"Dad, why are you back? It's about to be the New Year, why are you running around?"

Wu Shouye took off his leather hat and said with a smile: "Xuanzi, the more the New Year is, the more busy it is. I just went to the farm and looked at a few injured craftsmen. They were disabled for work for us. I gave them some New Year's goods, and each of them gave five taels of silver. Let's show their concern."

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in, holding a large bowl of hot ginger soup in her hand, and poured a bowl for Wu Shouye.

"My father, I want me to tell you that the clay pot is hard to break from the wellhead. Everything is risky. If you earn money as a craftsman, your wages are not bad at all. Then it is their own business if they are injured or even lost their lives. Why should we worry about that? I have heard that Old Man Shen doesn't care about anything, and doesn't even pay for his wages!"

"He is immoral, am I immoral?"

With one sentence, the woman choked, gave Wu Shouye a fierce look and said, "I know it's not good, but we can't spend money for nothing. We should leave more money for our son, right? Besides, I thought about it. Our family business is getting bigger and bigger, not to mention gold and silver, it's enough to spend. I think I'll let my son come out of the army as soon as he hears about wars over the years..."

"Mom, you can do anything, just don't want me to leave the army!" Wu Yuexuan stood up suddenly and said with his chest straight: "Mom, a real man should make contributions to the battlefield and follow Wei Huo. Now that the Tartars are rampant in the world, it is a good time to make contributions, just like my father. I'm afraid that you can't even think of being famous for your whole life!"

When Wu Shouye heard this, he looked at his son who was taller than him and smiled and said, "Boy, why don't he look down on your father?"

"I, I don't..."

"Hey, it's right to have ambitions when people go to a high place. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. We are able to do business, not all relying on An** to take care of it. We are eating the food of the King of Zhongshan. If you leave the army, your father will really hit you in the butt!"

Wu Shouye picked up the ginger soup, poured it into one mouthful, and a heat gushed out from the inside and out.

"Old woman, it is a blessing from God that our family can reach the sky in one step. Remember one thing. You must be worthy of your conscience no matter what you do. Otherwise, if you lose your luck, your family will be defeated. You must not commit evil on your own!"

The woman was stunned for a while, then nodded vigorously: "You are right, it's all my fault for my long hair and short knowledge. I'll take another 100 taels. I'll ask a teacher for the private school and let the children of the carpenter come in to study. I'll pay for the food, books, and money."

Wu Yuexuan smiled and said, "Mom, I have heard from the prince personally give a lecture. No matter what I do, I must pay attention to the distinction between rewards and punishments, and win back the hearts of the people, so that the people below can work their lives sincerely!"

As he was talking, suddenly a family member hurriedly ran in outside.

"Master, Madam, Young Master, something is wrong!"

"Is the sky falling?"

"No, it's the Shen family. I heard that many people died in their mines. The miserable man pulled the body to settle the score with them. Hundreds of people started fighting, but Mr. Shen asked County Magistrate Lu to arrest all these people."

"absurd!"

Wu Shouye said angrily: "It's simply lawless, Xuanzi, go and have a look with your father!"

Wu Yuexuan nodded quickly, tied his armed belt, pinned his pistol to his waist, turned around and left.

The lady was startled and shouted in the back: "Master, please take good care of your son, don't offend others!"

...

"Missar Lu, it's not yet the Chinese New Year, why is it so lively!"

When Lu Boshun heard Wu Shouye's voice, he forced a smile on his face.

"Who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be Vice President Wu. Is this Mr. Ling?"

"That's right." Wu Shouye smiled and said, "I just came back from the military academy and wanted to accompany me to celebrate the New Year."

Wu Shouye turned his head and said to his son: "Xuanzi, this county magistrate Lu is the military farming officer personally selected by the King of Zhongshan. Just like you, they are all disciples of the prince, but only literary and military. No matter when the time comes, you must remember that the prince is our benefactor. You must not disperse the prince's virtues. If you dare to do evil, your father will first discount your legs!"

Wu Shouye was trying to scold his son, but in fact he was all for Lu Boshun to listen. Lu Boshun was not a fool, so he didn't understand anything. Of course, he didn't dare to turn against Wu Shouye rashly, so he could only pretend to be confused.

"Mr. Wu, there is still some official business to be handled. I will definitely visit your mansion when I finish it. We must have a good talk."

Wu Shouye smiled slightly: "Mr. Lu, I am the vice president of the Supervisory Yuan. According to regulations, I can still ask if there is any matter in the county government. I dare to ask for advice, why are you arresting people?"

"Ahem!"

Shen Degong coughed and walked over.

"Brother Wu, a group of thugs attacked my mansion. Look, I'll kill and injure so many people, where can I put my old face?"

Shen Degong said and wiped his tears, not to mention how aggrieved he felt.

Wu Shouye sneered in his heart and said, "Old Shen, we are all businessmen, you are an old senior, you make money with kindness. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If so many people are uncomfortable, I am afraid that the God of Finance and Joy will run away in anger, and the business will be difficult next year!"

A trace of splendor flashed in Shen Degong's eyes and said unhappily: "I seem to have something in my words?"

"I dare not, Mr. Shen, I just want to remind you that we have relied on the prince's tree to achieve today. We must be worthy of the prince and this conscience when doing anything!"

Shen Degong beat the crutch in his hand and said coldly: "Brother Wu, how can I think of the prince as much as you? The tax that should be paid is not a cent. Both sons helped An** transport food and military supplies. The prince encouraged industry and commerce and mining, so I took the lead in mining. The prince asked the establishment of the Chief of the Supervisory Yuan, and I actively made a statement. You have not seen how many laws have been revised this year. Isn't this enough? I want to hear, Brother Wu, how do you do things for the prince!"

Wu Shouye also frowned and said with a stern expression: "Old Shen, the mine was originally run by prisoners, with more than 1,000 people in total. Most of them were exhausted by you in less than half a year. They were guilty, so there was no need to say anything. But you mobilized the labor force in the farm to work, and they actually asked them to work according to the standards of the prisoners. How many people were exhausted? These things are obvious to the people. Some scholars were a little dissatisfied with your Shen family, so you forced them to pass laws by taking charge of the identity of the President of the Supervisory Yuan to arrest all of these people. The prince praised us and put a gild on the face of business. If you do this, wouldn't you scold the prince?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Degong trembled wildly, his crutch knocked on the cold ground, and said with gritted teeth: "Wu Shouye, you are just a pig dealer. You suddenly become rich and you dare to talk to me like this. You really don't know your own weight! If you dare to slander me again, I will definitely write a letter to the prince and ask him to remove you from your position as vice president!"

"Letter? OK!"

Wu Shouye said indifferently: "Old man Shen, let's fight the lawsuit to the prince. Let's see who the prince is on!"

"Hmph, I am following the prince's national policy, so I am naturally standing on my side!"

These two people quarreled, and Lu Boshun's face was not good either.

"Old Shen, Brother Wu, you are all business leaders in Guide. If you have any questions, please discuss them carefully. We will do our best to do things for the prince and take a step back!"

"snort!"

Both of them turned their heads, and Lu Boshun had to wave his hand and said, "Listen to you, take the people away, and I will make a decision."

The soldiers under his command were escorting the civilians and were about to leave. At this time, someone suddenly came to Lu Boshun, took out a waist card, and shook it in front of him.

"Missar Lu, come with me!"

Lu Boshun's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and his whole body trembled unconsciously, and his upper and lower teeth were touching back and forth.

"Don't stand there either, let's go together."

Wu Kaijie glanced at Shen Degong and Wu Shouye. When they saw Wu Kaijie, they were also shocked. Shen Degong even rubbed his old eyes and almost fell off his chin.

"Wu, Deputy Chief Wu, why are you here?"

"I also want to celebrate the New Year honestly and stop, but some people just don't know how to love themselves. Not only me, but even Lord Yan and even the prince, can't rest!"

Shen Degong almost lay on the ground and alarmed the prince? Isn’t this a life-threatening person?

They were taken to a small courtyard and walked tremblingly. Before they arrived at the main hall, they saw Gu Zhenhua and Gu Zhenhua sitting upright.

"I am begging you to the prince!" Lu Boshun and Shen Degong hurriedly kowtowed to Gu Zhenhua first.

On the seat, Gu Zhenhua didn't say a word and was silent for half a minute. In the middle of winter, cold sweats broke out on both of them.

"All up, Lu Boshun, Governor Yan is in the back room. You and Shen Degong first and let Wu Shouye stay."

"yes!"

With anxiety, the two of them could only turn around and walk back. Wu Shouye walked forward and came to Gu Zhenhua.

"Prince, I haven't seen him for a long time. The villain misses him very much!"

Gu Zhenhua patted his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Old Wu, sit opposite me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my face would have been lost long ago. I'm afraid that my subordinates will not be much better than the original Ming Dynasty!"

"Prince, this is not your fault. They don't know how to love themselves and do whatever they want..."

"Don't say it, I designed this system. If something goes wrong, it's my responsibility. Tell me everything you know. Don't say a lie!"

"Yes!" Wu Shouye smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is really a difficult problem. To be honest, the villain made his fortune by relying on your system, but the villain thought there were indeed some problems. Merchants have too much power, and the people have too little power, and they can even be mermaid meat. Many merchants have sweatshops to squeeze the people. Their methods are so cruel that they are even more vicious than those clerks!"
