Good morning Daming

Chapter 983 Xu Jie Admits Defeat
In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Qingzhi would be overjoyed if Xu Fan lowered his head.

Huang Lin now considered himself a lackey of the Jiang family. As a lackey, he naturally had to share the worries of his master. So today, he invited a few familiar strongmen to drink.

A powerful man held a wine glass and said with a playful tone: "The eldest son is sick and can't go out. This has posed a problem to Chang Wei Bo. Should he face the challenge head-on or put it aside for the time being? If he faces the challenge head-on, he will completely offend Lord Xu. Lord Xu will have a reason to take action..."

Another powerful man looked at Huang Lin and said, "If you put it on hold, let Xu go easily. Mr. Huang, don't blame me for waiting."

"If you have the guts, make Xu bow his head first!"

"Hold on!"

"Please tell Mr. Huang about this matter, and ask Long Wilbur to understand us."

Huang Lin looked at these people and knew that they were all testing him. He sneered and said, "So what if it's Lord Xu? Don't forget that Yan Song and his son also have to report it obediently!"

A powerful man sighed, "Mr. Huang, that is the capital, under the nose of your majesty. Yan Song and his son are your majesty's dogs. How dare they disobey the master's order?"

"Lord Xu is the leader of our southern region. To be frank, Your Majesty should also be cautious, right?"

"That's right. Otherwise, given your majesty's attitude towards my Confucianism, Lord Xu would have been kicked out of the Political Affairs Hall long ago."

The atmosphere of discussing politics was very strong in the South. The scholars talked nonsense, but the gentry analyzed the situation and changes in the court one by one.

Why do you analyze these things when you have nothing to do?

Listen to the wind!

What does the saying go: Even a pig can fly if it stands in the right place.

Once these powerful people smell an opportunity, they will use their own network of connections to speculate.

There are many failures, but once you succeed, the rewards...

Just like following a dragon, everyone knows that if one fails to follow the dragon, one will die, but why do people still flock to it?

It’s nothing, the rewards are just too high.

If Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng did not have the qualifications to work in Prince Yu's residence, how could it be their turn to take charge of the government?

After some analysis by several powerful people, the general situation was clearly analyzed.

It is true that there are great talents among the people, but these people have misjudged Jiang Qingzhi.

Or, they thought they understood Jiang Qingzhi, and felt that Xu's humble attitude had put Jiang Qingzhi in a bad position.

Jiang's lackey took a sip of wine and asked, "How did Wang Qing die?"

The great scholar Wang Qing committed suicide in prison. It was said that he used his outer clothes to tie a rope and hanged himself on the prison door.

"That's Wang Qing, and this is the elder and the Confucian." Someone shook his head and laughed. "How can they be the same?"

Yes!

Huang Lin was tough on the outside, but he was worried about Jiang Qingzhi in his heart.

Now that he was on Jiang's big ship, they would share the same fate. He wished he could rush into the Xu family and beat Xu Fan to death with a stick.

"I believe in you, Lord!" Huang Lin gritted his teeth and raised his glass, saying, "Two days at most!"

Ha ha!

Everyone exchanged glances secretly, thinking that this matter was a stalemate. Who were you, Huang Lin, showing off to?

To that uncle?
I heard that the uncle has been hanging out with prostitutes recently, I guess...his kidneys must be broken!

Thinking of these world-famous beauties whom everyone could hardly see on weekdays, now allowing Jiang Qingzhi to do whatever he wanted, everyone couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Someone glanced at Huang Lin and said, "Since Mr. Huang is a disciple of Jiang, he should persuade Chang Wei Bo that this matter can only be resolved if it is slow. Slowness is the right thing to do."

"master!"

The butler came in in a hurry and forgot to greet.

"What's the matter?" Huang Lin, who was being squeezed, was secretly angry and spoke in a bad tone.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Just now, someone from the government office went to the Xu family, and then the eldest son went out."

what!
Everyone thought that Xu Fan was pretending to be sick.
The patient who was supposed to be lying in bed appeared on the street alive and well. This was a slap in Jiang Qingzhi's face!

Several powerful men couldn't help but feel excited, feeling that they had a backbone, and looked at Huang Lin with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

Chiang's running dog?
Just wait and see!

"Where did he go?" Huang Lin asked.

"He went outside Long Weber's residence and shouted for a meeting."

Huang Lin slowly looked at the few strong men, and felt a warm current surging on his back. He wanted to shout out in excitement!

"Master, it's mighty!"

……

Someone from the Xu family came and said that Jiang Qingzhi was invited to a banquet.

Jiang Qingzhi was reading a letter from home at the time, and upon hearing this, he said casually, "Send him away."

Xu Wei went out and said only a few words: "Master is busy."

That expression was so calm, as if he was talking to the air.

The visitor from the Xu family blushed... Having been dominating the Songjiang Prefecture for so long, even the local officials and gentry would be polite to him when they met Xu's manager.

However, Xu Wei treated him as air and said just four words: Uncle is busy.

After Xu Wei finished speaking, he turned around and went in, not even refusing to look at him again.

The visitor was so ashamed and angry that he was about to lose his temper, but when he saw Sun Chonglou rolling up his sleeves with a sinister smile on his face, he couldn't help but shudder and remembered what the housekeeper had told him.

——Bow your head!
The eldest son couldn't bear it anymore.

In other words, the Xu family is willing to admit defeat.

If I lose my temper and make things difficult for the eldest master, I will probably be skinned alive when I return home… The visitor was sweating profusely. Even though he couldn’t see Jiang Qingzhi, he still bowed and said loudly, “I will definitely pass on your message.”

Xu Wei laughed inside and said, "Sure enough, he only remembers the beatings but not the food."

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and held up the letter, "Mr. Xia said that the capital is quite lively. Someone has opened a bet on the success or failure of my trip south." Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled, "The Bo Mansion didn't make any move?"

A great opportunity to make money!

"I spent five hundred thousand dollars." Jiang Qingzhi sighed.

"It's a lot." Xu Wei felt that the boss had too big an appetite.

"The person who went to place the bet was recognized and refused to take the money." Jiang Qingzhi regretted this.

"Tsk!" Xu Wei laughed and said, "My Lord has never lost a bet. The person who opened the betting must be afraid!"

"But the palace has taken action." Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile: "The 500,000 strings of cash were bet through the palace and the Duke Cheng's Mansion. Oh! It seems that we will have a lot more money this year."

Xu Wei said: "The place outside the city is a bottomless pit. No amount of money can fill it."

There are now multiple research projects going on simultaneously at the Mohist base outside the city, and money is being spent like water every day.

At the end of last year, when the Bo Mansion was counting the accounts, Li Tian saw the total expenses of the Mohist base outside the city and was so scared that he hurried to find Jiang Qingzhi.

Jiang Qingzhi did not comment, saying: "Once those studies bear fruit, the money will naturally roll in."

Apart from firearms, most of the projects under development at the Mohist base are for civilian use.

Once it is released... no matter if you invest it yourself or sell it, the rate of return will be so high that it will make that woman dumbfounded!
When Jiang Qingzhi thought of his wife, he couldn't help but think of his son.

I don’t know what happened to that boy.

In his previous life, Jiang Qingzhi felt that he was free. The road of life was long, and although he felt a little lonely, it was nice to be free from constraints and worries.

After getting married and having children, it seems like there is suddenly a lot of stuff in this person's heart, and he is thinking about something every moment.

The original freedom is gone, but there is a sense of tranquility and peace.

Get up, eat, do things... go to sleep. The two people who suddenly appeared in my life gradually became indispensable life partners.

My previously restless heart gradually calmed down.

And enjoy it like honey.

If this kind of life continued for a hundred years, Jiang Qingzhi felt that he would never get tired of it.

After Xia Yan knew his thoughts, he smiled and said that this was maturity, this was becoming an adult.

The Taoist didn't comment and ate one more pancake with satisfaction.

"Master, Xu Fan is here and wants to see you."

Sun Bu Tong came in and said with a smile: "He looked extremely respectful. Shi Tou even teased him, but Xu Fan was not angry."

Xu Fan was standing outside the gate of Jiang Qingzhi's residence at this moment. The side door was open. Sun Chonglou crossed his arms and said, "...At that time, Lord Xu said with a fake smile that the young master was a master of war, but where did the food that disappeared in the south go? Those people said it was done by the Confucians. Lord Xu is known as the leader of Confucianism, so why didn't he say anything?"

Sun Chonglou always remembered this incident. After returning to Beijing, he muttered that he wanted to teach Xu Jie a lesson, but was stopped by Jiang Qingzhi.

"Master is magnanimous and says that everyone uses their own methods. Master is magnanimous, but I bear grudges."

As the saying goes, a son should not speak of his father's faults. Someone criticized his father in front of Xu Fan. He was extremely ashamed and angry. He looked up and wanted to fight back, but he saw Sun Chonglou looking at his neck with a smile.

This guy is called Asura, and it is said that he loves killing the most...Xu Fan's impulse was completely wiped out.

"The young master didn't say it, but I think he's counting on you to take it. How about you go back first? After all, this is the home of Lord Xu! As the leader of the Shilin community, don't you feel ashamed to bow your head like this?"

Sun Chonglou said sincerely: "Go back! I promise not to stop you!"

Xu Fan felt a chill down his spine, thinking that this guy's words might seem intimidating, but if he thought about it carefully, Confucianism and Mohism cannot coexist. If Jiang Qingzhi could find an opportunity to attack his own father, how could he let it go?
The dog is fishing!

This big fool... foolishly told all of Jiang Qingzhi's plans.

Thank you!
At this time, Sun Bu Tong came out and said, "Young Master, please."

Xu Fan was startled, "I don't dare to call you the eldest master."

Songjiang Prefecture called him the eldest son, and Xu Fan was very proud of it. But if you think about it carefully, Jiang Qingzhi is younger than you, Xu Fan, and he is already a world-famous general, a Mohist master, a powerful official of the Ming Dynasty, and the person in charge of the new policy...

"Young Master" sounds nice, but it has the flavor of a dandy and implies that the person relies on the reputation of his father and grandfather.

Is it a shame?

Jiang Qingzhi was writing a reply letter when Sun Bu Tong came in. "Uncle, he's here."

"Wait." Jiang Qingzhi thought for a while, and finally wrote: Xu Chengzong invited the famous prostitutes from Qinhuai River to go south as a gesture of appeasement.

Jiang Qingzhi could imagine what kind of public opinion would be aroused when the news that a group of famous prostitutes from Qinhuai River were heading south to Songjiang Prefecture reached the capital.

——Jiang Qingzhi slept in the same bed with a group of famous prostitutes.

This man acted like a gentleman in the capital, but his true colors were revealed once he left the capital.

Jiang Qingzhi packed the letter and handed it to Sun Bu Tong, "Send it together with the letter to His Majesty."

Jiang Qingzhi informed his father of the progress of the matter in the form of a letter, rather than a memorial. If the family letter was sent at the same time, the speed would be very fast.

Xu Fan came in and saluted.

"Meet Long Wilbur."

Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarette and Sun Bu Tong stepped forward to light it for him.

After taking a puff of medicinal smoke, Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "I heard that you are the tyrant of Songjiang Prefecture?"

Xu Fan was startled. "I am..."

"I originally wanted to rid the area of ​​evil. Do you think you can hold on until now because I am afraid of Lord Xu?"

Isn't it? Xu Fan was angry, "What do you mean, Master?"

Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand.

Xu Wei took out a letter and said, "Five days ago, a fast horse from the capital sent a letter from Lord Xu. The letter mentioned the number of Xu's land and population."

Xu Jie!

Admit defeat!
Xu Wei sighed, "If it weren't for this letter, the eldest master would be in prison right now."
