Volume 3 A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains 069 The Tranquility Before the Storm
Qiu Yizhi said to He Jiugong and Zhao Fuyi: "Jiugong and uncle, I haven't seen you for many days, and your body is still tough. This chaos frightened the two of them. ”
The two businessmen immediately replied: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
But I heard Qiu Yizhi say to Zhao Fuyi again: "I haven't seen you for half a year, and my uncle has a lot of silver saved here, right?" I wonder how many? ”
Zhao Fuyi was stationed in Jinling City, acting as a broker between Qiu Yizhi's big merchant Zhou Cijing and the sea merchant Li Zhi, and collecting a monthly tap of 10,000 taels of silver on both sides on his behalf. Zhao Fuyi has been grinding several times, and he is already very solid in his heart, knowing that this money belongs to Qiu Yizhi, and his nephew is the foundation of his own life, and he doesn't even dare to touch this money.
So he replied confidently: "Business has not been good in the past few months, but thanks to the care of Zhou Daguan, the income of 5,000 taels per month has not been reduced, and it has not been delayed for a day, and there are more than 20,000 taels of silver saved today." It's the old shipowner Li Zhi...... Even the comprador in Jinling City lost contact with the owner, and he didn't receive the money from his side......"
This is also human nature, Qiu Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Got it." He Jiugong said to He Jiugong, who was standing with a smile on the side, "Jiugong, the Guangyang Chamber of Commerce in charge of the Zhou Daguan, the silver ticket is exchanged all over the world, can I exchange some silver tickets with cash, and I want to do it all in a scattered way, so that I can reward my soldiers?" ”
Now is the time to engage troops, even if it is a silver ticket issued by the Guangyang Chamber of Commerce, the effectiveness is far less than that of real money. In recent months, the amount of money exchanged for cash in Jinling City has become larger and larger, and the Guangyang Chamber of Commerce's silver deposit in Jinling has been somewhat stretched. At this time, Qiu Yizhi had to exchange it for silver with white flowers, which was enough to make He Jiugong overjoyed.
Therefore, his face was full of wrinkles and laughter, and he said, "Good to say, easy to say." Qiu Gongzi spoke, of course we are responsive...... "He is an old businessman in the end, although his attitude is polite, but his words are not leaked at all.
But I heard Qiu Yizhi say: "At such a moment, one or two taels of silver can be exchanged for at least one or three silver bills." However, I think that Zhou Daguan and He Jiugong are old people with me, so forget about this matter, I just hope that Zhou Daguan will have a prosperous business. ”
He Jiugong didn't expect that this young Qiu Yizhi still knew such rules, although he didn't raise the price of cash, but he said it thoroughly, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
But the most important thing in the business field is to be quiet, He Jiugong just didn't hear Qiu Yizhi's words, and said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say, I'll order my subordinates to do it, and in a blink of an eye, I will send the silver ticket here first." ”
Qiu Yizhi asked, "My brain is dizzy, I don't know what kind of place this is?" ”
Liu Qing replied: "This is the big tent of the Chinese army made by Jiedu, and all the defense of Jinling is mobilized here. ”
"Then it's hard to give me this side for you......" Qiu Yizhi said a long list of words, his strength was a little insufficient, and he changed his tone and continued, "I don't think it's very convenient here, I live comfortably in Mr. Lin's manor, so it's better to move there." ”
After Qiu Yizhi had already said it, Liu Qing saved a few words, and then sent someone to send Qiu Yizhi, along with his cronies and two hundred exhausted guards, to Lin Shuhan's manor.
Qiu Yizhi was originally in excellent health, but half of the fainting was because Yu Chi Jiming blocked his carotid artery lightly, and the other half was separated from his confidante Wen Lingjiao, so he was in a hurry and lost his normalcy.
After living in Lin Shuhan's manor, with the care of this "Mr. Bansong" with meticulous medical skills, and the care of Yang Yinger, his body has healed in less than three days, but he is still in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to bother, so he simply started to be a public servant, in addition to talking to Lin Shuhan, Zhao Chengxiao and others every day, he lived a life of stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food.
After two or three days in this way, Qiu Yizhi suddenly remembered that the Jinling City he was in was still under siege by the army led by the prince of Lingnan, although he was not the military governor here, but after all, he was also the righteous son of the emperor who held the military power.
So Qiu Yizhi sat up lazily from the boat, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Come on, I want to change my clothes." ”
Yang Ying'er, who was basking in the sun outside the house, listened, quickly pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "Why are you so excited today that you want to get up?" ”
Qiu Yi Zhimu nodded with a face: "I've been sleeping tirelessly these days, get up and evacuate my muscles." ”
Yang Ying'er was quite angry when she heard his words, and she was very happy, so she hurriedly took the clothes that had been washed cleanly and neatly folded to the bedside, and while changing Qiu Yizhi's clothes, she babbled and said: "There is a Li Lao Bolt in Shanyin County, a person who has been diligent all his life, he was originally a farmer when he was young, and he actually saved two or three ......tilts of land when he was fifty years old."
"Oh? Is it? I also worked as a magistrate in Sanyin County, why didn't I know that there was such a person? Qiu Yizhi replied.
Yang Ying'er said: "Don't be busy, listen to me." This Li Laozhuan is a blessed person, he is diligent and thrifty, not to mention, his son is also angry, he was admitted to the Jinshi in his thirties, and went to become an official elsewhere. Since his son became an official, he also made a fortune, and his father couldn't look down on the few small fields that he had worked hard to save all his life......"
Qiu Yizhi accosted again: "Didn't his son sell the land?" ”
Yang Ying'er shook her head, but her hand didn't stop: "The land is sold, but not his son." It was that Li Laozhuan who thought that he was in his fifties, and he would not live for a few years, and his son could not rely on himself, so he simply sold all these lands and got a total of two or three hundred taels of silver. After taking the money, he stopped farming, and sold all the rice, pork, fresh vegetables, and fruits that he was usually reluctant to eat...... Afterward...... What happened later, guess what? ”
Qiu Yizhi didn't think deeply, and replied casually: "Probably this Li Laozhuan has worked hard all his life, and he has enjoyed happiness for a few years, and then he died?" ”
Yang Ying'er smiled and shook her head: "How many years? In less than half a month, Li Laozhuan died. The neighbors saw that he hadn't gone out for a few days, broke down the door, and saw that he had died on the bed, and he was still holding a half-eaten white flour meat steamed bun in his hand! ”
When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he already knew the meaning of Yang Ying'er's words, and said with a smile: "You mean that people can't do nothing, they always have to find something to do, otherwise they will die if they are bored." ”
"Adults are smart, that's what it means. Everyone said that this Li Laozhuan did not have a blessed life, he couldn't live a good life, and he also caused his son to come back and keep filial piety, and his good future was also delayed. Yang Ying'er said.
Qiu Yizhi smiled: "You mean to say that I don't have this blessing, and I can't live an idle life?" ”
Yang Ying'er hurriedly changed her words: "No, no, I didn't mean that." My lord, prince and marquis, apart from the emperor, who has such a blessed life? I mean, it's not a problem for adults to stay out all day with such talents...... I've heard what Miss Wu and Miss Wen said, ...... you, my lord."
Qiu Yizhi suddenly heard Yang Ying'er mention Wen Lingjiao's name, and suddenly remembered that his beloved beauty didn't know where he was now, and his mind was suddenly dizzy again, and his body shook and almost fell down on the bed again.
Yang Ying'er didn't have such a delicate mind, and when she saw Qiu Yizhi's appearance, she quickly leaned over, picked him up, and asked with concern: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? ”
Qiu Yi's book is not a big deal, listening to Yang Ying'er shouting loudly in his ear, he has already woken up, and suddenly felt that Yang Ying'er's plump and towering breasts were pressed tightly on his chest, and saw that her slightly mature face had another charm, and suddenly his heart was ape, and he secretly compared him with Wen Lingjiao, Yiran and other women, and thought: "This Yang Ying'er is actually such a stunner......
But he thought about it again, at the beginning, Cai Min, Li Shenshi and other state and county officials were also seduced by women, and they couldn't hold it for a while, so did they end up ruined? If you are like this, will you not be like them, and you will also fall behind?
So Qiu Yizhi hurriedly calmed down, pushed Yang Ying'er away slightly, and asked, "Ying'er, I told you, do you have anything you can look up to during the training of my personal soldiers?" Tell me to listen, and I'll marry you. ”
When Yang Ying'er heard this, her face turned red, and she said, "This...... This one...... Why did you ask that...... There are good ...... There are also bad ......" did not show the slightest attitude.
Qiu Yizhi said: "What do you think, Wang Laowu?" Before he went to the capital to deliver the letter, he said that it seemed to be interesting to you, and he was afraid that he would not be worthy of you......"
"Wang Lao Wu...... Others can be regarded as honest ......," Yang Ying'er replied with a red face.
Qiu Yizhi heard the three flavors in these words, so he continued: "This is a matter of course. Wang Lao Wu is also a farmer, much more honest than those bandits. Moreover, he went to the capital to report the news this time, and made a great contribution, and he will soon be promoted to an official and a knight, and if you have a relationship with him, it will not insult you. ”
Yang Ying'er's face turned even redder, and she muttered, "My lord, where are you talking about this......
Qiu Yizhi looked at her squirming and pinching, and was thinking it was interesting, when she suddenly heard a few extremely dull sounds outside the window, not far away, not close, it seemed a little familiar, and it seemed a little unfamiliar.
Yang Ying'er on the side was startled by the loud noise, and exclaimed: "Mom! How the sky thundered! ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "On this sunny day, where will there be thunder, unless...... Unless ......"
When he said this, he suddenly realized, and immediately jumped from the bed to the ground, and while walking out of the door, he instructed Yang Ying'er: "Go and call Miss Wu and Qiao'er to prepare, the enemy army is attacking the city!" ”
Qiu Yizhi took three steps and ran outside the bedroom, but saw that Zhao Chengxiao also ran up in a panic and said, "My lord...... Adult ......"
Qiu Yizhi immediately interrupted his words and said, "I know about the siege of the Lingnan King, so I will ask you, did you use explosives during the siege?" ”
Zhao Chengxiao is Qiu Yi's henchman, the method of attacking the city with explosives, he has seen it I don't know how many times, and he already knows its smoke, sound, and smell, and immediately nodded and said: "It should be right, there were only a few explosions, and the Wuding Gate due south was blasted open, but fortunately, the city wall was still stable and did not collapse, Liu Qing had personally led the troops to defend the city, and asked me to come and inform the adults." ”
Qiu Yi listened to Zhao Chengxiao's report, and his brain spun rapidly, and after he finished speaking, he said: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple......
