"Young Master Qin, you should know that if you lose in one step, you will lose in the whole game."

Xu Dongyi also said with fear that Xu Dongyi dared not underestimate Qin Mu anymore. Now Xu Dongyi regards Qin Mu as a life-saving straw to save his entire clan.

"That's true."

Qin Mu said that for Qin Mu, the more afraid the Xu family is, the better it is, and it saves himself more trouble, so that the Xu family will not hold a grudge against the Mu family. If it is not done well, the Xu family will thank him very much.

"Mr. Qin, after your analysis just now, I was scared and sweaty on my back. Even if our Xu family does not do fabric business with your Mu family, our Xu family is still the richest man in Jiangnan. Will the court still keep his eyes on our Xu family?"

Xu Dongwang asked worriedly, "You must know that there is a saying, "You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it." I don't know if the house will be confiscated by the court one day, and I live a worried life, but it is very uncomfortable.

"I can't say this. I think your Xu family will be low-key in the future, and the court will not think of you for a while."

Qin Mu said with certainty that how could a commoner like himself know about such things? Perhaps, the emperor today thinks that the pig in the Xu family has been raised strong enough, and it is also very likely that he will kill and eat "meat". In Qin Mu's previous life, Qin Mu saw too many such things, it depends on whether your relationship is hard.

"What if the court remembers us?"

Xu Dongyi asked worriedly, after all, this is not an impossible time. The emperors of the Qin Dynasty liked the most was the search of their homes. Every year, several officials were searched, and some were even exterminated. They were first-rank officials. There were many people who were searched in recent years. Compared with them, the Xu family was not as good as those of these officials except for the more money.

"That's right, it's hard to say. The power of heaven is unpredictable." Qin Mu said with a frown. After all, who knows such a thing?

"yes."

Several people in charge of the Xu family couldn't help but frown. In recent years, the Xu family only knew to constantly monopolize the market and make their business bigger and stronger, but did not consider this hidden danger.

In ancient times, among the four peoples of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants were the lowest and had a low status. The laws of the Qin Dynasty clearly stipulated that even if merchants were rich, they could not wear silk clothes. Merchants could not enter the court as officials. Every year, merchants had to declare their family wealth to the court. Those who declared falsely would confiscate their family wealth and were still displaced for thousands of miles. Without the emperor's grace, they would not be allowed to return to their hometown.

Many officials of the Xu family and the Qin Dynasty took advantage of the loopholes in the Qin Dynasty's laws and did not go to do business themselves, but let their relatives go to do business. After all, the Qin Dynasty's laws do not stipulate that the brothers and sisters of officials cannot do business.

In the laws of the Qin Dynasty, soldiers, officials and landed self-cultivated farmers were all people with full capacity to act, enjoying the rights of personal, property, marriage and a single independent household. However, the rights of merchants, son-in-law and father were restricted.

During the Qin Dynasty, the country promoted "focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce", believing that farming is the main business and doing business is the last business, so the business class was discriminated against and they could accumulate a lot of wealth, but the law prohibited them from wearing silk clothes and riding in gorgeous cars, which was called "although rich and have nothing to do."

Neither businessmen nor their children could be in politics and they were sent to the frontier to engage in land reclamation activities than ordinary people.

The son-in-law and the father were even less in power. After marriage, they had to live at their wives' homes. Their children took their wives' surname and lost their right to establish themselves and had no independent property rights.

This is what Qin Mu only knew after studying the laws of the Qin Dynasty in Mu Erye’s study these days, but it scared Qin Mu very much. Qin Mu was really glad that he did not marry the eldest lady of the Mu family early. If he really became the son-in-law of the Mu family, he would really have no status.

All Qin Mu decided not to live in the Mu family. After this time, he set up his own business. After all, he has not become the son-in-law of the Mu family, and he still has time. As long as he has money to buy land and houses outside, he can register in the government and become an independent household registration.

At that time, we will marry Mu Yunxi and Xiao Cui. Of course, Qin Mu will not let go of Li Xiangjun. In terms of treating women, in Qin Mu's opinion, as long as he is a beautiful woman, he will be killed by Ling Ke and cannot be let go. Of course, this is just a wrong idea in Qin Mu's mind. There are so many beautiful women in this world. If Qin Mu really wants to kill him, Qin Mu will be reborn in less than three days. No matter how powerful the "Ten Complete Great Replenishment Pills" are, they cannot beat more women.

"I wonder what Mr. Qin can do to let our Xu family survive this crisis?"

Xu Dongliang looked at Qin Mu and asked, since the Xu family could not think of any good way for the time being, he had to ask for help from Mr. Qin. In Xu Dongliang's opinion, Mr. Qin is a very talented and capable person, otherwise so many people in the Mu family would not have sent him.

"this……"

Qin Mu's fingers flicked gently on the table, and his face showed a look of embarrassment. The Xu family is too ignorant of the rules.

"Mr. Qin, sorry, this is a silver note of 200,000 taels, please accept it."

When Xu Dongliang saw Qin Mu's actions, he understood what was going on. He took out four silver notes of 50,000 taels from his body and put them on a small table next to Qin Mu.

"This..., this is not very good."

Qin Mu looked at the silver notes on the table with embarrassment and said, "The Xu family is worthy of being the richest man in Jiangnan. This move is only 200,000 taels, which is enough for him to buy a small yard in Jinling. Qin Mu was secretly happy and was not far from establishing his own business."

"Young Master Qin, please accept this. If you didn't remind us, our Xu family would be in trouble. This little money is our little wish, so don't be polite."

Xu Dongliang said, "When you see people, you will talk nonsense when you meet ghosts, Qin Mu is not a good bird. If you don't give money, he probably won't help his Xu family. Xu Dongliang is a businessman. He knows the profits in the business world. If you don't give money, it is impossible to expect others to be heartless with you."

Besides, for the Xu family, money is the most in short supply. Not to mention 200,000, or one million, it is just a drop in the bucket for the entire Xu family.

"Since that's the case, I'm not polite."

Qin Mu stuffed the silver notes into his arms and said happily, it seems that this trip to Jinling was right, otherwise he would earn 200,000 taels of silver. You should know that now his monthly rate is only 300 taels a month, and he doesn't spend a penny, only 3600 taels a year. For these 200,000 taels, he might not be able to save so much money even if he stays in the Mu family until he is old.

"Young Master Qin, look at how our Xu family should overcome this difficulty this time?"

Xu Dongyi asked, for Xu Dongyi, he was not afraid of Qin Mu asking for money, but was afraid of Qin Mu not wanting money. For the current Xu family, there was really too much money. Even Xu Dongyi, the person in charge of the Xu family in Jiangnan, didn’t know how much money the Xu family had now. Anyway, he knew a lot, and it was really as Qin Mu said, and he was almost as rich as the country.

"The first and the easiest thing is to give all the money to the emperor in exchange for the safety of several generations, or exchange for a few official hats. Of course, this is the worst strategy. After all, no one wants to give all the money he has worked hard to others."

Qin Mu said, you should know that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The Xu family has already enjoyed such a wealthy life. It is definitely impossible to ask them to return to a simple life, and the Xu family will not accept it.

"Young Master Qin, you must have Zhongce and Shangce, right?"

Xu Dongyi asked anxiously, Xu Dongyi could not accept this bad strategy. Not to mention himself, even the other Xu family would not accept it. Everyone has become accustomed to this luxurious life.

"Zhongce means that your Xu family bought all the shops and workshops of the Xu family, and now you quit the business circle, and live a wealthy life with the money you earned over the years." Qin Mu said.

"This is much better than the worst, but the Xu family's business is because our Xu family has experienced hundreds of years of hard work and has reached a scale. If you say you give up, you will give up. How can we explain to our ancestors in a hundred years?" Xu Donghai said unhappily.

It is said that starting a business is difficult, and maintaining a business is even more difficult. The Xu family can have such a large industry, but the ancestors of all generations have been working hard to create, and no one can bear to give up such a large family business. If the elders in the clan knew about this, they would not be beaten to death and would not be able to enter the family's ancestral hall even if they died.

For people of this era, it is very serious that they cannot enter the family's ancestral hall after death and worship it for future generations.

In the eyes of people in this era, if they die, they cannot get into the ancestral hall of their family, and they will become lonely ghosts, even the King of Hell will not be reincarnated, nor will they be reincarnated. For those who believe in gods and Buddhas, this is the greatest punishment in the world.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, the Xu family's family business was passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. It has only reached its size today for hundreds of years. Our Xu family would not have given up on this family business, otherwise we would have no face to meet our ancestors."

Xu Dongliang said, "If anyone says he doesn't want such a big family business, he doesn't want it." Xu Dongliang is not determined not to have such a big family business. Without a family business, there is no continuous source of money. No matter how much money the Xu family has, there will be times when they are spent."

For a family, what they need to consider is not a matter of time and life, but the livelihoods of generations and the development of the family.

"Young Master Qin, don't you have the best strategy? Tell us about this best strategy!"

Xu Dongyi denied this Zhongshuo strategy without thinking. If he really wanted to abandon his family business, how different was it from that bad strategy? People in the family would not agree to abandon those family businesses. You should know that the sword of the court has not been put on the neck of the Xu family. Now these are just everyone’s concerns. Many people are still willing to take this risk. After all, if you say you want to give up, you will give up. Few people can accept it.
