Duke Dingguo is troubled again, what kind of damn membership system is launched by Zhaixing Tower. My wife is also willing to contribute something to join. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by Xu Miaojin.
My wife is now unwilling to leave the house.
"Master Guo, since it is the recipe left by King Zhongshan, does it also need to be shared by our Duke Dingguo's mansion?" asked the steward of Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Xu Jingchang's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't I think of that? King Zhongshan is your grandfather and also my grandfather.
Moreover, I am now the Duke of the State, and I am equal to you, the State of Wei. Why can't I have one? Duke Dingguo suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Xu Miaojin sent Mrs. Dingguo away unceremoniously, but she was still angry in her heart. She actually had the nerve to want to join the Star Reaching Tower?
My ridiculous nephew doesn't know, don't I know the dirty tricks of your lineage?
Then she met the businessman through a screen. Among them, she admired the big salt merchants from Lianghuai the most because the one he sent was a woman in her mid-twenties.
What is sincerity? Thinking about making things convenient for others is sincerity. The big salt merchants in Lianghuai thought that it was most convenient for women to meet women. This was full of sincerity.
The person who can be seen by Xu Miaojin must have passed several levels before.
Ordinary businessmen with no connections would not be able to see her unless they gave too much. This woman from Lianghuai Salt Merchant falls into this category. She just uses money to open the door if there is no other way.
Xu Qin repeatedly told him not to be in a hurry when selling shares. And there are many obstacles to be set up. You should show contempt for these businessmen and let them know that this Star Reaching Tower is not just for those who come in casually.
In fact, he didn't need to teach him to look down on businessmen. This was something deep in the Ming Dynasty's literati and noble class. You don’t have to look down on them deliberately.
After setting up layers of obstacles, one share of Zhaixinglou’s shares cost ten thousand taels. Calculated this way, the current Star Reaching Building is worth nearly one million taels.
Of course these businessmen are not out to make money, they are buying peace. This is superficial silver. As long as they enter the Star Reaching Tower and have a way to communicate with the wives of these powerful people, the money they spent will be worth it.
They were willing to give money, after all, Shen Wansan's fate was too clear. If you have a life to make money, you also have a life to enjoy it. The route of the powerful is not that easy to follow. If one of them did not do well, he would be swallowed whole, including the bones and flesh.
But now there is such an opportunity in Zhaixinglou, and the woman behind it is the sister of the former queen. Being born in the palace of the Duke of Wei, all this is enough.
It was also said that the second young lady of the Xu family had a sworn relationship with the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess often visited the Star Reaching Tower.
Therefore, many big businessmen are trying their best to get in. No one thinks that the connections are too strong, let alone having too many connections.
Moreover, Xu Miaojin only sold the shares for three years and took them back three years later. Zhaixinglou promised that they would have the right of first refusal by that time.
So arrogant and unreasonable to the point of being unheard of. The equity will only give you three years, and you may not necessarily make money during these three years. It was recovered and resold three years later.
Xu Miaojin was stunned when she heard Xu Qin say this and refused to believe it. As a result, the threshold was almost stepped down.
No matter what, you can't refuse money from someone, let alone giving so much. Xu Miaojin met these businessmen through the screen and sold three shares without saying a few words. One ten share is one hundred thousand taels of silver.
A banknote worth three hundred thousand taels was placed in front of her, and she only gave away a dozen contracts.
After these people get the contract, they will send people to the Star Reaching Tower, and without exception they will send their own female relatives in.
"My concubine, Su Mingquan, has met shopkeeper Xu Da." Su Mingquan bowed.
Everyone left, but she, the woman, stayed. Xu Miaojin wanted to talk to her. After all, they are thoughtful and give too much.
In front of the daughter of King Zhongshan and the sister of Wei Guogong. Su Mingquan was able to pay his respects without being humble or arrogant, which proved that this woman was not simple.
Xu Miaojin felt happy when he saw this woman. Not only was she courteous and generous, she was also gentle and virtuous.
When two people chat, they can talk about customs, humanities, poetry, and even political opinions. It's not that Su Mingquan is flattering, but that the two people have many similar opinions.
It was hard for Xu Miaojin to imagine that a salt merchant could cultivate such a woman. The more the two of them chatted, the more they became more and more speculative. It feels like we met too late.
Xu Qin stopped speculating because Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding, had arranged a guard of honor to go to the Duke of Wei's house.
It's disrespectful to come to the door without even saying hello in advance. It's okay not to say hello, why are you putting all this ceremony on display?
Xu Qin scolded Duke Ding in his heart. Because once the ceremonial guard is put out, it means that you cannot turn a blind eye and must be respectful.
It was also this way to tell the Duke of Wei that the visitor was not good.
Fathers Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong are of the same rank, so they can just bow to each other. According to regulations, he must kneel down at this level.
But he didn't kneel down, he just held his hand casually and pulled him down. If Xu Jingchang is shameless and goes to the emperor to sue him for this matter, then let him do whatever he wants.
I would rather come out sideways than kneel to this guy.
"Wei Guogong, let me get straight to the point. The inheritance of our ancestors has been auctioned, why don't you see my share of Duke Ding's mansion?" Xu Jingchang asked.
Don't call him uncle, just call him by title. This means that business matters should be dealt with regardless of friendship.
No matter how much trouble the two families have, they are still from the old Xu family. After all, it is a family matter, but now he comes to the door with a guard of honor, but it is not about the friendship of the same clan.
"Hui Dingguo, because my father is the legitimate son of the eldest son of King Zhongshan. Therefore, everything left by my grandfather King Zhongshan belongs to my father, and what belongs to my father is mine."
Xu Qin retorted unceremoniously. According to the patriarchal system of the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing wrong with saying so. It is natural for the eldest son to inherit the family business.
"Oh, my son has learned a lot, that's all. Does Mr. Dingguo have anything else to ask?"
Duke Wei praised his son leisurely, then looked at Duke Ding and said.
"What you said is wrong. Whoever can revitalize the family business should own the things. Now the Duke of Wei has no shame in talking about revitalizing the family business, so the things should all belong to me."
Duke Dingguo Xu Jingchang replied with a cold face. This is scolding, directly calling them father and son a prodigal.
"Your father is not good in character but is quite shrewd. How could he give birth to a person like you who is not ashamed but proud of you? How dare you talk about face with me? Do you still have the nerve to mention your ancestor? Your ancestor's face is embarrassing to you and your father. It’s over!”
Duke Wei slapped the table and pointed at Xu Jingchang and cursed him. Xu Jingchang shivered with fright. Back then, he was the uncle's housekeeper in Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, and he was already afraid to the core of his bones.
Although he is now protected by his identity as Lord Dingguo, he is still afraid subconsciously. This made him deeply ashamed and extremely angry. Especially when he heard him scolding his father, he couldn't help but tremble with anger.
"Okay, okay, I would like to ask Wei Guogong, what should I be ashamed of? What glory do you have?"
Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth and suppressed the fear in his heart, deliberately raising this topic. This was a big trap.
Xu Qin heard that it was not good, and his father was going to be deceived. I quickly got up and tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
"You are eating the king's salary, but betraying the king's kindness, informing the rebels, and betraying the rebels. What face do you have? How dare you enter this door? Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will show up and kill you, an unworthy descendant, with a thunderbolt?"
The righteous indignation of Wei Guogong's scolding was so heartfelt that Xu Jingchang was elated when he heard it, and Xu Qin's hair turned gray with worry.
What a shame, you dare to complain about everything. Isn't this tantamount to pointing your nose and calling Zhu Di a rebel? Now someone is holding a knife. Are you seeking death?
"Okay, that's a good scolding. You openly insulted His Majesty as a traitor. I want to see how big your head is, Duke Wei. I hope you won't be scared when you see His Majesty!"
Xu Jingchang felt that it was too good to scold him. It didn't matter if he scolded himself, but it was so good to take His Majesty along with him. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest today.
"What if I scolded you? Could it be..." Wei Guogong slammed the table angrily, venting the resentment accumulated over the years.
He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he had no chance and no one dared to listen. Xu Jingchang came at the right time today, and he happened to be a punching bag. So I opened my mouth and sprayed it.
After spraying, I feel much better. He felt so refreshed. If his son hadn't stopped him, he would have been even happier.
Xu Qin tried his best to cover his father's mouth, but he didn't care. He knew it was not good since he heard that his wronged father received Xu Jingchang.
I showed up here to prevent him from talking nonsense. The result was hard to guard against, everything happened too fast.
At this time, he felt a chill on his neck. Zhu Di's knife seemed to be placed on his neck again.
"Dad, you've drunk too much, don't talk nonsense..." Xu Qin quickly covered his mouth. If it weren't for his biological father, he would have covered his mouth to death.
You, the old man, are leaving. You are loyal and courageous and are not afraid of death. But think about me first. I am afraid of death for your only son.
Wei Guogong still struggled to scold Xu Jingchang.
"Dad, stop talking. If you drink too much, go back and rest. Xu Jingchang, you fucking loser, get out of here."
Xu Qin covered his father while scolding Xu Jingchang for losing his star.
Xu Jingchang smiled instead of being angry.
"Let's meet at His Majesty's place! No, I will go to the Jinyiwei Prison to see you. I will burn paper for you next year. We'll see..."
Xu Jingchang flicked his sleeves and left. Xu Qin didn't dare to let Xu Huizu go until he completely disappeared into the Duke's Mansion.
"Dad, you scolded me so much, haven't you thought about the consequences? If His Majesty gets angry, all of us will be multiplied by two with a click." Xu Qin complained with a mournful face as he complained about his unjust father.
"Speak carefully, what does multiplying by two mean?" Xu Huizu still had time to ask.
"Cut in two, one person becomes two pieces, doesn't that multiply by two? Dad, if you say this in front of him, do you mean to extinguish the Xu family's incense with your own hands?"
Xu Qin can no longer speak. I can only think about how big a mistake has been made, what should I do next?
What Chairman Zhu cares about most is that he is not in the right position. Now that you are openly calling him a traitor, you may have started to sharpen your sword.
"What are you afraid of? We have the iron certificate of Taizu's elixir. What can he do to me? Me scolding the emperor is not rebellion!" Xu Huizu said with a sneer.
Xu Qin's head was buzzing. The iron coupon of the elixir was commonly known as the gold medal to avoid death. It says that it is the founding of the country, and all death sentences except for treason are exempted.
But Ming Taizu gave out sixty-seven tickets and took back sixty-four. There are only three valid ones, one of which is in the father's hand.
Chairman Zhu is quite particular and takes back less than his father. But these two men are very dishonest in this regard.
It is equivalent to a supermarket issuing vouchers, except that the final interpretation lies with the supermarket. This thing looks awesome, but whether it actually works or not depends on the mood of the person.
There is even this thing that dies faster, just like precision guidance.
"Dad, it's not up to others to decide whether the Alchemy Iron Coupon is effective or not. Is it difficult for you to decide to rebel? Even if I can't deal with you, I can deal with me.
If I die, how many more years can you live holding the iron book of alchemy? Can that thing be used to carry on your family line? "
Xu Qin angrily scolded the old man Xu Huizu, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let his father drink alcohol again.
How much is left after the last treatment? This guy's brain is so drunk that it's almost like a ball. They are all dead meat and eggs.
Xu Huizu was still a little unconvinced when he heard this.
