"Eighth brother, why did you bring back so much cloth, there are knives here..."Su Ren saw the things that Su Ming brought back, and he also realized that these things were definitely not bought from Shanghai County, this was obviously the goods that only the merchants brought.

There are many living rooms in the house, and the portrait of my father hangs in the center of the living room, and there is a set of old tables where Su Ming was a child.

Su Ming heard the eldest brother's inquiry, he couldn't answer when he saw that there were many people in the family, Su Ren saw that he also drove aside the young people who were checking these goods, and Cao Chunrui also noticed that Su Ming's return this time was definitely not easy, so he didn't plan to disturb Su Ming's family, and beckoned everyone to leave.

Soon there were Su Ming and Su Ren left in the living room, as well as Su Ren's wife Cai, and Su Qingping's wife Qin.

Su Ming's eldest nephew, Su Xinwen, stood in the living room and stared at Su Ming, the child was a little born after being separated for too long. Qin was still holding a child in his arms, about a year old, who was born to his fifth sister-in-law after he left, and Su Ming asked if it was a girl.

"You take the news to the side room, and I'll talk to the eighth brother alone!" Su Ren said to his wife and younger siblings in the house.

Cai pulled his son out of the door, and Qin also left with his daughter in his arms, and soon Su Ming and Su Ren were left in the living room.

"Eighth brother, what's going on? How did you come back alone? Su Ren asked puzzled.

"I've had a very unpleasant time in the Shen family for more than a year, and this time I had some conflicts with the Shen family, so I came back!" Su Ming said simply, he wouldn't deliberately hide anything, because he couldn't hide it, and his departure from the Shen family might have a great impact on Erweibao, and the family had to prepare early.

"But did the Su family bully you? I told you a long time ago that the door of the Shen family is not easy to enter... It's also my fault for the big brother, I didn't make you suffer, this matter won't be just settled, tomorrow I will gather all the little flag people to come, and I must give him a look at the Shen family! Su Ren looked at Su Ming, the two of them are brothers, if it weren't for Su Ming going to the Shen family, now these two Weibao probably wouldn't have the surname Su.

"No, since I'm not a person all the way, it's good to have less contact, I'll be in the village in the future, and I'll not go anywhere!" Su Ming said lightly.

"It's good! At least you don't have to worry about food and clothing at home, what happened to the horses and goods you brought back this time? Su Ren asked.

"On the way back, I met someone who didn't have long eyes, and I packed it up, and I brought it back by the way!" Su Ming said lightly.

"You're alone?" Su Ren didn't believe it, it was a miracle that his younger brother could come back alone, and he even grabbed the goods on the way back. He came to Su Ming's side, untied his clothes, and saw that there were no injuries before and after, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been in the Shen family for more than a year, so I'll practice martial arts, and it's okay to deal with two or three little thieves, big brother, you don't have to blame yourself in your heart, everything was chosen by me back then, and now we can live a good life when we come back." Su Ming saw the eldest brother looking at him apologetically and said to him.

"You originally had a good future, as long as you can be admitted to the juren, you can be recommended to be an official, but now everything is gone!

What is the attitude of the Shen family when you leave, Shen Yanning can keep you! "Su Ren is also thinking about Su Ming, he is already a cheap person when he comes back now, but he can't be an official.

"Shen Yuan's 50th birthday, I had a conflict with the Shen family, and then left!" Su Ming said.

"So your household registration is still in the Shen family?" Su Ren asked anxiously.

"Yes!"

Hearing his younger brother say this, Su Ren stood up directly and kept walking around the living room. Su Ming's household registration is still in the Shen family, which is even more uncomfortable than being called a cheap person, not only can he not be an official, he can't even enter the same town, there is no road guide and identity certificate, he is caught but he has to be sent back to the place of household registration, if the Shen family does not accept Su Ming, Su Ming will be sent to be a coolie, and he may not be able to come back in this life.

The Ming Dynasty's management of household registration is so strict, so there will be so many homeless people and rangers. Those heroes of the rivers and lakes can't go home and wander around, and if they really break out of the sky and make a descendant of a big family, they can re-settle down.

"This Shen family is too deceitful! I'll go to Shanghai County tomorrow and ask what the Shen family is going to do? Su Ren said angrily.

Su Ren, as a hundred households of Jinshan Wei, is responsible for the important task of making salt from Wei Zhuang, and he also has to defend against pirates who may come from the East China Sea, so he naturally has some weight, but Su Ming knows that the relationship between the eldest brother and his colleagues is still unstable, and if this thing is not done this time, it will not only hit his self-confidence.

"Big brother, I'll handle my affairs by myself! I know how to do it. Su Ming said to Su Ren.

"In this case, you don't have a household registration in the village, and you won't be able to get the ringing silver... It's okay, big brother, I can raise you no matter what, and you won't have to think about this Shen family matter in the future! Su Ren saw that his younger brother's tone when he spoke was never more confident, and in the end, he was also calm, and did not say anything about provoking the Su family.

Putting aside the Su family, Su Ren told Su Ming about what had happened in Zhuang Shang for more than a year.

"From September last year to the present, Jinshanwei Town has not issued a penny, the military salary was young but only paid 30%, the weapons and equipment in the fort have not been updated, Wei Zhuang ran two more families a few days ago, and now there are only 67 families left in six villages outside the fort." Su Ren said.

"How is the salt pan and what is the town's share?" Su Ming asked about the most important thing.

"We are the same as the Zha Yan Institute every month, which is 30 stones, but last year we had some salt pans occupied by the Zha Yan, and now the monthly salt production is just enough to hand in." Su Ren looked at his younger brother and said.

Even if the father is alive and the younger brother is not yet an adult, Su Ming usually makes the idea when there is something in the family, this time the younger brother came back, to be honest, Su Ren was very happy in his heart, and someone could share the pressure for him.

"How dare you take our salt pans? Aren't you afraid that the adults of a thousand households will ask for guilt? Su Ming asked puzzled.

In addition to the two hundred households in the salt production station, there is also a thousand households in charge, but the thousand households live in Jinshanwei Town, and it is difficult to inspect the bottom twice a year.

"I mentioned it to Lord Qianhu, but he didn't take it seriously, which made Wang Dehua even more arrogant, a few days ago I saw the soldiers of Qiyanbao come to our salt field again!" Wang Dehua that Su Ren said is another hundred households.

The situation of the 100 households in Weizhuang Su Ming didn't have to guess to know what was going on, his father died, and only four brothers were left in the Su family, and the thirteenth was still a child at the time.

I went to the Shen family to leave the eldest brother and fifth brother, how to keep the guard of the hundred households is a problem, you must know that many people are staring at this position.

"Whether we want to ask Zha Yan to go back to Yantian, the key is to have strength, the town does not give us military salaries and equipment, Xinghai has colluded to drive our Su family out of Jinshanwei!" Su Ming said directly.

"So... So what to do? Su Ren couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard this, if it was really Lord Qianhu who deliberately embarrassed himself, then he would be struggling in the future.

"Big brother, you don't have to worry, your hundred households attacked your father's, and the four generations of my Su family killed the Japanese to get these two Weibao, how can a thousand households say that they can withdraw.

As long as you don't have a big handle in the hands of others, no one can do anything to you. Now the key is how to improve the strength of our Weizhuang Institute, and then we will not be afraid of anything! Su Ming looked at the eldest brother and said.

Su Ren nodded, having a younger brother in his heart was a lot easier, although the fifth Su Qingping had some martial arts, but his analysis and understanding of the situation, even his son might not be as good, and now with Su Ming, he doesn't have to be so careful to do a lot of things.

The two were still talking, and at this time, Cai walked in with a food bowl, which was ready for dinner.

The rice porridge made by my sister-in-law tonight was filled with crab sauce that Su Ming loved to eat since he was a child, and the rice was Ryukyu polished rice that could only be eaten during the festival at home, and it was thick and served to Su Ming and Su Ren.

It's ridiculous to say, Su Ren is also a six-grade official of the imperial court, making salt for the Ming Dynasty and fighting the Japanese Kou, but he can only eat some simple meals at each meal. And the Shen family only colluded with pirates to do business, but they were able to live a life of fine clothes and food, which is really magical.

Cai's cooked and carried the child to the table to eat together, their family did not pay too much attention to it, Su Ming's mother and sister-in-law also ate with everyone before going to the Shen family, and there were nearly twenty people in the family at that time.

The fifth brother is a branch of the Su family, so the Qin family lives in a side room and cooks by himself at night, and Su Ren looks at the goods in the living room while eating.

"Eighth brother, what are you going to do with these goods? Want to sell? Su Ren asked.

"Let my sister-in-law watch it tomorrow and divide it for the people in the castle! It's not a valuable thing, you can share it with the elders in the institute, give it to Brother Cao and the fifth brother, and divide the small flags. Su Ming said.

"Okay, it's yours, just as you say. What are you going to do when you go home, or do you want to read? Hearing that Su Ming was going to divide things, Su Ren couldn't help but nodded.

The soldiers in the East and West villages, each family has not been paid for more than half a year, and he can buy some people's hearts, especially to send tea to the elders, which allows him to get into a relationship with each family, and these coarse cloths are very desirable for everyone.

More than a dozen pieces of coarse cloth, but they can make hundreds of sets of clothes, these can make everyone in the guard house change new clothes, Cai's division of the cloth, stabilized the hearts of all the women in the guard, this guard will not be stable.

"If you don't study, I'll go out to drill with you tomorrow with your eldest brother! Then let's go to Yantian! See if there is a way to increase the yield, now it is almost mid-March, and the beginning of May is the time when the salt is the most out of the year, and we can have a better life if we can produce more salt. Su Ming said.

Su Ren knew that his younger brother was no longer able to take the imperial examination, but he still asked. Hearing that Su Ming didn't want to study anymore, he knew that his younger brother had really let go of everything, and the experience of the past year and a half had made his younger brother grow a lot, and coming back from the Shen family, maybe it would be a good thing for his younger brother.
