Chapter Eighty-Five: Relieved
On the day of drinking laba porridge, Tu Hu hurried back home. Every time Tu Hu comes back, the happiest person is Xia He, not because Tu Hu will bring her gifts every time, but as soon as Tu Hu comes back, the scene on her account book is much better, and for a period of time, Xia He has been worried about the account book most of the time.
In the past, Xia He had never had this kind of worry, even though there was a secret camp in the mountains, but the family's treasury was always full, but this year is very different. Spending money is like running water. In fact, I earned a lot more this year than any other year, but I can't stand such a trick.
As soon as Tu Hu came back, it meant that there were things in the warehouse, and there was flowing water in the account, how could Xia He, as the housekeeper, not be happy. She didn't even look at the gift Tu Hu brought her, took the account book and lay on the table next to her and began to work.
"I thought you'd lose a lot this time." Li Zedao: "Wang Mingyi, that kid, sold me, didn't I let you dare to sink down and not show your head?"
"Childe, this matter reveals some strangeness, at the beginning of receiving the news sent by Childe, I was shocked, our business on Lulong's side is all based on Wang Mingyi's business route, he is backwater, I subconsciously prepared to escape. But just as I was about to run away, Wang Mingyi sent someone to bring me a letter."
"What did he say in the letter?"
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say a word, just a blank piece of paper." Tu Hu said: "Seeing this blank paper, I hesitated for a long time, and finally I was reluctant to make the capital and huge harvest this time, so I held the idea of becoming a benevolent person if I didn't succeed, and continued to do the business head-on. This one sold the son to the eldest son, but the other one still covered for us, if he hadn't covered it up, we would have lost a lot in this business."
"Things have developed to this point, I'm afraid that it is not Wang Mingyi who can be the master, and it is not Wang Mingshu or Cao Xin who is presiding over this matter, and it is more likely that Cao Xin approved of this matter." Li Ze muttered: "Cao Xin's attitude in this matter is quite interesting, it seems that he doesn't want to get involved in the dispute between our Li family's brothers, is he actually ready to bet on both ends?"
Tu Hu was happy: "Bet on both ends? This shows that Cao Xin is still very optimistic about Gongzi's Luo? If there is such a strong person to support it, Childe, then ......"
Li Ze waved his hand: "You think too much, Cao Xin's focus is still on Li Che's side, in my place, he is just a cold bystander, to see how far I can go. This can be seen from his handling of Yang Kai, on the one hand, he met Li Che's request to remove Yang Kai's county order, but the county commander who took over was frightened by the news that I let him go, and he ignored it. Yang Kai slashed down the dissidents in Wuyi and cleaned up the county lieutenant and county magistrate, but he just didn't know, you must know that the county lieutenant and county lieutenant are only qualified to be appointed in the state."
Tu Hu groaned: "Cao Xin is preparing to use Wuyi as his son's own land."
"Of course he won't give it for nothing." Li Ze said with a smile: "Whether it is whether your business this time is smooth and successful, or Yang Kai successfully controls Wuyi, this is a hidden investment he has in me, and he will pay him dividends in the future."
"He is so left and right, and he is not afraid of evil to the eldest son." Tu Hu laughed.
"When the official reaches his level, he already has the right to choose freely." Li Zedao: "And he did this, on the bright side, but people can't find any problems, for example, doing business with Wang Mingyi on Lu Long's side, Li Che may not know, and Yang Kai's matter, it's even better to say, you Li Che came in person, there is nothing to do, I, Cao Xin, am just a subordinate of your Li family, how dare I be rude to the little son?" There is reason and evidence, even if Li Che knows it, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and because of Cao Xin's attitude, he will try harder to win him over, if my guess is correct, Wang Mingren should be promoted."
Tu Hu gave a thumbs up: "The little boy is like a god. When I came back this time, I heard that Wang Mingren was now stronger than everyone else and was promoted to the rank of Ranger General, and the eldest prince himself was now only General Ning Yuan!"
"Something to be expected." Li Ze shrugged. But Cao Xin is really impressive, this person is indeed worth fighting for, although we are now in fact divided from Wuyi, but without his support, it will be difficult to go out in the future."
"Childe is right."
Li Ze frowned and thought for a while, a person like Cao Xin is naturally unprofitable, if he wants to use him, he has to be prepared to pay the price, he has to prepare in advance, don't get any benefits from him in the end, but be swallowed by him in one bite. Then you're really stealing chickens and rice.
Is this a possibility?
Of course.
If something goes wrong with what he is planning, he will definitely not hesitate to break himself, and then go to Li Che to ask for credit, as for himself, as long as he keeps himself alive, he can also give an account to Li Anguo and his own Laozi.
Originally, the old man placed himself in Wuyi, and he had this kind of thought, just live!
The problem is that even if Li Ze wants to live such a rice worm life, he doesn't want to live a suffocating life, if he doesn't have his own strength, the old man will return to the west in the future, and Li Che will not rectify himself to death.
But now that things have just come to an end, Li Ze has been thinking about it for a while and has no clue, so he simply doesn't want to. Putting the question behind him, he looked at Tu Hu and smiled: "The people in the caravan are all settled, right?"
"They have all been settled, those who have families have gone home, those who don't have families are now placed in the mansions in Wuyi County, Yang Kai has long been prepared for what he needs, and he is waiting for a lively New Year."
"After a year of hard work, it's time for them to relax and relax, and don't treat them badly with money." LI Zedao.
"Don't worry, Childe, I've settled it all."
"After the Chinese New Year, seeing that it is spring sowing, Lu Long can no longer go there, Henghai has to work harder, Hu Twelve has been doing well there for half a year, but I have already called him back, and now I am short of people. After the Chinese New Year, you go and preside over the overall situation."
"Hu Twelve, that kid is doing well, he was born to be a good material for this business." Tu Hu smiled: "Originally, I was a little worried, it is worthy of being the person that Gongzi likes, and he has personally taught him for so long, he is very quick to get started, and his methods are also powerful, it is hard to believe that he is still an eighteen-year-old young man."
"Hu Twelve is very smart, but his mind is too lively." Li Ze shook his head and said: "He is a double-edged sword, now I am not worried about his loyalty, but I am afraid that he will use too much force and break things."
Tu Hu heard the meaning of Li Ze's words: "If Gongzi is worried about what will happen to this person in the future, why don't you restrict him from now on?"
"No, once you restrain him, he can't do anything." Li Ze shook his head and said: "Besides, this is just my most malicious choice of human nature, and I really wronged him a little bit. I also told Xia He before, the important thing is that we do a good job ourselves, and if we do it well, people like Hu Twelve will definitely become a sharp knife in our hands."
"I see." Tu Hu said." But the arrangements that should be made still have to be done, and with the words of the childe, I have the bottom in my heart about what to do. Childe, there's one more thing, I ......"
Looking at the slaughtering tiger, Li Zeqi said: "If you have anything to say, our relationship is not ordinary people, what makes you embarrassed?"
"In Wuyi, I heard Chen Bing and Chu Sheng talk about some specific situations this time, and the eldest brother ......" Tu Hu looked at Li Ze with some embarrassment.
Li Ze suddenly understood what Tu Hu was worried about.
"You and your eldest brother have always been the people I trust the most, Lichun is very difficult this time, I understand, and I have never blamed him. You can rest assured." Li Ze said bluntly: "It would be a lie to say that I don't have any mustard in my heart, but this does not hinder the affection between us. Didn't your eldest brother reject Li Che cleanly in the end? I actually know that Lichun has always wanted to re-pounce and raise a gun, crisscrossing the battlefield. This time the choice was hard for him and I'm glad he chose me in the end. If he has failed me, how can I have any other opinion of him? No matter when, you and your eldest brother, or Xia He, are the people I trust the most and are the closest to me."
Tu Hu relieved his heart at this time, and Xia He, who was on the side, also raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Li Ze with a sweet smile.
