Ming politicians

According to the rules, Su Huawen came back this time to worship the ancestors, and the family of merchants is very concerned about this ceremony, and must not be neglected.Su Tianhao is studying in the Imperial College in the capital, and he will take the provincial examination in the coming year. Su Tianhao will not go home. The time to rest and take a bath is too short to be in time.

This time, both Su Tianhao and Su Tianran are at home. Su Huawen thought that on December [-], he would worship his ancestors and pray for a prosperous business in the coming year. For important matters, both Su Tiancheng and Su Tianhao would take part in the provincial examination. Worshiping the ancestors touched the ancestors, maybe the Su family will have a juren.

In fact, Su Huawen already believed in the ancestor's manifestation, otherwise how could Su Tiancheng have such a big change.

The madam is much more honest. She didn't raise the slightest objection to the land allocation plan she proposed. She just stayed in the east courtyard every day and didn't go anywhere, let alone Su Tianran. Staying in the mansion, the strange thing is that Lei Fangui didn't come to look for him.

Su Huawen doesn't expect his wife and Su Tianran to undergo a complete change, but it is already very good to be able to achieve this step.

"Kun Yuan, after worshiping the ancestors, we will go to Taiyuan Mansion to celebrate the New Year. When the time comes, you will go there with us. After we leave, you can deal with the affairs of this mansion yourself. Don't leave the east courtyard empty." Yes, you can live in and leave a few houses, after all your status is different, it is unreasonable to live in one side all the time.”

"Father, my son knows. It's just about going to Taiyuan Mansion for the New Year. My son has a different idea. Running back and forth wastes time. Besides, my son also thinks about studying more at home."

"Kun Yuan, Ma'am, I will find a way. After all, we are a family, so don't worry too much."

"Hey, that's not what he meant. During the Chinese New Year, he still has a lot of things that need to be dealt with. He once said that the tenants can't support them forever. They must be able to find food for themselves, and the mansion also needs income. , otherwise it will be difficult to maintain, so during the Chinese New Year, the children will go to see their situation."

"You still have far-reaching thoughts. I went to distribute food, experience and pork to the tenants yesterday. I have a lot of emotions. People's hearts cannot be violated. As long as there are people, what can't be done well? Let me just say madam and nature to Lei If Niu Er hadn't found out about going to the mansion, we would have been kept in the dark until now."

"What the father said is very true. The child has grown up, and he has to think about family affairs. It is not a long-term solution to always spend money outside like this. The father believes in the child. In just one year, there will be changes here. of."

Su Huawen stood up and closed the study door.

"Kun Yuan, I know that Madam is very harsh on you. You can't do much with 30 taels of silver per month. Don't blame me for this matter. I have thought about it. Tianhao and Tianran, every day Yue has so much money, but in the end, he got such a result. Although Tianhao is studying in the Imperial College, I don't have any hope. The Su family has to rely on you to change their family."

Su Huawen waved his hand, asking Su Tiancheng not to speak for now.

"You have always been good at studying, so I made some arrangements a long time ago. The reason why I am strict with you is that I hope you can be self-reliant. Now it seems that my goal has been achieved. If this is the case, I can't I will continue to be harsh on you. There is a sum of gold in this mansion, which my wife doesn't even know about. This gold was left by my ancestors in case of emergencies. Today, I will officially hand over the gold to you. "

Su Tiancheng was greatly surprised.

Rich families all have the habit of hiding gold and silver treasures. This is the same as saving money hundreds of years later. They must be prepared to ask for urgent matters. When the time comes, they can take out the money. Unexpectedly, Su Huawen is actually planning to put this money away. Some of the gold was taken out.

"Father, don't worry about this matter, the child will always find a way to make money."

"Kun Yuan, I know that you can do it, but this is what I'm worried about. You must not indulge in merchants. Your task is to obtain fame and fame. The hope of the Su family lies on you. Others Things that don't need you to do, well, I have made up my mind about this matter, so don't say more. "

After Su Huawen finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the front of the bookcase.

"Kun Yuan, come here."

The bookcases are all one by one, which is a little different from the bookcases hundreds of years later. Inside the bookcases are not just for books, but for things like vases.

The bookcase is a bit big, taking up the entire wall.

Su Huawen walked to the front of a lattice against the ground and stopped.

"Kun Yuan, come here, touch the inside of this grid and see what's there."

Inside the grid, there were some books. Su Tiancheng took the books down, squatted down, and reached in. Soon, he found a round buckle.

"Did you feel a buckle?"

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"Okay, remember, after the buckle is pulled up, there is a square well underneath, and there are four boxes inside, all of which are gold, and there are a total of 1 taels of gold. You can use the gold. "

Su Tiancheng's body trembled. He never thought that Su Huawen actually stored so much gold. What kind of concept is this? More than 10 taels of silver.

"Kunyuan, these golds are all left by my ancestors. I have never touched them. The accumulation of so many years is only ten thousand taels of gold, which is nothing. Some wealthy families estimate that the gold they have saved exceeds 10 taels." Two."

"Father, the child doesn't need so much gold. Will the father take some with him when he returns to Taiyuan this time?"

"No, I've already said that the gold will be handed over to you. Don't think that if you have this gold, you will have no worries about food and clothing. I have seen some merchants' families whose parents have saved more than one million taels of silver. But the descendants of the dandy, in just a few years, will be completely defeated, and now I understand that saving this gold is not of much use, the key is to be able to gain a foothold."

Su Huawen shook his head, looking a bit bleak. According to the usual practice, the gold was to be reserved for Su Tianhao, at least part of it, but after the quarrel between Wang and Su Tianran, he changed his mind a long time ago.

"Kun Yuan, I have already made such a decision, and I believe that you can make good use of the gold, but please don't tell anyone about this matter for now, it must be kept secret."

Su Tiancheng was a little dizzy. The seemingly vague plan began to become clear at this moment. According to the development of history, Shanxi will soon start to be chaotic, especially in Pingyang, where many peasant uprisings will start To harass here, if you don't have money in your hands and can't organize an effective armed force, even if the tenants grow a lot of food, they won't be able to keep it.

With so much gold, many things can be implemented.

No matter how much gold and silver there is, it will only have an effect after being used. If it is still buried in the ground according to the rules of the ancestors of the Su family, then it will have no effect. He is very clear about this reason.

The ridiculous thing is that in this era, many people don't understand this truth. They save money desperately, and accumulate millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver, but in the end it is nothing.

Su Tiancheng doesn't have much time. He will leave Pingyang Fucheng in July and go to Taiyuan to take the provincial examination. If he can pass the local examination, he will go to the capital next time to take the general examination. There must be a lot of time delay, but Pingyang Fucheng is my base camp, and it must be managed well, without the slightest mistake. With a good backing, the road ahead will be easier and better. Only those grand plans can be realized. .

Su Tiancheng felt fortunate for the first time. It seemed that God was fair. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he always gave himself some compensation and didn't make himself too miserable. Now that he had these conditions, if he couldn't do something Earth-shattering things, that can't be justified.

At this moment, Su Tiancheng shouted from the bottom of his heart: Daming, here I come.
