Section 2166 Forest Trees

Both Min De and Li Wei lived in a luxurious hotel in the city. Although it is already good, but with Li Wei

From the perspective of people, there is still a big gap between everything here and the earth, and it cannot be said to be the same level at all.

It’s the last time, but it’s okay to have such enjoyment in such a place, Li Wei can’t wait to go to the street immediately

Go for a stroll and see what's in such a big city with a population of more than one billion people. Just look at the people below

Knowing the population density here, it is unbelievable that there is such a city, Minde is very concerned about these

I'm used to it. On the contrary, he is not used to it when he is not in the capital these days. He first settled Li Wei in the capital.

Here, what he has to do is to have a good talk with the back roads he arranged in the past.

After being the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years, if I have no way out, then I am really in vain, of course,

Some things are not so simple. I used to live a life of a fox pretending to be a tiger, but now that tiger is gone.

If I have become a sick cat, I may become even more useless, but this time I brought a lot of things.

Western, as long as I throw out these things of my own, I can still see the former emperor more or less, or

Maybe he also hopes to show up by himself, because according to the intelligence, they all know that the emperor has been removed from power, which is very important to him.

For an emperor, that was unimaginable. He will never be so lonely, if so, for

For him, it is a kind of torture, he has what he needs in his hand, I believe this guy will cooperate with him, as long as

If he can get his support, it will be just around the corner to restore the glory of Cao's House in the Southern Empire.

This kid Li Wei doesn't need a little news time at all. He is here to do things, and there is nothing along the way.

So tired, anyway, I didn't walk with my own legs. Now I heard that Minde is going to do some work. He also hopes to

Min De is not good at rejecting this kid, in fact, he also knows that the kid in front of him is from Cao's House

among the hottest,

I don't know how many people hope to serve this kid. But things are not so simple now

single. The person in front of him wants to follow him. How could I not let him go? If I were in other places, I could still say

No, but what is this place? This is the capital of the Southern Empire. This place used to be his base camp.

It is very easy for this guy to do something to betray the Cao family firm. Now in the entire Southern Empire,

The business of Cao's Commercial Bank is recovering. If he really has an idea, this matter can really be given to Cao's Commercial Bank.

If people bring a lot of losses, such things must not be allowed to happen, so some things must be controlled

It is possible, of course, Li Cong did not arrange for Li Wei to do that, and Li Wei himself did not have that idea, but Min

That's what De himself thinks. Li Wei is purely curious about the people on this planet.

Other thoughts, as for those monitoring and so on, I have never thought about it at all, of course, he is not a fool

, as a member of the Li family, this brain can go around much faster than others, just like now, he understands a lot, this

These things are like this, he knows that Min De must be wrong, this man's grandfather told himself, saying that this guy is very

It's useful, I can't let him misunderstand me like that, I'm not here to delay things.

"Mr. Minde, things are not what you think, you have to understand, I'm not here to spy on you, you know, Cao

Basically, there is no doubt about the employment of people in a commercial firm. I just know most of the things on this planet.

It's only because of curiosity. Of course, I also want to see what kind of forces you left behind. Grandfather put this

Some things in the book were handed over to the two of us, should I also have some right to know? If Mr. Min De thinks that I have no

If it is necessary to know those things, that’s okay, just say it directly, I won’t follow along. "Li Wei said with a smile.

Dao, the misunderstanding was solved in a few words, and the look in his eyes was very innocent. They all knew about this matter.

That's what he looks like now, he really wasn't here to monitor him, Li Wei knew it when he saw Min De's expression when he said these words

This guy didn't misunderstand, which is still very good, if he misunderstood, it would not be so good, Min De heard his words

In other words, although I still think in my heart that it is impossible not to monitor myself, but in any case, it is already enough for people to have such words.

That’s right, it’s not like Tete hasn’t seen those dignitaries in the past. For him, those people would never give you

Any explanation is just for you to do something for them. If you want to go over and ask for an explanation stupidly,

This matter is not that simple, it will definitely make your head move, Minde never tried to hide anything from the beginning

It's like this now, for him, he will have to follow the people of Cao's House to the dark,

If I can't do this, if I go around like this, I'm really a villain. In this case, I don't care about myself

No matter where he has been, he probably has nothing left to do, and the Cao's House of Commerce will not let him go.

"Hehe, what did the young master say? I have such thoughts, but even if the firm supervises me to a certain extent

It is also possible to look at it. Compared with Mr. Wu and the others, I always have some disgraceful pasts.

There is no point in coming out, and the most important thing will be in the future. I will definitely let the people in the business see my usefulness,

For them, I may not be able to convince them, but I believe that if the mission in the capital is completed this time,

, there will be many people who will believe me in the future, if they still don't believe me, then I really have nothing to do, some

That's how things are at times, forget it, if you want to follow me, it's fine. but i can't tell you who you are

Their. You can only be wronged for a while, and be my follower? "Min De said self-deprecatingly, but it can make the owner of Cao's House

It's pretty good for him to be a follower or something, but Li Wei doesn't care much about this. Even as a follower

So what if. As long as you don't let yourself stay here. He doesn't want this break at all.

, now that the two of them have reached a consensus, they can leave directly now. for them now

Everything is not very good. After all, this is the capital of the Southern Empire. You need to be careful about everything. The Southern Empire also

There are a lot of radical people, and some of them may do something to the people of Cao's House. Some young people from the Southern Empire

The officials all advocate the development of their own military, and within a few years they will launch another war against the people of the Cao family firm

Take back their territory and the money that belongs to them, but now they can only shout slogans

Well, as for other things, they really don't know anything, which is a bit chilling.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is definitely a very large department for an empire, and their entire operation can even be compared with the six departments.

The operation must be large. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be said to be the departments that deal with the most money, but the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

There are more of them than those of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which also shows that running the money bag of the public house is not as good as managing the money bag of the emperor.

Zizi is much more important. Besides, being an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is different from being an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

You must pay attention to a rule. If you have that ability, you will have to wait a few years to get promoted to the Dabi, but

It is different in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to follow these similar things. The Ministry of Internal Affairs can say

As long as you have your own skills, the people above will basically use you. Of course, your most reward is money.

, it is impossible to gain any status, unless you get to know the emperor from the beginning, otherwise

His is impossible. The place Min De is going to now is the home of an imperial merchant in the House of Internal Affairs.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been in office for several years, and some of the manpower in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been assigned to the border.

Going to Xinjiang, it is useless at all. This guy used to flatter himself a lot in the past, and his personal friendship is counted.

Very good, I guess I can talk to him about going together, if not, then there is no way, no

However, there is no need to worry that this guy will betray himself, because each of these businessmen is very treacherous,

It's not good for him to sell himself, and they won't do anything if there is no benefit,

Everything is on the line, so we can meet again in the future, this kind of thing is certain for anyone.

This businessman is mainly engaged in the timber business, no matter how rare or precious timber is on the entire continent, this guy

All of them can be obtained, of course, this can be regarded as one of his skills, he is not the biggest timber wounder in the Southern Empire.

People, but this guy is definitely the most profitable timber merchant in the Southern Empire. According to the regulations of the Southern Empire court, merchants or something,

Their homes can only be in the south city, and the north city is all the places where scholar-bureaucrats live. Even if you are a scholar, you

You can also settle down in the North City, no matter how much money you have, but as long as you are a businessman, you can only live in the South City,

This is the regulation of the Southern Empire. This regulation is not so strict in other places, that is, only in the capital area.

Such regulations are mainly because the royal families of the empire want to highlight their status. To be honest, they usually eat and drink

They are used to having fun, but they don't have that much money. Each of them can be said to be a little poor.

If you hang out with these rich businessmen, their life is not very good every day, so just separate

That's right, if it is to be robbed, this is the capital of the Southern Empire, and the supervisory agencies here are not all working, there are

A lot of imperial censors are dedicated to staring at Huangshi children like them. Back then, this wood was often used for hurting people.

People were being ripped off, and it was Min De who settled the matter for him several times. Although Mind is not considered a nobleman. but

Minde is more noble than the nobles, let alone some Huangshi children who have no foundation, even some reserve positions are expected

What about the princes? Those people are not here to curry favor with him, if there is no Min De. one by one

I don't know when I want to see the emperor. So naturally they will not offend Min De.

Soon the two of them were at the guy's door. Because this is the doorway of merchants, the government of the Southern Empire generally comes to

It is said that they will not come to monitor here, each of these people sees many people every day. This is not from the Southern Empire, for sure

It's somewhere else, it's normal for businessmen to meet these people, if I don't even let them do this

In other words, how can people make money? If they can't make money, how can they bring certain prosperity to the court of the Southern Empire?

What about taxes? These things all complement each other, and you can’t do whatever you want. Many times, everyone

I know it, but sometimes it is unavoidable. If the people in the government happen to be short of money these two days, they

I will come here for a stroll, those businessmen from other places don't often see people from these powerful departments of the empire,

In order for their own business to go on smoothly, they can only give the money quickly so that these people can leave quickly.

Don't delay your own business, the money sent out is a small amount, if you delay your serious business,

That would be a huge loss. Naturally, they won't pay for the money themselves. It's all in the emperor's head.

That's right, although you didn't charge us this kind of money, but none of your little brothers are worry-free goods,

That can only be counted on your heads. One of the major reasons why imperial merchants can make money is that

It's because their profits are not their own. It would be nice if they could get 10% of the one hundred taels of silver into their own hands.

Those who paid here were paid here, and they were filial there. Even so, their lives are much better than ordinary people.

This is the reason why everyone wants to be an imperial merchant. Everyone is not a fool, they all want a good profit.

However, some imperial merchants can also live in Beicheng, and the servants they hire are even the same as the palace.

They will definitely not do things that are prohibited, but it will be different later. They will naturally want to do things that are not prohibited by the court.

Well done, for example, their house, the imperial court does not allow them to be in Beicheng, but you cannot allow others

Relatives of scholars or something should buy their own houses in Beicheng. If such things are prohibited, the court is really too

It's too much, just don't let people pass by, this imperial merchant is called Lin Mu, one of his relatives is a scholar, he just used it

The name of this guy has built a big house in Beicheng, as long as he is a scholar, as long as he is a person with fame, he can

In the North City, there were quite a few people in charge of these wealthy businessmen at the beginning, but after their money attack

Under the situation, not many people will talk about this issue. They all know that even if you take care of this matter, they will

Will do other things, the rules are dead, you can not let him do it, but the money is alive, they will sooner or later

Those who can do this, and later on, His Majesty the Emperor also rewarded those who did a better job, and let him

We have a mansion in Beicheng, since His Majesty the Emperor is like this, the rest of the people are not fools, naturally

It’s the matter of drilling rigs everywhere, and in the end it becomes whether you can live in Beicheng, and it becomes a dazzling question.

It is a place to show off one's own strength, and the imperial court encourages the normal competition of the imperial merchants. Even acquiescing to such behavior

Well, each of them has nothing to fear. That's how Lin Mu's house came about. It was built like this when the emperor built the palace.

The things he got from the Warcraft Mountains can be said to be very well done, otherwise there would be no such house.

Along the way, Min De was talking about Lin Mu to Li Wei. Speaking of which, he was considered a figure among businessmen.

If the place where precious wood is used in the palace is basically made by this guy, let alone his money

offensive. Then no one can stand it. Others dare to give half of their profits to these officials, but Lin Mu

Even more daring, this guy can use 80% of the profits to go. I remember that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to repair some palaces back then.

About 400 million silver pieces of wood were used. These things are very precious things. These things don't mean you want to get them

You can get it, but this guy got it, when everyone thought he wanted the lion to open his mouth. but people

Just quoted a price of 500 million silver, when Min De reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, Min De naturally did not

Speaking of Lin Mu, he would definitely say that it was his own credit. His Majesty the Emperor really believed in this matter.

It has always been said that Min De can handle things, Min De was rewarded at that time, and then this guy paid 8 million

The taels of silver were sent to Min De's home. In the past, Min De had at most three to five million yuan for such a thing.

Not bad, but they directly got 8 million taels of silver, such an amount made Min De very surprised

, Later, as long as there is business in this area, this kid basically eats it. It can be said that he does things like this

If you do it, you are willing to throw money at it. At the end, there is nothing that cannot be done. Relying on the connections you have made over the years, this

This guy has more than a dozen business outlets in the capital, and there are quite a few in the entire empire. It can be said that he is not an empire.

The largest timber merchant, but he is definitely the most profitable timber merchant in the entire empire.

Lin Mu came back early today, he is basically the same as some wealthy people, but his favorite is beautiful women

, this beautiful woman has always been what he pursued. Didn't this just cause someone to buy a stunning beauty from the south, and his fifteenth

The concubine was about to rest with herself, but the housekeeper knocked on the door. Lin Mu would probably have to wait for something like this to happen.

Go out and ask someone to use a board to teach your housekeeper a good lesson. The other housekeepers know that this time is definitely

You can't talk about things with the master, even if you did the right thing, there will be no good end in the end, but

The butler continued to knock on the door persistently, Lin Mu couldn't bear it anymore, and the concubine on the bed breathed a sigh of relief.

, if it wasn't for the money, my family would not have sold myself, but the person in front of me is obviously more expensive than myself.

Tens of years older, the first time I gave it to such a person, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, now

Seeing this person leave just like that, how can I say that I am relieved in my heart.

It’s enough to come here a few more times, but it’s just a matter of thinking about it for yourself. I’m already the meat in other people’s mouths, and sooner or later

Will eat herself up, Lin Mu naturally won't see what this woman thinks, so she casually made clothes and put them on her body.

So I went out cursing, "I want to see what's going on, don't you know my habits, master? Or you guys

Everyone's skin is itchy, I can't find happiness for myself at this time, sir, I don't have any other hobbies, just a little hobbies are still worth it.

It's nothing to be fooled by you idiots, if I don't teach you a good lesson today, it's simply impossible

It's all over. "This guy walked out while talking, and the few stewards outside could run as far as they could.

The concubine also wanted to hear what was going on outside the house. Although he was still a girl, he was trained in that kind of place.

The one who abused it was not the girl who didn't know anything outside, I'm afraid the housekeeper outside suffered a lot, and he himself

There is a little last time, who knows that after waiting for five minutes, there is no sound outside

here. On the contrary, she couldn't sit still, and asked her girl to go out to see what was going on, which didn't fit the situation.

Reason, if such a thing didn't happen before, what's going on now? After a while, this girl

The servant girl ran back, but the news that the servant girl gave him surprised him. He knew it before he entered the house.

Knowing what kind of temper this old man has, if a person like himself enters his gate, he can put himself

It would be strange to let it go, it is absolutely impossible. But what happened today was really weird. this

The people went out immediately, what kind of people came outside, not only this new woman, but also other servants

I also felt a big difference. Don't say anything else. In other words, the servants in this yard are also very nervous. It seems that something terrible has happened. Living in the capital is not easy, and everyone knows this very well. But they also know that their master is not an ordinary person. Some time ago, a viscount had some trouble with his young master. Everyone in the family was terrified. In the end, the master went out for a visit to the house The mansion yamen, the last viscount will be nothing. You must know that their lord is a commoner, not a nobleman. To make a nobleman bow his head is something that only a magician can do.

"Order it down, everyone is fine for me tonight, everyone is in their seats tonight, and anyone who moves around is arrested, everyone is a cage tonight Blind man, no matter what you saw tonight, no one can tell me what you said. If you let me know what you said, your good days will come to an end today, and you will all be killed. , take the guests to the living room, you follow in person, dismiss all the servants on both sides, and then you guard the door yourself, no one can be within 30 meters, if someone approaches, it is considered a You have to kill me, too." Lin Mu said as if he was facing an enemy, this master usually gave the servants the feeling of being very confident, what's going on today, how could he behave like that It's not normal, look at the master's forehead again, it's actually sweating now, I really don't know how such a thing happened, even when I encountered the same thing as that viscount, it didn't happen This time, I was really sweating, and the housekeeper nodded again and again. He knew that something should happen at this time. The last time something like this happened, the master’s family business expanded by one-third Yes, I know this very clearly. I don’t know what will happen this time. He must do these things well. Last time I got a reward of 50,000 silver. A housekeeper It’s already very disagreeable that there are so many people before. It’s not bad that I can meet such a thing again. As long as the master gives so many rewards this time, I can go back to the old man as a teacher. So I don't continue to worry about this place anymore. Judging from the current situation, it should be almost the same.

Lin Mu hurriedly walked towards the living room. For him, the thing in his hand made him feel very troublesome. The thing in his hand was his own. In the past, such things were given out by himself. It would be good if this thing is given to ordinary officials, but this thing is for Min De. Min De was a good target in the past, and people like myself would often surround that guy Hanging around, but it’s different now. No one will mention that guy now, because that guy is an alternative in the official circles of the Southern Empire. Now many people want to know what he is doing. It is said that he has become a Cao's House is now the first-level steward. In fact, if he was allowed to choose, he would rather be the first-level steward of Cao's House. Although the head of the Southern Empire's Internal Affairs Office is also good, it's all in the past, and everyone knows Min De's backstage is the previous emperor, the current emperor is too emperor, it was okay in the past, but not so good now, the current emperor is the son of the former emperor, but the loyal ministers of the old emperor are all retired No, there is no need for these people to continue to exert their so-called waste heat on it. In their view, the old emperor's people are relatively rigid and will not be flexible. There is no need to do things like this now. What is needed now is change, and what is needed is change. It is possible to have some new blood coming in. If there is no such new blood, the entire empire will be finished, so it is too timely for Minde to leave at that time , otherwise, even if they stay, there will be no good fruit to eat. At this time, they will be kicked out by the new emperor of the empire, and there will be absolutely no good end. It's just that he is not a teacher in the south at this time. What did you call someone to come here for?

Min De didn't reveal his identity either, he just sent the thing over and sent word that an old friend was coming to meet him, and he imagined it was Min De, which was his own business. At this time, when Lin Mu walked into the living room, he saw two strangers. One is naturally Li Wei. The other one is Min De who has changed his appearance. This guy has changed his appearance. After observing for a long time, Lin Mu still doesn't remember who this person is. Because there was no such person in the past, how could he know the person in front of him? He knew Min De, but Min De changed his appearance, so naturally he would not know him, "I don't know if the two are Min De Who is Mr. De? Although Mr. Minde is no longer in the Southern Empire, if the old friend of Mr. Minde encounters any difficulties, it is still possible to come to me, and I can help some here. For a period of time, I may not dare to take you in, but now there are not so many things, and so many loyal court officials are gone, let alone Lord Minde, who is not a very important role, everything is It is possible to start over." This guy said straight to the point, but he was also afraid, if someone like this came to his home, if someone saw this and sued him casually, he might really There is no other way, the whole family is going to be scolded all over the house, it is not easy for me to get to the current level, so I hope these two guys will express their thoughts quickly, and look at the two of them. Clothes and the like are very precious, and they should not come here for alms, then there must be something new. This thing may be something I am afraid of, but at the same time there may be new opportunities, Min De It will be beneficial to know your own.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don't be afraid. We don't have any other intentions. Let's relax. Look at us. You definitely don't know us. No one in the whole capital knows us. I'm here today, isn't it? If you always want something, don’t get me wrong, Mr. Min De has become the first-level steward of Cao’s House in the south, and the contract with the court has already stated that it is impossible to pursue Mr. Min De’s fault. Like Prince Ren, they are people who can see the sun, we are here to discuss some business matters with you." Minde said with a smile, he knew that if he wanted to open up the situation in the capital, he needed It is a stepping stone. Anyway, the business of Cao’s House of Commerce has dropped a lot in the Southern Empire. At this time, it must start to get started again. These people are the stepping stones that they want to get up. It means that the two parties need to communicate with each other. What we need to do now is to make the people in front of us unsuspecting. After hearing what he said, Lin Mu is also a little suspicious. After all, he is a businessman himself, and he knows about the news from the south. It's not very clear, just like this matter, he just knew that Min De might have mixed up with people from Cao's House, but he absolutely didn't know how far he got mixed up, let alone that he became a member of Cao's House This kind of thing really surprised me. Since he is the first-level manager of Cao's House, then this business will definitely not be small. He is an ambitious person. If he is not ambitious, It is possible to let the two people in front of him go out now, because he absolutely does not want to get burned like that. These two people can be killed so easily. If they are caught by the intelligence department of the Southern Empire, their own life It's really not easy.

"Oh, I really didn't expect Master Minde to be so powerful. Back then, he was a big man who called the wind and rain in the capital. Now he is even more powerful. If I used to think so, I definitely wouldn't think so, but today I am really Sincerely speaking, Master Min De is very powerful. He is really the king in the north, and he is a mess in the south. But if Master Min De will continue to stay and be the head of the House of Internal Affairs If not, this life will not be so easy. Look at the current court, it is really chaotic. Today, the minister was dismissed for some reason, and the servant will return to his hometown tomorrow, and the court They also often introduce some policies that are not good for us. The current court seems to be helping those mud-legged people everywhere. If you forget your own roots, this matter will not be so good. The emperor was also born in a wealthy family. But start with us wealthy people first, alas, I really don’t know what to say, every day is not as good as every day, and now the monthly tax payment is more than twice that of before, but filial piety is not even a tael of silver Give me less, this is how we live." This guy is also a person of the acting school, seeing that the other party didn't say what the cooperation is about, he is not in a hurry here, just like those people, continue It’s all about silence, and the rest is beyond your own thinking. It’s up to you to say what you want to say. If you want to cooperate, then you have to show a little sincerity. If you don’t want to If we cooperate, then I don’t know what to say. Is our conversation coming to an end today? It’s impossible to continue nonsense. My risk is too great. I’ll give you a little nonsense at most. The time is enough, it is impossible to grow.

"Hehe, let's stop talking about Mr. Minde. What we want to talk about now is about our cooperation. Now Mr. Minde is in charge of most of the business of the Southern Empire. As you know, because of the war Well, the business of Cao's House of Merchant here has basically stopped. I also know that the current imperial court is different from the previous one, but Lord Minde also said that no matter what time you businessmen are If you have your own way, you will never let your own people suffer. You will all have your own ways. If you want to continue to increase your family business, how about cooperating with Lord Minde? Master Minde knows that you are in the timber business, so you have to get started in your old business first. The bow neck wood in the Warcraft Mountains must be what you want most. This thing is in the capital of the Southern Empire. There is a price but no market here. It just so happens that there are quite a few on the side of Master Minde, but the consumption of the entire Southern Empire is also limited. In the past, you could make a move in the City of Light, but now There are no opportunities to do business over there. We can only find a way here in the capital. Do we need to cooperate now? In terms of price, you can rest assured that 30% of the price in the capital will be fine. If we let us If you are responsible for the transportation, it will be 50% of the price, I don’t know how about this?” Minde said with a smile, if such things can’t impress him, he is really a piece of garbage, looking at this guy’s eyes I understand, this guy has really been transferred into this trap. What he wants is to attract you first. When you have tasted the sweetness, you must continue to do business with us. At that time, everything will be even more serious. It's easy to handle, in fact, their life is really not very easy at this time.

After the new emperor of the Southern Empire came to the throne, basically all the big construction and other things disappeared, and it was a bit impossible to continue selling high-grade timber. It is impossible to do the same thing as when you were at the time. You can only look at it honestly, then you have to open up some new ways. The royal family does not use precious wood, but they use some top-notch wood. I don't have much stock in my hand, just like this bow neck wood, if there are really a lot of them, this thing can really make me a lot of money. (To be continued..)
