The fallen leaves fell on the edge of the window with the breeze, and occasionally a few lightly tapped on the window lattice to make a rustling sound.

Of the two people sitting opposite each other in the room, one was leisurely and gentle, while the other tried to relax but couldn't help but tighten his face.

"Although the Wei family has made a lot of money in the county, they can talk to the county magistrate. But in the county, they may be powerless!"

Lu Xiao said it casually, but Wei Xun was shocked. I wanted the wine prescription wholeheartedly but never thought about whether I could keep it or not, or thought about it but was blinded by interests and ignored it.

Wei Xun vaguely knew that because of the scarcity of fruit wine, the ones he used to curry favor with the officials were not actually accepted but passed up layer by layer. Just a few days ago, the county magistrate was still hinting at himself. With such a large amount of fat, it is hard to keep others jealous. There are many talented people in the county, if I know the way...

"Brother Xian said that there is a way to deal with it? Let me ask Brother Yu to give me advice..." Wei Xun hastily poured new tea for him, his eyes full of anticipation. Since the person in front of him can propose to draw 20% of the benefits, there must be a way to deal with it.

"This matter is actually very simple, it's just that brother Wei is a fan of the authorities." Lu Xiao pretended to be deep enough and couldn't help smiling, and spoke a lot more bluntly, "Although the fruit wine is good, it's not worth such a big fight. In the final analysis, it's just because things are rare and expensive. That's all. Brother Wei got the prescription to expand the amount of wine, so it's not so eye-catching."

Lu Xiao said it lightly, but Wei Xun's eyes were full of splendor. This method looks simple but few people think of it. The ingenuity in the business was seen by a young man at a glance, so that rare things are precious.

"To be honest, Brother Wei, I am sure to pass the township examination this spring. If I am lucky enough to get a job, let alone the county magistrate or the county guard, I dare not easily touch the winery we cooperate with." Lu Xiao said with confidence and saw the person in front of him again. Thinking deeply, he couldn't help chuckling, and put the last straw that broke the camel's back: "Brother Wei has been funding his brother-in-law to study for a long time. It is well known that you have known that your foundation is not solid. After so many years, your brother-in-law But there is no sign of further progress. Nearly 40 years old and still a child, so what if he was lucky enough to be selected as a scholar this year? The deterrent power of a 40-year-old scholar to the magistrate of the county is really limited... Brother Wei must also understand in his heart. Years of funding has long since lost its original intentions, and now it's nothing more than maintaining the relationship between siblings!"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen are the most contemptible. So what if he has a lot of money, besides the clean and honest officials above the court, who is short of bribes? Farmers envy the merchants for being rich, living in a mansion and marrying beautiful wives and beautiful concubines...but only they know how embarrassing the merchant's situation is.

Wei Xun is one of the few wealthy merchants in the county, but he betrothed his beloved younger sister to a poor family who only had a child's name. The status of a merchant is so low... so low that there is no guarantee.

"You can spend so much money for nothing every year for your sister, which shows that you are a kind and righteous person. Otherwise... I would not propose cooperation." Lu Xiao didn't wait for Wei Xun's reaction, and continued with the previous words, "This way It's the same if you sell it to anyone, even if you can't protect it now... At worst, you can sell the one in front of you, and it's the same if you have fame and fame to manage others."
