A few months after Cao Yuan's death, Yin Yuanhui let his youngest son, Yin Youchen, officially worship Fan Li as a teacher under the attention of many wealthy people in the city.

There were a lot of people that day, and Fan Li's business was also thriving, and it was not affected at all because of the design of the rice and grain shop for others, but the Cao family's business was getting worse and worse.

Since the last incident, the Cao family has been anxious, and this apprenticeship ceremony, Cao Rang and Cao Ting also came, and the two are no longer as harmonious as before, and their eyes have changed.

The Cao family was rumored before that the two brothers had a dispute in order to compete for the family property, thinking that since ancient times, Cao Rang took the lead, and most of the Cao family's property was taken to him, and the intermediary behind him also gave up Cao Ting.

The banquet began, Fan Li was busy greeting the guests, during the banquet, Cao Ting wanted to talk to Fan Li several times, but Fan Li ignored it, Cao Ting seemed to know that he and his brother had gone too far over the years.

Just when Cao Ting was alone and melancholy, Fan Li asked people to call him to a room.

"Brother, for my brother to know all these years, I'm sorry for you, I have made amends for you."

said that Cao Rang was about to kneel, but Fan Li stopped him.

"There's nothing to be worthy, I'm sorry, my father-in-law's kindness to me, I still remember it, now, Zhu Zi knows his brother's miserable situation, so there is a way to let my brother get out."

The problem of the Cao family, under the nonsense of these two sons, is very serious, the previous main business pottery has basically been in a state of discontinuation, when Fan Li was in charge, the money given to those painters and craftsmen was even higher than in many places, and what they were required to do was to spend their efforts to do it.

These painters and craftsmen took more money than other places, and naturally spent time and effort, day and night, with high quality, so they sold very well, and then after the two sons took over, they began to make shoddy products at will in order to save costs, and also deducted their wages, and gradually, many people left.

Now the Cao family is doing the biggest farming industry, Jian Hai taught them to draw scoops according to the gourd, according to what Fan Li did, in that small basin, breeding, manure used to fertilize those crops, is the best, but the locals, for the Cao family, there are many dissatisfaction, deliberately lower the price of food.

Fan Li taught Cao Ting very simply, that is, to separate from his brother, as long as the pottery industry under the name of the Cao family, nothing else, for the pottery industry that has long since declined, Cao Rang is naturally not eye-catching, Cao Ting was scared at first, after all, the current pottery has declined.

The pottery of the Cao family, although it has declined, but over the years, the things produced have a reputation, and it is not difficult to make a comeback, you only need to take out the blood book, hire the craftsmen and painters, and do it seriously, and Fan Li also decided to take out some money to help Cao Ting.

After everything was ready, Cao Rang and Cao Ting separated from each other, Cao Rang did not have any hesitation, and then split up, Cao Ting seemed to finally understand that Fan Li never wanted a stitch from the Cao family, and he changed from jealousy and hatred to admiration for Fan Li.

Fan Li has been to the place where the weapons are manufactured for a long time, and many places near Dingtao have Fan Li's shops, under the supervision of the people sent by Luo, they are constantly building weapons, and the weapons, as Cao Yin Gong wishes, were sold to Yan Guo.

Back at home, Fan Li decided to start doing one thing, polishing the beauty, because now the surface of the beauty is always pitted, not like a sword at all, extremely ugly.

Fan Li wanted to do this thing for a long time, but under Wu Zheng's persuasion, he never took action, because in the beauty, the breath of Xi Shi has been constantly overflowing, and Wu Zheng wasted a lot of effort to completely suppress the breath of Xi Shi in the sword.

One night, Wu Zheng came to the backyard, lit a fire, with the help of Wu Zheng, took the hammer, and began to knock it little by little, Fan Li's movements were very gentle, not at all like those blacksmiths, very hard, but every knock was in place.

In a short period of time, Fan Li has learned the technique of polishing, and since then, every night, he will spend an hour or two polishing the surface of the beauty.

Gradually, the uneven places on the surface of the beauty disappeared, and the whole sword, although black, had a luster color, just like I had seen in the ghost team before.

Zhuang Xian and Yin Youchen, the two are 15 years old, they live a very comfortable life, the two are in Fan Li's home, they live extremely freely, many times, Yin Youchen is not willing to go back, and what Fan Li taught them is never old-fashioned, very interesting, the relationship between the two.

"Ah Xian, you always pretend to be crazy and stupid, and others always make fun of you, aren't you sad?"

One day, in between classes, Yin Youchen finally couldn't help but ask, Yin Youchen at this time was very similar to Yin Qiujian, with a sense of arrogance on his face, and sometimes he looked extremely loose and comfortable, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

"It's okay, Youchen, I don't care, I'm very comfortable with Mr. Tao, he treats me very well, as long as I live freely, it's okay."

"Yes, Ah Xian, next year, I will go to my eldest brother's military tent, maybe in the future, I won't be able to play with you like this."

The friendship between the two is from childhood to adulthood, Zhuang Xian's only friend, Yin Youchen, when the two families were in the Zhuang house at a young age, when they were conspiring together, they were playing outside, and they heard a cry in a courtyard, so he boldly went in.

As a result, what I saw was Zhuang Neng's wife, who was beating the young Zhuang Xian, because of bedwetting, and Yin Youchen, who was only 6 years old at the time, stopped her.

Then Zhuang Neng and Yin Yuanhui rushed over, but Yin Youchen said righteously, it is a common thing for children to wet the bed, this is the case in the world, why is it just a matter of bedwetting, and it will be punished.

Faced with the questioning of a six-year-old child, Zhuang Neng's wife finally stopped.

Zhuang Xian grew up in such an environment, the only best friend, only Yin Youchen can confide in his thoughts, and before, Zhuang Xian had told Yin Youchen about his mother's death, but Yin Youchen immediately went to find his father, hoping that the Yin family could stand up for Zhuang Xian.

However, his father Yin Yuanhui refused, and told Yin Youchen about the stakes, but one day, Yin Youchen went to the banker's house with a knife, intending to seek justice for Zhuang Xian, however, he stopped Zhuang Xian.

At that time, Zhuang Xian said that sooner or later he would leave this home and be with his mother.

Zhuang Neng was busy with his own business, and came to Fan Li's house, and the number of visits to Zhuang Xian became less and less, Fan Li once asked Zhuang Xian, but Zhuang Xian has always been extremely indifferent to this matter.

At this time, Fan Li is already 40 years old, and he has also entered the year of not being confused, the Cao family's business has plummeted, and the rice shops operated by the company have closed down in large numbers, and the breeding industry has also been plagued by epidemics, and it is about to end.

On the contrary, Cao Ting, who listened to Fan Li's words, revived the Cao family's pottery business, which was already dying.

At this time, the state of Chu and the state of Lu had already ceased fighting, and at the cost of part of the land of the state of Lu, the dispute had finally stopped, while the state of Yan and the state of Jin had already begun to fight.

One day, Cao Rang took Jian Hai to Fan Li's house, Fan Li didn't say anything, and ordered his subordinates to make a table of good dishes.

"Oh, brother, your business is really getting better and better, brother, I'm really out of reach."

Cao Rang said, and Jian Hai on the side also echoed, praising Fan Li vigorously, but Fan Li said a word.

"Everything in Zhuzi now is all because of Dingtao, so it will go so smoothly, come, cheers."

At the banquet all night, Fan Li never had any intention of letting go, Cao Rang and Jian Hai wanted to cooperate with Fan Li and do things together.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Rang actually cried, talking about what he had done wrong before, and that he should not have such trouble with Fan Li, and also said that before, the plague that spread in the basin was Cao Rang looking for someone to do it, and he cried as he spoke.

But Fan Li still didn't have any words, and then after Cao Rang got drunk, Jian Hai began to say good things.

"Oh, Tao Zhugong, you see, Cao Rang has repented and reformed, please raise your noble hand and give him a chance."

Fan Li smiled, glanced at Jian Hai, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Jian Hai, you see that the wind makes the rudder, quite strong, after you go back, tell Cao Rang, if you want me to help, you will not allow you to appear in this Dingtao again in the future."

One sentence made Jian Hai's face suddenly become angry.

The next day, Jian Hai kicked Cao Rang out of Cao's house and left for him, and Fan Li also decided to help Cao Rang.

The risk of the aquaculture industry is too great to continue, and the small basin where the grain was provided in the past has been polluted by the aquaculture industry, and there have been several large-scale plagues, and it can no longer continue, and even the production and quality of grain have problems.

Then Fan Li decided to invest and let his henchmen personally select some tailors who made clothes from some distant countries, and hired them back at a high price after careful selection.

Under the hands of the Cao family, there is also the business of the cloth village, which is not good, not bad, and has some income, but there are only 3 of them, and Fan Li's approach is to let these carefully selected tailors make some beautiful women's clothes, Cao Rang is very afraid, because the business of not clothes is not easy to do, and it is even more difficult to do it after years of war.

But in Fan Li's heart, he already had a way to make these clothes sell and earn a high price.
