At night, the Huang family's mansion.

Huang Cheng hastily called Huang Tang over, and as soon as he entered the room, Huang Tang asked eagerly: "How did Dad go with the supervisory committee's cadres today?"

Huang Cheng pinched his beard and waved his hands to make people go back, then pointed to the stool in front of him, Huang Tang sat down with a concerned face, Huang Cheng said in deep thought: "The supervisory committee said that they want to work together with us in Huangjiazhuang. A weaving mill."

Huang Tang stood up excitedly and said, "Really? Is that what they said?"

Huang Cheng glanced at him, as if dissatisfied with his lack of composure.

Huang Tang hurriedly explained to his father: "Before, I visited the textile factory of their supervisory committee with the visiting group. It was really a lucrative business."

"Besides, if the Supervisory Committee runs a textile factory with us, it will definitely send a few looms made in Shandong to our village. From the perspective of our family, if we can imitate a few looms of that kind , even if we don’t cooperate with their Supervisory Committee to do business in the future, this is still a way to make money.”

Huang Tang said eagerly: "Nowadays the hemp yarn in Shandong is so cheap, there are already many big families in Dutou who are planning to build a weaving factory. If we have the equipment of the Supervisory Committee..."

Huang Cheng waved his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't go on talking, you are also in your 20s, why are you still so calm?"

"Daddy..." He still wanted to persuade him, but was glared at by Huang Cheng. Only then did he realize that Daddy still had something to say, so he shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"Did you go to the Supervisory Council these days and see that their army is quite strong?"

Huang Tang nodded: "As I see it, the local soldiers in our county will definitely have nothing to do with them."

"The ones in the county can't do anything about them, but what about the ones in the state capital?"

Huang Tang was taken aback: "What does daddy mean?"

Huang Cheng looked left and right, beckoned the eldest son to come forward, and then whispered, "I got news that the imperial court is planning to take action against the Supervisory Council recently."

"Is it for our Sizhou Supervisory Committee?"

Huang Cheng snorted disdainfully, what are the supervisors around?This time the news came from a friend of Yingtian's side. I'm afraid he was dealing not only with those around here, but also with Sun Xin from Shandong.

"This……"

Huang Tang was quite surprised. He originally thought that the Supervisory Council was so powerful that he and his cooperation should be able to achieve it, but when he heard that the imperial court was going to send troops, he subconsciously felt that it would be difficult for Sun Xin and the others to win.

He instantly understood his father's worry in his heart.

"Is the imperial court going to send an army to fight against the Supervisory Council?"

Hearing the words, Huang Cheng shook his head: "If it is really going to send out a large army, the food and grass will have already been mobilized by now. I reckon most of them will start from the blockade."

He analyzed and said: "Now a lot of materials from Shandong are transported from the border to various counties and counties. It is because we have recently received a lot of goods from Shandong in Dutou."

"These goods are all in order, whether it's the hemp yarn, medicinal materials, wine, or peanut oil. At first I wondered where such a powerful person could produce such a large amount of goods, but now I hear you say that they must be produced by the supervisory association in Shandong. "

"Since their Supervisory Council has prospered by doing business, these products must be a major source of income for them. If the imperial court cut them off, the Supervisory Council may not be able to support it."

Hearing this, Huang Tang was stunned for a while.

"Based on this, isn't the supervisory committee always in danger of survival?"

Huang Cheng nodded: "No matter how big they are, they are not capable of raising flags and rebelling, especially since they are not as good as ordinary rebels. They actually do business with other states and counties in the Song Dynasty while rebelling, which is even more popular with the court." A layer of sanctions."

"If it's the officials and the court who want to punish him, not to mention the soldiers going out to beat him, it's just that they will die as soon as the financial resources are cut off."

Huang Tang was dumbfounded. Although he had seen the training of the guards, he felt that their fighting power was stronger than that of the officers and soldiers in Yingtian Mansion, but the 80 forbidden troops of the Bianliang court in the distance were mysterious and powerful in everyone's eyes at this time. In existence, he subconsciously felt that no matter how well the guards could fight, they would not be able to defeat the real heavenly soldiers of the imperial court.

The next moment, Huang Tang felt quite reluctant. He had already left a very good impression of the Supervisory Council a few days ago, and even thought that it was an organization that could save the world. die.

At this time, he heard his father say: "Since you don't know about this matter, I think it's better to delay this matter for a while. They also have some power in Tutou now, so it's not easy to offend them, so let's make a deal with them first."

Huang Cheng's idea is very utilitarian. The reason why he brought in the Protectorate Army was to fight for family property with his two brothers. Originally, the Protectorate Army was a big force, but now that the Protectorate Army itself is in danger of survival, it is unreliable. Well, then why join forces with them?

He didn't even have much interest in the proposal to build a factory with the guards. He felt that his eldest son was so childish in his studies that he was so enthusiastic about the supervisory committee.

When he thought about it, if the supervisory committee really built a factory with him, then he couldn't tell what the name of this Huangjiazhuang would be in the future.

Hearing his father's words, Huang Tang felt nervous for no reason, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Daddy, let's help them?"

Huang Cheng frowned and looked at his eldest son: "Could it be that you have suffered from some kind of dementia, and you have been in some other base for two days, but you really regard him as a Bodhisattva army to save the suffering?"

Huang Tang blushed. He did have a strong sense of identity with the Baojun, but at the moment it was not entirely out of this idea. He thought for a while and said to his father: "Is the official who came to our village to check the tax before?" Colluded with the second and third uncles?"

Huang Cheng's complexion looked bad, but he didn't shake his head in denial.

Seeing that his guess was really good, Huang Tang analyzed: "Second Uncle and Third Uncle want to seize our eldest house's property, and they will definitely come here in collusion with the court. The fields in Huang's Manor are all owned by our head of house. It's also a monthly distribution of money to the children of the family, but the second uncle and the third uncle always feel that they don't have enough in their pockets, and they only want to give them all our fields so they can feel at ease."

"They are willing to collude with outside officials to check our Huangjiazhuang's taxes today, and tomorrow they are willing to destroy the entire village in order to rob Huangjiazhuang's fields."

"When it comes to selling property, our long house is the one who holds the keys, and we can't fight with their second and third houses anyway. They are willing to give up a lot of land, and our long house can't cut meat from ourselves to feed them. Those minions of the imperial court! In this way, it is easy to know who the imperial court is facing."

Huang Cheng frowned more and more, and finally sighed and shook his head: "It's really broken... What do you mean?"

Huang Tang looked at Huang Cheng: "Anyway, it's only up to the court's decision, and our long house's land will eventually be divided among the second and third houses, or it's just a gamble!"

"Nowadays, not many people here dare to co-operate with their Supervisory Committee with great fanfare. If the Supervisory Committee survives this time, our family property will be preserved. Could it be worse?" (End of this chapter)
