After understanding the situation of the tea, Xu Song said warmly: "He'er, you go back and rest. You have worked hard these days!"
Xu He nodded and saluted: "Uncle, you still put your health first, don't overwork yourself!"
A smile appeared on Xu Song's lips, and he closed his eyes slightly in agreement.
When Xu He came outside, he found that the maid before was leading a group of rough girls waiting outside.
Each of those girls held a box in their hands.
When the maid saw Xu He coming out, her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons and said: "Mr. He, the master and his wife felt that the master was working hard, so they specially sent us to your home."
Xu He nodded and just said thank you for your hard work and stopped looking at the boxes.
Seeing this, the little maid pursed her lips and said: "Madam spent a lot of thought on these gold and silver jewelry, books, and medicinal materials before deciding on them after asking many questions. It would be better for him to just nodded without even looking at it! It's all in vain. Madam’s good intentions.”
Not to mention that Xu He returned to his home on Tokachi Street with these maids.
At this time, Xu Song's bedroom had been silent since Xu He left, and none of the four people in the room spoke.
After a long time, Xu Dai finally couldn't bear the heavy atmosphere. He knelt on the ground with a bang and said with his neck pinched: "Brother, what do you want to do with your younger brother? It's up to you. My younger brother is indeed at fault this time!"
Zhang Panlong glanced at his brother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered in his heart.
wrong? Now that you know you are wrong, it is really ridiculous to act like an invulnerable scoundrel.
But she was born into the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Hailing, and had been the matron of the Xu family for many years, so she naturally knew the principle of not being close to one another.
After all, Xu Dai is still her husband's brother. Even if he is dissatisfied with his surname, it is not appropriate to speak at this time.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said to her husband: "Master, I'm going to see if the medicine is good!"
After saying that, Xu Dai knelt down and walked out.
After his wife left, Xu Song turned his head and looked at Xu Dai and his son with cold eyes: "Wrong? What's wrong with you? You are so capable and can already make friends with people in the palace. How could you be wrong? ?”
Xu Dai lowered his head and said nothing, obviously unhappy.
Yes, I did think a little more for myself this time, but the clan itself was not left behind.
Brother, what does this mean?
Are you holding on tight and not letting go?
Compared with Xu Dai's inner anger, his son Xu Luan jumped out and said: "Uncle, you also heard that the price of the private salt we gave is six cents, but those evil bastards set it at two cents. This is not our intention.”
"If it weren't for people like Dou Ma Tong, we would definitely be able to do this. By then, it would be an income of 100,000 yuan a year. Our Xu family..."
"Bastard!" Xu Song suddenly became furious, "You still think your fault is the price of salt? You idiot!"
"Uncle!" Xu Luan, who was called a fool, blushed and wanted to protest.
Xu Song pointed at Xu Luan and said to his younger brother: "Look, what kind of bastard did you raise? If you don't have a good mind, just stay at home and be a rich man. If you have to go out and make trouble, the Xu family will almost be wiped out this time." , understand? Exterminate the clan!"
"Cough cough cough cough!..." Xu Song was so excited that he suddenly coughed violently. When Xu Dai and his son saw this, they were stunned on the spot for a moment, and they didn't know how to step forward to help pat the back or calm down.
Xu Luan, in particular, stood in the room with his neck stiffened, showing no intention of moving at all.
On the contrary, Xu Dai, who was kneeling, saw his elder brother being so angry. After finally recovering from the initial shock, he got up and hugged his elder brother, helping to pat his back and give him water.
After a while, Xu Song regained his breath. He looked at Xu Luan with disappointment and said, "Get out!"
Xu Luan was startled by the coldness in his tone, and looked at Xu Song inquiringly.
"Get out, do you hear me?" Xu Song looked at his nephew coldly, "Here comes someone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yong came in with someone from outside the door.
Xu Song pointed at Xu Luan: "Lock this evildoer in the West Cross Courtyard. He will not be allowed to see anyone except for water and food on weekdays!"
Xu Dai was shocked when he heard this: "Brother!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Song didn't look at him at all. He glared at the hesitant Xu Yong and said, "Are you deaf?"
Hearing this, Xu Yong quickly called to his men and said, "Quickly, take Mr. Luan to Xikuoyuan."
Xu Luan was controlled and became furious: "Uncle, what's wrong with me? Why do you lock me up? Uncle..."
Xu Yong and others did not give him a chance to speak and dragged him out of the house.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged away, Xu Luan struggled in the courtyard and shouted: "Partial, you are partial, you all think that Xu He is better than me, why is he better, I am the direct bloodline of the great clan, he is just a bitch Damn it! You will regret it sooner or later!"
The sound grew further and further away until it could no longer be heard.
Xu Dai's face was ashen and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Song turned around and glared at his younger brother: "Do you also think I am partial?"
Xu Dai was speechless, acquiescing.
Xu Song pushed him away, lay down, looked at the tent roof and said leisurely: "What do you think of Xu He's good salt policy?"
Xu Dai murmured twice and finally replied: "Not so much. How great does he think Chen Hua is? What can the last memorial change?"
Xu Song sneered: "You are worse than a child!"
Xu Dai's face turned green and red after being scolded. He scratched his neck and said, "Then let me ask you to clear up the confusion!"
Xu Song said: "That kid's plan to take the public law exam in the Salt Division is an outright conspiracy. Officials of the Salt Division are always disliked. Anyone who still has some thoughts about an official career will never go to the Salt Division. But he single-handedly opened up the path to the Salt Division's promotion. , and conduct assessments for Salt Department officials. In other words, either you want a future or your life, these two are given to you, how do you choose?"
"The salt industry in our country has been plagued by serious abuses. Officials have enriched their own pockets and colluded with lower-level officials. Although Lianghuai has such good conditions, it still causes public resentment. Why?"
"Think carefully!"
Xu Dai was still unconvinced and said: "What I'm talking about is the [Gangyun Method]."
The look of disappointment on Xu Song's eyebrows for his younger brother became even more serious: "The best thing is the Gangyun Method. Chen Hua is indeed a seventh-grade county magistrate, and he speaks softly, but I tell you, in this memorial, except for the emperor, All the ministers will agree with this method, do you believe it or not?"
Xu Dai was stunned. In his opinion, if he was the chief minister of the cabinet and a small county magistrate dared to dictate the country's major affairs, he would not accept it even if he didn't reprimand him even if he gave him face.
Xu Song sighed, thinking that no matter how stupid this man was, he was still his own brother, so he helped him sort it out: "Think about it, a hereditary salt merchant, and a salt merchant who carries the full amount of salt, don't say far, the two Generations later, these merchants will be the richest people in our Wei Dynasty."
"Who doesn't want their family's name in the compendium?"
"The prince, the king of Qi, the first assistant, the second assistant, who doesn't want to use the money earned by Gang Shang to cultivate his own power?"
"When the time comes, those hoarders who are like rats crossing the street will be able to make money standing up and no longer have to be sneaky. Do you think they and the people behind them will support this method with both hands?"
Xu Dai finally changed his expression when he heard this.
He was surprised and said: "Before Xu He left, the eldest brother said something about writing a letter to Beijing. Is this...?"
"A letter to the chief minister of Qin. After all, Chen Hua's official position is too low. I will go and help him talk about it!"
"The letter is to Wu Xingbang, the third assistant, asking him to help speak in the cabinet and strive to pass this law."
"There is another letter for Wang Ji, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of the ceremony!"
Xu Dai was shocked: "Wang Ji? Isn't he You Xiao's godfather? Our cooperation with You Xiao this time..."
Xu Song sneered: "At this time, pulling Wang Ji is pulling our Majesty. He wants to monopolize it. Now he has no chance. Then let's give him another chance to make money, but this time he will bring us to make money together." .”
"Our Xu family also wants to become Gang Shang!"
Xu Dai looked at his elder brother in shock: "This, is this what Xu He said about turning worries into joy?"
Xu Song said lightly: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
