Meizhuang finally collected the rent, the grain was loaded into the warehouse, the rent was recorded, and the account book was handed over to Jiang Li. The busyness of the year has come to an end www.biquge.info the villagers and tenant farmers of Yizhuangzi are idle, and the New Year is approaching.

The Jiang family in the capital sent someone to Meizhuang to spread the old lady's words at this time, saying that they were waiting for Jiang Li to go back for the New Year.

Jiang Li fell in love with the unrestrained life here in Meizhuang, but he also knew that it was impossible not to go back. Therefore, I have the idea that it can be delayed for a day.

Especially remembering that the Xu family said that the Fan family was going to come to the door before the end of the year to propose marriage, Jiang Li refused to go back early. It is best to avoid the Fan family's family affairs, and he has no intention of fighting, and he doesn't want to go back and become the target of everyone.

I listened to the words from my grandmother, that is, I said that I would wait until I went back for the New Year, that is, as long as I went back before the New Year, it would be done? Although there was alienation in his words, and there was no enthusiasm he should have, Jiang Li didn't care, but instead secretly rejoiced that he had more free time.

Jiang Li didn't want to waste this rare time of freedom in vain, so he changed into men's clothes all day long and walked around with the 'imperial guard' Sixi, sometimes bringing Xiaoxiang and pothos.

Jiang Li is fourteen or fifteen years old, but his height is comparable to that of green pothos, and he is considered a medium height in the north, slightly taller than a woman in the south. Walking with Sixi only half a head lowered, the two of them are almost the same age, and they can't see the flaws at first glance when they wear men's clothes.

On this day, Jiang Li led Sixi to Yanziji.

Before Jiang Li heard the name Yanziji, he thought that it was just a section of tidal flat where boats could be temporarily moored, since there were people secretly engaged in smuggling places, it should be very secluded and barren to avoid people's eyes and ears. When I got off the bus at Yanziji, it was an eye-opener.

I saw the wide riverside surrounded by mountains, and rows of wooden houses were built against the mountains. In the middle of the rows of houses are a series of staggered and crisscrossed potholes, and under the low eaves on both sides of the avenue, all of them are made into stores. The shabby store is full of furnishings, operating all kinds of businesses, pedestrians come and go, selling and bargaining one after another, and the occasional business is booming.

Isn't this just a dirty little market? Jiang Li looked very disappointed, so he stopped and frowned slightly.

"These bazaars have only recently been set up, and the bazaars are just a façade, and the people who come and go are complicated, and the girl still wants to go inside?" Sixi asked.

Jiang Li didn't answer, turned his head to look at a white river not far away, and saw a simple wooden building not far away along the river, and the apricot curtain downstairs had a big book of wine, and he knew that it was a restaurant, and he wanted to go to the river.

Turning around, Sixi fell behind him, and was happily hooking up with a few idlers standing on the side of the avenue and talking nonsense. Sixi chubby round figure, a young and immature white fat face, a simple appearance when smiling, today he is wearing a azure tunic cotton robe, covered with a silver trim of the same color, there is a style and does not put on a show, a few idlers surrounded him in the middle, and talked to him enthusiastically, it seems to be very popular.

Sixi talked and laughed with them in his mouth, and his eyes glanced at Xiang Jiangli from time to time. Finally ended the conversation in a hurry, trotted up quickly, and said with a smile to Jiang Li: "It's a coincidence that we came today, I heard the people here say that there will be a smuggling cargo ship to unload the goods today, and they all regard us as big customers, so they are not enthusiastic!" ”

"Don't say it, our Sixi still has a bit of a big boss, no wonder they are your big customers." Jiang Li squinted at his round figure and said.

"Where do you see that I have a style, they see that you girl, oh son, you follow me by your side, and treat you as a big customer." Sixi said a little shyly.

"Oh?" Jiang Li blinked and glared at Sixi, puzzled. She deliberately wore a plain brocade robe with large sleeves and wide body today, with a simple hair tie and a plain face, but her complexion was more delicate, and her dress should be no different from that of ordinary Shi family children.

"No matter how much there is a retinue, it is only an entourage, with an entourage like me, they don't just want to slap you!" Sixi smiled, took a few steps forward, lowered his voice, looked left and right, and said: "They also said that the wind direction is not right recently, and there are mysterious characters on the dock from time to time to inquire about the smuggling cargo ship, and it is estimated that the business of this Yanziji is about to be discovered by the government." ”

Jiang Li heard Sixi say this, and looked at the people walking back and forth on the street, whether it was a villager dressed in a green coat and a small hat, or a pawn in a rough coat of Ge cloth, or a rich brocade man who passed by in a hurry, it seemed that none of them could figure out their true identities.

"You say, we shouldn't run into that gang of Jiangyang thieves here, right? The Qin Mansion is secretly arresting people, and the city gate will definitely not be able to leave, and this Yanziji's smuggling boat is a good choice. Si Xi's head was looking around thinking a lot, and it seemed that he took the waist card given to him by the Qin Mansion seriously.

Jiang Li purely came to Yanziji to watch the excitement, but he didn't care about the cat-and-mouse game between Jiangyang thieves and the prime minister of the dynasty.

"Let's go to the bamboo building by the river to sit down, it is estimated that this cargo ship is also about to arrive!" The tone of Sixi inquiry, sitting on a tall building and looking at the river view, is in line with the meaning of the river. The two walked up to the restaurant.

There were already a lot of people sitting in the spacious and bright restaurant, and the smiling man led the two to a table near the window, Jiang Li sat down and looked out the window, turned back to Sixi and complained: "Didn't you say that there is a cargo ship?" Why can't you even see the dock? ”

Sixi replied in a low voice: "The big cargo ships from the south can't reach Yanziji, and all that haunts here are some loach boats, and they have their own places to drop off their goods, and they pack the smuggled goods and transport them here for trading." You wait patiently, it is estimated that this time will come, and someone will call us then. ”

"Looks like you're familiar with smuggling?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows with some displeasure.

"That's it. I used to run errands for the shopkeeper Ge. Sixi replied lightly.

"Our business is also involved in smuggling?" Jiang Li was stunned. "How much did this shopkeeper hide from me?"

Sixi snorted disapprovingly and said, "If the business in this capital is big, who doesn't have any smuggled goods?" This is also because the world is not peaceful, Nan Chen and Dayan have been fighting for a long time, and the border has cut off trade between the two countries. Nan Chen's silk has been famous all over the world since ancient times, the country is turbulent, and the people below have to live, but the output of this silk is plummeting, and the price is ridiculously expensive. However, the more expensive it is, the more it is in short supply, and there is no way for Ge Shopkeeper to do so. If you don't do this business, others will do it, and our silk shop will have to close sooner or later if the opponent robs the source of customers. ”

"When the silk shop is closed, I'll do something else, isn't there a tea shop, a rice shop, a salt shop, and a pawn shop? It is said that my grandfather in the south of the city gave my mother a tungsten mine that has not been mined? "Jiang Li is not ambiguous, and he can't do anything to commit smuggling. It's risky and unpleasant. “

"Whew! It also opens a mine, which is more expensive than all the shops. More than ten years ago, we submitted the approval documents to the government office, but the start-up capital for this mine could not be prepared for a while. The business of more than a dozen shops is not as good as a year after year, and we have to bear a lot of expenses for the Jiang family in our three rooms, and it is not easy for Ge to be the shopkeeper! ”

Seeing that the stupid Sixi could say this, it seems that Mei Bo has considered letting his grandson manage Mei Zhuang's industry. It's just that now Jiang Li has a new idea: "Sixi, I think it's really wrong for you to let you manage the thousands of hectares of fields in Meizhuang!" ”

"Huh?" Sixi blinked his eyes, and his honest appearance was a little aggrieved, and he didn't know where he was wrong. But seeing that Jiang Li did not look unhappy on his face, he was smiling warmly at himself: "Don't be nervous, I'm praising you." ”

Jiang Wei sighed: It seems that this management industry is really not as simple as looking at the account book to manage the accounts, Ge is the shopkeeper, you can keep it, and you can only rely on yourself to find a way.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Who is running the boat arranged by Shopkeeper Ge?" Bring me to know. ”

"Ge Hai, the son of the shopkeeper, I just don't know if we have the goods today." Four joys returned. "It has always been my dream to be able to run a boat with Ge Haige, but my grandfather is not allowed!"

"I'll find a chance to talk to Mabel!" Jiang Li took a sip of tea and frowned. Tea is not good.

"Really!" Sixi's eyebrows lit up. How many times have I said it, even Shopkeeper Ge agreed, but Grandpa just didn't allow it. But this little lord came forward differently. Also, isn't this little master's attitude to agree with Shopkeeper Ge's approach?

The man came to serve the food, and the master and servant both stopped.

Someone at a table behind Jiang Li said loudly: "Man, bring another jar of wine!" Sixi inadvertently glanced at him, and Huo Di got up and stood up.
