[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

The days of waiting are the most difficult, but I can't show the appearance of suffering.Hand in all the things you have prepared, and you will be able to contact those who can say good things without a trace. The rest is just the emperor's decision.Now, Xue Xun wanted to behave respectfully and modestly, as if agreeing with all the emperor's decisions.

Xue Xun is recuperating in the mansion every day, cursing this fucking world in his heart, entrusting his life and future in the hands of others, this feeling...

If there is no accident, this His Majesty is the emperor in the original book. He has always been tolerant towards the honorables. ah.Xue Xun thought so, he didn't dare to make small moves, he could only comfort himself in his heart.

The best situation now is for the emperor to prevent the prince from acting recklessly and let Xue Xun continue to be in charge of the Department of General Affairs; the second point is to let the Xue family continue to be tied to the sinking ship of the prince; , to compensate for a virtual bit.The commander of the General Administration Department is already a third-rank official, so he must be replaced by a third-rank Sanyi doctor.

Facts have proved that there is no worst, only worse.

"Qing is tired all the way, and I can see it. Xue Qing's new funeral, you mourned too much, and you happened to be filial and recuperate. The Xue family has been loyal and good for generations, and I have seen it. Don't worry, I will wait for you to be filial. Commander General I will reserve the position for you." The emperor said softly, but the implication was very vicious, meaning that he didn't have to do it anymore, what did he mean by telling him to pack up and get out?

"Your Majesty, the Xue family was originally a merchant, and the value of the goods is the main job, but the Secretary of the General Administration is not good at it. He is not capable enough to support him until now, which pales in comparison. Please also express your majesty's successor, so that the ministers can make a handover. Secretary of the General Administration I have my own property under my name, and it has always been mixed with Xue's shop. Fortunately, since His Majesty the Taizu established the General Secretary, the accounts of the two parties have been clear. I didn't prepare in advance, so I sorted out the accounts and handed them over immediately after returning."

"En." The emperor nodded, even the emperor who has the attribute of being right about everything is quite embarrassed at this time. For the sake of his own son's incompetence, he insisted on dragging the right courtiers as backs. After all, he failed the loyalty of the Xue family. Looking at the prince standing aside, the emperor became cruel again. Compared with the crown prince and future emperor of a country, the Xue family is nothing.

Xue Xun bowed to pay respects as a farewell. Only by resting his forehead on the cold gold bricks of the main hall can Xue Xun calm down and not make any gaffes.

Xue Xun bowed to leave, and the emperor signaled the prince to go out to comfort him.

Xue Xun followed the prince to the outside of the hall. The prince raised a hypocritical smile and pretended to say: "Xue Qing, ah, no, it's Xue Xun. You should go back and hurry up, and make it clear within a month. I misremembered something on the Xue family's head."

Looking at the prince's bright smiling face, Xue Xun really wanted to smear his face with blood, but who made the situation stronger than others, Xue Xun swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and said: "I would like to follow His Highness's order."

Xue Xun turned into the dark part of the palace, took off his third-rank official uniform, changed into commoner clothes, and slowly walked out of the imperial city.

For three generations and a hundred years, did the emperor think that they could split the General Secretary by mixing sand in it?Do you really regard the Xue family as a soft persimmon for mermaids? Do you really think that the century-old rich man of the Xue family is the emperor's favor?If there is no one in twos or threes who dare not go to Liangshan, since the emperor and the prince are unkind, then don't blame yourself for being unrighteous.

Xue Xun gave the Tongzheng Secretary the last order to separate the property of the Tongzheng Secretary and the Xue family.These years, the General Secretary has been under the name of the Xue family and has been raised by the Xue family. Now that the court wants to take it back, don't blame the Xue family for letting go.

All the deeds had already been filed at the time of the founding of the country, and there was a handwriting on it. This is the "eternal career" rewarded to the Xue family, and it has been filed with the government.Those who couldn't tell whether the Xue family belonged to the Secretary of General Administration, Xue Xun made the decision and suffered a disadvantage, and directly handed it over to the Secretary of General Administration.In order to avoid suspicion and not to spy on the secrets of the court, the Xue family will not do business in those places where there are places, and will not get involved in these.

The emperor still wanted face, so he didn't dare to seize the property of the Xue family.

The imperial court couldn't take advantage of the Xue family's money, so it could only spin off the General Secretary. This process was completed in less than ten days.Thanks to the ancestors of the Xue family for their foresight. Even though the Taizu rewarded the Tongzhengsi to the Xue family as their own land, the ancestors still insisted on separating the Xue family from the Tongzhengsi. Maybe they wanted to stand in the foreground one day, but now they have become The opportunity for Xue Xun to ask the royal family to suck blood.

Xue Xun wrote down the things that had been sorted out, and Xue's family suffered losses, and wrote the notes clearly, and handed them over to the new commander of the General Administration Department.The emperor vented his anger for the prince, but he would not be wary of the prince. The new commander was not the candidate nominated by the prince. Even though the prince repeatedly emphasized that the Xue family had been in the Department of General Administration for a long time, the deputy commanders were all members of the Xue family. The emperor still did not adopt the prince. He insisted on promoting the original deputy commander, Chen Munan, to become the commander.

Even though Xue Xun clearly wrote about the losses suffered by the Xue family, the emperor still turned a blind eye to it. How could a good decision be changed overnight?

Xue Xun sneered when he heard the news. Sure enough, he couldn't place all his hopes on the emperor's conscience. Didn't he dare to insult the Xue family like this because he thought the Xue family had no capital to resist?

snort!It's time for him to experience the power of merchants.

Xue Xun informed his subordinates to transport all the money that had been used as working capital earlier to his second brother Xue Yue through the seaport. The entire southern commercial market, Xue's family tightened up and withdrew from the market by a large margin, causing a huge shock.The world would not have to eat hairy pigs without Butcher Xue, and a large number of businessmen would naturally flock into the remaining huge market.In the past, the Xue family had a semi-official background as Zhenshan Taisui, but now it really operates according to the laws of the market. The profit-seeking nature of capital has merged a large number of land, vacating the surplus labor force, and becoming a vassal of merchants.Local officials colluded with government and businessmen, and within five years, Xue Xun would let the emperor see what it means to be "the rich are connected to the fields, and the poor have no place to stand."

As for the Xue family, they have already found a way out. The Central Plains is the base camp of the Xue family. They are not afraid that Xue Yue will become king on his own. Besides, there are subordinates sent by Xue Xun.

Of course, this is all for later. Now Xue Xun is just standing in the yard, looking up at the sky in late autumn.

When others get angry or depressed, they want to vent. They must smash the decorations all over the house, or beat up the servants, or go hunting to vent. These are not suitable for Xue Xun. Now that he is still under the emperor's surveillance, it is natural to do enough. A gesture of humility and deference.

There was no need to do anything, just looking at the bright moon was enough to make Xue Xun vent.People today don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month once shone on the ancients, and the moonlight shone coldly on Xue Xun. Xue Xun knew in his heart that he was not an "ancient man" who had to die.

"Master, all the posts sent to Wang Family, Jia Family, Historian, Xiu Guogong Mansion, Shan Guo Gong Mansion, etc. have responded to the eight gongs, and we have made an appointment for a visit." The Golden Beast interrupted Xue Xun's meditation.

"Oh? They all returned. Don't they know about the loss of the Xue family's position as the Secretary of General Affairs? They didn't make trouble?" Xue Xun was surprised. After being baptized by the emperor, he didn't think that these former allies were cuties. up.

"Returning to the master, I can't see it for the time being. When I came to deliver the post, my attitude was the same as usual, and I didn't show respect."

"Then let's have a look again." Xue Xun murmured.

Early the next morning, Xue Xun went to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law with gifts prepared by Mrs. Xue.

The Wang family treated him as usual. The two uncles Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng stood at the door to greet him, and welcomed his brother-in-law in with a proper attitude.Because Mr. Wang was ill in bed, Xue Xun kissed his mother-in-law when he was in the main hall.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his mother-in-law." Xue Xun solemnly bowed to him.

"Get up, get up, we are all one family, so there is no need to be polite." Mrs. Wang called Xue Xun, and said with a smile on her face, "I heard that the second girl is happy, she is really Amitabha. Xiang, bless you to bloom branches and leaves as soon as possible, and the house will be full of children and grandchildren."

"Thank you mother-in-law for thinking about it. A Su often tells me about the past in the boudoir. She also misses her mother-in-law very much."

"Yes, yes, you are all filial children." Mrs. Wang curled her lips indiscriminately. She had never used the title "A Su" in the past, but today she came to get closer. That's just a concubine, is it useful to play the emotional card with yourself?

"It's because the father-in-law and mother-in-law are well-educated." Xue Xun complimented, "I brought some Jinling specialties to my mother-in-law when I came to Beijing this time. They are not good things, but a bit wild, so Mrs. Bo's mother-in-law just laughed."

"It's not easy for you children to go out, so why don't you bring gifts, don't do this next time. We are all a family, who will choose your gifts?" Mrs. Wang replied with a smile.

"Mother is wrong. My brother-in-law's shops are all over the world, and there are countless shops. These things are just a drop in the bucket. My brother-in-law respects you and your elders, so you can keep them." Wang Zisheng said, shaking his fan in the cold.

Wang Ziteng glanced at the eldest brother, only to feel that he was not opening which pot he was lifting which pot, and sprinkled salt on other people's wounds. Looking at Xue Xun's calm and smiling face, he deeply felt that he had not cultivated enough.

"Brother-in-law said that the mother-in-law will keep it at ease. A Su also brought you some needlework made by herself. No matter how delicate the outside things are, they are not as good as those made by myself."

"This girl who doesn't know how important she is, she doesn't dare to work with her when she is pregnant. The son-in-law should talk to her carefully when he goes back. It is taboo to use needles and threads during pregnancy. You young people have no experience. I will make a note later. list for you."

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for your concern." If you really cared, wouldn't the Wang family not be able to send a few experienced nuns?Xue Xun breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the cold reception, which is normal.If everyone in the world is a sage, then his petty actions are really a villain in vain.

They didn't say a few words, and the servants came to report that Mr. Wang invited Xue Xun to talk in the room. Xue Xun stood up and left, and went to visit his father-in-law with his two uncles.

As soon as he left, the nurse next to Mrs. Wang came over with a gift list and asked, "Ma'am, this is a gift list from the Xue family."

"Well," Mrs. Wang glanced at it, and said: "It's okay, put it in the warehouse, and the gift prepared earlier will be reduced by [-]% in return."

"Ma'am, the return gift was originally thin, and if you reduce it, isn't it..." She just got into trouble when she had an accident, isn't her appearance too ugly?

"What is it? The Xue family has offended His Highness the Crown Prince. The future emperor has already burnt incense without implicating our Wang family. If we don't make a statement, we still have to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to kill us." Mrs. Wang scolded.

"Where is the master?"

"Master told me the same thing last night. It's not a mistake to be cautious. Besides, whenever Master has been in charge of returning gifts and communication, just do as I say." Mrs. Wang insisted.

The confidants step down with peace of mind. As slaves, they can make suggestions and share the master's worries, but after the master makes a decision, all they can do is follow the rules.

Unfortunately, Xue Xun is not a slave.
