Chapter 264: The gentlemen who are planning to go south
Jinding Restaurant, the top floor, is one of the most luxurious, not open to the public, this private room is different from others, other private rooms have warnings and room names, but this room only has four words written directly above the door - glorious years! Rustic, heavy, and smooth! This is written by Li Yi himself, as long as you look at it, there is a majestic and atmospheric momentum. It was the most memorable glorious time.
These four words are also Li Yi's pinnacle work, just like his horse said, even better than Ma said, Ma said that Li Yi was an accidental work, it is a masterpiece of the right time, place and people, and these four words, but on behalf of Li Yi's feelings for the two lives, the glorious years are a spirit, and Li Yi integrated this spirit into the word, so these four words naturally have a shocking momentum. Therefore, this plaque with only four words has become the treasure of Jinding Restaurant and even the town store of Jinding Business Alliance. Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, and even Cheng Yanjin and others came to ask for it many times, but they were blocked by Changle and Li Ke joining forces. People are in the word!
In the end, because of this matter, it went to Li Er, but Li Er was about to ask for it on the spot, but Changle and Li Ke talked about it, and even sprinkled and rolled around to play scoundrels, which made Li Er let go of the pain.
For Changle and Li Ke, the value of this character is not enough to make them so desperate, and the reason why this character is written by Li Yi is only partial, but more is that this character represents the ideals of their Confucian businessmen and gentlemen, and is their spiritual sustenance, it can be said that these four words have witnessed their evolution from a gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble to a young man with ideals, morality, culture and discipline, and now they have won the approval of their families and have also been recognized by the people of Chang'an and even Luoyang. Now the people of Chang'an and Luoyang no longer despise and fear Li Ke, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Jingde, Fang Yiai and others. It's respect from the heart. The reason why they were able to get these was not only because half of the money earned by the business alliance was used for the people, but after publicity, it was already known to the people of Chang'an. But more because of their fair law enforcement, Jinding Business Alliance has adhered to a principle since the day it was established, that is, justice, fairness and openness. At first, the people didn't believe it, but later, when Li Ke and others patrolled day and night, and saw someone making trouble, they punished them directly, no one was used to it, and the most ruthless time was after teaching the sixth prince Li Su a hard lesson. The people really recognized the Shang Alliance, and they also really recognized Li Ke and others, and they all regarded them as protectors!
And these four words are also the reason why they stick to it day after day, whenever they are a little slack, they take a look at these four words, and then have a drink here, vent, and the next day they reload. Therefore, these four words are their spiritual sustenance, and no one is allowed to destroy them.
At this moment, in this private room, the two heads of the business alliance and the charitable foundation are gathered together. Including Li Ke, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Jingde and other gentlemen groups and Changle, Li Xueyan, Li Zixuan and other aristocratic lady groups.
At this moment, these people are sitting in the private room, and the dishes have been served to the table, but none of them move the chopsticks, but sit together and discuss something.
Li Ke: "Changle, do you have any news of Brother Yi'er?" ”
Changle Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes: "No, he hadn't taken office when he wrote to me last time!" ”
Li Ke: "En! Ladies and gentlemen, you all know about the four major families in Jinling County and Wang Xiong of the Taiyuan Wang family, right? ”
Cheng Chumo: "Before I came, I told us that these birdmen are really damned." If you want me to say, you should go up to your majesty to send troops and pluck out all the feathers of this group of birdmen! ”
Li Xueyan's face was bulging like a meat bun. "That's right, they should be extinguished, and if you dare to embarrass my brother Yi, you should be damned!"
However, Wei Shuyu was not in a hurry and said: "Extinguishing must be extinguished, now that my Datang has entered a stage of rapid development, the five surnames and seven wangs are doing this, which is to support my Datang's hind legs, which is a self-digging grave." And the four major families are not to mention, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. They actually dare to engage in China in the territory of our Datang, I really don't know how to write dead words. However, what should be killed is what should be killed, but how to kill is a big problem. Needless to say, the forces of the five surnames and seven wangs, if sending troops can solve the problem, I believe Your Majesty would have done it a long time ago, but the forces between the families are complicated, and they still hold nearly fifty percent of my Datang's official position, once they make a move, then I, that Datang will be paralyzed in an instant, so this matter is urgent; As for the four major families, although their power is small, they should not be forced to come, and they need to be considered in the long run! Wei Shuyu, like Changsun Chong, has always played the role of a think tank in this group, so everyone is also convinced by his words.
Wei Chi Jingde has the most short temper, as soon as he heard Wei Shuyu say that he can't move hard, he can't help it, for him, fists are the best way to solve the problem. "Nerd, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you think we should do?"
Wei Shuyu thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Fang Yiai, and asked, "Yiai, what did my uncle say after he came out of the palace yesterday?" ”
Fang Yiai held his head up, racked his brains and thought for a long time, before he suddenly realized: "By the way, my father seems to have said something inadvertently after he came back yesterday, no matter if he asks, I hope this kid can hold on!" ”
When Wei Shuyu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Changsun Chong, and when he saw that he also had the same look, he knew that they wanted to go together.
The eldest grandson shook the folding fan gently. "Hehe, the meaning of Uncle Fang's words is already obvious, that is, regardless of the matter of Jinling, everything depends on Brother Yi'er's own creation! Moreover, presumably this is also what His Majesty meant! ”
Qin Huaiyu frowned, revealing a look of displeasure. "Regardless of whether you ask? Brother Yi is fighting alone in the front, do you want us to wait in the rear? "Not long after Qin Huaiyu came back, some time ago, he and Cheng Yanjin went to Dong'e County to look for Dong'e Ejiao. Later, Cheng Yanjin was recalled and sent troops to Lanzhou. He was left to deal with the matter on his own. Fortunately, this matter went well, Qin Huaiyu followed Li Yi's instructions, carefully explained to the people of Dong'e County, and told the Dong'e people in detail about the policies of the imperial court, in order to win the trust of the Dong'e people, Qin Huaiyu also lived there for a period of time, and also let the Dong'e people see Qin Huaiyu's sincerity, so they agreed to accept the policies of the imperial court, and fortunately Cheng Biting Jin did not go, otherwise with his urgency, this would be a mess. And after Qin Huaiyu retrieved Ejiao, he begged Sun Simiao to prepare medicine, and after Qin Qiong took the medicine, her condition improved greatly, and now she can walk on her own, according to Sun Sun Simiao's words, after a few months of recuperation, although she can't recover to her peak at the time, at least she can be the same as a normal person, and you can even use force, as long as it's not too drastic!
It is also because of this that Qin Huaiyu's gratitude to Li Yi is indescribable, this is the grace of saving his father, and now the Qin family treats Li Yi as a benefactor. What's more, the Qin family also gained huge benefits because of the Shang Alliance. Therefore, Qin Huaiyu definitely didn't want Li Yi to have any accidents.
Eldest Sun Chong also knew about the matter between Qin Huaiyu and Li Yi, so he was not annoyed but explained with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, Huaiyu first, listen to me, no matter if it is His Majesty who says it, and from the perspective of the imperial court, it is indeed the best choice to wait and see." But I didn't say we wouldn't ask. Don't forget, our business alliance is a non-governmental organization in the final analysis, and has nothing to do with the imperial court. Moreover, Brother Yi came to Jinling, in the final analysis, to develop Jinling County, so the business alliance can give him a huge boost! ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Li Ke slapped the table and said excitedly: "What the eldest grandson means is that we can open the branch of the Shang Alliance to Jinling, and then we can go together, and we can help if there is anything!" ”
"Hey! What a great idea! "Everyone was in for it.
However, Li Zhen said at this time: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that I heard Steward Luo say last night that Lan Wei had applied to him for this matter, which seemed to mean the same thing." However, it seems that he didn't say let's go, he only said that he would let the headquarters provide manpower and material resources! ”
"This ......" everyone was stunned, could this not work.
Wei Shuyu thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, don't forget, the reason why Brother Yi developed Jinling County is to prepare for the development of Jiangnan. And to develop Jiangnan, our business alliance must be the main force, so let's use the reason of early inspection, Brother Yi will not say anything! ”
Cheng Chumo slapped the table. "Haha, okay, that's it, it's still a nerd with a lot of ideas!"
Wei Shuyu: "This is called wisdom. Also, don't call me a nerd! ”
Cheng Chumo waved his hand. "Okay, Wei nerd, as long as your idea is good, what are you talking about?"
Wei Shuyu shook his head helplessly, and then said: "However, we can't go all, we can only go some!" ”
Li Ke smiled bitterly. "There's nothing to dwell on. Li Xuan and Li Chongyi are both princes or sons of princes, and it is not easy for them to leave Beijing without authorization. Just the three of us! Kindness! Add one more Duan Jue! You may have been arranged by your brother Duan Zan to join the army recently! You can stay too! ”
Everyone has no opinion, so it's the best!
Changle saw that the matter of the business alliance was decided, and also said: "Your business alliance has contributed, and we can't lag behind in charity, so it just so happens that we have a lot of surplus money recently, so let's bring it together!" It also happened to open up the situation of the charitable foundation in Jiangnan. Let me tell the queen mother, I, Snow Goose, and Zixuan will go with you! ”
Li Xueyan suddenly exclaimed happily. "Yay! I'm okay with that! ”
Fang Yiai smiled: "Your charity money will be deposited in the bank, so safe and convenient, I will talk to my father when I go back!" ”
Li Ke finally made a decision: "That's it, everyone should prepare well when you go back, and you should explain what you should explain, and in half a month, let's leave Jinling!" ”
