Chapter 162 Ji Zi becomes the leader of the alliance!
After hearing Shen Yongjia's words "not the leader of the alliance," Lin Daguan became a little more serious.
And he was very surprised and asked the Second Master Shen: "Why don't you want to be the leader of the alliance?"
"Then why should I be the leader?" Shen Yongjia asked, "What necessary reason is there?"
Lin Tailai sighed: "Shouldn't you ask yourself this question?"
Shen Yongjia replied provocatively: "You run this update club from the beginning to the end. What can the leader do to me?"
Even without this leader, I, Shen Yongjia, am still Shen Yongjia!"
Lin Tailai turned around and left without saying a word.
Shen Yongjia waved his fan, as if he wanted to stop Lin Tailai, but he didn't say anything.
Without even a formality of three resignations and three invitations, he just casually worshiped himself as the leader of the alliance. It is such a lack of respect!
I just expressed my dissatisfaction with the program, but in the end I didn't get even a word of persuasion. This update agency is so insincere!
Even if you are a passive leader, you still need dignity!
Even without help from others, he, Second Young Master Shen, still has his own career!
The next day, the Second Young Master Shen called his servants and went out to the Shen Family Yi Zhuang to inspect his business.
In the first half of this year, Mr. Shen arranged to plant sugar beets, a cash crop. Now that the harvest is complete, it is time to check the benefits.
After Ma Yingming, the former Guanzhuang, was recruited to Mudu Port Customs, Ji Jiangyuan, the original owner of Yizhuang, was promoted to Guanzhuang and was responsible for all aspects of the work.
Seeing the Second Master Shen coming to inspect, Jiang Guanzhuang quickly came out of the village to greet him.
Second Young Master Shen asked: "The beet harvest in the first half of the year."
"Those beets are not important!" Jiang Guanzhuang replied happily.
Shen Yongjia almost wanted to dismiss this ignorant Guanzhuang on the spot. He dared to say that the cash crop industry he had painstakingly arranged was not important!
Jiang Guanzhuang did not notice any change in the face of Second Master Shen, and continued:
"Ever since Er Ye became the leader of the Renewal Society, the people in Anletang said that from now on we will be one family with Yizhuang!
As long as you don’t have any objections, Second Master, I will first help occupy the official land this year, try to double the size of the Yizhuang land, and then hide more of the money and grain that should be paid!"
Shen Yongjia: "."
Jiang Guanzhuang patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Second Master, I will handle the matter properly and prevent others from getting caught easily!"
Shen Yongjia scolded: "I don't want to be."
At this time, the surrounding villagers cheered in unison: "Second Lord, the leader of the Alliance is mighty!"
Isn't it because they took shelter in Shen's Yi Zhuang that their burdens on all aspects could be reduced and their net income increased?
Just when Shen Yongjia wanted to scold him, he discovered that among these villagers there were several distant relatives of the Shen family who were older than him.
What a bunch of vulgar people! Mr. Shen suddenly felt uninterested in inspecting the property, so he turned around and went back to the city.
As soon as I entered the inner house, I saw my wife, Mrs. Xu, happily looking at a banknote.
"Where did this come from?" Second Master Shen asked curiously.
Mrs. Xu replied: "It turns out that the manager of the village, Ma Yingming, sent it. He said that during the preliminary preparations for the customs, he made some profits, such as selling some jobs in Hekuai.
As the leader of the Renewal Society, my husband should also receive some dividends, so he sent this banknote."
Second Master Shen said subconsciously: "I can't accept this banknote!"
Xu asked in surprise: "Why can't you accept it? Don't you know, husband, that the family is short of money and has been unable to make ends meet in recent months?
These banknotes just meet an urgent need, and I heard that there will be more money in the future, so I should accept it the first time, so as to establish a routine."
Second Master Shen said angrily: "I told you that I don't want to be the leader of this alliance!"
Mrs. Xu, who was in charge of the household expenses, immediately raised her eyebrows and said even more angrily:
"My family's expenses have increased dramatically in recent months. Do I need to tell you why? But husbands are wives, and I tolerate it!
But where does money come from? A husband cannot just focus on expenditures and not on incomes. He only wants to use money and not make money!
How much expense can you afford just by relying on your hundred acres of beets?"
In terms of consumption, Mr. Shen knew he was in the wrong and had no shame to say anything else.
Xu thought of something and added: "Ma Yingming also said that the Mudu Port Customs House can equip a large ship, but it is no longer needed.
So we will park this extra large boat outside Changmen for our family to use for travel. This saves a lot of money!
Your fame is hopeless, and now you are not even qualified to be the leader of the alliance, so what else do you want to achieve?"
Xu's father was the former Minister of Rites, and Shen Yongjianeng did not beat and scold him at will.
So Mr. Shen had no choice but to run to the front hall, sit there and sulk, not even wanting to eat lunch.
Suddenly the family came to report that several old uncles from the Xu family in Huqiu and Fan Yunlin, the Xu family's son-in-law, came to visit him.
Because the ancestors of the Shen family were adopted sons of the wealthy businessman Xu family, the relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family is quite special, and they are more like relatives who compare with each other.
The Xu family, which has traditional psychological advantages, will not have too much respect for the Shen family like outsiders.
The Xu family does not respect the junior Shen Yongjia as much as outsiders do, and their attitude is more casual.
The old uncles of the Xu family and Fan Yunlin who came to visit today are all important stewards of the Xu family, each in charge of their own affairs.
But their attitude towards Second Young Master Shen today was respectful, as if they had met Shen Shoufu himself.
The oldest uncle from the Xu family said on behalf of everyone: "I need Master Jia to take care of me in the future."
Second Master Shen still thought about the previous attitudes of these "relatives" and snorted coldly: "What can I take care of?"
The old uncle from the Xu family laughed and said, "Master Jia was joking, but now you are the leader of the Update Society!
I heard that the Mudu Port Customs House and the Xujiang Waterway were later handed over to Xinxinshe to take care of them for the government.
If Master Jia doesn't take care of his own family, who can he take care of? Especially those who have business conflicts with his family, he can't take care of them!"
Shen Yongjia: "."
It turns out that these profit-seeking businessmen are eyeing the benefits of customs and waterways!
The Xu family in Huqiu has been doing business and getting rich for generations, and they all know profits very well!
In this way, Second Master Shen said with great courage: "I know your purpose of coming, but you are with the wrong family. I don't want to be the leader of this alliance!"
Fan Yunlin, the Xu family's adopted son-in-law, lost his voice and asked, "Why?"
Shen Yongjia didn't want to continue talking about the leader topic, he just wanted to see off his guests!
Then he said directly: "We are all members of our own family, so I will not speak outsiders. Lin Tailai is not very respectful to me!"
How can I lose my integrity as a human being and become the leader of this alliance? You are asking for my care, you are looking for the wrong person!"
The old uncles of the Xu family hurriedly tried to persuade each other: "Second Master Jia, you are in the Shen family, and now you are also the one in charge of the business.
Since you are doing business, you must not take your character too seriously. It is only right if it can help make profits!
I think you must be the leader of this alliance, don’t refuse!”
Seeing that none of these "relatives" could speak for him, Shen Yongjia said even more angrily: "Then you can become the leader of the alliance. Why are you forcing me to do anything?"
But an old uncle from the Xu family muttered: "What does it mean if you are not very respectful to me? If you are the leader of the alliance, I can kowtow three times!"
Master Shen felt desolate in his heart. How could the world's people become so bad?
One by one, for a small profit, they forced themselves to become alliance leaders!
Being disturbed by these people, but unable to keep his face and forcefully chase them away, Mr. Shen suddenly lost his temper:
"Unless Lin Tai comes to plead with me, I will never be the leader of this alliance!"
At this time, someone else came to report: "The magistrate Deng of this county, which is Wu County, wants to meet Mr. Shen at the Gusu Posthouse outside Xumen."
Although he didn't know why Magistrate Deng was looking for him, Shen Yongjia stood up immediately.
And he said to the old uncles of the Xu family: "You have all heard that if the county magistrate comes to see me, I will not be able to accompany you!"
Then Shen Yongjia hurriedly walked out. The old uncles from the Xu family shook their heads and went out helplessly.
Shen Mansion is relatively close to Changmen, so Shen Yongjia usually goes in and out of the city through Changmen.
But to go to Gusu Yi, it is closer to go out through Xumen. Then Mr. Shen encountered the evening rush hour and was stuck in Xumen for a long time.
After fighting all the way out of Xumen and crossing the Wannian Bridge on the moat, the road conditions relaxed.
Then he entered Nanhao Street and headed towards Gusu Station.
As the largest official guest house in Jiangnan, the accommodation conditions in Gusu Yi are still very luxurious and comfortable. Mr. Shen doesn't want to go home tonight, he just wants to get drunk in Gusu Yi.
When Mr. Shen was passing by the entrance of Shijia Lane on horseback, there was a sudden sound of cannon, and dozens of heroes shot out from the alley, surrounding Mr. Shen and his entourage.
Later, Lin Tailai also appeared from the alley, saluted Mr. Shen and said loudly: "Welcome our leader Shen to come to Xinxin Academy in person. I welcome you from afar!"
Second Master Shen: "."
The heroes who surrounded Shen Yongjia shouted together: "Ji Zi will be the leader of the alliance! Ji Zi will be the leader of the alliance!"
Ji Zi is another name for the youngest son. Shen Yongjia is the youngest son of Shen Shoufu.
Shen Yongjia shouted unceremoniously: "Lin Tailai! Go away!"
Lin Tailai walked up to Shen Yongjia and told others to stay away, and then he said, "Do you feel that the money in the house is becoming increasingly insufficient recently?"
Shen Yongjia said angrily: "You are in charge of too much! Do I need to talk to you about the affairs of my Shen family?"
Lin Tailai didn't take it seriously and continued: "In order to expand the Shen family and expand the family population, you have no choice but to keep concubines at home. It must be very expensive, right?
A small, insignificant charity can only meet the expenses by a drop in the bucket, so how can it meet the demand?"
Shen Yongjia had completely lost his noble demeanor and said simply and rudely: "It's none of your business!"
Lin Tailai still didn't take it seriously. He was completely unaffected by Master Shen's attitude and continued:
"If you are the Prime Minister of your country, one day you will return to your hometown with honor. How will you arrange it when the time comes?"
Shen Yongjia became even more irritable and yelled, "Get out of here!"
You, Lin Tailai, are the leader of a mafia gang. How will the chief assistant father take care of himself? Is it your turn to worry about it, Lin Tailai?
Lin Tailai turned a deaf ear, still blocking the road and refusing to go, and continued to say what he said:
"After our last pavilion king in Wu County came back, the Wang family bought three gardens for Wang Kuai to care for.
As the chief minister, Shen Xiang has a higher favor and honor than Wang Hao, so the repatriation treatment cannot be worse than that of Wang Hao, right?
Today's world is no longer as simple as it used to be. Luxury and extravagance are all the fashion, and simplicity will only be laughed at!
Therefore, as the son who is responsible for guarding the house, if you use a humble house and simple food to worship your father who was the chief minister, it will be regarded as unfilial, and you will have no face to see the world!"
Shen Yongjia: "."
Damn it! Why are you so stressed all of a sudden?
I am the youngest son who is responsible for managing the family's property. Why are you putting so much pressure on me?
If these words are spread out, if I don't do well in the future, how will others guide me!
Lin Tailai became more and more fluent in his speech, and further elaborated: "Besides, the Shen family has always been humble, and now it is even more important to think of ways to show off in front of others, so as to boost the family's reputation!
Thinking back then, Wu Kuan was only slightly lower in rank than Wang Hao, and he was still Wang Hao's senior. Why is Wu Kuan's voice now far inferior to Wang Hao's?
Look at the Bachelor Street named after Wang Hao, and look at the three gardens he left behind, don’t you understand the truth, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Yongjia felt speechless. Why is it that you, Lin Tailai, consider the affairs of the Shen family more carefully than he, the legitimate son of the Shen family?
Lin Tailai felt that the heat was almost there, so he summed it up and said: "So in short, it takes money to spread the branches and leaves of the family, it takes money to honor a noble father, and it also takes money to show off the family to future generations!"
No matter which one, it is related to your filial piety! In other words, if you want to achieve filial piety, you need a lot of money!
If you don't do it, it's unfilial! But where will the money you need for filial piety come from?"
After finishing speaking, Lin Siguan waved to the guys, and all the heroes shouted together again: "Ji Zi, be the leader! Ji Zi, be the leader!"
Shen Yongjia said stubbornly: "Get out of the way first! Things have their own priorities. I have to go to Gusuyi to see Magistrate Deng!"
But official Lin said: "Zhixian Deng is in the county government at this time. How can there be Zhixian Deng in Gusuyi?"
Shen Yongjia was stunned. This routine seemed inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it in history books!
He turned around and looked around again. I was afraid that the entire Nanhao Street had heard the shouting!
Then I heard Lin Tailai turn to the passers-by and say loudly:
"Leader Shen has agreed to support our renewal society's petition, and we hope that the neighbors will support it too!"
The passers-by onlookers also cheered scatteredly.
Shen Yongjia asked in a low voice: "What petition? What do you want to do?"
Lin Tailai replied: "It's okay. You just need to sign the petition. I can sign it for you."
Shen Yongjia said coldly: "If you don't tell me, it's just you and me!"
Lin Tailai then answered truthfully: "Don't you think Changmen and Xumen are too crowded?
So I think it is necessary to open a new city gate between Changmen and Xumen to alleviate congestion."
Shen Yongjia was speechless, how come you, Lin Tailai, have such a big brain? Why can you always come up with so many fantastic ideas out of thin air?
The key is that these fantastic ideas may seem outrageous, but actually they are feasible if you think about them carefully.
Lin Tailai thought about it: "Tell me, if I take over this project, how much profit dividend should I give you? I think 10% is a lot."
God give me a wonderful outline! I don’t want to write any more transitions!
