Although there is a word 'mountain' in the name, Qianshan Village has nothing to do with the mountain, it is also located on the plain, Qianshan Village is in the west of Li Wen Village, the two villages are about two or three miles apart, across a large wheat field, it is a small village with dozens of families, of which there are about eight households of the Li clan.

Li Dongdong is the best mixed among the Li clan in Qianshan Village, he followed a fellow villager to the capital at the age of 20, initially worked as a bartender in the Beijing tavern, he was smart and studious, and he was clever, and five years later he used the money he saved to set up a tea stall on the side of the Bianhe wharf outside the city.

After a few years, the tea stall became a tea shed, and a tooth man saw that he was smart and capable, so he married his daughter to him.

However, Li Dongdong wanted to make a lot of money, so he took a risk and took out all his savings to invest in the sale of moonshine, but unexpectedly, the moonshine was confiscated by the government, and he also went bankrupt, and even the tea shed that he had worked hard for seven or eight years was forced to pawn and sell to others.

Li Dongdong was desperate, so he had to help his father-in-law run errands and earn some hard-earned money to support his family, but he was not willing to fail, seeing that he had found the way, his father-in-law also agreed to him to enter the business, but he had no capital, he only had to borrow money everywhere, but no one was willing to lend him so much money, until he met Li Yanqing.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Daqi and his son rode a donkey, along the ridge path to Qianshan Village, a few miles away, Li Dongdong's family invited guests today, and yesterday officially sent an invitation, Li Daqi and his son accepted the invitation to come as guests.

As soon as the New Year passed, there was a hint of warmth in the air, and the snow covering the fields had melted, and only a little bit remained in the shade, but it was also powerless to resist the erosion of the warm wind, shrinking and fading day by day.

Even the thin ice in the small ditch is beginning to melt, and the thin layer of ice on the surface of the water is already afraid to step on.

The wheat fields on both sides of the ridge have revealed green seedlings, covering the bare field with a light layer of green, at a glance, full of tender green, so that people's eyes no longer feel boring, quite pleasing to the eye.

Li Daqi's face was gloomy, and he seemed a little reluctant to go to the banquet, he had not fully digested the business experience that his son had instilled in him in the past two days, he was a scholar, where would he do any business, but his son drove ducks to the shelves, if it weren't for the patriarch who was the leader of this business, he wouldn't do it, and he would be satisfied with earning five or six yuan a month, what do you want so much money for?

Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Li Daqi said angrily: "If Li Dongdong wants to talk to me about business alone, I won't pay attention to him, I want to talk to you and talk to him." ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Daddy only needs to do one thing today, sign a cooperation contract, and the specific patriarch will arrange it, and other fathers don't have to worry, eat and drink well, let's go home at night." ”

"So what do you do?" Li Daqi glared at his son and asked.

Li Yanqing patted the bulging schoolbag and smiled: "I have to rush my homework!" School starts the day after tomorrow, and I still have a lot of homework to do! ”

The son has changed from an old man in the shopping mall to a naïve elementary school child in an instant, although Li Daqi has long been used to it, he is still a little confused sometimes, who is in charge between their father and son?

Not long after, the father and son came to Li Dongdong's house, Li Dongdong's family also built six or seven brick houses, the village is considered a wealthy family, although he is the eldest of the three brothers, but his parents live with him, usually he is in the capital, his parents live in his house.

"Second Uncle is finally here, welcome! Welcome! ”

Li Dongdong and his old father came to the entrance of the village to greet him, although his father was more than 60 years old, but he was the same generation as Li Daqi, the two called him brother and brother, and walked all the way to the door not far away.

"Big nephew, find a room for your brother Qing to do his homework, if he doesn't finish it, he will be beaten the day after tomorrow!"

Li Dongdong smiled all over his face, "Second uncle, look at what you said, Brother Qing is the leader of the Boys' Club, the first in the county, how can the master be willing to beat his board." ”

"If you don't fight, you can't make a device, you were often beaten by your father when you were a child, and now you have a chance!"

Li Daqi is quite good at talking, Li Dongdong and his son smiled, the four of them talked and laughed and walked into the courtyard gate, Li Daqi went to the main hall to eat tea, but Li Dongdong led Li Yanqing to the inner room to do homework.

found an opportunity, Li Dongdong expressed his gratitude to Li Yanqing with great gratitude, if it wasn't for Li Yanqing to match him, how could he get this opportunity to turn over.

Although the patriarch only gave him thirty percent of the shares, he also figured it out, his errands for his father-in-law were always just errands, and even if he made more money for his father-in-law, he could only get a little hard money.

But with the patriarch, he is one of the proprietors, as long as the business is bigger, thirty percent of the profit is enough to make him rich.

"Brother Qing, I talked to the patriarch yesterday, all the details have been finalized, we can sign a contract today, and we will be grasshoppers on a rope in the future."

Li Yanqing rolled his eyes, how could he say this, Li Dongdong hurriedly laughed and said: "It's just a joke with my brother, in the future, we will be in the same boat and get rich together!" ”

This is about the same, Li Yanqing asked again: "Is this medicinal material business still in time?" ”

"No problem, I bought it early this time, I only went to Yongji Township to collect all my father-in-law's medicinal materials, and then ran to several other townships, it can be done in a few days, and the patriarch also promised to use the family's cargo ship to transport goods for me, and the freight can be saved a lot, and we can set off next month when the river thaws, and this time we can earn at least three hundred yuan."

"And what about after that?"

Li Yanqing is more concerned about long-term plans, this is his father's long-term job, and he has to build a strong one, and he asked: "What are your plans in the future?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Li Dongdong rubbed his hands, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yesterday I discussed with the patriarch, we can do grain business in the future, Tangyin is a large grain-producing county, the price of wheat and millet is twice as cheap as the capital, if the wheat is collected directly from the farmer's house, it will be cheaper, transported to the capital and sold to the bank, deducting all kinds of taxes and fees, at least 20% of the profit, although the profit is not as much as the medicinal materials, but fortunately, it is safe and stable, encouraged by the imperial court, run a few more times, and you can take back the book in a year." ”

As he spoke, Li Dongdong's eyes were full of longing for the future, and his eyes brightened, as if piles of copper coins were shining in his eyes.

Li Yanqing agrees with this idea, Bianjing has a population of one million, and the daily food consumption is huge, and at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court has lost control of the grain in the capital, relying on a few rice banks to supply the grain of the whole city, and the grain business is not only stable, but also has long-term benefits, which is more suitable for a big landlord like the Li family, this must be the idea of the patriarch, he should have been planning for a long time, and he is just at the right time.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and two little ladies came out one after the other, the front one was slightly smaller, and she looked like she was four or five years old, wearing a big red cotton jacket, combing a double-ring bun, melon seed face, thin eyebrows, and a small blushing face, looking quite delicate and well-behaved.

The little lady in the back is much older, in her early tens, and the little lady in front of her is dressed the same, although she can't talk about the show, but her skin is also white, she is holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and her mouth is busy.

"Third uncle!" The little lady in front ran up and shouted sweetly.

Li Dongdong's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Good Xi'er, your mouth is so sweet!" ”

The older lady in the back looked at Li Yanqing and asked, "Third uncle, where did this little monkey come from?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Dongdong's face sank and said, "Come over and call Uncle Qing!" ”

Li Yanqing almost burst out laughing, he actually became Uncle Qing, these two girls must be Li Dongdong's niece, he straightened his chest and was ready to accept the greetings of the juniors.

The little lady in front obediently stepped forward and gave Wan Fu, "Uncle Qing is good!" ”

The little lady in the back was stunned for a moment, and actually called this little kid uncle, she blushed and muttered in a low voice: "I won't call it!" ”

"If you don't call, your uncle won't give you New Year's money next year!"

Li Dongdong obviously knew how to make his eldest niece submit, so the little lady had to step forward and reluctantly give Li Yanqing, who was a few years younger than herself, a blessing, "I've seen Uncle Qing!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded with satisfaction, grabbed two handfuls of money from his bookbag and handed them to them, "This is... Uncle Qing gave you the New Year's money, go play!"

"Thank you, Uncle Qing!" The younger sister stretched out her hand and happily held the money.

The little lady in the back grabbed the money with a red face, glared at Li Yanqing fiercely, and ran away.

"Sister, wait for me!" The younger sister in the back chased after him.

Li Dongdong looked at their backs and said: "These are the two little ladies of my eldest sister's family, I came to my house to play today, but I made Brother Qing break the bank, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"It's just a few pennies, and the New Year's picture is auspicious!"

"That's right!"

Li Dongdong knew that Li Yanqing was a little rich man who took out two hundred taels of silver, much richer than himself, and a few pennies was really nothing to him, so he didn't say more, and invited Li Yanqing to come into the house to do his homework, and he himself went to greet the guests.

The room where Li Yanqing did his homework was where Li Dongdong's house stacked sundries, mainly because it was relatively quiet and not disturbed by guests, and there were tables and chairs.

Li Yuanqing sat down by the window, took out a pen and paper and prepared to start writing, he looked at the room while studying ink, the room was full of all kinds of waste household items, such as a copper lamp leaking from oil, a thick bowl with a broken side, a stool with a broken leg, a bamboo mat with a hole in it, etc., I don't know how long it has not been touched, and it has been covered with a thin layer of dust.

This must have been cleaned up by the old man, and he was reluctant to throw anything away, at this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw a short sword under the foot of the cabinet, his heart moved, he stepped forward to raise the cabinet slightly, and pulled out the sword.
