Taiping Inn

The largest inn in Longmen Mansion is Mingsheng Inn, which is a century-old brand born and raised. Although Taiping Inn is famous, it is an outsider and a latecomer, so it is naturally far worse than that. Taiping Sect knew that the situation in Longmen Mansion was complicated and did not pay attention to the Taiping Inn here. It was more like a routine at the beginning, so the Taiping Inn here was not located in a prosperous area and was not large in scale. It was probably Mrs. Lu and Shen Da. The size of the husband-and-wife store.

After Li Xuandu and Qin Su came to Taiping Inn here, they found that it was full of customers. It seems that there are too many people who have flocked to Longmen Mansion recently, and the major inns in the city are already full.

At this time, a young man stood outside the inn. Although he was dressed as a businessman, he had a scholarly aura that only scholars could have. In addition, he had a handsome face and a slender figure. He could not bear it if there were occasional female heroes passing by. Stay and take a look.

When Li Xuandu saw this person, he put away the paper umbrella in his hand and handed it to Qin Su, bowing and saying, "Why, thank you for your hard work."

This person is Li Rushi. He smiled slightly and said with a respectful voice: "I dare not, the shopkeeper and the boss please follow me."

When Li Xuandu and Qin Su heard this title, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Under the guidance of Li Rushi, the two entered Taiping Inn through the back door. This place was a small courtyard with two wing rooms and a wood-room. Li Xuan looked around for a week and asked, "Why do you live here on weekdays?"

Li Rushi nodded.

Li Xuandu said, "I feel wronged."

Li Rushi smiled and said, "This place is much better than the Kuye Island."

After saying that, Li Rushi invited the two of them into one of the wing rooms. This was his study room. Although it was simple, it was cleaned up very clean. In addition to one book case, there are a large number of files neatly stacked.

Li Rushi said: "The most troublesome thing nowadays is these things. The detailed information about the various 'buds' in our Taiping Inn is not a long-term solution after all."

Li Xuandu said: "In this way, we need to build a place similar to the central headquarters. Where do you think it is better to choose?"

Li Rushi said: "We are still short of manpower now, and we cannot set up a well-defended main hall like Wandu Gate and Tingfeng Tower. Longmen Mansion is a neutral place in the world. It is mixed with fish and dragons but also avoids the major sects. It is most appropriate to choose this place, but the key is to hide the eyes and ears."

Li Xuandu and Li Rushi have been together for many years, and they know each other very well, and directly asked, "Do you have a goal?"

Li Rushi said: "There is a good house in Yong'an Square, three streets away from the Wanxiang Academy. It was originally a residence for celebrities in the world. A few years ago, the famous man from the world returned to his hometown and returned to his hometown. This house was I was empty and planned to change my hand. However, because the house is close to the Vientiane Academy, it is expensive. I also have to ask the shopkeeper and boss for this matter."

Qin Su asked, "How much money?"

Li Rushi said, "It costs 650,000 taels of silver, but if you can settle the bill with Taiping Money, 21,000 Taiping Money will be almost enough."

Qin Su pondered for a moment and said, "You can buy it. Why do you make the decision if you spend less than one million taels of silver in the future?"

Li Rushi subconsciously glanced at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Depending on what I do, this is not my money. Since the boss has spoken, don't worry about spending it, but remember to make a good account and submit it to the boss for account checking at the end of the year."

Qin Su said, "No need for this..."

Li Xuandu interrupted her and said, "It's not that you can't believe it, but that you must establish individual rules in everything. In the future, the boss, accountant, and shopkeeper will change others, so you still have to do this according to this set of rules."

Qin Su said, "I didn't think that far."

Li Xuan looked at her: "It's not that you can't imagine it, but you didn't think about it at all, right?"

Qin Su coughed lightly, and ignored the words, and said, "Why, have you ever found a helper? After all, he has been busy with documentary matters for many years, and he still lacks a person who can add fragrance to his red sleeves."

Li Ru shook her head and said, "I dare not ask for extravagance."

Li Xuandu said, "It's okay, our boss has many good sisters, all of whom are famous ladies, noble families, and both talented and beautiful. Let her introduce one."

Qin Su has been with Li Xuandu for a long time, and has learned a little bit of poor talk. He continued, "My best sister is surnamed Lu, with a small name Bingyan, and she is both talented and beautiful. She is still a fellow villager with Yunhe, but she doesn't know about it. Why do you think so?”

Li Rushi was a little amused by Li Xuandu and Qin Suyi's singing and talking: "Mr. Fifth, I will never dare to go to the top."

Li Xuandu pretended to be serious and said, "Hey, what are you going to be a high-level person? Men should get married when they are old, and women should get married when they are old. This is how wealthy people will not flow to outsiders' fields."

Li Rushi smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly, obviously quite afraid of Lu Yanbing.

Of course, Li Xuandu knew what kind of temperament his junior sister had, and he didn't really want to match them up. He turned to him and said, "In a few days, the teams of Wangqing Sect and Butian Sect will arrive one after another, and I don't know how to do it in Qingping Garden. If you want to resettle it, you have to prepare early. In addition, Tianle Sect has arrived long ago, but it has not entered the city rashly, and is now outside the city."

Li Rushi thought for a while and said, "Now the inns in the city are full of customers. It is probably not easy to settle in Longmen Mansion. However, I bought a villa outside the city, close to Luoshui, and covers a large area. It is better to let friends from the five sects of Liaodong go there to settle down, so as to avoid any recurrence with the people in the righteous path in the city.”

Li Xuan did not agree rashly, but looked at Qin Su, who was the head of the five sects in Liaodong.

Qin Su pondered for a moment and said, "What should we do with those who have already entered the city? Should we withdraw?"

Li Xuandu said, "Let them stay in Qingping Garden. After all, they are your people. It will not look good if Miss Qin is alone. And we will not stay in Longmen Mansion for too long. This battle must be carried out step by step. If Longmen Mansion is the base camp, Beimang County is the first camp to enter Beimang Mountain. I think after gathering, we will go to Beimang County in a big way."

Qin Su asked again, "What about Jingchan Sect?"

Li Xuandu said, "We will know after the arrival of the Great Heavenly Master."

Qin Su nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Then Li Xuandu told Li Rushi about other things about Taiping Inn and asked, "How is the Wanxiang Academy?"

Li Rushi answered Said: "I went to see the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy, and heard what he said. Now the Wanxiang Academy is divided into three factions, headed by three Grand Masters. Some recognize and support the shopkeeper, some oppose, and most remain neutral. Scholars, they turn a deaf ear to the outside world and focus on reading the books of sages."

Li Xuandu smiled: "If all the scholars are like this, it will save trouble."

Li Rushi said: "The best result is to ask the shopkeeper to come in person and have a deep talk with the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy. After all, with the relationship between Prime Minister Zhang and General Qin, the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy is still easy to talk to."

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said: "I came here for this matter. The Confucian school has been powerful for many years and cannot be underestimated. It's good for us to be in the rivers and lakes. After all, we have always kept to ourselves. If you are involved in the government, you have to deal with Confucianists. "

Li Rushi said: "When the Golden Horde moved south, the descendant of the sage, Duke Yansheng, moved south and became the Southern School of Confucianism. However, Duke Yansheng's half-brother took the initiative to surrender to the Golden Horde and became the beginning of the Northern School. There were actually two Duke Yansheng in the world. The Duke Yansheng who surrendered to the Golden Horde also followed the Golden Horde army to fight against the Great Jin and died for the Golden Horde. Later, the Great Jin was destroyed, and the Northern School of Duke Yansheng became the orthodox. Later, every time there was a major change in the world, Duke Yansheng, who had received the grace of the country, never resisted desperately, but only changed his master again and again. Even the descendants of the sage are like this, which shows that Confucianists are also mixed. There are loyal and chaste people, but there are also servile villains. If you go in the future, The imperial capital, I don't know how many Confucianists will be involved. They form their own parties and factions, which are deeply rooted and intertwined. These people may not be good at resisting foreign enemies, but they are good at internal struggles. We must guard against this and make preparations early. "

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "What you said is true. Can we go to the Wanxiang Academy now?"

Li Rushi said: "The Wanxiang Academy is only open to the public on the 15th and 1st of each month, otherwise we can only visit them in person. I wonder if the shopkeeper has any acquaintances in the Wanxiang Academy? It's not good to visit the Sikong Dajiu directly. After all, not everyone can see the three Dajiu, unless the shopkeeper reveals his identity, but if it falls into the eyes of others, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. "

Qin Su suddenly said: "I have an old friend who is now in the Wanxiang Academy. "
