Chapter 493 Runaway Wild Horse
Under the control of the royal family and the chaebol, "benefits" will never fall into the hands of the common people.According to the news from Ouyang Jing last night, Han, Fan, and Qian, together with the imperial relatives and wealthy merchants from various gentry families, have completely taken Houzaifang down.Not a single alley was spared.And they were much more ruthless than Su Yu and Ouyang Jing.If the people don't sell it, black and white forces will be used to forcibly demolish it.Make you homeless, see if you can sell it!
Due to the constraints of "The Alliance of Peace", the three consortiums of Tang, Meng and Ximen did not come to Houzaifang to join in the fun this time, but the group of aunts in private did not do less.For example, Tian Gan also spent some money to buy some land and real estate in the nearby Fangshi.But like Su Yu, he did not dare to blatantly go to Houzaifang to compete with the gentry chaebols and the royal family.

Su Yu bought an entire alley in Tongjifang and a tavern on the main street.Ouyang Jing bought everywhere irregularly. Ouyang Jing drew a sketch, and the map was densely packed with his real estate.Ouyang Jing was triumphant, saying that he bought it cheaply, but Su Yu bought it expensive.But Su Yu didn't think the one he bought was expensive, and he even said that he would turn that alley into a commercial street.

Then Su Yu did something that Ouyang Jing couldn't quite understand.He actually ran to Tongjifang, contacted the original residents of that alley, and registered the idle people in their family.It is said that in the future when the commercial street opens, they will be hired as long-term workers, which makes those people very happy.

"Jinfeng, I understand you. You do this for two purposes. One is to create momentum for your commercial street and to advertise; the other is that your heart is soft. You feel that you have taken advantage of those people, so You need to find some benefits for them, right? In fact, I think you don’t have to do this. Even if we don’t buy it, someone else will buy it. They are much more ruthless than you. You feel sorry for these poor people. What's the use? Let me tell you this, no matter what time they are, they are a group of people who are being bullied. On the contrary, if the benefits let them go, is there any reason? Then who the hell loves to be an official? Being an official Is there a fart for it?"

"Ouyang Jing, how I like to live is my business, so don't point fingers."

"Okay, okay, I don't care about you. But you should be careful, if you lose money, the princess will take back your son's surname. Hehe."

……

The Intelligence Division is also known as the Beijing Unification Division. Since Qiu Yao became the director, it has shown unprecedented enthusiasm for activities.

The intensive dispatch of personnel and the quick job change were noticed by several superiors.Hong Dun thought it was his faction working, and he also showed extraordinarily high enthusiasm.When Qiu Yao's personnel transfer was questioned, Hong Dun rushed over in person, relying on his power to supervise the army, he slapped him with a slap.The old eunuch's philosophy of life is: one force will reduce ten meetings.

With the dual support of the commander and the supervising army, Director Qiu only took three days to turn around the embarrassing situation in which the intelligence department was stagnant.He prepared three work reports for Cao Yuzan, Su Yu and Hong Dun respectively, detailing the working methods and purposes.The slogan he shouted was: Facing the eight passes, take the initiative to attack, and break through each one.

Qiu Yao set his first target on Feng Zhanting's Department of Xuanjia No.19 Division stationed at Dagu Pass, and used No.19 Division as his experimental base.It is necessary to grasp the detailed information of all the generals of the division, brigade, and regiment headquarters within half a year, family background, and relationship diagrams of family members, dig out their black history, collect their inappropriate remarks, interview some officials appropriately, and discover those who are willing to serve The talents who serve the Queen Mother, and grasp their lifelines, ensure that they do not have the courage to betray the Queen Mother.

In the three documents, Qiu Yao said: Under the correct leadership of Hong Jianjun, the great layout of Commander Su will be completed, and he will be loyal and filial to the empress dowager!

Su Yu felt that this kid had a lot of practical spirit and was also good at flattering. No wonder he was able to work beside Hong Dun for so long.According to Su Yu's request, the Empress Dowager also revised the Jingtong rules and divided the news submitted by the Jingtong into A, B, and C reports.The queen mother was very satisfied with Su Yu's arrangement, so she even embroidered a silk handkerchief for Su Yu.On the silk handkerchief, there is a "picture of two kingfishers with Lianli branches" embroidered by the Queen Mother herself.

Of course, this must have been embroidered by the manufacturing office, and the last stitch was completed by the queen mother.This is considered to be sewn by the Queen Mother herself.The same goes for the collar of Su Yu's Dahongpao dress.Su Yu even suspected that the Queen Mother just touched her lower lip with her upper lip, and that was her masterpiece.In fact, she may not have even touched a needle and thread.Anyway, no one can go to the construction office to ask about this matter, and even if they ask, they dare not tell.

"Master Su, do you have anything else to guide and supplement?" Qiu Yao also sent the A and C reports to Su Yu, and asked Su Yu to take a look first.

After Su Yu read it, he handed the two copies back to him: "I think it's very good, I can report directly to the Queen Mother, and I'm going to see her too."

Qiu Yao lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Lord Su, you are too familiar with the empress dowager, so you don't seem to pay much attention to using respectful words when you speak. Don't think that the officials talk too much, you must always be careful, and don't forget the empress dowager behind the scenes. There are also three His Royal Highnesses. You can’t afford to offend them. Maybe they will kill you!”

Su Yu patted Qiu Yao on the shoulder and left.

Qiu Yao reminded Su Yu to keep a distance from the queen mother, but he didn't need to remind Su Yu that he also had this intention in mind.But now the Queen Mother is staring at Su Yu all day long, which also makes Su Yu feel a headache.Just because Su Yu didn't come to meet yesterday, the queen mother reprimanded Su Yu again.The reason why the Empress Dowager reprimanded Su Yu was: to steal state secrets and fill her own pocket.

Cao Yuzan's cousins, cousins ​​and other members of the royal family also bought a lot of real estate, she didn't talk about it, but she insisted on grabbing Su Yu.Su Yu felt that she was provoking and finding fault.

Su Yu said: Even if I don't buy it, someone else will buy it, and the price I offered is already the highest, unlike those people who would use violence if they don't sell the house.Since this benefit will definitely not fall into the hands of the common people, then I am robbing the interests of the plutocrats, not the interests of the common people.There are also some unoccupied and dilapidated houses, which I also bought.In the future, the entire hutong will be refurbished and built into a group of high-rise buildings according to the Queen Mother's request.This is also an effort to show peace and prosperity.In the future, doing business in Hutong will inevitably recruit workers, and those who sell houses will be considered first.

The queen mother said that Su Yu was sophistry, and she took the command arrow in front of her and threw it at Su Yu, thinking to vent, but the command arrow was blocked by the curtain.

Although the empress dowager has a stern voice, she will not play the "confiscation" trick like Tang Linger.She got angry not because Su Yu stole any secrets, but because Su Yu didn't come to see her yesterday.The Empress Dowager thought that that trivial matter was not enough to delay Su Yu from meeting her.However, what she said to Su Yu later was not a big deal, and the chat soon turned from the tax reform issue to the daily life.

"I heard from Princess Chengfeng that you brought hundreds of people to the gate of the Prince Ximen's mansion to beat gongs and drums, and force Gongsun Li to marry her daughter to Xu Luochen. Is this true?"

Cao Yuhan's long nails are left on the ring finger and little finger of her left hand. She puts the middle finger of her right hand on the gold silk ivory armor of her left ring finger. She looks lazy and leans on the chaise longue.One foot was exposed brightly, completely lacking the dignity that the queen mother should have when meeting her courtiers.

Su Yu had a headache for a while: "Princess Chengfeng is funny, she is joking with the empress, she can't take it seriously."

"Hey! Sophistry!" The queen mother sat up: "I heard that you have been very busy in the past half a month, and you even brought a group of hooligans to splash dirty water in front of the Dagongzi's mansion. This is what the second-rank county horse can do What about you? Don’t forget, you are still a fourth-rank officer!”

Su Yu stopped talking.

I was silent for a long time.

At this time, Cao Xiaobao sent a plate of cherries with their cores removed, and Cao Yuzan ate them with a spoon in a leisurely manner.

"Okay, don't pretend to be a good boy with me." Cao Yuzan put down the jade plate, and Sun Bumei immediately wiped the Queen Mother's mouth. The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and flicked Sun Bumei's hand away, saying: "If you need help, You just say it directly. Don't be polite to me. If you scold you so much that you stop talking, it will be too late for me to regret it. "

Su Yu was in a low mood and said that there was nothing to help.

Cao Yuzan fell down again: "Hua Tingfeng said that Ye Wuliang, Yuan Kun and others have been found. He asked to send Jin Yiwei to Huazhou Prefecture to wipe them out. Didn't Hua Tingfeng tell you about this?"

Su Yudao: "Hua Tingfeng is dedicated to serving the Empress Dowager, I have never told this matter to my minister."

The queen mother waved her hand: "I don't just want to tell you this, I want to remind you not to relax the management of Jinyiwei. Now the Jingtong is busy, but sooner or later I will take back the military power. I may disband by then Jingtong, and at that time Jinyiwei is the focus."

Su Yu felt that the Queen Mother was thinking too far away. According to Su Yu's plan, it would be good if Cao Yuzan could control Luoyang Eight Passes within three years, but she was only infiltrating, and did not dare to wrestle with the five generals in public.The other three princes will not allow her to monopolize military power.unless……

Could it be that she wanted to take the initiative to kill the three princes?
……

Whether a man or a woman, after gaining power, the desire for power will continue to inflate like a balloon.Some people know how to restrain themselves, but some people will keep blowing until the balloon bursts.It's as if those who hold the hairy arrows are more arrogant than mad dogs.

Su Yu felt that Cao Yuzan was the latter, and her various assumptions were very dangerous, nothing more than trying to die.At this moment, Su Yu found that her help could no longer satisfy her ambition, and it would be very dangerous for her to continue helping like this.

He tried to get Cao Yuzan to rein in the horse, but Su Yu found that Cao Yuzan was already a wild horse, and it was difficult to hold her back by himself.She talked too much against it, and she was the boss, and she was too timid to criticize Su Yu.In this case, maybe you can talk to Cao Sheng, but Su Yu will never forget that he is a powerful person, and he cannot have too many contacts with senior officials of the Xuanjia family.

At this time, Su Yu's desire to retreat increased sharply, and he returned home after a few perfunctory words with Cao Yuzan in the back hall.

Tang Linger didn't have much to do today, she was lying on the couch, when she heard the sound of Su Yu's carriage returning, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.Sit up and fix your hair.Seeing that Su Yu's complexion was not very good, she didn't ask why, but became even happier.Su Yu was also asked to play billiards with her.

Playing around, Su Yu threw the cue aside: "I want to see Brother Eighteen."

"What are you doing seeing brother?" Tang Linger squinted her big eyes, as if she had already guessed what Su Yu wanted to do.

"Brother Shiba told me to continue working in Jingtong. But now I want to leave."

Tang Ling'er was not in the mood to play any more, so she sat down firmly and said, "After the second uncle passed away, my elder brother had completely mastered the Divine Strategy Army, but after that he was not as diligent as before. And after taking a concubine, he began to indulge. Don't talk about you now If you don't want to work for the queen mother anymore, I can make an appointment with my brother. Let's talk to him together. Besides, have you talked to Ouyang Jing? Did you go and talk to your daughter?"

Su Yudao: "I just talked about this with Ouyang Jing yesterday, and he said that he would talk to Xiao Qiao today. Ouyang Jing is a sensible person, I think he will definitely handle the matter well."

Tang Linger thought for a while: "My brother has always been focusing on his career, but there is no one who can make him like this. I am not willing to let my brother lose such a concubine. If Ouyang Xiaoqiao knows how to restrain herself, I am willing to accept her. Since Ouyang Jing promised to persuade them, then we will give them a little more time. What does Jinfeng think?"

Su Yu nodded.

Tang Ling'er smiled, and rubbed Su Yu's face with her hand: "You have lost weight recently. People say that a man should be fat if he has a good wife."

Tang Ling'er seldom showed any proactive intimacy. Su Yu thought it was interesting, so he reached out and rubbed her face.

The intimacy between husband and wife made the three maids in the room a little uncomfortable.At this time, Xiao Huan came up with a bowl of soup.

Tang Ling'er said: "You are busy now, Xiaohuan has nothing to do in Xiaoxilou all day long. I think it is enough for Lao Huang to guard Xiaoxilou by himself, but Xiaohuan should come to my room and learn how to read accounts with Lin Wan. That idiot Wang Xun is really not suitable for civil work. She didn't make any big mistakes, but she couldn't lift her head when she was lying at the desk for a few days. Her neck hurts so much that she can't bend it. Let her run outside, especially when I'm pregnant In the meantime, let Lin Wan be in charge and Wang Xun be in charge, so I can rest for a while."

Su Yu thinks this arrangement is good.

Tang Linger thought for a while, then frowned suddenly: "I think it's time to kick Zhao Zhun out of the Paper Manufacturers Association, what does Jinfeng think?"

"Who is Ling'er going to ask to host this event?"

"Since you're planning to quit the officialdom...how about it, after elder brother agrees to your withdrawal, you and fourth brother will do this together."

"Oh…"
