"Ouch~" Jiang Fuxue responded obediently, but was secretly surprised in her heart.
Who is my brother's master? He seems to know the Gongsun family very well?
"But Xue'er hopes that she can also..."
Before Jiang Fuxue could finish speaking, Liang Xiao gently patted her little head.
"Xue'er, we have to keep a certain distance from the Gongsun family. Gongsun Wuji looks at you a little weird. My brother is very worried that the Gongsun family will hurt you."
So he was worried about himself?
Jiang Fuxue's face was filled with emotion, and she nodded obediently: "Let's talk about it later~"
Back in the room, Jiang Fuxue took out a letter from the cabinet and opened it, thoughtfully.
The handwriting is elegant, and there is a golden crescent moon attached to the letter.
It was the letter sent by her third sister Gongsun Yue from Bashu, and it was delivered to her through her grandma by people from the Gongsun Family Chamber of Commerce, expressing her longing for her.
Jiang Fuxue thought of Gongsun Wuji, a strange man with the same father and mother, and his behavior today was a bit strange.
"These bastards will definitely not let me and my brother go. My third sister will come sooner or later, and she will probably pretend not to know me. She is much harder to abduct than the other sisters. How should we catch her? Let’s have a try first when we meet?”
Jiangbei official said, the girl in the carriage suddenly sneezed.
"It's late autumn. Miss, please take care of yourself."
"I'm very warm. Maybe my little sister can't wait to see me? After all, looking at the entire Gongsun family, she and I have the best relationship. She will soon understand who compares with her or me or that beast. Dear~"
The girl's silver bell-like laughter came from the carriage, and there was a vague sense of confidence in the laughter.
Liang Xiao arrived at the lobby, where Bai Qin had been waiting for a long time, submitting a document about the current status of the fiefdom Lanling.
After reading it, Liang Xiao felt mixed.
The food town of Lanling Marquis Mansion is centered on Lanling, plus part of the surrounding towns, totaling 8,000 households.
However, his father only took one-fifteenth of the food tax in the fief during his lifetime, and he did not take any more than that. He was also charitable and used the tax money to build bridges and roads and give soup relief, so he was deeply loved by these people.
When the country was in crisis, they even went to great lengths to help out the crisis, spending all their money to buy grain, and opening warehouses to release grain, just to maintain grain prices.
In the end, he died for his country and took a big blame.
He is really foolish and loyal...but he is his father.
Bai Qin sighed: "Master Hou, these people in the fiefdom were scrambling to be the first to serve porridge when your father was alive. After your father was martyred...but they ignored him. In the past two years, no one came to the capital to visit him. It's really heartless. You are ungrateful, there is really no need to reduce or reduce their taxes in the future."
Liang Xiao said: "People everywhere are similar. Even their survival is a problem. They don't care about all these things. If you have money and leisure, who doesn't want to be educated, well-educated, and respected? In fact, many people are just poor. Sickness. Look at workers like me, who used to be refugees. After they had no worries about food and clothing, as long as they were educated in a timely manner, they would also know how to be grateful and work harder than ordinary workers."
Bai Qin was a little surprised and looked at Liang Xiao: "What does the Marquis mean?"
Liang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Let's reduce the amount like my father did before! My father has just been wronged not long ago. I must continue to maintain the practices he did during his lifetime, and then use newspapers to publicize this matter to restore his reputation as soon as possible. Take less money This fiefdom taxes thousands of taels of silver every year, and I won’t break my bones. Forging such a good relationship may be a blessing in disguise.”
Bai Qin was impressed. After taking care of today's affairs for Liang Xiao, he went back to the palace to report in person.
The sisters were silent for a long time.
Liang Xiao's actions and words shocked them quite a bit.
Even they can't be so considerate of the people!
He didn't even feel cold!
This is his mind, his pattern...
"Sister~ He said it was for his father, but in fact, he sympathized with the people's plight in his heart. You can tell by looking at him giving porridge before!" Duan Yunxiu's face turned red with excitement.
Duan Yunyi nodded slightly: "This is the family tradition of the Lanling Marquis Mansion. Unfortunately, the situation was complicated back then, and my father had no choice. Our family owes the Liang family a lot..."
Duan Yunxiu looked proud and said: "Then let's make it up to him more in the future! For example, let him be my consort, and I will make it up to him for our family~"
"Hmm...but you recently asked for those fine leather whips. What are they used for?"
"Ah? Yes, it's Sister Qinxue who wants to practice the Lightning Whip Technique recently, just in case of emergencies! As for me, I have to prepare a few. If any girl dares to bully Brother Xiao, I will join in... Ah, I Just slap her~"
"Where are those fine red candles?"
"Well...Sister Qinxue said that sometimes she may practice until night, and when she has finished practicing, she can protect me better..."
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Liang Xiao, who was tasting his own wine, suddenly sneezed and continued to study his wine.
Limited by the conditions of the times, he had to improve the modern winemaking process.
In normal business, the cake has been divided up by various domestic companies. It is difficult to make money without enough connections and channels, unless you have a big partner like Ding Guohoufu.
We must seize food from the tiger's mouth and attack these hostile families.
He also knew very well that even if he did not become a prominent figure and left the capital, these political opponents would not be able to let him, the son of Lanling Marquis, go.
It’s impossible for these aristocratic families that have been prosperous for hundreds or even hundreds of years not to understand the principle of eradicating the weeds.
Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative!
He still had ten thousand taels of silver in his hand, which for ordinary people was a lifetime's worth of wealth, but for him, he couldn't even support an elite team.
After drinking the wine, Liang Xiao smiled slightly, feeling a little intoxicated.
No problem!
In Honglu Temple, Li Xinwen looked at the newspaper with strange eyes.
"If our country can also publish such a newspaper, why worry about the disunity of the people! This Liang Xiao is indeed a talent!"
Now she no longer dared to choke Xing Feng.
"General Li, what do you think of this song "Magpie Bridge Immortal"?" Xing Feng asked casually.
Li Xinwen snorted coldly: "This general is not interested in these things of you men of letters!"
Xing Feng remained silent, confused in his heart.
He could vaguely see that Li Xinwen was very prejudiced against Liang Xiao, but he still knew how to restrain himself.
At this moment, Li Xinwen's maid came over with a letter.
Li Xinwen opened it and took a look. Her eyes were a little more joyful, and her eyelashes flickered: "Is she really coming?"
The handwriting is elegant, and there is a golden crescent moon attached to the letter.
Xing Feng and his two followers looked at each other in confusion.
"Mr. Xing? Master Xing? Is there any way for me to step down from my position as deputy envoy of Da Chu now? Doesn't my words and deeds represent our Da Chu?"
Li Xinwen's sudden question made Xing Feng frown: "Don't mess around."
"Tch~ I'll figure it out myself!" Li Xinwen's eyes were full of displeasure.
After Li Xinwen left, Xing Hai reminded: "Little Marquis, she has been to Gongsun's Chamber of Commerce before!"
Xing Feng nodded slightly and said: "There is no doubt about her loyalty to Da Chu, but she is still young and vigorous. We must not ignore it. We should find a way to send her back to the country. If she is damaged here, take a child back. It’s hard for me to explain to the General Hussars... This woman is really troublesome."
The next day, Gongsun Ling went to Liang Mansion to visit Liang Xiao.
"Marquis Lanling, my third lady will come to discuss business with you in a while."
