On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, there was a strong smell of sulfur everywhere in the air.

The sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky, starting from the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and became louder and louder day by day. On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is even more heard, from early morning to early afternoon.

In the back garden of Han Mansion, Han Gang's three older sons and daughters were walking on the snow and running around on the ground. A blizzard that had just ended the day before was a foot deep. The front courtyard has been cleaned, but the back garden has not been cleaned.

A few children screamed and laughed and ran around, smashing snowballs at each other, and the snow in the garden was trampled into pieces.

And the three younger ones were already able to walk on the ground, stumbling in the snow and crawling a few steps and walking a few steps, surrounded by a circle of nurses and maids, clapping their hands and leading them away.

Zhou Nan sat in the pavilion with a small hand stove, two stoves were lit in the pavilion, and the stone bench was covered with sheepskin cushions, but there was no cold air. The scarlet cloak was tightly wrapped around the body, and the collar was trimmed with a thick circle of fine fox fur, and the fluffy fox fur hid the slightly rounded cheeks, and smiled at the children playing in the snow.

"Be careful." Han Yunniang instructed the maid who served, "Keep an eye on your brothers and sisters, don't let them pounce in the snow." It's not sure what's underneath the snow. ”

All of them agreed.

Zhou Nan covered his mouth and smiled: "Yun Niang is also older, even if she was two years ago, she would still make trouble together." ”

Yan Suxin had already made preparations for today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, sat in the pavilion with Zhou Nan, and said: "After playing, let them take a hot bath, drink some hot soup to ward off the cold, and dissipate the cold." ”

Zhou Nan sighed: "It's all like a leather monkey, it's just a few brothers, how can Jin Niang go on like this!" ”

"Officials often say that it is good for children to run and jump. It's the sick who have a headache. Yan Suxin looked at a small building on the east side, "My sister went to the palace two days ago to inquire about the Empress Dowager's condition, and then she was pulled by Concubine Zhu Xian to ask about the parenting scriptures. Jun Guogong is just seeded with pox, which is still just as worrying. ”

In the only small building in the back garden, the children's cheers came in.

Xiaolou was originally known as Xiaoqionglou, but Han Gang felt vulgar, and together with the plaque of the poolside water pavilion named Tingyu Pavilion, he was thrown into the corner of the backyard by Han Gang and placed the sundries. The two buildings, Han Gang didn't even bother to afford a new name, so they were simply empty.

The main house in the house is being rebuilt, and the small building in the back garden has become Han Gang's temporary foothold, and the study has also been moved here.

Hearing the laughter outside the window, Han Gang was also smiling with relief, and said the same words as Yan Suxin: "It's a good thing to be spiritual, but it's bad to be sick." ”

"Officials, I don't listen to this year's income and expenditure!" Sitting opposite Han Gang, Wang Yi became impetuous.

Since they are all male and female, the daily expenses such as food and clothing at home are all managed by Wang Yi and Zhou Nan and the three of them. The end of the year is the time to close the accounts, although Han Gang did not ask for it, Wang Yi will always tell Han Gang about the year's family income and expenditure with the account book.

But Han Gang was impatient to listen to this. While flipping through a notebook that Shen Kuo had just sent—this was a new book that appeared under the influence of Han Gang—he was drinking warm sweet rice wine and lying on a white wooden chair, very leisurely. Lazily almost yawned: "You just look at it, it's not a big number." ”

After entering the wax moon, Wang Yi had more things to do, buying New Year's goods, new clothes, preparing New Year's gifts for others, and arranging servants at home. Taking the spare time, he worked hard to transcribe the account book in duplicate, but Han Gang had an expression of no intention to ask more.

Wang Yi was already tired enough, and then he looked at Han Gang's lazy appearance and didn't fight anymore: "Official, the slave family is a woman, and her vision is narrow, no better than that of an official in the yamen, and the numbers in his eyes are all hundreds of thousands, millions. The family spends 17,800 yuan a year, but I don't dare to say, 'It's not a big amount'! ”

Seeing that his wife was angry, Han Gang put down the wine cup and the book, got up to take her hand, and said with a smile: "Why did you start a fire?" Just listen to it for your husband. ”

Wang Yi twitched his hand, still with a straight face: "Official, where do the slaves dare to be angry." Zhilu Dao's family is rich, and the income of SF and Zhuangzi last year was 100,200,000 yuan, and the small money of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan should be ignored by officials. ”

The account sent by SF Express, as well as the production of the family in Longxi Zhuangzi, is regarded as a foreign account. It is controlled by Han Gang, and the Han family's family background is all on the external account. The account in Wang Yi's hand is the internal account. Only record the daily expenses of the family, and the expenditure of some small projects, such as the renovation of the house in the house this time, the budget is 2,000 yuan, which is the account in Wang Yi's hand. Wang Yi adhered to his duty and never asked Han Gang about the external account, but Han Gang took the initiative to tell him.

"The annual money sent from SF Express is 20,000 yuan. But it is only one-tenth of the dividends that can be shared, and the rest is temporarily stored in the firm. The income of Longxi Zhuangzi also has more than 100,000 yuan. I don't look at the external account, and I don't know that the family is so rich, my internal account is really ridiculous......"

Wang Yi said it was ridiculous, but there was no smile on his face.

Han Gang was puzzled, why did he suddenly get angry? He calculated the time in his heart, it was not yet a day, and there should be no open fire at this time.

But thinking about the past few days, Wang Yi has been busy until the third watch in order to clear the accounts and the New Year's ceremony, and probably knows what Lu Dao is for. Stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Yiqiang into his arms, patting his back gently, "Okay, okay, is it for the husband." You put the ledger here and look at it later. Take a good break in the afternoon. ”

Wang Yi was angry in her heart, and when she saw her husband fooling people like this, she struggled to get up. Han Gang grabbed her slender waist and didn't let go no matter how he struggled.

"Han Yukun!" Wang Yi shouted anxiously and angrily.

Han Gang looked at Wang Yi's angry appearance with a smile, and he was not afraid at all. He also deliberately tilted his head and looked at the window.

Wang Yi's body trembled immediately, she, the housemother, wanted to save face, and her voice was heard outside, so that her children and subordinates could hear it, and she would not be a person in the future. I didn't dare to make a sound again, but I bit my lower lip and earned even more.

Han Gang spoke softly in Wang Yi's ear, but his hand did not waver at all. His two arms can pull the stone five strong bows, and Wang Yi can't break away in every way.

After all, he still had little strength, but he couldn't withstand Han Gang's wrist strength, and after struggling for a long time, Wang Yi was already out of breath, and his hair was scattered. After the most reluctant, he twisted Han Gang's waist fiercely, and after glaring twice, he let his husband hold him and stopped moving.

Wang Yi calmed down for a while, and Han Gang didn't dare to make any more trouble. The wife was thin-skinned and cried with anger, and she didn't have a good face for a few days.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be so fine," Han Gang caressed his wife's back, the seemingly slender body didn't feel abrupt to the touch, and the tentacles were full of elasticity, "The fields and workshops controlled by the family now, the storefronts and trade routes under SF Express, plus the status in the Yongshang business, tangible and intangible assets, the value is more than 10 million yuan, not to mention it." Even if it is placed in Jiangnan, my Han family is also one of the top richest people! ”

Wang Yi didn't follow Han Gang with pride, propped himself up from Han Gang's arms, and said calmly: "Official, don't you think it's too much?" has only been an official for a few years, and he has tens of millions of belongings. ”

"Are you still afraid of burning your hands with more money?" Han Gang laughed twice, and when he saw Wang Yi's pair of black and white eyes looking at him calmly, he put away his smile, "This is the result of creating two new industries for my husband, but it is not by exploiting the people." This money is not a shame at all for the husband. ”

"Industry?" Wang Yi was puzzled.

"Just by accepting bribes, buying and selling, and trading goods, it is only hundreds of thousands of yuan in a lifetime. Therefore, Emperor Taizu said well, the measures are big and the eyes are small, and 100,000 yuan will be stuffed into the house. Han Gang didn't answer the question directly, but asked with a straight face, "But for the husband, what kind of big eyes are small?" ”

Wang Yi shook her head, of course her husband would not be like that, in fact, she had always been proud of her father and husband in her selfish heart. But she still didn't understand what Han Gang said.

Han Gang smiled slightly: "Longxi cotton cloth and Jiaozhou sugar, before becoming a husband, these two specialties did not exist. These two industries, born and prospered because of the husband, are now marketed all over the world and are very popular. Relying on the two industries in the south and north of the world as the core, SF Express can develop so fast, and the Yongqin merchants and the Longyou Fan will think that the husband and the horse are the first to look forward. This is the reason why the family has been able to accumulate tens of millions of dollars worth of belongings in a few years. …… To do the same business as others, you have to compete with others for inherent sources of profit, and it is not surprising that you will be in trouble. And creating an original business can spend all the strength of fighting for power and profit on the right business, which not only makes easy money, but also accounts for a lot of points. ”

Han Gang said excitedly, and sat up with his wife in his arms: "Those scholars, one or two, shouted that they would not compete with the people, but in fact, they didn't buy land and land?" Sima 12 said that there is so much wealth in the world, and if there are more officials, there will be fewer people. But after he bought land and got more of this benefit, wouldn't someone be missing this benefit? Isn't this also a competition with the people? ”

Wang Yi moved in Han Gang's arms and changed to a more comfortable position. After thinking about Han Gang's words, he said, "...... Tian was bought with money. ”

Han Gang smiled: "Tian can make profits, if it weren't for the urgency, how many people would take the initiative to sell the land?" Moreover, when bureaucrats buy land, they rarely buy the land, but focus on the good land, and in many cases, they even do everything to deceive and deceive. Isn't this a competition for profit? ”

Wang Yi frowned, feeling that what Han Gang said did make some sense, but he also felt that there were still some problems, that is, he didn't know where there was a problem.

Han Gang said loudly: "Since it has always been for prosperity, and for profit. Sima Junshi's generation, I don't know Xingli, I only know that Lu Dao said that he shouldn't fight for profit. The court wants to do things, and the people want to be rich, all of which depend on prosperity. Sima Jun said that there is a lot of wealth in the world, but there is not enough to share, and when the court is rich, the people will be poor. That's a good point, but what about pushing this truth to the people? There can only be people who are rich and people who are poor. So don't say that the world is the same, even the well-off can't do it. As a disciple of the Holy Gate, governing the country and leveling the world, don't you think about how to solve it? ”
