The guest room of the Xu Mansion was quiet for a while, Xu Da looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said pitifully,

"Your Highness...."

Zhu Xiongying raised his finger and stopped Xu Da's words, Xu Da hurriedly closed his mouth, Zhu Xiongying continued,

"General Xu, there are three major things to do after Gu succeeds to the throne, one of which will be done by you."

Being so clearly assigned by His Royal Highness the Holy Sun, Xu Da was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly responded,

"Your Highness! The people up and down the Xu Mansion are dispatched by you! ”

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said,

"It's not the people from the Xu Mansion, but you, General Xu."

Xu Da was stunned when he heard this, just now he thought that he had misheard the words of His Royal Highness the Holy Sun.

No matter how benevolent His Highness is, even if Xu Da has already seen that His Royal Highness the Holy Sun is here to buy people's hearts,

But according to the rules of the court, Xu Da himself is basically equivalent to political death.

Even if His Majesty or His Royal Highness wants to reuse his own family, he should be promoted from the younger generations of the Xu family.

But hearing that His Royal Highness the Holy Sun meant to reactivate himself, Xu Da, who had already been disheartened, raised a little flame in his heart at this moment,

Xu Da has lived a long life, although he has reached his twilight years, the flame in his chest has never been extinguished.

If he has a choice, he wants to show his strength more than the children in the family.

After figuring out this section, Xu Da looked at Zhu Xiongying excitedly and said,

"Your Highness, if you think that my old bones can still be used, then you can use them!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,

"General Xu, after that, the matter of the industrial merchant Jia will be handed over to you to deal with."

"This..."Nope

Just Xu Da was stunned in place, and the rest of the people in the room, Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Gaochi, also focused on Xu Da's body.

His Royal Highness the Holy Sun really doesn't play cards according to the routine, if it weren't for Xu Da knowing Zhu Xiongying too well, he would still think that Zhu Xiongying was humiliating himself,

The great nobleman who stepped down from the position of the dignified prince of the country actually went to be in charge of industrial businessmen.

Even if Your Majesty and His Royal Highness attach great importance to this industrial revolution, it is a commercial matter after all.

Prejudice against businessmen is not formed overnight, and naturally it will not be eliminated in a short time.

Like the Chang family, naturally there is no objection to this matter, after all, what Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu did in the early years was not a shady deed,

In addition, they are Zhu Xiongying's irons, let them do it, and they will naturally do it.

But in the end, the industrial revolution lacks a leader, and the Chang family may be a good general, but they are definitely not a good coach.

is lacking an old fox like Xu Da to open up joints in various places, not to mention 100%, at least let the central government's decree have five or six points to pass on.

"General Xu, what's the matter? What are you not willing to do? ”

Zhu Xiong's English became cold, Xu Da hurriedly reacted, shook his head and said,

"No, no, Your Highness, that's not what the old man meant."

Xu Da could only contact him head-on, but he also had bitterness in his heart.

One is that he has become a businessman in the blink of an eye from a great country, and the gap is difficult for Xu Da to accept.

At least he left a good reputation, and switched to businessmen, he must not record his greed for money and profit in his later years?

The second is that since His Royal Highness the Holy Sun has entrusted this matter to himself, Xu Da can't deal with the past hastily, and will inevitably spend all his energy on it.

This makes it difficult for Xu Da to take care of the children in the family, especially Xu Huizu, who is rising in the officialdom at this time.

Xu Huizu is like a fledgling, if he wants to gain a foothold in the treacherous court, it is when he needs Xu Da, the old father, to escort him, if he can't take care of it, what should the Xu family do?

Compared with the latter matter, Xu Da's own worries in front are nothing.

Xu Da has lived all his life, and he doesn't have any thoughts, he just wants his Xu family to be rich and prosperous for generations.

You don't have to occupy a high position in the court from generation to generation, at least the descendants of the Xu family can be an errand in the court, and they don't have to go to the field to farm and contribute, Xu Da will be satisfied.

Zhu Xiongying saw through what Xu Da was thinking, and said deeply,

"General Xu, living in the moment, there are always so many players playing around at the card table, is it not right..."

As soon as Zhu Xiongying's words came out, Xu Huizu and Zhu Gaochi were shocked, while Zhu Yunxi looked at his brother with fanatical eyes, as for Xu Da... On the contrary, he was confused,

To be honest, Xu Da didn't understand His Royal Highness the Holy Sun's words, or rather, Xu Da didn't want to understand at all.

What does it mean that there are always so many players at the table, right?

His Royal Highness's meaning couldn't be more obvious, His Royal Highness the Holy Sun did not allow the iron-beaten nobles to appear, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Holy Sun was not targeting the Xu family, but everyone,

But this is contrary to the fundamental logic of the imperial feudal dynasty, although the Shiqing Shilu system has been abolished in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is nothing more than from the bright side to the underground, except for a very small number of grass carp that jumped over the dragon gate, the basic logic of this world has never changed,

That is, the minister's child, the future is the minister,

The farmer's child will be a farmer in the future,

Even if His Highness the Holy Sun popularizes illiteracy, even if His Highness the Holy Sun reforms the imperial examination, even if His Highness the Holy Sun does a lot... But the solidification of the level is not something that can be eliminated by one or two sentences, one thing or two things.

In other words, this is what has accompanied human history.

The transmission of identity, done obviously, is direct assignment, even if the Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination, the grace system has always existed, this is the back door opened for the children of the nobles, from the perspective of political games, this is also a means to balance all classes,

Do it relatively secretly, that is, the accumulation of resources, even if the children of the noble do not need direct favor, the connections and resources that people get are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is to have a meal with the DPRK and Chinese officials and get acquainted with each other, this is also a great resource, just imagine, how much effort does an ordinary child have to go through to sit at the same table and eat with the DPRK and Chinese officials? And the children of Xun Gui can easily realize the network structure,

This is not a stubborn disease, nor can it be called corruption, this is human sophistication, that is, human nature,

And like Lao Zhu, he kills and kills, no one's face is sold, and the behavior of the six relatives who do not recognize it is anti-human.

There is a dead buckle in this, and it is necessary to use anti-human anti-corruption behavior to stop the nepotism full of humanity... In the end, it will be humanity that wins,

Because this is a human society that needs to survive in groups,

Lao Zhu has a weak heart, and he can't kill it if he wants to, and he knows that as long as he survives round after round of butcher knives, he will re-enter the cycle.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior seems to have disrupted the cycle, but in the long run, it is harmless at all, and nothing has changed in the end.

Because, Lao Zhu is also a member of the cycle.

And the historical cycle is not feudal dynasties, but human nature.
