Li Yanqing did not rush to go to the military camp, but came to Baoyanzhai Main Store. Last night, his father, stepmother Yang and his younger sister Baoniang arrived in Qiantang County very late. The whole family was very tired, and the father and son did not talk too much. Li Yanqing was going to see his father today.

He knew that his father must have been in Baoyanzhai early this morning, so he didn't go to his father's mansion and went directly to Baoyanzhai's main store.

The main store is located in the middle of Qianjiang Street, which is the core location of the city. Although the business in the west of the county is also very developed, the teahouse and restaurant industry is mainly dominated by the teahouse and restaurant industry. The shops that buy and sell goods are still concentrated on both sides of Qianjiang Street, that is, on both sides of the future Yu Street.

Of course, Li Daqi will not be stingy with the land when building the Baoyanzhai main store. The main store covers an area of ​​30 acres. The width of the shop selling rouge perfume is twenty feet, which is equivalent to the width of twenty stores. All Baoyanzhai products are concentrated in it.

Although the conversion of Qiantang County into a capital has not officially started, the children of powerful and officials in Tokyo have basically arrived. Especially after the plague in Tokyo Bianliang, even the families of officials who were forced to stay in the capital came to Qiantang County in advance. Baoyanzhai's old customers can basically keep them. For these powerful and noble children who live in Tokyo, although Hangzhou is safe, life is still very inconvenient compared to Tokyo.

However, after Baoyanzhai, Alum Tower, Zhu Skull Teahouse, Qingfeng Tower, Pan Tower, Cao Grandma Meat Cake and other famous shops opened one after another, these powerful and noble children finally found their former lives again.

Baoyanzhai currently has only two stores in Qiantang County. The main store is of course the largest store. The shops are filled with young girls, young women and noble ladies. The ones who receive them are beautiful and gentle female clerks. Thirty female clerks enthusiastically put on makeup and introduce products to the female customers. Half of the entire second floor is a dressing room.

Li Yanqing did not enter the store, but walked into the Baoyanzhai Main Store from the door next to it. There was a large patio in the middle, the size of two basketball courts. Several big trees were planted inside, and there were many stone tables and chairs under the big trees, so that the accountants could come out to change the fresh air and take a break.

"Why haven't the April account been delivered to Chengdu Prefecture? I know the distance is long, but I can ask them to send a briefing with a pigeon letter first. I want to know the general situation!"

The voice of his father Li Daqi came from the large study on the second floor to the east, as if criticizing his poor management. Li Yanqing walked up to the second floor. Several managers who were waiting for the report at the door were waiting for the report and hurriedly wanted to go in and report, but Li Yanqing waved his hand and signaled not to disturb him. He walked in directly.

The big study room is also called Dongzhu Room, which is Li Daqi's room in Baoyanzhai. Li Daqi was sitting behind a large desk, criticizing a manager for his poor work.

At this time, when Li Daqi saw his son walking into the room, he said to the manager: "Send the Ge letter to Jiangxia first, and then send the Ge letter from Jiangxia to Baoyanzhai, Chengdu, and ask Manager Zhao to send a briefing with the Ge letter immediately."

"I understand, this is sending a pigeon letter!"

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around and went out. Li Daqi walked to the door and said to the other managers: "Report the account and continue in the afternoon, everyone will go back first."

Everyone left one after another, Li Daqi closed the door, smiled on his face, and said to his son: "Baoer and the others have received it!"

"They came just after dawn, and Emperor Ji came with her. She is currently living with Yun Niang and the others."

"I think this matter is a bit inappropriate. How can the Emperor Prince be a concubine? This is so joking!"

Li Daqi was really worried. Since he heard about this, he had never let go of his heart. The other party was a dignified princess! It was not impossible to marry his son, but being a concubine for his son, this marriage somewhat subverted Li Daqi's view of superiority and inferiority.

Li Yanqing explained with a smile: "My father was thinking too much. First of all, she was not a concubine, but a concubine of Anyang County Prince. Like Yunniang, she was awarded the title of first-rank lady. The external etiquette was the same as Yunniang. In other words, I have two princesses, such as the queen holding a banquet for all officials. My mansion will send two invitations, and both princesses will attend. However, within our Li family, the princess is a flat wife, one level lower than the official wife Yunniang."

Li Yanqing explained this, Li Daqi finally accepted that little bit. As for the princess’s title of princess, it sounds a bit strange, but there are precedents in history. Princess Lu Yuan, the eldest daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Han, married Prince Zhao Zhang Ao as his wife, as long as he was a king of different surnames.

However, Li Daqi also knew that the emperor was winning over his son. This kind of marriage was very special. It was different from ordinary marriages and he could not interfere at will. Li Daqi sighed, "You can do this matter! I will just ask."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Dad don't have to worry about this matter. The Supreme Emperor was captured and died in the north. At this time, the marriage should not be publicized. The official has already expressed his opinion that the marriage will be simple and the enthronement is grand. It basically does not require us to work hard."

"Then I'm relieved, but you can't let Yunniang down. She has taken care of more than 100 family members for you this year and has put in a lot of effort. You kid have to do things with your conscience. If you don't have a princess, you will get rid of your wife!"

Li Yanqing was a little amused and crying, "What is Daddy talking about? How could I lose Yunniang?"

Li Daqi glared at him, "I'll just say it, you'll just listen."

Li Yanqing had no choice but to stop saying a word. Li Daqi said again: "I'm very busy today. If you have nothing else, go back!"

"I'm here today for something important."

Li Daqi nodded and asked someone to send two cups of tea. Then he waved his hand, "Sit down and talk!"

Li Yanqing sat down, and a tea boy brought in two cups of tea. Li Daqi drank a tea ceremony: "What did you say?"

"The first thing is that the court wants to award his father the title of Zhu Guoxun."

Since his son was granted the title of Prince of the County, Li Daqi no longer attaches great importance to official positions. He is a businessman, and his pursuit of titles is nothing more than to gain a certain political status. Now that his son is Prince of the County, his status is enough.

Of course, he also had to consider his son, and the prince's father naturally had to grant certain honorary officials to express his status. Although Zhu Guo was a second-rank honorary official, except for his higher status, there were actually no substantial benefits.

Li Daqi asked in a deep thought: "What about your mother?"

"My mother posthumously named the county lady, and she can rebuild the cemetery."

Li Daqi nodded, "This is the best. I will repair your mother's clothes, crowns and tombs in two days. After the repair, you will take your wife and children to worship."

"I remember that there is another thing, I wonder if my father is interested."

"you say!"

"I received a letter from the official yesterday, asking that Xiang's shops, manors, mines and other shops be sold. I wonder if my father is interested?"

Li Daqi's eyes lit up, "What price?"

Of course, Li Daqi knew that the Xiang family's industries were all good things, so why didn't he want them? The key was the price. If the price was right, he would definitely take down several industries. Li Daqi had been jealous for a long time.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Xiang's family sold a cave of ghost teahouse to the owner of Guo Silang's teahouse, and the price was 10,000 taels of silver."

"Nonsense!"

Li Daqi slapped the table in a hurry, "The land price of a cave ghost teahouse is at least 20,000 taels of silver, as well as teahouses, tea prostitutes, and a thousand acres of tea gardens in Suzhou. And this famous brand, you can't buy 50,000 taels of silver."

"The problem is that the government finally admitted this transaction."

Li Daqi suddenly understood, "You mean, can Xiangjia's industry be purchased at a cheap price?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Let's take the first cave of ghost teahouse as a precedent, and other industries are sold at a discount. Of course, most people don't have this opportunity. In fact, the powerful are divided up. The official gave me three places, and my father can choose it himself!"

As he said that, Li Yanqing took out a roster from his arms and handed it to his father. Li Dazhi hurriedly took the roster and opened it. There were more than 170 industries in total, and there were clearly marked prices next to him. He could choose three of them.

"I will take the lead in giving the other half of Fengle Building!"

Li Daqi first wants the other half of Fengle Building. Fengle Building is located by the West Lake, covering an area of ​​20 acres. The land price alone is worth 100,000 taels of silver. Li Daqi himself estimated the price. Fengle Building is worth at least 300,000 silver, and half of it is also 150,000 taels. Now the price is only 300,000 silver. Where can I find such a good thing?

"I want this harbor dock in Mingzhou!" Li Daqi pointed to the Mingzhou harbor dock in the roster.

He and Zheng Xiaopang's family jointly bought a small wharf with 30 acres in Mingzhou. They spent 100,000 guan at that time, including a warehouse. The dock of Xiang's wharf was next to them. It was the largest harbor wharf in Mingzhou, covering an area of ​​500 acres. There were eight warehouses alone. Li Daqi estimated that it was 300,000 taels of silver, but now it only sold for 20,000 taels of silver. At such a low price, Li Daqi's eyes were a little red.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Is my father busy buying so many industries?"

Li Daqi smiled and said, "Then you don't understand. Actually, I don't need to take care of you. Over the years, I have trained a group of great managers and are loyal to me. I hand over the industry to them to manage, and I just pay attention to the accounts and collect money."

Speaking of collecting money, Li Daqi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly searched in the list. The third item was his long-awaited target, Xiang's Huijin and Silver Shop, which was one of the three major silver shops in the world designated by the imperial court to exchange for silver, and the price was only 200,000 taels of silver.

"Yanqing, can I choose Huijin and Silver Shop?"

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, the Cao family of Huijin and Yinshou also wants it."

Li Daqi showed disappointment on his face. The best industry of Xiang's family was Huijin and Yinshou. Unexpectedly, the Cao family took the lead, so he had to sigh.

"How about this!"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "My father transferred half of Fengle Building to the Cao family. I persuaded the Cao family to transfer half of Huijin and Yinshou to his father, so that neither of them would suffer any losses."

Of course, Fengle Tower cannot be compared with Huijin and silver shops all over the world. Li Daqi agreed without hesitation.

"Since I gave up the Fenglelou member, my father can choose another one."

Li Daqi looked at the list and smiled and said, "How about the pearl treasure qi?"

Jewelry is one of the three major jewelry shops in Tokyo. The Jewelryry in Qiantang County is next door to Baoyanzhai and has been seized. However, Li Daqi knew that the gems in the underground warehouse of this store were countless, and it covers an area of ​​ten acres. Now it only costs 10,000 taels of silver, which is simply a free gift.

Li Yanqing nodded happily, "Since my father has a crush on it, it is best to go to the state government office this afternoon to settle them, pay 30,000 taels of silver first, and pay the remaining silver within a month. I will go to my father-in-law to discuss the matter of gold and silver shops now, and give my father a clear reply before noon!"
