Chapter 100
The host and guest were seated, and Sima Guang stood behind his father. The adult spoke, and there was no seat here.
Fan Zhongyan told his purpose, and felt a little nervous and looked at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping then understood the whole story and Lu Yijian's intention. In a year, Xu Ping had basically controlled the Sansi in his own hands, and even Lu Yijian could not get in. This kind of control is not only an attitude of doing things, but more importantly, the way of doing things. When talking about every thing about Sansi, Xu Ping was more clear than anyone in the court, and arranged it more reasonably than others' suggestions, so the yamen was really the one who had the final say.
Although the Sansi now has a larger stall, the profits from the distribution are much less. Just by investigating the various warehouses under the Sansi, many wealthy and powerful families have lost a fixed income. Of course, Lu Yijian's family was also affected, and his family's expenses were large, so naturally someone would say bad things about Xu Ping in front of him.
Lu Yijian himself might not have spent any effort on these things. When he was the prime minister of the dynasty, he was too busy to consolidate his power position. But he could not resist the many wealthy and powerful people involved. The many people muttering about Xu Ping in front of him every day gave him a kind of pressure, and he had to suppress Xu Ping's momentum.
After thinking through these, Xu Ping felt helpless. How many years could Lu Yijian be the prime minister? Even if he could take that position in the future, he didn't know how many years he would take, so why did he have to do these little thoughts with him!
Seeing Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi looking at him with a gaze, Xu Ping smiled and said, "A real man is a human being, and everything is not to be told to others! Since you have taken this job, you will do your best to do it. If you don't understand anything, or are ambiguous and inaccurate, you can ask me, and I will tell you everything!"
Sima Chi was a little embarrassed and said to Xu Ping: "When the system, people always eat grains and grains. After all, we are ordinary people and we cannot be as good as sages. This time Fan Waijian and I took this job, we must have some retribution for the poor treatment. If we offend, we hope we don't go to our hearts."
"I understand, if I do something myself, can I be afraid of others saying it? It's just one thing, everything I have done is clear and clear, and the whole story is said, and no matter what, I won't blame others. But if you cut off the head and tail, take it out of context, and arrange it randomly, that's wrong! Fan Waijian, Sima Censor, as long as you keep this bottom line, no matter what you say, I will claim it. Of course, I believe that you two are like those words, like those who make things happen out of nothing, and you two can't say it!"
Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi smiled bitterly in their hearts. What is complete and what is taken out of context? Xu Ping said this very well, but when he thinks about it, I am afraid that the degree between them is not easy to grasp.
But is there any way? This time I was receiving such an awkward and embarrassing job. It is almost impossible to think that no one should offend anyone and make a good reputation for yourself. If you fulfill your direct name, you will inevitably offend Xu Ping and even offend the emperor. And if you say good things as much as possible, you are afraid that some scholars will say that they are Afu and offend Lu Yijian again.
What should I do? I had to wait until I got to the place and take a look.
After talking for a while, Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi said goodbye and left when they saw it was getting late.
Xu Ping asked Xu Chang to send the guests out and sat in the small flower hall to think.
This year, the matter of Sansi has been straightened out, but it has offended many people. This time it is a signal. Lu Yijian is well-informed and versatile in the officialdom. He is definitely not for his own likes and dislikes. Without this little self-control, Lu Yijian would not be able to sit in his seat today.
Lu Yijian represents a force behind him, a force that feels he suffers in his own hands. Who suffers the biggest losses in Xu Ping this year? There is no doubt that it is those royal relatives and nobles.
Generally speaking, the royal relatives and relatives do not have real power, but Li Yonghe, who is closest to the emperor, looks down on him as long as he is a genuine scholar. However, without real power does not mean that they have no influence. They have a better chance to be with the emperor than anyone else. Inadvertent words may ruin a person's future.
In a word, success is not enough, failure is more than failure.
Xu Ping has a special family background. Through Li Yonghe, he has a special relationship with the emperor. If he is serious, no royal relative can do anything to him. But only a thousand days of being a thief, how can he prevent thieves for a thousand days? Now the emperor is a person with a very soft ear. If the empress dowager or a very close person is blowing in his ears every day, I don’t know when he is soft-hearted and will do something inexplicable.
Lu Yijian is such a shrewd person. He is the prime minister. He is the greatest in the world except the emperor. He also wins over the royal relatives and even gets married to them. Why? He doesn’t expect these people to help him. As long as he doesn’t ruin his affairs, it’s enough to occasionally reveal the news from the palace.
Now there is a gentleman among the ministers in the court. Even Lu Yijian, who is considered shameless by many people, rarely uses despicable means. However, those princes and nobles who do not have real power do not have face. For the sake of money and profit, they can do everything and say anything. Only these people must be careful at all times.
Hate yourself? Xu Ping sneered and shook his head.
Isn’t it just for money? In this era, I am the rich boy in this world. I will have meat, wine and drink, and I will have a good life. If I go against me, I still want money? Drink the northwest wind!
Now that he has only returned to the capital for a year, after a while, the industrial interests in Sansi will eventually overflow, and there is a lot of money to be distributed. Xu Ping is not in the mood to hold the money to ask others for money. He just needs to make money for those who he likes. As for others, if you want to be blessed, you can paint a villain in the corner to curse yourself.
The royal family and nobles were the most shameless people in front of money, because they had no political future except money and enjoyment, and the price of getting money was low, and they were all thinking about money. In the past, almost all the people in the warehouses of the three corps were able to ask for favors. The so-called three corpses were sent to the three corpses every three years, and they were as thick as leather boots, which was to deal with them.
Before Xu Ping took charge of the Three Divisions, even the royal gardens, such as the Ruisheng Garden in Yujin Garden, were sold by them. Not to mention that they stole all the wheat and rice in Yujin Garden every year.
After dealing with the officials of the Sansi led by Taishi Liu, these people were the most affected. Many distant relatives of royal relatives are no different from those of the idle men on the street, so they rely on stealing Sansi things to live. Now they can't live anymore, and there are thousands of ways to cry and say bad things to Xu Ping from powerful people.
Xu Ping doesn't care. How much does it cost to buy these people? You don't have to look at others, just look at Lu Yijian to know. He only gets a lot of real profits at home. Most of the infamy he bears is for these people to bear, just to shut up. Now, letting these people shut up, but it is impossible to shut up people in later generations. Lu Yijian has been caring this for thousands of years.
Xu Ping sighed softly, "Let those who are close to him make money!" As long as the role model comes out, these people will take good care of their mouths for the sake of money."
Now June is another leap month afterward. If it is a normal year, it will be time to collect cotton in mid-July. This year, I am afraid that it will start in early July. Now Sansi’s shops and new markets seem lively, but in fact the scale of the industry is still too small. Sansi is used to trying hard to get money. If you don’t eat enough, you will not give it to others. In fact, others will not get much benefit. When the textile industry starts, whether it is manufacturing or selling, its benefits are extremely huge. So big that Sansi doesn’t have the ability to swallow them all. That’s when the rich people are carnival.
Well, let Xu Chang go out to inquire in two days, and who are not able to get along with him. When other people's families make money every day, let them be deserted for a few years and clear their minds.
When it comes to money, Xu Chang's circle understands more clearly than his own circle. In addition to making money for his master, isn't it just that he can't do these things that can't be on the table?
After seeing that Liu Xiaoyi saw that the guests had been sent away, Xu Ping sat in his seat for a long time without saying anything, and didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that it was getting late, he urged in a low voice: "Monday, the banquet in the mansion is ready, let you go--"
Xu Ping came back to his senses, agreed, got up and walked towards the backyard. He had a hundred days off, and he had time to slowly concoct these people, and now he still enjoyed his own family happiness.
I walked too fast on the road and didn't have breakfast. Panpan was already hungry. She sat in her seat and looked at the door, waiting for Xu Ping to come in quickly. Now Xu Ping is the head of the family, and he can't move his chopsticks if he doesn't come.
Seeing Xu Ping's figure, Panpan cheered, stretched out his little hand and grabbed the chopsticks in front of him. Zhang Sanniang grabbed Panpan's hand and whispered: "It's so unruly that your father didn't sit down, how dare you move the chopsticks?"
Panpan said, "Dad loves me, I won't blame me!"
Zhang Sanniang had no choice but to hold this little granddaughter in her arms and prevent her from moving around, saying, "We are rich now, you are a lady from a wealthy family, you must understand the rules, otherwise how can you get married in the future?"
Panpan made a face and didn't take it seriously.
Xu Ping sat down at his seat, and Xu Zheng asked, "Dalang, who was here just now? Have you been there for so long?"
"I am the Imperial College Supervisor, I have a few talks about it, nothing."
Seeing that his son didn't want to say much, Xu Zheng tactfully shut up. He was really unfamiliar with that level of matter.
Xiuxiu added rice to Xu Ping's bowl and whispered: "Officials have rice."
Xu Ping turned around and looked at Xiuxiu, and said to her, "You have been tired these two days, so go and have a rest."
Xiuxiu smiled, said nothing, silently came behind Xu Ping and stood there quietly.
