The concierge heard the conversation between the two and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
The uncle calls his nephew "adult". What are "adults"? They are also parents.
The nephew did not deny it, but at the same time he called the other person uncle.
It was a complete confusion of seniority, but fortunately the concierge knew about their relationship.
There was no ill will between them, they just confused officialdom with family relations.
Xu Yue and Xu Mou did not pay attention to this. Now Xu Yue is waiting for his aides and uncle to make suggestions for him.
After a cup of tea, Xu Mou finally spoke.
"First of all, if the Su family proposes a twenty-mile journey, it should be no less. Give the Su family a favor and let the other party remember this favor." Xu Mou said while tapping the table.
Xu Yue thought for a while and suddenly realized: "If you don't want to give a favor, don't give it away. If you want to give it, give it as much as possible."
"Of course, favors cannot be discounted." Xu Mou looked at Xu Yue and nodded happily.
Xu Yue was overjoyed. His uncle really thought about him.
But when he thought of the Xie family and the Xu family, he shuddered.
Xu Yue bowed his hands and asked Xu Mou respectfully: "Uncle, you have given such a great gift to the Su family, what should the Xu family and the Xie family do?"
"The Xu family and the Xie family can't be any closer, they should be at least twenty miles away. If they are really not convinced, it's up to me to convince them." Xu Mou thought for a while and said decisively.
In order to please the Su family, Xu Yue knew this in his heart.
Although he didn't dare to bring it up, it was different when his clan uncle came forward.
Xu Mou was sent by the Xu family and represented the Xu family's ideas.
I believe that the Xu family and the Xie family will understand if Xu Mou goes back to lobby.
Xu Yue was really moved at this time. Xu Mou was taking a big risk, which was very difficult for his life.
Xu Yue bowed his hands again and his attitude became more respectful: "Thank you, uncle. What about the others?"
"Your subordinates and classmates will all be given five miles, so that they will be treated equally." Xu Mou thought for a while and came up with a solution.
Xu Yue thought about it, and it made sense.
He thought about it carefully and felt that Xu Mou had omitted something: "Uncle, there are still five miles left to go, what should I do?"
"This is easy to do, and that is good, I will reward them with these five miles." Xu Mou said with a deep look in his eyes.
Xu Yue couldn't help but admire him greatly, and bowed deeply: "Uncle, we are thinking about the long term. Uncle, the mileage of road construction has been solved, but how to arrange the sections for road construction?"
"Indeed, this is also a difficult problem that tests people. Chengdu Prefecture already has a Chi Road, and Chengdu people must compare it." Xu Mou tapped his fingers on the desk while drinking tea and thinking.
Xu Yue did not dare to disturb Xu Mou, so he sat down and drank tea while waiting for the other party's answer.
Xu Mou's eyes suddenly lit up: "The Su family is from an aristocratic family. They also proposed a twenty-mile road and asked him to build the section close to Chengdu."
"Okay." Xu Yue thought for a while, felt it made sense, and agreed to his staff's suggestion.
"The Xie family is very powerful and is close to the Su family. As for the Xu family, it was not easy either. It was built from Lingquan County." Xu Mou obviously didn't trust the businessmen and Xu Yue's subordinates. "These are all honorable roads. We must let those with strength to do it.”
"Thank you uncle, this is foolproof." Xu Yue felt that this staff member was indeed worthy, not only loyal, but also scheming.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, the construction of the Chidao from Lingquan County to Chengdu has begun.
There are thousands of people here, some carrying soil, some breaking stones, and some digging soil.
Su Xiaomang's mother was a brothel girl and she was born a bastard.
What hurts him is that he cannot call his biological mother mother, but can only call him aunt, and the non-biological mother can be called mother.
His brother Su Xiaodong is very strong. Not only does he often bully him, he also doesn't think he is better than him at all.
If you see something good, just start robbing it.
When Su Xiaomang was born, her health was not very good and she often fell ill.
Her biological mother gave Su Xiaomang a jade pendant, hoping to keep him safe.
Otherwise, the eldest brother Su Xiaodong saw this jade pendant and immediately reached out and snatched it away.
Su Xiaodong cried and stretched out his hand to take it back.
Logically speaking, Su Xiaomang should openly take back this thing that belongs to him.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaodong shook the jade pendant in his hand and kept laughing: "You have a son as a concubine, so you don't deserve these things at all."
He found his mother, who held him and cried bitterly.
My mother didn't dare to take the jade pendant back, but she gave Su Xiaomang an idea to find his father and let his father seek justice.
From this incident, Su Xiaomang knew that his mother's status meant that she had no voice in the family at all.
Su Xiaodong had no choice but to tell his father that fortunately his father was sensible and finally took back the jade pendant.
But Su Xiaodong didn't get this jade pendant and felt uncomfortable all the time.
"You, a concubine, don't deserve to call my mother my mother, and your biological mother my sister." When Su Xiaomang called his biological mother mother, Su Xiaodong couldn't help but mock her in private.
Su Xiaomang had no choice but to lower his head, bit his lip hard, and shed tears.
Not only that, Su Xiaomang pointed at the ancestral hall and said, "You know, your biological mother cannot enter the ancestral hall."
Su Xiaomang cried and shook his head desperately to express disbelief.
"You know, you are the son of a concubine, and the future elders will not have your share at all." In order to attack Su Xiaomang, Su Xiaodong pointed to the elders at the main seats and said.
After his father found out, he beat Su Xiaodong with his shoe and severely criticized his brother Su Xiaodong, asking him not to bully his younger brother again.
Su Xiaodong had no choice but to agree, but in fact he hated his younger brother even more in his heart.
Although Su Xiaodong didn't mention this again, he changed his approach.
Whenever he saw Su Xiaomang, Su Xiaodong's eyes were still full of contempt and ridicule.
In this way, Su Xiaomang grew up with hardships, and there was always a lingering shadow in his heart.
When it was time to study, Su Xiaodong finally found a topic that hit Su Xiaomang again.
When he was eighteen years old, his brother Su Xiaodong passed the Juren Examination, but Su Xiaomang did not pass the Juren Examination.
While squinting at Su Xiaomang, he couldn't help but laugh: "Sure enough, I am just a concubine, and studying is not that good. Staying at home has no future at all except making shit."
In desperation, he said goodbye to his biological mother and went out to find something to do.
Hearing that Zhaojiazhuang was good, he came to Zhaojiazhuang, Jintang County.
It happened that Jianfang was recruiting people, so he stepped forward to apply.
When he came to Zhaojiazhuang, he felt like he had fallen into another world.
Compared with the traditional houses with skewers and earth walls in the Su family, the ones in Zhaojiazhuang are not only much stronger and faster, but also not afraid of fire.
He is very active, hard-working and wins the favor of the foreman Kuma Saburo.
Soon, the workshop expanded again, and he was recommended by the foreman Xiong Sanlang and became a small foreman with ten people.
In just three months, he not only became thinner, but also darker.
Seeing him become thinner and darker, the exiles couldn't help but laugh.
A relegated man named Su Xiaoneng pointed at him and laughed: "Idiots are just imbeciles. They can't study, and they didn't expect that they can't do other things. Look, I thought I could do something spectacular when I went out, but I didn't expect that. He actually became a beggar.”
Although his brother Su Xiaodong said nothing, the sarcasm was still obvious in his eyes.
"The clan leader has ordered Zizhen (characterized by Su Xiaomang) to be the shopkeeper of Jianfang." A man named Su Xiaoguang, about thirty years old, rushed out of the meeting hall excitedly and immediately announced a shocking news.
Su Xiaoneng was a little surprised when he heard the news, and said sourly and sarcastically: "What shopkeeper? He's just a businessman."
You know, he is not qualified to be the shopkeeper yet.
Of course, he may not want to be a shopkeeper if he wants to concentrate on studying.
"Zi Liang (characterized by Su Xiaoneng), Chi Dao, do you know?" Su Xiaoguang looked at him coldly and asked face to face.
Su Xiaoguang is not only the oldest, but also a high-ranking official.
Su Xiaoneng could bully Su Xiaomang, a bastard, but he would never dare to bully Su Xiaoguang.
Su Xiaoneng, like Su Xiaodong, was only elected for one term, while Su Xiaoguang was elected for three terms.
According to the court's practice, those who have been elected for three years have the opportunity to join the Jinshi.
Although the current official management of Tongjinshi is tight, there is still a chance after all.
But Su Xiaoguang and Su Xiaoneng, although they are candidates for the exam, they only have one term, so they have no chance at all.
Su Xiaoneng now heard Su Xiaoguang's questioning and wanted to say that she didn't know how to cover it up.
But Chengdu already has a Chidao, and everyone is proud to sit on it.
Even if you don’t have money to take a bus, walking on it still makes you feel superior.
Isn't it? Only those who walk on Chidao will have a deep understanding of it.
The dirt road is better on these sunny days, but there is also mud and dust.
Not to mention when it rains, not only are there puddles everywhere, but they are also slippery and can even make people fall.
Chidao looks almost the same on sunny days and rainy days. It is almost the same flat and smooth, with little dust, strong and not easy to slip.
It's not difficult to compare. The two are one in the sky and the other in the earth.
If he says he doesn't know, wouldn't he become a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything?
After thinking about it, Su Xiaoneng had no choice but to grit his teeth and reply: "Why don't you know? I heard that this road leads directly to Jintang County."
"You know, Lingquan County is also going to build a Chi Road now." Su Xiaoguang looked at him lightly.
Su Xiaoneng is obviously a nerd. He doesn't know about this yet, and he doesn't believe it at all: "What, Lingquan County is also going to be built? Did I hear it right?"
"Of course, this is true. The Su family has donated thousands of copper coins for this Chi Dao." Su Xiaoguang said this with a glint in his eyes that only he could understand.
Su Xiaoneng and Su Xiaodong looked at each other and immediately beat their chests and feet: "That killer donated all this money, how can we still have money to study?"
Reading expenses are huge, and pens, inks, paper, and inkstones are all consumed.
They had no idea about Su's money before, and they only knew how to concentrate on studying.
But disaster struck from the sky, and the barbarians invaded Sichuan and looted everywhere.
In order to avoid the Hu people, their entire family moved to Neijiang and lived in Neijiang for several years.
It was not until the Little Sage captured Chengdu that they returned to Lingquan County from Neijiang.
After living in Neijiang for many years and moving between two places, even the wealth of the family was almost exhausted.
Unexpectedly, they finally settled down in Lingquan County and donated the last thousand barrels of old cellars.
"Why, the clan leader held a meeting of elders and unanimously agreed to donate. What, you two still have opinions?" Su Xiaoguang looked at the two of them, looking a little dismissive.
Su Xiaoneng and Su Xiaodong looked at each other and suddenly felt weak.
The two almost fell down and hurriedly found a stool to sit down so as not to be embarrassed in public.
The two of them held their heads and cried: "Of course I have no objection. But from now on, we will never have money to study again. God, what should we do about this?"
After saying that, they beat their chests and beat their feet again, feeling very sad.
"Zizhen, Brother Yu wants to hang a master register in this building, is it possible?" Su Xiaoguang ignored the two of them, but bowed to Su Xiaomang and asked respectfully.
Su Xiaomang rubbed his thick and black hands, and couldn't believe his ears: "Ziyao (characterized by Su Xiaoguang), you heard me right, brother Ziyao, is he actually interested in a businessman?"
"Once a word is spoken, it's hard to chase it back." Su Xiaoguang answered decisively without any hesitation.
"But Brother Ziyao, none of the scholars, farmers, industrialists or merchants want to be a businessman." Su Xiaomang shook his head, still rejecting Su Xiaoguang's idea, "Besides, becoming a businessman will not be good for Brother Ziyao's reputation."
