Seeing Xie Rengui nodding happily, Qin Huaidao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Let my sister-in-law move into the house and be a companion with He'er. I will find a few attentive people to take care of me later. You and I can rest assured. As for Dongshi
There is a department store in the shop, so it doesn’t matter whether it is open or not. Let’s close it down for a while and then talk about it later.”
"Wouldn't it be a lot less revenue? Why not find a trustworthy shopkeeper to look after it?" Xue Rengui advised.
Qin Huaidao thought it right. There were multiple shops and multiple sales outlets, not to mention it was a place with an important location, so he said: "I'll close the door today and take my sister-in-law over. There are plenty of rooms nearby. I'll have someone clean up a small courtyard for you two to live in later."
Let’s have a good meal, and as for the shopkeeper, there’s no rush.”
"It's okay to eat, just move here so as not to disturb He'er." Xue Rengui responded.
Xue Rengui and his wife had already moved out of the Protector's Mansion and had their own house. Qin Huaidao saw that Xue Rengui was too embarrassed to force him. He thought about it and said, "In this way, we can move to Qinjiazhuang together. Not only will there be a courtyard built on the top of the mountain, it will be enough."
Let’s live there. It has beautiful scenery and beautiful air, and it’s not noisy. It’s good for pregnant women to rest and give birth, and you don’t have to run back and forth every day.”
"Okay, let's go back and get ready. When will we leave?"
"Come here for lunch and let's go together after dinner."
Xue Rengui realized that Qin Huaidao was thinking about leaving Chang'an to meet elsewhere, so he agreed to go back and prepare.
Qin Huaidao sent someone to find Jia Youcai, and ordered him to purchase some supplies and send them there first, and then arrange for a few servants to follow him and take care of him. The water in Chang'an was too deep and would turn into a man-eating whirlpool in the future.
Take a step back to attack better!
In the past, Qin Huaidao was fearless when he was alone. Now that he has He'er and a child, he must take precautions and make more preparations to make himself invincible.
After lunch, as the group was preparing to leave, Li Jing came to visit in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao led people into the study and asked Xue Rengui to guard the door and not allow people to approach and eavesdrop.
After Li Jing sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "My dear nephew, did you break into the prince's mansion last night?"
Qin Huaidao nodded and told the truth truthfully.
After hearing this, Li Jing's expression changed drastically, and he remained silent for a long time, his expression constantly changing.
After a while, Li Jing asked in a deep voice: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, what are your next plans?"
"The Holy One has other thoughts, but because the junior has just made great achievements, he will not kill him, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world, but he will definitely gradually become alienated and marginal, but it just so happens that the junior has no intention of power, and is afraid that he will
I'm afraid that the Holy One is not at ease and will look for opportunities to eliminate dissidents and pave the way for his successor after some time."
"This is what I am most worried about. You may not know that Yuzhang has been banned. The reason is that he falsely conveyed the imperial edict to deceive the guards and bring you into the palace. Regarding your reward, the Ministry of War has already drawn up and submitted it, but it was temporarily detained.
This is a danger signal." Li Jing reminded seriously.
Qin Huaidao nodded. Although he thought that Yu Zhang would be punished, he felt very uncomfortable when the punishment actually came. Thinking of Yu Zhang's act of falsely passing on the imperial edict last night and his help without hesitation, his heart felt inexplicably warm.
Li Jing was worried that Qin Huaidao could not think clearly and did something extraordinary, so he comforted him: "We old men are here to deal with the affairs of the court, so you don't have to worry, but what are your plans next?"
"Go back to Qinjiazhuang to rest for a while."
"It doesn't matter if you stay away from Chang'an. Let us old guys handle the rest. You won't suffer any loss."
Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, there is no need to do this. I would also like to ask Uncle Shi to inform others not to interfere and let nature take its course. This junior can only consider it, but you..."
"Since you have considered it, let's not take action for now, wait and see what happens, and retreat instead of making progress. As for me...what's wrong?" Li Jing was a little curious.
The last time the military report did not mention the name of the Qiu-bearded guest, it was said that he was Li Jiancheng's personal guard. His identity was unknown and was mentioned briefly. However, this matter would be exposed sooner or later. He was about to inform the matter and finally asked: "Shibo, isn't the Qiu-bearded guest?"
Your sworn brother, how did you get together with Li Jiancheng?"
Li Jing was shocked after hearing the truth. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "Back then, when we were sworn brothers, Brother Zhang received the favor of Li Jiancheng and saved his life. Later, when Brother Zhang saw me and the Holy Master getting close, he was worried that something would happen in the future, and he was also worried that it would affect me without the Holy Master.
Trusting him, he spent all his wealth to support the Holy One and went overseas by himself. He didn't care about right and wrong, but he didn't expect to be involved. "
"It seems that the bearded guest is also a kind and righteous person."
"Yes, for me, he lost everything. Lao Fu owes him."
"In this case, then the grudge between me and him will be wiped out. If you can contact him, let him find a place to hide and don't join the Tang Dynasty again. If you are not willing to be mediocre, go to Linyi. If there is no way out, junior
I will also go to Linyi, where rice is grown three times in a row and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is rich in products and suitable for living."
"Lin Yi?!"
Li Jing nodded, remembered the name firmly, chatted for a few words and left.
After sending Li Jing away, Qin Huaidao sat quietly in the study and thought. The ban was not so much Li Er's punishment for Yuzhang for safeguarding imperial power, but it was more of a warning to himself. However, it was only a ban and did not deprive him of his position as a princess. He left a trace.
And why?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Huaidao made some guesses, but was not sure, so he decided to give it a try. He called Jia Youcai and told him: "Uncle Jia, Princess Yuzhang is banned. Go find Princess Wencheng and ask her to manage the barbecue instead of Yuzhang.
If there’s anything you don’t understand, please bring it with you.”
Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan also has a marriage contract. It is not against etiquette to come to help manage the barbecue bar. No one will say anything, but it can irritate Li Er and remind him that if he continues to be banned from Yuzhang, he will lose power if he marries into the Duke Protector's Palace in the future.
There's nothing wrong with it unless you don't want to remarry.
But not getting married is not an option. Qin Huaidao has not done anything treacherous and unethical. There is no excuse to terminate the engagement directly. The impact will be too great. Li Er will never dare to take this risk.
Jia Youcai also thought of the magical effect of this move, but he still reminded him worriedly: "Young Master, what should we do if Princess Wencheng is also banned?"
"If this is the case, you have to prepare to run away. Wouldn't it be better to test out the Holy Spirit's intentions?"
Jia Youcai nodded and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao and others also left the mansion from the side door in a carriage.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Qinjiazhuang. Mr. Huang and the village representatives were waiting at the entrance of the village. They saluted respectfully and expressed their heartfelt respect and gratitude to Qin Huaidao for changing everyone's lives.
A brand-new brick house, a monthly income, white-flour steamed buns, and meat every now and then. This kind of life is like being in heaven, something I couldn't even imagine before.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone arrived at the top of the mountain, and a brand new three-story courtyard appeared in view.
Outside the yard is a tall wall, with front and rear doors opening, and entering through the door is a garden, and then the living room, with various wing rooms on both sides. The walls are painted white with lime, and the floor is paved with neat bluestone slabs.
Complete, all brand new.
After some observation, Qin Huaidao was very satisfied and arranged for people to live in the backyard. Qin Huaidao and Xue Rengui's family lived in the middle courtyard. The front yard was freed up for office and reception purposes. A dozen financial staff trained by He'er will also move here in the next two days.
, convenient for management and keeping informed of the situation at any time.
This will be an important place for some time in the future, and safety issues must be taken seriously. Qin Huaidao motioned to Mr. Huang to inform him that no one was allowed to go up the mountain privately, and asked Xue Rengui to mobilize two teams of village guards to take turns to work and be on call around the clock, living in the backyard.
Just after settling in, Li Derjian and Luo Zhang came hand in hand.
Qin Huaidao met the two of them in the study and asked Xue Rengui to accompany him. After a brief greeting, Li Derjian couldn't wait to ask: "Xiandi, the matter of the Prince's Mansion has spread throughout Chang'an City. It is said that Xiandi is affectionate and righteous, and dares to stand up for a maid.
He is a real man, and I admire him as an elder brother. However, this reputation has good and bad reputations...don't be careless."
"You're so scared!" Luo Zhanghun said nonchalantly.
After not seeing each other for a while, the two of them looked a little more mature and a little darker. Qin Huaidao looked at the two of them for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay. I heard that you guys came back from business yesterday. How was your profit?"
"The profit has more than tripled. We came here to ask if we should continue doing business. If we continue, the goods will be doubled this time, and I guarantee that the profit will be more than five times. However, we will need to increase the number of guards." Li Derjian said seriously.
"You two have decided that if you want to continue, just ask Brother Xue to prepare the goods." Qin Huaidao smiled and said, Zheng was worried about how to make more money. The opportunity was ahead of him, so of course he couldn't miss it.
"Then do it. How can you miss such a huge profit margin?" Li Derjian said excitedly. He was completely different from the calm and elegant person before. Sure enough, money can change everything.
I don't mind Li Derjian's changes. Why should I be an academic at such a young age? He should be energetic and enterprising. He nodded with a smile and looked at Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui said knowingly: "No problem, I will take care of the goods."
"Then we still need to add more large trucks. Also, the court may be in trouble after the increase in guards. There are regulations on the number of caravan guards." Li Derjian said and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "You two split into two groups to publicize the two caravans to the outside world. After leaving Chang'an, you can merge together and go together. If you split into two groups and set off, you can double the number of escorts. If you can't divide it further, you can reasonably avoid the court regulations.
That’s good. Many soldiers in the northern rebellion were injured and retired this time. Those with minor injuries can be recruited to use the banner of protecting the country, and the grassland ministries will also give them face."
"Break the whole into parts, and then break the parts into whole again. It's a good way. As for the grassland tribes, Brother Xian has shown great authority. We will follow and take advantage of it. Business will definitely be smooth." Li Derjian said excitedly.
