Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 320 Pang Buwei! (4k ha)
The two brothers sat together and sighed. Suddenly Pang Yuankai asked, "Second brother, do you think that Minister Su will be okay in the future?"

Pang Yuanying didn't understand what Pang Yuankai meant, so he asked, "What's good or bad?"

Pang Yuankai said: "I heard that Minister Su made great contributions in the northwest, but he was ostracized and all his assignments were dismissed. He could only live a miserable life in the Hanlin Academy.

Later, with the recommendation of his uncle, he became the emperor's imperial tutor, but was given the position of Minister of Works, which was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. Everyone knew that the Ministry of Works had been in decline for a long time and had long been a desolate place where dissidents were exiled.

Alas, how miserable! A rising star who was full of vigor and ambition at a young age has become like this in the blink of an eye. Look, a Shangshu is actually personally involved in these operations."

Pang Yuankai looked at Pang Yuanying seriously and said, "I just want to ask you, second brother, do you think Su Yun can be okay?"

Pang Yuanying frowned immediately, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Third brother, do you mean to stir up trouble?"

Pang Yuankai nodded and said, "There are many people who add icing on the cake. When people are proud, there are naturally people who flatter them, but the help when they are down and out can really leave a deep impression.

The children of our Pang family are not good at studying. If we don’t make preparations early, I’m afraid the next generation will be ruined. Therefore, we need someone to support them.

The people in power at the moment are either too old and frail to work for many more years, or their families are so large that we can't help them much. But Su Yun is only twenty years old, and he's already a minister. What about the next forty or fifty years? If the children of our Pang family can be taken care of by him, hehe.

So, I just want to ask you, second brother, do you think Su Yun can get better?"

Pang Yuanying seemed to be having trouble making a decision, and after thinking for a while he said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say, the court is too chaotic right now, it's hard to see through it.

Before, the New Party led by Wang, Cai, Zhang and others was at its peak, but as soon as the previous emperor passed away, the New Party immediately withered away like rain hitting banana leaves in an instant.

However, it is not entirely true to conclude that the current court will be dominated by the new party in the future. The New Party has only withdrawn from the central government, but they are still entrenched in the local areas.

The Empress Dowager Gao is in power now. She has always hated new laws, so she appointed Sima Gong to abolish all the new laws. But what about the emperor?

How can a son not admire his father? When his father's great achievements were destroyed in this way, doesn't the son have any thoughts at all?
The emperor is now ten years old. In another six or seven years, it will be time for him to take charge of the government. Who knows what he will think by then?"

Pang Yuankai immediately grasped the point and asked, "Is the young master dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Gao?"

Even at home, Pang Yuanying was still a little nervous and said, "Keep your voice down. Don't say this outside."

Pang Yuankai lowered his voice and said, "I know. We are at home, aren't we? Second brother, is the young emperor really dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Gao?"

Pang Yuanying nodded and lowered his voice and said, "I recently heard a piece of news that the Empress Dowager Gao saw that the official's desk was old, so she didn't think much about it and asked someone to throw it away and replace it with a new one.

A few days later, Empress Dowager Gao went to see the emperor studying again and found that he was still sitting at the old desk.

She was very confused and asked what was going on. The official said: This is the table that your father used.

It is said that the two lecturers Fan and Lu broke out in sweat at that moment.

Pang Yuankai's eyes lit up, and he said, "The emperor has a deep affection for his son. I'm afraid it's really as you said. In the future, the emperor will restart the new law, and the New Party will be reused, and Su Yun is even more likely to be reused!"

Pang Yuanying nodded and said, "There is another thing. One day, there was a sudden news that the palace was looking for a few wet nurses.

Some people speculated that the emperor, who was only ten years old, had an affair with a palace maid, causing her to become pregnant, so he needed to find a wet nurse.

I don’t know what happened afterwards, but Empress Dowager Gao personally issued an edict to dispel the rumor: It was the little princess left by the late emperor who needed a wet nurse…”

At this point, Pang Yuanying looked a little strange, and said: "...It is said that when the emperor woke up, he found that the twenty or so palace maids who served him had all disappeared, and there were only new faces around him."

Pang Yuankai's face changed when he heard this, and he whispered, "If these two things are true, I'm afraid even the Gao family will not have a good ending in the future."

Pang Yuanying nodded and whispered, "Although the official family is small, it is impossible for him not to feel resentful when being treated like this. Haha, six or seven years later..."

Pang Yuankai said decisively: "Second brother, I want to invest in Minister Su!"

Pang Yuanying was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you invest one million strings of cash?"

Pang Yuankai chuckled and said, "That's just a stepping stone. I want to follow the example of Lu Buwei of the Qin Dynasty and invest all my money in Minister Su!"

Pang Yuanying frowned immediately. He knew that his cousin had always been extremely daring and had a great spirit of adventure.

Seeing his cousin frown, Pang Yuankai quickly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Pang Yuanying said: "It's very risky."

Pang Yuankai smiled and said, "But the benefits are also high. Our Pang family's children are not good at studying. If we, as elders, don't pave the way for them, then we will soon be in decline.

I guess you can only provide protection for Jingsun, what about others?

So, brother, we have to fight hard!"

Pang Yuanying thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "I really don't agree to this opportunity, then I will do as you say, and if there is anything you need from me, just tell me."

When Pang Yuankai saw that Pang Yuanying agreed, he was overjoyed and said, "Great! Second brother, maybe this is the time for our Pang family to rise!"

With Pang Yuanying's permission, Pang Yuankai came to the Ministry of Works again the next day. When Su Yun saw Pang Yuankai, he was surprised and asked, "Mr. Pang, why are you here again?"

Pang Yuankai smiled and said, "Didn't you decide to invest yesterday? Today I searched the house and found 500,000 strings of gold, silver, and banknotes, and sent them to you today."

Su Yun was surprised and said, "So fast, but the contract and other things are not ready yet."

Pang Yuankai smiled and said, "That's secondary. I'll send the money to you first, and the contract can be signed by other people later." Su Yun looked at Pang Yuankai seriously, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, since Mr. Pang trusts me so much, I'll accept the money. I'll write you a receipt."

Pang Yuankai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I trust Minister Su, so there is no need for a receipt."

Su Yun smiled even warmer, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

Pang Yuankai quickly called someone in and handed over the property to Su Yun. He was about to leave, but Su Yun stopped him and asked, "Mr. Pang, do you have anything else to do?"

Pang Yuankai was stunned and said, "No, I'm planning to go home now."

Su Yun nodded and said, "If you have time, you might as well stay and accompany me to meet the guests."

Pang Yuankai was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He naturally understood that Su Yun understood what he meant, and after receiving his property, he immediately used this method to express his position.

Pang Yuankai didn't sit down this time. He stood up and stood beside Su Yun, standing respectfully. Su Yun didn't ask him to sit down anymore. Pang Yuankai not only didn't feel bad, but felt very happy.

What surprised Pang Yuankai next was that he actually knew the person who came. He was the largest silk merchant in Bian Jing, named Guo Wenyu. Although the two were in different industries, they were both businessmen and leaders in their respective industries. Naturally, they had met each other on certain occasions.

Then he looked at Su Yun and laughed softly, which made Guo Wenyu, who was known for his shrewdness, stunned. Then he bought half of the shares for 1.2 million strings of cash.

Pang Yuankai was both delighted and secretly astonished, thinking that his own Minister Su's methods were truly extraordinary. Thinking back, he had probably followed the same method as Guo Wenyu yesterday. He seemed cautious, but in fact, he was played around by Minister Su. Oh, maybe he was even worse than Guo Wenyu!

cough!
However, Pang Yuankai did not feel resentful, but was happy about it instead.

As an opponent, one would naturally be afraid of the opponent's cunning, but as a teammate, the stronger the better.

Pang Yuankai wanted to invest in Su Yun and use him as a support for the future of the Pang family's children. If Su Yun's talents were mediocre, he would not be a good investment target. But now it seems that Su Yun's talents are indeed as high as the legend!

Pang Yuankai couldn't imagine that such a person could be completely crushed to death in the next few decades. This was absolutely impossible!
Look at the current situation. Other members of the New Party have been exiled to local areas, but Su Yun is still jumping around in the court. If his opponents want to exclude him, they have to use some means of promoting him in public but demoting him in private to promote him to the position of Minister of Works.

Hehe, such a person will be able to thrive no matter whether the old party or the new party is in power. He may even be an evergreen in the political arena in the future. With such a person protecting them, why should the Pang family worry about its decline?

In this case, it is natural to increase investment!

After Guo Wenyu left, Pang Wenkai approached Su Yun and said, "Minister Su, is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me."

Su Yun looked at Pang Wenkai carefully and said with a smile, "Mr. Pang, do you have anything to ask for?"

Pang Wenkai quickly said: "I just want to help."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Pang, why don't you explain it clearly? There's no need for us to hide anything."

Upon hearing this, Pang Wenkai hurriedly said, "Minister Su, I just want to do more for you. If you are in power in the future, I hope you can take care of my Pang family members. If you need my Pang family to do anything now, please just tell me."

Su Yun had previously guessed that Pang Wenkai had some suspicions, and now that Pang Wenkai had made it clear, Su Yun was not surprised.

The reason why Su Yun first approached the Pang family was, of course, to win over the Pang family. Hearing this, he was also somewhat delighted and said with a smile, "I see. I'll take this on."

Pang Wenkai was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "Shangshu, I will stay by your side from now on."

Su Yun smiled and said, "No need. You have a lot of things to do. Find a smart kid to come to the Ministry of Industry to work. If there is anything, I will let him contact you. I will also let him learn something so that he can achieve something in the future."

Pang Wenkai was even more delighted at this moment. This meant that Su Yun was planning to train the children of the Pang family. If he could learn a few tricks from Su Yun, he would be capable in officialdom in the future.

Pang Wenkai thanked him repeatedly and then went back to Pang Yuanying to discuss with him. His idea was to let Pang Jingsun go. Pang Jingsun was Pang Yuanying's eldest son. If Pang Jingsun went, it would also put Pang Yuanying and Su Yun in touch.

After hearing this, Pang Yuanying pondered for a while and said, "This is a good opportunity, let Ning Sun go."

Pang Ningsun is Pang Wenkai's eldest son.

Pang Wenkai said with a smile: "Ning Sun doesn't have the brains to do that. Jing Sun is smart and has seen and heard a lot about officialdom. Let Jing Sun go. He can learn more and show your attitude. Isn't that better?"

Pang Yuanying was a little embarrassed and said, "I already felt very bad for giving half of your shares to Jingsun. Now I'm giving Jingsun another chance. How can I accept this?"

Pang Yuankai smiled and said, "Without my second brother's care, how could I have been able to do this business for so many years? When Jing Sun goes up to heaven, will he not take care of Ning Sun?"

Pang Yuanying nodded, turned around and went outside to give instructions. After a while, Pang Jingsun came and said, "Dad, Third Uncle."

Pang Yuanying told Pang Jingsun about the incident, and Pang Jingsun was very happy. Pang Yuanying continued, "...Jingsun, kowtow to your uncle and remember this. Your uncle will not only give you half of the shares of Qingming Shanghe Garden, but also give you the opportunity to study with Minister Su. You must remember this favor in your heart. When you become successful in the future, you must never forget your uncle's kindness, and you must remember your brother Ningsun."

Pang Jingsun quickly knelt down with Pang Yuankai and said, "Uncle San, I will always remember your kindness. However, there is one thing I must make clear. Even if this did not happen, I will definitely take care of Ningsun if I have a promising future. It's not for anything else, but because he is my brother!"

Pang Yuankai quickly helped his nephew up, tears welling up in his eyes, and said, "Third uncle was right about you. You are just like second brother, acting like a big brother. Your father didn't seek anything, but he still took care of third uncle for decades.

What Third Uncle gave you was not a favor, but a way of repaying a favor. If it weren't for your father's care for decades, Third Uncle wouldn't be where he is today!"

Seeing the deep affection between his uncle and nephew, Pang Yuanying couldn't help but stroke his beard with satisfaction. This was the cohesion of the family. Although there had been no academically talented people in the Pang family since their father, they were first-rate in terms of worldly affairs and mutual unity. Such a family could not fail!
On the second day, Pang Yuankai took Pang Jingsun to the Ministry of Works to find Su Yun. Su Yun directly handed Pang Jingsun to Ahui to take care of.

The team led by Ahui is a place where you can really learn skills. If Pang Jingsun can follow Ahui and his team to complete the Qingming Shanghe Park project completely, he will be completely transformed.

Working on this kind of project is very challenging. If a college graduate can complete one or two projects in such a large project department, his or her professional qualities and abilities will have a solid foundation.
