On the last day of the new book list, ask for some support. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The main hall is very large, there are a few pots of green welcome plants at the door, the walls on both sides are full of calligraphy, painting and ink treasures, and on the Taishi chair in the center, a middle-aged man in his early forties and wearing a black brocade robe is closing his eyes and recuperating.

Needless to say, this person is the uncle of the Qu family and Qu Mingrui.

Hearing Li Yuanqing come in, Qu Mingrui didn't wake up.

On the top of his head, there is a huge plaque, on which are written in cursive four large characters----- 'Taoguang Yanghui', at a glance, it is from the hand of a famous artist.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran to Qu Mingrui's side and whispered a few words carefully.

Qu Mingrui slowly opened his eyes, a little tired that could not be concealed, he glanced at Li Yuanqing, about five or six seconds, his face instantly put on a patterned smile, hurriedly stood up, and said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "This is Li Shoubei under the command of Mao Junmen, right?" Sure enough, it's a young talent. Qu was just unwell and neglected the distinguished guest. Please also ask Li Shoubei Haihan. Li Shoubei, please, please take a seat. Ah Fu, serve tea. ”

"Yes." The butler called Ah Fu hurriedly walked out of the door carefully.

Li Yuanqing smiled, not polite, sat on the rosewood chair at the head of Qu Mingrui, and said with a smile: "It is rude for Li to take the liberty to disturb Qu Ye." ”

The two exchanged politeness, the housekeeper brought tea, and Qu Mingrui smiled: "I don't know what is the important task of Li Shoubei coming to the cold house today?" ”

"Huh." Li Yuanqing smiled, "The Qu family is a big grain merchant who is famous all over the world, and a certain person can be regarded as admiring it today." Qu Ye also knew that Mao Junmen attacked Liaodong and took root behind the Houjin, and was regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by the old slaves, but although the sons and daughters were brave, various materials were extremely lacking, especially food. I have heard about the high righteousness of the Qu family for a long time, and I came here today to talk to Qu Ye, if it is appropriate, our army wants to purchase some food from the Qu family. ”

Qu Mingrui's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly when he heard this.

Li Yuanqing was introduced by his sister-in-law Qu Minqiu, originally, he thought that Li Yuanqing wanted to come to him to 'turn into a relationship' and ask for a little cheapness, so he didn't particularly treat Li Yuanqing as well.

Although the Qu family is a wealthy businessman, now everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, between officials and gentry, there is basically such a market.

Officials at all levels, for this kind of merchant and wealthy family, can tear a mouthful, that is, a mouthful.

But Li Yuanqing put on a business-like appearance and wanted to talk about business seriously, which made Qu Mingrui a little unable to understand Li Yuanqing's meaning.

Jinshang Group, the path to make a fortune is not complicated, basically based on two industries, one is grain, the other is the ticket number, that is, the money village.

After the accumulation of primitive capital, they took advantage of the geographical advantage, running through the north and south, so that the accumulation is getting bigger and bigger, now it is only the beginning of the second year of the apocalypse, the Ming court still has a strong control over the world, even if they are strong, but they have to be perverse, clamp their tails and be people.

But when it comes to the last years of Chongzhen, the wealth of the world basically depends on their faces.

At this time, seeing that Li Yuanqing's expression did not seem to be fake, Qu Mingrui smiled and said: "Li Shoubei, I don't know how much grain Mao Junmen wants to purchase here?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Over there is Mao Junmen, there is no fixed number yet." However, I estimate that 20,000 taels of silver per year should be the least. ”

How could Mao Wenlong be disdainful of dealing with these profiteers?

The amount of 20,000 taels of silver is probably the total amount of grain consumed in a year by the more than 5,000 people under Li Yuanqing's command.

That's not a small amount.

As a businessman, Li Yuanqing believes that even if Qu Mingrui is extremely high-eyed, he will never let go of the silver and not make money.

Of course, the reason why Li Yuanqing wants to take the line of the Qu family, the most important thing is that they have great powers.

Otherwise, if you can only buy grain from Dengzhou and Laizhou, the pattern is too small, and Li Yuanqing does not have much influence on the land of Denglai, if it is known by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even if Xuanfu Town is thousands of miles away from Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island, as long as the stability of the grain supply can be guaranteed, even if it is more expensive than the market price, Li Yuanqing can completely bear it.

After thinking for a moment, Qu Mingrui couldn't help but smile, "Li Shoubei, I don't know when this transaction will be carried out?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I want to do it as soon as possible." However, our army still has some miscellaneous matters that have not been dealt with, and the time may have to be delayed a little. At the latest, it will be after the beginning of spring. But a certain can pay some deposit in advance to show the sincerity of our army. At that time, Qu Ye only needs to send a caravan to transport the grain to the Dagu port, and we will receive the rest. As for whether you want cash or silver tickets, this can be decided by you. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Qu Mingrui with a smile.

Qu Mingrui picked up the silver ticket and glanced at it, it was two thousand taels, one percent of the amount, which was not a small amount.

"Li Shoubei is really a cheerful person. I took this deal. Is Li Shoubei free this morning? Is it possible to have a light meal in the humble house? ”

Qu Mingrui wanted to have a treat, of course Li Yuanqing would not refuse, and said with a smile: "Then it will disturb Qu Ye." ”

…………

Lunch was sumptuous, with everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water.

After all, before doing business, Li Yuanqing paid the deposit.

Qu Mingrui has been up and down in the business world since he was a child, and in this regard, he will naturally not be as slow as before.

At lunch, Li Yuanqing and Qu Mingrui talked happily, and any thoughts that Li Yuanqing inadvertently revealed would open Qu Mingrui's mind and think about it for a long time.

This made Qu Mingrui even more determined to make a friend like Li Yuanqing.

The Qu family is a century-old wealthy businessman, and Li Yuanqing will not worry that they will repay their debts, although the Jinshang Group is not good, but they are more important than life to reputation.

In this respect, they are much better than the profiteers of later generations.

After lunch, Qu Mingrui personally sent Li Yuanqing out of the gate, which caused the housekeeper and the concierge to be speechless.

They really couldn't understand how the uncle, who had always been arrogant and didn't even pay attention to guerrillas and generals, could be so affectionate to an unruly garrison?

"Brother Li, have a good trip. My brother is here, waiting for Brother Li's fame all over the world. At the door, Qu Mingrui smiled and saluted Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Master Qu, winter will always pass, and spring will not be far away." Qingshan does not change, we will have a period later. ”

Watching Li Yuanqing's back go away, Qu Mingrui gently read Li Yuanqing's words just now, "Winter will always pass, and spring will not be far away?" ”

Suddenly, a hint of an indescribable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand to the housekeeper and said, "Ah Fu, I won't go to the Fan family's field tonight." You go ahead and arrange it. ”

The housekeeper couldn't help but be shocked, "Uncle, the Fan family, the Fan family, but their second master came over in person tonight." ”

Qu Mingrui smiled, "You just said that I was unwell and needed to recuperate." ”

As he spoke, he did not look back, but walked towards the courtyard of the eleventh concubine he had just taken.

…………

Back at Zhang Yunniang's small house, Li Yuanqing found that Miss Qu had been waiting here for a long time, looking at herself with nervous eyes, and Lotus Root was also full of expectations.

Zhang Yunniang was happy last night, her hair bun had been pulled up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Yuanqing's arm affectionately, "Brother, how is Sister Minqiu's matter?" We heard that it was the uncle of the Qu family who personally sent you out of the gate. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and glanced at the women, "Your news is quite well-informed." ”

Miss Qu's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she was about to drip water, in fact, as soon as Li Yuanqing entered Qu Mingrui's house, her slave was waiting outside the door, and she was reported here as soon as possible.

"Master Li......" Miss Qu wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth at all, and she didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing, so she lowered her head embarrassedly and shyly.

Li Yuanqing couldn't tease her anymore, and said with a smile: "I went to Qu's house today to talk about some business matters. As for you, madam, don't be in a hurry, I think the results will come soon. ”

"Oh. That's it......" Miss Qu was a little disappointed, but after a while, she returned to normal.

Of course, she understands that with her eldest brother's temperament, how can things that have been decided be easily changed?

What's more, Li Yuanqing didn't go to ask for a kiss, how could he say such a thing?

And Li Yuanqing is just on guard at this time, even if he asks for a kiss, I'm afraid the eldest brother may not agree......

Suddenly, at this moment, Miss Qu suddenly hoped that if Li Yuanqing's official position could be bigger, how good would it be......

After greeting a few women, Li Yuanqing no longer paid attention to them, and actually came to the back house to rest.

Things are going well on the Qu family's side, and it also gives Li Yuanqing some confidence in his heart, and there will be corresponding adjustments to the future plan.

The future of Quang Ninh City, with Li Yuanqing's ability at this time, is powerless to change anything.

However, Guangning City was the material center of the Ming army in Liaodi at this time, with a large number of weapons, armor, grain and grass reserves, as well as a large number of artisans and military households.

If you want to get some weapons and armor, it only costs some silver, which shouldn't be too much of a problem, but if it's military rations......

This thing is too stinging, in case it is detected, this must be a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, even if Li Yuanqing is bold, he does not dare to make up his mind easily. The gains outweigh the losses.

As for the artisan households and military households, we can think of some ways to take more away.

It's just that Li Yuanqing's roots in Guangning are not deep, and the high-level ones don't have any connections, and it is by no means so easy to ask for people.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing still has some silver in his hand, ~~, most of these silver, must be prepared to buy grain from the Qu family in the future.

Thinking about it, a wicked smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth.

In fact, these problems are not a problem, only a line is needed, connected in series, to find the key point.

For example, in the current situation, if Li Yuanqing can take down Miss Qujia, then ......

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gain of both people and money.

It's just that although the seeds have sprouted, the Qu family is not a small family, Li Yuanqing still has Zhang Yunniang here, even if Miss Qu is willing to nod and marry, this follow-up identity is difficult to arrange, not to mention, even if Li Yuanqing has paid so much, with Miss Qu's temperament, I am afraid she may not be willing to nod and marry.

In a trance, Zhang Yunniang knocked on the door outside, "Brother, are you sleeping?" Can I come in? ”

Li Yuanqing stretched his tired muscles, "Yun Niang, come in." ”

Zhang Yunniang walked in with a bowl of hot porridge, carefully placed it next to the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is the lotus seed porridge that Chunhua's sister-in-law just boiled, you can drink some while it's hot." Junko has just come back and is waiting to see you in the front hall. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, quickly drank the porridge, and said to Zhang Yunniang: "In the evening, let Chunhua's sister-in-law make noodles." I love that noodle. By the way, cook a little more meat. ”

"Hmm. I'll go talk to Sister-in-law Chunhua right away. ”

Zhang Yunniang left with a smile.

Li Yuanqing also came to the front hall, and Shunzi hurriedly came over and reported to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Brother, we have already heard the news of the second prince of the king.........
