Chapter 3: The Prodigal Son's Return?
Eighteen-year-old Su Dashao has also reached the age when he should start a family.
Like the protagonists in many stories, Su Dashao is notorious, and many families with suitable girls in their families, whether eunuchs or merchants, are not willing to marry girls to him.
This time it was a big deal for Old Man Su, seeing that Old Man Su is sixty years old this year, and he hasn't hugged his grandson yet, he has three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, which makes him go to see his ancestors and ancestors.
So Old Man Su was ruthless and planned to discipline Su Dashao well, but Su Dashao didn't care.
He is only eighteen years old now, and he will still be a child in the next life, and the law does not allow him to marry, so he is not in a hurry at all.
Seeing that Su Dashao did not eat oil and salt, Old Man Su got a serious illness in a fit of anger and asked the doctor to come and see, but the doctor did not give any good way, just let him recuperate.
But he said it easily, such a large family is waiting for him to feed, the three daughters are already married, and they can't help anything, and the old housekeeper is older than him, so he can't be too tired.
Seeing that if Old Man Su really can't afford to get sick, this family will really be in chaos.
In the end, Su Dashao still has some conscience, compared to staying in this home for more than ten years, he still has feelings.
He is also in his thirties in two lives, and now that his family needs him, then he should stand up and show others.
On this day, Su Hong came to his cheap father's bedroom, and looking at his haggard father, Su Hong was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Dad, my son used to be ignorant, but now that you are not in good health, you can take care of your illness, and I will take care of the family's business in the future!"
As soon as Su Da Shao spoke, whether it was the two mothers who took care of her husband, the old housekeeper who came to explain the matter, and Su Fu, who followed Su Hong, they were all stunned.
Everyone couldn't believe it, what happened to Su Dashao today, the sun came out in the west?
But Su You is very happy, the prodigal son does not change his money, and his son can have this heart, which is a good start.
"Son, I am glad that you have this heart, and I am glad to be a father, but you are still young, and you have never taken care of these things.
I don't think it's better to be like this, I'm not in good health during this time, you just follow your uncle, he knows everything about our family, you exercise first, and then hand it over to you. ”
When his father's words have already been said, Su Hong also knows that he is kind, and he really needs a familiar process.
So from this day on, Su Dashao went against the norm and followed Su Cai every day, and finally gradually became familiar with the Su family's industry.
No wonder the Su family is so rich, it turns out that because of the sea, the Su family was doing the most profitable industry at that time, salt!
Moreover, there are more than 20 shops on the street of the Su family, three wharves, and eight large sea boats, which can be regarded as a tyrant in the local area, otherwise he would not have lived until now, and he would have been beaten to death.
There are so many transactions, Su Hong checked the account book for three days, but he was stunned and didn't finish it, because the ancient account book was too cumbersome.
In the end, Su Hong couldn't stand it anymore, so Su Fu found a few credible young house slaves, and they were literate, and taught them Arabic numerals and new bookkeeping methods.
As soon as this method came out, those bookkeepers who originally wanted to see jokes were dumbfounded, and Su Hong only took ten days to check all the accounts in the past three years!
He is too far away to pursue it, and there are many recent problems, and many people are not calm at this time.
"Dad, take a look, do you know how much money our Su family has lost in the past three years?"
At this time, Su You was recuperating well, and he had basically recovered, in fact, he said that he had a heart disease, because his son was not angry, so he had this disease.
Now that Su Hong's prodigal son has turned back, and his performance in the past few days is very similar, Su You is in a good mood, and his illness will naturally be cured.
"Hehe, what's the matter, Hong'er found out the problem? Isn't it just that the people below are greedy for some money, it's not a big deal. Su You, who had a lot of money, said indifferently.
"Oh, my father, what is a little bit, it's eighty-six thousand nine hundred and twenty-three taels, is that a little?"
At this time, Su You was holding a teacup and preparing to drink tea, and his hand shook when he heard this number.
"Hong'er, how much do you say?"
"Dad, our family's deficit in the past three years is not a fraction, and it is more than 80,000 taels!"
As soon as Su Hong finished speaking, Su You's face was full of disbelief, until Su You brought the account book over and explained it carefully for him.
Su You, who has been in business all his life, naturally learns very quickly, and the records on the account book are vivid, and Su You's beard is trembling.
"Smack!"
Su You was furious and smashed the teacup to pieces, and the people outside heard the movement and immediately came in to check.
"Get out!"
The family who came in to see was taken aback, and Su Hong also glanced at him and asked him to leave.
"Wait, Hong'er, where did you get this bookkeeping method?"
Su Hong was stunned for a moment and said, "I came up with it myself, is there a problem?"
After Su Hong finished speaking, Su You first looked at Su Hong for a long time, and then laughed, making Su Hong a little baffled.
"Haha, my son is talented, our Su family is hopeful!"
As soon as Su You said this, Su Hong realized that it should be this bookkeeping method that was nearly a thousand years ahead of Su You that made Su You misunderstand.
However, this is not a matter for Su Hong at all, and there are many ways to get this time in the future, which is not a new thing.
"Dad, now is not the time to care about me, what should you do about this. ”
"Well, Hong'er, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"I, if you want me to say, naturally let them eat it and spit it it out!"
As soon as Su Hong's words came out, Su You faintly felt that something was wrong, because his business was so big now, and the people below were indispensable.
But doing business requires sincerity and trust, and you can't be merciful to some people at all, not to mention that 80,000 taels is not a small amount, and a person who has a few hundred taels in his life can't starve to death in these years.
"In this case, then I will leave this matter to you, if you can complete the matter in the end, the affairs of the family will be left to you in the future!"
"Come on, then Dad, you can watch it!"
Su Hong got the holy decree, and he no longer had any worries, and used some means in later generations, both soft and hard, to rectify all the business of his family.
Although many people have been offended, there are also many people who are convinced, the Su family's business has gone to the next level, and people who propose relatives have also come one after another.
On August 15, the Su family was happy, the old man Su was 60th birthday, and Su Dashao got married.
That night, the Su Mansion was full of high-ranking friends, and there were many guests, except for some businessmen, and even several officials came.
In the territory of Dengzhou, there is basically no one who does not buy the Su family's account, and Su Xu is an official in the court, and his power is in full swing.
On this day, Su Dashao was very happy, and he was also very satisfied with the bride, I heard that she was the daughter of a family, not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Such a woman can marry him as a businessman, which can be regarded as a very face-saving woman.
The banquet was in full swing, and the family suddenly came to report, saying that there was an old way outside, and he wanted to ask for a cup of wine.
On the day of great joy, naturally no one would embarrass him, so Lao Dao came in, and when he saw Su Hong's face, he was startled at that time, and turned around to leave.
Su Hong was a little smoky at this time, and he was a little unhappy when he saw that the Taoist was leaving, so he shouted: "Stop, don't leave!"
