"Master, when I came back, I still saw the carriages and horses of the household."

"It's supposed to be a grain truck for disaster relief."

Li Qingshan smiled suddenly.

He covered his mouth, worried that he was smiling too happily.

Although he had been hinted by Xiao Fan a long time ago that he had a head start with King Qi, and now that he had fulfilled his expectations, he still couldn't help but be happy.

"From now on, we will also have backstage people!"

"Didn't you have it before?" Meng Qing said with a smile.

Li Qingshan shook his head:

"What kind of backstage is Feng Gui?"

"He's just a debt collector, a life collector."

"King Huai is not a good thing, but fortunately he is not victorious."

Meng Qing said: "I always feel that Xiao Gongzi has always known the inside story, could he be His Majesty's person?" ”

"This ......"

Li Qingshan didn't think about it that way, but now that he thinks about it, it's not impossible.

"Probably not." Still denied this fanciful conjecture.

"If he is His Majesty's man, he doesn't need to use medicine......"

"Okay, since someone is in charge of the disaster relief, let's pick up our own business and do it."

These days are so busy that Li Qingshan has forgotten that Qingshan Commercial Bank is a commercial house.

It almost became a good church.

"On the side of the trading house, it has been producing, and salt is constantly being delivered, and the fine salt obtained after refining has been hoarded."

The corners of Li Qingshan's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "According to Brother Xiao's suggestion, you should try to put it in the capital first, try to raise the price as much as possible, and then slowly increase the amount of investment." ”

Meng Qing understood:

"Like soap and sugar?"

"Yes."

Li Qingshan said with a smile: "Brother Xiao said that this is called hunger marketing, and it is the same reason as hoarding grain and selling it slowly in a famine year. ”

"But we're not sorry." Meng Qing said with a smile.

"That is, no matter how expensive the luxury is, Lao Tzu can sell it with peace of mind, and it is not the common people!" Li Qingshan is also very happy.

I used to do the dental business, but now that I think about it, I really should cut off my grandchildren.

"Luxury?" Meng Qing smiled, "This is also what Xiao Gongzi said?" So fresh. ”

"Okay, since the four gates of the capital have been opened, I will send some goods into the capital today."

Li Qingshan: "Send some to the Qi King's Mansion first, we are the people of the King of Qi, so naturally we must hold on to the master first." ”

"We must strictly inspect and don't let the villain use crooked means."

After instructing him again and again, Li Qingshan knew that some of these things would be sent to the emperor.

If someone was drugged and sent to the emperor's table, it would really be a joy for the nine clans.

"Shopkeeper!"

Someone came to report:

"The shopkeeper, the county order invites you to go to the county office, there are some adults in the capital, please go and meet."

"Don't go!"

Li Qingshan said lightly: "Send a few catties of salt over, just say that I am busy with this matter, so that the officials of the household department can see our salt." ”

"Yes."

After the man received the order, Meng Qing said, "Master wants to pretend to be Da Na Qiao?" ”

"We are the people of King Qi, we don't have to be so careful to flatter others, it's just a few grain officials from the household department who came to gild, there is no need to see them."

"Master, are you floating?" Meng Qing laughed.

Li Qingshan: "When King Qi ascends the throne, I will have no one in my eyes." ”

"Haha."

After all, I think it's ridiculous.

Li Qingshan, a person with exquisite faces, is naturally not floating.

Even if it swells, it's not so fast.

He said: "Tell you, now we have the business of refined salt, and the status is extremely high, and the household department will have to look at our face in the future, so we don't have to give them too much face for the time being." ”

"When they all see our salt, they will naturally rush to meet me and ask me for goods to sell at the stall."

Meng Qing: "But in the past, even if we were hot, sir, you were also very catchy of those officials, why this time?" ”

Li Qingshan sighed, his face full of bitterness.

"That's because, in the past, what we did was not very shady business, and even if it was legal, we could catch a lot of pigtails."

"But now it's different, we are the salt guide given by His Majesty himself, we are considered imperial merchants, and we have the backing of King Qi, we are a step to the sky!"

"Where do you need to catch up and stick someone else's cold ass?"

Meng Qing nodded slowly:

"Master, I understand, we are now strange goods, if we are too affectionate, but we seem to be inferior?"

"That's right!"

Li Qingshan said: "Brother Xiao specially asked you to tell me, which is also the meaning, let's pretend to be bright and bright now." ”

"Outfit?" Meng Qing's eyes lit up.

"Yes, pretend to be, our ancestors are all the founding heroes of the eighteenth generation."

"We have to hold our own identity, so that we can be worthy, and the people we will make friends with in the future are not ordinary officials, and those who are worthy of us to personally post in the past must be powerful ministers."

Li Qingshan said proudly: "I didn't expect that I, Li Qingshan, would have such a day in my life!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the folding fan that had been dusty for many years and shook it.

Meng Qing couldn't help laughing.

I was also sighing in my heart.

I didn't expect that I, Meng Qing, could one day go to Zhengda.

Once upon a time, he was just a black hand of Li Qingshan.

Now, it's a serious guard, and you don't have to do the same things as before.

For a while, both the master and servant sighed in their hearts, no wonder so many people wanted to wash their hands and go ashore.

The feeling of filling the cup in the bright light is so comfortable!

……

"Brother, why do we want to go home and not greet the officials in the capital?"

Xiao Fan shook his head:

"Welcome what?"

"I have been regarded by the emperor as a member of the Qi royal party, and it is easy to be suspicious of making friends with officials."

"Of course, their level is not enough, and I don't bother to deal with them."

"Also, now that we've been promoted, some attitudes can be changed."

"Huh?" Zhang Zongbao naturally didn't understand some unique words.

Xiao Fan smiled:

"King Jing is far away at the border, King Lu only has money, and now the three princes who are fine, only King Qi is expected to ascend to the throne."

"Let's just go up, but we can't float too much, lest the emperor also suspect King Qi, although this possibility is very low."

Zhang Zongbao suddenly stopped his horse.

Xiao Fan also reined in his horse and turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Zongbao: "Brother, do you want to be an official?" ”

Official?

Xiao Fan was stunned, and he was asked.

Do you want to be an official?

Truth be told, everyone wants to be an official.

Otherwise, what are you doing in the public exam?

I said I didn't want to because there was another way out.

For Xiao Fan, he really didn't think seriously about whether he had to be an official.

Or, you must not be an official.

If King Qi ascends to the throne, Xiao Fan, as a friend of King Qi, wants to enter the office, it is very simple.

But Xiao Fan also thought about it, did he really think that with his little talent, what official position could he do?

If you can't write it, you can't do it, you will only have some techniques similar to those made by heaven.

What can you do?

It seems that it can't.

led his troops to fight, Xiao Fan didn't dare, he was afraid of death.

When he entered the imperial court to be a big official, Xiao Fan didn't think about it carefully, he always felt that it was also very tiring.

Xiao Fan realized, it turned out that lying flat was my ideal.

If you are rich and powerful, you don't have to go to court, how happy is that?

"Hey......

Xiao Fan said: "We haven't taken a scientific examination, what kind of official are we doing?" ”

"You don't have to take a scientific examination, if the emperor likes you and promotes you directly, he can give you a big official."

Zhang Zongbao said: "In the past, those emperors who were corporal Lixian did this. ”

Truly.

A talented person can be a big official, even if he has no fame.

As long as the emperor sees you pleasing to the eye, he will be directly promoted to an important minister, or walk in front of the palace (commonly known as a secretary).

"I probably don't have a choice."

Xiao Fan shook his head, he had already entered the game, and he had been inseparable since the dark guard stared at him.

Sooner or later, he will go to the capital, active or passive.

There is also the matter of Yu Yourong, if it is to be resolved, it also needs to have a say in the imperial court.

Even if King Qi can help, after all, it is someone else's power, and if you want to be safe for a lifetime, you can't only have money and no power.

Because it's hard to guess when you'll be seen as fat or a thorn in the side by someone in power.

"There's nothing wrong with being an official."

Xiao Fan thought for a while and concluded: "It's best to be a quiet yamen, but you have the right and you don't need to go to court...... I don't have to get up so early. ”

In the early dynasties of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, although it was not every day, there would be once every three or five days, and every time it was just dawn, it would be Fengtian Hall to stand.

Xiao Fan felt that he probably wouldn't be able to get up, don't be impeached by others after just being an official for two days.

"It's too early to think about that."

Xiao Fan laughed and said: "The emperor likes King Qi now, who knows if he will change his hexagram, it is rare to say things in the future." ”

……

At the door of Xiao's house, a catcher came to deliver a letter.

"Xiao Gongzi!"

I was bumping into two brothers who were riding back from outside.

"What?"

"Lord Lin invited Xiao Gongzi to go to the Yamen, and a big man came to the capital."

"Who's coming?" Xiao Fan didn't care.

Fast Track:

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was ordered to come to the main force for disaster relief."

When Xiao Fan heard this, he turned his horse's head:

"Go to the county office!"

Zhang Zongbao rolled his eyes, didn't he say that he would ignore the people in the household department?
