The two sentences that Li You shouted out had deep meanings, and the noble children who came out with Gou Fei changed color when they heard the words, and they were all so shocked by Li You's momentum that they all hesitated.

Lord Li, who had insight into the opportunity, saw through their weaknesses from the moment he judged that they were all noble officials.

The descendants of noble families are only waiting to inherit the title, and generally will not come out to be an official. In other words, nine out of ten of the sons and daughters of nobles who hold official positions have no right to inherit, and to put it more seriously, they have nothing but official positions that they have obtained by grace or prison.

It is not easy to seek an official position, they are not the right officials of the hard state, and they are not qualified to be allowed to fight with civilian officials, and their confidence is not as good as Li You.

If you lose your official position because of beating one of the four Qing Dynasty imperial envoys, it will be a big loss, and it is possible to be beaten to death when you return home... This thought came to everyone's minds.

On the other hand, the bright sharp knife was in Li You's hand, which also made everyone who was well-respected dare not try it easily, knowing that the knife and gun had no eyes, and a few impulsive ones were also frightened. Then Li You has a golden book and iron coupon to protect himself, as long as he does not rebel, he can indeed kill people without paying for his life, and no matter how generous he is, he can even be exempted from murder.

As the saying goes, the horizontal is afraid of the flute, and the one is afraid of the dead.

The civil officials of this dynasty are horizontal, but the honorable can also give the civil officials a headache. Now Li You has obviously become the one who doesn't want to die, and let one vote is enough to dominate the capital on most occasions, standing here, watching his companion being seriously injured first, but he is in a dilemma.

If he was a scoundrel in the market and encountered unfavorable limelight, he would have left his companions and scattered in all directions. But Xungui has his own noble face, and everyone looks at each other, so he can't do such a skinless and shameless thing. Annoyed stood in front of Li You, the atmosphere was still tense.

Li You held his head high and was fearless. Facing the street with the sons and daughters of the nobles, on the surface it seems to be lonely and dangerous. In fact, he is physically and mentally comfortable at the moment, and after being suppressed for a long time, it is very pleasant to be able to exert his fists and feet.

He admits that it is very irrational to abuse Gou Commander, although he is indeed very intidy, but he just wants to vent, and he will not regret it if he has done it.

When was the last time you did it yourself? It seems that I can't remember it clearly, was it Jinghe's sixth year that kicked the Dragon King and beat the temple Zhu?

With a sharp knife in his hand, Master Li even had the urge to let the man on the opposite side let the horse come over and fight. But reason told him. If this happens. He doesn't please either... After all, he is Li Tanhua and Li Caizi, not a hundred people, let alone ten thousand enemies, the bloody battle on the long street is the story of the martial arts plane.

The other house slaves were restrained by their masters and did not dare to act rashly. Only Gou Fei's two entourages were heartfelt, broke the tranquility, and rushed forward to save people. But Li You also brought domestic slaves here, and the end of Gou's command and entourage could only be to fall to the ground and be seriously injured.

Among the people present, the most crooked mood was Xu Shizi. Here he is the host of the family, and he is the highest status of the honorable relative, so he must come forward to resolve it. But looking at Li You's virtue over there, how to speak?

Xu Shizi couldn't help but scold. Once a frolic becomes like this, what are you fierce as a petty official who has lost power? I could only step forward first and arch my hand: "Lord Li, don't hurt the harmony..."

This is insincere, obviously still holding a superior shelf, who hurt the harmony first? Li You sneered, "That's not what the prince said. This official is also overwhelmed by alcohol, please bear with the prince! But he returned Xu Shizi's prevarication just now.

Xu Shizi took a deep breath. "What does Master Li want?"

Do the wicked sue first, and who wants to do what? Li You ignored Shizi, turned his head sideways and said to Han Zong: "I went to look for the patrol battalion sergeant who was on night patrol nearby, and I found it and brought it here!" Han Zong was ordered to go, Li You looked around, and idlers began to gather in the distance. This place is a downtown area with many liquor shops, and there are many night walkers. When something happened, there were passers-by and servants from nearby restaurants watching, and there were also knowledgeable people pointing and pointing, as if they recognized the characters.

Li You quietly wrapped his big sleeves, hid the sharp knife, and continued to stalemate. At this time, he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, the other party was overwhelmed by the crowd, and he was full of righteous indignation, and he would suffer a loss if he was not careful. It is better to hold the stalemate first, and the risk of breaking this deadlock is too great.

"Master Li is still good at understanding current affairs, and the capital is not Yangzhou Mansion." Xu Shizi spoke for the third time, already implying a threat.

Li You's attention was all around him, and when he heard this sentence in his ears, he replied casually: "The capital is not Nanjing. ”

At this time, seeing Han Zong leading a team of more than twenty sergeants hurriedly coming over to this side, until he reached his side, Li You said to the captain: "This official inspects the right envoy of the school, please send this official back to the house." ”

Emperor Xuanzong once ordered that when the night patrol sergeant met the minister, he should escort the minister back, so Li You's request was normal. With these sergeants to protect themselves, they don't have to worry about being beaten by those noble sons when they get out.

Xu Shizi was swept away by Li You's words again and again, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "I am the prince of Wei, and I also ask you to send me home." ”

The captain looked at Li You and then at Xu Shizi, a little embarrassed.

Li You laughed lightly a few times, and then said, "Please send this official to the mansion of Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War." ”

The military department is still in the book?! The secretary of the military department who is responsible for the promotion and transfer of military positions? The captain's eyes lit up, and he said to Li Youzuo: "This official, please!" ”

Xu Shizi's face darkened.

Li You didn't rush to get on the sedan chair, with the protection of the officers and soldiers, he became bold, and the deep-rooted prestige brush nature resurfaced.

Facing the cool breeze of the autumn moon, he slowly walked towards the crowd in the distance. Not far away, he arched his hand towards the crowd, with a little excitement and a little thanks, and said extremely earnestly:

"This official is the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, Li Youye! Today, the second son of Wu Anbo is lawless on the street, and the official punishes him with force, and he is in danger of being beaten by the nobles in retaliation, and it is dangerous and dangerous! Thanks to the support of all the righteous men from afar, so that the wicked are afraid and dare not act rashly, thank you here. Why don't you know each other, you can't remember them one by one! ”

This is said extremely beautifully, and the idlers who were watching the excitement turned into righteous and courageous righteous people. Although it doesn't have any practical significance, it's not a bad thing, and there is capital to brag about it. Since he has become a righteous man, this official who praised them as a righteous man is naturally a good official.

Someone in the crowd lost his voice again: "It turned out to be Li Tanhua!" A talented man has such courage! There are people on the right path! ”

Li You snickered. It's a good idea to be recognized, and it's very good for spreading.

Xungui's children knew Li You's words. Qi Qi scolded in the distance. After such a specious distortion by Li You, it is conceivable what the rumors will become!

On one side is the powerful and weak celebrity imperial history, and on the other side is the wealthy and powerful nobles, whether it is right or wrong, which side do the people tend to? Don't even think about it!

What's wrong on the street? Naturally, the people will take the initiative to make up countless kinds of illegal buckles on Gou Fei's head! Anyway, Xun Qi and his family members have been rampant and domineering in Beijing, and these jokes are all familiar.

The civil servant is indeed one of the most shameless human beings in the world! The best at opening your eyes and telling nonsense, and as a result, others and yourself believe it!

Li You bowed his hand to the crowd again with deep affection, and then got into the sedan chair and retreated.

When I returned home, it was already three watches. Tonight, it was my turn to stay in the third room, so I went to Aunt Guan's room.

Guan embroidered rust and wore a lotus-colored close-fitting jacket. Apparently ready to sleep. Seeing that her husband was full of wine when he entered the house, he went to brew and serve the wine and tea again. ..., while the old man was gulping tea, Aunt Guan complained: "My husband is running around for the official position all day long, but he doesn't care about the affairs of this family at all? Only in and out, but not in, the cost is also large. Although it can hold on for a while, but there will be a time when the mountain is empty, doesn't the husband care? ”

Master Li has to admit that compared with other middle-level officials with ordinary family backgrounds, he marries five or six wives and concubines, twenty or thirty domestic slaves inside and out, and carries a sedan chair in shifts with four people when he goes out, which is a little extravagant.

It is recognized that the Beijing officials are poorer than the local officials. To be a Beijing official is to gild, and to be a magistrate is to earn gold. is not a middle- and low-level Beijing official from a wealthy family, who can afford to raise five or six concubines and bring dozens of domestic slaves? There are many people who can't even afford to hire a sedan chair, because according to the double sedan chair, the sedan chair driver needs at least two shifts of four people, and it is better to raise a carriage and mule cart to save money.

However, Li You also has a bit of a hard support. He has not been an official for long. The actual time of tenure in the local government is only a year and a half, and I haven't saved too much savings, and if it weren't for the help of millions of dollars, I would have gone bankrupt long ago. Now in the capital for a while, there is really no way to make money.

However, thinking of the golden million, Li You remembered that there was also a four-room Cheng Laozhang in the Beijing Division, who seemed to be a wealthy businessman, and he didn't know what he was doing under the eldest princess. smiled and said: "What are you worried about, you can be cheeky to go to Father Cheng to help him, the Cheng family is also a wealthy businessman, and the confiscated family property should be returned." ”

Guan Xiurust snorted: "Is this unambitious idea a long-term solution? The Cheng family is just like that, do you think it's all the Jin family, and the Cheng family also has a son. It's better for the concubine to go to Qipan Street to open a shop, but this money has to come out of the family, and it is a little tight, so she has to report to her husband first. ”

Li You suddenly remembered the inspiration at the banquet just now, and waved his big hand and said: "You must have a big vision when doing business, what is the meaning of making a few hard-earned money in what kind of satin cloth." ”

Guan Xiurust was skeptical about this, "What do you have in mind?" ”

"Making money with money is the upper class!" Li You said proudly.

"Is the husband talking about the money shop, or the silver shop, or the account office?" Aunt Guan asked very professionally.

Li You was confused, "What's the difference between a money shop and a silver shop?" ”

"What is common in our Jiangnan is a money shop, which deals in the exchange of copper coins and silver. There are mostly silver shops here in Jingshi, and the main business is silver storage. At the same time, the silver shop issues silver tickets according to the deposit silver, which can be used as cash in the capital. This silver ticket is more popular than in the south, probably because the northern ships have few rivers and rivers, and it is inconvenient to transport silver. ”

By the time Li You figured out the difference between the two, Guan Xiurust had lost confidence. My husband can't even tell the difference between this, and he still talks about making money with money, which is really a good eye.

Li You took advantage of the wine and slammed the case and said: "The idea of being a husband is a higher level than the silver shop!" It's called a ticket number, and it's also called a silver number! No one knew about this business at the time! It will be another hundred years before anyone wants to find out! ”

Guan Xiuyu took the initiative to untie Li You's wide clothes and persuaded: "Husband, don't think about business, the concubine shouldn't say these things that annoy your husband." The night is deep, and rest in peace. She admits that her husband is a good official hand, but in terms of business matters, how can her husband have more vision than others for a hundred years?

Master Li was very annoyed by the concubine's contempt, "You listen to the husband!" Jingshi is a rich and noble place, and Jiangnan is also a prosperous township, but the distance between the two places is far away, whether it is a merchant or an official government, it is extremely inconvenient for silver to come and go, but the amount of silver and money flow between the two places is very large. ”

"Suppose we set up two silver numbers, one in Beijing and one in Jiangnan. Those who want to carry heavy money from Beijing to Jiangnan only need to deposit the silver in the silver number of Jingshi, and then take out the silver ticket, and then travel lightly, and when they arrive in Jiangnan, this person can exchange cash for cash in the semicolon with the silver ticket. This silver number earned its expenses without leaving home, and finally the merchant had two pennies. "...,"The silver number is not for the sake of watching, and it can also be lent out to eat the spread." The deposit and exchange and lending spreads between the two places are parallel, so it is called making money with money! ”

"Of course, there is more than one semicolon, as long as this business is done, the benefits of money in all parts of the world are in our hands!"

"What's more, the government also has the trouble of transporting tax and silver between various places, as long as it can cooperate with the government, it will only exchange silver for the government every year, and it will be a large amount of money to take advantage of it!"

Guan Xiuyu didn't expect her husband to have such a grand fantasy in her chest, she admitted that it was a promising idea, but right now... Let's go to bed first. There are only a few thousand taels at home, and what kind of ticket number and silver number to paint cakes to satisfy hunger are beyond my means.

The sky was bright, and when he woke up and finished washing, Li You felt refreshed. Seeing Aunt Guan who was dressing up in the mirror, she remembered her words last night, and couldn't help asking, "How feasible do you think what I said last night is?" ”

Guan Xiurust sighed, "Lord Husband, if you have the intention of supporting your family, it is better to think of going to the official position of Admiral of the Five Cities to come back." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I inquired about the storefronts in Beijing, especially the good places, many of which were encroached upon by the powerful. If you become the governor of the five cities, and you are directly in charge of the three hundred squares and six hundred shops of the five cities, you can always think of ways to snatch some properties and come back, and no matter how bad it is, you can also instruct the shops everywhere how to buy and sell. Now my lord, you have an empty imperial history, and you can't control those, there is no benefit, it is not easy to open a store that makes a lot of money, and what kind of silver account do you whimsically? ”

Master Li was slightly surprised, Aunt Guan's thinking has improved, and she finally followed the pace of the Li family.

In the past, what she looked down on the most was to treat power as a business, always showing contempt, and most liked to compare her gray income with legitimate income. Today, I took the initiative to have the idea of snatching and plundering, is this realized by reality?

Then his thoughts turned to his own errand, and he couldn't help but sigh. Looking at Jiang Zongxian's face yesterday, he had no errands for the time being, so he could only be a clear and idle official, but he still had to go today. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
