The boatman's horn sounded melodiously, and the long penny supported the bottom of the river, pushing a dilapidated official boat to the north, stirring up white waves on the Grand Canal.

On both sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there are many villages and communities, smoke and pedestrians, and it is a peaceful and prosperous world.

Chen Dexing did not stay in Lin'an for too long, and on the fifteenth day of the first month, he said goodbye to the obedient Zhao Xiaololi, as well as Chen Huaiqing, Chen Defang, Chen Xu and others set off to the north. The reason why he set off so early was because there was still a big mess of things waiting to be taken care of in Yangzhou, the three-layer oar-seat warship to be built, tens of thousands of Thunderbolt soldiers to practice, and the liaison with Yidu to be personally presiding. The second really doesn't want to stay in Lin'an anymore, although there is a very delicious princess Lori here, but the relationship between himself and Zhao Lin'er, no matter how you look at it, someone is deliberately arranging it! This thought is also obvious, in addition to letting himself serve his life to protect the Great Song Dynasty, it is probably to give himself a gentle township, a hero mound, right?

When he fought with his life to kill Meng Ge, he could use a gentle, virtuous and delicious little princess to pardon his military power, and from then on he was encircled in Lin'an City. Maybe he will also give himself an errand to make weapons and gunpowder, so that he can continue to use his residual heat...... If it is now the Northern Song Dynasty, which is peaceful in the world, such a future is not bad. By the way, you can also do some business, engage in some education, and send someone to discover a new continent in the Americas, and probably be able to save the Chinese Tiandi two or three hundred years later. It's a pity that it is now the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is still the late period of the reign of Emperor Li of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the regrettable calendar is almost 1259 years, and there are still 20 years at most before the cliffs and mountains go to the sea!

Time is running out...... 20 years is a short moment in the long history. And the Southern Song Dynasty is another country that has entered a terminal illness and is seriously ill, in addition to being reborn from the fire, it can only sink the sky!

At this time, he sat in the official cabin, tapping on the tea cup, and looked at Guo Fu'er quietly.

Speaking of so many people around him, who are really one with him and can help himself, is probably this pretty girl. These days, she is so busy in Lin'an that she can't touch the ground, and she is not much better. In addition to going back to his parents' house, he has been running for his big business for days. Meet with a few well-spoken herb shops and the big shopkeepers of Zhuyu Shop in Lin'an City, and try to reach some trading intentions. The whole person is busy and plump, and this figure looks even more covetous - this business is a business, you have to invite guests to dinner, and if you eat more oil and water, it will naturally be more plump, but after all, it is still fat but not greasy. And the hard work of these days has not been in vain, and I have been promised by several big shopkeepers that ginseng, deer antler, fur, Dongzhu, white jade and so on can be purchased from the Chen family's herbal medicine.

Of course, it was only a verbal promise, and no contract was signed!

"It's not borrowing money, what kind of documents are you making? Those few are all first-class wealthy businessmen in Lin'an, how can they not believe their words? If that's the case, how can you mix in the business field? ”

For the absence of a contract, Guo Fuer is not worried at all. In fact, she has been in the business for so many years, and she has never made any business notes, only verbal agreements - Yangzhou Guo Ruren is the same as her word in the business field, and there has never been a time when words are not counted.

In this era, buying and selling depends on reputation, not a contract concluded in accordance with the law - if you don't keep your promises, you have a bird for a contract? Did you really go to the public to fight a lawsuit? A bunch of corrupt officials and corrupt officials haven't eaten up both of them?

Therefore, the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty in this era are much more reputable than the official families of the Great Song Dynasty!

"Okay, it's all up to my mother, if anyone dares to cheat my mother, tell me, I'll send someone to pick his skin!" Chen Dexing smiled faintly, but what he said was cruel.

Guo Fu'er waved her hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about business matters, no one will be a fool." Buyers and sellers all speak of a letter, and the business of cheating and abduction is not big and cannot be done for a long time. As for the officials of the Yamen, you are in charge of a group of tens of thousands of soldiers, who dares to provoke them? ”

It's really a bit of a strong woman! Chen Dexing grinned and looked at Guo Fu'er: "Mother, I don't care about business matters, you are in charge." That's right...... Is the cost enough? ”

said that it didn't matter, but he still couldn't rest assured. Although Guo Fuer follows the line of bureaucratic capitalism, it is capitalism in the end, and capital is still very important. As for the Chen family, of course, it is Chen Dexing's small family, not the Anfeng Chen family in charge of Chen Huaiqing, how many family backgrounds Chen Dexing, the head of the family, really doesn't know.

"Enough, enough, the family's original savings are more than 13,000 yuan of copper. In addition, Yang Po'er also saved 28,000 yuan in the account of Bencaotang...... Second brother, I think that mother-in-law seems to be interesting to you, so it's better to accept it as a concubine. ”

How is this still like Ximenqing's life? Coupled with Zhao Lin'er and Li Cuixian, it is enough to rely on soft rice in this life. It's just that Zhao Lin'er and Li Cuixian are two little ladies, and one of them is piercing, and they even provoked two of them at once......

Chen Dexing said with a smile: "Mother, since the family's capital is enough, then the child will hand over all the money to you." My contact with Yidu was carried out through Guò Cui Yue'er and Yang Po'er, and the two of them were the meticulous works of the Yidu faction in Yangzhou! and Yidu's business, my mother will go and talk to Mrs. Yang. ”

"What? They are from Yidu......" Guo Fu'er was taken aback, her face was full of surprise, and she looked at Chen Dexing fixedly. "Second brother, you tell you the truth, with your mother, how did you and the son of the Li family in Nayidu know each other, and what are you planning?"

Chen Dexing looked around, there was no one else in the official cabin, and the little maid Wang Rong'er was preparing lunch at this time. He smiled and said: "The child doesn't know any Li Gongzi, he only knows a Li Niangzi, who is the son-in-law of Yidu Li Pu, not an ordinary woman, but a heroine among women, a heroine, no less than Yang Miaozhen." She and I like each other, and we have been determined for life! ”

"Yidu Li Family......" Guo Fu'er's face changed suddenly, "Second brother, don't you want to invest in Yidu?" ”

Chen Dexing lowered his head, and only raised it after a while, and his tone was solemn: "Mother, the Yidu Xianggong has the great ambition to restore the Central Plains, and this battle between the two Huai can be won by a big victory, which is a good thing that the Yidu Li family and the privy minister have done together." ”

"Privy Minister...... Guo Fu'er was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again, "Yes, Li Pu should have lived in Chuzhou when he was young, and he may be familiar with the Privy Minister." ”

When Jia Rudao's father, Jia She, was the envoy of Huaidong, the director was in Chuzhou. And after Li Pu's father, Li Quan, led the crowd to vote for the Song Dynasty, he also placed his family in Chuzhou. The relationship between the Jia and Li families was very good at that time. It was not impossible for Jia Yidao, who was still a child at the time, to play with Li Pu.

Chen Dexing sighed and shook his head: "There may be an old relationship between the Yidu Xianggong and the Privy Council, but we Han people have believed in great unification since the Qin and Han dynasties, and we say that there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the people." This Li Pu ...... After all, it is the Han people, not the Tartars! ”

"Second brother, what do you mean...... Yidu Li Pu's ambition is difficult to achieve? Guo Fu'er was surprised, "Then you are still engaged to the daughter of the Li family for life?" ”

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Mrs. Li is the phoenix among people, no matter who her father is, I will marry her." As for the Li family's ambitions...... Even if it is difficult to stretch, the camel is always bigger than the horse! And the child didn't want to betray the Great Song Dynasty to go to the Li family, this good minister of the Great Song Dynasty's official family, the child still has to continue to do it! ”
