As summer passes and autumn comes, leisure remains the same.
While Li Qing was resting, he was also paying attention to the changes in Jiangnan to prevent Shen Xin's elimination from having adverse effects.
But the facts proved that he had overthought. With the maturity of various industries, the impact on the overall economic situation of Jiangnan was not big. If one Shen Xin fell, there would be many younger Shen Xins to take over.
When a whale falls, everything comes alive!
With the departure of the giant Shen Xin, many upward channels have been created - upward channels for business.
There are not many mediocre people in the wealthy gentry, and everyone is well aware of the profits of maritime trade. If there is a way to advance, they will naturally be interested.
What's more, under Li Qing's initiative, Shen Xin sold the products in packages, and the supply chain, workshops, and workers were all sold together, which provided the rich gentry with too much convenience.
At the same time, workers in the workshop will not lose their jobs because of Shen Xin's departure.
As for Fu Shen, as long as he takes over, the workshop will be operational immediately. It can be said that he has picked up a money-making machine for free.
No one is willing to do such a good thing, so that the amount of Shen Xin's assets returned was nearly 40% more than he expected, which made him extremely happy.
After Li Qing learned about it, he was also happy. The more money Shen Xin brings to the north, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the north.
This act not only released the wealth of the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, but also freed up Shen Xin's assets for use in the north.
And in the long run, the common people will have more work choices. In order to win over the workers, the rich gentry will squeeze the common people, at least for a long time in the future, there is a high probability that it will not happen.
This model of a hundred flowers blooming is far better than a single company.
Under the pavilion, Li Qing poured himself a cup and drank leisurely.
"Using the market to raise capital and then returning capital to the people is called taking from the people and using it for the people."
After drinking another glass, Li Qing had a look of enjoyment on his face. He didn't know whether it was because of the sweetness of the bayberry wine, or because he was happy for the good situation, or maybe both. He squinted his eyes and looked at ease.
Li Qing was humming a little tune and shaking his head, it was so beautiful.
"Uncle Li, Grandpa Zhang asked you to cook." The little girl Xiaozi ran over and timidly reminded, "It's only half an hour until dinner time, don't delay."
"Yes, I understand." Li Qing nodded and continued to feel content.
Cooking doesn't take much time. Choosing vegetables, washing vegetables, cooking pots, and chopping vegetables are all done by servants. He is responsible for cooking, and he is rich for half an hour.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Li Qing said in surprise: "Is there anything else?"
"No, no more." Zhu Wanqing shook her little head, hesitated for a moment, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, my niece was not sensible before."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Wanqing was startled: Uncle Li is still generous, but not as generous as I thought...
"Speak louder, I didn't hear you!" Li Qing snorted, "Say it again and listen."
"I..." Zhu Wanqing didn't understand that he did it on purpose. He could hear it even from such a distance. She couldn't help puffing up her cheeks and said: "It's nothing. Go and cook quickly, otherwise Grandpa Zhang will beat you. I won't help."
After that, he stamped his little feet and walked away angrily.
"You have quite a temper," Li Qing chuckled and muttered to himself, "It's better to beat him lightly."
But Li Qing was just talking. He wouldn't have trouble with a girl over such a trivial matter. People always have to go through a process of adaptation.
Having been unruly and willful for so long, how could she suddenly change her nature? The little girl has changed a lot these days.
Li Qing is not a harsh person. As long as he can change, he can be a kind and loving elder.
Of course, if you don’t change your nature, you will have to take legal action!
…
People will slack off after living comfortably for too long, so Li Qing rested for another quarter of an hour.
It wasn't until it was almost too late that I hurriedly went to the east kitchen. I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the floor. It could be said that I was stuck on some homework that was due.
At noon today, the whole family is gathered together.
Li Qing, Zhang Sulu, Li Hong, Zhu Gaoxu and his grandson, Zhu Qizhen's family of three, were very lively.
"Qingzi, cook more dishes next time and let outsiders know. They thought we couldn't afford it." Zhang Slutty said.
"Uh... Okay, make more next time." Li Qing nodded. In fact, he was too late, so he reduced the amount by one-third.
Although there are a few dishes, the taste is not bad. After the meal, the plates do not need to be washed, and the food is clean.
Autumn has just begun, but it's not too hot anymore. Every time after lunch, Li Qing likes to take a copy of "Yongle Dadian", put on a pot of tea, and sit there all afternoon. gōΠb.ōγg
Today was no exception. He picked up a book on yin and yang magic and started to read through it.
Li Qing has been deeply involved in this type of books, and now he has reached a level comparable to the "weather forecast" of later generations.
After all...the weather forecast is not accurate either!
Just after turning a few pages, the little girl ran in again, revealing half of her head, "Uncle Li, someone is looking for you outside."
"Oh, I see."
He knows how to put on a show... The little girl quietly rolled her eyes and added: "It seems to be that Shen Fushen."
"Is it him? He's back so soon?" Li Qing was startled, "Okay, I'll go right away and tell the old man that I won't make dinner. I can't let my servants go to the restaurant to pack some food and come back."
"Oh, I know." The little girl agreed sadly. The food in the restaurant couldn't compare to Uncle Li's cooking.

Shen Mansion.
Shen Xin was so proud of the spring breeze that he seemed to be ten years younger, with a rosy face and a loud laugh.
"Boss Shen is done so quickly?" Li Qing asked.
"Oh, but Suzhou and Hangzhou, where the investment is the largest, have completed the delivery." Shen Xin said with a smile, "It didn't take much effort at all. I just let the news out, and they rushed over. The purchase price was higher than I expected." It’s got to be a lot more.”
After a pause, he cupped his hands and said, "This is all thanks to Mr. Li. Don't worry, sir. After the accounts are compiled, Shen will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Shen Xin is a businessman and is well versed in investment.
He understood that if he wanted to quickly establish a foothold in the north, he must have Li Qing's help, otherwise anyone could bully him if he was unfamiliar with the place.
No matter how much you invest in Li Qing, not to mention anything else, the extra income brought by Li Qing's help this time is worth the combined net worth of several wealthy gentry in Jinling.
The original agreement was to recover half of the loss as compensation. Shen Xin's original plan was to give Li Qing three million no matter how much he recovered, even if it was divided in full, or even reversed.
But this time it was too much to save, so he was prepared to give five million.
Even so, he was not at a loss.
Li Qing asked: "Have you paid?"
"Not yet. It's only been a while. We have only reached preliminary cooperation." Shen Xin said with a smile, "I came back this time just to bring some people over and report to your Excellency."
Li Qing chuckled and nodded: "With the words written in black and white, and the brothers of Jin Yiwei controlling the situation, those people don't dare to cheat. By the way, do those people threaten you?"
"Yes." Shen Xin nodded, then, with a touch of awe on his face, he said with a flattering smile: "As soon as I mentioned your name, they immediately became honest. Although they were still rude, their aura was much weaker. It’s obviously a bluff.”
He is really convinced by Li Qing now, and it is really easy to mention Li Qing.
Shen Xin saw the wild changes in the faces of those arrogant officials in the past when they heard Li Qing's name. He could see that those people were not just in general awe of Li Qing, but even had a deep respect for him. fear.
Shen Xin sighed: These are real thighs!
He felt that he had overestimated Li Qing enough, but after taking a trip, he understood the terrifying power of Li Qing.
Thinking about abandoning Li Qing and turning to curry favor with others, he wished he could give himself a big mouth. If he had known it earlier, how could he have been here today.
Shen Xin said gratefully: "I thought the assets could only be sold at a low price, but my Lord's action has saved Shen a loss of tens of millions of taels. Shen did not dare to forget the original agreement. If my Lord needs money urgently, Shen can pay in advance." .”
"No need." Li Qing waved his hand, "I'm not short of money. I'm not in a hurry right now. The top priority is to gather assets first."
After a pause, "The north is full of waste and is full of business opportunities. If you develop there, I can guarantee that you will not make less money than you do here."
"That's, that's..." Shen Xin smiled apologetically, "With adults protecting you, why should Shen worry about not getting rich?"
"Oh? Haha..." Li Qing laughed and was in a good mood.
First, capital must have confidence in the market, so that talents are willing to spend money to drive the economy. When Shen Xin went to the north to release wealth, the positive development brought about by him could not be matched by ten or a hundred capable ministers and officials.
Shen Xin also laughed along with him: "I will rely on adults more from now on..."
