Chen Xian asked his uncle to help sell the pigs, and started running the pigs around the pig farm.
Those people were fairly honest; they knew that Chen Xian was no ordinary person now, but a proper ninth-rank official appointed by the imperial court.
They dared not push the price down too much.
Ultimately, the pork was purchased at the current market price, a low price of one wen, which is nineteen wen per jin.
When it was time to sell, the owners of those pig farms were also trying to persuade me to sell.
"Mr. Chen, just wait a little longer. Pork prices are rising, and you'll lose a lot of money if you sell now."
The vendors on the food street were somewhat impressed by Chen Xian's grand gesture.
"I wonder what kind of ruthless villain they've offended. This has cut off the Chen family's source of income. Someone is slandering the Chen family's food as unclean. Is the Chen family planning to lay low for a while?"
"If you ask me, Mr. Chen doesn't need to be so tough at all!"
After a while, nobody will remember this!
...
Rainforest Study, Study Room.
The young man was dressed in fine clothes, while Uncle Fu sat quietly.
Uncle Fu: "Have you done the things I asked you to do properly?"
The young man said in a cool, indifferent voice, "Manager Fu, please call me Mei Liulang!"
"You brat, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Dad, if nothing unexpected happens, Gu Er will probably have to find a way to steal the house deeds from home and open a few branch stores."
There's no other reason than that business in Yingzhou Prefecture is too good; ordinary people simply can't keep up!
Ah, faced with temptation!
Uncle Fu chuckled and nodded.
"That's good!"
"Getting the property deed isn't that interesting. It would be much more interesting if we could take over the Gu Family South Street branch!"
Fu Ping'an grinned.
"Dad, you have quite an appetite!"
The South Street Cloth Shop is the foundation of the Gu family. It was built up by the hard work of several generations and has a good reputation in the county. You just ripped a piece of their flesh off in one fell swoop!
Remember, it's not just about mortgaging his shop; the fabric in his warehouse also needs to be pledged. Just taking an empty shell of a fabric store isn't enough!
"It's not a big deal, but his family courted disaster by messing with people they shouldn't have. Why didn't they just stick to selling their own fabrics?"
Fu Ping'an asked with some confusion, "Father, I don't understand. Why would you rather spend your own money than let me trick Gu Er into finding a way to steal money?"
"What is it about this person that makes you so open to them, even more so than your own family business?"
Uncle Fu said calmly, "You have no idea how cunning and ruthless the Chen family members are."
Do you know Ma Jinping? He's all-powerful in the food street. The Chen family is doing their business properly, but this guy is courting disaster.
They can drag Lu, the county magistrate, into this mess and kill him without hesitation.
Does the walled forum know about this?
Does Xuan Nan Academy know about this?
Without relying on connections with the county magistrate, he righteously found a way to gather evidence against the merchants!
"It was just a mediocre hand of cards, but they played a royal flush!"
Fu Pingan continued, "I heard about this when I came back from outside, but what does it have to do with our family? We can just sell his books properly."
There's no need to go to great lengths to help him.
Father, do you know that in Yingzhou Prefecture alone, the daily cost of buying silk and brocade from the Gu family is as high as thirty or forty taels of silver, not to mention the food, drink and other necessities of hiring people!
Not just for a day or two!
And you asked me to buy a branch of the Mei family identity; the six hundred taels the Chen family gave me are simply not enough to cover my expenses!
Right now, you've asked me to persuade Gu Er again, which will take some time. My food and drink also need to be in line with the status of a wealthy family, and it's all about money, money, money, money!
Our family lost money!
Uncle Fu shook his head and smiled.
"Still too young!"
"Look further ahead, you silly son!"
"Chen Xian will become famous in Yingzhou Prefecture sooner or later. Just based on his talent for writing storybooks, it's only because our Rainforest Bookstore has limited channels for selling books that he can publish directly in the capital and become famous throughout the world!"
The future belongs to one big family!
To put it another way, this person is deep and complex, with a touch of cunning and a hint of coldness.
People will always remember those who offer help in times of need!
Once this person has weathered the crisis and risen in status, what's the point of trying to build a relationship with them if it's just a fleeting, superficial acquaintance?
Even eating shit can't keep up with the demand.
Such people, who fail to win people's hearts during their low points and downfalls, will never have the chance to be remembered.
And, you silly son, our family business belongs to the Su family. Did you know that Young Master Wenxuan and Young Master Wenhao's teachers are teaching in Qingxia Village?
Fu Ping'an was so engrossed in his father's words that he didn't react for a long time.
I never expected my father to have such a high opinion of this person.
"Did you know that Chen Xian entrusted all the children of Qingxia Village to Mr. Zhou?"
Fu Ping'an muttered, "What does 'all the children of Qingxia Village' mean?"
Holy crap!
Fu Pingan stood up abruptly.
Uncle Fu chuckled and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Mr. Zhou's teaching ability is there. Five of his students have passed the imperial examinations. I don't believe that none of the dozens of children in Qingxia Village will amount to anything."
In the coming decades, Qingxia Village will surely become famous throughout the world!
We are on good terms with the Chen family. The Chen family has an excellent reputation in the village; I know that from my experience.
If these village children, or even the young master, are fortunate enough to enter the imperial court in the future, they will all be fellow villagers, able to help each other!
"Brother Chen, you have a far-sighted vision."
Fu Ping An remained in a state of bewilderment for a long time.
"Father, I'm more concerned about why Mr. Zhou was able to stay in Qingxia Village. What kind of person is Mr. Zhou? He said he wanted to travel the world after he got tired of teaching, so why didn't he even leave the county?"
It's hilarious to say.
The world is so big, and we haven't even left the county town yet, still wandering around the village!
