Chen Yu's heart sank. Although her father being able to compare her to his brother Chen Qian was already a huge improvement for her, she still felt a little unhappy. Based on her own guess, if Chen Qian wanted to kill her, how could she not walk on thin ice? He wanted to survive in the Chen family because Chen Qian was his biggest enemy, but he couldn't tell his father everything. Even if he told his father, with his father's trust in Chen Qian, he would think that he was slandering him.
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely make our Chen family prosper."
"Alright, with you two good sons, I can finally be considered at ease. Cough, cough …" Chen Zhong started to cough again.
"Father, it's cool outside. Let's go back to the room."
Sigh, this disease of mine has been thrown aside by the clan's property and has no one to take care of it. Our family did not have an uncle like this in the first place, but now, it is even worse than your uncle's. Yu'er, even though you have not reached adulthood yet, I still want you and your brother to shoulder the family's property. I intend to give each of you a hundred gold coins.
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Her father wasn't asking her to manage the family business. This was clearly a competition between him and Chen Qian to test their ability to manage the family business.
A thought flashed across Chen Yu's mind, could it be? Did Father want to choose the successor between him and Chen Qian? If that was really the case, then the victory of this competition would determine the place that he and Chen Qian held in his father's heart. If his father really had changed, then he was giving him a chance, a chance at a fair competition with Chen Qian. As long as he took this chance, then his father's position would change completely.
Having thought this through, Chen Yu Ning said, "Please be at ease, Father. I will definitely bring you good news."
"Mm, I'm tired. You go back first." Chen Zhong waved his hand. Chen Yu nodded, turned around and walked away.
This was the first time he had given Chen Yu a chance, a chance for him to prove himself. He didn't know if he was right or wrong, but he knew that given his illness, it was already too late for him. Only in this way would he be able to choose a successor he was satisfied with.
"I hope they can understand my painstaking efforts."
"Cough, cough …" Chen Zhong sighed and walked into the room …
Returning to her room, Chen Yu's mind was flooded with thoughts. Her father had given her and Chen Qian each a hundred gold coins. Using this money, she would strive to earn more money within four months. What was the best way to make the most profit?
Chen Yu picked up a map of the Darkhan Empire and kept flipping through it. From the map, it looked like the largest Nanyang County around Ying Chuan was the largest county in the Han Dynasty, with a population of 2.43 million, with a large population that required a lot of food, and Ying Chuan had a big harvest last year, producing a lot of food, which was very cheap. If it was shipped to Nanyang County, then there would be 30% of the profit, and if the freight and cost were removed, there would also be 20% of the profit.
However, Chen Qian would definitely be able to think of something as simple as this. Selling food to Nan Yang would take around a month, and in four months, he would be able to sell the grains to Nan Yang twice, and that would allow him to make 60% of the profit out of 100 gold. Chen Qian had already made contact with the family business, and after running through Nan Yang a few times, she had become familiar with the roads and connections, so the cost was less than Chen Qian's.
Chen Yu was in deep thought, her eyes searching the map. Suddenly, a name appeared in front of her; it was' Dan Yang '.
It was inseparable from the quality of Dan Yang's horses. In addition, there were many people who raised horses in Dan Yang, thus the demand for iron was very high, and Nanyang Iron Melting Industry was well-developed, the city was filled with blacksmith shops, if you sold the rice from Ying Chuan to Nan Yang, you could buy iron from Nan Yang to Dan Yang to buy iron from Dan Yang to Ying Chuan to sell to all the rich young masters who liked to show off their wealth, the profit would be much greater.
If he followed his own route, then he could circle around in a circle in three months. The four month expectation was just right, but the profit was much greater than simply selling food to Nanyang. As long as he went around in a circle like this, he could roughly estimate that his 100 gold would be increased at least twofold.
Actually, the route Chen Yu chose was not something that no one had thought of, however, the recent roads from Yingchuan to Nanyang and Danyang in Xuzhou were not peaceful, it seemed that there were bandits that occupied the mountain as king, causing great losses to the merchants, even the officials could not do anything about it, Chen Yu also knew this, but he believed that wealth came from danger, and if they wanted to win, they could only fight with all their might.
Moreover, Chen Yu's greatest reliance was her swordsmanship. There were still three days before their departure. Chen Yu decided to go to Xu Chang to prepare some supplies, so she entered Xu Chang City.
When Chen Yu arrived at the main street, there were many people and it was bustling with noise and excitement, only to see a group of people in front of her. Chen Yu walked over, only to see a yellow-faced burly man with a long face waving his halberd, performing well, that man's martial arts was very high, and he was also strong, but his movements were not gaudy, so, while there were many people watching, there were not many people who gave money to him. Chen Yu was also a famous martial arts student. When she saw the martial arts of the man, she could not help but secretly praise him and immediately wanted to accept it.
With a faint smile, Chen Yu came up to the man and said, "Brother, good martial arts!"
"Sigh, this is a peaceful and prosperous era. Martial arts cannot be exchanged for food!" The man sighed.
"Hur hur, if you want something good to eat, I'll treat you." Chen Yu said.
"Really? "Well, thanks a lot."
The man and Chen Yu entered the restaurant. Chen Yu asked for a table of good dishes and the man immediately started to chew. Chen Yu smiled and thought to herself, this man is a straightforward person.
It turned out that this man was actually Chen Liuzhu. Because he had killed someone for his friends, he had managed to escape Chen Liu and had managed to escape from the pursuit of several hundred people. He had been performing well all the way to Xu Chang City.
"So that's how it is. For you to be able to avenge your friend, you are a man with a reputation. I, Chen Yu, admire a man like you!" Right, what is your name? " Chen Yu said.
"His surname is Wei, and his calligraphy name is Hong Fei."
Shuang Wei! He was actually Dian Wei!
Chen Yu felt as if a thunderclap had struck her ears. The young man in front of her was actually called "Evil from ancient times" by Cao Cao! In his previous life, Chen Yu had studied history and was extremely familiar with the three kingdoms. Naturally, he knew of Dianwei's great name, one Lu and two Zhao Sanjie.
Chen Yu's first thought was that he would definitely take back the Guan Wei. If he had it, who could hurt him? This was a super bodyguard! With him here, he would have a great general under his command. The benefits he would gain in the future would be too great. If he were to run into one, he could not afford to miss it.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu forced himself to calm down and said, "I am Ying Chuan and Chen Yu, and you have nowhere to go. Why don't you come with me?"
"Do you have meat and wine?" Shuang Wei asked foolishly.
"Of course there will be meat and wine. You must come with me. I will treat you well and give you ten taels of silver every month." No matter what, he would first bring Cunwei home. When the time came, there would be wine, meat, and money. It would be difficult for Cunwei not to rely on himself, Chen Yu thought to herself.
"Alright then. In any case, I'm alone and have nothing to worry about. I'll go with you." Dian Wei said.
Done!
Chen Yu was overjoyed. Since Dian Wei had decided to go with her, she was confident that she could take him in. When she thought of how she could receive such a fierce person, Chen Yu almost laughed out loud.
