338. Chapter 338
Su Liu wants to move the fourth room of the Cao family, not just talking, but doing what he says.
The Cao family's four-room people are prosperous, the main source of income, is the spice business, has been managed by the eldest son of the fourth room Cao Guoqing, Cao Guoqing is also a unique vision, so many years, but also this business is very good, although it is not a big wealth, but compared to other houses, the four rooms are also considered thin and have a family property.
However, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, compared to Cao Kui's luck, this spice business, that is, a small thing, naturally wants to be richer. I thought that this heir was bound to succeed, but he killed a Cheng to bite the gold, Cao Kui didn't marry for many years, and suddenly married a wife again, and now he is still old and has children, so he naturally can't sit still.
The matter of Chen's black hand was exposed, and the people in the four rooms and five rooms pushed out an inconspicuous girl to talk back, and the charges were even more unwarranted, saying that they looked down on the Chen family, and what they said that they had been fond of Cao Kui for a long time, and they were messy.
Cao Kui was angry in his heart, in the end, because he had the patriarch's guarantee on such a little family affection, he revealed the matter, but he didn't have anything to do with the people in these two rooms.
The hearts of the four rooms and five rooms are unwilling, but they are at fault for this matter first, and now they are lucky not to pursue it, just wait for this matter to pass, and then move around slowly, but they forgot that there is still a Su Liu who will be revenged.
Sometimes, people are not necessarily a good thing, just like the throne, there is only one throne, a lot of sons, everyone wants to be the person who is high up to guide the world, this in the big family, there are also a lot of brothers who read the wall for the family property and power, and the four rooms are no exception.
"These four rooms are interesting, the eldest son is the son of his ex-wife, and the second son Cao Guohua's third son Cao Guoyuan was born to his stepwife, but on the contrary, the fourth master loves Cao Guohui, the concubine born in this concubine's room, the most." Su Liu took the information he got and sneered.
In the past, when the Chen family was not married to Cao Kui, Su Liu accompanied her to get a rough understanding of the people in each room of the Cao family, but she only knew that there was such a person, as for the relationship inside, she had not carefully understood it, but now she looks at it like this, it is extremely interesting.
"Twelve shops, this Cao Guoqing can be regarded as having some ability, and he can open so many shops in just one spice business." Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and said.
Chen Ye is already twelve and thirteen, and he has passed the Tongsheng exam, in order to let him understand more about the world and see more of the twists and turns in it, Su Liu specially pulled him to discuss this matter, which can be regarded as cultivating him.
"Spices, whether they are used by men and women, it is inevitable to make money, otherwise the imperial court will not have restrictions, just like tea, they are commonly used, can it not make money?" Su Liu smiled slightly.
"Eldest sister, what are you going to do?"
Su Liu stared coldly at the information on the table and said, "Internal division." ”
Internal differentiation? Chen Ye blinked.
"Ye'er, one bamboo is easy to break, ten bamboos together is not easy, you should have heard this story, it is unity, the so-called brothers work together to break the gold, this is the truth. In the same way, if you take apart the ten beads, do you think it is easy to fold or not? ”
"What do you mean, eldest sister?" Chen Ye asked thoughtfully, "Break them up from within?" ”
"We don't need to fight at all, these three parties all have their own thoughts, the eldest son is in power, and the second son is born to the stepfamily, but on the contrary, the fourth master favors the concubine, do you think these brothers will be concentric?" Su Liu sneered.
"But isn't the eldest son in power now? It's been like this for so many years, and I haven't seen them fight. Chen Ye frowned.
"Not fighting doesn't mean that you don't want to, there is another reason, that is, interests, if you suddenly realize that you deserve less, or the other party has more, what will you think? Is it a fight or not? The family property is just like this, everyone wants the big head, and whoever has the power is the boss. ”
"Who's in the hands of the power, and who's the boss?" Chen Ye muttered a sentence.
"That's right! There is an internal dispute, there is a dispute, there is a contradiction, and if there is a contradiction, people will take advantage of the void, and the roots will rot out from the inside, and one day rot to the outside. Su Liu coldly curled the corners of his lips and said, "I want them to have four rooms, and watch their things disappear little by little." ”
"So what are we going to do now, send someone in?"
"Why bother, isn't this Cao Guohua also in charge of three shops? Hasn't he always been dissatisfied with Cao Guoqing? Give him some sweetness, let him fight boldly, when a bubble rises bigger and bigger, and finally bang! Su Liu made a gesture, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, obviously smiling, but that smile made people shudder.
Don't you like silver, then she will set up a fairy bureau for them, and lead them to jump down step by step, killing him in the fourth room.
Chen Ye looked up at her, and suddenly felt that the eldest sister in front of him was more calm than before, and her momentum was more cold, and it was even more incomprehensible.
Soon, it was reported that the four rooms and two sons of the Cao family happened to meet a merchant surnamed Liao who made spices, and the other party said that there was a way to smuggle spices, but unfortunately he couldn't get the spice seal, so he wanted to cooperate with the Cao family, and the Cao family only needed to make a seal, that is, to be an intermediate agent, and they could get forty percent of the profits.
However, the other party was not very confident about the current sovereign and decent business methods, so Cao Guohua asked to participate in the management of other shops. Cao Guoqing advocates conservative management, after all, the other party is unknown, don't be greedy for that cheap, Cao Guohua feels that it is a fool not to make money, in order to fight for power, the two sides are open and secretly quarrelsome.
Although Cao Guoqing is the eldest son, his mother is long gone, and his father is a favored concubine, since there is a more profitable way, the final outcome is naturally biased towards Cao Guohua, and the Liao Dong family started a so-called big business, and soon negotiated a large order of nearly 100,000 yuan with other small businesses.
With such a large amount of business, Cao Guohua is walking with the wind, from the surname Liao's purchase, he is as a middleman, just send out the Cao family's spice seal, you can easily get tens of thousands of taels of silver, how to look at it is a big pie!
So, this Liao merchant went back to pull the goods, and he was in full swing and Cao Guoqing fought for the main control.
And Cao Guohui, the four-room concubine, heard the words of the future separation, he only had one or two shops, so he instigated Master Cao to privately transfer the three shops and the grange to his name, but this matter was somehow coincidentally known by the other three sons, so the war began.
The four rooms broke up!
At this time, Cao Guohua originally talked about a good business, but there was a problem, the so-called merchant needed to use silver to dredge the goods on the grounds that the goods were detained in the official office, let Cao Guohua help, and use the goods as collateral, and in the future, the profits of this batch of goods will also be privately shared with Cao Guohua.
There must always be relevant approvals and seals for this spice, Cao Guohua also knows this, and has also learned about it, and the goods have indeed been detained. Anyway, everyone is cooperating, and this batch of goods is equivalent to their own silver, and in the future, the extra share will also go into their own pockets, so they privately embezzled 40,000 taels of public accounts, and finally dragged the goods back.
Liao Keshang was naturally grateful, and Cao Guohua called him a brother, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and when Cao Guohua woke up, the building was empty.
It's just a matter of you leaving, there are still a large number of spices there, and Cao Guohua didn't take it seriously, but when the merchants who ordered those orders came to the door, Cao Guohua felt that something was wrong.
After reading all the spices, he was stunned.
Spices are spices, yes, but they are all expired things that have been blistered for a long time and have long been moldy, let alone buying, but you can't stand it.
That is, he bought a bunch of waste for 40,000 taels! With this realization in his mind, Cao Guohua fainted suddenly.
When he woke up, he was not waiting for him, but was told that the 80,000 taels had already been taken away by the man surnamed Liao, that is to say, this big business was indeed done, but the goods had not been sent out yet, and you Cao Guohua had to deliver the goods to the merchants.
What, shouting injustice? The shop is yours, the guarantor is also yours, and the spice prints are all yours, do you want to repay the debt? Let's go, see the official!
Cao Guohua naturally couldn't see the officials, so he had to use his own spices to send goods to those merchants, and he also emptied the foundation of the four rooms.
Lost nearly 120,000 taels of property at once, the capital turnover could not come, the operation of the shop was completely paralyzed, and half of the shop was closed at once, Master Cao was so angry that he vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood, and his hair turned gray overnight, and he collapsed on the bed.
Cao Guoqing and Cao Guohui naturally didn't do the silver lost because of Cao Guohua, they quarreled every day to divide the family, and the rest of the shops must not be given to Cao Guohua and them, and the 120,000 taels that were deceived because of Cao Guohua naturally had to be counted in their room.
The matter of the four rooms of the Cao family is embarrassing, this room is the most prosperous in the Cao family, although it is not as rich as Cao Kui, because there are many children, although it is difficult for people in the same clan, but there are more than a dozen shops, and they are made of spices, compared to many merchants in this city, they are already rich.
But on the contrary, such wealth is gone, and they all say that they have been suspected by others, and they don't know who has made such a trip.
And with the bad luck of the fifth room, after the best learned son Xiucai in the fifth room was brushed down, people said who made you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, and everyone knew it.
Chen's pregnancy with a child was almost blackened, and it is not a secret in the Cao family, they all know what is going on, and then they only gave up when Cao Kui was in love, but only Su Liu was missing.
is that the fourth room and the fifth room vaguely know that it is Su Liu's handwriting, but there is no evidence, and people have such a backstage, so they don't dare to say anything, but Cao Mingyan in the fourth room doesn't know how to scold Su Liu viciously.
Su Liu was not annoyed, let her scold, the next day, a matchmaker came to the door to the fourth room, saying that the Qingzhou Yuncheng Taishou took a fancy to Cao Mingyan and wanted to accept her as the twelfth concubine, Cao Mingji completely fainted after hearing it, and did not dare to trouble Su Liu again.
That's too guarded, but he's a lustful old man of nearly sixty!
