Finally, after three depressing days, Master Li also arranged the big and small things in the family, especially repeatedly emphasized that in the future, the affairs of the family must be respected by the eldest lady. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe fifth-generation owner of the Li Family Tea House is Li Huizhi.

Li Huizhi's family has become the center of gravity of the family, which makes her very uncomfortable, and Master Li told her everything related to business at home, which made her suddenly panic.

She came to Datang just to be a tourist, but now she has to be asked to carry such a heavy burden, how can she not be afraid? She just hoped that in any book she had read before, she could find a solution to this crisis, but alas, no!

After breakfast, Master Li was going to go to Yanyu Building with Li Huizhi for an appointment.

On such a major occasion, since Li Huizhi is the next head of the Li family, she naturally needs to gain more knowledge. And she herself has no intention of avoiding it.

It's still from the canal embankment to the Yanyu Tower, and it was stolen here last time! Li Huizhi remembered the scene of that day and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Smoke and Rain Building will arrive soon.

This more than 100-year-old restaurant has witnessed the prosperous moment of the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, it is necessary to witness the historic moment of the Li Family Tea House. But the restaurant is still just a restaurant, and the carved beams and paintings only exude its usual luster. However, the participants had no intention of appreciating its weight through historical precipitation.

Master Li originally only asked someone to book a private room on the second floor, but he didn't expect the crowd of visitors today! There are dozens of people! In this way, almost all the big merchants in this county have arrived, and I can't imagine that there is such a situation!

In this way, they had to take over the second floor, and some people who had already dined on the second floor saw that the situation did not seem to be good today, so they quickly changed to sit downstairs.

Everyone did not come here for the food, and although some food and drink were quickly served, everyone had no intention of eating it, and waited for a formal meeting for a while.

Li Huizhi noticed that there were three empty seats on the most conspicuous table on the second floor, and other latecomers, even if they went far to find an empty seat, would not sit in those three seats.

Are they waiting for something important?

At this moment, Li Huizhi can no longer put herself in the position of a tourist, Master Li appointed herself as the eldest lady of the Li family, which is tantamount to giving orders in danger, this situation, she doesn't know how the old man will deal with it, and she herself is not sure at all!

Because she didn't know much about human nature more than a thousand years ago, and she didn't know what the dozens of people in front of her were going to say, the only thing she knew was that she would not compromise and ask for back the money she had lent to the tea farmers.

Although dozens of people had already arrived on the second floor, they were still quiet, and they didn't even discuss, as if they were waiting for someone to preside over the overall situation.

Finally, with the sound of "knock, knock" on the wooden staircase, someone went upstairs.

Li Huizhi almost screamed: it turned out to be the three major rice merchants who were full of momentum!

I didn't expect them to be such an important existence! When the people saw them enter, they all stood up automatically, and watched them come in, like some court dignitary.

The three of them looked solemn, and did not look back at the rest, and sat on the seats that had been empty for a long time with great momentum. After three pairs of sharp eyes scanned the audience, the person surnamed Deng replied with a serious word: "Sit!" ”

So they all sat down together, and no one made a noise.

I didn't expect that the smiling face and peacemaker surnamed Deng that day would have such a majestic side. Where is he sitting here at the moment, like an ordinary businessman? It's like Taishou is here!

The one surnamed Zhang was always expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, but it could always be seen that he was unhappy.

The ancient grain merchants could do this! Li Huizhi was secretly surprised. Huzhou is a place of grain production, in addition to supplying the local, there is also a considerable part of the grain produced here to supply the north, and now the war, the demand is even greater than imagined. If he can do business to such a point, he must have a very great relationship with the senior officials of the DPRK and China.

And such a businessman with great influence not only only apportioned a dead letter, but even in the years of war, he did not sympathize with rice farmers at all, and was unwilling to assume a little social responsibility!

Master Li straightened his clothes, strode forward, and sat down on the table of the three of them.

Today's banquet situation is already very distinct: Master Li is alone facing the county's large and small merchants led by the three major rice merchants. Of course, the county's large and small merchants acted completely on the faces of these three people.

Li Huizhi felt that one of her hearts was in her throat, and she had never felt this way in the court before, even when facing the most powerful opponents!

"Master Deng has always been good!" Master Li picked up the wine glass, held it in a respectful posture to him, and took the lead in saying hello.

Master Deng was in the first place, neither serving a cup nor returning the gift, but only smiled coldly: "Master Li did this, but he broke the rules of doing business!" ”

He held his own identity, he didn't even bother to make a noise, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the topic, and the atmosphere instantly increased.

Everyone present looked at Master Li.

As we all know, Master Li has always shown himself as a benevolent and humble person, but today I don't know how he will deal with it.

Master Li paused, unhurried, put the glass of wine to his lips, drank it gently, and said calmly: "Rules? The rules were originally set by people, but now the situation is different, we can't always stick to the rules! ”

"What a big breath! You just want to change the rules? One of the people next to him couldn't help it, and immediately broke out by smashing the cup. It was the mad lion of that day, Master Zhu. I can't imagine that his temper has always been so hot.

Li Huizhi pinched a handful of sweat for the master.

"Master Zhu, when we do business, we have to do business with people, and when people are gone, who else do business with us?" Master Li was still calm.

"Everyone's gone? Joke, why do you say that everyone is gone! It was still Master Zhu who spoke.

Master Li's eyes slanted towards him, he smiled coldly, a person who has never collected taxes and only paid an empty number, doesn't he know that the number he vacated needs to be filled in by others?

Li Buhumility and arrogance said: "Master Zhu goes to various villages to buy so much rice and grain every year, but he doesn't know how heavy their taxes are!" This time the levy is even worse......"

"Joke! Will the taxes imposed by the imperial court also be counted on our heads? The war has to be apportioned, and it is not something we can control. Your Master Li is rich and rich, but you don't want to think about the difficulties of our brothers, which family didn't share tens of thousands of taels of military expenses? This time it was Master Deng who said it, he said as he looked at the person present, he thought that this sentence was said for everyone.

Everyone craned their necks to watch.

Master Li slowly stood up, looked around, saluted, and said slowly: "Everyone should know that Li's apportionment this time is 50,000 taels, which is tantamount to Mount Tai pressing the top, it is not a secret, Li also once thought that the eight achievements of the family business that broke out from the ancestors were going to be lost in my hands!" However, as long as there is a little way, I am still willing to persevere, can't we business people really talk about conscience? At most, it's just like paying for the goods in advance! If our lips are dead and our teeth are cold, we should live and die with the tea farmers! The world is in chaos, can we still sit in the restaurant to eat and chat like today? ”

An unpretentious word, but it is the most authentic businessman's voice, and someone can be faintly seen nodding secretly. Li Huizhi has never seen the master so righteous and strict.

The north is in chaos, what good life can the merchants of the north have, everyone knows that the south is the only remaining peaceful land, if the war really resumes, the result will be clear at a glance.

But everyone was restrained by the reaction of the three people at the middle table, and no one said anything.

Master Zhu stood up suddenly.

If you want to pay for goods in advance, that's something he never thought about, it is common to lower the price of rice and raise the price, let alone arrears of rice or something. If you want him to agree with Master Li's opinion, it is tantamount to a fantasy. Besides, since Pangu opened the world, I have never heard of anyone doing business like this!

"That's a good point! Unless you want to say that your family can wrap up the people of our county? I'd like to see how good you are! If you can't do it, don't do it, stop it as soon as possible! Master Zhu's face was gloomy.

"I hope that everyone here will be like me and be able to ......" Master Li said half of his words, and was immediately snatched away by Master Zhu.

"The surname is Li, we don't need to talk nonsense! Whatever you say about going to heaven, you shouldn't do that and drag everyone into the water! This subsidy money, you have to return it, and if you don't return it, you have to return it! Master Zhu was imposing and spoke fiercely. It is conceivable that the messy things at the door of Li's house these days are nine times out of ten caused by him.

His attitude has shown that I have at least a hundred ways to get you into line!

With his momentum, you can imagine how much he can do whatever he wants in front of all the businessmen.

The atmosphere condensed again.

"I've just said it today, even if I die, I'm going to continue this thing!" Master Li suddenly turned up the volume, and the momentum came out, and it seemed even more righteous and strict, and the image of a generation of Confucian businessmen who would rather not bend convinced everyone!

Li Huizhi was already in a cold sweat, but at this moment, her heart was suddenly surging, she didn't expect that the master would also have a day when the small universe would explode! His momentum is no weaker than that of a wild lion!

"Death?! What hope do you have for death? You're just dead, aren't you still there? Don't you even care? Master Zhu's tone was even more arrogant.

"You ......" Even robbers have a creed, and they can't help their wives and children, and this dog thing is not as good as even a robber! Old Man Li trembled with anger, and with a "wow", a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth.

These two **** are exhausted, and when they hear these words at this moment, they rush to attack, and it's no wonder if they don't vomit blood!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Li Huizhi sat at the table behind her, she didn't see Master Li vomiting blood, she just didn't expect things to be so difficult! The resistance of one person alone can change the whole thing. I don't know what to do in today's situation.

"Whew......"

Suddenly, there was the sound of an object breaking through the air. Everyone looked up and saw that a short sword of unknown material was hovering on the roof of the second floor of the restaurant. It circled in a big circle before flying to the middle. There was a "snap" sound, which happened to be inserted in front of Master Zhu on the table in the middle.

Everyone exclaimed "ah" in unison......

Master Zhu was startled, and when he looked down, the tip of the short sword was not an inch deep on the table, and along with the tip of the sword, there was a fly, one of the fly's legs was inserted into the table, and he couldn't move anymore, but the other legs were still moving quickly, as if he wanted to escape from the ban, but where could he escape?

There is such a precise swordsmanship in the world! If this sword was trying to cut his own throat just now, how could he still be alive at this moment? Master Zhu touched his neck, and there was a faint chill.
