Volume 1 Chapter 183 Turning Sorrow into Joy
After learning about the situation of Zhangcha, Xu Song said gently: "He'er, go back and rest, it's been hard these days!" ”
Xu He nodded and saluted: "Uncle is still concerned about his body, don't work too hard!" ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Song's mouth, and he closed his eyes slightly and agreed.
When Xu He came outside, he found that the maid and the young lady were waiting outside with a group of rough girls.
Each of the girls had a box in their hands.
When the maid saw Xu He come out, her eyes immediately bent into a crescent moon and said, "Young lady He, these are the old lady's hard work, so we specially sent them to your house." ”
Xu He nodded, only said hard work and stopped looking at those boxes.
Seeing this, the little maid pursed her lips and said: "These gold and silver jewelry, books, and medicinal materials were decided by Madame after spending a lot of thought and inquiring in many ways, and he was good, so he didn't look at it, so he nodded!" It was in vain that Madame's good intentions were wasted. ”
Not to mention that Xu He took these maids back to his home on Shisheng Street.
At this time, Xu Song's bedroom has been silent since Xu He left, and none of the four people in the room have spoken.
After a long time, Xu Dai finally couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said with a stalk around his neck: "Big brother, what do you want to do with your younger brother, whatever you want, my younger brother is indeed wrong this time!" ”
Zhang Panlong glanced at the little uncle who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered in his heart.
Wrong? Now that you know that you are wrong, it is ridiculous to still look like an invulnerable scoundrel.
But she was born in the Zhang family, a big family in Hailing, and has been the head of the Xu family for many years, so she naturally knows the truth of being inseparable.
In the final analysis, Xu Dai is still her husband's brother, and even if she is dissatisfied as a foreign surname, it is not suitable to speak at this time.
Thinking of this, she got up and said to her husband, "Master, I'll go and see if the medicine is good!" ”
After speaking, Xu Dai, who knelt on the ground, walked out.
After his wife left, Xu Song turned his head sideways and looked at Xu Dai's father and son with a cold gaze: "Wrong? What's wrong with you? You have so much ability, you can already make friends with the people in the palace, how can you be wrong? ”
Xu Dai hung his head and was silent, obviously unhappy in his heart.
That's right, I did think a little about myself this time, but I didn't fall behind in the clan.
Big brother, what does this mean?
Hold on and don't let go?
Compared with Xu Dai's indignation, his son Xu Luan jumped out directly and said: "Uncle, you have also heard that the price of private salt we give is six cents, but those black-hearted bastards are set at two cents, this is not our original intention." ”
"If it weren't for Dou Matong and these people, we would definitely be able to do this, and then it would be an income of 100,000 yuan a year, our Xu family ......"
"Bastard!" Xu Song suddenly became furious, "Do you still think that your fault is the price of salt?" Idiot! ”
"Uncle!" Xu Luan, who was scolded as a fool, blushed and wanted to defend.
Xu Song pointed at Xu Luan and said to his younger brother: "Look at it, what kind of bastard thing do you raise, if you don't have a good brain, you will be an honest rich man at home, you have to go out and toss, this time the Xu family was almost wiped out, understand?" Extermination! ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem! ......" Xu Song was emotional, and suddenly coughed violently, Xu Dai and his son were stunned on the spot for a while, and they didn't know what to do when they stepped forward to help pat their backs and smooth their breath.
Especially Xu Luan, standing in the middle of the house directly with his neck crossed, he didn't mean to move at all.
On the contrary, Xu Dai, who was kneeling, saw that his eldest brother was angry like this, and finally relieved himself from the initial shock, got up and hugged his eldest brother, and helped pat his back and feed water.
After a while, Xu Song calmed down, he looked at Xu Luan in disappointment and said, "You go out!" ”
Xu Luan was taken aback by the coldness in his tone, and looked at Xu Song as if asking.
"Get out, do you hear that?" Xu Song looked at his own nephew coldly, "Someone! ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Yong walked in with someone outside the door.
Xu Song pointed at Xu Luan: "Lock up this evil obstacle in the West Cross Courtyard, except for delivering water and food on weekdays, he is not allowed to see anyone!" ”
Xu Dai was shocked when he heard this: "Big brother! ”
Who knew that Xu Song didn't look at him at all, glared at the hesitant Xu Yong and said, "Deaf?" ”
When Xu Yong heard this, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates and said, "Quick, take Gongzi Luan to the West Cross Courtyard." ”
Xu Luan was controlled by others, and he was immediately furious: "Uncle, what's wrong with me, why are you locking me up?" Uncle ......"
Xu Yong and the others didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly dragged him out of the house.
Xu Luan saw that he was about to be dragged away, and struggled in the courtyard and shouted: "Eccentric, you eccentric, you all think that Xu He is stronger than me, where is he strong, I am the bloodline of the great sect, he is a cheap species!" You'll regret it sooner or later! ”
The sound grew farther and farther until it could no longer be heard.
Xu Dai's face was pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Song turned his head and glared at his younger brother: "Do you also think I'm biased?" ”
Xu Dai was speechless, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Xu Song pushed him away, lay down, looked at the top of the tent and said leisurely: "What do you think of Xu He's good policy of salt administration?" ”
Xu Dai snorted twice, and finally replied, "It's not good, how great does he think Chen Hua is?" What can I change in the last notebook? ”
Xu Song sneered: "You are not even as good as a child!" ”
Xu Dai was scolded so that his face turned blue and red for a while, and he said with a stalk on his neck: "Then please ask the eldest brother to solve the puzzle!" ”
Xu Song said: "That kid Salt Division's examination of public law is an upright conspiracy, and the officials of the Salt Division have always been unwelcome, but anyone who still has some thoughts about his career will never go to the Salt Division, but he single-handedly opened up the ascending channel of the Salt Division, and assessed the officials of the Salt Division. That is to say, either you want a future, or you want your life, these two are given to you, how do you choose? ”
"I have accumulated a lot of disadvantages in the salt industry, the officials are full of private pockets, and they are in collusion with the lower-level officials, and the two Huai are obviously under such good conditions, but they still make the people resentful, why?"
"Think about it!"
Xu Dai was still unconvinced: "I'm talking about what [Gang Yun Fa] I'm talking about." ”
Xu Song's eyebrows were even more disappointed in his younger brother: "The best thing is the Gang Movement Method." Chen Hua is indeed a seven-grade county order, and people are soft-spoken, but let me tell you, on this script, except for the emperor, all ministers will agree with this law, do you believe it or not? ”
Xu Dai was stunned, in his opinion, if he was the first assistant of the cabinet, a small county order would dare to point fingers at the country's major policies, and even if he didn't reprimand him, even if he gave him face, how could he still adopt it.
Xu Song sighed, thinking about how stupid this person is, but after all, he is his own brother, so he helped him sort it out and said: "Think about it, the hereditary salt merchants, and the salt merchants who raise salt in full, not to mention far, after two generations, these merchants are the richest people in my Great Wei Dynasty." ”
"Who doesn't want to have their family's name in the book?"
"The crown prince, the king of Qi, the first assistant, the second assistant, who doesn't want to use the money earned by the gang merchants to cultivate their own power?"
"When the time comes, those hoarders who are like rats crossing the street will be able to make money standing and no longer have to be sneaky, do you think they and the people behind them will agree with this law with both hands?"
Xu Dai's face finally changed when he heard this.
He was shocked and said: "Before Xu He left, what did the eldest brother say to write a letter to Beijing, what is this ......?" ”
"One letter to Qin Shoufu, Chen Hua's official position is too low after all, I'll help talk about it!"
"One is to Sanfu Wu Xingbang, asking him to help speak in the cabinet and strive to pass this law."
"There is also a letter to the eunuch Wang Ji who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch!"
Xu Dai was shocked: "Wang Ji? Isn't he You Xiao's godfather? This time, our cooperation with You Xiao ......"
Xu Song sneered: "At this time, pulling Wang Ji is pulling our majesty, he wants to swallow it alone, and now he has no chance, then let's give him another chance to earn silver, but this time it is to take us to earn it together." ”
"Our Xu family is also going to become a businessman!"
Xu Dai looked at the eldest brother with a shocked face: "This, this is what Xu He said about turning worries into joys?" ”
Xu Song said lightly: "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
