Chapter 174
In the final analysis, this is caused by the unequal status of the two parties.

The Wang family is a family of imperial examinations, and the He family is at most a wealthy businessman, the two are not in the same order of magnitude at all.

If there is no accident, it will be hello, hello, hello, everyone. If the two sides turn their faces, it will only be He Chang who suffers.And He Chang could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Xie Shen believed that if he really planned to cooperate with the Wang family, the Wang family would not agree to leave any evidence of the contract.

Of course, Xie Shen's identity is different from He Chang's.

Although Xie Shen is not an official, he is a scholar, and he is also a promising scholar.Even if he really cooperates with the Wang family, Xie Shen is not at a disadvantage psychologically.

Another very important point is that the Wang family is planning to invest money in Yuyao Xianming, which is very different from the cooperation with the He family.As long as the Wang family is willing to invest money, Xie Shen will not be passive.If it was a purely soft resource investment like the cooperation with the He family, then Xie Shen would have a headache.

Elder Wang Suwang nodded approvingly and said: "It seems that this is the only way to do it now. Nephew Xie Xian has great ambitions, and I admire you."

Xie Shen didn't know whether it was his courage or his meticulous logical deduction that moved Wang Su. All in all, this crisis of trust has been overcome.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed impossible for Wang Shouwen to know about it in advance.After all, Wang Shouwen is neither the eldest son nor an adult, so it is unlikely that Wang's family affairs will be informed to him.In other words, Wang Shouwen is at best an idler with a high status.

Wang Shouwen was the most wronged this time, being sandwiched between the Wang family and Xie Shen, suffering from the partition.
Xie Shen chatted with Wang Su for half a cup of tea, and found an excuse to leave the Wang family.

After returning home, Xie Shen fell headlong on the bed, looked at Haoyue outside the window and fell into deep thought after being washed by Shuiyun.

At first, he had been wondering how the Wang family got such a wealthy mansion, but now he finally understood that it was obtained through this kind of "cooperation".This should be the privilege of being an official.You must know that after Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he treated officials very harshly, and their salaries were very meager, and it was even difficult to support their families.

There is a saying that being an official for thousands of miles is just for food and clothing.Unable to meet even the most basic requirements of food and clothing, these officials will naturally seek other solutions, and cooperation with merchants is the best shortcut.

Take the big tea merchant He Chang as an example.What He Chang needs is nothing more than two things, one is public opinion propaganda, and the other is policy support.The propaganda of public opinion relies on word of mouth in the scholarly circle, but policy support is actually simpler, just a word from an official.

These tycoons are all elites who have gone through countless business battles. As long as the superiors do not obstruct them in every possible way, they can operate their products well.

The Wang family was able to provide these two things, so the two came together naturally.
Is this considered an exchange of benefits?

This was something that troubled Xie Shen a lot.After all, his ultimate goal is to become an official in the court, and one day he will also face such a choice.Do sages like Wang Hua and Wang Shouren have to bow down for five buckets of rice? He Xie Shen can jump out of the three realms, isn't he in the five elements?
From this point of view, Xie Shen was right to let his eldest brother Xie Fang expand the scope of business in advance.If the eldest brother manages well, at least he won't be too entangled when faced with such a thing.

Cooperation between officials is always safer than cooperation between officials and businessmen. In the final analysis, their core interests are the same.However, the cooperation between the government and businessmen is more temporary, and differences in core interests may lead to the dissolution of the partnership.

If you want to develop better, you have to work hard to climb up. If you are just a businessman and get tricked by others, you can only sigh in vain.

Xie Shen just fell asleep in such a daze, and when he woke up, Shui Yun had brought the basin to the room.

The boy rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up to wash up. He changed into a brand new royal blue Confucian shirt in front of the bronze mirror, and then he left the room and walked towards the dining room in satisfaction.

The whole family sat together and had breakfast, Xie Shen left the house alone with his cloth bag on his back.

Now that he has returned to Yuyao, he must go to the county to study.Going late is worse than going early, and going early can also show that you are eager to learn.

When Xie Shen came to the school, he happened to meet Wang Shouwen face to face.

Wang Shouwen was obviously still angry with Xie Shen for what happened last night, so he walked into the county school without saying hello to Xie Shen.

Xie Shen was naturally at fault for this matter, so he quickly followed after feeling guilty.

"Brother Shouwen, I'm to blame for what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you without understanding the matter clearly."

Xie Shen still has a lot of affection for Wang Shouwen, a good brother, and of course he doesn't want to hurt the relationship between the two of them because of some trivial matters.Good brothers don't have overnight feuds, the sooner this kind of misunderstanding is resolved, the better.If it drags on for a long time, it is inevitable that you will get frustrated.

Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "Are you sincere?"

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Brother Shouwen, don't you know my temperament? I say one thing and say another, and I am right and wrong. This matter is Xie's fault, and Xie is going to apologize to Brother Shouwen." .”

Wang Shouwen wasn't really angry with Xie Shen either. Hearing that Xie Shen took the initiative to apologize, he nodded and said, "It's not bad. You left last night, and my uncle left me behind for a long time, telling me not to get angry with you. .But I have to wait for you to come and apologize first."

"."

How does this make Xie Shen answer the call?Xie Shen could only smile slyly and said: "Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, so let's just expose this matter!"

The two arrived in front of Minglun Hall together, and saw that most of the students were already seated in the hall, so they hurried in.

When Xie Pi saw the two of them coming, he came forward to say hello, "Brother Shen, Brother Shouwen, why did you come here? Could it be that you have slept through?"

Wang Shouwen scratched his head and said, "I went to Hangzhou Mansion for half a month and lived a lazy life, and the rhythm was completely out of order. It's not bad to be able to get up today."

Seeing that Wang Shouwen had said everything he wanted to say, Xie Shen smiled and nodded.

In fact, the county school does not have strict regulations on the time for students to enter the school. As long as they greet the teacher well, there is no problem even if they don't come to the county school for a few days to go out to study.

But I know the situation at home, Xie Shen's skills are still not as good as those who have been scrambling in the Four Books and Five Classics for many years, so he should seize the time to check for omissions and make up for the gaps.

If he really has been wandering around for two years, it is not impossible to fail the provincial examination.

"Fortunately, you arrived at Minglun Hall one step earlier, otherwise if you run into Zheng Xundao, you will suffer."

Xie Pi shook his head and sighed.
