The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 657 Competition to See Who Is More Gentle and Rainy

Apart from pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there are a mirror, a bursting firecracker, and the "diary" of Second Sister Hong on the desk.

He is holding a string of rosary beads in his left hand, and he is twisting them lightly, while his right hand is flipping through the "diary" casually.

Seeing that the door was opened, the eldest son looked up, closed the diary, stood up with a smile, and said: "Haoran is back, brother Yu came abruptly, disturbing Haoran, I hope Haoran will not be offended."

As he spoke, he bypassed the book case and greeted him personally, which really gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

Li Dao also smiled, with the same kind of gentle wind and light rain, cupped his hands and said: "Where is that, brother Ding'an is too polite, Haoran has been eager to meet with brother Ding'an, but it is a pity that brother Ding'an has been busy before, so we can't see each other."

"Brother An Ding came to the door in person today, and made Brother Ding'an wait for such a long time. It's really Hao Ran's fault. It's a sin, a sin."

The eldest son waved his hands again and again and said: "Hao Ran is too polite, I just wandered here casually, why should I wait to talk about it?"

The two kept being polite, one said it was my fault, the other said it was my fault, their enthusiasm for each other was unreasonable, like a bosom friend who hadn't seen for many years, and like a long-lost biological brother.

It looked nothing like the first time we met.

If ordinary people put it aside, a few polite words like this would be enough, and then we could start talking about business, but the two of them went back and forth endlessly.

It gives people a feeling that the two are comparing each other, who is more polite, who is more open-minded, who is more like a spring breeze, who is more gentle and rainy, who is more...

After a long time, the two suddenly felt that such fake politeness was really boring, why did they feel that it was so hypocritical?

In addition, after all the polite words were finished, he didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere fell into silence.

"cough!"

The eldest son coughed lightly first, breaking the weird atmosphere, and ordered the servant to bring tea, and the two sat down as guests and hosts, and put a cup of tea after the tea.

The eldest son said: "Here, brother Yu would also like to thank Haoran for protecting my little brother, and for helping Liufang this time."

Li Dao waved his hands again and again, saying: "Brother Anding, you are being polite, but the younger brother is just meeting at the right time. Even if you don't say that I have a life-and-death relationship with Ah Qi, it is in the spirit of chivalry, how can I stand by and watch this injustice?" ?”

"En." The eldest son nodded, did not comment on this "chivalrous spirit", and continued: "The big cleansing of the Mingtang is now a certainty."

"Brother Yu just now has time to come to see Haoran. There are a few things I want to tell Haoran. One is that the 'ghosts' who supported Zheng Baming in the Outer Bazhou have been recalled and are currently being detained. .”

"With my fifth younger sister, Mr. Hu, Xiang Bajian and others coming to help, Zheng Baming is already out of luck. It won't be long before there will be no big guns in this world. Haoran doesn't need to worry about it."

Li Dao nodded lightly. To be honest, Li Dao really didn’t care much about Zheng Baming. Ever since he met Hong Erjie and Hong Shengnan in Yunxi City, Yunzhou that day, Li Dao knew. Zheng Ba's life is over.

This is the trend of the times. He Zheng Baming is on the other side of the eight states. He is the head of the land that controls the four states.

But in front of such a giant as Mingtang, he is not even a "mere district".

Not to mention the owner of the house, a person at the level of the department hall, even a big shopkeeper was singled out, and he was not caught in the eyelids.

Speaking of which, Mingtang is the actual ruler of the entire 36 states in the northwest, and even the "economic lifeline" of the southwest, southeast, and northeast is in Mingtang's hands.

If one day, Mingtang's ticket number collapses, the impact will be devastating.

It's just that they are low-key, they only want to do business, and they don't want to expand their power abroad, so they only keep the "Ming Sanzhou" private land.

Not to mention Hong Shengnan, Hu Zhenyi and others from the Banshanmen came to help, there would be no need for them. Mingtang only needs to play a little trick secretly, and he doesn't even need to use force.

It only needs to cut off the trade with Daqiangmen and shut down several ticket offices in Zhenzhou, and the Daqiangmen will be scattered and completely collapsed in a short time.

To use an inappropriate analogy, "you can't buy food even if you have money...", are you staying there and waiting to be starved to death?Might as well run to another place quickly.

Li Dao nodded: "I can think of these."

The eldest son went on to say: "If Haoran needs those 'ghosts', I can secretly arrange to send them to you. Haoran can kill them with his own hands, and it is good to vent his anger."

Li Dao shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not necessary. Mingtang has its own laws. If Brother An Ding's actions are known, it will inevitably be confirmed. Even though Liufang is in the ascendant now, things that are bad rules are still As little as possible."

The eldest son applauded and said: "I heard from my younger brother, Haoran, you are the most well-mannered and reasonable. Looking at it now, you really live up to your reputation."

Li Dao waved his hand, and said seriously: "Young Master, you are too famous. I just know that establishing order is far more difficult than destroying it."

"Today, the Eldest Young Master broke Ming Tang's rules for a little personal favor. As the so-called 'following the example', then in the future, others may follow suit for various reasons. This opening cannot be opened."

Hearing this, the Eldest Young Master couldn't help being awed, and put down the teacup he had just picked up.

Mingtang has its own rules, he didn't intend to hand over those "ghosts" to Li Dao to deal with, he just used words to test, to see Li Haoran's demeanor.

He also guessed that Li Haoran would refuse, but he never thought that the other party would say such a reason.

Arching his hands, he said in a deep voice: "'Establishing order is far more difficult than destroying it...', Haoran can be a teacher for Hong An, yes, without this rule, how can Mingtang last for more than a hundred years? Persevere through the ages?"

"It's just that Hong shouldn't have used such words to test Haoran, but I'm so petty. I'm going to apologize to Haoran here."

Li Dao chuckled lightly: "Young master is serious, it's just a little bit of emotion, I can't treat you like this. Let's let this matter go, let's just laugh it off."

Hong Anding smiled and nodded, letting go of this topic, and then picked up the "Piercing Four-style Burst of Bursts" on the table, and said, "Mingtang took over the business of Haoran's firecrackers."

"However, Ming Tang took advantage of the share of the net profit of Panax notoginseng. I discussed it with the Department of Commerce and several big shopkeepers, and planned to follow the example of the 'Night Winged Dark Cloud Beast' of the northern tribe."

"Open an account with Mingmen Zhengpai Jiuyi, Mingtang gets [-]% of the net profit, and Mingmen Zhengpai makes [-]% of the profits. Only in this way can we continue to cooperate for a long time."

"There is also this glass mirror. Although this is Liufang's business, I think it should also be opened on Jiuyi. Haoran Jiu, Liufang One, what does Haoran think?"
