Now it can be said that the head of the Zhao family is surrounded by soldiers from the yamen. Generations of scholars, there are always some people who like to take shortcuts. The head of the Zhao family is surrounded by nothing more than saying some good things, some disgusting things, some sayings.
It's just something that goes against your own thoughts. But as long as you are thick-skinned, money will come quickly. The little bit of money the Zhao family owner leaks from the fingers is enough for them to live for several years.
Even these scholars who are poor or not poor at all, or those who pretend to be here, can stay around the head of the Zhao family obediently, flattering and flattering the head of the Zhao family for real money. In short, making money like this is simply too much.
It's easy. You can have food, drink, and entertainment, but that's just saying something that goes against your will.
So we can't blame those liars for directly taking advantage of such a big fat guy like the head of the Zhao family.
Moreover, this piece of fat is still dangling in front of you every day. Which fly wouldn't swoop on it? Besides, there is a note on the face of this big fat piece of meat promising to cheat you for free, and the font is enlarged.
One, as if afraid that no one could see it, was still shining.
This is simply a fatal temptation for those scammers. So some bold ones remained wary and tried their skills for a while. As the situation developed, these scammers discovered: Hey, this Zhao family seems to be interested in
Their behavior is not objectionable at all. At least no one will hold them accountable. Oh my, how could I miss such a good deal?
So soon, all the swindlers in this county knew that the head of the Zhao family was a big piece of fat, and anyone could cut it off as he pleased. No matter how much money you cheated him, no one would come after you to pay for it. And
This liar is so familiar, the more familiar the liar is, the more trust the head of the Zhao family will have. The more you lie to him, the more willing he will be to you. This is simply the liar's bread and butter.
Later, all the swindlers in the county formed a coalition. Everyone must swear to resolutely keep the information that the head of the Zhao family is easy to swindle, and resolutely not let swindlers from other places get a foothold in this county. No matter what,
They must unite to protect the deceitful head of the Zhao family and ensure that all his money in the future will fall into the pockets of his family.
Of course, the Zhao family members did not know about such things. He just felt that he had many old friends, and these people appeared very regularly. Every few days, he would meet an old friend, and that old friend happened to be in his hands.
Some good items are about to be sold. For the head of the Zhao family who is eager to prove that he is far better than his brother, this is simply a benefactor sent to his door.
It can be said that the death of the previous head of the Zhao family in another place has brought about earth-shaking changes to the family. Although the Zhao family does not look like much from the outside, it is actually very chaotic internally. Since those clan elders
The dead passed away, the sick became sick, no one could come out to take charge of the overall situation, and the people below joined in the struggle for power and profit one after another.
Although they don't need to think about the position of the head of the Zhao family, after all, every family member is elected from the direct branch. But they can still compete for the position of the clan elder. After all, two ancestors have passed away, but
Two positions have been made for them. Besides, those clan elders who are sick have no way to serve as consuls and need someone to manage the forces under their control.
So the Zhao family members who all thought they were capable gathered together and refused to accept anyone else. In the end, the power within the Zhao family fell apart and was very scattered. Basically, whoever had the ability to grab a bit counted.
But no one is truly recognized by everyone.
It's just that these struggles all happened within the Zhao family, and were only struggles between the clan elders. The head of the Zhao family was not affected in any way. On the contrary, he got a lot of benefits from this period, after all, those people all
All their energy is invested in fighting for power, and no one will restrict the behavior of the family leader. Many people even extend an olive branch, hoping that the family leader can support their side of the force.
Moreover, in recent decades, the Zhao family's business outside has shrunk a lot, and many shops in other places have been closed and sold to others. Only a few large shops in the county are still run by the Zhao family. The main reason is that
, the Zhao family no longer has a backer. If you do business outside without a strong backer, it will be easy to be swallowed up by others.
The Zhao family has no choice. Now that they don't have a smart host, they can only shrink their economic network. This kind of thing has happened several times in the history of the Zhao family. But it usually reaches this level every time.
At that time, with the help of several clan elders, the then head of the Zhao family was able to at least preserve most of the Zhao family's properties in this county. The foundation of preservation could at least guarantee the Zhao family's livelihood.
If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The Zhao family knows this truth very well. So no matter how confused the current head of the Zhao family is, he still knows that the industry in this county must be preserved.
But just because he was afraid of trouble, he left all these matters to his third brother to manage. Speaking of the third master of the Zhao family, he was a different kind of person. The head of the Zhao family believed that when his eldest brother was around, he was so
Under the dazzling halo of genius, there is nothing abnormal about his third brother.
Like other tribesmen, he is a daily tribe student who learns the daily life in a step-by-step manner. However, unlike the current head of the Zhao family, his performance is relatively unremarkable on the surface, but in fact, he holds a grudge in his heart and wishes he could pull his eldest brother down with his own hands.
Altar.
But the third brother of the head of the Zhao family is also a very dull person. He has not been very talkative since he was a child. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the eldest brother is so outstanding that the following two brothers have been ignored.
When a child is growing up and does not receive attention from others, and most importantly from his parents, it is inevitable that he will have some physical and mental problems. The head of the Zhao family feels that his third brother is definitely a very different person.
Otherwise, just like now, everyone in the Zhao family would like to get in front of him and flatter himself, hoping to get some benefits from him. But as for his third brother, even if he gave him a lot of work, he did not see him taking advantage of it.
What kind of benefits does power seek for itself? Instead, it means doing its job as well as possible and not saying a word about anything else.
Sometimes the current head of the Zhao family finds it strange that his third brother and his sickly third brother and sister don't know how they usually get along. Could it be that when the two of them are together, their third brother also doesn't say anything?
After talking for a long time, Tian didn't even make a sound. (To be continued)
