In the past few days, the city of Toyosu has been very chaotic, and every day officers and soldiers can be seen arresting people everywhere and passing through the streets, not only the officials of Toyosu are panicked, but even the people have been affected, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the streets than in the past.

"There were officers and soldiers who passed by just now, I don't know who was arrested again?"

"I heard that it was the county governor of the neighboring county, who was greedy for a lot of silver, and it seems that human lives were involved, and he deserved it, and the corrupt officials should end up like this......"

"Who knows these things, the eldest prince brought people to Fengzhou to make trouble this time, obviously it was aimed at the Third Highness, and it could be that they ......"

"Shhh, you dare to say this kind of thing, don't be afraid of losing your head!"

……

……

Miss Liu Er wanted to drink fish soup today, in order to pick fresh fish, Li Yi got up early and went to the vegetable market, carrying a fish in his hand, and when he walked through the street, he heard a lot of similar words along the way.

The situation of the royal family of Qi is completely different from that of Jingguo, the sons of Emperor Jingguo do not have a few finished weapons, and the Emperor of Qi is different, several princes, although they are not amazingly talented, but they also have their own talents, among which Zhao Yi, the third prince of Qi, is the most.

At a young age, he made many great things that were praised by the courtiers and emperors, and in more than ten years, he developed the barren Fengzhou into an important town in a country, surrounded by countless talents, and the prestige of the people was quite high......

Therefore, the third prince Zhao Yi has a high reputation in the hearts of the people of Qi, and many ministers in the court attach great importance to him, believing that he is the best candidate to inherit the unification in the future.

In some things, the Qi Kingdom is different from the Jing Kingdom and the surrounding countries.

Nominally, it is still the primogeniture inheritance system, but since the state of Qi, there are really not many sons who have inherited the throne.

Because the eldest son was incompetent, he was replaced by a more prominent prince, and such a thing often happened in the history of the Qi State.

Including the officials and people of Qi State, they have formed a kind of thinking of "you can do it, if you can't, there will be others", not to mention that he is only the eldest son for the time being, even if he has become the crown prince, he has not reached the last moment of the first emperor's breath, and his hanging heart cannot be put down.

Especially with a younger brother who is better than him in all aspects, and even more handsome than him in appearance, the pressure on the eldest prince of Qi must be very great.

That's why this time, he will work so hard and hard, in just a few days, this turmoil has spread from Fengzhou City, including the surrounding counties, and even has a tendency to spread to farther places.

Anyway, these surrounding states can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the three princes, and they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go......

Regarding the affairs of Qi State, Li Yi has learned a lot about them these days.

To some extent, this prince of Qi is also a poor person.

If he was born in Jingguo, he would not need to compete with so many people at all, the throne is simply a matter of lying down to win, safe and stable, as long as he does not have to die like the King of Shu, he will die from Kyoto to Shuzhou, and there is no suspense at all in inheriting the unification.

How good it is to stay in Beijing and enjoy the blessings, how can it be like now, running all over the country with a group of imperial historians, just to increase the weight of their own power, if you are not careful, it will have the opposite effect and offend a large number of people, why bother?

Li Yi sighed, picked up the fish and looked at it, it was still alive, if it died, the soup would not be fresh.

When he walked to the gate of Fang Lin Yuan, Lin Yong walked in from the outside, and when he saw him, he was stunned, and immediately walked up and said, "It's just right, Miss is looking for you to have something, come in with me." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yi stopped and asked.

Lin Yong pulled his arm and said, "The Ma family and the Xu family are here, it seems that they want to discuss something...... oops, oops, it's too late, let's talk about it." ”

Li Yi handed him the fish and said, "I'll go over by myself, you go and help me put this fish in the tank, and I'm going to use it to make soup at night, don't kill it." ”

Lin Yong nodded and said, "Okay, when is the evening, I'll go over after I'm done with the shop." ”

……

……

"Wanru, the previous incident is indeed our fault." The shopkeeper sat in his seat, turned his head to look at Lin Wanru, and said apologetically: "It's just that the market has changed recently, if we don't raise the price, we will lose, I hope you don't blame us." ”

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly intervened and said: "Yes, we have also cooperated for so many years, and when the Lin family was still in the hands of your grandfather, they purchased goods from us, and they couldn't hurt the harmony for a trivial matter, don't you say?" ”

Lin Wanru glanced at the two of them and asked, "You two might as well say it directly, what is the matter with coming here today?" ”

"We've figured it out about that shipment." The shopkeeper stood up, looked at her and said, "We still trade according to the price agreed before, how about it?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, according to the price discussed at the beginning, we thought about it after we went back, this matter is indeed our fault, many years of friendship, even if you lose a little money, you can't let you suffer." ”

Lin Wanru looked at the two of them, her expression was calm, but a hint of discoloration appeared in her eyes.

Before today, the Ma family and the Xu family had set the price, and they were unwilling to let go at all, so why did they change their temper immediately?

They were so anxious to sell that batch of goods to the Lin family, could it be that there was something wrong with that batch of goods?

"Let's go back first, I'll think about this matter later." Lin Wanru thought about it, looked at the two and said.

The faces of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper Xu changed slightly, what else is there to consider, tomorrow will be traded with those Fanbang merchants, this batch of important goods can't be sold, they won't be able to scrape together enough silver, when the time comes, that business that will make sure you don't lose money, isn't it going to be yellow?

The shopkeeper said in a hurried tone: "Wanru, what else is there to consider here, it is still according to the original price......"

"Miss Lin, what are you looking for me?" Li Yi stood at the door, looked at Lin Wanru and asked.

The shopkeeper's words were interrupted, and he looked over with discontented eyes.

Lin Wanru stood up and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

In the past, she was vigorous and resolute, and she would not be affected by outsiders when she did business, but I don't know when she began to care more and more about the opinions of the people in front of her.

Although the other party is only a scholar, when it comes to business matters, he always inspires her a lot, and time always proves that his ideas are right.

The shopkeeper looked at him and asked Lin Wanru tentatively: "Wanru, this is ......?"

"The Lin family's account room." Li Yi looked at him and spoke.

"Wait here for a moment." Lin Wanru said a word to the two of them first, and after nodding slightly to Li Yi, she turned around and walked into the inner room.

Li Yi followed slowly.

……

"The Ma family and the Xu family want to cooperate with the Lin family again?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.

"They said that those blanks were willing to trade at the price that had been negotiated before." Lin Wanru nodded and said, "Yesterday was not retreating at all, and today I am diligent and prepared, I don't know what I am thinking." ”

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Haven't you already bought a lot of things from the Fanbang merchants, and you can still eat those goods?" ”

"It's a bit of a struggle." Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "However, with those goods, the Lin family will no longer have to rely on these three within a few years, and it is also an opportunity." ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Then let's go out." ”

Seeing the two of them coming out, the shopkeeper Ma and the shopkeeper Xu immediately greeted them.

Shopkeeper Xu asked urgently: "Wanru, how are you thinking about it?" ”

Li Yi smiled, stepped forward, and said, "The Lin family and the Ma family and the Xu family have cooperated for so many years, do you still need to consider this kind of thing?" ”

The two looked at the young man in front of them, their expressions stunned.

When will it be the turn of an account office to call the shots in the affairs of the Lin family?

However, seeing that Lin Wanru on the side didn't make any moves, she seemed to realize something, and the shopkeeper said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, we'll ...... the price."

"The price is not an issue, as long as it is cheap." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Sit down and say, sit down and say." ”
