"Yes, yes......"

The old lady nodded her head twice.

"The time and place are all occupied by the Shen family, how can the third master think that we can't get the right to supply grain?"

The problem is really here!

Zhao Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood slowly calmed down.

"The third master said that the 500,000 soldiers of the Seventh Prince eat horses and feed, even if one person eats one and a half meters a day, he will get 750,000 liters a day, and a month is 22.5 million liters, or 225,000 stones...... With such a high price, even if this battle is only fought for half a year, the treasury will be emptied...... If you were a long live, would you say yes? ”

The teacup in the old lady's hand almost fell on the kang, so she got up and took a sip.

Zhao Qinghuafeng followed.

"The third master also said, but the border pass Tartar invasion, and it is not a real troubled time, you can transfer grain from Nanzhou, Changsu, and Anqing at will, but there is a Wuyun Gorge natural danger barrier, which is time-consuming and laborious, but it is not impossible, once the imperial court feels that the grain price in Tanxi Province is too high to bear, it will take advantage of the competition between the Shen and Yang families to desperately reduce the price, or directly transfer it from Nanzhou Changsu and other places...... "paused, "When the time comes, the Shen family's grain hoarding will only wait for the mold to rot!" ”

The old lady remembered that on the day of Shen Huaiyu's 100-day festival, Su Dao specially asked the students to tell him that the grain prices in Nanzhou, Changsu, and Anqing around Tanxi Province had not risen, and only the grain prices in Zhongzhou Mansion had risen like this because of the competition between Shen and Yang.

At that time, he was puzzled, in order to compete for the right to supply food to the army of the Western Expedition. The Shen family and the Yang family are all vying to collect grain, and of course the price of grain in Tanxi will rise, there is no doubt about it. Why did Su Dao send a student to tell her?

It turned out that he was hinting at the crisis of his Shen family!

Who is Su Dao?

He is a contemporary Confucian, he has been the champion and the first assistant, and there was a cabinet scholar among the students, how can his eyesight be wrong.

It's a pity that Li Lingzhi was dizzy, and he was carried away by the huge benefits he imagined out of thin air!

I didn't even understand such a simple hint!

Thinking about it, the old lady fell in a cold sweat.

Looking at Zhao Qing's gaze, he also softened. Much more desolation.

Zhao Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised the milk cup and handed it to his mouth.

Only to find that the milk in the cup had already been cold, and there was a faint fishy smell. Zhao Qing's hand paused, and he looked at the small half cup of milk in his hand in a daze.

With such a big smell, how did she drink it just now?

"Fighting for hegemony is against the ancestral teachings, and I persuaded the third master at that time. He also said that the real big business is the goods that pass through the world. is not a monopoly, he was also forced by the Yang family to have no way out, and he was forced to make this decision as a last resort, and he made a dangerous move, so that I could rest assured that the Shen family and the Yang family must shake hands and make peace in the end, but I didn't expect ......" The old lady's tears fell, "The third master left so suddenly without explaining anything." In the end, he was taken out of shape by the old man! ”

At this point, the old lady had no doubts about Zhao Qing's words.

"Is there really such an ancestral teaching?" Zhao Qing pretended to be surprised. "Didn't the ancestor not allow women to participate in business, how did you know?" This question has been in Zhao Qing's heart for a long time, and if she understands it, she may also be able to take the opportunity to participate in the Shen family's business.

In her previous life, she had gone through a lifetime of business, and in this life she came to the era when this woman was not talented and virtuous, although she always warned herself to forget those business experiences, to abide by her duty, and not to take a step beyond Lei Chi, but in her heart, she was still full of desire to be able to show up and go out to do business.

"The old ancestor is not allowed, it is because the third master was too young back then, and the eldest master was eyeing the position of the head of the family, so the old lady had to hand over these important documents to me for safekeeping before he died, so that the third master would ...... him when he grew up," the old lady explained, "I only knew that the Shen family had such an ancestral teaching." ”

I see.

It's just that Zhao Qing frowned again: "Why don't you even know the old man?" ”

It's not a martial arts cheat.

The so-called admonition, admonition, is to warn future generations, so hide and warn a bird?

The old lady looked strange.

Zhao Qing asked again, "Could it be that the old ancestor has ever been in person?" ”

That's why I'm ashamed to open my mouth.

But for fear that future generations will redirect his mistakes, it is stipulated that only the head of the family who has the sole right to decide on such a major event as the hegemony can watch it? Angry at the stingy behavior of the ancestors of the Shen family, Zhao Qing cursed maliciously in his heart.

Hearing the strings, she is even smarter than Yu'er!

The old lady looked at Zhao Qing fixedly, and didn't speak for a long time.

What's wrong?

Zhao Qing subconsciously touched his cheek, wondering if a flower had grown on it.

"It's Grandpa Tian's own experience!" The old lady said.

No, I was really caught in my own words.

Zhao Qing was surprised.

"These are all passed down by word of mouth from the heads of the family through generations, and the records of the ancestors' testaments are very simple, and I don't know." Seeing that her eyes were full of curiosity, the old lady shook her head.

"What does the testament say?"

This is beyond the bounds!

If you really give some color, you have to open a dye room.

The old lady was unhappy for a while, and raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qing.

The long eyelashes on the clear and beautiful eyes of the mountain stream flashed and flashed, the small mouth like a red cherry slept gently, and a delicate and lovely look was looking at herself pleadingly, and the old lady's heart suddenly softened.

"That's it, after the horizontal and vertical are handed over to the third master, I will tell you in advance." She changed the topic, "The originator of the Shen family was just a little-known small shopkeeper of the grain store, but later the grandfather followed the queen of Taizu and was made an exception to be named a third-grade Taoist, and the Shen family became one of the four great families of Great Chu, and passed on to the generation of Tianzu, you should be called Grandpa Taizu in terms of generation, he was a peerless genius like the third master, not only did the business overseas, but the Shen family also became the real bull-eared person in the business community of Great Chu at that time......"

I also heard Chi Feng say that the ancestors of the Shen family were very powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!

Zhao Qing was shocked.

"Why is the Shen family so few now?" Although it has a good reputation in Gulan Town, the current Shen family can't even compare to the Yang family in Zhongzhou, let alone one of the four great families of Great Chu, is this all because of the struggle for hegemony?

"This starts with your grandfather marrying a lady in his later years......," the old lady sighed, "your grandfather was in the business world back then, high-spirited, nearly fifty years old and married a lady like a flower and jade, and this lady is not only smart and clever and very talented in business, especially a good abacus, even the heart of the ancestor, in the spring of the sixteenth year of Jianshun, this lady Ru returned to visit relatives in her mother's house and the local rich businessman Ji Changchun had a quarrel, the two directly set off a tea dispute, the news came back, Your grandfather listened to Mrs. Ru's words, and because he had been trading with overseas for many years, he had already had the heart to sell tea, so he didn't go to his heart, but only sent a letter to let the steward stationed overseas contact the tea sales, paving the way for this Mrs. Ru's recklessness, and these are all things that your grandfather has begun to prepare a few years ago, but they have been started in advance......"
