"Sigh... I have been operating in Fengyang City for so many years, and I really can't bear to leave. Besides, Jiangnan is too hot and Yanyun is too cold. I really can't get used to living there." Shi Mingtao said.
"Then just stay in Fengyang City and let's continue doing business." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"However..." Shi Mingtao sighed again.
"Ming Tao, you are smart all your life, but you have been confused for a moment." Xiao Chen said, "Even if the Queen Mother has something that she cannot bear to say, the emperor will never touch you. If the emperor doesn't touch you, who will?" Dare to touch you?"
"Oh? Boss, where did you start talking about this?" Shi Mingtao was shocked when he heard this.
"Let's start with the word filial piety that the Emperor has always advocated!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Filial piety comes first, and our Emperor is a model for the world... To put it bluntly, apart from having a great backer like our Queen Mother and being a bit smelly, Shi Mingtao Besides money, what else do you have? Do you have soldiers? Do you have territory? Do you have power?"
You don't have it!
So if the Queen Mother unfortunately dies, will the Emperor have the nerve to touch your brother-in-law? It’s too late to hurt you! Otherwise, can we show our emperor's filial piety?
So not only will nothing happen to you, maybe the emperor will also give you a title to express his memory and gratitude for the Queen Mother...
You can't tell this at all. You've spent so many years in Fengyang City in vain!
Of course, if the emperor loves you, you can't be inflated. You must live a more low-key life, just like before, you can make a fortune in silence.
Of course, you can't make a fortune alone. Which one is better, the happiness of everyone or the happiness of one person? So if you want to make a fortune, everyone must make it together... In the past, the Queen Mother ate meat alone and only let the big ones drink soup. Now it should be okay to chew two bones, right?
You Mingtao know all these little details, and you don’t need me to teach you, but remember, as your business grows, your horizons must be raised a bit, don’t just mess around with those petty officials and officials, and waste money. It's a waste of time and energy. How can they help you when you really need something?
Shi Mingtao said that I would like to hang out with the senior management, but can I do it?
Although I am the nephew of the Queen Mother, it sounds like I am very valuable, but I have no choice but to fool people in the lower places. The high officials in the court do not like me!
Many times I came to visit with generous gifts, but they all hit a snag. People have seen each other, but what they say are all vague words. There is such indifference and contempt in their politeness...
After all, you still don’t look down on me as a businessman! Either they regard me as a relative, so they keep away from me.
"Hahaha, you Mingtao, let's call you stupid. You are so smart in business. Even if you are smart, you are often stupid. You also know that you have a special status, so how can you openly come to see others? Just Don’t you know how to use a roundabout way? If you make friends with those adults’ housekeepers and cronies, will it make them better or make you feel worse?”
Um? Shi Mingtao's body trembled, and he heard something interesting.
"You are also a businessman, and Zhang Baiwan is also a businessman. See how they do it?" Xiao Chen said, "The heating system has been installed in Yanyunguan, saying that we can't bear to see the soldiers on the border suffer from the cold... Xue Jinshan even went out of his way to give the emperor a piece of paper to praise him, how do you think the emperor is so proud?"
Zhang Baiwan is the father of concubine Zhang Juer, and he is also a relative of the emperor. How can the emperor be unhappy if his relative is so sensible?
Look at this relative of yours. Apart from making money and making friends, what else does he do? Let me ask you.
They are all relatives of the emperor, so why is the gap so big?
"It's not all your fault, boss!" After hearing Xiao Chen's suggestion, Shi Mingtao suddenly felt that things were bright and clear, and his mood suddenly became better. "You just taught Zhang Baiwan, but you don't know how to teach Zhang Baiwan." Teach me brother! If I had received your guidance earlier, how could I have gotten to where I am now?"
"Then I'll give you some advice, and then you can go find Gong Shouli and establish friendship with him first." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"That guy Gong Shouli... is not easy to get along with." What Shi Mingtao actually wanted to say is that Gong Shouli has never dealt with you, Mr. Xiao. If I go to find him, isn't it the same as having sex at your door?
"Hahaha, you are wrong. Old Gong is actually very easy to get along with. Then the grandson will accept the money!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "If it is difficult to see him, then find his two godsons and those two gray My grandson also recognizes the money!”
"Understood!" Shi Mingtao also understood it, but I still want you to support me, boss. At this critical moment...
"Okay, I understand. I will help you introduce some adults later. It will be good for you and their families. As long as the relationship is good, no matter what big or small things happen to you Mingtao in the future, they can't just watch and ignore it. ." Xiao Chen said.
"I can make a hundred thousand dollars if I listen to you! My visit this time is really not in vain." Shi Mingtao felt that this visit was worth it.
"Why did you come here empty-handed?" Xiao Chen expressed his displeasure, can't you?
"Of course it's not possible. I've already given the little thought to Brother Yama, and there are some specialties from various places for Miss Ling'er... Where's Miss Ling'er?" Every time Shi Mingtao gives a gift to Xiao Chen, he must give it to Ling'er. Prepare a separate portion for your son.
"Oh, she went back earlier." Xiao Chen said.
Ling'er and the others took a speedboat and went south with the wind, and soon they arrived at the waters of Minzhou County. Ren Bijiang broke up with them here and took the first step, agreeing that next spring either you will come or I will go, and we will definitely see each other again.
Xiao Ye had few friends, and Ren Pijiang had no friends, so it was a bit sad to see the two brothers farewell like this.
After bidding farewell to Ren Bijiang, he went straight to Yizhou Island. Xiao Xinghan happened to be patrolling the port in person in the past few days and was greatly surprised when he saw Ling'er suddenly arriving.
"Chief rudder, this is what happened. Brother Xiao said it is extremely urgent. Please be prepared. If it doesn't work, just... go here. Brother Xiao has already informed the young island master of Paradise Island in advance about food and accommodation. It will be arranged gradually." Ling'er pointed to the map on the table.
"Silver Island?" Xiao Xinghan frowned, "How many people can be accommodated in that tiny place? What kind of joke is Yuan Qi kidding me?"
"Chief Helmsman, Brother Xiao is not joking with you. Otherwise, could you send me to come all the way to tell you? He said that although the Yizhou Navy is powerful, I am afraid that it cannot withstand the Japanese Fleet and the Great Zhou Navy. Let's attack together, and there are also Li Feng and Li Wanyun's 200,000 troops," Ling'er said.
"Haha, where did Yuan Qi get this news? The Japanese are currently fighting Wanyan Pingqiu in Gaojuli. How can they mobilize so many fleets to attack Yizhou? I see that these are the suspects used by Li Wanjiang The plan is to disrupt my military morale." Xiao Xinghan really didn't believe it, not at all.
The Japanese navy also suffered heavy losses in the last battle with the Ross fleet at Shunfeng Port. At this time, the Northern Xinjiang Alliance was attacking Gao Juli. The Japanese people had too much to take care of themselves. How could they go south to help Li Wanjiang attack Yizhou?
Besides, what benefit would conquering Yizhou bring to the Japanese people?
