Section 1839 Li Cong in Trouble

"Mother, don't embarrass him with this matter. A person like him is not a cruel person, especially for a woman, or a beautiful woman." After all, Cui Xian'er still feels distressed when she sees Li Cong's embarrassment, although The two of them didn't get along very long, but Cui Xian'er's understanding of Li Cong was very correct.

"Hmph, what's there to embarrass, you girl is too kind, you can believe what he says? This kid is not the same as before. He was an honest kid before. What about now? It's all changed now." What has it become? This kid is now a smooth-talking guy. My mother also sees that your temper is too soft. You were the first to enter the door, but now you want to be the little one behind the princess. What's so good about the princess, I guess it's because I don't like the old woman, so it's better to see it rarely in the future." Because Cao Zheng's death has something to do with the court, the old lady is very fond of the people in the court. I'm so upset, when I look at these people, I also wear colored glasses. I have obviously never met my princess daughter-in-law, and now I have some prejudice in my heart.

"Anyway, I'm his man. It's not up to him to decide what matters. I'll just rely on him." Cui Xian'er said a little aggrieved. For such a girl, everything about her is Li Cong. Li Cong saw her It hurts my heart like this, but Li Cong also knows that he can't refuse the court at this time, and he doesn't have that much ability yet.

"Xian'er, I don't know how to explain this matter. You are also from an official family, so you naturally know some things. Many times we are involuntary. These things should be understood. There is nothing we can do about it." Li Cong's explanation seemed a little weak, and Cui Xian'er didn't say anything, just shed tears, and this day will come sooner or later. But I didn't expect to come so early, and it came at such a messy time. Li Cong was also a little at a loss. He looked at his angry mother and daughter-in-law, alas...

"In short, it's up to you to do what you want. I won't take care of it. Now you can build another big house for us. For the first half month, you can do whatever you want, and I don't care. As long as my food and drink are not short, it’s fine. You must come and live with me for the remaining half a month. If the princess asks, tell her that I’m here to eat fast and chant Buddha. You want to serve your old lady. If the princess even stops this, I will go to the capital and ask his father, how did he teach this daughter, who don't understand these things about filial piety?" Li said a little angrily. At this time, Li Cong could see that the reason for Li's anger was not only because he wanted to marry the princess, but now it was because of Cao Zheng's affairs. Speaking of which, although Cao Zheng didn't die directly in the hands of the court , but how many of them have something to do with the imperial court. In the past, Cao Zheng stared at him, and he was just a son. Everything is up to me now.

Li Cong thought about it and wanted to say something, but at this time the old lady just didn't give her face, and went to the back, Cui Xian'er didn't say anything to Li Cong and went back, leaving Li Cong alone, maybe this period The girls he met during the time were all generous. Now it seems that jealousy is a woman's first nature, especially when there are several women and one man, such a family is even more powerful.

Just because I didn't meet her before doesn't mean she didn't have one. Now that I have met her, I don't know what to do. Anyway, the princess is coming soon. I can't help but make a statement.

"Brother-in-law, if you want me to tell you that you really did something wrong. In fact, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What my sister can't accept is probably because you lied to him." Met my brother-in-law, the two of them are free anyway, so I asked the kitchen to bring some side dishes, and after drinking it, the meaning of what my brother-in-law said had nothing to do with my marriage to the princess Disgusted, after all the men here are used to this thing, especially the men of big families, if there is only one wife, some people will definitely think wildly, is it not possible for this person, or this person likes men or something What's going on? Anyway, I didn't think about the good.

"Oh, this matter is really my fault. At the beginning, I thought that it hadn't come yet. The distance from the capital to our place is not close. I didn't expect it to come so soon. I was also caught off guard. , For these things, I am not as good as you, big brother. I heard that big brother has not been idle for a while, and he has taken two concubines in a row." Li Cong said with a smile, his brother-in-law is really good. Then he came out with his first wife, who is also a beauty. After arriving here for just a few days, that is to say, he just settled down, so he started looking for a little wife. When he came back, he heard Bai Er say this Something happened, although I am not here, but my wife will not treat my eldest brother slowly, and all the gifts that should be given have been delivered. I heard that this kid is doing very well recently.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, don't make fun of my brother. This matter is not what I want. I also want to do it for the future development of our Cao's business. No, my brother-in-law brought so much food, I always have to get it out. It’s okay, the two I married are from the family members of grain merchants in several nearby provinces. They are said to be the young lady over there, but in fact they are just some concubine young ladies. Yes, but this character is still very good." Speaking of my virtuous wife and concubine, I am very comfortable here, if the person in front of me is not my brother-in-law, I really want to teach him something. , Thinking that if I said something about my experience, this kid would go back and deal with my sister, so I don't have anything to say in my heart, I feel how stupid I am right now.

"Okay, I've heard a lot about your good things. You can't neglect your sister-in-law. You must know that your sister is very close to her sister-in-law. If your backyard catches fire one day, don't ask me to put out the fire, right Now, how is the recent business of our Cao’s house?” Li Cong heard this guy talking about Cao’s house just now, so he asked by the way. Just now, he saw that there was a lot of money in the warehouse at home. Thinking that this should be the recent profit of Cao's House.

"Haha, speaking of the development of our Cao's Commercial Bank, it is very good. We have already started selling our grain to more than a dozen surrounding provinces. The taste of our grain is definitely very good. Now I have followed the You left me a kind of noble wheat, which I sold for one or two silver a catty, which is much more expensive than others. I didn’t expect that since this thing was launched, I would sell it for a hundred every time. Tens of thousands of catties, these are there every day, and they are sold out every morning as soon as the door opens. This kind of hungry sales are still very good." This guy has a happy face when he thinks of the recent business, that is The sales method that Li Cong told himself. I had never seen it before. At that time, I couldn’t figure it out. I thought that I had something to sell, and I didn’t want to sell it when people wanted your stuff. I insisted on limited sales. Now I finally understand, if that's the case, people in the streets and alleys won't be talking about their own things. Now ordinary people will come to buy some if they have a good life. He also opened a few according to what Li Cong said. Small window for sale. These are specially for ordinary people, not for those big households.

"This is called hunger sales. I learned this thing from an expert. After mastering this thing, it can be said that the sales of many things can be carried out for a long time. How much food do we have in stock?" The teleportation array transported tens of millions of tons of grain, and now he has been away for a long time, and the sales of these grains are estimated to be about the same. Are you considering getting another batch? When he came back, Li Cong saw that some farmers didn’t grow much grain anymore. With the grain impact of Cao’s firm, they didn’t make any profit from growing grain. Of course, this kind of It was the landowners who were hurt the most. They are the biggest owners of the land, as long as there is a loss, they are the first.

"Our grain storage has not been much recently. Although it seems that there are still a lot, they have already been booked out. Because our grain prices are relatively cheap, grain merchants from all the surrounding provinces have begun to come to us. Come on. For the time being, we are in a state of not doing much business. After all, it takes at least two months for our food to be shipped out. I think we should not accept too many transactions during these two months. "Boss Cui thought for a while and said that there is not much food here, and many problems can be seen from the development of this period.

"It's enough to rectify slowly, but don't stop, just keep going, I will continue to get a batch of grain over, by the way, how about our new huge granary, if possible, let people send the grain directly Get over there." Li Cong thought for a while and said, before leaving, he had already ordered the repair of a huge granary that could hold at least 100 million tons.

"I ask people to go over there to look at it every day, but recently it has not been fixed because of the rain every day. Recently, the weather here has also escaped humidity, but our food is no problem. The one is very good, and it is estimated that the construction can be completed next month." Cui Boss has been waiting for this huge warehouse for a while, and you must know that some of the current warehouses are rented by others, and the daily rent It's not a small amount either. With your own warehouse, you can save a lot of money on rent alone.

"You just need to hurry up here. Many of our things start with food. Many times he will do things we can't do. These things are definitely not alarmist. This time I came back on the way I have encountered a lot of things, and in the future, things that can be spent on money are nothing, and we can solve them properly." Li Cong naturally doesn't worry about money with so much money in his ring There is a problem, but Boss Cui didn't understand what he said. A while ago, Li Cong said that he was short of money everywhere. How come he doesn't need money after a while? Could it be that money is falling from the sky? Are you coming? Although he is Li Cong's brother-in-law, Boss Cui also clearly knows his identity. He is a big shopkeeper of Cao's House of Commerce. It is better not to say some things, otherwise he may be very troublesome.

"Since you, the boss, have said that, I naturally have no other problems. It's getting late, and I won't drink with you here anymore. I have to go back to work. You can save me from detaining me." Salary." Cui Lao said with a big smile, and Li Cong also nodded with a smile, because his brother-in-law is better at this point. No matter how happy you are at any time, you will do well in the things you tell me, and you will never be delayed. Such a person can be a big shopkeeper for yourself, so you can rest assured.

After Boss Cui went out, Li Cong saw Chen Deru coming in. When the girl entered the door, she changed into a man's clothes. Li Cong also told the people below that this was a friend he met in the Warcraft Mountains. The servants below also understand who the young master in their family is. People in their twenties are already dual-line magicians, and they are also first-class earls of the empire. Even if the governor sees it, he must first say hello to the young master in his family. Since the young master said that this is the young master's friend, then this person must They are very capable, so there is nothing negligent about each of them, and the care is still very good.

"Sit, I've been inquiring about Boss and the others these days. Others should be fine. It's just that Boss may have problems. At that time, the two fighting with Boss were two seventh-level fighters. Boss thought It's okay to escape, but seeing that you didn't escape at that time, maybe this guy will be very determined." Li Cong asked someone to take a new pair of bowls and chopsticks and said, anyway, Boss Cui didn't eat much, This girl didn't eat either. Just eat together, that is, add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

On the way, Li Cong had already told the reason why people like himself went to save her several times. Li Cong was afraid that this girl would make a mistake, so he said that, but now it seems that the effect is not very great. Yes, this girl still has light in her eyes when she looks at Li Cong. Li Cong has always believed that friends and wives should not be bullied, especially Gao Qiang's women. Although he has not known Gao Qiang for a long time, Li Cong is still very satisfied with Gao Qiang's work style. Li Cong is a woman whom Gao Qiang really respects and likes. Li Cong has long regarded her as his sister-in-law. On the way, Li Cong also told her that he will live here when he goes back, but in front of Gao Qiang and the others, he must not expose his identity. Otherwise, it would be impossible to go to the Warcraft Mountains to practice in the future, and they would look at me differently because of some differences in status, and they would even part ways with me. Such things will happen.

"Well, you are all good people, you will be fine, I pray for you every day, I also went to the office of the Tiger Mercenary Corps today, the people there are all related to the Yue family Not bad, so I didn't dare to reveal my identity, I was afraid I would run into trouble, and now the tiger mercenary group may be in trouble." Thinking of the things she saw when she just went out, her heart was in a mess Yes, the people from Yue's family are really good at doing things this month, and people from outside have also bought a lot of them.

"Hehe, this is a very normal thing. You have also seen that the members of the Yue family are going to rebel. They must be prepared to do such a thing. They will never fight any uncertain battles. They will do things well. Considerate, haven't you already told the high-level people according to your secret contact method, I believe the people over there will find a way." Li Cong can only be so comforted, in fact, the tiger mercenary group is not a small Organized, with tens of millions of members, it is definitely a colossus, the Yue family does not even have 5% of the power, it is still very easy to eradicate the Yue family, but the one behind the Yue family It is very difficult. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no one behind the Yue family for such a big matter. Now it depends on how powerful the people behind it are, and whether they can stop the counterattack of the tiger mercenary group. If not If so, it is estimated that they can only abandon the Yue family.

"You don't need to comfort me. In fact, I also know that from the moment the Yue family began to betray me, I knew that our tiger mercenary group must have suffered a huge loss this time, but I still want to thank you very much. , if it weren’t for you, I might have been four years ago. Even if I could enter the city alive, I would have no good end if I fell into the hands of the Yue family. This is really a very safe place. I would have thought that I would be here.” What she was talking about was the Magician’s Union, which is definitely the safest place, even the palace is not necessarily much stronger than here, the magic circle outside is already very It's amazing. If there are many magicians here, Li Cong will never let so many people in, but at present, only Li Cong himself is a magician. This is like Li Cong's private club. Li Cong You can do whatever you want.

"Hehe, I told you a long time ago. In fact, you don't need to be so polite. We are also friends. Besides, my elder brother is very interesting to you. If I don't take good care of you, I will see my elder brother I will live to the end when I come back." Li Cong said with a smile, although Chen Deru was also smiling, but that smile was uglier than crying. A girl who was so beautiful before, now she wants to perfunctory Li Cong's smile. This has become so ugly, Li Cong was a little embarrassed.

What is going on in this person's mind? He has already revealed so much as a girl. Doesn't he really understand his own mind? Chen Deru's heart is really uncomfortable. Every time she talks to this guy, she will always mention her elder brother intentionally or unintentionally. Is there no other topic besides that topic? Can it only mean your elder brother? Or is it reminding me of this problem all the time? Thinking of this, Chen Deru was saddened. I don't know how long it took, but Li Cong who was opposite had already left, looking at the sun outside. At least two hours have passed.

Like many little girls, Chen Deru also hoped that he could find a great hero to be his husband when he was young, but he did not expect that he would really wait for it, but it is a pity that this person has no meaning for him at all, so he can take risks He came to save himself at the risk of death, just for his elder brother, who he had no memory of. My mind is full of this person, but should I tell him? She is a smart girl, and she knows very well that as long as she says that sentence, the current state between herself and him will also end. Such a person is like this.

A girl knew her emotional destination, but this person didn't remember her words. This is indeed a very sad thing, but I can’t always be like this. Every time I muster up the courage to say it, it will end for one reason or another. It's not as good as it is now, but if you don't say it, will it be like this in the future? I really don't have any meaning for that boss.

Li Cong seemed to have escaped, he didn't want to continue to be with that girl at all. This is really excruciating, being with this girl puts too much pressure on me, especially those bright eyes, which seem to be able to talk, no matter how I know the beautiful girl I know, there is a connection , but the situation of this eldest lady is different from others. For women, what Li Cong thought was that he would be foolish if he didn't take advantage of others, but the self in front of him absolutely couldn't be eaten. But it is inevitable, although I can see that the girl in front of me has no interest in Gao Qiang, but whether or not this is up to me, even if Gao Qiang has nothing to do with this woman in the end, I don't care. It cannot be mixed in, this is a matter of principle.

After Li Cong went out, he saw Bai Er and hundreds of servants carrying things in the yard, no need to ask, it must be the money delivered from the grain store, "I said Bai Er, what are you doing with so much money? Don’t you want to exchange it for gold?” Li Cong looked at the long line of silver and said, generally speaking, a box is 3,000 taels, and there are at least a hundred boxes here, and I don’t know how much is put in it. The Cao's House of Commerce has to take out 15% of the interest and send it to Li Cong here, and the rest will continue to roll in. In the past, they used bank notes, but then several banks successively They are not very stable, so they use cash. It is said that the bank account of the imperial government can be trusted, but everyone has been a little scared recently, so they have switched to cash transactions. Li Cong is still a little helpless about this Yes, the turmoil is only in the southern provinces of the empire. It is no problem for other places, and the credit of the Imperial Bank will definitely not be a problem.

"Young master, you don't know. In the past, we used to exchange gold to ship in, but for some reason recently, the price of gold has dropped a bit. You also know that the official currency of our empire is silver and gold. For copper coins, the price of gold fluctuates up and down there. In the past, ten taels of silver could be exchanged for a car of gold, but now it can be exchanged for nine taels of silver on the black market. If you want to calculate, let’s not talk about us. This 5% doesn’t sound like a lot, but our Cao’s Commercial Bank has hundreds of millions of taels of silver transactions every month. There are no million taels of silver here and there. , why do you want to take advantage of those people, at most you just need to find some people to work, this little guy can settle accounts." Bai Er said with a smile, the price of gold fluctuates up and down is a common thing, Not having a million taels of silver is really nothing to Li Cong, even in the past, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, seeing how my subordinates would save me money, I was somewhat moved. After all, the money went into their own pockets, not these people.

"Hehe, that's right, Bai Er, your spirit is worth advocating, pass it on, and tell the servants in the mansion about your matter, and go to the account to get thirty taels of silver, and I will reward you, young master." Yes. In addition, the people working here also told them to go to Wangjiang Tower in the evening, one counts as one, and I will have enough food and drink. I will have a day off tomorrow, and each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver." Li Cong said with a smile, Li Cong has always been very generous to his servants. The few workers next to me heard Li Cong's last time, and how many people were carrying the boxes were a little unsteady. This young master is really generous in rewarding money. You must know that five taels of silver is not a small amount. Their family has been eating for a month, which is a day's work, and that's it. Although Bai Er didn't lack the thirty taels, he was still very happy to let himself publicize his affairs. This kind of showing his face was the only one among the stewards in the whole mansion.

"Young master, you are so polite. Doing such a thing is what we should do, how can we be rewarded by the young master." Bai Er rubbed his hands and said, his appearance was really a bit self-deprecating. If Li Cong said no rewards at this moment, the expression on this guy's face must be very good-looking, and he wants to say kind words, but he doesn't want the kind words to become true. This is really a bit embarrassing. It's as funny as it needs to be.

"Okay, stop tweaking here. By the way, are there any big houses for sale in this city recently? Those who have entered the big houses for five years or more, and those who are too small." Li Cong thought of what his wife Li said just now, Mrs. Li might be able to do it if she said such a thing. It's better to prepare for this matter early. The house must be done well. Otherwise, Mrs. Li will get angry, and I won't be able to eat it. , Bai Er has never heard that the young master is going to buy a house, but he usually pays attention to the things in the city, and he is afraid that the master will suddenly ask about some things.

"Recently too many people have come to this city, and the land price has risen a lot, but according to the young master's instructions, we bought land in the city when we came in, and we made a lot of money. There are really not many mansions in Wujin, and there are only three in this city, but fortunately, these three are currently for sale." Bai Er suddenly thought of several real estate agents in Cao's House Said, although the newly established real estate department of Cao's Commercial Bank is not very big, but because they own some of the best land around the city, Cao's Commercial Bank is also an important enterprise in the real estate market of the whole city. Things are still very good, and the influence is enough.

"Where are they all? Tell me carefully, and buy them all if you can." Li Cong thought for a while and said, in the future, Boss Cui must also have a house, and now there is a third-income man, No matter how you say it is a bit small, I am very unhappy with Cui Xian'er this time, and it is right to give this girl's brother a little bit of benefits. I can still do this, and I am still very happy to take the road of saving the country with curves. will do.

"Well, two of the three big houses are in the north of the city, and the other is in the east of the city, less than 200 meters in front of where we live now. Speaking of which, these three houses are close to our number. , It didn’t take long to build. It belonged to a grain merchant some time ago. Because we entered the grain market forcefully, this guy lost all his money. In fact, we don’t blame us. It’s really that this guy was greedy. It can be doubled, but this guy still didn't make a move. When Li Lai always got it, this guy just...

"Well, the location seems to be good. What's the price?" Li Cong said while feeding the carp in the pond with fish food. There are too many carp in this pond. Don't talk about fishing, just go in casually You can pull up a lot by touching it.

"The one closest to us is supposed to be the most expensive, but because this guy is bankrupt and needs money urgently, including some furniture and other things at home, it seems to be less than 30,000 taels of silver. The remaining two They are all 40,000 taels of silver, which is the current price, and before the beast tide, they could not even sell one-third of this." Bai Er said, Li Cong can only lament this era The house is really too cheap, it is not the same as on the earth, if there is such a five-in-one mansion on the earth, it is in such a central city. No matter what, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and it still has to be in a city that is not very prosperous. If it is in a very prosperous city, it is estimated that another zero must be added.

"The price is not bad. You can go to someone to buy it. Later, I will go to the Yamen to go through the transfer procedures. First, I will find a few masters to see what needs to be repaired. In addition, the building near us Find someone to take care of it, the old lady may live there in the future, and try to keep the decorations there according to the original appearance of our house, the old man will always miss the old days." Li Cong thought for a while and said, Bai Er also Some wonder. But the master didn't say anything, even if he is a slave, he can't rush over to ask, he can only pretend to be confused, if this matter is broken, can it be over?

One of the two houses in the south was given to Boss Cui as a reward. In fact, it is very easy to buy such a big house with Boss Cui's current wealth, but Boss Cui is not that exaggerated. Li Cong knew that Boss Cui was also the young master of a big family in the past, and he had his own way of doing things. There was no decoration in that one.

"By the way, how do the stewards in our mansion and the south of the commercial bank live now?" Li Cong saw that the prices of houses in the city had begun to rise. But this speed is not much different from the price in the past, and there is a big gap with the earth. At this time, we should buy a batch of houses for the housekeepers and so on, so that they can feel at ease No, the so-called starting a family and starting a business means that getting married is not just about marrying a wife, but also having your own house.

"Well, young master, the first-class stewards in our mansion are me, Wu Liu, and Bai Er. Now we live in a house with one person and two in the back street of the mansion. There are four other second-class stewards. , they are now two bachelors, two wives died of starvation in the animal swarm, so they all live in the servant's room in the mansion, each of them has his own room, and the one in the business house over there There are two waiters and fourteen second-class stewards, all of whom are in the houses found by the firm, and they are all passable." When Li Cong asked this, Bai Er knew what was going on, and this meeting My son was so moved that he was about to cry.

"Well, you are all the core figures of our Cao family. You can't mess around like this anymore. You two should be replaced by three-in-ones. The first-class stewards at the firm are the same as you, and all the second-class stewards will buy some. For the second-entry house, you just need to discuss it with them, it’s best to be together, not far from our side.” Li Cong thought for a while and said, this is not the first time to give a house to employees Once, what Li Cong wanted most was to make them live comfortably.

"Master, if it's all around us, the price will be much higher. The land around the magician's union is very expensive, and the expenses will be much higher." Bai Er thought for a while and said, If you build a second-grade house around here, you can get a third-grade house in other places, but if the master doesn't care much about money, it will be fine.

"Money is not a problem. Didn't I tell you that the money is not enough?" Li Cong pointed to the bank over there with a smile and said, now the mansion has tens of millions of taels of cash alone. Even the Fanku of the entire province probably doesn't have as much money as here. To be honest, Li Cong can definitely say that he is not short of money on the street.

Bai Er smiled and continued to ask people to go to work. Li Cong found a place to sit down when he had nothing to do, and watched his family's servants deliver money to his bank. This is also a very comfortable thing. The unhappiness at Li's place a while ago is slowly forgotten now. Thinking of this now, Li Cong remembered what kind of temper this princess has. Speaking of which, the Cao family has such an honor. It is very rare. Generally speaking, you can marry a princess only by relying on military exploits. If you marry a princess, as long as you don’t betray the country in your life, you can be sure of your prosperity and wealth. The emperor is right. The Cao family is not thin, although there are many princesses in the empire, many of them are basically the emperor can't even pronounce their names, so Li Cong can find someone who is definitely the emperor's heart.

At this moment, the princess has already entered the southern province. Originally, Li Cong wanted to send someone to greet her, but because the person who sent the news to Li Cong missed Li Cong, there was no Li Cong. People came to greet them, but the magistrates here would still welcome them from a distance. The governor, governor, and admiral in this southern province were all kneeling on the ground. It seemed that there must be hundreds of people. People, don't think that this is a lot of officials, but in fact it is not much. Compared with the hundreds of millions of people in the southern provinces, this amount of official luck is relatively small.

"Hmph, this Li Cong is really courageous. What kind of appearance is our princess, and she married to such a marginal place, and this person doesn't even send anyone to greet her. It's time to know the news, these magistrates know the news, can he not know?" There are sixteen court ladies around Princess Luanjia, all of them are the first-class female officials in the palace, and the magistrates Seventh-rank county magistrates are all at the same level, which means that the princess will use sixteen county magistrates to serve her. There is no way, although there are many princesses, there are more county magistrates.

Many of the magistrates here have seen the ostentation of the royal family, but seeing today's lineup is still a little frightening, good guy, there are millions of sending teams, and this dowry has a car of 10,000 people Under pressure, this Li Cong is really lucky, with all his talents and looks.

Generally speaking, princesses are not very good-tempered. Even if they are good, they will look the same as before and after. It is not so easy to be the son-in-law of the emperor. Many concubines have no good in history. In the end, I just don't know if this magician son-in-law will make another scene. (To be continued.
