Li Yanqing did not rush to the barracks, but came to the Baoyanzhai main store, last night his father and stepmother Yang and little sister Baoniang arrived in Qiantang County very late, the family was very tired, the father and son did not talk too much, Li Yanqing was going to see his father today.

He knew that his father must be in Baoyanzhai this morning, so he didn't go to his father's house and came directly to Baoyanzhai's main store.

The head office is located in the middle of Qianjiang Street, which belongs to the core of the city, although the business in the west of the county is also very developed, but it is mainly based on the teahouse restaurant industry, and the shops that buy and sell goods are still concentrated on both sides of Qianjiang Street, that is, on both sides of the future Royal Street.

Of course, Li Daqi will not be stingy with the land to build the main store of Bao Yan Zhai, the main store covers an area of 30 acres, and the width of the shop that sells rouge perfume alone is 20 zhang, which is equivalent to the width of 20 stores, which concentrates all the products of Bao Yan Zhai.

Although the conversion of Qiantang County into the capital has not officially started, but the magnates and eunuchs of Tokyo have basically come, especially after the plague appeared in Bianliang, Tokyo, even some of the families of hundreds of officials who were forced to stay in the capital also rushed to Qiantang County in advance, and the old customers of Baoyan Zhai can basically be retained, and for these powerful children who are used to living in Tokyo, although Hangzhou is safe, compared to Tokyo, life is still very inconvenient.

However, with the opening of famous stores in Beijing such as Baoyan Zhai, Alum Building, Zhu Skull Teahouse, Qingfeng Building, Pan Building, Granny Cao's Meat Pie, etc., these powerful children finally found their old life again.

Bao Yan Zhai in Qiantang County currently has only two stores, the main store is of course the largest store, the store is crowded with young girls, young women and noble ladies, they are greeted by the beautiful appearance, gentle words of the female clerks, 30 female clerks enthusiastically for the female customers to make up and introduce goods, the entire second floor half of the dressing room.

Li Yanqing did not enter the store, but walked into the main store of Baoyanzhai from the side gate, in the middle is a large patio, the size of two basketball courts, there are a few big trees planted in it, and there are many stone tables and chairs under the big trees, so that the account managers can come out for a change of fresh air and take a little rest.

"Why hasn't the April account from Chengdu Mansion been delivered yet? I know it's a long way to go, but I can ask them to send a briefing with a pigeon letter, and I want to know the general situation! ”

Li Yanqing walked up to the second floor, and several stewards who were waiting for a report at the door saw Li Yanqing coming, and hurriedly wanted to go in to report, but Li Yanqing waved his hand and signaled not to disturb, and he walked in directly.

The big study, also known as the proprietor's room, is Li Daqi's room in Baoyanzhai, Li Daqi is sitting behind a large table, and his face is full of unhappiness to criticize a steward for not doing things effectively.

At this time, Li Daqi saw his son walk into the room, so he said to the steward: "Send a pigeon letter to Jiangxia first, and then send a pigeon letter from Jiangxia to Chengdu Baoyanzhai, and let Steward Zhao immediately send a briefing with a pigeon letter." ”

"The subordinates know, this is the pigeon letter!"

The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and went out, Li Daqi walked to the door and said to the other stewards: "The account report will continue in the afternoon, everyone will go back first." ”

Everyone left one after another, Li Daqi closed the door, a smile bloomed on his face, and said to his son: "Bao'er, they received it!" ”

"They came as soon as it was dawn, and Di Ji also came with them, and they are currently living with Yun Niang."

"I think this matter is a bit inappropriate, how can the emperor be a concubine, this is too funny!"

Li Daqi was really worried, since he heard about it, his heart has never let go, the other party is a dignified princess! It's not impossible to marry your own son, but to be a concubine for your son, this marriage is a bit subversive of Li Daqi's view of dignity and inferiority.

Li Yanqing explained with a smile: "Father thinks too much, first of all, she is not a concubine, but a partial concubine of the king of Anyang County, like Yun Niang, she was canonized by Mrs. Yipin, and the external etiquette is the same as Yun Niang, that is to say, I have two princesses of the county, for example, what kind of banquet is held by the queen of the wife of a hundred officials, my house will send two invitations, and the princesses of the two counties will attend, but within our Li family, the emperor is a flat wife, one level lower than the main wife Yun Niang." ”

Li Yanqing explained like this, Li Daqi can finally accept a little bit, as for the princess to be crowned princess, it sounds a little weird, but there is a precedent in history, like Princess Lu Yuan, the eldest daughter of Han Gaozu, married Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, as his wife, as long as it is a king with a different surname.

However, Li Daqi also knew that this was the Son of Heaven enveloping his son, this kind of marriage was very special, different from ordinary marriages, and he couldn't interfere at will, Li Daqi sighed, "You can do this thing!" I just asked. ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Daddy doesn't have to worry about this matter, the emperor was exiled to the north, life and death are uncertain, at this time the marriage should not be publicized, the official family has already expressed its position, the marriage is simple, the canonization is grand, basically we don't need to work hard." ”

"Then I'll rest assured, but you can't be wronged Yun Niang, she took care of more than 100 family members for you this year, and paid a lot of effort, you kid has to do things with a conscience, don't have a princess, just divorce the wife of the chaff!"

Li Yanqing was a little crying and laughing, "What is Daddy talking about, how could I lose Yun Niang." ”

Li Daqi glared at him, "I'll just tell you, you just listen." ”

Li Yanqing was helpless, so he had to keep silent, and Li Daqi said again: "I'm very busy today, you can go back if you don't have anything else!" ”

"I'm here today for something important."

Li Daqi nodded, asked someone to bring two cups of tea, and then waved his hand, "Sit down and talk!" ”

Li Yanqing sat down, a tea boy brought in two cups of tea, Li Daqi took a sip of tea and said, "You say, what's the matter?" ”

"The first thing is that the imperial court wants to confer the title of Daddy Zhu National Order."

Since his son was crowned the king of the county, Li Daqi no longer attaches much importance to the official title, he is a businessman, and the pursuit of the lord title is nothing more than to obtain a certain political status, and now that his son is the king of the county, his status is enough.

Of course, he also has to think about his son, and the father of the county king naturally has to award a certain number of honors to show his status, although Zhuguo is a second-grade honorable officer, but in addition to a higher status, there is actually no substantial benefit.

Li Daqi groaned and asked, "What about your mother?" ”

"Mother posthumously crowned Mrs. Juntai, and the cemetery can be rebuilt."

Li Daqi nodded, "That's the best, I'll repair your mother's clothes and tomb in two days, and after it's repaired, you can take your wife and children to worship." ”

"I remember, there is another thing, I don't know if my father is interested."

"You say!"

"I received an order from the official family yesterday, asking for all the shops, manors, and mines of the Xiang family to be sold at a discount, I wonder if my father is interested?"

Li Daqi's eyes lit up, "What price?" ”

Of course, Li Daqi knows that the industries of the Xiang family are all good things, how could he not want it, the key is the price, if the price is right, there are a few industries that he must take down, Li Daqi has been greedy for a long time.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Before, Xiang Jia sold a ghost teahouse to the proprietor of Guo Shilang's teahouse, and the price was 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"!"

Li Daqi was so anxious that he slapped the table, "The land price of a ghost teahouse alone is worth at least 20,000 taels of silver, as well as teahouses, tea prostitutes, and a thousand acres of tea gardens in Suzhou, and this well-known brand, 50,000 taels of silver can't be bought." ”

"The problem is that the government has finally admitted the deal."

Li Daqi suddenly understood, "You mean that the Xiang family's property can be purchased at a cheap price?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Just take a ghost teahouse as a precedent, and sell other industries at a discount, of course, ordinary people don't have this opportunity, in fact, it is the powerful who divide it, the official family gave me three places, and my father can choose by himself!" ”

As he spoke, Li Yanqing took out a roster from his arms and handed it to his father, Li Dazhi hurriedly took the roster and unfolded it, there were more than 170 industries in total, and there were clearly marked prices next to them, and he could choose three of them.

"I will not let the other half of Fengle Lou be a member!"

Li Daqi first wants the other half of Fengle Building, Fengle Building is on the edge of the West Lake, covers an area of 20 acres, and the land price alone is worth 100,000 taels of silver, Li Daqi has estimated the price himself, Fengle Building is worth at least 300,000 silver, half of the share is also 150,000 taels, and now the price is only 30,000 silver, where to find such a good thing.

"I want this harbor wharf in Minshu!" Li Daqi pointed to the Mingzhou Harbor Wharf Road in the roster.

He and Zheng Xiaopang's family bought a small wharf of 30 acres of land in Mingzhou, and spent 100,000 yuan at that time, including a warehouse, Xiangjia's wharf is next to them, it is the largest harbor wharf in Mingzhou, covering an area of 500 acres, there are eight warehouses alone, Li Daqi is estimated at 300,000 taels of silver, and now it is only sold for 20,000 taels of silver, such a low price, Li Daqi's eyes are a little red.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Buying so many properties, is my father busy?" ”

Li Daqi smiled, "Then you don't understand, in fact, you don't need me to take care of it, I have cultivated a group of big stewards over the years, and they are loyal to me, I will hand over the property to them to take care of, and I will only take care of the accounts and collect the money." ”

Speaking of collecting money, Li Daqi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked for it in the roster, and the third item was his long-awaited goal, Xiangjia's Hui Gold and Silver Shop, which was one of the three major silver shops in the world designated by the imperial court to issue and exchange silver, and the price was only 200,000 taels of silver.

"Yanqing, can I choose the gold and silver shop?"

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, the Cao family of the Huijin and Silver Shop also wants it." ”

Li Daqi showed a look of disappointment on his face, the best industry for the Xiang family was the Hui Gold and Silver Shop, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the Cao family, so he had to sigh.

"Or else!"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "My father transferred half of Fengle Lou to the Cao family, and I persuaded the Cao family to transfer half of the gold and silver shop to my father, so that neither family would suffer." ”

Of course, Fengle Building can't be compared with the gold and silver shops all over the world, Li Daqi agreed without hesitation.

"Since you have given up the part of Fengle Building, then my father can choose another one."

Li Daqi looked at the roster and said with a smile: "How about the jewels?" ”

Jewels is one of the three major jewelry shops in Tokyo, and the jewels in Qiantang County are next door to Baoyan Zhai and have been seized, but Li Daqi knows that the gems in the underground warehouse alone in this store are difficult to count, and it also covers an area of ten acres, and now it is only worth 10,000 taels of silver, which is simply a free gift.

Li Yanqing nodded happily, "Since my father has taken a fancy to it, it is best to go to the state government this afternoon to settle them, pay 30,000 taels of silver first, and pay the rest of the silver within a month, I will discuss the matter of the gold and silver shop with my father-in-law now, and give my father a clear answer before noon!" ”
