The two of them went all the way to the Salesian Bureau, and they didn't go in, they just stood outside and watched Wu Chengshan busy, and only took a few steps back after a while, and whispered while walking back along the already empty and empty street.

"•••••• why don't you persuade him tomorrow? Although this Wu Chengshan is a little roundabout, he is really sincere for the people, and such a good official is very rare. ”

"Well, good!" Su Zicheng simply agreed, but Li Xiaoqi shook his head and sighed: "The prince persuaded him again, I am also dedicated, no matter what happens in the future, you can't blame me••••••" Li Xiaoqi didn't say any more, Su Zicheng hurriedly comforted in a low voice: "How can you blame you for the war between the two countries?" You're thinking too much about it again. Li Xiaoqi looked up at him, hung his head and did not speak, the two of them walked back unhurriedly on the blue stone road, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the shops on both sides of the road with closed doors and the rest of his life after the disaster, Su Zicheng followed her gaze and looked at both sides and smiled: "With you to take care of it, I will see that it will be half a month at most, and this street will be lively again and I can't run horses." ”

Li Xiaoqi said absentmindedly 'um', the two turned a corner, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Su Zicheng and discussed: "This year, the wind and rain on Huainan Road have been smooth, and until now, this war has not caused much harm to the countryside, and we have reduced the grain endowment by thirty percent, and in the autumn, I am afraid that the grain will hurt the farmers." Su Zicheng just listened intently, since Li Xiaoqi mentioned this, he must have made a decision, Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng and stopped for a while, before he continued: "Wudi tea, wine, and salt are all sold by the government. ”

"Salt, we are also officially sold." Su Zicheng hurriedly explained,

"Well, I know, since Huainan Road has been merged into Beiping, this tea and wine, according to the rules of our Beiping, open the official ban, the same as salt," Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Lukang to the north and south, can make excellent salt fields, however, I don't approve of official sales, this is not good if you get an official, the official family just collects taxes, I mean ••••••" Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng with a long voice, Su Zicheng nodded and signaled her to say, Li Xiaoqi smiled: "I mean, call the merchants of Beiping and Liangdi to Huainan Road to do business, First, lest the Huainan Road merchants get the benefits of tea, wine and salt, the prosperity is too much, the formation of the tail is not down, there are Beiping and Liangdi merchants to share the profits, mutual checks and balances are the best, second, even if it is a person, but also to come and go often to get close, to quickly integrate Huainan Road into Beiping, everyone will come and go, do more business. ”

"This is a good idea, call the merchants of Beiping and Liangdi to do business, how do you call it? Do you want to issue a decree? Su Zicheng paused, looked at Li Xiaoqi with a frown and asked, Li Xiaocheng looked at him with a depressed face, took a deep breath and sighed heavily, Su Zicheng coughed lightly a few times, and said stiffly: "This method is the cheapest!" Li Xiaoqi looked at him and snorted: "The cheapest? The most expensive is about the same! Cows don't drink water and force their heads? Merchants are profit-seeking, as long as the wind is released, it will be said that this Huainan Road is full of gold••••••" Su Zicheng twisted his head, shook off his fan and shook it and said: "Gold everywhere? Where? Trick me first? Forget it, you can do it, it's really troublesome! Li Xiaoqi blinked again and again, simply ignored Su Zicheng, and walked forward with his hands while laughing to himself.

Su Zicheng followed Li Xiaoqi and reminded: "There are no businessmen and no treachery, and you can't be too polite when dealing with these businessmen." ”

"Alas!" Li Xiaoqi sighed heavily, stopped his steps, looked up at Su Zicheng and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Hmmm! Advocating agriculture and suppressing business, businessmen do not produce, resell fishing profits, my mother also said this back then, merchants can not do without, but they cannot let the wind of business spread, so that it hurts the foundation of the country. Su Zicheng said solemnly, Li Xiaoqi looked at him in a daze, blinked his eyes for a long time, but couldn't say a word, stayed for a long time, Li Xiaoqi exhaled a long breath, Queen Xiaoci said, that is the truth, she understands this very well, Li Xiaoqi frustrated and shook his arm for a while, slowed down his pace, looked up at Su Zicheng and said seriously: "No business, no treachery, this is really true, but this treacherous word can be exquisite." ”

"What's so important?" Su Zicheng asked with a smile, and Li Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Shopping malls are like battlefields, have you ever heard of this?" Su Zicheng shook his head, and Li Xiaoqi continued: "A traitorous word, there is a small rape, there is a big rape, this little rape will not be said, it is not in the stream, this big rape, it is a bit clumsy, the real traitorous businessmen, but they are all loyal elders, a promise, a promise, such a businessman, even if it encounters a catastrophe, overnight thousands of family wealth into scorched earth, as long as others are still there, with the reputation of the name, but half a year and a few months, this business is still doing well, this is the real traitor!" Su Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, and pondered for a while before he smiled: "There is some truth." ”

"To make money in business, in fact, it is not very easy, not smart people really can't do it, this is not the same as farming, farming, as long as you are willing to contribute, the harvest will not be too bad, but the business is not like this, can anyone do business can make money?" Li Xiaoqi continued to gossip, Su Zicheng thought about it and laughed: "The eldest sister has done a tea business, and she went in at a loss, so angry that she almost sent the shopkeeper to the government." ”

"You've owned a liquor store, too." Li Xiaoqi smiled and continued: "This business is doing well, just like you fighting, you need to be gifted with aura, but it's really not a matter of flooding." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, who was smiling, and laughed: "I have a natural aura for fighting, and you have a talented aura for business, but •••••• is good." ”

The two talked and laughed all the way back to the Yamen, which had been changed to the Yamen of the Chuzhou General Army, and after eating, Li Xiaoqi returned to the side courtyard, thought for a long time, and instructed Begonia to lay paper and study ink, first crookedly wrote a letter to Shuilian, and asked her to find Fifth Brother Zhao and Zhang Gouzi to pass a word for herself, so that the two of them brought enough silver tickets to come to Huainan Road to buy raw silk, Huainan Road has a good year this year, but Wu Di is in the war, this raw silk is backlogged, it is the time to buy cheaply, in addition, Huainan Road is rich in grain and oil, and all kinds of strange things transported from overseas. Because of the chaos in Wudi, there is also a lot of backlog, the text is white, and it took more than two pages to finish the verbosity, hold it up and look at it carefully, this letter is really impossible to read! sighed, put it in an envelope and sealed it with lacquer, and wrote a letter to Yu Yuanshan, simply understanding a few words, only telling him that Huainan Road would open tea, wine and salt farms, and there were no other words, and they were also sealed, handed over to Begonia, and let people send them out overnight.

Just after the next day's meal, Su Zicheng strode in with a folding fan, sat down directly to the left of Li Xiaoyi, scared off the officials who were all over the house with a gloomy face, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said, "I have all the good things to say, it's a stone!" Never mind! Li Xiaoqi sighed dejectedly, looked at Su Zicheng and said in a low voice: "Then don't delay, the sooner the better." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you arrange this matter, and you are more careful than me." Su Zicheng nodded and replied, Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and looked at his hands, sighed, turned his head to find Dongping and called over and ordered: "You go and tell Wu Chengshan that the prince respects him for his love and loyalty to the people, and he can't bear to kill him and hurt the hearts of the people of Chuzhou, so I will send him back to Taiping Mansion today, there are two things, please let him decide by himself, first, Shi Guozhu will be hanged at noon, ask him if he sacrifices Shi Guozhu and then leave, or set off now, second, Shi Guozhu has two concubines by his side, as if he is pregnant, and wants to ask him to take him back to Taiping Mansion and send him back to Shi's house, and ask him if he is willing to take him with him." Dongping bowed down and agreed, and withdrew to find Wu Chengshan to pass the word, Li Xiaoqi beckoned to Qingcheng and ordered: "You go and take Shi Guozhu's two concubines to say goodbye to Shi Guozhu, and then ask which one is pregnant, the prince said, for the sake of Lord Wu's face, if she is pregnant, she will be sent back to Taiping Mansion with Lord Wu." Qingcheng blinked, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "If not, do you have to wait for General Shi to return to the west?" ”

"That'll do fine." Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile, Qingcheng bent his knees and smiled: "I understand what the girl means." With that, he took two steps back and walked out of the main hall, called two rough envoys, and went to the back room to pick up people.

Shi Guozhu's two concubines, Zhao and Qian followed behind Qingcheng in horror, and stumbled into the front yard with a deep foot and a shallow foot, in the front yard room, Shi Guozhu sat on the couch with a bloodless face, staring straight at the pearl standing in front of him, and the pearl was passing Su Zicheng's order: "Lord •••••• means to behead you to show the public, it is Lord Wu who intercedes for you, saying that it is a good colleague, I can't bear to see your head in a different place, for the sake of Lord Wu's face, Lord ordered, give you hanging, so as to leave a whole corpse, The lord also allowed your two concubines to come over and send you on the road, by the way, Lord Wu said, it's a good colleague, and he will come over to see you off later. After speaking, Mingzhu looked up at the moment when he spoke, and the black-clothed guard had neatly placed Bai Aya between the beams, glanced at Shi Guozhu, who was sitting in a daze, and turned to go out.

Qingcheng led Zhao and Qian to the door of the wing, he stopped at the door of the wing, raised his chin and signaled the mother-in-law to hand over the box with wine and food to the two, Zhao and Qian took the suitcase with trembling hands, and stumbled into the east chamber, Qingcheng listened to the movement in the room with his ears, and there was a high and low cry in the wing, and he didn't dare to let go of the cry, sandwiched by Zhao and Qian's vague words: "What should I do if •••••• master •••••••••••• Lord Wu ••••••"

"Shut up!" Shi Guozhu shouted violently, and Qingcheng was so frightened that he also played smartly, "Scum!" Bah! An old dog who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Bah! Shi Guozhu shouted hoarsely, Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his head to look at the Hanging Flower Gate, and saw that the little guy next to Dongping turned into the Hanging Flower Gate, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the mother-in-law to go in and dragged Zhao and Qian out, half dragging and half helping the two to go to the Hanging Flower Gate.
