Chapter 603: Shuwen, you have to pass the imperial examination first.
Uncle Sun was frightened by Sun Shan's action of wiping his neck.
What kind of windfall is this? Why would he kill himself?
And Sun Shan said that only the juren can make a fortune, but ordinary people can’t?
Seeing Uncle Sun in a daze, Sun Shan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Uncle Sun, don't think too much. It's not easy to make a fortune, and it's very dangerous to want to make a fortune. You should just collect mountain products honestly and don't think too much about other things. Uncle Sun, it's not that I don't want to help you make a fortune, but some windfalls,......"
He looked at Uncle Sun meaningfully and gave him a look that said "you understand".
Sun Shan floated into the study room in a light-hearted manner.
Uncle Sun was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, a cold wind blew and he immediately became clear-headed.
He shouted, "Shanzi, you are so cunning, you lied to me again!"
Uncle Sun didn't believe that he couldn't make the same fortune that Sun Shan made, it was just that Sun Shan was a stingy person and didn't tell him.
Just as he was about to rush in to argue, Huang came back from the village chief's house.
Seeing Uncle Sun wandering around in Sun Shan's study, he called out, "Uncle Sun, what are you doing? What time is it? Why don't you go collect the mountain products? Don't walk around under Shanzi's windowsill. Shanzi is reading and should not be disturbed."
Uncle Sun ran up to Huang and said aggrievedly, "Mother, did you know that my eldest brother's family has become prosperous?"
Huang shook her head and said, "What do you mean by developed? How come I don't know about it?"
Uncle Sun didn't believe that Huang didn't know about it, and he vividly recounted how Sun Boming and Su spent money lavishly and generously in the capital.
Huang said calmly, "Shuwen, have you forgotten that Shanzi is now a juren? His status has changed, so it is naturally easier for him to make money. Shanzi made a lot of money in Jinling, all thanks to his juren status. You want to make money? Shuwen, you have to pass the exam and become a juren first."
Uncle Sun choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
If he had the ability to pass the imperial examination, he would have become rich long ago.
Huang waved her hand and said gently, "Shuwen, just collect the mountain products and don't think too much about other things. Just do what your status is. Without that status, you can't do anything beyond your status. As a person, you must know yourself."
After a pause, he continued, "Go back quickly. It's important to collect the mountain products."
Then he added: "By the way, if there are any good mountain products among the ones you receive, please show them to me first. I have to pick some out for Shanzi to eat. Shanzi has suffered a lot during this trip to Beijing to take the exam, and he needs to be well fed."
Uncle Sun really wanted to spit out blood. Mrs. Huang’s words were too hurtful.
What else is there? Pick up the good stuff and give it to Sun Shan to eat.
Such an ungrateful person ate so much food from him and didn't even tell him about his fortune.
If you give it to Sun Shan again, he, Sun Shuwen, will be a fool.
Huang saw that Uncle Sun was unwilling, so she shook her head and said, "You only look at the present, not the future. Mother is thinking about you. Now that Mother is still alive and the family has not yet been divided, we are naturally a family. If Mother were not here, and you brothers had divided the family, you would never be as close as you are now.
Of course, A Niang hopes that the descendants of our Sun family will always be well, but how is that possible?
If you treat Shanzi nicer now, Shanzi will be grateful. When A Niang is gone, Shanzi will remember your kindness.
Shuwen, Shanzi is a juren. The reason you can collect mountain products so smoothly is all thanks to Shanzi's status.
Do you think those ruffians won’t come and bully you when they see you collecting mountain products and making money?
This is all because they are afraid of the scholar from our Sun family.
Also, your land is not taxed, and Deger can work in the county school, all thanks to Shanzi.
"As a human being, you should be content with what you have, understand?"
I understand! Of course Uncle Sun understands!
When he was bragging outside, nine out of ten times people envied him for having a master who was a juren in his family, and once they envied him for having an elder sister who lived in the provincial capital.
When he was walking outside and people asked him where he was from, he just had to say that he was from a family of a juren in Sunjia Village and that he had a nephew who was a juren.
If you don't give in a little, collecting mountain products will be much smoother.
But Uncle Sun thought that he and Sun Shan had a closer relationship than uncle and nephew, and thought that Sun Shan should tell him how to make money.
Who knew Sun Shan was so cunning? If I didn't tell him, I would feel upset and disappointed.
Huang stopped talking and told Uncle Sun to go back and think about it carefully. If he couldn't figure it out, he could come back to the old house.
Uncle Sun had a more serious heart attack. He hung his head and staggered out of the Sun family's old house.
It was impossible not to come to the old house, he must find out the secret of getting rich.
snort!
He, Sun Shuwen, is the indestructible cockroach!
Sun Shan had no idea that Uncle Sun was bent on finding out the secret of how he made his fortune. He just didn't want to say more. After all, it was about Duke Xu, and he didn't want to reveal it to someone with ulterior motives.
At this time, I was reading the letter from the capital.
One letter was from my second cousin He Shuyu. The information he got was very limited. The information about Lord Tang and his brother-in-law were all common news and had little value.
One was from He Shuqiang, asking him to inquire about the news, but instead he wrote a hundred thousand whys?
Finally, he asked Sun Shan to come to Guangzhou to play with him, be his third companion, eat with him and sleep with him.
Of course, when we landed at the mansion, we would catch a few chickens and geese from Sunjia Village.
He also said that the Sunjiacun brand big fat chicken and big fat goose given by Sun Bomin were very delicious.
His older sister, Yun Jie'er, also likes to eat it.
As for the matter of gathering information, He Shuqiang directly handed it over to He Shujun.
Sun Shan was speechless when he saw this.
Among so many letters, He Shuqiang's was the thickest.
Sun Shan thought he had found out the most information, but it turned out that what he wrote was all nonsense.
In particular, the chapters about eating, drinking and having fun account for 90% of the content, which made Sun Shan hold his forehead with his hand.
I really want to pretend that I don’t know this fat guy.
Sun Shan continued to open the letter, this one was from He Shujun.
At the beginning of the story, the titular cousin believes that the reason why Sun Shan inquired about the county magistrate was to know himself and the enemy, so that it would be easier to do business in Huangyang County.
After all, they know everything about the He family, who is the chief official in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the changes in officials.
Therefore, the information provided by He Shujun was quite detailed.
Sun Shan read it from beginning to end word for word.
The magistrate of Tang County, Tang Junyi, with the courtesy name Zhichuan, was from Jurong County, Yingtian Prefecture. He was 52 years old and was born in the previous dynasty.
In the 27th year of Taiqi, he became a Juren in Yingtian Prefecture.
In the 29th year of Taiqi, he went to Pingshun County under Shanxi Province to serve as the county magistrate, and then went to Huangyang County.
County Magistrate Tang was born into a poor family, but because of his talent for studying, he was noticed by a local wealthy businessman, who betrothed his daughter to him and funded his studies.
After finally passing the imperial examination, he failed the imperial examination the following year and became the magistrate of Pingshun County.
Now I have a wife, a concubine, several children, and several grandchildren.
Sun Shan took a look at Magistrate Tang's resume. It was very simple, just the experience of a farmer's son who passed the imperial examination and became an official.
Looking at County Magistrate Tang's brother-in-law again, he turned out to be the younger brother of his concubine, not his wife.
It is obvious that he is a lackey with connections and is not a capable person at all.
Sun Shan couldn't help feeling depressed. He was just the younger brother of a concubine, yet he could act so domineeringly.
Sun Shan became even more sad and angry.
