Horse on the World

Chapter 388 Dingzhou Internal Affairs (3)

"Have you made a lot of money in the past few years? I heard from Mr. Fu, the debt secretary, that you bought 100 taels of silver in one go this time just for five-year bonds?" Li Qing asked flatly.

Long Sihai's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly glanced at Li Qing, but the other party's face was calm, and there was really no sign of happiness or anger.Cautiously said: "Thanks to the care of the commander in the past few years, the villain has indeed made a lot of money, but the villain dare not forget the money he has made, knowing that the villain is today because of the care of the commander, so the villain I bought some more bonds so that I can contribute a little bit to my lord's great cause!"

Li Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said with a half-smile, "If it's a meager effort, then the person who bought the bond doesn't know how to deal with it? Master Lu, I heard that you also bought this kind of bond?"

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "Compared to Mr. Long, I don't need to mention my little money. I have accumulated a few years in a humble job, and I only have less than 1 taels of silver. This time I took it all out to buy a five-year bond. , now I’m penniless, and I’m all pointing at the commander-in-chief to pay for it!”

Long Sihai's face changed color, "Yes, yes, the villain is not meager, the villain bought too much, the villain must buy less next time!" His voice trembled, and the words came out, and he felt that the taste was not right, " No, no, that's not what the villain means, I'm a villain, I'm a villain..." I was stunned for a moment, I don't know how to say this!

Seeing that Long Sihai's face was pale and his body was trembling a little, Li Qing put the lid on the tea and said softly: "Mr. Long, don't worry, that's not what I meant. You made money, bought more bonds, supported Dingzhou, supported me, Li Qing, Li Qing is very moved."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, this is what a villain should do!" Long Sihai was still in shock, and he didn't know what Li Qing was thinking about this level.

Li Qingdao: "You have made a lot of money in the past few years, and your status is not the same as before, but I heard some complaints that you now have to get involved in almost all industries and invest in shares everywhere. Many commercial firms already accounted for most of the shares, is there such a thing?"

Beads of sweat oozed from Long Sihai's forehead, the dislike of the handsome man of affection was here, he felt that his hand was stretched too long.

"It is of course a good thing to have money to invest and let the money flow, but have you ever thought about it? There are many businessmen who don't like your participation, but due to your current status, you dare not refuse to do so. In the eyes of outsiders, you Mr. Long is now Li Qing's royal merchant. As soon as Mr. Long opened his mouth, he was 1 unwilling and dared not to refuse, so he could only admit it with his nose." Li Qing said in a long tone.

"The villain doesn't dare anymore, I won't dare again." Long Sihai knelt down in front of Li Qing with a puff, "Marshal, although I bought the shares, to be honest, I didn't force them, villain, go back Withdraw immediately afterwards."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mr. Long, with your current status and your weight in front of the commander, you still need to force him there!"

Li Qingdao: "Get up, it's good to know that you are wrong, and deal with this matter well after you go back. Mr. Long, doing business is not about broadness but precision. There are tens of thousands of businesses in the world. You are involved in every line of business. You have the energy Is it? Besides, Yu Xiaotian's reputation will be greatly disadvantaged!"

Long Sihai was already sweating profusely at this time, "What the commander taught is that the villain will do this right away after he returns."

"Get up!" Li Qingwen said in a loud voice: "This time you have explored the cotton planting experience, don't cherish it with a broom, you should generously announce your planting technology to the world, let more people participate, and greatly increase the cotton production. As for me Don’t hide the spinning machine for you, you can unite more people to do this. More people are more powerful, and more people are easier to handle. This kind of spinning workshop can let more people do it , and you, you might as well be the leader of these workshops, responsible for promotion and sales, and everyone earning money is the right thing to do. Otherwise, this kind of spinning machine technology is not a big deal, and experts can imitate it after a few glances. At that time, others will rush forward and form vicious competition, but they will not be able to make any money!"

Long Sihai kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times, "The commander-in-chief is right, the villain has remembered it all."

"That's all right, all right, don't be a knuckler anymore, Xiaotian is now an official with status, let him have some respect, get up, go back and think about what I said!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Commander!" Long Sihai kowtowed a few more times before standing up, sweating profusely and saying goodbye to Li Qing.

Seeing Long Sihai staggering out of the side hall, Lu Yiming smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief's beating today, Long Sihai should know how powerful it is."

Li Qingdao: "I support him in order to curb those old big merchants. Those merchants have inexplicable connections with high-ranking lords. The rise of Long Sihai can effectively check and balance them, but I don't want to form a new one." Wealthy oligarch, you can see that he can spend millions of taels of silver to buy bonds at one time. You can know how much wealth he has accumulated in the past few years. It is not a good thing for a person to have too much wealth. Balance is in line with our Long term benefits!"

Lu Yiming nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, Long Sihai has accumulated a lot of wealth, and the commander-in-chief is vigorously supporting Long Xiaotian, if it is not restrained, it may only take decades, and another new family will rise. This is not good for the future career of the coach.”

Li Qing smiled and said nothing, Lu Yiming could say these things, but he was inconvenient to admit it publicly, even in private, he was unwilling to tell his subordinates bluntly too early.

"Marshal, how did you come up with this kind of spinning machine?" Lu Yiming had been circling this question in his mind, so he took the opportunity to ask it.

Li Qing said with a smile: "If I say that it was taught by a god in a dream, would you believe it?"

"I believe it!" Lu Yiming said without hesitation.

"Zibuyu is strange!" Li Qing laughed loudly, "Master Lu, you are someone who reads sage books!" The two looked at each other and smiled. As the top leader, of course, you must maintain a certain sense of mystery in front of your subordinates.

While laughing, Li Qing said: "Today I have to go to Taoyuan Xiaozhu, so I won't keep you for dinner."

Hearing that Li Qing was going to Taoyuan Xiaozhu again, Lu Yiming hesitated for a moment, and said: "Marshal, you often go to Mrs. Jiyue in Taoyuan Xiaozhu these days, so you can't help but neglect Princess Qingcheng. For those who are physically fit, if the commander-in-chief doesn't spend much time with the princess, the princess will inevitably be unhappy, which will be detrimental to the fetus in the womb."

Li Qing glanced at Lu Yiming in surprise. If Shang Haibo said this, he would not be surprised. Lu Yiming has always been cautious in his words and deeds. He didn't say a word, but he said it today. On the one hand, it shows that Lu Yiming is really loyal to him, and on the other hand, has he really neglected Princess Qingcheng a little during this time?Li Qing reflected.

Ever since Princess Qingcheng learned of Emperor Tianqi's death and beat up Shang Haibo, she seemed to be a different person. Her previous fiery temper had been greatly restrained. It really changed a lot. Seeing Qingcheng like this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. You must know that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. With her status as a princess and a body of golden branches and jade leaves, she has always been spoiled. She can do it now In this way, I don't know how much wronged I have suffered in my heart.

"Is this what you mean by yourself?" Li Qing asked.

Lu Yiming said: "Marshal, humble officials have always been unwilling to meddle in the marshal's family affairs, but the two wives have bodies, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. After all, Princess Qingcheng is more dignified. Marshal may as well accompany you more." Princess."

Li Qing nodded, since Lu Yiming said that, it can be seen that he has indeed gone to Jiyue's place more often. If Shang Haibo said this, his words would be much more violent. Although Shang Haibo was beaten by the princess Beat him up, but this person doesn't hold grudges, he always treats things wrongly, and since then, Qingcheng has been cautious in front of Shang Lu and the two of them, and it can even be said that he is deliberately making friends. The relationship between them has improved. Not a lot.Shang Haibo even said in front of himself many times that it would be great if Princess Qingcheng could give birth to a baby.Li Qing knew that Shang Haibo had a public heart and had nothing else on his mind, and only a person with his temperament would say these words in front of him without shyness, and someone else would definitely be very secretive about this topic.Regarding Shang Haibo's bad mouth, Li Qing laughed it off. How can having a son and daughter be determined by manpower? , but in this position, this issue has to be considered.It would be best if both were sons, or if Jiyue gave birth to a little girl, but if the situation was reversed, it would be quite different.

Li Qing shook his head, it was so fucking difficult.It's useless to think about it now, let's talk about it after the birth.

"I went to Jiyue's side more during this time because Jiyue's body reacted very badly. Her whole body was a little swollen, and she even had some difficulty walking. Jiyue's body was already weak, and coupled with her young age, I was very nervous. Worrying, she feels better with me by her side. In addition, Qingcheng is a martial arts practitioner and has a strong body. Although she is also pregnant, she has not responded much, and I have somewhat ignored it." Li Qing said to Lu Yi Ming explained, "Well, since you said so, I won't go today, I'll go and accompany Qingcheng. Speaking of which, I've been resting in the study these days, but I really haven't visited her!"

Lu Yiming cupped his hands happily, "The commander-in-chief sees it clearly, since this is the case, I will take my leave from the humble position first!"

Candles had already been lit in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and Qingcheng was eating dinner alone under the lamp. After she became pregnant, her appetite increased greatly, and she had to eat an extra bowl of rice for each meal than before. On the square table, there were four dishes and one soup , two meat and two vegetables, unlike Jiyue who only picks up some light food, and Li Qing has to coax her into eating meat, but Qingcheng prefers to eat meat, and now every meal must have the dish of braised pork.

Li Qing didn't come here for a while, he either went to Taoyuan Xiaozhu, or worked in the study until late at night, and then rested there, Qingcheng had no idea that Li Qing would appear here today, didn't the maid beside him go to talk to Tang Hu I've inquired about it, and said that the commander-in-chief is going to Taoyuan Xiaozhu today?Why are you here?
"Master Hou is here?" Qingcheng stood up with a look of joy that could not be concealed.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Why is the waiter not the waiter, a family, don't need to be so famous, aha, smelling the smell of the food, I feel hungry, come here, bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks! "

Qingcheng hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, Lord Hou, these are leftovers from my eating, how can you use them again, I will ask the kitchen to make them again!"

Li Qing waved his hand, "It's okay, my wife has eaten it, so what are you afraid of, I'm so hungry, I can't wait."

The maid filled a bowl of rice and came over. Li Qing gobbled up the leftovers and ate several bowls of rice in a row. Then he stroked his stomach, hiccupped, and said contentedly, "I'm full!"

Qingcheng sat on the side, if she used to, she would definitely reprimand Li Qing for not talking about appearance, but now, seeing Li Qing's appearance, she felt a sense of happiness in her heart, perhaps, those thousands of small families , life is like this, right?Qingcheng thought in her heart.
