Chapter 152

Runzhou City, Han Mansion.

Han Xizai was sitting on the soft bed in the study, wearing a loose robe and a crown made of black gauze on his head. It seemed that he had the style and style of the Xuanshi of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

He held the printed version of Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in his hand, and read it with gusto. He sighed in his heart about the heroes in troubled times, the marriage of Wagang, the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, and the ingenious writing of Su Chen, and the fascinating long story. !

At this moment, Han Xiaopang's voice came from outside: "Father, something happened, something happened to Dad..."

When Han Xizai heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he looked at his youngest son Han Yunpeng who was rushing in after the door was opened. He smashed the volume of the Sui and Tang Dynasty romance novels in his hand, and shouted angrily, "Little bastard, your father Nothing happened, what are you cursing?"

Han Yunpeng covered his head to hide, and said with a smile: "Don't hit me, Daddy, I really have something to say!"

"Can you have a shit?" Han Xizai looked disdainful.

Han Yunpeng said anxiously: "Oh, it's Brother Su, Su Chen's business!"

When Han Xizai heard Su Chen's name, he became concerned and asked, "What happened to him?"

Han Yunpeng explained: "Nothing happened to him. To be precise, something happened to the Bai family! Mr. Bai had a stroke and couldn't speak, and Bai Susu's second uncle seized power at home. Outside, the Ding family united many people in the ceramics business The merchants broke the contract collectively and no longer ordered white porcelain from the Bai family. Moreover, it is said that the Ding family will negotiate with other big families to block the flow of the Bai family. To pay in advance, or to slow down the provision of vegetables, mutton, wine, etc., will completely collapse the Bai family."

Han Xizai asked with some doubts: "What does this have to do with Su Chen?"

Han Yunpeng said triumphantly: "You don't know about this, Bai Susu and Su Chen...have an affair!"

Han Xizai was stunned: "Why have legs?"

Han Yunpeng smiled and said: "It's just a personal relationship. Su Chen and Bai Susu have a marriage contract, and the two have business contacts. The child is at Brother Su's house and has met Miss Bai several times. In front of outsiders, she is cold and lonely. In front of Chen, hehe, but he is very gentle, even a blind person can see that the relationship between the two is not simple, and it is estimated that they only need to pierce that relationship."

After Han Xizai heard the words, he thought about it for a while and understood what his son meant. Something happened to the Bai family. Bai Susu and Su Chen had a very close relationship, so Su Chen would definitely help the Bai family and get into trouble together.

However, he pretended not to know: "What does this have to do with our Han family, what kind of dignity are you yelling at!"

"It doesn't matter. Brother Su and I hit it off right away. I have already regarded him as a brother. Besides, don't you value him a lot, Dad? If you don't go out and reprimand the governor of Yin, it will be difficult for the Bai family to make a comeback, and then the business between Big Brother Su and Bai Susu will be ruined."

Han Xizai thought for a while, and secretly smiled in his heart. He didn't intend to help Su Chen, because he also wanted to see that Su Chen didn't have any other skills besides writing poems and being good at medicine.

Now that Han Xizai is over sixty years old, his ambitions are not as good as before. He also feels that the Tang State in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as the Song State in the north in terms of national strength, talents, soldiers, and fighting spirit. Lord, there are like clouds of brave and skilled generals under his command. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, there are not many practical people. In the military, only Lin Renzhao is worthy of great use.

This Su Chen has always been good at hiding his clumsiness since we met each other, and he is unwilling to show his true abilities. This time, the Bai family's crisis, Han Xizai wants to take this opportunity to see if Su Chen has any practical ability to help Bai Susu tide over the difficulties. This is a test of his talents.

"Don't worry, I think that Su Chen is quite capable, let him torment himself first, if he can't get over this difficulty, then it's useless to value him as a father."

Han Yunpeng scolded: "Father, you are a bit disrespectful like this. He saved you at a critical moment, and you watch him have fun at a critical moment!"

"You son of a bitch, who are you talking about being dishonest, who are watching the fun!" Han Xizai picked up the things on the bed and threw them at them again.

Han Yunpeng ran away with his head in his arms, muttering: "It's not a big deal for those who watch the excitement!"

……

Furong Building, private room on the third floor.

Ding Yuexi, the patriarch of the Ding family, hosted a banquet for the patriarchs of the nine great families in Jiangzuo, Fan Rong, Du Qingyun, Yan Ji, and Murong Murong Zhao!

"I don't know why the Ding family invited us here today?" Murong Zhao had already heard the news that the Ding family had plotted against the Bai family, but he pretended not to know, and asked some knowingly.

Ding Yuexi smiled slightly and said: "The owners of the family are all about the same age as me, and their experience is comparable. Ding is here, and he doesn't beat around the bush to show off. My Ding family has mastered the two firing methods of white porcelain and celadon. Swallow the business of the Bai family, and in the future, the white porcelain and celadon will be produced and sold by the Ding family. At present, the gentry in the porcelain business have all agreed to sign a cooperation agreement with the Ding family, and abandoned the Bai family one after another."

Hearing the words, the other four patriarchs didn't have any unexpected changes in their faces. They had already analyzed it in their hearts, or heard about it. They were speculating, what did Ding Yuexi ask them to do today?

Patriarch Yan said indifferently: "Patriarch Ding, you didn't come here to show off, did you?"

Ding Yuexi shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, but I feel that the Bai family is one of the top merchant families in Jiangzuo after all. It is difficult for the Ding family alone to swallow them all, so we need allies."

Everyone's heart moved, and they guessed what he said.

Murong Zhao said indifferently: "Patriarch Ding, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Ding Yuexi didn't hold back anymore, and said truthfully: "The Bai family has a profound heritage. Although the ceramic industry is the pillar industry of the Bai family, it only accounts for half of the Bai family's profits. They still have half of their profits from restaurants, cloth, pawns, and rice. Warehouses, etc. are all involved, and even a lot of goods are provided by your families for business mutual assistance. Now the white porcelain provided by the Bai family to your families, my Ding family is willing to sell at a price that is [-]% lower than that of the Bai family. Several families stopped supplying the Bai family's restaurants, cloth shops, and other supplies, and even asked the family gentry who depended on you to stop supplying the Bai family, which completely paralyzed the Bai family's business."

"Then what good are we?"

Ding Yuexi smiled and said: "Once the Bai family collapses, those restaurants, cloth shops, etc. will not be able to continue to operate, and they will be sold at a low price. At that time, you can take them away, and everyone will divide the property of the Bai family together, and everyone will get something. Isn’t it a matter of everyone’s satisfaction, since one of the nine major families is missing, we will have more business resources in the future.”

The four Patriarchs glanced at each other and felt that it made sense. They had already had this idea in their hearts, and they were just waiting for this opportunity!
