Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 402;
Chapter [-]: Be cruel to your own people

Lu Jishan, who had arranged affairs for a day, did not show any signs of fatigue. The body of a man in his prime is at the time when he is full of energy. Lu Jishan, who returned to the mansion after dark, asked his servants clearly.
Aye, the great patriarch and a group of clan elders were gathering in the great patriarch's yard, sharing the three catties of immortals to get drunk, Lu Jishan didn't delay, and went directly to the side yard of the great patriarch, and heard the excitement as soon as he entered the yard With the sound of speaking, Lu Jishan walked into the hall with steady steps.

A group of old men in the hall greeted Lu Jishan with smiles;
"My brother is back."

"Brother."

"My nephew is on duty."

"Nephew, where did you get the wine? It's much more delicious than the previous Wuliangye."

Lu Jishan also responded with a smile on his face;

"As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good, I pay my respects to the patriarch, Aye, my uncles, and my elder brothers."

After Lu Jishan saluted and greeted everyone, he stood beside his family Aye. One of the old men looked at Lu Jishan and said with a smile;
"Brother, we won't ask you to sit down. The situation is not right today. You can't sit down. Brother, you can't blame us old guys for being rude!"

Lu Jishan cupped his hands and replied calmly;

"Brother, let's drink by myself, don't worry about me. Since ancient times, there have been old and young, and father and son have different seats. I, Aye, are sitting today. I just stand.

And I sat in the yamen of Cangbu Division for a long time, and now I just stand and change positions. Uncles and brothers, you don’t have to worry about me if you eat wine and meat yourself. "

An old man looked Lu Jishan up and down for a long time, but seeing that Lu Jishan remained motionless, smiling and facing the crowd, the old man put down the wine cup in his hand, and said to the two distinguished patriarchs above;
"The patriarch, the patriarch, the uncles of the family, good brothers, why do I look at my brother today, he is a little different from usual, you also take a look, is it my eyes?"

The patriarch turned his head to look at Lu Jishan, the light in his eyes exploded for a moment, then he turned around and changed into his usual ~ kind face;

"What's the difference? Sixth, don't you eat a lot of wine, and you're a bit over the top?"

Old Situ swallowed a mouthful of braised pork in a leisurely manner, and said;
"What's the difference? It's still the same. As long as this person sticks to the rules, he will naturally look pleasing to the eye. If there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, top and bottom, and inside and outside, then such a person will not look good." It's so pleasing to the eye.

Now Jishan is nothing more than taking the rules a little more important, so you feel more pleasing to the eye. "

The old man who spoke before seemed to be about the same age as Lu Jishan's Aye, but after hearing the old Situ's words, he quickly lowered his head before speaking;
"Yes, Uncle, what you taught is right. My nephew will keep your teachings in mind. I told my uncle that today I have observed my younger brother for a while, and found that my younger brother's energy is much better today. His eyes are bright and he is calm. Steady and introverted, it is obviously different from before.”

Another old man next to him also spoke in time;
"That's right, the two patriarchs, I also see that my brother is very different today. Even the standing posture is as motionless as a mountain, and he looks a little more noble."

"Isn't it? If you say it like this, it will be different when I look at it..."

"Ah."

"exactly."

Old Situ looked at many clan elders who came to praise his dear son, he was filled with joy, but the expression on his face was still calm, he waited for everyone to finish talking, then he raised the wine respecter in his hand;
"Come, come, let's bless the great patriarch's body with a long life like a pine tree, and take our authentic third house of the Fanyang Lu family to flourish and reproduce the glory of our ancestors!"

"it is good."

"Yes, uncle."

Everyone agreed with a bang, those of the same generation sat still, and those of the lower generation stood up holding the wine cup over their hearts, arched forward with both hands holding the wine cup, and then drank it all in one gulp , just sat down again.

Old Situ put down the wine master and asked calmly;
"My son Jishan, you have been a duty officer for a day, but after the rest you can't go back to your own room to rest, so you came to the courtyard of the chief patriarch, why?"

Lu Jishan, who was standing motionless by the side, had already organized his speech, and when he saw his own Aye asking, he lowered his body;

"Returning to Aye, today Li Yu, the founding county uncle of Lantian County and the new generation patriarch of the Li family's second house in Longxi, went to Cangbu Sili under the emperor's order.

He had the first meeting with the officials of the Cangbu Division, and it was decided that in the next day, all the big players involved in the liquor sales would go to the Cangbu Division to pay and pick up the goods, and they would wait in Chang'an City and the nearby Luoyang City. In the county town, try to sell these two high-quality spirits.

A three-day sales deadline was also set, no matter how much can be sold within these three days, each portal needs to report the details, and then the distribution of the right to sell liquor under heaven will be made public. "

"Oh? Then tell the chief patriarch the details. It just so happens that many elders of my Lu family are also on the spot. If you have any important matters, you can directly bring them to the table and discuss them carefully."

"Yes, Ayer."

Lu Jishan turned to where the chief patriarch was sitting, saluted before continuing to speak;
"I want to report to the patriarch, Li Xianbo suggested that the previous Wuliangye should be sold to common people's homes for [-] renminbi a bucket, and for our big family here, the purchase price should be set at [-] renminbi.

Taking Chang'an City as the central axis, the price of this kind of wine is within two hundred miles. Those who are two hundred miles away, and the big households within four hundred miles, will get seventy yuan per bucket, and those who are two hundred miles away will get another seventy yuan per bucket. , It is used to subsidize the food for the coolie who pulls alcohol, and I am here to report to the chief patriarch to know, please make a decision. "

Except for old Situ who was still savoring the dishes on the table unhurriedly, everyone else put down their chopsticks, looked at Lu's chief patriarch, and waited for the chief patriarch to speak.

The chief patriarch of the Lu family put away his usual kind smile, and his face was serious and cautious;

"It is sold to everyone in the world for [-] yuan a bucket. The price of wine set by Li Xianbo is really high. The Wuliangye I ate a few days ago is clean, thorough, and extremely spicy. It is what a good man must drink.

It is more than ten times more delicious than the top-grade turbid wine that is ten thousand dollars worth of wine, but instead of raising the price of the wine, it has lowered it to such a level.
And every [-] miles, the big households are subsidized with [-] yuan for foot strength and food, and the consideration is detailed and thoughtful. It can be seen from this matter alone that the new patriarch of the Li family's second house in Longxi has a long-term vision and an open-minded heart. For big things, you can talk freely if you want to talk, don't hold back. "

As soon as the head of the Lu family spoke, everyone started to discuss, and the elders of the second and second rooms of the big house spoke enthusiastically and discussed with each other.

"That's right, what the chief patriarch said is not false at all. The patriarch of the Li family's second room, despite his young age, acts in ways that ordinary people can't figure out.

If ordinary people were to deal with it, they would have to set a wine price worth more than [-] yuan, but the patriarch of the Li family's second room was not greedy for credit, but kept the price of the wine down to this point, which shows his foresight. Much higher than ordinary people! "

"Well, what the third brother said is also true. The price of this kind of wine is that of some rich peasants. When the distinguished guests come to the house, they can come to entertain the guests with two catties.
With such a low price of wine, the sales level and quantity in the future will definitely be many times higher than that of the ten thousand yuan fine wine in the past. "

A younger old man shook his head and spoke;
"Yes, yes, and every [-] miles away, the price of wine will be reduced by another [-] yuan. If we bring back Fan Yang's hometown, we can reduce it by another [-] yuan for a bucket of wine.

Just this subsidy will save an additional 280 yuan per bucket, which is almost as good as the usual profit.

In the future, there is no need to arrange a lot of people to brew, and there is no need to buy grain, just to bring the ready-made liquor back and sell it for money. Of course, this business can be done. "

Opposite the talking old man, an older clan elder picked up the quarrel;

"Most of what my nephew said is correct, but I forgot one important thing. The wine-pulling team is full of horses, so it has to be counted. No one else will take care of our Lu family's meal. , we still have to pay for it out of our own pockets.”

"Well, what the fourth brother said is reasonable. Of course, these must be counted. Otherwise, the last credit will not be counted before and after the credit. Isn't that a muddled account?"

"The fourth uncle is right, but my nephew just didn't say that the food and drink of the servants are not counted. It's just that the nephew thinks that the servants can't use a lot of food. It's the old rule to bring food for their own use along the way, so it can't be spent. How much."

Immediately another old man started to support Dafang;
"That's right, to tell Uncle Qi, what Brother Nine said makes sense, our servants just need to bring enough dry food to eat by themselves,
The food is produced in our own fields, and it is only calculated according to the cost. Doesn't this increase the profit a lot? "

"Exactly, seventy coins for a bucket of wine, and thousands of buckets back at a time, hundreds of yuan of subsidy, how can I spend it all, if it is all used for the servants' meals, wouldn't it be a big waste!

Our Fan Yang Lu family has always been very kind to our servants, but there is a limit to this kindness. We can't really spend all the hundreds of thousands of subsidies on the servants, right? "

"Yeah yeah……"

After waiting for the clan elders to discuss and discuss enough, the chief patriarch of the Lu clan asked about Lu Jishan;
"Brother, although the profit of this fight of wine is not too much, the advantage is that the price of wine is low, but it is also a very good business, but I don't know how much the price of the immortal drunk we are sharing today, and how much it is given to the big family. How much profit did they arrange?"

"Back to the patriarch, this immortal is drunk for a bucket of thirty pennies, which is specially sold to the rich and noble people in the world to enjoy.

The officials in the Cangbu Division first gave a price of one bucket and three guan, but some officials felt that it was too little, so they discussed giving up a little more profit, and finally set a price of one bucket of immortal drunkenness. On the head of Wuguan's profit.

As a result, the patriarch of the second family of the Li family suggested that the profit of a Dou Immortal Drunk should be set at Qiguan, but there was no more than half of the people in the Cangbu Division who agreed, and it was impossible to make a decision.

I had no other choice, so I went to see His Majesty in person, and it happened that Fang Du and the two ministers were also with His Majesty, the three of us worked together, and finally made it clear to Your Majesty, and got the Immortal drunk on Qiguan's sharp head,

As for the two hundred miles, the extra [-] qian subsidy was directly rejected by His Majesty, saying that Li Xianbo was wasting too much, and finally set the same price as Wuliangye's subsidy at [-] qian, and there was nothing else. "

The patriarch of the Lu family nodded and said;
"The profit of five guans is already quite a lot. With the amount of seven guans, the big households involved in the sale will be very happy."

A group of clan elders began to gossip again, praising Bo Renyi of Li County, and the price of the wine set was so high that the big households involved had nothing to say.

Old Situ answered softly;
"I'm afraid that the subsidy of [-] yuan for the [-] miles was deliberately waiting to be cut off by the emperor. This son's thoughts are meticulous."

When the old Situ woke up to this sentence, everyone began to realize it, and said that Li Yu was resourceful, like an old fox, and it was not something a young boy who had just tied his hair could do.

Lu Jishan watched a group of old men discussing enough, and then opened his mouth to express his thoughts;

"I'd like to report to the patriarch, Aye, all the elders, that County Uncle Li is not a vicious person, you can tell from his face, and the two of us have a very happy conversation, and when we get to the point where we have a deep affection, then Li The magistrate revealed,

His Majesty regards the sale of liquor as very important. Those who do not want to participate will not be forced by the imperial court, but those who dare to make trouble along the way, I am afraid that when His Majesty is free to do it, the score will be settled after autumn!
I thought about it carefully, and the situation is indeed like this. With His Majesty's character of rewarding and punishing, he will not easily let go of those who are against him. Please learn from the two patriarchs! "

The eyes of the great patriarch of the Lu family burst into light, and he stared at Lu Jishan and asked word by word;

"You want to talk about the third room?"

Old Situ didn't seem to have heard the conversation between the two of them, he poured a small glass of white wine on his own, ate it happily, and went to take two mouthfuls of vegetables to press the wine.

A group of clan elders heard the patriarch mention the third room, and all of them cast their eyes on Lu Jishan. Facing the majesty of the patriarch, Lu Jishan showed no humility and saluted again;
"Returning to the chief patriarch, that's exactly the case. If the uncle of the third room is not in a coma and can still preside over the overall situation, I will naturally not worry, and at this moment, I will also bring the elders of the third room to share with our eldest room and the second room. advance and retreat.

Of course!Uncle is in a coma on the couch and can no longer preside over affairs. Lu Congshan, the younger brother of the third room, is vacillating from side to side. I am afraid that he will be deceived by someone with a heart, and will be fooled by a villain. I am afraid that the entire Fanyang Lu family will be implicated. Please sir Patriarch Mingjian!Focus on the big picture! "

The patriarch of the Lu family looked at Lu Jishan up and down, turned his head, and returned to his usual old man's appearance, as if he had already had an idea in his heart;
"You all talk, say whatever you want, don't worry about it tonight."

The patriarch of the Lu family spoke, and his second brother, who was next to him, immediately stood up;

"Brother Qi, the younger brother of the third room doesn't know how deep it is. If An An doesn't get involved in this matter, it's fine.

I'm afraid that he will waver and lose his heart in the end, and stand on the opposite side of the royal family, and then the catastrophe will fall immediately!

Eldest brother can't let them go and bring disaster to my Lu family. I think the same as Brother Jishan, please make a decision early to completely remove the root of the disaster. "

Just as the second child in the big house finished speaking, the third child also stood up;
"The patriarch, we must not let him and the third family ignore him. Our Fanyang Lu family has always been the last family name among the five surnames and seven surnames. It has never been as strong as other families. It is really unwise to make enemies with the royal family. I agree with both of them."

The patriarch of the Lu family nodded and motioned the two younger brothers to sit down. The old Situ next to the patriarch inadvertently glanced at the elders of the second room, then became slow again and poured himself a small cup. Baijiu, brought it under his nose, smelled it and put it down again.

Old Situ's only direct brother raised his hands in salute while seated;
"To the patriarch, the matter of the third room seems to be insignificant, but in fact it is not. Our ancestors of Lu also know that my Lu family is the bottom family of the five surnames and Qiwangli.
So for hundreds of years, I have been careful and cautious, and I always use my strength to fight effortlessly. I always do it one or two steps earlier than others to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

This makes our Fanyang Lu family more and more secure, and the business is getting better and better. As the saying goes, a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall, and the unstable factors of the three houses exist in it, which is really a big hidden danger!
I suggest that the middle palace go straight to force his third house to advance and retreat with our eldest house and second house, so that we can maintain the centuries-old tradition of our Lu family and stand on the same line with the royal family of all generations. Please make a decision as soon as possible. "

As soon as old Situ's younger brother finished speaking, the third son, the most social concubine in the second room, immediately spoke up to support him;
"I would like to report to the patriarch, not all the powerful families and wealthy families in this world agree with the royal family's decision this time.

There are still some of them who are maintaining a middle ground, not expressing their positions, not speaking, and not participating in it.

According to the results of the children in my house who went out to inquire, there are still some sects who are still opposed. Not only do they not participate, but they even oppose the royal family.

Among the dozens of families that danced the most, there were several important figures from several families who fought fiercely with Lu Congshan from the third house.

We meet several times every now and then, and recently we meet more frequently. The children in my house have gone out for the past few days, and they have already figured out everything and reported it to me.

Although the aristocratic families have united to fight against the royal family, they have indeed won countless rounds for hundreds of years,

But today's situation is different from the previous history. It is well known that the current royal ruler is decisive in killing, he is also a holy lord with clear rewards and punishments, and he is also an ambitious figure.

Not much to say, everyone should be able to understand what I mean, if once you get into the scene of going against the royal family, I'm afraid it's not easy to let it go!
And on this matter, the attitude of the aristocratic families is not monolithic, not to mention that half of the families have already joined in,

Even those who didn't participate, and a small half of them didn't move left or right. Even if the remaining ones could compete with the royal family with a few tricks, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go to stabilize the situation~.

Finally, let’s talk about the benefits of this baijiu. Immortals are drunk seven times, Wuliangye is seven hundred dollars, and there is an extra bucket of seventy yuan for every two hundred miles.

Under such a situation, it is clear that there is a battle of chariots and horses. If you agree to participate and maintain one heart with the royal family, that is mutual benefit. Behind such a big profit, if you oppose...

I'm afraid the consequences will be the same as Na Litou's, so I suggest that if Sanfang obeys obediently, then it's fine.

If they dare not agree, then get rid of the troubles directly, open the main ancestral hall of the Lu family, and please show the family laws and regulations of my Lu family ancestors,

Take back the property that his three families had when they separated, leaving their own money, and they can do whatever they want.

To be on the safe side, it's best to expel their Sanfang from my Fanyang Lu family's authentic sect, and form their Sanfang into a branch!

In this way, the disasters they caused will be borne by themselves, and there is not much threat to my entire Lu clan.

Even if it is cleaned up by the royal blood in the future, it will not be bad for us, and it can be regarded as his own fault. No wonder others, please don't delay the patriarch, and make a decision as soon as possible! "
