Coincidentally, this house is very close to the Li family, and after a few streets, it will be there.

Li Zhongyi stood at the door and looked at it, and then asked the bottle to call the door. When they heard that the new owner of the house had arrived, all the servants rushed to the door and fell to their knees.

Li Zhongyi put his hands behind his back, passed through the wall, and directly opposite was the main hall where the host entertained guests, and continued to walk forward, which was the inner flower hall for receiving distinguished guests, and then the back house where the foreign man stopped.

After a full circle, Li Zhong Yi appeared, although the area here is not large, but the layout is quite exquisite.

Not to mention that Li Zhongyi does not have many people, even if dozens of people live in, there is no problem.

In the back house, Li Zhongyi chose the right wing room as his bedroom at random. It has plenty of sunshine, good light, and is next to the study, so it's convenient for both work and rest.

When Li Zhongyi returned to the flower hall of the inner house, the clever maidservant had already boiled water, made tea, and handed it to him.

Li Zhongyi took the teacup and looked at it, and immediately smiled, it must have been secretly confessed by the bottle, he doesn't like to add ginger, garlic and other things, he only likes tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Zhongyi felt that it was the Emei Snow Bud that he had already drunk smoothly, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. In this home, everyone must act according to his eyes, and every standard of service must be based on his preferences as the only frame of reference.

Li Zhongyi put down the tea cup, called the chef in the house, and patiently taught a few home-cooked dishes in later generations. As a senior foodie, he is unwilling to treat his own stomach badly.

After arranging dinner, as soon as Li Zhongyi picked up the tea cup, Huang Jingsheng took Wang Dahu to visit with a smile.

In fact, this was also expected by Li Zhongyi, as the head snake of the "Wuhou Shop" in the jurisdiction, he couldn't even grasp such a little bit of the situation, so it would be in vain.

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Jingsheng entered the door, he arched his hand and said, "As soon as Gongzi went out, I would have known, if it weren't for the miscellaneous things, Dahu and I would have come over a long time ago." ”

Li Zhongyi beckoned the two to sit down, and asked with a smile: "I followed Wang Debiao to Cao's house yesterday, and I gained a lot, right?" ”

"That Cao Meng is really rich, and the food and clothing at home are very exquisite." Huang Jingsheng sighed, "It's just a little regret, since the brothers have followed, it is impossible not to touch it at all, and it is a little bit of a gadget." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled, he knew in his heart that Huang Jingsheng had prepared the case in advance, so as not to be unclear in the future.

Anyway, it is the money of the Cao family, and the big head has already reached Li Zhongyi's hands, so he can't care too much, otherwise he will appear unkind and ruin his own reputation.

"Brother, if you go back and send someone to tell my father, you will say that I have moved here." Li Zhongyi told Huang Jingsheng with some meaning.

Huang Jingsheng nodded and agreed, took a sip of tea, and asked Li Zhongyi a little strangely: "Son, why did the Hou of Chengdu suddenly come to your house?" ”

Li Zhongyi already regarded Huang Jingsheng as half a confidant in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to hide it from him, so he told Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu how to get to know Meng Renyi until last night when he accompanied His Majesty Xià and the concubine to play mahjong.

Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu were stunned, my God, this Li Zhongyi was still a prisoner in Dali Prison a few days ago, and in just a few days, he became a good brother of Chengdu Hou.

What's even more powerful is that Li Zhongyi is now the guest of His Majesty the Emperor, which is also amazing, right?

Li Zhongyi just drank tea silently, and did not disturb the stunned Huang and Wang, leaving them time to digest the situation.

After a while, Huang Jingsheng gave a thumbs up in admiration and said convincingly: "Childe, I have completely convinced you." ”

Wang Dahu showed his signature honest smile, touched his head and said, "Actually, the little one has already been served." ”

Li Zhongyi was amused and looked at Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu playfully. These two guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are all black-hearted ghosts who like to play pigs and tigers, God knows how many bad things they have done in Dali Prison?

However, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu, as if they didn't see Li Zhongyi's strange eyes, still talked and laughed.

Tsk, how thick does this face have to be?

"You guys came just in time, I'm going to pick up A-Niang here in the Taoist temple and accompany me on a trip?" Li Zhongyi smiled and invited, and Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu readily agreed.

Li Zhongyi is even willing to take them with such a private matter, it is conceivable that in his mind, there are positions of Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu.

After taking Aunt Xue home and settling down, Li Zhongyi ordered to serve wine and food, accompanied Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu, and chatted about family life while drinking.

After chatting, Li Zhongyi learned that Wang Dahu was still single and had been living in Huang Jingsheng's house.

Huang Jingsheng has seven concubines in his family, and none of them lay eggs, not only that, but Huang Jingsheng also participated in the activities of his colleagues in the yamen and usury.

Li Zhongyi knew the danger of usury, so he used the strength of wine as a cover, and said with a smile: "Credit (usury) is detrimental to yin morality, you are my brother, and you have a bad reputation when it spreads." ”

Huang Jingsheng was as good as a stream, and immediately promised: "I will never let you lose face, son, and I will arrange a housekeeper to dispose of the business on credit when I turn around." ”

"Well, actually, you have a lot of shops, so it's better to take one out and do a quality warehouse (pawn) business." Li Zhongyi had the heart to mention Huang Jingsheng, so he reminded him that the pawn trade was very promising.

It is reasonable to save zài! Not to mention that now, even in the later republics where the financial industry has been relatively developed, the business of pawnshops should not be underestimated.

According to Li Zhongyi's idea, he could have cooperated to open a bank. It's just that the principal needs to start at least hundreds of thousands, and the current funds are insufficient, so there is no way to carry out it for the time being.

"Dare to ask Childe, if you do this quality warehouse business?" Huang Jingsheng knew that there was a deposit in Chengdu Prefecture, but he felt that the money was too slow, so he didn't think about it carefully.

Li Zhongyi smiled and explained: "Don't accept antique calligraphy, painting, porcelain or something, you can specialize in the purchase and sale of grain, land, houses, fertile fields and other mortgage loans, such as ......" gave a few examples, detailing the essence of the operation of the pawn industry.

"This business is good, but I don't have much principal, only 20,000 yuan." Huang Jingsheng looked at Li Zhongyi with a sad face.

Of course, Li Zhongyi knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Don't come forward yourself, just let the old housekeeper at home be the big shopkeeper." In addition to investing money myself in, I will also pull Chengdu Hou in when I go back. In this way, few people dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. ”

"Hehe, that's great, no worries at all." Huang Jingsheng dreamed of pulling Chengdu Hou Meng Renyi into the water.

This morning, Huang Jingsheng has already inquired about the people in the yamen, the Marquis of Chengdu is the most beloved brother of the emperor, the majestic first marquis of Shu, and the right Jin Wuwei general who holds half of the power of law and order in the capital.

In other words, with such a hard backer as Chengdu Hou, let alone opening a quality warehouse, even if it monopolizes a part of the industry, it is easy to get it.

When Li Zhongyi saw Huang Jingsheng's happy face, he knew that he was already thinking crookedly. However, Li Zhongyi didn't plan to correct his incorrect thoughts immediately, this meal always had to be eaten one bite at a time.

In fact, Li Zhongyi's desire to do quality warehouse business is just a pretense, and the core purpose is to buy and sell grain.

The Central Plains regime, the current Later Han Dynasty, and the future Later Zhou Dynasty, suffered from a long-term shortage of food due to successive wars, and Yan zhòng relied on external purchases.

According to historical records, Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty sent Prime Minister Wang Pu and Zhao Kuangyin to buy grain in order to conquer the Khitan in the north and recover the hometown of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In the end, because of the concerns of Later Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the military rations were insufficient, which delayed the Northern Expedition, which made Chai Rong hate for life.

If Li Zhongyi starts to lay out now, and the grain business is connected to Wang Pu or Zhao Kuangyin, or even Chai Rong, his family will be protected even if Hou Shu dies in the future.

It's just that the food of this era is a strategic material. As Meng Renyi, directly operating grain trading is likely to be suspicious of Meng Chang.

In the name of a pledge bank, mortgaging grain and directly purchasing grain belong to two different concepts, and their sensitivity is much smaller.

Now that the big policy has been set, Li Zhongyi has always revealed the purpose of taking grain mortgage lending as his main business.

Although Huang Jingsheng was shrewd, it was impossible to predict that the existence of Shu would only last for more than ten years at most.

Just when the three of them were talking happily, Wu Hou under Huang Jingsheng suddenly came to report that it was Zhao Xianggong's carriage at the door of the Li family.

After Huang Jingsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, how could he forget the old lady Zhao, if he was also pulled in to partner together, it would be impossible for the quality warehouse (pawn) business to be prosperous or not.

Li Zhongyi glanced at Huang Jingsheng, he thought to himself, he didn't make Lao Huang's brother in vain, the affairs of the Li family were under the control of the director of his jurisdiction, and it was obviously quite painstaking.

Its heart can be felt, and its deeds are commendable!

It didn't take much effort, Li Wu, who was guarding the door of the Li family, actually ran over and reported: "Back to Da Langjun, the housekeeper of Zhao Xianggong's family came to place an invitation, and asked Ah Lang to go to Zhao's mansion with you for a banquet." ”

Huang Jingsheng asked Li Wu in surprise: "How do you know that Gongzi is here?" ”

Li Wu replied honestly: "Ah Lang ordered his subordinates to go out to find Da Langjun, and the servants of the Zhao family privately instructed the villain to come here." ”

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, his heart immediately sank, and he dared to be affectionate, and his every move actually fell into the eyes of Mrs. Zhao.

It seems that Mrs. Zhao is indeed eyeing him, but I don't know what kind of demon moth she wants to make this time?

Li Zhongyi couldn't understand it a little, since Mrs. Zhao knew his movements, he should know that he was now very close to Chengdu Hou Meng Renyi.

If the prime minister's family in the court and the emperor's younger brother are connected, even if Meng Chang is mediocre, he may not be able to sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, Li Zhongyi has always liked to empathize, he pondered carefully from Meng Chang's point of view, and immediately realized: If the Zhao family can support Meng Chang to fight against the powerful minister Zhang Ye, then the balance of power in the capital is likely to be reversed.

After thinking about the mystery clearly, Li Zhongyi nodded and instructed Li Wu: "You go and sue Grandpa, and I'll go back." ”

When he returned home, as soon as Li Zhongyi entered the gate, he saw Li Dahe standing behind the gatehouse with his back hand, his head down and turning in circles.

Li Zhongyi was secretly amused in his heart, it was difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and only when Li Dahe thought it clearly could he finally solve the Cao family's problem.

"I've seen Grandpa." Li Zhongyi walked over to salute Li Dahe, Li Dahe looked up at Li Zhongyi when he heard the sound, and his face showed joy, "You're back?" ”

"Grandpa, what did the person sent by Mrs. Zhao say?" Li Zhongyi knew what Li Dahe wanted to say, so he hurriedly took the first step to divert the conversation.
