Chapter 238: The Autumn of the Thirty-five Years of Chengzhi

Mr. Li of Hami is a very luxurious person. He dare not say that he makes money every day in the past two years, but he can also be regarded as making money like flowing water.

On this day, Mr. Li's only son got married.

All the wealthy families in Hami come to congratulate you. After a day of fun, the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber drunk.

Mr. Li personally saw off most of the guests and left behind a dozen friends to have a drink.

He is not fat, but his face is full of flesh. After sending the guests, he smiled and his cheeks trembled. It was early autumn, and Mr. Li was so hot that his sweat beads fell down his chin along his nasolabial folds.

Several officials and staff laughed and said, "Ahhhh, let's get married, are you, old guy, who is also going to make a good idea for re-string?"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Where is the time? In the past two years, it is the most busy time for our Hami businessmen."

A official complimented: "Mr. Li is very busy but his money is running home."

Someone even sighed: "It took only two and a half years for self-government. Unexpectedly, our Hami not only did not be attacked by the Tartars, but became a good place that became famous all over the world, including Hami salt, Hami glass, and Hami septic tanks..."

"I said to Lao Sun, do you sincerely want us to eat Mr. Li's wine?" several people cursed.

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Where is there, I just sigh."

Mr. Li washed his hands and sat down before saying, "It was unexpected that "in 32 years of Chengzhi, Hami was as jealous as a thirty-two years. In just two years, Hami salt has spread all over the world, and even the Tartars obediently came to the door and bought it with a shame. However, Xiaoguan Wei has not seen him for more than two years. We want to thank him, but we can't even touch his personal figure, and we don't know what we are busy with."

A strange man smiled and said, "Miss Feng is more beautiful than Hua..."

"Shut up!" Several people scolded each other, and Mr. Li scolded, "You have only been to Hami for a year, and you must understand some rules. Remember, there must be something in your mouth, otherwise, Hami people will tear you."

The official apologized in awkwardly: "I can't hold on to my mouth after drinking."

Can he afford the famous Madam Feng?

A few people ate some white wine and used a pair of glasses that cost three taels of silver. The wine pot was glass, and the wine glass was also glass. The light was shining under the light. This was only affordable for such wealthy families in Hami.

While urging him to drink, Mr. Li asked a few people: "But you have the idea of ​​Hami Salt?"

This is the topic.

The officials and the outsiders said together: "We are all rich people from outside, but they are not as good as Mr. Li. Do you really have a chance?"

Of course there is.

But—

"Oh, I'm not unwilling to give up. You also know that Hami salt is now open to the pass, and there is also a matter of one tael of silver and one pound of salt. How can no one covet such a profitable business? If the old prince was not tough, I'm afraid the court would have taken the business away. If you want to have a bite of rice in this business, it would be impossible to have Hami's relationship." Mr. Li said, "There is no one in the pass, but you are afraid that you will be charged with a private sale after buying fine salt. Which of those officials who are like wolves and tigers don't want to get a few more pounds of fine salt to earn more than a few taels of silver?"

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "This matter is easy. We can't afford such a big profit. It's easy to talk about it elsewhere. It's just this batch of notes - if Mr. Wei doesn't speak, we can't even get the goods, Mr. Li..."

Mr. Li pondered.

It’s not that he is afraid of having more competitors. He wants everyone to sell salt so that Hami salt can become the only seasoning in the market.

"To be honest, I haven't seen Wei Xiaoguan for more than two years. I heard that he seems to be in seclusion, and some people have said..." Mr. Li shrank his neck and whispered, "I heard that he and the little princess were training all day long, and they set up a military camp in the deep mountains. Isn't this? Isn't this, someone is still talking nonsense, what are you saying... that's it?"

Several outsiders shook their eyes and said, "The little princess is also an adult, and she should have such a heart. Guanxi is now completely under the control of the royal palace, and the prince is only one daughter, so she must have a worthy young man."

Mr. Sun said, "How can I let Mrs. Feng butler?"

Several people stopped talking.

Who knows how the little princess will hate this?

But who dares to say that Miss Feng is not?

"You have all seen it. Today, Madam Feng only sent two women who came in to help me last year to congratulate you." Mr. Li was extremely envious. "Not to mention the ones who followed after thirty-two years of Zhi, the ones from the groom's family, the ones from the Qin family, the Zhang family, and even the ones from Xiaohu Shunzi, not to mention Feng Qing and the girl who were more promising than the eldest lady, who only went there two years ago. If anyone had a happy family, it would be a great face to send them to congratulate you."

"Enough, who do you think you are?" Sun Yuanwai ridiculed, "Golden Biao got married, and Mrs. Feng went to congratulate him in person."

That can't be compared.

"The two brothers of the Golden Tiger and Gold Mark are under the command of Wei Xiaoguanren. The Lao Fu camp has now expanded to more than 3,000 people, and that group of people is the most of their own people." Li Yuanwai sighed, "I just didn't expect that the two sisters who asked those who were studying to harm the poor now have great hopes. My sister is the wife of the deputy general of the Lao Fu camp. The girl works at Wei Xiaoguanren's house. It is said that Miss Feng saved us a fortune by just the dowry given to her. Don't we, the chief minister of the Liu family, who is a fifth-rank prince, has also had close contact with others."

Just as he was talking, a few people from the caravan asked for a visit.

Mr. Li said, "What are they here to do?"

Nai's order came, and several people came in, each holding a piece of paper and put it on the wine table. The first person said, "Mr. Li, the one-year contract we signed with you will be here next month. Brothers don't plan to do things for you again. You can recruit people in advance and let's part."

After saying that, he took out a Feng Hong and bowed, "It made the young master very happy. This is our wish. Please accept it with a smile."

There are two or three taels of silver in it, which is considered a great despair of a miserable person.

Mr. Li was surprised and said, "What is this to do?"

The leader said: "Mr. Li is a righteous person, so he can treat us. However, last time he agreed that he would buy insurance for us in half a year and pay for the protection. There is no movement yet..."

"Isn't the monthly silver issued more than others?" Li Yuanwai said angrily, "Besides, social security and other things are only guaranteed by the military now!"

"That's not. Two days ago, we helped Wei Xiaoguanren unload the caravan. They bought it. There was a greedy person in charge of the business and was beaten by someone who was a man of hard work. This matter came to Madam Feng, and Madam Feng also said that the workers made sense." The people said, "It just so happened that Madam Wei Xiaoguanren was going to recruit a team to protect salt in Qinghai. Half of them were old soldiers and half young and middle-aged. We want to bring our family to Hami, so we must have social security and say goodbye."

The outsiders looked at each other and muttered for a while: "Young Master Wei is very good at everything, but he is so good at treating these poor people. All the money is given to them. What should we do?"
