This old bustard is quite reasonable, of course, most of it is also on the face of Chen Yuanyuan's cornucopia, and said softly: "Daughter, I know what is on your mind." Mom, I am also from here, and there was a man who raised people back then and made a private agreement with me for life, but what happened later...... That's it. There are some things that you still have to look at. ”

Ji Qingwen listened to it and asked, "It must be that the round girl has a sweetheart, right?" I don't know which talent it is, but if it's really intentional, I'm willing to be an intermediary in it. If the man doesn't agree, if he agrees and wants to be a negative man, I will be the first to spare him. ”

Although Chen Yuanyuan is a female streamer, she has mixed a lot in the romantic field, but she also knows that the new Fu Lu Bo Ji Qingwen Lord in front of him is a figure in Jiangnan, and he is willing to agree to help, which is better than a person who pities himself.

So Chen Yuanyuan lowered his head and said: "It's not someone else, Lord Ji should also know, he is...... It is...... It's ......"

"Who's it, you mean!"

"It's General Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan......" Chen Yuanyuan's voice became softer and softer.

Ji Qingwen laughed and said: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Wu Sangui!" Alas! Speaking of which, the round girl is really good-looking. Wu Sangui's young heroes are far from being comparable to those self-proclaimed corrupt Confucians. Not to mention...... Hehe, Wu Sangui also has a heart for the round girl, and there will never be any second heart......"

Speaking of Wu Sangui's "two hearts", Ji Qingwen couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly said: "This matter, Miss Yuanyuan can rest assured." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I want ...... I promised Yinzi that as long as Wu Sangui promised Miss Yuanyuan, he would never let the girl down. Ji Qingwen patted his chest and said.

For this, Ji Qingwen naturally has 120% confidence - after all, in the history that everyone knows, Wu Sangui "became angry at the crown", which can be said to be the most famous scene in this tragicomedy at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, no matter how Wu Sangui evaluates the righteousness in history, at least he is sincere to Chen Yuanyuan.

With Ji Qingwen's assurance, Chen Yuanyuan finally willingly packed his bags and went to Dianshan Town, half to recuperate, and half to help Ji Qingwen do something. The signature girl Chen Yuanyuan left, and the old bustard Li Hong'e couldn't stay on the bank of the Qinhuai River, so she packed up the gold and silver in the store, hired a big boat, set off from Nanjing Yanziji Wharf, and docked at Dianshan Port Wharf by sea.

In addition to Chen Yuanyuan, who was under Li Hong'e, Ma Xianglan, the old bustard who used to take care of Liu Ruye, also gathered his girls and went to Dianshan Town to open a store. It's just that Ma Xianglan has no Liu Ruis gold-lettered signboard under his hands, and his reputation has long been much worse than before, from the boss on the bank of the Qinhuai River to the boss, this time going to Dianshan Town is a change of environment and a different way of life.

In fact, in his heart, Ji Qingwen looks down on this kind of leather and meat business, not because these businesses are not profitable or make little money, but because this kind of business has a congenital disadvantage, relying on selling dignity and honor in exchange for money, which is contrary to the purpose of "standing to make money" in Ji Qingwen's mind.

But now the situation is stronger than people, and if the situation cannot be opened, we can only do the word "from power", and first bring up the momentum.

However, momentum is not so easy to bring out.

Although Ji Qingwen opened two courtyards in Dianshan Port against his will, the guests just came after Chen Yuanyuan's fame. And Ji Qingwen knew in his heart that Chen Yuanyuan would be Wu Sangui's person sooner or later, and Wu Sangui was the person he wanted to try his best to win over. Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan was in a good mood, and he could come out to play a few songs and sing two songs for the guests, but when he was in a bad mood, he couldn't use a whip to drive her out to laugh.

Therefore, although Chen Yuanyuan's name is here, it has not made the business of Dianshan Town much better, occasionally three or five guest officials come to see Chen Yuanyuan come out to say a few words and go back, and immediately become less interested, drink a glass of wine, eat a few side dishes, and go back.

Looking at the deserted business, Ji Qingwen finally began to be a little worried, you must know that when building this town, Ji Qingwen used financial means to raise so much money. If you don't earn enough silver taels within a certain period of time, and make up for the loophole of the money advanced through the over-issuance of silver bills, it will lead to a large-scale depreciation of Ji's silver bills, and by the way, the credit that Ji Qingwen has worked so hard to accumulate will go bankrupt in an instant.

Therefore, it can be said that the current Ji Qingwen has reached the critical moment of life and death, and there is no difference between fighting with the enemy army on the battlefield.

And on the battlefield, when the side is at a stalemate or even at a disadvantage, the opinions of the military adviser and staff are very important to the commander.

Ji Qingwen's military advisor is Li Yan.

"I said Brother Li, since you joined me, I have never treated you as an ordinary master's staff, and I have been obedient to your words, and I have never treated you badly, right?" Ji Qingwen asked.

Li Yan is a smart person, of course he knows that Ji Qingwen has something to say, so he shook his folding fan and replied: "If Brother Ji doesn't say this kind of thing, you and I also know it, so why bother to say more?" If Brother Ji has anything to say, please say it directly. ”

Ji Qingwen frowned and said, "Then I'll say it directly." Business in Dianshan Town is not good, and Brother Li also knows it. But according to Brother Li's idea, although I didn't invite all the 'Qin Huai Bayan', at least I also invited Chen Yuanyuan over, right? Why is business still not improving? Could it be that Brother Li still has any ideas hidden and tucked away and didn't tell me? ”

Li Yan looked helpless and said, "I understand Brother Ji's feelings, but you really can't blame me for this." I thought that those self-proclaimed celebrities would flock to it, but unexpectedly, none of them came. Brother Ji, do you know why? ”

"Baume & Mercier? What Baume & Mercier? Ji Qingwen asked rhetorically.

"Aren't they just those who read books and have money? Brother Ji is such a smart person, and he still pretends to be stupid with me? ”

Ji Qingwen sneered: "I'm afraid that Brother Li is pretending to be stupid with me, right?" Aren't those celebrities, even scholars, and rich people, all offended by me? If you want to talk about the scholars, that is, the bunch of Donglin Party members, starting from Qian Qianyi, have all been offended by me to death, can you come and cheer me on? As for those businessmen, my business is so big that I almost drove them out of Suzhou City, this is called 'peers are enemies', I am in their hearts, just like killing my father and enemy, and they came to let me make money? Isn't that a joke? ”

Li Yan said: "Brother Ji said this thoroughly. That's why this thing is so difficult, Brother Ji can't blame me. But speaking of which, even if it is the Donglin Party, it is not a monolith, and Qian Qianyi does not need to talk about him. In fact, there are many enlightened people in the Donglin Party, such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Zhang Pu, who wrote "The Tombstone of Five People" for Brother Ji. When I was in Suzhou, I also had some contact with them, and they were much higher than Qian Qianyi in terms of conduct, and the people's voice was good, so it seemed that they could be co-opted. ”

Zhang Pu and Ji Qingwen are acquaintances, and they have good conduct and talent. Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were also famous figures in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and their minds were much more open-minded than ordinary Confucianism, so they were not completely incomprehensible.

And for Ji Qingwen, he is working hard alone in the south of the Yangtze River, which is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is only one Xu Guangqi who is more than a year old in the center of the court to speak for him, which is really unsafe, and he needs to have a group of officials who are loyal to him or like-minded with him - as young and potential as possible - as his spokesperson in the court.

And people like Zhang Pu, Huang Zongxi, and Gu Yanwu are the best candidates among them. In fact, it is also a great pity that such a person of insight was not able to become an official and do things for the court for various reasons in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

However, because of the relationship between Qian Qianyi, Ji Qingwen has never had much to do with them, and even Zhang Pu is just a one-sided relationship, whether he can win over these people, Ji Qingwen himself has no confidence at all.

However, there is no endless road, and when Ji Qingwen was just entangled, the person who pulled people for him came!

I only heard Huang Degong's voice coming from outside the door: "Dongjia, here's a visitor, it's a person named Liu Ruozai, I remember that the Dongjia saw him in the Jingshi......"

Ji Qingwen was taken aback when he heard this, and then replied: "Liu Ruozai? Why did Liu Ruojae come? Please! Please! ”

Hearing this news, Ji Qingwen was still a little incredible, but in the next second, he pushed open the door of the house and came in, and it was indeed Liu Ruozai, the champion of the first year of Chongzhen's imperial examination. With him came Kou Shen, the prefect of Suzhou.

Liu Ruozai and Ji Qingwen are inseparable friends, he suddenly appeared in the Dianshan Port of Songjiang Mansion, which was really unexpected by Ji Qingwen, so he immediately got up and welcomed Liu Ruozai in, and asked: "Brother Liu is working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and it is when the future is immeasurable, which gust of wind blew you to my poor country?" ”

Others are fake talents, but Liu Ruozai is a real celebrity.

Although he has a raunchy appearance, he can show a chic and dignified appearance between his gestures, and pointed at Kou Shen beside him with a folding fan in his hand: "Isn't it because of Lord Kou's relationship?" ”

Although Kou Shen is also a serious jinshi, he does not have Liu Ruozai's ease, and he hurriedly said: "Zhuangyuan Gong is talking nonsense. Champion Yuan Gong is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and coming to Suzhou, a place of ointment, to be a parent, is the heart of the saint. I'm just making room for the champion. ”

Liu Ruozai said, "Master Kou, what are these words? Doesn't the emperor also have a will, transfer Lord Kou to be a household servant, the fourth product has become the third product, it is considered to be over-moved, it is really gratifying! One day, Lord Kou will enter the cabinet to pay respects, please remember to take care of the younger generations. ”

Kou Shen had a constipated expression on his face: "Champion Gong said and laughed." I am a person who knows the destiny of heaven, and I plan to retire in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but the emperor still refuses to let go of my old bones. Alas, it's so cold in Beijing, I don't know if I can come back this time......"

Ji Qingwen only knew that Kou Shen was reluctant to go south of the Yangtze River, and then comforted him.

Li Yan had a thorough understanding of Kou Shen's flowery intestines, and interjected on the side: "Why does Lord Kou have to be like this? Although Beijing is the national capital, the climate is indeed cold, and the year before last, it had just passed through the ravages of Manchuria. Lord Kou is now going north to serve the country, and it is indeed difficult for him. ”

Li Yan paused deliberately, glanced at Kou Shen's slightly expectant eyes, and continued: "Of course our Lord Ji knows the hardships involved. Therefore, every winter's charcoal and summer's ice respect, there will be no shortage of Lord Kou. Don't worry, adults. ”
