Dominate the ancient academy

When Sun He, the letter messenger, was five or six years old, his family suffered from drought and fled to Kyoto. He was the only one left, begging for a living on the roadside.

It was the eldest young master who took pity on him and brought him into the general's mansion, so he always wanted to work for the eldest young master. However, he was transferred by the housekeeper to serve his cousin, but he was actually unwilling to do so. His life belonged to the eldest young master, so he wanted to follow him.

But he was originally a servant, and if he was picky about the arrangements in the mansion, he would definitely displease his master, and the possibility of him being assigned to the eldest young master would be even lower.

The housekeeper said that the cousin was the master of the general's mansion, and asked him to serve well and be loyal. He said yes, but in his heart he thought that he would serve well, but he would not be loyal. He should be loyal to the eldest master, not the cousin who came from nowhere.

As a result, not long after, the eldest son specifically told him to take good care of the cousin son in the future, to put the cousin son first in everything, and to reward him handsomely if he served the cousin son well. If he disobeyed the order in secret, he would be sold at the very least, or beaten to death at the worst.

He had never thought of pretending to obey before, and what's more, the eldest young master has specifically instructed him that the cousin will be his master in the future and he must be loyal.

The eldest young master said he was loyal to the cousin young master, so he was loyal to the cousin young master. This time when the cousin young master delivered the letter, the people from the Dali Temple said they had to pass it on, but he was not happy about it. Later, the eldest young master's personal attendant came out to ask for it, but he did not give it to him. The cousin young master said that he must hand it to the eldest young master personally, so this letter was only given to the eldest young master, and no one else could touch it.

Sure enough, the eldest young master saw his performance and said directly: "You did a good job!" The eldest young master praised him, and he will definitely do better in the future.

When the eldest son decided to go to Yong'an Town in person to meet his cousin after reading the letter, he felt even more that he had done nothing wrong.

When Shu Tingyu received the letter, he thought someone had discovered his sister's identity and came to him for help. He had already thought of at least thirty countermeasures in his mind. However, after reading the content of the letter, he did not expect that his sister was so smart and had a way to protect Ma Ti. She was so smart, just like him.

Then the reason why Prince Yun came to the palace today and was later summoned by the ministers should be because of this matter. Since the emperor already knew about it, he didn't need to intervene. He lowered his head and thought about it. Since his sister was not in the academy now, he was not too busy, so he went back to his boss to ask for leave and prepared to go see his sister.

She performed so well, shouldn't she be praised? It was a pity that he didn't have much money, otherwise he could have given his sister some pocket money.

It seems I still need to make money, otherwise I won’t have any pocket money for my sister.

After Shu Xiaoxiao made sure that everything was put away, she went to the kitchen to see how much salt there was. She found that there was only about 20 kilograms of salt, which was enough for them for half a year. If all of it was used to filter fine salt, she would just pat her butt and go to the mountain. What would happen to the remaining two people in the mansion?

Filter half of it. The filtering ratio of coarse salt and fine salt is 10:1. 10 kilograms of coarse salt can filter out one kilogram of salt, which is enough for a family of three to eat for a month.

But there are only two people in the mansion now. Although the steps are simple, after walking around for an hour, she really doesn't want to move. Otherwise, she should go back and look for Senior Brother Yun. Huo Feng's people are very efficient, and Senior Brother Yun's identity is also very useful. She can just go directly to Senior Brother Yun for a one-stop service.

Salt is an important strategic material. It's fine if she wants to eat it herself, but she can't eat salt secretly every time, right? If she eats fine salt, will her mother eat it? Will her brother and sister-in-law eat it? And those classmates can't just watch her, right?

They ate so much, how could they hide it? If the emperor knew about it, he might never eat salt again.

Being rich alone is not considered rich. It is only when everyone is rich that it is considered rich. The same goes for salt. As long as you are not prepared to rebel, you certainly cannot eat alone.

Therefore, the Salt General's Mansion really couldn't get involved, and she couldn't get the salt privately. Moreover, this coarse salt was poisonous. Even if she was a saint, she really couldn't watch so many people eat this coarse salt knowing that it was poisonous.

It would be most appropriate to find Senior Brother Yun. After all, the emperor is behind him. If the emperor is open-minded, they can still make a fortune before fine salt becomes popular.

Used to develop sea salt, which is inexhaustible salt.

If everyone wants to eat fine salt, they have to come from the imperial court. The general's mansion cannot touch it at all, otherwise they might be finished if they are not careful.

Moreover, since ancient times, those who are more powerful than their masters have never had a good ending. Dad is already a general with a large army. Dad and brother can definitely handle the salt issue and other matters. As for what she wants to do, she just needs to let her eldest brother know about it.

Just when Shu Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, she seemed to see her elder brother walking towards her. She blinked and looked at the person who was getting closer and closer. It was really her elder brother.

Big brother, who gave two thousand taels of silver at a time, Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly jumped up, threw herself on Shu Tingyu and shouted: "Big brother, I missed you so much."

The Dali Temple Shaoqing, who always had a cold face, smiled rarely and pressed his sister's head: "Well, big brother misses you too."

Sun He, who was behind, saw how the eldest master and the cousin got along with each other, and felt that his decision was right.

"Okay, all of you go back first. Xiaoxiao and I have something to discuss."

After the servants left, Shu Tingyu looked at Shu Xiaoxiao and said, "Our Xiaoxiao is smarter than you think, brother. What we did this time is also correct. Prince Yun is favored by the emperor, and his favor is not much different from that of the princes. It is more convenient for him to act. Telling him the method is equivalent to telling the emperor. Our general's mansion will always be loyal to the emperor."

If Xiaoxiao was just the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, then she wouldn't need to pay attention to all this. But Xiaoxiao is now the eldest cousin of the general's mansion, and she has even made a horseshoe. So she needs to know what she should know, and she doesn't need to do anything. But she can't be easily won over by anyone.

"Yeah, I know, big brother."

"Then big brother, should I talk to Senior Brother Yun and see if the horseshoe can be given to father's army first." After all, she was the one who discovered the horseshoe, so it shouldn't be too much to let her father cut in line, right?

"No, the emperor will definitely take care of the horseshoe issue, so we shouldn't interfere, otherwise it will backfire in front of the emperor."

It is better to have less trouble than more. The emperor's power is unpredictable. It will do more harm than good for the General's Mansion to be involved. The credit of the horseshoe belongs to Xiaoxiao. If there is any trouble in the future, maybe he can use this credit to deal with it.

As for my father and second brother, regarding the issue of horseshoes, the emperor will definitely popularize horseshoes in the army as quickly as possible, and my father and second brother will definitely be involved. It would be bad if they interfere, so it is better to let nature take its course.

"Okay, then I won't care."

There is a big difference between here and modern times. In modern times, there is no shortage of good things, such as intellectual property rights. But now, if the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Everything must be kept low-key so that you can make a fortune in silence. The more ostentatious you are, the faster you die.
