Chapter 18: The Great Changes of the Hu Family
The spring breeze melts the frozen soil, the Jing River meanders down, and the weeping willows on the riverside sprout new buds, like a baby who has just woken up, stretching its delicate lazy waist.
The breeze blows through the face, and there is a kind of sleepy tranquility.
Li Su and the Wang brothers sat by the river, Li Su stared at the river in a daze, but the Wang brothers were so anxious that they walked back and forth behind him.
The Wang brothers can't help but be anxious, because Li Su's current appearance is very dangerous, although Li Su feels that no matter when, where and what kind of state, his appearance is perfect, even if he is in a daze, he has a dusty temperament of "the years are quiet, and the present world is stable", but the Wang brothers obviously don't think so.
Taking a step forward cautiously, Wang Zhu had a scared expression of swatting flies on the tiger's head, and patted Li Su's shoulder tremblingly: "Brother...... Brother, are you alright? ”
It was very rude-amiding to be interrupted in a daze, Li Su turned his head in displeasure and glanced at him with slanted eyes: "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Zhu said cautiously: "It's windy in spring, and it hurts your body, you're not sick, aren't you...... Go home and lie down? ”
Li Su's eyes were a little unkind: "Who said I was sick?" ”
"Who would resign if they weren't sick? Brother, listen to me, don't make trouble, just go home and lie down for a few days, you have a heavy mind, and occasionally take a breath...... Alas, let's have convulsions, what's the point of being an official, let's not be an official. ”
It's so annoying, is this talking about human words?
Li Suteng stood up and kicked the king's stumbling stumbling.
Wang Zhu smirked twice, but didn't fight back.
Since Li Su was vaccinated with cowpox and saved the Wang family, the brothers of the Wang family have become more and more obedient to Li Su, although they are still smiling and laughing as before, but the brothers looked at Li Su with a little more awe and ...... Adore?
Too lazy to bother with them, Li Su sat down by the river, staring blankly at the river, with a smile on his face.
"Don't be careful, I'm not sick, I resigned because I couldn't be this official, the reason is very complicated, with the IQ of the two of them...... Forget it, I'll accumulate some virtue, come, sit down and be in a daze with me. ”
"What's the point of being in a daze?" Wang Zhu disdainfully vetoed Li Su's suggestion, and then excitedly changed to another one: "The official came yesterday and told Yang Widow / woman a kiss, I heard that it was from Zhouzhuang in the north, three years ago she died of her mother-in-law and brought two babies, although the family is a little poor, although the appearance is ugly, but the person is a strong man, Yang Widow / woman promised to marry three days later...... Let's see her take a shower one last time, shall we? Look at it and look at it less......"
Saying that, the Wang brothers showed regretful and gloomy expressions on their faces at the same time.
Li Su: "............"
It's very speechless, such an obscene thing was actually made by the brothers to make a sad poetic sense of "cutting constantly, rationalizing and messing, and leaving sorrow", and the object of poetry is still a ...... weighing two hundred pounds. A strong woman?
"I have no grudges with my two brothers, don't hurt my eyes anymore, it's better to sit down and be in a daze for a while than anything else, and in another ten or twenty years, you will know that being in a daze is the happiest and most precious enjoyment in life."
The brothers of the Wang family obviously couldn't understand Li Su's feelings, the two couldn't be quiet, seeing that Li Su didn't want to deal with them, the brothers didn't mind, and sat next to Li Su without anything to say.
"By the way, something big happened in the village this morning......
Look, what a suspenseful and attention-grabbing opening statement, but Li Su didn't blink his eyes, motionless like a wax figure, and continued to be in a daze.
The opening remarks did not achieve the effect, and the second Wang Zhi felt sorry for his brother's embarrassment of having nothing to say, so he hurriedly solved the siege, like a compliment in cross talk: "Oh? What's the big deal? ”
Someone accosted him, and Wang Zhu suddenly became energetic, and his spirit gradually soared.
"Our master's family, the Hu family is in trouble."
"What's the matter?"
Wang Zhu lowered his voice, looking like a well-informed person: "I heard that the Hu family sold all the shops and land under their name, and a few shops in Chang'an City don't know how much they sold, but our Zhuangzi's land, guess how much it was sold?" ”
"The Hu family has more than 300 acres of land in Taiping Village, so it should be sold for a few thousand, right?"
Wang Zhu shook his head and stretched out a slap: "Fifty times!" ”
Wang Zhi gasped, his eyes widened, and even Li Su couldn't help but turn his head.
"This ...... Where is this business, the Hu family has been robbed, the world has been peaceful these years, and I haven't heard of bandits near Chang'an. Wang Zhi was really surprised at this time, and he didn't care about the role he played, he had to pay attention to the four homework, and he talked about learning to sing.
Wang Zhu nodded heavily: "It's true, I heard the women and children crying in the courtyard of the Hu family this morning, and there were many carriages parked at the door, most of them are going to move away, and our Taiping Village will soon change the owner." ”
Li Su sighed, and finally gave up the idea of being in a daze completely, because the topic was ...... It's so tempting.
"Has the Hu family offended anyone?" Li Su couldn't help but ask.
"It should be offended, otherwise 300 acres of land and 50 yuan will be sent away, what is the difference between it and Ming robbery?"
Saying that, Wang Zhu shook his head and said: "After all, he is a businessman, his family has no confidence, there are too many powerful people in Chang'an City, and if he accidentally bumps into someone on the road, he may be the prince, and it is a big crime to commit driving." ”
Wang Zhi sighed: "The main family has actually treated our village well over the years, but there have been disasters for a few years, and the Hu family has sent us food door to door, but it's a pity that ......."
…………
The next day, the Hu family took a family of old and young, loaded more than a dozen carts of belongings, and left Taiping Village crying.
Things are simple and not complicated.
The Hu family has indeed offended people, and the people who offended are not small, the most famous family valve in the past hundred years, and one of the seven clans and five surnames that have been prosperous for a long time, Xingyang Zheng.
Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in the world today.
The Hu family has done a lot of business in recent years, and three silk shops have been opened in Chang'an City.
The silk craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty is very high, and the famous silk production areas are different, such as Jiannan, Hebei's Ayaluo, Jiangnan's yarn, Pengyue's satin, Song's, Hao'erzhou's silk, Changzhou's silk, Runzhou's silk, Yizhou's brocade, etc., the variety is dazzling, and the craftsmanship is ingenious.
The Hu family silk shop sells all kinds of silk, and the price is fair, and it has created a lot of reputation in the city, but the Zheng family in Xingyang also opened several silk shops in the city, and unfortunately, the Zheng family shop also sells all kinds of silk.
Of course, silk is not only a retail sale, the main profit comes from bulk purchases, there are countless exotic merchants in Chang'an City, thousands of miles to Datang, rushing is the exquisite silk of Datang, a deal is negotiated, silk shops often hundreds of thousands of net profits.
The Zheng family is a century-old gatekeeper, and I don't know how many times stronger than the Hu family, so whether it is a shopping mall or the government, the Hu family suddenly ushered in a variety of blows, and the Hu family was in a hurry, and all the silk in the shop was reduced in price and sold at a price lower than the cost price, so as to compete for the market.
This trick is indeed a bit unsophisticated, this is to smash the jobs of all peers, Zhenguan during the political and harmonious relationship, the relationship between the government and the people, far from the ancient and modern, can be described as a prosperous era of Qingping, in this era when everything is reasonable, even if the Zheng family is such a family of door valves, they do not dare to use extreme measures against competitors, who knows that the Hu family made this stupid move, and immediately gave the Zheng family an excuse to go to the black hand.
