Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan out of the fifth uncle's ancestral home, followed the laneway and saw the busy street outside, and invited: "Let's go shopping?"

Fu Tinghan also wanted to see the difference between Wubao's economy and that of ordinary towns, so he nodded.

Fu An and Ting He were cleaning up in the old house. Seeing that there was no one waiting behind them, Zhao Hanzhang's servants were about to follow them. Zhao Hanzhang waved to them and said, "Who else can bully us in our own Wubao?" ?No need to follow.”

The servant bowed in agreement and watched the two of them go away.

When he was far away, Fu Tinghan said, "Zhao Ming is really amazing."

Zhao Hanzhang: "It's a pity that I'm not big enough, otherwise I can completely replace Zhao Ji."

"However, Zhao Zhongyu is not weak in ability. Even if his prestige is insufficient now, for the sake of stability, the Zhao family will not think of changing the clan leader." Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "But now the King of Donghai has taken the emperor to avoid the capital. I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

She said: "If the situation worsens in the future, they may move south, and Zhao Zhongyu may bring his clan members with him. At this time, it is better to be still than to move. Zhao Ming is right."

Fu Tinghan: "Will you move south?"

"In five or six years, we should have found the way back, right? If we haven't found it yet, we probably won't be able to go back. We'll see when the time comes. Follow the trend and do it safely."

Zhao Hanzhang was very open-minded. This was a judgment she made based on the history she knew, but Zhao Song didn't know this history.

So what they do is discuss things as they happen.

Zhao Ming entered the study smelling of alcohol, and Zhao Song glared at him angrily, "You drink all day and have nothing to do. Are you still young?"

Zhao Ming found a place on the mat and sat down cross-legged. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. "My son will cure his hangover. Don't be angry, old man."

Zhao Song: ...What should I do if I feel even more angry?

Zhao Ming put down the tea cup, wiped his lips and asked: "Tell me, what do you want from me? Do you want to sort out the family property and the property that the uncle originally entrusted to us to take care of and hand it over to the clan leader? I'll go right away."

"Stop!" Zhao Song said angrily: "You don't even ask who you want to take care of, so you hand it over?"

Zhao Ming said helplessly: "Father, Tan Zhong has already lived in Wubao. My son is not deaf, so he can naturally hear it."

Zhao Song frowned, "Just hand it over like this?"

"The family property is supposed to be handed over to the clan leader. Most of the uncle's original assets were handed over to the clan leader and Zhao Ji. If he doesn't hand them over, will he have to fight a lawsuit with the clan leader?" Zhao Ming said: "Now the Jin Dynasty is in trouble. , there are constant disputes in the court, at this time it is better not to distract the clan leader from the affairs of the clan, he can do whatever he wants."

Zhao Ming paused and then said: "Actually, my son feels that the clan leader may not really want to hand over the property to his staff, but now that he is short of money and he has just become the clan leader, it is difficult to talk to his father, so he thought We need to take the assets and raise some money."

"Hmph, Sanniang gave him all the properties and shops in Luoyang. Not to mention the value of the properties and shops, isn't the inventory and cash in the shops enough for him? Why should he use it to raise money from the Hui people? Money? This was never the case when your uncle was in charge."

"Father, isn't this an accident? Sanniang also said that the incident happened suddenly at that time. The clan leader fled directly with the emperor after entering the palace. Sanniang and the others stayed at home and could only clean up the family's belongings. In the end, they returned home. Everything is lost. The things in the shop, let alone they can’t go back to Luoyang now, even if they go back, is there anything left?”

When Zhao Ming saw that Zhao Song was silent, he comforted him: "Why would the patriarch prefer to hand over his assets to his staff rather than to the clan? Isn't it because my father and the clan leader have a normal relationship? You question the clan leader so much and make him subject to everything. Why does he Do I want the assets to be handed over to you?”

"Could it be that when my uncle is in charge of the house, and he needs money, this is how you respond to him?"

Zhao Song's eyes widened, and his heart suddenly burst into flames, "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

Zhao Ming was helpless, "My son is trying to reason with you. Look, are you being unreasonable again?"

"I'm just unreasonable," Zhao Song was furious and stomped his feet angrily, "I just won't hand it over to him. Humph, there is a war in Luoyang now, and it seems that the shops and fields there are not valuable anymore, but he exchanged it with Sanniang There was no war back then!”

"He is an elder, his son has inherited the title, and his eldest brother has handed over all the ancestral property to him, what else can he be dissatisfied with? He actually tricked Sanniang into changing the property over there, and then turned around and had the nerve to tell me that you The farm store here in the south is given to Sanniang." Zhao Song patted his face and said, "I was so ashamed for him. Fortunately, I didn't talk too much before, otherwise I, an elder, would have no face in front of Sanniang. Fu Changrong is still here, how can this be an embarrassment to him, Zhao Zhongyu, and this is an embarrassment to my Runan Zhao family!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming thought for a moment and nodded, "It's indeed embarrassing."

Zhao Song felt calmer and exhaled: "You know it's embarrassing, right?"

"But we can't act on impulse. You still haven't said how to solve this matter," Zhao Ming directly raised the core question, "Now that the patriarch is short of money, how to solve the ancestral, clan and private property in his hands?"

Zhao Song: ...so angry. He can't hear anything related to Zhao Zhongyu at the moment, but he has to solve it.

He sat back on the mat, panting angrily, and said after a while: "Take them to see the harvest in the fields tomorrow. What I mean is that his private property can be left to the staff to take care of, but the ancestral property and clan property cannot."

He looked at Zhao Ming, frowned and said: "I want to hand over the properties close to Sanniang's fields to her management. I will give him a rent every year, and the rest will be taken care of by the clan. What do you think?" ?”

Zhao Ming: "...Father, is this Sanniang's suggestion?"

"Of course not, I just thought about it and haven't told Sanniang yet."

"Why would Sanniang do such a thankless thing? If you get a favor, aren't you afraid that the clan leader will come back in the future and the relationship with our family, Sanniang and the others will worsen?"

"It can't all depend on his will. What's the point of handing over so much ancestral property and family property to the staff?" Zhao Song said: "Not to mention your uncle, even the previous generation did not hand over the family property to outsiders. Take care of it.”

"That can't be left to Sanniang," Zhao Ming said, "Sanniang is already this old, and she will get married in two years."

"Isn't there still Erlang?" Zhao Song said: "This is not given to Sanniang, but to Erlang."

After all, Zhao Song still felt sorry for Zhao Erlang, feeling that as Zhao Changyu's grandson, he only received a small amount of assets, so much of which had to be put into Sanniang's dowry first.

When did the descendants of the Zhao family need to feel so aggrieved?

Zhao Ming looked at his father helplessly, "Father, you underestimate Sanniang and trust Sanniang too much."

Zhao Song looked at him with contempt and said: "You underestimate your uncle too much. Since he dares to hand over Erlang's assets to Sanniang, it shows that he absolutely trusts Sanniang."

To put it bluntly, Zhao Song believed in Zhao Changyu.

See you tonight
