Chapter 181 Li Qi

The news that Wei Renshi came back was learned on the second day of the ninth floor.

Early in the morning, when Wei Renshi got up, Sun Peng came to spread the news that the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower outside had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Renshi washed his face and asked Sun Peng to call him in.

Soon, Sun Peng walked in with Liang Yuxi, the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower.

Liang Yuxi looked at Wei Renshi, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Grassman Liang Yuxi, pay homage to him..."

"Okay, I know what your name is, so there is no need to introduce it." Wei Renshi interrupted him and said, "How is it? Manager Liang followed Yimenglou and did not blame him for his loss, right?"

Liang Yuxi was stunned, then smiled and said, "No, Mr. Wei is really a clever plan. Zuixiao Tower has gained a good reputation because it donated money from the beginning. Later, although other businesses donated money to the river embankment, they had enough staff at that time and could not arrange them even if they wanted to. Only Zuixiao Tower took action early and also gained the reputation of a charity business in Luoyang City. This business...haha."

"The person behind Huachunlou is very powerful in the palace and is the eunuch who is most favored by His Majesty. Although this person is an eunuch, he is extremely powerful and cannot be dealt with at the moment. His relationship with Huachunlou cannot be too bad. I will remind you." Wei Renshi said to him.

Liang Yuxi nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for reminding me. However, Huachunlou is very big. I saw the benefits later and directly made up for the general money for repairing the river bank, which I didn't expect."

"What they are trying to do is not the reputation of the Luoyang River Embankment." Wei Renshi said: "Or it is just a matter of course, their purpose is elsewhere."

Ju Wenzhen must deal with it, but it won’t work if you don’t.

However, such a boss-level old monster needs to be done step by step and cannot be impatient.

Huachunlou may become a cutting-edge for him, but not now.

Liang Yuxi was stunned and said, "What else is there in it?"

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Your Majesty is preparing to divide the repair of the river embankment, and the repair will be funded by the merchants. After the repair, the court will account for a few percent of the street markets on the river embankment, and the remaining part will be accounted for by these investors based on the investment."

"What?!" Liang Yuxi looked surprised, and then asked in a deep voice: "Can anyone participate?"

"All businesses can participate, but those who are qualified in the end must see how much investment they invest. And the quality of the river embankment repair needs to be ensured." Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liang, prepare early!"

Liang Yuxi was excited and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your reminder!"

"Don't thank me, this is the result of my own choice." Wei Renshi said: "There are still many opportunities to do business in the future. Manager Liang, will we continue to cooperate?"

"I'm so lucky!" Liang Yuxi was very surprised and immediately bowed and nodded.

After seeing Liang Yuxi off, the other people from the ninth floor and the pavilion also arrived one after another. Wei Renshi was naturally vain and made a fuss.

After sending all these people away, Wei Renshi asked Sun Peng to arrange manpower and buy some things for winter, preparing to take them back, which can be regarded as helping the villagers.

Just as I was thinking that this batch of things was quite small, it would probably take one or two days to do it. But I heard Sun Peng coming to spread the news again, saying that Zhang Gan came.

Wei Renshi invited Zhang Gan in. When he saw Zhang Gan, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be fine."

"How dare you let Master Wei call him like this?" Zhang Gan smiled and said, "Gaomin, please pay homage to him..."

His words were interrupted by Wei Renshi. Wei Renshi grabbed his hand and helped him up, saying, "Brother Zhang, you're just seeing each other."

Zhang Gan stared at Wei Renshi, as if he was telling whether Wei Renshi's words were true or false.

"What are you staring at me, can I still be fake?" Wei Renshi smiled when he saw Zhang Gan's eyes.

"Since that's the case..." Zhang Ganyi smiled and said, "I'm not angry. Mr. Wei, congratulations on becoming a nobleman!"

"Just luck." Wei Renshi smiled and the two sat down.

Zhang Gan said, "I knew that Wei Langjun didn't like to beat around the bush, so I said it straight. I heard that Wei Langjun came back to Luoyang, so I came quickly. There are indeed some things, and I want to ask Wei Langjun for inquiries."

Wei Renshi nodded and asked, "But what do you want to inquire about?"

"I want to inquire about someone." Zhang Gan said: "This person's name is Li Qi, who is the Zhejiang West Observer, and also a salt and iron transfer envoy, who is controlling the grain transportation."

"Li Qi..." Wei Renshi thought carefully.

He naturally had a lot of thought when he arrived in Chang'an, like the ministers in the court, the observer and governors from all over the country. Although he didn't recognize him, he also knew the names.

Because after knowing the name, you can try to search from your memory to see if you can find some relevant information.

If you think about it carefully, you have indeed heard of Li Qi.

He seems to be a royal family member.

However, Wei Renshi seemed to remember that this man rebelled not long after Li Chun ascended the throne. Then, naturally, the rebellion failed and was cut in half. It was a person who used bribery and collusion, and plundered the treasures of the people and gave them to Li Shi to win Li Shi's favor. Then, he was arrogant because of his favor, but actually had no ability.

"I've heard of this person." Wei Renshi nodded and said, "I wonder what Brother Zhang needs to ask about?"

"I just want to find out what this person likes." Zhang laughed dryly, "I can only meet his preferences."

"To what he likes?" Wei Renshi frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, I shouldn't have said much about this. However, you'd better have less contact with this person. This person is greedy and has no ability to say much. Sooner or later, something will happen."

Zhang Gan shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I have no choice. I am eating the rice of the canal transport, and I am in charge of the matter of the canal transport in the world. I am unwilling to go to him to give up my skin and sell my face, but I have to do it."

"Since that's the case, I don't need to ask specifically, I know. This person is greedy, so Brother Zhang can just find some precious treasures to give to him." Wei Renshi said: "However, remember that it is just a convenience for doing things, and you must not contact him deeply."

Zhang Gan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Langjun Wei, thank you for reminding me, I'll save you some. Maybe we will meet in Chang'an soon."

"Brother Zhang is going to Chang'an to develop?" Wei Renshi asked.

Zhang Gan nodded and said, "Yes, Luoyang is now stable for me. The next step is to go to Chang'an. If we can make the waterway between Luoyang and Chang'an well, that's the big end."

Wei Renshi thought about it and said, "Brother Zhang, I happen to be a favor, I don't know if Brother Zhang can help you."

"It's easy to say." Zhang Gan nodded.

"You must be very good at Luoyang. Can you help me pay attention to the movements in Huachun Tower?" Wei Renshi said to Zhang Gan: "As long as it is abnormal movement, it's fine."
