Before and after the meal, Su Zicheng's letter arrived again, from Su Zicheng left Yangzhou Pingdang Huainan Road everywhere, this letter is every day when the food is in the house at this hour, send Su Zicheng's letter, this letter is also the same as this hour, the beginning must be safe do not read, and then it must be yesterday to level which place, there must be only one sentence, half a word of details, the last sentence, must also be a sentence, estimate when to return to Yangzhou, Li Xiaoqi received the letter on the first day, but tangled for a long time, tangled to the end, In the end, he didn't write a reply, but only let the letter carry two sentences: "The letter has been read, and Yangzhou is safe." It's a hot day, please take care of yourself. These two sentences, just like that, with the letter, are said every day.

Shi Yu and the other three of them were busy for half a month, and generally sorted out the clues, the three of them got together and were busy for another day, carefully sorted out the outline, and saw that Li Xiaoqi discussed for most of the day, and then went back and forth to revise, so three or four trips, and finally set the rules for the first year's bidding, Li Xiaoqi carefully calculated for a night, and instructed Shi Yutong to take charge of the bidding, and set the date of the bidding after the prince returned, and instructed Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian to return to their respective jurisdictions immediately, and inform the rich businessmen in the jurisdiction of the matter. You can come over that day. Zhao Hongzhi and Ming Qian hurriedly returned to the jurisdiction after quitting, while Shi Yu was busy summoning the wealthy merchants in Yangzhou to convey the details of the bidding.

Li Xiaoyi's name is Fifth Brother Zhao and Zhang Zhongyi - this Zhang Zhongyi is Zhang Gouzi, and now he is also a well-known shopkeeper. It's really indecent, so I begged Li Xiaoqi to give another name, just when Lu Feng was there, blocking in front of Li Xiaoqi, I had to give Zhang Gouzi a name, this top, Lu Feng was the most talented, and he took several in one breath, what Zhang Yu, Uncle Zhang Jackal, Zhang Hanlu, Zhang Huang'er, Zhang Gouzi blinked when he listened, Li Xiaoqi gave it all in one bite, what Uncle Jackal, Huang Er, isn't it still a dog? He is not allowed to bring out the meaning of dogs and dogs in his name, Lu Feng's brain turned quickly, and he got up a bunch of them in one breath, what Zhang Dayi, Zhang Zhongyi, Zhang Pangde, Zhang Zhongyi•••••• Zhang Gouzi fell in love with this at a glance. The word 'loyalty', Li Xiaoqi thinks about it, forget it, loyalty is loyalty, Lu Feng is happy, and simply send another word: Liben, after naming Zhang Gouzi, Lu Feng is still happy, Xing Chong Chong found Zhao Wuge, he must change his name, and by the way, he will send another word, Zhao Wuge refused to die, saying that he was originally in the clan on the five, this name is excellent, never change, Lu Feng was stupid, in the end, he had to send a word 'like-minded' to Zhao Wuge to be counted.

Li Xiaoqi called the two of them in, and told the wine license and the tea mountain and the salt field, and told the two to buy a few more tea mountains, as for the salt field, first four or five hundred acres on the line, no need to many, the wine is only afraid that there are many families, and they will not interfere, Zhao Wuge and Zhang Zhongyi led the order to come out, first looked for President Qian, and told these three things euphemistically, President Qian and the wealthy businessmen of Liangdi knew before they came that the important business was wine, tea, and salt. Only the salt is a little confused, now I know the details of the target and the plan of the fifth master, more than a dozen people discussed all night, before agreeing on the idea, this tea mountain, the fifth master wants to buy more, they naturally have to respectfully avoid, this salt field, the fifth master wants to be four or five hundred acres, they have also set down, each family is about a thousand acres, and the fifth master must not suffer a loss, as for the wine, this is the most coveted business before coming, since the fifth master does not interfere, they are not welcome, how much can it be.

At the beginning of the dawn, President Qian and everyone had breakfast, and said with bloodshot eyes: "Okay, the big thing has been decided, but you can't take it lightly, there are many giant businessmen on Huainan Road, and the financial resources are abundant, we have taken advantage of two things this time, one is determined, and the other is that everything is known early, the opportunity is rare, everyone hurry back to raise silver taels, how much can be raised, Zhao Wuye missed the words, it is estimated that it is the Midyear Festival, and there must be no news!" Everyone agreed excitedly, but they didn't care about saying more, so they hurriedly said goodbye, and hurriedly went back to show their magic skills to raise silver taels.

President Qian stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back for a while, walked out of the courtyard gate, turned the corner of the alley, and entered the residence of Fifth Brother Zhao and Zhang Zhongyi. Leave one step ahead, there is a sentence. Fifth Brother Zhao hurriedly handed over the reins to the little guy, President Qian pulled him to the side and walked a few steps closer, first whispered the idea that everyone had agreed upon, and finally asked: "•••••• has one more thing, I just want to ask more, this trip is actually a tea mountain, I get a lot of silver, if the like-minded brother wants silver, I have a •••••• there."

"No, no, no!" Fifth Brother Zhao hurriedly smiled and waved his hand and said: "Thank you Master Qian, our fifth master does things, you also know, everything is prepared first, this silver has already been fully prepared, by the way, there is also a big business, the fifth master just confessed before, and when I am busy with this, I will talk to Qian Ye when I turn around, you, hurry up and dig out the silver in the cellar!" Our fifth master's business, one after another, is not afraid of no money to make, but I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of it! Fifth Brother Zhao patted President Qian's shoulder, and said with a smile, Qian Hui'er's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he was about to flash out, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Everyone earns money!" Look at you, I've been busy losing weight these days, I just have a few sprigs of best red ginseng there, and I'll send them over when I turn around, stew a bowl of red ginseng and chicken soup, you and Brother Liben have to make up for it! ”

"I can't afford it! Our five masters have big rules, don't dare! Can't! Fifth Brother Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself, President Qian sighed with a bitter face, and pulled Fifth Brother Zhao to complain: "Zhitong, I am a real person, you say, we sent a few things to the fifth master, except for those water chestnuts, lotus pods or something, everything that is worth a little money, the fifth master will not accept it, you and Liben, it is also a style!" Tell me, where do we send our gratitude? It's just to ask the Bodhisattva, if it is successful, you have to make a vow, right?! Fifth Brother Zhao laughed out loud when President Qian said: "Didn't I tell you, our fifth master doesn't look at these little things, what you just said about buying a tea mountain, isn't it just to repay our fifth master's favor?" Our fifth master must receive your affection, if the fifth master has anything, he can get a few supports, that is the great favor! ”

"This is a matter of this, this daily life has to be more exchanges, isn't it, you have to point out, what do you want to send the fifth master to accept?" President Qian pulled Fifth Brother Zhao and didn't let go, and Fifth Brother Zhao shook him off with a smile: "Master Qian is really!" You're old •••••• alas! In the autumn, our second master Wei gets married, you can send it, no matter how you send it, our fifth master can't block it back for you, it's all done, right? Chairman Qian let go of Fifth Brother Zhao with a smile, raised his hand and patted his forehead heavily and said, "I'm confused!" Old fool! Fifth Brother Zhao resigned from President Qian, got on the horse and hurried away, President Qian held his stomach and shook his hands back to the yard, and he was also busy raising his own money.

Approaching the Midyear Festival, Su Zicheng said that he wanted to come back before the Midyear Festival, Li Xiaoqi compared the Huainan Road map, and posted a green star on the place name of the day to be pacified, and stood far away to look at the map, the green on the map is very pleasing to the eye, and there are few remaining blanks, it is time to come back.

Li Xiaoqi pondered for a while, asked Shi Yu to come over, and said that Su Zicheng rushed back before the Zhongyuan Festival, and discussed that the day of the bid was set on the next day of the Zhongyuan Festival, and discussed this matter, Li Xiaoqi smiled, sighed and said in a low voice: "The Zhongyuan Festival is a festival of sacrifice, the prince is merciful, this trip is only afraid that it will not only sacrifice the death of the Beiping army, but also the people who died in Wudi, and the prince may also have to sacrifice. Can you please write a copy first? Needless to say, the talent of adults is not to mention, and there is a pain in this disaster, this article must be able to be written appropriately, Lord Shi read? Shi Yu looked at Li Xiaoqi with complicated eyes, nodded solemnly and said, "This is the honor of the lower officials!" The lower official wrote it and sent it to the fifth master first. Li Xiaoqi nodded in response, and explained some miscellaneous things, and Shi Yu went back.

There are four or five days away from the Midyear Festival, Yangzhou City is lively outside the city, the streets are full of selling spiritual weapons boots and shoes, paper clothes and hats, some of the workmanship is crude, some are colorful, delicate very, even the golden rhino jade belt is sold, in addition to these, it is printed into a page of the Lotus Sutra, the Bon of the Dark Money, in short, they are all related to the underworld, Li Xiaoqi and Lu Feng, Liu Xiuyun walked for a long time and were unwilling to go again, the three of them were not interested in these things, and went to the tile shop, and the family played the role of Mu Lian to save the mother! The three of them came back boringly, and Lu Feng muttered all the way, daring to love that the Zhongyuan Festival in Yangzhou City was also so boring!

The day before the Midyear Festival, not long after the city gate was opened, Su Zicheng rushed into Yangzhou City surrounded by guards and small servants, ran straight from the still empty street to the gate of the courtyard, jumped off the horse, and ran straight into the courtyard.

Li Xiaoqi got up in a daze, hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, hurriedly went out, just out of the courtyard door, turned around a rockery, and met Su Zicheng who strode over, Su Zicheng had already bathed and changed his clothes, stood up and down refreshedly, looked Li Xiaoqi up and down and was about to speak, behind, Lu Feng's strange cry came: "Little Wu!" The porter said that the stone came back••••••" Su Zicheng was stunned, his face was full of anger, behind Li Xiaoyi, Lu Feng had already flown over, and when he saw Su Zicheng, the last word 'haze' was stuck in his throat, choking on the terrier's neck, and the raised hand was pulled back: "I •••••• to say, there, there, there is a stone, ••••••"
