I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly

The housekeeper of the Song residence came to report: "Eldest son, all the shopkeepers are here."

Yuan Jia looked away from the ledger in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Let them all come in!"

Butler Song backed out, and after a while, a dozen people came in one after another.

Yuan Jia sat on the chair in the main hall, his eyes swept over the seventeen people one by one, and stopped at some of them.

These seventeen people were all the persons in charge of the Song family's business in Shunyi Mansion sent by Father Song. Those who could be chosen by Father Song as persons in charge were all capable and loyal.

But loyalty is also graded. After Father Song died, it was inevitable that there would be a few people who were generally loyal or bought by outsiders, and had strange thoughts.

Yuan Jia picked up the top books from the stack of ledgers on the table next to them, and threw them in front of them, each of the five ledgers hit five people accurately: "Explain to me, there is a problem with this ledger! "

Those five shopkeepers were the five people that Yuan Jia had paid special attention to before. They hurriedly picked up the ledger, and with a cold sweat on their heads, they looked at the problematic places on the ledger that Yuan Jia circled with a red pen. In the place where the hands and feet were made, I looked through the entire account book, and there was not a single omission, and the five people were shaking like sifting chaff: "Da, the eldest son..."

The five knelt down with a plop, begging for mercy again and again.

Yuan Jia looked indifferent, didn't even look at them, just lowered his head and sipped the tea quietly.

There were only five people in the main hall who were begging for mercy, and the atmosphere gradually became stagnant. The five people didn't dare to speak, and the other twelve shopkeepers standing next to the five people didn't even dare to breathe.

Yuan Jia slowly put down the teacup, and in the silence, the slight sound of the bottom of the teacup colliding with the table broke the stagnant atmosphere, his eyes fell coldly on the five people kneeling on the ground: "You dug my Song family corner, Caused such a big deficit, then everything should be done according to the rules!"

The five of them suddenly looked like golden paper, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

When Song's father chose the person in charge, he deliberately chose the loyal ones, and most of the loyal confidants were family sons or those who had signed a betrayal contract. These five people were selling themselves to the Song family, and to put it mildly, they were the stewards of the Song family. The one that sounds ugly is the slave of the Song family.

When Yuan Jia dealt with them, he didn't even have to send them off to officials, and he was directly lynched, and there was no blame. Because the law of this world is like this, domestic slaves are the private property of their masters and can be disposed of by their masters.

As soon as Yuan Jia finished speaking, Butler Song walked in with a few servants and dragged the five away.

The remaining twelve shopkeepers listened to the five people outside begging for mercy farther and farther.

Seeing that he had achieved the effect of standing up, Yuan Jia did not embarrass the remaining shopkeeper.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He still understands this truth.

Yuan Jia lectured the remaining twelve people for a while, then sent the ledger down and asked them to leave with their own ledger.

After the twelve people reverently exited, they couldn't help but look at their account book, and then they saw the problematic place circled by the red pen, so scared that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats. .

At this time, they also understood that it was not that they were lucky not to be discovered by the eldest son, but that the eldest son found out and let them go.

Zhu Zhu on this ledger is a warning to them.

These people remembered the five people who were dragged away, and recalled in their minds the secret bribes they refused after Father Song's death, as well as the jumping up and down of the five people, and immediately understood the reason why the five people were dealt with by the eldest son.

They looked at each other with lingering fears, secretly thankful that they had controlled their hearts when they were bribed and did not betray the Song family. Otherwise, one of the people who were killed by the eldest son as an example today would have his share.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

After Yuan Jia stabilized the Song family base camp in Shunyi Prefecture, he began to command the branch of the Song Family Chamber of Commerce from afar.

Even if the situation at the branch is frequent, Yuan Jia is determined not to take half a step out of Shunyi Mansion.

Before his great achievements, he would never take risks with himself. The branch of the Chamber of Commerce in other places is finished. He can rebuild it, but he has only one life. If he dies before avoiding the death node of the original owner, then he is really dead, and there will be no next chance.

Yuan Jia controls the Song family's business and solves business troubles, while secretly cultivating his own power.

Now it is the last dynasty of the dynasty, money can be used to the gods, and money is easy to do things.

In fact, local gentry and tyrants will keep guards, and these guards will have some martial arts. If they take weapons, they are private soldiers. This kind of behavior is tantamount to keeping private soldiers and is not allowed. But now no one in the imperial court cares about these things. As long as the management is in place, no one cares about raising a 100,000 army secretly.

For example, for the vassal kings of various places, according to the rules, the number of guards of the vassal kings is not allowed to exceed 1,000, but after the vassal kings rebelled, which one did not exceed 100,000 troops?

Yuan Jia has long understood that the martial arts in this world are some external skills of beating the body and some technical skills, and the strongest are at most one against five.

There is no such thing as one enemy, one hundred, ten thousand troops, taking the head of an enemy general, flying over eaves and walking walls, internal strength, and light strength.

But since there are basic martial arts, Yuan Jia tried to practice the martial arts that he had learned through the martial arts world before. It can be practiced, but it must be supplemented with medicinal materials. Not bad.

But Yuan Jia is still very satisfied. After all, the world level is here. Others are strong with one enemy and five. After he has developed his internal skills, it is trivial to fly over the eaves and go against a hundred with one enemy. Is he coming? Are you still afraid of the killer sent by King An?

Song Zhiyuan kept his filial piety at home, did not go out to make waves, and did not always come up with a little moth to show his sense of existence as before. I also understand that my brother is too busy, and I never bother him when I have nothing to do.

Therefore, Yuan Jia, who was busy with the Song family's business and practice, temporarily forgot about the male protagonist's younger brother.

Until Song Zhiyuan suddenly came to him and said, "Brother, Yan Siqiu came to me today and said that she admires me."

Yuan Jiacai was shocked to realize that Yan Siqiu, the heroine, had been reborn, and began to think of a way to marry Song Zhiyuan.

He looked at Song Zhiyuan and asked, "She said she admires you, do you believe it?"

Song Zhiyuan shook his head: "I didn't believe her." If his brother hadn't told him to be vigilant about his uncle's family in advance, maybe he really thought that the cousin who played with him when he was a child would admire him, after all, he is also the second son of Song. A young and talented young man who is suave in the wind!

But because of Yuan Jia's reminder, when Song Zhiyuan confessed to Yan Siqiu, his first reaction was: Uncle wanted to use his cousin to erode the Song family!

As soon as he opened his brain hole, he couldn't close it. Song Zhiyuan doubted, "It must have been my uncle who asked my cousin to come. He wants to use my cousin to steal our Song family's property after my cousin marries me!"

Yuan Jia was slightly startled, and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Then why did my uncle let my cousin marry you? Now I am in charge of the Song family. Wouldn't it be better for my cousin to choose me?"

Song Zhiyuan said with a serious expression: "It must be because my uncle wanted my cousin to marry me and then pushed me and my brother to fight for the family property, and then took advantage of the fisherman while we were fighting!"

These days, Yuan Jia can't take care of Song Zhiyuan, but Song Zhiyuan can't be around at all, and there are always some people who say something to sow discord in his ear.

"Second son, now the Song family is the eldest son in charge, the second son should make plans early!"

"When my father was in charge of the house, it was completely different from when my brother was in charge. The eldest son has not come to visit the second son like before."

"I know that the second son and the eldest son have a good relationship, but it's better to take precautions before being swept out of the house..."

Song Zhiyuan could hear similar words wherever he went, especially the son-in-law of other wealthy merchants in Shunyi Prefecture. When he saw him, he would say such things to sow discord, trying to make him separate from his brother.

But these people underestimated Song Zhiyuan's feelings for his brother Song Yuanjia. In Song Zhiyuan's heart, even if his brother wanted all of the Song family's property, he was willing to give it to his brother, as long as he could keep him by his side.

Even Father Song would never have imagined that the Song family, famous for their wealth, would even raise a child like Song Zhiyuan who regarded money as dung.

Because Song Zhiyuan heard a lot of provocative words these days, when he suspected his uncle, his first reaction was that his uncle wanted to use his cousin to make him and his brother become enemies.

Perhaps after her cousin Yan Siqiu married him, she found that she could not provoke his relationship with her brother by blowing the pillow, and she would pretend to be molested by his brother to anger him and force him to turn against his brother.

Song Zhiyuan's expression became more serious the more he made up his mind: "Brother, you must be careful with your cousin, she must have been sent by my uncle to provoke our brothers' feelings!"

Yuan Jia didn't know that Song Zhiyuan had so many internal dramas. He was very satisfied with Song Zhiyuan's performance in guarding against Yan Siqiu, and nodded approvingly: "Zhiyuan, you did a good job. Don't worry, brother won't be blinded by Yan Siqiu, she can't get married. Enter the Song family!"

After Song Zhiyuan got Yuan Jia's promise, he was relieved.

"Then you are busy, I won't disturb you."

"Wait, Zhiyuan!" Yuan Jia called to Song Zhiyuan, "It just so happens that you are free too, help my brother with the business. Brother has other things to do, and you will be in charge of the Song family's business in the future."

Song Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment: "Brother, what's the matter with you, you don't even care about business? My father said before his death that he would let you be the heir, and I'll just take the dividends."

Song Zhiyuan really didn't plan to intervene in the Song family's business. Isn't it delicious to be a salted fish while lying under the protection of his brother?

Anyway, even if he was a **** all his life, he could be supported by the wealth of the Song family.

Yuan Jia didn't plan to leave a smart and capable brother idle, he walked out of the study: "Zhiyuan, come with me!"

He took Song Zhiyuan all the way to the pavilion in the garden. It was open on all sides, and there was no one around. Unless someone installed a bug, there was no fear of being overheard when talking here.

Yuan Jia stood in the gazebo, looked at Song Zhiyuan with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "Zhiyuan, I found out the real murderer behind the murder of my parents."

"What?" Song Zhiyuan's face changed suddenly, "Did your parents get killed?"

He always thought that Song's father and Song's mother were accidentally killed by a robber, but now Yuan Jia told him that the robber was not a real robber, and there were instigators behind the scenes!

Yuan Jia nodded slightly and said: "The robber was sent by King An to pretend to be because he secretly recruited his father to serve him, but his father refused him. In order to get the Song family's property, King An sent people to distribute in the Chamber of Commerce. The Ministry made trouble, led the parents out of the city, and sent people to pretend to be robbers to kill them. After the death of the father, the Song family will be in chaos, and then King An will support several other families in the Shunyi House to annex the Song family..."

Song Zhiyuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred: "King An!!"

Yuan Jia said: "Zhiyuan, Prince An is the prince of the dynasty, the emperor's uncle, with high status and power. If you want to avenge your parents, it's not enough to just do business..."

Song Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with hatred, nodded, and said seriously: "Brother, from today onwards, teach me how to do business! Just let go of whatever you want, and I will definitely try my best to help you! "

"Good brother!" Yuan Jia patted Song Zhiyuan's shoulder with a smile, "Our brothers are united, and their profits will cut gold!"

Song Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Let's avenge our parents together!"

In the original plot, Song Yuanjia told Song Zhiyuan about the real murderer behind the death of his parents before he died. Song Zhiyuan killed his parents and even his only brother. He was stimulated by hatred and awakened and started him The male protagonist's road to revenge.

But now Yuan Jia told Song Zhiyuan the truth that Song's father and mother were killed by An Wang, which also stimulated Song Zhiyuan. Song Zhiyuan, who wanted to be a **** and salted fish all his life, also became serious.

Yuan Jia taught him to take over the Song family's business, and he learned it very seriously.

And Song Zhiyuan's talent also made Yuan Jia couldn't help but marvel, and he deserved to be the male protagonist.

Compared with the male protagonists in the previous world, Song Zhiyuan is smart, capable, affectionate and righteous, and has a good character. When he studies with a positive attitude and earnestness, he truly shines his own light. Yuan Jia felt that Song Zhiyuan was what a real male protagonist should look like.

And like Yang Yuanqi in the previous world, virtue doesn't match.

Yuan Jia taught Song Zhiyuan how to do business and how to manage the Song Family Chamber of Commerce, without hiding anything from anyone.

Therefore, many people who are staring at the Song family know that now the head of the Song family, Song Yuanjia, has begun to cultivate his own playful younger brother!

Some people treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and think that Yuanjia must have some conspiracy to cultivate Song Zhiyuan. They do not believe that Yuanjia will be so selfless in handing over the Song family business to Song Zhiyuan.

And some people thought that Yuan Jia was disgusted with his younger brother's constant idleness and wanted his younger brother to learn something, but they all felt that a **** like Song Zhiyuan would definitely not be able to learn anything.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. Yuanjia really trained Song Zhiyuan to manage the Song family's business. After Song Zhiyuan studied hard, his ability was not inferior to Song Yuanjia.

After Song Zhiyuan could get started, Yuan Jia sent him to manage part of the business to practice his hands. With him watching from behind, he would never go wrong.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yan family.

Uncle Yan was drinking at home, complaining while drinking, "What's that **** Song Zhiyuan capable of? He can eat, drink and have fun! Song Yuanjia would rather let such a **** help him manage his business than let my uncle help him! I'm so angry! I am!"

Yan Siqiu heard his father's complaint and quickly asked, "Dad, what did you just say? Song Yuanjia asked Song Zhiyuan to help him manage the business?"

Uncle Yan hiccupped and said feebly, "Yeah! Song Yuanjia recently took Song Zhiyuan to learn to manage the business, so he probably planned to ask Song Zhiyuan to help him."

Yan Siqiu's eyes lit up. She thought that after Song Yuanjia's death in her previous life, it was Song Zhiyuan who supported the Song family. Later, Song Zhiyuan saw that King Cheng was the real son of the dragon. Later, Song Zhiyuan sealed the marquis, and the Song family jumped from a merchant to a founding noble in one fell swoop.

Yan Siqiu felt that she was not as short-sighted as her father. She knew Song Zhiyuan's potential, so she persuaded Uncle Yan: "Dad, let me marry the second cousin! You see, the second cousin is also in charge of the Song family's business now. Now, when I marry the second cousin, I can blow the pillow wind to the second cousin and let him help you!"

Uncle Yan, who had hit the wall many times at Yuan Jia, fell into deep thought, and what his daughter said seemed to make sense.

Uncle Yan wanted to marry Yan Siqiu to Song Yuanjia, but he had mentioned it many times, but Yuanjia refused.

Now, choosing Song Zhiyuan as the second best option seems to be a good choice.

Seeing his father's expression loosened, Yan Siqiu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot to persuade him a few more words. Uncle Yan was relieved: "Okay, I'll help you to tell that kid Yuan Jia!"

Uncle Yan was quite active. After he made a decision, he woke up the next day and changed his clothes and went to Song Mansion to find Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia hadn't torn apart with the Yan family yet, so he met him.

After Uncle Yan came in, he sat uninvited, with a greasy smile on his round fat face: "Yuanjia, uncle came to see you. Where is Zhiyuan? I, an uncle, also want to see what happened to Zhiyuan. Well, after all your parents are gone, as an uncle, I have to take good care of you..."

Yuan Jia ignored Uncle Yan's words. He is someone who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. He must have a plan to find him, but Uncle Yan always likes to go around a few circles before talking about things.

"Speak! What do you want to do?"

Uncle Yan smiled embarrassedly, and then looked around pretending to be indifferent: "Where's Zhiyuan? Call Zhiyuan out, you have to tell him about it!"

Yuan Jia said lightly: "You don't need to look for him, he went out to check the accounts. Dad is not here, the eldest brother is like a father, you can just tell me anything."

Uncle Yan squeezed an embarrassing greasy smile on his face and said, "Yuanjia, Zhiyuan is not too young, you also said that you are the eldest brother like a father, so you should consider marriage for Zhiyuan..."

Yuan Jia interrupted him and said indifferently, "Zhiyuan and I are still in the period of filial piety!"

The embarrassment on Uncle Yan's face became even stronger. He also knew that the brothers were in the filial piety period, but if he did not settle the matter with Yuan Jia during the filial piety period, when they were out of filial piety, their marriage would be a big hit. Yan Siqiu's turn?

Uncle Yan said cheekily: "This uncle knows, but you are not too young. After three years, you will be nineteen, Zhiyuan will be seventeen, and you have reached the age to marry a wife. You don't want to marry yourself. , I can't delay Zhiyuan. It just so happens that Zhiyuan is about the same age as my family Siqiu, and they are also childhood cousins, so wouldn't they be a perfect match!"

Yuan Jia was almost laughed at by Uncle Yan's cheekiness, because his words were too familiar.

"It just so happens that Yuanjia, you are only two years older than my Siqiu, and you are also the cousins ​​of childhood sweethearts. Isn't it a perfect match!"

Yuan Jia sneered: "If you're a matchmaker, just change the name. Could it be that your daughter will not be able to find a husband other than our Song family?"

Uncle Yan said: "It's not that uncle wants to take care of you, everyone kisses and kisses, and it will be a family in the future, wouldn't it be better?"

"Family?" Yuan Jia raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "You mean to say that when we become a family in the future, the money of the Song family belongs to the Yan family, so we don't need to share it with each other, right?"

"Of course it's good!" Uncle Yan was excited when he thought about it, but he came back to his senses and changed his words shyly, "I mean, it's good to be a family, I don't mean to covet the Song family's property..."

Yuan Jia looked at Uncle Yan's appearance of 'there is no silver 300 taels here', and directly served tea to the guests.

The marriage between Song Zhiyuan and Yan Siqiu that he mentioned is naturally unnecessary.

Uncle Yan went back in despair.

Yan Siqiu, who was looking forward to his uncle Yan's return at home, opened his mouth to ask the result, when he saw Uncle Yan's gray face, and the question was stuck in his throat and couldn't be asked.

Looking at his father's face, he also knew that the marriage proposal was unsuccessful.

Yan Siqiu thought to himself, it seems that he still has to plan on his own, and relying on a waste father is not enough!

So Yan Siqiu tried to find out Song Zhiyuan's whereabouts. Song Zhiyuan inspected the properties of the Song family in Shunyi Prefecture every day, and checked the accounts once a month, so his whereabouts in Shunyi Mansion was still very easy to inquire about.

Then Yan Siqiu blocked Song Zhiyuan who had just finished inspecting the industry and was about to go home: "Cousin, let's go to the nearby restaurant for a cup of tea, I have something to tell you."

Song Zhiyuan looked at Yan Siqiu vigilantly, and refused directly: "No, I'm going home now, and I don't want to listen to you."

After Uncle Yan failed to propose marriage that day, Yuan Jia told Song Zhiyuan about the matter. Song Zhiyuan did not expect that Yan Siqiu would ask Uncle Yan to propose marriage directly after he confessed to him in private and was rejected by him!

So Song Zhiyuan, who couldn't stop thinking about it, suspected that Yan Siqiu must have a big conspiracy, otherwise why would he want to marry him so persistently?

In the face of this kind of person who wanted to plot against him, but he couldn't kill him directly for the time being, Song Zhiyuan strictly followed his brother's teaching—leave her without giving her any chance to get in touch.

So Yan Siqiu didn't have a chance to say a word to Song Zhiyuan at all.

Why? Why am I so good. In my previous life, even Song Yuanjia, the head of the Song family, was able to marry, but when I was reborn, I wanted to marry a dude but couldn't?
