Suzhou, Swallow Dock, living room.

"Childe has arrived."

Hearing the voice of the little guy outside, the four ministers and Ah Bi who were sitting in the seats hurriedly got up and stood up.

A moment later, a young man came to the door, dressed in a sky-blue robe, like a jade tree, extremely handsome.

"Childe." The four ministers clasped their fists and shouted.

"Well, sit down." Murong Fu smiled, then sat directly in front of him, followed the example of his former father, picked up the teacup, gently picked up the lid, and smelled the tea.

The little yellow cat crawled along its back, climbed to its shoulders, circled it in a ball, and continued to sleep.

Originally, Bao Bao, who still had a little complaint, saw Murong Fu now, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, he realized that there was really such a mysterious thing as temperament in this world.

The young man in front of him is that he has grown up, and he is a few years older than Abi, so it can be said that he is very young. But his eyes were as bright as the starry sky, and at a glance, Bao Wei almost had the illusion that he was about to fall into the abyss.

There seems to be something different about the young man, and he can't tell or explain. If I had to describe it, it was a temperament similar to self-confidence.

Strong self-confidence gives the young people in front of them a unique attraction.

"Childe!" Boss Deng Baichuan got up and greeted.

According to the rules, he will report the situation first.

"Brother Deng, sit and talk." Murong Fu raised his hand to signal.

Deng Baichuan was stunned for a moment, very surprised: "Son? ”

But when he looked at Murong Fu's eyes, he only felt that the child's hole seemed to reflect the heavens and the earth, insignificant and insignificant, and his eyes were peaceful, but he could look directly at all the secrets in his heart.

When the kind words came to his mouth, he swallowed it immediately, and hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down, but subconsciously only sat halfway, leaned forward, and said respectfully.

"Son, according to your orders, the business that cooperated with Shaolin and other big factions when the lord was in the north before, restaurants, dart shops, salt goods, land, manors, etc., have all been sold, excluding the condolences to the local elderly, his subordinates and the relationship between the government, a total profit of 13,842 taels of silver."

……

Half an hour later, after everyone finished reporting, Murong Fu was in a good mood. Over the years, the ancestors have worked very hard, and at this moment, it is the time when the Murong family has the most silver storage, with a huge amount of 200,000 taels.

Of course, it is also the time when the Murong family's property is the least, and in the future, the family's silver will be spent one tael or one tael.

Calculate it casually, in addition to providing Le Ye with food and drink, he will have to spend hundreds of years on Jinhua.

"Childe, I don't know what we should do next?" 'Jiangnan's first palm' Deng Baichuan asked carefully.

For some reason, in the face of this teenager, he even felt a lot of pressure than the old man.

What has happened in the past few months? Could it be that the ancestor of the Murong family has appeared?

Murong Fu thought for a while and said, "First: Next, your four elder brothers will press the silver and property into the inner treasury and hand them over to Ah Bi for care. Second: fully cooperate with Azhu and grasp the intelligence information of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

】

I hope that in the future, I will be able to know about the big and small events that happened in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the promotion of officials, the details of the gentry and wealthy households, the business, and all the forces behind the cities and prefectures. ”

Bao Wei asked honestly: "Son, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and money, why?" ”

Murong Fu smiled: "We live here, why don't we control here?" The premise of everything is that we are ready for everything, understand? ”

The four retainers looked at each other, nodded, and knew a few words, but together they didn't seem to understand, and they didn't know what to do.

Later, he explained some details and wrote them down on paper in the special ciphertext of the Murong family.

Waiting for the four of them to leave, Abi stepped forward to pour tea: "Son-in-law." ”

Murong Fu nodded, the four ministers were much older than him, and their martial arts were not weak, and they all had their own family business, family members and children, and it was normal to have a little Jiujiu in their hearts.

But Abi is different from Azhu, she has been by his and his father's side since she was a child, she teaches carefully, her ability is good, and she is a girl, so she can only rely on him.

"Abi, you have to do a lot of things next. First: I usually pay attention to taking in some orphans, boys, girls, and sick people can be brought back, and I personally send people to teach.

Second: In the future, a contribution system will be established in the Murong family, and with the contribution, you can exchange for various martial arts cheats, gold and silver money, family protection, strength support, and ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Murong Fu continued: "There is also an elixir that prolongs life and changes the root bones, but this one is only shown to people who have made great contributions." ”

Ah Bi was stunned: "Son, there is only Shaolin Dahuan Dan in our family to prolong life and change the root bones, and there is only one, which is left by the master to save your life."

Also, how should this contribution system be counted as contribution? What are those things that can be regarded as contributions to the Murong family? ”

Murong Fu took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "The contribution system is not in a hurry, at present, the strength of my Murong family is still too weak, in the future, I am going to build a talent classification, martial arts, mathematics, reading, carpenter, blacksmith, shipbuilding, shipbuilding, etc.

At that time, whether it is a branch of my Murong family, a side branch, or a servant retainer, as long as I have the ability to improve, I will contribute. ”

Abi's eyes lit up, this is really interesting. As far as she knew, some branches of the Murong family lived in the swallow dock and waited for death, because the Murong family wanted to be the head of the family and had nothing to do with them.

And many of those side branches need to work hard to maintain their lives, even if they have the ability, but if they are not prominent, they are of little use. The world has been peaceful for many years, and there are so many ways to make money in Suzhou and Hangzhou, unless the ability is beyond ordinary people, everyone can only live hard.

If you see others getting promoted and getting rich, I believe they will definitely work hard.

"Son, the Murong family will definitely carry forward in your hands!" Abi stretched out her little hand and clenched it into a fist, her eyes shining brightly.

"Meow!"

"Alright, Abi, the glory belongs to you!" Murong Fu said with a smile.

Abi Qiao's face flushed, and she directly lowered her head in fright.

"Go down, pay attention to rest, if you feel a sore back and stomach pain in the past two days, remember to touch Le Ye more." Murong Fu got up and rubbed her head.

Abi's body was shocked, and even her hands quickly turned red, how did Childe know that she was coming? Then he hurriedly ran away.

After everyone left, Murong Fu's gentle eyes began to deepen.

There is no one under him!

But fortunately, everyone is very obedient, and if you exercise slowly, maybe it will be useful in the future.

No one is born to know that the wind rises at the end of Qingping, or stops at the grass, or howls for nine days.

Maybe once an ordinary person, willing to work hard and force himself, will become the supreme in the world, a peerless famous general, and a capable minister in the future: such as Liu Bang, Xiao He, Guan Yu......

This man is all forced out.

……

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085).

Zhao Xu ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Gao hung the curtain to listen to the government, and used Sima Guang as the prime minister, Wang Anshi, and the new law of Wang Xiang was almost all abolished, and the history is called "Yuan Right Change".

The following year, Wang Anshi died of illness in Zhongshan.

……

In the evening, on the streets of Suzhou, a skinny beggar was sitting in the corner, pitifully looking at the steaming steamed buns and steamed buns in the distance, and swallowing his saliva wildly.

White noodles are really a luxury and desire for him now.

As a beggar, he should have gone up to beg, but the old man was kind enough to give him a steamed bun.

But he knew that this was the territory of the beggars, and if they were not their people, they would be beaten if they went out to beg, and they might even be caught, break their legs and feet, and be 'their own people'.

The little beggar looked at the passers-by in confusion, laughing and scolding, eager to calm down, but they shouldn't be hungry enough to burn, right?

"Little brother, are you from the beggar gang?" The delicate and crisp voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

The little beggar looked up and found a green-shirted girl standing in front of him, whose skin was whiter and more beautiful than his uncle, who had been dead for more than ten days.

"It's not." The little beggar was concise and to the point.

If you talk too much, you'll be hungrier, but if you don't say it, you might get beaten, a bunch of dogs.

"That's just right, would you like to come with me? I'll do the work for you, feed you, and teach you the craft, but you have to be obedient. The girl stretched out her hand and said in a coquettish voice.

The little beggar looked at this hand, like the white jade worn by those members, white and greasy, and said after a while: "As long as you give me something to stutter, I can kill people!" ”

After living on the streets for so many days, he clearly knows one thing, there is no pie in this world. There will not be a great good man who will give him money to eat and drink for nothing.

"Hee-hee~ Then you can come with me." The girl turned and walked away.

The little beggar struggled to follow, hungry, but hopeful.

"What's your name?"

"Chen Fei."

"How did you become a beggar at such a young age, what about your father?"

"Do you know Wang Xiang's 'Green Seedling Method'?"

"I know, my lord also said that this strategy is good, the court lends money to the people, but only charges two cents of interest, which is much cheaper than some people."

"Oh, did you know that those dog officials forced the peasants to borrow it? And it's four cents of interest, do you know that you have to pay 30% of the hardship tax before borrowing? Grab things and sell land if you can't pay back the money? My father and mother gave me the last bite and starved to death. The little beggar said.

"Ah, then you are pathetic! Don't worry, come with me, and you won't be afraid of starvation in the future. The girl comforted.

"Thank you."

.......

Yanziwu, Chen Fei, who was thoroughly brushed by an uncle with a brush from top to bottom and from the inside out, changed into a clean linen dress and came to a large room.

There are many tables and chairs in the room, which are neatly arranged.

Then he and many people, both men and women, not very old, arranged to sit neatly, and he was short, just sitting in the first row.

After a while, a scholar came in, holding a ring ruler in his hand, and the room was quiet.

"You are very lucky, from today onwards, you will be a part of the Murong family.

Murong Gongzi gave you three years, and in these three years, I will teach you to read and read, and other teachers will teach you to practice martial arts, mathematics, craftsmen and other crafts.

No matter which subject you take, as long as you perform well, you can become a retainer of the Murong family. Of course, if you don't behave well, you can only become a servant who serves people, and there will be a whisper to teach you the rules.

By the way, all your food, drink, housing and transportation in the Murong family will be recorded and summarized, and the money will be counted, and the interest will be four percent. As long as the money is paid off, you can be freed from the status of slaves. ”

"Did you hear me?"

"Clear!" The children shouted that they could eat enough, let alone study, and they could eat.

Chen Fei in the front row shouted even louder.

This kind of learning opportunity was not available before, but now it is in front of me, and of course I am excited.

He's going to be a fool!

……

Swallow dock ferry, a small boat came from afar, a slender girl was standing on the boat, white clothes and white skirts, the chest was obviously undulating, just the right girl curve, pure and soft.

The boat docked, and Ah Bi stepped forward to greet him: "Miss Biao, I am free today." ”

Wang Yuyan nodded and hurriedly said, "Is my cousin here?" My mother watched closely these days, and it was not easy for her to come over. ”

Abi laughed: "Miss Biao, you are still a girl who has not left the cabinet, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Wang Yuyan was suddenly ashamed, and her face was flushed.

Ever since she was a child, her mother was extremely disgusted with men, so there was no man in Mantuo Villa. Coupled with the extremely strict family education, there are very few men she has seen.

Among these men, only his cousin Murong Fu is handsome and chic, and he is ambitious, he is practicing hard every day, and he is different from ordinary boys in speaking and acting.

The girl is pregnant with spring, her feelings are always poetry, and she is sensible early, so she naturally likes Murong Fu.

It's a pity that his mother always thinks that the Murong family is dreaming, so she keeps him away from his cousin, and even often locks her up, so she can see her cousin very few times a year.

But she hasn't been idle for so long, she knows that her cousin likes martial arts, so she memorized all the cheats at home, so that she can talk more when they meet.

"Miss Cousin, my son has been in retreat for a long time this time, and I just want to take a break, and I'm fishing by the lake, come with me." Abi greeted him warmly.

She also likes Miss Cousin to become a lady, so that she will at least not be bullied if she becomes a concubine.

"Uh-huh!" Wang Yuyan replied happily, a heart had already flown into the distance.

I don't know if my cousin was sad because of my uncle's death.

......

To the east of the swallow dock, Murong Fu stood on the deck with his hands in his hands, and the fishing rod in front of him did not move at all.

In the distance, there are many cats hanging on the branches, waiting with anticipation for the fish to take the bait so that they can have a full meal.

At this time, with the order of a little yellow cat at the top of the tree, three menacing big cats rushed up to beat the noisy cat.

The surroundings were quiet again.

Over the past few months, the boy's eyes have become deeper, and his handsome cheeks have a more mature and steady temperament.

The sunlight shone through the fog and shone on half of Murong Fu's body, and at this moment Murong Fu added a little more focus and warmth.

Such a temperament really has a fatal attraction for a girl who is in the flower season.

Wang Yuyan stayed directly for a while, and only then did she recover as her body was shaken, stepped forward, and squatted slightly: "Cousin." ”

Murong Fu turned his head and saw Wang Yuyan, and was immediately overjoyed: "Cousin, you're here, go, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go home and talk about it." ”

As he spoke, Murong Fu kicked the fishing rod into the lake with one kick.

originally wanted to come out to rest and rest, but Le Ye came over with a group of cats to wait for food. Then there is no fish for half a day, and more importantly, the eyes of these cats seem to despise themselves.

I can't bear it!

This fish, don't catch it!

"Cousin, did you catch a fish?" Wang Yuyan asked curiously.

"It's unfortunate that you're here, the fish just happened to eat the hook, and if you catch that one, you will catch two more than three." Murong Fu smiled, as warm as jade.

"Oh, my cousin is amazing."

After a moment, Wang Yuyan fell into deep thought, and something seemed wrong.
