six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 273
Su Liu's plan to move the fourth house of the Cao family is definitely not just talk, but what he says is what he says and what he says is true.

The fourth house of the Cao family has a prosperous population, and its main source of income is the spice business. Cao Guoqing, the eldest son of the fourth house, has always been in charge of it. Great wealth and honor, but compared to other houses, the fourth house is considered to have little property.

However, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Compared with Cao Kuina's water transportation, this spice business is nothing more than a small witch, and naturally wants to be richer.I thought this heir would be adopted, but Cheng Yaojin was born. Cao Kui didn't marry for many years, and suddenly married again. Now that he is old enough to have a son, he can't sit still.

When it came to light that the black hands against Mrs. Chen were exposed, the people in the four and five households pushed out an unremarkable girl to talk back, and the charges were even more unfounded. They said they looked down on Mrs. Chen, and said they had long admired Cao Kui, all messed up.

Cao Kui was angry in his heart. After all, he revealed the matter because of the little family relationship and the patriarch's guarantee, but he didn't have any contact with the people in these two families.

The hearts of the four and five families are unwilling, but they have been wronged in this matter first, and they are lucky if they don't pursue it now. They just wait for this matter to pass, and then slowly move around, but they forgot that there is still a grievance that must be revenged Su Liu.

Sometimes, being prosperous is not necessarily a good thing, just like the throne. There is only one throne and a lot of sons. Everyone wants to be the superior person to guide the world. Brothers went over the wall in order to fight for power in the family property, and Sifang was no exception.

"These four families are interesting. The eldest son is the son of his ex-wife, the second son Cao Guohua and the third son Cao Guoyuan were born to his step-wife, but the fourth master loves the concubine's concubine son Cao Guohui the most." Su Liu sneered with the information he got. .

Before the Chen family was married to Cao Kui, Su Liu accompanied her to get a rough idea of ​​the people in each house of the Cao family, but she only knew that there was such a person. As for the relationship inside, I didn't know it carefully. Now that I look at it this way, It's very interesting.

"Twelve shops, this Cao Guoqing is quite capable, he can open so many shops for just one spice business." Chen Ye said with raised eyebrows.

Chen Ye has turned [-] to [-], and he has passed the Tongsheng exam. In order to let him know more about the world and see more twists and turns, Su Liu deliberately dragged him to discuss this matter, which can be regarded as training him. up.

"Spices are used by both men and women. It is inevitable to make money. Otherwise, the court would not have restrictions. Just like tea, they are commonly used. Can they not make money?" Su Liu smiled slightly.

"Sister, what are you going to do?"

Su Liu glanced coldly at the document on the table, and said, "Internal differentiation."

Internal differentiation?Chen Ye blinked.

"Ye'er, one bamboo is easy to break, but it is not easy to put ten bamboos together. You should have heard this story before. It is unity. This is the truth of the so-called brotherhood. The ten beads are taken apart, so, do you think it is easy to break or not easy?"

"What does eldest sister mean?" Chen Ye asked thoughtfully, "Separate them from the inside?"

"There is no need for us to fight at all. The three sides have their own considerations. The eldest son is in power, and the second son is born to the stepmother. But, the fourth master favors the bastard. Do you think these brothers will be of the same heart?" Su Liu sneered.

"But isn't the eldest son in power now? It's been like this for so many years, and I haven't seen them fight." Chen Ye frowned.

"Not having a fight doesn't mean you don't want to. There is another reason, which is profit. If you suddenly realize that what you deserve is less, or the other party has more, what will you think? To fight or not to fight? There is only one share of family property, Everyone wants to be the boss, but whoever has the power is the boss."

"Whoever holds the power is the boss?" Chen Ye repeated in a murmur.

"That's right! There is an internal struggle. If there is a conflict, there will be a conflict. If there is a conflict, people will take advantage of it. The roots will rot from the inside, and one day it will rot outside." Su Liu curled up one lip coldly. Jiao said: "I want them to have four rooms, and watch their things disappear bit by bit."

"Then what are we going to do now, send people in?"

"Why, isn't this Cao Guohua also in charge of three shops? Hasn't he always refused to accept Cao Guoqing? Give him some sweetness and let him fight boldly. When a bubble grows bigger and bigger, there will be a bang at the end!" Su Liubi made a gesture, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, obviously smiling, but that smile made people shudder.

Don't they like money? Then she will set up a fairy trap for them, and lead them to jump down step by step, killing his fourth wife.

Chen Ye looked up at her, and suddenly felt that the eldest sister in front of her was more calm than before, her aura was colder, and she was even more difficult to see through.

Soon, it was reported that the second son of the fourth house of the Cao family met a spice merchant named Liao by chance. The other party said that there was a way to smuggle spices. A seal, that is, as an intermediary agent, can get [-]% of the profit.

But the other party was not at ease with Sovereign's well-regulated management methods, so Cao Guohua asked to participate in the management of other shops.Cao Guoqing advocated conservative management. After all, the other party's background is unknown, so don't be greedy for cheap. Cao Guohua thinks it's a fool to have money but not make money. In order to fight for power, the two sides are fighting openly and secretly.

Although Cao Guoqing is the eldest son, his mother is long gone, and his father favors the concubine. Since there is a way to make more money, the final outcome is naturally biased toward Cao Guohua. Soon, I negotiated a large order of nearly [-] with other small businesses.

With such a large amount of business, Cao Guohua walks with wind, and the surnamed Liao purchases the goods, and he acts as a middleman. He only needs to use the spice stamps of the Cao family, and he can easily get tens of thousands of taels of silver. How do you think about this? It's all a big pie!

So, the Liao merchant went back to buy goods, and he fought with Cao Guoqing for the master control like a raging fire.

And Cao Guohui, the concubine of the fourth house, heard somewhere that the family would be divided in the future. He only had one or two shops, so he urged Mr. Cao to transfer the three shops and the farm to his name in private, but this was happened by a coincidence. The other three sons knew, so the war began.

The four houses are breaking up!
But at this time, something went wrong with the big business that Cao Guohua originally talked about. The so-called merchants needed to use money to clear the way on the grounds that the goods were detained in the government office. Cao Guohua asked Cao Guohua to help and use the goods as collateral. The profits were also distributed privately to Cao Guohua by [-]%.

There must be relevant approval documents and seals for making spices. Cao Guohua also knows this, and he went to find out that the goods were indeed detained.Anyway, everyone is cooperating, and this batch of goods is equivalent to their own money. In the future, the extra money will go into their own pockets, so they embezzled 4 taels from the public account, and at least dragged the goods back.

Merchant Liao was naturally grateful, and got up with Cao Guohua as brothers and exchanged cups. When Cao Guohua woke up, the building was empty.

It's fine for you to leave, anyway, there are still a lot of spices, Cao Guohua didn't take it seriously, but when the merchants who ordered those orders came to the door, Cao Guohua felt that something was wrong.

After looking at all the spices, he was completely dumbfounded.

It’s true that spices are spices, but they are all expired, soaked in water and have been moldy for a long time. Let alone buying them, you can’t bear to look at them.

In other words, he bought a bunch of waste for 4 taels!With this cognition in his mind, Cao Guohua fainted all of a sudden.

When he woke up, he was not waiting for someone else, but was told that the 8 taels had already been taken away by the surnamed Liao. , you Cao Guohua must deliver the goods to the merchants.

What, shouting for injustice?The shop is yours, the guarantor is also yours, and the spice seals are all yours. Do you want to renege on the debt?Go, see the official!

Naturally, Cao Guohua couldn't meet the officials, so he had to use his own spices to send goods to those merchants, and also emptied Sifang's foundation.

Lost nearly 12 taels of property all of a sudden, the capital turnover was not coming, the operation of this shop was completely paralyzed, and half of the shop was closed all at once. bed.

The money lost because of Cao Guohua, Cao Guoqing and Cao Guohui naturally quit, they argued every day to separate the family, and the rest of the shop must not be given to Cao Guohua and the others. The 12 taels cheated because of Cao Guohua is naturally to be counted. to their room.

The matter of the fourth house of the Cao family is embarrassing. This house is considered the most prosperous in the Cao family. Although it is not as rich as Cao Kui, because there are many children, it is difficult to live with people of the same clan, but There are more than a dozen shops, and they are spices. Compared with many merchants in this city, they are already rich and noble.

But unfortunately, this kind of wealth is gone, and they all say that they have been disliked by others, and they don't know who has fallen into such a stumbling block.

And with Wufang's misfortune, after Wufang's best-studied young master Xiucai was dismissed, everyone knew who made you offend someone who shouldn't be offended.

It was no secret in the Cao family that Chen was almost murdered while she was pregnant with a child. Everyone knew what happened. Later, Cao Kui only let it go because of his love, but Su Liu was the only one who was missed.

Even Sifang and Wufang faintly knew that it was written by Su Liu, but there was no proof, and they had such a background, so they didn't dare to say anything, but Cao Mingyan from Sifang came here to scold Su Liu recklessly. How vicious and so on.

Su Liu was not annoyed, and let her scold her. On the second day, a matchmaker came to the fourth room, saying that the prefect of Yuncheng in Qingzhou had taken a fancy to Cao Mingyan and wanted to take her as the No. 12 concubine. After passing out, she didn't dare to trouble Su Liu again.

What kind of prefect, but a perverted old man in his sixties!
