Li Zhuoyuan and the others were full of incredulity, Li Zhuoyuan instinctively wanted to protest, but he didn't know what to think, so he closed his mouth and remained silent.

The female young east of the textile industry has a long history!

In this industry, because the weavers are mainly women, women are the main force in the industry. The daughters of those big families therefore have the opportunity to participate in the management of the family, and those with outstanding qualifications stand out from the brothers and take charge of the family business.

Guo Zhinu, who is famous in history, was the Shaodong of the Guo family before she got married, and even her three brothers listened to her; Mrs. Li was also the Shaodong of the Guo family before she got married. There is also the Yan family, a textile family in Huizhou, and there have also been many female young people.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Hanyao became the Shaodong of the Li family, the strange thing is that he became a female Shaodong at the age of five, and Dajing was the first!

Even if Li Hanyao's qualifications are high, there is no credit or skill at the moment, how to be the Shaodong of the Li family?

Li Zhuoyuan wanted to stop Li Zhuohang, but then shut up, because he thought: Li Zhuohang only has this one daughter, Li Hanyao has no brothers and sisters, no matter what his qualifications are, he will be the Shaodong of the Li family in the future. Why should he talk too much about being a wicked person and making Li Zhuohang unhappy? Anyway, it can't change the result. It's better to wait another five or six years. Five or six years later, Li Hanyao will start to discuss marriage, and then see how Li Zhuohang arranges. You won't give this family business to your daughter as a dowry, right? Forgive him for not having the guts, otherwise a hundred years later, how would he go underground to see his ancestors?

When the others saw that Li Zhuoyuan was silent, they didn't have the courage to come forward.

Li Zhuohang didn't seem to care about their reaction, and then announced: Li Zhuoer was promoted to the chief treasurer and would be sent to Jingtai Mansion in Huzhou to manage the second largest workshop of the Li family; Li Zhuoran will go to Huzhou with him and do some pen and ink errands by his side.

Li Zhuoer was stunned for an instant, as if he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't believe it, but everyone looked at him, and the surprise in his eyes was stronger than his own, and he realized that it was true, and he grinned before he spoke, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Another big joy is Li Zhuoran.

Li Zhuoyuan was not nominated, ashamed and embarrassed, and his face turned red. He suppressed his unhappiness, tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, first smiled and congratulated Li Zhuoer, and then asked Li Zhuohang: "Zhuoer is really enviable." But what great feats have you done? Can you talk about it? We are also very willing to ask for progress. ”

Others are not as good as him to cover it up, the third master of the Li family nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes, the promotion must also convince everyone." ”

Li Zhuohang didn't speak, and nodded to the ink housekeeper who was sitting on the side, and the ink housekeeper hurriedly opened the account books on the table, announcing the profit and loss status of eighteen shops in Huizhou, Huzhou and other places, and the increase and decrease of customers, all of which are managed by the Li clan.

As of the end of August, the Hecheng shop managed by Li Zhuoer had the best income.

First of all, the dividends of just eight months have already exceeded the earnings of last year; Secondly, the number of customers has doubled, not only increasing many retail investors, establishing a good reputation in the local area, but also winning a maritime merchant in Mingzhou for the Li family and signing a large order for cotton cloth to go to sea. Since this order was sent from the main firm, the dividends were attributed to the head dealer and not to his account; If it is attributed to his account, the income of the shops in Hecheng is more than that.

Li Zhuoyuan blurted out: "Is this really his credit?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Of course. Whose is it otherwise? ”

Li Zhuoyuan wanted to speak and stopped, very puzzled: Li Zhuoer is as honest as a stone pimple, even Li Hanyao, a child of a few years old, can tease him, can he have such a benefit? It is clear that Li Zhuohang is partial to him!

Why?

Because Li Zhuoer is so controlling!

Li Zhuoyuan is very confident in his ability, but Li Zhuohang is jealous of him and unwilling to reuse him, so he secretly does tricks and feet, promotes an honest person like Li Zhuoer, and makes an appearance of appointing according to ability, to gag the mouths of the clansmen. However, he couldn't find fault, and asked again: "What about Zhuo Ran?" ”

Li Zhuoran didn't do much.

Li Zhuohang said: "Zhuo Ran is not a material for doing business. I took him to Huzhou to help him and provide him with opportunities: first, he could study with peace of mind and not have to work for his livelihood; Second, you can make friends with some literati students and broaden your horizons. If he can take the test to show his talent and fame, he will also fulfill his father's wish. He only said that he hoped that Li Zhuoran would be admitted to Xiucai, but he did not say that he would be admitted to the Jinshi, because he knew that it was impossible.

Li Zhuoyuan said with a smile: "The head of the family is hard working, and it can be seen every day. Zhuo Ran will not live up to his brother's cultivation, and he will definitely be able to go to high school in the future. At that time, my Li family will be able to follow suit, and there will be people in the officialdom to protect them. ”

If you don't pay attention, you won't hear the irony.

Because he doesn't think so in his heart.

He thought about the choice of an heir.

He believes that Li Zhuohang intends to choose Li Tianhua as his heir, leaving Li Tianming alone. Li Tianhua is also a plan for rights and interests, because Li Tianhua is only four years old this year, much younger than Li Tianming, and it will take more than ten years to take on the task. During this period, it would be better if the Jiang family could give birth to a son, and if they really couldn't, they would succeed.

Li Zhuoyuan's grievances are beyond words.

This grievance cannot be appealed to.

It is not up to him to choose who he chooses as his heir!

Li Zhuoran didn't think so, thinking that Li Zhuohang valued his ambitions, so he spent money to cultivate him, expecting him to become a help in the future officialdom of the Li family.

He couldn't help but be complacent and high-spirited.

Li Zhuohang saw Li Zhuoyuan's ridicule and Li Zhuoran's excitement in his eyes, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't explain - he helped Li Zhuoran to take the Xiucai exam, not for the Li family, otherwise it would be easier for him to make a name for himself.

He has always adhered to the attitude of "it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish" to his people, and arranged appointments according to the characteristics and abilities of each of them.

Li Zhuoran didn't know anything about business except for reciting "Zhihu Ye", so he asked him to do things in the shop, but he was just messing around; If you can take the test for a show, get an errand in the academy, and add the monthly gluttony of the show, your livelihood will be settled.

Li Zhuohang didn't want to care about him originally, thinking that after studying for so many years, he couldn't even get a show talent, and even if he was talented, he was not the material for the imperial examination. There are established rules and regulations for the imperial examinations, and some scholars with outstanding talents cannot adapt to them. However, when I saw his son Li Tianhua yesterday, I felt very smart, and I was worried that if I was a father, I would mistake the cultivation of my children. - Li Tianhua's grandmother stole chicken legs for him to eat, and picked up snails to cook for him, which shows that life is poor. Li Zhuohang's heart softened, and he had a mouthful today, obviously to help Li Zhuoran, but in fact, for Li Tianhua.

As for the successor Li Tianhua, he didn't think about it.

At that moment, Li Zhuohang asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Li Zhuoyuan smiled: "It's gone, it's very proper." ”

Everyone also said, "No, I asked." ”

Li Zhuohang waved his hand: "Then disperse." ”

Coming out of the council hall, many clansmen congratulated and flattered Li Zhuoran, as if he had won the show, and his son Li Tianhua had been passed on to Li Zhuohang as his heir, and the fame and wealth gathered together, and the prospects were very good!

The third old lady and the fourth old lady are the heirs Li Tianming, so their hearts are towards Li Zhuoyuan's room, and when they see this situation, they can't help frowning.

The third old lady comforted Li Zhuoyuan and said: "This matter is not decided yet, there is still a chance to ...... tomorrow"

Li Zhuoyuan hurriedly said: "It's the best." ”

The third old lady looked at him suspiciously.

Li Zhuoyuan said: "I can't bear to see the sky. Now it's okay, let Zhuo Ran pass over. My son doesn't have to give it away. "The face was relieved and relaxed.

The two old ladies admired his character very much.

The fourth old lady said: "That being said, Zhuo Ran only has one son in Tianhua, and he has passed on, and he doesn't leave incense behind him?" If you want to wait for another one later, if you can't give birth to it, what will you do then? ”

Li Zhuoyuan said: "Maybe my younger brother and sister are already pregnant." ”

It's more like a joke.

He looked in the direction of Li Zhuoran, with sarcasm in his eyes - ridiculing Li Zhuoran for selling his son for glory, and even ignoring the incense behind him.
