Chapter 74: Greed
(Thanks to the book friend Mr. Huazi, you are a book friend of Gu Dou Shi for the rest of your life, Autumn Wind Poke Song by A Dai, Wen Xinsh, Yu Linglong's master, brother, Guangya's first point guard and other book friends' rewards. There are too many people, please forgive me, I can't list them one by one, thank you here! I saw many familiar faces, and the Gunner was so happy.)
Wang Mingyi was as if he was hit by five thunder.
He looked at Li Che opposite him with tongues, unable to say a word.
Because of Wang Mingren's relationship, Li Che did not regard Wang Mingyi as an outsider, but naturally assigned the Wang family to his own power. After arriving in Yizhou and completing the official duties casually, he found Wang Mingyi and told the true purpose of the trip.
Wang Mingyi was stupid.
He thought that Li Ze must be from the Li clan, but he never expected that Li Ze was so big that he was another son that the governor had never announced to the public.
What is this?
Wang Mingyi was also from a big family, and he immediately reacted to the tricks here. He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He had already stepped onto Li Ze's boat with one foot. Now he had shares in Yixingtang and took Li Ze's people to Lu Long for several trips. The business was booming. He thought he was on the storm's sailboat, but unexpectedly there was a big hole in the boat, but it was originally blocked by wax. The heating would immediately capsize.
Li Che was also very delicate and heart-wrenching. When he saw Wang Mingyi’s face was wrong, he asked in confusion: “What’s wrong? Do you actually know that I have such a younger brother?”
Wang Mingyi stood up and bowed to the ground, "Major General, please forgive me."
"What's the matter? I have always been with your brother. He is also the most powerful general under my command. Just tell me what you have." Li Che pressed Wang Mingyi's hand and said with a smile.
"Major General, I really know this Li Ze, but here, it's really a coincidence. I really didn't expect the Major General to have such a relationship with him!" Wang Mingyi sat down with a bitter look on his face and began to tell from the beginning how he met Li Ze and began dating.
Listening to Wang Mingyi’s story, Li Che’s face gradually became more exciting.
"So, my little brother, whom I have never met before, has now set up a complete commercial network in Henghai?"
Wang Mingyi nodded and said, "Yes. Not only is it a commercial network, Yixingtang has been operating for many years, and has established a very solid network of contacts in Henghai. Yixingtang's income is rising every year, and this year it is conservatively estimated that it will exceed 200,000 yuan."
"Hey, 200,000 guan!" Li Che's face changed slightly. Even for Li Anguo, the governor of Chengde, this was not a small amount, let alone Li Che.
"What else do you know?" Li Che asked.
Wang Mingyi thought for a while and said, "By the way, wasn't there a riot in Shiyi not long ago? The rioters were defeated by the Henghai Army and rushed into Wuyi from Daqingshan. However, before they left Daqingshan, they were captured alive by the young master and his men. These people are now placed on a wasteland at the foot of Daqingshan, forming a new village called Qingshantun. The documents upwards are said to be the work of Yang Kai, the magistrate of Wuyi County, but as far as I know, they are all done by the young master."
"He still has an armed force?" Li Che frowned.
"It was those tenants." Wang Mingyi said: "The young master asked his guards to summon the young and strong among the tenants for military training every time during the slack season. According to Yang Kai, it was very well-organized."
“How many people are there?”
"About five or six hundred people!" Wang Mingyi said.
Li Che nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that my younger brother is really extraordinary. I don't know if I don't ask for it. This inquiry is really scary!"
"Oh, by the way, some time ago, the young master asked to take our caravan to Lu Long for a few trips, and got a lot of good horses from Lu Long, as well as fur, beef tendon, etc.." Wang Mingyi suddenly remembered this incident and quickly added.
"Haha! War horses, fur, beef tendon!" Li Che's muscles twitched a few times. These were strategic materials. Needless to say, war horses, fur can make leather armor, and beef tendons can make bowstrings. Now, if he has no idea, he doesn't believe it. If he has money, there are people, of course, there are soldiers. Fortunately, he discovered it early. If he discovered it late, I don't know how silently he would develop.
It's really a biting dog that doesn't bark!
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Tomorrow, we will go to Wuyi. Now I am becoming more and more interested in this little brother I have never met before. Ha, it's amazing!" Li Che laughed and drank the wine in front of him, and slapped the wine glass on the table.
It was late at night and Li Che had already gone to rest, but Wang Mingyi was walking around the room. He was frightened and turned around and went to find his father Wang Wenshu. After listening to Wang Mingyi's narration, Wang Wenshu also spoke for a long time.
"You've kept hiding such a big thing from me?" He looked at Wang Mingyi with some anger.
"My son also wants to make more money." Wang Mingyi swallowed, "That Yixingtang is indeed very profitable in Henghai."
"You want to put more money into your own pocket!" Wang Wenshu scolded, looked at his dejected son, and waved his hand again: "Forget it, what a big deal! Haven't you confessed everything to the eldest son? Those who don't know are not guilty, and that Li Ze is too cunning and trapped you in in a foggy way. The eldest son knew very well that you must not blame you for this matter, and he can't live without us, so you don't have to take this matter to heart. Next, you just need to accompany him."
"Where is Li Ze?" Wang Mingyi asked.
"What else can it be done? The eldest son suddenly came to Yizhou. It was impossible for the Jiedushi to know his intention. Since the Jiedushi didn't say anything publicly or privately, we just pretended to be confused and just thought he didn't know anything." Wang Wenshu pondered for a moment and said, "You can just let him do whatever you want."
"Dad, what do you think the eldest son will deal with this matter? Will that Li Ze be in danger of his life?" Wang Mingyi asked.
Wang Wenshu shook his head: "This is not the case, at least not now. If the Jieduan is alive for one day, Li Ze will not be in danger of his life. If the eldest son really does this, his reputation must be bad. But as you said, the eldest son is afraid he is jealous of the Little Prince's business. Hey, the income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year can be used to raise soldiers and how many weapons and equipment can be purchased! Our eldest son is not as content with the status quo as the Jieduan, he is ambitious."
Wang Mingyi nodded. "To be honest, Daddy, this young master Li Ze and Li are not ordinary people. I don't know how he did these things. Moreover, his son's interactions with him are really like a spring breeze, which makes people feel very comfortable. He is very good at doing things. When his son goes to his farm, he is very convinced by him when he sees him. The eldest master is domineering and terrifying, which makes people feel afraid. However, this young master makes you convince him without realizing it. Inadvertently, he has already done his business according to his requirements. Speaking of which, they have their own strengths."
"We outsiders should not be too involved in the fight, but because of your elder brother, we have to stand on the side of the eldest son, but the young master cannot do it too well. We must leave a line for doing things. When you go back, you send someone to send a letter to the young master and talk about this situation. Tell me more about your own necessity, and then Mr. Li doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, so naturally I understand." Wang Wenshu thought for a while, "Your father has lived at such a big age. He has really seen many things like a salted fish turning over and living in a desperate situation."
"Yes, Daddy, I'll send someone overnight." Wang Mingyi nodded in admiration.
