Chapter 13 It is better to seek others than yourself
Early this morning, Pei Min put on his official uniform under Jiao Chen's service: Pei Min was not used to this kind of day when he had to be served by someone when he wore clothes, but Jiao Chen insisted on it in this regard and insisted on doing so. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pei Min couldn't vomit her, and he was happy to enjoy it, and after a long time, he was also used to this kind of fairy day.
A few days ago, Jiao Chen didn't arrive, and I couldn't help but think about her every morning.
Now that she is serving, I am in a good mood.
"Wait for me at home!" Pei Min kissed Jiao Chen's forehead lightly and said, "There is no big deal today except for meeting the young master of the Long family, and I will talk to him about Tao Yan, and I will accompany my wife to go shopping on the street as a husband!" ”
"Good!" Jiao Chen answered and sent him out.
Pei Min, as the Thorn History of Taozhou, lives directly in the Thorn History Mansion, and when he goes to the Mansion, he only needs to walk from the backyard to the front yard only a hundred steps away.
There was still some distance from the agreed time, Pei Min asked about the status of the long history Gu Xinlong's family in Longyou, and said with a smile: "The surname Long, this surname is really rare!" ”
Gu Xin said: "The surname Long is one of the ancient surnames, and the descendants of the Shaohao clan and the Taihao clan mostly take the dragon as their surname, but they don't have the intention to be close to the real dragon." However, Long Jun's dragon did not originate from the Shaohao clan and the Taihao clan. But as for the barbarians from the southwest Yi, have you heard of the four wealthy clans of ancient Yunnan? ”
Pei Min nodded and said, "During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great general Wei Qing developed southern Xinjiang and recruited wealthy people as officials to control raze. The Yi Han surnames in northern Qianbei have Long, Fu, Yin, Dong, Xie and other families, and when Gongsun Shu, the surnames Long, Fu, Yin, Dong and Gong Cao Xie Xian protected the territory for the Han Dynasty, and made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty. ”
"Lord Thorn is erudite!" Gu Xin praised it, patted a small horse, and said: "Later, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty sent Wu Han into Shu and massacred Chengdu, and the foundation of the Long family was threatened, and he moved to Longyou and gained a foothold in Longyou!" To this day, their situation is not much different from the Peng family, they are all far-reaching families, and they have not supported the outstanding talents of the family, relying only on the support of fame. The situation of the Long family is much inferior to that of the Peng family, and the development prospects are not very satisfactory. Almost all of the people in the clan have turned into traders and have made their business a business. is not as good as the Peng family, and has always adhered to the official career, focusing on reading sage books. ”
Shinong Industry and Commerce!
This is the status class that has been inevitable in all dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty is no exception. Although the imperial court was open to the Tang Dynasty and encouraged various envoys to come to the Tang Dynasty to do trade, it had an excellent business environment, although it did not attach much importance to the merchant class, but it did not explicitly oppose it. But the law's rejection of merchants is also there.
In the Tang Dynasty, merchants were not allowed to be officials, and "the industrial and commercial family was not allowed to be a scholar" This is a dead rule.
The transfer of the Long family to business means that he has cut off his own way to become a businessman.
Gu Xin continued: "The Xu family is influenced by Confucius and Mencius, and the Long family is the first businessman, not those businessmen who do anything for the sake of interests, and have a good reputation. Taozhou is short of food, and the Long family has also run many times for the livelihood of the people. If it weren't for the Long family's refusal to sell grain to other gentry at a high price in private, they would choose to hand it over to the government. Taozhou can't survive the Peng family incident, and it is impossible to survive until the arrival of the assassin history. If it really comes to that point, the lowly position can only take the risk of letting the people go out to forage for food. ”
Pei Min was also secretly glad that he had the opportunity to kill Peng Qi and obtain 3,000 stone of grain for Taozhou, once Gu Xin announced that he would let the people go out, Taozhou would become a state where no one died, and it was not easy to recover his vitality at that time. Taozhou is more likely to be occupied by Tibet and become a military base.
While the two were discussing, someone came to report: "Long Jun asks to see!" ”
"Quick, please let him in!" Pei Min beckoned and personally stepped down to greet him.
Long Jun is a person in his early thirties, small, with a bit of shrewdness and ability, seeing the familiar Gu Xin following behind a handsome young man, he knows the identity of the person without introduction, and said with a little flattery: "I've seen Pei Tingshi!" ”
"No need to be polite!" Pei Min said with a smile: "I also want to thank Long Shaodong's family for their contribution to Taozhou City. ”
Long Jun said: "The Long family is engaged in business with the right way and does their duty, so they should not be thanked by Pei Shi. ”
Although he has changed his career to become a businessman, Pei Min can see that the Confucian atmosphere on Long Jun has not changed at all, and he estimates that the Long family still has the heart to be a businessman.
Let him Long Jun enter to speak, and said straight to the point: "Long Shaodong, I came to you today to entrust you!" ”
Long Jun said without hesitation: "Pei Tingshi, please speak!" ”
Pei Min said: "A feasible policy has been set for Taozhou, and a reliable merchant is needed to assist in sales, so as to drive the business atmosphere of Taozhou and develop Taozhou into an important border town in my Tang Dynasty." Gu Changshi said that among all the businesses in Longyou, only the Long family has the best reputation and can be trusted. ”
Long Jun hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know what Pei Tingshi wants to do?" ”
Pei Min said: "The characteristics of Taoshui Stone, Long Shaodong's family must be clear about Longyou for a long time, and he won't say much. For the sake of Taozhou's economy, the state government intends to promote the development of Taoshui stone, mining river sand and gravel to make inkstones, ornamental rockeries and other handicrafts. All of this is properly arranged, with only one business channel missing, which is mutually beneficial. If this matter is successful, it will not only be of great benefit to Taozhou, but also to your Long family. ”
Long Jun glanced at Pei Min, his heart wandered, and he said after a long while: "Pei Tingshi is kind, and the Long family understands it." It's just that the Long family is dominated by rice, and they don't have the idea of getting involved in other industries, so please forgive me for not being able to take on this important responsibility! ”
Pei Min's expression became a little embarrassed.
Gu Xin hurriedly said: "Pei Tingshi's words are true, this matter is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your Long family. ”
Long Jun thought for a while, and refused again: "The contemptible person is ashamed of Pei Tingshi's expectations, and he is very ashamed!" ”
"Okay!" Pei Min glanced at Long Jun and said, "Pei doesn't embarrass you, you can retreat first!" ”
Long Jun bowed and retreated.
Gu Xin looked left and right, and said, "Humble to find Long Shaodong's family to talk?" ”
"No!" Pei Min said: "The twisted melon is not sweet!" The Long family doesn't want to believe me, it's useless to say more! This benefit is in front of you, the three-legged toad is not easy to find, and a businessman can't find it yet? ”
The reason for Long Jun's refusal was that he was unwilling to cooperate with the official, fearing that after the official made a profit, he would fall into the well and make the Long family busy for nothing.
Long Jun's thoughts, Pei Min can understand, but his reputation as a big man is questioned, which really makes him unhappy, thinking that if he hadn't heard the words of the store steward in the Long family's rice shop that day, he would not have chosen to give the Long family and give so many benefits, but he didn't want to be kind to the donkey's liver and lungs.
Gu Xin looked at Pei Min with some confusion, and stopped talking.
Pei Min waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I, Pei Min, am not narrow-minded. Buying and selling is not benevolent, and it will not be targeted at the Long family because of this. This matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible, and a reliable merchant must be found. You go and deal with the arrangements for the people to move first, let me think about it! ”
Gu Xin said goodbye and left with confidence.
Pei Min thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a merchant in Longyou who could afford to take on a big responsibility.
I really couldn't think of it, so I remembered the agreement with Jiao Chen and returned to the inner hall.
Taozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and as a military important place, there are also eight similar scenes: what lotus peak towering show, Yehai ice map, Duoshan jade shoots, stone gate golden lock or something.
Among them, the most famous is the Lotus Peak Towering Show, as the scenic spot of the Lotus Mountain in Xikongtong, according to legend, the Lotus Mountain is the danger of Huayue, the wonder of the Yellow Mountain, the seclusion of the Qingcheng, and the show of Emei is the place where the feathering of Guangchengzi is full, full of legends.
Jiao Chen had already had the intention of playing, and after waiting for a long time, when he saw Pei Min coming, he greeted him happily. When he got close, he saw that he was thinking about his thoughts, and said busily: "Pei Lang has a lot of official business?" Lotus Mountain is in Taozhou, and it won't run, so it's not going to go one day! ”
Pei Min shook his head and smiled: "It has nothing to do with this!" How can you regret what you have promised? He knew that his lady was delicate, and if he didn't explain the matter, he wouldn't be interested in playing, so he told Long Jun about his kindness in rejecting him.
"How can it be!" Jiao Chen's eyebrows rose upside down when he listened, and he said indignantly: "Pei Lang is the most credible husband in the world!" That dragon Shaodong, really has no eyes. ”
"Haha!" Pei Min smiled and took Jiao Chen's hand, kissed him and said, "Madam is right, he has no eyes, we can't be angry with him for a person who has no eyes!" Bring your disguised paraphernalia and play with ours! ”
Jiao Chen said embarrassedly: "It's ready." ”
Pei Min pulled Jiao Chen to the backyard.
Jiao Chen was still thinking about Long Jun and sighed: "The concubines know a lot of wealthy businessmen, but most of them are greedy and profit-seeking, and they don't dare to have too much contact with the government. ”
Pei Min said: "This businessman is profit-seeking, and it is justified. It's just that I don't want such a good thing to be cheap for those businessmen who are full of fat intestines, and it seems that it can only be cheap......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Jiao Chen in a daze, and said after a long while: "Madam, I just had a thought in my heart for my husband, can you see if it's feasible!" According to my Datang law, a husband cannot engage in business. But Qiao Feng can, why should he be cheap for those businessmen, play two roles for his husband, and it is easy to direct and act by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about an accident. ”
Jiao Chen naturally knew that Qiao Feng was Pei Min's other identity, and said in a daze: "Is this illegal?" ”
The more Pei Min thought about it, the more feasible he felt: "What kind of law is violated, who knows if Madam doesn't say it?" What's more, being a husband is not doing anything that violates conscience and morality, but just to facilitate the governance and development of Taozhou, and control everything in his own hands. ”
Jiao Chen didn't hesitate for too long, and said, "Pei Lang thinks it's feasible, it shouldn't be wrong." ”
Pei Min's mind became active, and said, "In this way, I have to use my wife's dowry." The husband's fortune is far from enough to open up a business channel. ”
Jiao Chen didn't care about this: "The concubine has already said that those things are not dowry, and Pei Lang can use them at will." ”
Pei Min shook his head and said, "Also, my family doesn't care a lot." It's just that it should be subdivided, and it needs to be subdivided clearly. When it comes to sharing the profits, the lady takes the lion's share. Simply fill in your name by the principal of the firm, and it is sometimes difficult for the husband to take care of it, and it is also reassuring to have a lady watching. ”
Jiao Chen was even happier when he saw Pei Min boldly and reassuringly entrusting the burden, and said, "Pei Lang rest assured, the concubine must work hard to do the best." ”
Pei Min had a big deal in his heart, hugged Jiao Chen happily, and said, "Madam is really my virtuous help!" He kissed her on the lips.
You and I were silent for a while, and Pei Min sneaked out of the backyard with Jiao Chen and walked into a mansion in the backyard of the state capital!
This mansion was specially purchased by Pei Min in order to house the two identities of "Qiao Feng" and "A Zhu".
There is only one deserted street away from the backyard of the state capital, which is convenient for their identity exchange.
Jiao Chen skillfully took care of Pei Min's face, but in just a quarter of an hour, Pei Min's delicate and handsome face turned into a heroic and heroic northern man, and finally carefully glued his beard to Pei Min, completed his masterpiece, and nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, Jiao Chen sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Pei Min what he wanted.
Pei Min thought for a while and said, "Draw one at random, but it should be pretty, and it is best to have certain appearance characteristics." After all, it's the female owner of the Everest Commercial Bank, or my wife, how can she be an ordinary woman? He said in Qiao Feng's tone.
Jiao Chen was inevitably secretly happy when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he drew it casually.
It was the first time Pei Min had seen Jiao Chen perform a disguise technique in front of him, and he used to do things on his face, often turning him into another person unconsciously. Now when I saw her performing a disguise technique on her face, I realized that the method could really be described by the words "miraculous".
Because there is no specific appearance, Jiao Chen is arbitrarily disguised.
Pei Min looked at Jiao Chen, who was gradually getting better, and unexpectedly remembered someone in his heart: Wang Zuxian!
Jiao Chen's unintentional appearance, his facial features are modified by three points like Wang Zuxian!
You must know that Wang Zuxian is the goddess in Pei Min's heart in the future when he was young, and Nie Xiaoqian is as beautiful as a fairy, and on a whim, she instructed Jiao Chen with a little excitement!
"The nose is a little higher......"
"The eyebrows are thicker, slightly upturned......"
"The mouth is a little bigger, and the nose is a little more erect!"
"That's right! Right! That's it! ”
He commanded Jiao Chen to groom from memory.
It took a lot of effort, Jiao Chen actually disguised herself as the female ghost in her memory, not to mention the complete resemblance, at least eight points of taste.
"It's like!" Pei Min couldn't help but stumble.
Jiao Chen looked at himself in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but eat the taste: "What is it like!" ”
Pei Min immediately said: "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of what Mrs. looks like now. Coincidentally, Mrs. disguised herself and disguised herself like this, do you think our husband and wife have a good understanding? Without waiting for Jiao Chen to speak, he immediately said: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of clarity in the heart!" ”
As the first leader, Jiao Chen's cultural literacy is outstanding!
instantly understood the artistic conception in the poem, and his eyes were a little confused!
"Pei Lang!"
Pei Min looked at Wang Zuxian's version of Azhu in front of him, although his heart was weird, he was also very satisfied, "coughed", and said, "It's important!" With that, he handed over Azhu's identity certificate to Jiao Chen and asked her to write it down.
Jiao Chenqiao's face turned red, glanced at him with disgust, and took over his new identity.
