Chapter 61 Various banquets
The world is prosperous and prosperous, all come for profit; the world is often for profit.
In this world, whether it is copper coins, cloth, gold and silver, it is for profit.
For some people, the emperor's death is not sad, but rather a happy event. There are important moments of change of interests and replacement between the old and new.
For example, during this period of the forbidden music when the late emperor passed away, the Yongzhou Military Supervisor's Mansion still had the taste of wine and color, and only three people could enjoy it.
The maid with colorful clothes was holding a delicious food with a full range of color and fragrance, and approached gracefully and enchantingly. When serving, she would occasionally throw her eyes and twist her waist, so as not to mention that she would have eaten too much.
At present, they still eat separately. When they sit on a chair and have a reunion dinner, they can still get the Song Dynasty.
"I have seen meat and fish these days!" Looking at the dishes on his desk, Li Jia drank a sip of wine and felt a little moved. The emperor died and there was so much trouble. Isn't this making him malnutrition?
"Not to mention the husband, even I have endured the hard work!" On the main seat, Liu Jianjun, with gray hair, was drinking wine and eating meat under the service of a beautiful girl.
Hearing Li Jia's feelings, he also said:
"We have been working hard for the emperor for many years, but I expected that when he passed away, I would have to work hard. It's so hard!"
"But we are old and can't eat meat for a few days, so we can't stand it. There is no way, so we can only eat it privately, ah? Hahahaha--"
Speaking of this, Liu Jianjun suddenly laughed, especially brilliant.
Of course, he also had reasons to laugh. Not long ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and cleared some old people. With Gong Chengshu's relationship, Li Jia cleared up some of them. In addition, he was transferred from Jianwu Town to the Maritime Warehouse Office in Panyu, which was a big shortage.
And this small banquet is also a sign of celebration.
"Yes, yes, not only the military supervisor, but even I can't stand it. I think I will be able to serve the late emperor for many years, and the late emperor will understand it!"
Liu Wen, the new military supervisor who was sitting beside him, complained about the military supervisor and said shamelessly:
"We still have to keep a useful body to serve the emperor, how can we ruin myself?"
Looking at this concert, although Li Jia expressed her expression on her face, she had a new understanding of the moral integrity of these two people.
Generally, after the emperor dies, he is not allowed to drink and eat meat within a hundred days. Looking at the wine and meat in front of him, Li Jia directly picked up a piece of mutton:
"What does it have to do with me after the emperor's death?"
"Langjun, please drink this cup--" As he said, the military inspector picked up the high-foot cup on his desk, looked at Li Langjun's face, and said solemnly.
"Congratulations to the military supervisor, please--" Li Jia also picked up the cup, with a smile on her face.
A small banquet ended with Liu Jianjun's fall, and Li Jia was in a good mood.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Liu Jianjun!!" Li Jia was not as drunk as before when she walked with Liu Wen. Instead, she was very energetic. She looked at the army's godson and her steps were particularly steady.
"Happy together, happy together!" Liu Wen showed a sincere smile at this time. He looked up at the gray sky. Although the weather in Yongzhou today was not good, he was particularly relaxed and without the depression of the past.
"Until today, I feel that I really live like a person!"
The book of Liu Jianjun's transfer to the Maritime Bureau was also his order to succeed the Jianjun of Jianwu Town. After more than twenty years of hard work, he was relieved today.
"You know, Mr. Lang, I now understand what the ancients said about the meaning of "going bitterness and sweetness to end the suffering..."
As he said that, his eyes looked at Li Jia, full of gratitude. He understood that if this young man had not exercised his strength, he would have never had a chance to make a comeback in his life.
"This is how life is. Only until the last moment do you know what cause and effect you planted!" Li Jia said softly.
"My husband is really going to leave Yongzhou?" Liu Wen said in confusion: "In Yongzhou, the Li family has a deep foundation. To put it in an exaggeration, what you say is better than the military supervisor, why should you leave?"
"Of course-" Li Jia replied casually.
"Yongzhou is beyond my reach! The Li family needs a wider world, not in Yongzhou, this remote place, to be a small landlord who entertains himself!"
"The Li family in Yongzhou may be extremely prosperous in your eyes, but in Panyu and Bianjing, they are just an ant."
"You, what you said is reasonable!" Liu Wen choked, sighed, and said, "We are just ants!"
"Please rest assured that Yongzhou will surely be as stable as a mountain!" Liu Wen said solemnly.
"Okay—" Li Jia smiled.
…………
After the banquet, Li Jia still has one more event.
"Why haven't this Li Langjun arrived yet?"
"You said, what's wrong with Li Langjun gathering together today?"
"It's such a big deal, with hundreds of people, only the Li family can do it!"
A villa outside Yongzhou City is also one of the places where the Li family can escape the summer heat on weekdays. It is not luxurious, but it is definitely large in scale.
At this time, the lights were brightly lit, and hundreds of shopkeepers of all sizes gathered here, sitting or standing, talking in groups of three or five, some frowning and contemplative, some chatting and laughing, and the courtyard was very lively.
But Li Langjun, who gathered everyone, came late.
"What? Do they have resentment?" Li Jia did not feel guilty about her lateness at all, but instead asked.
"How dare they!" An Guo changed Li Jia's clothes while answering disdainfully:
"The husband of the Lang should feel honored to recruit them!"
"Yes, they should feel honored!" Li Jia showed a smug smile and slowly left.
"Everyone, Li Jia took the liberty to invite everyone to come this time, and there is something important to discuss!"
When the crowds were crowded, Li Jia shouted softly, but the sound was not loud, but it made the entire courtyard quiet and the needles could be heard.
"I don't know what happened to you, the husband, who invited the merchants in Jianwu Town to come?" Jianwu Town has few thalassin people, and they rely on the transactions of the 68-hole barbarians to achieve these businesses. Of course, the rise of the Li family is the same.
Business is both big and small, so it is naturally the one who is recommended to talk to Li Jia at this moment.
"Of course it's a great thing!"
Li Jia glanced lightly, responded casually, then turned around and said to everyone with a full momentum:
"The 68-hole barbarians at Jiangzuo and Jiangyou are countless tribes of all sizes, so you have started your own business and lived!"
"And, the things we traded through mountains and rivers, were bought by those tinkerers at low prices, and then sold them to Panyu, Central Plains, and even the foreigners at high prices!"
Speaking of this, Li Jia looked bitter and revenge, as if she was exploited, and she opened her eyes wide and shouted.
"Everyone, do you want to watch others get something for nothing?"
"Of course we don't want to-"
"I don't want to, I don't want to-"
The small businessmen below empathized with each other, and were indignant and kept talking about cooperation.
The big merchants were restless. Faced with such a situation, they were extremely uneasy. The man in front of them seemed to be a vicious tiger waiting for an opportunity to eat.
