Kowloon wins

Chapter 310

After all, the news of the Eight Banners Company spread, even though the old man had issued a password-sealed order, but confidentiality is like the wind, but if there is a slight gap, no matter how thick the wall is, it cannot be blocked. After the discussion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it took only a few days for the whole capital to spread the rumors, and the disciples of the Eight Banners were discussing it a lot, so those who came to Prince Cheng's mansion to inquire about it did not know how many people were there. In addition to being very annoying to the third master, he couldn't help being very upset about it. After a few days of silence, he finally couldn't help calling Hong Qing to the study room in the inner courtyard, intending to ask him clearly.

"The child kowtowed to the father and king."

Late autumn is a time of slack in agriculture, but for the Ministry of Industry, it is the busiest season, probably because only slack in agriculture is the best time to mobilize people to carry out large-scale projects, whether it is building water conservancy or building imperial mausoleums , Late autumn is the beginning of large-scale construction projects. As the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Hong Qing was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. It was dark and he just returned to his house, and no one had yet entered his small courtyard. , was sent to the study by the third master, and as soon as he turned the screen, he saw that the third master's face was cloudy and uncertain, and with just a turn of his mind, he understood the purpose of the third master's summoning at this time, and he laughed secretly in his heart, but He didn't bring it to his face, but hurried to the front, saluted respectfully and greeted him.

"no."

The third master is very unhappy for two reasons. One is that he is dissatisfied that Hongqing didn't even discuss with himself, so he directly stabbed the matter of the Eight Banners company to the old man. , if it's more than a hundred thousand taels a year, the third master won't care about it, and it's over with a smile, but now the income involved in the Eight Banners firm is several million taels a year, and the third master can't laugh anymore Now, facing Hong Qing, the instigator, although the third master didn't explode on the spot, his voice was obviously less soft and more icy.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

Hong Qing knows what the third master is thinking, but she doesn't care about it, and she doesn't even have the slightest regret. It's not for anything else, it's just because Hong Qing knows how the third master is. He also has a good name for being kind and charitable, but that's all for outsiders to see. In fact, the third master's heart is really not so broad-minded that he treats money like dung. If he really told him in advance that he would hand over the shipping matter It is owned by the Eight Banners, and it is strange that the third master does not jump around and scold his mother. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Hong Qing simply does not know about the third master. As for the explanation after the event, Hong Qing has already made sufficient preparations, but she is not afraid She couldn't evade it, because of this, even if the voice of the third master was not right, Hong Qing was absolutely not afraid, she just thanked her calmly and calmly, and then bowed and stood with her hands down, as if she was listening to the instructions respectfully.

"Is the Ministry of Industry very busy recently?"

Before Hongqing arrived, the third master was full of complaints, but after Hongqing arrived, the third master really didn't know how to ask questions for a while, not because of anything else, but because Hongqing's business was all about overseas trade. Qing's own business has nothing to do with his third master. From a logical point of view, no matter how Hong Qing plans to deal with it, the third master has no reason to comment. Besides, the third master's own expenses are mostly It was supported by Hongqing taking money from the company. Under such circumstances, it seemed unreasonable to accuse Hongqing of spending money randomly, so the words of accusation lingered in the stomach of the third master for a long time, and it was also difficult for him to blame him. Leng didn't have the nerve to say it, but in the end, he just asked indifferently.

"Returning to the father, there are a lot of things recently, but the child can still handle it."

Hong Qing was already waiting for the third master to get mad, but he didn't expect that the third master had been holding back for a long time, and he only asked such nonsense, and couldn't help being happy again, but he dared not bring When it came to his face, he just replied in a calm voice.

"Well, that's good. If you need Ama's help, just ask."

In fact, the third master was just asking casually, looking for something to say. Seeing that Hong Qing answered so seriously, he couldn't immediately get to the point. In desperation, he really could only give it perfunctorily. An unreliable promise.

"Yes, the child knows."

The third master didn't open his mouth to ask about serious matters, and Hong Qing didn't want to take the initiative to talk about it. The matter has basically become a foregone conclusion. Happy to be tight.

"Well, there have been a lot of rumors about the Eight Banners business in the market recently, does Qing'er know what happened?"

In the end, the third master was still not reconciled, even though he knew it was useless to ask, and it was impossible to affect the result at all, but in the end, he still asked in a deep voice.

"Father Wang Mingjian, this matter is indeed related to the baby. The thing is like this. At the end of August, the fourth uncle wrote this chapter, saying that the debts of the Cao family have not been clarified. Because the baby is the guarantor, Huang Mafa summoned the baby in private. When I asked Hai'er what was the outcome of this matter, Hai'er dared not hide anything, so he told the truth about the overseas trade. Huang Mafa was very surprised when he heard that overseas trade was ten times as profitable, so he asked Can the imperial court come forward to seek it out? The boy said to him: "This fear is not good for enlightenment, and Huang Mafa also thinks so deeply. Later, he said that if it is done in the name of the Eight Banners, the conflict of education may be avoided. After hearing this, the boy heard this and thought about it." Not daring to resign, so I made an agreement with Huang Mafa, this is the origin of the Eight Banners business name."

For the sake of the safety of her little butt, Hong Qing didn't intend to tell the truth, so she put all the responsibility on the old man with all sincerity, nothing else, even if the third father and father had the courage, he would definitely not dare to run away Go to the old man and ask him to understand.

"Well, so that's the case, Huang Ama really worked hard for the Eight Banners."

The third master is a shrewd person. Although Hong Qing's words seem to be self-justifying on the surface, the third master obviously doesn't believe it. It's just that he doesn't believe it or not, but he can't keep asking. It's a bit ugly, but anyway, if you don't ask questions, you don't ask questions, but the unhappiness in my heart has not been reduced much, on the contrary, it has become a little stronger, and the words I speak inevitably have a sour smell of jealousy.

"The little prince has done a great job in this matter. Only those who can have the world in mind will have the hope of becoming a great weapon!"

The vinegar smell of the third master is too obvious. Everyone in the study is a quick-witted person, so how can they not hear it, but their reactions are different——Hong Qing is pretending to be confused, while Li Minquan is not Dare to intervene, only old master Chen has no scruples, he gave the third master a dissatisfied look, and said something pointedly.

"What the master said is true. Qing'er has to put her heart into it this time, so don't disappoint Huang Ama's cultivation heart."

When the old master said this, the old face of the third master blushed uncontrollably, but he dared to be serious with the old master Chen, so he had no choice but to put on a serious look and pretended to admonish Hong Qing.

"Yes, the child will bear in mind his father's teachings, and will definitely try his best to do so."

Hearing the third master's unreasonable words, Hong Qing almost burst out laughing, that is, the city is so good, so she didn't burst into laughter on the spot, but, to prevent accidents, she hurriedly lowered her head in a respectful manner. He humbly agreed.

"Well, that's good. It's getting late, so let's go down and rest first."

The third master originally wanted to ask about the charter of the Eight Banners Company, but after thinking about it, he felt that his ability in this area would be hard to catch up with Hongqing even if he flattered horses. Thinking about it, he waved Hong Qing away with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, baby retire."

Hong Qing has been exhausted for a whole day today, this time she was called by the third master when she came back to the mansion, and she has not even had dinner by this time, she is already tired and hungry, how can she have the heart to accompany her The third master was talking nonsense, hearing what the third master said, he was happy to obey, hurriedly saluted, and then turned back to "Cuishanju" by himself.

"Master, sir, Qing'er has set up such an Eight Banners business name. Whether it is worrying or happy about the court's situation, I don't know if you two have any concerns about it?"

Although he no longer thinks too much about the money that is destined to fly away, the third master is still a little uncertain about the appearance of the Baqi Company, lest his family's future will be delayed because of this matter. It's hard to express such a meaning, now that Hong Qing has left, the worries in the third master's heart have eased a lot, so he asked a question in a deep voice.

"Great!"

Both Chen and Li are people with seven apertures and exquisite hearts, even if the words of the third master are vague, the two of them can understand what the third master wants to ask, the difference is Li Minquan's ability to calculate intelligently It's a bit inferior, and I haven't been able to figure out the pros and cons for a while, but Old Master Chen has already made up his mind, and he gave a clear answer in a concise manner.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates also think that this matter is of great benefit to your grand plan, but we must guard against villains from causing trouble. It is expected that when the company is established in the future, there will be some competition among all parties. However, as long as we If you stay true to yourself, you will be invincible.”

Although Li Minquan's intelligence is a little weaker, but compared with such a peerless wise man as Old Master Chen, he is also quite a generation, and with the suggestion of Old Master Chen, he is naturally very fast. Then he figured out the pros and cons of it, and then he spoke out to explain Old Master Chen's opinion in detail.

"Well, that's true. A group of sneaky people always like to do sneaky things, but they don't think that Huang Amana is a wise master. These villains are just clowns. It doesn't matter if they make trouble."

Over the past few years, after many battles and victories, the third master's self-confidence has been overwhelming, and he really has the confidence to look down on the brothers, and he really doesn't pay much attention to the small tricks of the brothers. Such a heroic state As soon as it came out, both Chen and Li couldn't help feeling dumbfounded.
