Chapter 542 Chapter 542: It’s hard to get off the tiger [Please vote]
Businessmen don’t offend people easily and they don’t make friends easily, so the relationship between Xu Jie and Zhao Feng is not that good. During the two years when Zhao Feng repaid his favor to Shen Tang, the two of them had more interactions. Zhao Feng often entrusted Xu Jie to take care of his children.
In the past two years, Xu Jie has been doing very well.
Seeing that it was him, Zhao Feng's cold face became a little warmer, and he took the initiative to say hello. Seeing that Xu Jie's face was not friendly, he asked with concern, "What's going on?" Xu Jie turned his head, glanced at the lord's mansion with his peripheral vision, frowned and sighed.
Zhao Feng noticed his little movement.
He immediately smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I had a drink and chat with Wen Zhu. There are still a few jars of fine wine at home. Why don't you go to the humble house and have a drink?"
Xu Jie also needs a drink at this moment to relieve his worries.
He nodded and agreed.
Zhao Zhai, main hall.
Although members of the non-Tianhai family, headed by Qin Li and Zhao Feng, encountered workplace exclusion, in the final analysis it was due to personal conflicts between their subordinates. As the lord, Wu Xian never treats those who work for him financially and materially, and is very generous.
In the two years since Zhao Feng was away from Tianhai, the family and the children in the family lived well, with rewards for the four seasons and eight festivals, and the house was repaired several times.
However——
A good living environment cannot relieve depression.
Xu Jie and Xu Jie each have their own thoughts.
Zhao ordered his servants to go to the wine cellar and bring two jars of fine wine.
Opening the red cloth wine seal, the aroma of wine comes out.
Xu Jie sniffed lightly and joked: "Shen Jun is quite interesting. The wine given to Dayi is not adulterated at all."
Zhao Feng was also teased to the point where he couldn't hold back. .
Later he found out that the fine wine Shen Tang sold to various places in Tianhai was mixed with water, and then in the hands of the profiteer Xu Jie, it turned into water mixed with wine. Zhao Fengchu felt bad at first, but then he thought about it, it would be hard to say whether one of them would be willing to fight and the other to suffer.
This time I encountered workplace bullying when I came back...
Zhao Feng felt that they only deserved to drink water and wine.
"It's a pity that one cup of wine is too little for one cup."
His mouth has been cultivated.
I used to be able to drink a lot of low-quality and turbid wine, and I wasn’t picky about my diet. But this time I came back and felt like I couldn’t enjoy anything. I thought the wine stored in the wine cellar was too low-quality, and the chef's skills at home were too rough, but the earthen bed at home was still somewhat familiar.
Xu Jie said casually: "Go back and buy some with Mr. Shen."
He didn't ask for it directly. In fact, with Shen Jun's enthusiastic and generous temperament, Zhao Feng could ask for wine as soon as he opened his mouth without giving money.
Zhao Feng said half-truthfully: "I have no money and can't afford to drink."
After finishing the bowl in one gulp, he asked Xu Jie.
"I just saw the annotation and it seems that I have something on my mind, but I encountered something difficult?" Zhao Feng was unwilling to talk more about his own affairs, so he changed the topic to Xu Jie, "Although Feng is soft-spoken, he can't help. I’m busy, but I have ears to listen to you.”
"Dayi has been very slippery in the past two years." Xu Jie smiled and shook his head. Zhao Feng in the past would never have been able to say such teasing words. After laughing, his eyebrows were stained with sadness again, and he said seriously, "Things are not going to happen. It’s difficult because I feel uncomfortable.”
Zhao Feng frowned when he heard this.
He has been actively getting to know Tianhai since he came back.
Of course I also heard about Xu Jie’s difficulties.
He suppressed his smile and listened carefully to what Xu Jie confided while drinking, his face became more solemn. He analyzed: "Note, I am afraid that the lord is conniving at this matter..."
Xu Jie's face was dark: "I know."
Heyin was originally a poor place with little to offer.
However, after two years of investment in governance regardless of cost, Shen Tang has become full of vitality and is thriving, and every household still has a year or two of surplus food. Shen Tang also beat gongs and drums to recruit refugees and open up wasteland for management. When the refugees came, they would have land to plant and food to eat.
In order to increase the effect, they also engage in a "pyramid marketing model" - this term is what Xu Jie saw in Shen Tang's work diary - the specific operation method is that a registered commoner recruits an unregistered commoner to settle in Heyin. The former can get a bushel of new rice. The event is limited but not limited.
The registered household registration exceeded 80,000 households in one fell swoop.
Nowadays, you can see the smoke from cooking fires wherever you go.
Xu Jie knew that Shen Tang governed He Yin very well, but only after reading the large amount of documents and data left by Shen Tang's team did he know how well he was governed. Eighty thousand households, even if the proportion of young and strong is not high, they can still gather a considerable number of soldiers and horses.
After a few years, the registered child grew up...
Xu Jie also vaguely discovered the generosity left by Shen Tang. Perhaps he did not have time to destroy the documents, or perhaps he did not think about it at all. Destroy - Shen Tang once found an excuse to have villagers in each village conduct offensive and defensive drills and battles with each other as a unit!
As He Yin’s neighbor, Tian Hai was completely unaware.
Xu Jie also discovered it accidentally after taking office.
After careful investigation——
He found that these villagers had surprisingly similar thoughts.
Moreover, Li Zheng was full of gangsterism and spoke confidently: [We have nowhere else to go except He Yin. If a bad guy comes, how can he not kill his ancestors for eighteen generations? If one person can't do it, just two people; if two people can't do it, just one Murakami! 】
【Whoever steals our food, we will fight to the death! 】
【Go somewhere else? You don't even have to chew the grass roots. 】
Not a village thinks so!
Everyone in Ha Yin County thinks so!
Occasionally, you can see adults teaching children how to form a group of three, with one person attacking and two people supporting and assisting. At first glance, it seemed like he was having fun, but combined with the notes left by Shen Tang, Xu Jie's mood was as complicated as a ball of wool that he couldn't sort out.
If Shen Jun had not been redressed, according to this trend, every county bordering Heyin would be in bad luck in the next two years.
Because the soldiers and horses that He Yin can use are not only the young and strong, but also the 80,000 households of common people who are ready to defend the fields and food!
Using the advantage of being unexpected and unprepared, Tianhai was unprepared, fearing that he would not be the first to bear the brunt and be set up as a role model.
So Xu Jie knew it very well.
He Yin is fatter than the wealthy gentry in Tianhai imagined.
Zhao Feng asked him: "What are your plans?"
Let the protagonist Wu Xian intervene in Ha Yin?
In doing so, I feel sorry for Wu Xian but sorry for Shen Tang.
Wu Xian was kind to Xu Jie, but this kind of kindness was mutual help and mutual benefit. Xu Jie provided food, grass and money for his development. Wu Xian promoted the Xu family's status in Tianhai and enjoyed various invisible benefits. And Shen Tang can be called "the kindness of knowing and encountering" Xu Jie.
Because of the rule that merchants were not allowed to enter the officialdom, although Xu Jie served under Wu Xian, he was still considered a white man in the royal court.
When Shen Tang was demoted, her first reaction was to recommend Xu Jie, a businessman, to be the head of a county. This was also one of the conditions for her willingness to be demoted! Only then did Wang Ting agree.
The key is that Shen Tang is not seeking any benefits.
The grace of knowing someone and being promoted.
For Xu Jie, who has been subject to invisible discrimination since he was ignorant, the kind of touch cannot be described in words!
If Xu Jie connived at Wu Xian and gave up the real power of He Yin, he would only be a nominal governor of He Yin. Shen Tang might choose to understand his difficulties, but can Xu Jie himself be open to it? This is no different from stabbing Shen Tang in the back.
How can it be done?
Xu Jie gave a bitter smile: "...Now it's hard to get off the tiger... I just hope that I can have both. Xu Wenzhu has always been a subordinate of the lord, and this has never changed. Others..."
Wu Xian can ask for money or food, and the Xu family can afford it with its great business, but He Yin cannot be asked for it. This is the bottom line!
\(￣︶￣*\))
Tang Mei was actually very serious about brushing up on Xu Jie’s favorability, and she also prescribed the right medicine, and the level recommendation was the last wave of critical hits. It's just that he didn't come openly, even Xu Jie himself didn't know.
