Chapter 326 326: Under the knife【Ask for a monthly ticket】
The attendant was shocked when he heard this.
He said: "Parents mean to agree to Shen Jun? If so, Wu Gong may not be able to explain it..."
As Xu Jie's personal attendant and right-hand man, he knows a lot of inside information, and he is also aware of the delicate relationship between his parents and Wu Xian, and between Xu and Wu.
The Wu family where Wu Xian belongs has several generations of prominent ancestors, and there have been many fierce men of the three princes and nine ministers. The change of country will not affect the prosperity of the Wu family. In Wu Xian's generation, there is no decline, and to some extent it has gone a step further.
And what about Wu Xian?
When he was young, this son had a reputation as a chivalrous man, devoted to righteousness and wealth, made many friends, and had a good temper.
Over time, enough prestige has been accumulated, and many friends are willing to follow Wu Xian's lead and do something big!
Xu Jie was born in the Tianhai Xu family.
What is Xu's most well-known strength?
Money, money, money!
Pile up gold and jade, rich and rich princes.
But in terms of ancestral achievements, fame, and foundation, they are not in the same order of magnitude as the Wu family, and there are not many descendants of the clan who can show them. Under Wu Xian's account, Xu Jie has always spent more money and effort but said little, and has maintained a neutral position all year round, which is somewhat affected by this shortcoming. Be kind to others, and don't take the initiative to make enemies.
The Squire is very aware of this.
He was worried that Wu Xian would be jealous of his parents doing so.
Seeing the attendant's worry written all over his face, Xu Jie laughed dumbly, and said, "Where do you want to go? It's not known what the relationship between the lord and Shen Jun is. Even if the two are really 'at odds', at the moment The situation has to be 'face-to-face'..."
Still the same sentence, Zheng Qiao is not dead yet.
It is not a good thing that the protagonist Wu Xian is too outstanding.
Shen Jun was able to clean up He Yin like this in a short period of time, which shows his ability. One more ally is better than one more enemy. From the perspective of outsiders, that is, Zheng Qiao, it is far more reassuring for these two people to be able to restrain each other than a single family.
There is a high probability that the lord and Shen Jun will not break up.
Not only will they not, they may even have close contacts.
Under this premise, Xu and Shen Jun have normal business dealings. Is there any problem?
and-
Xu Jie smiled lightly: "If this can be used to catch Shen Jun's lifeline and make him unknowingly rely on Tianhai, so as to slack off his own development and become a subordinate vassal in disguise. He Yin becomes a buffer zone between Tianhai and other forces, and can make the lord even more rest assured."
The attendant was dumbfounded.
"Really?"
Xu Jie Bo Liang sneered: "Why not?"
Merchants also have thunderous means of killing without blood.
And this is often ignored by the world.
Seeing that the parents had their own ideas, the attendant stopped talking immediately. As Xu Jie's bodyguard and right-hand man, his duty is to protect Xu Jie's life and carry out the orders given by his parents. Even if the order is for him to commit suicide!
Xu Jie said: "See you again tomorrow, Gu Wangchao."
According to his guess, Shen Jun should not end soon.
Xu Jie's speculation is very reasonable, but what he didn't expect is that Shen Tang is not an ordinary person, so naturally he cannot use the thinking of an ordinary person to speculate. It was half past noon on the second day when Xu Jie saw Gu Wangchao with blue eyes and a sleepy face.
Xu Jie was puzzled: "Did Wangchao encounter a difficult situation?"
You can still smell a little strange smell when you get closer.
Gu Chi's expression was indescribable. Seeing the sincere worry on Xu Jie's face, his cold heart finally warmed up. He remained silent for a while, and he sighed heavily after Xu Jie questioned him a lot. Xu Jie knew at a glance that Gu Chi was finally about to show his fox tail, so he heard Gu Chi sigh: "Isn't the lord..."
"What happened to Mr. Shen?"
Xu Jie asked very cooperatively.
Gu Chi complained to him that his lord was not a person when he rolled up inside, and vomited bitterly: "My lord, I don't know where I got the inspiration from at night, so I had to make some kind of kang... Didn't Qi Yuanliang find out about it in the morning? Isn't this guy It's clear and white, Lai Wu is innocent, my lord wants to play with mud, that's what I told you to do???"
He was wronged more than Dou E.
Xu·Musking·Solution: "..."
To tell the truth, he is ready to weigh his interests.
The result is this?
That's it?
Gu Chi's words sounded strange when put together, and even the attendant beside him was confused for a moment.
Shen Jun...
Playing with mud? ? ?
Xu Jie then asked, "What is the kang?"
Gu Chi said: "It's just a bedding, and a fire is burned under the bed to keep warm... My lord received news yesterday that twenty-three common people died of freezing to death in the severe cold, so my lord came up with this idea."
The attendant couldn't help but ask the shock in his heart for his parents: "Light a fire under the bed, is this going to cremate someone?"
Gu Chi: "..."
Xu Jie reprimanded pretendingly: "Excuse me!"
The attendant woke up, saluted and apologized.
Gu Chi hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Don't blame him, don't blame him, it's because Chi didn't make it clear. The earth kang mentioned by the lord is to build a high platform in the house, spread mats on the high platform, connect the chimney, and build an east kitchen stove. Lying on it can keep warm and keep out the cold..."
This is a good idea.
Xu Jie followed Gu Chi's description and constructed a rough outline of the kang in his mind, which seemed to be good. It's just that he has a problem. He needs a fire to heat the kang, and dry firewood and charcoal fire are needed to make a fire. Since the common people have these gadgets, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly use the brazier for heating? Furthermore, firewood and charcoal are also an expense.
Common people may not have this economic strength.
Xu solved these questions, Gu Chi also asked Shen Tang.
The answer is that charcoal is not safe for making fire.
Failure to maintain air circulation in the room can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning, and the toner may also cause a dust explosion.
Gu Chi doesn’t know what kind of poison carbon monoxide is now, but according to my lord, it should be hidden in charcoal fire. Once it burns and volatilizes in a relatively sealed environment, if it accumulates to a certain concentration, it will poison people to death?
Secondly, it is not necessary to use firewood for heating a kang.
Hay, straw, fallen leaves and even livestock manure are all acceptable.
Compared with some rich and powerful dandies, it is already cheap to arrange young and beautiful "warm beauties" to warm their hands with fragrant skin and use their chests to keep warm, or to arrange dozens of hundreds of women to take off their clothes and sit around to "warm" in winter. to almost nothing.
There was a little smile on Gu Chi's face: "If the kang can be built, it will be a good thing for the common people in the north."
Xu Jie listened carefully, nodding from time to time.
and said: "Let's not say that this method is quite innovative, even if it can't be done, at least Shen Jun's thought for the common people is commendable. Why would Mr. Qi call it 'playing with mud'?"
Playing with mud and playing with mud, can it be the same thing?
Gu Chi: "..."
I don't know how to answer for a while.
Answering truthfully will damage the image of my lord who is wise to the outside world.
Xu Jie was too sensible to ask any more questions.
He also had a better understanding of Shen Tang's "hard work". According to what Gu Chi said, Shen Tang came up with the idea of Tukang at night, and dragged him to the construction site to make gestures and passionate speeches in the cold wind. Because of this, the fundus of the eyes is black and blue.
Hearing Xu Jie's praise, Gu Chi's tongue was bitter.
There is still a way out for the introverts among the colleagues, but the lord takes the lead in introverts and there is no way out, not to mention him, even if the king of **** passes by the door, she will be caught by her, and she will work overtime overnight to recreate the book of life and death! ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, life is unfortunate!
Xu Jie probed further.
"Xie has some ideas about this kang, but there is still something missing. I don't know if it's convenient to go and have a look?"
Gu Chi said: "My lord and Wu Gong are friends of Tang and Di, so what's the inconvenience of a mere kang, please!"
Xu Jie: "..."
Guys, it's only been one night.
The relationship between the two protagonists has gone from place to place, and the temperature has risen in a straight line.
It has evolved to the level of "Tang Di's deep love"!
If Xu Jie didn't know that Gu Chi had another purpose, he might really be bewitched by Gu Chi's enthusiasm and be dazzled.
Shen Tang's mobility has always been off the charts.
She wanted to make an earthen kang, so she immediately called several craftsmen to discuss, and they simulated the construction on the spot while discussing.
It’s okay to make bad things, just start over.
Shen Tang was responsible for providing the general idea of the kang, functional division, scratching his head, digging out the only little memory, the remaining parts and the difficulties in construction technology, and discussing with the craftsmen to overcome them. When Xu Jie came over, he saw Shen Jun squatting on the ground without any image, forming a circle with a few dusty craftsmen, muttering about something.
"...The earth kang can't have such a big space, so how many things do you have to burn to heat it up? It's raised up... how to raise it up? Isn't there a lot of sand and mud outside? If it's not enough, we move gravel to fill it up... Tsk, what's more? Missing bricks..."
Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, Shen Tang turned his head.
showing a muddy face.
Xu Jie was almost unrecognizable, this boy who rolled back like mud was actually Shen Jun whom he met yesterday.
"Why did Wangchao come?"
Gu Chi pointed to Xu Jie and said, "It's Wen Zhu who heard about the idea of Tukang, and has some other ideas, so he came over to have a look."
Shen Tang and Gu Chi looked at Xu Jie together.
Xu Jie: "..."
Did he say that it was an excuse letter he just said casually?
Drive the ducks to the shelves, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
With a light cough, he also joined the discussion.
Of course, the Patriarch of the Xu family who is full of "nobility" will not squat down like Shen Tang and ruin his image.
After the discussion was over, the time passed by.
Xu Jie secretly observed the two Shen Tang and Shen Tang who had no different expressions, and couldn't help muttering in his heart-it's fine if Shen Jun doesn't say anything, why didn't Gu Wangchao mention the wine?
Didn’t mention it this day, and didn’t mention it the next day.
It seemed that Xu Jie was about to leave on the third day.
Still no news.
Xu Jie was ready to take the initiative.
Still using Zhao Fengdang as an excuse to introduce the topic.
Although Zhao Feng is a brave fighter with powerful force, he has been fighting all the year round and left many hidden injuries to his body.
During this period of time at Shen Tang's place, the old injury has not recurred, and after careful inspection, I found out that it was the credit of those fine wines!
Zhao Feng who works diligently to cultivate the land every day: "...???"
Shen · Introvert King · 007 Lover · Tang: "There are hidden wounds in righteousness? I was careless and negligent, and I didn't notice it."
Xu Jie: "Mr. Shen doesn't need to blame himself for this. A brave warrior will not easily let others know where his weaknesses are. It is very embarrassing to say that there are many children in the clan, guest officials under the family, and private tribes. All the brave fighters are suffering from illnesses. Xu is the head of the Xu family, so he should have the responsibility to help them. I wonder if the wine brewing recipe in Shen Jun's hand can be..."
Shen Tang refused before he finished speaking.
"Everything else is easy to talk about, but this is the only one that can't be discussed. This is the 'treasure' of the Shen family for generations, and I want to pass it on to future generations. Although it doesn't hurt to sell Ye Tian, I'm afraid that I will do this. A hundred years later, you will be surrounded and beaten by your ancestors."
There is no room for negotiation with Shen Tang's words.
Xu Jie also knew the result and was not disappointed.
After all, fools sell recipes for brewing wine.
One hammer sale can only earn once.
If wine is made and then sold, the income can flow steadily.
Xu Jie smiled, and then apologized: "Xie also knows that this request is rude, and I hope Shen Jun will not blame him. However, as the head of the Xu family, he still has to work hard for this—I don't know how many such spirits Shen Jun still has in his hands." liquor?"
Without waiting for Shen Tang to answer the number, he directly declared the possibility that Shen Tang might ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot.
Shen Tang can supply a limited amount to Fugu Department Store every day. Even ordinary people can exchange it as long as they have wine sticks in their hands. This shows that there will never be a shortage of stocks. Even if it's almost sold out, can't it be brewed again?
"Wen Zhu means you want to eat them all?"
Shen Tang was already thinking about where to cut the knife.
Xu Jie said: "Not really."
What's the use of clearing all the warehouses at once?
In case Shen Tang made a move to "turn his face and be ruthless", he swept away all the goods with his front feet, and Shen Tang stabbed them in the back of his feet and resold them at a low price. So much goods would be in his own hands.
Xu Jie is a cautious person.
He is going to ask for one or two hundred altars first.
If Tianhai can successfully open the way, then sign a long-term cooperation contract with Shen Tang, and it will be sold as an intermediary agent, and he will not take the risk of hoarding goods. He just helped Shen Tang sell the goods and make a profit from it.
Such as labor, transportation, commission.
Swallow in one gulp?
He is not stupid.
Shen Tang had no objection to this.
"Wenzhu has such sincerity, so I naturally have no need to object. But, as you have seen, there is nothing you want in Heyin, what are you going to use to settle the bill with me?" Shen Tang frowned in worry, and said with a wry smile, "If it's silver money, to be honest, it's not very useful. What's most lacking now are goods and small coins like copper coins that can be circulated among the common people... It's not afraid of a joke in the text. I don't even have the money needed for spring farming next year." Seedlings and farming tools are lacking, so…”
Xu Jie listened carefully on his face, but was slightly startled in his heart.
He didn't expect that Shen Tang would tell the real purpose directly, and he didn't mean to play tricks with him. He was so sincere that people couldn't bear to refuse. But Xu Jie is a rational and literary scholar.
"Sowlings and farm tools...I'm afraid I need to ask my lord for instructions. Xie alone can make the decisions."
No matter how good the relationship between the two is, they are not one family.
Xu Jie deliberately exaggerated the situation, leaving enough room for negotiation.

Ah, I still haven't had enough time for the missing thousand words.
Definitely tomorrow, I will make up two thousand
