Lu Zhenfei was a little unimpressed with these things in his heart, he felt that Taoguang Yanghui didn't say much and did more, according to the current situation, there is no danger for these people here, but at this time, doing some business is indeed a way to avoid trouble, and it can also make real profits, and it can also put an end to floating discussions...... With the identities of Qian Qianyi and Ma Shiying and their image in Shilin, once people know about the businessman, there will inevitably be some criticism. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Ma Shiying's reputation was still good, he was not a party or a faction, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting were good......

Otherwise, he would not have anything to do with Qian Qianyi.

Although it is not as good as Wu Mo and Wen Mengzhen, it is closely related to Qian Qianyi, but the friendship is not bad.

I am afraid that the two of them could not imagine that twenty years later, the two would turn their faces into enemies because of the support of King Fu, and it directly affected the stability of the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"Please see Brother Bai, the main thing is to ask about He Yusheng." Qian Qianyi turned to Lu Zhenfei and said, "I heard that Brother Bai went all the way south in the Northland, inspected the semicolons of Hutchison in Jingshi and various places, and should have a fairly clear judgment on its true strength, and I also hope to see Brother Bai's advice." ”

Only then did Lu Zhenfei know that it turned out that the leader of the clear stream was talking about the business when he saw him today.

Fortunately, Lu Zhenfei is not stubborn, he is a generalist, understands military affairs, understands government affairs, understands people's hearts, and has both a stubborn and persistent side, as well as an open-minded side.

Ma Shiying asked, "How much does a tiger skin cost?" ”

"It's hard to say." Lu Zhenfei said: "It takes hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver." ”

"Is it so expensive?" Ma Shiying was a little surprised and said: "In our Guizhou, tiger skins are worth a hundred taels of silver at most. Skin and bones are much more expensive. ”

"Tiger bones are worth everywhere." Lu Zhenfei said with a smile: "Tiger skins are expensive because there are almost no tigers in Jiangnan and the north now, only in the extreme north of Liaodong, there are still many tigers left, and this kind of tiger is huge, nearly twice as big as the tiger in Guizhou in Yunnan, so the price of tiger skin is also much higher." ”

"I see." Ma Shiying nodded and said: "Tiger bones don't need to be about size, the bigger the skin, the better." Bear skins in Liaodong are also extremely expensive. ”

"Yes."

"In this way, those leather goods are worth thousands of silver, Gu Zifang is really generous."

"I'm afraid not really." Qian Qianyi commented with a smile: "Hutchison entered the Southern Capital and became a sensation. Not only these expensive leather goods, but also the best wild ginseng, are very good wild ginseng, I have abundant products in the south of the Yangtze River, but leather goods, ginseng, Dongzhu, these things are not self-produced, not only the goods are scarce and expensive, the goods are indeed rare and high-quality, like these leather goods, even in Beijing is difficult to buy......

Ma Shiying suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It seems that Gu Zifang saw that this is a good thing, whether it is given away or resold after buying, there will definitely be a profit or no loss." ”

"Exactly." Qian Qianyi said: "To be honest, I'm in the way of my identity, otherwise I would have to ask for one." Just by hearing about it, I knew it wasn't ordinary. ”

Lu Zhenfei listened to their chat, and already understood in his heart that these people in front of him were afraid of what business they wanted to do, and they were currently planning to cooperate with He Yusheng, but they still had some concerns about whether Hutchison had real strength, and on the Jingshi side, Qian Qianyi's identity back then was afraid that it was impossible to go to the field to see Hutchison's semicolon, and Lu Zhenfei had already inspected Hutchison and wrote a few letters mentioning this matter, so today's banquet can be regarded as listening to him talk about it in person.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, Mr. Yaocao," Lu Zhenfei said: "There is no doubt about the strength of Hutchison, from Datong to Jingshi, and then to Shandong, Henan, there are dozens of semicolons, which one is not small, of course the southern capital is very large, but it is not much different compared to Jingshi, and the really big one is in Xinpingbao and Lizhuang, and its foundation is more in Qingcheng and the grassland, from the perspective of leather goods and ginseng, Liaodong must also have a layout, and Yusheng and Zhang Han, amazing." What's more important is what we see today, keeping promises can be done by ordinary merchants, but that is to win the source of goods, it has to be, the so-called big store bullying customers, it means that a big store like Hutchison can do things without promises and faithfulness, and there is a lot to be made. As you can see today, you don't have to worry about this layer, so if you really have any business dealings, you can still rest assured that you can cooperate with Hutchison. ”

After Lu Zhenfei finished speaking, several people present were relieved.

Qian Qianyi and Ma Shiying didn't talk about these mundane things at first, and specially talked with Lu Zhenfei about the officialdom of the Beijing division and the things to pay attention to in the examination.

For a person who is going to take the exam next year, these things are experiences that can't be bought with money, not real friends, and people who give money won't say it in such detail.

Lu Zhenfei understands very well that this is also a reward for his performance today, so he also accepts it calmly, asks as clearly as possible about the ambiguity in their words, and must get a satisfactory reply.

This wine, since noon, has been eaten for more than two hours, during which a table of dishes has been changed, re-warmed, and the brazier has been changed, so everyone is also tired of sitting, and when Jin Wuxi sinks, Lu Zhenfei shook his head and said: "Today's events, I will never forget it in my later life." ”

When he said words of gratitude, Lu Zhenfei somehow felt a little angry and sad in his heart...... At a time when there were strong enemies on the side of such a turbulent party struggle, the scholars either went to compete for leather goods, or they were thinking about asking for land and asking for help, or they would try scientific examinations, and there were many operations that had nothing to do with the actual level, which was really sad to think about.

Fortunately, Lu Zhenfei has an open-minded personality and is quite changeable, if he has his own ideas that he wants to spread, then it is best to adapt to the current situation first, enter a high position first, and then talk about change......

"It doesn't have to be this way." Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and smiled: "Next year, we will be successful, we are waiting for your good news." ”

After dispersing from the restaurant, Ma Shiying proposed to go to his mansion to talk in detail.

Qian Qianyi has no objection, Ma Shiying has been an official in Nanjing for several years, of course, he has prepared a mansion to live in, the Ma family is also a family in Guizhou, the family is quite wealthy, Qian Qianyi has been to the Ma house, the yard is large, there are many rooms, the layout is very exquisite, Ma Shiying is very strict, the slaves at home are very well trained, and there is no need to be afraid of leaking the news.

Twenty years later, Ma Shiying from the position of the governor of Fengyang brazenly entered Beijing, the first step to support the King of Fu, in addition to the support of the four towns in Jiangbei, mainly because he himself has quite a strong confidence, his Guizhou soldiers, that is, the Mafu family Ding has a large number, and quite elite dare to fight, is relying on Ma Shiying's own training and brought out of the Guizhou soldiers, Ma Shiying quickly grasped the situation in Nanjing, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne, Hongguang Dynasty gongs and drums sounded in unison, and reopened under the leadership of Ma Shiying.

Today, the two discussed secret matters together, and it is estimated that they would never imagine that there would be a day when they would fight each other in 20 years.

But with the existence of Hutchison, will there be that absurd drama twenty years later?

After entering the study, the two sat down, Ma Shiying and other servants served tea, and introduced: "This is the tip of our Guizhou Duyun, people in despicable places love to drink this, what Ji'an tea, Fujian Dahongpao, Pu'er tea, but they are not used to drinking." ”

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he first smelled the fragrance of the tea, then looked at the color of the tea, and then tasted it gently.

This attitude made Ma Shiying quite satisfied!

Qian Muzhai is really a very interesting person, even if it is such a small thing in front of him, he can do it without leakage, not only to please people, but also to be light and light, without the slightest fireworks, unlike some people who are too clumsy, not only will not make people happy, but it will make people disgusted.

Of course, Qian Qianyi doesn't need to pat Ma Shiying's ass, this is just a habit of old Qian...... Even if it is just a common person, as long as it is such an environment, Qian Qianyi will do similar things, but his posture will be different.

"Yaocao," Qian Qianyi put down the bowl and said, "I heard that you intend to seek release?" ”

"Nope." Ma Shiying said: "Originally, I was going to take up the place. I have been a ministry officer in Nanjing for many years, and my experience in the ministry is enough. My name is only at the end of the second grade, and I have never entered the Hanlin Academy, and I have no hope of entering the cabinet in this life. This party struggle has not affected the southern capital, I plan to entrust someone to let me go to Zhejiang to be the prefect, so that after a few terms of training, I will be prepared for the army, and then serve as the governor, the qualifications are enough, in terms of connections, there are Mu Zhai Gong and other predecessors to help, presumably it will not be too difficult at that time. It's just that if we make up our minds to cooperate with Hutchison, seek overseas profits, and release the matter, we can only postpone it later. ”

"It's not bad to postpone." Qian Qianyi said: "Now that it is released, the princes who can really help are too busy to take care of themselves, and they may have to go outside for many years, so why bother?" Langzhong's position is already a five-pin, and it is already a humiliation to be a fourth-grade prefect in the future, and if he can be transferred to the army for several more terms, I honestly don't think it's worth it. ”

"Wasn't there nothing to be done before?" Ma Shiying said quite honestly: "There is also a little bit of avoidance." At this moment, going to Fujian and Zhejiang to be a magistrate is much more insured than being a Beijing official in the ministry. Here in the southern capital, the trend will come sooner or later! ”

"I don't know." Qian Qianyi said: "Yang Dahong, their intentions are good, and their style is also excellent, but I still don't take their actions for granted when I mention them in private." Meng Lang is serious, resolute in his actions, and the good situation is what he is today, which is really speechless. After a while, I left the southern capital and went back to Wuxi, and the countryside did not ask about world affairs, only talked about literature and only talked about Fengyue. ”

Ma Shiying joked: "Of course, you have to find a good old master and design and build a villa." ”

"I've already found someone, the cost is too high, it is expected to cost 20,000 silver, and I dare not use it for a while, so I delayed it."

"Then, we should hurry up the trade business, not in vain, as long as it is profitable."

"Good!"

Qian Qianyi made up his mind at this moment, and so did Ma Shiying.
