Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 214 It’s time to shine!
Ah Hui said, "Ah Yun, the vegetable shop we opened before had an annual income of several million guan, but it was directly given to the imperial court. Now, can't this Liulichang be incorporated into our own Su Mansion?"

Su Yun laughed and scolded, "Our family is not short of money. Besides, why do we need so much money? You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die."

Egg-filled pancakes have begun to spread to Kaifeng prefecture, counties and cities. There are more than 600 egg-filled pancake stalls, and the monthly profit has nearly doubled.

What is the key point is that as Ah Hui and his men fought against the local tigers, they gradually gained control of the supply chains of some vegetable markets, especially in Dongcheng. Now most of the supply chains are in their hands.

Ah Hui and Ah Hu have been planning to buy a ship and open a freight company.

Although these businesses are still in the process of integration and require continuous investment, the profits are still very substantial.

Su Yun handed these over to Zhang Ruo to take care of. Last time, Zhang Ruo sorted them out and said that the current monthly income is at least this much... 200,000 strings of cash?
Su Yun didn't care too much. With so much money, there was no point in being more greedy.

Su Yun was very rich in his previous life, so he knew that when money reaches a certain level, the marginal benefit of increasing happiness is actually very low. Therefore, there is no point in keeping this wealth to himself. Instead, it would be much more interesting to use it to do something else.

For example, the vegetable cave was given to the court, and Zhao Xu promoted himself three levels.

If this Liulichang can successfully produce glass, it will absorb a large number of refugees to work in the Liulichang. The output of the Liulichang can support several large nursing homes and feed the elderly who have lost their labor force. These nursing homes can also absorb a large number of service personnel.

This is at least a good thing that can benefit tens of thousands of people.

Compared to earning more money from Liulichang, this matter might make Su Yun happier.

The incident in Yongle City had a profound impact on Su Yun.

Before, when all the civil and military officials in the court were trying to persuade Zhao Xu, Su Yun thought it was useless and stopped trying. After the defeat in Yongle City, Su Yun felt very regretful in his heart - whether he could persuade Zhao Xu or not was another matter, but if he did it first, it would be considered as fulfilling his wish. Maybe Zhao Xu would listen to his advice?
In other words, since he knew that Xu Xi would do such a stupid thing and would bring disaster to so many people, could he just kill Xu Xi first?

It is obvious that I can do more, but I just don't do it. I comfort myself by saying that other senior officials haven't persuaded me anyway, so I won't persuade them and protect myself. It is easy to understand, right?
But now it seems that Su Yun regrets it.

Su Yun decided to be more positive and proactive. If he saw something that he thought was not good, he would change it and improve it.

Just as Lu Xun said, I hope all Chinese youth can get rid of their coldness, just move forward, don't listen to the words of those who give up on themselves, give out a little light if you have a little heat, and don't have to wait for a torch; if there is no torch in the future, I would like to be the only light.

When Zhang Ruo heard about Su Yun's plan, she not only did not show any surprise, but was very positive and took the initiative to help Su Yun take care of the matter.

Su Yun was somewhat puzzled by Zhang Ruo's attitude and said, "Sister Ruo, once this Liuli Factory develops glass, its revenue may not be less than that of Caidongzi. Don't you think it's a pity?"

At this time, Zhang Ruo's difference from other women was revealed. She said with a smile, "Fan Wenzheng once said, 'You should worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy after the world is happy.' My husband has such ambitions. Am I, as his wife, so vulgar?"

Su Yun laughed when he heard this, and felt that he had married the best wife in the world.

If he married an ordinary woman, who would be willing to give up the huge profits? The family would eventually become disharmonious.

Su Yun has big plans. He not only wants to clear out the desperate criminals in Wuyou Cave, but also wants to reduce the number of refugees in Wuyou Cave. Therefore, he must first develop the glass industry so that he can have money to make plans.

In this case, we cannot take action in a short period of time. We can only wait and see until Liulichang acquires us and successfully develops the glass before we can take action to destroy them.

However, the preparations are being carried out in full swing.

Things like acquiring Liulichang, recruiting highly skilled masters, relocating Liulichang, selecting a location for a nursing home, purchasing land, etc. were all put on the agenda.

The collection of information about the situation in Wuyou Cave did not stop. Moreover, with the arrival of winter, many refugees came out of Wuyou Cave and went to Futianyuan, which provided a good opportunity to collect a lot of information.

Deng Qi followed Su Yun around and found it very interesting to watch Su Yun work.

He found Su Yun's working method interesting. Ever since Su Yun decided to take action against Wuyou Cave, what he had been doing was to constantly collect various information, and then classify and count them.

Then, based on the summary, another round of investigation is conducted. When the results come out, it is the same, so analysis is carried out again, and then another investigation is conducted.

Deng Qi looked at Su Yun's actions and didn't quite understand at first, but as the investigation went deeper step by step, the situation in Wuyou Cave was almost as clear as reading the lines on the palm of your hand, and Deng Qi was convinced.

Up to this point, the routes and maps inside the Worry-Free Cave, the hiding places dug out, the ghost markets, forces, leaders of the forces, the number of abducted women and children, etc., may have some discrepancies, but they are already shockingly detailed.

Deng Qi suspected that if he was given this thing and some imperial guards, he would be able to sweep Wuyou Cave.

Seeing this, Deng Qi's admiration for Su Yun increased.

Deng Qi naturally didn't know that Su Yun's working method was borrowed from the working methods of teachers in later generations. He would investigate everything first, then practice after the investigation, and then summarize and investigate again after the practice. By repeating this process over and over again, there would be nothing that could not be solved.

When people feel unsure about something, it is usually because you don't understand the ambiguities in it. Once you understand the ambiguities, there is nothing difficult to solve.

This is the working method of investigation-practice-investigation-practice again.

If Xu Xi could master this working method, he would not be so reckless. He would not be so determined to defend Yongle City despite many people's opposition, which led to a great defeat.

Just when Su Yun was busy investigating Wuyou Cave and acquiring Liulichang, he received an invitation.

"Xu Jin?" Su Yun looked at the name on the invitation and remembered the commander of the imperial guards he met that day when he was fighting against bandits. "Why did he invite me to dinner?"

Su Yun was a little confused. After all, they just met by chance, and one was a civil servant and the other was a military general, so they didn't interfere with each other.

But Su Yun still decided to go and take a look.

Su Yun was still somewhat curious about the group of Song Dynasty generals, and wanted to get in touch with them to see their level.

If it were before, he might not have gone, but after Yongle City, his thoughts changed.

There are some things that you can't avoid just because you want to.

The defeat of Yongle City was a warning.

The Song Dynasty suffered a great defeat this time, which was quite devastating to it, but it did not shake the foundation of the country. However, 200,000 people died after all.

The Jingkang Incident will happen only forty years from now, and I will be around sixty years old by then. When the world turns upside down, will I run to the south of the Yangtze River in advance and watch the north devastate and tens of millions of people being slaughtered like pigs and dogs?

Su Yun is just a little lazy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the national cause.

He just didn't realize it before.

The defeat of Yongle City and the tragic death of 200,000 Song people sounded a wake-up call for him that some things really cannot be avoided.

He can hide in Jiangnan, but can he escape the condemnation in his heart?
Since we can't hide, we can only face the challenge head on.

……

Fan Lou.

It was already the dead of winter, but Fanlou was becoming more prosperous.

The Fan Tower is brightly lit and magnificent.

Liu Xianglan has been feeling a little depressed lately. She doesn't know why, but she always feels listless and lacks energy.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and it was quite urgent.

Liu Xianglan got up and opened the door, and the person who came in was He Jiarui.

He Jiarui moved sideways past Liu Xianglan and sat down on the chair.

Liu Xianglan said, "Why are you here today? Nothing, don't hang around like this all the time."

He Jiarui smiled and said, "Of course there is something important. Su Yun will come to Fanlou tonight."

Liu Xianglan's eyes lit up: "Why would he come? He has basically not participated in any banquets since the last Lantern Festival."

He Jiarui shook his head and said, "It's not that he didn't. He was promoted three levels some time ago, but he drank with the people from the Southern Court a few times, but he didn't come to Fanlou.

This time he came to Fanlou with great difficulty, he must make good use of this opportunity. Hehe, wow, it’s only been a short time and he has already been promoted four levels.

It's a pity that I acted too late and was not decisive enough. Now she has married Zhang Dun's daughter."

Liu Xianglan shook her head and said, "That's fine. I'm not aiming to be his wife anyway. The key is to be close to him. Being a concubine is fine too."

He Jiarui nodded and said, "It's good that you can figure this out. We must get close to him quickly. Otherwise, with his promotion speed, it will not be easy to get close to him in the future."

Liu Xianglan nodded and said, "Don't worry, now that he's here, he can't escape."

Liu Xianglan was quite motivated.

He Jiarui walked to the window and looked for a while, then said, "Here we are, get ready."

Liu Xianglan immediately said, "You go out first. I need to change clothes and put on makeup right away. I have already found out which room I am in and who is coming with me, right?"

He Jiarui nodded and said, "Yulan Pavilion, the one who invited him to dinner was a Du Yuhou of the Imperial Guards, named Xu Jin."

Liu Xianglan laughed and said, "Okay, leave the rest to me."

He Jiarui smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
