Li Qi was very troubled when he heard Bai Qiannuo's plea, and said sternly: "Okay, let's discuss business, let's not talk about you, I am not familiar with Zheng Er, and I don't trust him very much yet.
"
Bai Qiannuo said: "The right way is to use people without suspicion and do not use people who are suspicious. Brother Zheng's character is still worthy of trust. Besides, can you find a better candidate than him?"
"Even so, he may not agree."
"I believe the problem is not big. Brother Zheng will definitely become an official in the future. He can't stay here forever. It's just a matter of time. The only thing that worries me is whether he is willing to get involved in this dispute. But these
I think he will have to face the problem sooner or later, and the Zheng family has many enemies in the court."
Li Qi rubbed his face and said, "Even if I agree, your parents will not agree."
Bai Qiannuo chuckled and said, "Brother, don't you know my dad yet? If I tell him at this time, he will definitely agree."
Yes! Old man Bai must hate me to death now, and he must hope that Qiniang will stay away from me, a dangerous person. Li Qi couldn't help but laugh, and pondered for a moment, stretched out his big hand to hold Qiniang's catkins, and said: "Qiniang, you are
Don’t you have to go?”
Bai Qiannuo nodded affirmatively.
Li Qi sighed, hugged him in his arms and said, "Okay, I will promise you this time."
Seeing that Li Qi finally let go, Bai Qiannuo couldn't help but be happy, but when she thought of being separated from Li Qi, she felt extremely reluctant to let go. She hugged Li Qi with both hands, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "Brother, Qiniang too
I can’t bear to leave you, but Qiniangjia doesn’t want to stay by your side stupidly.”
Li Qi drew his head back, brushed away the tears on her face with his big hand, nodded and said: "It seems that I am destined to fuck you for the rest of my life, oh no, it should be you who fucks for me for the rest of my life."
Bai Qiannuo smiled sweetly, and then said seriously: "Actually, Jiangnan's side is just a trivial matter, your side is the key."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Then you look down on me too much, isn't it Wang Fu? If I want to bring him down, it will only take a stick of incense."
"Bragging, I'm really not impatient." Bai Qiannuo said angrily.
Li Qi smiled and said nothing.
Bai Qiannuo said cautiously: "Brother, you can't be careless about this matter. I think Chen Dong and Ouyang Che are all talented people, and they are also Tai students. It would be overkill to just be teachers. You can recommend them to the Holy One, maybe
They can help you in the future."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I know this, but if I were to recommend them, their ratings would definitely be very low, and their lives would definitely not be easy. I don't know how long it will take for them to be able to help me."
Bai Qiannuo said: "Do you want the Grand Master to introduce them?"
"Clever!" Li Qi nodded and said, "If I recommend them, then everyone will know that they are my people, and they will definitely cause obstacles everywhere. However, the power of the Cai family in the court cannot be underestimated. If the Grand Master comes forward,
, then they will be able to flourish quickly. I have told you before that the Grand Master will never be content to sit at home. If he wants to go out, he will also need a group of helpers. He can see the talents of Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.
In my eyes, I believe he will consider it."
Bai Qiannuo said angrily: "Brother, you have thought about it a long time ago, which made me worry about you in vain."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Qiniang, you really impressed me today. Since I came back from Yanshan, I found that you have really changed a lot."
Bai Qiannuo shook her head and said: "It's not that I have changed, but that you have changed, brother. You are no longer what you used to be, and the things you face are different from before. And you are the center of me, sister Hongnu. You
If it changes, then we will naturally have to change accordingly. If you were still just a businessman, I wouldn't think about this."
"Yes, you said yes, I have changed." Li Qi sighed and asked: "Then do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Bai Qiannuo shook her head, put her face against Li Qi's chest and said, "I don't know, because I have no choice."
Li Qi was startled for a moment, then gently hugged her shoulders and sighed: "Actually--I actually have no choice."
...
In the next few days, Li Qi began to prepare for Bai Qiannuo's trip south. He first went to Zheng Yi and had a talk without any reservations. He straight away said what he was thinking, just to let Zheng Yi help him, because he
He knew that no matter how many reasons he gave, Zheng Yi would definitely be able to guess them with his intelligence, so he simply refused to play with them.
Zheng Yi thought for a long time and finally agreed to him. Naturally, his relationship with Li Qi was not so good that he would hurt her. He was not doing it for Mrs. Qin, because Mrs. Qin hated this kind of thing the most. Obviously, he
It was for the entire Zheng family. As a descendant of the Zheng family, he had shouldered an honor and a heavy responsibility since he was born. However, he had put all of this behind him for a woman, and spent several years in confusion.
, he owes this family too much. He chose Li Qi because he was optimistic about Li Qi's prospects. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of gamble. Everyone has their own needs.
Fortunately, the Zheng family also agreed. They all believed in Zheng Yi's vision, and Zheng Yi was not in the capital, but going to Jiangnan. Even if Li Qi lost, the Zheng family still had room for maneuver and would not be too affected.
It's a huge blow, but if Li Qi wins, the Zheng family will definitely benefit a lot, which makes it worth the risk.
The Zheng family quickly recommended Zheng Yi to the imperial court as an official to Song Huizong. Song Huizong had always liked Zheng Yi and agreed without thinking. He originally wanted to arrange for Zheng Yi to enter the Hanlin Academy for training. But at this time
Li Qi suddenly made a memorial. Through the reform, he hoped that the emperor would let Zheng Yi join the Commerce Bureau and then send him to Hangzhou to help him popularize the law.
This was the first time Li Qi had submitted a memorial, and he asked Qin Hui to write it. Qin Hui was very capable in this regard. It was really well-founded and well-founded.
Song Huizong also knew that Li Qi had to face many difficulties, so he happily agreed, appointed Zheng Yi as the general magistrate of Hangzhou, and ordered him to be granted the title of special economic envoy.
Although the Tongpan is equivalent to the deputy magistrate, in addition to assisting the magistrate in handling all internal affairs, the tongpan also has the meaning of supervision. In this way, the power of the tongpan is not weaker than that of the magistrate. It can be seen that this time Song Huizong also
It was considered as giving Li Qi enough face.
As for Bai Shizhong, as Bai Qiannuo expected, the old man agreed immediately. Madam Bai was reluctant to give up, but Bai Qiannuo had made up her mind, and she had no choice but to catch Li Qi.
Let off some steam.
After the two main people were selected, Li Qi sent Zhang Run'er, Chen Xiaozhu, Tian Qi and other people to accompany Bai Qiannuo south. In addition, he also selected a hundred skilled Imperial Guards from the Dragon Guard Army to protect them.
Bai Qiannuo.
It was another drizzling morning, and he came to the same pier again, with another group of familiar faces. Although Li Qi saw off three groups of people here, this time he really felt bad.
Because Bai Qiannuo is leaving Beijing for Hangzhou today. Bai Qiannuo is right. In fact, Li Qi has been preparing for a long time. It can even be said that as long as people go, they can start right away.
Mrs. Bai, who has always been very rational, has not shed a single line of hot tears today. Even Bai Shizhong secretly wiped the corners of his eyes a few times, but when he thought of being able to leave the devil Li Qi, he felt this in his heart.
Everything is worth it. You can imagine how scary Li Qi is.
Gao Yanei and others also came to give him away as his sister. Not to mention, as a brother, Gao Yanei was very competent. He packed three donkey carts with big and small bags, and he had everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He often traveled far and wide.
"Brother, I'm leaving."
Bai Qiannuo, who was disguised as a man, held back tears and told Li Qi that after all, it was inconvenient for women to travel far these days, so she had to borrow the name of his fourth brother, Bai Yuansheng, to go to Jiangnan.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Since you have decided, just go ahead and do it. No matter what, big brother will always support you."
"Um."
Li Qi turned to Zheng Yi and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm begging you."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry."
"Okay then, let's go."
Bai Qiannuo hummed and said to Ji Hongnu: "Sister Hongnu, I will ask you to take care of me."
Ji Hongnu had already been crying until he was in tears. He couldn't make a sound and could only nod his little head.
Bai Qiannuo looked at Li Qi affectionately again, and then turned around and walked to the boat. Only at this moment did she realize how much she couldn't let go of Li Qi. She was really afraid that if she dragged on any longer, she would change her mind.
For Li Qi, it was no different. He stood alone at the pier, staring blankly at the three large ships disappearing at the end, refusing to leave for a long time.
Madam Bai suddenly came over and said, "Since you are so reluctant to let go, why did you agree to her in the first place?"
Li Qidao: "I just think I should respect her decision."
Mrs. Bai said: "If you respect my daughter, you won't act erratically."
"Uh... I'm sorry Qiniang."
Mrs. Bai hummed: "It's good that you know. In fact, I'm not blaming you, I'm just reminding you, because once it involves your woman, you will often become indecisive and lose your usual calmness. This weakness is enough to make you
You are fatal. I know it is too late for me to say it now, but what you did this time was really unwise. Did you take Qiniang and the others to your heart at that time, and did you ever think that you might
For the sake of Feng Niangzi, you lost them, and even Feng Niangzi couldn't be saved. I really don't know why you made that decision at that time."
Li Qi said depressedly: "Auntie, it's okay if others can't understand it. I thought you would understand why I did this."
Mrs. Bai said: "Then give me a reason to understand you."
"If that person was Qiniang, would you still say that?" Li Qi asked directly.
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she sighed softly and changed the subject: "What are you going to do next?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "I was just going to ask my aunt for advice."
"Will you listen to what I say?"
"Of course I will listen. I respect my elders very much, but please don't cheat your son-in-law."
Madam Bai rolled her eyes at him and said: "Now you can no longer fight alone, otherwise you are no match for the Prime Minister, unless you choose to join the Prime Minister."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Then I should stand over there."
"Do you still have a choice?"
"You mean Donggong?"
"Other than him, who else dares to be friends with Wang Fu and Cai You's enemies."
The weak prince? Yes, I seem to have ignored this key figure all this time, but---can he be relied on? To be continued.)
