With the passage of time, the news of the drought in Youzhou spread to various places like the wind, and became the focus of people's discussion after dinner.

People with a sense of crisis think about whether to make some preparations as soon as possible, people who want to make money think about whether to take advantage of the opportunity to make a windfall, and kind people look at the displaced victims and think about whether to give a little help...... No matter what happened to everyone, the imperial merchants were discussing this matter now, and they didn't think about the disaster victims, they only thought about how to avoid losing their benefits.

In the study of the Chu family, the head of Chu and his sons were discussing the matter.

Thinking about his life in the past half a year, Chu Da was very happy in his heart, patted the table, stared, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Zhong Xuanlan is worthy of being the head of the family elected by Old Man Zhong, and Lao Tzu was miserable by this dead girl." ”

Since taking over as the president of the World Chamber of Commerce, he has not had a comfortable day, and he has been fighting wits and courage with others every day.

When the palace and the imperial mausoleum were built, although the Xu family took out some of the money, the one in the palace also asked him to go to the merchant to ask for money, and he took the order to do things, but the merchant was offended, if it were not for the Chu family in Kyoto City is a century-old family with a solid foundation, it is likely to be squeezed out of the list of imperial merchants.

Later, at the Five Nations Conference, the one in the palace still wanted the merchants to pay money, but he was afraid that he would offend all the people at once, so he took part of the money from the Chamber of Commerce and gave part of the money from himself, so that the event ended successfully.

However, there was a shortage of funds on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, and he thought that the Chamber of Commerce was not the merchant's, so he planned to let the merchants voluntarily contribute money to maintain the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, but the merchants thought that he had embezzled the money, and sued him to the household department, almost dismissing him.

After the truth came out, the merchants asked to quit the Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that he was wrongly blamed.

He didn't want to be an empty president, and he went door-to-door to bring people back.

When he was busy with his work, he had to be busy with the military rations, and now he had just collected the military rations, and the one in the palace yesterday asked him and the household department to gather the drought relief food.

If he had known that this would be the case, he should have listened to his third son and let the Zhong family continue to be the president.

Chu Feng glanced at the regretful Chu Da master, when he was elected, he asked him not to take over, he didn't listen, didn't he see that Zhong Xuanlan had advanced the election of the president of the Chamber of Commerce?

When Zhong Xuanlan's family left Kyoto City, he asked him to step down as chairman on the grounds of illness, and even scolded himself if he didn't listen.

Seeing Chu Feng's disgusted eyes, the master of Chu said unhappily: "What kind of eyes are you, hurry up and think of a way for Lao Tzu, how to raise disaster relief food?" ”

Chu Feng said: "Let the eldest brother and the second brother think, people like me who don't learn and don't know how to do anything, if they have any good ideas, they are all crooked and heretical." ”

When the master of Chu heard this, he felt that this was very familiar, and he remembered it in the blink of an eye, this is not what he scolded him, this is the hardening of his wings, and he glanced at Chu Feng unhappily, however, the master of Chu did not let Chu Feng come up with ideas again, but looked at the other two sons and said, "What ideas do you have?" ”

Both shook their heads.

Chu Feng smiled, just the appearance of the two of them, they still want to occupy all the Chu family, no way, now he should go to that person to help, otherwise the Chu family in his hands is an empty shell, and it will not be fun.

Chu Da said: "You hurry up and find a way for me, otherwise, I will give Chu Feng the inheritance." ”

The two glanced at each other, looking at Chu Feng's eyes full of disdain, Chu Dashao turned his head to look at Chu Da and said, "Dad, my son is thinking about whether we can take the opportunity to transfer the business and reduce it like the Zhong family, we are not profitable, and the one in the palace will not let us pay a lot of money." ”

Chu Ershao said: "Yes, Dad, you go to the one in the palace who is crying and crying poor, so that the one in the palace will not let our family live a poor life!" ”

Hearing this, Master Chu showed a thoughtful look, and Chu Feng laughed: "Haha...... Crying poor, eldest brother, second brother, you just wait to be raided! ”

Do you really think you are another Zhong Xuanlan?

The same method is feasible for the Zhong family, but it may be a catastrophe for their Chu family!

Chu Dashao stared at Chu Feng unhappily, and said with a smile: "What is the best way for the third brother?" ”

Chu Feng shook his head.

Seeing that the three sons had no choice, the Chu family was extremely disappointed, seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, he reluctantly sent the three of them away, and sat in the study thinking about the future of the Chu family.

On the other side, the atmosphere in the Liu family's study was not very good.

Master Liu looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "The prince can come to look for you?" ”

Liu Yuan nodded slightly: "I didn't agree to his request, he left angrily, it is estimated that the princess will toss things." ”

Alas, his comfortable days are gone!

With Liu Da Dang's serious illness, Liu Yuan has slowly taken over the Liu family, and Kyoto City has lost the Zhong family, a competitor, so that Liu Yuan has lived a very comfortable life in the past half a year, if there is no prince and the Sun family, he will definitely live very comfortably, and now his status in the Liu family is already the same.

Liu Da said: "The prince will not give up, do you have a good way to deal with it?" ”

Liu Yuan looked at the ice cubes that were bubbling with a hint of cold air, and hesitated a little, he didn't know if he could have Zhong Xuanlan's courage to let the Liu family only be a merchant and not be attached to any party's power.

Liu Da looked at the distracted person and shook his head slightly, the foundation of his Liu family is here, and it is too late to transfer now, unless the drought ends safely and the war is late, otherwise, the Liu family will definitely not be able to escape and will lose a small part, or even a large part of its wealth.

However, for the loss of wealth, how to minimize the loss and seek the maximum benefit, this must be thought through before acting.

"We don't have the courage of the Zhong family, we don't have Zhong Xuanlan's foresight, but we can let the Zhong family pull us, I think Zhong Xuanlan will be happy to make a move."

Zhong Xuanlan, Jiang is still old and spicy, my Liu family was able to use your Zhong family to get through the crisis of the Five Kingdoms War, and now my Liu family wants to borrow your Zhong family's hand to stay away from the crisis, even if you leave, you can't get rid of it, it is my Liu family's shield for refuge!

Liu Yuan asked curiously, "How can Zhong Xuanlan's fox help us?" ”

Liu Da said: "Zhong Xuanlan will do it, and he will help us willingly." ”

However, Liu Da had no intention of telling Liu Yuan this secret.

If Zhong Xuanlan chooses to help, he will hide it until death, if he is unwilling, when the crisis arises, he will use this chip in exchange for the glory of the Liu family's life.

Seeing this, a hint of calculation appeared in Liu Yuan's eyes, thinking that he must figure things out.
