Chapter 70: Xu Guangqi and Zhou Ming

When Li Jiancheng came to Ling Xueyi with the cake, she was holding the modern philosophy and reading, Li Jiancheng felt speechless for his past decision for the first time, how stupid he was to give this book to this woman, Ling Xuecheng is so suspicious now, to some extent, it is also indispensable to be poisoned by this book.

Ling Xue suspected that this woman was really special to Li Jiancheng, and her special encounter and the rebellion against the existing time and space hidden in the woman's bones were all fatal poisons to Li Jiancheng. Every time he looked at her ancient eyes, Li Jiancheng seemed to be able to feel that there was a heart like a storm behind those eyes. It's a very amazing feeling. Perhaps only Li Jiancheng, who came through the crossing, can experience this feeling, and this feeling has always made Li Jiancheng's feelings confused, making him treat her as an equal position as much as possible.

His practice also made him feel less lonely, and he also retained that trace of his own clarity, rather than becoming a historical slave swallowed up by imperial power. People are pursuing ideals and self-happiness at the same time. Perhaps it is also a blessing for Li Jianchen to be silent in the sense of mission of conspiracy and history, and we are watching more of a person while we are watching the story.

Ling Xue looked at Li Jiancheng suspiciously, Li Jiancheng was complicated with her, and she was equally complicated with Li Jiancheng. She can't understand why Li Jiancheng treats her like this, a person's goodness to a person is divided into many different levels, the first level may be pure kindness and kindness, and then sublimate all the way to the highest level of love. If a person loves someone deeply, he can sacrifice his life for the other person, including father, mother, and love, which are also love. But Li Jiancheng's goodness is not like this, his goodness has reached a grand point to a certain extent, that is, the kind of goodness that transcends life and death. Looking back on what Li Jiancheng did for her, he gave up the throne for her at the first meeting and fought with the world's scholars, and this time because of her words and spent tens of millions of dollars to build roads! That's ten million taels of silver, not ten million stones, even ten million stones can be piled up into a small mountain. And this man is the emperor! What is the value of him doing this? Ling Xue didn't understand, she felt that she was very ordinary, she was just a woman in distress, Li Jiancheng's grandiose level of goodness, she couldn't accept it, it was completely a dreamlike false feeling, she couldn't accept this kind of dream that looked like a fake land.

So that time she cried when she showed her feelings to Li Jiancheng. is real; Or is it a dream? What is left seems to be just a dream. Human feelings are often like this, dreams and reality, not everyone can clearly distinguish between its truth and falsehood. But we have been pursuing someone who can understand our hearts.

Li Jiancheng took advantage of the situation and said: "Ah! How did you think about what you told you last time, if I could, I could teach you those magical subjects."

Ling Xue was suspicious and didn't answer, but at this time, Zhu Weijing, who ran over next to her, came and said, "What is the imperial brother, I also want to learn!" ”

Zhu Weijing jumped over, Li Jiancheng was helpless, it seems that today is really not the right time, he mentally sighed What a good child! When I see studying, I pounce up, brother, if I had half of your temperament, I wouldn't be the emperor today...... Uh, why does this feel weird?

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly that he couldn't ignore the little princess, he said: "You also have to learn this, it's very difficult, and it's very boring." ”

"Then you have to learn as long as it is taught by the imperial brother." As soon as she finished saying this, she pouted and said: "Last time, the imperial brother said that he wanted to teach us music, but the imperial brother has been busy and did not teach, and last time he also said that he would take us out of the city to play, but he still didn't go, the imperial brother is a big liar." After a while, the royal brother is going to get married, so he won't have time to play with us."

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, this girl is also very good at settling accounts. Anyway, do you really owe these little girls so many times? In other words, dare to say that the emperor is a big liar, this little girl's ass must be itchy. At this time, Li Jiancheng didn't notice that Ling Xue's expression changed slightly. He still reached out and pinched Zhu Weijing's little face and said, "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, I just want to ask the imperial brother to take you to be born and play!" Go for it today! actually said that the royal brother is a big liar, this is going to be a board, is it an itchy butt. ”

Zhu Weijing rubbed her sore face that was pinched by Li Jiancheng and stuck out her tongue and said, "I know that the imperial brother will not be able to, the imperial brother is the best." ”

Li Jiancheng was helpless, but it was time to let himself rest, he turned to Wang An and said, "Wang An, get ready, I will go out with the princesses in the afternoon." ”

Wang An nodded and said, "Yes, the old minister will go and prepare." ”

After Wang An finished speaking, Li Jiancheng said again: "By the way, call the Queen Mother and them too, let's go together."

Wang An nodded when he heard this, Li Jiancheng turned around and said to Ling Xue suspiciously: "Secretary Ling should also go with him!" ”

Ling Xue suspiciously opened her mouth and said in her usual light tone: "The emperor's family affairs, the people's daughters forget it." ”

Li Jiancheng didn't notice her change before, and said that she was polite, he smiled and said: "Secretary Ling is too outward, as my confidential secretary, you must participate in this event, and bring your brother with you, I think these children get along well!" It's more fun when there are more people. ”

Ling Xue paused slightly, she didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, she didn't dare to offend Li Jiancheng too much! Li Jiancheng smiled, thinking that he had changed back to the heart of a beauty, and he thought that maybe it would be good to go out of the blue!

Bidding farewell to Li Jiancheng, when he said that the palace was boiling because of the road to be built, the first people who were happy were not the beneficiaries and ordinary people of the road, but the working class. Because the Royal Construction Company is recruiting a large number of road repair workers, this makes these workers happy, because they all know that the salary for the emperor is high, and this time the salary is indeed the minimum standard posted by Li Jiancheng 30 Wen a day, how to say that he Li Jiancheng is also a state-owned enterprise! You can't lower the atmosphere.

Recruitment was personally supervised by Xu Guangqi, who is now not only the director of the construction bureau but also the president of the Royal Construction Company, and is now recruiting for the company's start-up.

Xu Guangqi was sitting at the table next to him while drinking tea and supervising the recruitment matters, at this time, a young man came from the side, rolled a red paper in front of Xu Guangqi's table and unfolded it: "Lord Xu, please see, this is the list of major merchants in Beijing and Tianjin who will be invited."

The person who spoke to him was Zhou Ming, who had been a pen salesman not long ago. Since the last time he went back, Li Jiancheng has admired this Zhou Ming very much after submitting the reason why the reader is reluctant to go to the newspaper office. He not only submitted useful suggestions, but also attached a solution to Li Jiancheng. And this guy is the one with the most sales of the entire fountain pen sales, and he is a very capable talent. Li Jiancheng specially asked someone to check his details, and knew that this guy's family background was also very good before, and his father used to be a river merchant and engaged in transportation. Later, it was broken by the opponent, and the family property was scattered. The reason why Zhou Ming joined the recruitment of Li Jiancheng Newspaper in the first place was also helpless, the family also had to eat, but this person's heart is not small, and he is determined to renew his family style.

In the face of such a talented person with a story and ambition, how can Li Jiancheng not make good use of his value? Therefore, Zhou Ming was assigned by Li Jiancheng to be Xu Guangqi's secretary, and the secretary appointed by Li Jiancheng had no official position. is completely an assistant, but his power as an assistant to the president is also very large. The reason why Li Jiancheng transferred Zhou Ming to be Xu Guangqi's assistant is that he has excellent ability and very strong business ability, so it is obviously a little reluctant to let Xu Guangqi face those businessmen alone, he is not here professionally! Zhou Minglai's assistant is not suitable, in addition, Li Jiancheng lamented that Xu Guangqi was too old to do many things by himself, and it was also out of humanitarian considerations to send him a clever young man.

Xu Guangqi saw that this secretary assistant sent by the emperor, his first image was still good, no matter what, even if the emperor really sent this person to spy on him, Xu Guangqi would not feel anything, the emperor did things like this.

Xu Guangqi said to Zhou Ming: "Zhou Mishu is really hard, Zhou Mishu has collected these clear orders so quickly, I must have put a lot of effort into it!" ”

Zhou Ming's current job is really emotional, although he is not an official, but to some extent, he is better than an official! He replied: "Your Excellency is polite, these are what villains should do, just collect some lists, Your Majesty is doing big things, and these merchants recruited are also rich and famous businessmen, these people are very famous, as long as you inquire casually, you will know the way, it is not too much of a hindrance." ”

Zhou Ming said it politely, Xu Guangqi was also very satisfied, not to mention anything else, this at least proves that this young man does not take credit, which is very rare! Xu Guangqi said: "Hehe, Zhou Mishu is polite, then you can talk to the official about these rich and famous businessmen!" ”

"It's an adult" Zhou Ming replied and continued: "The villain will first talk about these rich businessmen on the list, most of these people are rich businessmen in Beijing and Tianjin and some Jin merchants and salt merchants, and the business routes of these people also involve all walks of life, from the things sold by Xiao Fan in the street scene that adults usually see, to the places where money is exchanged for silver, there are their shadows!"

Xu Guangqi didn't know much about business before, this time he completely gave up his temperance to understand this industry, and this understanding was still startling him, if these people's industries were so widespread, wouldn't their influence break through the sky!

Xu Guangqi said again: "Those people have so many industries, so are they all rich?" ”

Zhou Ming smiled when he heard this: "They are not only very rich, they should be very rich, let's just say that this list is in the top ten, these people will not break their bones just by taking out a sum of money for this road repair." These people are all century-old brands, and their money is not accumulated by one person for a lifetime, but for generations. Some of the merchants have made a living since the previous dynasty, so they are very rich. ”

Xu Guangqi was shocked at this time, he knew that these people were rich, but he definitely didn't expect that they would be so rich, you must know that the emperor allocated tens of millions of taels to build roads this time, but these ten million taels of these people can actually come out, and they don't hurt their muscles and bones! You must know that it is the emperor who allocates the money, they are just merchants! What is called a rich and rival country, Xu Guangqi can now be regarded as having seen it.

Xu Guangqi was taken aback for a while and said, "That Zhou Mishu, in your opinion, how much money can we raise from these people this time!" ”

Xu Guangqi asked, but Zhou Ming replied with a flashing expression: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

Xu Guangqi listened to his words, but frowned and said, "What do you mean, do you still want to hear you tell lies and fool me." ”

After Xu Guangqi's words were finished, Zhou Ming listened to the straight color with a fixed expression and said, "Then the adults and villains are blunt." ”

Xu Guangqi saw that his expression changed, and he seemed to think that he had misunderstood him just now, so he said, "It's okay for you to say!" ”

Zhou Mingyi raised his hand and saluted, and then said with a straight face: "From the perspective of adults and villains, it is impossible to raise funds in the hands of these people, not only will we not get a penny, but they will also prevent them from raising funds from others." ”
