Outside the window, it was snowing again.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the window and wanted to open the window to enjoy the snow scene, but after all, he didn't take action, his body didn't allow him to be willful.

"Just watch it if you want."

Li Qing stretched out his hand and put it on his wrist and gave him pure and innocent qi.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a trickle of warmth rushing into his body crazily, and the whole person was warm and comfortable.

"How does it feel?"

"The body seems to be supported by a vitality steadily, and the spirit is exceptionally good," Zhu Gaoxu exclaimed: "Is this the immortal method?" ”

"Hehe... Where did the fairy means come from? Li Qing smiled bitterly, "I lied to you at the beginning, but in fact, I am just an ordinary person who can live, more powerful than ordinary people, but I have nothing to do with immortals." ”

Li Qing sighed faintly: "If I really have immortal means, I won't have too many regrets." ”

'Squeak' Li Qing opened the window, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and was silent for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu stood beside him, like Li Qing, silent and speechless.

A large snowflake was sent in by the wind and fell on the floor and turned into water droplets, and the cold air came directly, but Zhu Gaoxu was not affected, and his body was still warm.

After a long time, he asked, "How long can you do this?" ”

"How?"

"I want to play a big knife in the snow," Zhu Gaoxu's eyes yearned, "I used to like winter the most, on a cold day, I sweated all over my body, turning the cold into cool." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were bright: "I want to be young again!" ”

Li Qing smiled, put his hand on his wrist, and passed on a lot of true qi to him, encouraging: "Go, go crazy." ”

~

The snow is very large, Zhu Gaoxu's beard is white, holding a ten-pound knife, playing fierce and domineering, the goose feather snow is swept by the blade, the large piece is cut into two, and the sound of breaking the air is endless.

A family of three walking in the snow stopped to watch, the mother and daughter were amazed, and Zhu Qizhen also realized from the side how brave this second grandfather was when he was young.

"Grandpa is amazing."

The little girl was very supportive, and her little hands were clapping loudly.

"It's called Grandpa." Zhu Qizhen patted her and said softly.

The little girl was as kind as a stream, and changed her words: "Grandpa is so powerful! ”

"Hahaha...... That is, I think back then, grandpa Tai was also a good man in the army, and he was a good man with one as ten. Zhu Gaoxu drank lightly, and the strength of his subordinates increased a little, becoming more and more domineering and fierce.

Li Qing glanced at Zhu Wanqing and said, "You don't praise a few words, and your grandfather doesn't praise you." ”

Zhu Wanqing: "......"

True Qi is not omnipotent, nor can it last, and after about a quarter and a half of hours, Zhu Gaoxu was physically exhausted and stopped.

"Haha...... It's enjoyable, and I'm sweating again, it's really enjoyable! Zhu Gaoxu laughed, and experienced the pleasure of his youth, which made him extremely satisfied.

Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward, passed on some true qi for him, and said, "Go back to the house and rest for a while, don't get carried away, have a happy and sad life." ”

"yes, okay." Zhu Gaoxu closed his eyes and enjoyed the refreshment of the wind and snow for a moment, then took Li Qing and handed him the cane and walked into the house.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the old back, was silent for a while, and said, "Xiaoqian, you and Wanqing continue to walk, I'll go in and have a look." ”

"Okay, husband, let's go."

~

In the room, the charcoal burned very strongly, and a layer of fine white ash condensed on the surface, and a spark popped out from time to time.

Li Qing and Zhu Gaoxu sat opposite each other, and Zhu Qizhen played sideways to accompany them.

The three of them were calm, and the grandfather and grandson no longer broke their heads.

"Why don't you have a drink?" Zhu Qizhen proposed.

Li Qing looked at Zhu Gaoxu, "Do you want to drink?" ”

"Then drink." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "This is the last time I indulge." ”

"I'll get it." Zhu Qizhen hurriedly walked out, and after a while, he came with wine and said with a smile: "It's all warm, I originally thought I would drink it myself, but... It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all. ”

He poured three glasses, one to Zhu Gaoxu, one to Li Qing, and raised the glass.

Li Qing and Zhu Gaoxu also raised their wine glasses, touched each other, and took small sips.

The three of them drank slowly, because they all knew that this was the last time, and they didn't want it to end so soon.

In the face of life and death, everything seems pale and redundant, and there is nothing that cannot be let go, Zhu Gaoxu is finally relieved, completely relieved.

He no longer blames Zhu Di, nor does he blame anyone, and even, he doesn't blame himself anymore.

He and everyone have reached an understanding, and he is calm and fearless.

……

Shen Xin's movements were very fast, with more than a dozen sons, several grandchildren, and a large number of Jinyi guards as the backing, the speed of the return of funds was much faster than expected.

In the middle of the month, everything was completed, including the local industry in Jinling, and only one house was left.

The name of the super-rich is not boasted, Shen Xin, the richest man in Jinling, is actually the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, although he has been sucked away a lot by the Jiangnan bureaucracy, the rest is still super considerable.

Calculated into silver, there are more than 27 million taels!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country, not to mention 27 million taels of silver, and 7 million can't be taken out.

With so much wealth, there are too many facts that can be done, and Li Qing doesn't dare to think about how many industries can be driven by the release of these wealths.

You know, this is not 27 million treasure money, but silver in vain, and the purchasing power is quite strong!

"My lord, when are we leaving?" Shen Xin rubbed his hands and asked, he was already a little impatient.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "How about the sixth day of the first month?" ”

Han Han couldn't wait, he also rested for more than half a year, there was no need to take enough leave.

"Six-six-smooth, excellent." Shen Xin couldn't close his mouth with joy, "My lord's share, Shen is ready, when do you see it ......?" ”

"Don't worry," Li Qing smiled and said, "Let's go to the north first." ”

"Huh? This..."Shen Xin's heart suddenly burst out, and he said, "Shouldn't my lord... So what, right? ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor will not do everything he can to fish, your family property is indeed tempting enough, but the emperor sits on the four seas, and his chest is filled with all the people of the world." ”

After a pause, "Besides, you are also the emperor's people, if he wants to do this to you, wouldn't he openly start a war against all the landlords and rich gentry of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Uh... It seems like so. Shen Xin smiled embarrassedly.

People are like this sometimes, if you help him save, he will not feel at ease.

However, this time the amount is too big, Li Qing loves money, but he is not greedy for money.

But since Shen Xin was not at ease if he didn't accept it, Li Qing had no choice but to accept it: "The silver is ready, and when the time comes, I will hand it over to the treasury, and I will say that it is the tax you paid." ”

"My lord, Shen has never paid less, it's better to ......," Shen Xin said tentatively, "It's better to say that Shen donated it." ”

Li Qing glanced at him and snorted, "You are a small citizen, donating five million taels for the country?" It's not a good thing to be in the limelight, it's the right thing to make a lot of money in a muffled voice;

Moreover, the imperial court needs to be decent, the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, why does the Ming Dynasty need the people to donate? ”

Li Qing said lightly: "Your intentions, the emperor naturally knows, but if you want to pierce this layer of window paper, it is your fault." ”

Shen Xin was stunned, and he was busy compensating: "The villain knows his mistakes, and everything is up to the adult." ”

"That's right." Li Qing smiled and said, "You are a businessman, just do your business well, don't be forced into it if you are not in a circle, otherwise...... Hehe, haven't you suffered enough? ”

Shen Xin's heart sank: If this is handled by the northern bureaucracy, then there is really no place to go.

He doesn't know anything about the court situation, but it doesn't affect him to understand the stakes, even he, a businessman, will do three indiscriminate things, those high-ranking officials in the temple, how can they be good?

He has already seen the viciousness of the Jiangnan bureaucracy, but he doesn't want to see the tricks of the Beijing officials anymore.

If you really want to develop your career, the safest way is to let future generations study hard and take the orthodox imperial examination route.

"Master Xie mentions, Shen will no longer have unwise thoughts." Shen Xin said seriously.

"That's the best," Li Qing smiled slightly: "You should remember that as long as you pay your taxes in full and don't treat the workers and people harshly, you deserve to be rich;

But if you have a ghost in your heart...... Hehe, it is a felony to disrupt politics with business! ”

"The grass people don't dare!"

"If you don't dare." Li Qingdao said, "Hurry up and sort it out to see if there is anything missing, I won't wait for you when the time comes." ”

"Yes, the grass people will understand."

…

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Li Qing said softly: "Master, will you come with me to Jingshi after the year?" When I go back this time, I won't go around anymore and make you good food every day. ”
