Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 64
"Zhu Gong is quite talented in management. His father died young, and he was the son of a maidservant. Therefore, he has no inheritance and cannot join the clan. In the past, he often planned things from Duke Ming, and when Duke Dingyou returned home, he would Find a job on your own and return to your own family."

Shen Zhezi listened carefully to Qian Feng's more detailed description of Zhu Gong, and had to say that compared with his own, this Zhu Gong's life experience was more like the protagonist of an online article who suffered a lot and had a deep hatred. So far, he has become a rich and wealthy party, which is so inspiring and touching.

The news reported by the Longxi soldiers earlier confirmed Shen Zhezi's conjecture, and he felt that Zhu Gong's stalking was disgusting.The entanglements between each other, speaking of which, it was Zhu Gong who flirted first.Shen Zhezi had just returned home a few days ago, and he had already chased after him unexpectedly. In comparison, he seemed to have no temper.

However, Shen Zhezi now had confidence, and was more concerned about Zhu Gong's family's wealth, so he asked Qian Feng: "From my uncle's point of view, if Zhu Gong is given enough time, how much can he raise in Wuzhong?"

"Grain prices are high nowadays, and every household closes its warehouses and is reluctant to sell. If Zhu Gong wants to raise grain, he must start with small households from poor families, and the accumulation will form a river. In terms of his financial resources, he can get [-] to [-] dendrobium."

Qian Feng is quite sensitive to numbers and is good at general affairs. After doing some calculations, he quickly gave Shen Zhezi an answer.

Seeing Qian Feng holding a long and short wooden stick horizontally and vertically, Shen Zhezi was dizzy seeing the calculation principle, and planned to wait for a while to make an abacus.Hearing this number, he felt a little satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile: "In this way, with the addition of the Zhu family's food storage, there can be sixty to seventy thousand, which is already very good."

Qian Feng also nodded with a smile and said: "This stingy man is all about economics, he doesn't seek a clear job, reverses the dirty tricks, collects money and hoards goods, and has already saved a lot in the past few years."

Based on the acres of land owned by the Zhu family, after deducting various expenditures and consumption, there would not be so much grain savings in the usual theory.The family has a big business, and it takes a lot of money to maintain it. With such a big family business, the Shen family's reserves will bottom out after more than half a year of tossing around.

Zhu Gong's official residence was the former magistrate of Zhang County, which is not considered a dignified official position, but it has one advantage, that is, he can control the officials and servants controlled by the county office.At present, official households are the main bearers of human labor in various places, collecting money, food and taxes, repairing water conservancy county offices, and maintaining domestic law and order.In front of the common people, there is a bit of authority and majesty, but to the chief officer, it is free labor and can be assigned at will.

Therefore, in the small county of Zhang, there can be more than a hundred officials and households. If all men and women are expropriated, it will be hundreds of laborers.As the magistrate of Guzhang County, Zhu Gong is equivalent to having hundreds of extra songs to farm and labor for him, and he is supported by the court money and food, without spending any money on him.This item alone can save thousands of Dendrobium grains every year.

At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the family business of the overseas Chinese was not prosperous. Even if they didn't want to, they often had to serve as the magistrate of a county in order to facilitate the purchase of properties in the local area to support their families.Yu Yi served as the magistrate of Jiyang County, and Xie Yi of the Xie family later served as the magistrate of Shan County, which has a lot to do with it.After Yonghe, this kind of phenomenon gradually decreased. There was food and fields in the family, and the Gao family was happy and at ease.

From this point of view, Zhu Gong is extremely persistent when it comes to money and wealth, which is exactly what Shen Zhezi wanted.

Shen Zhezi already knew the logic of Zhu Gong's behavior.That day when I took my aunt away from Zhu's house, it was considered a complete enmity with each other.Zhu Gong was relying on the fact that the Shen family was short of food, the more food he could raise, the more bargaining chips he had in his hand, and he could use this as a threat, not worrying about the Shen family's retaliation.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi might as well show weakness once he realizes that Xu Kuang's visit has ulterior motives.The more empty the Shen family is, the more unscrupulous Zhu Gong will be, waiting for the Shen family's food to be cut off, the more food he has in hand, the more benefits he will get.

The surplus grain of a small household can be dozens or even hundreds of hu, and the number of thousands is the limit.Acquisition is difficult and cumbersome, and consumes a lot of energy and financial resources, and we must beware of interference from other companies.Instead of this, it is better to leave this matter to Zhu Gong, Shen Zhezi will be happy to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

However, Shen Zhezi was also worried that Zhu Gong would not be able to collect enough food, so he deliberately added fire to make it even more difficult for this guy to ride a tiger.So on the one hand, he sent someone to forcibly take back his aunt's dowry property to anger Zhu Gong;

A few days later, members of the Xu family came to visit, and the leader was Xu Cheng, the patriarch who was over sixty years old.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the gray-haired Xu Cheng repeatedly accused him of crimes: "I really didn't know that my family was unscrupulous, hooked up with outsiders, and plotted to cause trouble! The old eyes are stupid, and I am ashamed of my old friend!"

Regarding Xu Cheng's words, Shen Zhezi did not doubt, stepped forward to help the old man, and said with a smile: "Xu Gong's words are serious, children and grandchildren have their own plans, this is human nature, how can an elder know all about it."

Xu Cheng didn't enter the hall first, but waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Bring me that rebellious person!"

As soon as the words were finished, Shen Zhezi turned his head to look, and saw Xu Kuang with his arms behind his back being lifted up with a disheveled expression, his clothes, beard and hair were all messed up, and he was not as leisurely as he was last time.

Xu Kuang was already terrified in his heart at this time, he left the Shen family earlier and stayed in Wukang, using the contacts he made when he was an official here to help Zhu Gong buy food from small households nearby.It wasn't until the previous family uncle came to Wukang and called him in front of him that he realized that the matter had been revealed.

At this time, seeing Shen Zhezi standing on the steps and looking at him calmly, Xu Kuang was more shocked than guilty.He really didn't expect that the young man already knew all these things behind his back, and he would stab his life right away as soon as he made a move!

The Shen and Xu families have been friends for generations, and the Xu family is attached to the Shen family. How can he destroy the friendship for many years? Xu Kuang can already imagine his tragic end.Now there is no point in trying to push back, Xu Kuang said with a gloomy expression: "Zhezi Xiaolangjun, the fault is only my own. I was bewitched by Zhu Mingfu's words, and it really has nothing to do with my family. The big mistake has been made. I dare not ask for forgiveness. I just I beg Mr. Xiaolang not to create a gap because of this."

"You still have the face to speak!"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng became even more furious. In a fit of rage, he raised his foot and kicked Xu Kuang to the ground, kicking him all the way down the court.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi quickly asked to be persuaded to pull him away, he was afraid that Xu Cheng, an old bone, might make mistakes at home.Now, Xu Kuang, a rebellious boy, will no longer end well, and the Xu family must punish this person severely to give the Shen family an explanation.

But right now, Xu Kuang is still useful.Shen Zhezi asked Xu Cheng, who was out of breath, to be helped into the living room to rest, and he bent down to help Xu Kuang who was in a state of distress, and brushed the dust off his body, and then said with a smile: "The two families are good. There is a gap. Uncle Shi, your mind wavered, and you made a mistake. Speaking of it, it is because my family didn't think carefully, which made you feel uneasy."

Xu Kuang didn't dare to say that, at this moment his thoughts were already in chaos, the more polite the young man treated each other, the more inexplicably he felt palpitations.

"In order to be at ease with each other, please come and watch with me."

Shen Zhezi beckoned, signaling for Xu Kuang to be untied, and then led him to the granary in the manor, ordered someone to open the granary, stretched out his hand in front of Xu Kuang and said, "Uncle Shi's concern is nothing more than the current noise and dust coming to my house. There is no food, please come in and check carefully."

Xu Kuang was completely confused at this time, he would not trust Zhu Gong's words and betray Shen's family, so he came to visit to find out the truth.But Shen Zhezi's reaction clearly told him that his family was running out of food, and now he was led to the granary again.

Although he had accepted his fate, Xu Kuang still had doubts in his heart. He gritted his teeth and stepped into the warehouse. He was even more stunned when he saw that more than half of the warehouse was filled with rice grains.He couldn't help but go forward to check it himself, and it was true that there was no shortage of real grain. In this warehouse alone, there was at least ten thousand stones of grain!

Shen Zhezi didn't say much, leaving it to Xu Kuang to experience.When the guy walked out of the granary with a dull expression, he led him to the next warehouse.

All these warehouses in the manor have been detoured, and each has a reserve of rice and grain. As far as Xu Kuang saw, there were tens of thousands of stones!In addition to rice grains, there are also dried vegetables and fish, dried vegetables and fruits, etc., which are a lot of savings!
The physical impact is far greater than the numbers on the books.If Xu Kuang was lucky in the beginning, now that he sees the abundance of storage in the Shen family, he is ready to die!He was blinded by lard, so he gave up the thick legs of the Shen family to hug Zhu Gong's thin arms!
However, Shen Zhezi still felt that the psychological blow to this guy was not enough, so he said casually: "Yesterday, my uncle went to Tiaoxi to collect rice grains and prepare to transport them to Wucheng. There are about [-] dendrobium in this batch. Before the frost, there can be another turnaround." Approved. If Uncle Shi had come one day earlier, he would have returned with my uncle, but today I missed it."

If he had heard this before, Xu Kuang would have doubted the authenticity of this statement, but the impact of seeing the real thing now is quite different from what he imagined.At this moment, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse. When he heard Shen Zhezi say this again, Dang even covered his face and burst into tears: "One thought, one thought... I am really stupid, and I am in vain!"

With this little psychological quality, still be a rebel?
Seeing Xu Kuang bursting into tears, Shen Zhezi could probably guess that his intestines are full of regret.He felt a little happy in his heart, but it was nothing to see a big man crying, so he walked aside and waited for Xu Kuang to calm down.

After a while, Xu Kuang stopped crying, his small eyes were red, and he walked in front of Shen Zhezi with difficulty, and said in a sad tone: "Mr.

"Well, speaking of it, I'm young and shallow. The last time Uncle Shi came to the door, I should let you transport the food away. It's just that the elders are not at home, so I don't dare to make a decision in my heart, otherwise the matter will not end here."

Shen Zhezi would never admit that he was deliberately fooling this buddy, so he said with a heartbroken expression.

"After all, I was short-sighted and dark-minded. I mistrusted Zhu Gongfu and made a mistake!"

Having said this, Xu Kuang's face was full of hatred.Thinking back now, many of Shen Zhezi's reactions last time were normal and should be. It is hateful that he mistakenly believed that Zhu Gong was the first, so that he made a wrong judgment based on preconceived ideas.

After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have no face to ask for forgiveness, but now I can only report Zhu Gong's conspiracy to the Lord to pay for the previous crime."
