Ming politicians

Two days later, a visitor came to the Su residence.

This guest was actually Lei Fangui's father, Lei Wentong.

Lei Wentong is considered a gentry in Pingyang Fucheng. His three sons are all genuine scholars. The eldest son studied in the Imperial College and became a regular prisoner of the Imperial College as a child student. As for how this student was obtained, that's another story.

The reason why Lei Fangui dared to bully Su Tiancheng back then was because he was a student, and he was admitted as a student one year earlier than Su Tiancheng.

What makes Lei Wentong most proud is that his nephew is a Juren, and now he is an official in the Huguang De'an Mansion. Although he is only the master of the ninth rank, he is finally an official official of the imperial court.

The family of merchants must be respected for having so many scholars.

There is a commercial bank in Pingyang Prefecture. Because there are a large number of local merchants, the commercial bank has the role of management and coordination. Although it is a non-governmental organization, sometimes its authority is greater than that of the government. Lei Wentong is one of the heads of the commercial bank .

Speaking of which, Su Huawen is not even qualified to enter the firm.

Su Tiancheng already had an idea in his heart. He got some information from Lei Fangui two days ago. He estimated that after Lei Fangui went back, he would definitely sue, and it was just to add fuel to the matter.

When a child is bullied, they sue an adult and want to save face. This is what a kid does. Now it seems that Lei Fangui is just such a kid, an idiot.

If Lei Wentong never came to Su's residence, Su Tiancheng might still feel that Lei Wentong is not bad, knowing that his son is not very successful, and also has a clear understanding.

It's a pity that Lei Wentong came to Su's residence today.

Su Tiancheng's heart was full of contempt.

Lei Wentong looked like an elder.

"Kun Yuan, your parents have moved to Taiyuan Mansion. I wanted to talk to Boss Su about some things, but they can't manage the affairs of Pingyang Mansion City for the time being, so I just went to you directly."

"The affairs of Chengsu Mansion in Pingyang Mansion are naturally the responsibility of the younger generation. I don't know what's up with Boss Lei."

Lei Wentong's complexion was ugly. In front of Su Tiancheng, he didn't need to hide his emotions. In his opinion, Su Tiancheng was a little kid who didn't understand anything.When the juniors see the elders, they are all respectful, they say what they say, they don't ask what's the matter at all, this Su Tiancheng, isn't he too arrogant.

"Kun Yuan, I don't know if it's true about the tenants of the Su family."

"I don't know what Boss Lei is talking about about the tenants?"

Jiang is old and hot, and Lei Wentong can speak as expected, not because he wants to save face for Lei Fangui, but from the perspective of a tenant, to find his own problems, but this is nothing special.

"You, why are you talking to the old man like this? What else can you do? You sent grain, coarse salt, and seeds to the tenants, but there are such things."

"Yes, isn't Boss Lei planning to do the same? If there is any need, this junior knows everything."

"Okay, okay, good you Kunyuan, you passed the student exam, it's amazing, talking to the old man like this, don't you know the rules?"

"Boss Lei, this junior really doesn't know the rules. The tenants of the Su family are managed by the Su family. The junior sent food, salt and seeds to the tenants. Could it be that I did something wrong? The junior is not talented. , it seems that there is no such regulation. Please point it out.”

Lei Wentong's complexion was already very ugly.

He originally wanted to teach Su Tiancheng a good lesson, but he didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would dare to speak back, but he didn't expect that the Su Tiancheng in front of him would be so sharp-tongued that he would go against him everywhere.

"Kun Yuan, since you said that, the old man just said it straight, do you know that there is a business house in Pingyang Prefecture, and all business affairs are managed by the chamber of commerce."

"The juniors know that Boss Lei is still one of the heads of the chamber of commerce."

"Since you know about such things, you should also understand that the merchants in Pingyang Fucheng, including the merchants in the counties under its jurisdiction, must abide by the requirements put forward by the chamber of commerce."

"The younger generation knows that the chamber of commerce is supposed to guide and coordinate business matters."

"Since you know that such a big matter as giving grain and seeds to tenants, why do you decide without authorization? If you do this, where will the Chamber of Commerce be located? Do you think that Boss Su left Pingyang Fucheng, and your wings are hardened. "

"Boss Lei, this junior doesn't have such an idea."

Su Tiancheng secretly sneered, this Lei Wentong is really not simple, the old cunning is trying to set his own words, the Chamber of Commerce manages shops and merchants, he is a scholar, and he does not do business, so why should he listen to the Chamber of Commerce? Yes, if he debates from this aspect, wouldn't he admit that he is in business? If the magistrate finds out about this, he still doesn't know how to reprimand him.

"Oh, Kun Yuan, do you think you did something wrong when you say that?"

Su Tiancheng shook his head, and spoke slowly.

"Boss Lei, there are a few things that this junior needs to clarify, otherwise, Boss Lei will misunderstand, or this junior will offend, and something will happen and the impact will be bad."

"The first thing is that the younger generation is a scholar, not a businessman. My father has always been in business, and now he has moved to Taiyuan Prefecture. The younger generation just stays in the ancestral house and takes care of this place. From the first month until the Now, the younger generation has not done anything in business yet, so I don’t know what kind of consideration Boss Lei has for using the chamber of commerce to ask the younger generation.”

"The second thing is that my Ming Dynasty has strict requirements on personal identity. The division of each industry is also very clear. The identity of the tenants of the Su family is originally a tenant farmer. According to Boss Lei's intention, they This junior doesn’t understand this, but if Boss Lei has such an understanding, this junior can accompany Boss Lei to the government office to explain this matter and see how the magistrate made the decision.”

"The third thing is that the juniors send food, salt and seeds to the tenants. It is because of the continuous famine that the tenants' life is unsustainable. In order for them to farm well and live a good life, does Boss Lei think that , Juniors shouldn’t do this, then juniors will ask Boss Lei for advice, take a step back and say, Boss Lei is an elder, please advise, what should juniors do, watch tenants sell their sons and daughters, watch tenants starve dead?"

Lei Wentong looked at Su Tiancheng, dumbfounded, he never expected that Su Tiancheng would say such a thing.

If you don't express your opinion, don't answer, wouldn't you lose face, not to mention that there are still many people listening in this room.

"Well, you Kunyuan, you are full of nonsense, clever words, this old man came to Su's house today, he is your elder, saw some things of you, did not do well, kindly remind you, unexpectedly you are like this Attitude, the old man is angry."

"I don't know what Boss Lei wants to remind the younger generation about?"

Of course Su Tiancheng will not give up if he is justified and not forgiving.

"You, you, what the old man means is that you are told to be cautious and considerate when you do things. After all, you are a scholar, so you should think twice before doing things. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to deal with those tenants?"

"This statement is wrong. The juniors really don't understand. Thinking about the magistrate, he always emphasizes the need to be diligent in government and love the people. With a noble body, he goes to the farmer's house in person to drive out the cold and ask for warmth. Could it be said that the magistrate is out of control?" To save face, could it be said that the prefect should not deal with farmers, if the radar people have such a reminder, this junior thinks that you should seriously think about it."

Lei Wentong's face turned purple, the words he said today were full of loopholes, but this Su Tiancheng caught him, and refuted without politeness.

When he came to Su's residence, he didn't think of so much at all. What is Su Tiancheng? In his impression, he is cowardly and cowardly, and he can't speak in public.

Unexpectedly, the current Su Tiancheng is so powerful.

"Okay, okay, your wings are hardened, and the old man won't talk to you so much. I don't care about your affairs and the Su manor's affairs. I just ask, and you can do whatever you want."

Lei Wentong stood up, ready to leave.

"Boss Lei, walk slowly, the junior will not give it away, but the junior has a word, don't blame Boss Lei if you say it."

Lei Wentong turned his head to look at Su Tiancheng, with fire in his eyes.

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about other people's roofs. For some things, Boss Lei should ask Lei Fangui carefully to see what Mr. Ling has done."
