Chapter 12 Difficult Start

After Xu Zi put down his pen first, he was about to have dinner with his younger sister. Xu Ming came to report that Kong and Mr. Kong were here.

Xu Zi didn't change his robe and invited Kong He to sit in the study room. The little girl avoided it first. The little maid Yiran brought the tea tray to serve tea.

After Kong He waited for Yi Ran to go out, he took out a book book from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Crown Prince, fortunately, I have finally found some evidence, which has grabbed the ox-yellow dog treasure of the father and son of the Li family..."

Xu Zixian took the account book with a smile and scanned it briefly... Kong He's ability is really good. If you check Li Cheng, you can't check how many benefits he has gained in the hidden house, and even how many hidden houses there are cannot be strictly investigated now. This is a matter in the future.

Kong He found out that the Li family father and son used more than 600 households in the official villages, and more than 1,000 Dingkou took turns to do things for him.

The Hou Mansion employs forty days a month, and less than 400 people work in a year. The rest are ordered by the Li family and his son to do short-term work. They harvest and harvest twice a year, and plant in summer and autumn. Ordinary farmers who are not well-manned will also hire short-term workers, starting at least 60 cents a day... In addition, the shops in several nearby towns need short-term workers, and they also use Guanzhuang's labor force to support them. Several shops have cooperated with the Li family and his father and son. The shops in the shops give little wages, while the Li family and his son have paid for them. They have put the money in this labor force and put them in their own pockets.

The merchants in Guanzhuang dare not refuse. This kind of labor force lasts forty days. If they offend Li Cheng, who is expelled from his status after being expelled from his status, although the traitors in the government have been forty days, it is much harder than this kind of labor force.

Although I was digging rivers and building roads, I was in my hometown. I was most afraid of being transferred to the palace to be a prisoner, a commissar, a sedan chair, a gatekeeper, or a squeaker. I was not allowed to go home for dozens of days, and the food I offered was poor. I even became a postman, a shopkeeper, or a yamen, or a jail station, and a jail escort prisoners. I really had to take off a layer of skin. Most people traveled far away for more than forty days, and it was very common to get back after doubled.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Xu Zixian knew that after a brief look, the father and son of the Li family had made a lot of money, and thousands of people kept taking turns to make money for him. Can we lose it?

Kong He's accounts were clearly calculated. Li Cheng could make at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan a year in this matter, and in more than ten years, he got several million yuan.

Xu Zixian was secretly angry. His father had been an official for several years but was not as good as Li Cheng, a servant. He was really a bully.

Of course, Li Cheng would hand in part, but that happened many years ago. In recent years, it has been an excuse for refugees to grab business, and the money for exemption has been reduced by more than 70%.

All of this money falls into the hands of Li Cheng and his son. The retainers live more comfortably than their masters. It is ridiculous to say, but if you think about it carefully, it will certainly make people extremely angry.

Kong He said again: "The father and son of the Li family built a courtyard in Jiazhuang, with five wooden bone gates, dozens of rooms inside, including front houses and back gardens, and large houses that have been in the past few days. Are you living a happy life."

Xu Zixian sneered: "No wonder he heard that Li Cheng had more than a dozen concubines in his family. Li Fu had two concubines of his age. They were very rich."

"There are also headscarf shops, shoe shops, blacksmith shops, and grocery shops in the town." Kong He said: "These four shops alone cannot be opened without hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"I didn't expect that my marquis's mansion was not luxurious and lived a simple life, so I actually raised such a big rat at home."

Xu Zixian thought to himself, after calculating this, Li Cheng was a fat sheep. His house was worth at least one million yuan, and several shops were worth one million yuan. He was afraid that he still had a lot of cash and a lot of land. His family's capital was at least five or six million yuan... Of course, this sounded scary. If at the current price, one thousand yuan was worth one tael of silver, Li Cheng's family property was only five or six thousand taels of silver. The small landlords in the Ming and Qing dynasties had the same net worth, which was not too amazing.

But then he thought about it, Xu Zixian also covered his face... After all, his family was a marquis of the royal family. He estimated that the mansion was in Fuzhou City, and it was worth at least 10 million yuan, but this was a mansion given by the royal family. It had to be paid back after the title was released from the sect, so it was not considered his own property.

The villa is home to its own, and Nan'anze Town is also very prosperous. The courtyard is surrounded by official villages, which are easy to manage and supervise, and the scenery is also good. It was originally the first generation of Nan'an Hou built it as a villa. It is not large in scale, but it is better than small and unique. Three million yuan is probably worth it, so it is almost the same price.

There are still many utensils in the mansion in the city, and so are other courtyards, but the imperial gifts cannot be sold, and no one dares to buy them. Many ordinary utensils have been sold for two generations. Xu Zixian was also amused and laughed. His ancestors were really not good at managing them, and they were begging for food in Jinshan.

In addition, the official village was given by the emperor and could not be resold or recovered. It is considered a real hardcore crop, but the annual income of more than 100,000 yuan is too small.

In fact, after a little review, the Houfu Foundation should be able to provide more than one million yuan in income a year. A real man should be able to use a three-foot sword to pacify the world, but the most urgent task is to not be short of money, otherwise the hero will inevitably be short of breath and the love between children and children will be long.

Kong He did not interrupt Xu Zixian's thoughts and sat quietly aside to drink tea.

This shows that this is a smart person who speaks when he knows that he should speak, and keeps talking when he should not speak.

"Mr. Kong..."

"Prince, please call me Xuanping."

"Okay, Brother Xuanping, Li Cheng and his son must be eliminated, but they will affect their whole body. Before that, I will make some preparations and delay the time... Xiuniang is from Guanzhuang, Yi, and her father Xie Quan should be easy to search. I will ask Brother Xuanping to bring five thousand coins to do something important for me later."

Kong He bowed and smiled and said, "The matter of checking the account is finished. I am idle and have nothing to do. But the prince gave me instructions and I will serve you."

After Kong He left, Xu Zi pondered for a moment, feeling that the matter was quite urgent, and the matter of checking the account might leak. He mentioned Li Cheng and his son. If he knew Li Cheng like him, he would never give in and would walk with the steps arranged by Xu Zi first.

Force Li Cheng to resist step by step, and then master the various villages and hidden residents. This is the first step. You must have effective masters around you and build a team of tooth generals in Yidu. This is the second step. You must also prevent Li Cheng from jumping over the wall with force. This is the third step.

Before this, there was only a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan for start-up funds in the villa, which was too far apart.

Xu Zi first felt the difficulty, but hesitated. It seemed that the game started. In fact, it was the most interesting when he was poor. If you use a modifier to give you a million yuan and your subordinates with a political value of 100 in intelligence, force, and political values ​​of 100, this game is not fun.

Of course, Xu Zixian also understood that his current situation seemed to be leisurely and casual, but in fact, the crisis was coming step by step. Everyone would worry about the destruction of their country in a few years. It would be too late to start developing their own power at that time.

You can relax your mind, similar to games, but if you really treat this as a game, you may end up miserably.

Xu Zi thought for a while before lifting up his pen and signaling Xu Ming and Yiran who were going to eat to wait, ponder for a moment, and began to write an article.

After a while, the little sister rushed over and sat with the servant and the little maid. The three of them supported their chins together. Seeing Xu Zi's writing composition, the little sister's eyes were full of smiles. Suddenly, she thought, if her father was still there, she would not know how happy she would be when she saw her brother progressing so much. When she thought about this, there was Qi Rong on her face.

After a while, the little girl couldn't help but think again that the eldest brother seemed to think of his father very rarely, and he rarely mentioned it. It seemed that the man was cruel, but almost three years had passed, and the filial piety period had expired. The eldest brother couldn't remember it and couldn't blame him.

I just hope that my elder brother can really make a name for himself. When I go to my father's grave to visit my father's grave, I have something to say to my parents.

Girls are precocious, and this is even more so for girls these days. Xu Zixian was afraid that his younger sister would not have thought about these things sitting on his left.

...

Shortly after Wei Yi returned to the city, he received an invitation from the Zhao Prince's Mansion at his own house. It turned out that the sixth prince Xu Ziwen held a fairy festival again and specially invited him to the banquet.

Not to mention Xu Ziwen's elegant collection is in Fuzhou, it is more famous throughout Fujian Road and even in the Great Wei.

Several places where the Great Wei Dynasty had prosperous culture and education were first recommended by Jiangnan East Road where Jiangling Prefecture was located, then Fujian Road, then Zhejiang North Road, and then Jiangnan West Road.

These four places are famous and powerful, and are the most prosperous place in culture and education in the Wei Dynasty for more than 200 years. Many well-known officials, scholars, famous scholars, painters, and poets all come from these places.

Even though there were tens of thousands of civil and military officials in the capital, a large number of royal family members and many famous scholars, the prosperity of culture and education was still not as good as these places. When asked about the origins of Chinese officials in the court, six to seven out of ten were from these places.

Later, the court deliberately suppressed it. First, the prime minister did not need to use passers-by in Fujian, and then came down to transfer the goods without using Zhejiang and Jiangnan people. At the beginning of the country, the northern list was only listed north of the Yellow River, and the standards for selecting scholars were much looser than those in the south, which enabled officials on both sides to maintain a relatively balanced number.

A hundred years after the founding of the country, the north gradually caught up with it, and the north and south lists were cancelled. However, the number of Jinshi in the north was still not as good as that in the south, and it was much easier to pass the exam for scholars and juren in the north than in the south.

Fujian Road is the second place in the ranking of culture and education. Over the past 200 years, I don’t know how many famous ministers and scholars have produced. The Zhao royal family has strong financial resources. The sixth prince Xu Ziwen is a fourth-rank general, just like Xu Zixian. He is young and smart. He can write and write at the age of six. He became a scholar at the age of fourteen. He became a scholar at the age of seventeen. Although it is not a matter of numbers, everyone knows that Xu Ziwen can be a Chinese Jinshi as long as he goes to Beijing to participate in the lock hall exam. However, this Jinshi is not very important to the Zhao royal family. The civil servants of the royal family can only start as county magistrates, and the prefecture and prefecture are stopped. The Zhao royal family’s mansion is not short of that little official salary, so Xu Ziwen stays in the mansion and recruits literati and poets for his father, King Zhao. The elegant collections in his mansion have indeed played a significant role. There are probably not many literati in the world who don’t know how many times the poetry, prose and songs have been published in the world.

If King Zhao had not been the emperor's father and had always been on the emperor's side, ordinary princes of the vassal state would not dare to be so high-profile.

Wei Yi's family background is just an ordinary official and gentry. Before, he finally got to the circle of Zhao Wang Yaji. Looking back, it was really hard.
