"Haha, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, everyone, please sit down, please sit down."

In the luxurious private room next door, Li Hongyun stood up with a smile and invited him, the distinguished guests, one by one.

"Mr. Li, you are so polite."

"Haha, Mr. Li, you are our role model."

The crowd exchanged greetings and took the seat, and the pretty waitress brought the tea and dessert.

The Haicheng Restaurant was basically discussed word by word by word by word by word by word by word, and it completely adopted the model of later generations, which can be said to be breaking the old rules.

Especially when it comes to using waitresses.

But the waitresses at Haicheng Restaurant are completely different from the girls in the brothel. They are all innocent and good families.

If anyone dares to be unhappy and drink too much, it will be a price that ordinary people can afford.

The wine and food Li Hongyun had already been ordered.

Soon all kinds of delicious dishes are served like flowing water.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Hongyun smiled and brought the matter to the point: "Master Yang, you guys, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, you all think that the case has been decided, right?"

Who can sit here is not a human spirit? How can you not understand Li Hongyun’s deep meaning?

This is to find out everyone’s foundation!

The Xu family’s butler Yang Zhongliang sipped a sip of wine without hesitation and said with a smile: “Mr. Li, we are in a mess now. I think you, a person like Mr. Li, have prepared for a long time, right?”

Yang Zhongliang's words did not give Li Hongyun much face, but Li Hongyun was not angry and said sincerely: "Master Yang, all of you, how do we say the old sayings of our ancestors? The road is far away and we can see people's hearts over time! My old Li is now speaking for nothing, and you guys must not believe it. However, this is also human nature. After all, we are still short of time together."

As he said that, Li Hongyun stood up with a smile, dipped it in some tea, and began to write on the table: "My uncle divided the shogunate into five departments, agriculture, business, civil, navigation, and military. Everyone, everyone understands the meaning, so I, Lao Li, don't need to say much about it. The Navigation and Military Department are definitely nothing we have to do with.

All we can choose are agriculture, business and civil subjects!

If nothing unexpected happens, the land affairs must be assigned to the agricultural department. Business is also the top priority in our Haicheng. Only this civil department, I forgive my uncle for being a little confused, and I will be a little confused about my intentions for a while."

Yang Zhongliang, Zhang Hongqiang, Ma Luan and others whispered to each other.

When Li Hongyun said this, they naturally understood his intention.

Now, the position of military advisor has basically been decided by Li Yan.

Even if they were not convinced by Li Yan, Li Yan was a newcomer, but Li Yan made great efforts in moving the Kaifeng people into Haicheng.

No one can erase such solid achievements.

Not to mention Li Yan's wife, Madam Hong, who has more than 3,000 people under his command, are all good soldiers of the past.

Li Yan had already firmly taken the position of their Kaifeng, or the number one in the Central Plains.

The remaining three large positions are extremely limited.

For example, Zhang Hongqiang, Ma Luan and others competed for the vice-chief of the first department, there was no problem, but it was almost impossible to compete for the head.

Now there is a chance to compete for the three main positions, Li Hongyun calculates one, representing the interests of the Li family in Shanhaiguan.

Yang Zhongliang is one of them, representing the interests of the Xu family, including the people who immigrated from Ji Town.

Another one is Xu Zhong.

It represents the interests of Xu Changqing's direct descendants and many core generals and officials in Liaodong.

But Xu Zhong has not returned from going to Haoao at this time. The real direct competition is Li Hongyun and Yang Zhongliang.

And the two of them, based on their current working conditions, have also gained a certain understanding of their positioning.

Yang Zhongliang thought for a while, then he let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Li, you are a hero. Then I, Lao Yang, don't hide it anymore. I want a location in the agricultural department."

Li Hongyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I guessed it is. But Mr. Yang, to be honest, I also want a location for the agricultural department."

The atmosphere in the venue was suddenly a little

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It became subtle.

Although Yang Zhongliang's face had not changed, his heart was beating uncontrollably.

The location of the agricultural department is too critical!

It can be said that it directly concerns Xu Changqing's foundation!

Even if the quality of the economy is not as good as that of business science, as long as you can take this position, the position of military advisor will be expected in the future!

Both sides began to fall into silence and remain speechless for a long time.

"Tsk, these people are really hypocritical. They look like gentlemen, but who knows what dirty things are doing behind their backs?"

On this side, Tang Yu couldn't help but spat.

As a child, she had no good feelings for these dog officials.

At this time, both of them pressed their ears against the wall here and listened carefully, but it was obviously unhappy. Xu Changqing suddenly smiled and whispered: "Do you want to see what they look like with your own eyes? These are all senior officials in Haicheng."

"Ai?"

"The room is covered with solid wood walls on all sides, what do you think?"

Tang Yu hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing, and was already a little moved.

She is best at this kind of thing and is most familiar with it.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Come with me!"

As he said that, he went out and with the help of the corridor outside, he climbed up to the rooftop in a few seconds.

Because it is going to open quickly, Haicheng Restaurant is just a temporary address at this time. It is simply built in a small place on the edge of their area, basically with wooden structures.

The real Haicheng Restaurant is under rapid construction at this time, not far from next door.

However, the greening here has been made, and green trees are everywhere.

The restaurant's plan is also the appearance of a hotel private room in later generations. The corridor is in the middle and rooms are on both sides.

At this time, Yang Zhongliang and Li Hongyun's private rooms were the most luxurious. On the third floor, one room could cover three or four large units, with separate stairs, doors in the middle, front and rear windows, which provided convenience for Xu Changqing and Tang Yu's peeping.

Although there are people coming and going in front of Haicheng Restaurant, there is a green belt behind it, and many trees are still tall. In addition, there is a light rain outside at this time, so there is no need to worry about being seen.

Soon, with Xu Changqing opening the way in front, the two of them had already arrived at the back window.

Xu Changqing stretched out a finger and gently poked a small hole in the window.

After all, this is a confidential matter. Li Hongyun and Yang Zhongliang were still very alert and only opened the upper window, but not the lower window.

Tang Yu soon came over and opened a small hole next to Xu Changqing.

However, there was no place to step on her feet in this position, so she could only lean towards Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing is not well-off because the lower edge of the wooden building is carved, and the only place where Xu Changqing can step on is this big peony that comes out of the wall.

However, Xu Changqing gave up part of it and let Tang Yu step on this piece.

But this is inevitable that the two of them will be very close.

The rain quickly wet the two of them, but Xu Changqing took off his cloak and put it on Tang Yu's head. He smiled and explained to Tang Yu: "See, the white-bearded one is Li Hongyun, the housekeeper of the Li family in Shanhaiguan. The horse-faced one is Yang Zhongliang. I have always called him Liang Bo, and he is also the housekeeper of our Xu family. That one is..."

Listening to Xu Changqing's introduction, Tang Yu couldn't help but bit her red lips gently, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Are you not afraid of them discussing here?"

"Fear?"

Xu Changqing smiled: "Why are you afraid? Although they are my subordinates, they are still free, right? Besides, this is also for work. Only by understanding some complicated things inside can they be more at ease."

“…”

Tang Yu was speechless again.

She suddenly realized that when talking to Xu Changqing, she often couldn't keep up with Xu Changqing's rhythm.

But when I looked back and thought about it carefully, I found that many of Xu Changqing's things made sense.

The atmosphere in the private room was always very dull. Tang Yu looked at him for a while and lost all his interest. He turned to Xu Changqing, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I, I want to thank you for Xiaomi. Thank you for giving the Xiaomi family and countless people a stable life."

"hehe."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Innocent girl, it's really not easy to hear your praise."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

.They are all people under my rule by Xu Changqing. It is my responsibility to let them live a good life! I have no choice but to do it!"

“…”

Tang Yu couldn't help but give Xu Changqing a blank look.

This dead man is so arrogant that he looks like he is, he will be brilliant if he gives some sunshine.

However, somehow, such close communication, especially the cloak above her head, which could shelter from the wind and rain, made her heart soften.

Xu Changqing looked at Tang Yu's pretty face and became much gentler for a moment.

Before, I just treated this little girl as a pawn, but at this time, as I contacted her, the deeper I got to know her, Xu Changqing fell in love with this indescribable way. She was clearly engaged in a super dangerous profession, but she was a simple and cute little girl.

Mu Ran, the two of them had eyes in exchange, and Tang Yu's pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and he spat softly: "You, what are you looking at? Are there any flowers on my face?"
