"One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds!"

"One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds!"

……

Few people see all the processes of a flower from blooming to withering, but from Li Bingqian's body, some traces can be found. Of course, Li Bingqian is not a flower, but a person. But the traces of the withering and decay of life are almost the same in all things. It only took half a day for him to go from self-confidence, wealth, and pride to being beaten to the dust, and finally losing his soul.

Li Kui told him from noon that as long as he copied the 'last' secret letter, it was not until it was almost dark that Li Bingqian finished writing all the secret letters according to Li Kui's request.

It can be said that Li Kui used an illusory hope to pull everyone in the Western Xia royal family into the water.

Especially the people who were cheated didn't know the secret of being sold by the seventh prince Li Bingqian. However, as long as the Liang family believes it, it is enough.

In fact, it didn't work very well with lies, Li Bingqian also tried to resist, and several times in the middle, he forced Li Kui's pen in his hand to the ground, and shouted angrily: "This king doesn't write!" ”

But this kind of resistance is simply a cute dog cub in Li Kui's eyes, and when he is in a good mood, he will comfort Li Bingqian a few words. After all, it is not easy for the Seventh Prince, he betrayed so many relatives and friends, and it is understandable that he was tormented in his heart.

It's just that there are too few times when Li Kui's conscience is discovered, as long as Li Bingqian wants to pick a son, Li Kui immediately jumped up and pointed at Li Bingqian's nose, and gave Li Bingqian an all-round psychological blow in a tone that was higher, louder, and more confident than Li Bingqian: "Believe it or not, the men won't help you, not only that, but also send these evidences to the Liang family?" ”

"You don't want to die!"

"Before I die, I'll send you down! When you are dying, pull a prince on your back, what else is there to complain about? ”

Li Bingqian faced Li Kui, he was like a scholar who was full of economy but had no power to restrain the chicken, even if he had the talent of the world, he couldn't withstand Li Kui's big slap.

Perhaps, when he first started writing secret letters, Li Kui still needed to get used to Li Bingqian, so that he could take two steps towards the traitor's road of no return with peace of mind. After there was a high probability that three or four people would be dragged into the water by Li Bingqian's secret letter, Li Bingqian no longer had any ability to resist Li Kui. Li Kui was even able to point at Li Bingqian's seemingly righteous and righteous face and roar angrily: "You traitor! ”

He will also use facts to tell Li Bingqian that traitors all develop from inconsequential whistleblowers to the law of no return.

But Li Kui became a messenger of justice against traitors.

No matter what others think of Li Kui, Li Kui himself firmly believes that he is the embodiment of justice.

Li Bingqian was miserable, and when it was time to eat barbecue in the evening, he no longer had the kind of aristocratic bearing that he had yesterday. Even his back was hunched and his eye sockets were sunken, and he fell from a handsome magnate to the altar and became a waste man in his last years. Li Bingqian can also resist, but as he falls deeper and deeper, and in front of Li Kui, any armed resistance is futile and useless. What made him even more desperate was that Li Kui could imitate Li Bingqian's handwriting in a similar way compared to Li Bingqian's handwriting. Even if Li Bingqian committed suicide and sought death, Li Kui could imitate Li Bingqian's handwriting and inherit his unfinished business.

Not to mention, Li Kui's status as a jinshi did not embarrass him. I didn't learn anything else from Su Shi, but in terms of appreciation and techniques of calligraphy, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

It's like Gao Yu.

When Gao Yu was by Su Shi's side, he followed Su Shi to learn calligraphy, and he was able to copy all kinds of excellent calligraphy. He is especially good at Su Shi's handwriting, and most of Su Shi's unimportant letters are ghostwritten by Gao Yu.

Li Kui is not as good as Gao Yu, but Li Bingqian's handwriting is so distinctive that Li Kui is embarrassed to imitate it.

Li Bingqian finally believed that Li Kui was really from a Jinshi, otherwise he would never have such a talent in calligraphy.

Because the action was getting bigger and bigger, Li Kui also had to change his original plan, and he simply sent someone to bring Qiu Xuanhuai. As the son of the big shopkeeper of Huitong Bank, he was sent by his father to work beside the proprietor Li Kui, and he was in charge of all the businesses of the banker in the northwest. Needless to say, his ability is naturally needless to say, in the northwest for just over half a year, he has already opened up Jingzhao Mansion, Yongxing Military Road and other business routes.

In particular, he extended the trade routes to the territory of Western Xia.

Don't look at the inseparability between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, but there are a large number of Han people in the Western Xia, who control a large number of businesses in the Western Xia. At the same time, the tribal leaders in Western Xia also needed to rely on their own connections to buy the materials that the tribe urgently needed.

There is no hope for the court, and now the treasury of the Western Xia is almost empty, and the court of the Western Xia Kingdom is unable to use materials to win over the tribal leaders. can only turn a blind eye, and the tribe and the Great Song Dynasty will start trading.

Only war horses and other materials that are strictly ordered to be traded will be closely checked.

As for silk, tea, and other materials that could not be produced in Western Xia, but were in great demand in the country, the government of Western Xia would not check them at all. As long as the bribes are sufficient, the road will be unimpeded.

Li Bingqian prepared supplies for a year, less than three days after Qiu Xuanhuai entered Western Xia, when he left the customs, Qiu Xuanhuai brought five hundred people, and when he came back, not only the number of people increased several times, but also a huge convoy, even Li Kui, the proprietor behind him, was a little dumbfounded, it seemed that the ability of the people under his hands was too good, so that he felt nervous for the first time in his life.

"The proprietor, the silk and tea brought to Western Xia this time, especially the tea leaves, are hard currency. Unfortunately, time does not allow, so I can only sell it at a low price. However, due to the astonishing total number of goods, the Western Xia side could not afford to pay, so the villain dared to ask the merchants on the Western Xia side to allow credit and use fur and other Western Xia specialties to offset the payment. There are also many merchants who are not rich in funds, and the villain allows them to bring goods to the Great Song Dynasty to sell. ”

"There are 1,600 carts of goods entering the customs this time, of which 800 carts belong to our firm, and the rest are goods of cooperative merchants. The profit is because the goods are not taken off, and it can be estimated at 50,000 taels. ”

"Proprietor, this is the ledger, please check!"

……

The delay of half a month made Li Bingqian sway back and forth between rushing and reining in from the precipice, and the whole person became a little nervous. I heard that Li Kui's subordinates gave him enough goods that he could earn more than 300,000 yuan, and only earned 50,000 taels back. The price of silver has always been strong, and now it takes luck to exchange two taels of silver for one tael. If it is 50,000 taels of silver, it is only 100,000 yuan. This made him a little disdainful of Li Kui, his stubborn opponent. This transaction is obviously a loss!

Li Kui is also not good at it. Moreover, Li Bingqian felt that Li Kui's subordinates had the intention of deceiving him.

Cross-border trade, using copper coins to settle, is naturally very inconvenient.

In contrast, the benefits of gold and silver are highlighted.

Li Kui really took the account book and checked it carefully, there were a lot of receivables in the account book, but Qiu Xuanhuai converted these payments into goods in order to reduce unnecessary risks.

Grain, furs, ironware, salt and other goods are dazzling, Li Kui can't calculate them one by one, but after picking out one of them, he nodded with satisfaction: "Xuanhuai, you are more spiritual than your father!" ”

Speaking of which, since Li Kui used the loan accounting method to convince Qiu Mingren in Yingzhou, Qiu Mingren can be regarded as Li Kui's disciple in the accounting method, and Qiu Xuanhuai is already a disciple of the grandchildren.

"It's all the proprietors who teach well."

"Alright, you go down and rest!"

"Wait!"

Li Bingqian wilted for more than ten days, and was hit by Li Kui to the point that his body was incomplete, and he finally found a time to restore his self-confidence, where would he let go of such a good opportunity? If he continues to be hit by Li Kui and is said to cooperate, he is not even qualified to be Li Kui's subordinate, and can only become a toy and puppet in Li Kui's hands.

How can this be willing for an arrogant royal family like Li Bingqian?

Li Bingqian felt that his opportunity had come, he puffed up his chest and said to Li Kui calmly: "Li Kui, there is a problem with this account book, as long as you return the letter you forced me to write, I can help you solve this trouble." After speaking, he looked at Qiu Xuanhuai with unkind eyes.

Although Qiu Xuanhuai is young, he has a very high starting point and has the steady temperament of a businessman at this age. In the face of Li Bingqian's questioning, he changed his previous steadyness, stood up abruptly and pointed at Li Bingqian and said angrily: "Who are you, don't spew blood!" ”

He also thought that Li Bingqian was Li Kui's new subordinate, and he thought it was a competition for favor between the stewards of the big family.

In fact, Qiu Xuanhuai is quite familiar with the people around Li Kui, although the relationship is average, this is because he is in charge of Li Kui's money bag, and he does not dare to get too close to the other people around Li Kui, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the proprietor. Fortunately, the people around Li Kui are all pure, Ruan Xiaoer won't talk about it, this guy is only interested in martial arts.

The newcomer Li Bangyan is a wonderful person who is interested in playing.

Suddenly, an unknown face appeared, and Qiu Xuanhuai became worried about the situation of himself and his father.

Now with Li Kui and the Taishi Mansion as a backer, Huitong Money and Merchant can expand in this way. Once Li Kui's trust is lost, there will be no place for their father and son to stand in the Great Song Shopping Mall, and what makes him even more angry is that their father and son are conscientious and conscientious, and they dare not slack off at all, let alone deceive Li Kui.

And Li Kui is also a generous person, and the dividend of 20% of the business name is the dividend given to his subordinates.

This is also a unique precedent in the Great Song Dynasty.

As a result, the business of Huitong Money is getting bigger and bigger, but the shopkeepers are becoming more and more loyal.

While speaking, Li Bingqian snatched the account book from Qiu Xuanhuai's hand, then opened it and shook it a few times, and said to Li Kui: "There is a problem with this account book!" ”

Li Kui looked at Li Bingqian curiously, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "I said the Seventh Prince, can you understand the account book?" ”

"I have also been a businessman in the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, so what's so difficult?" Li Bingqian opened the account book and looked at it, and after only looking at one page, he was dumbfounded, what the hell is this, although Li Bingqian is said to be the prince of Western Xia, but in order to avoid the Liang family, he has been disguised as a businessman in the Great Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, he is also a businessman with a lot of business experience, but when he sees the account books of Huitong Bank, he feels like a fake businessman.

Turning from the first page to the last, he didn't see a single eyebrow, and he couldn't even understand the symbols recorded in the ledger. Li Bingqian returned the account book to Qiu Xuanhuai, and said embarrassedly: "This account book is weird! ”

Of course, it is strange, the account book of Huitong Money Bank is the account book recorded by the credit and debit accounting method, there are sub-accounts, there are general ledgers, if you can't even distinguish the subjects, this account book is like a book from heaven, you can't read it. Moreover, for convenience, Li Kui also used Arabic numerals instead of the original accounting numbers.

Although the start was unfavorable, Li Bingqian was still not discouraged. Instead, he said in a loud voice: "Li Kui, you know, although my previous goods are not worth more than 100,000 guan in the Song Kingdom, once they are transported to Western Xia, they are worth no less than 500,000 guan. Even if you need to make a lot of points along the way, how can you make a profit of only 50,000 taels? ”

"Fifty thousand taels is already a lot!"

Li Kui didn't speak for his subordinates, but decided that Li Bingqian had misunderstood something.

Qiu Xuanhuai also said one after another: "Nowadays, the exchange of copper coins for silver and gold is getting lower and lower, and the reason why we can make so much profit is because Western Xia has accumulated an astonishing amount of goods that cannot be transported and sold. This time, the merchants and warehouses in Yinzhou, Hongzhou, and Longzhou were almost empty, and there were so many. ”

Qiu Xuanhuai paused, and finally seemed to think of something, and said to Li Bingqian: "The profit calculated in this number is generally calculated in gold. ”

"Gold?"

The corners of Li Bingqian's embarrassed mouth had a kind of despair that finally cheered up, but was beaten down again. Two tears blinked out of the corners of his eyes, looked at Li Kui and Qiu Xuanhuai, and held back a sentence for a long time: "You are too bullying." ”

It's really not bullying, if it's an ordinary business, where is it used for Qiu Xuanhuai?

If it's really a business of 50,000 yuan, just send a steward at will.

If it weren't for the trade route between Huitong Qianzhuang and Western Xia, Qiu Xuanhuai would not have taken such a risk. But Li Bingqian was miserable, moving his legs in despair, like a walking corpse, he couldn't figure out why he could only earn more than 300,000 yuan in business, and in Qiu Xuanhuai's hands, he could earn 1 million?

The master is also a prince, where is the difference?

Looking at the depressed prince of Western Xia, Qiu Xuanhuai asked Li Kui in a low voice: "The proprietor, is he really the uncle of the lord of Western Xia?" ”

"It's like a fake."

"But...... It doesn't seem normal. "Qiu Xuanhuai didn't deliberately speak ill of people behind his back because Li Bingqian had offended him. Rather, Li Bingqian gave people the feeling that this was indeed the case, that he would suddenly be hyper-mentally manic, and that he would be extremely vulnerable to blows and would collapse. It's a bit like a madman.

"He's been stimulated a lot lately, so it's good to slow down. Maybe when he enters Western Xia and returns to his homeland, his self-confidence will be restored. ”

Li Kui explained, and then ordered: "Leave all the gold brought from Xixia this time to me, you take the rest of the goods with you, and you give this letter to my third grandfather, and let him pass it on to Huang Liuye." ”

"It's the proprietor, but I left the gold in the territory of Western Xia, because it is inconvenient to go out of the customs, especially the proprietor who brought so much gold to Western Xia, I am afraid that there will be a mistake on the way. So I left the gold in Yongju, which is the token and address. After speaking, Qiu Xuanhuai handed over the token and address to Li Kui.

After sending off the caravan, Li Kui and Li Bingqian finally hit the road.

This has been delayed by half a month from the time when Li Bingqian expected to enter Western Xia.

They need to hurry up so they don't delay their plans.

In Fushi City, Su Zhe, who had been patrolling in the northwest for many days, finally returned to Yan'an Mansion.

But it was not Li Kui who greeted him, but Chong Jianzhong, who was embarrassed and gave Su Zhe the letter that Li Kui handed over to him, and even gave it to Su Zhe with the official seal.

Su Zhe was holding such a large bag of things, and he firmly believed that opening this package was definitely not a surprise, but a fright.

I finally comforted myself to be calm and calm, to be lenient and strict with myself...... But when he saw the letter, Su Zhe still panicked, the corners of his mouth grinned in an exaggerated arc, and he said bitterly: "This trick thing!" ”
