Feng Jueyu realized that he had benefited greatly from the trip to Jishifang. On the way back to Shangguan Mansion, he kept thinking about the issue of super imperial power. Taking into account the current crisis in Shangguan Mansion, he felt more and more that he should control a power belonging to the Shangguan Mansion.
own strength.
This power does not need to be too strong, but it must have the ability to protect itself. After all, there are always people in this world who bully the weak and fear the strong, such as Xu Zixiong. If he is still the Feng Jueyu he was before, and is framed and bullied by him again and again,
I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around for the rest of my 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 Mansion by getting rid of him, and he had always thought so, but now it seems that Xu Zixiong's purpose is not just that.
In fact, it is not difficult to analyze that in the election for the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, the Shangguan government lost its initiative and is now in a passive situation. Miaoshan Hall, Huichun Hall, two medical shops have joined forces, Xicheng and Nancheng and parts of the eastern
Everything is under the control of these two people. If they want to replace the Shangguan family as the leader in Tiannan's pharmaceutical industry, they definitely have strong capital and advantages. Do they want to deal with themselves?
They already have enough capital to keep up with the officials in face-to-face confrontations. If they were to think about it, if they were Xu Zixiong, he would only cause trouble for them unless he was too stupid to do anything. From this, it seems that the purpose of Miao Shan Tang remains to be seen.
To collect evidence, if the Emperor and I really mean what I want, no matter whether the Shangguan family can get the position of president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, the outcome will not be much better.
After much deliberation, Feng Jueyu was left with a method, a question of method, an effective method that could not only ensure that the Shangguan family's property would not suffer serious losses, but also prevent the emperor from finding any excuse or solution.
Dealing with the Shangguan family is the best strategy.
Of course, if you guess wrong and the emperor did not intervene in this matter, then this matter is completely a sudden commercial competition. Win or lose, the loss to the Shangguan government will not be too great.
. But you have to be careful. If you guess correctly, the Shangguan family will be like walking on a cliff. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of catastrophe.
While he was pondering, the gate of Shangguan Mansion was close in front of him. Two servants in green clothes and small hats were standing in front of the door to guard the door. Shangguan Ruofan looked around anxiously on the streets on both sides, as if he was waiting for someone.
Looking at the high-hanging red lanterns and the Shangguan Mansion, which was so quiet that even the footsteps of the servants walking through the courtyard could not be heard, Feng Jueyu's first thought was that something had happened.
"Brother-in-law, you are finally back."
Shangguan Ruofan saw Feng Jueyu coming back from afar with long, swaying strides, and trotted all the way to him: "Brother-in-law, hurry up, something big has happened. Grandpa asked you to come over."
"What happened?" 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 I wrote this, it was just dark, and the intoxicating red clouds were still hanging on the Western Mountains, half of which had not yet fallen. There were no stars in the sky, and it was still early. It seemed that something big had happened in such a hurry to close the door. Especially when the two sides suddenly appeared.
Two teams of senior servants wearing waist swords further confirmed Feng Jueyu's guess.
"Brother-in-law, come with me quickly. If it's too late, things will change." Shangguan Ruofan's face was solemn, his eyebrows were knitted together, and when he pulled Feng Jueyu towards the backyard, his palms were wet.
My hands sweated.
"How come the family has changed?" Feng Jueyu's heart sank after hearing this.
Shangguan Ruofan pled cautiously: "Brother-in-law, this time it's all up to you, otherwise, Shangguan's family will really be in chaos."
"Look at me? The more you talk, the more confused I become. What happened?"
Shangguan Ruofan said as he walked: "The second and third bedrooms are splitting up."
"Damn, such a big thing happened." Feng Jueyu was struck by lightning when he heard this, and said in his heart, Shangguan Liuyun, Shangguan Jinglei are so courageous, the old man is not dead yet, he is making trouble to separate the family, this is not bad
.
After a while, the two of them came outside the study. Feng Jueyu never expected that the dispute between the third house and the third house would happen in advance. He thought that the last time the matter of Shangguan Ruowen and Shangguan Ruowu had stopped the second house, the result was not that it stopped.
It's the calm before the storm.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Feng Jueyu and Shangguan Ruofan heard the sounds of quarrels coming from inside...
"The Xu family and the Chen family have joined forces, and the two monopoly plans have been executed perfectly. This month, Chengxi's total business volume has reached 700,000 taels of silver, which is a full 20% increase compared to the previous share of Huichun Hall, which is roughly
The medicinal materials for sale. Because of the monopoly, there is no other pharmacy in the west of the city except Huichun Hall. The aristocratic families and dignitaries in various states, counties and localities also use medicinal materials from the Chen family, so their share is very high. It has only been half a month.
, their total amount is twenty-three thousand taels higher than ours, Huairen Hall is in danger."
The voice that spoke was clearly that of an old man, very unfamiliar...
Then another person continued: "The total amount in the south of the city has 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 bear the brunt of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce competition...
Then there was a woman's voice, mixed with angry cries: "Dad, my wife is always in charge of the third house. From the middle of the city to the east of the city, there are four shops each, and they can prepare more than 100,000 kinds of medicine every month."
They have tried their best to deliver goods to the outside world. For twenty years, Sanfang has never asked for anything. It only hopes that Huairen Hall can develop stably and leave food for the servants. But look at it, Dad.
What has become of the Shangguan family? In the past, our Shangguan family just stood still, and the Xu family and the Chen family never wanted to step on us. But in the first half of the month, when we should be focusing on the family property, because of the escort
Materials have pulled down the monthly quota. Look at the Xu family again, how did they do it? In ten days, just ten days, everyone in the east of the city was named Xu, how can we fight against them? Once the position of president of Tiannan Chamber of Commerce is
If the Xu family takes it away, will Huairen Hall be able to support such a large family in the future?"
This voice is familiar to Feng Jueyu. 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 had no descendants left in his mid-forties. He had never cared about anything other than drinking and visiting the brothels. Tong Shengyue was in charge of all matters, big and small, that Shangguan's family had entrusted to the four houses of the third room.
He is not as outstanding as Shangguan Ruomeng, but he can still be considered a good housekeeper.
The third room manages drug preparation and is also responsible for half of the warehouse. They are responsible for taking over the order share and sending people to prepare it, and then hand it over to the second room for delivery to the orderer. Basically, it has nothing to do with the external business negotiations of the first room.
.
Hearing this, Feng Jueyu generally understood. I am afraid that the election for the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce made everyone smell it. As a result, in the first half of the month, when the opponents were trying their best to fight for share, the Shangguan family was
While preparing medicines and supplies for the soldiers in Western Xinjiang, the Shangguan family became weak. Now the second and third families began to complain about Shangguan Ruomeng's mismanagement.
Speaking of which, Tong Shengyue has a good background. Our family is a good family in Dongzhou. We had a good relationship with the government back then, so the head of the two families brought her together with Shangguan Jinglei. Who would have thought that because of something that happened back then, Shangguan Jinglei
After he came back, he was seriously injured, and then he didn't leave a son and a half daughter, so that's it. After Shangguan Jinglei, he became addicted to alcohol and stopped loving his wife. As time went by, the relationship between the couple became worse and worse. Then.
Tong Shengyue put all her energy into the shopping mall, aiming to seize her own share of the Shangguan family's property.
In fact, everyone already knew who the president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce would be. However, Shangguan Ruomeng begged for Zhang Changling’s birthday last time to no avail and refused to give up this opportunity, so he called a meeting in the morning.
A secret meeting is held in which the heads of each house are given money to go out to various places to participate in activities and strive for part of the share.
Undoubtedly, this move immediately caused dissatisfaction from the second and third bedrooms, which led to such a big family change.
Shangguan Ruomeng's voice came: "Third Aunt, Ruomeng said that we still have a chance. This time Ruomeng has contacted several businesses and is very willing to cooperate with us, but we are lacking some money..."
Shangguan Ruomeng's words faded and Tong Shengyue sneered: "What do you lack? Thirty thousand taels of silver is still less? Ruomeng, you are the boss of the Shangguan family. How much profit does the Shangguan family make every year? How much does it turn in? How much does it pay?
How much does it cost to do good deeds? How much is the salary of the servants? You have no idea in your mind. In addition, medicine gardens in various places still need to be maintained, and the relationship between various states and provinces needs to be opened up. How much is this? In recent years, for the sake of the West
Our Shangguan family has paid enough for the war in Xinjiang, do you think we have more left?"
Without waiting for Shangguan Ruomeng to interrupt, Tong Shengyue added: "And your third uncle, look, how much happened at home and where is he now? Do you know that he is alone in Qingyue Tower every month?
How much does it cost? Do you think the third aunt can still come up with ten thousand taels? Dad is here today, and the account books of the three bedrooms and four shops are also here. Let me make it clear. We cannot disobey the emperor's decree, but
We all have to act within our capabilities. If you could ask Zhang Changling for a delay before, that would be fine. Third Aunt is not afraid to take a gamble with you, but now, there is still half a month, yes, half a month. What do you think?
With these 30,000 taels, can we exceed the shares of the Xu family and the Chen family?"
Tong Shengyue's words made everyone in the hall speechless. Although her words were too exciting, it was understandable. In the competition for shares, the chance of the Shangguan family winning was too small. Shangguan Lingyun understood this.
Everyone knew it, and even Feng Jueyu, who was standing outside the door now, agreed.
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Lingyun's old voice slowly sounded: "Everyone is here today, so let's make it clear. The Shangguan family has reached this point. If you have any better suggestions, please tell us..."
It was Tong Shengyue who immediately answered: "Dad, don't blame your daughter-in-law for being direct. In my opinion, the best way is to separate the family..."
"What?"
