The plot that destroys the three views appears, and if you feel that you can't accept it, you can use all kinds of votes and evaluations to smash me.

"This is glass? Glass?! ”

On each person's table, there is a set of four wine utensils, a delicate and lovely glass wine jug, and three wine glasses of different sizes, shining with lovely light above the candle flame. Unlike the equipment sold by the Franc machine in Guangzhou, Trench Mirror, etc., it is not as green as the equipment in Guangzhou, Trench and other places, but as crystal clear. Under the reflection of the candlelight, the wine foam and bubbles splashed by the maid pouring wine are clear at a glance. In particular, the carved pattern on the wine glass reflects the light, making the wine more delicate and delicate.

"There are some vulgar things placed there, and when the two brothers see that Shang Ke is still delicious, they let them serve it. Come! Li Peiting struck with both hands, "Serve!" ”

A few side dishes were placed in front of everyone.

"Tomatoes mixed with sugar, puff pastry peanuts."

"Pineapple shrimp balls, palace fried chicken."

"Two brothers, the main dish will take a long time, why don't I wait for three cups first?"

After three cups, Hu Yongwen glanced at Guan Baoqiong opposite, "This little white face is useless." It depends on a certain family. He thought to himself.

"Brother Li, I have been bothering for many days, I have been taken care of by you and Brother Ling, and we have also explained when we go back on official business, and we have been generously given, I don't know what I need to go back to convey on my behalf?"

Get! People have received money, and they want to ask what you want!

Li Peiting was still full of spring breeze, "Two brothers, please try this pineapple shrimp ball with the same palace fried chicken, this is my general's original dish, no matter how you travel all over the country, you can't eat it." ”

Seeing that the two in front of him ate a few bites of the dishes in front of them, and couldn't stop praising them, Pei Ting opened his mouth to say his request.

"Two benevolent brothers, a certain family has no ambitions, just wants to have a lot of money in their waists, and they are just a drunken woman, and now, they are under the command of the general, doing some small business, although they dare not compare with Tao Zhugong, but they also have no worries about food and clothing."

"It's nature. Brother Li and General Shouhan are both of the same clan and close relatives, so General Li naturally wants to take care of them more. Guan Baoqiong's eyes withdrew from the Miao man, and she stabbed Pei Ting sarcastically.

Pei Ting didn't seem to hear this, but shocked Hu Yongwen into a cold sweat. "This damn rabbit! It's not good to say something! Just talk about some other people's bad things! ”

The matter between the Li family brothers and sisters and the Han is not a special secret in Ha Jing, as long as you pay a little attention, you will hear some rumors, of course, in the ears of these people in the mainland, people with the same surname come and go, and the elder brother intends to marry the younger sister to a person with the same surname, it is a disobedient thing that violates the etiquette law.

However, even so, Li Shouhan is in a foreign place, and he has soldiers in hand, what is this? Moreover, the saint has long been taught, "Speak for His Holiness." ”

"So, a certain family just wants to do some small business with two brothers and talk to make a living!"

Small business?! Rao is Guan Baoqiong is a typical son-in-law, and he also scoffed at Li Peiting's words, will you have a small business in your eyes as a child of the Li family in Liaodong?

However, Hu Yongwen was a little older, got up and filled the wine glasses for the three of them, and after filling the wine glasses one by one, he turned around and returned to his position, "Brother Li, Guangxi is adjacent to your Hejing, and Hejing has a lot of people from Guangxi, this situation in Guangxi, I think, you know much better than me and the other two, Guangxi has always relied on Guangdong to assist the province, the land is narrow and densely populated, and there are local officials from all over the country, the people are fierce, and the food and clothing are still insufficient, what business can be entered into the eyes of the brothers?" ”

"Huh? Food and clothing? Hu Yongwen suddenly realized his purpose for saying Li Peiting, "Could it be my brother's intention?" ”

"Yes, General Hejingmeng has been blessed for many years, and the people are singing, rice is really cheap!" Although there were only Pei Ting and the other three people in the room, several maids also stood by the wall from a distance, "I want to transport this grain and rice to Guangxi for sale." This business will have to borrow from the two brothers! ”

If they were to sing in other places, Hu Guan and the others would never believe it, but after living in Hejing for a few days, they also knew something about the situation here. In a casual village, there is a reserve of thousands of stones, which is enough for the elders in the village to eat for a few years.

"But I don't know how much grain and rice can Brother Tai transport to western Guangdong for sale?" The two of them look at Li Peiting now, they are like good money boys, and every word they say is the sound of silver. There is no way, Guangxi has been a grain importing province for many years, and if it can have a large source of grain in its hands, it is holding the money bag.

"There is food. The day before yesterday, I saw a petition in my brother's study, which asked for the payment of funds for the construction of a granary, which probably said that the rice we had stored in the first year had reached nearly one million stones, and if we did not want to dispose of it in a way, or if we wanted to use it for the use of the faction, we would increase the number of barns for the storage of grain and rice. ”

"Million Stone ?!!" Hu Yongwen was about to bite.

"I'm afraid it's more than that now." Li Peiting added fire to Hu Yongwen very appropriately, "Now that the war in the south has been decided, if the land in the south is cultivated according to the method of my Hejing, I am afraid that the rice will be harvested more this year." ”

Hu Yongwen is not interested in knowing what method Ha Jing uses to farm, what he cares about is, if I get this rice back to Guangxi, what will my host get, what will I get?

"How much does rice cost?" Guan Baoqiong is a little impatient, if I get this matter done, I can go back and ask my uncle for the little student in the family drama troupe!

"Let's follow the price of rice when Emperor Wanli was alive, five coins of silver and one stone. How is it? ”

Hu Yongwen pinched his thigh fiercely, this guy! Sure enough, he is a gentleman who doesn't know the hardships of crops! Doesn't he know that it is no longer the price of rice when Emperor Wanli was alive? Joke! The price of rice for five dollars and one stone, isn't this going to make people laugh to death?!

"Shipped to the price."

"Oops!" This time, presumably Guan Baoqiong exerted too much force, and her own self-screaming in pain screamed.

"But I don't know, how much can Brother Tai supply Guangxi at a time?" Hu Yongwen is the master in charge of Qian Gu in the end, and he knows that food is a thing that needs to be transported to his own hands one stone at a time.

"Alas! Two, you must have also heard of my general, and he has always been meticulous about money and food, if this matter is not allowed by him, relying on the actions of me and my brother, I am afraid that we can only export 50,000 stone at a time. ”

Fifty thousand stones? It sounds like a lot, but Hu Yongwen quietly calculated in his heart, all the yamen in Guangxi, all the chief officials are afraid that they will have to share one or two, from the Futai Yamen, the political envoys, to the General Military Mansion and so on, they must all take a piece of the pie, these 50,000 stones, I am afraid that there are more wolves and less meat.

"Every sink leads to a clear spring, only my house flows continuously, only my house gurgles; Every mule falls with copper bells, only my family rings ding, and only my family is the best to listen to......"

A burst of singing came up from downstairs, which made Mr. Hu's train of thought stagnate, "Brother Li, who is this singing below?" Guan Baoqiong blinked her beautiful Danfeng eyes and asked Li Peiting, "But it's very good!" It's better to call up and sing a few songs for me, it's also an elegant thing. ”

Li Peiting smiled and signaled, and ordered the maid to go down and call the singing man up.

"Second son, can you make Brother Venerable bother to show General Li that these 50,000 stone grains and rice are not enough! It would be nice to have more at a time! ”

Taking advantage of this emptiness, Hu Yongwen expressed his thoughts.

"It's my business to say a thing or two with the general, but it's not okay right now." Li Peiting had an expression that everything was under control in his hands.

Hu Yongwen also didn't care about that much, for the sake of the owner and his own purse, he had to get to the bottom of it. "Isn't there a big victory ahead? The Ruan family rebelled and had been wiped out by the army. What else bothered General Lee? ”

"According to my brother, the general is worried about the second thing, one is to destroy the Ruan family with the status of a garrison officer, and I am afraid that the local officials everywhere will not accept it and rise up to disturb the place. A few days ago, the Qiongzhou Mansion sent a message, wanting to let my general pay some money and food, so as to help the people who were harassed by bandits. ”

"What's so hard about that!" finally saw that the other party was also embarrassed, which made Hu Yongwen and Guan Baoqiong laugh with their palms, "Second son, you are also a long-time experienced character, why don't you know the truth that you can't get back when you enter the public door with one word?" ”

"In this way, the day before yesterday, Guan Gongzi's respected lord Jia has already been on the fold, then, when a certain family goes back this time, he will ask the contemptible owner to follow Lord Jia's previous recital, and go to the Ministry of Literature and Soldiers, saying, 'In order to deter Jiaoyi and pacify the rebels, I specially ordered to garrison Li, act cheaply, and the camera will suppress it."

"As for the money and grain requirements put forward by the Qiongzhou government, it is even more nonsense, they can't resist the bandits, but they want General Li to give money and food for them to help the victims, how can we start?"

"What Mr. Hu said is very true! Leave him alone! ”

"But the general of my family, who is kind-hearted, often says, although I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me, every time I think of this, I sigh for a long time, and I don't think about tea and dinner."

"I'll go to your house and be kind!" Hu Yongwen is an old fritter for many years, how can he not know what Li Peiting means? But it must come out of your own mouth. "Then Qiongzhou Mansion is also lonely overseas, and Miao Yi is miscellaneous, so it will be handed over to you, what can you do?"

"If you want to expand your territory, don't make such excuses!"

After slandering in his heart, Hu Yongwen was still upright, "I want Qiongzhou Mansion to be unable to resist the Haikou Kou, but to ask General Li for money and food, a certain family will be the Ming Contempt Owner, and in the future, the coastal defense of Qiongzhou Mansion will be handed over to General Li!" ”

Hu Yongwen's ball is also played well, I said that I will hand over the coastal defense affairs of this Qiongzhou Mansion to you in the future, and the meaning of the two words in the future is very far-reaching.

First, after Lord He has changed from Lord Futai to Lord Ministry, and after the Governor Liangguang has become Governor Liangguang, and second, it is necessary to see what you are waiting for on the matter of grain and rice.

Li Peiting smiled, and was about to speak, when the maid who went down to look for the singer quietly walked over, "Back to the second master, what Fang just sang downstairs was a group of Wa officials and slaves, because of the celebration of the general's pardon of them, and another month's money and food were issued; Therefore, many families celebrate here. ”

"The Wa people are fierce and savage, so let's not provoke them." Pei Ting raised the glass wine cup in his hand, "Two brothers, please!" ”

A maid picked up the pieces of beef carefully decomposed by the Miao family with small silver tongs, and gently put them into the copper tripod that had already been tumbling with oil flowers.

"This is one of the things that my generals love to eat on weekdays, Wuding whole cow! With this copper tripod, after a fat buffalo is overturned, take the most delicate parts of the cow's body, put it into this tripod, and cook it slightly, it is the supreme delicacy in the world. ”

"You can't eat five tripods in life, and you should cook five tripods in death! General Lee is so angry! General Li, who doesn't want to win thousands of miles and tens of thousands of armors, is also quite accomplished in the way of eating! Hu Yongwen tasted it and couldn't help but praise it. (Nonsense, where did the people of the late Ming Dynasty eat what sugar-tomatoes, what crispy peanuts, and kung pao chicken?) ）

"What kind of pardon did you just say, what kind of official slave?" Guan Baoqiong was very curious, and after putting down the wine glass, she opened her mouth to ask Pei Ting.

"This Hejing, since the general took power, has made great requisitions against the natives in the vicinity who do not obey the king, and the captives have all been made official slaves and engaged in a lot of labor. A few days ago, in order to celebrate the great victory in the south, the general issued a military order that the elders who had been engaged in labor service for five years, or those who had been engaged in labor for more than three years and had a skill, would be diligent and willing to work and belong to the king, and the status of the people would be rewarded and the household registration should be compiled. Those who are willing to stay and work will be given additional money and food as a settling-in allowance according to the number of households. Come to think of it, these Wa people took the settling-in fee to celebrate that they were free people under the rule of the general from now on. ”

Thinking of those Wa officials and slaves who were still walking like flying with heavy goods on the streets of Ha Jing, with their dark but vicious faces, Hu Yongwen and Guan Baoqiong were speechless, and it was better to have more than one thing.

"Yikes! Damn, damn it! Pei Ting tapped his forehead hard with an ivory fracture fan, "The general's approach is of course to win the hearts of the people, but it will delay our big event!" ”

The world's major events, wealth first. This is the opinion of the two in front of them, and the people behind them. Hearing Li Peiting's remark that it might delay the fortune plan of importing grain and rice into the mainland, the two couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Lose the horse! If the owner can lower the price of rice and ensure the people's food and military needs when he is the governor of Guangxi, then it will also be of great help for the owner to be promoted to the governor of Guangxi and Guangzhou.

Moreover, brown rice with five dollars and one stone is also very beneficial when it is transported to Guangxi!

No way! Nothing should be allowed to ruin this great event!

"Second son, I don't know why you are so surprised?" After settling down, Hu Yongwen pretended to be calm.

"In the past, the people who carried the goods on the wharf were all official slaves, and they didn't have to pay for their wages, just for their food, but now, the official slaves are for the people, and they have to pay for their wages, so that our japonica rice of five dollars and one stone is not a good deal!"

"Poof!" Guan Baoqiong squirted out a mouthful of wine, choking and coughing.

Japonica rice for five coins and one stone?!!

Mr. Hu quickly calculated in his mind that even if he paid taxes in Hejing, transported them to Qinzhou, and sold them all over Guangxi, he could sell them for at least one or two or five dollars of silver! Such a good thing is to go all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and then go there to find it?

"Second son, you have to look at the faces of the people in Guangxi Province, and you must think of something to achieve this!" Hu Yongwen made up his mind, got up and left his seat, and took off his clothes to make a big salute in front of Li Peiting.

"Mr. Hu! This must not be! It's a frustration! I'm wondering how we can be flexible. ”

"How about this, sir, you might as well write a letter back, report the affairs of this to your owner, and ask him to come forward to buy a batch of fruits and horses for me in Guangxi, three or five hundred horses each, which I will use here for freight transportation at the wharf."

I see! What is the result of a few hundred fruits dismounting? Compared with hundreds of thousands of stone of japonica rice, it is worthless!

"Second son, so affectionate and righteous, we naturally don't dare not appreciate it, in front of Guan Gongzi, I won't say anything outside! Now Lord He is on the joint to be promoted, and now with such help, the position of the governor of Guangdong is even more in his hands. If the second son has anything to tell in the future in the territory of Liangguang, just look for me Hu! ”

"It's still about so-and-so!"

Just wait for you to say that! Li Peiting played with the wine glass in his hand, and his face looked like he was listening carefully. "Now I can't think of any big events to bother the two, but in the next business, a few days ago with Gaoping's Mo family signed a contract, bought a few mountains in his territory, or open mines, or buy some native products, the two know that Gaoping here, either by land, or north to Guangxi, through the sea to Hejing. If the caravan goods travel in Guangxi in the future, I hope the two of you will take more care of them. ”

"These shameless officials and compradors have betrayed their souls and duties in the face of their own petty profits." Nguyen Phuc Hyun wrote hard, "Li Peiting plundered a large number of fruit horse resources for the Nanzhong authorities, resulting in the rapid loss of this rare horse breed native to Guangxi in the place of origin. ”

"A large number of them are in my hometown, Chongqing near Gaoping (yes, that's the place name!). The manganese ore was obtained by Li Shouhan and his accomplices by deception, mined, and transported to Hejing by boatload after boatload under the protection of the Guangxi government. Become one of the capitals that Li Shouhan relies on to show off his might! ”

What's even worse is that he actually used a set of glass wine utensils to bribe the staff who served as a copywriter for the governor of Guangxi at that time, and drafted a document for Li Shouhan to assist in the defense of Qiongzhou Mansion, which provided a legal name and excuse for Li's black hand to reach out to Hainan Island. Back then, someone in the West lost the right to inherit for a bowl of broth, and in the East, someone gave up a huge island for a set of drinking utensils, I can't help but ask, what's wrong with this court?! ”

That night, Li Peiting, Hu Yongwen, and Guan Baoqiong also held consultations on the technical details of how to dock ships in Ha Jing at Qinzhou Port, and finally, in accordance with Li Peiting's proposal, a part of the money and grain, not less than 10,000 stone of rice, was paid in advance, and the governor and the two yamen came forward to recruit displaced people, carry out work-for-relief activities, and build and dredge the wharves and roads around Qinzhou Port.

A few days later, shortly after meeting with Li Shouhan, who had rushed back to Ha Tinh from Hoi An, the two of them happily returned to Guangxi with more than 1,000 sets of armor, knives and guns that Shouhan had given to the two adults to equip their families.

The local officials in Sicheng, Nandan, Sizhou, Bazhai and other places in Pennsylvania who did not listen to the propaganda in the past changed their past style, bowed their heads in front of the bright armor and sharp swords and guns under the governor, drove their respective subordinates and slaves, and went up the mountain to plant medicinal materials and collect tin ore. These medicinal herbs and tin will be purchased by the merchants recommended by Lord Futai and Lord Xun in exchange for rice, silver, and other items. For a time, Guangxi was a peaceful scene.

This series of behaviors made the governor and the governor get another point in the annual evaluation.

A few months later, a large number of rice went north to Qinzhou, and the price of rice in Guangxi fell by 20% within a few days.

Half a year later, the new governor of Liangguang made adjustments to the defense of his subordinates, and the defense of Qiongzhou Mansion was garrisoned by Li, and he had the responsibility of assisting in defense, and all officials of Qiongzhou Mansion must obey Yunyun.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

However, after the banquet broke up that night, there was a small episode.

According to rumors, Guan Baoqiong Guan Xianggong was violently beaten by a Miao man, hid in the room, and did not dare to see anyone for several days, and there are many theories about the origin of this matter.

First, "That Guan Baoqiong is fond of male style, presumably because she can't be happy, and she is beaten by others." This is the general public's opinion.

Second, "That Guan Baoqiong was open-mouthed and exposed the privacy between the remnants of the Li family in Liaodong and Li Shouhan, so naturally Li Peiting wanted to take revenge on him!" ”
