They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 27 Si Mingyu Sheds Tears

"It's a misunderstanding, Young Master Luo, you've misunderstood. Our manager said he was worried about neglecting you, so he specially asked me to bring you a box of pastries..."

The servant from Sinan Trading Company hurriedly handed over the pastries, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

The coldness on Su Luo's face lessened somewhat, and she snorted, "That had to be for the best."

"I don't know much about what it's like here, but in the south, if you try to cheat in business, you'll get your fingers cut off!"

"Tell your manager that I hope to remain friends with your Sinan Trading Company forever!"

He reiterated that he was from the "South".

At the same time, he was subtly threatening the servant, who forced a smile and nodded, "That's right, that's right..."

By this time, Ye Hu had returned with a large number of tools, and he had even bought a trolley, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room to put them all.

Most of the tools were made of wood, many of which were used for farming, along with a few hoes, carrying poles, and the like.

These things all need to be modified before they can be used in salt production.

The servant was puzzled by what these things were for, but he didn't say anything and breathed a sigh of relief.

In conclusion, it seems that Su Luo did not engage in communication with other businesses.

This shows that this mysterious Young Master Luo is still quite moral.

After the servant left, Shen Laosan returned, his gaze strange as he looked at Su Luo: "Young Master, they agreed!"

Su Luo chuckled, "Of course they'll agree!"

"Even the imperial court and royal family might not use such fine salt!"

"Not to mention the small town of Yunhai, if this salt were taken out, it would surely cause a stir!"

"Moreover, my vision has never been limited to just Yunhai Town... I don't even care about Feiyun City or Linshui County."

Now that the deal was done, Su Luo no longer held back and said, "Within a month, I want our workshop's snowflake salt to be sold throughout the entire Qingzhou."

"And if you want to do this, there is only one business in Yunhai Town that has the means, and that is Tianyun Business."

Tianyun Trading Company, the number one trading company in Qingzhou.

Even within the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it can still be considered one of the top three merchant houses. The Ye family, which founded the Tianyun Merchant House, is one of the wealthiest families in Great Xia.

Moreover, the Ye family had a good relationship with the royal family, which enabled them to expand the Tianyun Trading Company throughout Qingzhou.

"Didn't we already sell the salt to the Sinan Trading Company? Why are we bringing up the Tianyun Trading Company again..."

At this moment, Ye Hu finally realized: "Young Master, are you planning to sell to two different companies?!"

Su Luo frowned. "That's really harsh!"

"What do you mean by selling to two companies? Did I say I was going to sell fine salt to the Sinan Trading Company? Or did I say I was going to sell snowflake salt to the Tianyun Trading Company?!"

He said in a serious tone, "We have two products: the finest fine salt and snowflake salt."

"I only sell snowflake salt to the Sinan Trading Company. I've already received the deposit and signed the contract!"

"But what's wrong with me selling another product to Tianyun Trading Company?"

Ye Hu's lips twitched, and he finally understood why Su Luo had told him not to curse the Si Nan Trading Company. Because when it came to shamelessness, the Si Nan Trading Company couldn't even see the hair on its own son-in-law's feet.

Snowflake salt and refined salt are not affordable for ordinary people; they are targeted at wealthy and influential families!

If refined salt comes out, who will still buy snowflake salt?!

Tan Xing already paid a premium for the snowflake salt, as its social value outweighed its actual worth. But if the refined salt were to appear, forget about its social value; he'd probably have a hard time even breaking even!

Su Luo's actions directly cost the Su family ten thousand taels of silver!

Shameless!

How shameless!

But it was so... awesome!

……

After finishing the task, Su Luo didn't go straight back. Instead, he found a restaurant and treated Ye Hu and the others to a meal.

They packed up a large amount of food before leaving.

As he left, he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder it's ancient times, money is really valuable!"

Two thousand taels of silver were used to buy so many things, and when they finally left, they still had eighteen hundred taels left.

"Uncle Tiger, when we get back to Xiaoyun Village, could you please find someone to repair our lodgings?"

“Not only my dwellings, but yours and our brothers’ dwellings also need to be repaired.”

Su Luo said, "If the brothers have any needs, as long as they are not too unreasonable and are within our capabilities, we will try our best to meet them."

"No matter how I develop in the future... I can guarantee that Uncle Tiger and you guys will always be my first batch of team members."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hu's eyes welled up with tears.

Shen Laosan said, "Son-in-law, you are truly a first-rate person. We used to have doubts about you, but we will never do that again!"

"Even if you asked me to attack a mountain tiger right now, I'd pounce on it without hesitation!"

Su Luo glanced at him and said, "Pounce on it? Then slide tackle and feed it?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

But what Shen Laosan said also reflects the sentiments of everyone.

After this battle, Su Luo became an absolute authority in their hearts. Even if he said dog poop was delicious, no one would doubt him. Instead, they would rush to taste it to see if it was salty or bland.

They arrived with heavy hearts, but left with smiles on their faces.

Having money gives them more confidence.

Su Luo didn't just make empty promises; he also gave Ye Hu a sum of money to distribute.

Anyone who followed him out of the Si family and was willing to follow Su Luo would receive ten taels of silver.

In addition, Su Luo gave Ye Hu an extra one hundred taels.

This tangible act of handing out money made everyone look at Su Luo with even greater sincerity.

Su Luo didn't care about such a small amount of money. With the salt mine in hand, this amount of silver was not even a drop in the ocean.

He touched his face and, before leaving Yunhai Town, bought some rouge for Ah Yue, Si Mingyu, and the other seven women.

……

Upon returning to Xiaoyun Village, A Yue was the first to rush into Su Luo's arms.

"Young master, you're finally back! Why were you gone for so long? I was so worried..."

Ah Yue's eyes were brimming with tears. After all, she had been through so much, and she was worried that Su Luo might encounter bandits or robbers after leaving the village.

It's normal to be excited to see Su Luo back safely.

Si Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to ask, "How is it? Nothing went wrong, right?"

A deep-seated hope flickered in her eyes; after all, this salt was everyone's chance to turn things around.

Both Su Luo and Si Mingyu are now searching for a glimmer of light in the abyss of darkness.

Before Su Luo could speak, Shen Laosan patted her back and asked, "Miss, guess what's here?"

Si Mingyu frowned, then her eyes widened: "Could it be... silver?!"

She immediately led Su Luo and the others into a private room, opened the box on Shen Laosan's back, and saw a full layer of silver ingots.

"Really, it really worked?!"

Si Mingyu covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes, and a pearl-like drop of water fell from her delicate cheek.

The next moment, she couldn't help but throw herself into Su Luo's arms.

With the soft jade in his arms, Su Luo's body instantly became hot...
