Shen Lie picked up the tea bowl and said slowly: "But I don't know how many old soldiers under Qi Shuai need to be resettled?"
Qi Jiguang perked up and said hurriedly: "One thousand, five hundred... no, three hundred."
He was also afraid of causing trouble to Shen Lie, so he lowered the number again and again.
Shen Lie is not pretentious either.
Weigh again and again.
Considering the current situation of Bianyifang, it is indeed difficult to accommodate too many people at once. After thinking for a while, he said softly.
"Five hundred people."
Shen Lie stretched out five fingers towards Qi Jiguang. With his current financial resources and abilities, it is not easy to accept five hundred veterans of the Zhejiang army.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to raise it!
When he heard the number of five hundred people, Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and hugged Shen Lie's fists, so polite and relieved.
This attitude shocked Shen Lie.
Shen Lie suddenly jumped up and said hurriedly: "Hey, what is Shuai Qi doing?"
Don’t dare!
You two are here to come and go politely...
Look at this young and heroic young man.
Qi Jiguang was greatly relieved and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay."
The slightly frowned brow seemed to relax a little.
Next.
The two began to discuss the matter of taking in the veterans of the Qi Jiajun. According to Shen Lie's idea, some old and disabled veterans could be resettled in Tianjin Zuowei.
Go plant sweet potatoes.
Go to retirement.
Those who still had the ability to work found a large warehouse nearby and built some large shops. They usually did odd jobs and ran errands in the cheap shop.
Talking and talking.
Shen Lie chuckled and said: "It's a bit tough now. In the future... my nephew will expand the business of this cheap shop and buy bigger houses for the brothers!"
When Qi Jiguang heard this, he laughed again: "Okay, it's a deal!"
So everyone was happy.
At this moment, Shen Lie's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "In my nephew's opinion, it would be better for... Qi Shuai to invest in individual stocks in this bargain shop."
Startled.
Qi Jiguang pondered: "Isn't this bad?"
Investing in shares?
Qi Jiguang looked at the serious Shen Lie and frowned slightly again. He felt that this nephew was bribing him, or...
This is trying to win him over.
Qi Jiguang is not a pedantic person. He can embrace Zhang Juzheng's lap for the survival of his Zhejiang army, and make smiles with the cabinet ministers for the sake of training troops and strengthening the country.
But there is such a thing as forming a gang to build a mountain.
He didn't bother to do it.
Shen Lie naturally understood his worries.
Then he stood up.
He walked over and closed the door, then came back.
Approaching Marshal Qi, Shen Lie pretended to be mysterious and said, "Shuai Qi, I'm afraid you don't know something. Does Marshal Qi know who the big shopkeeper of this cheap shop is?"
There was a moment of silence.
Qi Jiguang was slightly stunned.
Li Rusong was also a little suspicious and asked, "Isn't it you?"
Is it possible?
Is there any more powerful background for this cheap shop?
Seeing the two of them moving.
Shen Lie smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, clasped his fists towards the north in the direction of the Forbidden City, and said respectfully: "The big shopkeeper of this cheap shop is... that young man."
There was another moment of silence.
Qi Jiguang was well-informed but could still remain calm.
"puff."
Li Rusong, the eldest son, spit out the hot tea in his mouth on the spot.
Hot tea was sprayed all over the floor.
Young Master Li, who choked on his tea, coughed violently and pointed at Shen Lie with his fingers, as if he was talking.
"You nonsense sycophant...what are you talking nonsense about?"
Are you kidding me?
Will the emperor enter into business partnership with you, Mr. Shen, and open this cheap shop?
Can you say this nonsense?
"You boy!"
Li Rusong didn't believe it.
According to Ming Dynasty's rules, can the emperor do business? Of course, he can't.
What is this called?
In the eyes of the Qing gossip officials, this was a legitimate attempt to compete with the people for profit. If this matter spread, I'm afraid there would be another uproar.
The officials' saliva can flood the Forbidden City!
But Shen Lie didn't laugh, but he was still very serious. He picked up the half-cooled tea on the table and took a leisurely sip.
Li Rusong froze.
a long time.
Mr. Li then said suspiciously: "Really?"
Shen Lie said slowly: "Since it is a new policy, it should naturally have a new atmosphere."
The implication.
All the adults and dignitaries in the world, the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the vassal kings from all over the world are doing business. Why can't the emperor do business?
Even if the emperor is not allowed to do business and make money, the adults pay the taxes!
Not only did they not allow the emperor to do business, and they didn't want to pay taxes, they actually pointed at the emperor's nose and cursed him every day, calling him a coward.
Is this a bit too bullying?
Can you blame the emperor for using factory guards to deal with the adults?
In deathly silence.
Qi Jiguang pondered for a long time before hesitatingly said: "In that case... okay."
I saw that he really joined the gang.
Shen Lie suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said hurriedly: "Qi Shuai is wise."
No matter what Qi Jiguang thinks.
Now Shen Lie used his eloquent tongue to pull Qi Jiguang and the invincible Zhejiang Army into the imperialist party's boat, and the imperialist party's momentum naturally increased greatly.
"Here comes someone."
Shen Lie lowered his head and said to the door: "Serve tea."
The waiter then brought another pot of hot tea.
Qi Jiguang pondered and said: "As my nephew wishes, how much silver will I offer?"
It seems that he doesn't have much money and can't afford much money.
Shen Lie immediately said: "Qi Shuai has already passed away, so there is no need to pay any more silver. Just add 10% of the shares to the Wanjin account."
Qi Jiguang was slightly stunned, and his eyes were a little moved.
Li Rusong, who was sitting aside, became a little anxious. He rolled his eyes a few times and shouted quickly: "I... Li also wants to join the gang!"
He also saw that this cheap shop had a bright future. It was an industry of the imperial party, and it was a very core industry.
Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you join.
See Mr. Li is so anxious.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and stretched out a finger: "Thirty thousand taels."
Li Rusong was stunned: "Why?"
The look of astonishment was like, "Why did Qi Shuai buy a stock? I have to pay for it. Are you trying to catch an honest man?"
Shen Lie hurriedly complimented: "My eldest son Li... Your Li family in Liaodong has a great business and rich wealth. Do you need this little silver?"
A mere thirty thousand taels.
Isn’t it a drop in the bucket to your Li family?
But Li Rusong refused, and rushed over and grabbed Shen Lie's collar, saying angrily: "There is no such truth in the world, do you think Li is easy to bully?"
Shen Lie took advantage of the situation and spread his hands.
Nor resisted.
Just point your nostrils at him.
Then.
Shen Lie defended: "Qi Shuai got pregnant, what happened to you?"
How did I bully you?
Li Rusong's expression froze.
Think about it.
He seemed to think it made sense, so he quickly loosened the collar of Shen Lie's clothes and said hesitantly: "Thirty thousand taels is not a small amount. I can't make the decision on this matter..."
Shen Lie nodded and said quickly: "Then write a letter and ask your father quickly."
Li Rusong hesitated and said, "Okay."
Shen Lie added: "If you want to hurry, remember to use 800 miles to rush."
Li Rusong nodded: "Yes."
Mr. Li felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
aside.
Qi Jiguang watched the two brothers arguing and bargaining, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then a smile overflowed.
