After a war, on the dilapidated streets, people who can see a face of dust are trying to clean up their houses, and they are also cleaning up their only remaining lives, Yongle occupies Hangzhou for more than a month, but the impact of it can not be completely eliminated for many years, the rich households in the city went to six or seven out of ten, and some were completely wiped out, the direction of the Taishou Mansion, there has been a garrison of the imperial army, after Li He entered the city, he will settle in the Taishou Mansion, In the past few days, many squires and elders in the city have come to cry, in order to get help or understanding from the imperial court, and then get some compensation.

"Your meaning, my general has already understood, the disaster of Fang La is by no means something that can be dealt with in a day, and the southward march of the imperial court this time is enough to explain the attitude, and someone will deal with your suffering." In the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Li Chaonian blocked a few people, and what he said was also the clichΓ© of officialdom, and the few people opposite also shook their heads helplessly, but they were still unwilling to leave.
"General, we all contributed at the beginning, and the promise that Li Gongzi gave us must not be forgotten."
"That's right, now that the city is full of waste, you must give us hope."
Li Chaonian's face was solemn, at the beginning of Hangzhou, there were indeed many squires and wealthy families who secretly cooperated with Hong Ji's actions, and it was nothing more than watching the Mu family's sparse property being occupied by the Holy Father, and he was worried that he would eventually follow in the footsteps of the Mu family.
Li Chaonian listened to the quarrel of several people, and his face became more and more gloomy, and everyone stopped, "The Li family has its own rules for doing things, and you should know in your hearts about Hong Ji's ability, as long as you cooperate and act, your benefits will naturally be indispensable in the future, and when my son-in-law comes back, I will give you an explanation, if you are still noisy here, be careful of military law." After speaking, Li Chaonian's face was cold, and without waiting for a few people to answer, he went to the back by himself.
The quarrel in the front yard did not spread to the back yard, Li Chaonian let out a long breath, calmed down and entered the backyard, and saw a few Li He and a few elders in Hangzhou sitting in the courtyard.
"I understand the meaning of several people, the imperial court has its own law, this time to recapture Hangzhou, the merits and sacrifices of several families, I Li has written down, and the court will not forget." Li He said while looking at the few people in front of him, among them, there were naturally representatives of the Xu family, the Qian family and other families, but what Li He cared about the most was Mu Jiangping, the old man was lying on his back, and he no longer had the original demeanor, a rebellion in Hangzhou, the Mu family was completely ruined, and now a few old people can pull him over, but it is also for the sake of the past.
"Old Mu, your body is good, what else do you need in Qingyuan?" Li He's face was concerned, at the beginning of the battle in the city, Fang La and the others had already escaped safely, and most of the looted money and materials had been transported away, which naturally included the Mu family's industry.
Mu Jiangping trembled and arched his hand towards Li He, "Don't dare to ask for any more extravagance, it is not easy for the general to leave the life of my Mu family, old man is content." β
Li He nodded, and then looked at the few old people around him, his face was not good-looking, the Mu family was naturally finished, but several of them still had demands, and Hong Ji was the first to contact them, and the promise given was also the best, now that Hangzhou has recovered, several families naturally hope to fulfill the benefits.
"I don't know ...... Hong Ji" The old man of the Qian family opened his mouth, and Li He randomly interrupted the other party, "The affairs of Hong Ji have always been taken care of by my own children, and the world thinks that it is the Li family's industry, but a few people should also understand that in addition to being the son of my Li family, he is also the nine internal guards, and it is inconvenient for me to ask more about many things." β
As soon as a few people heard it, they were all Yiling, what Li He said was already straightforward, if he still wanted to entangle, it was the one who was pestering the imperial city, this is serious, they still knew, Li Chaonian walked over slowly, Li He looked over, "Everyone, I still have some military affairs, if there is nothing else, I will leave first, this is Xiao'er's right-hand man, you can ask him about the things in Hong Ji." β
Li He arched his hand with a smile, and after saying goodbye to several elders one by one, he left, Li Chaonian watched Li He walk out of the courtyard, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Different from the bustle in the Taishou Mansion, in the house of the Leng family in Hangzhou City, Dong Xiaowan, Ying Hongsleeves and the woman of the Leng family were all busy at this time, the business of the Leng family was ruined after all, and Mu Tingyu did not leave them anything, most of the machines in the factory were destroyed, and many workers lost their lives in the chaos, leaving them a mess.
"Miss Leng, have you sorted out the accounts?" Dong Xiaowan put down the book in his hand, turned his head and asked the other party, "It's clear, it seems that there are still tens of thousands of taels now." As he spoke, he looked sad.
"Don't worry." Ying Hongsleeve patted Leng Xuemei's shoulder comfortingly, the other party has long lost its original momentum now, a sudden war, if it weren't for Li Huai's response, I was afraid that the Leng family would be even more miserable at this time, and turned his head to look at Ying Hongsleeve, "Didn't he say it, fully support you, everything will be fine." β
After Hong Ji returned to Hangzhou, it was to carry out all kinds of commercial activities in Hangzhou with the attitude of saving the city, with the power of the Li family in Hangzhou now, several big clans no longer have a critical statement about this, and Hong Ji is also in the shortest time, the tentacles will be extended to various industries in Hangzhou, not only cloth shops, rice shops, but also a variety of post-war reconstruction work, by Dong Xiaowan and Ying Hongsleeve in the middle of the adjustment, and then Hong Ji from Yecheng and Liulin County to mobilize manpower, Hong Ji's strong business operation ability, at this time concentrated embodiment.
Such a general performance, even the southern generations of elite and business clans, also gasped, compared to the Li family's army, the Hong Ji caravan led by two women shocked them even more......
"I naturally believe Li Gongzi's words, but what did Li Gongzi do? Now is the time of need, why did he run out? Leng Xuemei asked the other party, Ying Hongsleeve and Dong Xiaowan were worried and helpless, "Sister, we can't ask more about his affairs, I think there are still important things to do, but with Tian Xiang and Brother Yang following, as well as a group of good hands from Hong Ji, it should be done soon." β
Leng Xuemei knew that she had asked too much, so she nodded, in the sky outside the window, the rain gradually gathered together, and it pressed down heavily, and the light rain fell on the green tiles, with a crisp voice, with the tone of Jiangnan, and the three women in the room also looked at the rain outside the window at this time......
