"Is there any water?" Li Xiaokuan asked the crowd.

Someone heard that he untied a water bladder from the horse on his side and threw it to Li Xiaokuan.

Li Xiaokuan took it, took out some of the snatching soup that he had deliberately kept from his pocket, broke off a small piece, crushed it into powder on his fingertips, sprinkled it into the man's mouth, and then opened the water bladder and carefully dripped a few drops into it.

The man's throat rolled unconsciously, and the decoction went down his stomach, and the man's breathing gradually became longer, and his complexion became more and more ruddy.

After doing everything, Li Xiaokuan got up and left.

Dr. Deng took the pulse forward suspiciously, and was surprised to find that the person's pulse was already stable, but it was a little weak, as if he had fallen asleep.

"It's okay, just get some rest. ”

Doctor Deng got up, nodded at the girl and said, the girl let out a long sigh of relief when she heard the words, and when she looked up, she looked around blankly, and she had disappeared from Engong, and only heard passers-by talking.

"Who did you say was that man?"

"Boss Wei, his shop will open on East Street tomorrow, it seems to be called Treasure Pavilion. ”

"It's really a strange person, such a strange person, what kind of store is he going to open?"

"I don't know, he didn't say it, but I'll see it when it opens tomorrow." ”

"Also, let's go see it tomorrow?"

"Good ......"

East Street, Jubao Pavilion, Boss Wei...... The girl silently wrote down these terms.

......

Li Xiaokuan squeezed out the crowd and prepared to go back to the restaurant.

found that Bai Lao had stood at the door of the restaurant at some point, looking at him with a smile, and there was a person with dark hair and a slender face standing next to him, but he felt very old.

The man beside Bai Lao also nodded to Li Xiaokuan, and asked, "Little friend, I don't know what method you used just now to bring people back to life?"

"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Li Xiaokuan briefly introduced.

"CPR?" the man groaned for a moment, then smiled, "Interesting!"

"It's a pity that I still have important things to do, and I can't talk to Xiaoyou, if Xiaoyou doesn't dislike it, you can come to Lin's house to find me with this order, and I will definitely entertain you." ”

After speaking, the man handed Li Xiaokuan a token engraved with the word Lin.

"Brother Bai, I'll go first. The man waved at Bai Lao.

"Brother Lin walks slowly. Bai Lao hurriedly returned the salute.

After the man left, Li Xiaokuan asked, "Who is that person?"

"The head of the Lin family, Lin Baicao, has secretly helped us a lot over the years......

Bai Lao lowered his voice and said in Li Xiaokuan's ear.

"Wei Gongzi, why are you here?"

"I have something to worry about Bai Lao. ”

"Come in and say. ”

Bai Lao led Li Xiaokuan into the Huimeng Building, and went up to the third floor, where there was a small room with a simple layout, which looked like Bai Lao's usual office.

"The King's ......"

Bai Lao closed the door tightly, turned around and bowed down to Li Xiaokuan, but was held by Li Xiaokuan.

"No need to be polite...... Li Xiaokuan had a headache: "You can tell other people that you don't have to bow when you see me in the future, whether you are outside or in private, just treat me as a junior." ”

"This ......"

"Beware of the ...... of the wall"

Bai Lao's expression was pale when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly to indicate that he had written it down.

"Then Gongzi Wei is here today, but what's the matter?"

"Uh...... Nothing else. ”

Li Xiaokuan said a little embarrassed: "I just want to ask Bai Lao to lend me some money......

Bai Lao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he had thought that something big had happened, and it was worth the king to come to him in person.

"How much does Childe need, but it doesn't matter, I will go back to the dream floor to get together, and I should get 300,000 gold yuan, but it is not very convenient to move, and it will take two days." ”

"300,000?" Li Xiaokuan was a little frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "Not so much." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Bai Lao thinks that with my current status, how much is appropriate. ”

Bai Lao thought about it carefully: "Gongzi came from Xishu, and he was the death of Wei Jingnian, and Wei Jingnian had some reputation in Wangbei City over the years, and his assets should be around five hundred gold yuan, so it is not a problem to have dozens of hundreds of gold yuan coins in his hand on the grounds that he left a part of it to hand over to Gongzi." ”

"But Childe, a hundred gold yuan coins, will there be a little less?"

Li Xiaokuan was secretly surprised in his heart, he was really rich in big business, and even a hundred gold yuan coins were less in his mouth. This 100 gold yuan is put into the homes of ordinary peasants and workers, even if it does not count the expenses, it will not be able to save for decades.

"Enough is enough...... I think it's too much. ”

"Then I'll inform the bookkeeper now...... No, take it directly from me, and leave no trace. ”

Li Xiaokuan nodded: "Don't worry, how is the matter of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"This ......"

There was a hesitant expression on Bai Lao's face, which was keenly captured by Li Xiaokuan.

"Something's wrong?"

"Not really. Bai Lao explained: "We went out to agitate according to your instructions before, and there were quite a few merchants who responded, and many agreed on the spot. ”

"It's just that we originally targeted some small and medium-sized merchants, because we felt that such small merchants were easy to control. However, some big businessmen led by Zuixianlou don't know where to get the news and want to join, and we are now discussing how to deal with it......"

"This is a good thing!" Li Xiaokuan said immediately.

"Isn't the participation of these big businessmen equivalent to strengthening the power of the Chamber of Commerce, which is completely consistent with our original intention, what is there to worry about?"

Bai Lao seemed puzzled when he heard this.

"But in that case, wouldn't we lose control of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Why do we want the Chamber of Commerce to take control?" Li Xiaokuan asked rhetorically.

"Didn't I say at first, the power of the Chamber of Commerce belongs to all merchants, not just one, if the power is controlled by everyone, then once those small families join, isn't it equivalent to signing a deed of sale?"

"What I want to create now is just a platform for all kinds of merchants to communicate and cooperate, so that we can develop steadily under its shadow, rather than a Yiyan group, and it is not too late to consider the group's affairs when we have more wings. ”

Bai Lao nodded as if he didn't understand, although he had never heard of any platform or group, but he still understood the general meaning of Li Xiaokuan.

"Then according to the childe's wishes, make this chamber of commerce as big as possible, and tomorrow I will organize a banquet and invite merchants of all sizes in the city to witness the establishment of the weeds chamber of commerce. ”

Li Xiaokuan talked to Bai Lao about a lot of detailed matters about the Chamber of Commerce, and the more he chatted, the brighter Bai Lao's eyes became, and he said that he seemed to have returned to the time when he was chasing his dreams as a teenager, and compared to that time, this dream was no longer out of reach.

"Bai Lao, how much is the shop on that part of East Street worth?"

Before leaving, Li Xiaokuan asked thoughtlessly.
