The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 42
"Daughter, thank you for your father's teaching." Chu Qing folded his hands on his waist and bent his knees.It looks like he came here with Chu Zhengyang to study business.

At this time, Mingliu and Fusu, who knew Chuqing well, both lowered their heads and held back their laughter.These words were clearly told by my young lady to my master in the carriage before coming here, but at this moment it was reversed.

But the two stewards of the Chu family, who didn't know the key point, looked at each other and saw a hint of clarity in each other's eyes.They were still puzzled why the boss would make an exception and bring the young lady with him, because it turned out that he wanted to teach the young lady to do business.At the same time, the two of them automatically made up their minds, probably because Chu Qing was hit by the incident some time ago, and because Chu Zhengyang was worried about this daughter, he wanted to give her some skills, even if he would guard the Chu family's family business in the future Nor is it difficult to live.

But, can this young lady who has never been interested in doing business learn it?Even though Chu Qing took down the imperial plaque, Fang Yuan and the two accountants still didn't quite believe in this lady's ability.

On the other side of Changba, the manager of the Hu family turned his small eyes as big as sesame mung beans on the faces of the tea farmers, and his heart was aroused.Those hesitant expressions clearly showed that he had listened to Chu Zhengyang's words just now.

Suddenly, he laughed. He was well aware of the financial resources of the Chu family. When he arrived, his master’s words about buying new tea at any cost were also in his mind, so he said to the Chu family: "Then I don’t know what the conditions of the Chu family are? Since members of the Chu family have said that there is fair competition and we can’t deceive us tea farmers, then I don’t know how much better the conditions of the Chu family are than my Hu family.”

Chu Zhengyang and Chu Qing looked at each other and smiled. The former took a step forward and said loudly to the surrounding tea farmers: "Folks, this time, my Chu family business has brought a large amount of grain. If you want, you can exchange tea for grain. You can also exchange tea for silver."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was in an uproar.

They didn't seem to understand what the Chu family was up to.Even Fang and Yuan looked at each other, full of astonishment.

"Member Chu, what do you mean?" The old village chief looked at Chu Zhengyang hesitantly.

Without waiting for Chu Zhengyang to explain, he heard the Hu family steward sneer coldly: "I'm afraid that the Chu family's business can't afford the extra money, so they are thinking of collecting tea in this way? Grain? Hmph, how can it compare to that?" Real money is good."

That's right.The words of the housekeeper of the Hu family attracted many tea farmers to nod in agreement.Since ancient times, buyers and sellers have always settled with real gold and silver. How can there be a saying of barter?Even if there is, it is only in remote and backward places, where there is no money, so they behave like this.Could it be that the Chu family really wanted to come to them to take advantage of the lack of money in the business as the Hu family said?

This is simply outrageous!

The tea towns are all based on growing tea, and they rely on these teas in exchange for money. This Chu family is so black-hearted that they actually want to cheat their new tea?

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed the tea farmers became.The expression on his face also became unkind. When he looked at the members of the Chu family, he felt like chasing flies away.

"Let's go if you don't have any money."

"Yes, yes, we only need silver, not food. With silver, we will naturally buy it."

Such voices rose and fell in the crowd, and the steward of the Hu family had a sneer on his face.I am very happy to watch everyone's emotions and continue to develop in the direction I want.

In his opinion, the Chu family's trip was doomed to be wasted.

The tea farmers were so angry that even the old village chief couldn't speak for the Chu family at this moment.The faces of the two accountants in Fangyuan changed slightly, and they both thought at the same time, if this trip fails, then wouldn't the Chu family want to...

At the critical moment, Chu Zhengyang calmly waited for the crowd's discussion to subside, and then said with a warm smile: "Everyone, please listen to me. The Chu family has been harvesting tea in Yaoxi for many years, but has it ever deceived you? "

This is true.

The noisy voice fell silent after Chu Zhengyang's words.This phenomenon changed the face of the steward of the Hu family.

"Then please explain to us what Chu Yuanwai said." A shout came from the crowd.Although I don't know who yelled this sentence, it gave Chu Zhengyang a ladder to continue talking.

The tea farmer's emotions gradually calmed down. Chu Zhengyang followed the shouts of the crowd, smiled slightly, and continued: "I know that you have worked hard for a year to feed your family. There is no Chu family business. Money, but thinking, Yaoxi is far away from the town, not to mention the hard work of going back and forth, buying high-priced grain from the grain store, even the cottages along the way, I am afraid it is not a good match Yes. Chu has nothing else but love for you, so in the name of the Chu family business, he bought cheap grain, and you can exchange tea for food and silver according to the population of your family. Isn’t it much more convenient? It’s also much safer?”

this……

These words really touched the bottom of the tea farmers' hearts.Not all soils and climates can produce good tea. The reason why Yaoxi has become a well-known tea town is because only here can Yaoxi tea be grown.

This place is far away from the town, and the traffic is blocked. Although there are official roads on the road, there are also many bandits.Every time they are in groups, they go shopping in the city with trepidation. If they are lucky, they will return home safely. If they are not lucky, they may be lucky to return empty-handed.

In addition, after they exchanged the silver, they went to the city to buy food. They could only buy food several times the price from those unscrupulous grain merchants. Although they were angry every time, they couldn't express it. It was really aggrieved It's too bad.

Now, the Chu family business took this into consideration, and actually shipped the grain to the door... This made many tea farmers' minds move.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the old village chief smiled and agreed after Chu Zhengyang's words fell.It seems that Chu Zhengyang's words reversed the previous disadvantage a lot.

However, Chu Zhengyang didn't care so much, he just glanced at his daughter without leaving any trace, seeing that her expression was indifferent, although she couldn't see the corners of her mouth, but from her slightly curved phoenix eyes, she could see that she was smiling at the moment.Suddenly, this old businessman who has been in business for many years suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind, which made him feel more confident.

Perhaps, God gave us such a daughter because of pity on me and my husband.While thinking about it, Chu Zhengyang said to himself in his heart.

"Member Chu, let's exchange food!"

Finally, the discussion among the crowd had a result.With the first voice, there was a second, a third, and finally, all the tea farmers agreed to the Chu family's new conditions for this year.

As for the steward of the Hu family, when the attitude of the tea farmers was one-sided, his expression was somber and ugly.He didn't want to stay and wait to see the taunting expressions of the Chu family's father and daughter. Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he led them away secretly, but before leaving, he gave Chu Zhengyang a fierce look with his eyes full of viciousness.
