If you want to say comfortable, it's still in the capital.

Li Bangyan is actually quite satisfied with his life in the capital, and the reason why he thinks that he has been forgotten by Li Kui is because he has not received his monthly salary for a long time.

Although his family is a craftsman, he is a craftsman who makes jewelry, and his income is good, which can afford his general education. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a child of a wealthy family, and when he was in Hedong, he was not short of money in his hands. There is also a silversmith's skill, coupled with dexterity, even if you have no money, you can rely on your craft to eat. But after coming to the capital, it was different, the cost of the capital was too big, and he liked to make friends, so he didn't look down on him in general, so he had to be too a student. And his family's ancestral craftsmanship was completely abandoned by him, not because he disliked his family identity, but because he was afraid that the students who called him brothers and sisters on weekdays would go to their house to give their sister wedding jewelry, how embarrassing is this?

Moreover, the level of craftsmen in Kaifeng Prefecture is high. The craftsmanship that he can mix in Hedong may not be bought in Kaifeng Mansion.

simply, as Li Kui's staff, he befriended the prince.

The Taixue scholar saw that he was in the name of a Shao Shengke Li Tanhua staff, and he didn't dislike him too much. When there is a banquet, there are also three or five people invited.

You can eat people with soft mouths and short hands.

He can't eat and drink all day long in front of a bunch of students who are above the top, right?

Not only can't he do this, but he also has to be bold. But there was no money in his pocket, so how could he be bold. After living in the capital for a few months, the savings in his hands were exhausted, but he did not pay the money for a long time, but he was saddened to death. This is also the reason why he thinks he has been forgotten by Li Kui.

The saddest thing about people is not bad luck, but being forgotten by the owner. Li Bangyan thought of this possibility, and hurriedly burned everything.

Only he has no worries about food and clothing, Li Kui's family's food is too good, he eats less, and he is still buried. Suddenly, there are big fish and big meat, it doesn't look like Li Kui is a book history at all, but it makes him feel like the old Li family is raising dead soldiers. If it weren't for the Li family eating like this, he would have been worried about his life a long time ago.

However, although the Li family took care of his food and housing, the monthly salary was not paid for a long time.

Two days ago, he couldn't help it, so he went to Li Qing to ask about Yueyu.

The children of the family must have a monthly salary every month. Either it is sent at the beginning of the month, or it is divided into two times at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month, which is not much worse than the next one. Looking at the momentum and temper, Li Qing is completely a child of a family, and he is still the kind of child who has learned badly. But when he asked about the moon, Li Qingle touched his head and said: "There is money everywhere in the capital, what do you want, the gentlemen have told the third uncle since they entered Beijing, and they don't want to pay for the moon in the capital in the future." ”

Li Qing is a warm-hearted person, shouting in the courtyard for a while, hula ran out a few clan brothers, Li Qing looked at his nearest kid obliquely, and asked, "Thirteen, what day is it today." ”

"Today? It's not the first day of the new year, it's not the fifteenth, but it's not a festival, and it's still early for the New Year? ”

Li Qing glared at him viciously and said to his younger half-eldest son: "Brother thinks that he can celebrate the festival today, so he went to get the imperial calendar and found a reason." ”

"Weddings and funerals, moving ......"

"Why didn't you say you got rich?"

The more Li Bangyan listened, the more scared he became, he always felt that something was going to happen. Besides, there may be a comment on the imperial calendar that it is appropriate to make a fortune.

Then the old Li family went out more than 30 people, one person followed Li Qing with a basket, and Li Qing greeted him as he walked: "Aunt Seven, has anyone come to make trouble?" ”

Although Aunt Qi said that she was a woman, she dared to cross her waist and said arrogantly: "Brother Qing'er again, who dares to make trouble!" After speaking, he found a few hangs of money under the gray stall, and stammered: "Brother Qing'er, don't be too little." ”

Li Qing didn't dislike it, and said with a smile: "How much is it." ”

I had only walked half the street, and most of the baskets were full of copper coins.

Li Bangyan finally understood why Li Qing said that the capital was full of money, and with their collection method, where did they still need monthly salaries. And he followed Li Qing and invisibly became an accomplice. That's a bad deed! Li Qing didn't care about a few people, looking at their appearance, it was impossible for them to blend in with the ranks of scholars.

But Li Bangyan can't do it!

He came here to make a name for himself, and in a daze, he was actually pulled into Xiaoyue Building by Li Qing, which is a restaurant that is still a little famous near Baokangmen. The shopkeeper was lazily lying behind the counter, and when he heard Li Qing's babbling shouting, he immediately became energetic, hurriedly greeted him, and put a piece of silver in Li Qing's hand. Li Qing grinned a little dissatisfied, and the shopkeeper smiled helplessly: "Brother Qing'er, there is no preparation today, only this ingot of silver, when you come in the second half of the month, you will definitely make up for it." ”

"Okay!"

Li Qing not only took the money, but also took people upstairs to eat and drink a good meal of wine and food, pulled Li Bangyan to the window, pointed to the area around the Baokang Gate and said: "This piece, that piece, and there are all business for you." If you're short of money, you can take it! By the way, after noon, the gang of the boat gang can't open their eyes, and the master is going to teach them a lesson, and the Li brothers will go together and take their lair to them. ”

Goo-dong.

Li Bangyan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked at the scenery outside the window with straight eyes, and came back to his senses for a long time, turned his head to Li Qing and asked, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that Lord Li will get angry when he finds out?" ”

"My second brother, even robbing us, how can he have the face to care about us?"

Li Qing said this geography straightforwardly. But Li Bangyan was terrified when he heard it, he had entered a den of thieves!

In despair, he trembled and said goodbye to Li Qing: "It's inconvenient to ...... lower body."

"Forget it, you go back first, if you are short of money in the future, any merchant in the Baokangmen area can go and get the money, report my name Li Qing, so that you can make it."

Li Qing patted his chest and took it all over. It wasn't until Li Bangyan stumbled away on the street that the clansmen behind him came behind Li Qing and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qing'er, is it okay to lie to him like this?" ”

"How did I deceive him, the goods of the shop vendors around the Baokang Gate are only allowed to enter the city through our ship, and I only brought him to collect the money, not to deliver the goods. With his small body, how could he go to deliver goods? Besides, was I wrong? Every sentence is true, I didn't lie to him, it was he who would be wrong. ”

Li Qing's tone of voice was like Li Qing being bullied by Li Kui when he was next, and Li Kui would tell him: When you grow up, you will be able to bully others.

Of course, he still had to be bullied by Li Kui.

As for the fact that Li Qing and the gangsters near Baokang Gate started to collect money and do gangster business after they ran away, it definitely won't work. According to their method, the surrounding merchants will definitely sue the official. Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Qing and the others don't have the courage to do this businessless business in Kaifeng Mansion.

Li Qing: What they do is delivery, which is the most competitive industry in Beijing. It's not enough to be alone, you have to be hard enough with your fists. As for Li Bangyan's misunderstanding, let him misunderstand. Anyway, they just took him out for a walk.

"Okay, anyway, they don't like him as a person, it's too pretentious, and he goes to Taixue all day long, if the second brother doesn't recommend him, see how he ends."

The Li family doesn't like Li Bangyan, don't look at the usual enthusiasm, and persuade him to eat more when eating. Li Qing likes to see the joy of Li Bangyan, who looks like a scholar, rolling his eyes after eating.

It's like a scumbag who always likes to watch a student bully walk down the street and be unlucky.

They don't want the old Li family to be a scholar all day long, knowing that Li Qing is not very good at reading, isn't this a diaphragm?

This is why Li Bangyan visited Hao Fu, and he seemed to understand Li Kui's eyes when he asked him to go to the capital. In the past, Li Kui was short of people around him, so he needed a tool man to help him handle official business. Now, the tool race is very good. Not only does he have rich experience in handling official business, but he is also an official, so he doesn't need Li Kui to worry about it at all. He accepted Li Bangyan just to save trouble, and now Li Kui has nothing to worry about in the yamen, whether there is Li Bangyan or not, it doesn't matter to him anymore.

I heard that Hao Sui came to the capital.

Li Bangyan couldn't wait to come, on the one hand, he hesitated to sue, and wrote a letter to Li Kui to tell Li Kui about the illegal affairs of Li Qing and others. At the same time, he is also worried that in this way, he will become a villain who tells right and wrong.

On the other hand, he was really in a hurry.

He is still waiting for Li Kui's recommendation to go to Taixue to mix qualifications.

If Li Kui doesn't recommend him, he can only go to Hedong to find a way. But although his family doesn't worry much about food and clothing, the official's door is beyond the reach of anything. Without an official recommendation, he didn't even have the qualifications to take the entrance exam for Taixue, how could he enter Taixue to study?

Hao Sui hid his hands in his sleeves, rubbed them, and calculated, Li Bangyan is Li Kui's person, does it matter if he uses it himself?

thought that if Li Kui paid attention to it, he would not have sent him to the capital. Besides, he first arranged Li Bangyan in the hot oil business, after all, the firm still has Li Kui's elements: "Zimei, I have a new kind of oil and oil lamp here, what do you think can be done to let the people of the capital know?" ”

Li Bangyan was afraid that Hao Sui would send him away silently, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't go back, he rolled his eyes, and he didn't have a clue after thinking for a long time. His family is a craftsman, and he has a business, but it is very small. He didn't understand how big a business should be for the people of the capital to know, but it didn't prevent him from pondering in this direction.

Is it okay to don't want money?

It should be ok.

If someone uses it, they will naturally follow suit.

But ordinary people use it, and it's not of much use. What if it's a reader?

The oil lamp has to be lit at night, if the reader says it is good, who dares to say that it is not good in the world of the Great Song Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Li Bangyan immediately said with confidence: "Adult, the villain thinks that he should give someone a trial without money." ”

"Yes, that's what your lord means."

Hao Sui nodded with satisfaction, he completely forgot that he had tried to persuade Li Kui to give up his plan to give it away. After all, a eunuch who often accepts men from his brothers gives people a very strange feeling.

Hao Sui raised his hand and pointed to the food table on the side, there was no food on it, and said casually: "This is beautiful, how do you sell it first, how to make the people respect, and write it out." ”

Li Bangyan's hair on the back of his head is about to stand up, where has he ever had experience in business planning, besides, the businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty have no copywriting such as planning at all, and they do things completely by experience. Li Bangyan understands that if he writes, he will easily be seen by Hao Sui. I had to bite the bullet and say to Hao Sui: "I don't know how many oil lamps and fire oil my family is going to send out?" ”

"That's the number." Hao Sui raised a finger and said, "Ten thousand sets." ”

"Sets?"

"An oil lamp, and a pound of fire oil as a set." Hao Sui explained: "After that, the fire oil and oil lamps will be continuously sent from Yan'an Mansion, according to the estimation of your family, in the short term can meet the needs of the people of Kaifeng Mansion to light the lamp." ”

With this number, it seems that the entire Taixue students can have a share. Not every Taixue student is a rich person, and it seems that he can get a good favor with free oil lamps and fire oil.

It's just that he doesn't have much confidence in the oil lamp and fire oil that Hao casually said.

Soon, Hao Sui's slave brought the oil lamp over, and Hao Sui instructed the slave to light the lamp.

In Li Bangyan's impression, the lighting of oil lamps is always dim, orange, and erratic. But the oil lamp of the oil oil made him find that the impression in his mind was subverted, and it happened that it was already a little late, and he approached the oil lamp, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and the performance of the oil lamp was almost stronger than that of a candle.

Of course, the faint smell of burnt in the air is not heavy.

Li Bangyan was ecstatic, but he did not completely abandon the scholar's behavior, which was his biggest gain from mixing with the Tai students in the capital: "My lord, what is the normal price of this thing?" ”

"The lamp is about three hangings, and the price of oil is half lower than that of sesame oil."

Li Bangyan felt that he was looking for a sense of existence in front of Li Kui, and there was no hope for him. Even though Li Qing did foolish things all day long, Li Bangyan didn't think about changing his court. If this is the case, his reputation will be damaged, and it will not be in line with his righteous character; Second, in the capital, he found that Li Kui's face is quite useful, since Li Kui's face is good, obviously Li Kui's identity is not bad, if he changes his court, I'm afraid no one will dare to accept him.

"My lord, I'm going to be wanton, no, wanton five."

"Does Zimei have an idea?"

Li Bangyan was half-squatting, his eyes still refused to leave the flame of the oil lamp, there was novelty, and there was expectation: "My lord, this thing is comparable to a candle, but the candle is expensive and unusable, this thing is a blessing for the children of the poor family." Adults can know that the students are full of wantonness, plus doctors, professors and other officials, there are more than 400 people, if each person has an oil lamp, the world's scholars will be grateful for the care of adults. Besides, a lamp is not worth much, but there are thousands of people who are too learned, more than 100 Jinshi in each subject, half of the children of the poor family, and 50 scholars in each subject are grateful to the adults. ”

"Oh, really?"

It's just a lamp, how can it rise to the point of good fortune, Hao Sui doesn't dare to believe it. Let him send out thousands of lamps at a time, he can still afford it, but if he even has to pay for lamp oil for a few years. This really embarrassed him. He was reluctant to make such a large amount of money. Thinking of this, Hao Sui couldn't help but hesitate: "This is not a small amount of money. ”

Fire oil has many disadvantages, such as flavor, inedible, and if ignited, it can be used faster than sesame oil.

Only then did Li Bangyan realize the loophole he was thinking, so he simply didn't send the students in the middle and lower houses, so he sent them to the house. Tai credit is divided into three levels of students, upper, middle and lower three houses, the upper house will have important exams every year, five places a year, and the Jinshi is born. This is the biggest advantage that distinguishes Taixue from Tianxia Academy. But the competition is fierce, and it is more fierce than the test. Although the number of students is small, there are more than 500 people, which is not a small number. But these five hundred sacrifices, once there is a year of the imperial examination of the Gongyuan Academy, everyone will be killed. These people are already the elite among the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, and there will definitely be no mistake in encircling these talents.

Hao Sui thought about it, so he just paid the money himself, nodded and said, "I'll write a note, you can do it!" ”

"The young shopkeeper of Huitong Bank?"

As Li Kui's only book history, Li Bangyan naturally knew several cronies around Li Kui, and Qiu Xuanhuai was one of them. Don't look at the rise of the old Li family for only a few years, but the Qiu family is a father and son who worked for Li Kui, and began to follow at the beginning of their career, and they can't speak the same as others, and they are the real Li family's cronies.

In contrast, Li Bangyan belongs to the kind of person who is sent to the door and does not do things very dedicatedly. There is no way for him not to be trusted by Li Kui, and even if he is a staff member, Li Kui always has a better way than him to come up with ideas that he can come up with.

Wuzhang River Watergate Wharf.

After Qiu Xuanhuai saw Li Bangyan, he smiled and said, "Zimei, I heard that you were tricked by Young Master Qing?" ”

The people of Lao Li's family are a little bad, they have a big mouth, they can't save things, what happened in the city has only been a day, and they have already known about it outside the city.

Li Bangyan didn't know why he asked, "Brother Renzu, how do you say this?" ”
