It clearly felt like the two of them were still chatting a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye they were gone...
Li Qi already had a general concept in his mind about his understanding of this world.
This Great Xia Dynasty had sound laws and a large number of merchants. Not only that, there were also many martial arts masters.
Whether they are people from the imperial court or people from the martial arts world, almost everyone possesses unique skills.
If you want to survive in this world, you must find a way to make a living.
Cuihonglou is naturally good, but if you want to make it bigger, it’s not going to work.
Moreover, Jincheng was only a third-tier city in the Great Xia Dynasty.
If you just want to live and die, then there is no problem at all in staying here and opening a brothel.
But I’ve already traveled through time, so why can’t I do something big by myself?
Not to mention getting a good job in a yellow robe and eating a lot of meat and fish, but you still have to make a career, right?
After coming to this era for more than two months, Li Qi made various plans for himself in his mind, and many things were overturned one by one.
For example, when it comes to inventions, you don’t even know how to make soap, let alone how to make a steam engine or distilled liquor.
God damn knows how to make those things. To put it bluntly, in Li Qi's time, if you grabbed ten young people on the street and asked them if they knew how to make these things, it would be fine if one out of ten could.
Not bad.
Among the young people of his time, who was not playing games, binge-watching TV series, surfing the Internet...
Li Qi is also very clear that his advantage in this era is nothing more than a certain information gap. To put it bluntly, he is knowledgeable, has received nine years of compulsory education, and is a little ahead in thinking.
By the way, one more thing is that I have watched a lot of dramas.
Do you remember a certain movie that said this?
"When you have watched more than 1,000 movies, you will find that there is nothing weird in this world..."
But if you want to use these things to get ahead in this era, it seems that it is not enough.
To sum up, Li Qi's only way is to do business. Although he is a scumbag in finance, the teaching materials of his time all gathered the essence of ancient people for thousands of years.
Even just a little bit of fur may have unexpected effects.
Didn't Newton say something?
"If I have seen further, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."
It’s easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees, that’s why.
Thinking about it, Li Qi stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the moon in the sky through the small window, and slowly recited a poem: "If you don't refine elixirs, you won't meditate, and you won't plow the fields just for merchants. Take your time.
Don’t worry about spending money, I want to make my name known in the world..."
…
Tu Boshu was very excited when her father replied to the letter, but when she saw the content in the letter, she was a little dumbfounded.
According to my father's intention, now that the matter of Li Guan's false accounting has been found out, it's enough and there should be no further investigation at this point.
He also said that Li Guan also wrote a letter to him, saying that a man named Li Qi collaborated with the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang to blackmail him, so he framed him. Now that Li Qi and the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang were having an internal conflict, he found out the truth.
When he saw this letter, Tu Boshu was so angry that he kept scolding his father for being stupid.
Just when she was about to write a reply, Hou Jun, who had delivered the letter, stopped her.
Hou Junnai was a disciple of Tu Boshu's family and one of her father's confidants.
This man has a well-proportioned figure with wolf waist and ape arms. He wears brocade clothes and an embroidered coat, and has a bronze complexion. He has a short sword one foot and two inches long at his waist. The width of the blade is one inch and two cents. The handle is made of wood and is four and a half inches long. The handle is made of copper.
The scabbard is prismatic, with a gold and black scabbard, and a medium-sized "Hour" character engraved in the middle.
Hou Jun came here this time, firstly to deliver a letter, and secondly to take a look at this young lady with whom he has a good relationship.
The two have known each other for seven years and have a very good relationship with each other since they are not much different in age.
This time Tu Boshu was going out, and he was originally going to come with him, but because of something else, he didn't go with him.
"Yuyou, I'm afraid my boss won't be able to receive your reply at this time," Hou Jun said.
Tu Boshu turned to look at him: "Brother Hou, what do you mean by this?"
"My boss has been doing a business recently and has left the butcher's house. So if you write back now, he may not be able to receive it."
"But, how could father do this? That Li Guan..."
Hou Jun interrupted her with a smile and said, "Are you angry because your father didn't punish Li Guan severely?"
Tu Boshu sat aside angrily, and one word popped out of his nose: "Yes."
"Fortunate Escort Agency has so many semicolons in Daxia. Why do you think it is the first escort agency in Daxia?" Hou Jun calmly sat aside and poured a cup of tea.
"Of course it's because my father has a clear sense of grudges and is a good businessman." Tu Bo said.
"That's true, but have you ever thought about how the owner of Fuyun Escorts manages so many semicolons in an orderly manner?"
Tu Boshu looked at Hou Jun doubtfully: "What does Brother Hou want to say?"
"My boss seems to be siding with Li Guan, but in fact he's trying to beat him up? It's not difficult to punish a Li Guan, but what happens after he's crippled? At that time, Jincheng's escort agency will have to send people over to manage him.
Can a person guarantee that he will not be corrupt at all? Moreover, Li Guan has been in Jincheng for many years and is very familiar with the situation and connections here."
Hou Jun paused and continued: "After this incident, Li Guan will restrain himself a lot. Similarly, the boss also wants to give him a chance."
"But he can't frame anyone! That friend of mine is still in prison!" Tu Boshu gritted his teeth.
"My boss just said in the letter that he believed in Li Guan, but he didn't tell you not to save people..."
"You mean..."
Hou Jun took out a jade pendant: "My boss asked me to bring this jade pendant. This jade pendant belongs to the current imperial censor, and the prefect of Jincheng once worked under him. As long as I show this jade to the prefect,
This matter can be solved.”
Taking the jade pendant in Hou Jun's hand, Tu Boshu suddenly smiled and said, "I knew dad was the best to me!"
Hou Jun took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows: "It seems you care about your friend very much?"
Tu Boshu smiled and nodded: "Brother Hou, my friend is very interesting. Not only is he good at business, he is also a master of arithmetic. He taught me very advanced arithmetic methods."
"Oh?" Hou Jun raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.
"Brother Hou, don't you believe it?" Tu Boshu stuck out his tongue and asked, "How about you give me a few questions to test me?"
Hou Jun thought for a while and came up with two numbers and asked Tu Boshu to find the sum.
In less than five seconds, Tu Boshu said the correct answer, which surprised Hou Jun.
"I didn't expect that you would meet such a friend who is proficient in arithmetic during your trip. I am also a little interested in him."
"That's just right. You will accompany me to see the prefect later. When he is released, we will meet him together. I guarantee you will find him very interesting."
