The Founding of the Red Chamber

Due to the mission of Jinzhou City, Tu Xiaosan could not stay in Hanzhou City for a long time.Lin Jing was very reluctant, and said, "Third brother will leave in a few days, we brothers, I don't know when we can get together again."

Tu Xiaosan was also very reluctant to part with Lin Jing, and told Lin Jing quite a bit, that meticulousness was more verbose than the nuns who took care of Lin Jing from childhood to adulthood.Even when it comes to putting more quilts at night, Tu Xiaosan mentioned this mainly because Lin Jing slept with Tu Xiaosan in the cottage in the past.But at that time, there were few houses in the cottage, and there were no single rooms, so Lin Jing lived in Tu Xiaosan's luxury room.Now that Lin Jing is king and hegemony in Hanzhou City, there are plenty of houses, so Lin Jing still lets Tu Xiaosan sleep with him, and the explanation to Tu Xiaosan is, "Good friends in ancient times shared the same bed. "The actual reason, don't look at Lin Jing's stubborn mouth and pull out the ancients, Tu Xiaosan knew in his heart that Lin Jing was born afraid of the cold.Hanzhou City is a place where it is warmer in summer and it starts to snow in autumn.Speaking of which, Lin Jing's body and bones should not live in a place like Hanzhou City.It's useless to say these things now, but Tu Xiaosan is physically strong, isn't he the kind of big and healthy, but he also has long hands and feet, well-proportioned texture, especially when he sleeps at night, like a stove.Lin Jing was very willing to sleep with Tu Xiaosan on the same bed, Tu Xiaosan always felt sorry for Brother Ah Jing, only hated that he couldn't help himself, otherwise the two brothers were together, and he could no longer make Brother Ah Jing suffer from the severe cold.

Tu Xiaosan thought about it very nasty, and said goodbye to Lin Jing, and went back to Jinzhou City.

Before Tu Xiaosan left, Lin Jing told Tu Xiaosan everything about Xie Dujun in detail.Although Lin Jing has been away from the imperial capital for several years, he has always paid attention to collecting information in this Hanzhou City, and he has already figured out the details of the Xiedu Army in the adjacent Jinzhou City.Some things, Tu Xiaosan, a close subordinate of Xie Dujun, might not know as much as Lin Jing.

Tu Xiaosan was both happy and fortunate, and he was happy that Brother Ah Jing was planning for him like this.Fortunately, he came over to discuss it with Brother Ah Jing, otherwise, with his resourcefulness, he might really fall into the hands of Xie Dujun.

Fortunately, Tu Xiaosan is a meticulous person. In the past two years, his rise is unbelievably fast in the eyes of others.However, with such a promotion speed, Tu Xiaosan has no arrogance, acts low-key and considerate, and treats others generously. Don't look at Tu Xiaosan's frugal life, but he is not stingy at all when dealing with outsiders. Whoever has difficulties needs help? Yes, Tu Xiaosan is simply timely rain.

Now, Tu Xiaosan's private salt business is actually following Xie Dujun's line.However, at the beginning, Tu Xiao San Guan was a small and low-ranking official, and it was through Xie Dujun's subordinates that he made his way through the doorway, and then began to smuggle salt.As the business gradually expanded, the apprentice Xiaosan came into Xie Dujun's eyes, and he was promoted and made a fortune, so he was greatly valued by Xie Dujun.Only then did I climb up slowly.

Therefore, Tu Xiaosan has quite a bit of communication of his own.

Now that he has returned to Jinzhou City, he is mainly thinking that not only will his subordinates need to recruit more manpower, but also this personal relationship, he will have to put more effort into it.

When Tu Xiaosan returned to Jinzhou City, the first step was to recruit people to imitate.He just wanted to recruit some more people to expand the business.However, this time, Tu Xiaosan was more considerate, and he bought five thousand mu of land with money.Tu Xiaosan didn't hide this matter from anyone, he said, "It's not just for me, life is going well now, and when the brothers settle down in the future, they can also have a long-term income."

Nowadays, it is common for people to buy land. What people have money to do is to buy a house and land to make a permanent foundation.

As for being an official and doing business, well, it’s a good thing for the children in the family to be able to be an official and do business to earn money, but we have to be prepared that if the qualifications of the descendants are ordinary, then, with these fields, at least they won’t be able to suffer from hunger .Therefore, real estate has always been regarded as a permanent inheritance that can be passed on to future generations.

As soon as Tu Xiaosan set up a field, Xie Dujun asked another question, and Tu Xiaosan said, "In the past few years, it was all thanks to the support of the Dujun, and my subordinates have accumulated some property. The subordinates didn't know what to buy. Later, I thought about it." I thought, my brothers’ money is also collected by me, and I simply bought some fields. In the future, when they get married, each of them will share a few acres, and they will also have some income, so they bought a piece of land in Laohei Village in the north. Don’t say it, Zhu Uncle introduced my Zhuangzi, the land is fertile and cheap. This kind of fertile land costs four or two acres in other places, but Laohei Village only needs three or two acres, but it saved me a lot of money."

Xie Dujun said vaguely, "Success, do it well, you are caring, and live a good life."

After Tu Xiaosan left, Xie Dujun turned his head and said to his wife, "My brother-in-law is getting worse and worse. He sold the land of Laohei Village to Saner. Yes. Brother-in-law, isn’t this Keng San’er?”

When Mrs. Zhu heard what her younger brother did, she was angry at first, and then said, "This business is yours, I'm willing, isn't General Guangde trying to take advantage of it?"

Xie Dujun said, "That's why I don't know about it. If San'er finds out, I won't be angry."

Mrs. Zhu's figure is slightly plump, so, in this late spring season, she used the round fan. Hearing this, she held the round fan in her hand, glanced at her husband with almond eyes, shook it twice quickly, and said, "Don't you still say , this General Guangde has been too powerful in recent years, do you want to suppress him? Isn’t this a ready-made opportunity.”

Xie Dujun said, "Suppression is to be suppressed, but this is not the same thing as blackmail."

"Why are these two different things?" Mrs. Zhu said, "No matter how effective a subordinate is, he is a subordinate after all. As a subordinate, there is no one who is not wronged. If you are wronged by Xingdian, you will feel resentful. Subordinate, I advise you to use it with caution. After all, we are employing people, not looking for ancestors for our own stature. According to me, I just take this opportunity to try this General Guangde!"

After all, they are the original couple. Although Xie Dujun has quite a few pets, he will seriously consider his wife's words. This is actually in his heart. Xie Dujun said, "Just this time, brother-in-law, what do you say?" As soon as you talk about him, he is short of money, you just give it. But such things are rarely done.”

Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I know." She waved her fan, "Okay, don't stand in my way here, and go to Qiuhong's place to have a look, today is her birthday, that little girl, it's several days in advance Just looking forward to it."

A sneer appeared on Xie Dujun's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Success, success, obey." He smiled and went to the pet room.

Mrs. Zhu ordered her brother to be called, and she reprimanded her in private.

That's it for now.

A person like Tu Xiaosan, who can go from a hundred households to a fifth rank in two years, doesn't he know what kind of land his brother-in-law surnamed Zhu sold him?But do the unknown.

What Tu Xiaosan wants is such an uneven land.

However, he still complained to Liu Shoubei, who introduced him to his brother-in-law Zhu, "That field is quite small, um..."

Liu Shoubei saw that Tu Xiaosan was gloomy, and opened the wine with his neck up, and immediately filled the pot with Tu Xiaosan, and asked, "What's the matter, third brother."

Tu Xiaosan shook his head, "It's nothing." But he refused to say any more.

On the other hand, Liu Shoubei came to make amends two days later with generous gifts. Liu Shoubei bowed deeply, apologetic, "I, I heard earlier that Mr. Zhu had a property to sell, but I didn't know it was from Laohei Village. .Hey, hey, third brother, it's because the older brother is confused, which hurt the third brother."

Tu Xiaosan quickly helped Liu Shoubei up with both hands, and said, "Brother Liu's words are off the mark. This, this, this is fine, anyway, the field is quite fat. Even if there are bandits, the generals appointed by the imperial court are afraid of bandits." No. When Jieshi, I beat the bandits away, isn’t that land mine.”

Liu Shoubei shook his head and sighed, "This is the third brother. You have a big heart. You don't mean to be angry with your brother because of this matter. It's just that I don't feel sorry for it. I want to know that Mr. Zhu owns the land of Laohei Village. , I can no longer mention your purchase of land to him."

Tu Xiaosan was quite reasonable, and said sincerely, "How can you blame my brother for this matter, Mr. Zhu is Du Jun's brother-in-law after all, I just want to take advantage of Du Jun, so I won't mention this matter again."

Liu Shoubei sighed, "The capital army is good at everything, but it's too indulgent to the servants."

Tu Xiaosan also sighed, "If it's my younger brother, maybe it's easy to manage. This brother-in-law will naturally have to look at Madam's face."

Tu Xiaosan got the field for himself, but if he didn't want to spend money in vain, he had to reel the bandits first.

However, there is no rush for reeling bandits, now is the time to farm.Tu Xiaosan went to Zhuangzi to have a look. The fields were of the highest quality, and the tenants there lived peacefully.Because, this bandit has a certain vision of sustainable productivity. It’s not that the bandits go down the mountain to rob people into extinct households. The bandits give each family a ration, and the food is delivered according to the amount in summer and autumn. I will not come to rob.

The tenants are also used to it, but the tenants have to live if they pay the bandits like this, and the main family will naturally receive less food.

Tu Xiaosan’s first reeling bandit came to him after the summer harvest to collect grain, and the government was not so tyrannical, because Tu Xiaosan is now an official, and many of the land under his name can be exempted from tax.Once the bandits collected the grain, Tu Xiaosan told Xie Dujun about the bandit reeling. Xie Dujun didn't understand the tricks of the field, Tu Xiaosan was going, and Xie Dujun let him go.

In the end, Tu Xiaosan said he was undefeated, but his face was not very good when he returned to the city.

Afterwards, Tu Xiaosan went out of the city three times in a row, and then came back to set up a tomb for Fa Cai You Fu. When the bandits were reeling, the Jia brothers were desperate and heroic.

Tu Xiaosi cried terribly, many people who had good friends with these two brothers came over to offer their condolences.Tu Xiaosan's eyes were also bloodshot, and he cursed and vowed to avenge the Jia brothers.However, the three times he reeled the bandits, he lost a lot of soldiers and generals, and he reeled the bandits again, and there was no one in his hands.Let's borrow it from Xie Dujun, Xie Dujun said with concern, "San'er, you have injuries on your body, you should take care of it first, and then recruit some more people." Find ways to earn money.

Tu Xiaosan was still ill for a few days, and after recovering, he started recruiting staff again.

In the past, Tu Xiaosan always followed the Jia family brothers, but now that the Jia family brothers are gone, some people will inevitably miss Tu Xiaosan when they see Tu Xiaosan.Some said in private, "Listen to this name, you are blessed to make a fortune, the name is quite blessed, but the surname is Jia, isn't it the end of it?"

Originally, Xie Dujun treated Tu Xiaosan a little coldly, but in the end, Tu Xiaosan's loss of troops would be bad luck, and Xie Dujun used him again.After staying for another year, Tu Xiaosan finished attending the meeting of the military mansion, and when they went out together, Liu Shoubei touched his hand, and then walked away as if nothing had happened.There was an extra note in Tu Xiaosan's hand, and Tu Xiaosan quietly opened it when he got home. There were six words on it: Laohei Village, Du Junzhi.

Tu Xiaosan's heart sank suddenly.
