Chapter 282: This is a capable man
Li Feibai pushed the door and entered the house!
The people in the room had already sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
Fu Yuan, Qian Mutong, Feng Jiangting, and Kou Zidun each occupied one side of the table. These four people are in charge of the four major yamen in the province, so it is very reasonable to sit like this!
Qian Zijun is Qian Mutong's son, and sitting next to Qian Mutong is also very reasonable!
But where did he sit?
If there is an empty chair next to an adult, he knows where he should sit. The problem was that there was not a spare chair next to any of the adults, and he thought that Fu Yuan must have changed his mind!
When Li Feibai gave Fu Yuan an idea, the two had already discussed, and after taking Cui Yipeng, everyone sat down to eat together. By eating corn, the two sang and harmonized, and gave the matter of going to Quanzhou to pull corn. In this way, Fu Yuan's prestige can be re-established, and the hidden worry of famine in Henan can be solved.
But now, there is no place for him at all, so how can he sing and harmonize with Fu Yuanyi?
Li Feibai thought that Fu Yuan had just won Cui Yipeng, and Qian Mutong's attitude had changed again. Fu Yuan was full of confidence for a while, and felt that he could solve the corn matter without his help, so he changed his mind.
He didn't think that Fu Yuan was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge by doing this. When you can use him, treat him as a baby, and the little nephew and nephew call him kindly. When he is not needed, he is used as a night pot, and he is eager to be stuffed into the corners and never to be seen again.
Thinking about the opposite, he is still very happy!
He is really not used to eating with officials, and he is full of authority and not sincere at all.
The bigger the official, the more he puts on the score, and there are more rules, and he won't be suffocated to death when he sits down to eat together! It's so good, he goes out alone to eat anything, but it's easy!
Li Feibai arched his hand and said, "Everyone, wait a minute, the meal will come soon!" After that, he turned around and was about to walk out, when he suddenly heard Fu Yuan say: "Feibai, move a chair and sit next to me!" ”
Li Feibai agreed, and at the same time understood that Fu Yuan did not need his help anymore, nor did he unload the mill and kill the donkey, it seemed that the guys thought that there were only five people to eat, and only five chairs were placed in front of the table.
He moved a chair and sat down next to Fu Yuan, and said again: "Lord Qian, Lord Feng, Lord Kou, Li Feibai is polite!" ”
Qian Mutong's three reactions were extremely cold, some bowed slightly, some snorted lightly, and no one was willing to give a smile on their faces.
Li Feibai didn't care!
In feudal society, hierarchy is the most important! What is his identity, and what is the identity of others? People didn't feel like they were insulted, and they left the table angrily, which was already very face-saving. What else do you want? I still want people to return the courtesy, and say some kind words like "look up for a long time".
He just didn't look at it, but Fu Yuan was not happy!
Li Feibai is his nobleman, without Li Feibai's idea, I don't know that until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, the three of Qian Mutong will bow their heads and ears like today. If you don't give Li Fei white face, you don't give him face, and he can't let people look down on his nobles.
He patted Li Feibai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Three adults, don't underestimate Feibai, he is a person with great ability!" ”
Qian Mutong let out three "ohs", and his attitude was still cold. Their "oh" was a response to Fu Yuan. The attitude is still cold, I don't believe that Li Feibai has any great ability!
It's no wonder they look down on Li Feibai.
As far as they know, Li Feibai has a good relationship with Qian Zijun! But they have a good relationship with Qian Zijun, so they have to take a look? The three of them are all people of Qian Zijun's generation, and one of them is even Qian Zijun's old man, even Qian Zijun is a child in their eyes, how can they look down on Qian Zijun's friends, just think that Li Feibai is a person who wants to climb Qian Zijun's high branches.
Li Feibai is a friend of the county order! But they are still condescending when they look at the county order, and they are full of cat and mouse, how can they look down on the friends of the county order.
Li Feibai is the owner of Tianxiang Building! This makes it even more unlikely that they will look up to it. The subordinates who run Tianxianglou are also businessmen, Shinong Industry and Commerce, they are ranked first, and businessmen are last, how can they look high.
Besides, these are not enough to make it clear that Li Feibai is a person with great skills, at most it can prove that Li Feibai is a rich businessman.
Fu Yuan didn't know what these officials were thinking, and continued: "When the case was tried just now, Cui Wenxiu also said that Li Feibai is the real shopkeeper of Tianxianglou. Tianxianglou is really good, it is indeed an eye-opener for us, but if it can be said that Tianxianglou can be built, is it a capable person? It may be in the eyes of others, but it is not in our eyes! Isn't it money, as long as there is enough silver, it is not difficult to build a Tianxiang Building that is ten times larger than Tianxiang Building! What kind of skill is this! ”
Qian Mutong smiled all three. Fu Yuan is right, what kind of ability is it to build a building, and he doesn't build it himself, he pays someone to build it.
Fu Yuan said: "But if I say that the bricks that built the building were burned by his brick factory!" Instead of giant trees, cement was poured into the beams and columns, and the cement was produced in his cement factory, and the steel bars were produced in his ironworks. The things in the house are even more important, the glass on the windows is made by his glass factory, the heating pipes are made by his ironworks, the washbasins and urinal are made by his ceramics factory, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and everything is made by himself, and you say he is not a capable man! ”
Qian Mutong can still understand the "factory", and the context is connected, that is, the different names of "cellar" or "place"! But, what the hell is cement, and what the hell is steel bar?
They don't know what to expect, and it's normal to think about it, after all, today's eyes are wide open, and many things are not the first time they have seen them. A young man, but he can build so many factories, he is indeed a capable person.
The three of them suddenly changed their impression of Li Feibai, and they all bowed their hands and said: "The young man is promising, and he is amazing!" ”
Among them, Feng Jiangting hopes to install heating at home, and Kou Zidun hopes to install a bathroom in the house.
Fu Yuan said again: "If you think that he only has this ability, then you will underestimate him. Do you know why Cui Wenxiu took the risk, had to poison Tianxiang Tower, and put him to death? ”
Does this need to be asked? Cui Wenxiu has made it very clear that Li Feibai sold him three useless things, causing him to lose all his money.
Kou Zidun repeated the words he heard from Cui Wenxiu's mouth.
Fu Yuan smiled: "Do you really think that what he sold to Cui Wenxiu were three useless things?" ”
Kou Zidun asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”
Fu Yuandao: "Cui Wenxiu is not a fool, if it is really useless, will he spend more than two million taels of silver to buy it?" It's the first time we've seen everything here, not to mention ordinary people in the capital, even the emperor hasn't seen it. Cui Wenxiu saw that those three things were treasures, so he bought them with a huge amount of money, and wanted to go to the capital to offer treasures, so as to please the emperor and the queen mother. The three adults may be able to understand the mystery here. ”
The three of them didn't ask what the three things Cui Wenxiu bought? But I know in my heart that three things must be rare things in the world, otherwise Cui Wenxiu would not spend a huge amount of money to buy them. But Cui Wenxiu not only did not achieve the expected goal, but returned home, there is only one possibility, Li Feibai has someone to help in the capital, and this person is a master.
None of the three spoke, but the expressions on their faces were already revealing their meaning.
Fu Yuan sighed: "Cui Wenxiu and Cui Yipeng just didn't understand the mystery inside, so they fell to this step. You say, Li Feibai is not a capable person! ”
