Chapter 371 - Integrating into the big family
Li Zicheng laughed, knowing that Mao Ting was puzzled, so he said: "Governor Pondu doesn't care what relationship you have with Mao Xiang, if you cooperate with Governor Ponto, Governor Pondu can assist you in opening a business house in Xining and becoming a real proprietor." ”
Cooperate? Mao Ting was ecstatic, this was what he dreamed of, if he had his own business house in Xining, Mao Xiang, a parasite, would no longer have the shame to look down on himself, at that time...... However, his complexion soon returned to normal.
From humble background, he felt that pies would not fall from the sky for no reason, and even if there was a pie, when it fell to the ground, it would become a stone that smashed his head!
The Metropolitan Governor wants to cooperate with his own people, and the conditions must be harsh, and if it is obviously unfair and he is desperately ruined, he cannot ...... Anyway, he is a burden to the family, what can the Metropolitan Governor do with himself? Will it take your own life?
"I wonder what the Metropolitan needs the grass people to do?"
"It's very simple, tell the Governor of the Western Regions you see, if the Governor of the Western Regions needs it, you can buy the goods from the Western Regions, or you can sell the goods from Xining to the Western Regions, of course, the Governor of the Metropolitan will sell them at the market price, or buy them!"
So it's that simple? Mao Ting raised his confused eyes, and at this moment, his eyes cleared a lot, "Metropolitan Governor ......"
Li Zicheng learned from Mao Ting's words that he went to the Western Regions this time, walked to South Shandao, that is, south of Qilian Mountain and north of the West Sea, passing through a large number of deserts and saline-alkali lands, and died for a lifetime, so he asked: "Why don't you take the Hexi Corridor?" Now Gansu is already the territory of the Mandate of Heaven. ”
Mao Ting's eyes suddenly lit up, and he trembled and said, "The Metropolitan Governor...... Does the Mandate of Heaven allow the grass people to trade with the Western Regions? ”
"It's not allowed, but encouraged," Li Zicheng spying on the expedition to Longyou during this time, ignoring his own propaganda, "The "Law of Industry and Commerce" promulgated by the Mandate of Heaven is clearly written, encouraging the people to engage in industry and commerce, trade with the Western Regions, if you go to Gansu, the military and civilians along the way will provide you with appropriate supplies!" ”
"The grass people understand, the grass people thank the Metropolitan Governor for ......"
Li Zicheng said in his heart, Mao Ting went to the Western Regions to trade, passing through Gansu, in case the defenders deliberately made things difficult or refused to clear the customs, what should he do if he was an ordinary person? Thinking that when he went to the craftsman's workshop in the afternoon, he needed a red card to enter, and he had a new idea.
In the future, the Mandate of Heaven issued two kinds of cards, the green ones had the convenience of passage and enjoyed the treatment of the local people, while the red ones were issued to special people, not only to get help and protection along the way, but also to military facilities, and they could also enter and exit.
"Master Mao, go to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion tomorrow, I will issue you a card, in the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, no one will deliberately embarrass you, even if you enter and exit the Western Regions, as long as it is not during the war, the soldiers stationed in the garrison will also allow you to clear the customs," Li Zicheng simply helped people to the end, "In addition, tomorrow go to the market to find a suitable shop, I will lend you silver, and take it down first." ”
"Thank you, Governor!" This is to help the horse to give it a ride, Mao Ting was born in the family of Shangjia, how can you not understand? He is still a poor boy, and he has nothing to repay, so he can only kneel on the ground and respectfully kowtow to Li Zicheng three times.
When he returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Zicheng was thinking about business all the way, it seems that the publicity on weekdays is far from enough, businessmen are doing business, and they are like thieves, if there are no these merchants, how can Xining and Longyou prosper?
As long as the merchants pay taxes according to the law, the more developed the commerce, the more tax money the government can get, Xining is different from the territory of the imperial court, since the commercial tax is levied, it should encourage and assist the industrial and commercial practitioners, and the "Industrial and Commercial Law" must be implemented.
He immediately sent a personal soldier to convey instructions to Liang Wencheng overnight, ordering him to arrange manpower to widely publicize the "Industrial and Commercial Law" in various prefectures and counties, not only to publicize that merchants should pay taxes according to the rate, but also to publicize to the people, and the Mandate of Heaven Army encouraged the people to engage in industry and commerce, and encouraged the people to conduct commercial exchanges with outside the territory.
Since the Shu Road was not cut off, and Mao Ting opened up the trade route in the Western Regions, Li Zicheng was concerned about his own factories, so he asked the soldiers to inform the factory directors separately and come to the Dadu Governor's Mansion tomorrow afternoon to report on their work.
When Li Zicheng returned home, the women had already eaten dinner, but none of them slept, one by one, the warblers and swallows, chirping, and even Gao Guiying, who had a big belly, was also looking at the silk sent by the soldiers.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Chen Qiudie bravely rushed forward and hung on his neck, "Dadudu, if you wear this red satin, if you wear it on your body, it is like a fire, and the maid likes to ......."
"It's good if you like it," Li Zicheng patted her little face, "I think that the water red color is more suitable for you, the water red color is a little similar to your skin, it is integrated, and the butterfly-shaped pattern ......"
"As long as the Governor likes it, the servant wants to be pink, huh...... The servant still wants that water-green ......"
"Water green is more suitable for Jie'er, she is very quiet, if it is a summer evening, wearing a water green long skirt, playing a song "Sauvignon Blanc" in a pool of lotus flowers......"
The girls immediately laughed, and Sun Mengjie blushed and protested: "Students don't know how to play the piano......"
Li Zicheng laughed, "It doesn't matter, Mr. can teach you to play the piano, it seems that Mr. can't, in fact, even if you don't talk about it, it's good to have the piano there!" ”
In the midst of the ridicule of the women, Mu Sirong blushed and whispered: "The maid has learned piano skills since she was a child, but unfortunately she is not proficient in learning, and she can't be the ......eyes of the governor and several ladies."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, the room was quiet, Gao Guiying smiled on her face, worried about making a sound, and hurriedly used her hands to understand her mouth.
Song Yulian was originally leaning on the corner of the wall to watch, but when she heard Mu Sirong's words, her eyes widened, but only for a moment, and then she came to her senses, and continued to have a faint smile on her face that was harmless to humans and animals, but she unconsciously swept Li Zicheng's face.
Sun Mengjie and Tian Fen leaned together, hugging each other and laughing, but they didn't dare to make a sound, only to see Xiang's shoulders trembling, and even Yufeng was up and down.
Chen Qiudie has always been active, but at this moment, she is there, her mouth is wide open, her expression is dull, her eyes are round, and she doesn't dare to speak for a while.
Mu Sirong woke up at this time, people are husband and wife talking at night, although she is one of the wives of the Metropolitan Governor, but she has not been through the door, but now she is not ......
She desperately wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, so she grabbed someone's clothes indiscriminately, hid them behind her, closed her eyes and didn't dare to open them again.
Li Zicheng saw that the situation was not right, coughed, and said, "Rong'er and Fen'er want what color satin, just choose it yourself," thinking that there were too many silks bought, and these dozens of silks were enough to cut out hundreds of clothes, so he said: "Gui Ying is responsible for everything, and the excess satin is temporarily sealed." ”
"Yes, Zicheng, I'll negotiate with my sisters tomorrow!" She was close to labor, her body was heavy, and after a while, she was about to go back to her room to rest, but when she went out, she looked at Li Zicheng, and swept around Mu Sirong's face, "Zicheng......"
How could Li Zicheng not understand her thoughts, the last time the "large army withdrew", he only left Mu Sirong to accompany him, and he understood the thoughts of the ladies.
Mu Sirong was born in a big family, unlike Gao Guiying and Sun Mengjie, she is close to the ladies, and she often shakes under her nose, if he is not moved at all, it is impossible, Mu Qingshan put her in the Li family, maybe he hoped that he would eat it earlier.
But Mu Sirong is too young, so she is just waiting to be released, such a bud is just the time to attract the eyes, selling a cute flirtation, but it is more charming than destroying.
Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled at Gao Guiying.
Gao Guiying lost interest, stroked her waist and got up and said: "Sisters, you choose the style and color first, and tell me tomorrow, I am tired, go back to the room to rest first." ”
Li Zicheng knew that Guo Guiying was not suitable for sitting for a long time, so he asked Xiaomei and Xiaolan to send her back to the room. I'll send it to the tailor shop tomorrow, and I'll be able to wear it before the new dollar. ”
All the women are gone, as soon as Gao Guiying leaves, their interest will turn to people, Chen Qiudie can't wait to sit in Li Zicheng's arms and talk, but she has slept with Sun Mengjie last night, and it is difficult to speak today.
Li Zicheng's gaze swept over the faces of the women, and seeing that Mu Sirong had not recovered from her shyness, it was not easy to make fun of her.
Considering that Tian Fen had just come to Xining and intended to let her integrate into the big family, he asked Kite to take a hot bath.
Back in the hall, the women had dispersed, only Tian Fen was still waiting, Li Zicheng called the kite, whispered a few words, and the kite blushed.
"The Metropolitan Governor ......" Tian Fen didn't dare to be too presumptuous when he came to Xining, knowing that Li Zicheng was going to stay in her bedroom, but he still had to ask knowingly.
Li Zicheng hugged her into his arms, "Fen'er, let's go, go to your bedroom first!" ”
Tian Fen's fair skin suddenly appeared a flush, as if she had a layer of foundation, her skin was particularly white and tender, under the dim candlelight, like a little spring on the white glazed porcelain.
Li Zicheng couldn't bear it, at the door of the bedroom, she had lowered her head and pecked it gently, Tian Fen had recovered her heart when she arrived at her own space, she didn't care about the door, she had turned around and met her lips......
When Chen Qiudie came in with the kite, the black light in the bedroom was blind, and she said strangely: "Kite, you heard it right, right?" Why is there no one? ”
The kite is also strange, but the majority governor clearly said, "No, how dare the kite make such a joke......"
Chen Qiudie quietly approached the bedroom, saw the door open, listened carefully, and heard the familiar wheezing sound, unconsciously crossed her hands on her hips, and muttered: "It turns out that I am superfluous......"
Tian Fen struggled to get out of Li Zicheng's arms, turned around and lit the lamp with a fire fold, but Li Zicheng said to Chen Qiudie at the door: "Don't come in yet?" See how I clean you up later! ”
Chen Qiudie saw that the clothes of the two were in good condition, and knew that it was just a prelude just now, and she had long been used to threesomes, so she lowered her head and chuckled into the bedroom.
Seeing this, the kite hurriedly closed the door and quietly retreated.
