Li Yan finished the day's class and left the Zheng Mansion, feeling slightly uneasy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but as long as he thought of the Zheng family's little lady's admiration for him, Li Yan felt ten years younger all of a sudden, and couldn't help humming a song, walking all the way towards the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and the whole person felt floating in the clouds.

Originally, Li Yan just planned to make more friends with powerful people in order to prepare for the next Seoul trade fair. I never thought that being a Chinese teacher to foreigners, but being in such a situation, it was really a good life to make people sigh, and I felt proud of myself as a Han unprecedentedly.

In the past, I only felt that my Chinese civilization had a long history, was broad and profound, and I was proud from the bottom of my heart. But now, the benefits of a strong civilization are truly felt.

Halfway through this walk, when he was about to arrive in front of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Li Yan suddenly heard a shout on the side of the road.

Li ...... Dare to ask if it is Li Dongzhu? Li Yan, Li Dongzhu? A neatly dressed woman, wearing a short white dress and long skirt, bowed and said, "The slave family is Hong Qiniang at the foot of Seorak Mountain in Gangwon Province, and she once had a relationship with Li Dongzhu. Today, there is a special matter involving the lives of my mother and son, and I am willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to be a cow and a horse, and I only ask Li Dongzhu to save me! ”

"Your mother and son's lives? You...... Oh, I remember. You're the farmer of the cabbage chicken sauce. It's just that...... Well, this is not the place to speak. You come with me. "Li Yan had already set off with the caravan when Wu Sangui had not joined the expedition company, and he had also been to Gangwon Province, and he was the Ming merchant who had instructed Hong Qiniang.

Seeing Li Yanying, Hong Qiniang was overjoyed, and she didn't dare to disturb more, so she followed. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he took out the prepared silver ingot, immediately knelt on the ground, and told the matter of the Shenxing Temple in Seorak Mountain, and pleaded: "I don't ask Li Dongzhu to be the master, I only ask Li Dongzhu to be willing to arrange for me and my mother and son to escape from the sea of suffering and go to the blessed land of Daming." ”

Li Yan's brows furrowed sharply.

Since ancient times, merchants have been sitting on Jia, all for wealth. If you want to make money, it is naturally a peaceful way to make money, and it is rare to do such a fierce confrontation. In particular, local conflicts will offend the local snakes, and on the basis of not touching interests, it has always been possible to do less and do less, and not to touch if they can.

There is no doubt that Li Yan does not owe Hong Qiniang. I just bought a cabbage and chicken sauce that tasted good, and there was no arrears. On the contrary, only Hong Qiniang owes Li Yan a favor. If it weren't for Li Yan passing by, he said by the way that there are business opportunities in Seoul recently, and Hong Qiniang wouldn't even be able to take out a hundred taels of silver.

But......

There is an allusion in later generations that tells the story of the persecution of the Jews in Nashua in Germany.

In order to escape Nazi persecution, a Jewish family desperately needed to seek the help of powerful people. After careful consideration, it was two powerful people who finally had the strength to help them, but it was clear that fate had only one choice.

Two powerful men, one of whom is a timber merchant. The timber merchant was kind to the Jewish family, and even borrowed money from the Jewish family. The other was a banker who had been helped by the Jewish family and owed money to the Jewish family.

Eventually, the Jewish family split up and went for help.

As a result, the timber merchants were well protected by Jewish families who came to seek refuge. The banker, on the other hand, sold the Jews who had come to seek asylum.

Eventually, the Jews lamented that those who helped you would continue to help you, while those you helped might not be willing to help you.

Li Yan is undoubtedly the former.

Maybe it was to send the Buddha to the west, maybe it was the phrase "Daming blessed land" that touched Li Yan, maybe ...... It's just that Li Yan is a good person.

"I'll give you a jade pendant, you take this jade pendant and go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Yuanzhou to find someone from the expedition company, and I will order you to go down, hide you in the caravan, and follow the returning fleet to Shanghai. But...... But I don't need any of this money. For me, it's a gesture. For you, it's a twist of fate, going to a foreign land, and there are still many places where orphans and widows have to use silver. Stay, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. If you have any other questions, you can just hold the jade pendant and go to the colleagues of the expeditionary company. There is no need for me to tell you, Da Ming Erlang has always been a benevolent and kind-hearted person. "Let's say, Li Yan said good luck and entered the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Hong Qiniang held the silver that still had her body temperature in her hand, her eyes were ticking, and the boundless joy and emotion in her heart were opened.

……

Early the next morning, in the hall of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Wu Sangui laughed with him and sent away a North Korean official who had come to ventilate the news. Seeing that Li Yan was about to go out to be a tutor with a spring breeze on his face, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Li Yan, what have you done, are you still ignorant and ignorant?" ”

As soon as Wu Sangui said a word, he saw Li Yan standing still, turned around and looked at Wu Sangui in confusion, with a confused expression. As Wu Sangui's powerful assistant, one of the actual executive backbones of the expedition company's business in North Korea, Li Yan was deeply involved in the planning, contact with customers, contact distributors and even the rest of the Ming businessmen in the Seoul Fair. Making friends with North Korea's elites is only a small part of the work.

Such a large workload and such a complicated situation are enough to make Li Yan lose a punch. Only that spirit is still supporting, highlighting Li Yan's achievements in the past few days, watching the Seoul Trade Fair in a short period of time, he has seen the joyful achievements that are about to be held.

At this moment, seeing Wu Sangui's blame, Li Yan was at a loss, and his mind couldn't help but spin, and he couldn't help but say, "But what's wrong?" Did a few distinguished guests break the appointment and not come, or were the rest of the Ming merchants afraid of accidents? Chief......"

"What went wrong? Such a big thing, don't you tell me, poke out such a big basket, you are still at a loss? Wu Sangui grimaced, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said in a muffled voice.

When Li Yan heard this, he had a bitter face, frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he still had no choice but to guess a few questions in a row, but he never saw Li Yan nodding, so he had to

"Such a big basket, you poke it out and don't tell me, hmph, it's almost broken. The favor I pasted in, you can figure out how to work for me in the future. As for the losses...... The 5,000 yuan, I'll put it on first. After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he saw that Li Yan's face was getting whiter and paler, and he was about to hold back.

Li Yan said in a low voice: "It's all according to the words of the head...... Where I hurt the basket, how to punish it, I admit it. ”

"That's okay, what are you still doing in a daze, come with me to propose marriage, and see what you have done!" Wu Sangui saw that Li Yan was completely tricked, and couldn't hold back any longer, and said with a laugh: "Otherwise, it was in vain that I wasted my favor and invited Master Gao Mingheng to come forward to propose marriage to you!" The bride price of 5,000 taels of silver is not cheap! ”

"Ahh Yes! Yes! Li Yan looked stunned.
