In the end, the news of the Eight Banners business still spread, although the old man had issued a gag order, but the secret thing is like the wind, but there is a slight gap, even if the wall is thick, it can't be covered, no, after the discussion of the Heart Palace, it has only been a few days of hard work, and the whole Beijing division has been spreading, and the children of the Eight Banners have been hotly discussed, so they rushed to Prince Cheng's Mansion to inquire about the number of people, which made the third master annoyed, but also couldn't help but be upset, and after a few days of silence, Finally, I couldn't help but call Hongqing to the study in the inner courtyard, planning to ask for an understanding.

"The child knocks to his father."

Late autumn is said to be the day of agricultural leisure, but for the Ministry of Industry, it is the busiest season, because only the agricultural leisure side is the best time to mobilize the people to implement large projects on a large scale, whether it is to build water conservancy or build the imperial tomb, the late autumn season is the beginning of the construction of the country, as the actual principal of the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, the sky is dark, just returned to his own house, people have not yet entered their own courtyard, they were passed to the study by the third master, as soon as they turned the screen, they saw that the face of the third master was cloudy and uncertain. With just a turn of his brain, he already understood the intention of the third master to summon each other at this time, and suddenly laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but rushed to the front and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me."

The third master is very unhappy, there are two reasons, one is that he is dissatisfied with Hongqing who has not even discussed it with himself, so he stabbed the matter of the Eight Banners business directly to the old man, and the other is that he feels sorry for the money, no side, if it is a hundred thousand silver a year, the third master will not care, and the smile will pass, but at present, the input involved in the Eight Banners business is millions of taels per year, and the third master can not laugh a little, at this time facing the initiator Hongqing, although the third master did not attack on the spot, but the voice is obviously a little less soft, a little more cold.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

The third master's thoughts, Hongqing knows it in his heart, but he doesn't care, and he doesn't even have the slightest remorse, not for anything else, just because Hongqing knows the third master's personality too well, don't look at the third master's long-sleeved dancing on weekdays, and also has a good name for charity, but it's all for outsiders to see, in fact, the third master's mind is really not open to the point of treating money as dung, if you really tell him in advance that you want to hand over the shipping to the Eight Banners public, the third master doesn't jump to scold his mother is a strange thing, therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Hongqing simply didn't know about the third master, as for the explanation afterwards, Hongqing had already made enough preparations, but he was not afraid of prevarication, because of this, even if the third master's voice was not right, Hongqing was definitely not afraid, so he just thanked him calmly, and then bowed down and stood with his hands down, making a look of listening to the instructions.

"Has the Ministry of Industry been busy lately?"

Before Hongqing arrived, the third master was full of complaints, but when Hongqing arrived, the third master really didn't know how to ask for a while, not for anything else, just because the overseas trade was all Hongqing's own business, and his third master actually had nothing to do with it, logically speaking, no matter how Hongqing planned to deal with it, the third master had no reason to put his beak, besides, most of the third master's own use was supported by Hongqing's money from the firm, in this case, to blame Hongqing for spending money indiscriminately, It seemed that there was something unreasonable, so the words of scolding lingered in the stomach of the third master for a long time, and he was embarrassed to say it, and at the end, he just asked a sentence without being salty.

"Back to my father's words, there have been more things lately, but the child can still handle it."

Hongqing was already waiting for the third master to go crazy, but he didn't expect that the third master had been holding back for a while, and he only asked such nonsense, and he couldn't help but be happy again, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, so he just replied calmly.

"Well, that's good, if you need Amma's help, just ask."

In fact, the third master just asked casually without words, and when he saw Hongqing answering so seriously, he couldn't immediately cut to the topic, and in desperation, he could only give a perfunctory promise.

"Yes, the boy knows."

The third master didn't open his mouth to ask about the matter, Hongqing didn't want to take the initiative to say it, the matter was basically a foregone conclusion, even if the third master was reluctant, he couldn't change the result, even so, if he could pretend to be confused, Hongqing would be happy to be tight.

"Well, there have been a lot of rumors about the Eight Banners in the market recently, do you know what's going on?"

The third master was still unwilling in the end, although he knew that if he asked, it would be in vain, and it would not have much impact on the result at all, but at the end, he still asked in a deep voice.

"Father Wang Mingjian, this matter is indeed related to the child, the thing is like this, at the end of August, the fourth uncle on this chapter, said that the Cao family's debt has not yet been clarified, because the child is the guarantor, Huang Ma Fa will call the child privately, ask the child what the matter should be, the child does not dare to hide, this will be the truth of overseas trade, Huang Ma Fa heard that overseas trade has ten times the huge profits, very surprised, then asked whether the court can come forward to seek it, the child said: This is afraid and the education is not good, Huang Ma Fa also deeply thinks, Later, he said that if it was done in the name of the Eight Banners, it might be able to avoid the conflict of education, and the child could hear this, so he didn't dare to resign, so he agreed with Huang Ma Fa, which is the origin of the Eight Banners firm. ”

For the sake of the safety of his little buttocks, Hongqing didn't plan to tell the truth, so he sincerely put the responsibility on the old man's body, no one, even if he gave the third master and the two more courage, he definitely didn't dare to run to the old man to ask for an understanding.

"Well, I see, Huang Ama really has good intentions for the Eight Banners."

The third master is a shrewd person, although what Hongqing said seems to be self-justifying on the surface, but the third master obviously doesn't believe it, but he doesn't believe it or not, but he can't go on and on, otherwise, it will be too ugly to eat, but if you don't ask questions, the unhappiness in your heart is not much reduced, but it is a little stronger, and the words you say can't help but have a sour vinegar taste.

"The little prince has done a very good job in this matter, and those who can have the world in their hearts can have hope of becoming a great weapon!"

The vinegar smell of the third master is too obvious, and everyone in the study is a shrewd person, how can they not hear it, but the reactions are different - Hongqing is pretending to be confused, and Li Minquan does not dare to intervene, but Old Master Chen has no scruples, glanced at the third master dissatisfiedly, and said a word meaningfully.

"What the master said is very true, Qing'er has to do it with her heart this time, so as not to disappoint Huang Ama's cultivation heart."

As soon as the old master said this, the old face of the third master couldn't help but turn red, but how could he dare to be more serious with the old master Chen, so he had no choice but to make a serious appearance and pretend to give Hongqing a lecture.

"Yes, the child will do his best to remember the teachings of his father."

As soon as he heard the third master's unhearted words, Hongqing almost burst out laughing, that is, the city government was good, so he didn't burst into laughter on the spot, but in order to prevent accidents, he hurriedly lowered his head in disguise, and promised to say respectfully.

"Well, that's fine, it's not early, so let's go down and rest first."

The third master originally wanted to ask about the articles of association of the Eight Banners firm, but after thinking about it, he felt that his ability in this area was to catch up with Hongqing, and it was just a vain question to ask, so he stopped thinking about it, so he waved his hand and sent Hongqing away.

"Yes, the child is gone."

Hongqing is tired of a whole day today, this time he was called by the third master, at this time he has not even used dinner, he is already tired and hungry, how can he have the heart to accompany the third master nonsense, this heard the third master say this, he was happy to obey his fate, and hurriedly made a salute, and then turned back to the "Cuishan Residence" by himself.

"Master, sir, Qing'er has come up with such a Eight Banners firm, and it is difficult to predict whether the court situation is worried or happy, I don't know if you two have any plans about this?"

Although he no longer thinks about the silver that is destined to fly away, the third master is still a little uncertain about the appearance of the Eight Banners firm, lest he miss his future because of this incident.

"Great goodness!"

Chen and Li are both very exquisite, even if the third master said something ambiguous, but the two of them knew what the third master wanted to ask as soon as they heard it, the difference is that Li Minquan's ability to calculate is slightly inferior, and he has not been able to calculate the advantages and disadvantages for a while, but the old master Chen has already made a calculation in his chest, and he gave a clear answer concisely.

"The prince is clear, and his subordinates also think that this matter is really beneficial to the prince's plan, but it is necessary to prevent villains from making trouble, and it is expected that when the business is established in the future, there will be some competition between the parties, but as long as we stabilize our hearts, we can be invincible."

Although Li Minquan is a little worse in wisdom, but compared with peerless sages like Old Master Chen, he is also quite a good person, this has Old Master Chen's point, he quickly calculated the pros and cons, and then spoke out to elaborate Old Master Chen's opinion in detail.

"Well, that's right, a group of sneaky people always like to do sneaky things, but they don't want the emperor to be the wise lord, these villains are just jumping off the beam, so why not let them make trouble."

In the past few years, under the repeated victories of the third master, his self-confidence has been bursting, and he really has the confidence to look down on your brothers, and he really doesn't put the small means of your brothers in his eyes.
