Chapter 648: Benefiting the People
Mao Bijiang was received by Li Zicheng four days later.
Even, Li Zicheng did not take the shelf of the emperor of Dashun State, and he arrived in the afternoon, and that night, he became Li Zicheng's honored guest.
And since Mao Bijiang entered the area controlled by the Dashun Kingdom, it has been a green light all the way, the cavalry has opened the way, and everyone and everything has to give way.
It also made Mao Bijiang truly understand what is the treatment of 'P in VIP'.
The dinner was also of a very high standard.
In addition to Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong and others who led the army outside, Song Xiance, a think tank and military division, Niu Jinxing, who led all the affairs of the household department, Liu Zongmin, Bo Hou Li Guo and other cores of the Great Shun Kingdom were all present to accompany them.
And even these fierce Dashun army bosses are more careful than one when they speak, and they change their ways to please him, for fear of provoking him somewhere.
Mao Bijiang was a little surprised.
At this time, he was only the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Haicheng Morning Post", and he was not even a 'member' of the Political Affairs Bureau, and he was not really the core authority of Haicheng...... That's not all......
A dinner party can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts, and it is also guaranteed that within half a month, 300,000 taels of grain and grass will be pushed into orbit and formed as soon as possible.
In the big tent, Song Xiance and everyone retreated with interest, and Li Zicheng personally filled Mao Bijiang with tea, and said with a smile: "Lord Mao, you have come from afar, and there is nothing to entertain you here, please Haihanna." However, the mother-in-law of the forehead rice fat is still very good......"
As he spoke, Li Zicheng smiled and winked at Mao Bijiang.
How can he not understand Li Zicheng's thoughts? I suddenly smiled bitterly in my heart.
This person, whether it is heaven or earth, or pig and dog, it is really just a thought!
If he hadn't made the most appropriate choice at that time and endured the pain of parting his love, how could he be in today's situation where the lord of a country is so humble to him?
But he didn't dare to float.
Along the way, he knew the preciousness of opportunity, and everything he could have at this time was built on the support of that unspeakable man.
If he didn't have his support, even if he didn't worry about leaving home, how could he occupy the righteousness like this time and walk on the bright avenue justifiably?
"Emperor, your love, the minister is really grateful."
Mao Bijiang bowed deeply to Li Zicheng, but the words quickly changed: "However, Emperor, there is one thing, I need to discuss it with you in detail on the orders of Haichenghou. ”
"Huh?"
Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Lord Mao, please speak." ”
He knew that Xu Changqing was by no means so kind, even if he really started from the overall situation, he would definitely have other requirements.
Li Zicheng also knows Xu Changqing very well at this time, like Xu Changqing, it is not an exaggeration to pluck the goose, how can he be untargeted?
Seeing that Li Zicheng was prepared, and his majestic momentum was released, he couldn't help but ooze cold sweat in his heart after venturing into the frontier, and his heart was secretly speechless.
This kind of game and tacit understanding between the heroes, at his level at this time, if he is not careful, the bones and scum may not be found.
OK.
He doesn't have two hearts.
Busy respectfully said: "Emperor, that's the case, what my lord means...... In other days, if there is a change in Shanxi and Datong, can the emperor open an opening for Dingbeibo and others at the border of Dashun and allow them to pass by. Of course, the minister can guarantee here that Dingbei Bo and the others will never enter the hinterland of the Great Shun Kingdom, at most they will only borrow the road at the border. Moreover, the toll that should be due will be no less......"
After Mao Bijiang finished speaking in one breath, he relaxed a little and carefully looked at Li Zicheng's face.
Li Zicheng did not rush to express his position for a while, but fell into deep thought.
Really!
Sure enough, that!
Xu Changqing, this guy, has a good calculation!
At this time, the Qing army had occupied most of Shanxi, and Datong had also infiltrated a lot.
Even, Li Zicheng has already received information that Wang Pu and his family have already begun to transfer.
Even though Gao Di, Wang Yongji and others still have some forces near Datong, the king of Gu has become a waste that his grandmother doesn't love and his uncle doesn't love, and the people on both sides fall apart, only in the blink of an eye!
According to Wang Pu's shrewdness, even if there will be a big loss of strength, the core problem of preservation is not big.
In this way, Xu Changqing's power will definitely increase greatly.
But refusing to do this is not the way to go......
Even he had to admit that Xu Changqing was really far-sighted, and he was a righteous cloud!
Even he couldn't do that......
Seeing that Li Zicheng fell into silence, he was not in a hurry.
This kind of thing, the focus is not on the here and now, but on something more distant and grander, if Li Zicheng agrees, many things will become clear at once, if he does not agree, there will be many things that will become clear in an instant.
Mao Bijiang was also a little amazed at this time, Xu Changqing's vision, heart, and means, he really couldn't beat the horse in case.
"Whew."
After a long time, Li Zicheng sighed deeply, his eyes returned to blazing, and he looked at Mao Bijiang's eyes and said, "Lord Mao, this matter is okay." It's just that I hope that if he meets such a day in the future, you can also let go of your Haicheng! ”
Mao Bijiang was relieved, and hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Emperor, don't worry, the minister will notify the lord of this matter overnight!" ”
……
The news of the expedition was returned to Haicheng the next evening.
The study room in the official hall.
Xu Changqing looked at the handwritten letter from Mao Bijiang, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but set off a curved arc.
Li Zicheng is a person who understands after all.
In fact, in the current state, Wang Pu never borrowed the Tao from Guanzhong, the problem is not too big, no wonder it is that the family members can be brought out together by the Tao, and if they don't borrow the Tao, the family members can only live incognito.
But Li Zicheng borrowed this way, not only Xu Changqing owes him this favor, but Wang Pu and others also owe him this great favor.
After all, who wants to be separated from their family if they can not be separated from their family?
Especially in the chaotic environment at this time, once separated, it is very likely to be a lifetime thing.
Li Zicheng has sold this well, and it looks like he is suffering a loss for the time being, but in the long run, this is definitely a big advantage.
In the future, if you drive away the Tartars, if you really want to fight a decisive battle in Mingshun, I'm afraid that Wang Pu and they will have to avoid suspicion.
But this is what Xu Changqing wants.
Favors.
If you don't have contact, you don't owe affection, how can you get back and forth?
At this time, Xu Changqing is trying to catch it, as long as he eases the chaos of this year, next year, the affairs of Haicheng and Daming will really operate, and the governance of Dashun will surely become the next target of Haicheng's 'consortium'.
And at this time, with the support of these 300,000 taels of grain and grass, even if you can't let Dashun Kingdom return to full blood, at least you can return part of it, and if the Qing army wants to suppress Dashun Kingdom, it will have to be weighed carefully.
"What's so happy that your mouth is laughing behind your ears?"
While thinking about it, Li Youwei came over and brought Xu Changqing a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Xu Changqing is actually not very interested in this kind of small dessert that is called 'raising people', but there is no way, his wife likes it, can you still refuse?
As long as you don't say, 'Dalang, it's time to drink medicine,' be content."
Xu Changqing smiled and drank a few mouthfuls of lotus seed soup, not to mention, it tasted good, and then drank it cleanly, took Li Youwei in his arms and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Lao Li of Da Shunguo wants to invite me to drink, whether to go or not, I'm still hesitating." ”
“……”
Li Youwei was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Changqing with coquettishness: "Talking about people." ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I have made a small deal with our Brother Li, and there is a way out in Shanxi." ”
In a flash, the husband and wife have been several years, Li Youwei already knew Xu Changqing very well, and soon understood what Xu Changqing meant, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "Xu Lang, over there, can you really not hold it?" But, the king of the valley ......"
Xu Changqing smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "This kind of thing, it's like it's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, and it's not to blame us." If the king of the valley is sensible, then there is still a way, if he is not sensible, then ~~, we can't help it! ”
"This ......"
Li Youwei was speechless for a while.
Rao had already expected this kind of result, but when she heard Xu Changqing say it to her face, she still didn't feel very comfortable in her heart.
After all, behind the scenery, there are often cliffs, and it is good that things leave room for relaxation, if there is no room, then, in case something happens......
Xu Changqing understood Li Youwei's worries, and couldn't help but smile and put his forehead on her forehead, "Youwei, don't worry." I know it. By the way, how was business during this time? ”
Seeing that Xu Changqing easily diverted the topic, Li Youwei couldn't help but glance at Xu Changqing with some resentment.
But she also understood that Xu Changqing didn't let her worry about these things for her own good, after all, she couldn't afford this kind of thing.
Busy talking to Xu Changqing about business.
At this time, with the stabilization of the situation in Shandong, the residual strength accumulated by Haicheng over the years also began to gradually erupt.
The first to bear the brunt is canned whale meat.
Because of the endorsement of many beauties in the Oiran Competition, it has successfully opened up sales channels and began to develop rapidly.
The main thing is that whale meat is sold cheaply.
A jar is almost thirty catties smaller, and it has been cooked, and it can be eaten when it is opened, so it is sold for one or two silver, not to mention pork, much cheaper than chicken and duck meat.
The key is that Li Youwei is backed by Haicheng Hotel, and has long gathered many famous chefs, and they continue to collaborate to improve the whale meat cooked, which is even better than pork.
This took the lead in opening up the local market in Haicheng.
After all, even if Haicheng is an ordinary female worker, she can buy such a large jar of whale meat after working hard for more than a month.
The canned food is easy to preserve, and it is enough for a family to eat for two or three months.
And the military is a big purchaser.
In the past, the model soldier could only have one two or three taels of fish meat per meal, but at this time, the appearance of canned whale meat directly added two or three taels of whale meat, who can not be happy?
And the military's procurement has always been a weather vane in Haicheng and even in the whole of Shandong.
This is the same as the celebrity endorsement of later generations.
At this time, the model army is definitely the star of the first star.
Even the grandfathers of the model army eat this thing, and it's not too expensive, why can't we buy a jar and taste it?
In particular, those local squires, in order to boost the morale of the army, wanted to keep up with the model army, and the snowball effect started.
Listening to Li Youwei's explanation, Xu Changqing was also a little speechless.
I thought it would take a lot of work to accept this thing, but now it'......
If it is placed in the future life, it will definitely lose its pants if it is so cheap, but at this time, even if all other costs are removed, a jar of whale meat, Li Youwei and her sisters can still have nearly forty percent of the net profit......
No way.
Labor is too cheap......
Speaking of this, Li Youwei also became excited: "Xu Lang, if this situation continues to develop, our side, whale meat alone, can increase the net income of at least 100,000 taels per year." And whale oil and other things haven't started to spread yet, and once they do, they can at least double it again. ”
Xu Changqing nodded slowly.
The reason why whale meat is so cheap is that Xu Changqing wants to 'benefit the people'!
In later generations, a Japanese expert said, 'Japanese people grew up eating whale meat.' ’
At that time, the height of Japanese men was only about 1.5 meters, or even 1.4 meters, but a few years later, they were almost taller than those of China.
At this time, even if Xu Changqing could not fully benefit the general public, he had already begun to lay the cornerstone within the scope of his ability.
After talking about whale meat, Li Youwei was just about to report other business to Xu Changqing, when outside, a report from the soldiers suddenly came: "Marshal, Fan Ziyu and Fan Gongzi ask to see you!" He seems to be in a hurry, as if something is wrong! ”
