After a full sleep, Ling Qingyu felt windy as he walked. While eating brunch, he looked through letters and reports that had been left aside for two days due to lack of energy.

In less than a year, Xiao Se has held all the remaining industries and power of the Xiao family in his hands. Although he has the five million taels of cash and goods given by Ling Qingyu as a backing, the boy's own strength is not It is undeniable that the trade routes between Jiangnan and Jinghu have been fully opened, and the strategy of making ten coins has begun to cooperate with the Ling family.

When the ten coins and silver notes have begun to be bought, sold and exchanged according to the pre-arranged ratio, the places where the ten coins are mostly used are on Sichuan and Shaanxi Road, and then push towards the Central Plains, while the silver notes are used in Jiangnan Let’s start with a small percentage reduction from one hundred to ninety-nine. There have been no natural disasters so far this year. Maybe this year will be another good harvest year. In this way, we can just reserve more supplies.

As for Bianjing, only when she got here did she know that Yan Qi had already arranged for people from Red Mansion to infiltrate Bianjing, and that Zuixiang, where Alan had sent out formulas for people from Red Mansion to sell, had caused several scandals in Bianjing. Of course, the biggest scandal was It was Princess Huayang, but those eunuchs who had been bribed by the Red Mansion said that after the incident between Princess Huayang and the guards was exposed, they simply went outside the palace to find a man. Not only did they use it for themselves, they actually introduced it to Emperor Xiwen. Emperor Xiwen had fallen in love with this earlier. Originally he was just playing with the eunuchs, but now that his daughter had contributed, he was immediately overjoyed. Not only did he completely condone Princess Huayang's affairs, he sometimes even brought Huayang and his concubines together. , I really want to be as promiscuous as I want.

The Ling family quietly opened several restaurants and teahouses in Bianjing City, as well as a silver shop called Linglong Pavilion and a spice shop called Anxiang. They also opened various small shops in various parts of the city. People who came from various villages did not know each other, but the Ling family's tentacles reached deep into the alley.

Those who are in the vegetable and meat business use bribes and low prices to buy the purchasing managers of those high-end compounds. From time to time, they drink and chat, including gossip about the owner's family. Those who are in the silk and rouge business mingle with the women. The instructions given by the Ling family were that it didn't matter if they lost money, as long as the news was returned.

If He Li wants to expand his troops to 200,000, and Meng Su's troops also expand to 80,000, then the military salary alone will cost at least 10 million guan a year. What Meng Su and the others earn plus what He Li wants from the court is the most It's only six to seven million strings. Of three million strings, half of it can be solved with the silver production. It's basically enough to give them the profits from the trade with Tibet. However, this is a demand in peacetime, and once war breaks out, it may not be this number.

But compared to the Ling family's income, these are really small numbers.

He Li stopped at the door in a hurry and watched her sitting in front of the window, biting the end of her pen, holding a bun in one hand and flipping through the account book with the other. Although she was frowning, she was full of life.

There was a reflection on the account book. Ling Qingyu looked up and saw He Li at the door and asked, Is it so early today? After Yang Zhao's funeral, He Li had social gatherings every day, including people from the Ministry of War and distinguished people. There were junior officers in the Forbidden Army, as well as the second prince.

Well, I went for a run with the second prince this morning. I have nothing else to do today. He Li walked into the house. The study was far less big than the one in Dai County, but Ling Qingyu didn't want to do any major construction work on this temporary residence, so he Just make do with it.

How is it? Ling Qingyu took a bite of the bun, then put down the pen, closed the ledger, and pushed the plate of snacks towards him and asked.

The Second Prince is very concerned about your frail health. He said that he would suggest to the Emperor that you should go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. He Li took a bun, took a bite, and sat on the chair.

What did you promise him? Ling Qingyu asked. The emperor and the political affairs hall asked her to come to Bianjing, and even got such a big and luxurious cage for her to put in. If it wasn't just for use as a hostage, how could they let her out of the city so happily?

I will give him 500,000 taels of the military salary reissued by the Zhengshitang this time. He Li took a sip of water from the tea bowl on the table and said, I guess he wants to win over the people of the 12th Imperial Guard Battalion.

Ling Qingyu glanced at the tea bowl from which he had just taken a sip of water, and said: Money is easy to handle. If money can win over the people of the 12th Imperial Guard Battalion, then we can consider contacting Xiang Dong or the Deng family?

This matter is dangerous, so don't come forward. He Li put down the tea bowl and said, Just ask Han Ye to find an excuse to give them some money.

For example, if I am really not in good health, I want to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate? Ling Qingyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

You've fainted twice, so you're naturally not in good health. Zhuangzi and Han Ju have already bought it, and it will only take a day for Gao Liu to come over there. We can all rest assured that you are there. He Li said in a calm tone.

No! What else did you do? Ling Qingyu rolled his eyes and asked.

I agreed to the second prince's matchmaking and married a young lady from the Wang family. Seeing Ling Qingyu's face change slightly, He Li said with a smile, But the general's body is not yet cold, so this matter will be decided after a year.

Ling Qingyu shook his head unconsciously and said, Do they have no other option but to marry their daughter?

Uniform interests are the most guaranteed, but who can guarantee that interests will always be consistent, so the most direct way is marriage. He Li smiled slightly.

Do you think I should also consider socializing in those ladies' circles? Ling Qingyu asked with a hint of cunning, holding her chin.

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

What if I get beaten? Ling Qingyu asked, eyes widening.

You can fight back. You can't beat those backyard girls? He Li picked up the empty plate and signaled to Ying Thirteen, No more! Then he turned back and said: You dare to kill sharks, but you are still afraid of beating people?

This proposal is awesome! You can indeed do this, so what if you get beaten? I am now the Duke’s wife! Ling Qingyu unconsciously nodded and said sincerely: He Li, you are so talented!

One more thing. I heard them talking when I was drinking with them recently. There should be two factions in the Zhao family army. He Li said with a serious face: This time, Zhao Mingliang is leading the team, and Zhao Yinfeng's ten battalions are They didn’t go into battle, and this time Zhao Mingliang was defeated. The people of Zhao Jiajun were a little dissatisfied, saying that if Zhao Yinfeng was the commander, he might not have been defeated so miserably, and as a result, we, Heishuiguan, got an advantage.

Cheap?! Ling Qingyu suddenly burst into anger, slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said: I can give them all this kind of bargain, as many times as you like! Damn it! Who said that?!

He Li took her hand, rubbed the red palm, lowered his eyes, and his voice deepened, saying: I remember everyone, and I will always find them back. Just remember to pay more attention. Go to the Zhao family, if what they say is true, then there must be a conflict between Zhao Mingliang and Zhao Yinfeng! The old man of the Zhao family is very cunning. The Zhao family's army controls the four northern routes and has many soldiers. If they can be divided, Then Bianjing will be even more chaotic.

Zhao Yinfeng? Ling Qingyu's eyes drifted for a moment, then nodded and said: I understand, I will ask them to keep an eye on her more.

I heard that there is a restaurant with good food. Do you want to go out to eat at noon? He Li raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

Ling Qingyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, Okay.

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

After a full sleep, Ling Qingyu felt windy as he walked. While eating brunch, he looked through letters and reports that had been left aside for two days due to lack of energy.
