Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 1065 Spread it out



Chapter 1065 Spread it out

I won’t talk about eating.

We all go out and visit other people on a daily basis, and if we don’t dress properly we will be laughed at.

As for Zhou Guo, she would not wear fabrics that were of slightly inferior quality. Not only the outer garments had to be of good quality, but even the inner garments had to be of the best quality.

Every piece of cloth is made with extreme care, and a set of clothes is sometimes more expensive than that of an entire family.

Zhou Guo said, "We have to pay if we want to take it. Otherwise, if this person takes a few horses and that person takes a few horses, how can this shop make money?"

After visiting this shop once, a few people changed their position and went to another shop, a tea shop.

Except for those that could not be taken away, we took away everything that could be taken away.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking happily inside, he couldn't get enough of it.

Zhou Guo laughed, "Master, when you drink tea in the future, you will have all kinds of tea. You can have whatever you want to drink."

The old man nodded, "I'll give money too, it's not for nothing."

Zhou Guo laughed.

The old man should have saved a lot of money now. In addition to the annual dividends from the escort agency, this year he also has the income from Nanhe Manor, which he can never spend all by himself.

She often buys wine and some of her favorite food, and gives red envelopes to the younger generations during festivals. It doesn't cost much, so she doesn't worry that he has no money to spend.

Thinking about the dividend he was given every year and the current structure of the escort agency, he wondered whether he should give a share to the Xu family as well?

If each of the three brothers of the Xu family gets 10%...

Not that many.

It’s better to give it to General Xu, to my adoptive father, that’s the best.

Otherwise, each of the brothers would give half, the godfather would give 10%, and the rest would be given to the Xu family.

If the escort agency expands in the future and makes more money, it will inevitably attract attention. If the Xu family can join in, there will be a lot less trouble in the future.

I just wonder if they will think it’s too little?

She discussed it with the old man in the evening.

The old man said, "Why are you asking me about this? I am not the boss. You built this escort agency. Now I have taken 10%, and the old men like Mo Da and Mo Er have taken 10%. You still have 80%. If you give away 25%, you will only have 55% left."

He felt that it was a bit too little. This 55% did not belong to her alone, but to the Zhou family, which was divided among the three branches of the Zhou family.

"After a hundred years of my life, this share in my hand will definitely be yours. When the family is divided in the future, I don't know how much of it you will still have."

It's impossible for us to stay together like this forever.

After all, the Zhou family changes every year, and the interests within it are getting bigger and bigger. There will always be a day when the family will split up.

Zhou Guo said, "It's okay. It won't happen so quickly. Our family has only been established for a few years. If we divide the family now, wouldn't we be digging our own graves? Of course, assets must be placed in one place so that they can grow bigger and bigger, just like the Wang family. If they are divided, what good will it be for each of us to hold a few small things in our hands?"

The old man had always been from a poor family and had no idea how rich families lived. He knew nothing about these things. Seeing that Zhou Guo knew everything, he felt relieved.

Zhou Guo continued, "Besides, my uncle is the third wife, and he hasn't married yet. He is alone. Even if we want to divide the family, it depends on his attitude."

She did not expect the Zhou family to become a large family like the Wang family, and she could not take care of the affairs of the Zhou family's descendants. But she hoped that while she was still alive and in charge of the household, the Zhou family could unite as one, work together, and keep the family property together, so that the Zhou family would get better and better.

The old man laughed, "Your uncle? I don't know when he will get married. I don't know if there are any young ladies willing to marry him."

Zhou Guo was not convinced, "How could there not be one? My uncle is a handsome man with strong abilities and a kind heart. He started out as a private in the army and in just a few years he became a general in charge of a large army. He is so powerful, how could he be better than those weak and fragile pretty boys who can't even lift a machete and talk about their books all day long?"

It's also thoughtful. Their family doesn't have the rule of taking concubines.

Wu Ya has been married to Zhou Gu for so many years, but she only gave birth to a daughter, Xiaohua, and she doesn’t even have a concubine, right?

The old man said, "Okay, okay, your uncle is very capable, very capable, he won't have trouble finding a wife.

......

As soon as the two shops were replaced, everyone in the north knew about it.

The silk and satin shop didn't know, but many people knew that the tea shop was the Wang family's business. Zhou Guo went to the shop every day for several days in a row.

When everyone saw the new owner, some of them came up to ask curiously, "Hey, young man, where is the original tea shop?"

Zhou Guo said, "It has been moved. I bought it from their boss. I will still sell tea in the future. If you want to drink it, come back."

Within two days, everyone knew about it, and the Wang family apologized to Zhou Guo by giving him the two best shops.

After some private inquiries, I learned that the farm and pasture in Yunzhou were also lost.

Now, everyone was amazed at how powerful Zhou Guo was, being able to get so many things from the Wang family!

But I also feel puzzled. Such important things were stolen by the Wang family, but they just lost a few shops, a farm and a pasture and ignored it?

When did Zhou Guo become so easy to talk to?

There were also those who didn't know the news and were still confused. Only then did they realize that the Wang family was behind the leak of the fertilizer recipe.

Someone who was alert felt something was wrong and went to Zhou Guo's house. "Sir, the Wang family manipulated you like this, and you just let them pay such a small amount? The Wang family has a lot of good things, and these can't shake them at all. You can ask for more."

Zhou Guo looked at Mr. Wu who was talking to him. "Mr. Wu, what are you doing here today? Just to gossip?"

Master Wu smiled and said, "It's just curiosity. Your fertilizer was stolen. Everyone in the North knows about it. They are just waiting to see how you will deal with them."

Zhou Guo said: "What can I do? I am a commoner, how can I do anything to others? I can only go to their house and cry about my poverty, and then they can't bear it and give me some things."

"You are not a commoner. Who in the North doesn't know that you are General Xu's daughter? We have been dealing with each other for so many years, why are you still so distant?"

Seeing that Zhou Guo didn't say anything, he continued, "You sent those traitors in your family to the border. You must have informed the border. Do you know what the situation is like for General Xu in the south?"

Zhou Guo raised his eyes and looked at him, "Did you hear something?"

Master Wu hesitated for a long time, but finally said, "I heard that your father was defeated on the front line and his life or death is unknown. Is this true?"

Zhou Guo said, "I haven't heard of it. Who told you this? If my father really had such a big accident in the front, how could I sit here peacefully? Don't believe such nonsense. It was spread by people with ulterior motives to cause chaos in the North. Their purpose is to make the North unstable so that others can take advantage of it."
