The living room in the backyard of the north and south wine shops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he had met Chen Ruolan a few times before, this should be Li Qingshan's first serious visit to the two sisters.
thought that Li Qingshan must have come for the shop, if it wasn't for the shop, at least it would be licking bricks or soy sauce, who knew that it was Song Buren who asked as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Ruolan and Tang'er were obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Tang'er pouted at her sister Nunu, meaning: I said it, this guy is very weird, he acts inexplicably, and he often acts in a whimsical way.
Chen Ruolan smiled and said, "Tang'er, my sister has just arrived here, and the one surnamed Song should be more familiar than my sister." You tell Li Gongzi, I just happened to understand this opportunity, and I will have to deal with this person in the future. ”
As he spoke, he bowed his head lightly and cast an encouraging look.
Tang'er glanced at Li Qingshan, pouted and said, "Boy, isn't the person you asked a good person......
Li Qingshan replied: "It's okay, Miss Tang'er, please rest assured, I'm ...... Not a good guy either. ”
Chen Ruolan covered her mouth and snickered, but Tang'er glared at him weakly, and then talked about that Song Buren.
Song Buren is one of the few big merchants in the orange fragrance station, and he is also a little powerful in the local area, and there are a lot of things under his hands, inns and wine shops, the two most profitable local industries, needless to say, are medicinal materials, fruits, cloth shops and other industries are also all intervened, anyway, as long as it is a profitable business, Song Buren will not let it go easily, even if this business is not glorious, but as long as it is profitable, Song Buren will fly up like a fly, such as the garlic dumping incident.
Tang'er talked for a long time, and finally showed a look of disdain on his face: "Although this person has a lot of industry, he has always had a very bad reputation in the vicinity, and he is known as Song Buren. ”
"I've heard of this name, and it's a wonderful name."
Li Qingshan answered, and suddenly asked with a serious face: "Miss Tang'er, if you were asked to use one word to describe this person, which one would you choose?" ”
Tang'er was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and finally squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Greed." ”
Li Qingshan clapped his hands and laughed: "Greedy, very good, very good, I'm afraid he won't be greedy." Miss Tang'er, it seems that you know this person very well......"
Tang'er said angrily: "Can you not understand? My peers are enemies, and I know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, which my sister told me. Besides......"
"And what?"
"Besides, a few times ago, those local inns and wine shops, all kinds of despicable methods they used against our shopkeepers, I secretly asked Uncle Qi to pay attention, this surnamed Song can't get rid of it, I'm afraid it's still the master's envoy. Naturally, I took more time to get to know such people. ”
Chen Ruolan also nodded at Li Qingshan and said, "Yes, I also remember that Uncle Qi once told me to beware of this person making some small moves behind his back." ”
Li Qingshan suddenly realized: "No wonder you pay so much attention to this person, it turns out that there is still this relationship." Alas, peers are indeed enemies, this truth is really not easy through the ages......"
Chen Ruolan saw that he was very interested in Song Buren, and at first thought that he cared about the operation of the shop, but at this time she faintly felt that something was wrong, so she asked: "Li Gongzi, why did you suddenly ask about this person alone today?" ”
"There's no special reason, I just saw that this person had been pouring those garlic heads recently and making a lot of money, so I ...... I want to know about it, and maybe I can make some money from it. Li Qingshan's tone was a bit like a joke, but it was not very similar, it was unpredictable, "It's not good to ask others about this kind of thing, if you ask too much, others will definitely think that I have a fancy for their family's property and the idea of beating their daughter, if it's an ugly girl, I can't wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River, ask you the fastest." ”
Tang'er was in a hurry, and her eyes were so sharp that she could split Li Qingshan on the spot: "Stinky boy, do you still want to make a fortune from it?" How dare you do this kind of thing that is detrimental to yin morality? I'm not afraid that I won't ......have a son in the future."
"Nothing ......"
Li Qingshan really wants to say that if there is no chicken-chicken, it may be a female baby, you are not not, if you want to have a man, it is a big deal to create another one, but think about the brutality of this girl, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't hold back, and it would not be too late to provoke her when her skin and flesh itched.
Chen Ruolan knew that her sister was actually kind-hearted, and when she heard her scolding, she also nodded and said, "Yes, Master Li, when it comes to garlic, I have also heard about it." Alas, although the nature of merchants is profit-seeking, this kind of behavior is despised by our two sisters. ”
Speaking of this, she sighed again: "But this is not something we can govern after all, and the government is also turning a blind eye, but it has suffered those people who have been deceived......"
"Sister, the government can't manage it now if it wants to. I've heard that the government is doing things more regularly than before. Since the promulgation of the new law, all provinces and counties have to act according to the new law, and they must not be sloppy. Although the emperor is far away here, according to my observations in the past few months, in terms of strict laws, the orange fragrance post is impeccable. Since there is no explicit provision in the new law that such acts are not allowed, I am afraid that even if the government really wants to take care of it, it will not be able to do anything other than the person surnamed Song. ”
Chen Ruolan obviously agreed with her opinion, "Yes, although Song Buren's behavior is morally repugnant, but in legal terms, it is really insidious!" ”
Li Qingshan also gritted his teeth and scolded coldly: "This person's name is Buren, and he should have spread benevolence widely, but he didn't expect to do such a thing, in the final analysis, it is also to smoke his heart with the desire for profit, no wonder he is called Song Buren!" In the things of this world, there are gains and losses, and if you gain benefits, you will lose your name, lose your conscience, and whether you are worth it or not, I am afraid that only he knows it. ”
"I'm afraid he didn't think about it at all." Tang'er was obviously extremely disdainful of this person, and after she said that, she suddenly asked, "Stinky boy, what kind of mind are you so interested in him?" I don't believe you're just asking. ”
Li Qingshan didn't want to tell them about his plans for the time being, so he had to say haha: "Miss Tang'er, I'm also the second owner of our shop now, it's normal to learn about the situation of competitors, right?" Otherwise, one day he will come to the door, and I don't know who he is, and it will be a big mess. ”
Tang'er may believe this, but Chen Ruolan doesn't believe it at all, but she doesn't know what Li Qingshan plans to do, just listen to his tone, and definitely won't stand in the same camp as Song Buren, for her, this is enough.
She thought about it, and finally couldn't hold back, and reminded kindly: "What Li Gongzi said is that this person is said to have some power in the local area, and in my opinion, it is better to provoke him less. ”
"Yes, Miss Chen is right, I will be careful. By the way, Miss Chen, I came today, in fact, mainly to borrow people's hands. ”
Tang'er said "Huh", and Chen Ruolan was also curious: "Borrow someone's hand?" ”
"Can you give me some manpower in the shop in the afternoon, I have some things that I need help urgently, but for some reasons, the villagers in the same village are difficult to spare their hands to help me, I think about it, I can only ask you two sisters for help."
"Oh?" Chen Ruolan raised her eyes to look at him, "What is the matter?" ”
"It's just a trivial matter, it's inconvenient to say it now, but after the matter is over, I will definitely inform Miss Chen......"
Tang'er saw that he didn't seem to trust his two sisters, and suddenly became a little angry, "Hey, stinky boy, what's the matter, it's still so mysterious?" It's not uncommon for us to know...... I knew that this was the case, so I wouldn't tell you that a lot, huh! ”
Li Qingshan smiled apologetically and stuck out his tongue: "Miss Tang'er, please bear with me...... Anyway, I don't want to marry their daughter. ”
"You are, what do you have to do with me?" Tang'er curled her mouth and said angrily.
"Forget Tang'er, since Gongzi Li said that he will tell me later, we don't have to ask." Chen Ruolan said with a smile, "Li Gongzi, lunch time is coming, there are the most customers at this point, and all the people in the shop can't leave, so I can only wait for the meal and when there are fewer guests, I can only support some people for you......"
"Thank you so much."
Chen Ruolan said with a smile: "Young Master Li, you and I are in the same boat, and thank you is the opposite." By the way, Li Gongzi, in fact, Ruolan also has something to ask you for! ”
"Huh? What's up? ”
Chen Ruolan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I see that you seem to have a good relationship with that Huang Cunzheng, can you help me ask him if there are any familiar people in the post house, if it is convenient, take a time to help us introduce him." ”
Li Qingshan asked puzzledly: "Introduction?" ”
"Yes." Chen Ruolan nodded, "Young Master Li, you are not an outsider, and I dare to tell you boldly." To tell you the truth, I want to get to know some officials here, and in the future, I will have to deal with the officials when I run a shop, and if I can get acquainted as soon as possible, I will ...... I have more confidence in my heart. I don't need to go into detail about this matter, I believe Li Gongzi will understand. ”
Li Qingshan looked at Chen Ruolan, and suddenly felt a lot of kinship.
It's not that she laments her long-sleeved and good dancing, and as soon as she arrives here, she thinks about doing a good job in official and business relations first, but laments that the rules of human feelings in the world are surprisingly consistent throughout the ages.
The first thing a shrewd businessman wants to establish himself in a new place is to worship the mountain, use all the connections at his disposal, and establish good relations with the local officials.
He had seen a lot of this kind of thing in later generations, but he didn't expect to go around and go back to ancient times, but he still couldn't hide from it.
Seeing him pondering, Chen Ruolan said again: "Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the law has been as strict as a year after year, and officials everywhere have not dared to be in the company of businessmen like us. I have heard that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the affairs of officials and businessmen, and has used many methods to put an end to it, so I have asked for this ......."
In fact, Li Qingshan also knows some of these things.
Yang Jian is an accomplished emperor in history, and some things have always been ahead of the times, such as the creation of the three-province and six-ministry system and the implementation of the imperial examination system, and the small aspects, such as his pioneering invention of the earliest fishing law enforcement in Chinese history.
The so-called fishing law enforcement means that some people are first sent to bribe officials, and once the officials accept the money and goods, the police uncle will immediately descend from the sky and arrest the stunned corrupt officials with lightning speed. However, after using it a few more times, the officials also learned to be obedient, and later everyone turned it to the police station as soon as they saw someone sending money, which created a clean and clean style of politics and governance.
Li Qingshan's evaluation of this matter is: ruthless enough.
As for what Chen Ruolan said, it is difficult to make friends with officials, a large part of the reason is this, you are not allowed to see the officials in person, how do you make friends? Is it possible to add him QQ?
Seeing that Chen Ruolan attached great importance to this matter, Li Qingshan agreed to come down, but he only said that he would try his best to help ask, as for whether Huang Laoxie really knew some officials in the post, he didn't dare to pack the ticket. Huang Laoxie is just a village official, and he is much higher than him in terms of rank, not a heavyweight, but he is afraid that he will be hanging.
He knew that Chen Ruolan was running these businesses for nothing more than the business of the shop, and he was on the same front as himself, but it was a pity that he was white, not to mention knowing the officials in the post, even if he didn't know anyone, he wanted to help but couldn't use half of his strength.
It would be nice if I could mix up a half-job.
But thinking that in this era, there is no even the imperial examination, I can't help but feel a little helpless, if I want to be a civil servant, I can only cut eggs.
If you don't want to cut the balls, it's best to cast a good fetus, be born in a family of gate valves, be a little dignified, don't do something out of the ordinary, and when you reach the age, your relatives and friends will recommend you to become an official.
People who are reincarnated well are very simple to be officials. Ordinary poor children, if they want to enter the official career, they can only boil it slowly, or cut the eggs directly.
It's really sad.
But fortunately, these things can be considered in the long run, and there are more urgent things at the moment.
Fortunately, he is also the second owner, and the manpower problem he was worried about before has finally been solved because of this identity, at least the two things he wants to do in front of him are already a little eyebrow-raising.
This Song Buren is really a black-hearted businessman, this kind of person needs to be punished in any era, let alone bullying the villagers now.
Li Qingshan couldn't wait to find him now.
