Chapter 34: Shen Xin's Generous Strokes
Early morning.
In the courtyard, the little old man played Tai Chi, and Xiao Li Hong was learning on the side.
Under the pavilion, Li Qing and Zhu Yunwen sat opposite each other, one holding a black son and the other holding a white child, playing hand after hand.
Zhu Qizhen was quite bored, and gags from time to time to interfere with the two.
"Sir, you are the court that Hongwu entered in the fifteenth year, so who is older than you or Taizong?" Zhu Qizhen asked in a low voice.
"I'm big." Li Qing left a son and waited for Zhu Yunwen to fall.
"What about you and Taizu?"
"Taizu is older than me." Li Qing thought for a while and said, "I was in my thirties when I entered the court, and Taizu had gray hair at that time, but Taizong was only in his early twenties. ”
Zhu Yunwen saw that he had little chance of winning, so he simply couldn't give up, and also joined the chat camp.
He pointed to Xiao Li Hong in the distance and said, "At that time, I was his age, as for you... Your grandfather is still a chubby child. ”
"......" Zhu Qizhen was not angry, but he was helpless.
This master, the age is older than the other, where is he an opponent.
"I'm too lazy to meet you." Zhu Qizhen rolled his eyes and said to Li Qing, "Sir, you are like this in the Hongwu Dynasty...... Presumptuous? ”
"That's not true, I was submissive at first," Li Qing said with a smile, "Old Zhu Na...... Ahem, Taizu's murderous aura is so heavy, I'm also afraid of being beheaded. ”
Zhu Qizhen was surprised: "You are so powerful, are you still afraid of people?" ”
"At that time, it was not as powerful as it is now, I was still more restrained," Li Qing said, "The situation was different then and now, the people could not move at will, not only was the household registration very troublesome, but the local government also had a strong rejection of outsiders, which could not be compared with now." ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded and agreed: "Yes, now the people are too free,
However, the situation is different, and it cannot be said that Taizu was wrong at that time, when the Ming Dynasty had just been established for more than ten years, the situation was not stable, and the people were not allowed to run around, which helped to stabilize and resume production. ”
"Indeed," Li Qing nodded, "The country's governance is determined by the time and situation, and it is not immutable, nor can the current situation be used to reverse the previous national policy." ”
"I get that." Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile: "Are you good to follow a grandson at that time...... Ahem, pretty well-behaved, right? ”
"Do you have any misunderstanding about following the rules?" Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips and sneered, "Do you think they are all like you, at home, and they are as well-behaved as rabbits when they go out?" ”
"You don't want to talk about this at every turn, okay?" Zhu Qizhen broke the defense, "It's endless, right?" ”
Zhu Yunwen asked rhetorically: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"You ......" Zhu Qizhen said indignantly, "I talked to Mr., what did you interject?" ”
"Alright, stop arguing." Li Qing's brain hurt, "Haven't you read the Taizu record?" ”
Zhu Qizhen shook his head: "It's too boring, I've only read a little bit, it's all Taizu's family history, I haven't seen you out yet, I've only seen you in the records of Taizong and Xuanzong." ”
Li Qing frowned: "Why don't you read the record of Renzong?" ”
"During the Renzong period, the situation was stable, so there was nothing to see?" Zhu Qizhen said as a matter of course.
“…… If you want to know, just ask him. Li Qing picked up "Water Margin", leaned back, and watched it with relish.
Zhu Qizhen's face was full of black lines, and his curiosity was aroused, and he scratched his heart with a hundred claws: "Hey, tell me?" ”
"Please!" Zhu Yunwen's face is high.
“…… Please, speak quickly. Zhu Qizhen was patient and perfunctory.
Zhu Yunwen was dissatisfied: "This is your attitude of begging people? ”
"If you like to talk about it or not, I won't listen to it yet." Zhu Qizhen's nose was almost crooked, so he got up and left.
saw Zhu Yunwen leaning back, shook his head and sighed lightly: "I wanted to talk about it, but some people don't want to listen to it!" ”
"......" Zhu Qizhen paused, came back and sat down, and said sullenly: "Let's talk." ”
"Let's talk about it first, not in vain." Zhu Yunwen said happily, "You have to watch ten scenes." ”
"Why don't you grab it?" Zhu Qizhen is no longer the emperor, and his temperament still does not change.
In fact, he is not short of money, every New Year's holiday, Zhu Yunwen will give money to his granddaughter-in-law, and in the end it fell into the hands of Zhu Qizhen.
He doesn't need to buy anything at home, the main thing is to eat and live for nothing, plus eat soft rice for his daughter-in-law.
"Two games, no more."
"Five games, you don't bargain like this." Zhu Yunwen said, "Two games, I won't be a white grinder?" ”
"Four games, no counteroffer."
"Hmm... Let's start with the fall of the horse......"
Li Qing didn't listen to it, put down the book and went to play with his godson.
…
On Jinling Street, the prosperity is still the same.
The shops are next to each other, but nine out of ten have the word 'Shen Ji' written on the door plaque.
It seems that Shen Xin has completed the monopoly...... Li Qing was not surprised, when he fought the price war before, Shen Xin was already invincible, and he laid out towards Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Nowadays, it makes sense to monopolize the market.
However, after all, Jinling is a direct subordinate, and there are not many official gentry here, Shen Xin can really do this step, if he wants to say that he has not hooked up with people from the government, he doesn't believe it.
Those people weren't vegetarians, and there were too many ways to punish him.
At this stage, Li Qing is not worried about Shen Xin's tail, but is a little worried about Shen Xin's situation.
These are all vampires, they don't have enough to eat, no matter how rich Shen Xin is, it's enough to feed a group of people.
After all...... It's all good, and I still think about it.
"Godfather, I'll go back in a while, and the child wants to go home for two days." Xiao Li Hong said, "The child hasn't lived at home for a long time, and he misses his father and mother." ”
"No problem." Li Qing smiled and said, "Wherever you like, you can live." ”
"Thank you, godfather." Xiao Li Hong smiled happily, and then confirmed, "Godfather won't leave before the year, right?" ”
"Don't go." Li Qing nodded.
The little guy was relieved.
After shopping around, Li Qing bought some gifts and took the little one to Li's house.
After chatting with Xiao Li Hong's parents for a while, Li Qing left his godson and left.
He did not go home, but went to the weaving bureau to learn about the current situation of maritime business.
…
Xiao Liuzi is even fatter, and the fat on his body trembles when he walks, not to mention the weight of two hundred catties, and with his not tall figure, it is almost round.
"Our family has seen Li Qincha." Xiao Liuzi made a difficult salute.
Li Qing helped him up with a smile and explained, "Father-in-law is young, I am not a messenger this time. ”
"That's right." Xiao Liuzi's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with a smile, "Then our family has seen Master Li." ”
He didn't believe that Li Qingda came all the way to Jinling, not to do the emperor's errand, or to take a vacation?
Li Qing didn't break it, so it's good to have a misunderstanding like this, and if you want to do something at that time, it will be much more convenient.
"How is the situation of the Weaving Bureau now?"
Xiao Liuzi was busy straightening his posture and reported, "Since the redivision of the share of maritime trade, the Weaving Bureau has been able to achieve complete self-sufficiency, and there is no need to buy Shen Ji's goods, but the income has also declined seriously accordingly. ”
After a pause, "Of course, overall it is still profitable, but it doesn't make as much money as before." ”
Li Qingdao said: "What about the account book? ”
"Uh... Later, my lord, we will let people pick it up. Xiao Liuzi rubbed his hands and said, "That... My lord, does the emperor have a new directive to the Weaving Bureau? ”
"Not yet." Li Qing took a sip of tea and said, "How is that Shen Xin now?" ”
"That guy is earning it now, grandma's, that's a lot of money." Xiao Liuzi's eyes were red, "His stall is getting bigger and bigger now, and I heard that Suzhou and Hangzhou are about to account for half of the country...... Ahh ”
As he spoke, he gave himself two big mouths.
Li Qing was amused, there was really no need to care about this kind of thing, so he simply didn't hear it.
"He can do this, and he doesn't send money to the people in Zhili, right?"
"This ......" Xiao Liuzi hesitated, nodded and said: "The adult has the grace to our family, our family does not hide it from the adult, Shen Xin is indeed a big deal, and the officials of Jinling have not taken his benefits." ”
"Oh?" Li Qing smiled and said, "It seems that my father-in-law has also taken it?" ”
"Ahaha...... Be. Xiao Liuzi sneered, "However, our family has not harmed the public and private interests, others take it, and it is given for free, who doesn't want it?" Hehe......"
Li Qing also smiled and said: "With the light and the dust, this official is not an unkind person." ”
Then, with a smile, he said solemnly: "However, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, errands are the most important thing, the court is in urgent need of money now, and my father-in-law should not distinguish between priority and priority." ”
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, my lord, our family will not forget." ”
"Well," Li Qing's face softened, and he asked, "You just said that he is generous, how big is it?" ”
"Uh... The most time is a thousand taels, but any official who has status and speaks......" he said in a low voice, "He promised this number every year." ”
"Twenty thousand?"
Xiao Liuzi nodded.
It's kind of interesting...... The corners of Li Qing's mouth pulled up a touch of playfulness: This guy is a little wild!
