On the street, several young people walked dejectedly.
One of them frowned for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Junliang, Liu Yi, what's the matter with you, you haven't had two glasses of wine yet, and the food has just been served, why are you leaving?"
A young man sighed and said, "Hey, Chu Ping, don't ask too many questions, you don't know... Anyway, just go."
The young man named Chu Ping was a little anxious and asked, "Tell me what happened!"
The young man looked at the person beside him and said, "Junliang, you should say it."
Chu Ping also looked at him.
Wei Junliang shook his head and said, "Chu Ping, you have just returned to the capital, so there are some things you don't know, but let me remind you, if you meet that person in the future, hide as far as you can. , your family can't protect you."
"Which person?" Chu Ping asked suspiciously, and then said, "Is that the person you met in the restaurant just now? Who is he?"
"Li Yi."
Wei Junliang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Remember this name, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Young Lord Qin, Duanyang County King..., the younger generation in Kyoto, countless people have suffered from him, not just young people. For the rest of my life... In short, you remember my words, don't provoke him!"
Hearing the story of that man from Wei Junliang, Chu Ping was shocked, but he curled his lips and pretended to be disdainful: "So what, this is the capital, under the emperor's feet, and we didn't offend him, he Acting so arrogantly, even if His Majesty favors him and protects him temporarily, how can he stop the people of the world from talking?"
"Chu Ping, you speak exactly like Master Chu. You really deserve to be taught by his old man." Wei Junliang said with a smile: "I still remember the situation when his old man taught us back then..."
"That's natural." Chu Ping showed a look of pride on his face, "I, Chu Ping, am upright. I am worthy of heaven and earth. How can I be afraid of a courtier?"
"I know Chu Ping that you have a noble spirit..." Wei Junliang laughed, and said, "Anyway, I lost interest in being able to have a meal with you today after all the difficulty. How about this, tonight in the Miaoyin Pavilion, I will again Re-host the banquet, you will definitely appreciate the face."
Immediately, one person laughed and said, "You chose Miaoyin Pavilion, maybe it's not just as simple as eating?"
Chu Ping was surprised: "Miaoyin Pavilion, this place sounds like a music hall. Could it be that there is some mystery."
The man walked up to him and whispered a few words, Chu Ping's face immediately changed, and he said hastily: "No, no, if grandpa finds out, I'll have to beat me to death when I go to that kind of place!"
"Hey, this Miaoyin Pavilion is originally a music hall. Could it be that Mr. Taifu thinks too much about it?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Chu Ping's face, and he asked, "Are you sure no one will know about this?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "Except for heaven and earth, it's you and me."
Chu Ping showed a smile on his face and said: "It's just listening to the music and having a meal. I will definitely go, I will definitely go..."
…
In the restaurant, seeing Lin Wanru also put down her chopsticks, Li Yi said, "Let's go, things should be about the same over there."
The slovenly old man still has a toothache and can only drink porridge at present. Lao Fang runs around every day, and he doesn't know how many meals he will eat, and he didn't serve it this time.
"Wait a minute, last bite, last bite!"
Lin Yong said something hastily, finished the last sip of soup in the cup, then burped, rubbed his stomach and stood up.
Lin Wanru blushed a little, and after glancing at him secretly, she nodded and got up.
When walking back, the two chatted all the way, and Li Yi asked something about the Lin family's business.
In Fengzhou, there are the backstage of the third prince and the Qian family. In just half a year, the Lin family has stepped up a few steps again. Although it has not yet reached the level of a top wealthy family, it is already different from the past.
Like the Bai family and Ma family who were on the same level in the past, they can only become vassals of the Lin family. Since the price of colored glaze plummeted, they can barely live by relying on the Lin family.
Lin Wanru looked at the rows of streets on both sides of the street, thought for a while and said: "If you just make jewelry, you may finish it soon. This time, the most important thing I want to come here is to visit the capital of Jingguo. The ready-made clothes, perfumes here, Spirits... are very popular in Qi State, but it is a pity that they can only be brought over in this way, and the price is expensive. If we can directly reach a cooperation with them and build the workshop in Qi State, we can reduce the cost by more than 70%... "
She paused, and said, "However, I heard that these shops all have royal shadows behind them. I'm afraid it's unlikely..."
"It's not necessarily..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Everything is possible."
Lin Yong interjected from the side: "Perfume and spirits are not easy to make, but the clothes, what can we cooperate with, just do as they are..."
Li Yi glanced at him, and after more than a thousand years, if he did business, he would definitely lose all his underwear, but for now, what he said was not wrong at all.
This is because whether it is underwear or ready-made clothes, he requires to make his reputation and word-of-mouth first, so that even if there are imitators in the future, it will not pose too much threat.
Lin Wanru also glanced at him, but said nothing.
If things were really that simple, ready-to-wear shops would have bloomed everywhere in Qi State. The fact is that although countless people have followed suit, the quality of fabrics and clothing styles are far from being comparable to the authentic products of Jing Guo. Those shops are springing up like mushrooms. Usually pops up and shuts down after a short time...
Although Li Yi didn't say anything, Lin Wanru's words also reminded him that if he cooperates with the Lin family, his own shop can open in the country of Qi in a short time.
Although Jing State is big, its business will always be saturated. Qi State—this is a piece of uncultivated land, extremely fertile, waiting for him and Miss Lin to sow seeds...
Thinking of this, Li Yi turned his head and asked, "Seriously, does the Lin family really want to get involved in these businesses?"
Lin Wanru nodded and said, "This is also an important reason for coming to Kyoto this time."
"Can you come here?"
"Invite more people, there shouldn't be any problem..."
…
Lao Fang looked at the two figures walking side by side in front of him, touched his chin, thoughtful.
"Brother Li..." Lin Yong thought of something, and when he was about to step forward, someone held his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Lao Fang asked in a deep voice.
"I have a question for Brother Li..."
"What are you asking..." Lao Fang grabbed his shoulders and said, "This brother is called Lin Yong, right? My uncle is very busy now, so don't bother him. If you have any questions, you can ask me the same..."
…
"I'm really sorry, this is all our negligence, and it has caused you trouble!"
At the entrance of the restaurant, Han Langzhong said to the people opposite with an apologetic face: "Don't worry, we will deal with this matter seriously, and we will never tolerate those who favor others!"
"Don't dare..."
A Qi State businessman looked at this Jing State official, and his face turned pale with fright. This lord, at first glance, was much more noble than the officials they saw along the way, and it was really amazing to talk to them so politely. It makes people feel guilty!
Seeing Lin Wanru walking from afar, he took a few steps forward and hurriedly said, "Miss Lin, this..."
Before Lin Wanru realized what happened, Li Yi had already walked over and said, "Just send someone to deal with this kind of matter. Why did Han Langzhong come in person?"
Han Langzhong hurriedly said: "Master Li, to be honest, the official treasury is all in charge of the lower officials. These days, the household department is busy with affairs, and I don't care about him. I didn't expect these bastards below to be so bold. Don't worry, Master Li. This matter, the subordinate officials will definitely investigate to the end..."
Then he raised his head again, and said tentatively: "The lower official has sent out all the goods without any shortage. I don't know Mr. Li..."
"Is there no tax?"
Afraid of offending Lord Li, Han Langzhong immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I didn't take a penny!"
"How can this work!" Li Yi shook his head, this tax is for the country, for the country, it is for Mingzhu, for Mingzhu, it is...
In short, as a law-abiding citizen, one should not engage in specialization, and everything should be done according to the law.
Seeing Mr. Li shaking his head, Han Langzhong's body trembled, but Li Yi patted him on the shoulder and said: "The tax that should be collected must be collected, otherwise, regardless of the national law, Han Langzhong must be fair and not favoritism... "
Han Langzhong heard the words, with a bitter face, crying in his voice, he nodded repeatedly: "Master Li's lesson is that the next official will accept it immediately, immediately accept it!"
