Chapter 63
When Mr. Qin bowed down to ask for advice, he knew that He Shen's talent had been recognized and valued very much.

There is no need to beat around the bush now, He Shen explained directly: "I heard that the second master is planning to open a factory in Tianjin?"

There is no need to worry at this time. Qin Zhongyi nodded and admitted: "Tianjin is an open port and a place where Westernization began. Besides, with Governor Li on the battlefield, I can do things easily."

This sentence reveals a lot of information. It seems that the Qin family belongs to the Beiyang faction. Unfortunately, Li Hongzhang is old and will die of overwork in less than two years.

He Shen continued: "Second Master, it's a good choice for you to choose this place. It can be said that the first to get the better is closer to the water. I think Yuan Shikai is training troops at the small station. Although there are less than [-] soldiers now, due to the limitation of military expenditure, the soldiers are still short of clothing and food. .”

"If you get the support of the Qin family now, you will definitely welcome it, and then arrange for your cronies to enter the new army. When the new army expands, then secretly subsidize it and let him take charge of the army alone. In this way, you will have military power!"

After hearing the strategy just now, Qin Zhongyi fell into deep thought, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, He Shen's impression of him was once again lowered. He should do extraordinary things at critical moments. How could he be so indecisive?

It seemed like he was going to add more fuel to the fire, so he urged: "Second Master, it's time to cut it off! I think Yuan Shikai, with his informant skills, will soon be in charge of the government and experience it, and he will definitely be the chief minister when he returns to Beijing in the future. If you go to seek refuge at that time, people may not think highly of the Qin family."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhongyi seemed to be waking up from a dream, and his eyes looking at He Shen suddenly became extremely firm.

Then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for your advice. It's all Qin's fault for being stupid. This is a good idea!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Since you have accepted and deeply expressed the kindness of offering advice, you should express it.

Qin Zhongyi said without hesitation: "With your talents, committing yourself to a teahouse is like a pearl covered in dust. It is better to serve as an advisor to guests in Qin's house, so that I can ask for advice from time to time."

It seems that the goal is about to be achieved, but due to the limitations of the system's tasks, the teahouse must continue to open.

He Shen explained a little more euphemistically: "The teahouse is an ancestral property. Before my father passed away, I promised to continue running the teahouse and pass it on to future generations."

Second Master Qin took a closer look and found that this was not a rejection, but had a deeper meaning.

After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this! Since it's been entrusted to me by my elders, I can't give up. Why don't I give the house in the teahouse to my husband, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything."

"Then thank you so much, Second Master!" He Shen did not refuse this time and stood up to thank him.

At this time, the guests of honor were all satisfied. Mr. Qin suddenly became interested and wanted to have a drink with him.

He immediately ordered his servants to prepare wine and serve the dishes, and then exchanged glasses with He Shen, as if they were sorry to see each other so late.

It was approaching midnight.

He Shen was already slightly drunk, so he stood up and left.

Qin Zhongyi immediately asked to stay, but He Shen insisted.

After all, I haven't joined the job yet, so it would be rude to live in the house.

Second Master Qin didn't show any politeness, and immediately ordered the stable to prepare the carriage, which was very thoughtful.

Riding the carriage all the way back to the teahouse, He Shen was so jolted that he almost vomited.

This chassis, this shock absorption, and this suspension are really terrible.

At this point, the front door had been sealed tightly, so I had to go to the back door and knock hard.

Then footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and someone asked through the wooden door: "Who is it?"

"I, Wang Lifa! Li San, open the door quickly."

Then the courtyard door opened, and Li San stuck his head out. He smelled the smell of alcohol on He Shen's body, and quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Shopkeeper, why did you drink so much? Let me help you."

He Shen shook his head vigorously, pushed himself into the backyard, and sat down on the kang as soon as he entered the room.Seeing this, Li San said: "Wait a moment, shopkeeper, I'll make you a bowl of hangover tea."

Just as He Shen was about to refuse, he was already out of the house.

At this moment, he couldn't hold it on anymore and fell sideways on the kang, feeling drowsy and about to fall asleep.

After a while, he vaguely felt that he was being turned around and helped him take off his shirt. The movements were very gentle, like a good wife and mother.

The next day, He Shen woke up from his dream and it was already bright.

He casually touched the coat and saw that the clothes were neatly folded on the bedside.

Then he thought of the woman last night, and He Shen chuckled. It really makes a difference to have a woman at home.

After leaving the house, I saw Li San and two girls cleaning the teahouse.

Seeing the shopkeeper getting up, Li San hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you still dizzy? Shunzi made you a bowl of rotten pork noodles, do you want to make up for it with a few bites?"

Thinking of rotten meat noodles, He Shen frowned, and the tasteless taste of yesterday was still vivid in his mind.

When he was about to refuse, he saw Kang Shunzi's hopeful look, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Bring it to my room."

The little girl immediately picked up the noodles happily and ran into the house in a hurry.

By the time Heshen forced the noodles into his stomach, it was time for the teahouse to open.

Since he had to report to the Qin Mansion today, he called Li San and the two girls over before opening the door.

First he said to this old man: "Li San, you have worked here for more than twenty years. My father saw that you were a down-to-earth man and hardworking. Before he died, he specifically asked me not to treat you badly."

Li Sanyi didn't know why for a while, but when he talked about the shopkeeper Wang, he burst into tears and choked up in his mouth: "I think I was begging in the capital, and I was about to starve to death. The old shopkeeper kindly gave me a bowl of rotten meat." noodle."

"At that time, I was not greedy enough. After eating the noodles, I wanted to find a job here. Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper actually agreed, so I, Li San, can survive today."

He Shen is kind-hearted and attaches great importance to love and justice. Seeing this, He Shen made a decision: "Li San, yesterday I found a job in the Qin Mansion. I am not tired, I am free, and I make a lot of money."

"It's just that I can't take care of this teahouse. Why don't you be the shopkeeper here and just report the accounts to me every day!"

Upon hearing this, Li San was stunned.

Then he was filled with surprise and anxiety, and he opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Shopkeeper, can I do it?"

"I think you can do it! Just leave it like this. You go to work today and take care of these two girls." He Shen couldn't let him refuse and immediately put it on the shelves.

Seeing that Li San was still staring in confusion, he shouted loudly: "Li San, open the business quickly, don't delay the time and annoy the tea guests!"

After regaining consciousness, Li San reluctantly accepted it and immediately went to remove the door panel.

And He Shen put on clean clothes, came out of the teahouse and ran directly to the Qin Mansion.

Maybe it was his first day at work, or maybe Qin Erye treated him differently. He Shen drank tea from morning to night and basically had nothing to do.

Of course, he was not idle either, quietly looking around at everything in the house. At present, it seemed that the Qin family was fully staffed, with all the officials and officials performing their duties, and everything was in order.

In addition, there are as many as a dozen Keqing masters like him in the Qin Mansion. Some make suggestions, some draft manuscripts, some handle case files, and two are proficient in foreign languages.

Most of them are the masters of the long room. After all, they are in the officialdom of intrigue and deceit, and they need someone to remind them all the time.

As for He Shen and several others, they were guest consultants hired by the Second Master Qin.

It mainly involves buying and selling, as well as future factory planning, but He is not very experienced in this area, and besides, he doesn't want to be bossed around.
