Hearing Zhu Izhi's sincere words, Zhu Yuewu was obviously not as easy to coax as before, "Father, I really don't understand your intentions. After all, I have always done whatever you asked me to do. I just don't understand why I The things you do are nothing to you. Why is it that all the hard work is my business, but the good things are all my brother's?"
"Isn't that what being the head of a family is like!" Zhu Izhi said immediately.
However, Zhu Yuewu obviously didn't buy this at all, "If being the head of the family has no benefits at all, then I would rather not be the head of the family."
Zhu Izhi then just said, "Yuewu, don't be too willful. The head of the family is the head of the family. I really raised you as the head of the family. Don't be too willful."
After hearing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Yuewu also fell silent immediately.
"I know why you are angry. Don't you just envy your elder brother? Envy him for marrying Miss Lu?"
Facing his father's questioning, Zhu Yuewu said nothing, but his expression said everything.
Zhu Izhi then said to Zhu Yuewu, "Yuewu, can you tell me how you will arrange for your elder brother if you become the head of the family in the future?"
Zhu Yuewu remained silent.
Zhu Iuzhi then whispered, "I actually know you very well. Your personality is the same as mine. If I were you, I would not leave a way for him to survive. After all, I think it was because of his status as his legitimate son that I His life is so difficult. If I give him a way to survive, who will give me a way to survive? Aren't all the hardships I endured in vain?"
Facing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Yuewu wanted to deny it, but he knew very well that his father would not believe anything he said. And most importantly, he said that he would not care about the rift with his eldest brother. Even when he said it himself, he didn't believe it.
So if you tell a lie that you don’t believe to others, how can others believe it? So at this moment, he just kept silent and stopped talking.
When Zhu Yuezhi saw that Zhu Yuewu was silent, he continued, "I can think about you, but can you also think about your father? You are my son, but so is your eldest brother. You two are nothing to me." "The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. If I hurt any of you, I would be sad."
After hearing his father's words, Zhu Iuzhi still remained silent.
"The only thing I can do about your eldest brother is to give your eldest brother a good wife and let them go to the capital to develop after they get married. Then everything here will be yours. And your eldest brother can also have a good place to go. .”
After hearing what Zhu Izhi said, Zhu Yuewu finally said, "Father, what you said is very good, but after you said so much, my son is still controlled by others. What do you think I should do?"
Faced with Zhu Yuewu's words, Zhu Iizhi finally whispered, "Then what do you want to do?"
"What I want is simple! I want the father to give some rights to his son." Zhu Yuewu whispered.
Hearing this, Zhu Iizhi was obviously unwilling.
Zhu Yuewu then continued, "Father, if you don't want to, forget it. My son doesn't want it, but my son doesn't want to take care of everything here. You can let the eldest brother manage it, or the third brother can manage it. Son. I don’t want to care about it anymore.”
It seemed that Zhu Yuewu was really taking control of him. Zhu Izhi could only whisper, "That's good. From now on, you will be in charge of the nursing home in the courtyard, as well as the various shops and businesses at home." I’ll leave all the dealings to you.”
However, after hearing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Yuewu was still not satisfied, "Father, I don't want any of this. For a family like ours, my son knows very well that these businesses are just trivial matters. What his son wants to take care of is rice." The business of grain-for-salt contract! I hope the father can help his son if he really regards his son as the future head of the family."
Zhu Yuewu's words obviously blocked his father's path forward and backward. Didn't you say you wanted me to be the head of the family? Then you leave your important property to me to take care of, and if you refuse to hand it over, then everything is just a lie to deceive me.
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, and now
He really needed his son to take action, so after a brief hesitation, Zhu Ibis finally said, "It's not that I don't want you to take care of the salt deed, it's just that there are too many of your elder brother's in it." If you are a relative, they will definitely not obey you, so what can you do to fight them?"
Facing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Yuewu didn't say how he would solve the problem. He just said directly, "Father, if they don't obey me now, will they obey me in the future? If I don't do it, I will never be able to convince others. If I do it, I will never be able to convince others." Only then can it be possible to convince others!"
After being blocked by his son's words, Zhu Iuzhi was finally speechless. Then he just said silently, "You are right! Well, since you insist on doing this, I have nothing to say." If you want the salt contract, take it, but you shouldn't treat them too harshly when fighting with them, otherwise the only ones who will be injured in the fight in the nest will be our own people."
Faced with his father's reminder, Zhu Yuewu only whispered, "Father, don't worry, your son won't do anything stupid like that!"
"Okay! Since you said so, I will give you one last task. You have to try to convince the eleven people. These eleven people are now the stakeholders who control the salt contract. If you can get six votes in favor If I vote for you, I will hand over the salt contract business to you."
Zhu Yuewu had obviously been waiting for his father's words for a long time, so when he heard that he finally relented, Zhu Yuewu immediately said, "Father, if I finally get this done, you can't regret it!"
"Of course I don't regret it! But before you do this, you have to find Mr. Lu quickly. No matter what means you use to find him, you have to let him come back with you. You can't let him run away." Zhu Izhi also immediately added.
After hearing his father's words, Zhu Yuewu finally felt that his father wanted to find out Lu Zhizhang. I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as a joke. It's even more impossible to just make friends with each other.
However, he didn't dare to ask more questions. After all, if the old man didn't intend to talk about things, he might not be able to find out the reason even if he asked.
Therefore, he only whispered, "Don't worry, father, I will definitely do this well. Just wait for my good news."
Hearing his son say such words, Zhu Iuzhi patted his son on the shoulder with relief and said, "Good boy!"
Afterwards, the father and son reached an agreement, and Zhu Yuewu naturally immediately arranged for people to find Lu Zhizhang's whereabouts.
When the boat arrived at the other side, it was a bustling port. On both sides of the river were various huts with green tiles and white walls. They were markets, wine shops, and bustling with people.
Then the boatman suddenly said, "The boat has arrived in Tanzhou. If you want to get off, hurry up! Otherwise, we won't stop the boat again."
Hearing the boatman's shout, the secret guard beside Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but whisper to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Marquis, let's..."
However, before the man finished speaking, Lu Zhizhang looked at the secret guard with cold eyes.
Then after the secret guard fell silent, he whispered, "Didn't I tell you to call me Master Lu?"
The secret guard immediately whispered yes, and then the secret guard just repeated in a low voice, "Master Lu, should we go down from Tanzhou?"
Lu Zhizhang asked, "Isn't Tanzhou still in Yunzhou territory?"
When the secret guard heard this, he said in a low voice, "It is true that Tanzhou is on the border of Yunzhou, but the prefect of Tanzhou has never taken advantage of Yunzhou, so he thought that maybe we could temporarily avoid many problems in Tanzhou. Troubles."
"And if it's close to here, Master, it will be closer if you want to go back and control the situation in Yunzhou."
After hearing the secret guard's words, Lu Zhizhang, who was originally very unhappy, seemed to finally be moved.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying this, the master and servant were just about to get off the boat.
However, the people on the boat going to Tanzhou had already left, and by the time they came over, the boatman was ready to set off.
Upon hearing what these two people said, the boatman said impatiently, "Since you are going to Tanzhou, why don't you come down earlier? Damn it, we have already set off, but we can't do anything for you master and servant." Return again
If you go, you can either get off by yourself or wait for the next stop to disembark. "
After hearing what the boatman said, the secret guard and Lu Zhizhang naturally did not want to cause more trouble, so after that, Lu Zhizhang and the secret guard chose to go down alone.
The secret guard suddenly hugged Lu Zhizhang, and then heard the secret guard say to Lu Zhizhang, "I'm sorry."
As soon as the voice fell, the secret guard directly hugged Lu Zhizhang and left the side of the ship with a single movement. When the boatman looked over again, the secret guard had already safely reached the other side with Lu Zhizhang in his arms.
Seeing this situation, the boatman couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, when did Yunzhou actually have such a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
But the boatman didn’t think much about it at the time. Lu Zhizhang walked in a hurry. When the master and servant actually stood on the street of Tanzhou, they didn't know how to walk next. After all, Lu Zhizhang didn't have a guide on him, and neither did the secret guard. money.
The lack of roads means that they cannot live in any shops, and the lack of money means that their lives are problematic.
The master and servant were looking at the surrounding restaurants and food in embarrassment.
In the end, it was Lu Zhizhang's secret guard who said, "Master Lu, let's go directly to the Tanzhou prefect! I believe that after we explain the situation, the Tanzhou prefect will definitely accept us."
However, Lu Zhizhang directly denied the secret guard's words.
"It's useless to go to him. What can I prove? Besides, I don't want to be too high-profile."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the secret guard just said in embarrassment, "Master Lu, what should we do now?"
