Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 132 The Ding Family Conspiracy

Runzhou City, Tianfu Building.

This is one of the five largest restaurants in Runzhou City. It is a four-story building with carved beams and painted buildings. The interior layout is exquisite and magnificent.

In the night, this Tianfu Building is still brightly lit, business is booming, and various dinners and guests can be overwhelmed, relying on cooking and tea skills, because the Lu family behind Tianfu Building is also one of the nine major families in Jiangzuo. Tea is the largest main business.

The first and second floors are more noisy and lively, but the third floor is less noisy and becomes quiet and elegant. Generally, entertainers who sing and perform, or Yingyan prostitutes who accompany drinks and sit down, are not qualified to come upstairs. Most of the dignitaries and squires come to drink and talk about things.

At this time, in a private room on the fourth floor, Ding Yuexi, Ding Yin and his son of the Ding family hosted a banquet for Bai Shouyi, the second wife of the Bai family, and were having a chat over wine.

Ding Yuexi felt that the dinner was almost over, so he went straight to the point: "The dog originally liked Bai Susu very much, but Mr. Bai didn't agree with the Ding family's marriage proposal, so Bai Susu also chose a Mr. Su to be entangled, and a good marriage was not negotiated. The marriage between the Bai and Bai families has failed, and my Ding family can only be courteous first and then join forces, and speed up the pace of annexation."

Bai Shouyi was half drunk and asked, "What merger!"

Ding Yuexi said earnestly and sincerely: "Brother Bai Jia, now everyone in the northern porcelain organ kiln is being produced one after another, going to the sea for trade, and for trade in the Western Regions, it is not as good as before. The official kiln in the Tang Dynasty is not prosperous, and it is produced by private kilns of wealthy families. The scale is not enough. It is difficult to save the development and growth of Tang Dynasty porcelain, so my Ding family intends to produce celadon and white porcelain at the same time to achieve interoperability and assistance, reduce costs and expand scale!"

"Then, what does this have to do with my Bai family?" Bai Shouyi was a little dazed, but he still didn't understand.

Ding Yuexi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course it has a lot to do with it. To be honest, we already have the secret recipe of the Bai family. We have also experimented with making fine white porcelain many times. Just this afternoon, we made the best fine white porcelain. Porcelain is not inferior to the white porcelain of the Bai family, so your Bai family's porcelain business will soon be shut down and cut in half."

Bai Shouyi was a little drunk at first, but after hearing the words, he was so scared that he woke up. He was about to get up, but was held back by Ding Yuexi, who smiled and said, "Brother Shouyi, it's not too late to leave after listening to what brother has said!"

"This..." Bai Shouyi hesitated, nodded and sat down again.

Ding Yuexi said proudly: "The Ding family's celadon and white porcelain will soon cut off the Bai family's market and sales, and with the help of Mr. Governor's connections, your Bai family's porcelain foreign trade and tribute to the royal family will not work. If you leave now, it won't help your Bai family, why don't you cooperate with me?"

Bai Shouyi wondered, "How to cooperate?"

Ding Yuexi smiled mysteriously: "We will help you regain the power of the family and help you sit on the position of the head of the family!"

Bai Shouyi was startled for a moment, his heart was really moved, and he asked, "What can you do?"

"As long as Mr. Bai is awake and alive, he will appoint Bai Susu to take power. You, the Erlang of the Bai family, have no chance. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your son!"

"You plan to let me murder my father?" Bai Shouyi's expression changed.

Ding Yuexi smiled lightly: "I didn't ask you to murder, I just asked you to give your father a medicine, so that he would induce a stroke. By then, he will still be alive, but it will be difficult to speak. You take the opportunity to win over the Bai family members." Once the elders seize power, it will be easy to sit on the position of Patriarch."

Bai Shouyi's complexion changed, and he was also struggling with introversion. Although he knew that he was seeking skin from a tiger by doing so, he was very excited to regain the position of Patriarch who was originally his turn.

Seeing that Ding Yuexi didn't turn his back on the spot, it meant there was something going on and he could continue lobbying.

In fact, before the banquet, the Ding family had already studied Bai Shouyi, the second wife of the Bai family. When he was young, he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, did not do business properly, had little ability, and was a typical example of great ambition and lack of talent.After Bai Shouren, the eldest son of the Bai family, was disabled, Bai Shouyi wanted to take control of the Bai family's business, but was directly denied by the old man Bai, who refused to let him manage any major family affairs, and launched Bai Susu to take care of the family business.

As a result, Bai Shouyi had a grudge against the old man and Bai Susu, and he had been holding 100 taels of pocket money every month, and his heart was full of resentment.

Today was an opportunity, Ding Yuexi threatened and lured Bai Shouyi, and Bai Shouyi was ready to move.

Ding Yuexi continued to induce and said: "You don't need to kill your father, just let him stop giving orders after he has a stroke, and just give pointers to family affairs. If you feel guilty, after you get the position of Patriarch, you can pay more respects in front of the bed. Be filial. As for the porcelain business of the Bai family, it will definitely plummet. There is no way around it, but besides porcelain, your Bai family has so many side businesses. If you hand it over to you, it is still a second-rate big family in Jiangzuo. You took care of it."

"But porcelain has always been the main business of my Bai family!" Bai Shouyi also felt a little bit reluctant.

Ding Yuexi sneered and said: "As I said, my Ding family has already controlled the secret recipe of your Bai family. Soon, my Ding family's white porcelain will cut off most of your Bai family's sales shops and channels. Mix and match blue and white porcelain at the same time. If you sell it, the price will only be lower than yours. The road of Baijia porcelain is about to be cut off. You take advantage of the family chaos at this time, and your father has a stroke. You stand up and take the position of the head of the family. It is justified and easy to do. Otherwise, you won't stand a chance!"

Bai Shouyi thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth. After the secret recipe of Baijia porcelain is leaked, it is doomed to fail. There is no room for resistance. It is better to think about how to continue to operate in the side business, even if the sales volume of porcelain shrinks, only the original three One-tenth, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, falling from the nine major families in Jiangzuo, at least it is still a second-rate family, which is also a rich merchant family, not comparable to ordinary wealthy squires.

"Let me think about it!" Bai Shouyi was a little confused, making a choice between family rights and family morality.

"Don't hesitate, the opportunity will never come again. Your father is already seventy. Seventy years of life is rare. If you live enough, you can enjoy the glory and wealth that you should enjoy. Now that you have a full house of children and grandchildren, and your family property is tens of millions, you should also enjoy it." I'm satisfied. It won't kill him, just let him lie down and rest." Ding Yuexi smiled lightly, and then stuffed a powder packet into Bai Shouyi's hand.

Ding Yin, who was seated at the same table, also said with a smug smile: "Nephew, first of all, congratulations to Uncle Bai who is about to take over the title of homeowner. At that time, if the Bai family still wants to befriend my Ding family, the younger generation can still come to ask for marriage and marry Su Su." Back to the Ding family, the ceramics of the Bai family can also be produced in small quantities in the future, and the impact on the Bai family will not be too great, and our two families will be one family in the future."

Ding Yuexi nodded and said: "Yin'er is right. If you become a family, then the ceramic market of the Bai family will also leave some gaps for the Bai family. In this way, the Bai family's industry will not have a big impact. You just need to finish it. This vote is enough, as the saying goes, compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, why are you hesitating, non-toxic and not a husband!"

After Bai Shouyi heard the words, he clenched his palms tightly, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he was already moved by what the Ding family father and son said.
