Dou Qi's confession listed many personnel secrets about the brocade industry in Shuzhong, and it was not limited to ordinary storage of goods.

For example, the bottom-up transaction with the aborigines of Shuzhong, the official slaves of Yizhou's private storage, and even the issue of raw materials such as dyes and cocoons are involved, and the content can be described as extremely rich.

Even Li Tong, a person who doesn't understand this kind of handicraft, can feel that if he completely controls these joints in his hands, even if he can't completely control the Shuzhong Jinye, he will definitely occupy an important place.

explained so clearly, Li Tong could probably guess that Dou Qi's mind was definitely not to give everything to survive. This is nothing more than a sign of honesty and selflessness, and then there is the complication of affairs to show that he is indispensable and important in this, so that Li Tong has to rely on him.

This little abacus is quite slippery, and Li Tong is indeed a little melancholy, and he can't find a suitable person to take over all this.

This piece of information involves a series of links from manufacturing to sales, which can be said to be the essence of the Dou family's years of operation.

But right now, Li Tong really doesn't have the right person to take care of these things.

Nowadays, he still lacks talents who can take charge of himself, and even Liu Youqiu, who has been experienced and talented in recent years, is afraid that it will be difficult to grasp it all at first glance. And Liu Youqiu is now in Longshang, and the mess he is responsible for is much more important than this matter.

Some other former members either have official identities and have many scruples, or they are biased and lack of ability to take on important responsibilities.

In fact, if Dou Qi's clever ghost has fewer ideas, Li Tong may consider keeping this person. But now, if he really wants to use Dou Qi, he must arrange for someone who is also clever enough to watch this guy and prevent this guy from turning back.

After all, although his current career has gradually become large-scale, it basically still belongs to the category of seeing the light and dying, and he really can't stand the big toss. And there are more and more people who are closely related to him, once it is exposed, then the consequences are no longer as simple as killing his family.

Dou Qi is really a ruthless character, although Li Tong often made dangerous schemes in the old years, such as crashing to death in Mingtang and hanging himself on Ciwutai, but he just thought about it, but Dou Qi could directly kill himself when the crisis did not occur, which shows that his character is not lacking in ruthlessness.

If Li Tong's subordinates have the right person to target him, then why use him again?

Putting aside the troubles of candidates, it is better to preliminarily determine the credibility of this information at this time, and naturally seek advice from Yang Li, a Shu merchant woman.

After Yang Li arrived, she took this paper scroll from the king's hand, and after a little flipping, her face was shocked: "No wonder the group pattern of the folk weaving is dissatisfied, it turns out that it is going to be woven around!" The red lion color was originally used in July, what is this material...... Found it, it turned out to be exclusively here......"

People who do not have an in-depth understanding of the Shu brocade industry cannot appreciate the important value of Dou Qi's confession. Although Yang Li's family is not mainly engaged in Shu brocade, she is in Shu Township, of course, she is also involved.

After a cursory look, her face was shocked, and she sighed: "This record is really a treasure book, if you are in the township, I don't know how many people want to spend all their money!" Thousands of dollars are easy to accumulate, and magic methods are hard to find! The king can get this, it seems that the Dou family has fallen under the king's power, which is really gratifying! ”

As she spoke, she looked at the king with a happy face, and her eyes couldn't hide her admiration. When she first entered Xijing, she had seen how the Dou family's eyes were above the top, and now she was impressed by the king silently, and even this kind of family heirloom was presented, and her heart was naturally full of surprise and joy.

Li Tong didn't tell Yang Li about the details, but just said with a smile: "It seems that there are a lot of skills to be learned in this, which is worth taking a closer look." In this case, then without further ado, Mrs. Yang, you quickly send a letter to inform your family, and first collect the goods involved. The proceeds will be temporarily stored in Chengdu for remittance of flying money. ”

After hearing this, Yang Li hurriedly said: "The family is just a contemptible person in the countryside, although it has the convenience of living on the surface for a long time, it is really difficult to apply big things. Or ask the king to send manpower, and my family's apprentices will guide them into the realm to find ......"

After thinking about it, Li Tong nodded and said, "That's fine, I will arrange a group of soldiers to be on standby at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and I will enter Sichuan in parallel with your family in the near future." ”

After the Qinling Warriors were drawn out, a new group of members were added to maintain the trade path. However, now that the flying money business is about to be launched, and there is gold and silver everywhere in Shuzhong, the trade routes of Qinling are relatively no longer so important.

Especially in the Doujia industry, there is a main road through the Qinling Mountains, and at this time, it is of little significance to maintain the winding path opened up by the old clothing society.

It's not that he can't trust Yang Li, after all, there is still a layer of relationship with Yang Xianzong, and they are already very close to each other. However, at present, it is only limited to this pair of Yang brothers and sisters, and as for whether the families in their township can really entrust them with heavy wealth, this point is still reserved. Yang Li also knew this measure, and did not open her mouth to respond directly.

Originally, Li Tong also planned to transport a sum of goods to Shuzhong in the near future for the initial development of the flying money business, but now it is labor-saving. The Dou clan has accumulated over the years, even if it is only about the wealth stored in Shuzhong, it is an astonishing amount, even if it can only be collected partially, it is more than enough to deal with the initial flying money business.

In terms of goods and goods, it is temporarily used for this purpose, and as for the intertwined interest relationship formed between the Dou family and those Shu merchants for many years, Li Tong doesn't care much about it. With the flying money business in hand, as long as it can be successfully operated, and the nature of businessmen seeking profits, those people will naturally make judgments that are beneficial to themselves, and they will not worry about not being able to disintegrate.

In addition, there is also the problem of private use by officials and slaves. There are a large number of brocade households in Shu, and a considerable part of them are occupied by the powerful families by various means and accepted for private use.

This is actually a common phenomenon nowadays, for example, Wang Bo, the fourth son of the early Tang Dynasty, was killed because he secretly hid official slaves, and his own conviction also affected his father, which also caused Wang Bo's untimely death.

These official slave brocade households, unlike the slaves and maids raised by the Dou family, are really not easy to take over directly. After all, Li Tong is in the officialdom of Shuzhong, but he does not have the in-depth management of the Dou family.

And Yang Li's family has a commendable relationship in officialdom, that is, a relative serving as a state soldier, which is not qualified to cover up this matter, and even Li Tong can't eat it if he sends it over as a political achievement.

It is still necessary to send someone to Shuzhong to stand in the officialdom, without the protection of the official, Li Tong is also worried that no matter how much the arrangement is, it will not be safe.

This matter obviously can't be done in Xijing, so he can only return to Shendu City to see if he can fight for one or two positions, otherwise he won't be able to digest the Dou family's business in Shuzhong.

Li Tong thought for a moment, and smiled at Yang Li again: "Yang Niangzi has lived in the township for a long time, I don't know if you have heard of any villager Shaoyan to be called?" ”

Yang Li smiled bitterly when she heard this: "The Han family is just from Jia's humble court, and most of the contacts are such portals. For example, my second brother is already a candidate for the family, and now he is only fortunate that the king does not give up. As for the talents of the countryside, the concubines are really ...... However, I heard that there was a candidate, and my uncle used to study in the state, and he often praised him. His name is Cui Xun, a son of the Cui family, a famous northern clan, and lives in Chengdu with his widowed mother......"

"Cui Chu?"

Li Tong just asked casually, he didn't want to really ask for a little gain, he had an impression of this Cui Wei, or because some people in later generations argued that he might be the real author of "Burrow". Whether it is true or not, Li Tong doesn't know, and he doesn't know much about it, but he can be regarded as writing down the name of this person. can leave a name behind, there should also be something remarkable.

Li Tong asked a few more words about the situation related to Cui Wei, but Yang Li didn't know much about it, just heard a few words from his family, if it wasn't for the king's inquiry, searching his stomach and scraping his stomach, he really couldn't think of it, and his knowledge was really limited.

"In this way, please add a letter to Mrs. Yang, please tell Uncle Ling, if that Cui Wei is interested, you can guide him to the north to see me in Liangjing."

Li Tong is also eager for talents, and he doesn't want to miss this point of personnel who talk more than nothing, anyway, he just remarks casually. If that Cui Wei can really be used, it can also be said to be beneficial but not costly.

He already has a headache here because of the lack of talent, and he doesn't want to have trouble coming to the door next. After the preliminary arrangements were made, I went back to my room to take a nap to catch up on sleep, but not long after I fell asleep, Yang Siqiao hurriedly came to say: "Wang, it's not good, Shi County Lieutenant was ambushed by a strongman in western Beijing and was injured in Beijing!" ”

When Li Tong heard this, he became completely sleepy, got up and asked urgently, "How is his injury?" Is it life-threatening? Was it deliberately targeted, or was it something else? ”

"I don't know, he just sent a house slave to sue, and the person is in Chang'an County right now."

Yang Siqiao shook his head and said.

Li Tong got up in his clothes and quickly ordered: "Prepare the horse quickly, I will go and see it for myself." ”

He was a little impatient, worried about Shi Sizhen's situation, but also suspected that there was any conspiracy to target.

Now he has a lot of old members, but there are not many people who can really make a living, Shi Sizhen, the second generation of Hu Ren officials, is one, although he has only served as the lieutenant of Jingxi County for a short time, but he has provided great help to the activities of the old clothes society. If there is any mistake in this subordinate officer, it will be a big bruise in his career, and he will inevitably be sad emotionally.

Since he came to Xijing, he has been making small moves by himself, first Wu Youyi, then the Dou family, and now that his own people have encountered this kind of thing, of course, he will inevitably speculate on the conspiracy.

Seeing that the king was like this, Yang Siqiao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went out to gather the soldiers in the mansion, escorted the king out of Quchifang, and hurried to the Chang'an County party in the west of the city.
