Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

Liao Zhi glanced at the banknotes in the box and was very satisfied with the sensibleness of Tang Mo and his wife.

Not only did he help Tang Mo cover up the scandal of the Marquis' Mansion, he also said a few good words for Tang Mo in front of the emperor. It turned out that the five thousand taels were really earned by his own ability. Thinking of this, he felt a little more confident.

“I’ll make more money later.”

"Don't."

Mrs. Liao asked him to stop talking. "Where are you going to make money? Are you trying to destroy the relationship between me and the younger sister of the Xin family?"

Liao Zhi stood there obediently. "I will help him again if I have the chance. His wife will thank you, and it will be my profit."

"Or you can see what other business you want to do, I can help you."

He felt guilty for spending money even though he had no money. Mrs. Liao was very satisfied with his recent changes. "I'll let you know when I need you. You don't have to do anything special for Tang Mo. It will seem deliberate. Just make an effort at the critical moment."

I don’t know what happened, but I became much more considerate after coming back from a trip.

Mrs. Liao put away the banknotes with a smile, and told Liao Zhi that he should be cautious and careful. She also tried to find a way to help the Liao family's men. "It's tiring for you to support the family alone. It would be good to have a few more people to help you. You can choose. If you find someone useful, use him. If you don't find someone useful, don't force him. If anyone is dissatisfied with you, let him come to me. Let's forget about last year. There must be new rules in the new year."

Liao Zhi nodded, "I will."

Soon Xin An received a return gift from her sister Xu, who said it was a pair of porcelain dolls, very cute and adorable, and that they had been offered to the Bodhisattva and would bring her a good pregnancy.

Tang Mo once again sat in front of Tang Gang and told him about the gift he gave to Liao Zhi. "Five thousand taels, that's five thousand taels of real gold and silver."

Tang Gang felt that the money should be spent. If Liao Zhi had not suppressed the matter, the loss of the Marquis' Mansion would have been more than five thousand taels.

Seeing Tang Mo's heartbroken expression, he felt angry for no reason. "I've told your mother that starting this year you can go to the account office to withdraw 5,000 taels for your spending. Remember, this money is for you to do things, not for you to eat and drink."

"Eating and drinking is also a kind of work."

Tang Mo once again showed his eight teeth, his smile was worthless, "Then can the five thousand taels I spend now be counted as last year's? Otherwise, I'll spend it all at the beginning, so what will I spend this year?"

"Besides, my father should know who I'm spending this money on."

Tang Gang didn't want to argue with him about this. After all, he was the victim in this matter. "I'll ask your mother to give it to you later."

Tang Mo was satisfied then, and said that he would pay out the five thousand taels that belonged to him later and give them to his wife for safekeeping when he got back. Tang Gang just felt a headache. Such a carefree person actually listened to his wife in everything. Wasn't he too obedient?

"What do you know? If that silver falls into my wife's hands, it can make money. It's not bad to turn five thousand taels into six thousand taels."

Tang Mo acted as if his wife was very capable and successfully made Tang Gang close his eyes.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Tang Mo talked about Xin Kuan's return visit to the capital. "Nominally, he accepted the invitation of the imperial merchant Yao family to send this year's tribute to the capital, but in reality, he came to personally thank General Xu. In my opinion, the Xu family is determined to get my father-in-law on board."

"My father-in-law had no choice but to board this ship. Not to mention that the benefits were already in his hands, he had no power to refuse."

"The emperor intends to let me get close to the veterans who followed my grandfather in the past. He must have a plan for the next step. It turns out that the Marquis' Mansion is not worth winning over in the eyes of the princes. I'm afraid the situation will change after my father-in-law enters the capital. Father needs to prepare early."

Xin An was right. Before Tang Mo became more mature, Tang Gang was the pillar of the family. He must be informed of such an important event.

Tang Gang's face was serious. He knew that it was his own retreat that gave the Xu family the opportunity to win over the Xin family. It was useless to regret, but it was unlikely that he would take sides because of this.

Tang Mo added, "My father-in-law started the sugar business after his business suffered setbacks. The last time my wife went to the palace, the emperor specifically asked about sugar. He must have approved of it. I think General Xu made it clear to the emperor. Last year, my father-in-law went through a lot of trouble to get through all the channels. From sugarcane planting to sugar making, to the transportation route, everything is ready."

"These three months are the critical time for sugar production. I am afraid that when my father sees my father-in-law again, he will not only be a salt merchant, but also a sugar merchant, a big sugar merchant."

I said I wouldn't regret it, but when I heard these things, I regretted it immediately. I took a sip of tea to suppress the surging emotions in my heart. Tang Gang raised his eyes and asked, "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier?"

"You didn't even give me a chance."

Tang Mo rolled his eyes at him, "How many times have I been to this study before? Even if I came here, I was scolded. Do I have a chance to speak?"

"Will your father listen to what I say?"

Tang Gang hated himself for being too talkative. He thought for a while before saying, "There is no choice in the current situation. Your father-in-law has been wooed by the Xu family, which is equivalent to relying on the second prince. I am afraid that the Xu family will finalize this matter with him when they come to the capital. The Xu family will support your father-in-law to become a real merchant tycoon and become the second prince's money bag."

"Under this situation, I'm afraid it will be impossible for the Marquis' Mansion to remain neutral."

Who would believe him if he said he didn't know the inside story?

Although Tang Mo knew that it was the second prince who ascended the throne and became emperor in his previous life, he did not dare to be sure that it would be him again in this life, for fear of changes. After all, he had been involved in court affairs for a very short time, and he did not understand many things, and he was not thorough. Now he could only pin his hopes on his old man.

"I don't quite understand the twists and turns here, so please come up with a set of rules as soon as possible, and I'll know what to do."

Tang Gang nodded. Not to mention Tang Mo, even Tang Rong couldn't handle this kind of thing well, as they all lacked experience.

"After the beginning of the year, I will find a job for your eldest brother. Once he leaves, he will not be able to come back for three years. During these three years, I will do my best to help you. How far you can go depends entirely on your ability."

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was not a bad idea. Without Tang Rong being an eyesore, he wouldn't have to distract himself by staring at him. "I'm just afraid that he won't leave. Besides, are you willing to let him go?"

"You don't need to worry about this. You always say that I favor your eldest brother and give him all the good things in the mansion. Then the next three years will be your time to prove yourself. Don't let your father down."

Sending Tang Rong away was originally just an idea, but the steamed egg that came from the palace on New Year's Eve made him determined. Since Tang Mo's development was unstoppable, he would go with the flow and see how far Tang Mo could go.

Tang Rong is in a difficult situation now. Even if he stays in the capital, he won't be able to achieve anything. He may even be suppressed by Tang Mo. In this case, I'm afraid he will not stop and will fight to the death.

Being released like this is the best choice. The two brothers each have their own place in the world and neither can get in the way of the other. Who is stronger and who is weaker will become clear in three years.

Tang Mo lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Is my father trying to separate me from you?"
