Chapter 253: The Biggest Loser

Li Futang and his wife looked at their daughter who was dressed in Qiluo clothes, and cried very much, and then looked at their grandson's family, which was tantamount to princely wealth, and they were even more excited.

Li Han has great respect for his grandfather, after all, his grandfather has made great efforts to purchase reserve grain this time, so when he received the banquet, Li Han personally cooked a few appetizers for his grandfather, and the old man couldn't close his mouth, and when the juniors took turns to give him a toast from the old man Ji Fan, the two old ladies were drunk.

After Li Futang became familiar with the life of Chang'an City, the old man was very angry, he felt that everyone coaxed his grandson to be the god of small wealth.

The old man endured his anger and inspected all the industries of the Li family in a carriage for several days, including Lianbashang Manor and Wine Workshop, Lime Kiln, Cement Kiln, Brick and Tile Kiln in Bailuyuan, as well as Paper Factory, Fireworks Factory, Wood Factory, Copper and Iron Workshop, etc., and even Xinfeng, which Dou Ying lost to his grandson's family, went to see it.

After coming back, he had a long talk with his grandson, pointed out the fatal mistake in management, and Li Han, who was scolded excitedly, was sweating profusely, and finally said in a panic that he would not care about the business in the future, if his grandfather stayed, the big housekeeper of all the family enterprises would be his grandfather, so that he could hold a shareholders' meeting at any time if he had opinions, discuss with the big bosses of his own, and run away after speaking.

Li Futang feels that running an industry for his grandson is equivalent to running it for his own family, after all, his grandson's surname is Li. This Li is the Li of Li Futang's family, not the surname of Ji Hao's family, the sick son who abducted his daughter.

In the old man's heart, all the role of that person is to leave such a good seed as Li Han, that's all.

Moreover, Mr. Li felt that the sick seedling left two seeds. Now that the Ji family is enjoying the support of their grandson, it is enough to be worthy of the Ji family, and it is enough for that little baby Ji Lin to support their Ji family when he grows up.

Li Han, the grandson, completely belongs to the Li clan and has nothing to do with the Ji family.

Based on this strange and incomprehensible concept of Li Han, the old man Li Futang felt that he was not a relative who came to the Li family as a guest, but a legitimate old man, since the Li family in the capital is also the Li family, so what does it matter if he can't go back to Hanoi?

Although the family business in Hanoi is large, it is just farming after all. It is enough to leave the third son Li Shi in charge, but he can't watch his grandson's big foundation being ruined by this loser at will.

Obviously, Bashang opened a winery, and there was a restaurant in the city, but he went to buy the pigs of the farmers himself, and he didn't know that he would use sake lees to open a pig farm.

There is also the dregs of the vermicelli factory, which is coarse grain when it is dried, and one by one uses copper money to buy grain and wild vegetables. Why don't you know how to collect this thing?

The market in the city is the most infuriating, and the merchants who are obviously in a hurry to enter are lined up until next year, but this loser claims that he can't take care of it and stops building shops.

What is more important than making money? And also. If the shop collects rent, the initiative has always been in the hands of his family, and the rent can rise in the future, so why sell it to other businessmen?

Anyway, the whole market lot was bought by home. Why is it cheaper for outsiders? At a glance, you can understand that there is a lot of room for appreciation in this place in the future, and you can't let the fertilizer water flow into the fields of outsiders.

However, his grandson is now a big official, and since he has become an official master. It is indeed too difficult for him to manage the family's business again, so let him concentrate on being an official, and the old lady will not preside over the affairs of the family.

Mr. Li, who took over as the general manager, held a general meeting of shareholders resolutely, and quickly reached a consensus with Fang Yue, the chief financial officer, to make a new plan for the operation of the family business.

Ji Fan has no opinion on Li Futang's approach at all, as Li Han's status gets higher and higher, the old man feels more and more that he used family affection to force his grandson to provoke the burden of the Ji family.

Although this family is called the Li family, Li Han is Hao'er's blood and bones, which cannot be changed, not to mention that Ji Lin will grow up soon, Han'er is a personality who values his family the most, how can he treat his younger brother badly in the future?

What if the old man of the Li family comes to be the chief housekeeper, when he arrives, isn't this family the grandson of the Ji family in charge? What's more, the granddaughter has already married to God, and the prosperity of the two families is not much different from the prosperity of the family.

Li Wan is now the happiest woman, newly married to her husband, and a little bit of training to obey her words, the daughters-in-law can share the housework she needs to manage, and now the old father has become the big housekeeper of the family, she can enjoy life with complete confidence and boldness, every day with the daughters-in-law to dress up the flowers, actions are carried with a group of maids, majestic and terrible.

Recently, Li Wan became obsessed with an activity, that is, she found that the wealthy ladies in Chang'an City kept sending her invitations, which was the most ecstatic change for her, so she was full of pearls and emeralds when she had nothing to do, and took the snacks and greenhouse vegetables of the Li family to various homes to be a guest, and accepted all kinds of praise from other noble ladies for her.

In fact, Li Wan herself also understands that people are promoting her in order to get a little benefit from her son, for example, new grain varieties, for example, the shops in the East Market, etc., with a long-term vision, they have already set their eyes on the business opportunities after the development of waterways, and they all want to stuff money into the Li family's shares.

At this point, Li Wan exerted her Li family's super keen reaction ability, for all kinds of requests, those who can agree will also strive for the greatest interests and then agree, and if you can't agree, let you talk about the flowers, just giggle and heck, and play the role of a shrewd and capable lord and lady very decently.

In this peaceful and joyful atmosphere, on the day of Li Tianci's wedding, Li Han asked the young couple for their opinions, and also gave them a new house at the foot of Dongshi Mountain.

Sister who takes care of the family, this must be supported, Li Han agreed.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the family once again held a lively happy event, and Ji Shu, who had worked hard, became a bride again with tears, but this time the tears were tears of happiness, and the wedding dress was also a wedding dress sewn by herself, so there was no need to be heartbroken for a set of clothes.

Li Tianci has a kind personality, delicate mind, and is very sympathetic to his wife's experience, so he cherishes and loves Ji Shu doubly, and the wedding night eliminated all the memories of Ji Shu's nightmarish short marriage history, and completely incarnated as a happy little bride.

It is especially worth mentioning that early the next morning, after Ji Shu gave tea to her in-laws, she shyly stuffed her mother-in-law with a white silk stained with a little red, while Li Tianci looked proud, and her happy yellow Lamei mouth was laughing to the tooth wishbone.

Happy days are always very fast, the New Year is coming, as soon as the firecrackers of the Li family are listed, they have been frantically sought after by the lively Chang'an people, and they are not expensive anyway.

Regarding the pricing, Li Han and his grandfather had a good quarrel, Li Han felt that this thing was just a novelty, and it should be a little more expensive at the beginning, but it was seriously despised by the old man.

The old man thinks that the more everyday things, the more they can't make huge profits, if they give the people an impression that this thing can't afford at the beginning, they won't buy it even if the price drops in the future, it is better to directly position it as a civilian commodity and win by sales.

Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy, five coppers and a string of firecrackers, the price of one copper and one two kicks can be accepted by anyone, if the fireworks are expensive, they won't buy them, anyway, the Li family said that they would set off them for free, and they would just go to see them when the time came.

Shangyuan Festival, the emperor has always let the people have fun all night for three days, this year because of Li Han's fireworks party, therefore, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even the city gate is not closed.

Since the afternoon, Chang'an City began to boil, of course, the wealthy lords and nobles are luxury carriages, ordinary people's carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts have also been dispatched, with female dependents and children all the way out of the city to rush to Bashang.

Throughout the afternoon, the Li family stopped all business, mobilized all the personnel, and all went out to hang lanterns on the willow trees along the Bahe River, which had been hanging for several miles.

A candle is placed inside the colored paper lanterns, and a lard-coated and flammable powder is tied to the candle head, which connects a large row of lanterns for artistic lighting.

In winter, the water of the Bahe River is very gentle and gentle, without the violence of summer, because this winter is not too cold, and there is no freezing, it flows slowly, and it looks very moving.

The Li family's households are very clever, and when they saw this opportunity, someone made up a lot of bamboo rafts and parked them by the river, if anyone wanted to swim on the water, they only needed ten big money.

Those who arrived early were in a hurry, and there were many young people who were giggling and laughing on the bamboo raft, and the river was also lively when they landed.

The hawkers are also very clever, and the river is full of rice wine, osmanthus cakes, fried beans, and cooked foods such as cured mutton, as well as all kinds of gadgets such as rattles, everyone is smiling, and it looks comfortable.

Wei Tu put away the spirit of the big housekeeper today, and took the initiative to ask to return to his old business, and came to the roadside to sell the Li family's specialty pig's head meat, the hot cooked meat was filled with several large bamboo baskets, and a pottery urn next to it, which was full of thin flour cakes, and the bamboo basket on the other side was white and white, and there was a big pot helmet bun.

Soon, Wei Tu's stall was surrounded by water, and the bread and meat rolls, pot helmets and buns were sold quickly, Wei Tu weighed the meat, and the two families around him rolled the meat and sandwiched the meat, and there were those who couldn't wait to call in the back to hurry up.
