[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

In the evening, he didn't see Wu Kong when he returned home, so Tang Xuanzang simply packed a few special dishes prepared by the cook at home, and went directly to Wu's house for dinner.

Wu Yun and Jiang Su extended a warm welcome to Tang Xuanzang, the son-in-law, and Tang Xuanzang also brought good news to them——

His Majesty Li Er wants to set up a Datang National Publishing Bureau under the Hongwen Museum. Because there was no such department in the previous dynasty, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and created a new position called Du Shulang. There are three Shao Shulangs and seven young prisoners.I don’t know if Tang Xuanzang said something in the middle. His Majesty Li Er actually asked Wu Yun to be the governor. Moreover, the special thing about this newly established department is that although it is hung under the Hongwen Hall, it directly Responsible to His Royal Highness.

In other words, His Majesty Li Er not only wanted to take this opportunity to make his name in history, but also wanted His Royal Highness to be honored with him. However, Li Tai, the king of Wei who was favored by His Majesty Li Er in his previous life, was not allowed to participate at all this time. The new department is in operation.

"But your mother is pregnant with twins. If I take office at this time, your mother will kiss him..." Wu Yun has no interest in being an official, and he hopes to accompany Jiang Su through the most difficult period of pregnancy in October .

"Father-in-law, don't worry. The establishment of the National Press is not a matter of one day. Besides, there are many Confucian masters in the imperial court. Father-in-law, the governor of the book, can't sit still. I'm afraid there will be quarrels." Tang Xuanzang smiled and shook his head.

"Then don't do it. I don't think the governor's monthly salary is high, and our family is not short of money." Wu Kong pouted.

"Even if the sage doesn't want it, the father-in-law shouldn't refuse it." Tang Xuanzang took a sip of the Wu family's special health-preserving herbal tea, and said slowly, "This is the grade of the fourth grade. Ordinary low-level officials, I am afraid that they will not be able to use it in their entire lives. If you can't get to this position, it's best for your father-in-law to get it, and even if you can't, His Majesty will feel guilty. If you can get some paper and ink business from the publishing house, which is stable and long-term, wouldn't it be a waste of money? "

When Elder Tang started his business, he was no worse than Boss Wu.Moreover, they specialize in large orders for government procurement. Once the order is settled, if you are lucky, three generations will have no worries about food and drink. It is really a good hand in business.

"Then let them quarrel. If the sage wins the quarrel, I will become an official. If the courtiers win the quarrel, the sage will definitely compensate." Wu Yun looked at Tang Xuanzang and couldn't help showing a hint of appreciation, "Say It’s to compensate me, I’m afraid it’s you who came up with this idea, right? It’s just that the saint wants you to be by his side for consultation, and he can’t let you go for a while, so he can only wrong you to be a member of Zhongshushe. People took it."

It can only be said that Tang Xuanzang suffered a loss because he had no heirs, otherwise, with such a great contribution, at least he could change his son's job.

"We're all in the same family. Why are we talking about cheap or not? Besides, Wu Hong and I have special identities, so we can't stay in Chang'an City for too long, at least a few years, at most more than ten years, I'm afraid we have to think about it." If the father-in-law and mother-in-law can't go with us at that time, it will be good for the Wu family if the father-in-law can have a position in the court."

"Why can't you stay in Chang'an City for too long?" Jiang Su couldn't help but squeezed her palms tightly.

Could it be that the son has become the Monkey King, what other hidden missions can't be accomplished?

"It's not a big deal. My mother-in-law also knows that Wu Kong and I are extraordinary mortals. Wu Kong is now in the body of a monster monkey. I have also eaten the flat peaches from the Queen Mother and drank the poplar nectar from Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although I don't know The life extension is a little bit, but if the appearance has not changed for more than ten years, others may become suspicious." Tang Xuanzang said with a smile.

"Going back to Chang'an City was also my obsession. I always thought that since I went out for a trip, I was lucky enough to return safely, and I must do something for the people of Dongtu. However, although I am willing to serve the country with all my heart , but absolutely unwilling to gamble Wu Kong’s wealth and life in order to serve the country. I also ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to be considerate, at most ten years, Wu Kong and I will definitely stay away from Chang’an City and avoid the eyes and ears of the court.”

"So, you helped me get promoted over and over again, just to prevent this day? You child..." Wu Yun gave Elder Tang a disapproving look, "Is there a mountain of gold or silver in this Chang'an city? It is worthy of me. And your mother-in-law don't even want their own children for these Xu family wealth?"

"That's right! If you have to leave Chang'an City, your father-in-law and I will naturally leave together. To be honest, I have long wanted to visit the Western Regions. In the past, I could only read a few sporadic stories about the countries of the Western Regions in the history books. Your father-in-law and I would be so happy if we could see with our own eyes the places where the culture of the Western Regions was bred." Jiang Su had already lost his son once, how could he be separated from him again?This place doesn't even have a personal terminal. To put it bluntly, if Wu Hong encounters any danger outside, I'm afraid she won't even have the chance to say the last word to her parents. How dare she let him leave alone?

"Let me just say, father and mother won't let us leave alone. I think you are thinking too much. Let's live in Chang'an City for a few years first. When you have done almost everything, when the time comes Just find an excuse, just say that you want to travel outside, and our family will travel around with us, anyway, our family has a lot of money." Boss Wu said generously.

Tang Xuanzang stared at him speechlessly for a while, and had to admit that sometimes it was a person like Wu Kong who thought less, who could see through the world better.

"Then listen to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. After I hand over all the things I brought back from the Western Regions, our family will travel the rivers and lakes and live a carefree life." To live a new life, Tang Xuanzang did not want to be like the old Buddha in his previous life. It is better to learn from the free and unfettered immortals in the mountains and indulge in the mountains and rivers without restraint.

Because Jiang Xi was pregnant, the family didn't chat for too long. Seeing that the curfew time had come, Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong simply stayed at Wu's house. Lu Weng took the opportunity to take some account books and stuff them into his room. Wu Kong felt dizzy for a while.

"Isn't your aunt always talking about the difficulty of making a living at home? I think I still have a few business transactions in my family that are quite profitable, but they are a bit cumbersome. Why don't I give these transactions to my aunt tomorrow? Auntie lives in the house and has nothing to do. Find something for her to pass the time." Boss Wu rolled his eyes and thought of the Yin family's aunt.

"You~ Forget it, it's good to find something for my aunt to do, so that she won't be idle all day long and make grandma uncomfortable." Tang Xuanzang shook his head with a smile, although he knew that with his grandmother's toughness, it was impossible to be Such a pair of son and daughter-in-law who are not related by blood are under control, but living under the same roof, it is also annoying to fight all day long. After all, the grandmother is old, it is better to be clean.

So, the next day, Wu Hao talked to his parents and counted all the low-profit, lost and regrettable tasteless industries in the Wu family's hands.

Although the Wu family has only been in Chang'an for a few years, they have developed many industries. There are high-profit jewelry, clothing, cosmetics, spices, and catering industries, and there are also industries that do not make much money and are only used to support people, such as textiles. , Sericulture, breeding, etc., Wu Hao searched and picked out two villages that raised chickens and geese, a workshop that weaved cotton cloth, and a few grocery stores, and planned to use them to find something for the Yin family to do. Well, of course it would be nice to earn some money without any effort. Take ten thousand steps back and say, if you lose money, you can take it back to do other things at that time. Aunt Yin's family has lost such a big face, and she dares to treat him and Elder Tang in the future Are things pointing fingers?

Wu Hao wasn't worried at all that the Yin family's aunt would reject this cooperation. To her, it was almost a no-cost business. Zhuangzi, workshops, manpower and even sales were all arranged by the Wu family long ago. What is lacking now is just a Professional managers who can patiently take care of these trivial matters, and the remuneration paid by Wu Hong is not low. After all the miscellaneous calculations, as long as they strictly follow the current rules of the Wu family, they will get three to four thousand taels of net profit a year.

Don't underestimate the three or 4000 taels of silver. At this time, in Datang, the purchasing power of silver is still very strong. Ordinary people can live very well with two taels of silver a month. Even the Yin family has left like this. The living expenses of a wealthy family on the downhill road are only a few tens of taels a month. Three to four thousand taels of silver are equivalent to the Yin family's entire land and a year's harvest.

Sure enough, I heard that Wu Hao was "too busy to take care of the pregnant mother", so he could only find someone to take care of the family business. The Wu family had no relatives, so he could only come to trouble her. He narrowed his eyes.

She doesn't think it's a burden, just like what Wu Hong said, it's a worthless business anyway, and if she loses it, it's not her own money. If she manages it carefully, the money she earns can be distributed to her. Just give her money.

"So, I will trouble my aunt. Tomorrow, I will personally pick up my aunt to visit the shop and workshop, and let all the managers come to see my aunt. From now on, I will work hard on my aunt. According to the rules of our family, there is a monthly payment everywhere." The balance is settled in the first ten days of each month, and the surplus is divided into monthly settlements. Although my aunt is from my own family, I still have to give the monthly money. I wonder if 20 taels of silver a month can be paid?"

"You also said that we are all from our own family, and 20 taels is 20 taels. Could it be that my aunt is still arguing with you about the monthly money?" When she heard that there was still a monthly money, Aunt Yin's eyebrows immediately beamed, no matter how small the mosquito's legs were. It's also meat, 20 taels per month, and you can save two to three hundred taels a year, which is enough to buy ten acres of fertile land outside the city.

After seeing off Wu Kong, the God of Wealth, Aunt Yin happily flipped through the ledger, and after a while, the maid beside her came in to announce that Aunt Yin's niece had come.

"Tell her to come in, wait!" Aunt Yin rolled her eyes, lay back holding the account book again, and waved her hand slowly to the maid, "Go and find two pairs of pearl flowers for her in my red box, and then give them to her." Take her to play in the garden for a while, and say that I am unwell and not fit to see guests."

Aunt Yin, the niece of her natal family, was born in the concubine's room of her natal cousin. She has a rather charming appearance. Hearing that Tang Xuanzang married a young man, and seeing that the Chen family was about to die out, she moved her mind and wanted to pass through the aunt of the Yin family. It doesn't matter, even if it's just carried into the Tang family to be a child, if she lives up to her expectations and gives birth to a son, then what if Wu Hong has a wealth of ten thousand?Isn't it all her son's in the end?

Recently, this niece whose boudoir name was changed to Zhenniang ran to her diligently, and her mouth was also very sweet.

However, what a realistic woman the Yin family's aunt is, it's not enough to be able to coax people with a sweet mouth.In the past, the Yin family's aunt might have thought that she would put her niece next to Tang Xuanzang, in case the niece got rich in the future, maybe she could get some benefits.But, it's different now, Wu Kong has put all the real benefits into her hands, and it's not once or twice, once it's done, it will be a stable and long-term benefit.

On one side is the niece who only made verbal promises and may not succeed in taking the position; Falling to Boss Wu.

Anyway, there are many girls in their family, if one day Wu Hong's side can't do her any favors, then another niece will continue Tang Xuanzang's bloodline.

Boss Wu probably never expected that he just had a whim, and wanted to find someone to do the hard work for him, and he accidentally solved a "rival in love" for himself... Tang Xuanzang vaguely knew what the Yin family's aunt was thinking. Running to Yin's house every day, how could the eyeliner Tang Xuanzang placed in the back house not report?

He didn't care, mainly because it wasn't necessary.

Does the man cheat on the mistress?

The mistress is certainly hateful, but if a man is indifferent, or if he is loyal to his wife, can the mistress take advantage of the loophole?

Tang Xuanzang felt that with his current state of mind, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Boss Wu could live in the same room with him without caring.
