The busiest time of the day in Luofu is the evening.
Because every night, the ladies, young ladies and young masters in the house would come back for dinner.
This is the rule of the Luofu family. The whole family must eat dinner together every day.
This rule has been maintained for more than ten years.
But there are some exceptions today. The food has been prepared, but the master and the second young master have not yet served it.
According to the servants, the second young master came back in the afternoon and went to the master's study, but he still hasn't come out yet.
"Dad, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Luo Zhen said with excitement.
Luo Cheng looked at his second son, half-squinting his eyes, and said after a long time: "This news is not reliable at the moment. We cannot act rashly."
Luo Zhendao: "That Li Qi doesn't look like he's lying."
"Are you familiar with him?" Luo Cheng asked.
"I can't say I'm familiar with him, but he..." Luo Zhen hesitated and took out five thousand taels of silver notes from his arms: "This is what he gave me. If the news is unreliable, he doesn't need to take so much
Come to me with money to collect the plain yarn for him."
Li Qi clearly gave him ten thousand taels during the day, but now it has become five thousand taels.
Luo Cheng looked at the five thousand taels of silver notes without blinking, obviously he didn't like it at all: "The business in the palace is certainly very profitable, but it is also very risky. The origin of this Li Qi is unknown. I think it is better to be careful.
One, he is a person sent by the Chen family..."
"Impossible." Luo Zhen interrupted him, "I already sent someone to inquire in the afternoon. This Li Qi has no contact with the Chen family at all. And he said that he came from Jincheng. I
I also sent someone to the government to check the ultimatum and found that he was not lying."
Luo Zhen looked a little excited as he said this: "Dad, if we really win this business this time, neither the Chen family nor the Ma family will be our opponents in the cotton cloth war at the end of that year.
Isn’t our family the only one in Sioux City?”
"That's true, but I still feel something is wrong."
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Otherwise, you stock up for him first. I want to see how much plain yarn he can stock up... He will buy it at double the market price, even if we don't do palace business."
, you can make a lot of money by selling all the yarn to him."
"Dad, what you mean is that we should observe it first?"
"That's right. Taking advantage of this time, I will also ask people in Kyoto to inquire about the situation in the palace and see if this is really the case." Luo Cheng said.
"Okay, then let me follow your arrangements, dad."
Luo Cheng nodded: "It's almost time, let's go eat."
"yes."
…
Jiang Mansion.
After finishing his meal, Li Qi put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and burped with satisfaction.
Jiang Yuzhu on the side looked at him with disgust and said, "Do you usually eat like this?"
"What if?"
"Aren't you too vulgar?"
"Of course the main thing when eating is to be full. Does it matter whether you are vulgar or not?"
Jiang Yuzhu shook her head helplessly, and after a moment she asked: "Why do you come here to see my dad every day during this period?"
"Of course we're talking about business," Li Qi said.
"Business talk?" Jiang Yuzhu still didn't believe it.
"Otherwise, you think I came just to see you?"
Jiang Yuzhu was startled and blushed: "You are such a talkative person."
"You've known me for more than a day or two, and you still don't understand me?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows.
"Who are you? Why should I understand...I don't understand!"
Li Qi pouted, shrugged and sniffed: "Do you smell anything?"
Jiang Yuzhu frowned: "What does it smell like?"
Li Qi stared at her and said, "The smell comes from your body."
"kindness?"
"Every time you are by my side, even the air is sweet..."
Jiang Yuzhu came back to his senses and rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You say these things all day long!"
Li Qi grinned and said, "I don't have any intentions for you. If I have any intentions... I just want to make you happy."
No matter what I said before I traveled through time, I was the prince of earthy love stories.
Although Jiang Yuzhu was willful and savage, how could he endure such torture?
Although I know Li Qi is joking, every time I hear these words, I feel a little...
Just when Li Qi was about to unleash a few more big moves, the housekeeper walked in: "Master Li, I want you to go to the study to meet him."
Li Qi nodded, stood up and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu: "Okay, I have to go talk about business. Don't miss me too much."
Jiang Yuzhu made a face at him: "I don't miss you, please disappear for me."
"Do you know what my shortcomings are?" Li Qi asked seriously.
"What?"
"Shortcomings in you."
"Go to hell!!!"
Li Qi ran out in a hurry, feeling very happy in his heart.
He turned left and right and came to the study. When he entered, Jiang Yuxiu motioned for him to sit down: "The news you asked me to release for you has been released."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Qi said with cupped hands.
"Although I don't know what you want to do specifically, I still say the same thing. If you want to line your own pockets, don't blame me for being unkind." Jiang Yuxiu warned.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since I promised you, I will naturally do it. In two months at most, many jobs will appear in Suzhou City, and the living conditions of many poor people will also be completely improved."
Li Qi paused and said: "As soon as this situation begins, the pattern of Su City will be completely different in the future."
"I hope you didn't lie to me." Jiang Yuxiu said.
"How dare I lie to you, Your Majesty? I sincerely want to help Your Majesty."
"Okay, as I said, as long as you do things well for me, I won't treat you badly." Jiang Yuxiu said and threw something over.
Li Qi caught it and took a closer look and found that it was a sign. After looking at it for a long time, he still didn't understand what it was.
"From now on, you are the deputy commander of the Kyoto Forward Battalion, and this is your identity token." Jiang Yuxiu said.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.
Damn it, am I now an official?
So careless?
"Although this is only a sixth-grade official position, it can help you avoid some troubles. In addition, even if you are a prefect in other places, you will have to be treated a little less favorably." Jiang Yu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support." Li Qi cupped his fists and said.
"No need to thank you. Once you have settled the matter in Su City, go to Kyoto as soon as possible. Elder Huang of Feiyan Village is not in danger of life at the moment, but there is no guarantee that the emperor will kill her whenever he is in a bad mood.
Cut it off."
Jiang Yuxiu sighed and said to himself: "Being with you is like being with a tiger..."
