It was another autumn, and early in the morning, the soldiers guarding the gate of Crane City opened the city gate wide, and the hawkers who had been guarding outside early in the morning immediately greeted them. It's like losing money slowly.
The soldiers guarding the city were not surprised either, watching the hawkers run faster than they were flying.
Crane City has gained a lot of fame in recent years. Who doesn't know that Jiangnan, who settled here, has produced many new things, which has attracted many merchants to purchase goods and sell them all over the country.
Therefore, in the past few years, Hecheng has the most businessmen.
Some merchants have come many times earlier, and it is not surprising that these small merchants run like a life-threatening operation. After paying the money, they entered the city leisurely.
The merchants who came to Crane City for the first time were different. They looked at the backs of the small merchants strangely, wondering what they were running.
A young businessman handed over the money, and then took out an extra tael of silver and handed it to the city guard: "Big brother, it's been windy recently, you can use this money to buy wine."
The city guard took the money, and the original official attitude immediately became enthusiastic at a speed visible to the naked eye, took the silver into his arms, and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, thank you."
Seeing that he received the money, the businessman asked, "Dare to ask eldest brother, why are these people running so fast? Is there any reason?"
Naturally, he paid money to ask questions, not just out of curiosity, but because he was new to the realm. Now the world is in chaos, and everything is in chaos. The imperial court is almost worshipped by several cities. Bandits are everywhere, doing business. At that time, if you encounter a copycat imperial court, you will hardly be able to save your life.
Now that I have just arrived at Hecheng, although I heard others say that Hecheng is very safe, for the sake of my life, I naturally have to ask clearly.
It was not the first time that the defender heard someone ask this question. Because the merchant gave money, he explained in a very kind manner:
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the Shi family opened a super market in the city. It occupies a huge area. These people sell vegetables, candied haws, and wood. Anyway, as long as they sell things, they can pay for it. Get a booth."
"Because you can get a stall for as little as a penny, and you can get shelter, plus the people of Hecheng know that everything is sold in this super market, the price is cheap, and there are many people who come here. A lot of goods can be sold, because many vendors are thinking about buying booths, and they run so fast, they are just afraid that they will not be able to grab a seat if they go too late."
The young businessman suddenly realized: "It is so."
He thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but look puzzled: "A penny is not worth anything, even if it is a few hundred people, it's only a few hundred penny a day, it's nothing to the Shi family, why would the Shi family do this? ?"
"You don't know that."
The guards of the city were suddenly full of pride: "The Shi family is now under the control of the young master Shi Qing, the young master Shi, he is a great and good man, he has always considered the people, this super market he built, Xia It can block the sun, and it can be snowed in winter. In the past, those small vendors were taking out food. Which one is not tanned in summer, and every finger has frostbite in winter. Look at now, as long as you pay a penny, you can be accepted by others. protection, without having to suffer from heavy rain and cold wind, and it is more convenient for the residents of the city to buy things than before.”
He praised a long paragraph, and the pride on his face was about to overflow, and his waist was even more straight:
"Such good deeds are not something ordinary people can do."
Young businessman nodded listening.
Indeed, it was only a few hundred wen a day, and it was not worth the effort of the family at that time.
But if it's for the people, it makes sense.
He immediately had a yearning for the young master of the Shi family who took care of the people, and couldn't help but admire: "I heard a lot of rumors about the young master Shi when I was in Jiangcheng, and I also have the beauty porcelain and Chitose wine that he produced. I was fortunate enough to buy it, and it is truly extraordinary.”
The defender was a little proud again: "Naturally, everything from the Shi family is fine!"
The young businessman added:
"I heard that he also invited famous teachers and scholars to establish a school in Hecheng. As long as students who pass the exam can be admitted without charge, the Shi family will also distribute food and clothing for free."
As soon as this incident spread, almost all the students from poor families in every city, who were dedicated to learning, rushed to Hecheng one after another.
Fortunately, the Shi family was wealthy, and the school they established was also large, which attracted many people.
This did not cause the miserable situation that people could not live in.
But for so many people, as long as they pass the exam and get food, clothing, housing, and transportation, it is all money spent by the Shi family.
And they don't just raise such a group, they also recruit students every year.
I heard that there is also a library in the school, which the Shi family collected and put in.
There are more than ten thousand books in it. As long as they are students in the school, they can all borrow books for free without spending a penny.
It doesn't cost a penny.
In the entire Crane City, no, and even the whole country, except for the Shi family, who else can do such a kind deed of benevolence and righteousness.
After the young businessman heard about it, he had always been yearning for Shi Qing, and felt that he must be a kind person with the world in mind.
"That's not."
The city guards became more refined: "This is what Young Master Shi insisted, no money for food and lodging, saying that it is for those students to pass on their knowledge. I am a rude person who doesn't understand this, but I know , Master Shi is willing to do this, then he must be a good person!"
The young businessman nodded. Seeing the pride of the city defender, he could not wait to raise his head to the sky, and asked, "Dare to ask eldest brother, are you related to the Shi family?"
Otherwise, how to praise Shiqing, he is so proud of it.
"Hey, brother, your eyes are really good, but no, my third aunt's second cousin, his old mother-in-law's nephew, is a clerk at Shi's house, but it's amazing. Every month, I take May or two silver coins, and come home during the festivals. He even gave Fami hair meat!"
The defender said it ostentatiously, and then asked the young businessman, "I think you've been inquiring about the Shi family. You are like those people. You want to join the Shi family and go under the name of Master Shi's chamber of commerce, right?"
"Chamber of Commerce?"
"You don't know about it yet, yes, it was established only two months ago, and it is estimated that the news hasn't spread."
Because he is also related to the Shi family, the defender explained patiently in a good mood: "My relative told me that the so-called chamber of commerce is led by the Shi family, and then other businessmen can join. After joining, It is the people of the chamber of commerce, if there is trouble in doing business, the people of the chamber of commerce will help each other to solve it, and they can also trade with each other.”
"Many businessmen want to join even if they break their heads, but Master Shi said that he only needs those businessmen who are sincere in doing business and don't deceive people. Hey, our Master Shi is so principled."
The young businessman nodded, and the yearning in his eyes became heavier.
"Sure enough, he is very principled, as expected of him."
The city guard: "Young Master, if you want to join the Chamber of Commerce and don't know how to get there, you can wait a moment. I have been here for three hours, and someone will replace me in a while. I can take you there. ."
Of course he wasn't in a good mood.
It's just that this young gentleman has a good temperament, dresses well, and is generous. He can give a tael of silver just for asking questions. If he leads the way, wouldn't he give more.
Anyway, his family lives near the chamber of commerce, and it's also a drop in. This money is not worth it.
The young businessman shook his head: "No, no, I don't want to join the Chamber of Commerce, I just have a relationship with the Shi family and want to visit."
"Have a relative?"
The face of the defender immediately showed "I understand": "If your grandmother and Shi's grandma are good sisters, or both have relatives because of their surnames, I still advise you not to be ignorant. After a lot of tossing, since the young master Shi became famous, almost two or three days will come up with people with various names to visit, and I have never seen anyone let in by the Shi family."
The young businessman laughed and didn't explain anything.
He just asked, "Big brother, I'll give you five taels of silver. Would you like to take me to the gate of Shifu?"
The defender's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly; "I am willing, of course I am willing!"
Five taels of silver!
Don't say let him lead the way, it's no problem to let him fly!
After a while, he paid and took the young businessman to Shi's house.
When the young merchant followed him out of the city gate, the city guards realized that although he looked young, there were actually quite a few people following him, about twenty people, leading carriages, and some carriages behind him seemed to be carrying things. .
After entering the city, young businessmen discovered that Crane City was different from other cities in that there were neat big trees planted on both sides of the road.
It is neat because every tree is straight, and this row of trees is almost in a straight line.
He had never seen such a scene before, and now, seeing it for the first time, he actually liked it in his heart, and felt that such a neat picture really made his heart clear.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and the leaves fell to the ground.
Immediately, some people picked up the leaves and put them in the baskets, planning to use them as firewood to burn when they were dried.
Therefore, although these trees have lost a lot of leaves, the ground is still clean, with every leaf.
He asked, "What are these trees?"
"Oh, these were also sent by Young Master Shi." The city guard replied naturally, "We have a lot of wind and sand in Hecheng, and Young Master Shi doesn't know where to see the method. He said that if you plant a lot of trees, you will be able to block the wind. Sand, so they sent for the trees."
Said, he ended with a sentence that has been said many times: "Master Shi is really a good person."
The Shi family is almost in the center of Crane City.
The wall is also the highest in the surrounding yard. Although the gate is open, some people in servant clothes can be vaguely seen walking around.
Obviously it is a businessman, but it looks more strict than those officials and eunuchs.
The young businessman was stunned for a moment and looked at the guards: "Who are these people?"
"Oh... it's nothing. Although Hecheng is not as chaotic as it is outside, the Shi family's name has gone out, and there are always some who are not long-sighted to offend. Therefore, the Shi family has the most guards among the major families."
Along the way, the guards of the city, adhering to the mentality of "doing things when they receive money", also introduced the young businessmen to the major families in the city.
After all, most businessmen who are new to the scene want to meet these families.
If you don't meet, you're here to give gifts. If you accidentally run into the properties of these families when doing business, you won't let them collapse directly.
He introduced it, and finally mentioned the Jiang family.
"Young master, you should pay attention to one thing in Hecheng. Don't offend the Shi family. The Jiang family was a big and famous family in Hecheng a few years ago, but the eldest son of their second master is an ignorant, married. Young Master Shi's direct sister, who didn't treat her well, annoyed the Shi family, and a huge family was dragged down by the Shi family abruptly."
He was rather gloating: "Now that the Jiang family is in decline, it's not even a small family."
The young businessman had also heard of this, and he didn't think the Shi family had done anything wrong.
If their children are humiliated, they naturally want justice.
What's more, it was the Jiang family who dragged on and refused to give and leave the book, so I can't blame the Shi family for some tricks.
It's good to gather and disperse, and we must not make such a fuss.
He gave silver taels, thanked the city guards, and under the affirmative gaze of the other party "you will definitely be turned away", he brought someone forward and handed over the greeting card in his hand.
The servant of the Shi family who was guarding the door took a look at the invitation, and his face immediately showed respect: "It turns out that the young master has arrived, and the villain will take you to see the master."
He didn't leave after receiving the money. He planned to wait until the young gentleman ran into a wall before he stepped forward to ask the other party if he wanted to lead the way to the inn. The guards were stunned.
Master watch? ! !
Is this really a relative of the Shi family? !
He froze in place, half-suddenly and suddenly happy!
That's great, he took the young master of Shi's family along for the ride.
Another blow!
***
In autumn, even if more trees are planted, the wind outside is still cold.
Shi Qing became more and more reluctant to get up.
For the girls in his house, it was the hardest thing to wake up the young master of the Shi family.
Every day when it was time to get up, a group of girls took turns to go into battle, softly persuading the young master in the quilt:
"Brother Qing, it's time to get up. Didn't you say yesterday that you would go to the chamber of commerce today? You must have us call you up."
"Yeah, brother Qing, look what I brought. Your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious. Can you eat it when you wake up?"
"Brother Qing, the sun is coming out, get up quickly."
The girls are all as gentle as water, and their natural voices are full of gentleness, softness, and persuasion.
Just listening to Shi Qing's ears, this is almost equivalent to a lullaby.
The young master closed his eyes and kept burying himself under the covers, pretending not to hear.
"Brother Qing, stop making trouble, it's time to get up."
One of the girls took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to his mouth, tempting: "If you don't get up to eat, I will eat it."
Shi Qing closed his eyes and opened his mouth to bite down a piece. While chewing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he lifted the quilt and buried himself in it.
The girls looked at each other.
"What should I do? Brother Qing refuses to get up again."
"Why don't you call the cat to come. The cat stepped on the quilt, and brother Qing had to get up in a while."
"Okay, I'll go hold the cat."
With a way, the girls all went to hold the cat to hold the cat, and the pastry to put the pastry.
In the inner room, Shi Qing was soon alone.
- Squeak.
The window, which was closed due to the cold wind, was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a person turned in with a quick movement.
His feet landed lightly on the ground, and he was obviously tall, but he didn't make a sound at all.
This man walked to the bed silently, looking down at the little young master on the bed who had shrunk his whole body under the quilt and only let the soft quilt form a ball.
He thrust his slender hand into the quilt suddenly, and landed precisely on the cheek of the peaceful young master who was sleeping.
"what!!"
The little young master who was sleeping and had a good dream was suddenly touched by this cold big hand, and his cheeks were warm, as if cold water had been poured on him in winter, he was so smart that he immediately jumped like a rabbit. He abruptly lifted the quilt and sat up.
"What are you doing!"
He glared angrily at the person in front of him, and when his eyes fell on the other's face, he was stunned for a moment, then became even more angry, and suddenly threw the quilt on this person:
"Jiang Bieyu!!! You are going to die!"
Jiang Bieyu took the quilt with a smile, and held Shi Qing together again with a quilt. The magnetic voice smiled in a low voice: "Hurry up and surround the quilt, and don't suffer from the wind and cold again."
"Isn't you good at freezing me just now?!"
While being rounded into a ball, Shi Qing stretched out jio from the ball and kicked him out of frustration.
While kicking and scolding: "Why are you here again, I have recruited more than 100 nursing homes alone, the inner third floor and outer third floors surround my yard day and night, do you grow wings or burrow into the ground, what do they do? I didn't kill you!"
Jiang Bieyu smiled and hugged the young master with a piece of quilt, to taste the sweet sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth:
"If they can stop me, I won't have the ability to take down the Acropolis."
"Don't stab me with the stubble, it hurts, hurts, take it away." Shi Qing turned his face away, stretched out his hand, and patted one side with one hand, just patted the man's cold, stubborn cheek, asking him to turn around and not touch him. own.
Jiang Bieyu followed his strength slightly back in a good-natured manner, and explained indulgently and indulgently: "After the Acropolis was conquered, I wanted to come to see you, so I went straight to see you. After rushing for three days, I didn't have time to wash up and change. Yi will come to look for you first, and next time I will come back after shaved."
"Bah! You still want to have a next time, go to your Spring and Autumn Dream, I will recruit another hundred nursing homes, and then two hundred people will guard my courtyard together, not to mention you are such a big living person, you are just one No flies can get in."
Shi Qing slapped the man's face with a slap, soft and weak, if it wasn't for the anger on his face, it would have been more like stroking.
He should be angry.
After all, Jiang Bieyu is a shameless scumbag. Even though everyone has left, he always finds a little chance to come back to meet him every year.
This guy may know that Shi Qing told Shi's family that he beat him once and every time he came in through the wall.
He just glanced at Shiqing's house, and he popped up every time when no one was there.
It has been three years, and he has actually taken the opportunity to eat the young master seven or eight times.
Counting some cheap, almost dozens of times.
And every time he comes, the opportunity is to win a city, or swallow a certain road.
Because he was afraid that the stubble on his face would pierce the young master's delicate skin, Jiang Bieyu didn't press the kiss this time, but the rogue moved his cold hands, which were blown by the wind, along the bedding. put on the body.
While putting it away, he said shamelessly: "My hands are very cold, you help me keep warm."
"Can't you cook with cold hands?! What are you doing on me, take it off!"
Shi Qing scolded him while dodging, but Jiang Bieyu, who had gone out to fight for three years, also became thick-skinned. Quan Dang didn't hear it, so he still had to put his hand on the heat source.
Seeing the indignation on the young master's face, he put down his face and coaxed softly: "I haven't slept for three days and two nights, just to see you, don't dislike me, if you don't keep me warm, I'm afraid I'll be a human being. They're going to freeze to death."
Sure enough, after he said these words, although Shi Qing's face was still angry, his struggling body didn't move much.
Jiang Bieyu's heart softened.
He knew that his Qing brother rejected him, but in fact, he still had him in his heart.
Shi Qing pulled the man who was clinging to him tightly, but before pulling away, he asked with a stern face, "Did you take down the Acropolis again? When did it happen?"
"Three days ago, the hard bones of the Acropolis were very difficult to chew. I led troops to surround them for two months before taking them down."
Jiang Bieyu rested his head on the shoulder of the young master playfully, and rubbed his head like a coquettish big dog:
"Brother Qing, I've listened to you. I won't hurt the people. I can take it if I attack by force, but it took me two months to live without hurting the people. You have to praise me."
Shi Qing has a hard heart and snorted coldly: "If you want the world, you need a good reputation, so that you don't hurt the people is good for you, not me, what I do to praise you should be your gratitude to me. That's right."
"Okay, thank you, I thank our brother Qing."
Jiang Bieyu has traveled so long to come here, isn't it just to hug his brother Qing
Now holding the soft body in my hand, I can't help but get up and down, my subordinates exert force, hugging the person and falling down, the magnetic voice is lowered:
"Just be grateful in bed."
"What are you doing, Jiang Bieyu, there are people outside, come down!"
The young master was kicking him angrily across the bedding when a girl's voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Qing, are you awake?"
Shi Qing pushed a man who was leaning on him like a big dog, and replied angrily, "Wake up, don't come in."
The girl wasn't surprised by his tone either. The young master had the urge to get up. If his tone was good when he got up in the morning, it would be strange.
She said: "Master sent someone, saying that the young master of Jiangcheng Wang's family is here and wants to visit you. He is waiting in the study now. Brother Qing, get up quickly and go see you."
"The young master of the Wang family?"
Shi Qing, strangely, pushed Jiang Bieyu hard again.
Jiang Bieyu got up obediently and replied, "It's the eldest son of your mother's sister, who is also a businessman, and is called Wang Zhancheng."
The young master looked at him in confusion: "How do you know him so clearly?"
Jiang Bieyu scratched the tip of his nose with a smile:
"I can remember the names of your relatives and where they live, so as not to accidentally offend them when you go to war, what should you do if you hate me and don't want to be with me."
"Who wants to be with you, get up for me now."
Shi Qing glared at him, got out of the quilt to find clothes to wear, Jiang Bieyu naturally took the clothes and put them on for him.
While wearing it, he said, "I will go with you to see him."
The young master frowned: "You?"
Jiang Bieyu touched his face and smiled: "It's okay, Wang Zhancheng has never seen me, and no one knows that I am Jiang Bieyu."
"laugh."
Shi Qing snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know the name of General Jiang, you have won dozens of cities in just three years, and now everyone is saying that this world is definitely yours."
Jiang Bieyu leaned over and stabbed him with stubble with a smile: "Yes, the world belongs to me, but I belong to you."
"Brother Qing, don't forget, I signed a contract."
After such a tie, I felt a little bit again.
Too bad the time is wrong.
Otherwise, the two can have a good fight.
So Wang Zhancheng saw in the study, in addition to his jade-like younger brother, a vicious man with a cold face, who looked a little unhappy when a good thing was interrupted.
After knowing that the other party was a servant, he thought, "My cousin is Niubi, but there is such a powerful person as a servant", and he expressed his various yearnings.
"Huh? Hypermarket?"
Shi Qing looked at a loss: "I also have a shop there. First of all, I will attract merchants with low rents. If there are more merchants, there will be more people. With more people, my shop can make more money."
Wang Zhancheng, who thought that Shi Qing had specially made a shelter for those small traders: "..."
He: "...So that's the case, but cousin, you open a school for free, invite students from all over the world, and include room and board. This is a good deed!"
Shi Qing touched his chin: "Exactly, what my cousin said is."
"But even though it's a good deed, I can't let myself suffer. Before the school opened, I contracted all the land around the school and built a lot of houses."
Wang Zhancheng couldn't understand: "Build a house?"
The young master smiled proudly: "Cousin, do you know, the school district room?"
Wang Zhancheng: "… school district housing?"
"The house built around the school is often much more expensive than the normal house. Because it is close to the school, many people will buy it for convenience. In this way, the house price will naturally go up. This is the school district housing. already."
Young Master: "This school has already made a name for itself. Not only poor students come here, but also the children of wealthy families who come to the great scholars and the library. They are often not willing to live in the school. At this time, the school district I built a long time ago. The house can be sold at a high price. They don’t care about the money, as long as it is convenient to live close by. To tell the truth from my cousin, the money for selling five houses is already the expenditure of the school for a whole year. After all, I am earning It’s a lot, plus those shops, it’s really a steady loss!”
Wang Zhancheng: "… "
Shi Qing was a little confused again, and continued with a little pride: "But did the outside world say that about me? Oh, sure enough, everyone knows my kindness very well."
Jiang Bieyu, who was on the side, looked at the young master softly, and replied in a warm voice, "Yes, our brother Qing is so kind."
Wang Zhancheng: "..."
He looked at his complacent cousin, who was completely different from the one he imagined, who had a warm heart for the country and the people.
Then look at that unfamiliar man who was obviously fierce but gentle, opened his eyes and told nonsense to coax his cousin.
There are only question marks in my heart.
I always feel... It was a mistake to come home.
