The nine masters in Qing Dynasty coddle side Fujin

Chapter 191 The Qiao Family
"Well, our Jinling is famous for weaving. This Qiao family is a big manufacturer in Jinling. Their fabrics are all tribute to the emperor."

The waiter clicked his tongue. Although the Cao family has the title of Jiangning weaving, it is not half as good as the Qiao family.

Although the Cao family is rich, the richest family in Jinling belongs to the Qiao family.

And the reason why the Qiao family has become a big family in Jinling is due to Qiao Chufeng, the eldest daughter of his family.

This Ms. Qiao is a legendary figure in Jinling. She learned embroidery and Kesi from her mother and grandmother since she was a child.

Ten years ago, he was already a teacher, and he was able to complete an embroidery work by himself.

Even at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he supported the Qiao family.

The Qiao family has been developed from a dilapidated one with only the old, weak, sick and disabled to the number one in Jinling.But it all depends on Miss Qiao!
"Oh, isn't the He family paying tribute?"

Fourteenth Master raised his eyebrows slightly.

A few years ago, when Emperor Kangxi came to the south of the Yangtze River, the He family still paid tribute to the fabrics?How did it become Qiao's family in a few years?

"Yo, I don't know after seeing this master. Now the He family has long since fallen, so where can I get a good piece of fabric?"

Xiaoer smiled and hurriedly continued.

"The Qiao family comes up with new tricks every year. If the palace likes them, they will naturally make money."

"Then what is the Qiao family going to do with these weaving households?"

Fourth Master frowned. If it was true as what Xiaoer said, the Qiao family was dominant in Jinling, then it would very likely threaten the court's establishment.

"It seems to be going to beg for money."

Xiao Er curled her lips, a little surprised?Every three or two days, the Qiao family will organize these weaver households to go to the Yamen to ask for money.

But as for the twists and turns inside, Xiaoer is not too clear.

"If you want money, who do you want?"

Eighth Master was also puzzled.

"Of course Jiang Ning weaves the Cao family."

Xiao'er first looked around for a week, seeing that they were the only people around the table, so he whispered.

After all, the Cao family is an official family and is very trusted by the emperor, ordinary people like them dare not make unreasonable remarks.

The reason Xiao Er told Ba Ye was all because of his gossiping heart.

"The villain heard that Mr. Cao buys a large amount of fabrics from these weavers every year, but drags the money from these weavers without settlement.

These weaving households are all retail investors, and they only rely on a small amount of money every year to survive. Now, with such a deduction from the Cao family, they can't get enough to eat, so the Qiao family will find someone to organize them and go to the Cao family to ask for money. . "

It's also because Master Jiu put a lot of money on the table, this little Er really knows everything, and he can't stop talking, anyway, is it true or not?Master Jiu and the others took care of everything.

"Nonsense, the Cao family is an official, how can they default on the money of these retail investors?"

Fourth master slammed the table, which shocked the little boy.

"Hey, my lord, the villain is just telling you the rumors outside. If you believe it or not, just listen to it as a joke."

The little second-hand quickly picked up the silver that Jiuye put on the table into his arms, left behind a word.

"Cao Yin wouldn't really do such a thing, would he? You must know that the money handed down by the court every year is not a small amount, which is completely enough for these weavers."

The Fourteenth Master is interested, he is the kind of master who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

It is really boring to stay in Jinling now, but now that I hear this, I am naturally interested.

"Fourteenth brother, don't make a fool of yourself. This Cao family is not someone else, and Cao Yin is deeply trusted by Huang Ama."

Ninth Master hurriedly bumped Fourteenth Master's arm.

If he remembered correctly, the Cao family had indeed embezzled Lianghuai Salt Department Bank and Weaving Bank Bank in the previous life.

However, the corruption of the Cao family is justifiable. His dear Huang Ama, every time he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, he must live in the Cao family. Even if the Cao family has mountains of gold and silver.That's not enough either.

The Cao family usually welcomes and sends them off, and they spend a lot of money on entertainment and gifts, and then prepare to pick them up. Therefore, the Cao family can only play Ku Yin's idea, and use the money to properly handle the pick-up. Yes, after such a long time, the financial situation of the Cao family has long been unable to make ends meet.

There has been a deficit for a long time, so the money of these weavers can only be deducted.

Lord Jiu still remembered that it was Gali, Governor of Liangjiang, who impeached the Cao family.

At that time, Gali not only impeached Cao Yin, but also impeached Cao Yin's brother-in-law Suzhou weaving Li Xu.

However, out of his friendship with Cao Yin, Lord Kangxi did not publicly treat the Cao family, but privately asked Cao Yin to fill the hole.

So Master Jiu didn't plan to ask Master Fourteen to intervene in this matter.

Although they have good intentions, if Huang Ama is angered, the loss outweighs the gain.

"My younger brother didn't say anything. Look, my brothers are nervous."

The Fourteenth Master curled his lips, he was just talking, anyway, Huang Ama didn't care about this matter, why are these princes in a hurry?
"It's getting late, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Fourth master had a cold face. He also happened to meet Jiu Ye and the others, so they came to the restaurant to sit together. Now that these terrible things are mentioned, fourth master naturally doesn't want to listen.

He got up and left, leaving Master Jiu and the others staring at each other.

"Fourth brother is so cold!"

The tenth master shrank his neck, and felt sorry for the fourteenth master. These two brothers are brothers, and I don't know how the fourteenth master could bear the cold face of the fourth master since he was a child.

"Watch what I do?"

Being watched by the tenth master, the fourteenth master immediately frowned.

"nothing!"

Master Ten shook his head.

As for the fourth master who left the restaurant, he originally planned to go back to the palace.

Or maybe because he just heard Xiao Er's words in the restaurant, fourth master was a little absent-minded at this moment.

"Hey hey!"

"You don't have eyes!"

Fourth Master frowned and looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman is dressed in brocade clothes, her hair is coiled up, two or three hairpins are inserted, and two strands of hair hang around her shoulders.This outfit looks like a girl who has not left the cabinet.

"Feel sorry!"

Since he accidentally bumped into someone else, fourth master politely apologized.

But the other party obviously didn't buy it.

"What are you dragging? You just have this attitude when you bump into someone. Didn't your parents teach you how to apologize?"

Qiao Chufeng was also unlucky enough, today she was pursued by her cousin to propose a marriage, and now she managed to escape, and met another dead face.

If I knew it earlier, I should have gone to pray to Buddha. Don't call her so unlucky during this time.

"I said I'm sorry!"

Fourth Master frowned, and said word by word.

Thinking that he has grown up so big, he hasn't been pointed at by a woman and told him that he has no rules.

The one in front of me was the first one.

"When you apologize to someone, you should be humble."

Qiao Chufeng was already irritable in his heart, and naturally he would not let the fourth master catch him.

"Look, look, you're still gnashing your teeth at me, obviously you hit me."

Seeing Fourth Master's cold face, Qiao Chufeng's heart felt a little twitchy for a while, but if you don't lose, you have to save face.
