Chapter 15 The Secret of Chu Zongguang
Chu Xiu's caravan was going to visit Yan State, but in fact they were only Qingyuan Town, a border town in Yan State.
Because Wei County was a small country bordering Yan State, Qingyuan Town was just a buffer zone for these two countries before. It was not until Yan State destroyed Wei State that Qingyuan Town was established here as a place for mutual trading between Yan State and Wei State.
Some specialties from Yan State can be bought here, and Chu Xiu and his caravans can also sell goods directly to merchants from Yan State here.
This trip to Chu Xiu's caravan was extremely smooth. It took only ten days to walk back and forth.
This time, many people's views on him were changed. This second young master did not seem to be as useless as before, especially those caravans, who respected Chu Xiu very much.
At this time, in a training room in the backyard of the Chu family, an old housekeeper with gray hair was reporting about Chu Zongguang about Chu Xiu.
This old housekeeper is named Chen. Although he is also the housekeeper of the Chu family, he is extremely low-key. He is only responsible for serving Chu Zongguang on weekdays. Although he does not have much real power, he is the oldest person in the Chu family.
Although Chu Zongguang was in seclusion every day, he seemed to be unwilling to care about family affairs, through Butler Chen, he would not hide the Chu family's big and small matters from him.
After hearing this, Chu Zongguang's eyes showed a look of surprise, but he snorted coldly: "This kid is too risky. If he does this, what if the bandit on the other side doesn't eat the soft and hard food, and would rather not have goods than kill him, what should he do?
Also, if the bandits were not strong enough to escort them out of Shangmiao Mountain, wouldn’t his money be wasted?”
Butler Chen said with a smile: "But the second young master is not lucky. The bandits who robbed him have only recently come to Shangmiao Mountain and have good strength. I heard that with the second young master's incident, the rules have been established in the place of Shangmiao Mountain.
Anyway, having rules is at least better than noting them. In the future, people from Wei County will save much more effort than before when entering and leaving Shangmiao Mountain."
After saying this, Butler Chen hesitated and said, "The head of the family, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Chu Zongguang said lightly: "Old Chen, you have followed me for decades, what else can you say?"
Butler Chen whispered: "Head of the family, our Chu family is already very strong now.
Although the eldest son is a little reckless, his martial arts talent is still pretty good, and careful teaching will be innately expected in the future.
Although the second young master was not good before, he has become good now after training in the Nanshan mining area. Although he is a bit radical and bold, his ability to do things is still quite strong.
Although the third young master's mind was a little gloomy, he was cautious enough in his work.
Although the fourth young master is young, he is very smart and will become a great person in the future when he is carefully cultivated.
Master, if you can give up studying that thing and teach the four young masters well, don’t let them continue to fight in the internal strife, my Chu family may be comparable to the Shen family.”
When he heard this, Chu Zongguang's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You have been with me for so many years. You should know how much price I have paid for it, and even left my hometown to come to Tongzhou Prefecture!
What is the Shen family? I figured out its usage. In the future, let alone a mere Tongzhou Prefecture, even Chu Zongguang, the entire Wei County, would not take it seriously!”
Butler Chen shook his head gently and sighed silently.
He was an old man from the Chu family. When he was young, Chu Zongguang was definitely a young talent. As a result, he went out to explore in his early years. After bringing back that thing, Chu Zongguang became crazy and moved his family to Tongzhou Prefecture. He ignored everything and only focused on studying that thing.
If Chu Zongguang could only focus on developing the Chu family, the scale of the Chu family would definitely be stronger now than it is now.
After looking at Butler Chen, Chu Zongguang whispered: "Old Chen, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know these things in my heart.
I am not dead yet, and my sons are all thinking about becoming the head of the family, and only Xiao Si can be more honest.
In the past, they all fought secretly, but now since they like fighting, I will let them do it openly, as long as they don’t cause trouble for me.
OK, Lao Chen, you go out and help me watch them, so don’t let them cause any major troubles.”
Chu Zongguang insisted on his own, but Butler Chen could shake his head and sigh and retreat.
At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know what Chu Zongguang, a cheap father, was thinking. He had lived a very good time during this period.
He followed the caravan and stopped caring. Anyway, the trade routes were already open, so he just waited to collect the money.
The caravan's income is normally divided into three parts, one is stored in the caravan, used to purchase the materials for the next business, one is handed over to the family, and one is kept by yourself.
Chu Xiu was in charge of the caravan and without hesitation, he divided the benefits that should have been given to the family to himself without hesitation.
The Chu family is the Chu family, and Chu Xiu is Chu Xiu. For him, the entire Chu family, and even the entire Tongzhou Prefecture, are just a springboard for him and a springboard for him to enter the world. Of course, Chu Xiu had to think about his own interests first.
During the period when the caravan was in business, Chu Xiu had been practicing swords and practicing internal skills in his courtyard. Even Gao Bei couldn't stand his desperate style.
Chu Xiu is not a masochist, but the future is unknown. There is a sense of urgency that forces him to improve his strength as soon as possible.
In the original plot, it was mentioned that the predecessor of his body was Tongzhou Prefecture, which only left after a family incident. He stepped into the world and experienced ups and downs, resulting in a major change in temperament.
As for what this family incident will happen and when will it happen, Chu Xiu didn't know at all.
So he could only find a way to use the resources of the Chu family to practice as soon as possible, and then leave the Chu family directly.
According to Chu Xiu's estimate, as long as his talent is not inferior to the point of being angry and resentful, when Chu Xiu becomes the heir of the head of the Chu family and obtains a lot of resources, he should be able to enter the innate world soon with innate skills.
Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. What Chu Xiu has to consider now is not the innate, but the blood coagulation realm.
The body tempering state is relatively simple, and it is used to simmer the muscles and bones of the body, because of some innate skills, and the Buqi Powder that Chu Xiu asked for from the pharmacy during this period and some elixirs he bought separately, these combined have greatly increased Chu Xiu's strength within a month.
If Chu Xiu now fights against the third brother of the bandit who killed him before, Chu Xiu doesn't need to dodge at all, and can slash the opponent with one knife by just relying on his strength.
The real difficulty is the blood coagulation realm. Now Chu Xiu has felt that he has reached the peak of the body tempering realm, but after taking several blood coagulation pills, he feels that his blood has not changed significantly. Obviously, it will take some more time to practice.
Chu Xiu lived a good life here, but some people did not live a good life, such as Chu Sheng, the third son of the Chu family.
Originally, the only one who was qualified to be his opponent in the Chu family was the boss Chu Kai, but now Chu Xiu has emerged as a new force, has enough prestige in the Chu family, and is in charge of the caravan. He can walk three or four times a month, and each time can bring huge benefits, which made Chu Sheng jealous.
The main thing is that these profits fell into Chu Xiu's hands, which made Chu Sheng feel a great threat.
After wandering around the house for several times, Chu Sheng frowned and said, "Mom, you can't continue like this. Chu Xiu's reputation in the family has been completely reversed, and the caravan's income has doubled in his hands. If you continue like this, I will definitely lose in a year! The caravan cannot continue to stay in Chu Xiu's hands!"
The second wife frowned and said, "Do you want this caravan? It's not that easy. The master will not give this caravan to you."
Chu Sheng's eyes showed a cold look and said, "Father won't give it to me, but what if the fourth brother wants him? Will he give it to the fourth brother?"
When Chu Sheng mentioned Chu's fourth son, Chu Sheng's eyes also showed jealousy.
The fourth son of the Chu family, the eldest son of Chu Kai, was favored a lot when he was a teenager. Later, Chu Zongguang went into seclusion for many years and ignored him, let alone Chu Xiu and Chu Sheng later.
Only Chu Shu, the youngest, is said to be very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was a child, so even now he is quite popular with Chu Zongguang, which is something that neither of them can compare with.
A glimmer appeared in the second lady's eyes and said, "This is not impossible, I'll try it."
