The steward of the caravan was changed from the second son Chu Xiu to the fourth son Chu Shu, which made the people of the Chu family a little surprised, but then everyone was relieved.

Who in the entire Chu family doesn't know that the master's favorite is the fourth son, but the people inside the caravan feel a little awkward.

Although Chu Xiu was in charge of the caravan for a short time, in fact, Chu Xiu was quite prestigious in the caravan.

The stewards who wanted to oppose Chu Xiu in the past have all been killed by Chu Xiu, and the rest of the caravan people, their ideas are very simple, as long as the treatment is enough, they will be satisfied.

Chu Xiu gave them more rewards than before, and after Chu Xiu didn't act with the caravan, he promoted a few more stewards, these people are also very free, as long as they don't make small moves in secret, Chu Xiu will not embarrass them.

Now all of a sudden, it's a different person, and it's a little uncomfortable for them.

At this time, in the courtyard where the caravan was resting, a subordinate with a slightly pointed beak and monkey cheeks approached a man dressed in a short beat and asked, "Brother Liu, I heard that our caravan will be under the control of the fourth prince in the future, what do you think?"

This Brother Liu's full name is Liu Youcheng, when Chu Xiu took over the caravan, this guy was the first to jump out against Chu Xiu, but when he heard that the caravan's treatment had increased, he was also the first to surrender.

Although he is a bit two-faced, he is still quite clever in doing things, so he was promoted by Chu Xiu to be the steward of the caravan.

He is also an old man of the caravan, and he has a good relationship with everyone, but he will not suddenly become a villain.

Hearing the next person ask, Liu Youcheng shook his head and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, aren't you clear about the affairs of several sons?"

The second son is good to us, but can we still work against the fourth son? work honestly, don't think so much useless. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Chu Shen walked in with a few entourage.

Behind him was a man in his forties, dressed in a blue samurai suit, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a cold face.

He is Lin Qian, the disciple of the Chu family, and his status in the Chu family is very high, and it can even be said that he is higher than some elders of the Chu family.

Although some of the elders of the Chu family were also in the Blood Condensation Realm, they were already too old to move, and it was only because they were Chu Zongguang's elders that they could sit in the position of elders.

And this Lin Qian is a martial artist in the blood condensation realm in the prime of life, it is said that he was still from a small sect, he walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, and was later recruited by the Chu family and became a doorman, and he has been in the Chu family for several years, and even Chu Shu has to call him Uncle Lin respectfully.

Seeing Chu Shen walk in, Liu Youcheng and the other two caravan stewards who had been promoted by Chu Xiu immediately came over and saluted, "I've seen the fourth son." ”

Chu Sheng nodded and said lightly: "All the people in the caravan are here?"

Liu Youcheng nodded and said, "It's all here." ”

"Okay, tell everyone to pack up and get ready to leave tomorrow. ”

Liu Youcheng was stunned for a moment: "Second son, we only came back yesterday, according to the rules, we should rest for three days before leaving." ”

Chu Shuangyi frowned and said: "Every time the caravan comes back, you have to rest, and you can go to Yan Country again every month during the few days of rest!

Liu Youcheng smiled bitterly: "But the fourth son, people are not beaten by iron, the trade routes in the mountain are difficult to walk, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants, if you don't take a break, everyone really can't hold on, because of this, the second son let us rest for three days." ”

Hearing Liu Youcheng mention Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu's face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Don't forget, I am the steward of the caravan now!"

Chu Shu suddenly thought of something, he frowned and said, "The three of you are in charge?"

Liu Youcheng and the other three nodded, feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Chu Hurt immediately said: "From now on, you are not." ”

Saying that, Chu Shu directly let several of his henchmen take over the position of steward, regardless of whether they had experience in managing caravans.

Liu Youcheng and the others watched all this dumbfounded, although they were dissatisfied, they could only hold back.

At this time, Chu Xiu returned to his courtyard, and Gao Bei followed him cautiously.

Although Chu Xiu didn't tell him, the Chu family is so big, and those rumors have already spread.

The second son has lost the caravan now, and he probably wants to kill people in anger, right?

At this time, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "Is there any one of his people in the inn restaurant under Chu Injury?"

Gao Bei was stunned for a moment before he said: "It doesn't seem to be, the inn and restaurant are all long-term business, and whoever takes care of it is the same, so the shopkeeper of the inn and the restaurant are all the old men of my Chu family, and the fourth son is only responsible for collecting money, and he does not interfere in the business." ”

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's good, go and prepare, move out of the family, I heard that the backyard of my Chu family restaurant is big enough, so let's move there." ”

Gao Bei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care, thinking that Chu Xiu disliked his mansion in the Chu family was too simple.

In fact, this kind of thing is also very common, except for the youngest Chu Sheng, Chu Kai and Chu Sheng both have their own mansions outside, after all, they are also adults, and some things are inconvenient to do in the mansion, so they are casual outside.

Waiting for the next morning, the gate of the Chu family was very lively, one was that Chu Xiu was preparing to set off with the caravan, and the other was that Chu Xiu asked him to move all his things out of the Chu family, and the two sides happened to meet.

Chu Shu was wearing a strong suit, wearing a long sword at his waist, and riding a jujube red northland chasing horse, not like the steward of a caravan, but like a son who was ready to roam the rivers and lakes at any time.

He looked at Chu Xiu at this time, and there was also a hint of pride in his eyes, but in fact, there was also jealousy of Chu Xiu behind this smugness.

He was the youngest in the Chu family before, although he was favored, but because his mother had no background, he could only keep a low profile.

But at least compared with him, there is still a Chu Xiu who can be used as a backing, which makes Chu Xiu also have some psychological comfort.

But who would have thought that since Chu Xiu came back from the Nanshan mining area, he seemed to be a different person, and quickly established prestige in the family, and he Chu was still a transparent person, and it seemed that there was only one impression on everyone, that is, he was well-behaved and liked by the head of the family.

Now he has the success of Chu Xiu's hard work during this time with a fluttering sentence, he is young after all, he can still endure it yesterday with Chu Zongguang, but now that Chu Zongguang is not there, he can't help but show off in front of Chu Xiu.

"Second brother, you have also walked this trade route once, and you can be regarded as having experience, but what experience do you have to pass on to my younger brother?"

Chu Shu drove the horse to Chu Xiu's side, condescendingly, and asked with a playful expression.

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Experience, I told you yesterday, the trade route is rugged, be careful, the bandits don't care whether you are from the Chu family or not, out of Tongzhou Mansion, the face of the Chu family is not good, go to the mountain, that is to see blood!"

When the last sentence was spoken, a red tyrannical killing machine flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, which immediately made Chu Shen startled, but in an instant, the erasing machine had disappeared, and no one else noticed it, and even Chu Shen thought that he had seen it wrong.

However, he didn't dare to provoke Chu Xiu anymore, so he just snorted coldly and urged the caravan to set off.

There are a total of four inns, a restaurant, and an arms shop among them that Chu Shu transferred to Chu Xiu.

However, Chu Xiu was not interested in the armory shop, and the Chu family sold some ordinary blades, at most, it was a turn, except for the silver earned every month, it was stable, and it didn't have much effect.

After Chu Xiu moved his residence to the backyard of the restaurant, Gao Bei also brought five slightly apprehensive shopkeepers to see Chu Xiu.

They are all just ordinary people, and they don't even know a little about the internal affairs of the Chu family, and now they have suddenly changed their managers, which makes them all a little uneasy.

Looking at the five shopkeepers, Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, professional things are handled by professional people, how to take care of the inn restaurant in the future, how to take care of it, everything doesn't have to change." ”

However, Chu Xiu's voice suddenly changed: "But I still have one more thing to do for you." ”

The shopkeepers hurriedly said, "The second son commanded." ”

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "My Tongzhou Mansion is the closest state capital to Yan Kingdom, so most of the caravans from other state capitals in Wei County to and from Yan Country will stop in my Tongzhou Mansion.

These people can also be regarded as the competitors of my Chu family's caravan, so you let the guys be smart, and record the news in detail when you hear the news in their conversation, these are all useful information, and you have to hand it over to me every day. ”

Chu Xiu had promised to give Han Bao the information of these caravans.

In the past month, Chu Xiu has indeed given Han Bao a lot of information, but this information is all Chu Xiu asked his subordinates to go to the door of the inn to squat, which is a bit laborious, and now it will undoubtedly be much easier to let the people in the inn and the restaurant take the initiative to hand over these things to themselves.

And Chu Xiu doesn't have to worry about what they leak, the people in these restaurants and inns actually have nothing to do with the Chu family, and they don't even have to contact the Chu family in normal times, and they pay the money on time every month, which is enough.

These were just small things, so several shopkeepers agreed to it, and after ordering them a few polite words, Chu Xiu sent them away.

Turning around, Chu Xiu said to Gao Bei: "Prepare, follow me to the Dead Mountain tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as he heard Chu Xiu say that he was going to the Dead Mountain, Gao Bei suddenly shuddered, he was really a little afraid of those bandits.

But he was afraid, but he still nodded and did not refuse.

Just like Chu Xiu told him in Yuanbao Town before, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. If you want to be rich, you can only fight.

During this period of time, he has become Chu Xiu's confidant, and he has not done as much as before, but he has received a lot of silver, and even he bought a small courtyard in Tongzhou Mansion and took his younger brother over.

And in the Chu family, because Chu Xiu's status has risen, his status has also risen, and those subordinates who looked down on him in the past are now also calling him a 'brother'.

Just like Chu Xiu said, when people are not satisfied, although Gao Bei is an honest man, he has already enjoyed all this, and of course he doesn't want to go back.

Regarding Chu Xiu's order, even if he resisted in his heart, he didn't dare to refuse, or he didn't want to refuse.
