On the first day Li Qing came to Jinling, he went to the Weaving Bureau to understand the situation, and then he enjoyed it with peace of mind, thinking that Shen Xin came to learn about the situation from Xiaoliuzi.

He was surprised that Shen Xin came to him for what?

Last time, it was obviously a collapse!

After thinking about it, he understood that Shen Xin was most likely counterattacked.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile: Sure enough, people don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and they don't know how to throw it when their nose is runny.

However, it is not so easy to get rid of it now.

As the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, those officials are not good at stubble, and now even if Li Qing wants to help, it is not easy.

Of course, Li Qing didn't want to help him resolve it, he was given a chance at the beginning, who let him not cherish it.

But Li Qing didn't want Shen Xin to die, after all, Shen Xin was still very useful, he had expected it for a long time, and arranged Shen Xin clearly.

"Let them come back, I'm the one you're looking for."

Li Qing is noble, the temperament of a person who has been in the top position for a long time is very convincing, that person does not suspect him, and he hurriedly wants to call someone.

"Wait a minute, go and talk to the people in the house." Li Qing added that the old man beat him again if he came back.

Li Qing really has something to do, and the old man is still very tolerant, but if he forgets the old man for his own enjoyment, he will be beaten.

The team soon returned, and Li Qing stepped on the 'air-conditioned sedan chair' and was carried to Shen's house.

…

Shen Jia,

Shen Xin was really anxious, so anxious.

At the beginning, he didn't think much of Li Qing's words, but now they have all come true, everything is as Li Qing said, and he can't stand being sucked by those officials.

The stall is getting bigger and bigger, but the profit is getting smaller and smaller, if he can rely on small profits and quick turnover, he also admits it, the problem is that the sales are oversold, and the profits are almost none.

He can barely break even now, except for the cost of raw materials and labor costs, he almost worked in vain, and the profits went to those major shareholders.

These people greeted each other with a smile, but they couldn't talk about money, and they immediately turned their faces when they said this.

Even complaining about grievances is annoying, and I am reprimanded.

Shen Xin wants to accept it now, but people refuse, the method of smashing the market with money back then worked for the rich gentry, but the target was replaced by officials, and it didn't work at all.

Without him, these people have great power in their hands!

Shen Xin saw it clearly now, but it was too late, he had also sent people to Jinling to look for Li Qing, but every time he was empty.

I went to the Weaving Bureau today to send filial piety to Xiao Liuzi, and overheard that Li Qing had come to Jinling, so I immediately ordered someone to invite him.

"I hope that Lord Li is kind-hearted, and adults don't remember villains......" Shen Xin paced back and forth, thinking in pieces, and gave himself a mouth from time to time.

Repent, my bowels are repentant.

His current business barely keeps him profitable or losing, but the problem is that many officials have heard the wind and joined this group that he has single-handedly wooed.

Then these men joined forces, half induced, half coerced, to let him build a workshop in his own jurisdiction.

There is no other reason, officials can not only make money for themselves, but also contribute taxes to the court, so that the court and the emperor are happy.

The best of both worlds, of course they're happy to do.

And the people have a job, more peaceful, those officials eat and drink all day long, they don't have to do any work, and they can also be praised by the court, and even promoted, that is called a comfortable one.

What's even more excessive is that these people didn't forget to pull Shen Xin when they were promoted, but they pulled him down and continued to let him invest in building workshops in his new jurisdiction.

"Bandits, bandits, no, they are even more shameless than bandits and robbers......" Shen Xin gritted his teeth, "They are a group of demons." ”

But... He only dared to scold two sentences behind his back.

"Sir, sir... Master Lee is here. Before the old housekeeper arrived, the voice came first.

Shen Xin's spirits perked up, his anger was replaced by surprise, and he hurriedly walked out of the house, "Go, go and let people prepare wine and food." ”

"Yes, sir." The old butler had not yet stood firm, and hurried away again.

Parvis.

Shen Xin grovelled and invited Li Qing into the lobby, Li Qing sat in the first seat, he was the second first, half of his butt was next to the chair, his face was full of flattery.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Master Li is still so handsome." Shen Xin patted his ass, but it wasn't all sycophant.

Li Qing grew a beard and made some 'grooming', which made him look much younger than he actually was, but he was only in his thirties.

But that energetic look like a young man, making him look young again, a little disobedient.

"Boss Shen invited me over, why do you want to do it?" Li Qing didn't answer this question, put down the teacup, and asked knowingly.

Hearing the title of 'Boss Shen' again, Shen Xin was full of bitterness, where is he still high-spirited now?

"Master Li, I was wrong." Shen Xin revealed his true feelings and said regretfully: "I should have listened to you at the beginning, but now ...... I'm already out of my mind! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down for Li Qing, and the old tears were rampant.

"Boss Shen, what are you doing, hurry up." Li Qing looked at Shen Xin, whose temples were white, and sighed a little, this guy is not young anymore.

However, with a good life and a good doctor at home, his body and bones look very good, and people who are close to the age of the sixtieth birthday are still full of energy.

Shen Xin staggered up and cried: "Please also ask the adults to pull the grass people." ”

"If you have something to say, don't cry." Li Qing took a sip of tea and said, "As far as I know, your Boss Shen now has stalls all over Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even nearly half of the business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang belongs to your Shen family. ”

Shen Xin said bitterly: "This is just the appearance, but in fact, all the money I made went into the hands of those officials, I can only barely maintain the status quo, and they keep coercing me to set up a new workshop;

My lord, I am rich, but no matter how rich I am, I can't stand them like this. ”

After a pause, he hurriedly said: "My lord, you promised the grass people, as long as the grass people don't do things that violate the law of the country and hurt the people and harm the people, you will protect the grass people, and the grass people ......."

"Huh? What has been said, I will naturally fulfill. Li Qingdao said, "I can keep you from dying, but that's limited to it, do you want me to offend an entire interest group for you?" ”

Shen Xin froze for a moment, comparing his heart to his heart, he also felt that this was too much, and if it was him, he would never agree to this kind of request.

But... If he drags it like this, he will be dragged into the abyss sooner or later.

"My lord, as long as you can help me, I can recover the loss, and divide the account fifty-fifty." Shen Xin said seriously.

That's a lot of money.

Li Qing frowned in embarrassment, and after a while, he sighed: "Okay, I'll help you once." ”

"Thank you, sir......!" Shen Xin got up and bowed, kowtowing 'bang bang'.

Li Qing stepped forward to help him up and said: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, over the years, they have become accustomed to you as a tool man, and if you pick a child, they will naturally refuse;

So, you have to bring in a new group and pull yourself out. ”

After a pause: "I will let the factory guard protect you thoroughly, you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find a home, and package and sell the industry and even workers to the rich gentry who are able to accept it, so that you can get rid of them?" ”

Shen Xin's eyes lit up, and he was casual again, "My lord, this is easy to say, but the problem is that no one may dare to take over, besides, if I really want to do that, those people will not let me go afterwards." ”

Li Qing said: "As long as you have a fair price, you don't have to worry about no one taking over, and the maritime trade is very profitable, it is difficult for those rich gentry not to move, just like ...... You at the beginning. ”

Shen Xin's old face turned red.

But I heard Li Qing continue, "As for those people settling accounts after the autumn, you can rest assured, I will protect you, and no one dares to do anything to you." ”

Shen Xin was overjoyed, but he was a little suspicious: "Can adults really do it?" ”

Li Qing smiled: "Do you doubt my ability, or do you doubt my character?" ”

"The grass people don't dare." Shen Xin sneered, "It's just...... There are so many people, and the grass people are afraid that it will be difficult for adults. ”

Li Qing was surprised: "Don't you know about me being made a marquis?" ”

"This grass farmer has heard about it." Shen Xin nodded, "But ...... Those people are not easy to mess with, there are many of them. ”

"Hehe......" Li Qing pouted and smiled, "Ben Hou can be promoted to marquis with a seven-rank official in one step, and he can't protect you as a small businessman?" ”

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then felt relieved, and said excitedly: "The grass people thank Lord for the grace of recreation." ”

"Don't rush to thank you, I still have conditions."

"Uh... But the adults divide the account fifty-fifty... Dissatisfied? Shen Xin asked hesitantly.

Li Qing shook his head: "No, after this is done, you can't stay in Jiangnan, follow me to the north." ”

"Huh?" Shen Xin was full of resistance, "My lord, can you change the conditions, I can make Yicheng profitable." ”

"It's not a matter of concessions, you know, I can't stay in the South all the time." Li Qing said lightly, "I can protect you now, and when I go back to Beijing in the future, you are in Jiangnan, how can I protect you?" ”

Shen Xin sighed dejectedly and nodded slowly: "What the adults said is true, but with such a big family business, it is difficult to get rid of it for a while." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Li Qing smiled, "I won't go back until the New Year next year, so long time, isn't it enough for you to operate?" ”

"So long?" Shen Xin was shocked.

Li Qing bowed: "Is there enough time?" ”

"Enough, enough." Shen Xin was pleasantly surprised, and then said: "But I'm really too busy alone, I have to let my sons help out, I don't know if adults can ......."

"Yes." Li Qing nodded, "You start to deal with the affairs of Suzhou and Hangzhou first, I will let the brothers of the Weaving Bureau protect you first, and when I go back, I will write a letter to the emperor and ask him to send another thousand households in brocade clothes." ”

"Well, for the best." Shen Xin made another big salute, full of joy.

Li Qing is also in a very good mood, now that the industrial chain in all parts of Jiangnan has matured, as long as he finds a good home, it doesn't matter if Shen Xin is not here.

The north lags behind the south a lot, and if Shen Xin goes there, he will definitely be able to drive economic development again.

And this is the back road that Li Qing arranged for Shen Xin!

With Shen Xin's capital, as long as he can gain a foothold, he will be able to show initial results in less than five years, and he will be able to drive the economy in ten years.

Of course, in another 50 years, it will not be able to compare with Jiangnan, but at least it can bring the market economy of the north to a new height.

With the increase in population, the Ming Dynasty also has to make changes, not only obsessed with Jiangnan, but also expand productivity is the first element.

At that time, foreign trade in the south and domestic sales in the north will make a difference in price at a low cost, and a low cost will pull domestic demand.

After a while, the wine and food came up. gòйЪ.ōΓg

The two sat opposite each other, toasted and drank together, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Both of them achieved their goals, were in a good mood, and drank to their heart's content.

After a drink, it was dark.

Shen Xin kept Li Qing to live and offered Xiao Twenty-one, but Li Qing was not interested in other people's concubines and declined his kindness.

The moon is so bright tonight, the night breeze is slightly cool, listening to the insects and birds all the way, Li Qing is swimming.

When I got home, it was already late.

Li Qing was very interested, and he didn't feel sleepy, sitting alone under the pavilion, blowing the wind and admiring the moon.

After a while, Zhu Qizhen came over with the wine jar, and when he saw that he was also there, he was surprised: "You haven't slept yet?" ”

"Well, ...... are you?"

"I'm not in a good mood, why don't you have a drink together?" Zhu Qizhen raised the wine jar in his hand.

"No, drink it yourself." Li Qing waved his hand, turned around and walked to the table in the center of the pavilion and sat down, "Still angry about Li Hong's affairs?" ”

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of wine, shook his head with a wry smile: "The girl will definitely marry in the future, the bastard is up to you, and the girl will really follow him in the future, which will reassure me more than with others, otherwise, I won't raise a knife in the afternoon and not cut it." ”

Li Qing didn't care about him scolding himself by his godson, but comforted:

"I can understand your feelings, but then again, you are married to a daughter, but you are also a son for nothing;

In the future, Li Hong will definitely inherit my family business, this Hou Mansion will be their younger couple in the future, your daughter is still here, and your grandson and granddaughter will be here in the future, so I think it's much better. ”

Zhu Qizhen snorted: "My daughter doesn't necessarily really like him, she is still young now, she doesn't know what liking is, that little beast just relies on a good skin, and a mouth, ahhh ”

When the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, he doesn't like it...... Li Qing just thought it was funny:

"Okay, your girl is with your father, she is not ordinary shrewd, and she is also very precocious, most of them can succeed, and she can't stand the grievances in the future."

Zhu Qizhen said in an urn: "Your godson may not be as good as you think." ”

"What I taught, I have confidence." Li Qing smiled, "Also, I have more confidence in your daughter, this little girl has grown up, and she will definitely be able to eat Li Hong to death." ”

"Hey, don't look at whom." Zhu Qizhen hummed and said that being enlightened by Li Qing made him feel much better.

After pouring another sip of wine, he asked, "How is the situation in the court now?" ”

"Everything is thriving, there are bad places, but there are more good ones." Li Qing said.

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said, "King Yu... How is the emperor? ”

"What are you asking?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Political talent. ”

"Not as good as you, but he's working hard, very hard." Li Qing sighed, "He has white hair." ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned and speechless for a while.

After a long time, he poured another sip of wine and sighed: "I cheated him!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Qing was lying on the bed in a big shape, sleeping soundly, suddenly, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, then his face was slightly red, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Master, can you stop being so funny?" Li Qing took away the little old man's hand holding his nose, took a few breaths, and his face returned to normal.

Looking at the sun outside, he was even more depressed: "The sun has just risen, and it's still early for lunch." ”

"Someone is looking for you." Zhang sloppy said, "Foreigners. ”

"What?"
