Xu Sijin chuckled: I want to discuss Linbo with you

Linbo Xu Lingyi was stunned, why did you think of him?

Linbo and Zhaoying were once Xu Lingyi's personal servants. Needless to say, they were smart, capable and loyal. Moreover, after they were released, one was in charge of the Xu family's overseas trading firm in Guangzhou and the other was in charge of the overseas trading firm in Ningbo.

He is very good, especially Zhaoying, who is bold and careful. Now he is one of the top figures in Ningbo City. Even the prefect of Ningbo met him.

Everyone must be courteous.

At that time, the emperor did not agree with me following Ouyang Ming to hunt down Duoyan. Later, after the Queen Mother personally intervened, the emperor reluctantly agreed. It can be seen that in the emperor's mind, I am too young to take on the big responsibility. Xu Sijin said

, the smile gradually faded, and by chance, I caught Duoyan. When the emperor saw me, he laughed at my good luck and said that I was his lucky general.

The emperor said this at the Jinluan Palace, and Xu Lingyi was also present.

At that time, it even made the officials laugh.

He nodded slightly.

Regardless of whether the emperor said this out of sincerity or because he was afraid that the wind would destroy the trees if they were beautiful in the forest. Logically speaking, the emperor should not let me be the commander-in-chief of Guizhou. It is the entire Zhou Dynasty, plus the commander-in-chief of water transportation.

There are only twenty-one governors in total. Even if I bend down, other people's eyes will still see me. Xu Sijin said seriously and sent Master Gong away, and I went to Prince Yong's Mansion.

Listening to what Prince Yong said, I can only achieve the position of commander-in-chief because of Princess Jiangdu’s words.

Xu Lingyi knew more about the ins and outs of this matter than Xu Sijin, but he wanted to hear what his son would say.

Is this an exaggeration? Xu Lingyi was quite disapproving.

This is a national event

The emperor knew that the elders wanted to compete with the Ministry of War for the position of commander-in-chief. Later, Xu Sijin, the people from the Ministry of War gained the upper hand, and the emperor became a little unhappy. It happened that Princess Jiangdu felt that I had been wronged and complained to the Queen,

After hearing the impromptu idea, the emperor decided that I would be the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, and the Fujian Dusi Tongzhi recommended by the elders would be the commander-in-chief of Sichuan. Speaking of which, this is also the emperor's balancing act.

Xu Lingyi looked at Xu Sijin in surprise.

My son has really grown up. He is no longer the child that makes him worry all the time and dare not let go for a moment.

For Xu Sijin to talk to him like a colleague, he felt both unaccustomed to it and new to him at the same time.

You can only guess at the holy will. He scolded his son softly, and instead of being angry, there was a hint of relief in his tone.

Naturally, Xu Sijin could hear it. He looked at his father with a playful smile and changed the subject: Good staff are hard to come by, so I won't force them. First, find a few people who can write official documents to join in and use them first. The most important thing is to find one.

I am a young man who can help manage the silver mine. I am a noble and a relative. When I first arrived in Guizhou, how could those older and senior soldiers convince me? If I want to secure my position as the commander-in-chief of Guizhou, I must kill him.

Let the chicken show the monkey and fix a few people. If I stare at the silver mine every day, those people will definitely follow the clues and find out Prince Yong, which will be troublesome. Linbo has done well in Guangzhou over the years, but it is worse than the shadow.

Be careful and ask him to manage the silver mine for me. He is the best candidate. Whether it is Linbo or taking pictures, let them be the stewards of Guangzhou Ningbo Trading Company, or let them leave them on the farm to do nothing.

Based on his words, Xu Lingyi was more interested in what Xu Sijin said about rectifying a few people.

Oh, he raised his eyebrows. So, you already have a clue about how to go to Guizhou.

Not yet. Xu Sijin cracked his knuckles, as if he was eager to fight with others. Anyway, no one can try to ride on me. He also said, this is my first errand. If I fail,

Once your reputation is known, it will be difficult to do anything in the future.

Generally speaking, his son is well aware of everything. Xu Lingyi nodded secretly, stopped asking too many questions, and said with a smile: Your fourth brother is now in charge of the general affairs of the family. Linbo is the manager of Guangzhou Commercial Bank, and Guangzhou Commercial Bank has accounted for half of its income in recent years.

One-tenth of the family's share. If you want to take Linbo over, talk to your fourth brother first.

Xu Sizhen is the eldest brother and the heir apparent, so we must respect him in this regard.

Xu Sijin laughed after hearing this: Before I came, I went to the fourth brother's place first. The fourth brother said, no matter who I fall in love with, as long as you agree, I can just take it away. He also gave me four thousand taels of silver and said that he would let me

Don't scrape the money of those subordinates when you take office. They look too ugly and will make people look down upon. As he said this, he turned Xu Lingyi with his elbow and said, Dad, you have also led soldiers. Four thousand taels of silver, among those

The eyes of my colleagues who have fought in the war are like a drop of rain. The fourth brother gave me four thousand taels of silver for his little income in a year. You are still the Marquis of Yongping, so you can also give me some private money.

No, it’s time for Mom to nag me for spending money indiscriminately. You also know that if Mom wants to do something, she can definitely do it. Maybe she will send Wan Daxian to Guizhou to check my account for this matter.

After all, I am also a high-ranking official in the province. When my subordinates saw that I was so old, my mother still wanted to check my accounts, so she checked my accounts. It was like an unweaned child. Who can blame me? How can I control it?

ah

If you don't talk alarmist here, I won't believe it. With your cleverness, others can buy land and houses during the war. You just come back empty-handed. Don't worry, your mother and I won't ask you for a penny. You just keep it.

Just go and honor your grandmother. Don't call me poor. Before Xu Lingyi finished speaking, Xu Lingyi couldn't help laughing. As for your mother, she has always done things in a measured way. Why did she send Wan Daxian to check your account?

, even if your mother sends Wan Daxian to check your accounts, others will only say that you are respectful to your mother. Who dares to laugh at you? If you plan carefully, you might even get the title of filial piety and honesty.

His mother has always been very strict with him about money. He saved some private money and didn't want his mother to know about it. Of course, he couldn't admit it in front of his father. Although his father would not take the initiative to tell his mother, if his mother asked, his father would definitely not tell him.

Hiding it from her mother, with her shrewdness, is tantamount to telling her.

Father, how can you say that? Xu Sijin jumped on his feet pretending to be unjustly accused. He really planned to find a way to get the censor to criticize him if his mother sent Wan Daxian to check his accounts. In this way, he could still get

I have a filial piety. When I have money, in addition to being filial to my grandmother, of course I also want to be filial to you and my mother. My father saw all this little thought, so it would be better to go to Guizhou as soon as possible. Although it was hard at that time, the sky was high and the emperor was far away.

Ah, well, well, Xu Lingyi doesn’t know what her son is thinking. Eleven Niang is very strict with her son in terms of money because she is afraid that he will be like those playboys who raise actors and go to gambling houses. Since Linbo wants to follow you to Guizhou, that’s good, in the future

I'll let the Guangzhou Commercial Bank give you ten thousand taels of silver every year.

Dad, Xu Sijin was overjoyed and flattered his father, you are so kind to me. Looking at his father's calm and relaxed look, he had an idea and asked Xu Lingyi with a smile.

Have you already planned it?

Xu Lingyi did not say anything, but looked straight, staring into his eyes seriously and coldly: The family does not expect you to come back with money, so you must strive for success. You must not compete with the people for profit. You must serve as an official for one term.

Bring a blessing to one place and let the people talk about you. If you don't praise you, you can't criticize the ancestors of our Xu family by pointing to their spines.

Xu Sijin quickly stopped his playful expression and responded respectfully and solemnly: Dad, don't worry, I will never embarrass the Xu family, let alone harm the people. After saying this, he paused and added

I won't let anyone point at my spine and scold you for saying this. At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of narrowing in the eyebrows.

When the words came to your mouth, your face turned into a playful smile. Xu Lingyi smiled helplessly and said, "Your mother and I are both strict people. How come we gave birth to a son like you?"

It's because you and your mother are too strict that Guanyin gave me to you. Xu Sijin and his father laughed, got up and were about to leave. I'll ask my eldest brother to go to Linbo.

Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded, and Eleven Niang lifted the curtain and entered.

Xu Sijin quickly winked at his father and touched the purse containing some broken silver, signaling his father not to tell Eleven Niang that he had private money.

Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded slightly.

Shi Niang glanced at her father and son suspiciously: What are you talking about?

The corner of Xu Sijin's mouth moved slightly, and when he was about to speak, Xu Lingyi had already rushed in front of him and said: Didn't he come back after making great achievements? He also named Wu Jinbo and became the general soldier of Guizhou. He must be walking around with relatives and friends, and he wants to prepare gifts.

If the money is more valuable, let me give him the extra money. I agreed to him and asked him to go to Brother Zhun to discuss it.

This kind of walking is also a common practice in the palace. Xu Sijin has always been rich, and Eleven Niang has no doubt that she has it. She smiled and said: What do you want to give, just make an order, and the money girl will help you post it.

Xu Sijin was greatly impressed. He cast an admiring look at his father, and then quickly put his arm around his mother's shoulders: Mom, you can keep your private money to buy flowers. This time I will give dad a hard blow. After saying that, he exposed

I couldn't wait to find my fourth brother. As he spoke, he looked slightly gloomy as if he had remembered something, and his voice was a little lower. I stopped coming back for lunch and wanted to pay homage to Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu.

Eleven Niang was very happy and said hurriedly: "Please help me burn some paper silver." After saying that, she asked Amber to weigh ten taels of silver. For worship, everyone must give their own silver to correct their names.

Xu Sijin quietly collected the money, bowed to his parents, and went to Xu Sizhen's place.

Eleven Niang said to Xu Lingyi: Mom called me over just now and specifically asked Brother Jin about the marriage. She said that she wanted me to hand over the sign today. She, the old man, wanted to go to the palace in person to ask the Queen Mother for this special decree. My second sister-in-law and I

No matter how much I try to persuade you, it won’t work. Mr. Marquis, why don’t you go and talk about it?

Because of her health, the late Emperor was exempted from paying congratulations to the Tai Madam on the first day of the new year. The Tai Madam had not been in the palace for some years. On several occasions, the Queen Mother missed the Tai Madam and secretly visited her at her residence.

The two went to the madam's place.
