The people in front of the mansion were so talkative, it was really inconvenient to ask questions.
So Sun Shaozong endured his doubts and had a laugh with the cheap brother.
It wasn't until he entered the inner hall and used excuses to wave back all the servants, he stopped smiling and asked straight to the point: "Brother, what our family originally looked like, there are probably not many in these four and nine cities who don't know. Yes, now that you have only been in the rank of seven or eight years, you are just throwing money away like this - I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to spread it out?"
"inappropriate?"
Sun Shaozong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Don't worry, our family has earned this money for free, not to mention that someone is talking about it, even if the Ministry of Household Qing officials come to the door. , Lao Tzu is equally frank!"
After speaking, seeing that Sun Shaozong was still skeptical, he briefly explained the origin of this fortune.
But it turned out that four years ago, one of Sun Shaozu's sworn brothers, followed the nine provincial chief inspector Wang Taiwei [Wang Zi Teng] to the south to clear up the sea troubles, and was in charge of the anti-smuggling, arresting and theft matters along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi.
In view of the fact that Guangdong and Guangxi had just been developed at this time and were still in the wild, in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the frontier army and slack, Wang Ziteng specially requested a decree to allow the two navy divisions to seize 10% of the stolen goods and sell them on their own as military funds.
The common goods, the Guangdong and Guangxi navies are all sold directly on the spot, but some rare 'Yangluo', it is really not very cost-effective to sell to the local indigenous people.
Therefore, when Sun Shaozu became a sworn brother, he simply packed a boat full of the rare objects he had collected and sent them to the capital, and asked Sun Shaozu to sell them.
Sun Shaozu thought it was a hassle at first, but in just three days, these 'foreign falls' were looted by dignitaries in the capital and sold for more than 60,000 taels of silver. As a 'middle man', he was also divided up. More than 4,000 taels of dividends.
After this battle, both sides felt that this was a good deal, so every three or five months thereafter, some rare items would be shipped from Guangdong and Guangxi to be sold by Sun Shaozu in Beijing, and the scale was bigger every time.
By the fall of last year, a total of thirteen large ships came from Guangdong and Guangxi. This time alone, Sun Shaozu made a huge profit of 60,000 taels!
"Big brother."
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning and said: "It was just a small fight before. Do you really believe that this thing worth more than one million taels is their trophy?"
"Of course not!"
Sun Shaozu laughed and showed himself triumphantly: "So after finishing the sale last fall, I gave this hot potato to the Zhongshun Palace—otherwise, why would you think I would dare to go with King Beijing's eldest brother? To fight for the fat queer of this commander?"
No wonder the manager Zhou of the palace said that he often went to the palace for official business, but it turned out to be for this!
Seeing that the cheap brother was not blindfolded by the white money, but instead took the opportunity to catch up with the thick legs of the Zhongshun palace, Sun Shaozong finally let go of his worries.
but…
This King Zhongshun is also selling 'official salt' and underwriting 'trophies', isn't his hand stretched too long
Even the brother of the emperor's mother's compatriots, so blatantly digging the corner of the court, is really too much.
Wouldn't he suddenly collapse one day, and instead would be implicated in the Sun family
Hearing this question, Sun Shaozu smiled mysteriously: "It's right to stretch it long, but this hand may not be his own."
After saying that, he went out and looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he returned to the hall and said in a low voice: "After the Emperor Taishang took the throne, he did not pay attention to the government affairs in the DPRK, except for two things. If you are willing to let go, the first is financial power, and the second is military power!"
"Therefore, the palm of your Majesty's hand is a little empty today!"
Seeing the meaningful expression on the cheap eldest brother's face, Sun Shaozong suddenly realized that this King Zhongshun is actually the emperor's white gloves, no wonder he acted so recklessly!
And it was not until this time that Sun Shaozong finally realized that he had been underestimating the cheap big brother Lin Daiyu's four words 'bear skin and fox heart', in fact, it should be placed on his head!
After clearing the suspicion of 'a huge amount of property of unknown origin', Sun Shaozu ordered a banquet to be held in the hall, and the two brothers drank happily.
In the middle of the time, Jia Lian sent someone to bring half a tiger whip with a 'top flower and thorns'. The two were drinking happily, but they were patient with the gimmick of 'five sons' and directly called the cook to make a barbecue.
After eating up, Sun Shaozu ordered people to call those concubines in the backyard to help, saying that he would not let down the half of the 'tiger whip'.
Sun Shaozong persuaded a few words, but when he saw that he couldn't stop him, he hurriedly pretended to be incapable of drinking and left the table in a panic.
It's just because this cheap eldest brother likes to hold the no-cover meeting after drinking too much - he doesn't mind sharing women with Sun Shaozong, but Sun Shaozong really can't pass the hurdle in his heart!
tsk~
The transmigrators have not yet opened up their indigenous concepts, so what reason do you think this is true
-Dividing line-
With the power of the 'five whips', Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong naturally spent another sleepless night that night.
Early the next morning, he yawned all the way to the government office, and saw a lot of people outside the gate. Among them, a young woman was kneeling in front of the carriage in Jia Yu Village, crying and talking about something—that hot filial pear flower belt It was raining, but it was the Hu family who complained of injustice yesterday.
Hot Xiao
Could it be that Zhou Liang is dead? !
Sun Shaozong shuddered, and he lost all sleep.
He turned over and dismounted, and quietly got into the circle, just as he heard Jia Yucun's righteous words: "Dumbling officials and harming the people, it's actually this! This manor can't just sit back and ignore it! Hu Shi, you And take this official's famous post to the Dali Temple to file a complaint - if the Dali Temple refuses to accept it, this official will go to your Majesty and make a blunt remonstrance!"
Saying that, Jia Yucun arched his hands upward at a forty-five-degree angle, with an upright face and contempt for power.
That Hu shi was naturally grateful and burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master Qingtian, thank you, Master Qingtian!"
When the servants handed over Jia Yucun's famous post, the Hu family thanked him a lot, and then hurried away clutching the famous post.
When the Hu family was far away, Jia Yucun Shi Shiran got off the carriage, smiled at Sun Shaozong, and said, "Since my virtuous brother arrived early, why are you hiding there and watching my jokes?"
joke
Combined with his words yesterday, the scene just now was indeed a little ridiculous.
But after hearing the praises all around, where did Sun Shaozong laugh
He just stepped forward and cupped his hands silently, but he didn't know what to say.
Jia Yucun was very free and easy. He dragged him into the gate of the government office under the watchful eyes of the people. Seeing that there was no one to his left or right, he said a little proudly: "How is it? Brother Yu is not as good as you today, but it is not the same. Have a name of Qingtian?"
Speaking, he didn't wait for Sun Shaozong to respond, and said sternly: "If this case really involves Wang Qian, I don't want the name of Qingtian now - but what about you, brother? Just this cheap life will let you You have a deadly feud with that Wang Qian!"
"When you are in the officialdom, you should be cautious and focus on stability. You are rampant like my brother, but it is not a long-term solution!"
In the face of Jia Yucun's sincere words, Sun Shaozong could only remain silent.
Although these remarks are not correct in three aspects, they are worthy of the four characters of 'the most reasonable words' in official circles.
only…
In his previous life, he could stick to the bottom line of being a human being, but this mother-in-law has traveled back to ancient times, so could it be that he has to join forces with corrupt officials instead
