The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li didn't wear a mask tonight. The moonlight was like water, casting a soft glow on her body, and the scars on her face were almost invisible.

In Xie Changan's eyes, the girl sitting on the roof and playing the flute was as beautiful as a peony under the moon or a lotus shrouded in mist.

At the end of the song, Jiang Li smiled brightly: "Sir, I wish you peace and happiness every year."

Xie Changan just felt that this was the most precious birthday gift he had ever received in his life.

He took the bamboo flute from Jiang Li and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, I like it very much."

He asked again: "When is your birthday?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I was born on the Flower Festival. My Lord, don't forget to give me a birthday gift then!"

"it is good."

No wonder a girl born on the Flower Festival looks as beautiful as a flower.

"Sir, try this mooncake. Aunt Lian made it herself. It's no worse than Taoranju's."

"Have you ever tried Taoranju's pastries?"

"Brother Eleven brought it to me."

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."

"Really? Then I want peach blossom cake, almond roll, rose crystal cake, mung bean sugar cake..."

"Why are you so greedy? No wonder you're called Little Li Nu, you're just a greedy cat!"

The little eagle had already nestled in Jiang Li's arms, sleeping like a ball of fur.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xie Changan stood up and said, "It's too late. I'll take you back so that Aunt Lian won't find out that you sneaked out in the middle of the night."

"Okay." Jiang Li was a little full after eating tonight and felt a little sleepy at this moment.

The two of them used their Qinggong skills, their bodies were elusive, as fast as meteors, they flew over eaves and walls as if they were walking on flat ground.

It wasn't long before they arrived at Aunt Lian's courtyard.

Jiang Li waved to Xie Changan, landed in the yard as lightly as a feather, and tiptoed back to her room.

Xie Changan smiled slightly. This girl's lightness skill was getting better and better. If he didn't use all his strength, he would almost not be able to catch up with her.

In the next few days, Xie Changan was extremely busy.

More and more people are involved in the Zhang Yu case.

The East Factory had to arrest people and find evidence, so the Jinyiwei had to listen in on interrogations and the Dali Temple had to be present as well.

The emperor was bedridden again and could not do without Liao Wuyong, so all the affairs of the East Factory were thrown to Xie Changan, who was very busy.

No matter how busy he was, he still remembered his promise to Jiang Li to buy her Taoranju pastries, so he asked Yinjiu to buy them every day.

It is euphemistically called comforting the brothers. Look at those exquisite little snacks, each one is so delicious that you can guess with your toes who they are bought for.

Jiang Li was smiling happily while eating, but Yin Jiu was frowning, always feeling that the day when he would meet the King of Hell was not far away.

At this time, Concubine Zhou and the Second Prince Nangong Xihe were like trapped beasts in a cage, extremely anxious but helpless. They had to pretend to be indifferent and go to the Emperor and Empress' palace every day to pay their respects and serve them medicine.

Nangong Xihe returned to the prince's mansion and flew into a rage: "Damn Zou Liang! Damn the eunuch from the East Factory!"

The Second Prince's Consort Zheng heard a crackling sound in the study and hurriedly walked in, only to see the floor in a mess.

She quickly ordered the palace servants to pack up, and stepped forward to comfort the Second Prince: "Your Highness, grandfather told you to be patient..."

"Grandfather, Grandfather! What else do you know besides Grandfather all day long?"

Nangong Xihe roared, "I have to obey him in everything. Who is the prince, me or him?"

He looked at her pale face that could only be described as pretty, and became extremely angry.

"If you can't even give birth to a legitimate son, what use are you!"

Zheng felt aggrieved and angry. Could she give birth to a legitimate son by herself?

She couldn't hold back her tears and left with her face covered.

Nangong Xihe was so angry that he smashed another vase, one after another, all of which were useless things!

The East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are keeping their mouths shut, and the lineage of the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest prince's party are pressing forward step by step. Now the Ministry of Revenue is almost wiped out, and half of Zhejiang has been lost. Even the nails that were planted in the Ministry of War with great difficulty have been completely removed because of the indiscriminate attack of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Several years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.

“Half of the taxes in the country come from the south of the Yangtze River,” which shows how rich Zhejiang is.

Without the two major support sources of the Ministry of Revenue and Zhejiang, the Second Prince's party was almost unable to recover.

The only thing that comforted him was that his father still valued him. The only thing he could do now was to ask his mother to do more for him in front of his father.

Intelligence from the Eastern Depot was continuously delivered to Nangong Qinghe, which was like adding wings to the Duke of Zhenguo and others.

As long as the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and Zhejiang Province could pull down one person, they would be able to fill in the gap with their own people in time, which made the Xiao family and other noble families feel very regretful. Why was the Duke of Zhenguo always one step late?

Even Empress Zhang couldn't help but praise him, "Qing'er, I'll remember this man. What does he want? I'll definitely reward him handsomely."

"Your son would like to thank the Queen Mother on her behalf." Nangong Qinghe smiled happily. He was honored that his sweetheart was favored by the Queen.

He wrote to Jiang Li again.

Ah Li, the Queen Mother praises you highly, what do you want? She will reward you handsomely.

He also earnestly reminded her in the letter: "The weather is getting colder, please put on more clothes to keep warm and take care of yourself. I miss you so much, I don't know when we can meet again."

Jiang Li was very happy to receive the letter. The Queen asked her if she wanted anything. Then she would not hesitate.

After Manager Liu arrived in the capital, Jiang Li secretly went to meet him.

It turned out that Fang Yi had left her 50,000 taels of silver and four shops with very good business in Hangzhou.

Jiang Li suddenly became a wealthy woman.

After discussing with Aunt Lian and Steward Liu, she prepared to slowly take back the Fang family's assets from the Jiang family.

Jiang Li asked Manager Liu to find a few shops with better locations in the capital and open a branch of the Hangzhou Prefecture in the capital.

The Jiang family was not good at business and had messed up her mother's business in the capital. As long as Manager Liu opened a few similar shops in the capital, he could drive them into bankruptcy.

At that time, they can take back all the Fang family properties that have been occupied by the Jiang Mansion.

The question is, can you find a shop with a good location in Beijing just by looking for it?

Jiang Li told Nangong Qinghe all about his plan and asked him to ask the Queen for help in finding a few good shops and to help find a few trustworthy and capable shopkeepers to assist Manager Liu.

Nangong Qinghe made arrangements immediately.

With Empress Zhang speaking, everything will go smoothly.

Nangong Qinghe also ordered the Li company to assist Manager Liu, to provide people and money as needed, and to let them choose any shop they wanted.

Manager Liu was worried about not being able to find a suitable shop, but he didn't expect that Li's company would take the initiative to extend an olive branch, and things immediately went incredibly smoothly.

Not long after, Longmen Trading Company opened for business in the capital, with businesses including restaurants, cloth shops, silk and satin shops, and dim sum shops, specializing in Yuhang specialties.

Xie Changan gave Jiang Li a pseudonym "Jiang Li" for public use, and Jiang Li named the company "Longmen Trading Company", which means "carp leaping over the dragon gate".

Jiang Li quietly told the brothers of Yinziwei that this was her family's property, and that they would receive a 20% discount when they patronized the business in the future.

Everyone in Yinziwei was very happy. Little Sixteen was really nice! They were protecting her family's business!

On the opening day of Longmen Trading Company, people from the East Depot came to congratulate, which made the thugs who wanted to cause trouble dare not to do anything. Who would dare to go against the East Depot?

I just don’t know whose industry this is, and it’s actually backed by the East Factory!
