I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 543 Hedong and Hexi

The butcher's eyes were waiting for Liang Qingshu to finish the cup of tea. Now that he saw it was empty, he quickly stood up and bent down to fill it up. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liang, you know I don't have enough brain. What?" I can't understand anything.

 How knowledgeable you are? Can you give me a few words?

 It saves us and the headless people, just guessing and thinking all day long. "

Zhu Rong couldn't see his lack of ambition, so he turned his head away and pretended not to see it.

But his ears twitched and twitched, and he was listening carefully all the time.

Liang Qingshu waved his hand and said, "Veteran, you are becoming more and more humble. If you want to say that you have no brains, how did you train your girl to be so good?

 How did the business become so big?

To be honest, I am only a few years older than you. My boss likes me, an old guy. I have been running for my boss for so many years, and the rest is not as good as you.

 In a few years, when I get older and can no longer work for my employer, I will have to return to Sanhe to retire! "

The butcher smiled and said, "You are so humble."

He did not dare to take what Liang Qingshu said seriously.

 “I’m telling the truth,”

Liang Qingshu said slowly and leisurely, "It's just that I rely on my employer and look like a human being. When I am no longer the so-called shopkeeper and return to Sanhe, who else can recognize my surname Liang?"

 When the time comes, people will hate dogs, and if everyone doesn’t step on me, I will be like Amitabha. I pray that I can live a peaceful life for a few days.

Unlike you, you two have your own business. Even if you don't do it in the future, you will still be a rich man when you return to the countryside. Who dares to fool around in front of you? "

Pork likes to hear this.

Liang Qingshu is just like Zhang Shun. Even though he looks like a dog now, he is just an errand boy for his employer.

 Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the one who laughs last is the winner.

However, no matter what he was thinking in his heart, he said, "Shopkeeper Liang, your words are too flattering to us. Now more and more businessmen are coming to Ankang City. A little profitable business, a lot of people Rush to do it.

From now on, it will be good if you don’t lose money. It’s not certain whether you can have pension money. Maybe one mistake will mean losing all your money.

Unlike you, the harvest is guaranteed regardless of drought or flood, and you don’t have to take risks yourself. It’s too late for us to envy you. "

Putting his hand on the butcher's forehead, this porker is usually quite smart, so why is he talking nonsense now?

Liang Qingshu, as Liang Gen’s big shopkeeper, is quite pregnant!

　　Although I don’t know the exact amount, even if it is only one percent, it is worth more than one million taels!

He has worked with Pork Rongjia for a lifetime, but he can't compare to others.

I am very sure of that!

What's more, a few days ago, Prince He called for donations to Yuzhou, and Liang Qingshu donated one hundred thousand taels in his own name!

And when he and Zhu Zhurong saw that everyone was donating, and the situation had reached this point, they couldn't save their face, so they had no choice but to donate two hundred taels.

 How to compare with others?

 “You are confused again,”

The butcher finally couldn't help but kicked Pork Rong under the table. Regardless of Pork Rong's expression, he just smiled at Liang Qingshu and said, "Shopkeeper Liang's dividend for one year is more than we can earn in our lifetime. Donate to the victims." , one shot is one hundred thousand taels!

 It shocked those Yankees!

How dare you underestimate us Sanhe people? "

"Yes Yes"

Pork Rong smiled and actually forgot about this.

 He remembered that Li Sanniang was deeply moved by Liang Qingshu's generosity at that time!

Liang Qingshu’s annual dividends must be quite large!

Moreover, he started as an apprentice in the Liang family and lasted thirty years!

Liang Gen, the old man of the Liang family, trusted him extremely.

The filial sons and grandsons of the Liang family, who were well-off, had to raise their hands and call him uncle or grandpa respectfully when they saw Liang Qingshu.

 You can see the high status!

Thinking of this, his head suddenly dropped. How could he speak without thinking?

　　It makes people laugh.

“Okay, let’s stop complimenting each other, it’s not that interesting,”

Liang Qingshu said nonchalantly, "Anyone with a discerning eye will know what's going on at this emperor's lunch auction."

The butcher smiled and said, "That means our prince is definitely short of money again.

But then again, when will our prince not be short of money? "

"good,"

Liang Qingshu said without hesitation, “This time I am willing to undermine the royal majesty and engage in such an auction, which is probably even more lacking.

We, merchants from all walks of life in Daliang Kingdom, gathered in Ankang City. The first thing we wanted to do was to solve the problems for the prince. We were concerned about the prince's worries and thought about what the prince thought. This is the true loyalty to the emperor. "

The butcher said impatiently, "What about the second one?"

Liang Qing wrote, "The second one is my Sanheren. What an honor it is to be called by the Holy Spirit to hold a banquet."

Pork Rong hummed, "Is there a third one?"

Liang Qingshu said slowly and leisurely, "It is said that the one who comes out on top will be awarded the title of Model of Charity of the Liang Kingdom by the prince himself!"

Seeing the two people stunned in shock, he bowed his head and drank tea proudly.

 “This is a gold medal to avoid death!”

Zhu Rong opened his eyes wide and said, "No wonder I said so many people are flocking to Ankang City!"

　　　Xiao Jing and Wang Ye are false, but coming to find a life-saving talisman is true.

Liang Qingshu snorted coldly, "Anyone from a wealthy family or a wealthy family who doesn't reveal anything is better off if they don't shake it off. If it does, they should all be executed."

"That"

The butcher wanted to ask, shouldn’t the Liang family need a life-saving charm?

 But when he thought of what the Liang family did before he and the prince entered Sanhe, he stopped talking.

Both the Liang family and the Wang family made their fortunes at sea!

 The number of evil deeds committed was at least seventy, if not a hundred.

These people should all be cut to pieces.

Pork Rong said cheerfully, “There’s nothing wrong with spending money to buy peace.

However, I heard that those businessmen from Ayugu also came to join in the fun. Why is this? "

Liang Qingshu smiled and said nothing, smoothed his sleeves, stood up and said, "Farewell, thank you both for the tea."

"Hey,"

Zhu Rong looked at his back and said, "That's half the story, it's quite interesting."

 The butcher said, "I just don't want to talk about it."

 Pork Rong asked, “Then do you know why?”

The butcher said, "Ask me, who should I ask?"

 Then he changed the subject and said, "However, I think there is someone who might know."

"who?"

Pork Rong asked.

 “Wang Xiaoshuan, that little bastard,”

He leaned the butcher back on the chair, yawned and said, "He is in the capital camp now, and he must have good information. You might as well go and ask him."

 “I’m so idle,”

Zhu Rong rolled his eyes, "If I have that time, I might as well sleep a little longer."

 Why the businessmen of Ayu State wanted to participate in this auction? Not only Zhu Zhurong and others were surprised, but even Lin Yi was confused and asked Pan Duo, who also looked embarrassed.

 No matter how powerful the imperial guards and shadows are, they have not yet penetrated into the Ayu Kingdom and its merchants.

Lin Yi did not continue to ask questions and understood Pan Duo better.

 Just a black man, no matter how good he is in Chinese, cannot be a spy.

  Skin color is a flaw no matter how you deal with it.

 At nightfall, Du Yinniang solved his doubts.

“Your Majesty, when I was at sea, I heard someone say that the Emperor Li Fu of Asoka was not dead. After emptying the treasury of Asoka, he fled to the sea in a big ship and occupied the island as king.”

Du Yinniang rubbed Lin Yi's shoulders and said, "Many businessmen from Ayugu in Ankang City are from Li Fo. According to my father's guess, Li Fo may be secretly accumulating power to counterattack the Western Yi."

Lin Yi closed his eyes slightly and said, "Then there's no need to participate in this auction, right?"

Du Yinniang pondered for a moment and said, "I just want to say something casually, hoping that the prince will not be offended. Based on my guess, does Li Fu want to take advantage of this opportunity to reconcile with the prince and use the prince's power to return to Asoka?"

Lin Yi sat up from her elastic thighs and frowned, "When you say so, it's not impossible.

If he really gives me tens of millions of taels of silver, it’s not like I can’t help him restore his country. "

He had a vague feeling.

The most serious problem of the Liang Kingdom is not King Yong, not Xihuang, not Jizhao'an, and not Ayu Kingdom.

 But those Westerners who have never met each other before.

These people, ships, and artillery are powerful and have invaded most of the surrounding countries and regions.

 If they are allowed to continue to act unbridled, there will be real trouble.

 “The prince is wise.”

Du Yinniang was very happy to see Lin Yi's approval.

 On the second day, Lin Yi was still in high spirits.

 The fishing man’s boring day has begun again.

 As soon as I went out, I saw a carriage.

The sedan curtain was half-opened. Out of curiosity, Lin Yi took a few steps back and saw a bright face.

The woman obviously saw him and quickly lowered the curtain.

Han Deqing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is shopkeeper Xiao Chuhong Xiao from Jingzhou, here to see Mr. Ye Qiu."

 “The Xiao family in Jingzhou?”

Lin Yi remembered hearing this name.

 “Exactly,”

Han Deqing tried his best to recall, "Wang Xu sent troops to Chuzhou, and the Xiao family helped pay 500,000 taels. The prince also personally awarded Shopkeeper Xiao the title of Model Supporter of Soldiers. A few days ago, for Yuzhou's disaster relief, Shopkeeper Xiao donated another 200,000 taels. After Mr. Gan Mao of the Ministry of Revenue personally received him, he ordered that since shopkeeper Xiao came to Ankang City, he could not neglect him, which chilled people's hearts.

 So, my subordinates were bold enough to let Shopkeeper Xiao’s carriage in without permission and park it outside the mansion. "

In order to become a qualified guard commander, he asked Liang Yuanzhi for a bunch of information and memorized the resumes of many adults. Unexpectedly, he would use them right away.

　　I will not be confused when I am questioning the prince.

 Sure enough, hard work pays off.

Lin Yi said, "I think about it, this girl also went to Sanhe. In order to get a shipping certificate, she used fifty taels of silver to help pay. I'm very impressed. Does she have a crush on Ye Qiu?"

 At this point, he was disgusted!

 Lin Yi is not bad either!

 Why don’t you look for him?

Han Deqing said, "Master Ye is devoted to martial arts and seems to be avoiding Shopkeeper Xiao on purpose."

 “Hmph, there is nothing incomprehensible about the style, it’s just self-deception.”

Lin Yi thought of those so-called "straight men" again.

Some women are just like men. They are obviously lickers, but for the sake of their own face, they wholeheartedly excuse the men they like and call them straight men.

 In fact, the reason is that this steely straight man doesn't like her.

　　If you meet someone you like, a straight man will instantly turn into a licker.

 “That’s what the prince said.”

  Han Deqing habitually echoed.

 This is also the first skill to be mastered after becoming the guard commander.

 It doesn't matter whether what you said to the prince is right or not, even if it is wrong, it is still with "the prince is wise" and "what the prince said is right".

 Because many people have proven through practice that anyone who goes against Prince He will not end well in the end.

Lin Yi glanced at the back of the carriage again and said, "Let that **** Ye Qiu come to see me. He is young and doesn't know the beauty of a rich woman. He mistakenly plants his youth upside down. He will regret it later."

"yes."

Han Deqing said this, but he didn’t think so in his heart.

 As the Ye family is a large family in Sanhe, how can they be short of money?

What's more, now that Ye Chen has opened up a new situation in Ankang City, he is making money every day!

Lin Yi hid under the shade of a tree and caught two crucian carp when Ye Qiu came over.

Lin Yi glanced at Ye Qiu, who was fluttering in white clothes, and then looked at himself in big pants, and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you hot?"

Ye Qiu said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm not too upset."

Lin Yi cleared his throat and asked, "Did you know that Xiao Chuhong came to see you?"

Ye Qiu still said expressionlessly, "If I didn't kill her, I would have given her the Xiao family's face."

“I know that a woman will affect the speed at which you draw your sword, but have you ever thought that if you find a rich woman, she can help you change your sword to a better one?”

Lin Yi glanced at the hilt of the sword on Ye Qiu's waist, which had long been worn as if polished. "Look, how poor you are now. You can't even afford to replace a good sword."

Ye Qiu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Yi, "Dear, don't reject me, we can still be friends."

Ye Qiu's face turned red and he couldn't help but said, "What do you want me to do?"

"no no,"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said seriously, "You misunderstood, I am doing this for your own good."

"yes."

 Ye Qiu sighed and drifted away.

 “I am in the midst of blessings but I don’t know how blessed I am.”

Lin Yi was also helpless.

Until the sun goes down, Lin Yi returns home with a full load.

Passing by Guan Xiaoqi’s sheep shed, I smelled the smell of sheep from a long way away.

Looking at the strong goats one after another, he couldn't help but said, "You take good care of them. You can roast the whole goat in winter."

Guan Xiaoqi rolled his eyes and said, "You're talking nonsense again. This is the ewe I bought at a big price. You can't eat it. I keep the lambs."

Lin Yi said, "Then wait a moment and eat their cubs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Sheng emerged from a nearby sheepfold. Just as he was about to kneel down, Lin Yi stopped him and said with a smile, "You are my father-in-law now, so don't be so polite."

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

 Guan Sheng was a little at a loss for a while.

 “How are you these days?”

 “Thanks to the prince, the common people can eat and drink, which is very good.”

 Guan Sheng said in a hurry.

 “That’s good, come and visit more when you have time,”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Come and stay with her more, so that she won't have to worry about herself alone."

"Yes Yes,"

Guan Sheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so kind and loving, it is really the blessing that my Guan family has cultivated over many lifetimes."

He didn't know whether it was good or bad to marry his daughter to Prince He's palace, and he was frightened every day.

 However, he knew he had no choice.
