Chapter 33: Careful Planning
That night, Su Tiancheng had insomnia, and what Su Huawen said still touched his heartstrings, you must know that in this era, land is very important, the princes and relatives occupy the land in large quantities, relying on the harvest on the land, and they are so rich that even if they are big businessmen, the final development path is to buy land. No matter how ambitious you are, you always have to take it step by step, and if you lack the necessary foundation, and if it is not the difficulty of struggle, you may not be able to have a chance to get to the top. Don't think that the ancients were stupid, people were smart and saw many things clearly.
In this world, people are snobbish, no one can be exempt from vulgarity, you have no ability, and you can't blame others for looking down on you and bullying you, in such troubled times, the weak eat the strong, it is justified, so the development of their own strength is the most important, and the rest of the things can be put behind for the time being.
Su Tiancheng didn't have those foolish thoughts, and since he crossed over, he had experienced a series of things, which made him feel urgently that he must have a powerful armed force around him, at least to be able to protect himself.
Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places, because of the infestation of the rogue, many big and wealthy families have begun to recruit nursing homes, the original intention of nursing homes, of course, is to protect the mansion, but in Su Tiancheng's view, nursing homes are not simple, and they can make a big fuss about it.
The military tun system of the Ming Dynasty basically existed in name only, and the three major expeditions in the Wanli period were mostly recruited sergeants, and some sturdy sergeants would rather go to the homes of rich families to do nursing homes, and the treatment was good.
Su Tiancheng also thought that he could recruit some nurses, but to do such a thing, there must be silver, land, and without these necessary foundations, everything is empty talk. You may not have foresight, you may not be in the wind, standing on a high place, raising your arms, people will follow you with all their hearts, this is their own deception, the economic base determines the superstructure, as a leading cadre in his previous life, he understands the truth best.
Su Huawen agreed to allocate the land of Pingyang Mansion City to his own name, but this may not be realized, the key is that the eldest mother will come out to oppose it, Su Huawen has been relying on the eldest mother for a long time, and at the critical moment, he may not be able to insist, if he can't think of a way, he can't completely touch Su Huawen, I'm afraid he won't get these lands.
I don't have much time, I want to participate in the township test next year, at the end of July at the latest, I will be very busy in May after the winter wheat harvest, I will be very busy, guide the tenants to plant sweet potatoes and maize, guide the tenants to carry out field management, and must wait until the sweet potato and maize grow healthily, so that you can rest assured to go to Taiyuan Mansion to participate in the township test.
Therefore, the issue of land ownership must be thoroughly settled before the end of the year.
Su Huawen still has to stay in Pingyang Mansion for a while, since he is back, he always has to say hello to some old acquaintances, and he also has to walk around, it is already Layue, and he also thinks that he can talk to these businessmen, publicize it in advance, and say that it is the matter of the old mansion, Su Tiancheng is in charge.
Su Tiancheng didn't accompany him to visit, he couldn't do such a thing, the people Su Huawen went to visit, after all, they were all businessmen, and he was a scholar, before he achieved real fame, if he got into a bunch of businessmen, he would be known by those with ulterior motives, and it would be another condiment to deal with himself.
On the 10th day of December, at noon.
Su Pingyang hurriedly entered Su Tiancheng's room.
"Young Master, the eldest grandmother and the second young master are back."
Su Tiancheng stood up suddenly, he came so fast, Su Huawen came back on the eighth day of the first month, and they arrived on the tenth day of the first month.
Su Tiancheng has always felt that this letter from the Chamber of Commerce is not so simple, there must be content behind it, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it seems that something has been done this time.
"So, they're going back to the house soon?"
"Not necessarily, I heard Niu Er say that when they entered the city, Lei Fangui was waiting at the gate of the city, and they seemed to follow Lei Fangui to Lei's house."
"How did Niu Er know the Dao?"
"Niu Er came into the city to do something, and he happened to see it, so he followed from a distance, and after seeing the eldest grandmother and the second young master arrive at the Lei family, they hurriedly came over to report."
"Oh, Niu Er is also smart, is he still in the mansion now?"
"No, I originally wanted to leave him and leave after dinner, but he said that there was something wrong and left in a hurry."
The autumn wind sown only had night rain, and Su Tiancheng couldn't imagine that he would be rewarded so quickly.
God help me, Su Tiancheng smiled, the eldest lady and Su Tianran were so stupid, they returned to Pingyang Mansion City, and actually went to Lei Wentong's house, whether it was Lei Fangui picked it up at the city gate or not, or whether it was invited by others or not, they still have to have at least the ability to judge.
"Uncle, you go and find your father immediately, tell your father that your eldest mother and second brother have gone to Lei Mansion, you have to hurry, go and tell your father now, and be careful not to let others know about it."
By this time, Su Tiancheng could already conclude that this letter from the Chamber of Commerce was what Lei Wentong meant.
Lei Wentong's plan can be said to have grasped the key, through the hands of Su Huawen and the eldest mother, to strangle himself, just imagine, the land belongs to Su Tianhao or Su Tianran, how can he toss, no matter how he does it, it is not of much use, relying on thirty taels of silver per month, living a tight life, wanting to realize those ambitions, dreaming.
Besides, in such a situation, his fate is pinched in the hands of others, the things in the world are uncertain, and the fate must be grasped by himself, if Su Huawen suddenly encounters something and leaves, there is no way out for himself.
Lei Wentong's idea was originally good, but unfortunately, the eldest lady and Su Tianran returned to Pingyang Mansion City, of course, they went home directly, what are you doing at his house.
And Su Huawen has already understood the truth, the letter of the Chamber of Commerce has a direct relationship with Lei Wentong.
Half an hour later, Su Huawen returned to the mansion with a blue face.
He looked at Su Tiancheng and stopped talking.
"Father, the child has already expected that the letter from the Chamber of Commerce is what Lei Wentong meant."
"Kun Yuan, why do you say that, Boss Lei is your elder, so he wouldn't do such a thing."
"What did Lei Wentong do for this, the child didn't want to analyze it for the time being, but Lei Wentong had sinister intentions, the child could analyze it, the child can be sure, the letter from the Chamber of Commerce, the eldest mother also received it, and hurried here, the purpose is to teach the child, after the eldest mother arrived in Pingyang Mansion, she was taken to the house by Lei Fangui, the child didn't expect that Lei Wentong was so impatient."
"Oh, what do you think?"
"Father, the so-called family and everything is prosperous, if there is a conflict in the family, the government has no big way, the situation at home, the father is aware of the Tao, the child does not want to say more, if Lei Wentong cleverly said that the eldest mother, do you think, can the family still be stable, I don't know what will happen to the road, when the time comes, the father has no intention of dealing with the affairs of the store, and the child will also fall into the endless quarrels, there is such a situation, Lei Wentong is not the most happy."
Su Huawen had long suspected that Lei Wentong had done it, but he didn't expect that Lei Wentong actually sent a letter to his wife, not to mention whether there was really such a situation, his wife came to Pingyang Mansion City, and first went to Lei's house, what does this mean. Madame's thoughts, he is clear, and he has never expressed his position, but now, the matter is coming.
When he came to Pingyang Mansion, Su Huawen didn't tell his wife, but he also wanted to avoid some trouble.
Su Tiancheng's analysis made him more determined in his previous thoughts, no matter what, this time there are some things to be settled, otherwise, if there is a long delay, what will happen is uncertain.
"Kun Yuan, what you said makes sense, there are some things, I have my own decisions, many things in the past, I know the Tao, and I also know how to deal with it, after all, you are a junior, when you speak and do things, you still have to pay attention to your own attitude."
Su Huawen tactfully reminded Su Tiancheng that after Mrs. and Su Tianran went home, their attitude should be better, after two days of contact, he already felt that Su Tiancheng's personality had changed a lot, and he was afraid that he would not easily admit defeat, maybe there would be a fierce quarrel on the spot, and when the time came, he would not be able to coordinate.
