"Zhu Gong is quite talented in business. His father died young and was a maid and a concubine son, so he had no inheritance and did not join the sect. In previous years, he often followed the Ming Gong to make plans, and when he returned home after Ding Gong was in trouble, he established his own position and returned to his family."

Shen Zhezi listened carefully to Qian Feng's more detailed description of Zhu Gong. I have to say that compared to himself, Zhu Gong's life experience is more like a bitter and revengeful protagonist in the online literature. He has become a wealthy man from a noble family and many tricks to this day, which is so inspiring that people are touching.

The news of the previous Longxi Zhu Zuzhe's return confirmed Shen Zhezi's guess, and he felt that Zhu Gong was so annoying to pester each other. It was said that Zhu Gong was flirting with him first. Shen Zhezi had just returned home a few days ago, but he never thought that this guy had already chased him. In contrast, he seemed to have no temper.

However, Shen Zhezi is now confident and cares more about Zhu Gong's family's wealth, so he asked Qian Feng again: "From uncle, if Zhu Gong is given enough time, how much grain can he raise in Wu?"

"There are high prices in the world, and each company has closed its warehouses and is reluctant to sell them. If Zhu Gong wants to raise grain, he must start with poor families and accumulate flows into a river. Judging from his financial resources, he can get 20,000 to 30,000 hu."

Qian Feng was quite sensitive to numbers and was good at common affairs. After fiddling with the calculations, he quickly gave Shen Zhezi an answer.

Seeing Qian Feng holding a long and short wooden stick, Shen Zhezi was dizzy when he saw this calculation principle and planned to wait for a while to make an abacus. He felt a little satisfied when he heard this number and smiled: "In this way, the Zhu family's grain storage can be as many as 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, which is already very good."

Qian Feng also smiled and nodded, "This is a stingy man who is devoted to economics and does not seek a clear position. Instead, he is a small order to gather wealth and stock up on goods. He has already saved a lot over the years."

Judging from the land that the Zhu family owned, the amount of land that is deducted from various expenses and consumption, according to the theory, there would not be so much grain savings. The family is big and the consumption is amazing. With the Shen family's large family business, the warehouse has bottomed out for more than half a year.

Zhu Gong was appointed as the magistrate of the former county magistrate of the county dynasty, and was not considered a noble official position, but it had one advantage, that is, he could control the officials and clerks controlled by the county office. At present, the officials and households were the main responsible persons of manpower and labor labor in various places, collecting money, grain and taxes, repairing the water conservancy county office, and maintaining public order within the country. He had some authority and authority in front of ordinary people, but for the chief officials, it was free labor and could be assigned at will.

In the small county of the country, there can be more than a hundred officials and households. If men and women do not restrict themselves to requisition, they will be hundreds of laborers. As the magistrate of the country, Zhu Gong is equivalent to hundreds of additional divisions working for him, and he will provide him with money and grain to support him without spending any of them. This item alone can save thousands of hu of grain every year.

At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the family business of overseas Chinese was not prosperous. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they often had to serve as the county magistrate of a prefecture, in order to facilitate the establishment of industries in the local area to support their families. Yu Yi served as the magistrate of Jiyang County, and later Xie Yi served as the magistrate of Yan County, which was related to this. After Yonghe, this phenomenon gradually decreased. There was food and field at home, and the high-ranking family was happy to be clear and free.

From this point of view, Zhu Gong was particularly obsessed with money, which was exactly what Shen Zhezi wanted.

Shen Zhezi already knew Zhu Gong's behavior logic. That day he took his aunt away from the Zhu family, which was a complete feud. Zhu Gong relied on was that the Shen family lacked food. He could raise more food, and the more chips he had in his hands, the more he could use it to threaten it, and he would not worry that the Shen family would turn against him.

Therefore, once he realized that Xu Kuang had no intention of coming to the door, Shen Zhezi might as well show that he was weak. The more weak the Shen family, the more unscrupulous Zhu Gong would be. He waited for Shen family to cut off his meat, so naturally the more food he had in his hands, the more benefits he could get.

The small households can have dozens or hundreds of hu of food, but it is the limit. The acquisition is difficult and cumbersome, and it consumes a lot of energy and financial resources. We must be wary of other companies' constraints and interference. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave this matter to Zhu Gong, and Shen Zhezi is happy to enjoy the fruits.

However, Shen Zhezi was also worried that Zhu Gong would not be able to collect grain well, so he deliberately added a fire to make this guy even more difficult. So he sent someone to force his aunt's dowry industry to anger Zhu Gong. On the other hand, he sent a message to the Xu family of Wucheng to inform him of Xu Kuang's visit.

A few days later, the Xu family visited him, and the leader was Xu Cheng, who was over 60 years old.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the white-haired Xu Cheng repeatedly claimed crimes: "I really don't know that there was an unfilial family, and they were involved in external people and plotted to do things! I was so stupid that I felt ashamed of my old friend!"

Shen Zhezi did not doubt Xu Cheng's words, so he stepped forward to help the elderly and said with a smile: "Xu Gongyan is serious, and his children and grandchildren have their own plans. This is human nature, so how can the elders know it all."

Xu Cheng did not enter the hall first, but waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Bring the rebellious person up to me!"

As soon as Shen Zhezi finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Xu Kuang, who looked gray, lifted up with his arms tied up, his clothes, beards and hair were all messy, and he was not as leisurely as he visited the door last time.

Xu Kuang was extremely frightened at this time. He left the Shen family and stayed in Wukang. He used the connections he met when he was an official here to help Zhu Gong buy food from nearby small households. He waited until his clan uncle came to Wukang in person and summoned him to him, and realized that the matter had been revealed.

At this time, when he saw Shen Zhezi standing on the steps, he looked calm and showed his eyes. In addition to his guilt, Xu Kuang was more shocked. He really couldn't imagine that the young man had already known these things behind his back, and he could poke his life as soon as he made a move!

The Shen and Xu families have been intimate for generations, and the Xu family is dependent on the Shen family again. How could he destroy his friendship for many years? Xu Kuang can already imagine his miserable ending. Now it is meaningless to shirk responsibility. Xu Kuang said in a bleak expression: "Zhezi Xiaolangjun, the mistake is only for me. Bewitched by Zhu Ming's words, it has nothing to do with my family. The big mistake has been made, and I dare not ask for forgiveness. I just want to ask for trouble."

"You still have the face to speak!"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng was even more furious. In a rage, he raised his foot and kicked Xu Kuang over to the ground, kicking him all the way down the courtyard.

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi quickly persuaded someone to stop him. He was afraid that Xu Cheng's old bone would have any mistakes in his family. At this point, Xu Kuang, a rebellious boy, would no longer have a good end. The Xu family must severely punish this person to give the Shen family an explanation.

However, at the moment, Xu Kuang is still useful. Shen Zhezi asked someone to help Xu Cheng, who was panting, to rest. He bent down to help Xu Kuang, who was in a mess, and then smiled and said, "The two families have a good family background, so they don't have any slander from villains. Uncle Shi, you are swaying your mind and make mistakes for a moment. Speaking of which, it is because my family is not thinking well, which makes you unable to feel at ease."

Xu Kuang didn't dare to do so. At this time, his thoughts were already chaotic. The more the boy treated him with courtesy, the more he felt inexplicably palpitations.

"In order to be at ease with each other, please follow me to see."

Shen Zhezi waved and signaled that the person would loosen the tie for Xu Kuang. Then he led him to the place of the granary in the manor. He ordered someone to open the granary and reached out to Xu Kuang and pointed out: "What Uncle Shi is nothing more than the current hustle and bustle in my house. Please come in and check it carefully."

Xu Kuang was completely confused at this time. He would not believe Zhu Gong's words and betray the Shen family, so he came to visit and explore the truth. However, Shen Zhezi's reaction clearly told him that his family had run out of food, but now he led him to the granary.

Although he had accepted his fate, Xu Kuang was still suspicious and gritted his teeth and walked into the warehouse. He was even more stunned when he saw the rice and grain stored in half of the warehouse. He couldn't help but go forward to check in person. It was true that the grain was completely empty, and there was at least tens of thousands of stones of grain in this warehouse alone!

Shen Zhezi didn't say much, leaving it for Xu Kuang to experience it. When this guy walked out of the granary with a dull look, he led him to the next warehouse.

All the warehouses in the manor are circling around, each with rice and grain reserves. Just what Xu Kuang saw is tens of thousands of stones! In addition to rice and grain, there are also dried vegetables, fish, croquettes, and various dried fruits and dried fruits, which are all savings!

The impact of the physical object is much greater than the number on the book. If Xu Kuang had a little luck, he would have the heart to die when he saw the Shen family's warehouses were so abundant! He was so lard that he abandoned the Shen family's thick legs and hugged Zhu Gong's thin arm!

However, Shen Zhezi felt that the psychological blow to this guy was not big enough, so he spoke nonsense: "My uncle had already gone to Tiaoxi yesterday to mobilize rice and grain and was ready to transport it to Wucheng. This batch has about 5,000 hu. Before the frost, another batch can be transferred. If Uncle Shi came one day earlier, he would have lived with my uncle, but today I missed it."

If he had heard this before, Xu Kuang would have doubted the authenticity of this sentence, but the impact of seeing the real thing at the moment is very different from the situation he imagined. At this moment, he could no longer tell the authenticity of the falsehood, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse. When he heard Shen Zhezi say this, he immediately covered his face and cried: "A difference of one thought, a difference of one thought... I am really stupid, I am a waste of one thought!"

With this kind of psychological quality, you are still a rebellious boy?

Shen Zhezi saw Xu Kuang crying, and he could probably guess that his intestines were full of regret. He felt a little happy in his heart, but a big man was always crying and insignificant, so he walked aside and waited for Xu Kuang's emotions to stabilize.

After a while, Xu Kuang stopped crying, his eyes turned red, and he walked to Shen Zhezi with difficulty, and said sadly: "Young man ignores past grudges and helps my family, which makes me feel even more ashamed..."

"Oh, it's also true that I was young and Zhiqian. Last time Uncle Shi came to my house, I should have let you transport the food away. But the elders were not at home, so I didn't dare to make a decision, otherwise it wouldn't be the case."

Shen Zhezi would not admit that he was deliberately fooling this guy, and immediately said with a heartache.

"After all, I am short-sighted and obscene, and I misunderstood Zhu Gong's husband and made a mistake!"

Speaking of this, Xu Kuang was full of deep hatred. Looking back now, Shen Zhezi's reactions last time were normal, and he was hateful that he misunderstood that Zhu Gong was the first, so he made a wrong judgment based on his preconceptions.

After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have no face to ask for forgiveness again, but now I can only sue Zhu Gong's conspiracy to the husband to compensate for his previous crime."
