After coming out of Lei Zhenfu's office, Su Xiaolou met Xiong Er and others again, and said: "Boss, I have been out suppressing bandits for such a long time. I must have a drink when I come back. Do you want to go?"
"Yes, I'm going to be a farm steward."
"What? Boss, are you going to take charge of the farm in Nanjing Jinyiwei Yamen?"
"Boss, we are getting rich. We are going to get rich. The next step for the boss is to marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life."
Hanzi's mood is always a little slower than others, and he asked stupidly: "Boss, can we no longer have to patrol the streets in the future?"
"Fool, not only do we not have to patrol the streets, we can also manage the farmers on the village, and many people will give us gifts to curry favor with us."
Su Xiaolou said: "I have never done this job before. Let's go and say hello to the stewards of the farm first and get familiar with the situation in the farm and the affairs they are responsible for. Now that you are all familiar with it, I will come to Zhuangzi in one month. Hang out a few times, or come here if you have something to do. This farm still depends on you. Please keep your ears open for me later, stay alert, and get familiar with the affairs of the farm."
Su Xiaolou's words are equivalent to saying that I will never forget you even if I get rich. If everyone gets rich together, they will naturally be happy and say in unison: "Okay, boss."
Su Xiaolou and his party walked on the dirt road in Zhuangzi's fields. The steward took them to visit the fields that were out of sight. He talked endlessly about this year's harvest and the situation of farmers in Zhuangzi, and then took them to In the accounting room, the harvest situation over the years is recorded, and the whereabouts of each grain of grain and the harvest status are recorded in detail. Su Xiaolou touches these account books as if he is touching real money, but they are also the faces of the farmers here. The blood and sweat of the loess turned upside down.
Su Xiaolou is conflicted in his heart, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Hai Rui is upright and upright, with a clean mind. He has never been an official with real power in his life and has no ambition. If Su Xiaolou is not tactful and worldly, he may not be able to serve as a farm steward for long. The atmosphere in the court is like this. Individuals cannot change anything, but they have to do something and not do something.
After accepting the steward's filial piety, several people left Zhuangzi happily.
In the afternoon, the newly appointed Su Xiaolou was sent home by the villagers, who brought back a lot of fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish. This errand came as if they knew that Su Xiaolou had adopted him as a new rice pail. After returning to Su's house, no one was at home. Only then did Su Xiaolou remember that they were all busy with matters at the Shengsheng Inn.
This is a big deal. Su Xiaolou arrived at the teahouse of "Bai Xiaosheng" and planned to ask him to help him promote it and attract traffic. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If there is not so much nonsense on the opening day, it is enough to pay a deposit and make a reservation. After all, no one can escape death. If you raise a few white-eyed wolves, there will be no one to collect the corpse after death. How miserable!
As soon as he walked into the teahouse, he heard a shocking news. Wu Zong fell into the water and his illness was menacing. There was an undercurrent surging in the court, and all forces were ready to move.
The gears of fate finally turned here. Wu Zong lived a dissolute life and left no heirs. Next, his cousin Zhu Houcong succeeded to the throne. Su Xiaolou hatched a bold idea in his mind. Zhu Houcong was still in Anluzhou, Huguang at this time. He learned the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in his private school, not knowing that he would be the future monarch of this dynasty.
Historically, after Sejong succeeded to the throne, he began to cultivate his own power to fight against the old forces in the court and strengthen the imperial power. The method was to reuse his cronies in Huguang. Jinyiwei began to reshuffle. If he could get to know this smart young man in advance, If the emperor gains his appreciation and waits for him to succeed to the throne, he will rise with the same wind and skyrocket.
This emperor was quite capable, and his political achievements were very impressive when he was young. But when he got old, he became obsessed with alchemy.
Su Xiaolou left twenty taels of silver and asked "Bai Xiaosheng" to help publicize it. Bai Xiaosheng also agreed, promising that within three days the entire city of Nanjing would know that Su Xiaolou's Death Inn was about to open. Those with corpses will be offered money, while those without corpses will pay a deposit for themselves.
Returning to Jinyiwei Yamen Su Xiaolou, I heard that Lord Mingdu still couldn't resist the poison of Wuliansan, and finally died of exhaustion. It can be regarded as death in the line of duty. As usual, Jinyiwei paid a large pension to Mingdu De's family. .
The case of the murder of a student from Shanglin College has also come to light. The Jinyiwei Yamen archives say that the murderer’s name is Lu Yunsheng, a student from Yunnan. He was smart and studious since he was a child. Fortunately, he was recommended by a student of a great scholar. , was fortunate enough to enter Shanglin College. Because of his poor family and accent, he was often laughed at and even bullied by students. Lu Yunsheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he killed the students who bullied him the most. In the end, Lu Yunsheng's confession was postponed and he died in In prison, Su Xiaolou guessed that he was tortured to death. How could those powerful people let him die easily?
In the evening, Su Xiaolou returned home. Lai Qian and the others had already returned. The courtyard was bustling. I don’t know who had released the chickens, ducks and geese that were helping them. The little broken dog was chasing a group of chickens, ducks and geese all over the courtyard, but he couldn’t do it. This little bad dog still wants to provoke others, causing hair to be everywhere in the yard.
Tu Yao shouted from the side: "Come on! Tangyuan, stand up and bite that big white goose. Don't be afraid!"
Laiqian stood by like an old father and watched Tu Yao's fuss. When he saw Su Xiaolou coming in, he said, "I can't tell that the young master is quite caring. He knew that Miss Yaoyao eats a lot, so he bought some chickens, ducks and geese." Keep it at home.”
Su Xiaolou rolled his eyes at the incoming money: "I'm not doing it for that little explosive bag. I'm going to be a farm steward instead. This is why I went to the farm today and the stewards there respected me."
"Congratulations, young master! This is a good job that no one can ask for."
Tu Yao suddenly ran over and said: "Good job! Have you been promoted? Congratulations, bring me the red envelope!"
"Didn't Mosquito give you enough red envelopes this summer? You need more red envelopes, and I'm getting a promotion, not an official promotion."
"What's the difference?"
"That's so different. It's just like that little broken dog, still in this yard, it stopped eating grass and ran after the meat instead."
"Hahahaha... It turns out that our glutinous rice balls are still a seventh-grade Zhimaguan puppy." Tu Yao laughed and laughed.
Su Xiaolou stared at Tu Yao with a gloomy face and said, "If you laugh again, I will stew this little broken dog."
"Don't touch our glutinous rice balls."
"I'm moving, little broken dog, come here."
"Tang Yuan, come here and ignore him."
Su Xiaolou used the legendary witchcraft spell: "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh..." The little broken dog ran over happily.
"you……"
The matter of purchasing materials was almost completed in one day. The next step was to recruit people. Su went downstairs and asked for the money. They would put up a notice to recruit workers tomorrow, so that they could look for some reliable workers.
