After the ministers left, Li Jun rubbed his brows in distress, for the matter of Xungui was actually as early as the eighth year of Xuancheng, he wanted to deal with it, but the Empress Dowager Yang, who has never been involved in political affairs, expressed her attitude very resolutely, and the descendants of the Li family must not be lazy, which is also the reason why the court has written several times before to reduce Xungui and he did not take care of it.

In her old man's opinion, these descendants of the Li family are the most solid backing of the royal family, if something goes wrong in the future, it is also the most reliable way back, if you offend this group of people now, it is naturally difficult to support it alone with your own vein, Li Jun naturally has a different attitude towards this, there are many royal relatives and nobles in history who set themselves up as kings when the opportunity is ripe, and even overthrow the existing court, not to mention the help, it is good not to stab you when you are in trouble, not to mention that behind these crises are most likely these people who are making waves。

Concubine De was holding a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, which the emperor usually likes to drink, and walked to Li Jun with a light step, put down the things in her hand and said: "Concubine has prepared your favorite soup, drink it while it's hot!"

Li Jun smiled: "I know best I am none other than Concubine De!" After that, he picked up the spoon and drank it.

"In a few days, the queen mother's birthday will come, and the concubines are worried about not knowing what to prepare, so Your Majesty might as well give me some ideas. ”

"The queen mother has been pure and has few desires over the years, and she is dedicated to the Buddha, she has never seen any rare treasures in this life, as long as you prepare with your heart, you will be happy if you want to come to the queen mother. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and An'er's child also said so, saying that from the hands of an ascetic monk in the Western Regions, he found a peerless and unique book of Buddhism that is not passed down to the outside world, and he should like it when he comes to the queen mother. ”

"Oh, the fourth child has a heart, but why did he only look at you as the queen mother when he came to the palace, but ignored me, the father?"

Concubine De saw Li Jun's face raised, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not that this kid doesn't want you, it's just that the last time he opened his mouth to persuade His Majesty, you didn't like it, for fear that after you saw him, you would think of those unhappy things, so I couldn't bear not to come to see you." ”

"In this way, he has a heart, but this kid has made great achievements in arithmetic since he was a child, and there are really some ideas here that I want to discuss with him, so I will announce that he will enter the palace. ”

"Whoa!"

Qin Han left the imperial capital silently with the swallow, but he still didn't hide it from the iron hand, as soon as he left the city gate, Xu Huang rushed up with two school officials, looked at Qin Han's face and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Qin Han nodded heavily and said nothing, Xu Huang didn't say anything when he saw this, after changing his clothes, he hired a carriage and the five of them slowly drove towards Yancheng, Qin Han didn't expect that he would leave the imperial capital in such a hurry, he thought that he would stay for half a year no matter what, but he didn't want to stay here for a minute at this moment.

There was no laughter in the carriage, Yanzi was very sensible and just silently accompanied Qin Han, looking at the scenery that was gradually moving away next to the carriage, Qin Han knew that it would not be long before he would set foot on this land again, his fate seemed to be frozen, but the road ahead was blank, the majestic imperial capital seemed to be like a hospitable host, greeting the crowd from all directions, and it was like a gluttonous man who didn't know what to eat, looking at everything around him.

"Does Lord Wang Qi know over there?" After a long time, Qin Han said softly.

"Got it, didn't say anything. ”

Qin Han's cognition of him seems to have stayed in his childhood, until that conversation with himself, he can't say how deep his feelings are, but he is not too bland, in short, it is very complicated, until now Qin Han still can't figure out whether he led himself to the Inspector's Mansion, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, after Qin Han has been rejecting it, but he knows that some things cannot be determined by everything that happens in front of him, just like when you were young, your parents urged you to read and write, and go to school every day, none of which you like, but can you think that this is wrong just by that？

Qin Han's character has been somewhat frozen since his previous life, always adapting to everything around him, powerless to change, and he doesn't want to change, until he comes to Daqin, it is still like this, it is nothing more than having a good background, eating and drinking without worry, but now these are like a mirror, they may cease to exist at any time, and a happy life is born by the struggle of both hands, this sentence has always been in my heart, but now I finally understand that maybe people will make all the changes accordingly at the moment of crisis, others are like this, Qin Han is the same, until this moment he really wants to change himself, change the environment of his life, maybe change the entire Daqin。

......

Spring and autumn are really the most suitable seasons for hurrying, Qin Han returned to Yancheng in less than seven days, and did not stay too much when passing by Xu Yang, which was not the same as the original plan, but Qin Han did not forget his promise, and after telling Xu Huang his requirements, he ordered someone to contact the person in charge of the local inspector's office, which may be difficult to reach the sky in the eyes of Lan Mengdie, but in the eyes of these people, it is just a matter of words.

After the simple reunion of the family, Qin Feng told Lin Ergou about coming to the house every day a few days ago, with an anxious look, even Qin Feng could see that something big had happened, Qin Han, the main family, naturally would not pretend to be deaf and dumb after learning about it, so he hurried to Lin Ergou.

After listening to his grievances with a pale face, Qin Han was silent, making Lin Ergou think that he had done something wrong, and he was trembling and silent, along the way, Qin Han made all kinds of assumptions about his future and the future of his family, but no matter what, Lin Ergou's link was unobtainable, and naturally he would not allow such a thing as dying before leaving the school.

So he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for you, such a big mess is left to you alone." ”

Lin Ergou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "What the young master said, it's just my business, that is, the net profit now is more than two percent less than before." ”

Qin Han frowned, a loss of more than two percent is not a small amount, if it continues like this, he doesn't know when his plan will be put on the agenda, so he said: "Is this Yancheng Chamber of Commerce really so powerful?

Lin Ergou smiled bitterly: "Young master, the scale of the Yancheng Chamber of Commerce can be said to cover the entire Rubei, Qianhai, Anhua, and Jinzhou, and there are also a lot of industries in it, and even the incomparably rich Jiangnan Province has been slightly penetrated, we are not an exaggeration to say that it is an ant in front of others, and now it is just a random punishment from others." ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Han's expression was even more gloomy, to put it bluntly, it was due to his lack of strength and lack of authority, so he said: "You help me make an appointment with that Wan shopkeeper, and I will talk to him face to face, I may be helpless against those leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, but it is more than enough to deal with him." ”

Lin Ergou looked at him suspiciously, he hadn't forgotten what he had said in the first ten days, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just posted according to Qin Han's instructions, since the master family is here, he still shouldn't worry too much about it.

On the afternoon of the second day, Qin Han sat alone in the private room, I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, it was the same private room as last time, Qin Han had no doubt that the other party would turn a blind eye to his invitation, and who could do business to this point, which one was not an eight-sided exquisite, with what he had done before, I am afraid that he had already guessed his identity, Qin Han did not believe that a small businessman would not give face to the Inspector's Office.

Sure enough, it didn't take a while, and the shopkeeper, accompanied by Lin Ergou, walked in with a proud look on his face, but after seeing Qin Han, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "The old man has seen Qin Gongzi, and he is really the dragon and phoenix among people, and he has this industry at a young age, and he admires it." ”

"Uncle Wan is polite. With that, he glanced at them, and the two of them were the only ones left in the room.

Hearing Qin Han call him so, the shopkeeper Wan was very useful, so he spoke more kindly, and after the two of them were false and wronged for a while, Qin Han poured tea for the other party and said: "The little nephew has just entered the business circle, and he doesn't know a lot of things, so he has to rely on Uncle Wan to carry it!"

"This is natural, as long as I can help my nephew, I will not shirk it. ”

"I was not in the house a few days ago, and the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce was unfortunately missed, it's not that I don't follow the rules, and there is no way to do some things, I think Uncle Wan should have an understanding of me, and it doesn't matter if you make a little money and spend it, but you can't make trouble for your family, after all, some of the court's yamen have many rules, and I hope Uncle will forgive me." ”

Shopkeeper Wan looked at Qin Han's harmless face and extremely modest words, his eyes narrowed unnaturally, they naturally knew about Qin Han's family background, as for why he could still make such a move, no one knew, the existence of this level of the Inspector's Mansion, he was not even a middle-level member in the Chamber of Commerce, he was really not enough contact, just know not to provoke them.

But from the soft knife in Qin Han's words, he could still tell one or two, so he said with a smile: "Nephew Xian's words are naturally true, and I will naturally convey your attitude truthfully." ”

"The little nephew is here to thank Uncle Wan, and there is one more thing to ask Uncle Wan to raise his noble hand. ”

Although the shopkeeper Wan knew what Qin Han was going to say, he still pretended not to know and said, "Huh, I don't know where to start with raising your noble hand?"

"Uncle is a businessman, and he also knows that the biggest expense of this business is undoubtedly the cost of the store, the cost of manpower and the cost of materials, but now the cost of materials has nearly doubled, how can this business be done?"

"It's really hard to do!"

"So no matter whether the uncle knows about this matter or not, I ask the uncle to help me or two. ”

"No problem, as long as I can help, I will naturally do my best, but after all, I am only a low-level errand runner in the Chamber of Commerce, and sometimes I am also powerless!"

Listening to the other party's smiling response, Qin Han sneered in his heart and then said: "It's okay, if I can't help, I'll ask my father's friends to help, maybe I can know something unknown." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, the cold sweat left down his neck, and he sneered: "Uncle will definitely give you an answer!"
