Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 389;
Chapter 390;

Lu Jishan was very grateful for his gentle gaze on his sister who put out the fire twice.

Old Situ couldn't help nagging again;
"The self-cultivation and Qi family is a rule that has been passed down from the ancestors for thousands of years. If you take care of yourself and tidy up well, you can also cultivate a maid like Li's, a servant.

However, it is absolutely impossible to always think about doing things smoothly and successfully without distinguishing between superiors and inferiors. "

"Aye, don't worry, this time, I must be ruthless to tidy up the inner courtyard of the house, and let's talk about being an official."

"A child can be taught. By the way, you can finish talking about what happened today, and let's talk about other things."

"It's Aye, back to Aye, after the patriarch of Li's Second Household left, a group of us wentssiped a few things at the entrance of Wanhe Restaurant, on Suzaku Street.

The elders of the three clans of the Cui family in Boling used to live in the Li family manor for a while, and they had some friendship with the patriarch of the previous generation, so they knew some things about the second wife of the Li family in detail, so they came here while drinking , and told us a rough idea..."

When Lu Situ heard about Mrs. Li, he showed admiration on his face and praised him sincerely;

"According to the records of our Lu family's family affairs, and the handwritten notes written by our second family ancestors, the generation of Li family ancestors who came to live in Lantian also had friendship with the patriarch of my second family, and both sides are familiar with each other.

According to the story described in the records of our second family ancestor, their first-generation patriarch of the Li family in Lantian was very powerful.

He only made a strange request, to select their Longxi Li family, the family slaves of those military slaves handed down by their ancestors.

At that time, when this kind of thing that did not require the distribution of land came out, everyone must have been happy, so he was allowed to take away more than 200 descendants of those military household servants, and all parties were happy about this matter. "

"Aye, I heard that the servants of the Li family in Lantian have nineteen major surnames, and there are three or four hundred households. Then Li Dalang said that those families have children, and they have never been separated. How do you say that there are only two hundred households?"

"Don't worry, listen to the old man carefully, at first their Lantian Li family was not the patriarch of the second room,

The first generation of their ancestors who came here was only the second son of the Li family in Longxi. Later, the eldest son of the Li family in Longxi died of a serious illness, and there were no descendants left. This Lantian Li inherited the patriarch of the second family. "

Lu Jishan suddenly realized, nodded and said;
"So that's the case. No wonder I feel something is wrong. The other houses of the Li family in Longxi are all on the territory of Longxi. Why is the second house in Lantian? It turns out that they are inheriting the position of the head of the elder brother's family. Aye and the others will not go back to Longxi. Is it because they don’t have any property over there?”

"Who told you? The property over there is good. When the old man was young, when he was traveling around the world, he even borrowed it for a few days.
There are also a bunch of houses and fields on the other side, and there are servants and servants, and the patriarch of Dafang helps them take care of them. Later, they have more than 100 servants who came to visit relatives and refused to go back.

This is the strength of the Li family in Lantian. Several generations of people have worked hard to lay down this piece of sky in Lantian. If one day is not comfortable, or there are other unavoidable difficulties...

He brought the slave family directly, and he could go back to his hometown in Longxi. When he changed to a safe place, he transformed into a noble family, and he was a member of the Jiufang clan. Who would dare to treat him like a foreigner? "

Lu Jishan gasped when he heard that;
"Aye, the Li family in Lantian really thought for a long time, and they actually set up two lairs."

"That's why the old man told you to buy more fields near Chang'an to make a Zhuangzi, and to bring in some slaves from your hometown. Do you think it's a random target?"

Lu Jishan accompanied the smiling face;

"Aye, calm down, I just found out today that all of this was arranged by Aye a long time ago. Earlier, I thought that our hometown is in Fanyang, so we should manage our hometown well. We will go back to our hometown when we get older. , so I didn't pay much attention to Zhuangzi's affairs."

Old Situ dipped his pen in ink and started to write again. After brushing a few strokes in one go, he put down the pen, looked at his son and said earnestly;
"Don't think about the secrets of being an official. First, make a good person, sort it out and make it smooth, and then the old man will teach you how to be an official."

Hearing this, Lu Jishan sighed slightly, thinking that Aye still felt that he was not mature enough and refused to teach him the secrets of being an official. It seemed that he could only follow Aye to learn the principles of life first.

"It's Aye, I just follow Aye to learn the principles of life."

Old Situ couldn't see his son's disappointed expression, but he pretended not to see it and continued talking;
"Just now you said that the previous patriarch of Li's second family, because of the serious illness of a servant's child, hired a carriage and horse, and brought the seriously ill servant's descendant to Chang'an City to seek medical treatment and spent a lot of money. What do you think about this? "

"Returning to what Aye said, it's human nature. Didn't Aye always teach his son to be kind-hearted? I've always kept it in mind. If the servant of the second room of Fanyang Lu's family gets sick, I will also invite my husband to see a doctor. .”

Old Situ stared at his son and asked further questions;
"Well, Aye knows that you are kind, and I believe what you say, but since you are in Chang'an City, it is easier to find a famous doctor.
Let me ask you, if you were in Fan Yang's hometown, would there not have been a famous doctor here in Chang'an who served your servants and servants, and their son was seriously ill, what would you do? "

"Going back to Aye, no matter where you are, you have to see a doctor. If you change to your hometown, even if the conditions are a bit harsher, it is not as good as here, and you have to work hard. This is human nature, and you can't just watch. Family members whose lives are in danger, don’t ask, right?”

"Okay, that's right, he is the son I taught, and he really has a kind heart. Then the old man will ask you again, if you have more than 100 servants and servants, all of them are seriously ill, and it takes a hundred dollars to cure each of them, so what do you do?" consider?"

"what?"

"This... Aye, how can more than 100 people get seriously ill together? Isn't this too coincidental?"

Old Situ Chang sighed;

"After all, you hesitated, avoiding this topic and not saying positive words, but you can't blame you, there are five surnames and seven schools in the world, authentic and branched, I don't know how many sects.

Everyone has family members who have children and servants. Some families place more emphasis on family births, so they are willing to spend a few dollars to see a doctor for them. In those families who don't care, the death of a servant is not much different from the death of a dog.

What's more, they would fight and kill at every turn, completely treating their servants as slaves. Only the Li family in Longxi, inherited the temperament of their ancestors, and treated their servants as human beings.

As for the ninth house of the Li family in Longxi, and the second house in Lantian, it is most difficult for ordinary people to understand, and they treat the servants as members of the clan.

Just now, the old man asked you a tricky question. More than 100 people were sick, and all of them were seriously ill. Each person spent so much money to go out, adding up to tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ guan.

Which of the rich and powerful families in this world would foolishly spend so much money, silk, and family property to do things that are not worth the loss?After all, how many new and strong servants can't be bought with the money spent on medical treatment?

You can do what you said before, and you are already a very good patriarch in Dahu. You continue to say, what else? "

"It's gone back to Aye. We chatted a few words, then left the restaurant and went back to the Hubu lobby. I sat there thinking about it. It seemed that there was something I wanted to hold in my hand.
But it happens that at critical moments, I can't grasp it, and I can't figure it out, so I hurried back to ask Aye for advice, but there is no secret way to teach me how to be an official. "

When old Situ heard his son's description, he couldn't help but feel joy. Looking at his son who was already on the verge of enlightenment, he felt warm and comforted.

Old Situ's eyes were bright, but he didn't dare to point it out directly. He only looked at his son who was not half as bright as usual, and quickly organized what he wanted to say in his heart, thinking about how to make a big hit, and woke up and called the only direct son. , wake up immediately...

"There are secrets to being an official, but your current achievements are not enough to master them, so Aye will keep them for a while before teaching them to you.

Please calm down first, don't be impatient, talk to Aye about today, you discuss the price of those wines, Aye is old, so I didn't hear it in detail just now, I want to listen again. "

In his 40 years of life, the filial Lu Jishan has never been disobedient or disobedient, and he has always obeyed the words of the old Aye.

This time, even though his mind was still a little dazed and messed up, he still subconsciously remembered the matter of being a Son of Man, and after listening to old Aye's comforting words, he bent down to respond;

"It's Aye, I also know that I haven't cultivated well yet, so it's a bit too much for Meng Lang to come to ask the secret method that is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But don't worry, Aye, continue to walk steadily step by step, there will always be a day when Aye's requirements are met. "

Old Situ stroked his gray beard and stared at his only real son;
"A child can be taught. If you can think this way, there is no difference between sitting or not sitting in the position of one person under one person and above ten thousand people.

To truly be respected by others, you don't necessarily have to sit in the position of the Grand Master and Sangong, as long as you are an upright person, act openly and aboveboard, and do errands seriously,

Serve the king with loyalty and loyalty, treat colleagues with sincerity, be kind to others everywhere, keep clean, stick to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, practice loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame and courage.

No matter where you go, you can be respected by others. As long as you do this, even the emperor of the new dynasty will look at you differently.

Naturally, no one dares to underestimate you, so take a deep breath, don't worry, calm down your mood, think about what Aye said, what's wrong? "

Lu Jishan shook his head fiercely, took a few deep breaths, and slowly drove away his greed for wanting to learn the Sangong's secret method.

After calming down again, he carefully recalled the golden words that old Aye taught countless times.

Lu Jishan, who had calmed down, didn't feel that Aye's repetition was too long-winded. He was tired of hearing these words before, and he didn't take it as a one-five-two watch.

This will calm down, and I will reflect on it sentence by sentence, and suddenly I feel the joy of reviewing the past and learning the new. The words are still these few sentences. Aye has been repeating and teaching himself for decades, and he has understood the truth for a long time, but today There is a strange emotion, listen to it again, but there is something inexplicable and unclear...

"Follow my son?"

"Huh? Oh! My son is here, Aye, please tell me."

"Tell me about the time when you discussed the price of wine. The old man wants to know, what did you think at that time?"

"It's Aye, let me tell you that at that time Li Dalang priced the wine of Wuliangye at [-] yuan a bucket, saying that he lowered the price of the wine so that people in the world could afford it.

I understand this matter, our Lu family also has a lot of business, and I also know that if you earn less and have more buyers, you can actually earn more, so you agreed with Li Dalang's idea at the time. "

"Well, that's right. You can understand this, and you've made a lot of progress if you don't covet the petty profits in front of you."

Lu Jishan continued to mutter;

"Looking for petty gains..."

"That's right, it's just greed for petty profits. If a businessman covets petty profits, he will lose future business and bigger profits.
The common people are greedy for petty profits and short-sighted, and there will be times when they will suffer.

For officials who covet petty profits, they will miss all kinds of opportunities, and for generals who covet petty profits, they will surely suffer heavy casualties.

In the sale of liquor, if Wuliangye's pricing is greedy for petty profits, and the short-sightedness raises the price of the liquor to ten pennies a bucket,
Although some people still go to buy and eat, but they will lose the huge profits in the future, and the difference is a thousand miles away! "

Lu Jishan's metaphor of calling his own Aye Lianzhu made his whole body tremble, as if struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze.

The old Situ wolf stared at his son, not daring to be negligent, not daring to stay for a moment, and said while the iron was hot;

Just now you said that Li Dalang attaches great importance to the businessman's profit, and this Wuliangye will be sold all over the world at a price of [-] yuan in the future, so many people can afford it once or twice.

And Li Dalang directly gave those big households who wanted to sell Wuliangye, the profit from spirits, to [-] yuan a bucket. This is a big concession. He gave up this much today. Big households who have tasted the sweetness must flock here.

At that time, he only needs to raise his arms, and he will be able to spend a lot of money and silk in the warehouses of many big households for nothing without any effort. Now you understand the power of Li Dalang Yet?

This is planning for a rainy day, this is long-term vision, people without foresight must have near-term worries, my son, what you lack is precisely these! "

Lu Jishan nodded fiercely;
"I remember Aye, then Li Dalang is really far-sighted!"

"Just remember it, then when Li Dalang gave up the profit of the immortal drunk to those big households, why didn't you agree immediately?"

"Aye, it's not that I don't agree, you don't know the current situation of the court, and the court can't get [-] guan.

If the money is paid in, and two more funds are given away, it may be hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions.

Your Majesty is already red-eyed due to lack of money, how could he agree to such extravagance? I speculated with common sense, but I didn't dare to agree to his seven pennies, not to mention me, no one dared to agree. "
