The two came to the side room of the lobby, and Xu Wei arched his hand and said, "Lord Fuzun, I heard that Li Jianjun came to visit in the morning and had a conversation with your lordship, right?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Xu Tong's judgment is very well-informed, there is indeed such a thing." ”

Xu Wei's expression did not move, and he said softly: "Don't hide it from Lord Fuzun, what Li Jianjun talked about with the adult is the result of the suggestion of the lower officials, the adults have come all the way to Weizhou City, how can we people exclude the adults, everyone earns money, originally Li Jianjun suggested that the adults should be given 3,000 guan per month, but the lower officials increased the weight to 5,000 guan." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "I'll just say, Li Jianjun is so generous, people say that eunuchs love money and are stingy, how can he be an exception, it turns out that it is Xu Tong's judgment, and this government wants to thank you." ”

Xu Wei hurriedly said: "Don't be loud, my lord, Li Jianjun is a eunuch, but you can't laugh and slander like this, if it reaches his ears, won't it make him unhappy?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Yes, I forgot about this stubble, the bald man is afraid of people talking about the scoop, the pockmark is afraid of people talking about the pit, and the eunuch is naturally afraid of what people say, so if you don't say it, you won't say it." ”

Xu Wei rolled his eyes, holding a scoundrel and having no choice, he came up and said, "I don't know what kind of attitude does the Lord have towards Li Jianjun's proposal in the morning?" ”

Su Jin said: "Although it is useless, since you are so gracious, I have no choice but to make it difficult." ”

Xu Wei scolded this pretending to be a coercive in his stomach, and said with a smile on his face: "Since you are satisfied, why did you go to copy the market at the south gate?" ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "What? This black market ......"

Xu Wei waved his hand and said: "My lord, don't talk about the black market, this is just business, otherwise where will the money come from?" ”

Su Jin frowned and said: "I asked Li Jianjun in the morning, but he didn't say anything, he just told me not to ask, how do I know which ones are our industries?" Isn't this a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple? ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not at fault, adults care about the people of Weizhou, and they thought that someone was disrupting the market, so it is understandable to send someone to seize the black market. ”

Su Jin wiped his sweat and said: "I am relieved when you say this, no wonder this group of people does not admit it, it turns out that this is our industry, they are afraid that we are not a group, so they stabbed the basket when they said it." ”

Xu Wei heard Su Jin always say 'our industry', and sneered vigorously in his heart, and said in his heart: This industry doesn't have your share, it's just to give you some honey to gag your mouth.

"The government is very curious, saying that the city of Weizhou is already poor like that, and although the price of grain is high, how much money can it be sold? Where do we get so much money? ”

Xu Wei thought about it, and stopped talking.

Su Jinban said with a face: "It seems that Xu Tongju still treats this mansion as an outsider, you can hide it, but in the future, if I copy our own property again, don't blame me for not knowing the inside story when the time comes, how can I make some gestures to show the people when I take office, you don't say it, I don't force it." ”

Xu Wei weighed it for a while, and finally spoke: "Okay, let's make it clear to Lord Fuzun today, we have opened two grain markets in Weizhou City, one in the north and one in the south, three in the Qinglou, two in the restaurant, and one is an ironware workshop." ”

Su Jin opened his mouth wide and said, "So many industries? Not to mention tens of thousands of yuan a month, no wonder you give this house 5,000 yuan a month without blinking. ”

Xu Wei heard that Su Jin seemed to blame less, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not as much as Lord Fuzun thinks, and you also know that the city of Weizhou is already exhausted, and there is not much oil and water." ”

Su Jin said: "This mansion is very strange. Since most of the people in Weizhou City are already exhausted, how can they have the money to eat restaurants and visit Qinglou? ”

Xu Wei didn't stop doing it, trying his best to solve Su Jin's confusion: "Don't forget, my lord, the people in this city are indeed so poor that they can't eat enough, but there are still many rich households, so they naturally have such needs; Also, how did you forget the biggest group? ”

Su Jin said: "Who else?" There are only dozens of officials, is it...... Could it be...... Oops......" Su Jin exclaimed, as if he had an understanding.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Have you thought of it?" Yes, it is the 20,000 soldiers in our Weizhou City, these people eat and drink are provided by the imperial court, and they still have a monthly salary to get, and they stay in the northwest for a few years, and they don't know when they will be able to go home, and they don't know when they will lose their heads, do you think they can not eat, drink and have fun? ”

Su Jin gasped, he really admired these guys for making money, after squeezing out the people, they began to squeeze out the soldiers' salaries, more than 20,000 soldiers, this consumption base is not small, even if one person spends a consistent consumption, a month alone can squeeze more than 20,000 yuan from these soldiers; In particular, the place of fireworks in Qinglou is the first choice of entertainment for those who serve as soldiers outside, and the money consumed is also very expensive, and it is estimated that the money and goods of these soldiers are also spent on these.

Seeing Su Jin's surprised appearance, Xu Wei was secretly proud, and said softly: "This is all what you and I want, and we don't force it, as long as the army is accommodating and does not punish soldiers for prostitution, then the wealth will be rolling." ”

Su Jin understood that Li Jianjun and Ge Huaimin were the commanders of the army, as long as the two of them turned a blind eye, the soldiers' violations would naturally not be punished, but Su Jin was concerned about another issue, so he asked: "This is located on the border, and the war is raging, who would want to come here to do the meat business." The bitches don't want to come here, 20,000 hungry wolf-like Qiuba, who wants to come and suffer, no matter how much money they give, they don't want to be afraid. ”

Xu Wei said: "Didn't your lord want to ask what those words in the account book mean?" The woman in the green building is not a prostitute invited from all over the country as the adults think, but a woman in the city, someone is willing to sacrifice her daughter for ten days for a stone of food, we can only agree for the sake of the people's stomach, right? These women who voluntarily exchanged rice and food were sent to the brothel to pick up customers, and after the expiration of the time limit, they were free to go home, and we were not forced to stay, in the final analysis, we were also at the invitation of the people, and it was also a matter of your wishes. ”

Su Jin almost slapped Xu Wei's fat face, what this group of people did was simply a matter of losing their conscience and cutting off their children and grandchildren, and Su Jin already had a clear understanding of the context of the whole thing; First of all, they controlled the grain in the city, withheld the food for the relief of the people, and set up a black market to sell it; Due to the outrageously high prices, the people, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, will eventually be reduced to extreme poverty, but in order to have a full stomach, they can only try their best to get food, so some people are willing to mortgage their wives and daughters in exchange for food.

And Li Zhihe, Xu Wei and others simply opened brothels, using these women as prostitutes to solicit prostitutes, soldiers, eunuchs and a small number of wealthy families in the city will naturally have such a demand.

Su Jin held back the anger in his heart and asked quietly, "Isn't there any opposition from the people?" This is a thing that damages yin and morality. ”

Xu Wei looked at Su Jin with disdain: "Lord Fuzun actually said such righteous and awe-inspiring words, the subordinate officials are very impressed, do you really have the next life as a person?" If so, who was in your last life? Do you remember? Since you don't remember anything, even if you have, what's the difference between having and not having any? So we live in this life, and adults don't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to become officials here in order to make a fortune, isn't it just for people to have money and face? We have the same intentions, but we don't need to belittle each other; Besides, when the people mortgage their wives and daughters, they have to draw and sign them, they know that they are sent to be played with, and we didn't force them, they don't want to choose this road, or you and I are willing to fight and suffer. ”

Su Jin sighed and said: "Sure enough, it's a good business, this government really admires it, listening to Xu Tong's words today, it's better than my Su Jin's ten years of hard work, if it goes on like this, we will all make a fortune." ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "That's nature, don't worry, Lord Fuzun, you have a good life, Weizhou City seems to be barren, but in fact, it is full of treasures, hehehe; If the lord of the mansion has Yaxing, he can also go to the brothel to play, where there are all authentic women from good families, and some are still chicks, and the water is spiritual; If the adults go, I need them to pick a little lady who no one has touched, and let the adults train them well. ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, the people in the room are like tigresses, let Mrs. know about this matter, do I still have a way to live?" ”

Xu Wei empathized, secretly despised Su Jin, and asked you to marry the daughter of the Yan family in order to climb up, there is no fun now, it is estimated that except for the daughter of the Yan family, you are afraid that no other woman will dare to touch it, and the fun of life is less than that, it is simply self-inflicted.

Speaking of which, Su Jin should know everything, Xu Wei came today, he must have been entrusted by everyone, and he had a showdown with himself, and he was afraid that he would copy it indiscriminately, after all, the things in the city are not a secret, as long as you have the heart, you can know it, and if you want to check, it is naturally possible to check in many places; Second, they can be regarded as expressing a kind of attitude of their own people to Su Jin, although they are still not very at ease with Su Jin, but they always salute first and then soldiers as the best policy, and win over first, and then find a way to get rid of him.

After sending Xu Wei away and letting go of the people caught in the black market, Su Jin hid in the inner hall alone and meditated, and when the inside story of the matter was known, he fell to a dilemma.
