son-in-law

Chapter 62
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Su Yu did not go home, but went directly to Beishi.

On the way, Xiao Huan cried and laughed for a while, and kept worrying about my uncle, for fear that this matter would have a bad result and hurt my uncle.Su Yu only said that there is no need to worry. Tang Zhen was educated in power tactics since he was a child. That kind of person is the most calm and will not be easily affected by emotions.Even if Tang Zhong ran up to him and cried and made noises, he might not be able to influence Tang Zhen.At most, he just came to the Princess's Mansion to put on a show and reprimand him, and that's all for saving face for the elders of the Tang family. There is no need to worry about other consequences at all.

Enter Beishi Fangmen, walk along the main street, glance east when passing the second alley, and indeed see a small shop in the depths of the alley. There is a vertical signboard at the door with the words "Water Pot Mutton" written on it.

Su Yu asked Xiao Huan to order food in that shop, and after she was done, she would do the work in the shop and deliver the food to Kong's warehouse.

After Xiao Huan left, Su Yu went directly to Kong Shuo, came to the warehouse, and saw a mountain of chain mail.

I ordered someone to take down one piece, and looked inside and out, and I felt that the workmanship was not bad.

Kong Shuo said that the supervisor who made the chain mail used to be a supervisor in the army, so the ten thousand sets of chain mail will definitely not cause problems.

Su Yu said: "As long as the quality is excellent, you don't have to worry about the follow-up matters.

Everyone knows that Tang Corporation is short of money, but to what extent, you may still not understand.

The number one problem facing Tang Zhen now is the food problem for the 15 Shence Army.Followed by military pay, casualty pensions, ordnance supplement.I have heard that they do not even have enough food for a month, and in this case, all other expenses are at a standstill.Tang Zhen was under a lot of pressure.

Now Tang Corps still has to keep an eye on the movements of several countries in the northwest.It is said that several countries there are at war again.If the Huns win the final victory, they will definitely go to the Hexi Corridor to make trouble again.At that time, the Tang family will fight again.Tang's military supplies are in short supply, especially armor, which is necessary for city defense.

I heard from my father that if you have armor and defend a high city, you can defend [-] to [-]; without armor, you may not be able to defend [-] to [-]. "

Kong Shuo frowned: "Is the county magistrate sure to get money from Tang Zhen?"

Su Yu smiled: "What are you afraid of? If he doesn't give you money, you don't have to share the income from your warehouse with me in the future. If you pay the bill, you won't lose money."

Kong Shuo nodded with a smile.

Su Yu asked: "How much is the minimum shipping price for these [-] sets of armor?"

Kong Shuo rubbed his chin: "If it is sold to a male Jia, we will ask for one billion."

"Oh?"

"Men Jia are poor."

"What if it is sold to Nan Jin?"

"25 million."

"That much difference?"

Kong Shuo smiled: "Men Jia people always give money quickly when doing business, and they pay money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. But when doing business with people from the Southern Jin Dynasty, there is almost no time to give money quickly. At the beginning, I will give you half at most, and the rest Go slowly for the next half. If you want what you want, you may not come out. It’s not that the people we trade with are not particular, but their bureaucrats are too powerful. half the money."

Su Yu smiled.

Kong Shuo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master Jun, I want to open a bank, a pawnshop, an oil mill, and also want to invest in Luodong Wharf. What do you think?"

Su Yu thought for a while: "Others are fine, except for the bank. Once the bank opens, Tang Zhen will ask you to borrow money. He asks, do you dare not borrow it? But as long as you lend him the money, it won't take three months , all your money has to be borrowed by Tang Zhen. So not only can you not start a bank, but you should also spend your money as soon as possible, and exchange it for real estate or goods. Let Tang Zhen know that you have no cash in hand. "

Kong Shuo nodded: "Okay then, just listen to the county magistrate."

Kong Shuo invited Su Yu to Zuixianlou, Su Yu waved his hand and said that he was tired of eating, and asked Xiao Huan to order.

Not long after, Xiao Huan came to Kong’s Cang with the clerk from the water basin mutton shop. Su Yu and Kong Shuo got up and said goodbye after a brief meal. , I’m marrying a regular wife, and when the time comes, you prepare a generous gift, and I will lead you into the auditorium.”

"Master Xie. From then on, we can follow the master and join the upper class."

Su Yu left, muttering in his heart: "Where is Shangliu?"

On the way back, seeing Xiao Huan pouted again.

Su Yu asked: "Why are you unhappy?"

Xiao Huan said angrily: "I don't know what happened recently, but I encountered bad luck."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Forget it, don't talk to my uncle. Don't make my uncle angry."

Xiao Huan didn't say anything, Su Yu could guess that Tan Qin'er probably felt revenge when she saw Xiao Huan.

That little girl Tan Qin'er has a character of revenge.

Xiao Huan was angry, but what happened to the Duke's mansion just now, the maid didn't want to ask the uncle to make decisions for him.No matter how Su Yu asked her, she would not say anything.

At this time there were still seven or eight thugs from Kongjiacang following him, and it was not convenient for Su Yu to ask further questions, so he stopped asking.

However, after entering Qinghuafang, I heard Xiao Huan leaking air from her mouth, which roughly meant something like "Tan Qin'er said that Xiao Huan was ugly and dressed poorly, she looked like a maid at first glance, and she didn't look like a lady no matter how she dressed."

Su Yu smirked in his heart, thinking, if that girl Tan Qin'er only made insulting remarks, she would have restrained herself very much.

-

Back at Qinghuafang, it was already evening, Su Yu still didn't go home, but came to Dongdacang.

Previously, Su Yu asked the five little maids to go to the ear room to listen to affairs, but for some reason, Tang Ling'er stopped her and changed the original day shift to the night shift in Dacang.

Dacang is guarded by workers and Wu Da Tsing Yi every night. In this case, two little maids are allowed to stay here. Everyone thinks it is unnecessary.

Judging from Tang Linger's arrangement, it was more like a punishment for the little maids.

"Uncle, please don't let us go to the ear room in the future. If you go a few more times, maybe the lady will let us live in Dacang." Tang Xiaofei said with a pout.

Su Yu smiled and said: "From now on, the night guard maids can go to my place to get the money, and each will get ten dollars to go to the canteen to buy a meal."

Tang Xiaofei smiled and said, "Can this rule start today?"

Su Yu took out twenty coins, ten for Tang Xiaofei and ten for Feng Yu.

The two little maids happily went to the dining hall.

Afterwards, Su Yu took Xiao Huan to Li's warehouse opposite Dacang.

Give Xiao Huan some money and ask her to take Feng Yu's mother out for a stroll, and then Su Yu and Li Xun sit down and drink alone.

Su Yu said: "This time someone really wants to assassinate me."

Li Xun stared: "Who?"

"do not know."

"What does it look like?"

"About seven feet three inches tall, thin and fit, masked, with slender eyes. Three fingers are missing on his right hand."

"I'll let the brothers investigate."

"Don't act rashly." Su Yu waved his hand: "It's meaningless to look for a killer. If you want to look for it, you have to look for the mastermind behind it. I was thinking, who did I offend after I came to the Tang family? And I offended so deeply. After thinking about it, I feel that it was not that I offended anyone on my own initiative, it was more likely that my arrival robbed other people's interests. The reason for killing me may be because of the word 'wealth'."

Li Xun thought for a while and said: "There are some smashes in the east and west mansions, and they usually do some things for the family owners. I boldly guess that these things may have something to do with them."

"Oh? Who are these people?"

"The west mansion is headed by the twelve sons Tang Dian, and the east mansion is headed by the seventeenth son Tang Yan."

"Tang Yan?"
