Chapter 180: Borrowing
Zhou Yi smiled: "What risk?" ”
Zhou Jin thought about it again and again, and said softly: "I'm worried that the eldest brother will instruct Tian Wenhao to forge land deeds, house deeds and other contracts to defraud Qianqiu Treasury's money. ”
Zhou Yi was silent for a long time and asked, "Then Su Shi has a way to deal with it?" ”
Zhou Jin shook his head slowly: "Young Master Su is not familiar with the affairs of the court, and he has not thought of this section yet. ”
Zhou Yi was a little puzzled: "Didn't you tell him about the hidden dangers?" ”
Zhou Jin sighed lightly: "No." Because even if he told Su Gongzi about this matter, he was afraid that he would be helpless, so why let him add to his troubles. ”
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked slowly, "What does the emperor want to do?" ”
Zhou Jin muttered: "The Covenant Division is the yamen that manages the contract, and all contracts signed involving land, land, property, houses, bulk sales, mortgages, etc., need to be registered with the Covenant Division. And the Covenant Division happens to be in charge of the eldest brother, so it is easy for Tian Wenhao to do things on the contract. ”
"What does the emperor mean?"
Zhou Jinbei gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Erchen wants to take over the management of the covenant for the time being. ”
This request did not surprise Zhou Yi, but it made him a little embarrassed.
"Do you know what it means to do that? Is it worth it for Sue? ”
Zhou Jin shook his head lightly and said, "I am not doing this for Su Gongzi, but for Daqian, so even if I offend the eldest brother, I can't care about it." ”
Zhou Yi looked at her meaningfully and smiled, "Really? ”
Zhou Jin hurriedly replied: "Erchen's heart, please ask my father to know it." ”
Zhou Yi sighed: "Your heart is naturally known, but the Covenant Division is subordinate to the Ministry of Households, and the supervisors of the Covenant Division are just officials from the five grades, so they are all appointed by the Ministry of Households. ”
Zhou Yi's words are not unreasonable, if the Son of Heaven directly orders the removal of an official from the fifth grade, not to mention that this official has no mistakes or omissions, not only will he be laughing and generous, but it is impossible to get the support of the ministers.
Zhou Jin also knew that this matter was tricky, but he couldn't think of any way, and when he was discouraged, Zhou Yi comforted: "You should still discuss this matter with Su Shi first, maybe he will have some way to eliminate this hidden danger." ”
Zhou Jin hummed softly, but the sorrow on his face did not disappear at all, and he obviously didn't have much expectation for this.
Although it was late at night, Su Shi did not go to bed to rest as usual, but stood in front of the window and quietly watched the rain outside the window.
A gust of wind blew, sending the rain into the room and blowing on his face, and Su Shi suddenly felt a burst of coolness.
The coolness brought him to his senses, and he immediately took two steps back, wiped the rain from his face with his sleeve, and was about to close the window, when the door was pushed open.
Su Zhou walked in with a pot of wine and two wine glasses, and when he saw Su Shi standing in front of the window, he couldn't help but joke: "Since ancient times, literati have liked to be sad in spring and autumn, watching snow and listening to rain, but I didn't expect that the second brother also had this Yaxing." ”
Su Shi said with a smile: "Your second brother and I have also written that the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze and rolling up the bead curtain. ”
Su Zhou put the wine jug and wine glass on the table, and said disapprenously: "The more I look at you, the more I feel that the atmosphere of the philistine is more than the spirit of the literati. ”
Su Shi did not deny it: "If I don't have the spirit of a philistine, like those literati, in a few months, the more than 100 people in the general's mansion can only drink the northwest wind." ”
Since handing over the burden of the General's Mansion to Su Shi, the pressure on Su Zhou's shoulders has been much less, and his mood has become more relaxed, he sat down, pointed to the wine glass in front of him, and said: "There is nothing to do today, and it is rainy, sit down and drink two glasses to celebrate the opening of your quality warehouse." ”
Su Shi hurriedly said: "This wine is very strong, let's eat and drink at the same time." ”
Su Zhou picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass, and the aroma of wine suddenly overflowed the room.
Su Zhou's face was intoxicated, and he sighed: "The wine brewed by the second brother is fragrant and sweet, and it is worthy of being the best in the wine. ”
"The emperor's will has come down?" Su Shi hurriedly asked, "When will you leave?" ”
Su Zhou nodded: "Your Majesty has made an order, and we will leave in half a month." ”
Su Shi hurriedly shouted, "Brother Lin." ”
Lin Mo's rough voice sounded outside the door: "Second son, what are your orders?" ”
Su Shi said: "You ask the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes, and I want to have a few drinks with my eldest brother." ”
Lin Mo took the order and left, and Su Shi picked up the wine glass and said, "Big brother, I'll give you a glass first, and I wish you a smooth journey." ”
The wine brewed by Su Shi is much stronger than the wine on the market, and when it was brewed a few days ago, Su Zhou was drunk once, so he only dared to drink in a small cup of three yuan.
But even with a small cup, after a cup of belly, the liquor went down his throat, but the wine was already on his head, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath and exclaimed, "Good wine, this is the wine that a man should drink." ”
Su Shi knew the strength of this wine, so he didn't drink it all at once like Su Zhou. He drank very slowly, but in Su Zhou's eyes, he was like a woman drinking, slightly displeased.
Seeing the displeasure on Su Zhou's face, Su Shi sighed: "This wine is easy to get drunk, and you get drunk faster when you drink on an empty stomach, and if you are so anxious, we can only fall asleep after a few glasses." ”
Su Zhou also knew the power of this wine, and understood that Su Shi was telling the truth, the expression on his face eased slightly, and then he couldn't help asking, "What name is the second brother going to give this wine?" ”
Su Shi smiled: "Isn't the name of the wine ready-made?" ”
"Existing?"
Su Shi said: "A poem will enter the wine has shocked the capital, this wine is named will enter the wine, the poem wine has the same name, naturally do not worry about the sales of this wine." ”
Su Zhou looked at him in a daze for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed: "Even you may use that ancient famous article for business, and you don't admit that you are full of philistine." ”
"I'm not denying it." Su Shi got up and poured wine for Su Zhou, and said: "What's more, I made this poem, I made the wine, what can other people say." ”
Speaking of this, Su Shi's expression suddenly became serious, and he picked up his wine glass and asked, "Big brother, how many scouts like Brother Lin are there in our mansion?" ”
Seeing Su Shi's expression became serious, Su Zhou also put away his ridicule and said, "There are ten people, what do you want to do?" ”
"I want to stay with all ten of them."
"I originally wanted to leave these ten people to you, you are now in the whirlpool, if there is no capable person around you, I am afraid it will be difficult to support yourself."
Su Shi nodded and said, "Thank you eldest brother for thinking so much about me." ”
This time, Su Shi did not drink slowly, but drank it all like Su Zhou, and then felt that his face was slightly hot.
After putting down the wine glass, Su Zhou stared at him and asked, "Why did you leave these ten people?" ”
Su Shi said lightly: "Because these ten people are of great use to me, and they will come in handy soon." ”
