Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Retreating to the Garden of Thoughts, the study outside Mianfeng Pavilion.

    The family member who sent the letter to Xu Jie sent Hai Rui's reply.

    Mr. Xu Ge took the letter, picked up the jade-handled silver letter opener on the table, and wanted to open the letter.

    ??????????? But after several attempts, no success was achieved, and I almost succeeded.

    "Usually this is Xu Fan's errand." He smiled self-deprecatingly and handed the envelope and letter opener to the family.

    The man dressed as a servant has a gray beard, a short stature, and a serious face. He does not look like an ordinary servant.

    In fact, he is a disciple of the Xu family, his surname is Lu Mingguang, and he was also a famous martial arts hero back then.

    It¡¯s a pity that the Ming Dynasty was not suitable for the survival of Jianghu figures, otherwise his colleague Shao Daxia would not actively transform into a broker.

    Daxia Lu was not as lucky as Daxia Shao. When he was young, he traveled around the world, killed people and was wanted by the government. He had to abscond to Hetao, which was occupied by the Tatars at the time, and lived there for many years.

    During those years, he traveled between the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups and had a good understanding of the mountains, rivers, terrain, humanities and customs inside and outside.  Later, by chance, he became a retainer of Zeng Xian, the governor of the three sides.

    Lu Guang summarized his years of experience and proposed a plan to regain the Loop to Zeng Xian.  When Governor Zeng saw it, he thought it was very good, so he reported the plan to the court and asked him to go to Beijing to lobby.

    The chief minister of the cabinet at that time was Xu Jie's teacher Xia Yan.  After Xia Yan talked with Lu Guang, he felt that it was appropriate and made it a top priority.  Under Xia Yan's recommendation, Emperor Jiajing also felt that he was very popular, so he issued an order to discuss the "recombination".

    With Xia Yan's promotion, the complex plan quickly passed the court discussion, and the court was gearing up to implement it.

    That was also the most glorious moment of Lu Daxia¡¯s life.

    "It's a pity that when things came to a close, Jiajing, a coward, regretted it again and began to find various reasons to delay.  Everyone knows what happened next. Yan Song, the second assistant, took advantage of the change in Jiajing's mentality and mobilized his party members to attack Xia Yan and Zeng Mian. In the end, the emperor had Xia Yan and Zeng Mian cut in half on the grounds that "near ministers colluded with the generals".  In the city, the world is wronged.  Naturally, the conspiracy was settled and no one dared to mention it again.

    Although Lu Guang was not affected, he felt deeply guilty and secretly rescued Zeng Mian's family who had been exiled from the army, and spared no effort to lobby for the redress of his late master.  Finally, nearly twenty years later, in the first year of Longqing, Mr. Xu Ge took advantage of the opportunity to rectify the chaos and vindicated his mentor, while also doing the same for Zeng Xianzhaoxue.

    Lu Guang felt grateful for Xu Jie's kindness, so he worshiped at Xu Jie's door, considered himself a servant, and guarded him day and night.

    Last year, the collapse of the Xu Mansion was revealed. All the Qingke disciples who surrounded Mr. Xu Ge left. Only Lu Guang stayed, and he still kept vigil for Mr. Xu Ge every night.

    From then on, Xu Jie valued Lu Guang more and more, relying on him as a confidant, and discussed all major matters with him.

    ??~~

    Lu Guang cut the envelope open, gave it to Mr. Xu Ge with both hands, and helped him pick up the kuiji on the table.

    Xu Jie put on his reading glasses, took the letter away and squinted, only to see that the content was not long, only a few words:

    "On the auspicious day in Songjiang, I have learned a lot of lessons, but the love between the public is no different from the past, and I have a special feeling."  After reading the land withdrawal book recently, I learned that Shengde was unexpected.  But the number that has been withdrawn is not much, and it is possible to clean up more.  In the past, when people changed their father's government, the gold in the seven houses was scattered in a moment.  There is nothing the father can do to change his son, and there is no need to give back all the land. He can keep 6,000 acres of land and leave the rest of the property unchanged, which is enough to make the family rich'

    This letter is like Hai Rui¡¯s person, sharp and direct.  After deducting the polite words at the beginning, he bluntly pointed out that the Xu family had withdrawn from the land, but the amount was far from enough.

    So how much refund is appropriate?  This time he gave an accurate figure - keep 6,000 acres and withdraw the rest.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT

    In fact, to be honest, if Hai Rui had not been armed with the old man's theory by Zhao Hao, he decided to 'establish a united front', 'develop progressive forces, win over middle forces, and isolate die-hard forces' Specifically, it would be to separate big landowners from industrial and commercial landlords.  , big businessmen and small landowners separate, fight for the latter three, and fight the big landowners together

    "Otherwise, with his bad temper, the Xu family will have to spit out all their industrial and commercial assets.

    Maybe the Xu family feels it¡¯s too cheap.  How could they escape unscathed after doing so many bad things!  Hai Rui's tone also became harsh, saying, "In the past, people changed their father's government, and seven houses of gold were scattered in a moment. There is nothing you can do if your father changes your son."  ¡¯ Such harsh words point out that Xu Ge is always ¡®replacing father with son¡¯, making him weigh whether the things outside of him are more important, or his son.

    After reading it, Mr. Xu Ge burst into laughter, handed Hai Rui's letter to Lu Guang and said: "Another white-eyed wolf, and it eats people without spitting out their bones."?That kind of thing.  "

    Lu Guang glanced at the letter quickly, then looked up at Mr. Xu Ge, and saw that although he was smiling, his smile was full of seriousness, and his left eyebrow was twitching, obviously he was irritated by Hai Rui.

    Actually, to be honest, Lu Guang felt that what Hai Rui said was quite reasonable.  The ancients corrected their father's mistakes, and the gold in the seven houses was scattered in a moment.  Mr. Xu Ge's son did all kinds of bad things, and even directly caused a governor to be seriously injured and comatose to this day.  If you want to atone for your sins, seven houses of gold may not be enough, right?  Ten houses, fourteen houses?

    He had seen with his own eyes the chief minister and the governor being cut off and abandoned, and his family was ruined. Naturally, he felt that the things outside him could not compare with "safety for people and peace of home".

    But for some people, no amount of education on clean government can change their greedy nature of sacrificing life rather than money.

    ??~~

    I saw Mr. Xu Ge's smile getting colder and colder, and he gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "It's too much! It's too abominable! If I had known today, I shouldn't have saved this wolf-hearted thing in the first place, and let him die in prison! How clean!"  "

    "Master, calm down," Lu Guang hurriedly advised Xu Jie to stay calm: "If Hai Rui doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will attack us."

    "Yes, he is the governor of Yingtian. He holds the royal flag and the name of Qingtian. He holds the handle of countless powerful families. No one in Jiangnan is his opponent."

    Xu Jie smiled coldly and said: "But Jiangnan is only a corner of the Ming Dynasty. He has the courts in Nanjing and Beijing above him. There are many people there who can cause him trouble and make him get out!"

    As he spoke, Mr. Xu Ge twisted his orchid fingers and said with a contemptuous smile: "One million taels is more than enough to protect my Xu family. The 460,000 acres of fertile land can be sold for 10 million taels of silver. Who wants this kind of bloody business?  Do?!"

    "Master, the risk of confronting Hai Rui is not small" Lu Guang advised again.

    "I know, I know." Xu Jie suddenly lowered his voice and sighed faintly: "But I can't retreat anymore. When I raided Yange's hometown, I only found more than 10,000 taels of gold and more than two million taels of silver. The house was  Fifty-seven bases, more than 20,000 acres of fields, mountains and ponds, various gold and silver vessels, jades, jewelry, furniture, and thousands of precious calligraphy and paintings, and books. In this way, they were all engraved and published by the imperial court as "Tianshui Bingshan Record".  Be a warning to others.¡±

    "I didn't expect that my family would be even more exaggerated than Mr. Yan Ge"

    ps. The third update is asking for monthly votes. It will be a big deal if I write another chapter the day before yesterday.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
