Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14721 Recommendation
When Zuoqiu Zheng heard what Dewey said, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh? Du Changshi, you have a girlfriend now? Blame me for this. I thought you already had a girlfriend. Hahaha, Du Changshi, I think you have read this memorial a long time ago, right? Tell me what you think?" Zuoqiu Zheng did not mean to blame Dewey for this. He did not think that his industry must be kept secret. In fact, his industry could not be kept secret. Those big families must have known about his industry for a long time. So he was not angry with Dewey. On the contrary, he felt that Dewey did the right thing. It was the right thing to leave professional matters to professionals. At least Dewey's report was much better than those submitted by others.

Dewey said, "Yes, Your Highness, we can help Your Highness deal with some government affairs, but when it comes to doing business, we are really not up to it. None of us have ever done business before, so when I thought about dealing with this matter, I thought of a way to ask a professional to do it. It just so happens that my girlfriend's family is in business, and their business is doing very well. I asked my girlfriend's father to help make such a business plan. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have told him to keep it confidential, so no one will know about this. As for this report, I have indeed read it, and I think this report is well written. If we really do what is written in this report, we will indeed increase our income."

Zuo Qiuzheng nodded, then said, "So are you talking about marriage with this girlfriend?"

Dewey looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "Although we haven't known each other for long, we have a good relationship. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this." Dewey really thought so. In fact, a man of his status absolutely cannot be a playboy like others. If he does that, he will only be caught by his political enemies in the future. So he really wants to stay with Li Chengyang and get married in the end. This is why he never talked about a girlfriend before.

Zuo Qiuzheng nodded, then said: "So, the person who made this plan is your future father-in-law. What kind of business is he in? Can I ask him to help me manage these businesses in the East Palace? Of course, I will give him power, but there will also be some restrictions." Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Du Wei and said. He knew very well that there were really few people in his palace who knew how to do business. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find someone who knew how to do business to manage these things. Of course, he would also send someone to watch the other party so that he could feel at ease.

Du Wei said in a deep voice: "I need to ask him about this matter. Please give me some time, Your Highness."

Zuo Qiuzheng nodded and asked, "What's his name?" Zuo Qiuzheng was very curious about Dewey's father-in-law.

Dewey said in a deep voice: "His name is Li Mingde, and he is in the trading business." Zuo Qiuzheng nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he let Dewey go down. Dewey also understood what Zuo Qiuzheng meant. Zuo Qiuzheng must have sent someone to check Li Mingde's background. This was also the rule.

After Du Wei left, Zuo Qiuzheng said to Fu Sheng, "Fu Sheng, send someone to check on Li Mingde. Check carefully to see if there is anything wrong with him. Pay special attention to whether he has any business dealings with the people from the Twelve Companies."

Zuo Qiuzheng knew very well that the people in the Twelve Company were not simple. He was worried that Li Mingde was related to the Twelve Company. If Li Mingde was really related to the Twelve Company, then this incident was aimed at him, so he asked Fusheng to investigate.

Fu Sheng responded and was about to make arrangements when Zuo Qiuzheng said, "Wait a minute, send someone to check how Du Wei and his girlfriend knew each other. Go ahead." Fu Sheng responded and went to make arrangements. Zuo Qiuzheng took the report and read it again. The report was indeed very well done, allowing him to clearly see the problems in his own industry. He really liked the person who wrote the report. If Li Mingde really had no problems, he would definitely use Li Mingde.

Dewey worked a day in the East Palace. When he returned home in the evening, he found Li Chengyang there too. The two did not talk about the report, but just chatted for a while, then went out for a meeting together. Dewey then sent Li Chengyang home.

At this time, Zuo Qiuzheng also got the investigation report on Li Mingde. Li Mingde's industry had nothing to do with the Twelve Companies. On the surface, he was engaged in trading business, but because he was very smart in business, he had such a large industry today. No one could find any problems when investigating, and Zuo Qiuzheng certainly did not find any problems either. Then Zuo Qiuzheng took another look at the investigation on how Du Wei and Li Chengyang knew each other, and found out that they knew each other in this way. He also knew what happened in Du Wei's family some time ago, which made him look unhappy. He immediately called Fu Sheng over and said, "Check those people who wanted to attack Li Chengyang to see if they are really like that. If they are, throw them in jail, let them behave for a while, and teach them a lesson." Fu Sheng responded, then he saluted to Zuo Qiuzheng and went to make arrangements. Zuo Qiuzheng took the report and read it carefully. It was not until the evening that Fu Sheng reported to Zuo Qiuzheng, "Your Highness, those people have been thrown into jail. According to the laws of our Star Empire, the least one of them will be sentenced to one and a half years, and the most will be sentenced to at least ten years."

Zuo Qiuzheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Fu Sheng say that. "So serious? It seems that their matter is not small? Okay, then let's do this. It seems that Li Mingde can still be used. His business is really good. It is really amazing for an ordinary person to be able to do business like this by his own means. If he is willing, let him help me manage the industry."

Fu Sheng responded without saying anything else. Zuo Qiuzheng was busy with other things, while Fu Sheng walked aside and wrote a letter to Dewey. He told Dewey that he could ask Li Mingde for his opinion, which meant that Li Mingde had passed their investigation.

After Dewey read Fu Sheng's message, he was shocked. He immediately wrote to Li Mingde and asked him to come out. After Li Mingde saw Dewey's letter, he was shocked. He knew that he had passed the test, so he agreed immediately.

In fact, Li Mingde could be where he is today thanks to the help of the Elders' Council. The reason why Zuo Qiuzheng didn't find out was because his business was trading, and trading business is actually an information business. If you get a useful piece of information, you can make a fortune. He did not have any business dealings with the Twelve Companies on the surface, but in fact, he got countless inside information from the Twelve Companies. It was with the help of this information that he was able to make his business so big. This was the chess piece planted by the Elders' Council.

No matter how you investigate, people like Li Mingde have nothing to do with the Twelve Companies. It seems that he has made such a big business relying on his own vision. But in fact, the information given to him by the Twelve Companies over the years is very useful. The Twelve Companies do business on various planets and are very familiar with the conditions on each planet. They know exactly what is needed on each planet and what sells better. They only need to tell Li Mingde the information in advance, and then Li Mingde can do this business. Of course, his business will grow bigger and bigger, and there is no way to find out his relationship with the Twelve Companies.

Now their approach has finally paid off. Even Zuo Qiuzheng, the crown prince of the current dynasty, could not find any problems. This shows how successful the people of the Council of Elders were. This time they really managed to get someone close to Zuo Qiuzheng.

Li Mingde came with Li Chengyang to see Du Wei. Of course, he would not come alone, because there was no need to hide this matter from Li Chengyang, so Li Mingde brought Li Chengyang with him. They went to the restaurant where they had dinner last time. After the three of them arrived, Du Wei said to Li Mingde: "Uncle, I called you here today to tell you about the report. His Highness has read the report and he is very satisfied with it. He also said that he wants to meet you. If you really catch his eye during this meeting with him, he may hand over the property of the East Palace to you. Are you willing?"

Li Mingde immediately said excitedly: "Yes, of course I am willing. Although I am making a lot of money from business now, to be honest, people like us really don't have a high status. Any small official can control us. This feeling is really bad. I have been looking for a way to improve my status. If I can really help His Highness manage the industry, I will be more than happy."

Dewey said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then you may not be able to do business anymore. Are you willing to do that?"

Li Mingde said in a deep voice: "I am willing. Our family has enough money now. To be frank, we can't spend it all in several lifetimes, but this money can't buy such an opportunity. So now that I have such an opportunity, I will certainly not let it go. Dewey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. When I knew you were in love with Chengyang, I was very happy. People with your background may never understand how difficult it is for people like us to improve our status." At this point, Li Mingde's face couldn't help but darken, as if he thought of something bad, but he didn't say it. When Dewey saw his look, he guessed that he had been pressured by others using his identity before. However, this was normal. Li Mingde was an ordinary person. It was normal for someone like him to be pressured by others using his identity. He did not feel strange at all, so he did not ask any more questions. In fact, this was really the case. Although Li Mingde received a lot of help from the Twelve Companies, because he did not have the identity of the Twelve Companies, it was not the first or second time that he was pressured by others using his identity. Even if someone checked, they could find out. So even if someone checked his background and found that he made such a decision, it would not be an exaggeration at all.
