Ming politicians

After seeing the letter from the chamber of commerce, Su Tianran was elated when he arrived at Lei Mansion.

As for the three brothers, the eldest brother Su Tianhao is the eldest son, and he should be able to study in the Imperial College. This is the treatment he should enjoy. He is about to take the township examination. If he passes the examination, he will be the weakest one.

This is a terrible thing. If the huge family property is divided into three parts, how much can I get.

"Brother, I'm doing it for your own good. Look at that Su Tiancheng, who is taking food, planting seeds, and sending out coarse salt. If this continues, the Su family will be ruined. I also watched Worry, there is no one who takes things out of the house, if these tenants rely on the Su family to support them, it is better not to lease these lands."

Lei Fangui has always been with Su Tianran, and Su Tianran's mother, Wang Shi, is accompanied by his parents.

Of course, Lei Wentong also meant what he said to Su Tianran.

The 17-year-old Su Tianran, who can understand the truth, has been spending his days and nights for a long time, and he can be fooled with a few words of temptation. At that time, Su Tiancheng will definitely be disheartened.

"Brother Lei, what do you think we should do?"

"This is your family's business. How can I say it? I just look anxious and remind you."

"You don't have to be polite. I just learned about these things. Let's see how to deal with them."

"Okay, for the sake of our brotherhood, I'll give you an idea. I think you have to do two things. The first is to fight for the land. As long as the cultivated land is yours, it's up to you To deal with it, what right does Su Tiancheng have to do? The second is to find those tenants and ask them to return the grain, seeds, coarse salt, etc., which have to be discounted and must be returned. If any tenant talks nonsense Then, send it to the government."

Embarrassment appeared on Su Tianran's face. The first thing was a little easier to talk about, but the second thing was that it was inappropriate for him to take back the things he had already given away.

Seeing Su Tianran's expression, a sneer appeared on Lei Fangui's face.

"Brother, if you want to do something, if you want to establish authority, you have to do it. Don't be cruel. How can you do something big? If these tenants listen to Su Tiancheng, what can you do?"

After a while, Su Tianran finally made up his mind, and felt that what Lei Fangui said was very reasonable.

Lei Wentong and his wife were sitting in the study, talking with Mrs. Wang.

Lei Wentong already knew that Su Huawen was back, and he paid attention to Su Huawen's every move.

Su Huawen went to the suburbs to see it, and started to visit merchants in Pingyang Fucheng. It is said that he came to his mansion first, but unfortunately he didn't. After more than a day, he didn't even see Su Huawen's shadow. He felt that something was wrong. Wonderful.

This is the best opportunity for Wang and Su Tianran to come back. As long as I say something in it, at least I can stir up the conflict between Su Huawen and Wang and cause the two to quarrel, and Su Tianran and Su Tiancheng They are incompatible, if there is any conflict between the two, that would be great.

Lei Wentong knows very well that conflicts within the family are the most damaging to people. Such conflicts are not easy to bring up on the table, but can only be resolved in private. He is capable of conniving at Su Tiancheng now, but he is a junior after all. In the family, there is not much right to speak. Su Huawen has always been a little weak. When he meets the powerful Wang family, he will definitely make a big fuss.

My wife and the Wang family are very familiar, and I know the characteristics of the Wang family. The most important thing is that I am stingy and stingy, and I am quite a miser.

Therefore, during the conversation with Mrs. Wang, Lei Wentong was very smart. Standing in the middle, he talked in detail about the grain, coarse salt and seeds that Su Tiancheng distributed to the tenants, and converted these things into taels of silver. .

Nearly 500 taels of silver flowed out like this, and Wang couldn't express her feeling in her heart. She didn't feel sorry for Su Tianhao and Su Tianran spending so much silver, but why should the tenants enjoy it.

The effect has been achieved, Lei Wentong finally concluded.

"Brothers and sisters, don't take this matter too seriously. Su Tiancheng is young and ignorant. He has made such a move. He will always be able to understand it in the future. You still need to educate him a lot. After all, the money , It’s not easy to earn money.”

His wife added on the sidelines.

"Sister, don't get too angry, it's not worth it if you get angry."

After Wang and Su Tianran left, Lei Wentong laughed heartily in the study.

"Ma'am, just wait and see the good show."

"Head of the family, what good show can there be? You have been persuading me for a long time just now."

"Hey, this is called playing hard to get. You and I don't know what kind of temper my younger brother and sister have. If I can let go of my mind, I won't rush back. I have seen it just now. She is suppressing her temper. Hmph , this time, we must let Su Tiancheng know how great it is, and think that it is great to be a guest at Liu Dahua's house."

"Master, why do you say that, Su Tiancheng is still young after all."

"Women's benevolence, what do you know? Su Huawen has been back for three days, but he hasn't come to the mansion. What does this mean? It means that Su Tiancheng has done his job well. Look, Su Tiancheng There is a lot of limelight now, if we can't suppress it in time, when it becomes popular, I'm afraid we will suffer."

When Lei Wentong said this, Madam stopped talking. She was aware of the conflict between Su Tiancheng and Lei Fangui, that is, she thought about it. She was afraid that Su Tiancheng would retaliate against Lei Fangui, so she supported Lei Wentong.

"Madam, don't mention this matter to anyone. The Su family is nothing special. As long as Su Tiancheng is suppressed, the rest is not worth mentioning."

When Wang and Su Tianran entered the mansion, they found Su Huawen and Su Tiancheng waiting in the main room.

Su Huawen's complexion was very bad, as cold as ice, and he didn't even stand up to say hello, while Su Tiancheng clasped his fists to salute, but he didn't see shrinkage or fear at all.

Mrs. Wang was already full of anger, and Yin Zi, who had been distressed for a long time, saw such a scene, and she became even more angry when she saw such a scene, and started to lose her temper on the spot.

"Master, why didn't you tell me when you came back, did you want to do something shameful, today I just want to make it clear to you."

"What madam wants to say, has it been discussed at Lei's house?"

Wang was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly Su Huawen knew about such a thing, she looked at Su Tiancheng, and found that Su Tiancheng lowered his head, not looking at her at all.

"Don't tell the old lady that these old ladies are back, and go wherever they want to go."

"Okay, then don't ask about the affairs of the mansion, I will take care of it naturally."

Seeing that Su Huawen and Wang's were about to start arguing, Su Tiancheng knew that if the quarrel continued like this, there would definitely be no good results, and it might not be possible to handle anything.

"Father, my son thought that the aunt and the second brother came from a long way away, so they should take a rest and discuss matters after eating."

Seeing Su Tiancheng speak, Wang finally found the target of the explosion.

"Su Tiancheng, what are you doing? Look at this letter. You are amazing. You actually let the chamber of commerce come forward to teach you a lesson. Do you want to bring down the Su family so that you are willing..."

This opening, I couldn't stop. At the beginning, Su Tiancheng listened patiently, but after hearing it, it became more and more uncomfortable. The aunt meant that she became the chief culprit of the Su family, and deal with it quickly if necessary. .

"Su Tiancheng, before you kneel down, the slave body will represent the Su family and come to practice the family law."

Su Tianran watched from the side with a playful smile on his face.

Su Tiancheng glanced at Wang Shi coldly, and spoke calmly.

"Auntie, is that enough? My son is a scholar, and he has always understood the principles of three obediences and four virtues. Not to mention my Su family, even if it is the royal rule, women are not allowed to participate in politics. If they do, it will bring disaster to the country and the people. This Confucian education requires women He is a virtuous housekeeper, he obeys his father when he is not married, and obeys his husband when he is married. I don't know if my aunt understands this truth. Before my father can speak, my aunt makes such a hasty decision. She doesn't understand the rules. If things go on like this, what is it? The boy wants to bring down the Su family, or the aunt wants to bring down the Su family."

Wang Shi was dumbfounded by what she said, she never expected that Su Tiancheng would actually refute her.
