Chapter 149

After all, most squires are just for the sake of profit.

This is also a feature of the gentry. Only when they gain enough benefits can they be willing to gather the people at the bottom.

This is also helping the country and stabilizing grassroots people.

In other words, the state ruled not the people, but a group of nobles, gentry and other people.

As long as these people are settled and given them certain benefits, they can make the people in their places be settled.

In fact, a country is not just the emperor.

The entire ruling class should be viewed as a unit.

The central unit is the central brain, the officials are the meridians, and the gentry is the nerve endings.

Then it is divided down one by one, one by one, and it is not the emperor alone, but the people in the world are in charge of it. That is not realistic and impossible.

After all, the people in some places may never know who the emperor is!

Local people may just listen to some gentry, and local officials will win over gentry again.

Therefore, emperors of all dynasties must ensure the interests of the nobles and gentry so that the world will not be in chaos.

It was precisely because Chen Xiao understood this that he would like to what he liked and simply fooled these gentry from the perspective of a businessman.

Sure enough, the squire who were most profit-oriented were successfully deceived by him.

Su Da is domineering and has a long history.

There is something to do with the distribution of interests, Su Daqiang alone took over the big head, so that other gentry could not eat much bones.

Therefore, from the perspective of interests, many gentry were actually not very satisfied with Su Daqiang.

Now, Chen Xiao also made up the lies he fabricated against Su Daqiang for his interests, but these gentry were very convinced and recognized!

Originally, several gentry could not understand why Chen Xiao, a young man, had to go against the gentry leader.

Now when it comes to the distribution of interests, the gentry, as the stakeholders, naturally understand it.

The old squire hesitated and spoke to Chen Xiao:

"I have heard of the most ruthless restaurant. It is said that a store alone can be paid in a thousand taels of silver every day. If you intend to open a few restaurants in Qingyang County, then you may be paid in a minimum of two thousand taels every day."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Thinking about this, it's almost the same. Apart from the labor cost, it can still be lost. If we cooperate with you, we will share the benefits equally.

Therefore, each of you who are sitting in the restaurant will make a profit of at least 1,200 taels a day. This year, it is not difficult for a family to make 50,000 taels of silver!"

Hearing this, the remaining squire could no longer bear it. How could he not be moved by such interests?

If it were an ordinary restaurant, they wouldn't believe that it would make money like this.

However, with Chen Xiao’s white wine, that’s another matter.

Sooner or later, white wine will replace rice wine, and its purer and stronger taste will definitely become the mainstream wine.

The market is so large that it is immeasurable.

Qingyang County has a population of nearly one million, and the market is enough for these gentry to slowly explore.

When they thought of this, these gentry thought too much? They all smiled at Chen Xiao.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao said: "But, if Su Daqiang is involved, with his domineeringness, I may not be able to share the interests with him equally, and he will definitely take over the majority.

I'm afraid he wants to monopolize this business, and he may not want to share it with you so much money. So...ah, I can't say some things too directly. But there are some things I should do, I've done!"

The old squire stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, I, etc., understand what you mean. This kind of business has a huge profit. If you want to make money reasonably, we also want to make money reasonably.

Therefore, on this issue, unreasonable people should be eliminated. Su Daqiang has always been domineering, and he has been dissatisfied with various ways to make money. He eats meat and drinks soup.

Now, you have ideas, you have ambitions, we have ideas, and we have even more ambitions. We can completely cooperate and kick Su Daqiang out as you did!"

Another squire also stood up and said: "That's right, Su Daqiang is too domineering. If we pull him down, we can maximize our interests!"

Chen Xiao smiled, but deliberately frowned: "But, Su Daqiang's power is beyond my imagination. After all, he is a bully, and I'm afraid... it's hard to deal with!"

The old gentry stepped forward and bowed and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Chen, it's about interests, and we will not sit idly by. If we bring down Su Daqiang, we gentry will have a day to make a comeback. Don't worry, we will also help you deal with his forces and try to get him clean up as soon as possible!"

Chen Xiao deliberately said: "This... is this really OK? I heard Su Daqiang say that his people were coming to demolish the yamen and save him back. I suddenly became a little scared. Otherwise... I'd better let Su Daqiang go? At worst, I can cooperate with him and let him make more money!"

The gentry was anxious, and a middle-aged man said:

"Mr. Chen, this Su Daqiang is not a good thing. You can't let it go. Don't worry, although there are many people, we squire are not afraid of him as a result.

If his people really dare to come to the yamen to save him, we will first disagree. So, County Magistrate Chen, don’t worry. Even if we deal with Su Daqiang, let’s start cooperation quickly!”

Chen Xiao said in embarrassment: "Then... well, everyone, for us to make money together, I have to fight with this evil tiger!"

The squire all nodded excitedly, and then Chen Xiao personally sent them away.

Back in the hall again, Chen Wenshan, who was confused throughout the whole process, looked at Chen Xiao in admiration and said:

"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. Son, you fooled them with this mouth, admire you!"

Originally, these gentry came to cause trouble and asked the yamen to release Su Daqiang. As a result, they now want to kill Su Daqiang more than anyone else.

"Mr. County Magistrate, tomorrow morning, I will interrogate Su Daqiang!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Chen Wenshan swallowed and said, "Okay..."

...

Back in the backyard, Long Jiuling was playing with Xiao Nannan. This little girl is now raised by Chen Wenshan and his wife, and she is gradually familiar with her current life.

When Xiao Nannan saw Chen Xiao coming, she was very happy. She always regarded Chen Xiao as her greatest benefactor!

Chen Xiao picked up Xiao Nannan and asked Long Jiuling: "Where is that bride?"

"Crying in the room, she almost collapsed after she knew that her parents were killed by Su Daqiang as soon as she got into the sedan chair!" Long Jiuling sighed.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "It's so simple, but even if she knew about it at that time, what choice would she have?"

Long Jiuling nodded, and the two chatted in the yard for a long time.

In the evening, after dinner, Chen Xiao and his family were about to go back to their houses, but Chen Wenshan said to Chen Xiao:

"Do you want to send some people to protect you, Jiu Yatou and the bride?"

"No need, they live next to me. It's okay. Besides, if the Su family really sends someone, they will definitely not be able to hurt Jiuer and the others!"
