Li Qingyu was in a better mood, and his speech was naturally much more easy-going. Pang Chun saw Li Qingyu's true identity, there was not too much expression on his face, his speech and demeanor were as usual, but the sigh in his heart was inevitable.

A robe that is far stronger than himself, without knowing it, life and death can depend on each other regardless of others, such feelings, but after understanding the difference between each other, there is a mustard.

For the other four people, maybe because of the difference in each other's identities, one day and one place, there will be nothing, but for Pang Chun, a person who has a certain reputation in the Jindu circle, it is not a good thing.

Because Pang Chun has his own pride.

The four of them have ordinary military merits, but perhaps because Li Qingyu is the son of General Li of Yulinwei, he will directly enter Yulinwei as an officer, and he will be transferred to the local garrison at most.

The official rank may be about the same, or even half a cut higher than Pang Chun, but the status and future achievements are predictable - they will not be at the same level.

However, none of this is the main thing. The most important thing is that if there is something in the future, Li Qingyu will definitely help him, and when the time comes, the status of the two will no longer be equal, which Pang Chun does not want to see.

Who doesn't have pride?

******

The dinner ended uneventfully, and Li Qingyu was taken home by his brother-in-law to be summoned by General Li.

Outside the courtyard of the study, Li Qingyu saw his sister Li Qiqi, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

Miss Li is still young and beautiful, but the difference is that the compelling aura is gone, and it is replaced by the graceful atmosphere of the daughter of the gate valve family.

Handing a box to Li Qiqi, Li Qingyu shouted timidly: "Sister"

"I still know that when I came back, why didn't I die outside, and I didn't say hello when I left."

"Sister, aren't you afraid of worrying, besides, didn't I come back well?"

"You still quibble, it's late today, go see your father to rest early, come over early tomorrow morning, my sister wants to talk to you."

Li Qingyu pursed his lips and smiled, a little shy.

Miss Li patted her younger brother, who was strong and dark, and said softly: "Go in, my father has been waiting for you for a long time, it's nothing serious, don't be nervous." ”

"Well, I see, sister."

When Li Qingyu entered, Li Qiqi walked side by side with the man.

"My younger brother, Shuli, I still want you to bother more"

The name is quite ancient, and the man with the surname Gao Shuli smiled and said, "It's a matter of duty." ”

"Don't think I don't know, you paid for this gift, right? When the herring came back from the Western Front, how could he have the money to buy such an expensive thing. ”

Gao Shuli smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Li Qiqi also smiled slightly when he heard this, and he didn't say much.

His younger brother has always looked down on his husband, this has been known for a long time, and it is not a secret in the entire Li family, after all, with Li Qingyu's flamboyant and domineering character, he looks down on a person, and he will not hide it.

One is his husband, and the other is his younger brother who has loved him since he was a child, Li Qiqi has always wanted to improve the relationship between the two, but Li Qingyu didn't appreciate it at all, and Gao Shuli was powerless, which led to every meeting between this brother-in-law and his brother-in-law, which made Li Qiqi, who was caught in the middle, very embarrassed and embarrassed.

Li Qiqi, who is married to a wife, understands that his husband Wen Tao is strategic, he will not be a thing in the pool one day, and he can join the Li family. His younger brother is arrogant and domineering, and if he doesn't polish it well, no matter how good the jade is, it will be discarded.

Home and everything is prosperous, Li Qiqi understands this truth. In addition, Li Qiqi can't ignore the feelings of the Gao family and the comments outside.

After walking for a while, Li Qiqi said: "Last month, Uncle Zhong told me that you often go in and out of the warehouse? ”

Gao Shuli was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, there are several accounts that have some problems and need to be investigated." ”

Li Qiqi pondered for a moment and said, "Since my father handed over all the affairs of the family to you, my husband has worked hard, and my concubine is grateful. It's just that the concubine has never been in charge, but she has never heard of when the Li family's accounts have deviated, and since the husband has found out, he hopes to bother more. ”

Gao Shuli smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, don't worry." ”

"The capital has not been peaceful recently, Qingyu has just come back, there are some things, the husband still has to see these, don't let him cause any verbosity."

Gao Shuli came down again, sent Li Qiqi to the door, and then turned around and went to the study next door.

Li Qiqi entered the room, and the maid stepped forward to arrange the bed. Li Qiqi lay on the bed for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, General Li has never asked about family affairs, and the general's wife is a calm character, so after Li Qiqi recruited a husband, the management of this family completely fell on Li Qiqi's body. It's not that the Li family doesn't have other sons and nephews, but most of them have weak legs when they see Li Qiqi, how can they talk about housekeepers.

Li Qiqi couldn't sleep, and what he was worried about was not just the career arrangements of his younger brother Li Qingyu after he returned home, but more about some rumors that have been circulating among the housekeepers recently.

In the past two months, my uncle has been going to the warehouse a little often.

Although that doesn't mean anything.

Since the Li family's finances have been handed over to Gao Shuli, and Gao Shuli himself is not a corpse vegetarian, the facts of the past two years have also proved that Gao Shuli is a male talent, but such an unwarranted guess is unacceptable.

So Li Qiqi mentioned Gao Shuli two sentences, hoping to understand something, but Gao Shuli didn't want to say more because he didn't want to say more, Li Qiqi didn't ask much, and he still minded a little in his heart.

Moreover, Li Qi received a letter seven years ago, sent from Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, which was a handwritten letter from her best friend Lin Wuer. The letter said that she was kidnapped by horse bandits, which made Li Qiqi frightened for several days - although the matter has passed, Lin Wu'er has also been rescued, and there is no damage, and the relationship between their husband and wife is still peaceful, but Li Qiqi still thinks about it for a long time.

And the main reason is that Lin Wuer mentioned one of her conjectures.

Xie Shence is still alive, and the person who saved her at that time is likely to be Xie Shence.

Li Qiqi sweated for this best friend.

Xie Shence is dead, this is known to everyone, how can it be him? Besides, you are a married woman, and you are pregnant and about to give birth, how can there be another man in your heart at this time? And that ungrateful bastard?

It's a good thing that this kind of bastard is dead

Because of this, Miss Li didn't sleep well all night.

Li Qiqi didn't sleep here, and Gao Shuli in the study next door naturally didn't sleep.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Gao Shuli is just a son-in-law, but the real head of the Li family, such as General Li and some uncles of the Li family, are extremely recognized by Gao Shuli. At this time, this man, who has no low actual status in the Li family, but is extremely low-key, is looking at a stack of information.

The business report of the Li family's industry in the past two years, the records of the Li family's movement with the members of the DPRK and the central government, the schooling of the Li family's sons and nephews, and even some information about General Li's private meeting with Jindu and local officials It was not until the early hours of the morning that Gao Shuli finished reading the stack in front of him.

"The rebellion of Huhuai Yangdao really stimulated the handicraft, so that the price of grain rose by half a percent, this expectation is correct again, because the preparation was early, and I earned tens of thousands of taels more in these two months."

"The price of grain in Shandong Province has been continuously raised by us, and it has reached the limit, but we can consider reducing the price slightly, and it will be stable for at least two months."

"That Xiucai is still capable, worthy of being the subordinate of Lord Governor, a business genius of Huaiyang Dao"

Gao Shuli was talking to himself, saying some news that could be made top secret in the industry, while still writing and drawing on the map of clothes.

If ordinary people hear it, maybe they will hear it, but if some people at the top of the business community in Jindu hear it, they should be slandered and even envious.

Because what Gao Shuli said was all realized by them. And the Xiucai mentioned by Gao Shuli, named Zhang Xiang, is said to have disappeared when Jin tried to contact the Xie family, and he didn't want to go to the Li family.

Gao Shuli wrote and painted, pushed the overall plan of Zhenglong for 12 years, and after confirming that it was correct, he drew a few arrows, and the arrows pointed to a certain place on the boundary of Shandong Province and Shanxi Province.

Somewhere in the Taihang Mountains.

Huaxia City.

"Thank you, what I can do has been done, it depends on how much you can turn up."

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, the willows at the foot of the mountain have just hammered down the green silk, and the mountain is still quite cold.

The letter was naturally written by Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan, which mentioned Xiao Jasmine, as well as the price of Tiemenguan, the general direction of public opinion, and some of Jiang Qi's recent arrangements. Because of Wang Qingyan's relationship, many of the inside information and specific figures of material transfer are also presented in this letter.

Xie Shence read it a few times, firmly remembered some of the data on the letter, and then threw it into the fire and watched him burn to ashes with his own eyes. After that, he strode back.

In the study, Xie Shence found King Li Yan and Xiao Wang, and on a map marked with a large number of symbols, he told the two of them the information he had recently obtained and had been sorted out.

"The assistance we can get at present is actually very limited, and the master and Mr. Wang understand that our greatest suffering is food, and the problems that plagued the bandits in Taihang Mountain back then still plague us. Although we have several ways to get supplies, they are still not safe enough."

King Li Yan thought so, and expressed several of his opinions after Xie Shence finished speaking, but because he was not professional, he was quickly denied by Xiao Wang.

"I think we can make a fuss about this."

"Oh? What is your opinion? ”

"Oh, I can't talk about it, I'm just stupid"

"Listen up."

After a while, Xie Shence frowned, obviously caught in the knot of thinking, while King Li Yan sighed and shook his head, obviously not agreeing much.

Two months after this day, if someone is careful, they can find that in fact, the grain center of gravity of the entire Great Jin Dynasty has been in the north and south of the Yellow River at the junction of Hebei Province and Shandong Province.

Of course, the grain here refers to the amount of grain that can be circulated, not the total amount.

In March, the Song army of Hubei Province was defeated, the Jin and Song Dynasty of Huaiyang Province entered a period of confrontation, and the peasant army of Jiangnan County also began to rest, so looking at the world, there were only two corners in the northwest and northeast, and the war was still burning.
