Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 779 Wolf and Meat

Liu Mu's words aroused great interest among the three of them, Zhang Gongjin asked involuntarily:

"Tell me."

"The reason is the gold mine. I told Cui Yiye that I would add [-]% to the gold mine invested by his wife. But when I returned to Jiangnan, his wife had already sold the gold mine and sold it to Yang at an additional [-]%. I don’t know who the lady is. It has nothing to do with the value of the gold mine, nor is it expensive.” Liu Mu added an explanation.

The three were puzzled.

Liu Mu continued: "Then, according to the new version of the Tang Law, as a chief official, you can't invest in the area under your jurisdiction, and your relatives within three generations are not allowed. So Cui Yiye's wife must not invest money in Huating, and Because Yang bought her gold mine, she didn’t have enough cash, so she used a piece of land for a workshop in Cixi to pay for it.”

"It feels like this is a normal transaction, why is there such an unpleasant scene?" Zhang Gongjin asked, but he didn't understand.And the other two didn't understand at all, which didn't sound wrong.

Liu Mu shouted: "Baoqin, bring me the Huating yarn workshop, the three newly built weaving workshops, and the transportation data of the Thousand Islands Kingdom."

After a while, Baoqin took what Liu Mu asked for.

The three sat together and looked at it for a while, and they understood in their hearts.

"No wonder Mrs. Yang turned his face. This is obviously because my own workshop used Mrs. Yang to make up for him, and then happily went to make money."

"If it's just like this, that's all. A piece of land, there is not much money. This is also normal, and the price is not too high. After all, Cui Yiye's wife has invested a lot in her gold mine in the country of Thousand Islands. Human and material resources."

Speaking of this, Liu Mu smiled helplessly and bitterly: "But this matter will not be good in the future. One of Cui Yiye's aunts has seen the benefits. There are no good places next to the main river and canal. She encouraged Cui's The relatives increased the price to buy the land that many people in the Yang family had already bought."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he pointed to the account book: "Cui Yiye's aunt knows these data through some channels, but others don't. It hasn't been officially announced to the public yet. To tell you the truth, the Cui family is willing to force That uncle Cui Yiye has divorced his wife, but he can't lose Qinghe Cui's face in face."

Zhang Gongjin asked again: "Then what about Mrs. Xie, what does Mrs. Xie have to do with this matter?"

"Two relationships. First, the largest and best weaving workshop in the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the Xiao, Xie, Qian, and Gu families, and there are more than a dozen other well-known families. Cui Yiye's aunt said Many Cui family members were moved, and her natal family borrowed money from the Xie family to buy the land from the Yang family, do you think the Xie family feels disgusted by this?"

"It's disgusting." All three of them felt that it was normal for this matter to turn upside down.

Liu Mu continued: "The second bad thing is that the Yang family, who was originally the victim, listened to someone's instigation, and unexpectedly paid a high price to dig weavers in the south of the Yangtze River. After the Xie family found out, many young people in the family Thinking it was Cui's work, they started fighting with weapons and smashed hundreds of looms in several workshops Cui newly bought."

Zhang Gongjin said: "Thus, the three families are all victims, and all three families have done wrong and evil things. If this lawsuit goes to Chang'an, it is estimated that the Dali Temple Zhengqing will not be able to bear it."

"So..." Liu Mu didn't continue, and laughed loudly: "Come here, let's set up a banquet."

But Dugu Xiude signaled to wait a moment, let the servants go out first, and then got up to close the door and come back: "This matter is not simple, in fact, the elders of those famous families should gather together to discuss matters, not simply watching this matter Helpless, and eat hot pot to pass the time."

Liu Mu was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Dugu Xiude replied: "My Dugu family can be considered a top nobleman. In my grandfather's generation, the four aunts were all queens. I understand these things."

"what's up?"

"Ten wolves for one piece of pancake, the most ferocious and ruthless one will grab the most. Ten wolves for ten pancakes, the most ferocious one will grab the most, but the weakest will also stutter. Ten wolves for 20 yuan pancakes will win the most. The fierce ones are still the most, but they are kind and don't bite other wolves because there are too many wolves."

Liu Mu listened carefully to Dugu Xiude's words, and was also thinking about it.

Dugu Xiude continued to talk: "Then there are 20 yuan pancakes, five bones, and ten wolves. Then when things continue to develop. When there are pancakes, bones, meat, and a few live sheep, these ten wolves will How?"

Liu Mu understood: "You mean, the rich and powerful are fighting in secret?"

"Yes, the result of fighting methods is to discuss how to distribute benefits. Don't think that the wealthy family is friendly. It's hard to say whether Cui Yiye's aunt is behind someone. Don't look at the five surnames sitting together eating hot pot. They are already competing in secret gone."

Liu Mu asked: "Two questions. First, I feel that they are really helping me with their ideas and helping me with the matter of controlling the Thousand Islands Kingdom and my control of Beisha City."

"Stupid!" Dugu Shura came to his senses, "That is to grab the meat first, and the wolves will fight to divide the meat after the meat is brought home. Fighting if the meat is not grabbed, they are not qualified to be a wealthy family."

Liu Mu patted his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, it makes sense."

"It doesn't make sense, it's the truth."

Liu Mu asked again: "Okay, the second question. The General Ship Division is to be developed, and there are countless resources under development. Everyone will have it, it's nothing more than a matter of one step earlier and one step later. It is necessary to play so many conspiracies in such a hurry ?"

Dugu Xiude laughed: "Brother, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by you, and you just haven't come to your senses right now. I'll give you a word and you'll understand why Cao Cao has Wei?"

"Because he has seized a favorable territory, has more sources of money, food and soldiers, and his own ability..."

"Understood." Liu Mu said very seriously: "First grab the business that is conducive to the development of the family, have more coins, more good craftsmen, and more channels. In the future development, it will occupy more important position."

After Dugu Xiude heard this, he strode over and opened the door: "Eat, have a good drink."

Obviously, Liu Mu realized.

Zhang Gongjin patted Liumu on the shoulder: "They can't rob you, and they don't dare to rob the court and the royal family, so they won't show any intention of fighting in front of you. You can trust the saint secretly in this matter, and I believe you will get the saint." Please advise, this matter has something to do with state affairs. Don’t underestimate the power of five surnames, seven families, and 36 famous families.”

"En." Liu Mu nodded heavily.

Zhang Gongjin stretched out his hand to help Liu Mu: "Drink less today, brother will confess first."

Dugu Shura didn't say anything, he knew very well that everything overseas was created by Liu Mu, and the five surnames and seven families didn't dare to cut off this guide. For a long time, they didn't dare to have Liu Mu's idea.
