Chapter 53: Jiang Li's thoughts
After the three major dramas were finished, Ren Fa then arranged a sumptuous dinner and invited Mayor Xu to accompany him, which can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.
After listening to the song and drinking, Ren Fa and Ji Ping's business was naturally completed. After the dinner, Mayor Xu invited Ji Ping to take a walk in Ren's garden.
"Patriarch Ji, have you heard about the request of several countries in Europa to open up the trade of the provincial capitals?" Mayor Xu asked.
Ji Ping wondered in his heart, didn't the provincial port open in the Jinling Treaty sixty or seventy years ago? Could he be mistaken?
"It seems you don't know yet." Mayor Xu sighed and said, "Some time ago, Yingli hit the capital on the grounds that Lord Xu sold cigarettes back then, and it is said that the imperial court was forced to open several major cities as ports, including our Yangcheng. ”
After hearing this, Ji Ping realized that it seemed that the timeline of the main world was not exactly the same as that of Blue Star.
"Mayor Xu, if I say something disrespectful, who is the person in charge of the court now?" Ji Ping doesn't seem to have heard anyone talk about this topic all along.
Mayor Xu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that with Ji Ping's knowledge, he didn't even know this.
"On the surface, it is still Your Majesty, and the real power has fallen into the hands of the Governor of Zhili." Mayor Xu whispered, "In recent years, the imperial court has lost power and humiliated the country, and the governor has not taken care of the people for the sake of power, so that the world is in chaos. Europa and the East Demon have a chance to take advantage of the situation. ”
Ji Ping knew that this place was still an imperial system. Although the empire is still beaten all over the ground, it is not rotten to the extent that Blue Star was more than a hundred years ago.
"We've been restless all the time, and I think we can't get rid of those English Eastern Demon people." Mayor Xu shook his head and said, "Now they can swagger in and out, but I'm afraid that the situation will be more turbulent in the future." ”
Mayor Xu seemed to be well-informed, and Ji Ping remembered the pound he had gotten a few days ago.
"Mayor Xu, do you know the foreign company Taipan or anyone who is familiar with Europa?" In this era, the managers were called Taipan, because of the poverty of the country, this group of foreign bank Taipan was very powerful, and in some ways could almost be regarded as a liaison between countries.
Mayor Xu smiled: "I know but I know." Patriarch Ji, your family has a lot of money, but you still have to borrow money? ”
Ji Ping took out a stack of pounds from his arms and said, "That's not necessary. That's right, Mayor Xu also knows that I have some connections overseas, and I have recently got some Western money, and I want to find a foreign company to help me release it. ”
Mayor Xu suddenly realized that Ji Ping's fertilizers, pesticides and even steel were famous in Ping'an Town, and Ren Fa held a banquet today to obtain agency rights. Although I don't know where Ji Ping came from, I can't get rid of Europa if I think about it.
"What foreign banks lack is customers like you, and now the maritime trade merchants are very short of money, that is, the interest rate is lower." Mayor Xu said, "The monthly interest rate on deposits is only 2%. ”
The monthly interest rate is 2%, and the annual interest rate is 2.4%, which is not high.
However, what he wants is not interest, as long as he can circulate the pounds in society a few times. This kind of money must be used for overseas trade, which will not cause harm to the common people and will not cause inflation.
Ji Ping nodded and said, "Mayor Xu, if I have time, I want to ask your friend to meet, hundreds of thousands of pounds, I think he should give this face." ”
Mayor Xu secretly spoke, Patriarch Ji didn't know how much money he had made outside, no wonder Ren Fa would rather send his daughter to stammer. It is hundreds of thousands of pounds and millions of oceans at hand, and few people in the provincial capital can come up with so much money.
Mayor Xu immediately agreed and said that he would help Ji Ping do it as soon as possible.
Of course, he also has a lot of benefits, anyway, most of Ji Ping's money will stay in Ping'an Town.
The two chatted for a while, mainly about the regimental training of Xiangyong. According to Mayor Xu's guess, there will inevitably be a lot of internal and external contradictions in the future, and the iron still needs to be hard, and the training must not be delayed.
Seeing that it was not early, Ji Ping still had to go home, and Mayor Xu didn't say anything more, the coming day will be long.
On the carriage back to the village, Ji Ping found that there was almost no place for him.
Ji Xiaotu clinged to Ji Ping, secretly glanced at Jiang Li, and whispered: "Young master, Madame bought a lot of things in the afternoon, spent a lot of money, and there were nearly 100 yuan of ocean, and she almost bought half of the street." ”
Ji Ping glanced at the large and small paper bags and absolutely believed Ji Xiaotu's whistleblowing.
"Did you buy it then?" Ji Ping said with a smile.
The little rabbit seemed a little embarrassed, and laughed: "I bought a few clothes, but, young master, she spent your money!" Grandma Ji Duan said that women can't get used to it, otherwise they will become losers and make the family unhappy. ”
"The young master has money, just let her spend it, you girl, don't chew the root of your tongue." Ji Ping knocked on the rabbit's head and said with a smile, "Moreover, your young grandmother is a master, and she can hear the conversation between the two of us." ”
Little Rabbit's face changed slightly, why did he forget this stubble just now, hurriedly left Ji Ping's side, and went to Jiang Li's side to help her rub her shoulders that had been tired for a long time......
After a day of running around, Ji Ping was also a little tired, and when he got home, he lay down on the bed, ready to rest. Who knew that Jiang Li's spirit was extremely strong, wearing a thin transparent gauze robe, and took the initiative to stick to Ji Ping's body.
Today's Jiang Li is wanton and wild, and his state is completely different from that when he cultivates on weekdays, even Xiao Yu, who was waiting outside the door, felt this obvious change, and his face was red with shame.
Ji Ping was very satisfied, this kind of cultivation was not for the purpose of completing the task, he had experienced it for the first time from Jiang Li's body, which made him a little addicted for a while.
Hot and cold, sweet and sour, eat as much as you want, Ji Ping feels that this ever-changing daughter-in-law is really worth marrying.
It's just that the physical exertion is a little great, and after a while, Ji Ping fell asleep.
Jiang Li's face still had a red glow on it, dragging her cheeks, looking at Ji Ping who was asleep, and her mind was tactful.
"Maybe I was wrong before, it seems to be better to come naturally......" Immediately, her expression was slightly expectant, "Ji Ping is a very protective person, as long as I treat him sincerely, he should protect me......"
Jiang Li thought about it for an hour or two, his face changed, and he didn't know what was on his mind.
When he got up the next day, Ji Ping saw Jiang Li sleeping sweetly, and was slightly stunned, this kind of little daughter's posture was the first time he had seen it, Jiang Li used to look like a delicate work of art even in his sleep, which made it difficult for people to get close.
Ji Ping carefully got up from the foot of the bed and put on his clothes.
When I went out, it was not early, and Xiaoyu was waiting for him with a burden.
"Master, this is a deposit from the Ren family, and they hope that you can get the first batch of goods soon." Xiao Yu handed the burden to Ji Ping and relayed.
There is not only gold in the baggage, but also a list written by Master Ren himself.
chemical fertilizer, three pieces of ocean 100 catties; seeds, two oceans per acre; pesticides in the ocean; Carbon steel can give a ton of a thousand oceans.
This price was negotiated by Ji Ping and Ren Fa yesterday, and it is about several times the profit, even if he doesn't pay in gold, he can make a lot of money. What's more, the long stream of water is not a one-shot deal.
At the same time, Ji Ping has the right to supervise the whereabouts of these goods, and must not let them flow out of the Central Plains, especially carbon steel. Of course, if you want to completely prevent it, you can only try to do it.
The weapons built by Ji Xiao were also sold to various villages one after another, and a lot of antiques and wood were collected. The fifteen thousand oceans of Maoshan are also in place, and Ji Ping is ready to find a time to dispose of them all.
As for these days, he did not enter the dungeon again. The appearance of the Earth Spirit Bead had caused a great change in heaven and earth, and he needed time to observe the impact of this change, so as not to have an unpredictable situation.
"You're awake, come out with me." After a while, Ji Ping saw Jiang Li come out and said with a smile, "Go and see Uncle Jiu's grave." ”
"What's so nice about moving graves?" Jiang Li was puzzled, "I'll help you go and see the cultivation of Ergou, and you can go to General Mountain by yourself." ”
"I always feel that something is wrong, there may be a big problem with this grave move, so I feel more relieved to have you by my side." Ji Ping said, but he didn't explain it too clearly, after all, Jiang Li hadn't seen the movie.
Jiang Li was a little suspicious, looked at Ji Ping and said, "You don't want to see that little vixen, do you?" ”
"Then what am I taking you for?" Ji Ping didn't have a good breath and said, "Let's go, you will know if my hunch is right at night." ”
Jiang Li's sword was broken, and there was no refiner here to help her repair it. In order to supplement, Ji Ping taught her the innate five elements technique.
Jiang Li's talent is excellent, and with Ji Ping's help, his strength has also reached the peak of Qi training, if he has Ji Ping's blessing, it will be more than enough for the demons below the flying stiffness.
Uncle Nine and Qianhe are also outsiders no matter what, and at the critical moment, what Ji Ping can count on is his own people.
Seeing what Ji Ping said, Jiang Li nodded, went back to the room and changed into a set of strong clothes, which was more conducive to fighting.
The first time Ji Ping saw Jiang Li wearing this kind of clothes, it was somewhat similar to Lan Xing's tight leather pants. With Jiang Li's figure, it is definitely not possible to wear this kind of clothes, it is too easy to attract firepower in battle.
"Ahem, let's wear ordinary clothes, this is not good." Ji Ping shook his head and pushed Jiang Li into the room, "Little rabbit, help Madame change her clothes!" ”
Jiang Li was very smart, and after changing back into the palace clothes, he glanced at Ji Ping with a smile, obviously guessing his thoughts.
The two went to Ren's house by carriage, and when they arrived, they learned that Master Ren and Miss Ren had gone to Jiangjun Mountain early in the morning.
