Chapter 83: A Few Moves
The next day, Zhou Tong, Zhao Chongyang, Lu Junyi, Wang Daping, Bai Xiaohe, Hu Jinfeng, Duan Sanniang, and others negotiated on the Lu family's joining the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and opening a winery, a perfume workshop, a paper-making workshop, and a restaurant in the Daimyo Mansion. But when he heard that the net profit of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in the north alone could reach two million, he was not only stunned by the generosity of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce.
Next, the specific details of the work will be arranged by Wang Daping and Fang Tianjie and his wife. Zhao Chongyang said that in the future, the specific work of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in the commerce and trade of the Daiming Mansion will be in charge of Duan Sanniang and Lu Junyi's wife Jia Mingzhu. Lu Junyi proposed that his housekeeper Li Gu had a good talent in business, so he could be specifically managed. Zhao Chongyang said that Li Gu could only be asked to assist in the work, and he could not be allowed to be the supervisor to manage a certain aspect alone.
Zhao Chongyang said: "Senior brother, do you believe in fortune telling? When I had nothing to do, I read some photo books, and my brother's fate was in conflict with the house slave, and his fortune may be restrained by the family slave. Among the senior brothers' family slaves, the people you believe in the most are Yan Qing and Li Gu. Although Yan Qing and her senior brother are master and servant, they are actually brothers. And I think Brother Yan is affectionate and righteous, it is impossible to betray his master and friends, and the house slave who is in conflict with you must be Li Gu. Of course, it is difficult to believe without any evidence based on facial appearances alone. For the sake of safety, let his sister-in-law and Sanniang's sister-in-law be in charge of business affairs, and Li Gu followed errands at most and did not let him be the supervisor. ”
Lu Junyi said: "Saying this is consistent with what my father's good friend said back then. My father also runs the rivers and lakes to tell fortunes to people. At that time, Li Gu was only twelve or thirteen years old, and I was only fifteen years old. That day, this uncle came to our house as a guest, and Li Gu came to make tea for him and his father, and I accompanied him. He said, I seem to have a double fate, around the age of thirty is a turning point, meeting a nobleman, becoming a prince, meeting a nemesis, and becoming a grass coward. When the time comes, one must guard against his own woman, and the other must guard against the villains around him. Later, when I sent the senior out of the house, the senior whispered to me that the little guy who had made him tea before, with triangular eyes and high cheekbones on his face, must be a vain, mean, and murderous person, and it would be best to find an excuse to send this person out of the door in the future......
When I was six years old, I met a teacher who thought I was a good material for martial arts, so he accepted me as an apprentice to pass on my kung fu. Before I was twelve years old, my master would come to my house every year for ten days and a half to test how well I practiced kung fu and to pass on some new things to me. When I was fifteen years old, my master said that I had achieved great kung fu and could basically be regarded as a first-class master. In the second half of the fifteenth year, my father probably said that after I was thirty years old, if I met a nobleman, I might become a prince, so he asked someone to find a relationship, and spent tens of thousands of dollars before and after, took the path of Tongguan, and sent me to serve in the Western Army. I worked hard there for eight years and made countless achievements, but I was taken by others. When I was twenty-three years old, my father died, and I took a long leave of absence to watch my father's funeral and returned home. At that time, the housekeeper of the family was already old, and when his father was there, he saw that Li Gusheng was clever and eloquent, so he asked him to assist the housekeeper in handling business and family affairs. The year I came back, my father-in-law's family urged me to get married, and if I didn't marry while I was filial, I would have to wait three years. At that time, the Jia family was already eighteen years old, and she would become an old girl in three years, so a few days after she came back, she married the Jia family.
In fact, two years ago, my father sent me a letter urging me to go home and get married, but I listened to my uncle's words, and I was a little afraid of marriage and women, so I shirked the war and couldn't get out.
A year after returning home, the old housekeeper died, and all affairs had to be temporarily handed over to Li Gu to take care of, and later saw that he managed better than the old housekeeper, so Jia Shi let him officially become a housekeeper. I heard you say the same thing today, and it seems that you still have to be careful about this butler. ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, since I know about this, I will have my own arrangements, and I don't think he can make any big waves. Listening to the meaning of the senior brother, the relationship with the sister-in-law is not very harmonious? It's not good! The senior brother is a hero of the world, and he is also a famous beautiful man in the north, who does not know the name of the jade unicorn. And Jia Mingzhu, Jia Mingzhu, a pearl in Hebei, looks better than Xi Shi and Wang Yan. You two are talented and beautiful, born as a pair, how can you snub her because of a word from a fortune teller. No wonder you both have been married for six years this year, you are both twenty-nine years old, and you have no children yet. Saying that you are a senior brother and the master is here, I shouldn't persuade you to say this. But I think it's because of the fortune teller's words that you have a psychological fear of marriage, which is a disease. As long as you think of the benefits of your sister-in-law and care more about her, as long as the relationship between the two is harmonious, your sister-in-law will not betray you. There is a saying that goes like this: 'Women are to be spoiled.' The more you spoil her, the closer she gets to you. At present, there is an opportunity to please her, it is said that her mother's family has only one younger brother, because of poor management, the family has fallen into the middle of the road, although she secretly helped him, but it is not a long-term plan in the end. In the name of your brother-in-law, let your brother-in-law discount his land to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and then give him more discounts, and give him 2,000 yuan at the end of the year. ”
At this time, Zhou Tong finally spoke: "You are known as the great hero of the Northland, and you can't even handle your own housework. When I go back, I will do what your junior brother said, at most two years, I will see my grandson, and then I will bring it and call me grandpa. "This Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, and Lin Chong are the generals that Zhou Tong focused on cultivating after middle age, because he has more and more premonitions that this country may have a catastrophe, and he hopes that they can contribute to the country and ensure the safety of one party. Now seeing that this disciple can't even handle the relationship between husband and wife, I can't help but blame him a few words.
When Lu Junyi saw the master speak, he quickly stood up and bowed down and replied, "Carefully follow the teachings of the master." ”
In fact, Zhao Chongyang also knew that what he said was a little inconsistent. The conversation with the senior brother started with fate, and on the issue of treating the housekeeper Li Gu, he asked the eldest brother to believe in the problem of appearance. And on the issue of treating his wife Jia, he asked him not to believe the fortune teller too much. Because only in this way will Lu Junyi's wife Jia Mingzhu not be disappointed in her husband, so that she will not be confused by Li Gu's rhetoric, and she will not betray Lu Junyi......
After making some arrangements for Lu Junyi's family, Zhao Gongzi Zhao Chongyang remembered the third senior brother Lin Chong who was far away in the capital. Lin Chong was ruined by Gao Yu's family in parallel time and space due to his character defects, and was later forced to go to Liangshan, and because Song Jiang was bent on defecting to the imperial court, Liangshan and Fang La's men and horses fought hard, and both were defeated, Lin Chong was finally angry to death, making an invincible general with unstoppable courage to end up with hatred.
In this time and space, Zhao Chongyang decided to arrange in advance to prevent the tragedy from happening again. On the one hand, he asked his master to write a letter to Lin Chong, asking him to resign from his official position and come to Yuejiazhuang, Tangyin County, to help the Wantong Chamber of Commerce train the Self-Defense Force, and then serve the country when the country needs a general. On the other hand, he knew that Wu Song was cautious in his work, so he was ready to send him in advance to take some special combat personnel into the capital Kaifeng Mansion to secretly protect Lin Chong.
A week later, Lu Junyi, Fang Tianjie and his wife, Wang Daping and others prepared supplies and went to the Daimyo's Mansion with a huge convoy of 300 people. Only Yan Qing stayed under Zhao Chongyang's prompting, on the one hand, he continued to practice martial arts with Zhou Tong, and on the other hand, he helped Qiu Wanquan, Pang Wanchun, and Shi Qian train the special training camp......
The next day, Wu Song and Xue Yong set off for Beijing with 100 wagons and 50 soldiers from the special operations battalion, as well as some technical personnel and 100 soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces. Zhao Chongyang told Wu Song that when he arrived in the capital, he first lived in the big inn called "Rugui" diagonally opposite Xiangguo Temple, handed over the letter in his hand to the owner of the inn, and then waited for a response......
