All Hail Cousin Brother

Not to mention, he heard that the master of Shaoyi County inherited a very famous female gentleman from the Ye family.

There is a deep connection with Yezhou Mansion.

Often walking by the river, how can you not wet your shoes, Baifu can control the origin of medicinal materials in Guandong, manage such a huge family business, and sit on countless wealth, how can the family be clean?

Without the protection of the gentry, many things cannot stand a thorough investigation. Once a crime is convicted, it will be a disaster for them.

As the chief official of the three provinces of Liaodong, Yezhou Prefecture could never cover up the guilty.

Mrs. Bai's throat was a little dry: "He, how dare they? Although the Bai Mansion is only a merchant, the Han family behind us is a great nobleman in Xi'an..."

Master Bai smiled wryly and shook his head: "Don't you understand? Right now is the struggle between the tyrants and the Xie Mansion. The Princess of Shaoyi, the Yu clan behind her, the royalists behind the Yu clan, and King Wu Mu all pull together and mobilize the whole body. There is a tacit understanding with the great nobles in the north, and they will not easily get involved in the "controversy between merchants and gentry."

Everyone understands that once the gentry are involved, it will spread to the entire court, even the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it will become a situation of rivalry between the elites.

No one can afford this consequence.

The nobles did not dare to act rashly.

Mrs. Bai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she didn't understand what he meant: "Our family respects them a lot, how can they let them go? If something happens to our family, what good will it do to Han?"

Master Bai shook his head: "Shaoyi county master is not only a county master, she is also the only one in this dynasty, a first-grade holy lord Yi slave, her status is comparable to that of a princess, behind her are Yu's family and the queen mother. The royalist party headed by the royalists, the clan headed by King Wumu, and even tens of millions of people, she is a county master who can control the dynasty. It is not easy for a family to inherit. As long as it is not a mortal enemy, no noble family will rashly provoke another behemoth. , to make enemies and revenge for himself, and gamble with a century of family business."

As the saying goes, three generations of wealthy families, centuries-old families.

Wealthy families and noble families have to go through generations of accumulated heritage and business reputation before they can become a real power family, with a long history and longevity.

Xu Jie wanted to "fall strict", knowing that the key lies in the emperor, so he welcomed the emperor and won the Sacred Heart, and this was the success of "falling strict".

Why are the gentry unscrupulous and not afraid of the prestige of King Li of Zhou?

Why not, the imperial court is very suspicious of the vassal king, and the Sacred Heart is on the side of the gentry.

However, in the case of "King Li of Zhou" earlier, the provocation was the majesty of the heavenly family and the dignity of the royal family. The emperor hated the gentry in the north.

From this imperial examination alone, very few officials from the north were on the list, which shows the emperor's attitude towards the north.

Right now, the Royalist Party in the DPRK is powerful.

The gentry did not dare to confront the Shaoyi county master head-on. Since the Shaoyi county master came to the north, the gentry did not act rashly, and everyone was watching the situation.

Master Bai said sullenly, "We have become abandoned sons of the nobility."

Being in Xiangping, they are more sensitive to the situation in Xiangping, understand faster and more thoroughly, and then look at what Shaoyi County Master has done in Liancheng, it is not difficult to infer their current situation.

It is inevitable to consider a way out.

There was a dead silence in the house.

After a long time, Mrs. Bai's voice was dry: "What should we do now?"

Master Bai sighed heavily: "In the future, Shaoyi County will mainly go to Longfeng Temple to worship Medicine Buddha. In order to prevent and control the disaster and pray for the victims, I only have appointments with General Anyuan's mansion and Huang's mansion on the bright side, presumably with King Wumu The people you have made friends with will also go over to greet the Lord of Shaoyi County, and express them by the way, in response to the attitude of the Lord of Shaoyi County to prevent and control the epidemic. When that time comes, you will come with your daughter, mix with them, and join together. Fun."

As soon as Mrs. Bai heard it, she understood that this was a statement to the Lord of Shaoyi County, showing the strong support of the White House for the prevention and control of the disaster.

Master Bai continued: "Isn't the Xie House going to buy the medicinal materials and donate them to the government? All the medicinal materials related to epidemic prevention are sold to the Xie House at a 30% discount. I heard that the Shaoyi County Lord has established a fragrance workshop and will vigorously produce related medicinal materials. The fragrant medicine to avoid the epidemic, and another batch of medicinal materials and spices needed to make the fragrant medicine will be donated to the incense workshop of the Lord of Shaoyi County free of charge."

Mrs. Bai hesitated: "But in this case, Han's side..."

The White House turned to King Wu Mu, which was bound to offend the Han family.

Their family has cooperated with the Han family for many years, and both of them have mastered many secrets of the other party.

The death of King Li of Zhou also had something to do with the White House. If the Han family wanted to attack the White House, the Shaoyi County Lord would never be able to fight against the Han family directly for their family.

Master Bai looked helpless: "As early as the beginning, when King Li of Zhou was injustice and Zhaoxue, and the northern border fell into the hands of King Wu Mu, he should have known that sooner or later, such a day would come, and a decision should be made at that time."

But at that time, they were all gutted by the court, worried that Yin Huaixi held a grudge against them, and those who turned to King Wu Mu were all those who did not participate in the persecution of King Li of Zhou, but were forced by the prestige of the nobility, and had to stand by and watch.

In addition, at that time, Yin Huaixi was physically disabled. It was confirmed by the imperial doctor that he would not live to twenty years. They were not even afraid of King Li of Zhou, why should they be afraid of a weak and disabled person?

Out of instinctive fear of the vassal king, the emperor trusted Yin Huaixi, and he also kept his back, deliberately using the northern gentry to contain the vassal king, so the emperor killed the most, but the gentry, and the gentry were relatively few.

They were still useful to the imperial court, as long as they didn't commit a crime openly, Yin Huaixi couldn't blatantly move them.

If you surrender to Yin Huaixi, who knows what the consequences will be?

For various reasons, after weighing the pros and cons, it is the safest for them to maintain the status quo for the time being.

Master Bai shook his head: "Unfortunately, King Wu Mu is not King Li of Zhou." He would not be easily controlled by others.

After Yin Huaixi guarded the northern border, his control over the northern border was deepening, especially the three provinces of Liaodong, which were almost all under his control.

Everyone believes that most of the resources and economy in the north are concentrated in the mountains, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai. The three provinces of Liaodong are vast and sparsely populated, and resources are scarce. In a short period of time, it can indeed alleviate the dilemma of the You Army being controlled by others. After a long time, with the consumption of materials in the three Liaodong provinces, King Wu Mu still had to "restrict" them.

But I never thought that the owner of Shaoyi County had grown sweet potatoes with high yield and no soil quality.

I didn't even expect that Xie's house, who controls shipping, would come to the north.

The materials that King Wu Mu lacks can be shipped to King Wu Mu by sea, and they will not be subject to any gentry, which has become the most powerful bargaining chip against the gentry.

Mrs. Bai understands what he means, but she still has scruples in her heart: "I'm afraid that King Wu Mu will not appreciate it now that he failed to make a decision at the beginning."

The two sides are not flattering, and they have to make trouble because they are not people inside and out.

By then, the White House will be over.
