Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

That's right, Xie Ziran and others have been walking between the Tatar grassland and Guanzhong all year round, making a living by selling cattle and sheep.

Four years ago, Xie Ranran's family was completely destitute. With this business, not only did he redeem all the property he had sold off, but his housework was even more popular than when his parents were alive.

Moreover, when Nannan lived at Xie Ranran's house, she spent several hundred taels of silver on him a month, and this kid didn't even bat an eye.It can be seen that he is grateful for his family's wealth.

Su Mu doesn't think that a serious voice can be so profitable, and can earn him a huge fortune within four years.

If you guessed right, Xie must be smuggling.Send the salt and textiles from the Central Plains to the grasslands, and exchange them for cattle and horses from the Tatars, planning to obtain a huge price difference.

This kind of business is a decapitation business, and its dangers are even more dangerous than salt smuggling.

When smuggling salt, the smugglers were just fighting with the government's soldiers.

Xie naturally faced the frontier army directly, and the Tatars were so friendly.Seeing that you have many goods and few goods, I may not be willing to trade with you normally, and I will grab it directly.

Without a certain force value, Xie naturally can still live to this day?

Looking at the situation in front of him, Xie Ziran and his fellows are all experienced and brave warriors, so energetic.Compared with them, Qiu Yue's soldiers were nothing but a bunch of weaklings.

Su Mu appointed Xie Ranran as a recruiter. As his student, Xie Ranran's loyalty to Su Mu was naturally beyond doubt.

Looking at Xie Ziran's martial arts, he should be on the same level as Hu Jinxue, both of whom are hard-working outsiders, and are somewhat better than Hu Shun after he was injured.

Perhaps, Xie Ranran can still be of great use in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Mu was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting "Hello".

Hearing Su Mu's shout, Xie Tianran was distracted, and a stick was swung towards his head.

Xie Ranran stretched out his right side to parry with a "drink".

"Crack!" With a sound, the extremely flexible white wax pole broke in two.

Looking at Xie Ziran's right forearm, it was just a faint red mark.

"It's amazing!" Zhao Hulu screamed, his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Su Mu, Xie Ziran said "Ouch", and hurriedly led his men to kneel on the snow: "The student has met his teacher!"

"The villain has seen the editor!"

Xie Ziran: "It's a great honor for the students to come to the humble house when the mentor comes. It's cold outside, so please sit inside."

Zhao Hulu couldn't help shouting: "What's the trouble, I'm afraid that the master who won't be known by others has come to you?"

Xie Ranran was so clever, he nodded hurriedly, signaled everyone not to speak, and invited Su Mu into the secret room.

After entering the room, Su Mu told about the court's commendation of him, saying: "It's a pity that the court felt that the merit of beheading two levels is not enough, and there is no real reward."

Xie Ranran said cautiously: "Actually, my mentor doesn't know that the credit for beheading two levels is already not small. However, if the credit belongs to the frontier army, it will probably be exaggerated ten times or a hundred times when reporting it. It's not surprising. The mentor is noble, he doesn't want to take credit, the students admire him, and the students don't pay much attention to any rewards."

"It's not difficult for you to be an official. Anyway, you already have the honor of raising people, so you can apply for the name and go to the Ministry of Officials as a candidate." Su Mu didn't want to get entangled in this matter: "However, since the court's commendation You have already come down, you have to go back to your hometown once, and you don't know how long it will be delayed?"

Xie Tianran couldn't understand Su Mu's words.

The township examination was over, so he naturally wanted to go back to Fufeng County, where he should study and do business.The teacher asked himself how long it would take to delay, and he must have ordered something.

Xie Ziran pointed to his panda eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Master, the student is a face-saving person. It may take ten and a half months to fully recover from this situation, so I won't go out to meet people. Over there in Xinzhi County, the student wrote I sent a letter back home, saying that I caught a cold and was bedridden, but I couldn’t go back for a while.”

Then he asked in a low voice: "Master, but there is something for the students to do, Xie naturally dare not shirk it."

But Su Mu asked: "Jun Fu, how many people do you have under your command?"

Xie Ranran: "Together with the shop assistants and servants, there are about thirty people."

Su Mu: "I mean it needs to be used."

Xie Ranran immediately understood: "There are about [-] people who walk the grassland with students all the year round. They used to be poor children, and they have been beaten for many years in the bow and arrow club and village soldiers. They have seen blood on their hands. All it takes is one command, and it will come in handy.”

Su Mu already knew it in his heart. Indeed, this kind of brave and military-trained Guanzhong man is much stronger than the frontier soldiers.Although one cannot equal a hundred, it is still possible to equal one to ten.

Used at critical moments, it can play a huge role.

It's just that it's not the time yet, and we can't tell Xie Ziran clearly.

He smiled, and stopped talking about this topic, and said: "Junfu, I'm afraid you can't return to Fufeng now. If possible, you can go to Ningxia Wei in the coming year and contact Hu Shun, the manager of Jinyiwei's experience department."

Xie Ranran cheered up, knowing that his mentor will make a big move in the coming year, and it is time for him to make contributions: "Yes, the students will slowly transfer their business to Ningxia Wei in the coming year. The students are familiar with that place, and they know many people in the city. .”

Su Mu: "But between you and me, and between you and Hu Shun, you can't be too intimate, and you can't let others see your daily interactions."

When Su Mu said something, Xie naturally nodded.

Seeing that the matter was almost explained, Su Mu got up to leave.When it was time to leave the study, Su Mu pretended to be intentional or unintentional and asked: "Junfu, how old are you this year? Do you have any elders in your family? Have you talked about marriage?"

When Xie Ranran heard this, his body trembled, his blood boiled with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to your mentor, the student has just turned sixteen, and his parents died early. He is an orphan. My surname Xie is a child in Fufeng. The family is small, with only a few distant relatives. Speaking of it, Xie Ziran has the highest seniority in the Xie family, and there are no elders above him. There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the biggest. The students also know that it is unfilial if they do not get married earlier. It is a pity that the students Busy with making a living and studying at the same time, but never had the chance to get married."

Su Mu nodded: "It's just a random question. The housework of being a teacher is very complicated, and I can't explain it in a few words. I will be in Shaanxi next year. Maybe you can go to Beijing with me to meet your teacher's wife. What can I say to you?" She said go."

The situation of Su Mu's marriage is more complicated, not to mention Hu Ying.Today, Mrs. Wu is in charge of the housework in the Su residence.After all, Mrs. Wu is Su Mu's official wife, and she is also the appointed wife who has been ordered.

He planned to hand over his daughter to Madam Wu to raise him after returning to the capital.

Su Mu didn't want to bother with her daughter's lifelong event, so she just let Mrs. Wu decide.

Xie Ranran didn't understand what the mentor was talking about, knowing that things between himself and Nannan had turned around, he was so excited that tears were about to flow down, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, mentor, thank you, mentor."
