The rise of the prince

Chapter 252 Tianjuan Ding's Family + The Biggest Arrangement
The sun is scorching hot, the small yard is fragrant with plum blossoms and peach blossoms, and the birds are chirping. The building is wrapped in a quilt and leaning on the pear wood official hat chair in his early years. After being frightened by Ding Yi last time, his complexion is getting worse and worse , the two servant girls continued alchemy under his command.

After a while, Qifang came in armed, and came in, picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea and drank a few cups.

"Father, the city defense patrol has been arranged. The spies reported to Ding Yi that the Suzhou army advance to the north of Lengfengqing and stationed at the north of Lengfengqing. It is only about [-] miles away from Luzhou City, and it will arrive in one day." She returned out of breath.

"What about Ding Feng?" Qidong asked weakly.

"Still occupying the main hall, let us send food in every day, except for Lazard." Qi Fang gritted his teeth. Ding Feng was sent by Ding Yi to monitor them. Kicking out Qidong, sitting there day and night, even sleeping, is simply too deceiving.

Qidong's face was ugly, but in the end he shook his head helplessly, "Perhaps I should have listened to you in the first place. If the outcome is not decided, go to Suzhou as soon as possible, and it doesn't stop there."

Seeing her father's grief, Qifang comforted her, "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing, if you stand on the side of Suzhou and start a family for me, it will cause disaster for me."

"Hehe, Zhaocao" Qidong shook his head: "Look at Ding Yi, he is in his twenties, and look at his means and skills. If you say against him, is there any way for us to start a family? If we stand in the past early, now we can only fight against him." I'm afraid it will look different again."

Qidong blamed himself very much, Qifang sighed, it was too late: "Father, the world is unpredictable, maybe the court."

"Hmph, the imperial court?" Qidong shook his head sadly, "Do you still remember what Ding Yi said, if the imperial court got him, he would still be alive and kicking? Do you think the words are right?"

Qi Fang suddenly had nothing to say, she thought she had the means, ability, and decisiveness to kill, and she was in her early twenties, but compared with Ding Yi, she really was nothing.

"It seems that God favors his Ding family, and there is such a capable person as Ding Yi, everything is God's will!" Qidong looked up at the sun and said.

Both father and daughter felt a deep sense of powerlessness for a moment.

The two of them stared at each other for several minutes.

Suddenly, Ji Chunsheng took a step forward and stabbed straight with the spear in his hand. The spear was too fast, and he could vaguely see a point.

Li Xingzhou does not advance but retreats. Physical confrontation is the most taboo to retreat. Retreating represents psychological weakness and fear. There is a nine out of ten chances of defeat. The spear in his hand subconsciously blocks it, and catches up with the trend. The tip of the spear has already bypassed Ji Chunsheng's spear. .

In a short moment, the outcome has been decided.

Ji Chunsheng's gun was swung by him, and it was aimed sideways, but the force was too great, and it still hit his waist and ribs, but his gun hit Ji Chunsheng's chest, Ji Chunsheng was hit by the huge force, and instantly retreated, and the gun followed the trend Get off his waist.

Even so, there was still a burning pain in his waist. If there was a gun head, his ribs might be broken. Ji Chunsheng had much more strength than him. Just now he took a trick, Ji Chunsheng used brute force.

Ji Chunsheng also sat on the ground with his hands on his chest. Both of them were wearing armor, but this armor was no better than later generations' protective gear made of composite materials.

"Uncle Ji, are you okay?" Li Xingzhou reluctantly gave him a hand, and Ji Chunsheng waved his hand: "It's okay, Shizi is amazing! Much stronger than before."

"Hahaha." He smiled smugly, but when he laughed, his ribs hurt so much that he bowed his back.

"Your Majesty, these are all made by you practicing Bajiquan." Ji Chunsheng covered his chest and grinned.

He nodded: "That's right, there are many techniques, but most of them are tricks." If he was really facing several people at the same time, his tricks would not work. On the contrary, people like Ji Chunsheng relied on his excellent body Quality, you can gallop freely.

Ji Chunsheng said: "You can't say that. The son is not as strong as me, but he can beat me with these skills. If he had loaded a gun, I would have died just now."

"Hahaha." Li Xingzhou: "I can't survive either."

If there was a gun head, there is a high probability that his ribs would be broken just now. Once the ribs are broken, the lungs are likely to be injured. Under the medical conditions of this era, the bone marrow will flow into the blood, causing inflammation and fever. And an ugly death.If the lung lobes are injured, it is even more hopeless.

The reason why war is terrible, but many people can hardly feel its horror when watching movies and TV dramas or books is because these media cannot describe a terrible place. Other violations are extremely damaging to people's minds.

Li Xingzhou remembers the first time he was shot. Because he was betrayed, the police ambushed them. In the forest on the side of the border road, it was night, and the forest was full of gunshots and dazzling lights. Running wildly, there is no time to turn back.

After running for 10 minutes and escaping from the border, he felt that his legs were getting more and more painful and heavy, and finally numb, uncontrollable and unable to walk at all. He stopped and checked by the light of a lighter and found that his thighs were After being shot, the muscles began to contract, the pain was excruciating, and I could no longer stand up.

The human body is a compact and scientific system, complex and fragile, capable of self-regulation and recovery, but because it is a whole system, the chain reaction caused by trauma can easily affect the whole body, and the harm will gradually spread.

Immediate death on the battlefield is the greatest mercy.

But the reality is often more cruel. Once a person is shot, as long as he is hit and driven dry, it is almost impossible to save him, but there is a [-]% chance that he will not die immediately. He has seen people who have been shot more than a dozen times and can survive.

The cruelty is that the living who know that they are going to die, but are still in pain, wait helplessly and desperately to die.This kind of depression and psychological collapse is unbearable for many people. They will be afraid and collapse. If they die directly, it will be much easier.

Like the one just now, if it came true, although he used his skills to win half of the moves, both he and Ji Chunsheng would die, the difference was that Ji Chunsheng died happily, while he died painfully.

It took a while for Ji Chunsheng to recover, his chest was probably bruised, but in this age, this kind of injury is nothing to him, "My lord, I will go south with you in two days."

"How can I do that, Uncle Ji, you are now a martial arts envoy." Li Xingzhou smiled.

Ji Chunsheng has high martial arts skills and a very strong physique.There is no need to doubt that he is a rare hero who really goes to the battlefield to fight for his life, but he doesn't have that much thought, so he is destined not to be a general who leads troops.The emperor probably valued him so much that he let him take over Wu Desi.

Of course Li Xingzhou wanted to take Ji Chunsheng with him, not to mention that he would be safer with him, and more importantly, he would have someone he could trust, but he also knew that this was impossible, and the emperor would not agree to it.

"What kind of nonsense martial arts envoy, he rides a horse around the city all day long, basking in the sun, and someone comes to support him twice, like a watchdog." Ji Chunsheng said dissatisfiedly, the words are very straightforward, if you have the heart After hearing this, most people can sue him for disrespect.

"Uncle Ji, it's fine if you're in the capital, I'm relieved to have you in the palace to take care of me." Li Xingzhou said while clutching his waist and ribs, where the pain was still burning, and there were probably bruises under the leather armor.

Ji Chunsheng grinned: "What's the matter, son, just go, I will take care of the palace, and whoever dares to make trouble will wrench his head off."

"Hahaha, that's not necessary, but Uncle Ji, if something happens, you must calm down. It's better not to kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary. You are now a martial arts envoy, but someone is watching your position."

"I know, don't worry, son!" Ji Chunsheng said indifferently.

The Zhiyuelou Chamber of Commerce went well. This was Li Xingzhou's biggest arrangement before going south, and it was also the most spacious road paved for outsiders from the palace.

Although Shiyu was still a little dissatisfied, under Li Xingzhou's persuasion, he agreed to host the meeting.

In fact, all the businessmen want to grab this source of income, and they all know how the general brew and perfume make money.

So there were a lot of businessmen present, not only around the capital, but also from the Jiangzhou generation, as well as the southern Guazhou, Jingnan, and Guanbei.

This time, even Li Xingzhou was present in person.

It is to show that the palace attaches great importance to it, and to reduce the situation of businessmen lying and neglecting. Finally, [-] companies were selected to cooperate with them. The reason for this is that Li Xingzhou has carefully weighed it, and it is necessary to pave the way for the future development of the palace and lay the groundwork.

These eighteen merchants are all engaged in production and sales, and most of them are big merchants who travel to and from many places.

For example, Jing Xitian's family, they are not only imperial merchants, but sometimes they also do business with outsiders. They are powerful and have many shops of their own.

The Can family of Ningjiang Mansion in Jiangzhou has strong strength and a great background. The two sons who participated are called Ningjiang Shuanglong.

The eldest son, Shensheng, was a co-prefect of Yantiesi at that time, and held a high position at a young age.The second son, Shen Yinfeng, is a well-known talented person in Jiangzhou. He is known as the number one talented person in Jiangzhou. Last time, he met Li Xingzhou at the Shangyuan Poetry Meeting in Yongyue Pavilion. I saw you again at this banquet today.

There is also the Wang family of Ningjiang Mansion, which is a branch of the Degong family.The origin is Degong's fourth younger brother, Gillian's fourth grandfather. At first he served as a county magistrate in Ningjiang Prefecture, but he was not as capable as Degong. In the end, he only became the director of Ningjiang Prefecture and died of illness in Jiangzhou.

Later, the second son of his sons was more talented in business, and gradually settled down in Jiangzhou. Today, he has become a big businessman in Jiangzhou.Although not as good as the San family, Li Xingzhou still included them for the sake of Degong and Gillian.

Then there are the Dong family in Guanbei, the He family in Yanmen Prefecture, and the Huai family in Guazhou.

The [-] major merchants Wangfu will wholesale to them the unique products of the Fuzhong, General Niang and perfume, but as a condition, they must pay half of the deposit at the beginning of each month, and the goods will be paid in full. At the same time, they are not allowed to sell in Kaiyuan City.The first phase of cooperation lasts for one year and will be renewed upon expiration.

During the period, the monthly supply of the palace depends on the output situation. Each month, each supplier supplies no less than [-] pieces of general wine, no limit to more, no less than [-] pieces of perfume, no limit to more, and the wholesale price is at least lower than the market price. Twelve taels, the place of delivery is in Zhenbao Pavilion.

After that, both parties signed and pledged on the spot. In order to relieve the worries of many businessmen, Li Xingzhou even signed the pledge himself instead of letting poetry replace it.

Many merchants who were not selected were frowning, while the eighteen big merchants who were favored by the Wangfu were elated. They had been coveting for a long time, and finally they could justifiably share the cake with the Wangfu.

Li Xingzhou is naturally happy, which means that overnight, he sold 360 pieces of general wine and 20 pieces of perfume. If all deliveries are correct, this is a big deal of [-] taels!

In the future, this will be a guaranteed sales volume, and the things of the Palace will follow the [-] big merchants to the north and south of the river, even outside the Jing Dynasty, and their reputation will only become more and more famous.

Shiyu looked a little unhappy, Li Xingzhou gently pulled her to his side, he understood this woman's worry, she was worried that if she sold it like this, the secret would be exposed, and someone would imitate the same product.

Li Xingzhou gently pulled her to the corner: "Do you know what is the most difficult thing in the world?"

Shiyu gave him a blank look: "The most difficult thing to do is to reason with you."

He laughed, took a sip of the fine wine from the golden bottle and said, "The most difficult thing in the world is the thing that you don't know in advance whether it will be possible or not.

Many things are not impossible, but dare not do, because I don't know whether the investment will have results.

It's like new things, new products, you don't know if you invest so much money in research and exploration, whether it will succeed in the end, whether you can make money back, so the safest way is to imitate popular products, or wait and see others, to see their Whether it can succeed or not is a decision. "

"You know how dare you do this." Shiyu gave him a dissatisfied look.

Li Xingzhou gently pulled her down, let her sit down beside him, and then poured wine for her, "But what if it succeeds? The first person who succeeds always benefits the most, and the benefits are gradually diminishing. The one who can benefit the most is always the original pioneer.”

"But you just said that it's a gamble, and I don't know if it will work." Shiyu immediately retorted.

She has a clear mind and is well-founded, but it's a pity that the person opposite her opened up
"Believe it or not, I know a lot of things. In my mind, there are many things that I don't need to take the risk of whether they will be possible, because I know they will definitely be possible." Li Xingzhou said confidently.

That's right, this is his greatest advantage, thousands of years of knowledge and experience, so that he doesn't have to bear the risks of exploration.

Just like the United States was the first to build an atomic bomb, it must be more difficult than any other country. Before that, it has never been built. They have a theory, but before the atomic bomb exploded, even Einstein couldn’t guarantee that it would have that. Without this kind of destructive power, it can explode [-]% successfully.

Will such a costly and time-consuming project come to nothing in the end?
This kind of risk is very big, as a pioneer explorer must bear it.

Later, the atomic bomb was really built, and the United States, the pioneer, benefited the most.

Even if the Soviet Union, European countries, and China successively possess nuclear weapons, the benefits that can be obtained through nuclear weapons are by no means as great as those of the United States.

But now Li Xingzhou does not need to take the risk of being a pioneer when facing new things, because he already knows that this thing can be done.

Doing things is not afraid of time-consuming and labor-intensive work. The most fearful thing is not knowing whether it will be successful. If you know in advance that it will be successful, then why worry about it?
But Shiyu didn't know, so she was very worried. She was afraid that after losing the general brew and perfume, the palace would be unsustainable.

She stared at Li Xingzhou for a long time, seeing his expression and felt that she was talking nonsense.

"Hehe, you think you are a fairy."

"I don't dare to be a god, but I'm still half of them. You can call me Li Banxian in the future." Li Xingzhou replied with a smile.

"Irregular!"

"."

After drinking for three rounds, Li Xingzhou stood up and walked to the center of the pavilion. His every move attracted everyone's attention. Seeing him coming over, he seemed to have something to say, and everyone present tacitly fell silent.

Li Xingzhou cupped his hands: "Everyone, thank you for joining us tonight."

"Where is it, the prince is polite, it is obviously the prince who gave us a new way of making money." Shen Yinfeng below quickly flattered with a smile on his face.

"Yeah"

"Young Master Shen is right."

"."

Immediately agreed, it was all flattery, although Li Xingzhou was only 16 years old, he had seen this kind of scene a lot, he smiled and said: "Tonight we are talking about business, nothing else.

Frankly speaking, I came here personally tonight to tell you how much my Prince Xiao's Mansion values ​​reputation. "

He spoke, and everyone fell silent again and listened.

"I can let my servants come to discuss with you, and I will definitely be able to sign a business contract at that time, and then take away your money, and then I will not accept the account, as long as I casually say that the servant who signed the business contract is not what I mean , You must have nothing to do with me, after all, I am the emperor's grandson, you can do whatever you want with me." Li Xingzhou said jokingly, spreading his hands.

Everyone hurriedly said, "How could the son be such a person?"

"Yes, yes, the son has a high moral character and a great reputation."

"We can trust the Maharaja."

"."

Li Xingzhou waved his hand to calm them down: "I know what outsiders say about me, so you don't have to be nervous. I have already visited Zhiyue Tower tonight, and the signature is also my own. I just want to tell you that I am Xiaowang Mansion. Doing business has always attached great importance to credibility, as one word, since you have signed the business contract, the palace will never go back on its word, so you can rest assured when doing business with my Prince Xiaofu."

Hearing his words, many people were relieved and quickly flattered him.

Speaking of this, he changed the topic, his soft eyes became cold and severe, and he scanned the audience, and everyone fell silent as soon as he saw it.

Li Xingzhou continued in a loud voice: "But please keep in mind that the palace values ​​credibility, which does not mean that the palace has no temper. There are rumors everywhere in Beijing, so I don't need to repeat them.

When doing business, one party can't do business if one party insists on credibility, and both parties can only rely on credibility, so that we can benefit from each other and make things bigger together.If someone intentionally causes trouble and breaks the contract.
I have thousands of forbidden troops in my hands, and the palace has countless masters. If I can really escape to the ends of the earth, then I will be powerless, but if there are no ends in this world, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

16-year-old children are taller and stronger than ordinary children, but they don't look like 16-year-olds at all.

Li Xingzhou is condescending, speaks clearly, speaks clearly, looks around everyone lightly, and finishes all the words without rushing. For a while, everyone present is obviously a big businessman who has experienced many scenes, but they all feel it. An irresistible pressure, as if it was difficult to breathe, did not dare to speak easily, but subconsciously nodded in agreement.

At the same time, I was also amazed in my heart, the tiger father has no dogs!
