Although Liu Minxiu is a 'mountain village husband', he can train his eldest son to become a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, and he can make such a big deal and run this small poor country impermeable, which is by no means a person with a small eye on a mouse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In later generations, there were always some so-called 'brick families' and 'professors' who liked to use their butts to write articles and engage in some fancy things.

But in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the most insightful, the most knowledgeable, and forward-looking, including the most groundbreaking people, are these 'country' gentry.

The ones who are really stubborn and block progress are the bigwigs who pat their butts and make decisions.

Because they have to protect their vested interests, how can they allow change?

At this time, Liu Minxiu recognized at a glance that what Li Yuanqing was holding in his hand was a cigar from the New World.

And looking at Li Yuanqing's appearance, it seems that this has become a hobby that he is accustomed to, which ...... That's really ......

You must know that cigars are produced in the New World, thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, but Li Yuanqing can be regarded as a hobby......

It is no wonder that Li Yuanqing has reached such a status and identity at such an age, and Li Yuanqing's strength is really ...... It's unfathomable.

After a while, Liu Minxiu reacted, took the cigar respectfully, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, this, this is a cigar, right?" I heard that it was a treasure from the distant New World, and this is really a treasure. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing lit a cigar with a smile, looked into Liu Minxiu's eyes and said, "Liu Yuanwai, do you still have research on these imported Western goods?" ”

"Huh."

Liu Minxiu smiled hurriedly: "Li Shuai, don't dare to do research." In his early years, when he was doing business in the south, he was fortunate enough to see this kind of treasure a few times, and then he had an impression. However, although this cigar can refresh the mind, the taste is really strong, and it is difficult to enjoy the old bones. ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Tobacco is a thing that has both advantages and disadvantages. How to use it depends on the control of each person. No more, no less, just right. ”

Liu Minxiu had already touched Li Yuanqing's rhythm at this time, and Li Yuanqing's attitude had been tepid, in fact, the door had been opened to him, and Liu Minxiu had relaxed a lot.

said with a smile: "Li Shuai's avenue, the old decay is really beyond the reach of the dust." If you can follow Li Shuai and get Li Shuai's guidance, old decay is death, then there is no regret. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Liu Yuanwai is too modest." Being able to have Liu Yuanwai drink tea and chat, Yuanqing also enjoyed it very much. ”

When the fog lifted, the topic became much clearer.

Liu Minxiu made it clear that he wanted to do his part for the development of southern Liaoning and the Changsheng Camp.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

For a truly capable and knowledgeable gentleman like Liu Minxiu, how could Li Yuanqing turn him away?

The two sides quickly reached a settlement.

Li Yuanqing also made it clear that in the future affairs of the Liaoning South Commercial Bank, it will open a door for the Yutian Liu family.

Unconsciously, the two had been chatting for most of the hour, and at the end of the topic, Liu Minxiu mentioned his second young master, but said: "Li Shuai, Maocai, this kid, hey...... From childhood to adulthood, it simply broke the heart of the old decay. If Li Shuai doesn't dislike it, this unsuccessful rabbit cub will be handed over to Li Shuai to polish! Whether it is life or death depends on Li Shuai. ”

If the previous conversation made Li Yuanqing realize that this Liu Minxiu has some ability and knowledge, and is a partner who can cooperate, but at this time, his words made Li Yuanqing can't help but start to look at him again.

This old man, with his brain and heart, is really not ordinary.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Since Liu Yuanwai can trust Yuanqing, Yuanqing will no longer shirk." Second young master, I'll take it! Come on, invite the second young master over. ”

"Yes."

After a while, Second Young Master Liu, who was waiting in the small tent outside the door, was quickly brought in by his own soldiers.

Second Young Master Liu no longer had the arrogance he had before, so he hurriedly 'pounced' and knelt on the ground, "Little Liu Maocai, I've seen Li Shuai." ”

Even if his father was right in front of him, he didn't dare to say more.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Liu, don't you know each other if you don't fight?" Arise now. ”

But how dare Liu Maocai get up, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Li Shuai is here, how dare the little one get up?" ”

On the side, Liu Minxiu's clenched palm couldn't help but let go a little, his son is not too stupid after all.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Brother Liu, your father is already planning to hand you over to me, what do you think?" Hehe. Don't be nervous. If you don't like life in the army, I will never force you. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Maocai didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, his father had actually 'sold' him, and he didn't know why for a while.

He secretly glanced at his old father, but found that Liu Minxiu was looking at the fur on the top of the tent lightly, and did not look at him at all.

Liu Mao is stupid, but he is not really stupid.

At this time, he already knew that he had no choice at all.

His father was able to get him this opportunity, I don't know how much it cost him.

Busy desperately to Li Yuanqing's forehead, "The little one can serve under Li Shuai, that's really a small blessing!" The little one will do his best, follow Li Shuai's side, and smear Li Shuai's liver and brain! ”

…………

Li Yuanqing did not leave Liu Minxiu for dinner.

The main reason is that it is not early tonight, and he will be in a hurry tomorrow, and he will deepen his contact with the Liu family again, so he can only wait for the time to return.

Liu Minxiu, how could he cause trouble to Li Yuanqing, so he said goodbye and left, preparing his thoughts for the reception of Liu's village after Li Yuanqing's return.

Back in the big tent, Yang Jiao~Niang, Li Liuli, and Zhao Mei were still waiting for him, and a pot of tempting lamb chops was simmering in the hot and tumbling cauldron.

Next to it, there are a few small cold dishes, and the hot water basin is warm with wine.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's so late, why don't you eat first, what are you waiting for me to do?" Did San Lang and Fang Xin sleep? ”

Yang Jiao~ Niang was just moistened by Li Yuanqing not long ago, she was glorious, charming and moving, and said with a smile: "If the master doesn't come, how dare the slaves and maids eat?" Yuanqing, sit down. We're all starving. The two little ones have fallen asleep. ”

How could Li Yuanqing still be polite? Haha laughed and sat down on the main seat, and the family began to eat.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, when Li Yuanqing had almost eaten, Yang Jiao~ Niang smiled: "Yuanqing, that cripple Zhao, Brother Zhao, has settled down." I went to see them just now, and his youngest son's illness seemed to be in trouble. They've always wanted to see you, do you want to see them? ”

Li Yuanqing looked up at Yang Jiao~ Niang.

Yang Jiao~ Niang smiled again: "Yuanqing, I always feel that this Zhao lame man is not simple. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "It's okay." I'll go see them. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing looked at Li Liuli and Zhao Mei again, "It's good to warm the quilt for the master." ”

The two girls blushed when they came, but they nodded obediently.

…………

Zhao's lame family was arranged separately in a small tent, about six or seven square meters.

Rao is a small tent, but the living conditions and infrastructure are much better than their homes. Two small braziers are enough to ensure that the tent is always warm.

Zhao Xiaomao had already fallen asleep in the corner.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was dragging her cheeks in a daze.

Zhao Cripple kept rubbing the arrows in his hand until Li Yuanqing came in, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up respectfully and said: "Li, Li Junmen, you, how are you ......?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Zhao, sit." What do you think? Can you still get used to living in a tent? Xiaoxiu, have you eaten? ”

Zhao Xiaoxiu's little face flushed, and she nodded obediently, and said unspeakably shyly: "Thank you, thank you Li Junmen for your concern." Our father and son have already eaten. ”

After a moment, she added, "We ate lamb chops." There was a whole lamb. Xiao Mao has eaten all of it today. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing and glanced at Zhao Cripple, "Brother Zhao, let's go out for a walk?" ”

Zhao Cripple was flattered when he arrived, and he never dreamed that the famous Li Yuanqing would be so approachable......

But after a moment, he also reacted, and hurriedly got up respectfully, but said with some indescribable embarrassment: "Li, Li Junmen, you, you really look up to the villain." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't deny it, and took the lead in walking out of the tent with a smile.

Zhao lame thought for a moment, grabbed his hard bow, grabbed the quiver bag, and then walked out of the tent quickly.

At this time, fine snowflakes were already falling in the sky.

Or it can't be called snowflakes, but finely crushed Xiaoice slag.

In the Northland, in winter, the sun is rarely seen, and the weather is always so endless and seemingly endless.

Although the ice slag is a little hurtful, but at this time, everyone is wearing thick, so there is not much trouble.

Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand and quietly felt the fine ice slag, which fell into his palm and quickly melted.

Zhao Cripple had already come to Li Yuanqing's side at this time, and stood respectfully.

He also wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing, but he really didn't know what to say......

Li Yuanqing turned around at this time, looked at Zhao Cripple and said, "Brother Zhao, your leg was broken by Liu Maocai?" ”

Zhao Cripple couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Li Junmen, words, words can't be said like this." My leg has been suffering from chronic illness for many years, but I can't completely blame Liu Maocai. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "I have already decided to recruit Liu Maocai into my army." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Cripple couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he accepted it as if he was accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai governs the army, and everyone in the world has heard of it." Liu Maocai's essence is actually not too bad. Speaking of which, back then, if he hadn't lent me the silver, Xiao Mao wouldn't be alive now......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, turned around, and looked at Zhao Cripple, "Brother Zhao, before, you had experience in the army, right?" ”

Zhao lame smiled bitterly again: "In front of Li Shuai, the little one doesn't dare to tell a lie." Back then, the small one was a personal soldier under the command of Sun Degong of the Guangning Army. ”

"Sun Degong?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned.

After a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "Sun Degong is really ...... Brother Zhao, then we are not outsiders. Back then, the reason why I, Li Yuanqing, was able to lead the troops, and Sun Degong helped me a lot. ”

"But Li Shuai, Shaling ......"

Zhao Cripple didn't know what to say, "Li Shuai, the sins I did when I was young, I, I can only use the rest of my life to pay back." ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Zhao Cripple's eyes and said, "Back then, when Sun Degong ran away, why didn't Brother Zhao follow?" With your ability, it's not difficult to eat, right? ”

Zhao Cripple couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Li Shuai, to be honest." Back then, when I was under Sun Degong, I was not favored. As you can see, I can't speak. Waiting for something to happen, I knew that Sun Degong was going to rebel. In addition, Xiaoxiu and Xiaomao are both in Quang Ninh. I sneaked back to Quang Ninh City......"

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "Brother Zhao, Mrs. Zun, are you okay?" ”
