Chapter 121 Undercurrent

After the city gate was closed, Mr. Qin stayed at home recently and didn't go out much. Occasionally, old friends such as Kang Xian would come over to get together, but it was impossible to play chess as frequently as before. Today, Ning Yi and

Nie Yunzhu came over. It was already afternoon. After a short chat in the living room, Ning Yi and Mr. Qin walked and chatted in the yard outside the study. Nie Yunzhu was called over by Yun Niang and Mrs. Qin. They probably already knew

Regarding Yunzhu's affairs, I asked him about his welfare, which was quite cordial.

The previous plan for Nie Yunzhu to recognize Mr. Qin as his adoptive father was only mentioned by Ning Yi. Mr. Qin and Nie Yunzhu have not yet made it official, so it is better for Ning Yi to talk about it at this time.

Ning Yi naturally cannot say that some of the problems that have arisen due to this matter have nothing to do with him and Nie Yunzhu. Of course, he will not think that Nie Yunzhu has any responsibility. It is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong. But since it happened, deal with it without causing trouble to others.

That's the right way. Fortunately, Mr. Qin is also an understanding person. When Ning Yi roughly told what happened in Yancui Tower last time, he understood what the other party meant and why he mentioned it.

However, after pondering for a long time, he did not immediately show his attitude towards this.

"This year's floods, the scale of the disaster in the upper reaches, has not been seen in decades. Although the Jiangning area has been closed, it seems calmer than in previous years. Does Li Heng know why?" Mr. Qin paused, "Jiangzhou area,

Although the disaster was serious, there were more than 200,000 homeless victims in the shelter organization at this time. The number was still increasing, but it was said that order was in order and there was no epidemic. In addition, Fenzhou, Hedong Road, was affected by the Yellow River bursting its banks.

, Jinzhou and other places, here in Langzhou, Guizhou are also properly making follow-up arrangements. If in the past, "I'm afraid the epidemic has already started at this time, it will be difficult to control. Although there is an epidemic this year," it is separated by some well-ordered states and counties.

, and has not continued to spread.”

"Oh." After hearing Mr. Qin talk about this, Ning Yi nodded. Since the city gate was closed, it was difficult for outside information to come in, and Ning Yi didn't care much. After listening to what he said, he roughly knew these things outside Jiangning.

"Jiangzhou, Fenzhou, Jinzhou, Langzhou, Guizhou and other places" mostly used or referred to Li Heng's methods. Although they seem simple, they are very effective. I have been thinking about the truth recently. But regardless of

Anyway, hundreds of thousands of people have benefited from Liheng.

Li Heng came here today, but he only talked to me about some minor matters of reputation..."

When Mr. Qin laughed, Ning Yi also shook his head and said with a smile: "One code is the same. I originally took advantage of it. Mr. Qin, you don't stick to trivial matters. If you agree, it is a favor. If you don't agree, it is also reasonable. After you have the favor, if you try to push it further.

That's not good. Mr. Qin, you can not care about me, but you can't take it for granted. This is the principle of life. It's hard to say whether this is right or wrong." But reality is reality after all, and it would be bad if all kinds of problems cause more trouble.

The most important thing is not that I feel sorry, but that Yunzhu feels sorry..." Mr. Qin nodded and then didn't say anything. After a long time, the two of them set up the chessboard in the study, and the old man just said: "Some days ago,

, I heard Ming Gong talk about the conversation you had with Ji Pin. Did Li Heng meet with Mingyun recently?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "There have been a lot of things lately, but he found a pair of weird siblings to come to me to become my disciples. Oh, it's okay if we don't meet him. I heard Brother Lu say that he might scold me when we meet.

of……,……

"Oh, they are the siblings from Zhou Yong's family. Their talents are limited by their status. I'm afraid it won't be easy to do anything in the future." Mr. Qin smiled, raised a chess piece, and then paused.

"Dun" "It's because of what Li Heng said. I discussed it with Mingyun for several days, and then I heard about the incident in the Su Mansion. Ming Yun said it was complicated. Does Li Heng know what's going on?"

"It should be able to be solved."

Ning Yi didn't take this matter to heart." He replied casually. Mr. Qin looked at it and then finally put the chess piece down: "That's good. Li Pin is your good friend. I heard from Mingyun that he is also quite talented.

If you go to Beijing, I can write a letter for him and recommend him."

"So I'm very grateful for De Xin." Ning Yi smiled, "By the way, Fu Ying, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was not with you before."

"Nonsense boy..." Mr. Qin scolded with a smile, but then he sighed, "I had already resigned when Li Pin was elected, but Fu Ying was indeed promoted by me back then. His personality is a bit biased, but he still does things.

That’s right. In some matters, it is common for the DPRK and the Central Government to adopt the same party to defeat different parties. “I can’t really care about it. I heard from Ming Yun that Li Pin’s policy that day was in conflict with Fu Ying’s plan to join the Dai race, and his words were a bit fierce.” Shi

Well, this is the case, there are endless articles every year that are not shocking. Who knew that Fu Ying’s reaction would be so intense? He must have been ridiculed by some political opponents in person. Hey, this kind of thing..."

From the beginning to the end, Qin Siyuan did not mention the conversation between Ning Yi and Li Pin that day. The two played a game of chess. They just talked about trivial things. Of course, there were also some situations in other places. When Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu said goodbye, it was getting dark.

In the evening, neither party mentioned their attitude towards the "adopted daughter" matter again.

"Have Li Heng already said it?" Nie Yunzhu asked softly on the way back to the small building by the river. Ning Yi nodded: "I did, but he didn't nod or shake his head."

"Um?"

"Oh, Mrs. Qin and the others are very nice to you, right?"

"Well, it's good." Yunzhu nodded with a smile, "I'm just afraid that it will affect them in turn."

"From now on, let's go around as relatives. You don't have to deliberately recognize each other. After a while, it will become a matter of course. "They are all good people, and we can become friends or something like that."

"...Hmm." Yunzhu thought about it and nodded, "Aunt Yun asked me to go shopping with her tomorrow and asked me to take Jin'er with me."

"fine."

After sending Yunzhu home, Ning Yi was about to turn back when the other party spoke and stopped him.

"Li Heng, the Su family's matter..." Yunzhu looked at him and thought for a while before finding the words, "It can definitely be done well."

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Don't worry."

When he returned home all the way, it was already time for dinner.

After that, time gradually entered August, a month that was serious, chaotic, but seemingly as stable as before. Except for some truly thoughtful and thoughtful traders, perhaps few people could clearly see what Jiangning was doing this month.

What exactly happened in the industry and what is the trajectory of those surging undercurrents?

The city gate has been closed, and life has to go on as usual. It seems that every day is the same as before. The work and life are still the same every night in the brothel, but the victims of the disaster inside and outside the city have been getting better and better.

"I am embarrassed. If several states outside had not used new disaster control methods to reduce the pressure here, I am afraid that the depression in this city would be even more serious now. Of course, even if it is serious, it can only be felt at the level of ordinary civilians."

s things.

The royal merchant matter of the Weaving Bureau will surface for the first time in late August. It is said that there will be a gathering of the weaving industry at that time to celebrate the success of this disaster relief, and then let interested merchants come up with

The cloth was brought and presented to the royal family. The decision has been made, but the news only circulated privately. For example, to celebrate the success of disaster relief, all merchants must take practical actions to donate enough rice and porridge to share the pressure on the government.

OK.

The few merchants who took over the Huangshang in the past will naturally not give up." The intention shown by the Su family, Xue family, and Wu family towards the Huangshang has also attracted some medium-sized merchants, turning the recent situation of the weaving industry into muddy water.

Among them, "Although Su Boyong was paralyzed and Su Tan'er was ill," the momentum displayed by the Su family was still the strongest. At the end of July, "Su Boyong's injury stabilized. After it was made public, Mrs. Su's running around and various relationships finally

"It worked." Chen Er, the murderer who assassinated Su Boyong, confessed that he was indeed ordered to assassinate Su Boyong, and that the Su family's murder of his wife and children was purely a frame-up.

It was impossible to find out who was behind Chen Er, because he didn't know it either. But after the bad reputation was washed away, the Su family's bargaining chips to win over Huangshang undoubtedly increased, and the morale of the shopkeepers and managers of the big house was increased.

The second and third bedrooms are relatively silent." Even if the Su family is forced to death and the whole family is killed, the impact on overseas business will be limited. On the contrary, it is the imperial merchants who bear the brunt. Now the old man is paving the way for the imperial merchants. Could it be that the Su family will really be affected in the future?

Should Su Tan'er be at the helm?

Amid the chaos, no one can tell what will happen by the end of August. The two- and three-bedroom apartments seem to be calm. The Xue family, the Wu family, and other merchants are also competing in their own ways for the royal merchants to discuss business and find relationships.

"Nothing about the conspiracy or calculations behind it appeared on the surface. During this period, Ning Yi also began to integrate into the big family of Jiangning Weaving as the temporary helmsman of the Su family.

He participated in some social activities and of course met some people. In the past, as a scholar, he did not have to participate in these things. Now that Su Tan'er is ill in bed, he also has some necessary social activities that he needs to participate in. The most important ones during this period are probably

"The weaving shop gathering at the end of July" is a gathering held once a month. Because in Jiangning, the weaving shops also have their own guild, and the head of the row is the Wu family, which is now the leader of Jiangning's cloth industry.

During this period, Ning Yi also met Wu Chenghou, the father of Wu Qilong and Wu Qihao brothers. As the leader of the trip, this was also a middle-aged man who seemed to be modest and authoritative. He also talked to Ning Yi for a long time:

"We are all colleagues. Although we are rivals, we are also mentors and helpful friends. We have always been willing to lend a helping hand to any household if the goods are not available for a while." This is friendship. I have already heard of the name Li Hengxian's nephew. This time

In the imperial business matter, the Su family has a good chance of winning.

My nephew, you don’t need to take the Xue family’s words to heart..."

The reason why he said this is probably because the Xue family and the Su family have long had a quarrel. According to Chan'er Juan'er, the Wu family always mediates. "This time I met Xue Jin and Xue Yan's father Xue Sheng."

Although he was a bit lukewarm, Xue Yan had a good attitude toward Ning Yi and even went to Ning Yi for a meal and apologized for what happened last time.

In addition, there are Chen Dixin from the Chen family, Lu Tianhai from the Lu family, etc. After nearly a month, Ning Yi probably knows the entire outline of Jiangning's weaving industry, and these people in the weaving industry probably have an understanding of him.

Simple cognition.

There is definitely talent and learning, and he is the most talented person, but when a scholar enters the business, he is obviously at a loss. Although he does not participate in many social activities, he speaks with grace and temperament, but he also has a bookishness that cannot be changed. The Su family is in trouble

, this man who got married obviously wanted to help, but something without experience means inexperience. After a month, he actually didn't accomplish anything.

In fact, after Yu Hefang made an own mistake, he did only two things in total.

The first thing is that he negotiated a deal. This was originally a deal with no suspense, but since Ning Yi signed it, of course it has to be put on his head. There is nothing to talk about." But finally

It's one thing. And the other thing." After racking his brains, he made an alteration to one of the shops.

In the eyes of everyone at that time, Ning Yi seemed to be very confident. He racked his brains for several days, then formulated some rules, and then let one of the shop assistants use them first. For this reason, he trained these guys

For three days, they said "Welcome" when customers entered the store, and then standardized some words and terms and added many seemingly technical nouns. However, this change only lasted three days because they frightened the customers.

I ran a lot because it felt cramped.

So "this scholarly reform failed and became a joke of Jiangning Weaving." Ning Yi seemed to have been hit. From then on, except for regular inspections every day, he stopped doing many actions.

During this period, he also met He Fang. Of course, he didn't talk too much about the imperial business. He also followed several shopkeepers to solicit business and met with some officials of the Weaving Bureau, but it did not have any major impact.

In the past, some people felt that they would not be so simple. For example, Xue Jin lost a lot of interest after more than twenty days, because it is very simple. This is what a scholar should be like when he enters the business world.

In the matter of Huangshang, this guy was of no use. Maybe it was just a cover. After that, no one relaxed their vigilance, because the shopkeepers of the Su family have always been under Ning Yi's control.

The continuous operation under the performance pushed the voice of Huangshang to the highest level.

There is no conspiracy. During this period, the Su family has been advancing the process of obtaining the imperial merchant in an extremely fair and aboveboard way. Neither the Xue family nor the Wu family can do anything about such a thing. Because in the final analysis, Su

Everyone has been preparing for it for several years, but they don’t have a weak background. At least on the surface, they can only fall behind.

During this period, the two siblings Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu often came to the Su family's funeral to wait for Ning Yi to come over, and gradually developed a slightly weird way of getting along with each other...
