Datang little husband

Chapter 204 The Future of the Du Family

"Second uncle, aren't you angry during this time? Even though you are so close, I haven't seen you yet!"

"What's there to be angry about? It's too late for me to be happy seeing you like this! If your father could see you like this, I don't know how happy he would be.

But you said this time that you want your cousin to come back to manage this lotus leaf town, isn't that bad!After all, this is also at the feet of the emperor!Even if the mayor of this town is only a minor official under the ninth rank, he is also an official ordered by the imperial court!Can His Majesty agree? "

Don't look at Du Chuke at this time is already one of the six Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, but he is still so unwilling to deal with his eldest son, a small official from the ninth rank. It can be seen that this son of a concubine, Not only are they unwelcome in their own homes, but they are also unwelcome when they come out.

If it were Du Chuke's legitimate son, there would still be so many things to worry about. However, Du Chuke's legitimate son was only ten years old today and was still a child, so Du Chuke would need to worry about these things.

"Second uncle, you forgot that there is still a princess among your niece and daughter-in-law! Let alone a ninth-rank petty official for my cousin, it is not a problem even a seventh-rank official! Besides, your nephew and I are also a princess at any rate. Duke, this is another fiefdom, so naturally I have the final say!

Of course, the main reason why I asked my cousin to come here is because this place is so important. Even though this is a town that was just named by His Majesty, there are too many things hidden in it.

Among other things, the medical school and the military academy alone seem inconspicuous now, but it will be different in the future. Imagine that almost [-]% of the doctors and generals in the Tang Dynasty will come from these two schools. If he went out, what would his status be like as the highest officer in charge of the two academies? "After Du He finished speaking, he looked at his second uncle Du Chuke.

Du He felt that with his second uncle's ingenuity, it shouldn't be difficult to imagine the stakes.

And the entire Heye Town also includes all the workshops in Anguo Gongfu, as well as the workshops opened in cooperation with other people.

You must know that for these workshops, Du He did not use his privileges to exempt them from taxes, so the taxes generated by these workshops alone are not a small amount.

The main reason why Du He didn't do that was to let Li Shimin see that a qualified and mature workshop can not only provide jobs for many people, but also provide the country with a considerable tax, so that Realize the benefits of starting a workshop.

And with these, as the supreme officer in charge of the entire Heye Town, there will be absolutely no shortage of political achievements, and naturally there will be no shortage of benefits.

Thinking of this, Du Chuke couldn't help laughing. Although Du Yan was only his son from a concubine, he was his own son after all, so he was naturally very concerned. Originally, Du Chuke was a little uncomfortable when he was arranged by Du He to go to the south of the Yangtze River, but after seeing Du Yan He did a good job, and as Du He's status became higher and higher, it naturally made Du Chuke more determined to follow his nephew.

Now that such a good thing happened again, the smile on Du Chuke's face never stopped. He kept holding Du He's hand and chatting with Du He there.

Later, I saw Li Xin and the others bowing to him one by one at the door, especially Du Chuke knew their identities before, but now they all regarded themselves as juniors and bowed to him, which made Du Chuke very happy.

After some greetings, Du He asked Liu Fu to arrange for the servants brought by Du Chuke, while he himself took Du Chuke to visit his wife.

"Shan Bin pays homage to my sister-in-law!"

"It's Shanbin here. Get up quickly. They're all from my family. Those who are so polite, He'er, hurry up and bring the good things at home. In order to avoid suspicion, many things in this house were not taken to your second uncle. , make it up together this time!"

Seeing her brother-in-law officially coming over, Mrs. Liu was so happy!Pulling up Du Chuke, she kept urging Du He to quickly move what she thought was a good thing to his second uncle.

When Du He saw this, he was unambiguous at all. After going out, he brought all kinds of food and drink over, and even Du He came over to say hello to his wife and second uncle.

"Second uncle, please sit down and talk to my mother while I go to the kitchen to make us some food to go with the wine. Let us uncle and nephew have a nice drink today!"

"He'er is not busy, not busy!......"

"Shan Bin, don't worry about him, let him go! He should pay respect to your second uncle! After all, since your elder brother left, we are the only one left! As a junior, If you, an elder, come to visit, if he doesn't behave well, then he will really be accused of being unfilial!" Liu's expression changed obviously when he said this.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, what others say is their business, as long as our family knows.

But to be honest, when my brother found me and told me about the plan, I was really taken aback, but now it seems that our family made the right bet. This is rare in ancient times!

Originally, I thought that such an achievement would at least take a long time, but I didn't expect that He'er is so powerful! "When Du Chuke said that, his face was also flushed.

"Yes! When He'er first revealed his plan, I was almost scared to death by him. I even thought that he was suffering from hysteria. But look at it now. Although he has no position and no character in the court, he has the power in his hands. It’s not too small, and it’s just like when your elder brother was around, you can speak straight to the face, all this is really like a dream!”

"Who said it wasn't! And this is not counting Gou'er's development in Lingnan. I heard before that the south of Lingnan is currently under the control of Gouer, and has formed a rivalry with the local forces there! Even Because of the economic development, it has more prestige than the Feng family in the local area! If it develops for a few years, and Gou'er completely controls the land of Lingnan for His Majesty, then Gou'er may be able to reach the height of big brother, so..."

"Shanbin, you should not say this lightly. Although it is true, it may cause unnecessary trouble. And if that day comes, you may have to be wronged and step down from your current position! I don't know then. you………"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! I understand all this, and this is also for the inheritance of our Du family. It is enough to give up some power appropriately and only retain the necessary right to speak. After all, now the court, or His Majesty, has no control over the five surnames and seven people in the north. The family is already dissatisfied, although it has not reached the point of tearing their faces.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the aristocratic family doesn't restrain themselves a bit, the end will not be very good.

Naturally, my Du family can't follow in their footsteps!Keeping a low profile is the long-term solution! "Du Chuke said to Mrs. Liu.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, agreeing with her uncle's words. The Du family really shouldn't be too high-profile.
