Chapter 40: Calculations to Themselves
Zheng Tong had already made up his mind to negotiate a good deal with Wen Gu.
But where would other families give him this opportunity first, the Zheng family has ears in the mansion, and other families also have it in the Zheng house.
Zheng Tong was preparing a meeting gift for Aunt Taishou, and the masters of each family came to visit Zheng's house one after another.
Zheng Tong couldn't hide it when he saw it, so he didn't hide it at all, and politely invited him into the main hall.
As soon as the old men who had been rolling for half their lives on the scene looked at each other, their thoughts were all revealed to each other, and everyone sat down separately in the main hall.
Master Zheng sat in the hall and spoke first: "A few people must have heard that Liu Zhi, who couldn't splash the water, was scolded by his own aunt. ”
"Yes, then Liu Zhi is really too muddy, when will this Tongcheng be ruled by him? Now that I have a little power in my hands, I don't know how thick the sky is! Another old man surnamed Wang spoke, opening his mouth to have a fiery temper.
The old man of the Sun family took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You can't say that, this Tongcheng is still too guarded." ”
Master Wang said disdainfully: "He is a fart master, so we don't know how much ability Liu Shu has?" If he is really capable, Yang Wantang can ride on his neck for so many years? As for the anger of the surname Yang for so many years? ”
Master Sun didn't raise his eyes, and said, "Yes, now that Yang Wantang has finally fallen, it's your turn to ride on the neck of Taishou to play prestige." ”
Master Wang put the teacup in his hand and said angrily: "Eh, the surname is Sun, what you said is not authentic, what's the matter?" Didn't you come here today for this? Either you turn around and go home, we still have to get down to business. ”
Master Sun replied: "The business is also what Master Zheng said, if your Lord Wang sets up the table to do the right thing, I can't avoid leaving, how can you talk to me?" ”
The two masters of Sun Wang, the temper in and out of the words is not going to the current thing.
The Wang family started as a Cao shipper, and in the early years, they picked up the business that leaked out of the fingers of the Cao Gang to make a living, and later the Southern Chu court issued a ban on the Cao Gang, and it became extinct in the territory of Southern Chu within three years. The Wang family, who originally lived with the Cao Gang, relied on their offerings in Yang Wantang and their familiarity with waterways and transportation over the years, and they took over this business from the imperial court.
Since then, it has turned over, and it is not the same.
And the Sun family, who is in the business of casinos and restaurants, has never dealt with the official family on the surface, and is also one of the few big households in this Tongcheng who does not associate with Yang Wantang.
Yang Wantang is wearing the skin of the imperial court, and this kind of business is not easy to interfere with. At the beginning, he also borrowed Liu's hand to find the bad luck of the Sun family on the surface. However, the Sun family is full of outlaws, and he has found bad luck today, and he will secretly demolish Yang Wantang's field tomorrow.
The two sides fought back and forth a few times, although Yang Wantang had a slight upper hand in comparison, but after all, they had their own injuries. The Sun family's work was thankless for Yang Wantang, and the Sun family didn't think about expanding their business and doing anything else. The two sides sat down and talked about it, and then they each reined in and stopped talking about each other.
But where is Yang Wantang so easy to get along with.
After the things on the face have been negotiated, the anger in my heart can not be bearable. Yang Wantang reminded the Wang family several times and asked them to find the bad luck of the Sun family, but his own hands were not his own trouble.
The Wang family relied on Yang Wantang, and they could only do it, but they were all moving on the skin, and they didn't dare to move their muscles and bones. The Sun family didn't know about this, but Master Sun didn't want to bump into him Yang Wantang. sprinkled this anger on the head of the Wang family.
The beams of the two families were thus concluded.
At the moment in the Zheng family's mansion, seeing that the two masters, Sun and Wang, were pulling their bows and drawing strings, and they were about to tear their faces, Zheng Tong hurriedly coughed twice and called "two" twice.
Seeing Zheng Tong speak, Master Wang, who had already stood up, flicked his sleeves and sat back down. Master Sun also calmly picked up the tea cup again and ate tea.
Zheng Tong cleared his throat and said: "Back then, the Yang thief was extremely evil, not to mention the oppression of me, but also coerced Taishou, causing many disasters in Tongcheng, not to mention business, even if we are alive, we are also frightened, you are not happy in your heart, I also have it." ”
Zheng Tong said, his eyes glanced around in front of the masters on the spot, and finally fell on Master Sun's face: "You all have some complaints about Taishou, but none of us know how powerful Yang Thief is." Liu Taishou has been lying on the salary for many years, withholding it, and once he acted, he took Tongcheng back, returned a peace to everyone, and returned a blue sky to the people. This ability is something you and I don't have. ”
These old men all understood. Zheng Tong's words are to set the direction for them.
They have to treat Liu Shu as too respectful.
But Zheng Tong would never let go of such a big business. Otherwise, they wouldn't have seen the boxes piled up in the courtyard when they entered.
It seems that the gift prepared by Zheng Tong is heavier than that given to Liangzhou Jun.
But since they are here at this time, they must not let Zheng Tongyi eat alone. Everyone has made up their minds, and they are not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Zheng Tong to sing this play by himself.
Zheng Tong knew even more clearly in his heart, his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he said it, and he picked up all the things that Liu Zhi had done over the years, and re-told it from the perspective of being too conservative and advancing with retreat and foresight.
Zheng Tong came as soon as he opened his mouth, he himself felt that in this kind of scene, as long as he was obedient and embarrassed to listen, there was nothing to be embarrassed to say.
All the old men echoed one after another, and after Zheng Tong finished speaking, the words circled, and then returned to Aunt Taishou.
"Taishou Kai Gongqi, that is to think about Tongcheng with all his might, this aunt is too guarding, relying on her identity as an elder, and relying on the credit that Taishou can take. If you want to defeat the Taishou, it won't do you any good. ”
When Master Wang heard this, he hurriedly said, "It's wrong, Master Zheng?" Let's talk behind closed doors, the past is good for you and me, and now what's so good about this public inspection? ”
Zheng De said in a long voice and said, "Master Wang, how many loopholes did the Yang thief take advantage of in the previous pass, can you still mention this matter in the boundary of Tongcheng under the control of Mrs. Liu?" ”
Master Wang said: "Then we can't say that the public inspection is good!" ”
Zheng De shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether the public inspection is good or not, the key is who is in charge of the public inspection." Taishou is more than forty years old this year, and his aunt is more or less over half a hundred years old. Since Liu Taishou wants to open a public inspection, let's help him open it. ”
