Chapter 51: The Zhao Family's Dilemma (5/3): Happy New Year
If Zhao Feng is allowed to inherit the head of the family, it is reasonable to do it, he is the eldest son in the family, isn't it normal for everything to be left to the boss?
But in the Zhao family, it is really abnormal, Zhao Yun himself is very demonic, and most of the family's industries are related to him.
is in the various industrial chains, in the eyes of many departments, the words of the third son are more effective than the head of the family.
This is the case that he is still alive now, of course, Zhao Meng will not be jealous or suppressed because his son is excellent, he will only be happy that the child is better than himself.
If Zilong is allowed to be the head of the family, according to his ability and current connections, there is indeed no problem, and everyone will obey him.
There is one person who must be unconvinced, that is, the eldest son Zhao Feng and Zhao Ziyu, who are about to enter the officialdom, and the spring breeze is proud.
What would he think if he was suddenly told that the family would not be handed over to him in the future?
Ziyu has nothing to say about his character, intelligence and ability, and he has not made a mistake, so why should he be deprived of his inheritance rights?
Although he was preparing to trade with Yuan Shu, it was not a big deal to marry a woman from the Yuan family as his wife.
Today's Zhao Meng is no longer the bitter haha who traveled with the caravan back then, and a lot of the money he earned has to be handed over to the Zhen family, because they have the most capital.
The current Zhen family, in many things, has to look at the face of the Zhao family, because the Zhao family's fist is much bigger than them.
Take the money and take 50 million yuan to marry a concubine, as long as the average family can take it out, it will be done, it is the family of the fourth generation and the third prince, of course it can be attached.
The Zhao family is not good, don't forget how the Zhao family made their fortune in the first place, although Zhao Zhong is in the palace, he faintly plays a role in fixing the sea god needle for the Zhao family's industries everywhere.
And after the Zhao family was really strong, he never made any excessive requests.
Of course, this matter has passed, and no one will mention it in the future, after all, it did not happen.
Besides, who hasn't been young? Back then, Uncle Zhao was jealous of others in the wine shop, and fought for an official slave.
Let Zhao Yun inherit the Zhao family, how to appease Zhao Feng? That's my eldest son.
Zhao Meng was bored for a while, and many past events came to mind.
Zhao Feng is not his first child, there are four more above him, all of them are gone.
So in the eldest son, Zhao Meng and Zhang spent more effort than other children.
If there is no filial piety, Ziyu can survive and thrive, which proves that the Zhao family can continue, be worthy of the ancestors, and no longer be as worried as the child who died before.
"Big brother, do you want to discuss with a few clan elders?" Zhao Zhong saw that the eldest brother was full of sorrow, and he was very unconcerned.
"What are you talking to them about?" Zhao Meng was angry: "I waited for me to return to Zhending like a beggar, who has a hand?" Now it's a shame to let them be clan elders! ”
"Their sons and nephews are all in various places, and they get money on a monthly basis, and there is a reward at the end of the year."
"Second brother, you remember, everything is made by our brothers and one hand."
"If you hadn't gone to Anping, we wouldn't have had a chance to make a comeback. I don't want to hear that again. ”
"Remember, brother!" Zhao Zhong's heart was hot, it turned out that in his brother's heart, he always remembered his own merits.
"Alas, if only the third and fourth brothers were still here." Zhao Meng is full of distraction, the eldest brother is like a father, and the latter two are all brought up by him, and the emotion of being like a father and brother is deeper than that of Zhao Zhong.
In terms of titles, the two brothers are alone together, and naturally according to their own order, they call Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping the second and third.
"Big brother, this is last month's accounts!" Zhao Zhong took out a stack in his hand.
"Don't show me!" Zhao Meng waved his hand: "On weekdays in the army, I never look at heavy grain and grass, you just need to tell me, whether you lose money or not, and how much money you make." ”
"Last month, the most profitable places were Changshan and Luoyang, and the rest of the places were similar to before."
"Overall, salt is still the most profitable. Even if we reduce the shipment of coarse salt, the supply of refined salt is still in short supply. ”
It's not that the Zhao family doesn't want to provide it, but after having refined salt, the Zhao family basically doesn't produce much coarse salt.
In the past, the Zhao family ate the kind that often chuckled their teeth, and they were unwilling to make shoddy products.
"Didn't Zilong say that?" Zhao Mengjing's light flashed: "Raise the price from time to time, and find any reason." ”
"Big brother, since the beginning of this year, the price has risen once a month, and many people still can't buy refined salt and complain to us."
"Second brother, how did you say Zilong's kid knows?" Thinking of his second son, Zhao Meng, with a smile on his face: "At that time, we didn't dare to go all out to make refined salt, he said that the profits here would be bigger and bigger." ”
"Yes, as soon as it was listed, it was sold out." Zhao Zhong is also like a spring breeze: "I remember that back then, you waved your hand and immediately processed it with half of the coarse salt." ”
Talking about the past, the more the brothers talked, the more energetic they became.
As the saying goes, if a person often reminisces about the past, it proves that he is old.
The brothers are not old, and seeing the children grow up, they feel that the courage on their shoulders is getting lighter and lighter, and naturally they have time to slowly reminisce.
Seeing that people were bringing lunch to the table, Zhao Zhong patted his thigh: "Ouch, big brother, I forgot the most important thing!" ”
The Zhao family itself is not a family of etiquette, and they don't strictly abide by food and don't say anything.
Unless there are guests at home, then look at each other, why are the brothers so particular?
Zhao Zhong was not polite at all in front of his brother, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and took a sip of wine.
"You say." Zhao Meng hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, and had been waiting there.
"Oh!" It happened that Zhao Zhong scooped a piece of tofu with a wooden spoon, and he quickly threw it into his mouth.
It was really hot, he took two times before swallowing it, and the hot breath came out of his mouth, and he felt hot in his throat, and it was already burning to his heart, and he was uncomfortable to death.
"Ouch!" Zhao Zhong finally relieved: "It's not about money, some things can't be bought with money." ”
"What's that?" The big tyrant Zhao Meng disagreed, and took a sip of wine.
"The medicinal materials needed for the channeling technique," Zhao Zhong's face was suddenly full of solemnity: "The number of stocks now is not much, and we can only build a foundation for a maximum of one or two thousand people." ”
"Is it all there is to it? That's currently more than 5,000 people earning. Zhao Meng asked and replied: "Second brother, if people don't kill for themselves, our Zhao family will be passed on from generation to generation, slowly." ”
Precious medicinal materials generally take ten years or even a hundred years to have an effect, and there is no way to do this.
Since the day the Zhao family's commercial chain went out, the pace of purchasing medicinal materials has not stopped. You can use medicinal herbs to eat, sleep, and buy salt, as long as the Zhao family has it, you can consume it.
"When the new tribe comes in, they can only give them enough meat, will they be dissatisfied?"
"What's wrong with this!" Zhao Zhong sneered: "Think about the days when they used to be unable to eat. ”
"Come to my Zhao family, three meals a day, it's better than the food of big guys, what else?"
"That's right!" Zhao Meng drank all the wine in the cup: "No wonder Zilong has repeatedly emphasized that our Zhao family is going to the sea, and there should be medicinal materials on the other side of the sea." ”
"It depends on whether the second brother and the third brother can surprise us," Zhao Zhong was still unsure: "The sea is too treacherous, and the salt works are often flooded." ”
Zhao Meng didn't want to refute his younger brother, he was now a kind of blind to his son's words, as long as Zhao Yun said he would do it.
"What happened to the Academy?" He digressed from the subject.
"Brother Zirou is supervising the construction, and everyone is a lot darker." Zhao Zhong has eaten too much meat in the past few years, and he actually likes vegetarian dishes, and scoops up a piece of tofu: "Just wait for Mr. Ciming to come over and start." ”
Speaking of Xun Shuang, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, but it was a wry smile.
