The government reduced rent and exempted rent in order to stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the government.
After all, Taigong Zhao was a businessman, and his true intention was to only seek profit. His behavior made Chu Nanzhi feel uneasy.
Zhao Guangyuan saw the concern hidden in her eyes, and smiled and enlightened: "Ms. Chu, there is no need to feel distressed. There is no need to say more about the old man's situation now. You also have a general understanding that money is just an external possession for the old man."
With a long sigh, his face gradually became a little solemn: "I have spent my whole life working hard for these mundane things, but in the end I ended up being lonely and helpless. No matter how much money I have, I will never take it with me."
Go away. The family property in my hometown in Tong County has long been entrusted to the clan members. They can support their family with that property.
The rest of the property was originally intended to be entrusted to Madam Chu, but Madam Chu refused again and again, and I couldn't force it anymore. But in my heart, Madam Chu is the worthy heir to this family property, and it was only in your hands, Old Man, that I created it.
Only then can this family business continue to flourish.”
"The old lady is too proud of the slave family."
Chu Nanzhi said in fear: "I come from a womanly family."
Unexpectedly, before she finished her evasive words, Zhao Taigong immediately waved his hand to interrupt her: "Hey, we are not the people in the scene. The old lady confides in Madam Chu. Madam Chu should not be so alienated from the old lady. Although she has no chance to meet her in this life.
Madam Chu, we are married together, but this is not too much to ask for as a year-end friend, right?"
"Being able to be praised by the old lady is a blessing earned by the slave family. How dare you not know how to praise me?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled and spoke.
Wouldn't you be a fool if you don't hug your thighs?
Although Lin Jinxiao has been granted the title of king now, the situation he faces is extremely severe. Being able to rely on a wealthy businessman like the Zhao family will definitely be more conducive to his future expansion northward.
Regarding her answer, Zhao Guangyuan was very satisfied and said with a heartfelt smile: "In that case, Mrs. Chu, please stop being polite to me."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
Silently looking at the signed contract in their hands, the two of them held it in their hands and looked at it.
Zhao Guangyuan also took a look at the situation in Jushengfang today. Not only was the surrounding area decayed and withered, the place was even more dirty and messy.
He had a lot of doubts in his heart, and then asked: "Lao Cao has no doubt about Mrs. Chu's vision. Even with the terrain and environment of Jushengfang, Lao Cao always feels that it is difficult to become a prosperous place. I don't know why Mrs. Chu thought of building a mansion here.
Woolen cloth?"
"What the old lady is worried about is nothing more than the popularity of Jushengfang."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with determination: "Don't worry about this, old lady. I will definitely find a way to gather popularity. Jushengfang is not a desolate place itself, but it is also connected to the surrounding villages.
There is little dirt, and there are too many sunken and muddy areas in the workshop. Over time, it has become an abandoned land.
As long as the supporting facilities around it are built, there will definitely be people willing to move in. After all, Luyan Port has now become the state capital. With the flow of people from all over the place, it will be more obvious that every inch of land is valuable, and the mansion will only rise with the tide."
After hearing her words, Zhao Guangyuan was looking forward to how she would turn an abandoned land into a treasure.
While the two were talking, a servant suddenly burst in mysteriously.
When he arrived in front of Zhao Guangyuan, the servant did not immediately report what was going on. Instead, he carefully inspected the inside of the elegant room.
Zhao Guangyuan couldn't help but frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Ms. Chu is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
The servant then replied obediently: "Go back to Grand Duke, Concubine Yue and the Grand Administrator are already at the house for a visit."
Hearing Wu Enrong's name, Zhao Guangyuan frowned deeper, looked at each other with Chu Nanzhi, and quickly stood up to leave: "Mrs. Chu, please be busy first. If you have anything to do, please tell the housekeeper."
After walking a few steps outside, he suddenly turned around and said with a serious tone: "Ms. Chu, please be at ease. Now that our Zhao family has chosen an ally, we will definitely not have any second thoughts."
"Thank you."
Chu Nanzhi saw that there seemed to be an unspeakable anger hidden in his old eyes, and immediately guessed that he was disgusted with the prefect Wu Enrong.
The heartless man who had long been on the list of scumbags in her heart and deserved to be number one on the list has finally shown up.
She really couldn't wait to see the charm of this charming man who had made countless women bow.
I heard that this person will go to Beijing and Gao soon. This time he came to Luyan Port to hand over his duties.
She has been thinking about what she promised to the old lady, and she doesn't know if she will have a chance to come into contact with him this time.
Looking at his angry eyes, Chu Nanzhi warned with some uneasiness: "Grandpa, you must take care of yourself. I will try my best to help you thoroughly investigate your son's life experience. Grandpa, don't be too anxious."
Zhao Guangyuan narrowed his eyes and nodded solemnly, knowing that she was admonishing him not to get angry with that guy.
But she couldn't understand the anger in her heart.
Without saying another word, he led his servants away in a hurry.
Watching the old lady leave, Chu Nanzhi felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Ever since yesterday's sudden nightmare, she had been restless for the past two days, always feeling like something was about to happen.
Nowadays, many heavyweights gathered in Luyan Port. Thinking of the tax bank case, she could not tell for the time being whether there were hidden forces behind the tax bank case.
The only clue is the death of Da Chen.
I just don’t know if Dongjin Wang Lin Jinmu was involved in this matter and what role he played in it.
Butler Zhao looked at Chu Nanzhi, who had a dull look in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh weakly: "I'm afraid this time the old lady will completely break with Concubine Yue and Governor Wu."
"Is it so serious?"
Chu Nanzhi actually guessed what Concubine Yue wanted to do when she came.
In addition to the Zhao family, the Qi family, and the Yue family in Luyan Port, they are now also ranked among the largest families.
Many of Concubine Yue's fiefdoms are located in Pingning Prefecture.
As for Lin Jinxiao's land equalization order, she and the entire mother's family will naturally be greatly affected, so she also does not want to see the land equalization order be implemented smoothly.
Furthermore, the factions among the kings in Beijing require them to spend a lot of money every year to win over all parties. A rich place like Luyan Port will naturally become an important treasure for them to make money.
For a family like the Qi family that dares to boldly try various methods to make money quickly, although they all acted uprightly and supported Lin Jinxiao in punishing the Qi family yesterday, they are afraid that they are not willing to overthrow such a money tree.
Presumably Concubine Yue and King Dongjin took money from the Qi family every year.
Looking cautiously at Butler Zhao, who had a gloomy face, Chu Nanzhi warned with some worry: "Butler Zhao, you should also go back to the house. It's good that I will take care of you today. If anything happens in the house, can you help me?"
Come and repay me at any time."
Butler Zhao pursed his lips tightly, nodded heavily, and bowed his hands deeply to her: "Then I'll take my leave, old slave."
"Sang Kun, send it to Butler Zhao."
Chu Nanzhi gave instructions, and Sang Kun followed Butler Zhao and left.
