It's nothing to deal with Su Jun, after all, he is a subordinate, and a person like Su Jun is very young, he doesn't have much experience, he is by no means cunning, when he marries his wife, he wears a green hat, his heart is unbalanced, and he is about to get angry when he has the opportunity, and it is driven by such thoughts that he does things unscrupulously and has a good handle.

Su Tiancheng's real opponent is the eldest wife.

Su Tiancheng's mother has been dead for seventeen years, so that in his impression, there is no image of a mother at all, and he faintly knows that his mother was the maid next to the eldest wife.

Don't underestimate marrying with a maid, on the surface it is a luxury performance, in fact, the internal reason is very critical, the man of a large family, or the family of a businessman, it is impossible to have only one original match, all of them are to take a concubine, the original match brought the maid over, in most cases, the man takes a concubine, are the original maid, so that the position of the original match at home is very consolidated, even if the man is outside the concubine, the woman who comes in, does not dare to challenge the authority of the original match, even if the man has the heart to maintain the concubine, it is not good.

Some people say that the background of the eldest lady is very tough, as if she is a maid of an official family, after marrying Su Huawen, she helped Su Huawen do a good job, and some people even said that the eldest lady can climb to the relationship between the ministers of the current imperial court.

It is precisely because of this situation that the authority of the eldest lady in the mansion is extraordinary.

Su Tiancheng has his own judgment, the reason why such rumors appear can only show that the background of the eldest lady is not good at all, to establish his own prestige and image, the best way is to create a momentum, people can't figure it out, the three of them become tigers, and slowly others will believe it.

Since his mother is the maid next to the eldest wife, if the eldest lady used to be a maid of an official eunuch's family, how could there be a maid by her side.

The emergence of this situation shows that the eldest wife is not simple.

The merchant's house is a bit complicated, and things that like the new and hate the old often appear, if the eldest lady doesn't want to do something, how can she control the house, how can she become the real master.

It is difficult for a Qing official to interrupt family affairs, and Su Tian doesn't want to make Su Mansion restless, but it's a pity that this eldest lady is still too ruthless. Faintly, he had already felt a lot of things.

Because he reads well, the eldest lady doesn't look good, the eldest wife's two sons, Su Tianhao and Su Tianran, are not very good at reading, the old man only has three sons, if he gets ahead, how this property is still unclear, so the eldest wife tried her best, but she had to do it publicly, this time she left herself in Pingyang Fucheng, what was her mind, I can't say, maybe she was looking for an opportunity.

Su Tiancheng will not have those pedantic thoughts, what a big wife, in the final analysis, it is a stepmother, fortunately her life is hard, she was not tortured to death, if you want to honor this aunt yourself, what do you say about loyalty and filial piety, dream about it, the feelings are mutual.

can deal with the affairs of Su Fu, and can't make too much trouble, after all, it is such an era, the eldest wife is the master of the house, and when she has not really achieved fame, she openly works against the eldest lady and tears her face, which is not a good thing. This does not mean that you can't show toughness, you can't be weak, you have to be self-reliant and self-reliant, so that the eldest wife feels taboo, don't dare to be presumptuous easily, don't dare to deal with herself, only in this way, can you live a peaceful and stable life, and stay until you get fame in the future, and everything will be easy to handle.

What happened in Su Mansion in Pingyang Prefecture, the eldest lady of Taiyuan Mansion will soon know, after all, most of the people in the mansion were left by the eldest lady by name, and someone must have reported the news.

Therefore, Su Tiancheng was already very careful, the reason why he asked Su Pingyang to be a direct housekeeper was from the perspective of safety, if he died violently in the mansion one day, it would be too cost-effective.

To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to concentrate one's own strength.

Shanxi Pingyang Prefecture has six prefectures under its jurisdiction, and the capital is in Linfen County, which was later known as Linfen City. It borders Shaanxi Province to the east, Taiyuan and Fenzhou to the south, Qinzhou, Lu'an and Zezhou to the west, and Henan Province to the north, which is the east gate of Shanxi Province.

Because of historical reasons, Shanxi Province is not very rich, even poor, it belongs to the Central Plains region, every time the imperial court changes, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it has suffered countless baptisms of war.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the richest place is still in the south, the four prefectures of western Zhejiang: Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Huzhou Mansion, is a rich place of oil, famous in the world, followed by Huguang and Liangguang.

Shanxi and Yunnan are recognized as poor places.

Shanxi's businessmen are particularly many, the land here is barren, you can't get much income, you can only turn to business, and the outflow of population in Shanxi is very much, a lot of Shanxi people, have gone to the north and south of Zhili, and even Huguang, after going out, they don't want to come back, Shanxi people themselves feel that there is not much way out, can only be desperate in business, over the years, there are a lot of businessmen, hundreds of years later, Jin merchants are famous all over the country, there is also a certain reason.

Su Tiancheng's father, Su Huawen, is a typical representative of this aspect.

Su Huawen was born in a family of merchants, the son inherited his father's business, the hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty was strict, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen were ranked last, if they could not achieve fame, they would always live at the bottom, although they were rich, but they had no social status, so many businessmen, while trying their best to make money, must be looking forward to their children being able to get fame, this kind of thinking of honoring the ancestors, ordinary people are simply difficult to understand.

When Su Huawen was young, he also studied hard, but unfortunately he was not born with reading materials, and after taking the exam for many years, he was still a child, and he didn't get any talent, so he simply gave up and did business with peace of mind.

God is fair, Su Huawen can't achieve fame, but doing business is booming, it has always been very smooth, so many years, faintly become one of the best businessmen in Shanxi Province, even Shanxi political envoy Yamen, know the way.

This kind of fame is not a good thing, there is no fame in itself, in order to maintain the family business, you need to invest a lot of money and bribe officials at all levels, otherwise, people will find a reason for it, and you will suffer.

The merchants of Shanxi, who were born weak, bear much higher taxes than those in the south, which seems a little unfair, because the southern region is so rich that it bears less taxes. Of course, there is a premise in this, that is, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was pitifully low, and the thirty tax was one, which may not be able to be implemented.

In the imperial court, the vast majority of the cabinet ministers are from the south, and the students in the south are indeed more good at studying, and there are more people who have gained fame in the examination, and they control the government, of course, they want to speak for the big landlords and big businessmen in the south, so the big landowners and big businessmen in the south can get a lot of benefits.

There are some situations, Su Tiancheng still hasn't figured it out, for example, his father Su Huawen moved to Taiyuan Mansion for Lu, the regional concept of doing business is very strong, Su Huawen is a native of Pingyang Mansion, and he will not move the place easily, unless the business opportunities in Taiyuan are particularly good, but Taiyuan is the provincial capital of Shanxi, and in that place, I don't know how many bureaucrats there are in Ludao, not to mention that there is a famous vassal king in Taiyuan Fucheng: Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin.

This Zhu Xianxuan is not simple, Zhu Qiugui's son, although he has no power, but he is particularly good at collecting money, he is so rich that he has accumulated countless treasures in his family, and finally Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan Mansion, all the treasures were obtained by Li Zicheng, and he took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the ending was not good.

Su Tiancheng faintly knew that during the great famine in Shanxi, the Jin king Zhu Xianxuan stubbornly guarded his wealth and food, and refused to take it out, and the most excessive thing was that Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan Mansion, and Zhu Xianxuan, who was in Taiyuan, refused to take out the silver and distribute it to the soldiers in the city to resist when it came to life and death.

Of course, these are all descriptions of history, whether there is an exaggeration, Su Tiancheng is not very clear, since he has traveled to the Ming Dynasty, all the situations need to be figured out by himself.

Thinking of this, Su Tiancheng felt that his task was still very heavy, and there were too many things to do.
