Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 433 The Su Family Settles Trouble

Manager Cheng was overjoyed and said with a smile, "If Old Wu knew about this, he would be furious. I just cut him off. Don't worry, if you have any problems in the city, just come to me. There is nothing we can't handle here."

He did not ask for Su He's prescription in vain, and directly gave Su He a hundred taels of silver. Su He thought to himself that the shopkeepers in the prefecture city were different, and they were more generous than Shopkeeper Wu.

They bought gifts in the afternoon, the best snacks and their own four writing tools, and visited several important people one by one. They all gave him face and said that he was a friend of the shopkeeper, so he was their friend.

The next day, they waited for a whole day, but the two people didn't come. No one came for several days in a row, it seems that someone helped them out. Those people behind the scenes knew from different channels that the Su family had a close relationship with Fu Man Lou, which meant that they were related to the royal family. Whoever dared to plot against them immediately gave up and put aside their jealous thoughts.

Sometimes, connections are a good thing. Money may not necessarily make things happen, but people can easily solve them with a word. From ancient times to the present, no matter where you are, you can't escape the ways of the world. Don't say that some people are impartial, that's just to people you don't know well. You can see which official doesn't make good arrangements for his own children, and which rich person doesn't pave the way for his own children.

Otherwise, where would so many royal relatives, so many friends and relatives come from? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are human relationships. Everyone lives in these networks, and various relationships are intertwined and difficult to distinguish.

The shops in the city were finally on the right track, the managers were arranged properly, and the workers were in place. A few masters were left in the city to follow the Su He brothers, so that there would be someone to take care of things here.

Su He's father took Su He and the rest of the people back to Shili Village. He also had to go back to deal with things there. Some of the food needed to be transported to Fenggu City, where the noodle workshop needed a lot of flour. Some of the fruit from the fruit trees also needed to be made into jam and canned food and stored in the cellar to sell at a good price in winter.

There is no need to worry about poultry such as chickens and ducks today, as Fu Man Lou will take them all. The remaining eggs, such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and quail eggs, except those that are sold, are made into pickled eggs and preserved eggs, as well as canned quail eggs. These can be stored for a longer period of time, which is equivalent to another product.

If you count carefully, the Su family has quite a lot of businesses, including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. Each farm has ponds and rice fields, in which various fish are raised. Most of these fish can be used up by Fu Man Lou. The rest are made into smoked fish and canned fish, which are sold in winter.

Su He and his friends finally set out on their journey home. They have been away from home for almost a month. I wonder how the situation is at home?

Although they were thinking about family matters along the way, they were still not in a hurry. When it was time to rest, they would find an inn to stay in, and they could not waste time on the road. From time to time, they would also ask about the prices of the places they passed by, so that they would have a clear idea of ​​the prices. After all, the business they were doing was closely related to the lives of ordinary people.

In addition, they need to know the situation of the nearby government. Their business is nearby, and they may do business nearby. They need to know themselves and their enemies. In the future, they will know what to do. They can use the power of Fu Man Lou in large places, but they need to deal with small places by themselves.

The Su family was very cautious every time they expanded their business, also because the family had a solid foundation. Those without a background were afraid of the government officials. If they hadn't known General Wang An and the Ninth Prince, the Su family would still be living cautiously in Shili Village. Even if they made money, they could only wait until the sons of the Su family graduated from high school before they could expand their business.

Su He admired the Ye family for this. In the past few years, the Ye family has established a firm foothold in Fenggu City. Master Ye has already gained a position in the army by relying on the Su family's connections and the efforts of the younger generation of men in the family. They are all risking their lives. Fortunately, there have been no wars in the past few years, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

Because the border town wars were over, they could only rely on some small merits to accumulate little by little. Su He knew that it was only a matter of time for the Ye family to restore its glory, and the character of a person who survived a desperate situation was immeasurable.
