Meet The Leader

The second son, Chu Xiu, was replaced by the fourth son, Chu Shang, in charge of the caravan, which surprised everyone in the Chu family, but then everyone was relieved.

Who does not know the entire Chu family, the master's favorite is the fourth son, but the people inside the caravan feel a little awkward.

Although Chu Xiu has been in charge of the caravan for a short time, in fact, Chu Xiu is quite prestigious in the caravan.

All those managers who wanted to oppose Chu Xiu in the past have been killed by Chu Xiu. The rest of the caravan's people have a very simple idea, as long as they are treated enough, they will be satisfied.

Chu Xiu gave them more rewards than before, and after Chu Xiu stopped acting with the caravan, he promoted a few more stewards. These people are also very free. As long as they don't do small tricks in secret, Chu Xiu will not. Embarrass them.

Now suddenly there is a new person, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

At this time, in the courtyard where the people of the caravan rested together, a servant with a slightly pointed mouth and monkey cheeks approached a man wearing a bunt and asked, "Brother Liu, I heard that our caravan will be managed by the fourth son in the future. What do you think?"

This brother Liu's full name is Liu Youcheng. When Chu Xiu took over the caravan, this guy was the first to oppose Chu Xiu, but when he heard that the caravan's treatment had increased, he was also the first to surrender.

Although he was a bit duplicitous, he was quite clever in his work, so he was promoted by Chu Xiu to be the manager of the caravan.

He is also an old man in the caravan, and he has a good relationship with everyone.

Hearing the servant ask this, Liu Youcheng shook his head and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't, don't you know how difficult it is for the young masters?

The second son is good to us, but can we fight against the fourth son? Work honestly, don't think so much useless. "

Just as he finished saying those words, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Chu Shang walked in with a few followers.

The person behind him was probably in his forties, dressed in a blue samurai uniform, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his face was cold.

He is Lin Qian, a guest of the Chu family, and has a very high status in the Chu family, even higher than some of the elders of the Chu family.

Although some of the elders of the Chu family were in the blood coagulation state, they were already too old to move. It was only because they were the elders of Chu Zongguang that they could sit in the elder's position.

And this Lin Qian is a blood-clotting realm martial artist in his prime. It is said that he was born in a small school. He walked the rivers and lakes in his early years. Later, he was recruited by the Chu family and became a guest. He has been in the Chu family for several years. To respectfully call him Uncle Lin.

Seeing Chu Shang walk in, Liu Youcheng and the other two caravan stewards who were promoted by Chu Xiu immediately walked over and saluted, "I have seen Fourth Young Master."

Chu Shang nodded and said lightly, "Are all the people in the caravan here?"

Liu Youcheng nodded and said, "It's all here."

"Okay then, tell everyone to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow."

Liu Youcheng was stunned for a moment: "Fourth Young Master, we only came back yesterday. According to the rules, we should rest for three days before leaving."

Chu Shangyi frowned and said, "Every time the caravan comes back, we have to rest. During those few days of rest, we can go to the country of Yan again every month! Tell everyone, we are ready now, and we will leave tomorrow!"

Liu Youcheng smiled bitterly and said, "But Fourth Young Master, people are not made of iron. The business road in Shangmang Mountain is difficult to walk, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants. If you don't rest for a while, everyone really can't stand it. Because of this, Second Young Master only let us rest for three days."

Hearing Liu Youcheng mentioning Chu Xiu, Chu Shang's complexion suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I am in charge of the caravan now!"

Chu Shang suddenly thought of something, he frowned and said, "All three of you are in charge?"

Liu Youcheng and the other three nodded, feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Chu Shang immediately said: "From now on, you are not anymore."

Having said that, Chu Shang directly let several of his confidants take over the positions of stewards, regardless of whether they had any experience in managing caravans.

Liu Youcheng and the others looked at all this in a stunned manner. Although they were dissatisfied, they could only hold back.

At this time, Chu Xiu returned to his courtyard, and Gao Bei followed him carefully.

Although Chu Xiu didn't tell him, the Chu family is so big, and those rumors have long spread.

Second Young Master has lost the caravan now. I guess he is already angry and wants to kill, right?

At this time, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "Is there anyone from Chu Shang's inn restaurant?"

Gao Bei was stunned for a moment before he said: "It doesn't seem to be the case. Inns and restaurants are long-running businesses, and whoever manages them is the same. Therefore, the shopkeepers of the inns and restaurants are all old people from my Chu family. ."

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's good, let's prepare and move out of the family. I heard that the backyard of my Chu family restaurant is big enough, so let's move there."

Gao Bei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care, he thought it was Chu Xiu who disliked the simplicity of his house in the Chu family.

In fact, this kind of thing is also very common. Except for the youngest Chu Shang, Chu Kai and Chu Sheng have their own houses outside. After all, they are also adults. Some things are inconvenient to do in the house, but they can be done outside. Feel free to.

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Chu's house was very lively. One was that Chu Shang brought the caravan to set off, and the other was that Chu Xiu had his belongings moved out of the Chu house. The two just met.

Chu Shang was wearing a strong suit, wearing a long sword on his waist, and riding a jujube red Northland chasing horse. He didn't look like the manager of the caravan, but like a young master who was ready to go to the rivers and lakes at any time.

At this moment, he looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of pride in his eyes, but in fact, there was jealousy towards Chu Xiu behind this glimmer of pride.

He was the youngest in the Chu family before. Although he was favored, because his mother had no background, he could only keep a low profile.

But at least compared to him, there is another Chu Xiu who can be the back, which gives Chu Shang some psychological comfort.

But who would have thought that since Chu Xiu came back from the Nanshan mining area, he seemed to be a different person, and quickly established prestige in the family, and he, Chu Shang, was still a transparent person, and he seemed to give everyone an impression. There is only one, and that is well-behaved and the owner of the house likes it.

Now, with just a few words, Chu Xiu's hard work has been successfully achieved. After all, he is young, and he could endure it at Chu Zongguang yesterday, but now that there is no Chu Zongguang, he can't help it. It's time to show off in front of Chu Xiu.

"Second brother, you have traveled this trade route once. You are considered experienced, but what experience do you have to pass on to my brother?"

Chu Shang drove his horse to Chu Xiu, and asked with a playful look on his face.

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Experience? I told you yesterday that the business road is rough, be careful, the bandits don't care whether you are from the Chu family or not, if you leave Tongzhou, the face of the Chu family is not easy to use. Mangshan, that's going to see blood!"

With the last sentence, Chu Xiu's eyes flashed a red tyrannical murderous intent, which immediately shocked Chu Shang, but the killing intent disappeared in an instant, and no one else noticed, even Even Chu Shang thought that he had seen it wrong.

But he didn't dare to provoke Chu Xiu any more, he just snorted coldly and urged the caravan to set off.

Chu Shang handed over to Chu Xiu a total of four inns, a restaurant, and a weapons shop.

However, Chu Xiu didn't have much interest in the weapon shop. The Chu family only sold some ordinary weapons, and at most it was one turn. Apart from the monthly money, it was fairly stable and didn't have much effect.

After Chu Xiu moved his residence to the backyard of the restaurant, Gao Bei also brought five slightly nervous shopkeepers to see Chu Xiu.

They are all just ordinary people, and they don't even know much about the internal affairs of the Chu family. Now they have suddenly changed managers, which makes them a little uneasy.

Looking at the five shopkeepers, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, professional things are handled by professional people. In the future, how to take care of the inn and restaurant, and how to take care of it, nothing needs to change."

But Chu Xiu suddenly changed his voice and said, "But I have one more thing for you to do."

The shopkeepers said quickly, "Second Young Master ordered it."

Chu Xiu said solemnly: "My Tongzhou Prefecture is the closest one to Yan Kingdom, so most of the caravans from other prefectures in Wei County will stop at my Tongzhou Prefecture to travel to and from Yan Kingdom.

These people are also the competitors of my Chu family caravan, so you let the guys be smart and record the news in detail when you hear their conversations. These are useful information, and you have to give them to me every day. "

Chu Xiu had promised before that UU reading www.uukanshu.com would give Han Bao information about these caravans.

In the past month, Chu Xiu has indeed given Han Leopard a lot of information, but this information was all Chu Xiu asked his men to squat at the entrance of the inn. Only then did he find out. It was a bit laborious. Taking the initiative to give these things to yourself will undoubtedly be much simpler.

And Chu Xiu doesn't have to worry about what they leaked. The people in the restaurant and inn have nothing to do with the Chu family. Normally, they don't even need to contact the Chu family. They pay the money on time every month, which is enough.

These were just trivial matters, so the shopkeepers agreed quickly, and after giving them a few polite words, Chu Xiu sent them away.

Turning around, Chu Xiu said to Gao Bei, "Get ready, I will go to Shangmang Mountain with me tomorrow morning."

When he heard Chu Xiu say that he was going to Shang Mang Mountain, Gao Bei shuddered. He was really afraid of those bandits.

But he was afraid that he would be afraid, so he nodded and didn't refuse.

Just like what Chu Xiu told him in Yuanbao Town before, life and death depend on fate, and wealth is in heaven. If you want to be rich, you can only fight.

During this period of time, he became Chu Xiu's confidant. He didn't do as much as before, but he got a lot of money. He even bought a small yard in Tongzhou Mansion and took his younger brother over.

In the Chu family, because Chu Xiu's status has risen, so has his status. Those servants who looked down on him in the past are now calling him 'brother'.

As Chu Xiu said, when people are not content, Gao Bei is an honest person, but he has already enjoyed it all, and of course he doesn't want to go back.

As for Chu Xiu's order, even if he resisted in his heart, he didn't dare to refuse, or he didn't want to refuse.
