~~~~~~

After a few words of greeting, Nian'er offered fragrant tea, and Li Yuanqing smiled: "Shen Ye is a distinguished guest." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoDo you have time to come to Yuanqing here today? ”

Shen Shikui was slightly embarrassed, and after a while, he came to his senses and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, you really can't hide it...... This time, it's my brother, I'm ...... There is something that asks you to ......"

Shen Shikui can barely be regarded as Mao Wenlong's father-in-law, and Li Yuanqing is Mao Wenlong's nephew......

But at this time, Shen Shikui called himself 'old brother' in front of Li Yuanqing, and it can be seen that this guy must be in big ~ trouble now, so he can pull his body so low.

As the old saying goes, "Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths." ”

People in the rivers and lakes are all mixed on the scene, and everyone knows a lot of things.

The outside is the same, but the inside~, the cold and warm, but it is 'like a person drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing'.

At this time, seeing that Shen Shikui's attitude was so low, Li Yuanqing did not show any surprise, took a sip of tea lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, you and I are not the first day of acquaintance. If there is anything, you can just say it to Yuan Qing. If Yuanqing can help, he will do his best. ”

As soon as Shen Shikui heard Li Yuanqing's words, he recovered most of his spirits.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: 'It's no wonder that Li Yuanqing is so young that he can mix such a foundation, and at this time, even Dongjiang can't compare." Whether it is Li Yuanqing's mind, momentum, or means, even he Shen Shikui can't find fault. ’

After a moment, Shen Shikui said with a wry smile: "Yuanqing, this time, brother, I'm here to borrow grain from you." ”

"Borrowed food?"

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Master Shen, I remember, the sweet potatoes in Lushun last year had a good harvest, right?" What ......?"

At this time, although Lushun is a 'special case' in southern Liaoning, after all, there is Mao Wenlong's face, and Li Yuanqing has not reserved the optimization results of Changsheng Island and southern Liaoning, and has been sharing the results with Lushun.

Of course, the secrecy of armaments is an exception.

"Hey......"

Shen Shikui sighed deeply, and said helplessly with some embarrassment: "Yuanqing, this matter, it's all to blame for my dizziness, and I did something stupid......"

Li Yuanqing's attitude is very open, and Shen Shikui naturally can't hide it.

This matter, after all, is not a trivial matter, especially the deficit number, it is by no means a small amount, Shen Shikui did not dare to hide it, and was busy narrating the incident to Li Yuanqing in detail.

It all started with last year's sweet potato harvest.

Because of the storage, it is impossible to store the fruit directly, but must be sliced and dried before being put into storage.

Among them, except for about seventy percent, the common people left for their own consumption, and the other thirty percent had to be handed over to the Dongjiang garrison in Lushun.

As the saying goes, 'money is a man's guts, clothes are a man's face'.

In the past, when he had no money, Shen Shikui was also conscientious in his work, walking on thin ice, after all, he was born as a businessman, although he was considered an 'old oilman', but he could not be regarded as a 'veteran oilman'.

To a large extent, Shen Shikui also wants to make a career in Lushun and let others know that he, Shen Shikui, did not only rely on his in-law relationship with Mao Wenlong to sit on the throne of Lushun.

It's a pity that people's abilities are big and small, especially when they are excited and impulsive, and the decisions they make can easily fall into the pit, or even in the big pit.

With so much food in stock, Shen Shikui's heart also itched.

After all, these grains have been kept in the warehouse, and it is really a waste if you don't say anything.

Especially in the Dongjiang headquarters and the fields around Zhenjiang last year, the sweet potato harvest was also good, and Mao Wenlong's side, understanding Lushun, was not in a hurry to hand over the grain stored to the headquarters and escorted directly to Phi Dao.

Shen Shikui thought about using these sweet potatoes to store grain to do some things and earn some silver.

It is different from Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island, including other places in southern Liaoning.

Lushun's position is very critical, Shen Shikui has to rely on Li Yuanqing on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is also deeply guarded against Li Yuanqing.

I was afraid that Li Yuanqing would be ruthless one day and swallow his Lushun into his stomach.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing's affairs in Liaonan Commercial Bank naturally did not have his share of Shen Shikui.

But Shen Shikui is a businessman after all, and sweet potatoes are directly used to eat, which may not be accepted by the people in the customs for a while, but Shen Shikui knows that Li Yuanqing's southern Liaoning has always used dried potatoes to make wine.

The famous Liaonan Laojiao is made with dried potatoes as the main raw material.

Shen Shikui started to use these dried sweet potatoes from the military reserves to exchange some silver, and then used the silver to buy dried sweet potatoes from the common people to supplement the military reserves.

After all, the lives of the people in Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Li Yuanqing, the people of Lushun are all in their eyes.

Who would not earn money if they have money?

Not to mention, in addition to dried sweet potatoes last year, Lushun's grain harvest was also good.

Especially~, to a large extent, dried sweet potatoes are actually just supplementary food, not staple food.

Because even if the dried sweet potato is ground into flour, it must be mixed with flour before steaming steamed buns and pancakes, and the simple dried sweet potato can only be used to cook porridge and drink.

Shen Shikui also wanted to use his means to add more benefits to the people of Lushun, strengthen his prestige, and strengthen his control over Lushun.

With this thought, he quickly sent his own soldiers to contact everywhere to find a home for these dried sweet potatoes.

Although Liaodi is 'lonely overseas' at this time, the sea route of Liaohai is very smooth, and Shen Shikui's identity is very well-connected in the Dongjiang Army, and within a month, there is a lot of news on his side.

There are many people who have shown interest in this matter.

Dry potatoes are used to make wine, this craft is actually not complicated, especially in the Jiangnan and Fujian areas, and the people have already had skills.

It's just that how to get the purity of the wine made from dried sweet potatoes to the old cellar in southern Liaoning is something that others can't master.

In addition, Mao Wenlong was in full swing at this time, standing side by side with Li Yuanqing, and many businessmen around him were also changing their methods, and they were close to Mao Wenlong.

Shen Shikui soon had a big harvest.

There was a big business that claimed to be Nanjing's 'Qiyun Society', which showed a strong interest in the matter, and among many people, the highest bidder.

After all, although Li Yuanqing is prestigious and famous at this time, it is only a matter of war and money to be earned, and everyone is 'fair competition', so naturally they will not care about this matter and can be an enemy of Li Yuanqing.

In particular, the sphere of influence of the Qiyun Society is in Jiangnan.

The people of Qiyun Club quickly sent a fixed amount of 50,000 taels of silver, and Shen Shikui didn't think much about it, even if he asked people to load them with 50,000 taels of silver.

But in January, the people from Qiyun Club came again, and they asked for 150,000 taels of silver, but they said that they were a little tight now, and they needed to wait for the goods to arrive, and then send the silver over.

Shen Shikui didn't have so much inventory at that time, so he first tried his best to keep the people of Qiyun Society, and at a high price, he took credit from the hands of the people, and waited until the silver from Qiyun Society came, and then replenished the silver to the people.

Things went very smoothly, and in less than three days, Zhou Zheng had been dealt with.

But Shen Shikui never dreamed of it. The people of Qiyun Club took the goods of 150,000 taels of silver, and there was no trace of them again.

Shen Shikui sent someone to Nanjing to inquire, and only then did he know that there was no such name in Nanjing at all, and he Shen Shikui was completely tricked by someone as a monkey.

Especially~, just a few days ago, Dongjiang Mao Wenlong sent an order, in order to prepare for this year's new offensive, asking Shen Shikui to make up for last year's offerings.

The people of Lushun, Shen Shikui can still use various means to prevaricate, but ~~, Mao Wenlong's side, how dare he prevaricate?

You must know that Mao Wenlong's shrewdness is definitely not a mortal!

Even if Shen Shikui has his baby daughter to support him, how dare he cheat on Mao Wenlong in this kind of thing? That's not looking for death!

At this time, among the common people of Lushun, they didn't know who came out of the rumor, saying that it was he, Shen Shikui, who had swallowed all the silver and grain, and he couldn't afford to pay it back.

Shen Shikui was so anxious that he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights, and after thinking about it, he could only be Li Yuanqing, who came to Changsheng Island, sought wealth, and had hands and eyes.

"Yuanqing, old brother, I have figured it out now. This~, this is likely to be a dog Tartar's means! Yuanqing, brother, even if I lose this official position and go to this skin, it doesn't matter! However, the people of Lushun are afraid, afraid that they will be pitted! ”

In the end, Shen Shikui's eyes were red, and tears were about to flow out.

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning.

Although Shen Shikui has said it in detail, Li Yuanqing is sensitive to realize that this guy~, he is not completely telling the truth.

It is obviously not reasonable to give the goods of his life to someone who is not too familiar with it so easily.

Unless it's his Shen Shikui's brain show that is funny.

But how could Shen Shikui's brain be so muddy?

Eighty percent.

The opponent's 'sugar-coated cannonball' offensive was extremely violent, making Shen Shikui a little unable to find the north.

However, Shen Shikui is not wrong about one thing, looking at this method, it really looks like Huang Taiji's means.

But if you just take this, then you will say that Shen Shikui 'fornicated' Tartar, I am afraid that he has really wronged him.

Shen Shikui's temperament, Li Yuanqing can still touch some of it.

This fight is very competitive, the ancestral property and business inherited by the previous family were destroyed by the dog Tartar, and many relatives died in the hands of the Tartar, and he has always hated the Tartar.

Historically, on Shicheng Island, Shen Shikui also fought to the end before being captured by the Tartars.

When facing the later Manchu Dynasty Yingwu King Azig, Shen Shikui behaved very manlikely, with a lot of heroism, and bluntly said 'begging for death'.

Seeing that Shen Shikui had no intention of surrendering, Azig did not ink, and directly ordered the servants to behead him, and he could be regarded as a vigorous death.

And Shen Shikui's death also means that the Dongjiang River, which has flourished for more than ten years, is completely wiped out.

However, Shen Shikui's nephew, Shen Zhixiang, took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was willing to be the lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Shen Shikui fell into this 'game' at this time, obviously 'groundless'.

"Shen Ye, I don't know~~, how much is the deficit in it? How much should Shen Ye offer to Phi Dao Mao Shuai? ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Shen Shikui quietly.

Shen Shikui was even more embarrassed when he arrived, his old face was a little red, and he said, "Yuanqing, really, I really don't hide it." Lushun now, now, seven, seven, eight, eight, add up...... In total, more than 330,000 stone ...... are owed."

"Three hundred and thirty thousand?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned.

Shen Shikui said with some trembling embarrassment: "Yuanqing, old brother, I'...... I'm also blinded by lard! Completely fall into the way of others...... Yuanqing, you have to pull my brother for this matter. Now, now it's only you, who can pull the old brother out of the fire......"
