East Factory Governor

Chapter 641 It's Almost Peaceful

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said to Pi Gou, "Pi Gou, I know you are loyal. But listen, I want to rule the world and have my own strategy. You just need to bow your head and obey orders. This seat likes smart people. But I don’t like people who are too smart, especially those who like to speculate on what they want, do you understand?”

Leather Gou saw Qin Shuhuai's eyes were full of coldness and boundless hostility, and his heart shuddered slightly.

Immediately said, "Damn this subordinate! This subordinate obeys orders!"

"You go out now. Remember, don't mention this matter to anyone again, or you will be guilty of disturbing the morale of the army, and you know the consequences."

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

After the leather dog went out, Qin Shuhuai said to Lai San'er again, "Get up."

The tone is much better.

Lai San'er got up and stood beside Qin Shuhuai with his hands down, not daring to breathe.

"Lai San'er, did Pigou tell you all this?"

"Yeah. Lai San'er knows he's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It's too stupid to be wrong! If the lord wants to rule the world, he must have a plan, so why don't we talk about it. We just follow the lord step by step. If you are fooling around, that's embarrassing the lord!"

Qin Shuhuai said earnestly, "Lai San'er, it doesn't matter if others don't understand me, but you are my closest person, so you shouldn't follow them and follow others' advice."

"The subordinates know." Lai San'er said hastily.

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and said again, "Go back and watch the leather dog for me secretly. See who he usually contacts with and what he says, and tell me exactly when he comes back."

Lai San'er's face changed slightly, "Master, this... leather dog..."

"Just do it." Qin Shuhuai said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, Lai San'er knows."

After Lai San'er went out, Qin Shuhuai took a deep breath.

Spit out again slowly.

There are so many things to think about, I don’t worry about any of them.

leather dog...

At this time, Chen Qing'er came over and said, "Husband, it's time to eat."

Qin Shuhuai followed her to the dining hall.

The dining hall of the Duke's Mansion is resplendent and luxurious. Not only the tables and chairs are made of high-quality mahogany, but even the tablecloths are made of silk.The bowls on the table are from official kilns, and the chopsticks are from ivory.

These were prepared before they moved here, which shows Chongzhen's intentions.

Every time Qin Shuhuai eats in the dining hall, he feels as if he has passed away.

Prosperity and wealth probably refer to this.

Qi Shi, Chen Qing'er, Chen Shu, Chen Li, and Chen Jing all sat upright and waited for him.

After Qin Shuhuai sat down, he said, "You don't have to wait for me in the future, just eat first."

Qi said solemnly, "How is this possible? You are both the dignified Duke and the head of this family. How can others eat before the head of the family arrives? Shuhuai, the Duke's mansion is no worse than a small family." , you must not be negligent in the family style, otherwise you will fall into the shoes of others, saying that you are not strict in managing the family."

As soon as Qin Shuhuai heard that the Qi family was going to make another big argument, he had no choice but to say quickly, "What grandma said is true, boy remember."

Mrs. Qi nodded, and said again, "Don't think the old woman is nagging. This family tradition is related to future generations, so you can't relax. Shuhuai, you have been leading soldiers and fighting outside for many years, and you are in the world. It's understandable that you don't have time to take care of this matter." .I’m already teaching Qing’er, from now on, no matter how many rooms the Duke’s Mansion has, I can settle it for you, so that you don’t have to worry about it.”

Qi's family is now the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, well-clothed and well-fed, no longer need to worry about the food of a group of children, and began to worry about these things.Now in the Duke's Mansion, everything needs the old lady's nod. A while ago, Butler Qiao moved the bed in a guest room in the East Wing without authorization, and was scolded by Mrs. Qi, saying that he had changed Feng Shui.

Qin Shuhuai knew that the Qi family was afraid that the stable life they managed to get through would be gone someday.

In this world, no matter whether it is the powerful or the common people, there is no peace in their hearts.

When Chen Qing'er heard what Qi said about "several rooms", she immediately gave Qi an unhappy look.

She didn't want the Duke's Mansion to have more "several rooms".

Qi didn't think so, she thought it was inevitable.

If the Duke's Mansion doesn't have many concubines, can it still be called the Duke's Mansion?As long as Chen Qing'er is in the main room, it will be fine.

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Only then did everyone move their chopsticks and eat silently.

It is also Qi's rule not to speak while eating.

But there is an exception, that is, the Patriarch can speak.Once the head of the family has spoken, other people can speak.

Qin Shuhuai said, "Tomorrow I will lead troops to fight against Sichuan, Qing'er, you should take care of your family and don't let grandma get tired."

Chen Qing'er widened her eyes and said, "Going to leave again? Chen Jing, a bastard, asked him this morning, and he still said he didn't know."

Chen Jing hurriedly said, "The Duke of the state has an order not to tell outsiders about military matters."

Chen Qing'er said angrily, "Am I an outsider?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Okay, okay. It won't be too long this time, try to come back in time for the Chinese New Year."

Chen Qing'er said with tears in her eyes, "It's only the end of September now, so it will take several months. The emperor is also the same. My husband needs to be involved in everything. What is he doing with so many soldiers?"

Qi said solemnly, "Qing'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "When this battle is over, it should be peaceful. Let's go back to Huangpi Village and see the villagers."

Chen Qing'er immediately said happily, "Okay, okay! Speaking of which, it's been a year since I went back, but I miss them. Two days ago, the village chief asked someone to send some local products, and asked when you can go back. Yi Anju has been cleaned by each household in turn, just waiting for you to live in it once."

"Yes. We will go when Sichuan is pacified." Qin Shuhuai said seriously.

On September [-]th of the third year of Chongzhen, Qin Shuhuai led [-] martial arts coalition troops to leave Beijing and rush to Sichuan.

Eight days later, the army arrived in Taiyuan.

Lu Xiangsheng, governor of the three sides, went out of the city to greet him as usual.

He came with him, as well as rich merchants and country gentry in Taiyuan City, as well as thousands of common people, all eating pots of oatmeal to welcome Wang Shi.

The prestige of Duke Qin Shuhuai has now spread throughout the country, and the common people are all proud to have met the Duke.

Lu Xiangsheng sent a large number of troops to block the people on both sides of the road and cleared a road into the city.

Qin Shuhuai rode a tall horse and entered the city side by side with Lu Xiangsheng.

Among the crowded crowd, a person suddenly shouted excitedly, "Master Guo, Lord Guo! Do you still remember Cao Min?"

Qin Shuhuai saw that it was Zhang Desheng from Dachang, so he stopped his horse, and cupped his hands at him, "So it's Brother Desheng."

Zhang Desheng didn't expect Qin Shuhuai to greet him specially at this time, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Caomin Zhang Desheng asks Hou Ye to be well! Caomin wishes Hou Ye a victory!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled lightly, "Thank you for your kind words, brother Desheng."

Then he entered the city with Lu Xiang.

After Zhang Desheng got up, he immediately changed into a proud expression.

Sure enough, other wealthy businessmen and gentry cast envious glances at him.

"Desheng, Desheng! Do you know the Duke?"

"Boss Zhang, how did you know the Duke? How could the Duke be so polite to you?"

"It's still Boss Zhang's business is so big that the Duke can recognize him! Admiration, admiration!"

Zhang Desheng enjoyed these compliments very comfortably, then smiled inscrutably, and said, "Speaking of which, I am an old friend with the Duke of the State. Oh, the Lord of the State is a person who values ​​friendship, and now he is an extremely human minister." , but I still haven’t forgotten about us grassroots people.”

At this time, a wealthy businessman asked, "Well, Boss Zhang, can you give us a lead so that we can also meet the Duke?"

"Yes, yes, let us meet, and say that Shanxi merchants want to reward the army. Will the reward work? It doesn't matter how much it costs." Another said immediately.

Zhang Desheng immediately smiled and said, "Boss Wang, Boss Li, it's not that I, Desheng, don't want to, it's that I can't help you. Think about the status of the Duke, and how many things does he have to do all day long? I just want to see him, Then you have to wait in line!"

The implication is that most people don't see the Duke of the State, but they will still meet him when they see him.

Immediately someone said, "Boss Zhang, stop talking, let's go to Zuixianlou for a drink or two."

"Hey, take me with you, let's go and hear how Boss Zhang met the Duke."

Zhang Desheng said with a smile, "Well, the Duke is here. I'm happy today, so let's drink it. But it's agreed, I'll buy the money for the drink, and no one will take it!"

He knew that he couldn't lose this meal today.

Just call him "Brother Desheng" immediately at Duke Guo, and he, Zhang Desheng, will be a gold-lettered signboard in the Shanxi business circle from now on.

For Qin Shuhuai, saying "Brother Desheng" is a casual thing.But in this day and age, the word "brother" carries a lot of weight.

Especially Qin Shuhuai, who was an extremely human minister, called out the word "brother".

These days, if you want to do big business, you have to rely on the mountains.

Now all Shanxi merchants in Taiyuan City know that Zhang Desheng's backer is An Guogong Qin Shuhuai.

Not to mention the Jinshang Group, even Lu Xiangsheng has to give Zhang Desheng some face - of course, Lu Xiangsheng has taken good care of the Zhang family since the last incident.

Of course Qin Shuhuai knew this.

But he just wanted to support the Zhang family.

Daming does not need big landlords, but it needs a large number of capitalists who dare to sail out into the world.

With the Zhang family's courage, financial resources and experience, they will definitely be one of the first batch.
