Chapter 2461 Gui Zijuan sword, gallbladder and heart, extremely ambitious
"Exactly." Li Qi nodded lightly, "There is no doubt that it was those three people who arranged for Yuanyang to come. The reason may be several aspects. It may be that Feng Lang has been in Jiangnan for too long and needs someone to take care of him. It may also be that he needs someone to take care of him. We have to be on guard against anyone taking advantage of the situation, and we don't rule out hearing something, but there are also things to be careful about when sending a mandarin duck."
Li Coco felt that she still underestimated her sister. At least this analysis was very reasonable. "Well, it's important. I'm afraid it's impossible for the three of them to send their own maids. Only the mandarin ducks can be accepted by everyone, right?"
"Absolutely." Li Qi pursed his lips and smiled, "But they should have ignored that Yuanyang does not belong to any house. Since it is impossible to stand on the opponent's side, it is also impossible to stand on their own side, so it is most likely that Yuanyang is We need to consider Feng Lang’s feelings.”
"So what you mean is to strengthen or point out this point. Although we have no choice, we have also helped Feng Lang a lot in Jiangnan. We have helped Feng Lang provide and analyze some situations in Jiangnan. ,…”
Li Min felt that Li Qi was really a bit quick-witted and used this kind of rhetoric to deal with mandarin ducks.
Originally, it should be said that this is Zhen Baochen who has done the most in this area. In fact, the two sisters have not done much in this area. At most, they just talk about it in casual conversations. But for Yuanyang, they can be vague and Yuanyang does not. You may ask Feng Lang, but even if you ask Feng Lang, Feng Lang will help cover it up.
Li Qi sighed softly, "That's all we can do. Sister Wan and Yuanyang seem to have a very normal relationship. I don't think they can help us much. If we can arouse Yuanyang's sympathy for our fate, and we can also help Feng Lang has more familiarity with the situation in Jiangnan. Maybe Yuanyang will be willing to help us soothe our cheeks after he returns..."
Li Min raised her head and thought for a while, "My sister's suggestion is feasible, but I don't think we need to be too groveling. When we enter the Feng Mansion, we are also concubines. We will meet Yuanyang in the future. Yuanyang may be familiar with the second and third bedrooms. Some, but Yuanyang may not be familiar with the Changfang side, and Yuanyang may not be able to subdue Qingwen's girl's temper. When we entered the Changfang, at least she had someone more familiar with whom she could communicate, and we also had some things to talk about. Being able to help and speak up, she was entrusted with an important task by Feng Lang. She must also hope to make the house run smoothly, so she needs people in each room to support her in her work. This should be a win-win situation. .”
Li Qi was affected by Li Wei's confident tone, and she nodded in agreement with her sister. As she was talking, she heard a little girl outside panting and running in to report that a Yuanyang girl and a Yuchaier girl had come to visit the two grandmothers.
Li Min and Li Qi looked at each other, with some surprise and uneasiness in their eyes. The mandarin ducks came so quickly. They obviously came to their side first and not to the two daughters of the Zhen family. This was a good sign.
“Invite them in quickly.” Li Min said quickly.
Seeing the two daughters Li Min and Li Qi, Yuanyang's heart sank slightly.
Just looking at the two women’s facial expressions and clothes, one can tell that the two women have lost their virginity and are no longer virgins, but women.
Originally, this is reasonable. How can the uncle endure it with his temperament?
But Yuanyang felt that since sisters Li Min and Li Qi were also from a scholarly family, they should be more reserved and polite. Even if the uncle wanted to help them take them as concubines, they could wait a little until they returned to the capital city to be decent. Wouldn't it be good to carry it into Feng's house?
What do the three grandmas in the capital think of such a hasty and hasty accomplishment of something good in a borrowed house in Nanjing?
Anyway, I have to lift it into the house. I am afraid that I will not be treated, and I am not better than myself. They are girls, and they are the room.
Just seeing the surprise and uneasiness on the two girls' faces when they saw him, Yuanyang felt weak in his heart. It was not easy. The Li family was all like this. Maybe they were helpless and had their own reasons for it.
“Yuanyang has met my two aunts…”
Yuanyang still abided by the rules and received a blessing. Although Kodama Chuaier was reluctant, seeing that Yuanyang had done this, he could only follow the blessing.
Li Min and Li Qi had already rushed up quickly, one holding up the mandarin duck and the other holding up the jade bracelet.
Li Min's eyes were red, and she took Yuanyang's arm: "Sister Yuanyang, this is impossible, and we can't afford it,..."
Li Min and Li Qi quickly shook their heads: "My husband may have good intentions, but we sisters are not people who don't understand rules and etiquette. There are some situations that Sister Yuanyang may not be aware of..."
Yuanyang quickly stopped her words: "Aunt Wen and Aunt Qi must not shout like this. Just call me Yuanyang. If you shout like this again, I won't be able to bear it. The uncle has official business at the moment, and I came here to see you." Fortunately, the two aunts and grandmothers were all familiar with each other before, which saved a lot of embarrassment..."
Li Min and Li Qi were relieved when they saw Yuanyang speak frankly and naturally, especially when Li Min took Yuanyang's hand and sat down on the spring bench in the room, and then started talking to Yuanyang in a soft voice. , Li Qi was also talking to Yu Chuan'er over there. Although they were not familiar with each other, Li Qi's weak appearance endeared her to Yu Chuan'er.
Li Min's eloquence is of course not to mention. He told everything about the situation of the Li family and the original situation of his uncle Li Shouzhong. He even did not deny the role that Jia Hua played in it at that time. For a while, Yuanyang didn't know how to evaluate it.
Blame Li Min and Li Qi? Is it wrong for someone to use the innocent daughter of a scholarly family to fight for the entire Li family?
Blame Jiahua? We have always been friends with each other, but we are not willing to help even if we ask for help? If this kind of thing doesn't happen to you, who would know the difficulties here?
Strange uncle? That's even less to say. After being drunk and with the two women volunteering themselves, what can be said?
It seems that no one can blame anyone. From Yuanyang's point of view, Li Min and Li Qi are really affectionate, righteous and responsible in doing this. If Li Shouzhong falls, the Li family will be completely ruined, and neither of them will end well. By taking such a risk, he not only fulfilled his filial piety for his uncle, but also found a way out for himself.
Yuanyang is a chivalrous person who is brave and courageous, and she particularly admires such kind and kind actions, so Li Min's words really touched her.
"Aunt Wen, this is fate. Fortunately, you have me, so the outcome will not be bad." Yuanyang also comforted Li Wen, who had red eyes, "As for Aunt Wen, who is worried about the attitude of the three grandmothers after returning to Beijing, I feel that It’s just that I am too anxious. Normally, the three grandma would not object to my decision. This matter is excusable. All three grandma can understand it. The second grandma Bao and the third grandma Lin have always known the two of them. My aunt will definitely not embarrass the two aunts..."
Li Min can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After impressing the mandarin ducks, the matter is half done...
Feng Ziying was a little uneasy when he went to see Bi Ziyan at Guo Zhengyu's place, but he quickly focused on business.
Bi Ziyan is indeed a master of financial planning. He is full of praise for Feng Ziying's concept of joint-stock enterprises and stock exchanges, and his understanding is deeper than that of Guo Zhengyu.
He particularly agreed with Feng Ziying's proposal to raise private capital in such a way to promote the development of industry, commerce, overseas colonization and maritime trade. At the same time, he also agreed with Feng Ziying's idea that industrial and commercial taxes would account for an increasing proportion of the court's taxes. .
The three people also basically agreed that in addition to Wusongkou Shipyard as the first pilot joint-stock listed company, they should also try their best to facilitate two to three companies to conduct pilot projects in order to attract more people to participate in the transaction.
In addition to the Zhou family's confiscated shipping company, which can be built into a water transportation enterprise that can always cross the Yangtze River and canals, Feng Ziying also proposed that the Ding family's tea mountains, tea factories and tea houses can be integrated into a one-stop tea-making enterprise. Carry out joint-stock reform and listing.
In addition, Feng Ziying is also preparing to let Xue Biao's shipping fleet cooperate with Anfu merchants, and Duan Xigui has already set up a business in Sulu and Bo Ni, to form a company to colonize Southeast Asia, similar to the Dutch East India Company, and is ready to officially start promoting the already established It has quietly promoted the pace of penetrating into Nanyang for several years, and now it is time to take advantage of this opportunity to list Nanyang Company, openly raise funds and purchase shares, and advance into Nanyang.
Feng Ziying really couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't wait any longer.
For every extra day, the Francois, the Dutch, and the English will increase their power in Nanyang, and the Zhou Dynasty, which originally had many starting advantages, will gradually become a latecomer. It would be more and more difficult for Da Zhou to reach in and take a piece of the pie, so he would add the colonization of Nanyang to the list and take this opportunity to promote his march into Nanyang.
As for the shipping company and the tea factory, Guo Zhengyu and Bi Ziyan had no objections. They just had to follow the existing procedures. However, they were a little confused about the so-called Nanyang Colonization Company.
"Ziying, colonizing Nanyang is not about sea trade, so what are we going to do? You talked a lot, and Meiming and I didn't understand. What exactly needs to be done to colonize Nanyang and how to ensure benefits? You only talked about the Xue family’s merchant ships, the Anfu merchants’ pioneering experience, and the Duan family’s intelligence collection and business base construction in Nanyang in recent years, but how can these be put together to become a colonization company? What is the industry and how to make money? ?”
Bi Ziyan hit the nail on the head.
Feng Ziying knew that she couldn't hide it from Bi Ziyan, so she had no intention of hiding it. She thought for a while and then said: "Brother Jing Hui, it's a long story. I'll just clarify one point first. The profit comes from the rich products of Nanyang, gold and silver from Luzon, Bohai The tin, spices and big wood on the mud side are the same, including rice, on the old port side, and there are many Han people in Nanyang, so the foundation is very good..."
