Chapter Seventy-Four: Do I Need to Rebel?
The two chatted about some homely things, and Qian Jin also told Li Shiyin the details of several workshops under his name. After all, he didn't come to the courtyard many times, so it was necessary for him to know more about his family background, and it would be convenient for him to act cheaply in the future.
When Li Shiyin first came to the capital, he proposed that Qian Jin snared some people, and now that he knows about his business, he knows that this senior brother who is seven or eight years younger than himself has a lot of plans. He frowned and asked, "Third Senior Brother, there is a sentence that I shouldn't have asked more, but it is uncomfortable to hold it in my heart. ”
"My own family, why are you still so cowardly?" Qian Jin asked as he leaned on the bed and turned his head sideways.
Li Shiyin pondered for a moment and said: "Senior brother has now entered the court as a Beijing official, and in just a few months, there are two workshops, which is already very remarkable in the eyes of outsiders. But now that the senior brother is also interested in smelting and casting, I can't understand this. Could it be ......"
"I'm going to rebel, am I?" Qian Jin said with a smile.
"......" Li Shiyin was told what he was thinking, and he smiled wryly and did not answer.
Qian Jin beckoned to Li Shiyin, who hurriedly stepped forward to help. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to get up from the bed in a trembling manner. Immediately afterwards, he walked a few steps on the edge of the bed, and when he saw that Li Shiyin was still holding his arm, he turned around and said, "It's not in the way." Li Shiyin carefully helped Qian Jin in a few small steps, and only after confirming that it was really okay did he return to the chair and sit down.
"There's something that only three people in the world know." Qian Jin's words are amazing.
Li Shiyin was stunned for a moment. Obviously, what he is about to hear next is a great secret, as a junior brother, he didn't even want his fame and came to join Qian Jin, and it was only a matter of time before he knew this secret. So he got up and hugged a fist, and said, "I want to hear it."
"Only Shousuke, Grandpa, and I know about this." Qian Jin was still satisfied with Li Shiyin's reaction, so he told his worries about the Xiaoice period and the response measures one by one. If this matter is told to a third person, it is estimated that he will have to go to Zhao Prison the next day, and the crime is to confuse the public with fallacies, and he may be beheaded on the charge of rebellion. Li Shiyin is his fellow disciple and his future left and right, so it is necessary to let him understand the path he wants to take in the future as soon as possible.
Li Shiyin obviously needed some time to digest the information he had just heard. Qian Jin was not in a hurry, he walked to the table with a chair and poured a bowl of tea to drink. After a long time, Li Shiyin raised his head and asked, "Senior Brother said that there is no need to rebel in this world, as long as the Xiaoice Period lasts for some years, my Chen Kingdom will be full of smoke?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Then how does Senior Brother plan to deal with himself?"
"I've been worrying about this all the time." Qian Jin sighed and said, "The emperor treats me well now, if we princes join forces, it may not be difficult to survive this Xiaoice period; But you also know that people's hearts are unpredictable, the emperor is not yet finalized, and when he has his own opinions, he may not be able to listen to my advice at that time. Besides, the Queen Mother has always been wary of me. ”
Qian Jin paused and said slowly: "Right now, Chen Guo is like a piece of moldy steamed buns. But a piece of moldy steamed buns, even if half rotten, belongs to his Zhao family; If someone is willing to clean up the moldy parts and return them, they may not be willing. Do you think that's the truth? ”
"What Senior Brother said is extremely true, but with this beacon smoke, the 150 million people of my Chen Kingdom will suffer." Li Shiyin's face was gloomy.
"Don't worry, the emperor is treating me pretty well at the moment. I plan to take advantage of this gap to do business for a few years, and when the time comes, I will have to rely on myself, and we will continue to make any moves from others. Qian Jin said with confidence.
"What does Senior Brother want me to do?"
"People, I'm short of people right now. The craftsmen only know what this workshop is, but they don't know why, so they still need people who have read books. You can help me look for it, see if there is any unsatisfactory mixing, and understand some skills, the key is to look at the character. ”
Li Shiyin nodded, indicating that he would do his best to do this well.
Qian Jin opened the door of the cabinet and took out five hundred taels of silver, and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival did not celebrate the festival with my junior brother, this time I will make up for it, and you can estimate the rest by yourself, and I will arrange silver taels for you regularly in the future." ”
Li Shiyin thanked him, and then took advantage of the night to take the silver tael and the book of "Tiangong Examination" out of the back door and out of the courtyard. Qian Jin instructed Li Bin to secretly escort him until he arrived safely at the hometown hall.
…………
Two days later, it was the day when Ding Wei was ready to leave for Shandong.
Early that morning, he first led Wu Ju to the courtyard to make the handover. After explaining everything clearly, he and the No. 40 craftsman of the winery stood in four rows in the courtyard.
Qian Jin motioned to Wu Ju to pour a bowl of wine from his own wine shop for each of them. Qian Jin also served a bowl himself, and Bao'er next to him hurriedly said: "Brother, your injury is not healed, you can't drink." Qian Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, wine can invigorate blood, and injuries heal faster." ”
He staggered to the front of the courtyard, raised his glass to everyone and said, "Brothers, the people who can drink the wine from our wine shop are all gentlemen." The trip will take more than two months, or more. You just have to rest assured, as long as I am for a day, your family will have no worries about food and clothing. Guys this bowl of Zhuangxing bar with me! With that, he drank the wine from the bowl.
"......"
"......"
Everyone felt Qian Jin's kindness and heroism, and they all drank the wine.
Qian Jin instructed Bao'er to take his driving sticker and the night dagger, handed it to Ding Wei in a precious place, and advised: "This time to Shandong, the people in the government want to sell my Jinyiwei's face, and they shouldn't embarrass you." If you encounter a few thieves, you can just the guys, and if you kill them, I will receive the reward for you; If you encounter a large number of thieves, remember to save your life. ”
Ding Wei took the driving sticker and dagger with red eyes, choked up and said, "Master, this trip will live up to your expectations." ”
The glutinous rice next to him handed the beaten burden to Ding Wei, and said sweetly: "Daddy, go early and come back early, my mother and I are waiting for you to come back in the courtyard." ”
Ding Wei touched Xiao Nuomi's head, explained a few more words to the Wang family, and then strode towards the gate of the courtyard. The rest of the people followed him.
Qian Jin took Bao'er's hand and walked to the gate of the courtyard together. Xiao Li Zi and Xiang Xiang also followed along.
Since these craftsmen arrived at the winery, Qian Jin instructed Ding Wei to give each person dozens of taels of settling silver, and the usual monthly wages were also paid on time. Therefore, these craftsmen bought more horses in their homes, and almost bought mules. After cleaning up, Ding Wei hugged Qian Jin, and then led a team of dozens of horses to set off to the south.
The neighbors on the side of the street went out to watch, and someone whispered to ask Qian Shi what kind of business he was doing. Qian Jin ignored this, and when the team with his hopes disappeared around the corner, he turned around and prepared to go back to the courtyard.
Li Liang next to him suddenly said: "Brother, when I grow up, I will also go south and north." ”
"You can eat for a few more years." Qian Jin rewarded him with a burst of chestnuts.
After returning to the courtyard, Lao Qian stopped Qian Jin and asked, "Jin'er, what kind of business are you doing now?" Your mother and I can't see through you now......"
Qian Jin replied with a smile: "Dad, anyway, you just need to know that I didn't do anything to violate the king's law, there are too many ways to do business, and it will be difficult for me to explain it to you for a while." ”
"Hmph, what do you have to tell Bao'er now, and you can't even get along with me, the father." Old Qian said angrily.
"Dad, I think you're idle, why don't I get you a hundred households of Jinyiwei?" Qian Jin said helplessly.
"That's a good idea. 'M afraid...... Something out of order, right? Old Qian asked with a grin.
Qian Jin sighed, and said in his heart that he had to go back to the Zhenfu Division to find Commander Leng to talk about it, otherwise the family would only be afraid of peace. Originally, my parents were raised by their sons when they were old, but they had an idle father on their own.
