Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

"Do I look stupid? Can I be controlled by a few stewards?"

Tang Mo laughed out loud when he heard the news. "The profits of the shop and farm have not been good in the past few years. The difference between the original farm and the one you manage is huge. I haven't blamed them for poor management, but they dare to make trouble for me?"

Isn't this the opposite of Tiangang?

"The old man is completely hopeless."

Xin An said that she had already told her uncle that she would send a manager to help him look at the account books tomorrow. "I don't have any extra people. Besides, these are all the assets of the Marquis' Mansion. It's not good for the Xin family to get involved. You decide what to do."

Tang Mo had an idea in mind. At this time, he was too busy to think about other things. "You have to think about it for me. When the managers arrive, let them wait. I will deal with them after I am done."

Logically speaking, there is no need for him to show up in person to take care of the managers. His mother is enough. It's the old man who is in charge of these people.

Xin An, who was pregnant, did not sleep well at night. She always had cramps at night, which made her calves hurt during the day. She did not want to sleep in the morning, so she packed up and went to the front yard early.

All the young servants in the Marquis's mansion wore the same new clothes and stood in a row. The yard was filled with various New Year gift boxes, all tied with red silk. Cuiping temporarily took over the position of Manager Zhang, taking a booklet to count each item and handing them to the servants.

"This is from the Qing Marquis's Mansion, this is from the Xin Residence, and this one is sent to General Wang's Mansion..."

"Be careful not to make any mistakes. Check the list of annual gifts from various governments before delivering them..."

After all the New Year gifts were counted, the servants were busy loading them into the car, which would be delivered by a passing car to avoid having to run back and forth.

After everyone walked out of the door, Cuiping personally led people to carry some New Year gifts out. Some important families asked her to come in and talk to them.

"Cui Ping is really good."

Wang was quite satisfied. She turned around and asked Xin An, "Will she stay by your side and serve you forever?"

Xin An said that she herself could not think of the reason why Cuiping would choose to leave. How many companies in Beijing could offer Cuiping the treatment she provided?

"The premise of loyalty is to give him enough, to make him doubt that he is not worthy of such treatment. Only then will he be willing to sacrifice his life for you."

This was what her father taught her. Merchants would always bring guards with them when they go out. Some guards would risk their lives for their masters. The prerequisite was that they were well fed and well fed on a daily basis, and their worries were solved. There was no need for them on a daily basis.

This is what it means to raise troops for a thousand days and then deploy them for a moment.

Wang smiled. She certainly knew that this method was the best way to win people's hearts, but how many women in the capital could be as well-off as Xin An?

There were intermittent coughing sounds coming from the room. Xin An turned sideways and looked at the door. "Is father coughing more severely?"

Wang said, "Because it was cold, I burned an extra pot of charcoal at night. It turned out to be too hot, and he kicked off the quilt in the middle of the night and caught a cold. Your father's illness is not serious, but it is not easy to recover."

Xin An had no idea about her mother-in-law's secret methods. She only said that older people suffer from many illnesses in winter and they will be better in spring.

Wang smiled but said nothing. Spring is the season when everything comes back to life and it is also a good time to get sick. It is not easy to get well.

"He has a heart disease. If his heart is healed, the disease will be cured."

Xin An didn't understand the hidden meaning in her words. At this time, some people had already come to deliver New Year gifts to the Marquis' Mansion, and Wang had to start to get busy. Xin An had nothing to do, so she went to Chunrong Hall to sit for a while. Aunt Yu brought Nu'er, and Aunt Yue brought Le'er to show filial piety to the old lady. The children were cute and adorable, so the old lady was willing to take care of these two pairs of mothers and children.

Tang Mo came back very late that night. He personally delivered 30,000 taels of silver to General Xu. "Mrs. Liao and the second young master's wife of Prince Jin's Mansion are close friends. Their families are also very close. As far as I know, Prince Jin's Mansion has been secretly keeping an eye on these large grain merchants. I'm afraid that Prince Jin will know if my father-in-law makes any move. Although Mr. Liao is not in the capital, he has left many eyes behind."

General Xu accepted the banknote and asked Tang Mo a question, "Do you know if Liao Zhi has any other business in the northwest?"

“Buy land.”

Tang Mo did not hide anything and told General Xu what Xin An had told him. In fact, it was nothing more than a vast area with few people, so they just enclosed some land. It was all in accordance with the regulations of the court, and it was not like they were not paying.

"No specific news has been sent back yet."

General Xu's eyes flashed with complexity, "Is your wife a money-grubber?"

Tang Mo smiled and said, "She's used to it."

He doesn't think there is anything wrong with his wife's love of making money. Those who say that his wife is full of money are secretly envious of her.

General Xu did not continue to talk to him about the food and fodder. He just asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the prince and his disciples, and to tell him immediately if there was anything unusual.

After Tang Mo left the Xu family's back door, General Xu went to the Second Prince's residence and gave Tang Mo's thirty thousand taels of silver to the Second Prince. He explained the reason why Tang Mo could not buy food and grass, "It's also within our expectations. This person is very useful, so it's best not to let him be exposed."

Since Tang Mo came along, they had a clearer grasp of the prince's situation and it became easier for them to act. The Second Prince did not take the thirty thousand taels, but just sighed that even if the prince's arm was cut off and he was suppressed in every way, the prince's position would still be stable.

"I was wondering, how did Tang Mo deal with Tang Rong?"

General Xu knew clearly, "In terms of skill and cunningness, he is not as good as Tang Rong. Tang Rong did not fail because of the marriage exchange, but because he encountered accidents one after another, which ruined his luck and reputation."

"No matter how cunning and resourceful a person is, if he can only lie down, what can he achieve?"

The second prince laughed, "To put it bluntly, he knew that his plan could not win, so he simply let the other party lie down, cut off his eyes and ears in the mansion, and spread the news outside the mansion."

"Being replaced with a wife actually brought him opportunities."

"so..."

General Xu said, "You don't have to be very skilled, and your strategy doesn't have to be very complicated, as long as it's effective."

They are used to all kinds of plotting and planning, but they ignore the simplest things. Simplicity does not necessarily mean it has no effect.

The father-in-law and the son-in-law looked at each other and decided that they should change their strategy against the prince. As long as he was the prince and as long as the emperor trusted him, what did it matter if they cut off all his support?

Many people followed one after another.

Tang Mo had never expected that the Second Prince would be able to appreciate the simple but effective tricks he and Xin An used. At this time, he was already sitting opposite Luo Qiwen, discussing how to send Tang Rong on his final journey.

Tang Mo wanted Luo Qiwen to know about his shady deeds, and he also had to let Luo Qiwen get involved. Only by sharing secrets could the relationship last long, and Luo Qiwen would work for him more wholeheartedly.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you have nothing to do with this matter."

Luo Qiwen smiled and said, "Even if it is exposed, it has nothing to do with the prince."

Tang Mo took out a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and said, "It's the New Year, buy some things for the family."

He handed Luo Qiwen a porcelain bottle and said, "I asked the imperial physician to make this. It should be suitable for your mother's condition. You can try it."
