The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

After the eunuch read out the imperial decree, he shouted in a sharp voice: "Shen Jie, Chai Xing'er, why don't you kowtow to thank you?!"

***, deprived him of his title and title, and asked him to kowtow to thank you? !It is a thousand times more shameless than a shameless person who wants to be a bitch and erect a memorial arch!

Xing'er cursed fiercely in her heart, but she also had to kowtow to thank everyone, and shouted unwillingly: "Thank you for your kindness! Long live, long live, long live!"

Of course, it's only relatively speaking secretly, at least his parents, brothers and sisters, as well as a few of his confidantes, still know about it.These farms and shops were all purchased in the Northeast Prefecture. This time the whole family was recalled to the capital, he had to reveal these "secrets" to his uncle Chai Yong and third uncle Chen Xiang, asking them to take care of them.

This Marquis Mansion, if you take it back, take it back, it's nothing special!Anyway, I haven't lived in it for more than ten years!There are more than [-] houses in the Chai Mansion, which are enough to live in!

Among them, five were found by Shen Rui. They were descendants of the original Shen family's servants, and they looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.Shen Jie and Xing'er had been away from the capital for more than ten years, these people did not know each other at all, and few of them were truly loyal.Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Pearl and Treasure to live in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

It's just that the financial, human and material resources in his hands are so huge that the emperor and concubine Shu could never have dreamed of it!

Well, the Yan family and the Xu family are different from the Shen family.The Shen family is a thousand-year-old family, and the family's wealth has been accumulated like a cow's hair.Even in the turbulent years, there was a lot of wear and tear, but since Shen Jie turned 15 years old, he took over the family business and bought a lot.The strength is not comparable to that of the Xu family and the Yan family, so the Shen family can turn more than 13% of the industry into darkness without causing too much suspicion and dissatisfaction from the court and the royal family. [-]acv.

Let's put it this way, due to special reasons, Yuwan Villa had to be exposed to the eyes of the world.However, Shen Kuang turned most of his power into the dark, and established a new sect -- Zhishantang.

That farm was secretly bought by him under a pseudonym, and he sent someone with his confidant to manage it.Those more than 100 people have long been subdued by all kinds of hard labor and have become the backbone of reclamation.It took only half a year to reclaim hundreds of acres of wasteland. Two years later, it has already become a good farmland and orchard.

With these foundations, the people of these families did not panic when they received the imperial decree, let alone feel that a catastrophe was imminent.Ten years ago, I experienced the kind of misery of confiscation and exile. Now that the children have grown up, there is nothing that everyone can't bear anymore!

Xing'er and Shen Jie were so angry that they couldn't care less about taking care of him, so the old housekeeper hurriedly stuffed a 100 tael bank note.

In this world, one would rather offend a gentleman than a villain!If you don't give a reward, if the eunuch goes back to add oil and vinegar, the Holy One will be furious, and the Shen family and the Chai family will be ransacked and exiled, then it will be a big loss!

After more than ten years of tempering, An Shichang has undergone drastic changes. Now he is calm, courageous, wise, and shows the air of a king.When she was in Baozigang, Xinger also intentionally or unintentionally instilled in An Shichang some ideology of politics.Sometimes, I will tell you some historical stories and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as well as slightly adapted stories of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties, so that everyone can get some inspiration from the stories.

Xu Youran suddenly stood up: "Kuang'er's words are very good, I agree! The current emperor is indeed a foolish emperor, worthy of being the son of Empress Dou, and he is very heartless! We people do not pursue glory and wealth, I just want to live a peaceful life, why is it so difficult?"

You stupid king, if you really live forever, wouldn't you become an old monster? !

He acted very low-key, even when he returned to the Hou Mansion and took up the post of chief steward, he did not get carried away with complacency.Appear in front of the world with the image of "cowardly and not loyal enough to the master".As such, he naturally has no one in his hands, and has no ability to prevent Zhu Zhenbao from entering the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion!

It's just that you can't give too much!Just now the imperial decree said that as atonement, most of the properties of the Shen family and the Chai family will be taken back.Tomorrow, the Imperial Forest Army will personally come to take over Dingguohou's Mansion, and not a single plant, tree, brick or tile, or even a dish in this mansion can be taken away.

The content of the imperial decree was to deprive the Shen family, Xu family, Yan family, and Chai family of [-]% of their properties in the Northeast, leaving only the necessary capital for survival.For industries in other places, only the Wushuang Villa in Lizhou was left to the Yan family, and the Xu family village next to Xinghua Village was also left to the Xu family.

The catastrophe ten years ago did not affect him and his family. He was ordered to "lurk" in Huai City, wait for the time to mature, and accumulate strength for the future.Over the past ten years, he has done many things, and it seems to be one of the very important "hole cards" in Shen Jie's hands.

While shouting, Xing'er muttered unkindly in her heart.

Shen Jie and Xinger nodded and smiled to show encouragement.

The industries under Shen Kuang's name even involved shipping, munitions, hidden cabinet organizations, grain shops, cloth houses, etc.These industries can play an extremely important role in wartime.

Fortunately, Xinghua Village is under Tao'er's name. The Holy One intends to use Mu Qingfeng again to divide and disintegrate the forces of Shen Jie, Xu Youran, Yan Wushuang, and Xing'er, and at the same time play a role in sowing discord --- Xu's family, Chai's family, etc. The Mu family, the Shen family, and the Yan family were almost ransacked, leaving the Mu family alone, and Tao'er not only had a bad relationship with Xing'er, but also had a close relationship with the queen.

In the huge underground secret room, the atmosphere is very dignified.

After three years of inspection and observation, more than 100 dross with bad conduct, greedy for life and fear of death, and lazy people were eliminated, and those who remained were basically honest and honest people.Those more than 100 people were directly sent to the "reform through labor farm" in Northeast Prefecture by him.

Regarding this issue, Xing'er's family had discussed it long ago and reached a consensus.Even Shen Kuo and Shen Xuan, who were in charge of watching the wind outside, were not excluded, and the family had a lot to discuss.

Especially Shen Jie, Xing'er, and Shen Kuang behaved very calmly, as if the eunuch came to read out the imperial decree, just like neighbors borrowing green onions.

The eunuch stood still, obviously wanting a bank note or something.

The other people were sent by various parties, and naturally there were many people from the emperor and concubine Shu.Of course, the identities of these people were not "exposed", they were all hidden.It seems that there is no problem, but in fact there are serious problems, and none of them are worry-free guys.

A few days later, Shen Jie, Shen Kuang, Shen Rui, Shen Han, Xing'er, Xu Youran, Xu Youyang, Yan Wushuang, Yan Haifeng, Chai Hong, and An Shichang quietly met at Taoran Farm to discuss big plans .

The butler and his three subordinates are naturally the ones Shen Jie can trust, but there is no way to defeat them.At the beginning, in order to prevent Zhuzhu and Zhenbao from entering the main courtyard, the housekeeper and several of his subordinates were injured and were almost hacked to death by a kitchen knife.In desperation, he had no choice but to watch the master's courtyard being taken over by the b*tch, which made the butler vomit blood in anger.

Most of the properties left by the Shen family for thousands of years were taken by the royal family during the ransacking of the house ten years ago.The Shen family was wronged two years ago, and those properties were only paid back more than [-]% symbolically, and most of them were downturned shops and low-grade fields.Fortunately, Xing'er had a premonition, and suggested that Shen Jie should turn part of the Shen family's property into darkness. Shen Jie felt that it was very reasonable, and just before the house raid, she secretly transferred and sold more than [-]% of the property.As a result, the Shen family was not hurt.

The Tea Fragrance Shop and Xiangmanlou under Xinger's name will also be nationalized, leaving only the Tianxiang Shop, but the development is restricted and no further expansion is allowed.If there is any disobedience, it will be punished as conspiracy and will be killed without mercy!

Shen Kuang first broke the silence: "Father, mother, elders, the Holy Majesty is a foolish emperor, he uses his ministers and thieves a lot, and he listens to the instigation of Concubine Shu who has dishonest confidence skills. If things go on like this, our family will surely die without a place to die! I propose, against this senseless and stupid king, go our own way! I have had enough of the days with sharp knives hanging above my head all the time, and I can't bear it anymore!"

More than [-]% of the Shen family's wealth is enough to feed the greedy hearts of the imperial court and the royal family, and it won't cause a fatal disaster!

This trick can be said to be innocuous. The current Tianxiang business name is not comparable to that before it was ransacked and exiled ten years ago.Ten years ago, there were at least [-] branch offices of Tianxiang Company across the country.Today, there are only a few dozen, mainly distributed in Northeast Prefecture, Huaicheng, the suburbs of Beijing and Lizhou.

The limit of one-third is just right, if it is too much, it will arouse the suspicion of the court, and it will be caught, and it may lead to a tragic scene of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.It's too little, and it's inevitable that you can't give it up. After all, it's accumulated with blood and sweat, so how can you be willing to hand it over to others?

Shen Kuo also bought some properties in secret, although not many, only a few shops, a house with three entrances, a farm with a small hill, and a medium-sized field of more than 50 mu.However, if he gets married and has children, it will be enough to support his own small family.

Shen An's family became free citizens. According to Shen Jie's instructions, he took the 3000 taels of Anjia silver that Shen Jie gave him, and went to a small town in the Huaicheng area, where he settled down.Shen Jie had already arranged for him the household registration and house. The household registration has been changed and has nothing to do with the Shen family.The house is a small house with two entrances, the surrounding environment is quiet and safe, and even the neighbors are good-natured people.

However, with the lessons learned ten years ago, Xing'er has more than twenty farms behind her back.Secretly, she has other businesses, all; lucrative restaurants, restaurants, jewelry stores, and clothing stores.

Since five years ago, with the support of his father and mother, he has used the money given by his parents and the money he earned from hunting to prepare for a rainy day.Successively took in more than 500 orphans aged five to 15, as well as more than sixty poor families who were oppressed by bullies and the government to the point that they had no way out.There are more than [-] people in these sixty or so families.

If Xing'er was a little more stingy and narrow-minded, she would definitely "thinly gather and thicken her hair", set off a huge farce, and break up with Tao'er.Thus, the "Five Great Powers" that were once talked about by the world and deeply feared by the royal family -- Shen family, Xu family, Chai family, Yan family and Mu family opened a big gap. , given time, it will definitely be completely disintegrated, nothing to fear!

The family discussed quickly for a while, and made a decision to call together more than 30 people in the Hou Mansion.Among these people, apart from the chief steward and his three subordinates, no one belonged to Shen Jie and Xing'er.

Shen An is 45 years old. She was Shen Jie's former personal bodyguard and grew up with him.Ten years ago, one month before the Shen family was confiscated and exiled, Shen Jie decisively gave him freedom, returned his family's life deeds to him, and went to the yamen to go through the formal registration of paperwork.

Sure enough, this stupid king didn't even spare other innocent people, and the matter of Pearl and Treasure was just an excuse.At the same time that Xing'er's family received the imperial edict, Xu's family, Yan's family and De Wang An Shichang also received the imperial edict.

Its intentions are not sinister or ugly!

Shen Jie has already learned about these situations, and it is much easier to clean up the servants at this time: "Shen An, take three of your subordinates and temporarily go to Taoran Farm to resettle! In a few days, my wife and I have finished the matter at hand. I will also go there to resettle!"

Fortunately, the Xu family and the Yan family were also prepared.As early as half a year ago, he followed Xing'er's persuasion and turned more than one-third of his assets into darkness to minimize losses.

Influenced and inspired by him, when Xing'er's family embarked on the journey back to Beijing, Chai Yong and Chen Xiang were also very smart to apply for some fake identity certificates, secretly purchased some land, mountains, houses and shops, Be prepared.

An Shichang also responded enthusiastically: "That's right, what's going on? There is no one who bullies people like this. A single confiscation of the house and exile is enough to be wronged and punished! A foolish ruler is a foolish ruler!"

In the long night and the boring cold winter, we spent many times listening to Xing'er's stories. "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Folk Tales", "Water Margin", "Small Stories and Great Principles". . . . . .There are also some online novels, what Xing'er can remember in her mind, almost everything is narrated.Some of them can’t remember clearly, so she can process them by herself, as long as they are interesting and educational.

Of course, Myolie also instilled some ideas of socialism, especially the concept of "equality between men and women".After so many years, it has been quite effective. At least among her relatives and friends, none of them are old-fashioned, feudal or superstitious.

Monitor and scold.An Shichang is the most "progressive" person among all the people, like a rising star in the night sky, dazzling.Every once in a while when Myolie sees him, she always has a bright feeling in front of her eyes: whether it is his temperament or mental state, Myolie has to admire him with admiration and is deeply moved.
