"Zhu Gongqi is quite a talented businessman. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info his father died early, and he was a concubine, so he did not inherit the legacy and did not enter the sect. In previous years, he worked for many people from the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Gong Ding returned to his hometown, he set up his own job and returned to his family. ”

Shen Zhezi listened carefully to Qian Feng's more detailed description of Zhu Gong, and I have to say that compared with himself, this Zhu Gong's life experience is more like a bitter and hateful protagonist of online articles.

The news reported by Long Xi's pawn earlier confirmed Shen Zhezi's conjecture, and he felt that this Zhu Gong was disgusting. The entanglement between each other, speaking of which, Zhu Gong himself took the lead in making trouble. Shen Zhezi had just returned home a few days ago, and he never thought that this guy had already chased after him, but in comparison, he seemed to have no temper.

However, Shen Zhezi already has confidence now, and he is more concerned about the amount of Zhu Gong's family, so he asked Qian Feng again: "From my uncle's point of view, if this Zhu Gong is given enough time, how much grain can he raise in Wuzhong?" ”

"Nowadays, the price of grain is high, and each family is reluctant to sell it. If Zhu Gong wants to raise grain, he must start from a small household in a poor family and accumulate into a river. In terms of its financial resources, it can get the number of twenty or thirty thousand hundreds. ”

Qian Feng is quite sensitive to numbers, and he is good at general affairs, fiddling with some calculations, and quickly gave Shen Zhezi an answer.

Seeing Qian Feng holding a long and short wooden stick sideways, Shen Zhezi was dizzy when he saw this operation, and planned to make an abacus after a while. Hearing this number, he felt a little satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile: "In this way, with the Zhu family's grain stockpile, there can be sixty or seventy thousand, which is already very good." ”

Qian Feng also nodded with a smile and said: "This miser is dedicated to the economy, does not seek the position of Qingxian, reverses the turbidity current small order, collects wealth and hoards goods, and has been quite saved in the past few years. ”

Based on the theory of the acres of land owned by the Zhu family, the output of the acres of land is deducted from the consumption of various expenses, and the common theory would not have been so much grain savings. The family has a big business, and the consumption to maintain it is also amazing, with such a big family business as the Shen family, the storage has bottomed out after tossing for more than half a year.

Zhu Gong's official residence is not a noble official position, but it has the advantage of being able to control the officials controlled by the county office. At present, the officials are the main bearers of manpower and forced labor in various places, collecting money and grain taxes, repairing water conservancy and county offices, and maintaining law and order in the territory. It has some authority and majesty in front of the common people, but for the chief officer, it is free labor, which can be assigned at will.

Therefore, in a small county, there can be more than 100 households, and if men and women are not requisitioned, it is hundreds of laborers. As the county commander of the hometown, Zhu Gong is equivalent to hundreds of extra parts of the work for him, and he is supported by the money and grain of the imperial court, so he does not have to spend a penny. This alone can save thousands of grains every year.

At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the overseas Chinese family business was not prosperous, even if they did not want to, they often had to serve as the magistrate of a county, in order to facilitate the purchase of industries in the local area to support the family. Yu Yi served as the commander of Jiyang County, and then Xie Yi of the Xie family served as the commander of Jiyang County, which has a lot to do with this. After Yonghe, this phenomenon gradually decreased, and the family had grain and land, and the high family was happy to be free.

From this point of view, Zhu Gong is extremely obsessed with money and practicality, which is also in line with Shen Zhezi's intentions.

Shen Zhezi already understands the logic of Zhu Gong's behavior. On that day, he took his aunt away from the Zhu family, and they were completely evil to each other. What Zhu Gong relied on was the Shen family's lack of food, and the more food he could raise, the more chips he would have, and the more he could use it to blackmail, without worrying about the Shen family's revenge.

Therefore, as soon as he realized that Xu Kuang had other intentions, Shen Zhezi might as well show weakness. The more the Shen family is weaker, the more unscrupulous Zhu Gong becomes, waiting for the Shen family's grain to cut off its flesh, naturally the more grain in his hands, the more benefits he can get.

Small households can have dozens or hundreds of surplus food, and thousands are already the limit. Acquisitions are difficult and cumbersome, consume great energy and financial resources, and beware of other companies' interference. Rather than this, it is better to leave this matter to Zhu Gong to do, and Shen Zhezi is happy to sit back and enjoy it.

However, Shen Zhezi was also worried that Zhu Gong would not be able to collect grain, so he deliberately added a fire to make this guy even more difficult to ride. So on the one hand, he sent someone to forcibly take back his aunt's dowry property to anger Zhu Gong, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Wucheng Xu Family Sect to inform Xu Kuang of all the incidents.

A few days later, the people of the Xu family came to visit, and the leader was Xu Cheng, the patriarch of the sixtieth year.

As soon as he entered the house, the white-haired Xu Cheng confessed again and again: "I really didn't know that there was something wrong in my family, colluding with outsiders, and plotting to make trouble!" The old eyes are dim, and I am ashamed of my old friend! ”

Shen Zhezi didn't doubt Xu Cheng's words, stepped forward to help the old man, and said with a smile: "Xu Gong's words are serious, children and grandchildren have their own plans, this is human nature, how can the elders know everything." ”

Xu Cheng did not enter the hall first, but waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Bring me that rebellious person!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhezi turned his head to look, and saw Xu Kuang, who looked disillusioned, being lifted up with his arms tied behind his back, his clothes and beard were all messy, and he didn't have the leisurely appearance of the last time.

Xu Kuang was already terrified at this time, and he left the Shen family earlier and stayed in Wukang, using the contacts he had made when he was an official here to help Zhu Gong buy the grain of the small households near Zuo. It wasn't until the previous clan uncle came to Wukang and summoned him to the front that he knew that the matter had been revealed.

At this time, seeing Shen Zhezi standing on the steps with a calm expression, Xu Kuang was more shocked than his weak heart. He really couldn't imagine that the young man already knew all about these things behind his back, and he would poke him straight to his life as soon as he made a move!

The Shen and Xu families have been friends for generations, and the Xu family is dependent on the Shen family, how could it be that because of the friendship he has destroyed for many years, Xu Kuang can already imagine his tragic end. Now that there is no point in prevaricating again, Xu Kuang said with a gloomy expression: "Zhezi Xiaolangjun, the fault is only me, I am bewitched by Zhu Mingfu's words, and it really has nothing to do with my family." The big mistake has been made, I don't dare to ask for forgiveness, I just ask Xiao Langjun not to make a gap because of this. ”

"You still have the face to speak!"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng was even more furious, and in a fit of rage, he raised his foot and kicked Xu Kuang to the ground, kicking all the way to the court.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi hurriedly persuaded people to pull it away, he was still afraid that Xu Cheng's old bones would make a mistake in his own house. Now, Xu Kuang, the anti-bone boy, will no longer have a good end, and the Xu family will inevitably severely punish this person in order to give the Shen family an explanation.

But at the moment, this Xu Kuang is still somewhat useful. Shen Zhezi asked the panting Xu Cheng to be helped into the hall to rest, and he bent down to pick up the embarrassed Xu Kuang, brushed off the dust on his body, and then said with a smile: "The two families are good, and there will be no gap between the villain's slander." Uncle Shi, your mind is swaying, and you are wrong for a while. Speaking of which, it's also my family's inconsiderate thinking, which makes you feel at ease. ”

Xu Kuang didn't dare to say again, his thoughts were already chaotic at this time, and the more polite the young man was, the more inexplicable his heart palpitated.

"In order to be at ease with each other, please come with me to have a look."

Shen Zhezi beckoned, motioned for someone to untie Xu Kuang, and then led him to the granary in the manor, ordered someone to open the granary, stretched out his hand in front of Xu Kuang and said: "What Uncle Shi is worried about is nothing more than the hustle and bustle of the world, my family has no food, please Uncle Shi come in and check carefully." ”

Xu Kuang was completely confused at this time, he would not believe Zhu Gong's words and turn his back on the Shen family, so he came to visit to find out the truth. But Shen Zhezi's reaction clearly told him that his family had run out of food, and now he led him to the granary.

Although he had accepted his fate, Xu Kuang still had doubts in his heart, gritted his teeth and walked into the warehouse, and was even more stunned when he saw the rice grain that filled most of the warehouse. He couldn't help but personally go forward to check, it was indeed true that there was no real grain, and in this warehouse alone, there would be at least ten thousand stones of grain!

Shen Zhezi didn't say much, and left it to Xu Kuang to understand. When the guy walked out of the granary with a sluggish look, he led him to the next warehouse.

These warehouses in the manor are all circumvented, each with rice and grain reserves, and there are tens of thousands of stones just as far as Xu Kuang can see! In addition to rice grains, there are also dried vegetables and fish, all kinds of dried vegetables and fruits, etc., all of which are a lot of savings!

The impact of physical goods is much greater than the numbers on the books. If Xu Kuang still had a trace of luck, now that he sees the abundance of the Shen family's warehousing, he has the heart to die! He was blinded by lard, so he gave up the Shen family's big thick legs to hug Zhu Gong's thin arms!

Shen Zhezi still felt that the psychological blow to this guy was not big enough, so he opened his mouth: "Yesterday, my uncle went to Tiaoxi to collect rice and grain, and prepared to transport it to Wucheng, this batch is about more than 5,000 Hu. Before the frost, another batch can be turned. If Uncle Shi had come one day earlier, he would have returned with my uncle, but today he missed it. ”

If he had heard this before, Xu Kuang would have doubted the authenticity of these words, but now seeing the impact of the real thing is very different from what he imagined. At this time, he couldn't tell the truth from the false, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse, and when he heard Shen Zhezi say this, he covered his face and cried: "The difference between one thought, the difference between one thought...... What a foolish and vain I am! ”

With this psychological quality, are you still an anti-bone boy?

Shen Zhezi saw Xu Kuang's tears pouring out, and he could probably guess that his intestines were full of regret now. He felt a little happy in his heart, but it was always unremarkable for a big man to cry and cry, so he walked to the side and waited for Xu Kuang's mood to stabilize.

After a long while, Xu Kuangcai stopped crying, his small eyes were red, and he walked in front of Shen Zhezi with difficulty, and said in a sad tone: "Xiao Langjun didn't care about his past suspicions, and he helped my family, which made me embarrassed ...... place."

"Alas, speaking of which, I am also young and shallow, and the last time Uncle Shi came to the door, I should have let you transport the grain away. It's just that the elders are not at home, and they don't dare to decide in their hearts, otherwise it won't come to this. ”

Shen Zhezi would never admit that he was deliberately fooling this buddy, and said with a sad face.

"After all, it's still my short-sightedness and obscure thoughts, and I mistrusted Zhu Gongpifu and made a mistake!"

Speaking of this, Xu Kuang's face was already full of hatred. Looking back now, many of Shen Zhezi's reactions last time were normal, but he hated and misbelieved Zhu Gong first, so that he made a wrong judgment based on his preconceived ideas.

After a little silence, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have no face to ask for forgiveness anymore, but now I can only sue Lang Jun of Zhu Gong's conspiracy to pay for my previous crimes." ”
