I'm so hard

Chapter 206 Youngest Cui's Bad Idea
A tall, burly man in a black robe with a slightly gray beard strode into Cui's courtyard.

This person is Cui He, the head of the Cui family.

Cui He was a well-known business genius when he was young, and he was especially addicted to gambling.

He once lost 30 taels of silver notes in one day, but relying on his extraordinary business talent, he insisted on earning all the money back within three months.

Over the years, the aristocratic families of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been continuously squeezed by the literati and officials, and their status has long been different from the past, and some aristocratic families have even disappeared in the dust of history.

A big family and a big business are the most prone to problems, and every small problem may become the fuse to end a century-old family.

The Cui family in Xingyuan County also experienced several crises, but it was all thanks to Cui He's bold and arbitrary strategy that brought the Cui family back on track.

But in the Cui family, Cui He was eloquent, no Cui family dared to object to what he said.

"Meet the patriarch (father)!" Everyone said in unison.

Cui He glanced at several people and said, "Say it in the hall!"

After finishing speaking, Cui He walked into the hall and sat on the main seat.

He has always been vigorous and resolute in his work, and he doesn't like the cumbersome etiquette and rules of many literati and officials.

Immediately, Boss Cui hurriedly poured hot tea for him, and then waved his hand towards the door. Immediately, all the other servants retreated and closed the door.

Cui He looked down, frowned and said: "I have read the letter written to me by the third brother, to gather public opinion to resist the New Deal, let His Majesty know that what he did was wrong, and use it to restore the glory of my Cui family. This idea is very good , but why the interest of scholars and common people is not very high!"

Cui Laosan is Cui He's favorite son.

He took the lead and said: "Father, things went smoothly at first, and the scholars and common people in Xingyuan County could still quarrel for a few days, but now the New Deal inspector sent by the imperial court has come to our Xingyuan County, and with me Cui There are some conflicts at home!"

"Inspector of the New Deal? What conflicts happened between you, tell me in detail!" Cui He asked with a slight frown.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Laosan explained all the conflicts with Zhao Yan.

However, in his narration, he naturally said how bad Zhao Yan could be.

Because a child drowned, the Cui family was asked to compensate [-]% of the property.

Because the two carriages were fighting for the road, they beat up Fan Tianlong, the young master of the Fan Mansion.

Cui Laosan asked him to reason, and the latter beat them all up with his guards, some of them were even lying at home.

There is also a desire for Cui Yanyan's beauty, intending to make Cui Yanyan betray the Cui family for her.

……

In short, in his mouth, Zhao Yan's crime can only be described in four words: too many to describe.

The eldest, second, fifth, and Fan Tianlong of the Cui family all felt that what Cui's third child said was true and appropriate.

Only Liu Shiqing and Cui Mingzhi, who were more honest, felt uncomfortable all over, and could hardly listen to it anymore.They felt that Cui Laosan would die from this indiscriminate mouth sooner or later.

After Cui He listened to it, he had already labeled Zhao Yan in his heart: a dude who wants to be promoted by the New Deal, and is probably a second-generation official.

"It's just an idle official of the fifth rank. Don't be afraid. Let's ignore him. Our urgent task now is how to completely arouse the emotions of the people and scholars? Let the court quickly know our Xingyuan County's attitude towards the New Deal. Rebellion and the New Deal are indeed detrimental to the people, and it will not implicate my Cui family." Cui He said.

A few days ago, when Cui He received a letter from Cui Laosan, informing him that the Cui family might be able to rise to the next level in the New Deal incident and be in charge of Zhongshu Province, Cui He was so excited that he stayed up all night.

He has always had a gambler's mentality, including many of the current achievements of the Cui family, all because of Cui He's desperate gambling.

And this time, it was an unprecedented huge gamble.

If the New Deal is not beneficial to the country, he won the bet. As the first family to resist the New Deal, maybe his family will be promoted to the status of the world's number one family.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, what is more powerful than the imperial power is the hearts of the people. If the Cui family is revered by the people as the first family, then all of them, the Cui family, will be famous in history.

With such a status, even if Da Zhou is destroyed by Northern Mongolia, the Cui family's power and reputation will still be unbreakable.

Because any imperial court needs this kind of family that can win the hearts of the people.

As for whether he would lose the bet, Cui He never thought about it. He believed that it was impossible for him to lose in his life.

Hearing that Cui He supported the resistance to the New Deal, Cui Laosan couldn't help being overjoyed, and instantly had another idea.

"Father, my child has an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Cui Laosan looked at Cui He and said.

Cui He said a little irritably: "What does it mean to speak properly or not? Say it quickly!"

Cui Laosan looked at the few people around him and couldn't help hesitating.

"There are no outsiders here, so why do you hesitate, just talk, whoever wants to reveal it, I will break his leg!"

Hearing the last sentence "I'll break his leg", Liu Shiqing couldn't help but tremble. His godfather said beating is real beating, not to mention he is a small county magistrate, even his son-in-law Ganping prefect Mo Sound, if there is something that makes him angry, it will be hit with a big slap photon, without leaving the slightest sympathy.

Cui Laosan thought for a while, and said: "Since ancient times, reforms have always started with bloodshed. I think that if a few people don't die, the court will not pay attention."

"If we in Xingyuan County can have a few scholars who resist the New Deal with their lives and write anti-New Deal books, it will definitely resonate with scholars all over the world. By then, the New Deal will undoubtedly fail, and my Cui family can properly bury these people. Scholar, as long as the news spreads, we can use money to support more scholars and let them go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. If this happens, my Cui family's benevolence and forward-looking vision will be known to everyone in the world Is it? We rescued Da Zhou from the fire and water!"

Hearing this, Cui Mingzhi felt that Cui Laosan was a very scary person.

But Cui He's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Good idea! Great idea!"

Cui Laowu on the side asked with some doubts: "Third brother, where are we going to find such scholars?"

Cui Laosan laughed immediately.

"It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but is it hard to find a two-legged scholar? Even if they don't want to commit suicide, I can make them commit suicide!"

Cui He, who was on the side, looked at Youngest Cui with great admiration, and said, "Third brother, I will leave this matter to you. As long as it can cause a shock in the court, I will credit you as the first credit. As for the inspector of the New Deal, if he If you dare to show your face far away from us, old man, I have countless means to put him to death!"

"For our Cui family, I will do my best!" Cui Laosan said, puffing out his chest.
