Chapter 1147: Home Away
In terms of commercial returns, the rate of return on promotion is much higher than that of serious trading.
If you are a serious businessman, from the cost, to transportation, to sales, and then there are labor expenses, channel expenses, all kinds of dots, and the profits in hand are deducted from the cost expenses.
And being promoted to the rank of lord is much simpler, as long as a message is released to the outside world, "I, I have been promoted, pay for it!" ”
So guests from all over the world flocked to the city, and sure enough, they paid for it.
Cost? Expenditure?
Entertain the guests with a meal.
This is not only a million profits, it is simply a business, and the rate of return is equal to robbing the house.
With the frequency of Li Qinzai's promotion to the rank of knight, it is almost once every three years, that is to say, he has truly realized that he will not open for three years, and he will eat for three years when he is open.
Looking at the long and expensive gift list of the guests, Li Qinzai's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, it was too exciting, he couldn't stand it, and his injuries were about to recur.
Stretching out her hand tremblingly, her breathing became more and more rapid, and her face turned red, Cui Jie was startled and hurriedly held his hand: "What's wrong with my husband?" If you feel uncomfortable, do you want to call a doctor? ”
Li Qinzai's eyes had a clear light, and he raised his hand and pointed to the front yard with difficulty.
"Help me up, I'm going out to entertain your guests!"
Cui Jie was stunned for a moment, and then pinched him angrily: "You...... It's all county dukes, and they're still so greedy for money, can't our family get by? ”
Li Qinzai pointed to the gift list and said, "How can you be rude when your guests come to the door?" They give me a big gift, and I will make them feel at home, and if they are lazy, how will they give it next time? Quick, dress up with me, usher in the send-off, raw Zhang Shuwei, it's all business, what do women know! ”
Cui Jie gritted her teeth and dressed Li Qinzai neatly, and pushed the wheelchair out of the backyard.
The front yard of the Guogong Mansion was already full of people, and there was an endless stream of guests coming in and out, and when you looked carefully, most of them were familiar faces.
Among them are his disciples Li Sujie, Li Xian and others, as well as some of Li Tao's old friends such as Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin, etc., as well as Li Siwen's colleagues in the DPRK and China, as well as the family gate valve in Chang'an, etc.
Li Siwen and his wife were like butterflies in the front yard, sweating profusely and smiling to entertain the guests.
Originally, the party was Li Qinzai, but as the news of Jin Jue spread, the magnates and gate lords of Chang'an knew that Li Qinzai was seriously injured and was recuperating in the backyard.
However, at this moment, seeing Cui Jie pushing Li Qinzai out, the guests' eyes lit up and they stepped forward to congratulate them.
In the face of the surging congratulatory message, Li Qinzai showed a warm smile full of fortune and treasure.
They are all distinguished guests, all of them are gold and silver jewelry walking upright, and they dare not make such an outrageous wish to worship the God of Wealth......
"Wahahahaha, what a descendant, a man!" Cheng Yanjin came out and looked up to the sky and laughed, looking at Li Qinzai with approving eyes: "The matter of Goguryeo, we old guys have heard about it, and we have done a good job, we are worthy of being a loyal and brave minister of my Tang Dynasty, and I didn't disgrace your grandfather!" ”
Su Dingfang looked at him with a distressed face: "Good boy, why do you have to come out to meet people before you are seriously injured, you can rest in the backyard with peace of mind, you are all elders who have watched you grow up, who will pick this gift?" I'll wait to come and see, and I'll leave right away, so as not to disturb your injuries. ”
Li Qinzai said movingly: "The younger generation has just returned to Chang'an, and it is rude not to visit the elders, you have come to the door in person, if I still turn a blind eye, how can I be worthy of the love and care of the elders for many years." ”
The guests present were full of praise.
Look at other people's children, victorious but not arrogant, obvious but not indulgent, the prince of Jue Jin County is still humble, and he still insists on coming out to meet guests despite his pain.
Thinking about the few unfortunate beasts in their own family, they are all waiting for themselves to kick their legs to inherit the title and family property, in contrast, everyone's hearts are sour and they want to cry.
Only Cui Jie behind her quietly lowered her head and rolled her eyes imperceptibly.
Holding up the seriously injured body and insisting on coming out to meet the guests, it is really not a kind of upbringing and etiquette, the husband is purely in the mood of entertaining customers.
If this unsightly mind is known by the elders present, I am afraid that my husband will be beaten all over the sky.
The reason why you are called a guest is because the gifts they give are very expensive.
Of course, Li Qinzai would not be rude to the customers, and after greeting them in the front yard, he immediately ordered a banquet to be set up and invited the distinguished guests to sit in the hall.
Taking advantage of Li Tao's expedition, the kabuki, who rarely entertained guests in the house, were also generously called out by Li Qinzai.
In the crowd of guests, Li Siwen quietly glanced at Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai looked at his father innocently, and after the father and son's eyes quickly met, Li Siwen acquiesced to his son's decision to summon Kabuki entertainers.
Who doesn't love to watch beautiful women? Isn't it lustful to be a father?
On the contrary, the father's love of the father is more and more overflowing, as long as he is good-looking, he must force people to call him father, and the great father's love must be dedicated to the whole world.
Hot food and drinks are served to the people, and the kabuki in their graceful posture also appear on the stage, and the dancers dance in the hall with their long sleeves in the melodious silk bamboo and bamboo flute music.
This is the standard form of banquet for the Tang elite, with good wine and food and beautiful color, and the three beauties will feel at home when they get together.
Before a few sips of the wine were consumed, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became high.
As Li Cui's and Cui Jie and other female dependents retreated in a playful manner, the front hall was even more of a group of demons dancing.
Li Qinzai has always kept smiling, and he can chat with anyone, after all, the people who come to the door today are basically old acquaintances, including Xu Jingzong, Xu Yushi and other ministers, as well as military generals such as Su Dingzhi and Jin.
At the end of the dance, the dancers saluted and retreated.
The guests in the hall began to talk about business, and now for Datang, the most important thing is the Eastern Crusade.
Su Dingfang raised his head, and everyone's thoughts suddenly returned from the stunning Maiko to the Goguryeo war.
"It's strange, last month the British Gong sent back a military report that the army of the Wang Division had formed a three-sided encirclement of Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and it stands to reason that the military report of the general attack of the Wang Division should have been received at the beginning of this month, why has it not arrived for a long time?" Su Dingfang frowned.
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "It's very urgent, the battle is like water, water is impermanent, any accident on the battlefield can happen, maybe it is a sneak attack by the enemy, maybe it is the lack of food and grass, with the ability of the British Gong, since Pyongyang has been surrounded on three sides, the Goguryeo gang of thieves will not be able to escape, and sooner or later they will be escorted to Chang'an." ”
Hearing Cheng Yanjin say that "there is not enough food and grass", Xu Jingzong suddenly became anxious.
He is the right minister, and Li Zhi personally inquired about the imperial court's raising of grain and grass for half a year, and he was responsible for the implementation.
"Lu Gong is slow, this old man can't carry it!" Xu Jingzong's face flushed and said hurriedly.
