Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 85
"On the contrary, this incident made me look more favorably on the girl from Fang's family. It is also the comfort of our elders that someone cares about you and takes care of you."

Xu Chun's tone was low: "This time she was too reckless..."

Thinking of this, his mood is quite complicated.The Lanyue Villa project, which has been in preparation for more than a month, aims to annihilate the enemies and traitors of the Moon Chasing League in one fell swoop.

It's just that he didn't expect that the enemies of the Moon-by-Moon League would invite helpers widely, gathering more than 200 masters, and many more people came one after another.They fought bloody battles for a long time, left and right, and his hard-core partners were killed or wounded. He even thought that he would not be able to support the moment when he died together, and he would die under the sword.

He was counting on Mu Liang to bring someone over to support him, but it was Fang Yuanzhi who came.He immediately thought of the explosives buried in the villa, he didn't want her to have something to do, and he didn't want her to be remembered by the enemies, and she would be retaliated in the future, he just wanted to drive her away earlier.

She actually dissuaded those red-eyed enemies in a few words.She was originally scolded by herself, but she came back to treat illnesses and save lives not long after, and she didn't flinch when she saw her second sister-in-law, who had never been married, die before her eyes.

She is not afraid at all. Is the second sister-in-law's today her tomorrow?

Xu Chun didn't have much time to explain, so he hurriedly took people to the basement to dispose of the explosives buried in advance.If someone from the enemy family found this place, I'm afraid they would all die.

Thinking of this, Xu Chun was a little scared.He didn't expect that Emperor Zhu Jianshen would also come to the island.

If the explosives exploded, the emperor would die in Jiangnan and Suzhou. Not only would the Xu family's management and layout for so many years be in vain, but it would become the target of concentrated attacks by various forces and be divided up in the end.

Xu Lin waved her hand: "The Moon Moon League has a history of more than 100 years. It was a quack gang established by the predecessors to fight against Mongolian talents, selling private salt to raise funds.

Over the past few years, the interior of the Moon-by-Moon League is also full of hills, and it is becoming more and more out of control.The three of you brothers have paid a lot to suppress it.

My legs also fell on it.

Today, our Xu family does not only have a salt industry, and this one has a month-by-month alliance, so it is better to throw it all out. "

Xu Chun was a little surprised, then laughed.

This month-by-month alliance is a cancer of the Xu family, which killed his two older brothers, and he almost died on it several times.If the Xu family was really willing to abandon it, why would they wait until today?
Xu Lin said: "Don't believe me. When your eldest brother passed away, I had this intention. It's just that the Xu family was in a critical juncture and needed money to employ people. It's hard for the three of you brothers.

Over the years, the Xu family has accumulated in a low-key manner, and they have slowed down again.Now the income of the salt industry is only [-]% of our Xu family's overall income.It is also time to let go of the past and embrace new opportunities. "

Seeing that Xu Chun was silent, Xu Lin changed the subject: "A few days ago I met the little emperor. He seemed weak and harmless, but he was actually smart, assertive and ambitious. The key is not only to be practical, but also to be down-to-earth. .If we secure the throne, we can still see the peaceful times in the past ten years. In this way, our ticket office business can make a big difference."

Xu Chun raised his eyes to look at Xu Lin, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes gradually became deep: "Since the first year of Zhengtong launched the policy of converting rice and wheat into silver, which broke the 'forbidden silver order' since Hongwu and Yongle, the land tax in the south of the Yangtze River needs to be paid every year." 100 million taels of silver. There will be more and more demand for silver from the imperial court and the people..."

Xu Lin nodded approvingly, a wise man speaks clearly.

"If Guangxi, Huguang, Guizhou and other places are further stabilized, it will be unstoppable for silver to replace real objects as taxes. Instead of continuing to stir up trouble in the salt industry, which is a rotten pit with too many monks and too little porridge, it is better to develop the ticket office business."

Xu Chun pondered for a moment and said: "The matter of the ticket number still needs to be carefully planned.

However, if the Moon-by-Moon Alliance is thrown out, those who are loyal to us will have to arrange a way out.It is better to let them join the guard, firstly, they will have a stable and good future, and they can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, and secondly, they can also be our eyes and ears.

As for enemies, we might as well divide them up.If we can lure each other with profit, we can give up part of the salt industry and turn the enemy into a friend. The salt field is in our hands, and we are not afraid that they will turn their backs in the future; "

Xu Lin smiled and said: "Exactly. In this way, you don't have to hide your identity anymore, and you can enter the officialdom in a fair manner. The girl from the Fang family can also get married in a down-to-earth manner." As she said, Xu Lin's eyes were a little teasing .

Xu Chun was teased by the elders, so he just smiled slightly.

He participated in a lot of vendettas in the Jianghu, and it would not be a glorious thing to find out one of them casually.

The so-called official, he can only be a small official.Once he became a magistrate or even a higher-ranking official, various attacks would definitely be inevitable, and he would not be able to resist impeachment.

But his heart is still like a flower in full bloom, very happy.

He didn't dare to become an official, didn't dare to marry a wife, and kept his head on his belt at any time, all because of this month-by-month alliance that was already difficult to suppress.

Those enemies who are said to be heroes of the rivers and lakes are all forces behind them.The so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes are nothing but lackeys raised by the major forces.

He can kill people, but he can only be deterred for a while, and it is difficult to eradicate conflicts.In the final analysis, the salt industry has a small capital and a large profit, which is coveted by all major forces.

The Xu family is willing to give up such a big benefit, abandoning the month-by-month alliance, the biggest beneficiary is actually Xu Chun himself.

At least in the future, you don't have to worry about losing your life at any time, and you don't have to watch Jiao Didi's sweetheart dare not marry back home.

The profit of the ticket number business will not be small.It's just that the Xu family's income will be affected a lot in the few years that it hasn't been done.

However, there is a patented medicine business in cooperation with Fang Yuanzhi, which can make up for one or two of them.The pharmaceutical workshop has already started trial production in small batches.The core of this kind of business lies in technology, and other companies have to think about it for a few years if they want to imitate it, and they may not have a cost advantage.

Xu Lin sighed: "The Yao people in Guangxi rebelled at the beginning, and the root cause was the collusion between local officials and officials to sell smuggled salt. It is becoming more and more difficult to implement the Chinese law."

Xu Chun said: "If the government is not in place, the corruption of the salt road will inevitably accumulate. If the corruption of the salt road is not implemented properly, the system of guards and military settlements will be in jeopardy."

Xu Lin's eyes darkened slightly: "From Orthodox to Jingtai, and then to Tianshun, in the past few decades, the imperial court has been infighting, so how can they have any intention to govern officials? It is said that today's little emperor does not have a few years to make Huichang Hou grandson If the family continues to fight, he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne, and if he cannot sit firmly on the throne, he will not dare to take action to rectify the administration of officials."

Xu Chun asked: "Then choose the little emperor?"

Xu Lin asked: "Is there any other choice? If King De ascends to the throne, he is still a puppet of the Sun family. He has not been taught by the prince's set of rules, and he doesn't understand civil servants, so it is even more difficult to fight against the Sun family."

Xu Chun knew that De Wang Zhu Jianlin was the second son of the first emperor, half a year younger than the current emperor.

Before the death of the late emperor, the Sun family had moved Yi Chu's mind and talked about moving the late emperor.In the end, under the strong persuasion of the first assistant Li Xian, the then prince Zhu Jianshen hugged the late emperor's thigh and cried bitterly, which dispelled the late emperor's idea of ​​Yi Chu.

Xu Chun said: "The most important thing now is to escort the emperor back to the capital safely, and let Shang Ge return to the court. Only by saving the emperor's life can we talk about other things."

Xu Lin's eyes were bright: "Activate all the nails we have buried in the palace over the years. When Shang Ren's appointment edict comes down, it is time for us to flex our muscles."

Xu Chun bowed his head and raised his hands: "Yes."
