Chapter 14 Some people are happy and some are sad
Li Zhuoyuan and others were all incredible. Li Zhuoyuan instinctively wanted to protest. He didn't know what he thought of, but then shut his mouth and remained silent.
The girl Shaodong in the textile industry has a long history!
In this industry, because the weaver is mainly women, women become the main force in the industry. The daughters of those big families have the opportunity to participate in family management. Those with outstanding qualifications will stand out from their brothers and take charge of family business.
The famous Guo Zhinu in history was the Guo family’s Shaodong before she got married, and even her three brothers listened to her; the old lady Li was also the Guo family’s Shaodong before she got married, and there were also the Yan family of Huizhou textile family, and many young girls had also appeared.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Hanyao became the Li family’s Shaodong. What’s strange is that he was the girl Shaodong at the age of five, and Dajing was the first!
Even if Li Hanyao's qualifications are of great success, she has no contribution or skill at the moment. How can she be the young master of the Li family?
Li Zhuoyuan wanted to stop Li Zhuohang, but then shut up because he thought: Li Zhuohang only has this daughter, and Li Hanyao has no brothers and sisters. No matter what his qualifications are, he will be the young Dong of the Li family in the future. Why should he talk too much and be a villain to make Li Zhuohang unhappy? Anyway, he can't change the result. It's better to wait five or six years. Five or six years later, Li Hanyao will start discussing marriages, and then see how Li Zhuohang arranges it. He will never give all the family business to his daughter as a dowry? I don't have the courage, otherwise how can he go downstairs to meet his ancestors in a hundred years?
When the others saw that Li Zhuoyuan didn't say anything, they had no courage to stand up.
Li Zhuohang seemed not to care about their reaction, and then announced that Li Zhuoer was promoted to the shopkeeper and would be sent to Jingtai Prefecture, Huzhou to manage the second largest workshop of the Li family; Li Zhuoran would go with him to Huzhou and do some pen and ink errands by his side.
Li Zhuoer was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard it wrongly, but everyone looked at him, and the surprise in his eyes was stronger than that of himself. Only then did he realize that it was true, and he grinned before he could speak, so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
Another person who was overjoyed was Li Zhuoran.
Li Zhuoyuan was not nominated, ashamed and embarrassed, and his face turned red. He suppressed his anger and tried his best to do nothing. He first smiled and congratulated Li Zhuoer on his fist, and then asked Li Zhuohang: "Zoer was promoted, which is really enviable. But what great achievements have he made? Can you tell me? We are also willing to make progress."
Others would not be as good as him to hide it. The third master of the Li family nodded with a serious expression and said, "Yes, you must convince everyone if you promote it."
Li Zhuohang didn't say anything, and nodded to the Butler Mo who was sitting beside him. Butler Mo hurriedly opened the account books on the table and announced the profit and loss status of 18 shops in Huizhou, Huzhou and other places, as well as the increase and decrease of customers. These shops were managed by the Li clan.
As of the end of August, the Hecheng shop managed by Li Zhuoer had the best returns.
First, the dividend in just eight months has exceeded the profits of last year; secondly, the customer expansion has doubled, not only has many retail investors been established, but it has also won a good reputation in the local area. It also won a large number of cotton cloth overseas orders for the Li family. Because this order was sent from the general business, the dividends are on the general business and not on his account; if they are on his account, the income of Hecheng shops is more than this.
Li Zhuoyuan blurted out: "Is this really his credit?"
Li Zhuohangdao: "Of course. Otherwise, who belongs?"
Li Zhuoyuan wanted to speak but stopped, and was very confused: Li Zhuoer was as honest as a rock lump. Even Li Hanyao, a child of a few years old, could tease him. Can he have such benefits? It was clearly Li Zhuohang favoring him!
Why?
Because Li Zhuoer is easy to control!
Li Zhuoyuan was very confident in his ability, but Li Zhuohang was afraid of him and was unwilling to use him, so he secretly tampered with the help of honest people like Li Zhuoer, and acted as if he was entrusted according to his ability to block the tribe's mouth. However, he could not be picky, so he asked again: "What about Zhuoran?"
Li Zhuoran did not achieve anything.
Li Zhuohangdao: "Zhuoran is not a business material. I took him to Huzhou to help him and provide him with opportunities: first, he can study with peace of mind and not have to work hard for his livelihood; second, he can make friends with some literati students and broaden his horizons. If he can get a scholar, it will be his parents' wish." He only said that he hoped that Li Zhuoran would get a scholar, but did not say that he had a Jinshi because he knew it was impossible.
Li Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "The head of the family has worked hard, and it is easy to learn. Zhuoran will definitely not let down his brother's cultivation and will definitely be able to go high school in the future. At that time, my Li family will benefit from it, and there will be someone to protect the officialdom."
If you don't pay attention, you will never hear the sarcasm.
Because he didn't think so in his heart.
He thought of the question of the candidate for his heir.
He believes that Li Zhuohang intends to choose Li Tianhua as his heir, leaving Li Tianming aside. Li Tianhua is also a matter of equity, because Li Tianhua is only four years old this year, much younger than Li Tianming, and it will take more than ten years to take on the task. During this period, it would be better if Jiang could give birth to a son, and if he really couldn't, he would adopt him again.
Li Zhuoyuan's injustice is beyond words.
This injustice cannot be spoken of.
It is not up to him to choose who heir!
Li Zhuoran didn't think so. He felt that Li Zhuorhang valued his ambitions and spent money to cultivate him. He hoped that he would become a support for the Li family's future officialdom.
He couldn't help but be proud and full of energy.
Li Zhuohang saw Li Zhuoyuan's sarcasm and Li Zhuoran's excitement, with a calm expression and did not explain - he helped Li Zhuoran as a scholar, not for the sake of the Li family, otherwise it would be easier for him to get fame and fortune by himself.
He has always adhered to his tribe members' attitude of "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish", and arranged appointments based on their characteristics and abilities.
In addition to being able to read "Zhihu", Li Zhuoran knew nothing about business and asked him to do things in a shop, but he was just a waste of time. If he could take the exam for a scholar, take a job in a school, and add the scholar's monthly salary, his livelihood would be settled.
Li Zhuohang didn't want to care about him at first. He felt that he had been studying for so many years and could not even pass the exam for a scholar. Even if he was talented, it was not a material for the imperial examination. The imperial examination had established regulations and regulations, and some scholars with outstanding talents could not adapt to it. However, when he met his son Li Tianhua yesterday, he felt very smart and worried that a father would not be able to make a mistake in cultivating his children. - Li Tianhua's grandmother stole chicken legs for him to eat, and picked up snails to cook for him to eat, which showed that life was difficult. Li Zhuohang's heart was soft and he had a mouthful today. He was helping Li Zhuoran, but in fact, for Li Tianhua.
As for adopting Li Tianhua, he never thought about it.
Li Zhuohang asked: "What else do you have?"
Li Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "It's gone, it's very appropriate."
Everyone also said, "I'm asking if I don't."
Li Zhuohang waved: "Then let's break up."
After leaving the meeting hall, many tribe members congratulated Li Zhuoran and flattered him, as if he had already won a scholar. His son Li Tianhua had been adopted as his heir to Li Zhuorhang. He had gathered fame and wealth and great prospects!
The third and fourth old masters were chosen as the heir of Li Tianming, so he looked up to Li Zhuoyuan's house. Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown.
The third old man comforted Li Zhuoyuan and said, "This matter is not decided yet, there is still a chance tomorrow..."
Li Zhuoyuan hurriedly said: "It's best to make it."
The third old master looked at him in confusion.
Li Zhuoyuan said: "I can't bear to leave it tomorrow. Now that I'm fine, let Zhuoran adopt it. My son doesn't have to give it away." His face was relieved and relaxed.
The two old men admired his character very much.
The fourth old master said, "Although that said, Zhuoran only has Tianhua, one son. He has adopted it, and he will not leave any incense behind him. If he wants to say that if he is born again in the future, what should he do then?"
Li Zhuoyuan said: "Maybe my brother and sister are pregnant."
This is more like a joke.
He looked towards Li Zhuoran, with a sarcastic look on his face - he mocked Li Zhuoran for selling his son and seeking honor, and even ignored the incense behind him.
