Hearing this, how many other people in the Yi family were good with each other before? Yi Zhishu naturally wanted to find out, so as not to hit the thunder in the future, so he said with a smile at the moment: "Who are you going to see?" ”

Yan Shikuan said with a smile: "This doesn't depend on the meaning of the third brother, whoever you want to see, let's go and see whomever you want." ”

At this time, and you can see it if you want to, most of them are Qinglou women, women from serious and good families are easy to see, let alone if you want to see it, Yi Zhizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, didn't want to and didn't dare to pull along this topic, took out the folding fan, took a square step, and shook the fan and said: "Today is different from the past, the third brother and I are now changing my mind, the prodigal son turned back, and he only wanted to get serious."

At present, we want to run a newspaper, build a new school, build a Tianbao watch factory, open a money bank, pile by pile, which is not a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and a great good thing for the birth of a Buddha in ten thousand families? ”

Yes, can the dog still change it, can't it eat? Yan Shikuan didn't dare to say this, but said tactfully: "How do you say that?" The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. ”

"Then let's ride a donkey and read the record book - we'll see." Yi Zhizhi said, and said in a very casual tone: "I'll give you another errand to investigate the smuggling of Hibiscus, the origin, variety, cost, price, profit, channel, etc., and by the way, understand the causes and consequences of the rise of Hibiscus smuggling and the amount of smuggling over the years." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan obviously hesitated, and said, "The third brother should also want to smuggle A Furong, right?" ”

"What do you think?" Yi Zhizu rolled his eyes and said, "Third brother, what do I use to smuggle A Furong?" This is to check and fill in the gaps for your old man, and when you are busy with this mess next year, you had better go to Nanyang or go to the United States for a round. ”

"Will the imperial court really ban smoking?" Yan Shikuan asked with concern.

Yi Zhishu glared at him, and said angrily: "Do you think the third brother is talking about playing?" When you send the information, the third brother will help you analyze it in detail, and you will know. ”

"Okay." Yan Shikuan simply responded, since the old man was going to smuggle A Furong, and he also had to draw up a perfect smuggling plan, he would inevitably have to deal with A Furong dealers at home and abroad, and understand all aspects of the situation, Yi Zhizhi was content that this errand was not so much handed over to him, but to the old man, he had no pressure at all.

Yi Zhishu nodded, shook the folding fan, and walked along, A Furong smuggling led to the loss of a huge amount of silver in the Qing Dynasty. After the war, the smuggling of Hibiscus became more and more intense, and at least 20 million taels of silver continued to flow out every year.

He remembered that the massive smuggling of Hibiscus continued until China itself began to grow Hibiscus in large quantities, a process that lasted for decades, and that the amount of silver lost by China was far higher than the war reparations.

Therefore, he wants to understand the details of Ah Furong in all aspects, and see if he can come up with any way to change the situation a little, and obtaining information from Ah Furong's smugglers is undoubtedly the most detailed and true, and it is also the fastest and most labor-saving, as Yan Qichang's businessman, and decided to smuggle Ah Furong to repay debts, it is easy to understand Ah Furong's situation.

Seeing that he was strolling all the way, it seemed that he had no purpose, Yan Shikuan was afraid of walking, so he had to remind: "Third brother, where are we going now?" ”

Where to go? Yi Zhizu stopped, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was just a little more, after thinking about it, he said: "It's still early now, I want to take the opportunity of Pan Shiming's invitation to invite everyone to gather together, there is no need to delay until tomorrow, now send people to inform the businessmen who have dealings with us on weekdays, and let them rush to Shuzhuqiao Restaurant immediately, just say that there is a big event in the Thirteen Lines, Wu Changqing, Pan Shiming and I will have a treat together, whether you come or not." ”

"Cheng, I'll send someone to inform you immediately." Yan Shikuan responded excitedly.

Shuzhu Bridge is located near the exit of Shuzhu Chung to the Pearl River on Henan Island, there are many restaurants by the river, not only Xiguan is also a famous place to eat seafood in Guangzhou City, because of the beautiful scenery around, many literati and scholars often feast here.

Pan Shiming chose this place to invite guests mainly for convenience, because this place is close to Pan's Garden and Wu's Garden, he took it for granted that Yi Zhizhi would not go back and forth, after seeing Wu Bingjian, he would inevitably come to the banquet after visiting or resting in Wu's Garden, and after taking a lunch break, he came to Shuzhuqiao Restaurant early.

After booking a private room, he was about to send someone to Wu's garden to inform him, when he heard the sound of the stairs, he looked up and saw Wu Changqing leisurely picking up the stairs, he got up and greeted a few steps, and there was no one behind Wu Changqing to see, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said: "Content, not with you?" ”

"He's back to Xiguan, and he'll come back later." Wu Changqing glanced at the second floor as he spoke, it was not a meal at this time, the entire second floor was empty, just right for talking, he came to see Pan Shiming in advance, just to talk to Pan Shiming.

The two sat down, Wu Changqing was not polite, and said directly: "Yi Zhizhi wants to entrust the matter of running the newspaper to Brother Zecheng, I don't know what Brother Zecheng wants?" ”

Hearing this, Pan Shiming was a little inexplicable, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Wu Changqing said with a smile: "Because the little brother and contentment are too busy." ”

"Can't get busy?" Pan Shiming chuckled: "Can you find a better excuse?" ”

"It's too busy." Wu Changqing sighed lightly as he spoke, and said: "Contentment wants to build a new school, what kind of new school, the scale is extraordinary, and it is necessary to build Tianbao Watch Factory, a large-scale watch workshop for assembly operations, and also to open a money bank, a kind of money bank that integrates money and ticket number business, these are all things that Grandpa nodded and agreed, and urged to open as soon as possible." ”

So many things at once? How did the old man Wu agree, this requires a lot of silver, Pan Shiming was surprised, and couldn't help urging: "Tell me quickly, how does contentment convince the old man?" ”

"How did Brother Zhizhi and Grandpa talk, the younger brother was not around at the time, I don't know." Wu Changqing said euphemistically, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's really that Yi Zhizhi said a lot of things that can't be revealed, Assam tea, the invasion of alien species, the ecological balance, and the imminent outbreak of war in Qingying, these are all things that can't be said to the outside world.

Pan Shiming is very familiar with him, naturally knows what kind of temperament he is, where can he believe that he was not next to him at the time, and immediately smiled: "I don't embarrass you for my brother, I choose what I can say, and my brother is also very interested in contentment." ”

Forced to be helpless, Wu Changqing had no choice but to smile and say: "That little brother can only tell Brother Zecheng some ...... piecemeal." ”

Although it was only a few bits and pieces of narration, Pan Shiming was still very emotional, and when Wu Changqing stopped, he said unabashedly: "From the matter of running a newspaper, I feel that contentment is not simple, but I didn't expect to underestimate him..." ”
