Chapter 488: Lively
"Since then, my father has paid attention to the news from all over the world, but after all, we are businessmen, and we want to pay attention to all the countries on the Zhongzhou continent, but we really have more than enough energy to pay attention to. ”
This is also the first time that Miss Lu confessed in front of Li Qianqian how big the territory of the Lu Chamber of Commerce is.
Li Qianqian said in a shallow heart, it is no wonder that the second master Lu and the elder are always not giving up, she heard the guards sent to the Lu family to report, since they arrived at the Lu family, the actions against Lu Run have not been less, and even what beauty tricks have been released, but Lu Run is all focused on learning, and he didn't think much about it at all.
After Miss Lu briefly mentioned the two countries of Zuojiang and Bishui, she didn't say more.
Li Qianqian turned around and asked Liu Er for the full map of the Zhongzhou Continent, Liu Er scratched his head and was a little embarrassed, the map of this year is not easy to get, Li Qianqian said, "Find a way to get the full map of each country first, and then let's fight it ourselves." ”
"Do you want to find Fengjiazhuang......
"No, they have it, it's their hard work, and it's my own way of making it out that I'm impressed. ”
Liu Er thought of the books in Li Shu's new study, "You said that there will be a map there, the whole map of the Zhongzhou Continent?"
After all, it was left by the ancestors, and Li Shu's ancestors were the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire.
"I'll take a look. ”
Thinking of transporting those books back to Nanchu, Li Qianqian wanted to sigh, the distance is one thing, and he was afraid that some people would think that some kind of treasure would come up and grab it halfway, okay! Books are also treasures! They may even be worth more than those antiques! So how to transport them back to the main altar is a big problem.
As soon as Li Qianqian told Li Shu, he was immediately shot in the forehead. "Are you stupid? If you want to send those books away, will you still tell the world that you can't do it?"
"People didn't expect it!" Li Qianqian stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, all of which were flushed, which showed that his cousin was not in a good mood today.
Li Qianqian thought about it for a while, whether to tell him about the map, and finally decided not to talk about it, so as not to be shot in the forehead again.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Li Shu asked, squinting at her.
"Huh, cousin, how do you know I'm in trouble?"
"Do you dare to be dishonest in front of me? Okay, you won't suddenly think of the book, there must be something that makes you think about it. ”
"Hehe!" Li Qianqian told him about the two small countries that Miss Lu had just told her.
Li Shu looked at her with a smile, "Don't tell me, you didn't hear what she said." ”
"What else could it mean. The Lu Chamber of Commerce can't enter, and our Ruiyao Sect should be able to. Li Qian paused and said, "Someone should have taken a fancy to Zuojiang's new ore." "Pay a lot of money to buy it from the Lu Chamber of Commerce.
The Lu Chamber of Commerce doesn't have it, but it doesn't mean that they can't get it, but if they can get the goods from the Ruiyao Sect, why bother to go far.
"That new ore is dangerous. Li Shu said thoughtfully, "As early as the Tiansheng Empire, someone reported that there was this kind of ore comparable to the Night Pearl in the Zuojiang area, but because it was not easy to mine and the new mine was unstable, it was not approved for mining. ”
"Not allowed to mine?" Li Qianqian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. But this kind of thing, there has always been a policy and a countermeasure, and the people on the other side of Sajiang are also smart, since they are not allowed to pick it, they will sell it overseas. ”
"What is this ore called?"
"Luminous stone. "Simple and rude, Li Shu smiled, "Although this luminous stone is produced in the Zhongzhou Continent, it is not allowed to be mined, so not many people on the Zhongzhou Continent know about it, and the entire Zhongzhou Continent is only the one that was presented back then." Li Shu said thoughtfully.
"Where is that glow-in-the-dark stone now?"
"I don't know, but if it's not in Zhao, it's probably in Eastern Qi!" he paused and said, "The people of Eastern Qi are no different from robbers. Li Shu didn't know what he thought, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing this, Li Qianqian didn't ask any further, but asked about the two small countries of Zuojiang and Bishui.
"Zuojiang's royal family has always been very fierce, and Dongqi doesn't want to include it in the territory, but Zuojiang is a difficult bone to gnaw, and the lord of the high country will adopt a policy of locking the country, which is related to Dongqi. In fact, the reason why Lord Lu put his bet on the grandson of King Dingjiang back then was because King Dingjiang was the emperor of Eastern Qi behind him. ”
He asked Li Qianqian, "Miss Lu didn't tell you that Princess Dingjiang is the princess of Dongqi, right?"
Li Qianqian shook his head. "So the Lord of the High Kingdom believes that King Jiang is rebelling, is it because of this?"
"It should be. Li Shu recently read a book, there are a lot of miscellaneous records, recorded are the anecdotes of the countries, "Zuojiang is small, but in the end it is a country, as the lord of the country, how can others be allowed to point fingers at his own country, the king of Dingjiang has the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Dongqi as a backer, three times and twice disrespectful to the lord of the high country, in his own territory, disrespectful by his subordinates, especially his son has been repeatedly passed on inappropriately, the whole country knows that his son will not live long! It is very likely that he needs to succeed the grandson of the king of Dingjiang." ”
"Who, you say, would want the glow-in-the-dark stone?"
"It's hard to say!" Li Shu stretched out his hand and nodded his chin, "The territory of the Lu Chamber of Commerce is so big, if Miss Lu doesn't tell you clearly, you will guess for a lifetime, and don't even think about guessing who wants to buy it." Li Shu smiled, "Hurry up and send someone to learn from Miss Lu, be cautious when picking people, and prefer lack to abuse." He paused and said, "The qualifications don't need to be too good, at least they can't be much stronger than Lu Run, it's okay to be slightly stronger, but don't be too strong." ”
Li Qianqian nodded, "Got it." ”
Liu Er brought someone over the next day and asked Li Shu to pick someone.
Li Shu angrily sent people to Li Qianqian, and Li Qianqian picked a few and asked Liu Er to send them over.
After Miss Lu saw it, she left all the people behind, and then took Lu Run with her, and when she went to the shop of Rui Yao Sect, Lu Run didn't follow.
After a few days of this, Miss Lu came to see Li Qianqian and replaced a few who were not very good, Li Qianqian held her hand, "Thank you Sister Lu." ”
"Whatever I say, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the sect leader. ”
"Well, that's no way, someone has to take over the big mess of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, Master Lu is old, Lu Run is young and inexperienced, and when he needs his sister, the Lu Chamber of Commerce is my sister's home, and when the family is in trouble, I put my family first. ”
"It's me who can't stop you. Miss Lu was ashamed, and Li Qianqian reached out to pull her and the Lu family when she was in trouble.
"My sister is serious, the shop of Ruiyao Sect can gain a firm foothold in the Northern Jin Dynasty in such a short period of time, it is all the credit of my sister, but it is a pity that we are unlucky and failed to keep my sister. ”
Miss Lu held Li Qianqian's hand and said, "Don't worry, here in the Northern Jin Dynasty, I'll help you watch it." ”
"Of course, if I don't rely on my sister, who will I rely on?" Li Qian smiled, "But my brother also has to settle accounts, and my sister also receives a monthly salary from us, which is considered the cost of hiring my sister as a consultant." ”
"Advisor?"
Li Qianqian explained a little to her, and Miss Lu understood, nodded and said, "I hope my salary is white-collar." "That means that the Rui Yao Sect has not encountered difficulties in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there is no need for her as a consultant to help.
"I hope so. Li Qianqian smiled, she felt that this deal would be very cost-effective, because the Northern Jin Dynasty would be chaotic, and when Miss Lu was to be used in the future, I was afraid that it would be a lot.
Miss Lu herself knows very well.
"Let someone pick a few more, and if there are good ones, I'll bring a few more. "It's okay to be tired now, I'm afraid that when she wants to use people in the future, there will be no one to use.
"Good. Li Qianqian nodded in response, turned around and asked Liu Er to pick someone to send him over.
After repeating the screening several times, Miss Lu finally left six people.
At the same time, Li Shu took Jinyi to pack those books, and as for the jewelry, antiques and other treasures, except for those that had been sent back to Nanchu before, all of them were left in the treasury of Loei.
When the manager learned that he was going to keep this batch of treasures, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he ran to find the leader of the crane guard, He Tou smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of! These treasures are locked in the warehouse, and no one says anything about them, who knows that there are such treasures?" ”
The manager shook his head again and again, "Who would talk about it?"
"Don't be afraid, the sect leader will return to the main altar, and the Northern Jin Dynasty will still have to keep people, otherwise who will take care of so many shops?"
"Yes. The manager breathed a sigh of relief.
He Tou was a little worried that their performance was not good enough and they would be left in the Northern Jin Dynasty by the sect leader.
Fortunately, they received a notice the next day that they were going south with the sect leader.
All the crane guards moved, and the pigeon guards and eagle guards who wanted to stay in the Northern Jin Dynasty were a little envious, but they had their own plans, and it was only right to do their errands well.
In the middle of winter, Li Qianqian and his entourage finally set off south.
Lan Hai handed over a few medicine servants to the manager, "Their errands remain the same, if they do well, you look at the rewards one or two, if you don't do it well, you can watch and do it! After a while, maybe I'll be back again." ”
"Yes. After the chief manager was relieved, he finally recovered his original cleverness, Lan Hai nodded secretly, and went out of the medicine furnace courtyard, and went to see Meng Dasheng, those descendants of the Meng family came to visit Meng Dasheng once after settling down, and saw that he was completely thin and out of shape, and they were a little shocked, but they didn't dare to say anything on their faces.
After going back, they sent letters back to the villa, informing the elders of Meng Dasheng's current situation, Leng Erye was scolded miserably, several masters who came to the capital with Meng Dasheng before, pointed at his nose and scolded him, these serious uncles did not dare to be disrespectful to the blue sea father and daughter, his brother of a concubine, why treat people like this? Now they have offended people, but they will bear the consequences!
Thinking of Leng Erye's arrogant appearance when he was in the villa, several masters repaired him fiercely, until Li Qianqian and they left the Northern Jin Dynasty, he was still lying on the bed to recuperate.
"Gone, Sect Master Li, they're gone, it's going to be the New Year, and they're not officials, how could they leave at such a time?"
The attendants who came back and forth said in their hearts, "It's not that you have always come to the door to make trouble, and people should avoid it!" Otherwise, how could you leave when this drop of water turns into ice?
When the empress heard about this, she couldn't help but call Lady Yao for questioning, and Lady Yao pushed the matter on the Meng family, "You also know that Eldest Sun Yun made a lot of trouble. ”
The empress nodded, "Don't tell me, Sect Master Li was so scared by her, and he was afraid that the Meng family would also come to do this, so he left without waiting for the beginning of spring." ”
Female Officer Yao smiled, "It's really hard to say, although it is said that they have always been brave in the rivers and lakes, but Sect Master Li is a child who has not yet reached the end of the day, and it is reasonable to be afraid if he has learned from the past." ”
The empress hadn't seen Li Qianqian after all, otherwise she wouldn't have believed Lady Yao's words.
After Li Qianqian and the others left the capital, they broke up and moved separately.
The people who followed them followed them to an inn, but the next morning they did not see any movement in the inn where they lived, and sent someone to ask the shopkeeper, only to know that they had rested for more than an hour and then left.
"Damn! What are they doing?"
What else can you do? Avoid the people who are following them!
"Boss, are we going to catch up?"
"Chase, where are they going to chase?I don't know where they are going, in which direction are they going to chase?" the leader said angrily.
"Aren't they going south? let's just chase ...... on the way south," the leader snorted, "You're the only smart man in the world?" He said thoughtfully.
"Boss, do we want to repay the master?"
"Not necessarily. The leader shook his head, "What about the people from the Ejiang Palace? We didn't pay attention, they ...... And the people of the Great Prince?"
The person being questioned smiled disdainfully, "Don't mention them, they're still sleeping!"
"Still sleeping?" after the leader asked, then his face was not very good to remember, the two groups of people did not know what was going on, came out on an errand, they actually drank flower wine, and they did not show signs of each other, the people of the Ejiang Royal Mansion first invited the most famous Qing Qier willow catkins here, this woman has a good reputation, often heard of her reputation in the capital, heard that her piano skills are good, many officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work, passing by this city will point her to accompany her.
The eldest prince's people did not grab the catkins, so they invited the other two Oiran Osmanthus and Yunxiang here, the two girls were good at dancing and singing, and the guest house where they lived was just sandwiched between the two of them, and they did not stop all night.
"If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were too noisy, we would definitely notice the movement of Sect Master Li and them leaving. ”
At night, with so many carriages and horses leaving, it was impossible not to make a sound, but they didn't hear it, because the sound of silk and bamboo from the courtyards on both sides was too disturbing.
"Perhaps, they made such a fuss last night, and they were also calculated. The leader said thoughtfully.
His henchmen were a little incredulous when they heard him say this, "Is it possible?"
"They are all veterans, how could they make such a low-level mistake?" the leader asked, raising his eyebrows.
The henchman scratched his head, "So what now?"
"We can only wait and see what happens. The leader paused, and then said, "Let everyone go back to sleep, and when they both get up, let's get up again." ”
"Will this work?"
"We couldn't sleep because of their noise last night, so we got up late in the morning, so we didn't notice that Sect Master Li was leaving. As soon as the leader's words fell, the henchman understood, and went out with a smile to tell everyone.
The same situation also happened to other people who followed Li Qianqian and them, some of them were the same as the leader, and they planned to put the blame on the people of the prince of Ejiang and the eldest prince, and some people did not believe in evil and got up to chase them out, but as soon as they chased them out, they found that this place was in all directions, who knew where Li Qianqian and they went.
"There's a tea house there, go ask and see if there's such a convoy passing by. ”
Li Qianqian and their cars alone are more than a dozen, plus the guards on horseback, such a convoy must be very eye-catching.
Who knows, no one saw such a convoy pass by.
"Can they still disappear out of thin air?" The spies, who had run through the four gates and asked all of them, waved their horsewhips angrily.
