Chapter 380 The family is powerless

"Wenjie, I already know this. I have a letter here that you need to read first..."

Lu Wende's inertial attitude pushed the letter forward on his desk, and the letter slowly reached the table. Tian Wenjie was confused but didn't dare to say more. He went up and picked up the letter and looked at it in a glance. He wanted to finish it all in a hurry, but he looked at the beginning of the front, but the more he looked back, the more angry he became.

"Shameless! So ok..."

Tian Wenjie was about to find Lu Wende to resonate with him, but Tian Wenjie, who looked up, saw Lu Wende's slightly smiling face and was stunned on the spot. Tian Wenjie was also a Mongolian lord and a general of the Song Dynasty. He had never seen anyone. This time he lost in Luzhou, and the blow to the family was so huge. All business at an important port was stopped, and all the goods and some gold and silver that had not been transferred were detained.

Then Liu Zheng actually sent all the money, or money of the same value, to Lu Wende. Did Liu Zheng change his personality? This trick of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is not Liu Zheng's personality. It turns out that if such a thing happened, Liu Zheng would definitely not let go even if he bit him. It is definitely not something that Lu Wende could do if he wanted to get a little bit of oil and water in Liu Zheng's hands.

But how could Liu Zheng give the money to Lu Wende this time? And if Lu Wende collects the money and spends it, it would be equivalent to invisibly admitting all the charges Liu Zheng added to the Tian family.

If Lu Wende did not collect this money or did not spend this money, the lawsuit would be equivalent to the Tian family suing Liu Zhen for personal gain. Finally, Lu Wende issued a letter and found Tian innocent, ordered Liu Zhen to return all the property to the Tian family, and all the Tian family's business would be lifted. In this case, Lu Wende would lose 100,000 taels of silver.

After thinking about these questions clearly, Tian Wenjie has been doing business for many years. He quickly came and said,

"Mr. Lu, we cannot collect this money. This is Liu Zheng's plan to alienate him. The Tian family is willing to pay 150,000 yuan. We will work hard to thank the army, but I hope Lord Lu can cleanse the grievances for the Tian family."

"oh......"

Lu Wende was not a short-sighted person. He was indeed fascinated by Liu Jin's ten thousand taels of gold. After careful consideration, it was indeed the Tian family, but it was much more reliable than Liu Jin who suddenly changed his mind.

"However, do you have the means to overturn the case? You know, it is difficult to overturn the case..."

Tian Wenjie was also in distress for a moment. Among the people arrested in Dadi Money House, half of them were from the Tian family, and the other half were from Lu Wende. The shopkeepers of the Tian family were not as strict as those around Lu Wende, and they all made a living in Luzhou City. They looked up and saw them. After asking for a while, they knew where they were from. Lu Wende's people were even more direct and directly on the Tian family. Of course, they could not sell Lu Wende.

At midnight, a strange face came in and persuaded the captain to leave, and began to transfer the questions and specifically asked the people from the Tian family that these people were either the storefront work or the shopkeeper of the winery cloth shop. All the problems pointed to the Tian family's smuggling, tax evasion, or tax concealment during business.

Do you still need to ask these questions? More than a dozen accounts are still in front of the shopkeepers, and the fiery red charcoal basins are placed beside them. Occasionally, the frost on the soldering iron turns into water droplets, and the sound of chuckling on the charcoal fire is heard. Nowadays, tax officials may not be able to understand the tax system themselves, and they only collect money according to the amount reported above.

If any businessman is unable to get along with the money and pays all the transaction tax items according to the amount, how can it be? If you really need to compare all the accounts in previous years, the number will definitely not be less than the value of the goods they snatched this time.

But being fined is better than losing a deal, but the problem is that Liu Zheng can't fall. Even if the Tian family takes back those deals, what can it do? This time, Dadi Money House and Liu Zheng basically represent the two heavenly existences of Luzhou's political and business, and the Tian family offended them. So Tian Wenjie didn't know how to answer the question of Lu Wende.

"Mr. Lu, please let me go home and chat with the elders in the clan... and then I will give you a clear answer."

After gaining the recognition of Lu Wende, Tian Wenjie hurriedly left, leaving only Lu Wende alone, Lu Wende picked up a brush on his desk and wrote down vigorously and vigorously the words "profit-oriented" on a wide open piece of rice paper.

The Tian family is a wealthy family in the southwest region, and with amazing wealth, Lu Wende often relied on local places whether he was starting a war or building bridges and roads. He needed to be like the Tian family and Luo family, and the Luo family were relatively low-key, especially when the Zhao Song Dynasty began to gradually become chaotic.

However, the Tian family began to lie dormant during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not until recently that they began to become active again. These family members who had been passed down for a hundred years had a large amount of property among the people and controlled most of the social resources. It is not uncommon for local officials to come to office and want to punish a certain family in one place, but end up losing their official position.

In the chaotic times, local officials have more and more power. In addition, the southwestern border has become the key defensive position of the Zhao Song court in recent years. Therefore, the places in several important towns in the southwestern border are absolutely powerful factions who hold both military and political power. Therefore, local wealthy families dare not provoke them.

If this were the case in the past, how could the small Lu family, which was born in Lu Wende, be able to fight against the Tian family in the southwest? It would be impossible to force the powerful figures of the Tian family to desperate situations. However, luck makes people mess with trouble, and trouble is right in front of you. No matter how big the Tian family is, they cannot defeat military power, and no matter how deep the roots are, they are not as important as border defense. So after suffering such a loss, they can only endure it.

The reason why the great clans can be passed down for thousands of years is not because they compete for power and profit, but because they know how to use resources. The most important thing is that they know how to compromise. Once the emperor and the ministers are, the role of the great clans in these feudal dynasties is like a chain, just like the managers, that is, the emperors and powerful people, linking the lower-level people.

Before the emergence of the imperial examination system, the wealthy families of aristocratic families occupied almost all the channels for becoming officials. In other words, if you want to be an official, you don’t have any recommendations from the wealthy families of aristocratic families, don’t even think about recommendations.
