Looking at Mr. Shen's letter, Su Mo didn't know whether to be angry or laughing. She dusted off the letter and said to Huangfujin: "This Mr. Shen is such a cunning old fox. He cooperated with us and even made a timed thunderbolt around us.
He himself did not want to bear the charge of abandoning his subordinates, so he handed him over to us and let us handle it."
Of course, it was not without benefits. Mr. Shen gave another 20% of the profits of the bank in Beijing to Su Mo, and now Su Mo takes the lion's share.
Su Mo discussed with Su Yue and gave half of the bank's profits to Hua Zi. After all, after they left, Hua Zi and others would have to make a living near Jingli.
Moreover, helping her keep an eye on the news in the capital also requires money.
In the past, Huazi used money to withdraw from Su Yue. Now that the Su family was returning to Ningzhou, Su Mo wanted to simply give Huazi a token so that he could withdraw part of the money at will.
Other teahouses, restaurants, and fragrance houses are still managed by people, and the account books will also be supervised by dedicated personnel.
She and Su Yue no longer need to keep an eye on the garden. They have set up a garden management team and have a few senior staff to help her take care of it. There have been no mistakes and they will still take care of it in the future.
As for the farm, there is no need to worry.
As for Agutai, she was a little undecided. It was Huangfujin who invited him to help prepare spices. Now he is still doing well and is obsessed with the development of spices, but she and Huangfujin are about to retreat.
Should he be left alone?
He might not be happy to take him to Ningzhou.
You have to find time to have a good talk with him.
It was the winter solstice month in the blink of an eye, and Su Mo and others were as busy as spinning tops, barely touching the ground every day.
A few months ago, she and Su Yue had sent someone to escort a convoy back to Ningzhou, which mainly contained some large pieces of furniture, some domestic servants, and some tribesmen who depended on them for life.
The reason why Su Mo sent people back first was because she had selfish motives. She sent out a message, and the Su family sent the old lady and other family members back first, while she, her second brother, Su Guogong and others left last.
The purpose was to see if there were anyone with ulterior motives on the road and to intercept them halfway.
What she was afraid of was that there were people in Beijing who didn't treat the Su family sincerely.
Fortunately, after walking for about a month, the news came back that the journey was safe. Although they encountered robbers, they retreated voluntarily because of Su Guogong's banner. The steward of the Su family also took the initiative to give them a thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift.
