In the middle of summer in August, Guangzhou Xiguan Jiufu, a riverside mansion is noisy, from the main gate all the way to the inside, red silk fluttering, colorful lanterns hanging around. A big fat man in a wedding dress was guarding the door of the inner hall, returning the salute to the endless stream of happy guests.

The proprietors of Guangzhou Anhetang and Yuelitang, and the Anheguan of foreign banks, these names in the past are not as loud as the names of the head of the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce. Today is the joy of his marriage in the side room of the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth rooms, and businessmen and celebrities from all walks of life have come to congratulate him.

"An Huishou is really as stable as Mount Tai, if this is in Beijing, most of them will be deducted by the official lord with an disrespectful hat, it is the season when the dragon's body is unstable, and you still have a happy event."

A group of bigwigs in luxurious clothes approached, laughing and congratulating An Jinzhi.

"Hey...... The dragon's body has stabilized, it's really ...... Glad you did. Brother Han, Brother Yu, everyone, please inside. ”

An Jinzhi's words were insincere, and the "gratification" sounded quite like "pity".

Everyone tacitly exchanged their eyes and entered the private tea hall under the guidance of An Jinzhi.

"The first meeting of the security meeting is big enough, it is estimated that most of Guangzhou City, no, most of the leaders of Guangdong Province are here."

Hunan Jusheng was originally the shopkeeper of Yu, but now he is the master of Yu, casually ridiculing.

"What am I, when my son-in-law is done, you have to take a good look at what it is."

An Jinzhi hurriedly waved his hand modestly.

"Your son-in-law is the king of heaven, and he can't compare with him, but your father-in-law can still be stronger than him, such as the number of rooms in this side."

Han Dangjia in Longxingtang, Hunan Province is also joking.

"So what's the same? He wants to be his king, and I just want to be my man. ”

An Jinzhi patted his big belly and smiled innocently.

Everyone also laughed, passing their eyes while laughing, and finally sighed with An Jinzhi, "It's a pity."

It's a pity what, there is still gas on a certain side, and there is no chaos in the north...... Two months ago, it was the moment when the situation in Guangdong was so serious that it was difficult to breathe, the General Association of Cantonese Entrepreneurs was established, and Li Shi killed officials, suppressed the Yong'an bandits, and at the same time beat the officers and soldiers. This series of news, along with the truth of the earlier Guangzhou Rebellion and even the First Battle of Fogang, spread to Beijing from various channels.

The merchants were almost coerced by Li Xi to join the gang, and they were curling their necks, waiting for the court to swing their swords, so that they could calculate how they should speculate and profit between Li Xi and the court, but they never thought about it...... Kangxi fell ill, it is said that it is still very serious, and people who know the inside story revealed that he was so angry that he vomited blood at the court meeting, and he lay down for several days before he gasped, and he also recruited Western doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

The reaction of the others is unknown, but the businessman who does business in Guangdong knows very well that of course he was angry with Li.

"Zhao Zhitai and General Guan were recruited back to see Your Majesty, it seems that Li Tianwang has really given Jinshang a headache, and it is difficult to be ruthless."

Han Dangjia said leisurely that he had his own news channel.

"There are still us behind King Li, this is a good time to settle the rules, even if there are any changes in the future, this rule is iron, and the official master will not dare to stretch out his hand too hard."

In the past two months, the industrial and commercial rules of the Guangdong Merchants Association have been rolled out to Guangdong, just like cutting the rope that strangled the necks of their merchants, and the goods have walked together all the way in Guangdong, only need to deal with the business relations department of Qingtian Company.

"Yes, now that I am mining coal in Qujiang, no official master dares to make irresponsible remarks!"

A thin man covered in gold smiled, revealing a mouth full of gold teeth.

Everyone nodded subconsciously, although they apportioned the membership dues, but what they bought was the convenience of real gold and silver, and when it came to doing business, the reputation of Li Tianwang and Qingtian Company was much harder than that of the government.

"It's just that this kind of good talk probably won't last long......"

Someone sighed like that.

"It doesn't matter how long he wants, it's just a momentary benefit, and then ......"

Han Dangjia looked at the north and fanned his fan.

"As long as we don't get to that black-and-white situation, we can make the most of it. Just like the Qingpu cargo station earlier, didn't the warehouse also rely on us to protect it? Sometimes, you can't wait and see, the style still depends on everyone's push, this is Guangdong after all, not Jiangnan. ”

Han Dangjia's words caused everyone to nod slightly, if it was Jiangnan, the example of Kali was placed there, and the imperial court would not sit idly by and watch their businessmen fight for something, but this is Guangdong, where the emperor is far away, and there is a Li Shi.

"I heard that Li Tianwang is going to rectify the customs recently, and we all want to know what kind of regulations it is......

Then everyone talked about Guangdong Customs again, and An Jinzhi laughed and sloppily eyes.

At this moment, the noise outside changed, the drums were still there, but the human voices were gone, showing a sense of condensation, followed by the neat and dense sound of hurried footsteps, like the sound of the tide, and occasionally mixed with short and powerful orders, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly dispersed.

"My son-in-law is here......"

Ahn Jinzhi put on an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

A moment later, a large group of soldiers in blue clothes and silver helmets, loaded with guns and bright bayonets poured into the hall, and the first man wrapped in the Yao family's turban looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger, he retreated again, and then a young man wearing a half-high straight hat appeared surrounded by personal guards.

For a while, everyone bowed to this young man, and the greetings of "General Secretary Li", "Li Xiancheng", and "Master Li" were mixed, but they had the same title in their hearts: "Li Tianwang".

"Master An, congratulations, congratulations, I have to come here, and I have to ......"

Li Shi arched his hand towards An Jinzhi, and then pointed to the circle of guards around him, apologizing for disturbing the joy of others. Except for Qingpu and Yingci Yuan, he basically does not set foot in Guangzhou now, otherwise security is a big trouble, not only has the lesson of Baihualou earlier, but the current Guangzhou is still a place where enemies and friends are inseparable, and he himself is a powder keg.

"Why are we talking about this, hehe, come, I'll take you to meet the newcomer."

An Jinzhi didn't care at all, and hurriedly took him to meet the future "aunt".

"Ah, everyone says it's a pity, if you want to be drugged, you should also find some fierce ones."

Long Gaoshan took his guards to open the way on the left and right, and there was only Li Shi by his side, and An Jinzhi spoke directly.

Kangxi didn't die, he wasn't poisoned by Li Shi's medicine, this is the conjecture that many people are wandering around in their stomachs, and it is a pity for Guangdong businessmen who have joined the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. Kangxi is really going to die, how can the north be in chaos for a few years, and when he turns around and wants to clean them up, this side should be as solid as a rock.

"This ...... It's really wronged, where did I get such great powers? ”

Li Xian smiled bitterly, when the news came from the north, even Yan Sanniang was angry that he didn't trust him, and he didn't tell her about this kind of good thing. Everyone else also thought that Li Shi had carried out some secret plan and wanted to poison Kangxi, but he failed to make a contribution, so he and Duan Hong were speechless.

Is it really an ornament in the Manchu court? These generations of Manchu emperors have monopoly on power, and they can't pay more attention to the things around them, and it is not the period when the imperial power of the Han dynasty was weak in the past, how can it be difficult to be poisoned and die, but more because they themselves have eaten problems. 【1】

Xiao Xie Zuanying in the capital heard the gossip, and Kangxi's first edict after he woke up was to arrest and interrogate the relevant people who served Shaozhou Longqiong tea in the Internal Affairs Office, and execute them together with the eunuchs in the palace within a few days.

This made Li Xian laugh, what kind of Longqiong tea is just a small Zhengshan species transplanted from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, and it was promoted and planted by the "Qingtian Agriculture and Forestry Department" led by Luo Heng in Yingde, Lianzhou and other places and exported as a foreign trade product. The superintendent of Taipingguan felt that this tea was better than the original Zhengshan Xiaozhong, so he brought it back to Yanjing and spread it in the Internal Affairs Office, but somehow it got to Kangxi's desk.

As for Kangxi's report on the truth in Guangdong, after "knowing" the "wonderful fighting methods" of his two sons, why did he vent his anger on black tea, Li Xian could only sigh, once people are suspicious, it is difficult to believe anything, from this point of view, it is really the credit of him and Duan Hongshi.

Knowing that Kangxi almost had braids, Li Xi's first reaction was also regret, but then he woke up and realized that Kangxi couldn't die! You can't die at this time!

Indeed, at this time, Kangxi died, and those elder brothers would definitely have a fight, and there would definitely be chaos in the north, and it would be difficult to take care of Guangdong. But Li Xi was very sober, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was different from the Han dynasty. There are still a bunch of Manchu clansmen behind the emperor, and at this time it is still the early Qing Dynasty when the authority has not been dispersed, even if it is chaotic, it will not be as chaotic as the Han Dynasty and it is necessary to win the support of local forces. In this Kangxi era, although it has been weakened, the system of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers still has [2], coupled with the power of the clan, the Manchus should not be as divided as the Han Dynasty for the throne, at most half a year, the situation can be stabilized. 【3】

At this time, Kangxi died, who would come up? Yinxi? Yinzhen?

None of them are good, the number of paths between Yinzhen and the other candidates is not clear, and Yinzhen ...... The number of paths is too clear, but the timing is not right. And no matter which one comes to power, it is impossible to care about the face like Kangxi, and has his own set of power techniques for ruling the Han people in the world, anyway, they all start from scratch, and most of them are stunned and wave the army to kill.

After thinking clearly, Li Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, Kang Mazi couldn't die at this time, and he had to carry the great cause of rebellion for a few more years.

"It's still there today, but it's also a happy event for us."

Li Xi said.

"Then the matter of Guangdong ......"

An Jinzhi is most concerned about this, when Kangxi recovers, what kind of attitude will he have towards Guangdong and Li Xi?

Worried about this, An Jinzhi hurriedly married the side room again, although this has been a man for more than ten years, but in his opinion, it is better to do it late than not to do it well.

"People's anger is always limited, and if it is used in the things around them, it will be much calmer to look at the external affairs."

Li Xi smiled slightly.

At this time, they had already arrived at An Jinzhi's inner house, the rules of the side room for marrying were not big, and it was not the time for the official wedding ceremony, the two brides were dressed in ordinary dresses, sitting upright in the inner house, waiting to meet An Jinzhi's relatives.

Seeing two girls who were less than twenty years old, charming and charming, they were dignified and blessed to themselves, and they called them "Brother Li", Li Xianxin said that it was good that he didn't do anything with An Jiuxiu, otherwise he would have to call ...... "In the future, you can call Aunt Twenty-Seven and Aunt Twenty-Eight, and my plan is to reach ...... thirty within the year."

An Jinzhi still said this, which immediately made Li Xian's heart burn with anger, you dead fat man who sprinkled cow dung all over the sky!
