Chapter 52 Share Partnership

Li Yanqing hired a ox cart and returned to Lushan Town. He was thinking about this along the way. He actually wanted to find something for his father to do. The family genealogy of the Township will only last for a year or two. What about the future? From the long run, his father still needs to have a long-term and stable income.

During this period, my father was fascinated by the family affairs and worked very hard. Li Yanqing fully understood his father's mood. He longed to gain dignity and restore his reputation, but it was not enough to just do it stupidly. If he wants to gain respect from his clan members, he still had to make a fuss about interests.

Like Li Dongdong, he doesn't know a big word, but everyone respects him very much. Why? Isn't it just the word "profit"? If the money is too big, let the clan members and neighbors share the interests, the respect of the clan members will come naturally.

Li Yanqing arrived in Lushan Town in the evening. He did not go home immediately, but went to the patriarch's mansion. The family in the mansion met him and hurriedly took him to his guest hall for a while. Soon, Li Wenyou also came out after hearing the news.

"Qing'er, didn't your father say you went to the county?" Li Wenyou asked when he walked into the hall.

Li Yanqing gave a gift to the patriarch and said with a smile: "I went to the county in the morning and came back after finishing the work."

Li Wenyou also learned from Li Daqi that Li Yanqing made money by writing books. He was not surprised that he could not do anything with the possession of the great ancestor.

Li Wenyou asked Li Yanqing to sit down, and then asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "I was worried that your father would go to the capital with me, and what should you do if you have no one to take care of you? Now I am not worried anymore, I can even earn money, can't find a place to eat?"

"The patriarch is right. You don't have to worry about this little thing. Today I come, but there is something to discuss with the patriarch."

"What's up?"

"How does the patriarch think of Li Dongdong?"

Li Wenyou thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't like him very much. This man brags about himself. He clearly opened a coolie teahouse on the pier outside Kaifeng City. He insisted on boasting that he opened a big teahouse on Yu Street. Do I think I don't understand? Opening a shop on Yu Street, is it his turn?"

"Actually, the patriarch also needs to understand him! Everyone needs face. Whoever is outside who returns to his hometown and doesn't brag about himself?"

"You're right. What did you mention him?"

Li Yanqing told the story of Li Dongdong in his county, and then said his plans, and finally said: "Actually, I think if Li Dongdong is really in the capital, the family will pay the capital and contact the goods. He will sell it in the capital. This is indeed a way to make money. Once you make money, you can support the children of the clan to go to school and cultivate capable young children. In this way, the family will prosper step by step. What does the patriarch think?"

Li Wenyou was extremely superstitious that Li Yanqing was possessed by the Great Ancestor. Seeing that Li Yanqing was considering the prosperity of his family everywhere, he believed that this was the Great Ancestor's will. He nodded quickly and said, "Qing'er was completely correct, I will do it!"

Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "I just made a suggestion. We have to discuss the specific details. I have ideas and the patriarch has experience. Let's talk about it."

Li Wenyou is an extremely smart person. He has not considered this matter, but he couldn't believe in Li Dongdong, so he didn't agree. However, since Li Yanqing proposed it, that's another matter.

Li Wenyou pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this Li Dongdong didn't tell you the truth. The reason why he didn't want to open a teahouse was because he invested the money he had saved for many years into a black market for private wine. As a result, the private wine was seized and confiscated by the government. Several parties involved sued, Li Dongdong lost all his money and sold the tea shop. He was desperate and wanted to be a tooth. I was afraid that he would take my money to pay off the debt, so he didn't agree to lend him money."

"Does he still owe debts outside?" Li Yanqing was also a little surprised.

"I don't know if I have any debts. I just don't like him very much, but Qing'er thinks he is feasible, so she can also give it a try."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I'm worried about whether he has a way in the capital?"

Li Wenyou smiled slightly, "Don't worry about this. His father-in-law is a bad guy and has many ways. This time he went back to his hometown to buy medicine, which was his father-in-law's entrustment. But his father-in-law hated him for being incompetent and refused to lend him a penny. I had sent someone to the capital to touch his bottom before, but he did not lie, but was afraid of people making jokes, so he refused to mention his father-in-law's matter."

Li Yanqing knew it in his mind. It seemed that the patriarch and he coincided with him, and he also wanted to use Li Dongdong's line, so he sent someone to touch his bottom.

Li Yanqing remembered that when the clan sacrifice was at that night, the clan leader deliberately ignored Li Dongdong and was just slandering him! It seemed that the clan leader was also a cunning person.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Class leader, I will give another suggestion."

"You say, I'll listen."

Li Yanqing said slowly: "It's better to open a business for this matter. The clan leader and I spend the capital. Li Dongdong converted it into the capital according to his approach. The three companies each accounted for the share. Even if they lost money, the capital would be the upper limit. If they made a profit, the profit would be divided by share. In addition, a few clan members would be recruited to do business. Their expenses would be deducted as expenses. When the business grew bigger, they would take out part of the profit to help clan members study and help them. What do the clan leader think?"

Li Yanqing was talking about the company system, but he just described it in a common way. When Li Wenyou understood it, he nodded and asked with a smile: "How much does Qing'er have?"

Li Yanqing took out the jiaozi roll and put it on the table, "This is the jiaozi roll from Hongdengyin Store in Daming Mansion. There are 200 taels of silver in it, which is my capital invested."

Li Wenyou was surprised. Two hundred taels of silver were a lot of money! Even Xiaohe Township, few families could take it out.

Li Wenyou thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! We will use one thousand guan as the foundation, and I will add another eight hundred guan. I will account for 50% of the shares, Qing'er's 30% and Li Dongdong's 20%."

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Li Dongdong's 20% is too little, and he can't mobilize his enthusiasm, so I'll just let half of it give it to him."

"You don't have to let it go!"

Li Wenyou said decisively: "I'll give him another 10% to him, I'm 40% to him, Qing'er 30% to him, and Li Dongdong 30% to him, that's it."

Although the framework and shares of the business have been finalized, there are still many details that need to be considered, such as financial management, material circulation, business scope, supply and marketing authority, etc. These things have been passed down from ancient times to the present, but the statements are different.

Especially this also involves Li Dongdong's father-in-law. Li Dongdong plans to use his father-in-law's way to do business. So how can his father-in-law calculate the interests here?

Li Wenyou is an extremely smart person. How could he let his money from Li Yanqing be wasted? He must confirm some things with Li Dongdong clearly and cannot be ambiguous at all.

That night, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Dongdong, asking Li Dongdong to come to see him the next day.

However, there was one thing that Li Wenyou ignored intentionally or unintentionally. He did not tell Li Wengui about it. The Li family's property is controlled by Li Wengui, and he did not want his brother to intervene in this business.













Since Li Daqi took his son to sweep the tomb of his deceased wife, his thoughts have come to an end, but he still wants to move his wife's tomb back. In the past, the Ding family was too strong and he had no choice. Now he is gradually turning over. In any case, he cannot accept the reality that his wife is buried in his parents' cemetery.

Li Daqi's heart is as clear as a mirror. He knew that the Ding family's attitude began to change. The fundamental reason was because of his son. If he wanted to move the tomb of his deceased wife back, he had to rely on his son.

Although Li Daqi knew that this would not be possible in a short while, if he didn't discuss it with his son, he felt as uncomfortable as a cat's claw, so Li Daqi came to his son's room.

Li Yanqing was doing homework at his desk. They were on the eleventh day of the holiday. Class was about to begin on the seventh day of the first lunar month. His master Yao Ding assigned them a lot of calligraphy and writing. A few days ago, Li Yanqing was busy writing books, delaying his homework. Seeing that school was about to start in two days, he had to work hard to do his homework.

"Qing'er, Daddy has something to discuss with you, and it will take your time a while."

"It's okay, daddy, come in!"

Li Daqi pushed the door and saw his son writing at his desk. Yao Ding attached great importance to the students' calligraphy and grasped it very closely. The students' holiday homework is mainly calligraphy, especially students like Li Yanqing who are focusing on it. It is absolutely impossible to write dozens of articles to fool the students.

Li Daqi stood beside his son and watched for a while, and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Compared to when he first entered school, his son's calligraphy has made great progress, and there is no problem in taking the imperial examination.

Looking at the content written again, it turned out to be "Lüshi Chunqiu". Li Daqiu couldn't help but be stunned. "Lüshi Chunqiu" is very rare and he is not familiar with him. How could his son think of Mo? This is Yao Ding's request?

Li Yanqing did not look up, but he knew his father's doubts, so he wrote and explained: "This is not the Master's request. Other students wrote "The Analects of Confucius" or "Mencius". Master felt that I had no problem, so he just wrote whatever I wanted. Last time, the boy happened to us and we almost fell into "Lüshi Chunqiu", so I wanted to make up for this lesson."

"So that's it, then you can keep writing! Let's talk about it another day."

"What's wrong with Dad?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile on his face.

"I was thinking, we have to move your mother's tomb back. Our family has three acres of ancestral land and one acre of land. The feng shui of this is not bad. I want to bury your mother there. I can also bury your mother with you in a hundred years."

"Since that's the case, Daddy will talk about this to the Ding family!"

Li Daqi hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I will say that the Ding family won't buy it."

"Dad is afraid of seeing his aunt!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

Li Daqi blushed and glared at his son fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense, Daddy only has your mother in his heart, and he will never marry again."

Seeing that his father was a little annoyed, Li Yanqing put away his jokes and thought for a while and said, "March and war should focus on three strategies: top, middle and lower. Let's move my mother's coffin back, and we must also talk about countermeasures."

Li Daqi was excited, "What three strategies?"

"The best strategy is to ask for the right reasons. If the father comes forward, then ask the patriarch to help him ask for it. Generally speaking, it should not be a big problem, but if the patriarch cannot even come forward, then we can only use the patriarch."

"What about Zhongce?" Li Daqi asked hurriedly again.

"Zhongce means suing the official, and the magistrate will make a judgment. Liu is a person who is etiquette. He will not ignore such things that violate human ethics."

"If the Ding family is unwilling to execute the official order and refuses to agree, the magistrate will be helpless in the end?" Li Daqi was a little worried. What should they do if Zhongce also failed?

"Then we can only make the worst case, use extraordinary means to induce or force the Ding family to agree, but the child believes that this is not a big deal, and there is no need to use the worst case, and the head of the family can do it."

Li Daqi nodded, and he also made up his mind to find a suitable opportunity to talk to the patriarch in the next few days.

At this time, Li Yanqing wanted to tell his father about opening a business with Li Dongdong. Although his father had no experience, if the patriarch had the idea, his father could still run errands.
