Zhao Yuanqi was speechless, and was even a little impatient with Zhao Pingguang's attitude, and asked rhetorically:

"Uncle said lightly, uncle knows what kind of craftsmen are needed to run a time-honored porcelain kiln, and now the competition in the porcelain shop is the most fierce, there are no good craftsmen, and my Zhao family has never set foot in this area, how can I beat those time-honored merchants?"

After a pause, he stared at Zhao Pingguang, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and continued: "Besides, I also heard that the Tao family has been able to make the porcelain business in full swing over the years, not by relying on their own craftsmanship at all, but by relying on the power in the palace to buy and sell, they colluded with the government to forcibly buy porcelain from famous kilns, and then sell them in the name of the Tao family's own porcelain kiln. ”

"Da Lang, you are simply talking nonsense", Zhao Pingguang refused to believe his words, and argued with reason: "We also have a lot of porcelain produced by the Tao family, and how could she deceive Wulang's daughter-in-law." ”

"Heh", Zhao Yuanqi sneered:

"Uncle listened to the words of Goro's daughter-in-law all day long, what kind of thoughts did she have, uncle I am afraid that he really had to ask, why did the porcelain sent into the palace by the Tao family last year have problems, it is because the Tian family and his party are doing nonsense outside, and the use of power for personal gain has caused the dissatisfaction of many local gentry, and they have joined forces to boycott the Tao family, in fact, the Tao family has been unable to dominate the porcelain industry as early as two years ago, it is nothing more than squeezing the robbed craftsmen and forcing them to produce porcelain."

Zhao Pingguang's face gradually turned down, and he suddenly seemed to realize something.

Even Suning'er was dumbfounded.

She has always felt that the water of the Tao family is very deep, and the business she does must be a little unclean, but she didn't expect that even the proud porcelain business is mixed with such water.

It is no wonder that they were able to become the richest man in the country in just ten years.

Zhao Yuanqi looked at Zhao Yuanbai, and then said: "San Lang, don't blame me for targeting my uncle, I really have no choice, after all, the money invested in it is the hard work accumulated by each room, if it is really from my uncle, not only will these silver money be lost, then our entire Zhao family will probably be finished." ”

Zhao Yuanbai glanced at Zhao Pingguang hatefully, forced a smile and replied to Zhao Yuanqi: "Brother is serious, if it weren't for my brother to find out the bottom of the Tao family, I wouldn't know that the Tao family is doing such a thing behind their backs, deceiving the world and stealing fame, bullying the weak, it is really hateful." ”

"To put it this way, the business of this porcelain kiln is indeed undoable", Suninger looked around at everyone and deliberately said to Zhao Pingguang and his wife:

"First, our Zhao family has not done this business in this business, as the elder brother of Dafang said, it is not easy to be a time-honored brand, let alone in such a harsh environment of fierce competition; Besides, even if our Zhao family is a big family, we will spend a lot of money to compete for skilled craftsmen at a high price to occupy the market, and in the end, I am afraid that it will be the result of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of ourselves, so that everyone has no money to make, so why bother. ”

"What the younger brother and sister said is very true", Zhao Yuanqi smiled, looked at Zhao Pingguang again, and said bluntly: "So uncle, let's take care of the family at home, don't toss anymore, and let the brothers and sisters in each room calm down their anger." ”

"Say it lightly", Zhao Shilang didn't care, and retorted: "I'm afraid this anger is not so easy to calm down, San Lang indulged his uncle to do such a thing, and almost caused the Zhao family to fall into a catastrophe, thanks to the big brother, you are aware of everything, I think it's better that this family was dispersed earlier, everyone has their own way, and no one can hinder anyone." ”

"Shiro ......"

Zhao Yuanqi looked at Zhao Shilang unhappily, this guy obviously made up his mind and didn't want to stand on the same side with him, interrupted him and continued:

"Big brother doesn't have to persuade me, the big brother's family is living comfortably in Luoyang, even if there is no Zhao family, you can still live smoothly, but we can't, we have to point to this family, today such a thing has not happened before, last year San Lang refused the Tao family's family affairs for the sake of Princess Junning, who was still a concubine, and almost caused the Zhao family to completely overturn, if you don't take advantage of the fact that the Zhao family can still share some family wealth for the brothers in each house to get out earlier, do you really want to accompany him to play with fire and self-immolation?"

The housewife of the fourth room was very unpleasant when she heard his words, and argued angrily: "Shiro, how can you blame your third brother for the incident last year, the rumor that the salt affairs will be collected by the imperial court is not a day or two, our Zhao family, as the largest private salt dealer in the country, is powerless and powerless in the face of such a pass, it is your third brother who has found a new way and brought the Zhao family out of trouble, you take your third brother's good, how can you say this about your third brother?" ”

"Fourth aunt, you don't have to pretend here, yes, to say that San Lang did make a lot of profits for us, but all this is not completely in vain, we have invested money in each house."

Zhao Shilang squinted his eyes disdainfully, and said with mockery: "Besides, since he is in charge of this family, and the old ancestor has put everything in his hands, is it wrong for us to receive what we deserve?" ”

Zhao Yuanbai waved his hand decisively, not angry or happy, and said very calmly: "Okay, you don't have to fight anymore, my father has done such a foolish thing, and the son can't cover him, Shiro is just thinking about splitting up, okay, everyone is expressing their opinions today, there is no need to hide it, who else wants to separate from the Zhao family with Shiro?" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to split up, Zhao Yuanqi immediately became anxious and stopped: "San Lang, you are crazy, how can you mention the matter of splitting up at this time." ”

Zhao Pingguang also said: "Yes, San Lang, don't listen to Shiro's nonsense here, this family is still our father and son, your ancestor is still alive, I don't think anyone dares to mention the matter of splitting the family." ”

While talking, Tao Yunshu slowly walked in with the rest of the little Langjun and little ladies in the third room.

Liu Shi looked at her and said in surprise: "Gorou's daughter-in-law, aren't you—aren't you sick?" ”

"Ahem", Tao Yunshu pretended to be sick and coughed a few times, and said weakly: "The slave family is indeed sick, but I didn't dare not come when I heard that my father summoned me." ”

"You came just in time", Zhao Pingguang motioned for her to sit down on the side, and asked sharply: "Wulang daughter-in-law, how can you deceive me, the Tao family's porcelain kiln is obviously not possible, your family can't produce high-quality porcelain at all, all these years have relied on forced buying and selling, is it possible that you hope that our Zhao family will also follow Ling Zun?" ”

"The slave family came here precisely because of this", Tao Yunshu's eyes were full of sadness, and she lamented: "The slave family also wanted to help Aya make the porcelain business, so he deliberately sent someone to Lingnan to ask for help from his father, who knew that his father had died in a foreign land." ”

"What, Brother Dingqian passed away?" , Zhao Pingguang asked in surprise.

"It is true that the letter was delivered last night, and my wife was heartbroken and fell seriously ill," explained the maid Nguyen.

"But even so, my wife still didn't dare to slack off on the things entrusted by the head of the family, these days I have been ordering people to find the craftsmen who have dispersed from the Tao family, and after careful inquiry, I learned that most of the porcelain in our Tao family in the past was purchased from other families at low prices."

"Hey, the slave family is stupid, and he has never asked much about his father's affairs, and he almost harmed the Zhao family, and the slave family is really ashamed."

Tao Yunshu pretended to make amends, which made Zhao Pingguang not easy to pursue her again, frowning and waving his hand: "Even so, I can't blame you, you are all for this family." ”

"The matter has come to this point, what is the use of uncle going to investigate these again", Zhao Shilang said angrily: "Since everyone is here, San Lang also said it just now, everyone has expressed their stance today, and those who want to separate from the Zhao family should also take advantage of today to make it clear." ”
