Chapter 92 Family Change (1)
When Jishifang and his party, Feng Jueyu felt that he had benefited a lot. On the way back to Shangguanfu, he had been thinking about the issues of super imperial power, and he also considered the current crisis of Shangguanfu. He felt increasingly that he should master a force of his own.
This power doesn't need to be too strong, but it must have the ability to protect itself. After all, there are always some people in this world who bully the weak and fear the strong, such as Xu Zixiong. If he is still Feng Jueyu of the past and was framed and humiliated by him repeatedly, he may not be able to turn over in his life.
What is Xu Zixiong’s purpose?
At first, Feng Jueyu thought that he wanted to make Shangguan Ruomeng lose the management power of Shangguan’s government by eliminating him, and he always thought so. However, now it seems that Xu Zixiong’s purpose is not just that.
In fact, it is not difficult to analyze that the Shangguan family lost its initiative in the election of the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce and is now in a passive state of being beaten. Miaoshantang and Huichuntang, two medical shops have joined forces, Xicheng, Nancheng and some eastern parts are under the control of the two. In this way, they want to replace the Shangguan family as the leader of the Tiannan pharmaceutical industry, and they definitely have strong capital and advantages. Is it still necessary to deal with themselves?
They already have enough capital to face the face-to-face confrontation between the Shangguan family. Think about it from the perspective of others. If he is Xu Zixiong, he will only cause trouble unless he is so stupid that he has nothing to do. It seems that the purpose of Miaoshantang still needs to be proved. If it is really the emperor's intention, no matter whether the Shangguan family can get the position of president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, the ending will be destined to be much better.
After several careful considerations, Feng Jueyu is still a method, a problem of method, and an effective method, which can not only ensure that the Shangguan family's industry will not suffer serious losses, but also makes the emperor unable to find an excuse or a way to deal with the Shangguan family. The best countermeasure is the best countermeasure.
Of course, if you guessed wrongly and the emperor did not intervene in this matter, then this matter would be a sudden commercial competition. Whether you win or lose, the losses to the Shangguan family would not be too great. But you must be careful. If you guessed it, the Shangguan family is now like walking on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of being doomed.
While thinking, the gate of Shangguan's house was close to him. Two servants in green clothes and hats with their doors were standing in front of the door waiting. Shangguan Ruofan was anxiously looking around the streets on both sides, as if waiting for someone.
Looking at the red lantern hanging high and the Shangguan House, which was so quiet that even the servants could not hear the footsteps of the servants walking through the courtyard, Feng Jueyu's first thought was that something happened.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally back."
Shangguan Ruofan saw Feng Jueyu coming back with four strodes and trotted all the way to him: "Brother-in-law, hurry up, something big happened, grandpa will let you go."
"What happened?" As soon as they spoke, the two of them had already entered the mansion. Shangguan Ruofan ordered the two servants to close the door tightly and bolt the door three times...
When the carving was just at night, the intoxicating red glow was still hanging on the west mountain with a half wisp left without falling. The stars were not seen in the sky. It was still early, so it seemed that something really happened. Especially when two teams of senior servants wearing waist knives suddenly appeared on both sides, which further verified Feng Jueyu's guess.
"Brother-in-law, come with me quickly. If it's too late, the family will change." Shangguan Ruofan had a solemn face, his shallow eyebrows frowned. When he pulled Feng Jueyu to the backyard, his palms were wet and sweaty.
"How come your family has changed?" Feng Jueyu's heart sank after hearing this.
Shangguan Ruofan begged carefully and said, "Brother-in-law, it depends on you this time, otherwise, the Shangguan family will be in chaos."
"Look at me? The more you talk about me, the more confused I am. What happened?"
Shangguan Ruofan said as he walked: "The second and the third rooms are splitting up."
"Damn, such a big thing happened." Feng Jueyu suddenly blew up like thunder when he heard this, and thought to himself, Shangguan Liuyun, Shangguan Jinglei was brave enough. The old man was not dead yet, so he was trying to split the family. This was a big deal.
After a while, the two of them came outside the study. Feng Jueyu never expected that the three-bedroom estate dispute would happen in advance. He thought that the last time Shangguan Ruowen and Shangguan Ruowu had caused the second house to calm down. As a result, it was not abortion, but the tranquility before the storm came.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Feng Jueyu and Shangguan Ruofan heard the quarrels coming from inside...
"The Xu family and the Chen family have joined forces. The two monopoly plans were implemented perfectly. This month, the total sales in the west of the city reached 700,000 taels of silver, which was 20% higher than the Huichuntang in the past. It is basically the medicinal materials for sale. Because of the monopoly, there are no other pharmacies in the west of the city except Huichuntang. The aristocratic families and nobles in all prefectures and counties also use the Chen family's medicinal materials, so their share is very high. Now only half a month has passed, their total amount is 23,000 taels higher than ours. Huairen Hall is in danger."
He spoke clearly with the voice of an old man, very strange...
Then another person continued: "The total amount in the south of the city reached 730,000 taels, which is 30,000 taels more than the Chen family." A very simple sentence explained all the problems...
The Xu family is the first to be the best competitors in this Tiannan Chamber of Commerce...
Then there was a woman's voice mixed with an angry cry and said, "Dad, the third house is always the head of the wife. From the city to the east of the city, there are four shops, and the medicines produced are more than 100,000. Every month, I try my best to deliver goods to the outside world. For twenty years, the third house has never asked for anything. I just hope that Huairen Hall can develop steadily and leave food for the people. But Dad, look, what is the Shangguan family now? In the past, we went to the front.
Even the official family stopped moving forward, and the Xu family and the Chen family could not stop trampling on us. But in the first half of the month, just when we should put family industry first, we pulled down the monthly amount because of escorting supplies. Let’s look at the Xu family, how did the Xu family do it? Ten days, in just ten days, the surname of Xu is in the east of the city. What should we fight against them? Once the position of the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce is taken away by the Xu family, can Huairentang still support this family in the future?”
Feng Jueyu is more familiar with this voice. Tong Shengyue from the third room is Shangguan Ruomeng's third aunt and Shangguan Jinglei's wife.
Shangguan Jinglei was unable to have sex due to illness, and no descendants were left behind in the mid-forties. He has always been drinking and walking around the kilns. He has never cared about anything except drinking and walking in the kilns. The Shangguan family handed over all the matters of all sizes and big things to the four shops handed over by the Shangguan family to the third house were controlled by Tong Shengyue. Although he was not as good as Shangguan Ruomeng, he was considered a family-oriented one.
The Sanfang manages drug preparation and half of the warehouse. They are responsible for taking over the ordering share and sending someone to prepare it, and then handing it over to the second room to ship the orderer. They basically have nothing to do with the Dafang's external business negotiations.
After hearing this, Feng Jueyu generally understood that it was probably because of the presidential election of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce that everyone smelled the scent. As a result, when the opponents were all trying their best to compete for the share in the first half of the month, the Shangguan family was preparing medicines and supplies for the soldiers in Western Xinjiang. One thing went up and the other was declining, and the Shangguan family became weak. Now the second and third rooms began to complain that Shangguan Ruomeng had improper management.
Tong Shengyue is not small. Her family is a good family in Dongzhou. She had a good relationship with Shangguan’s family back then, so the heads of the two families matched her and Shangguan Jinglei. Who would have thought that because of something that Shangguan Jinglei was seriously injured after returning, and then she did not leave a child or a daughter. That’s all. Shangguan Jinglei became even more addicted to alcohol and no longer cared for his wife. Over time, the relationship between the two couples became worse and worse. Then Tong Shengyue devoted all her energy to the shopping mall, with the purpose of trying to grasp the industry belonging to Shangguan’s family.
In fact, everyone has already known who the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce has fallen. But the last time Zhang Changling gave birth to a birthday, Shangguan Ruomeng was desperate and refused to give up this opportunity. So he convened a secret meeting in the morning and asked the officials of each room to take money to various places to get some share.
There is no doubt that this move was immediately dissatisfied with the second and third houses, and such a big family change occurred.
Shangguan Ruomeng's voice came: "Aunt San, Ruomeng said that we still have a chance. This time Ruomeng has contacted several merchants and is very willing to cooperate with us, but it is lacking in money..."
Shangguan Ruomeng's words fell, and Tong Shengyue sneered: "Do you lack some? 30,000 taels of silver, but still less? Ruomeng, you are the shopkeeper of the Shangguan family. How much profit does the Shangguan family make every year? How much does it pay? How much does it take to do good deeds? How much money does the servants' salary? You are not unsure in your heart. In addition, medicine gardens in various places need to be maintained, and the relationship between the provinces and provinces needs to be opened. How much is this? In recent years, our Shangguan family has paid enough for the war in Western Xinjiang. Do you think we have more left?"
Before Shangguan Ruomeng interrupted, Tong Shengyue said again: "And your third uncle, look at how big the incident happened at home, where is he now? Do you know, just how much money he spends in Qingyue Tower every month? Do you think Aunt San can still give out 10,000 taels? Today, my father is here, and the account sheets of the three bedrooms and four shops are here, so I just made it clear. We cannot disobey the emperor's imperial edict, but everyone must do what they can. If you could have pleaded for Zhang Changling before, it would be fine if you delayed the plea for a while, and Aunt San is not afraid of gamble with you, but now, there is still half a month, half a month. Do you think that taking out 30,000 taels can exceed the share of the Xu family and the Chen family?"
Tong Shengyue said this and the whole house was speechless. Although her words were too excited, it was understandable. In terms of share competition, the chances of the Shangguan family winning were too small. Shangguan Lingyun understood that the big room, second room, and three rooms knew about it, even Feng Jueyu, who was standing outside the door, agreed.
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Lingyun's old voice slowly rang: "Everyone is here today, so let's make it clear. The Shangguan family has reached this point. If you have any better suggestions, say it..."
It was Tong Shengyue, and immediately continued: "Dad, don't blame your daughter-in-law for being directly. According to my opinion, the best way is to separate the family..."
"What?"
