Chapter 426: Return to Beijing
Ji Qingling thought for a while and asked, "You are asking near the Baokang Gate, but do you know how the Li family and the rich Li father have always been in health?" ”
Rosin replied, "I heard that all of them are healthy. ”
All of them are healthy, but they are all going so early?
Counting up, when Li Chengwei was thirteen years old, his adoptive father and adoptive mother were already dead, and when the two left, it is estimated that they were forty years old.
She thought it all over again.
After Li's father entered the family, he never had a queen, he refused to take a concubine, and he refused to have a room, so he hugged Li Chengwei back.
When Li Chengwei was a child, he said that he was not stingy enough to give him face, according to the people in the market, he knew that when he was a teenager, he knew that going out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble was not an exaggeration.
The son is taught like this, even though both the Li family's parents are responsible, but Li Chengwei is not his own son, although it is better to be born than to raise grace, and there will be feelings after getting along for a long time, judging from his performance when he was a child, it is really normal for his adoptive father and adoptive mother to take precautions.
How will such a son inherit the family business in the future, and will he be filial to his parents?
If you change someone's family, there is a chance that you will raise another one and come back, or think of other ways, and you will not only put your hope on him.
However, the Li family did not.
What's even more interesting is that after barely holding himself down after Li's father died of a sudden illness, Li Chengwei suddenly woke up and began to work hard.
And more than two years later, Li also died.
At this point in time, it is simply too coincidental.
A wife shall keep her husband's filial piety for twenty-seven months.
Twenty-seven months later, the Li family was filial piety, and he could already recruit again.
At this time, her parents are gone, and if she doesn't recruit more, she can't get married.
The Li family should have been in his thirties at the time, and he had a lot of money, as long as he said that he wanted to get married, the matchmaker would be able to level the threshold of the Li family immediately.
I just died at this time.
And after Li's death, Li Chengwei's approach was not reasonable.
The Li family's cloth village not only sells silk and satin fabrics, but also helps people make ready-to-wear clothes, veteran tailors, skilled weavers, and embroidery girls are extremely rare, but after Li Chengwei accepted it, he slowly sent people away.
He had just started his horse business at that time, and he hadn't done much well, so wouldn't it be strange to send money away with the stable income of the cloth village?
Ji Qingling thought about it for a long time, but felt that something was wrong.
It's been too long now, and she can't find the Li family back then, and it's not easy for her to find it, but there is a way, but she can make a guess.
She sent someone to find Liu Muhe, told her the matter briefly, and asked the other party to ask Du Tanzhi to help him retrieve the old files from the Tocao Division of the Kyoto Prefecture, and check the property in the name of the Li family that day, how Li's father was before he became rich, how he was after he became rich, what happened before Li Chengwei took over, what happened after he took over, what happened before Li's death, and what happened after his death.
The Li family was a merchant, and at that time, unlike now, there were two county lords' daughters-in-law, and half of the taxes and fees were not exempted.
In order to estimate the income of the Li family at that time, Ji Qingling asked Du Tanzhi to help check the taxes and fees of the Li family in those years, and the number of long-term and short-term employees who worked in the Li family that day.
Du Tanzhicai was promoted from the Kyoto Prefecture and transferred a file, which was effortless, and everything was found out in a short time.
The Li family's cloth business has always been very good, after Li's father took over, whether it was the newly opened shop or the original shop, it was thriving, but since the second elder of the Li family left, the interest collection was not as good as a year.
Rao is so, with the accumulation of previous years, the income is still very rich.
But by the time Li Chengwei took over, in just two years, less than half of the original income was left.
At this time, Li Chengwei married a wife and had already begun to get involved in the horse business with the help of his wife's family.
In the first few years, there was very little input on the horse business, and there was no look, all supported by the original business of the Li family, but Rao was like this, Li Chengwei still continued to send out the old people in the Li family's cloth village one by one.
If you don't make money and do it hard, you can say that you can see the future gains, but you can't accept the money that you can put in your pocket while lying down, if you say that there is no inside story, how can it be.
and what Rosin Xiang said, everyone in the market said that Li Chengwei looked similar to Li's father.
Ji Qingling went to visit the Chen family, where the original father Li was born.
The Chen family has been tailors for generations, and they have been working in the Li family, but since Li's father became a family, he naturally helped them all release their registrations, and the family went back to their hometown Yingzhou.
Ji Qingling had no choice but to ask Rosin Xiang to take two people to Yingzhou to investigate the situation.
Yingzhou is far from the capital, one way back, less to say ten days, plus the time to visit, less to say half a decade.
Here, she went to investigate the situation of the Li family with what she knew, while waiting for the news of Rosin.
After waiting for ten days, there is no news from Rosin Xiang, but there is another matter in the house.
Yang Yifu returned to Beijing from Xiangzhou to wait for a business, so it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he sent a lot of festival gifts to Gu Zhai.
***
After two years away from the capital, Yang Yifu went to Gucheng County, Xiangzhou, to serve as the county commander.
Thinking that it was a great achievement to help the homeless people, he built a homeless camp, and publicized it in various counties, attracting the victims to Gucheng County.
But due to lack of preparation and steps, he almost provoked a popular uprising, and finally the staff members given by his father-in-law were able to help suppress the matter, and someone helped mediate in the court.
In the second year, because there was no chaos, the people's livelihood in Xiangzhou gradually recovered, he relied on the water, just by transporting the transit, he got a lot of merits, there were more than a dozen staff to help find a way, and there was Fan Yaochen in the middle of the year to help with the dots, and the mid-year examination was finally rated in the middle and upper, and relying on a few political achievements, he finally transferred to Beijing and returned to Beijing.
This foreign assignment was simply torture for him.
There are not a lot of things in Gucheng County, not only have they just suffered disasters, but there are often thieves, and it is already very troublesome to help the homeless, and they have to find a way to catch the thieves. In addition, the county order is a pro-people official, and he has a lot of chores, and in disaster years, things are constantly going on, and the hard work is abnormal.
Although the affairs of the prison can be thrown to the subordinates to handle, and there are many staff members watching the affairs of Qian Gu, taxes, and mulberry fields, Yang Yifu still becomes more and more annoyed the more he does it.
Where is this official!
It's so hard, it's clearly a job!
It's easy to return to Beijing, and he really doesn't want to go abroad anymore.
However, if you don't want to be outside, you can't directly tell Lord Yueshan, so you have to have a score yourself to bring it up.
He thought about it, looked around in Beijing, heard that Gu Yanzhang went to Guangnan, and heard many deeds of the other party, and his heart was complicated, and then he heard that Zheng Shixiu is now very important to the Son of Heaven in Yushi Taizhong, and it is even more sour, so he first sent a gift to Gu Yanzhang's house, and asked people to post and invite Zheng Shixiu to eat.
