Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wise Man
Today since the afternoon, it is very dry, the weather is gloomy, the dark clouds seem to be rolling down at any time, but the rain just doesn't fall, it makes people even more annoying, at night, God seems to be really unable to hold back, crackling, heavy rain poured, not much time, there is a lot of water in the courtyard of the Ming Book Garden.
Lying on the bed and listening to the rain, Li Ze leaned on the head of the bed, although he was holding a book in his hand, his attention was not on the book, but tilted his head, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the roof and hitting the window lattice, Xia He was still busy cleaning up in the house, except for the lamp above the bedside, everything else was extinguished. After doing all this, Fang Cai came over, and seeing that Li Ze still didn't lie down, he took a pillow and stuffed it behind Li Ze's waist.
"Master, I'm tired these days, go to bed early." Standing at the head of the bed, Xia He said with some distress: "After going out for a few days, I have lost a lot of weight, and my chin is sharper."
Li Ze touched his chin with a smile, "No, the food in the secret camp is still good. Come, Xia He, sit."
Patting the edge of the bed, Li Ze motioned for Xia He to sit down and speak.
Sitting meekly on the edge of the bed, he tucked the quilt for Li Ze, "The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and at this time, it is most likely to get sick. The master himself is a little careful, and if there is something at night, he will call him a slave."
"Okay, I see, I'm in good shape. Come on, sit up, sit up like this, it's uncomfortable." Li Ze patted Xia He's shoulder and motioned for him to get into bed.
Xia He took off his shoes with a red face and sat on the edge of the bed, the two of them used to lie down and talk like this, but today Li Ze suddenly came to say that, and now the action of the two of them is somewhat warm in Xia He's eyes. The body is a little stiff.
Seeing Xia He's appearance, Li Ze also seemed to have a thatch in his heart, and he panicked, but thinking about his age, he could only force himself to hold on and force himself to restrain himself.
"Xia He, what do you think of the twelve?"
Xia He's elbows rested on his knees, the whole person was huddled together, and her two white little hands were on her chin, a girl with status like her naturally didn't do rough work at ordinary times, just washing her and Li Ze's underwear. It is a pair of slender and white hands, which is extremely durable.
"Master, I think Twelve's mind is too smart." After thinking for a while, Xia He said: "When I first saw him today, I felt a little pity for him, but later, I didn't feel so much."
"You're saying he's too smart?" Li Ze asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Xia He nodded: "People who are too smart have a lot of thoughts, and such people are not easy to control."
"Silly girl." Li Ze stretched out his hand and flicked it on Xia He's forehead, "But beside the master, you can't always use a straight person, right?" Some things really have to be done by smart people! For example, if you do business, you ask Boss Tu to do it, but I'm afraid that I won't even have pants to wear. So, we're going to have to use the same people as we used to be."
"But now there's a problem." Xia He's little face wrinkled, and a Sichuan character squeezed out between his brows.
"In this world, where is there a perfect thing, when we enjoy the benefits, we naturally have to take some risks." Li Zedao: "At the beginning, no one was available, so we could only use them, in the past few years, they have also created huge profits for us, if there are no people, think about it, what do the hundreds of people in our secret camp eat and wear?" In the beginning, there was nothing in the secret camp, and at that time, it was really like a lot of money, and even now, they can only provide one-third of the food, but what can this help? The real place where the secret camp spends money is not on food."
"Yes." Xia He nodded.
"Three years have passed, we have come to a better place, in fact, from the very beginning, I have already instructed Tu Hu to recruit and train some young people in Yixingtang, and now these people, in Yixingtang, are already middle-level forces, so I will say that I want to move Yixingtang." Li Ze sneered: "Some people, probably think that we can't play without them, and I don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for our large amount of money to invest in it, didn't we take out one good idea after another, Tu Er and they worked tirelessly, can they have today's achievements?" Give them a little color and open a dye shop, then I'll just pour them all over the place."
"Are you going to pick them up?" Xia He looked at Li Ze and said cautiously. The last time she heard Li Ze say the word "picking", there were a few more graves on the back mountain, and now she felt a little unbearable in her heart.
"You're so soft-hearted." Li Zedao: "But for these people, it doesn't necessarily have to be like this, and look at how deep they are trapped, if they are not trapped, then let them retire honorably, become a rich man, and sit at home every year to share dividends, then it's okay. Our business is destined to get bigger and bigger, and if they get to know each other, it is not impossible for them to become addicted to a huge fortune in the future."
"That's good." Xia He laughed easily: "In this way, many people can also see that there is a good life with the master, and the master is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge."
"You're to the point." Li Ze laughed and twisted Xia He's upturned nose, "But, don't expect too much from them, people, once they taste the taste of scolding Fang Xuan, if you want them to give up all this, they may not be willing!" Why would anyone intervene now, isn't this the result of them luring the wolf into the house? They want to bring in a strong foreign aid, first, to dilute our shares, and second, to use these powerful people to suppress us, they must have some private agreements to ensure that they can always occupy the power of Yixingtang, if this is the case, I can still let them go, but if it is the third case, if they want to drive me out of Yixingtang, then hehehe......"
"Don't they know that it is because of us that Yixingtang has come to this point? Back then, those people almost closed down the church." Xia He said in surprise.
"People who are hungry for profit, where can they think of this? They only think that they have worked so hard to run Yee Hing Tong to the scale it is today, but most of the profits have been taken away by us." Li Ze sneered. It's overly clever."
Xia He said suddenly: "So today, the Lord is right to Twelve, so that he will not dare to have a different heart."
"Twelve is still not quite the same as them, he does want to come out, but he came out of the secret camp, and it was a breeze to know that we were going to clean him up, so ah, he would be very well-behaved."
Xia Hepo laughed out loud.
"In this way, we can ensure that he is loyal to his master."
"There must be people who will always be loyal to me, just like Xia He, like Tu Da Tu Er, these people who are inseparable from my life, but others, I can't say for sure, as long as the interests are big enough, maybe they will betray me, it depends on your master's ability." Li Ze said lightly.
Xia He looked at Li Ze with some ignorance.
