Chapter 1109: Can You Generate Electricity? (Part 2) [Monthly Ticket Requested]
He Shu's words made the air freeze.
Shen Tang swept away the ease just now, and looked at He Shu with a heavy look in his eyes: "As a member of a noble family, you said such crazy and perverse words. Master He, can I regard it as a token of surrender?"
"Of course--" He Shu's smile was subtly prolonged, and his attitude was mysterious, "No! If this is considered a token of surrender, what kind of person would He be? It is true that I fought and lost, and it is true that I was not as skilled as others, but it is also true that I helped Shen Jun get rid of the hidden dangers of his confidants. Shen Jun, you should make decisions when you should."
He Shu's evaluation made Shen Tang laugh.
She had only heard people say that she was too cruel in these years, but she had never heard anyone say that she was tolerant of noble families. The person who made the evaluation was still the head of the noble family, which made it difficult to evaluate. Depriving the clan land and checking the tenants were the most ruthless knives that Shen Tang had made without turning the table. If it was more serious, I don't know how many people would attack her!
There are quite a few noble families in the court of Kangguo.
The country cannot function without them. Before someone who can completely replace them appears, she cannot stab them to death with a knife.
She was indifferent to He Shu's instigation.
Just kidding, if Shen Tang agreed with He Shu's words, it would not only be a tacit consent to He Shu's future affiliation, but also take the blame for He Shu's massacre of the Shangnan County family. As long as he takes the blame, if Shen Tang wants to expand the territory again, the powerful families will be the most fiercely resisting group. The family group has a certain weakness and will bend its knees for the benefit, but when their interests are touched, they will also burst out with terrifying destructive power.
Even willing to die in glory rather than in disgrace.
Willing to sacrifice one person to preserve the interests of the family.
During the years when Shen Tang was the king, she frequently dealt with the family, and occasionally she would break into a cold sweat - she was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers when she held the Hongmen Feast for the family that year. Even if time goes back, she will still make the same choice.
If the family is not suppressed, Kangguo will not develop.
In recent years, the noble families have been very well behaved.
There were some small moves behind the scenes, but they were all solved by Shen Tang with the help of the Imperial Censorate. In the current record of the two sides, Shen Tang won more and lost less, and did not suffer much. She knew in her heart that the calm was only temporary, and she would completely solve them sooner or later.
Although she had the idea of overturning the table in her heart, she was still friendly in her actions.
Therefore, Shen Tang refused the shit pot thrown by He Shu.
"Power lies in invariance, benefit lies in time, opportunity lies in response to events, and war lies in control of qi... Whether it is governing the country or marching and fighting, the principles are the same. It is true that you should make a decision when you should, but you must make it at the right time." Shen Tang said, "The time is not ripe now. I just don't understand why the head of the He family, as the head of the family, would go against his own interests?"
Shen Tang deliberately changed the subject.
According to He Shu's mental journey, if he did not lie, Shen Tang could barely understand his transformation. Generally speaking, He Shu could not really integrate into the interest group of the noble family because of his special situation. He could be abandoned and criticized at any time, and coupled with the psychological trauma left by no one paying attention to him and no sense of existence in his childhood, he desperately hopes to be accepted.
Only in this way can he get a little sense of security.
Cui Xiao's situation is somewhat similar. He longs to be noticed, longs to be recognized, and even more longs to be accepted by his master. The trust and sense of security that Shen Tang gave him are what Wu Xian never gave.
Shen Tang understands this and has been trying his best to satisfy him.
He Shu cannot get this sense of security from his family and relatives, and he has never regarded himself as a part of the group in his heart. Naturally, he can look at problems more rationally and jump out of the limitations of class. Although he can see clearly, it is unexpected that he betrays his class so thoroughly.
You must know that He Shu is a vested interest as the head of the family.
He Shu looked at Shen Tang with complicated eyes.
He said faintly: "Mr. Shen is really not a likable person."
The question asked is too offensive.
Shen Tang didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, she just wanted to dodge the question - after a conversation, she didn't really want to recruit He Shu, at least not suitable for Kangguo at the moment, He Shu's contradictions were too sharp, even if she wanted to use this person, she had to wait until she really cut the main artery of the family - He Shu put on a heart-to-heart talk, some things he didn't even say to He Xin.
He Shu talked about an old story.
The He family he belonged to was just a branch of the ancestors.
Dazong had run a large-scale tea business in the early years. Although it was only one of the income of the family, there were tens of thousands of acres of tea fields and countless tenants. After his branch was separated, it also got some family property. He Shu took over the family and carefully understood the experience of Dazong in this part, and found that the branch account was wrong.
Shen Tang asked politely: "What's wrong?"
He Shu said: "It's the price."
The scale of the tea field was expanded by acquisition and land reclamation.
The acquisition price was low, and the land reclamation expenditure was surprisingly small.
He Shu thought someone had falsified the accounts, so he did not choose to alert the enemy, but concealed his identity and went to investigate on the spot. As a result, he discovered the real reason for the low book price! The person in charge of this matter had falsified the accounts, and the book price made by the other party was 60% higher than the actual expenditure, which means that the other party pocketed 60%.
60% higher, but the book price was still low.
"Mr. Shen, have you ever heard of the 'Monkey Game in Lustful Dreams'?"
Shen Tang's face sank, and he understood what was going on.
"The corrupt person set up a game, using extremely low prices to arouse the greed of the common people, and colluded with local officials to frame them for stealing silver and seizing the land that should have belonged to the common people. This was not enough to settle the trouble, and those who had land sold their land, and those who had no land could only sell themselves, and even a few families were forced to hang themselves."
When He Shu learned of the matter, he dealt with the person in charge immediately.
Return the tea fields and the silver.
This is what He Shu should do.
As a result, nearly a thousand people knelt down and worshiped him that day. The old man with gray hair and beard was so excited that he broke his forehead, and everyone cried with joy.
This is the first time He Shu has faced this absurd atmosphere.
He is the head of the He family and the chief culprit. He is praised and worshiped, but they just get back what belongs to them, and they have to kowtow to others and shed tears of gratitude.
Have they forgotten the pain of these years?
He Shu asked back: "What did Mr. Shen think after hearing this?"
"They can easily give you the sense of security you want."
There is intrigue within the aristocratic family. A small branch of the He family can set up a tea business and harm thousands of people. They are all evil-minded and can turn their backs on others at any time for the sake of profit. In comparison, the recognition and gratitude of the common people are too easy. get.
He Shu: "..."
Shen Tang's sharp comment choked him up.
After a long while, he finally let out a breath: "Jun Shen, He is convinced that you are not a lovable master."
Shen Tang chuckled and said, "You also said that I am the master."
Since she is the master, it is natural for others to please her first.
Someone who wants her to put down her body to please...
At least it must be one of our own.
He Shu said no more words and just closed his eyes.
When the pair of dark eyes opened again, they were clear again, and there was a faint surprise that they would not be able to restrain themselves in the future. The eyes of these brothers were so distinguishable that Shen Tang recognized it at a glance as a congratulatory letter rather than a congratulatory statement: "Hao Gu, why did your eldest brother come back?"
He Xin was caught off guard and kicked out by his elder brother.
He said: "Brother said he doesn't want to talk to you anymore."
The only person who could make the eldest brother say "unlovable" twice in a row, apart from Qi Yuanliang back then, was Shen Youli in front of me.
Shen Tang curled his lips: "If you break your defense, you'll be cheating."
The congratulatory letter smiled a little awkwardly, not knowing how to speak.
My eldest brother's life is still in someone else's hands.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang failed to complete the congratulatory letter with the next sentence: "Haogu called himself a 'grassroots man' just now. He is still white. Are you interested in trying the country of Kang? Today, the country of Kang has strong national power and clear politics. The king and his ministers must work together to ensure that all their ancient talents are not wasted. "Look, do you want to consider it?"
The congratulatory letter was silent, and after the silence, he went to see Qi Shan again.
Qi Shan said: "The Lord is recruiting you."
The tone was a little sour.
Not to mention after the establishment of Kang State, even in the years before the establishment of Kang State, Shen Tang rarely recruited anyone directly. From the moment she entered the camp to now, she decided to recruit He Shu after just two or three conversations with He Shu, and He Shu didn't vomit blood even after knowing it.
He Xin seemed to have just come to his senses and was a little at a loss.
He said seriously: "The talent and knowledge of ordinary people are not as good as those of my elder brother."
If you really want to recruit someone, it should be your brother.
"Don't belittle yourself. As I said just now, if you don't have the same temperament and inconsistent ambitions, even if you are one out of ten thousand, what does it have to do with me? Meritism is true, but you must also look at the appropriateness. Doesn’t fit the company culture.”
As soon as she saw the eyes in the congratulatory letter, she knew that he was an honest man and he was definitely the chosen worker who worked overtime without complaining!
Shen Tang leaned forward and patted the back of his hand.
"It's good to be good like this."
He has clear eyes like a college student, so easy to deceive.
A congratulatory letter labeled "college student": "..."
He sighed and said: "... let the people think about this again."
He said so, but it was unlikely that he would refuse.
The letter of congratulation has indeed made a contribution, Shen Tang will not kill him, but He Shu is also a prisoner. According to what He Xin learned, Kang Guo would try every means to scrape off a layer of oil for such prisoners who could not be killed or recruited, either by paying money to redeem them or by creating enough value. If Shen Tang deliberately makes things difficult for others, this matter will not end well.
The best way is to agree to solicit.
"Well, think about it."
Shen and Tang didn't stay much longer. After leaving, Qi Shancai asked: "Why did the Lord suddenly go to solicit congratulatory letters?"
There was no such plan in the beginning.
“Good value for money.”
“Value for money?”
Shen Tang smiled and said: "He Haogu and He Buzuo, please don't think of acting separately in the short term. Even if I promise to expose this matter, are the remnants of the Shangnan families willing to let it go? If you want to calm down the matter, 'He Shu' is not dead to the outside world. His whereabouts are unknown. Soliciting a congratulatory letter is equivalent to getting a congratulatory letter for free...without any salary!"
The brothers can take turns working overtime.
He Shu's way of being a scribe is something I am also very fond of.
Even if it is for his scribe's way, he must live until Luan Xin's scribe's way is perfected in order to maximize his benefits.
Qishan: "..."
As expected, he had no hope of reporting to the Lord.
Shen Tang said in high spirits: "Besides that, He Shu has other uses. There are too many things that can be studied in his way of being a scribe... If the supervisor can make use of it, he can artificially create similar objects... Yuan Liang, have you ever thought about this?”
Can these thunderstorms be used appropriately?
Qishan naturally didn't think of this. He didn't even know what the sky thunder could be used for. How could he use them to bomb the enemy?
Shen Tang waved his hand: "We'll find out later."
He Shu is simply a walking power plant!
Before she left, she deliberately mentioned that she could not stay in Shannan for a long time. He Xin heard the underlying meaning and knew that he would only have one night to think about it. He sat in the tent to discuss with his elder brother. The two brothers were distracted until a message from outside the tent interrupted the conversation.
He Shu said: [It has not been an hour. 】
The congratulatory letter responded mildly: [Ask what you want first. 】
Outside the tent, the soldiers clasped their fists and saluted.
The news brought by the soldiers successfully angered He Shu.
Congratulatory letter heard his brother roaring: [Pray! Yuan! good! 】
Every word, gritted teeth.
Listening to the tone, I want to eat people alive!
He Xin understands his brother, Qi Shan is indeed hateful.
This guy actually concealed the truth and robbed his whole family.
My wife and children are all here.
Now, even if you don’t agree to the congratulatory letter, you have to agree.
Shen Tang also got the news on the back foot and suddenly turned to look at Qi Shan. Don't blame her for her reaction. Calculating the schedule with her fingers, the He family could not have picked her up in the past few days. It was most likely around the time the Battle of Shangnan started. Qishan's answer also confirmed her guess: "I am convinced that the enemy is He Buzuo, so I will arrange for someone to pick him up."
Taking control of the hostage is simple and to the point.
"Arrange someone to pick him up? Are you really not using force to rob him?"
Qi Shan looked like he had been wronged.
"How could Shan use force against women, children, the elderly and the weak?"
Evil plots also have a bottom line.
Qishan added: "At most, I used a little strategy."
Shen Tang was curious about the content of the plan.
"Trick her here with a letter of congratulations."
To be precise, it was a letter from home disguised as a congratulatory letter.
Shen Tang: "..."
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.
Consider every word carefully, why is there so much information?
"Are you sure it's a letter of congratulations rather than a letter of congratulations?"
Qishan asked, "What's the difference between the two?"
Five words successfully silenced Shen Tang.
Qi Shan remembered that he was still alone from the head of the family and had no understanding of men and women. He couldn't accept this strange pattern for a while. He explained: "The situation of the He Shu brothers is destined that one of them is a human being and the other is a temporary person incarnated with literary spirit." The carrier, I think, knows that it is impossible for them to start a family separately. The truth cannot be known to the outside world, but it cannot be hidden from the people next to me."
"so?"
"It's just what the Lord thought."
Shen Tang: "...She also accepts it?"
Qishan didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "More than accepting it, it is normal for a woman from aristocratic family to have one or two close friends before marriage... It is also normal for her to be attracted to two men at the same time..."
In troubled times, aristocratic families have always had low requirements for married women - it's okay to have a close friend before marriage, but not after marriage; when you step into the door of your husband's family, don't have the flesh and blood of an outsider in your belly.
Marriage between aristocratic families is for profit cooperation, and marriage is nothing but a hub. A good relationship between married couples is the best, but they can make do with a bad relationship. The woman was willing to accept the situation of He Shu brothers, and at the same time she was attracted to the two men and got along well with each other. Shouldn't He be grateful for this?
Shen Tang: "..."
