Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Although Li Qing is salted fish, he has been paying attention to the movements of the ministers, but he ...... The ministers did not move.

There is no turmoil, there is no yang and yin violation, under Wang Zhen's strict surveillance, no one dares to make trouble, everyone is very well-behaved, at least for now.

It is worth mentioning that after this incident, Wang Zhen became more and more arrogant, and the whole person became more and more ruthless and arrogant.

Obviously, he felt that as long as he was ruthless enough, no one would dare to mess with him again.

Wang Zhen has this point of view, mainly due to Li Qing.

Li Qing's anti-killing incident was too classic, and he felt that he could reproduce it.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Zhu Qizhen, who was in a good mood, took his annual leave one day in advance.

Li Qing saw that Wang Zhenzhen was in the middle of the town, and he couldn't make a fuss for a short time, so he entered the palace and proposed to Zhu Qizhen to go on a business trip to Jinling.

Zhu Qizhen squinted at him and teased: "Are you going on a business trip, I am not rare to break you, you just want to go back to Jinling for the New Year." ”

"Not exactly." Li Qing shook his head: "Jiangnan is the key to maritime trade, and now that the national policy of re-ordering the West has been implemented, we will go to sea successively after the year, and we must know the situation over there,"

After a pause, "What is the emperor's strategy for Western trade?" ”

Zhu Qizhen no longer held on, pondered for a moment, and said, "The current commodities are not enough to support the West, and I am ready to rob ...... Buy some of the things they can't sell, and use them for overseas trade. ”

You're so black, can't people sell it, is it because you don't let people sell it...... Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, have you considered what impact this will have?" ”

"The worst is some mess." Zhu Qizhen was fearless, "Don't be afraid, I will make arrangements in advance, and if there is chaos in any place, I will directly ban the maritime trade in that place, and I will not be relieved, so don't ask for Sancheng." ”

"You're so domineering!" Li Qing teased.

"I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is naturally domineering!" Zhu Qizhen is full of confidence.

Li Qing's face was full of helplessness: "Self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is not advisable, don't underestimate them." ”

"I know." Zhu Qizhen said, "Don't worry, I'm not the same person I used to be." ”

I'd rather you were the same as you were back then, and now your wings are stiff and you're starting to float...... Li Qing arched his hand and said, "That minister has gone to Jinling." ”

"Let's go back after the New Year." Zhu Qizhen patted his chest and said, "This year, I will give you a big red envelope, the oversized kind." ”

Li Qing refused, not because he didn't love money, but whenever he changed the emperor, he wouldn't be so simple.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen's super large red envelope ...... Hehe, that's it, it's not worth his time.

Back home, Li Qing said goodbye to his donkey brother, handed it over to Yu Qian for foster care, and then rushed to Jinling.

~

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Qing returned to his home in Jinling, but he was not as happy as expected.

There are fewer and fewer people who are familiar with him, and Li Jinglong is no longer there this year, without his broken mouth, life is a lot less colorful.

Li Qing first went to Qixia Mountain, and then went to see Li Jinglong and Lan Yu respectively, and then went home for the last year.

Before the Lantern Festival, it was considered the New Year, and after Li Qing came back, the flavor of the New Year in the house was stronger, and under the pressure of the little old man, he was busy making food every day.

The godson of the opposite door came to visit the door all day long, which filled Li Jinglong's vacancy in a sense, and the child's vigor diluted the sorrow of the deceased.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve passed, Li Qing still wrapped him in a big red envelope, and the little guy was very happy, patting his bulging waist bag to show off everywhere, and that unique childishness was very attractive.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and the little guy is not much stranger to him, and within a few days they get together, and they have to sleep next to him at night.

Probably this is the charm of personality...... Li Qing thought about it.

In Jinling, he has a sense of belonging.

Relax and unload your burden.

It is now the twelfth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Yunwen is seventy years old, and the little boy who was once scared by Zhu Di at Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday banquet is now full of white hair, with a rickety body and skinny bones.

The twilight of his body was in strong contrast with Xiao Li Hong, which touched Li Qing a lot.

"Senior brother, are you okay?" Li Qing asked with concern.

"It's good." Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, "With Master here, can I be in good health?" ”ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

"It's good." Li Qing also smiled, "The world is gorgeous and colorful, charming and red, when you appreciate more, Master also needs someone to accompany you." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then said in surprise: "Senior brother, you don't need to worry about this, I should say this, with senior brother here, I will rest assured, and the master will be handed over to you in the future." ”

"Yes, you two are an eyesore for the old man, aren't you?" The little old man who was boxing on the side stopped his movements and hummed, "I'll die tomorrow." ”

"Don't, that's not what the disciple meant." The brothers are busy compensating, one beats the shoulder, the other beats the leg, and the filial piety is not good.

Zhang Sloppy took into account that Zhu Yunwen was old, so he grabbed Li Qing and beat him up.

After the incident, he was still humming angrily, looking like 'no good food'.

Li Qing seriously suspected that the little old man just wanted to eat delicious food and deliberately found fault.

If you want to eat you, why do you have to beat me up?

Lantern Festival.

Li Qingbao's sesame-stuffed dumplings are very popular with everyone, and Xiao Li Hong has eaten a small bowl.

…

Li Qing did not ask for leave to return to his hometown this time, in addition to relaxing, he also held the influence of the imperial court on the south of the Yangtze River after returning to the West and occupying seventy percent of the trade.

He first went to the Weaving Bureau to find Xiao Liuzi to understand, but Xiao Liuzi didn't know anything about business, how could he understand this;

All day long, he is either thinking about improving his political performance, or he wants to be greedy for some money, take advantage of a little bit or something, but he is still restrained, he doesn't dare to be greedy for big money, and he is only greedy for some small money.

Rao is like this, he also makes a lot of money, and he has bought real estate in Jinling.

After chatting for a long time, he didn't get any useful clues, so Li Qing had no choice but to go to Shen Xin.

Shen Mansion.

Shen Xin spat out bitterness: "My lord, you can be regarded as coming, the grass people are bitter these days!"

Can you persuade the emperor to let the old man raise his noble hand and give the grass people some way to live? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Qing asked knowingly, "Boss Shen is in trouble?" ”

"It's not ordinary!" Shen Xin sighed, "The grass people don't know how to describe it, I'm now casting a net, and my competitors have also died, but the fish really haven't been caught!" ”

Shen Xin was telling the truth, he was now trapped.

And it's a high-level trap.

In the early stage, he frantically burned money in order to seize the market and dominate the marine trade.

Now it's good, the market is seized, but as soon as the emperor made a move, he took away seventy percent of the share of maritime trade, and the money he spent before is not an exaggeration.

"My lord, you said that the court would support me, and now the situation ......," Shen Xin said with a bitter face, "Do you want to find a way?"

I'll get down on your knees. ”

Shen Xin is difficult, he is too difficult.

If this is how it goes, he will have to go bankrupt in a few years.

Li Qing didn't want him to go bankrupt, the sprout of capital finally appeared, and he didn't want to fall short.

Shen Xin played an important role in the development of semi-industrialization in the Ming Dynasty.

"What do you want?" Li Qing asked.

"Can you be seven in the civil and three in the court?" Shen Xin said tentatively, seeing that Li Qing's face sank, he hurriedly changed his words: "Five-five is the head office, right?" ”

Li Qing frowned and was silent.

Shen Xin was really anxious, "My lord, if it goes on like this, even if I can persevere, the money I owe to the rich gentry will never be repaid, and it's no wonder if they don't tear me up." ”

"Don't get excited." Li Qing soothed, "Your difficulties are known to the official, don't worry, I won't sit idly by and watch you not survive." ”

"Hey, okay, good." Shen Xin's mood calmed down a little, and asked, "My lord came this time, but the emperor asked you to relieve the siege of the grass people?" ”

You think too much, so the little emperor doesn't care about your life or death...... Li Qing was noncommittal, "How many goods do you have now?" ”

"There are a lot of goods, but the imperial court is strictly guarded at the sea, and the quota is serious, so it can't be sold at all!" Shen Xin said miserably.

"Since you can't sell it, why not sell it to the imperial court?" Li Qingdao said, "It's not a secret, the imperial court is just out of stock." ”

Shen Xin was stunned: Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this, what's the difference between this and robbery?

According to the emperor's urine, I can't buy it at the market price a few years ago, and I don't even have enough capital!

He didn't dare to say these words, and said, "My lord said that he was joking, and the grass people meant...... Can the limit be lifted? ”

"The official didn't laugh." Li Qing said seriously: "Selling these goods to the imperial court is your only way out." ”

Shen Xin's face was white, and his heart was cold.

He still doesn't understand that he is being harvested.

The clown is me?
