Furniture Workshop, Rouge Workshop, Spice Workshop......

The Li family's industry covers a wide range, except for animal husbandry, almost all of them are involved, and this inspection took nearly a month.

Hou Mansion, Guest Hall.

Li Qing said: "It's really hard for you." ”

It's good that you know...... Zhu Wanqing was a little arrogant, and said: "Actually, it's okay, when I first took over, I was really in a hurry, but then I got used to it and didn't feel anything." ”

"Hmm...," Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "The Li family industry is involved in too much, although there is no intention of monopoly, but there is a partial monopoly, so it is appropriate to let some of it out." ”

Zhu Wanqing nodded: "I also have plans in this regard, and I am ready to let the furniture industry out, but I can't find anyone to take over for a while." ”

Li Hao was puzzled, "Mother, it is said that there are many people who want to take over our industry!" ”

"There are a lot of people who want to take over, but to those people, isn't it a disguised way to help them monopolize?" Zhu Wanqing rolled her eyes, "In this way, it might as well be in our hands." ”

"That's right." Li Hao nodded sneeringly, and then said in confusion, "However, the young master vigorously supported the Shen family in Baoding Mansion, isn't it also a monopoly?" ”

Li Qing shook his head: "It's different, helping the Shen family just wants people to see this road and move closer to this aspect, not to vigorously support it;

If the development is too fast, if there is a problem, it is inevitable to rush to remedy it;

Helping the Shen family is just an introduction, that's all. Li Qingdao said, "And the Shen family is not far from the Jingshi, the imperial court can pay close attention to its movements, and again, no one in the Shen family is an official in the court." ”

"I see, that's ......" Li Hao suddenly couldn't help but exclaim: "Master Qing, what you think is really thoughtful!" ”

"Hehe, do you need to say that?"

"......" Li Hao asked: "So, in the end, we still have to take the road of monopoly, just make this process as slow and smooth as possible, right?" ”

Li Qing bowed his head: "The son can be taught." ”

Li Hao scratched his head: "Master Qing, I don't understand, since the result orientation must be like this, then why can't it be our family?"

Do you believe in outsiders, but you don't believe in your own people? ”

Li Qing glared at him and snorted, "I don't have a psychological burden to cut outsiders, is this reason enough?!" ”

"Uh..., that's enough." Li Hao was stunned and didn't dare to force it anymore.

After getting along for so long, he couldn't be clearer about this man's temper.

It's not unusual for someone who even dared to stab his grandfather to do anything.

Zhu Wanqing groaned: "Uncle Li, others can be given up, but there are three industries that can't be done, ready-to-wear hats, spices, and rouge;

These three are the best brands to build, and they are all asset-light, which can maximize profits through better operation of the brand!

Yongqing brand sachet and Yongqing brand rouge, these two major categories have not yet had time to develop, but I am very confident in them. ”

Li Qing nodded: "Yes." ”

These three goods are indeed best branded premium.

Hearing this, Zhu Wanqing relaxed and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, it's good if you agree, to be honest, it is really a bit weak to build a brand only by relying on finished clothes, and only by using a three-pronged approach and mutual achievement can it really prosper." ”

"Uncle Li, rest assured, we are taking the high-end boutique route, and we will not affect other businessmen for a long time in the future...... Uh, what's that word for? ”

Li Qing saw that she was thinking hard, and said, "Franchisee." ”

"Yes, when the time comes, we will earn franchise fees, production and supply, in short, our family will always give away part of the profits to others." Zhu Wanqing said seriously.

She knows what is at stake and will not do money-obsessed operations.

I also know that the death-free iron coupon is indeed useful, but once it is used, Uncle Li's identity will be exposed.

The iron coupons issued by the ancestors are all recorded, and they are all exposed as soon as they are used, as Uncle Li said, the iron coupons for avoiding death are just insurance, not dependent.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "I'm relieved of you, but it's ......"

"To me, Master Qing can rest assured." Li Hao said solemnly, "Since the tone has been set, I will naturally abide by it." ”

Li Qing nodded: "Well, there's nothing else, your mother and son are busy with these things, and I should be busy with my business too." ”

"Young Master, what are you busy with?" Li Hao was curious.

"What are you the emperor?" Li Qing teased, "You are idle, ......, your mother is too busy now, do you want to go to Wudang Mountain again?" ”

“…… When I didn't ask. Li Hao's face was dark, he didn't want to pick up big anymore.

Zhu Wanqing asked, "Uncle Li, are you leaving?" ”

"Well, I've been here for a month, and I'm ready to move my muscles." Li Qing said.

Zhu Wanqing smiled bitterly, but she was also used to it, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Now."

“……”

…

~

Wudang Mountain.

Li Qing sorted out Yuzhen with his true qi, and then took the nine Daozi people to Liaodong......

With the previous trial, Li Qing did not hide it this time, and said that it was for the sake of the family and the country.

Hearing this, the nine people accepted it calmly, but also looked forward to it.

March Spring.

The group came to Liaodong again, compared to the cold last time, this time it was simply not too comfortable.

Dao Jiu asked, "Senior brother, what are we going to do?" ”

"Fight smuggling caravans." Li Qing was blunt.

Daoyi groaned: "Yes, you want to kill someone?" ”

"Try not to clash head-on," Li Qing said, "Wudang is a martial arts force, not a military force, and no killing, except in special circumstances." ”

Li Qing wants to fight violence with violence, but he still wants the little junior disciples to maintain a pure and kind heart, even if he really wants to kill people and set fires, then he will do it.

After living for so long, his beliefs and Dao heart are as solid as a rock and will not be affected by external factors, but the junior disciples may not.

Taking them to kill people and set fires, even if it is for the sake of great good, it is difficult to prevent them from falling into the 'devil's path'.

As the saying goes: learn well for three years, learn bad for three days.

They are just helpers, Li Qing is the real sanctioner, and the power of life and death cannot be easily delegated.

Unless circumstances do not allow.

……

Liaodong Frontier,

This is a barren land, uninhabited, but there are many traces of life, there are rut marks, horseshoe prints, and human footprints.

To be precise, this is beyond the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

All the way to the coast, Japan is close at hand, and the weather is so clear that you can almost see the other side.

"It is indeed convenient to smuggle from here to Japan, but the cost of long-distance transportation by land is only more than five times that of waterways, and the profit from not paying taxes may not be able to make up for the wasted cost, so it seems that the profit from trading with Japan is really not small......

Li Qing muttered softly.

They were late, the smuggling caravan had already gone to sea, and judging from the traces left behind, it was estimated that it was being sold.

However, it is so close to Japan that even the influence of the monsoon can be ignored.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the merchant ships will return.

Sure enough, only half a month later, wave after wave of merchant ships came from the Sea of Japan and docked on the shore, the merchant ships were not very large, but they were super numerous, and they were dizzying, and all kinds of lanterns were hung on the masts, each with writing on them, to distinguish them.

Moreover, this is not all, in the extreme distance, there are merchant ships approaching one after another.

Li Qing looked at this scene from afar and couldn't help but be shocked.

He didn't expect that the scale of the smuggling caravan would be so huge.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Dao Yi asked,

He was a little nervous, as were the other eight people.

There are too many merchant ships, too many people, and the artists are bold, but there is always a limit.

In the current situation, the real anger is not enough to see!

Li Qing groaned and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll go to inquire about the situation in the evening, and then make a decision when I come back, don't worry, I won't do anything that I am not sure of." ”

The nine people nodded slowly, their expressions were full of concern, it wasn't for their timidity, it was really too big for the other party.

Night.

Li Qing changed into a night suit and quietly touched the merchant ship......

There are Japanese people, there are Han people, and there are women.

Some of the ships are extravagant, noisy and drunk, while others are very quiet......

After visiting more than a dozen merchant ships in a row, Li Qing figured out a rough idea.

The smuggling caravans here are cooperated by merchants and bandits, Han and Japanese people, and wholly owned by Han merchants...... There were even Jurchens.

However, the status of the Jurchens is very low, and they almost all participate in smuggling as bodyguards, selling their strength and earning hard-earned money.

When they returned, they brought enough supplies, and they ate and drank on the ship, and they were leisurely and comfortable, and some of them were even lascivious all day long, so happy.

The fact that he saw no less than 30 Japanese Kabuki shows the huge profits of smuggling into Japan.

The smuggled goods have not yet arrived, and they do not forget to enjoy them while waiting.

'These people are really good, and they have even opened a new route......

Li Qing secretly sneered, turned around and walked towards the shelter.

The merchant ships are all docked, and if you want to come, the smuggled goods are also coming.

Time is running out and you have to move fast.

~

It's night.

The nine Daozi people, like Li Qing, all changed into night clothes.

For the first time, they did something shady and unsightly, even if they knew that they were doing a good deed, they still couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

"Senior brother, I'll scuttle the boat later, and don't do anything else, right?" Dao Jiu is the youngest and the most nervous.

Li Qing nodded and said with relief: "Don't be afraid, you see that those sentry posts are drunk and asleep, as long as you don't make too many moves, you will be fine." ”

Dao Yi hesitated: "What about hundreds of merchant ships, it's the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's too busy?" ”

"I can't finish it tonight, but I will chisel it tomorrow night." Li Qing said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, is there still a chance?"

Li Qing smiled: "You all have true qi by your side, there is nothing to be afraid of, there are many of them, we can't beat them, can't we run away?" ”

Li Qing formulated a tactic, "If we are discovered, we will run, and when they relax and continue to scuttle, try to scuttle all these boats for him, and let them engage in smuggling!" ”

Starting from merchant ships, it is simple and crude but has miraculous effects, and the junior disciples are all martial arts masters, which is most suitable for fighting guerrilla flexible tactics.

No matter how capable the smuggling caravans were, they could still be caught blind without merchant ships, and even though it was very close to Japan, it had to cross the sea, and there was no other way.

"Let's go, scuttle the boat!"
