Chapter 1847 Meet
Li Cong suddenly thought that the girl in the yard over there was that Miss Deru. I can't explain everything clearly, and no matter what I say, Cao Yan must have preconceived that the girl is her own woman, otherwise, why would she bring her to her home, and she is delicious and delicious Never mind, from Cao Yan's point of view, the younger brother must have fallen in love with him, but he probably doesn't have any feelings for the younger brother. If so, the two of them should be... um, er...
"Stop, sister, that girl over there is really related to my sister. This time I went out to meet a few friends, and he has something to do with one of my friends. It's not up to me to decide. I should say less about this in the future, people believe that I send my friends to stay at our house, if I have such thoughts, what am I, so that I can hold my head up when I go out in the future?" Li Congda said awe-inspiringly. He said, and sure enough, when he heard Li Cong say that, even Cao Yan told the rest of the joke, that friend? Although what Li Cong said was very cryptic, Cao Yan often heard similar words in such places, how could he not understand Li Cong's meaning, this is Li Cong's friend's wife, this must not be a trouble What came out. |Yu|Guest|Written|Study|Network|
Cao Yan quickly thought about what she was rude about. These days, this Miss De Ru really talked to her, and she also has her own unique opinions on some things. Cao Yan is very Admired, I thought that if this is also my sister-in-law fù, it will definitely save my brother a lot of energy in the future, but I didn't expect it to be so.
Speaking of Chen Deru and Li Cong, Gao Qiang doesn't even know where he is now, he just said that he wants to go to the countryside to become a local rich man, but where is this woman? It's fine, otherwise, I can't keep it for a lifetime, besides, this month's house has been cleaned up by the tiger mercenaries, and it is very safe to go out now, there will be no danger of this kind Yes, the tiger mercenary group is not a good stubble, they must also be looking for this lady, Li Cong can hide it for a while, but it will be useless after a long time, the news of these mercenary organizations is the most well-informed Yes, after all, many people who buy and sell news rely on them to make a living.
Li Cong went to the front yard after talking a few gossips with Cao Yan. In fact, Li Cong always asked his people to inquire about Gao Qiang's whereabouts. I still remember the days when I fought side by side with Gao Qiang in the Warcraft Mountains. The leader of such a leader's team would not be able to go to the Warcraft Mountains because of a woman who lost his arm, and gave up his life as a mercenary. I don't know what to do next.
"Master, I already have a clue about what you asked me to inquire about. The blood droplet we have newly organized is also very good. Although there are no talented people in the world, I can find some people in this city. It’s okay if you get the news.” Bai Er is still very satisfied with the intelligence organization he formed, but the name the young master gave him is not very good, what kind of blood drop,
Such a name must also have such a symbol, that is, everyone has some blood on their chests. Such an organization rarely appears, but every time it appears, it will bring a huge whirlwind.
"Well, you did a good job. The matter of the blood drops will continue to develop. Now I don't ask you to do a lot of things. As long as you can know the things in this city, it will be very good. This intelligence organization is not overnight. You can get up in no time, just like the East Factory of the imperial court. It has been organized for tens of thousands of years, and it is definitely a very large organization now. This is the goal of your formation. I hope we can see it in the future. It's here." Li Cong praised a few words, and Bai Er couldn't be happier, his work was valued by the boss, and there may be more business waiting for him in the future.
"Let's not talk about these things for now. Where is my friend now? I will arrange a car and horse in the afternoon. I will go there." Since he knew that Gao Qiang was still in the city, Li Cong would go over to see how many people. It is a kind of etiquette and a courtesy.
"Master, your friend didn't have any information in Jiangning Chengli before, but it can show that this guy is very rich, and he bought the largest villa in the West District directly, and the price is about 20. Those with more than 10,000 taels of silver, in fact, are those outsiders whose 200,000 taels of silver are rare, and those who can enter the Warcraft Mountains will end up like this when they come out." Bai Er thought for a while and said, the young master's friend is vigilant It's still very high, and my own people followed me several times but got lost.
Of course Gao Qiang is very rich, not to mention the one billion taels of silver he earned this time, even the silver saved by Gao Qiang in the past is enough for this guy to squander for a few lifetimes, but now it’s not about squandering At that time, you must kill all your enemies, otherwise, you will definitely die with regret.
"Well, call Miss Deru and prepare some gifts for me. I'll go and visit." Li Cong thought for a while and said, since this matter is already what it is now, it can't continue to be delayed like this. I'm sorry to say, it's been a long time, and Chen Deru doesn't know what to think in his heart. If he really had that kind of thought, he would be regarded as a tragedy. Although Li Cong is not so conceited that he can attract all the women in the world , but this Chen Deru and Li Cong can feel what kind of feelings she has for her. If she is really decisive, this girl may die.
Bai Er's brain is a bit weak. What's going on with this young master? Didn't he say that he should keep some distance from that lady over there? Besides, he's about to marry the princess soon, even if he is The young master is no longer afraid of the imperial court, but you should abide by the following issues on this face, otherwise the pressure in the capital is not small, and the emperor may be scolding with his hips on his hips, so you are Li Cong, I am kind, please marry my daughter Here you go, it's a disgrace that you're taking other girls around here and there.
Although Bai Er had some doubts in his heart, of course he would not say what about his young master. All the faults must be that guy's fault. Who told you to fall in love with our young master? Even if everyone loves you, you can't. Like this.
Chen Deru already knew that Li Cong was back, but he didn't know what Li Cong was doing during this time, and he was not Li Cong himself. Of course, he cared about Li Cong very much, just like the women at home, But Chen Deru knew his identity sometimes, so he didn't ask Li Cong what he was doing, but just nodded to Li Cong.
Li Cong didn't explain what was going on, the servants had already brought the carriage over, Li Cong asked Chen Deru to get in the carriage, and the two of them went out one after the other, the servants who didn't know could be regarded as Now that there is a topic, everyone said why the young master ignored the two women and went out with a servant of unknown origin, especially the servants of the two wives were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing to come up and give this A slap by a woman is really shameless. Of course, Chen Deru clearly knows what loss of reputation Li Cong will bring to her by taking her out without explaining, but she doesn't seem to care at all.
"I took you out today because I actually took you to see my old friend." Along the way, Chen Deru made a carriage and Li Cong rode a horse. It was like a young couple going out. Li Cong never criticized his behavior Chen Deru didn't ask about the explanation. Li Cong didn't know what to say about this matter. Chen Deru felt that he should keep quiet with Li Cong. Originally, Chen Deru thought that Li Cong was going to send him back, but when he heard Li Cong After saying these words, I really feel more uncomfortable than sending myself back. I just wanted to object, but I thought that that person is also my savior. If there is no such person, I may be bullied by those bastards of the Yue family. Well, I followed it emotionally and rationally to see if there was nothing wrong with them, so I didn't say anything, just nodded, but the expression on her face could already prove that this woman was unwilling to go there, Li Congneng See it.
Gao Qiang lives in the west district of the city. It can be said that the west district is a preferred area for the new nobles in this city. Many houses here are very huge, mainly because the west district has only been developed recently. Many facilities here are It is very new, but some old nobles in the city are unwilling to come here, they may want to show how different they are from these people, they all hate these things very much The new nobles in the West District think that they are actually a bunch of reckless men. Indeed, most of the nobles in the West District are just rich people who have no status in the court. These people have all retired from the Warcraft Mountain Range People, so those who have no status in the city, that is, have money.
In other places, having money may be a status symbol, but here, having money becomes fat in the eyes of others, especially these people on the street, and even some government officials. Everyone feels that there is too much oil and water in the western district, and they don't have many officials at all, but how many of them are in charge of some things. If these people are in the district where Li Cong is located, they can all They are people with their tails tucked between their legs, but when they get to the West District, they are all so arrogant, as if everyone in this district owes them money, and if there is something wrong with their words, they will come to find trouble Well, although these people are all above level six fighters, what's the matter? In the past, if you dared not obey the laws of the empire, it was because you were always in the Warcraft Mountains and you could not come out, but now, you I wasted so much money to start a family here. If you don’t abide by the laws of the empire, your foundation will be gone, and the people who retire here are either offended by too powerful people who don’t want to enter the Warcraft Mountains, or themselves If there is a problem with the body and other aspects, there are some deficiencies, and their thinking is also very simple. As long as they can use money to send these guys away, they can spend some money, and they don't lack anything.
It's their way of thinking that made these civil servants in this area earn a lot of extra money, just like the government servants on patrol. When they were in the East District, these guys didn't even dare to take a bowl of water for a day. Good guy! The people who live here are all people who can crush themselves to death at any time. What about the South District and the North District? They are all poor as hell, even if someone treats me to a meal and sees his house, I dare not go there to eat, why? It's not that I'm afraid I'll get sick, but it's completely different when I go to the West District. The streets in the West District look completely different from other areas, not to mention the people here, everyone is very different. For those who are rich, as long as they go to the gatehouse and say a few words, they will get a lot of money.
Gao Qiang's mansion can be said to be the largest in the West District. This is not because Gao Qiang deliberately showed off, but when he bought a house in the West District, there were no small houses around, and this big one was the only one left. There is also a small shop, but Gao Qiang doesn't want to feel wronged after he retires. Anyway, it doesn't cost much. The land price here is still very cheap. It's a good idea for a seventh-level fighter like Gao Qiang to settle here. The strength is very strong. Although there are many ninth-level fighters in the Warcraft Mountains, no one knows where they went after those people retreated, so someone like Gao Qiang is considered a master. You are a master, yes, But that was in the past, and now there are a few yamen servants at the gate of Gaoqiang looking for trouble here. When I came here a few days ago, everyone had ten taels of silver. What medicine, just called in to drink tea, and no money, if it doesn't give them a little bit of power, it's not bad.
"I have already said that there are no fugitives in our family. If you want to come to the front hall to check, we will show you. Why do you still go to other people's inner houses? I tell you You don’t have any papers from the imperial court. If a fugitive enters our Jiangning City, why don’t you even have a notice in the streets and alleys? It’s clearly because you blackmailed us and found us.” A guy in a green coat and a cap said, this guy It's the high-strength butler.
"Hehe, boy, you have to be careful what you say. What do you mean we blackmailed you? Which eye of yours saw that we blackmailed you? Our business is like this. Have you gone to the streets and alleys? The court's documents How do you know such things? Do you know more things than me, a yamen servant? I wonder why you talk so terribly. Could it be that our master's dead son is not successful? If so, I will I really want to call you a young master, but unfortunately, our master doesn’t have that kind of luck, and you don’t have that kind of luck either. If you continue to block here, I’ll treat you as an obstruction of official duties, and I’ll take you back to the prison But you guys enjoy it, go ask your master to come out, isn’t it just a seventh-level fighter waiting to die, what’s so great, maybe we didn’t have the guts before, but now that we have settled here, we have to Knowing the rules here, people who break the rules don't have any face." This guy is very arrogant, and you can see from the side how these elderly people in the West District are bullied by these guys. In the past, they They are all murderous, but now everyone has let go of their previous killing intentions, so these people dare to do whatever they want here, otherwise, how could they be so aggressive? If you have the courage, you will worry about your own head.
"You...you guys are really bullying people. I'll fuck you up." This kid is still young, and he is a distant relative of Gao Qiang's hometown. I feel that the people in my hometown are more at ease, but this kid obviously lacks some experience in such things, so this guy called Liáo with a few words, this kid is about to punch, Gao Qiang Mansion All the other servants in the house seem to be indifferent to their own affairs, and they don't look at this side. Even the few servants brought by this kid also hurriedly avoided. It started, they used to be well-known gangsters in this city, and later saw that being a government servant in the West District had a lot of money, but it was much better than when they were gangsters, and they started to move one by one. This brain is crazy, who knows that the money just received a few days ago will be gone, this kid is the first one who dares not to give money, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, how can he be worthy of himself.
Although this kid is brave, but his skill is really bad. The dozen or so yamen servants went up to two people to set up this kid. After a while, he almost didn't beat this kid. Die, these guys are also very measured in doing things. As long as they don't beat people to death, it's their own right. It's okay to save people's lives. The court is too lazy to care about these people.
When Gao Qiang came out, the housekeeper in his hometown was already beaten with blood all over his body. Of course, he was still alive. This Gao Qiang can tell that even if he is alive, he may still be able to live a life of suicide if he wants to live in the future. It's very difficult. A few days ago, when these guys came to ask for money, Gao Qiang also gave it, but Gao Qiang couldn't stand it all the time, so he told this boy that if he came to the government office, he didn't need to pay money. Who knows Came out something like this.
"Are you the master of this guy? Now you seem to be very powerful. Your subordinates dare to attack Tolerance. Do you know what kind of crime it is? It is a trivial matter of beating people since I was a child. If you say that It must be a rebellion when you grow up, and you can do it according to your needs, we have our own rules for how to handle things." This guy is also very good at labeling big names, and the rebellion came out in a short time.
"Hmph, I don't know anymore. Although I'm missing an arm now, I didn't expect that even something like you could ride on my neck. Let alone you, even your master wouldn't dare That’s how you talk.” After all, Gao Qiang is still a seventh-level archer, and he was the strongest in a county in the past, and his aura is still very powerful. Seeing Gao Qiang’s expression, several yamen servants felt that This overwhelming murderous aura, although the tiger has no teeth, it is still a tiger's, it is definitely not something they can solve, everyone is scared to death at the moment, but the face just now can't be found.
"Master... no, don't..." Gao Qiang was already going to kill these guys, but at this moment the butler got up and said, Gao Qiang suddenly calmed down, yes, now he is not the same as before It's the same. In the past, if someone was killed in a lawsuit, he would just run away by himself. Now it's different from before. The relatives from the old family have also been brought here. I am willing, besides, this is not enough even if I run out. I am missing an arm now. Although my old brothers will take care of me, how can I rely on them all the time? These mercenaries just have Such helplessness, facing the huge difference between the previous life and the current life, if you can't adapt, it will be troublesome. There are already several houses around here that have been sealed up by the government. I really don't want the next one.
"Hmph, I'm going to take advantage of you bastards today, so hurry up and get the hell out of me." Gao Qiang said angrily, everyone knows that if these guys continue to make trouble, Gao Qiang may really kill someone, look at that You can tell how ruthless Gao Qiang is just by looking at him.
These yamen servants still want to say a few words, but seeing Gao Qiang's angry appearance, he is also flesh and blood. If this really angered Gao Qiang, the brothers must have no good fruit to eat. Be honest and go quickly, otherwise you might really confess to being here today. Several guys glanced at each other and walked out of here quickly. Gao Qiang also knew that today's anger was not just to let himself After escaping this chaos, there may be more troubles. They will definitely tell their bosses when they go back. Alas, it is all their own fault. If they can give them more than ten taels of silver every day It's going to pass, it's because I'm too strong, after so long, this mentality is still not at home.
As soon as these yamen servants left the door, they were pulled back by some burly men, and they went directly to an empty house next to them. They wanted to scream for a while, but unfortunately they didn't The opportunity to call out, Li Cong saw what happened just now on the wall, and he also knew why Gao Qiang sighed. Gao Qiang has his own self-esteem. People don't dare to go too far, but Gao Qiang is really too strong. In the past, he was the one who took care of those brothers, but now that it's turned around, he still can't adapt to it.
"Brothers, you can see clearly. This is fifty taels of silver. It was given to you by my master. You will not come to this house in the future. Of course, my master is afraid that you will not remember it. That's good, one person One little finger, you don’t need to know who my master is, you just need to know that as long as you still come, it’s a matter of one hand, do you all understand?” Several burly men haven’t waited A few yamen servants raised their knives and dropped their hands when they were talking. The little fingers of a dozen people were separated from their hands, and they all cried out for their fathers and mothers. But this is a place where no one lives. At least, everyone who heard this voice ran away immediately. This matter should not have anything to do with me. Fifty taels of silver just happened to treat this person's injury. Someone will come to make trouble. In fact, Li Cong can also use his status as earl to do this, but Gao Qiang will know it in that way, and then his brothers may change.
After this matter was resolved, Li Cong brought Chen Deru to the door. Gao Qiang was sulking in the room, and when he saw Li Cong bringing Chen Deru in, he knew what was going on. At Lao Liu's place, he knew the identity of this woman himself, and Lao Liu must have helped him bear a lot of worries during this time.
"Boss, I brought you the man, hehe, the place you are looking for is really good, I will ask my brothers to come over to warm your house some other day, who knows that you will not contact us after you leave, How can this work?" In front of this guy, Li Cong had that playful smile again, and Chen Deru just smiled when he came in, but when he saw Gao Qiang's missing arm, he felt really uncomfortable. It was because of himself, Sans, that he suddenly remembered that all of these things were due to him. If it were not for him, Gao Qiang would still be the captain of that team, and they would still be living the happy life they used to be.
Just now Li Cong and Chen Deru saw the situation here, and told her that without her affairs, Gao Qiang would not have become what he is now. Just now, Chen Deru was already very uncomfortable, now seeing Gao Qiang like this It was even more uncomfortable, but Li never wanted Gao Qiang's love to become sympathetic, if he was with Gao Qiang because of sympathy, such days would not last long.
Gao Qiang said a few polite words to Li Cong. Li Cong knew that he couldn't stay long on such an occasion, so he said he had something to do there and left. Chen Deru didn't ask to leave with Li Cong. After Li Cong left, he called him home. Li Cong's carriage also left, and what the future path will be is not his business. When Li Cong saw him walking out, Chen Deru's eyes were very nostalgic for him, but it was not as serious as before. This is a change. Li Cong knew that Chen Deru already had Gao Qiang in his heart, but they still had to go their own way in the future.
After coming out, Li Cong happened to meet Boss Cui who came here to do business. Boss Cui came here to find a warehouse. When his own warehouse was not established, Boss Cui’s biggest job was to look for warehouses everywhere. Li Cong came back At that time, 50 million tons of wheat were sent from planet rtY. These things need to be stored carefully. It can be said that the current grain trading has spread all over dozens of counties and cities around. Li Cong was also very puzzled. You must know that it is very difficult to get so much food in such a place without modern transportation, but people have done these things well, such skills are absolutely amazing.
"I've always wondered how our food is transported out. As far as I know, even if the carriages here are converted into four-wheeled carriages, the transportation volume of each cart is only three or four tons. , It can’t be too much, they want hundreds of thousands of tons, which is 100,000 cars, where did these people get so many people here?” Li Cong said a little puzzled.
"Hehe, this is not something we need to worry about. Haven't we also established a transportation team? Now it has begun to take shape. I will take you to have a look and you will know." Cui boss said with a big smile, and took Li Since I went to the cargo distribution center in the north of the city, this name was given by Li Cong. At the beginning, the people here felt very awkward, but now it is a veritable distribution center, and a large amount of food is shipped in. , and then transport out in small batches, that's what it does here.
Li Cong nodded, anyway, he went over to have a look if he had nothing to do now. After leaving the city, he came to a huge open land. It is said that there are tens of thousands of acres of land here. Because the land here is sparsely populated, the price is not very expensive. There are less than two taels of silver per mu, and with some other renovations, it took less than two hundred thousand taels of silver to build it. Of course, this is all because Li Cong is the earl. It is simply impossible to build such a large distribution center. First of all, the government will not cooperate so much.
Before arriving at the place, Li Cong saw a team with no end in sight. This was the transportation team of Cao's Grain Company.
"Did you see that? All the cars have their own numbers. Each team consists of 2,000 cars. They all act together. The food is sent to Yuhan County, three hundred miles to the north of us. , the grain merchants over there asked us for 100,000 tons of grain, and we have a small team to help them transport it. Anyway, the journey is not very far, and we will come back when we arrive at the place. A small team of them can do a few round trips per car. Every day Those who can travel eighty miles are all three coachmen, and there are several supply points of ours on the road, where you can take a rest and change your horses." Boss Cui introduced, Li Cong looked at the team and nodded, short These things can be done well within the time, Boss Cui's ability is really not ordinary powerful.
Boss Cui’s transportation is just like long-distance buses on the earth. The three drivers in the car are all in rotation, so there is no parking at all. There are fixed seats on both sides of the car. Generally, two people can use it. The car is done well, and the other one can rest. Three people working in three shifts can guarantee 24-hour operation together. At night, all the vehicles are lit with torches. This is a fire dragon. Such a team I'm not afraid of the King of the Mountain's attack. Besides, the management on this road is very good, there is no problem at all, the ability of the Cao family's transportation team is also very good, and the businessmen who come and go have begun to recognize it. Got this very new but reliable shipping unit.
"Very good, the scale looks not small now, how many such transport units do we have?" Li Cong pointed to the team in front of him and said, although the size of a team of 2,000 vehicles is not small, but this The team can only consume 8,000 tons of grain at a time. In the eyes of a person, 8,000 tons of grain may not be enough to eat in a lifetime, but in the face of the huge grain trade, this is nothing at all. For a county town, the daily consumption is not enough.
"Currently, we only have fifteen such transportation teams. After all, we have just started in the transportation industry. To be honest, if we don't have that much grain, we might start this business at all. Those grain merchants are all Those who have their own transportation team, no matter in terms of experience or what, are much better than ours. We are stronger in this 24-hour transportation, and the cost can be slightly smaller, so that our profit It is already very low. It has been a month since the opening of the transportation side. At present, the profit is very low. Each car can only earn less than three taels of silver for our business every month. , other car dealers have to pay more than five taels of silver." This is what Boss Cui is unwilling to say, but this guy is an honest man, and he said all such bad things to Li Cong.
"It's okay, big brother. In the beginning, in order to seize market share, we had to make some sacrifices. Three taels of silver is enough. It's not that it doesn't make money. As long as our business continues, it can always be done." Yes, and these drivers must be paid enough wages, and there must be no such bullies among them." Li Cong knows the shady things in the transportation industry, and some people bully workers by bullying them. But it happens from time to time. They usually see the boss very honestly, but after the boss leaves, these guys will become domineering uncles. These people are the most hateful.
"Such things happen in every transport company. The salary we give is not low. I have also established a supervisory agency within the coachman. Generally speaking, it is still very good, as you said. There are things, but not many, I will pay attention to this, and I will definitely not let such things spread." Li Cong also knew that it was impossible to prevent such things, he could only slowly It can only be done slowly, but it is impossible to stop it all at once.
A cart of grain holds four tons, and the price of each ton of grain is 24 taels, and a cart is only 96 taels. Grain trading is really not a big deal, but Li Cong knows the huge prospects of grain trading. Although Boss Cui is not I understand it, but I also support it.
After reading the food here, I went to the warehouse of the purchase station over there. Cao's Commercial Bank also set up some stores specializing in the purchase of Warcraft materials. The warehouses here are for the collected things. There are several large warehouses. It seems that the nearest Business is still good.
"Our acquisition is still very good, the main reason is that we don't have the behavior of other commercial firms to bargain, and the profit is also very objective, because our reputation is relatively good, and we have business contacts with several provinces. The things in the three major warehouses are worth about 1.2 billion taels of silver. If we sell them all, the profit is about 15% to 20%. Generally speaking, businessmen from other places come to choose goods. No, A few businessmen from the capital city came in and selected goods worth about 40 million taels. They just took away the goods. We received about 34 million taels of silver, plus our labor and the profit of the goods. It’s around 3.5 million taels of silver, and overall it’s pretty good.” Boss Cui said happily, in Boss Cui’s view, these things are profitable businesses, and they don’t require much manpower and material resources at all. You can do business with just a few openings, which costs much less than grain business, and the return is so objective.
"Hehe, it's very good. It's really good to have such a start at the beginning. Tell the people below to clean their hands and feet. I will give them enough salary and bonus. I will never treat them badly. If someone has dirty hands and feet Let them know how good I am." In the acquisition industry, there are also buyers who collude with sellers to defraud the boss of his money. Li Cong heard Li Tie say such a thing once, so he is special. Li Cong didn't want to suffer this loss if he ordered this matter.
"Brother-in-law, I'm really puzzled. It seems that you know where the key points are for all transactions. You didn't seem to have any contact with transactions before. I don't think it is possible for the boss who is rolling around in the mall." It's as poisonous as your eyes." Cui Boss said a little strangely, he had seen Li Cong before, and he didn't have such a brain at all. Could it be that he made progress after becoming a magician? This is too amazing A little bit.
"Haha, haven't you ever eaten pork and seen pigs running? It's almost enough to think about such things." Li Cong said with a smile. I have read so many books, and all of them are engraved with these contents. I just think about it for a while and I know what's going on, but I can't explain this to my uncle. rS! .
