Chapter 222

"What kind of moth did this kid Li Xiao have, why did he enter Beijing again?" Seeing the gift list presented by Xie Youcai, Wei Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction. Especially the thirty big front doors, Wei Zhongxian's eyes were hot. Nowadays, it is still the most popular thing to enjoy people's things.

is 9,000 years old, and there are many socials at home. Now the guests do not entertain the big front door, which is a very humiliating thing. Father-in-law Wei is a face-saving person, and the cost of this big front door is naturally very large.

"A few days ago, my housekeeper was assassinated by a gang of beggars. If it hadn't been for Lord Jinyi Wei Xu passing by and saving him, he would have almost died. My lord is here to deal with this matter, because the imperial court has regulations. The officers with troops outside were not allowed to walk around in the capital, so they asked the villain to meet the nine thousand years old on their behalf. The loyalty of my family to the 9,000-year-old has not changed in the slightest.

Nine thousand years old, don't be picky! Xie Youcai did his best to play his strengths, and Li Xiao couldn't say anything about killing him.

"Oh, and such a thing. This gang, there is still such a big force. Take my post and bring a message to Tian Ergeng and let him take care of it. In the realm of the capital, what you want is peace. Otherwise, when the Lord asks about it, our family will not be able to explain.

Come on! Our family sees the loyalty of your family, and we will go back and tell your family. Guarding Liaodong well, it is important to be loyal to the emperor. ”

"No! The old slave must bring the words to my family. ”

"Let's go back!"

"No!" Xie Youcai bowed and retreated.

There is no way to do it, now Wei Zhongxian's power is big. If you want to make money in the capital steadily, you can't do it without Wei Zhongxian's support. Although Li Xiao's heart also wanted to cut this dead eunuch with thousands of eight hundred knives.

"Li Xiao was so rude that he didn't come to see the nine thousand years old in person. Hum! This is a reversal. Wei Guanghui saw Xie Youcai go out, so he spoke hatefully.

"Elder Ge! You got rid of Li Xiao, who will guard Liaodong? Tian Ji squinted at Wei Guanghui, in fact, everyone was very annoyed by this old immortal official fan.

"I used to think that letting Li Xiao guard Liaodong was the most important thing, but now it seems. Li Xiao's ability to operate is the most important thing, since last year. Liaodong's military use was reduced by seventy, and a large amount of silver money was saved in the imperial court. Without Li Xiao, Liaodong still has to raise so many soldiers.

It's nothing to raise soldiers, but this money is from you? Or what's the matter? Anyway, our household department will definitely not be able to come up with so much money. "It's Ni Wenhuan who speaks, and this guy is now working as a waiter in the household department. Where the ass sits, it is natural to speak for where. It's called the ass deciding the head!

"That's it! How much money did Li Xiao save in Liaodong, and he got rid of Li Xiao, and the Ministry of Industry was the first to refuse. Li Kuilong is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he has made a lot of money in the past six months. Most of this money is the military expenditure saved by Liaodong, and the military expenditure of Liaodong has gone up. The imperial court is tight, and no new projects will be built, whose kickbacks will Lao Tzu take?

"Li Xiao is a good person, he knows how to abide by the rules. Now that there aren't many people who know how to follow the rules, I think it's pretty good. "Thanks to Li Xiao, Wei Liangqing has just been sealed, so he naturally wants to speak for Li Xiao at this time.

Wei Guanghui looked at all this in surprise, but he didn't expect that unconsciously, he had become an outlier in the eunuch party.

When heterogeneity is dangerous because it means alienation. If you are estranged from the members of the eunuch party, you will be estranged from Wei Zhongxian over time. This time is estimated to take no more than three months.

Don't look at yourself as a cabinet elder now, the first assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty. If Wei Zhongxian is really dissatisfied, the only way waiting for him is to be laid off.

When he looked at Wei Zhongxian, he found that Wei Zhongxian's eyes were also cold when he looked at him. Wei Guanghui's heart suddenly cooled half, and he sat there like a pins and needles. Now, he regretted receiving Qian Qianyi's silver.

Li Xiao is an iron plate, don't play it again in the future.

"Liangqing is right, Li Xiao still abides by the rules. In the future, there is no need to talk about it. It is not easy for him to do business to feed the Liao soldiers, and you should not stand idly by when you encounter difficulties in the future. Everyone didn't speak, and Wei Zhongxian made a final speech. He knew better than anyone else that Li Xiao was making a lot of money in the capital. In fact, they are making money for everyone, and they have their shares in this transaction.

Of course, in Wei Zhongxian's heart, the most satisfying thing is that Li Xiao built a house outside Xibianmen and gave him a percent of the dry shares.

Wang Tiqian didn't speak from beginning to end, and there were also his cadres outside the Xibian Gate.

When Wei Guanghui returned home, he lost his soul and sat in the study and sighed. In this life, I have been conscientious and conscientious, and I finally got through to the first assistant. Seeing that Wei Zhongxian's attitude has changed greatly, Wei Guanghui also knows that he is not far from bad luck.

Li Xiao, this kid is not simple, he has been in the court for a lifetime, and he is not as good as this kid for two years. Wei Guanghui has never been so lost in his life.

"Master, Mr. Qian is here." The steward saw that Wei Guanghui was a little unhappy, and he had the courage to come to report. It's not that he's not afraid that Lord Shoufu will be angry, it's really Qian Qianyi's red envelope that is heavy enough.

"Nope!" Wei Guanghui roared irritably.

The old man was not happy, and the steward turned around and left. Taking the risk of reporting it yourself, it is already worthy of the money, and there is no need to put yourself in it.

"Come back and invite Mr. Qian to the study." Just when the steward opened the door, Wei Guanghui changed his mind again.

The steward answered the promise and ran out happily. This trip is done, and there will definitely be a big red envelope. The rich man from the south of the Yangtze River is called a generous man.

"See your Excellency."

"Mr. Qian is here, sit, watch tea!" Wei Guanghui's face lost his previous smile and became a mechanical entertainment.

This obvious change shocked Qian Qianyi.

This time when he entered Beijing, his main purpose was to bring down Li Xiao. An important income for the Qian family is selling cane sugar, and now that damn Li Xiao doesn't know where to get so much sucrose. And the price is only eighty percent of itself, and the capital market, which is the most important for the Qian family's sugar industry, was almost seized by Li Xiao.

What is even more infuriating is that last year, Li Xiao wantonly bought rice in Jiangnan. As a result, the price of rice in Jiangnan skyrocketed, and all Jiangnan rice merchants were hoarding rice. hopes to make a lot of money for him this year, but this year Li Xiao has not bought a grain of rice. directly led to the sharp drop in the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River, which made those rice merchants who hoarded Juqi lose their hands and feet.

Not only that, Li Xiao is also dumping glassware in Jiangnan. There are also daily necessities such as soap and matches. This has had a huge impact on those workshops in Jiangnan. Many small workshops, because the scale is too small, the production cost remains high. In the end, I had to go bankrupt!

Although the big merchants can stand it, this kind of blunt knife cutting meat also makes them feel distressed.

The most direct fuse was Li Xiao's bulldozing of Baiyun Temple.

As the leader of the Daomen in the world, the Longhushan Zhengyi Sect was angry, relying on the power of the Daomen, they invited the Jiangnan chaebol to finally recommend the Jiangnan celebrity Qian Qianyi to come to the capital to carry out activities, as long as Li Xiao was defeated, it would be no problem.

When he arrived in the capital, Qian Qianyi understood that it was almost impossible to bring down Li Xiao's business through commercial channels.

Not to mention anything else, from the perspective of freight alone, Jiangnan's goods have unparalleled disadvantages. Goods from the south of the Yangtze River to and from the capital usually have to go through the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal is convenient and fast, but unfortunately only by boat. Where it is like Li Xiao, it is a huge sea ship. That kind of huge sea ship can carry more than ten times the cargo of a small boat in the south of the Yangtze River.

Tianjin Wei docked, and the official road to the capital was built flat and straight. There is also an inland wharf, which can be docked directly in Tongzhou.

Since there is no competition in business, Qian Qianyi is ready to play something evil. He found Hong Qi, the leader of the beggar gang, and the result was that the beggar gang and Li Xiao were both defeated. Hong Qi, who found the field, didn't seem to plan to wade into this troubled water again. Hiding in Tibet all day, Qian Qianyi invited several times, but refused to meet on the grounds of safety.

Fortunately, Qian Qianyi had already prepared another line, that is, Wei Guanghui. After all, this is also the head of the cabinet, so it's not difficult to find a way to rectify a general soldier. But seeing Wei Guanghui's appearance today, Qian Qianyi knew that this matter would not work.

Who is this Li Xiao, and why is he so powerful. It's reached the point where it can't be defeated!

Facing Li Xiao, whose strength was unfathomable, Qian Qianyi finally felt that this trip was not a good errand.

"Adults, students......!"

"There is no need to talk about Li Xiao's affairs anymore, you can't fight this person. Let it go! Wei Guanghui felt that his two words of advice were worthy of the silver sent by Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi was dumbfounded, and he couldn't fight anymore, and said that the money that had been spent was neat. After walking to the capital, the money was not spent, and things were done in a mess. How can I explain this time, where to put the Qian family's face.

The question of money is a trivial matter, and face is the most important thing. The dignified old man, with a group of wealthy and powerful Jiangnan chaebols standing behind him, can't fight a general army in Liaodong?

"My lord, this son of Li Xiao recruited troops privately and gathered in the wild places outside Liaodong Pass with bad intentions. Sooner or later, he will be the scourge of our Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, for the billions of trillions of Li people, and please get rid of this fang. For my Daming, except for this trouble. ”

"Money...... Mr! Wei Guanghui almost blurted out Qian Qianyi's name.

It's a bit too shameless to say this just now, without Li Xiao, who will resist Nurhachi's Houjin Eight Banners? also has bad intentions, a total of only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Can you overthrow the Ming Dynasty? Although the Ming Dynasty is now weakened, there are still millions of soldiers in the country. Saying that the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown by more than 20,000 people, isn't this nonsense with open eyes?

If it weren't for Qian's face, Wei Guanghui really wanted to point at Qian Qianyi's nose and scold.

"Old decay is old, these things are old and decay can't be managed. In the future, when you dispute with Li Xiao, the old man will not stretch out his hand. I hope Mr. Qian will do it for himself and tell you again. Li Xiao, you can't fight, go back to Jiangnan as soon as possible. Wei Guanghui didn't wait for Qian Qianyi to speak, and immediately picked up the teacup.

"Serve tea and send it off!" The steward shouted, Qian Qianyi had no choice but to resign.

Li Xiao stayed in the warehouse of Tongzhou Cheap Place, and this year the Cheap Square built three more three-story small buildings. The scale of the warehouse has been further expanded, and the goods transported from Tianjin Wei every day are hoarded here. Every day, there are horse-drawn wagons to deliver these goods to various outlets in the capital. It can be said that the cheap shop has controlled more than 40% of the retail industry in this Ming capital. The daily turnover is a large amount, and the bookkeeper has to take his men to check until midnight.

Although he was unwilling, Li Xiao couldn't move. Because he was collectively grounded by his own men!

Ai Husheng's incident made everyone more vigilant. Li Xiao's personal protection has been raised to a higher level. There are a few roast chicken brothers, and they hang around Li Xiao all day long. As long as there are trees nearby, either the trees will be cut down or Li Xiao will not be able to pass.

In order to be green and environmentally friendly, and not to cause trouble to others, Li Xiao can only stay in the house and not go out. Another reason is that it's so hot. The July day in the capital is like a fire, although this is not what the July fire means. But Li Xiao really felt that there was fire flowing in the sky. Especially in the evening, the red glow in the sky is called a red.

At this time, the edge of the Tongzhou wharf is full of shirtless rough men blowing nonsense!

These guys are in the capital and are collectively referred to as the Lords. No way, at this time, the room is as hot as a steamer, and it can't stay at all. Li Xiao didn't understand, and chose such a place for Mao to put the capital.

Thinking of Nanjing, which can heat people to death, Li Xiao suddenly understood again. Because Nanjing is fucking hotter than Beijing!

As long as he doesn't go out, Li Xiao will definitely not face the scorching heat. There were two pots of crushed ice in the room, and two guys kept fanning the ice fan with their fans. Staying in a cool room, the superiority of the small feudal lord is vividly reflected.

Old Chen Fu walked in, this guy is the supervisor of Li Xiao's grounding. In the case that Li Xiao's safety could not be guaranteed, he did not even let Li Xiao go out of this building.

"Here you go, this is what you asked the fisherman to make. Sent directly from Shanhaiguan today! Chen Fu waved his hand, holding the hooves of a large box behind him, and put the box on the table.

"So fast?" Li Xiao didn't expect that the old fisher would get this thing done in just ten days.

Ask the hooves to get a crowbar and open the nailed pine chest. It is filled with sawfoam, and carefully remove it with your hands. Slowly revealing a box inside!

When the people on the left and right saw the box, they all gasped.

The one-foot-square golden box scatters dazzling light in the reflection of the setting sun. At the top of the box is a golden dragon, and in the middle of the golden dragon is a keyhole. This box was placed on the table, and even the roast chicken, which had never been interested in gold and silver, couldn't help but look at it twice.

"What's in there?" Rao is Chen Fu is well-informed, and it is the first time he has seen such a beautiful box. If nothing else, just this box made of pure gold, this thing is already a treasure. What's going to be in this box?

"Secret!" Li Xiao showed a sly smile, and that smile was like a fox that had just eaten a fat chicken.
