Yu Ren saw that the person surnamed Jiao took the silver, so he said, "I think I've heard about Jiao's affairs." I don't have to hide this from you. Since my uncle fell ill, several of our old customers have been lost. Now there are a lot of cotton cloths in the weaving room, and I want to ask Jiao to help me find a way. ”

Steward Jiao gently put down the chicken leg in his hand, "Why should Yu Xiaoxianggong hide it." I've heard about this for a long time. All the big merchants of your Shen family were robbed by the Xu family. Now I'm afraid that the cotton cloth in the warehouse has been piled up into a mountain! It's just a little bit more. ”

Yu Ren saw that this Jiao steward had already inquired about the inside story of their Yu family very clearly, so he knew that this time the business would not be so easy to talk about.

"Mr. Jiao is right. The situation in our family is indeed a bit difficult at present, which is the main reason why I came to Mr. Jiao today. ”

Steward Jiao squinted his eyes and looked proud, hearing Yu Ren's words.

"I heard that your proprietors have always been pretentious, and they think that we maritime merchants are not clean, and they disdain to do business with us. Why did Yu Xiaoxianggong ask for the door of my Zhang family today? ”

Yu Ren's face was a little unpleasant, he didn't expect this surnamed Jiao to be so unkind to sell his face, obviously receiving the benefit of twenty taels of silver from himself, but he still didn't give face. Yu Ren looked at Ou Yangming on the side and did not speak.

Ou Yangming is a smart person, and when he saw that everyone's atmosphere was a little stiff, he hurriedly came out to play a round. Raised the wine glass and said to Jiao Guan, "We came out today to drink, and it's not too late to talk about those business matters when we have time to go back." Come, I'll give Brother Jiao a glass first. ”

The Jiao steward didn't look at Ou Yangming, just stared at Yu Rendao, "Boy, I'll put my words here!" For the matter of your cotton cloth, give me five hundred taels, and I will cover all the goods in the warehouse for you. Our Zhang family has five big boats going to sea every year, and I can at least move one boat for you to load your Shen family's cotton cloth. ”

When Yu Ren heard that Ou Yangming opened his mouth and asked for five hundred taels of silver, he couldn't help but be angry. I didn't expect an ordinary merchant steward to be so greedy. So, he couldn't hold back any longer, stood up all of a sudden, and left a sentence: "It's really better than Hades, the little ghost is difficult!" ”

After speaking, Yu Ren flicked his sleeves and left!

Out of Taibai Ju, Cai's tent room trotted to catch up.

"Boss, you're just too impulsive. This offended Jiao Guanshi, and the cotton business was only afraid that it would be yellow. ”

Yu Ren didn't care. "No big deal. I don't believe it, without his surname Jiao, my cotton cloth business would not be possible. He's not the owner, he doesn't do this business with us, I'll go directly to their owner. Big deal, let's keep the price down a bit. The texture of our Shen family's cotton cloth is finer than that made by those small households, and the price is cheaper, are you afraid that he will not accept it! ”

Cai Tent sighed. "The owner doesn't know. The reason why this surnamed Jiao is so arrogant is because he is still the nephew of the official Jiao of the government. Although he is only a manager in the Zhang family's shop, he is actually half of the owner. Their owner, Zhang Shunyi, knew that he was often greedy for some money in business, and often ate the seller's benefits when receiving the goods, but he pretended not to know, because of his relationship.

Although the Zhang family's business in Songjiang Mansion was not small, they still relied on him to deal with the government and the people of the Shipping Department. Therefore, even Zhang Shunyi did not dare to offend him more.

I heard that this Jiao Rong is very stingy. The owner, you hurt his face today, and this business with the Zhang family will definitely not be done. ”

Speaking of this, Cai couldn't help but sigh.

Only then did Yu Ren know that his impulse had brought such serious consequences. However, it is useless to regret at this point. Besides, let him grovel to please this surnamed Jiao, Yu Ren really can't stand it. "Isn't it just a business! I still don't believe it, without him Jiao Rong, I won't be able to get business! ”

Cai said, "The business of Lu Shang has been almost monopolized by the Xu family. Business at sea has also been unstable. Now it has lost the Zhang family, which mainly sells cloth to the South Seas. I'm afraid that even if the owner finds a merchant for the time being and solves the inventory in front of him, the sales of cotton cloth in the weaving room will still be a big problem. ”

Yu Ren suddenly asked Cai Tent, "Can't we sell cloth ourselves?" Why do you have to leave your fate in someone else's hands? ”

"This question has also been considered by the Shen Dongjia in the past. However, because there was no suitable person who could help him on a long journey to sell cloth, and if he went himself, and there was no one to take care of the family's business, he had to sell the woven cotton cloth directly to those cloths for sale. Although the profit is smaller, there is no risk. ”

Yu Ren bowed his head and was silent, and a new plan began to exist in his heart.

The next day, in the teahouse of Songjiang Mansion, there were rumors. said that Shen Minghang's nephew was overwhelmed by the pressure, and he sailed on the sea alone, leaving behind a huge family business and no one to take care of it.

When Shen Minghang took over from his father, their Shen family was still a small household in Songjiang, at most it could only be regarded as a solid family, but in his hands, in less than ten years, he had become one of the two major weaving house owners in Songjiang Mansion, with thousands of looms.

Therefore, most of the people in Songjiang Mansion look at the Shen family with envy and jealousy. Now that they finally saw that the Shen family was unlucky, these people also greatly satisfied their own psychology. As a result, all the bad news of the Shen family spread extremely fast in Songjiang Mansion.

However, this rumor about Yu Ren's departure only spread for three days, and it could not be spread on the fourth day. Because Yu Ren came back by boat again.

When he went, Yu Ren was alone, on a small fishing boat. When I came back, I was still alone, still on the same small fishing boat.

So some good people inquired privately with the boatman, and asked him where he had taken Yu Ren in the past few days, who he had met, and what he had done.

But they found that the boatman had been dumb since he had gone out to sea, and that he was silent when anyone asked him about this voyage.

Such strange things made people even more puzzled, so there were more speculations about Yu Ren's trip to sea. It is said that he brought a boatload of belongings and planned to go to sea and flee to his hometown of Fujian, but he did not want to encounter pirates at sea and was robbed, so he had to come back.

It is also said that he originally planned to take the Shen family's belongings privately and flee back to his hometown in Fujian, but his conscience suddenly found out on the way, and then turned back.

Regardless of the version, however, the consensus is unanimous. This Yu Xiaoxianggong is definitely not as good as the legend, and he is not as kind as the legend, this time the Shen family is afraid that it will fall.

However, this conclusion was only circulated in the teahouse of Songjiang Prefecture for five days, and no one said anything more on the sixth day. Because something happened that no one expected!

On this day, shortly after the gates were opened, five men dressed in strange costumes entered the city. Originally, in Daming, due to the spread of Mingyang Psychology in recent decades, coupled with the serious lack of officials, no one to discipline and guide, today's world style has been greatly changed, and strange costumes are also common. But these people are dressed a little strangely, and these five people are all old acquaintances of Songjiang people.

They are the five shopkeepers who ran away with the guys in the shop a few days ago.

At this time, these five people were all shirtless, with two wattles on their backs, and walked towards the Shen Mansion.

This scene is too familiar to Chinese! Bear the guilt!

This time, there are more people watching the excitement. For a while, people speculated again. Originally, everyone was not optimistic about this Yu Xiaoxianggong, thinking that he was a greedy and incapable guy. Shen Minghang fell like this, and the shrewd stewards of the Shen family didn't hollow out the Shen family!

The five treasurers in front of them are the best examples, and they are considered bold. The timid dare not come openly, but it is inevitable to be greedy and make false accounts in secret. In less than half a year, the Shen family will inevitably break down, which is the open view of Songjiang people, and it is also the representative of the mainstream view.

However, no one expected that these five bold role models would actually throw themselves into the net this time and take the initiative to send them to the door. also engaged in such a guilty plea.

These guys don't look like people with such awareness! If they had this kind of awareness, they wouldn't have done that kind of thing in the first place.

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that they were forced.
