One morning, it rained.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Yun Chu practiced martial arts, but he broke out in a thin sweat.
As soon as he put away the dagger and entered the house, he saw the little guy pouting unhappily: "My mother didn't call me when she was practicing martial arts. I'm angry."
"Didn't Mom say that you can practice martial arts early when your body is well up?" Yun Chu squeezed his arm, "Build up more meat, so you can be able to hold a sword, you know?"
"snort!"
The little guy held his chest with his hands, his cheeks bulging, and deliberately ignored Yun Chu.
Yunchu helped him get dressed, but he ran to Tingxue, asked Tingxue to help him get dressed, picked up his book, went out, and ran to the other side of the doorway.
"This kid..."
Yun Chu shook his head and sighed.
She was wondering if it was because she wanted to make up for her child so much that she almost doted on her, which was actually not a good thing?
Brother Yu is the prince of the royal family. Unless anything unexpected happens, he will be the master of Luochuan, the fief of King Pingxi in the future.
The Lord of a Land has indeed worked harder than ordinary people since childhood.
Wait till five years old.
Yun Chu thought that when Brother Yu turns five years old, he will let the child grow up.
The sky gradually became brighter and the rain gradually stopped.
Yun Chu woke up Chang Sheng and had breakfast with his youngest daughter.
After the meal, Chang Sheng rolled out the drawing paper by himself as usual and started painting seriously.
Yunchu also started a busy day.
While he was dealing with trivial matters, around midnight, all the women from the Yun family's branches came.
The first is to congratulate Yunchu on being awarded the fifth rank of Yiren.
The second is to report the accounts of the stores under their respective management.
Yunchu asked the maid to serve tea and asked everyone to talk one by one.
"The harvests of the two farms I'm responsible for this year are very good." The seventh sister-in-law on the side of the branch flipped through the account books and said, "One farm received one thousand three hundred taels, and the other farm received slightly less, eight hundred taels. I flipped through the account books. , the low income is mainly due to the fact that cattle and tools were stolen in July, and some of the fields were trampled, and I spent a lot of money to buy cattle and farm tools..."
Yun Chu nodded. This seventh sister-in-law had indeed put a lot of effort into checking the accounts. The two farms, whose harvests were not high, took it so seriously. It would be of great use in the future.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also reported their accounts.
"It's a bit more complicated here. Our Yun family's cloth shop and tea shop are big industries. I've hardly slept these days and have gone through all the accounts." Fourth Aunt Yun said with a smile, "On the cloth shop, The monthly profit is close to one thousand taels of silver, and the tea house is even more incredible, making three thousand taels of silver in one month."
When she looked at the account book, she was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, the annual income from Buzhuang and Tea House alone could reach more than 50,000 taels of silver.
Counting other industries, the Yun family has an income of at least 80,000 taels of silver a year.
In the past, she stayed away from these things and secretly wondered how much the Yun family's property was every day. Now that the account book was in her hands, her heart suddenly became hot.
She said: "Yesterday, I heard someone say that the south is rich in a very soft fabric that we don't have in the capital. I was thinking whether I should arrange for someone to go to the south to purchase a large amount of goods. Then the cloth shop will be able to earn at least this much."
She held out two fingers.
Sister-in-law Yun asked tentatively: "Two thousand taels?"
Fourth Aunt Yun shook her head: "If there were only two thousand taels, I wouldn't mention it. It's twenty thousand taels! As long as you arrange for someone to go to buy goods, you can make 20,000 taels in a month. This is a big profit that you can't lose. Business! Chu'er, hurry up and give me some money from the public account, and I'll make Buzhuang make a lot of money!"
Yun Chu took a sip of tea with a calm expression: "How much?"
"Ten thousand taels is enough." Fourth Aunt Yun grinned, "When the time comes, I will pay you back thirty thousand taels with interest."
She asked people to inquire carefully and found out that the fabric was extremely rare. A product worth a hundred taels of silver could be sold for at least 500 taels when shipped to the capital.
In other words, if she asked Yunchu for 10,000 taels of silver, it would eventually turn into 50,000 taels. She would return 30,000 taels to the public account, and she would still be left with 20,000 taels.
Yun Chu put the tea cup on the table: "Fourth Aunt doesn't think that the current Yun family can easily come up with ten thousand taels of silver, right?"
Fourth Aunt Yun asked, "Why not?"
The annual harvest alone was 80,000 taels. After so many years, she didn't dare to think about how much money was in the Yun family's public accounts.
She only wants 10,000 taels, is that too much?
Yun Chu shook his head: "For such a big family, how much does it cost for a day? The fourth aunt can calculate it in her mind. Another thing is that at the end of the year, the Yun family's annual ancestor worship is about to begin. , even though something happened to the Yun family, we can't treat our ancestors badly. The cost of ancestor worship every year is more than five thousand taels of silver. What if we give the silver to our fourth aunt to worship our ancestors?"
For a Zhongding family like theirs, ancestor worship is the most grand event of the year, and clan members from far away have to participate.
Five thousand taels of silver are spent without any sound.
Fourth Aunt Yun was in disbelief: "I don't believe this is the only money left in the Yun family's account!"
"boom."
Yunchu's tea lid knocked against the tea cup, making a sound.
Her expression immediately turned cold: "Aunt Fourth, do you mean that I have embezzled money from the Yun family?"
Fourth Aunt Yun opened her lips but said nothing.
In her opinion, Yun Chu's daughter, who had been married and then divorced, was not worthy of taking care of the Yun family's property.
As an elder, she actually bowed her head in the hands of a niece. She couldn't bear to think about it.
"It seems that the fourth aunt doesn't believe me or accept me. In that case-" Yun Chu said, "Then let's find someone else to take care of the tea house and cloth shop."
All the women in the hall were startled.
They didn't expect that the fourth aunt and Yun Chu would fall out.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chu would fall out when he said he wanted to, and change people when he wanted to.
Fourth Aunt Yun could not hide her shock, which soon turned into anger.
She looked coldly at the other women sitting in the hall. Anyone who dared to take over these two properties would be against her.
Her father-in-law is the biological brother of General Yun, so their family is the closest side branch to the main branch.
The most important point is that Yun Silin's whereabouts are unknown, so the only man left in this generation of the Yun family is her husband Yun Siyuan.
As the only male elder, he naturally has a certain say in the Yun family.
Her eyes glanced over, and the others lowered their heads, either drinking tea or looking outside.
Yun Chu looked around at everyone: "Is there anyone who would like to recommend themselves?"
No one spoke below.
Fourth Aunt Yun smiled.
Only she can take over these two industries.
She wanted Yun Chu to know that a junior could never ride on the head of an elder.
Just when she thought Yun Chu would bow his head, a woman stood up: "Miss, do you think I can give it a try?"
Yun Chu looked around and saw that this woman was the mother of Yun Qin's cousin, whom they had divorced.
This branch of Yunqin's family is considered a distant branch. Yunqin's grandfather and her grandfather are cousins from common people, and Yunqin's father is a commoner, so the relationship becomes more and more distant. Therefore, Yunqin My mother-in-law didn’t even dare to call her Chu’er, so she always called her eldest lady.
