I’m Not Really A Study God

Xu’s mansion, in the hall of Xu patriarch’s house, Xu Jiqian sits in the main seat, the complexion is gloomy almost dripping out, the few sitting under him are either Xu Jiqian’s brother or excellent nephew, including Yu Tongzhi, the senior official and son-in-law, also sipped tea from his seat.

Yu Tongzhi is 45 years old this year, his age is not much younger than Xu Jiqian, but this is the daughter of Xu Jiqian, of course, Yu Tongzhi was not without marriage before, but his wife died. Years later, he married Xu’s daughter as his wife.

That Xu’s prostitute is only 22 years old and she can old cow eating the young grass. Thanks to Yu Tongzhi’s good looks, she is a handsome middle-aged uncle at first glance. To realize this business. You should know that Yu Tongzhi is only the first generation of officials in the Yu family, and is basically incomparable with a century-old famous family like the Xu family. To say that he married a prostitute of the Xu family is still a high level in the normal view of Shilin.

In the current Xu Mansion, apart from the patriarch Xu Jiqian controls everything, Xu Jiqian’s fifth brother, Xu Jiming, is in charge of the Xu’s salt farm. Among the juniors, Xu Jiqian’s eldest son and Xu Weiping, although eldest Son is not a direct son. Xu Weiping’s position is similar to Xiao Jichen’s position in Xiao Family.

His son Xu Weifan, who is keen on fame and has long been a member of Shilin, although he is not good at calligraphy and painting, and cannot follow the line of the two generations of Li Family, he is also not famous in Shilin. small.

Especially the wife Xu Weifan married is the daughter of Governor Zhang in the governor’s office of Yun Prefecture. Even if she is a concubine, this is a great help to Xu Weifan. Depending on in-laws, he can also call Governor Zhang as Father-in-law.

Looking at it, the dead seventh of the Xu family, and Xu Weifan are the biological brothers of the same father and mother. At this moment, Xu Weifan is a little upset. I was not able to compete with him for the family property, but because of the death of Old Seven, Li Family and Xu Family worked against each other for 5-6 days, and all kinds of wealth were lost a lot, and there was a lot of friendly exchanges with him…

If he can call the shots right now, he really wants to keep things down like this, but he also knows that it won’t work. Now that the two families have been fighting each other, it is not just a matter of revenge for the old seventh, but a matter of face-to-face.

They are all local tyrants in Xuecheng Mansion, Peak wealthy family, if they don’t continue, take the initiative to counsel, after that, the whole Xuecheng talks about noble family, who will care about Xu family?

The silent atmosphere lasted for a while. Xu Weifan was lightly coughed when he did not speak to the left or right. “Father, Fifth Uncle, Yu Tongzhi, things have developed so far. We must also give Li Family a hard time. It’s expected.”

“Yesterday, our merchant fleet was robbed at Liang Dao Mansion. Even though most of the people on the ship were fine, the cargo suffered heavy losses. This must be done by Li Family!”

“They dare to use swords and soldiers, we can’t be indifferent.”

The day before yesterday, Su Heng said a group of names to Li Yuanshu. After knowing the group’s names, Li Family decided him It was the Prince of Shang and Tang, planning to make great efforts to attack the Xu family.

What I did was to start with the merchant ship of the Xu family in another place.

Today, Li Yuanshu went to visit Su Heng. What he wanted to talk about was the Liang Dao Mansion, which is adjacent to Xuecheng Mansion. Fucheng is also a coastal port. Starting from Xuecheng Port, it will take ten hours if it goes well. arrival.

The islands of Lu are located in the subtropical area, and the summer days are long and long. In theory, you can go back and forth in one day.

Between the two prefectures, commerce and trade activities are also extremely frequent. The two prefectures have different specialties, which can produce complementary advantages. For example, in Xuecheng, in addition to normal food, more people grow more. The orchard is extremely rich in fruit products, while Liang Dao Mansion grows various herbs and the medical industry is extremely developed.

The second difference is that Xuecheng has many shipbuilding industries in the local area, and Liang Dao Mansion has multiple iron and bronze castings.

Under the complementarity, the Aristocratic Family merchants of the two places, running and managing wealth, are everyday.

This kind of daily profit is far inferior to the huge profits of Lu Kingdom to Dashang or Rome, but it is also considered a long-term wealth for local families.

A while ago, the salt farms, fisheries, commercial bidding and other behaviors were ignored. Even if a few fishing boats occasionally hit a few times, it was still a mild method. Li Family suddenly increased the competition to pirates. This is another nature!

Waiting for Xu Weifan’s words to fall, Xu patriarch who was present here asked the characters to look more ugly, ugly or ugly, Xu Jiqian still coldly said, “That old man dared to do this step, I dared to do it harder, contact Three wolves island, let them intercept goods and kill people!”

Three wolves island is a small island that is not far from Xuecheng Mansion and can be reached within three days on a normal route. There are three wolves entrenched on it. , The reputation in the Xuecheng area is not small. Of course, as a member of the Peak gentry, the Xu family is normally closely related to Sanlang Island.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Tongzhi smiled and said, “Father-in-law, do you want me to work harder to hit the Yixian islands with Li Family?”

This was spoken to Xu Jiqian, but his eyes looked towards Xu Weifan. He knew that only relying on his own strength, he really could not deal with the first-line islands, the land of Xuecheng had no official military power worth talking about.

Only he and Xu Weifan, once from official business and from the joint recommendation of Governor Zhang’s family affairs, can they hope that the Governor’s Yamen can dispatch troops and come to Xuecheng to quell the pirates.

Yun Prefecture is a state navy, and its strength cannot be ignored. It is still possible to pull out several thousand-ton battleships.

Although the State of Lu is very weak and the royal family does not control much military power, there are still many that the gentry can control.

As for the Xiao Family private team, it can pull out more than a dozen large ships and two thousand-ton battleships. This is only an voyage team, not including offshore…

Xu Weifan is nodded decisively smile.

At this moment, without waiting for Xu Jiqian to say anything, he heard rapid footsteps outside, and soon there was a report from Steward.

After Xu Jiqian gave the order, Steward walked into the hall with a pale face, “Master, something has happened. Li Wangjiang led more than two hundred strong and powerful family members outside the house in armor and said that he would visit the master.”

p>

the past few days Li Family and Xu’s family, you are fighting and I am very hot, can Li Wangjiang’s visit be a good thing? Not to mention, there are more than 200 young and sturdy families with sharp armor.

What do you want to do?

The upper and lower levels of Xu’s mansion present, the same complexion was greatly changed, and they all understood what the armor and the sharp represented.

After his face turned white, Yu Tongzhi slapped the table with anger and got up, “Absurd, what is Li Wangjiang doing, rebellion?”

Even if the royal family of Lu is weak not Worth mentioning, it is a puppet and a mascot, but he is surrounded by the government with his family in armor, armor and sharp. Okay, this is not the government. He is the second-in-command in the same government.

Also, how many of those present have no fame? This is a group of Scholars, scholastic figures, who have a fame as a member of the ruling class. Even if they don’t have official status, they can call themselves ministers when they meet the emperor.

Xu Jiqian also broke out into laughter caused by anger, “Go out and meet Li Wangjiang, the old man wants to see, he still dares to attack my Xu Mansion?”

Li Family can have more than 200 young and strong families, do you think Xu family does not have it?
