Chapter 378

After sleeping full, Ling Qingyu walked with the wind, eating brunch and looking at the letters and statements that had been placed for two days because of poor energy.

In less than a year, Xiao se had all the remaining industries and power of the Xiao family in his hand. Although it was said that there were five million liang of cash and goods given by Ling Qingyu as the backing, the boy's own strength was undeniable. Now the business routes of Jiangnan and Jinghu have been fully opened, and the strategy of "ten money" has also begun to cooperate with the Ling family.

When the ten coins and silver tickets have begun to buy and sell goods and exchange according to the predetermined proportion. When the ten coins are used more in Sichuan and Shaanxi roads, and then push forward to the Central Plains, the silver tickets start in the south of the Yangtze River, and the proportion has decreased from 100 to 99. There is no natural disaster this year. Maybe this year is another bumper harvest year, so it's good to reserve more materials.

As for Bianjing, when she arrived here, she learned that Yan Qi had already arranged for people from the red chamber to infiltrate Bianjing. The drunken hometown sold by Alan's people from the red chamber had caused several scandals in Bianjing. Of course, the biggest scandal was Princess Huayang, but the eunuchs who had been bribed by the red chamber said that after the affair between Princess Huayang and the bodyguard was exposed, they simply went outside the palace to find a man, not just for their own use, Unexpectedly, it was also introduced to Emperor Xiwen. Emperor Xiwen liked it earlier. Originally, he only played with eunuchs. Now that he had a daughter's contribution, he was immediately overjoyed. He not only completely connived at the affairs of Princess Huayang, but also sometimes pulled Huayang with his concubines. He was as obscene as he wanted.

The Ling family quietly opened several wine shops and teahouses in Bianjing City, as well as a silver building called linglongge and a spice shop called Dingxiang. They also opened a number of small shops in various parts of the city. People were mobilized from villages around the city. They didn't know each other, but let the Ling family reach deep into the alley.

Those in the vegetable and meat business bribed the purchasing managers of the gaomen courtyard with bribes and low prices, drank and chatted from time to time, including the gossip of the owner, and those in the silk Rouge business became one with those women. The Ling family gave instructions that it didn't matter to lose money, as long as the news came back.

If he Li wants to expand the recruitment of soldiers to 200000, and Meng Su also needs to expand the recruitment to 80000, then the military pay alone will need at least 10 million yuan a year. Meng Su's own earnings plus what he Li wants from the imperial court will be only 6 or 7 million yuan at most. Three million yuan can be solved in half with the production of silver, and then it is basically enough to give them the profits of trade with Tubo. However, this is the demand in peacetime. Once there is war, I'm afraid it won't be that number.

However, compared with the input of Ling family, it is really a decimal.

He Li hurriedly stopped at the door and watched her sitting in front of the window, biting the end of her pen, holding a steamed bun in one hand and turning over the account book in the other. Although she frowned, she was full of anger.

The account book showed a reflection. Ling Qingyu looked up and saw he Li at the door. He asked, "is it so early today?" After Yang Zhao's funeral, he libian had entertainment every day, including people from the Ministry of war, noble people, junior officers in the forbidden army, and the second prince.

"Well, I ran off my horse with the second prince in the morning. I have nothing else to do today." He Li walked into the house. The study was far smaller than that of Daixian County, but Ling Qingyu didn't want to do much to the temporary residence, so he had to make do with it.

"How?" Ling Qingyu bit the steamed stuffed bun, then put down the pen, closed the account book, and pushed the plate containing snacks at him, asking.

"The second prince is very concerned about your weak body and said that he would suggest to the emperor that you go to Chuang Tzu Shang to recuperate." He Li took a steamed stuffed bun, bit it, and sat down in a chair.

"What did you promise him?" Lingqingyu asked. The emperor and the political affairs hall asked her to come to Bianjing, and also made such a big and luxurious cage for her, which was not used as a hostage. How could she be so happy to let her out of the city?

"I'll give him 500000 liang of the military pay reissued by the political affairs hall this time." He Li took the tea bowl on the table, drank water, and said, "I guess he wants to win over the people of the 12th battalion of the forbidden guards."

Ling Qingyu glanced at the tea bowl he had just drunk a sip of water and said, "money is easy to handle. If money can win over the people of the 12th battalion of the forbidden guards, then we can consider contacting Dong Xiang or the Deng family?"

"It's dangerous. Don't come forward." He Li put down the tea bowl and said, "just ask Han Liang to send some money to them."

auzw. "For example, I'm really not in good health, so I want to go to Zhuangzi to cultivate myself?" Ling Qingyu frowned and said.

"You've fainted twice. Naturally, you're not well. Zhuang Zi Han Liang has bought it. It's only a day for Gao Liu to come there. We're all relieved that you're there." He Li's tone was flat.

"No! What else did you do?" Ling Qingyu turned her eyes and asked.

"I promised the match of the second prince to marry a Miss Wang," seeing Ling Qingyu's face slightly changed, he Li smiled at the corners of his mouth and said, "but now the general's bones are not cold, so this matter will be settled in a year."

Ling Qingyu shook his head unconsciously and said, "do they have no other way except to marry their daughter?"

"Consistency of interests is the most guaranteed, but who can guarantee that interests will always be consistent, so the most direct way is marriage." He Li smiled.

"Do you think I should also consider socializing in those ladies' circles?" Ling Qingyu held his chin with a trace of cunning and asked.

"If you want to go, go. If someone dares to insult you face to face, you can throw the cup and leave." He Li's smile widened, and he took the tea bowl and drank water again.

"What if I get beaten?" Ling Qingyu's eyes widened unconsciously.

"You can fight back, just those backyard ladies. Can't you fight?" He Li picked up the empty plate and motioned to shadow thirteen. It's gone! Then he turned back and said, "sharks dare to kill. Are you still afraid of hitting people?"

This proposal is awesome! You can really do this. What if you fight? My mother is now the Lord's wife! Ling Qingyu nodded unconsciously and said sincerely, "He Li, you are really talented!"

"There is another thing, listening to them when drinking with them recently, there should be two factions in the Zhao family army," He Li said seriously. "This time, Zhao Mingliang led the team, and Zhao Yinfeng's ten battalions did not fight. This time, Zhao Mingliang was defeated, and those people in the Zhao family army were dissatisfied. They said that if it was commander Zhao Yinfeng, it would not be defeated so miserably, and as a result, we got a bargain in Heishui."

"Cheap?!" Ling Qingyu was immediately angry, slapped the table hard, and clenched his teeth and said, "I can give them all this cheap, just a few more times! His mother! Who said that?!"

He Li took her hand, rubbed it in the palm that was already red, lowered his eyes, and his voice sank, "I remember everyone, and I'll always find it back, but you remember to pay more attention to the Zhao family. If what they said is true, there must be a contradiction between Zhao Mingliang and Zhao Yinfeng! The old man of the Zhao family is very cunning. The Zhao family has controlled the fourth northern route, and has a large number of soldiers. If you can split them, Bianjing will be even more chaotic."

Zhao Yinfeng? Ling Qingyu's eyes drifted for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see, I'll let them stare more."

"I heard that there is a shop that tastes good. Do you want to go out for lunch?" He Li raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

Ling Qingyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "OK."

"Thirteen, you also changed your clothes." He Li stood up and said, "I'll wait for you at the door."
