and out of logic: "Have you heard a sentence, it's called...... What's coming ...... Oh yes, it's called... If you want to be rich, sell wine vinegar. ”
"Puff......" Fang Niangzi couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, the old man has called Liuhe, and he fell in love with the wine shop on the edge of the Chunshan restaurant......
