"You... seemed angry just now? Did something happen?" Qiu Zhixian asked cautiously. [Feng\/黄\/ Please search soon] She sat with her hands on her knees in an orderly manner, looking like a lady. Everyone was walking together, Qiu Zhixian was a weak woman, so she naturally looked to Lu Yuan as her support.
Lu Yuan smiled at her and indicated that he was fine. In order to prevent Qiu Zhixian from thinking too much, he simply took out a blank piece of paper bound in the shape of a book and started writing on it with his pen hanging from his wrist. He knew that Qiu Zhixian was the only person in Shu Mountain who belonged to Emei's sect but was not contaminated by Emei's arrogance, so he had a good impression of this girl. Of course, it's not that good feeling.
Qiu Zhixian felt relieved when she saw him writing. The scholars of this era are mostly like this, they pay attention to the art of calming down and cultivating Qi. I have so much anger and resentment that I need to put it down as soon as I enter the study and vent it all on paper! For those who cannot understand Wang Xizhi's "Song Luan Tie", it is difficult to imagine how sad he was at that time, and how he actually wrote calligraphy to express the heart-wrenching feeling!
After writing and drawing for a long time, Lu Yuan suddenly put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Zhixian, do you want to go home?"
With a "bang", Qiu Zhixian's face turned pale, and the tea cup in his hand fell to pieces on the ground! Her lips trembled as she looked at Lu Yuan, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence. Lu Yuan's words revealed the deepest fear in her heart, leaving her with nowhere to hide! People who did not live in that era would have a hard time imagining how difficult it was for a woman to survive.
Qiu Zhixian was abducted by Qiao Shousou in front of so many people. Even if she still retains her perfect body, who would still believe her? ! Once he returns to his hometown, he will be criticized by many people and his family's reputation will be brought into disgrace. Being arbitrarily married to a widower by the family, or even being used as a concubine is considered a minor offense, and you may very well be forced to death! And I'm afraid even her parents and brothers don't want her to go back alive - from the moment she was carried away, everyone had already assumed that she was dead. This is not inhumane, but this was the custom at the time.
So in ancient times, those who bullied weak women were especially hateful! Like Tian Boguang, it is not an exaggeration to light a sky lantern with a thousand cuts!
But kindness cannot be a kiss, and a son cannot be unfilial. Qiu Zhixian is just a little girl. At home, she is also pampered by the golden branches and jade leaves. It is the age when she is attached to her parents. Let her hide far away and watch her parents secretly weep and grieve. She is not a son of a human being! Therefore, she is caught between morality and family affection. dilemma. So in her heart, she just hoped that this road could go on forever and never think about that question - but she didn't expect that Lu Yuan would still ask this question!
"What are you afraid of!" Seeing Qiu Zhixian's frightened look, Lao Lu deliberately sneered. Then he put on a arrogant look, "Since you have become a monk... Master, I don't need to be afraid of anyone in the world!" Lu Yuan dropped the paper in his hand, took off his hat, and pointed his finger at With one force, the piece of sapphire embedded in the hat was pulled off.
"Ah! How could you do this?" Qiu Zhixian was startled by him, and then felt extremely distressed. Seeing him throw the sapphire into the tea cup, it clanged as if it was an ordinary stone. But as soon as the jade was washed with tea, the rice glutinous rice sealing on it suddenly dissipated, revealing its gleaming brilliance. Astonishingly crystal clear and priceless!
Lu Yuan waved the waiter over, pointed at the teacup and said, "Bring it to your shopkeeper. And this letter." He tore off a piece of paper he just wrote on and handed it to the waiter. When the waiter in the shop saw the milky white jade, his legs went weak. When I went down with the tea cup, I felt as if I had ascended to immortality, and my whole body was floating! He staggered downstairs, and Qiu Zhixian asked carefully, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Yuan chuckled, "You'll find out later."
*****
A quarter of an hour later, when Lu Yuan came downstairs, a carved two-horse carriage was already parked downstairs. Four guards and four attendants were riding horses and guarding both sides of the carriage. Seeing Lu Yuan and Immortal Queen Qiu Zhi, they all saluted. Qiu Zhixian was extremely curious, but Lu Yuan didn't explain. He dragged her straight into the carriage.
As soon as the carriage door was closed, Qiu Zhixian desperately retracted herself into the corner. Unexpectedly, the wheels were spinning, feeling the ups and downs, making Qiu Zhixian fall asleep. But Lu Yuan has been immersed in writing like a beast and has done nothing else! Didn't do it... Qiu Zhixian gritted her teeth and fell into sleep with regret.
Wait until Qiu Zhixian wakes up in the middle of the night. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was sleeping on the same bed with my clothes on! Look at the brocade quilt covering him and the red sandalwood furniture in the house, each of which is valuable. She sat up in surprise, looked around, and suddenly found a ray of light coming through the crack in the door. Qiu Zhixian quietly came to the door, leaned her eyes on the crack of the door and looked out.
It was also dark outside, with only one angry wind lamp placed on the table, illuminating Lu Yuan beside the table. Qiu Zhixian watched him move his pen as fast as he could while explaining something to the people around him in a low voice. A pair of feet stood next to him, and his upper body was buried in the darkness, with no face visible. The man seemed to be nodding his head, then took the paper from Lu Yuan's hand with both hands, bowed and left. Then another pair of feet wearing leather boots walked out of the darkness and stood beside Lu Yuan, waiting quietly.
I don’t know how many people are hiding in the shadowy darkness!
Qiu Zhixian was watching with fear. Under the weak light, Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head and met her eyes. Qiu Zhixian was so frightened that she almost screamed! Just when she was terrified, she saw Lu Yuan wave his hand, and the light on the crack of the door disappeared, and she could no longer see anything.
If Qiu Zhixian lives for a few hundred more years, he will definitely know that what he saw back then was so similar to the classic scene in "The Godfather"...
Lu Yuan was sitting in the dark study room, once again stirring up the world.
*****
Lu Yuan had made countless plans before entering Shushan. But no plan is based on good luck - just like encountering the massacre in Yangzhou, being angry and stopping it, but being accepted by luck, and then combining the two swords of luck to kill Emei without a trace. Waiting for such a thing - he had never even thought about it!
Although he was exposed to Emei's sight from the beginning, it actually had nothing to do with good luck. He was able to get help from China's luck later because luck needed his planning ability. For this reason, Lu Yuan is still carrying ten tribulations and forty-nine heavenly tribulations!
Just like when he was in the Mass Effect world, he had seven or eight plans running in parallel at the same time, the same is true in this world! No matter whether there is a risk that Qi Luck will turn around and trick him, he will not place all his hopes on cooperation with Qi Luck. In ten years, in addition to laying down General Li Dingguo's intelligence network and the root system of luck, Lu Yuan also had this third giant commercial network that spread all over the country!
The Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River started with a hundred ships of rice shipped overseas.
Taking advantage of the reputation gained through disaster relief, the Lu family's "Shangji" business group spread across the south of the Yangtze River in full swing, and now has the potential to spread across the prairie fire. Whether it's brothels, teahouses, restaurants, or even horse shops, or big teahouses, you can see the shadow of "Shangji Chain" everywhere. "Shangji" is famous for its "seven-point profit margin", which helps franchisees withstand the pressure of natural disasters and disasters, but never competes with franchisees for profits.
"Shangji" specializes in logistics and transportation, and its products are mainly sold overseas, so it has an excellent reputation in Jiangnan!
In addition, millions of silver taels flow into the Nanming court and Li Ding from "Shangji" every year. "Shangji" even did good deeds in the south of the Yangtze River, but his family did not buy any land, hide gold or silver, or build luxurious houses, and rarely attracted prying eyes. As for the greedy and corrupt officials, "Shangji" can naturally be dismissed easily.
In the north occupied by the Manchus, it was a different scene.
The "Tianji" trading company, presided over by Lu Wu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and owned by all the princes and dignitaries from all over the dynasty, dominated the entire north like a huge monster! Compared with "Shangji"'s concessions to benefit the people, "Tianji" trading company is undoubtedly much more greedy. In fact, it should be extremely greedy! It is like a monster that swallows everything. Not to mention the profits in the market, it is the crops in the local officials' private land, the remaining local labor force, and even the entire tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty, all are quietly being swallowed up by this monster!
With the help of a group of "operators", Kang Mazi's annual income was actually 40% less than that of his father during the Shunzhi period - it was all Li Dingguo's fault!
Then the money turned into a rolling torrent, overwhelming all enemies who dared to stand in the way. Even Kang Mazi was frightened and pretended not to know. When there is enough money to tie up the interests of countless powerful people, is it still difficult for someone to become the emperor? Money can communicate with the gods, and naturally it can also open up channels in the south of the Yangtze River, and transport back from "Shangji" countless luxurious things that the northern barbarians desire...
Of course, on the surface, these two huge monsters still have to fight along the Yangtze River, throwing tens of millions of millionaires into the river every year, as if the two families are fighting to the death!
*****
But that night, dozens of big shopkeepers who rushed to Wancheng under the stars and the moon finally found out that "Tian Ji" and "Shang Ji", who had fought so hard that a white knife went in and a red knife came out, were actually the same boss behind the scenes! The "Treasure of the Earth", which is regarded as the most precious treasure in the world, and the "Northern Mineral Distribution", which is the lifeblood of "Tianji", were both written by the person in front of me...
You must know that the "Shangji" fleet can lead to the secret route to the Kingdom of England, and the "Tianji" firmly controls the coal and iron throughout the Qing Dynasty - the former is the source of huge profits, and the latter is the lifeblood of the country. These are the two. The foundation of family survival!
That night, after taking "Zhongxin Pills" (nano pills), these big shopkeepers officially became the big shopkeepers of the new "Tian Shang Ji" trading company. These forty-two big shop owners became the first batch of elders of "Tian Shang Ji". When Lu Yuan and Lu Wu were away, the Senate formed by them could feel that "Tian Shang Ji" was almost all matters. The wealth that the senators could control naturally doubled in an instant! Because there are extremely deep officials in the north and south. With family background, no matter who sits in the Dragon Court, there is no way to truly eradicate the influence of "Tian Shang Ji". From then on, there is no hidden worry of being overthrown by the change of dynasties in the world.
Moreover, money can circulate all over the world, even overseas, and these businessmen and elders increasingly see the power of money. Not only that, from then on, the trade route of "Tian Shang Ji" extended to Zheluo in the south, to the Ice and Snow No Man's Land in the north, to the Japanese Kingdom in the east, and to Dashi in the west. Tens of millions of people under his command worked for this purpose - commerce around the world was no longer a dream. …(To be continued.)
