After all, the second lady of the Chu family is just a woman, although she is vicious, it is okay to let her do things inside the Chu family, and it is not enough to see it outside, and she still needs an old fox like Ding Kaishan who has been in Tongzhou Mansion for decades.

Ding Kaishan pondered for a long time and said: "According to what you said, this Chu Xiu's current general trend has been achieved, and it only took a few things to completely establish his position in the Chu family, the eldest son is not the eldest son, and he is not too much loved by Chu Zongguang, in the face of this Chu Xiu, he can't take advantage of it within the Chu family, so I have only one idea, I can only attack this Chu Xiu through the outside." ”

The second lady sighed and said, "But I'm just a woman, and I still have a little weight in the Chu family's inner house, and I can't interfere with the outside affairs at all, so I came to beg my father." ”

Ding Kaishan stroked his long beard and said: "There is always a way, I just remembered that the caravan under Chu Xiu has recently received a big business."

I have an apprentice who is now giving people darts in the dart bureau, and last time he happened to run into the Chu family's caravan when he was going to Yan Kingdom, I heard that the Chu family's caravan had reached an agreement with a big local merchant in Yan Kingdom, and purchased the refined ore produced by the Chu family in the Nanshan mining area at a high price, and even a large amount of money had been paid. ”

The second lady was a little jealous and said: "This Chu Xiu has been like a change of luck since he came back from the Nanshan mining area, and he has encountered all good things." ”

Ding Kaishan said with a straight expression: "This is not luck, but this Chu Xiu's ability, although he is competing with Sheng'er for the position of the heir of the head of the family, but you have to learn from him at this point."

This business has nothing to do with Na Chu Xiu, he has long been left alone with the caravan, and it is completely managed by the stewards of several caravans, and this business is also negotiated by the stewards of the caravan themselves.

Your Chu family used to manage the caravan only to give some monthly money to those caravan people, but now this Chu Xiu is willing to give half of the income to everyone in the caravan, don't underestimate this half of the caravan, it is precisely because of this half of the money that these caravan people will be so active and desperate.

The caravan earned more, and the caravan men received the same amount of silver.

Therefore, the stewards of those caravans do not need to be supervised by Chu Xiu, and they are all studying how to increase their income every day, and the subordinates of those caravans do not need to be urged, they are all very profitable, because if they go one more time, they can get one more share of the money.

People inside your Chu family may not have noticed these things, but you don't know that in Tongzhou Mansion, they all say that you are the younger generation of the Chu family, and the only one who can handle it is this Chu Xiu. ”

The second lady's face turned red and white, and she still couldn't accept that Chu Xiu was so good.

Ding Kaishan said with a smile: "But no matter how good this Chu Xiu is, it is useless, Sheng'er is my grandson, of course I want to stand on his side, then the caravan under Chu Xiu has negotiated such a big business, what if something goes wrong? If the ore cannot be delivered on time, not only will the deposit be compensated to the other side, but even the reputation of the caravan under his command will be ruined."

There were countless caravans between Wei and Yan, and no one wanted to trade with a disgraced caravan.

What Chu Xiu holds in his hand, the most profitable income is the caravan, without the caravan, what will his position within Chu Xiu become, you should know very well. ”

The second lady frowned and said: "It's still not good, a batch of ore will be transported from the Nanshan mining area every month, and now although Chu Xiu is no longer in charge, he is also a member of the Chu family, if I don't give it and make trouble to the master, I will ignore it and delay the business of the Chu family." ”

Ding Kaishan shook his head with some hatred and said, "Daughter, what did I tell you at the beginning? Don't keep staring at the Chu family's one-third of an acre of land, be broad-minded."

Who told you to hold those ores down, and you sold those ores to others before they were delivered to Chu Xiu, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

The second lady hesitated a little and said: "The Nanshan mining area produces refined ore, and if the ore is sold at the highest price every month, it is enough to tens of thousands of taels.

In the past, my Chu family kept some of these ores for backup, and the rest was made into weapons and sold, but now who can eat so many ores in one go?

If the price is low, Chu Xiu finds out and stabs the master, damaging the interests of the Chu family, this is the bottom line of the master. ”

Chu Zongguang has not been in charge of the Chu family's affairs all these years, which is true, but Chu Zongguang also has a bottom line, that is, no one, including his own son, can harm the interests of the Chu family, otherwise he will definitely be severely punished.

It is precisely because of this bottom line that although the Chu family has not developed over the years, it has not declined much.

Ding Kaishan shook his head and said: "Who asked you to sell it cheaply? Just sell it at the market price, then Chu Xiu took this batch of ore and sold it to the big businessmen of Yan Kingdom, he may earn double the profit, but how much money can he give to the Chu family? Dingtian is less than one-third."

After you sold this batch of ore, you gave all the profits to the Chu family, and you didn't keep any of it, so that the Chu family didn't lose anything, and you didn't lose either, so the only one who lost was Chu Xiu. ”

"And who are you going to sell this ore to?"

Ding Kaishan said with a smile: "With your father and I here, with my connections, are you still afraid that this ore will not be sold? The close confidant of the third son of the Li family is my disciple, and I can help you connect and let the Li family eat this batch of ore."

The Li family's means of forging blades are much stronger than your Chu family, but they don't have any minerals, if the Chu family is willing to sell, even if it is more than the market price, I believe the Li family will agree. ”

When the second lady heard this, she shook her head directly and said: "The Li family is not good, when my Chu family first established itself in Tongzhou Mansion, it was this Li family that was the most difficult for us, if the ore was sold to the Li family, the master would not agree first, and the rest of the Chu family would not agree." ”

Ding Kaishan waved his hand casually and said: "You think too much, you have been such an indecisive character since you were a child, how can you be afraid of wolves and tigers?"

The Li family did feel sorry for you when your Chu family first gained a foothold in Tongzhou Mansion, but that was all before, so many years have passed, and the old man of the Li family has died, and your Chu family didn't take revenge.

So you don't have to be afraid of this matter at all, as long as Chu Zongguang doesn't speak, no one in the Chu family will be held accountable for this matter, anyway, the Chu family didn't suffer in the end, right?"

Seeing that the second lady was still a little hesitant, Ding Kaishan's eyes showed a gleam and said: "Otherwise, let's do it first, you sell the ore to me, and then I will sell it to Li Sangongzi, so the matter has nothing to do with you." ”

The second lady thought about it, Ding Kaishan's words seemed to have some truth, anyway, her father couldn't pit herself, so the second lady said directly: "Since this is the case, then trouble you." ”

Ding Kaishan nodded and said, "By the way, how much refined ore does your Chujia Nanshan mining area produce in a month?"

The second lady thought for a while and said, "I'm a woman, and I don't know much about these, but it should be about 50,000 catties normally." ”

Ding Kaishan was slightly surprised: "According to the highest market price, 50,000 catties of refined ore is enough to sell for 50,000 taels of silver, so calculated, the most profitable business of your Chu family should be this mine." ”

The second lady shook her head with a wry smile and said, "How can it be so easy, it is easy to die in the mine, every year our Chu family has to buy a large number of prisoners and prisoners from the government."

There are also these ores must be refined once before they can be used, 50,000 catties of refined ore need at least 500,000 catties of refining to be refined, the cost is too great, so the profit is actually not too much. ”

Ding Kaishan showed a thoughtful expression, and said to the second lady: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to me, just wait for you to send someone to send those refined ores to me, and then the silver I will give you will definitely be more than 50,000 taels."

Don't worry, although Chu Zongguang is not angry, I can't let you marry into the Chu family for nothing, this Chu family will be my grandson's sooner or later in the future!"

The second lady left happily, compared with the eldest lady, her only advantage was the background in the Tongzhou Mansion.

With such a powerful foreign aid as Ding Kaishan, what can the eldest lady do even if she is from a big family? The family behind her is not in this Tongzhou Mansion.

Early the next morning, a subordinate of the Chu family pulled a cart of ore over and loosened it into the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall.

Ding Kaishan looked at the ore and asked the steward, "How many catties of ore did you send?"

The steward glanced at the booklet and said, "It's 57,000 catties." ”

Ding Kaishan raised his eyebrows and said, "Go and change it, change it to 52,000 catties." ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Ding Kaishan meant, and said with a wry smile: "Pavilion Master Ding, there are five thousand catties of refined ore missing, and I can't explain it when I go back." ”

Ding Kaishan waved his hand and said: "You also know my identity, then you should also know who gave you the account of this matter, is it so difficult to change the accounts? Remember, don't talk nonsense when you go back!"

The steward nodded hurriedly, and then he remembered that this Ding Pavilion Master was the father of the second lady, and the second lady wanted to secretly get some benefits for her father, of course she wouldn't make a noise, and he naturally didn't have to explain it to anyone.

Thinking like this, the steward directly changed the 57,000 jin of refined ore to 52,000 jin, and Ding Kaishan was satisfied and let them all leave.
