Su Jin sighed dejectedly: "It's so boring, others say that the emperor is very good to me, but I don't know the secret, the emperor's eyes are nothing more than usable people and useless people, I Su Jin is useful, so he is polite to me, look at the fate of Lu Xiang, he has been in power for decades, and finally was impeached by the four officials with the acquiescence of the emperor and returned home, and finally died of depression; So never mention any friendship with the emperor, I have long realized this truth. ”

Xia Siling sighed lightly: "Although the husband is drunk, it does make sense. ”

Yan Biyun frowned and said, "Ling'er, how can you add fuel to the fire?" ”

Xia Siling said: "The slave family is not adding fuel to the fire, the husband is not happy to be an official, it is better to resign from the official, wouldn't it be better for our family to go back to Luzhou and live a comfortable life?" ”

Yan Biyun smiled and said: "What you said is easy, are you a county magistrate or some kind of petty official made by your husband?" Say go? And what reason to resign? Besides, once you resign, all the business in the family will collapse, especially the silver village, which is specially approved by the imperial court, and most of the business is due to the imperial court taking money from the silver village and driving the businessmen to join, if you fall out with the emperor, the court will inevitably set up another silver village, and our silver village will have no business; Moreover, most of the money stored by the people of several silver villages has been misappropriated, and the mines, new towns, and horse businesses have been embezzled by tens of millions, and now they can only return two or three million a year. Won't all the money invested go down the drain? When the time comes, will the whole family drink the northwest wind? ”

Xia Siling was speechless, she didn't think about it so much, seeing Su Jin's painful appearance, she rushed out and said that she wanted Su Jin to resign, but she didn't expect that there would be so many chain effects.

Su Jin smiled bitterly: "Yes, it is difficult to ride a tiger now, and I can't get out, so I can only hold on; But it's not as terrible as Biyun said, I just don't want to do things halfway, I actually have a dream in my heart, from the moment I refused several adults to participate in the new deal, my dream gradually became clear, do you know what this dream is? ”

Everyone shook their heads and asked, "What is it?" ”

Su Jindao: "The failure of the New Deal is inevitable, because although the New Deal looks inspiring, it is too difficult to implement, and the help is too great. ”

Yan Biyun said: "Are you still thinking about how to implement the new deal?" ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "I wasn't optimistic about it before, but now it's even more impossible, the top-down change will inevitably fail in my Great Song Dynasty, unless the emperor is not afraid of losing the throne, obviously the emperor can't have such determination." ”

Yan Biyun said: "Isn't the ten disadvantages that the husband wrote down at the beginning to correct these shortcomings? ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "That's speculation, I don't tell lies in my own family, the emperor loved to listen to these radical words at that time, in order to get good results in the palace exam, I can only write like that; Of course, what I write is facts, not nonsense. ”

Yan Biyun nodded and said: "No wonder the emperor asked you later if you could get rid of the evils, you said that you don't have that ability, in fact, you know that it will lead to the same failure as Lord Fan and Lord Han, right?" ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "That's true, with the prestige of Han Fan and others, it still fails, not to mention that I was a fledgling student at the beginning, and I didn't want to change the disadvantages according to the method I wrote." ”

Yan Biyun said: "The slave family doesn't understand a little, what the husband means is that borrowing the power of the court from top to bottom can't promote the new deal, is there any other way?" ”

Su Jin said: "This is my dream, you say that I spent most of my net worth, spent more than 100,000 people, and millions of dollars to build this pearl city for?" ”

Yan Biyun said: "Didn't you say that in order to develop commerce in the northwest, attract businessmen to come and set up shops and trade, collect business taxes, and alleviate the financial embarrassment in the northwest?" ”

Su Jin said: "This is just the most basic purpose, if it is only to attract businessmen to come. In business, there is no need to spend so much effort to build a new city, there are dozens of northwestern state capitals, no matter which one is slightly renovated, attracting preferential policies, it will have the same effect, why should I build a new city? ”

"Yes, the slave family also thinks it's strange, the slave family told you about it, but you didn't answer, and the slave family didn't want to splash the cold water of the husband, so they didn't ask again."

Su Jin patted Yan Biyun's hand and said, "You are a virtuous person, you would rather have doubts than make me unhappy, even if I do the wrong thing, you will not say half a word." ”

Yan Biyun said in a low voice: "You are the head of the family, the slave family and the sisters naturally follow you, you can do whatever you say, and everyone will support you." ”

Su Jin said gratefully: "Su Jin is so fortunate that he is exchanging all the wealth in the world with me, and Su Jin is never willing to give up on you, you are my greatest wealth." ”

The wives and concubines were all moved, and Su Jin's love words always made them moved, although sometimes they knew that he was just coaxing himself.

"Don't be hypocritical, let's talk about your other intentions for spending a lot of effort to build Pearl City." Yan Biyun poked Su Jin's forehead.

Su Jin took a sip of wine, tilted his head and asked, "Do you think I'm any different from others?" ”

Everyone was stunned, although everyone had already felt this way, but no one had ever seriously thought about this issue.

Su Jin smiled and said, "I'm sure you will feel this way, but if I ask you where the difference is, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell clearly; That's because, although the food I eat and the clothes I wear are no different from other people, but my way of thinking makes you feel strange, which is why many people say that I Su Jin 'acts unexpectedly, and every time people are surprised', because I think differently from them, so the things I do are naturally unexpected. ”

Yan Biyun nodded and said: "It seems to be true, when I first met my husband at the ready-to-wear exhibition in Luzhou, when my husband hired a group of Qinglou women, dressed and walked on the street, and also engaged in some lottery activities, which opened the eyes of the slave family, no one has ever done this, it was really unexpected by the slave family." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "However, this point has deeply attracted Sister Yan, and she is the most accurate to give me a hug, right?" ”

The girls laughed, and Yan Biyun blushed and said, "What nonsense? The slave family just felt surprised, but I didn't think you attracted me anywhere. ”

Xiao Xian'er rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, do you want the little maid to break the news?" Don't hold it up, the tigers are so big, what's there to be ashamed of. ”

Yan Biyun chirped: "Do you want to die? Didn't you look at him at the beginning? He was also beaten with blood on his forehead. ”

Xiao Xian'er was speechless for a moment, and looked at Su Jin with a red face, Su Jin smiled: "Xian'er loves me very much, beating is kissing and scolding is love, I understand." ”

The girls laughed, Xiao Xian'er blushed and picked up a wine glass and wanted to smash it, Su Jin calmly stretched out her head to accept it, Xiao Xian'er couldn't get down, stomped her foot to the side and didn't make a sound.

Huanniang smiled: "When I think of that time, it is really sweet and funny." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "Yes, let's get down to business, let's remember those things when we get to bed." In the laughter and scolding, Su Jin continued: "Do you feel that after following me, some of your thinking or life habits have changed a lot? ”

The women nodded and said, "That's nature, if you stay together for a long time, you will naturally affect each other." ”

Su Jin said: "It's not all for this reason, many of the rules of our Su family are different from the outside, you felt awkward at the beginning, and then you got used to it; For example, when I asked Xiao Sui'er Rou Niang and them to eat at the same table with me, they always felt awkward, even if they were forced to sit together, they bowed their heads and turned sideways and did not speak; And now, every time it's time to eat, they naturally sit together, although they still wait for me to eat first before they start, but when they eat, they also say that they laugh and no longer twist and pinch, is this changed by me? ”

Xia Siling covered her mouth and smiled: "That's because they are all yours...... Yours, who is still so reserved. ”

Rou Niang made a gesture to twist Xia Siling's face, but Xia Siling laughed and jumped away.

Before Su Jin could answer, Xiao Sui'er shouted: "Don't rely on the little maid, if it weren't for the son's insistence on everyone eating at the same table, how would he dare to eat at the same table as the master's family?" The rules are loose, and we still follow the rules when we go out. ”

Su Jin smiled: "I don't blame you, I just said that the power of this subtle effect, the habits that have been cultivated over many years, even the rules of the world in my head, are not unchangeable." ”

Yan Biyun said: "What does the husband want to say?" Why the more the slave family listens, the more confused they become. ”

Su Jindao: "Don't you think that there is something similar to the new coup d'état law about changing the habits that you have been?" ”

The women were still at a loss, and they didn't understand why Su Jin linked this matter with the new deal that had just been abolished.
