While eating, Tong Xiao pushed the door in, and when he saw that Yu Qing had already eaten, he was stunned, walked to the table and sat down, and ate with her.

"Don't wait for me, you actually eat alone." Tong Xiao complained.

Yu Qing was sandwiching a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, which was quickly snatched away by Tong Xiao's eyes, and the bones and meat were sent to his mouth to chew with a creaky sound.

Yu Qing saw that the meat in his mouth was gone, and he was glared at viciously by the other party like chewing his own bones, and when he rolled his eyes, he knew that he was still angry at himself for calculating his affairs.

I wasn't annoyed, and I sandwiched another piece of pork ribs and sent it to Tong Xiao's bowl, "If you like to eat, eat more if you like to eat." ”

After saying that, she picked up a piece again and put it in her bowl like no one else, and no one grabbed it from her this time, hehe.

Tong Xiao was really still angry about the news he had just learned, he was really blocked, but he didn't expect to be completely calculated by a girl younger than himself, and he felt disgraced.

He didn't expect that he could do something naïve enough to snatch food under the chopsticks, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, but the meat was indeed a little relieved to chew in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qing was unusual, not only did she not fight him.

Instead, he put another piece into the bowl, and Tong Xiao suddenly felt that his older years had entered the dog's belly, and he had no face to be angry again.

Yu Qing saw that Tong Xiao was finally eating obediently, and when she lowered her head, her eyes flashed, and she actually sandwiched a piece of pork ribs to her, "Give it back to you!" "It's thrown into her bowl, but it's better than nothing.

If Tong Xiao knew that he was being calculated again, he might smash the bowl angrily and leave the table angrily.

Then the two of them were concentrating on eating, and did not speak again, and the room was very quiet for a while, except for the occasional collision of dishes and chopsticks, which was also very harmonious.

After the two finished eating, they set off back to the Golden Pavilion Temple, and Tong Xiao finally remembered another thing he wanted to say to Yu Qing in the carriage.

"I will come to you again in two days, tell you all the shops and forces of Dingli in detail, and I will also take you to inspect the stores and get familiar with the strength of Dingli."

Yu Qing thought that she really needed the help of this powerful force, because she had already guessed the truth about the destruction of the Irgen family back then.

I still remember what Concubine Zhen said when she held her hand before she died, Concubine Hua was the real murderer of the Ilgen family.

And Concubine Hua was so ruthless, it was nothing more than hearing about the relationship between the Ilgen matrimony and the people in power, and wanted to get the powerful jade pendant from them to take charge of this big trading house.

Yu Qing felt that it was not so simple.

On the surface, it was indeed Concubine Hua's doing, but in fact, Concubine Hua and the Queen Mother were aunts and nephews, and Yu Qing felt that the Queen Mother would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

The two are both members of the Erji family, and Erji has been at odds with the Muyan family for many years.

And the queen's throne has been occupied by the Muyan clan, once the queen is pregnant and gives birth to a prince, Erji's fate will become precarious.

Erji took precautions, knowing that if he wanted not to be annexed and wiped out by the Muyan clan, it was better to get greater help from a greater force than to covet things that were more dependent on the will of heaven such as pregnancy and childbirth.

And the powerful Dingli Commercial Bank has become their best choice.

Sent to the foot of the mountain, Tong Xiao left, Yu Qing walked all the way back to the courtyard, and saw the two guards at the door still sitting on the ground from afar, and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this drug.

Hurriedly stepped forward and took out the small glass bottle from his arms, opened the seal and shook it under the noses of the two of them, and then quickly closed it and put it away.

When the guard was asleep, he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder and calling him, and when he opened his eyes with great difficulty, he saw the enlarged face of Yu Qing in front of him.

"Brother Guard, wake up, Brother Guard."

Yu Qing pretended to pat the shoulders of the two, and when she saw that the two were awake, she said with a concerned face: "It's hard work, if you are really sleepy, it is better to go and rest, it is almost dark, I will not leave." ”

Listening to Yu Qing's words, the guards only vaguely remembered that they were indeed extremely tired today.

It may be caused by standing guard for days, and I can't hold back my sleepiness at noon, so I want to take a lazy nap.

Who would have thought that it would be late in the evening, and it seems that Qing promised to find them asleep, so they should not have gone out.

"Qing promised to forgive the sins, but the lowly officials slacked off, and the lowly promises that such a situation will never occur again."

Even so, the guards didn't dare to really go back to rest according to what Yu Qing said, and the Queen Mother's order that they dare to leave without permission, immediately stand up again, and conscientiously guard the door.

Yu Qing snickered, why promise her, she wants you to slack off every day, besides, there is this medicine, do you guarantee it?

He didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned around and went back to the courtyard, and he must go to the Huiren Medical Hall he said with Tong Xiao another day, not to mention anything else, first get a few bottles of medicine from Doctor Hu.

Tong Xiao said that it would be a few days, but the next day he came to find Yu Qing and took her to his residence, Tong Xiao wanted Yu Qing to take over as soon as possible, so when they arrived at the place, the two went straight to the study.

"There are countless industries under the name of Dingli, which are increasing every year, not only in Beijing, but also in the whole country, and even in other countries, there are branches of Dingli."

Tong Xiao found a few books from the bookshelf and put them in front of Yu Qing, "These books record the names of all the stores, and mark in detail the specific content of their business. ”

Yu Qing picked up one of them, opened it and read two pages, and really dabbled in a wide range of restaurants, cloth villages, beauty, green buildings, gambling houses, custom furniture, groceries, etc., all the industries that Yu Qing could think of, Ding Li was complete.

During the period when Yu Qing was flipping through it, Tong Xiao was not idle, and took a stack of books from the bookshelf and put them on the table.

"These are the account books submitted by various shops in the capital, and from today onwards, you must also learn to read the accounts."

"So much?" Looking at the account book that is half a meter high, Yu Qing has a headache, she really has a big job, she can only work hard, the task is heavy, and the road is long.

"Do you think it's so easy to be a powerful ruler?" This is where it goes, but it's just a drop in the bucket.

Tong Xiao turned his back to Yu Qing and continued to rummage through the bookshelves, while introducing the specific situation of Dingli to Yu Qing, "The store under the name of Dingli ......"

It was only today that Yu Qing really understood how terrifying Dingli's strength was from Tong Xiao's mouth.

Dingli is involved in various industries, and has branches in the country and even other countries, and each store can become the top store in the local industry at a very fast speed.

It can be said that it has a great deal of control over people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Dingli's internal classification is clear, except that each store has a shopkeeper and a manager.

There will also be a general manager in a certain area to be in charge of the affairs in his own area, and the regional manager will report the profit of the quarter to Tong Xiao every quarter.

Because the shops are all over the world, and the goods are exquisite and expensive, most of the people who can afford to buy them are kings and grandsons, nobles, wealthy and high-ranking officials, and over time, the capital and Dingli have some inevitable connections.

Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the people in power in the past dynasties took their means seriously, and over the years, they gradually turned the lowest businessmen into a business empire that even the royal relatives and nobles had to give three points of thin face.

Changing people's hearts is not an easy task.

"Generations of powerful rulers are worthy of admiration." Yu Qing praised.

Tong Xiao heard that he turned around and glanced at Yu Qing, his expression was unfathomable, but Yu Qing quickly understood what it meant, which was to feel that she was still underestimating Ding Li.

Tong Xiao put the book he finally found after searching for a long time on top of the book spread out by Yu Qing, "Do you think Dingli only has these abilities?" It's much more than that......"

Yu Qing looked at the name on the book, only two simple words, the directory, opened it in confusion, looked at it row by row, and the more she looked back, the more frightened she became!

The names recorded on it are all the names of the court officials!

Although it is only a thin book, it records the positions and functions of each official in detail, and Yu Qing was surprised and a little surprised at the same time.

"This, are these people ......" Yu Qing asked Tong Xiao tentatively with expectation in her eyes.

"That's right, these people are all ministers who have been trained and are officials in the court." Tong Xiao nodded and gave Yu Qing a heart-shaking answer.

Since ancient times, merchants have been the most despised bottom class, and successive rulers have been recognized and valued in order to realize their ambitions and make Dingli one day recognized and valued by people.

Even the royal family talked about the existence of changing color, cultivating countless poor but still ambitious scholars.

Although it is rare to end up at the top of the mountain.

But over time, to this day, there are a lot of hard efforts in the court, and these are all carefully selected people who have absolute loyalty to Dingli.

Tong Xiao's words really made Yu Qing a little overjoyed. Originally, I only wanted to use my financial strength and control of items closely related to people's lives to compete with the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Many of these officials who have been vigorously cultivated even hold important positions!

In addition to joy, Yu Qing also fell into deep thought, and it was only now that she understood.

originally thought that it was just the interests of the family, and the Erji family did not want to be weakened by the Muyan family, so the Queen Mother and Concubine Hua tried their best to get the full wealth.

Yu Qing remembered that she had gone to visit Concubine Shen before, and the Queen Mother happened to be there, in order to stimulate Concubine Shen, the Queen Mother said that most of the people in the court obeyed her.

Now it seems that although they also covet Dingli's wealth, what they want more is Dingli's part of the power in the court!

Its plot is even bigger and more terrifying, and it is in vain to try to control the entire court, which is really condemnable!

Yu Qing couldn't help but think of the emperor, who was diligent and loved the people, and had great ambitions and visions for the country he governed.

Unexpectedly, the battlefield had already been divided above the court, and all positions were clear and independent.

"I tell you this, so that you can know in your heart, no matter how much I say, it's just the surface, and you have to learn and see it yourself."

Tong Xiao said, reaching out and touching the top of Yu Qing's hair.

Yu Qing found that since the two of them were honest with each other, they got along more harmoniously and naturally, like relatives.

"It's all self-taught?"

Yu Qing looked down at the scattered books on the table, as well as the thick stack of ledgers in the corner, her brows furrowed, and her head ached.

"Naturally."

Tong Xiao's tail tone was elongated, and he said half of the words.

Seeing that Yu Qing mistakenly thought that she really wanted her to bow her head when she was studying on her own, she smiled and said: "Naturally, I will arrange a corresponding husband for you, and I will also tutor you in my spare time." ”
