I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 153

At the beginning, Chu Lishu found out some subtleties in order to investigate why Marquis An Nan didn't wait to see Lin Qingyang.

Originally thought it was because of Lin Qingyang's other half of blood, An Nanhou had scruples, but now they have no heirs to choose from, unless the second and third children inherit, An Nanhou shouldn't see Lin Qingyang so powerful It is still so taboo to perform, so there must be other reasons.

Before this kind of matter was fully investigated, Chu Lishu naturally didn't want to bother Lin Qingyang, since Liu Jingchen came, the matters of the Liu family should be handed over to Liu Jingchen.

After a while, Lin Qingyang came over. Seeing Chu Lishu eating breakfast, he was a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, having such a dream really offended the hero, but he habitually sat at the big round table Sit down next to Chu Lishu.

At this time Liu Jingchen started to talk about family affairs, he decided to buy the nearby house as the new Liu Mansion.

For one thing, it's so close to the other courtyard, it's convenient to come and go, Aunt Liu has a good relationship with Lord Yawen, so she will definitely stay here often.It is also equivalent to verifying the reason given to the emperor to come back to accompany relatives.Secondly, although they were allowed to return to the capital, after all, they were criminals and lived in too central an area, afraid of being troubled by others. Except for the people in other courtyards, they were relatives of Aunt Liu. I won't come and go anymore. Living here, there are fewer people, so there will be less trouble.

Lin Qingyang was naturally happy to see the results. After all, he and Chu Lishu were often in the palace, and they could rest assured that cousin Liu would take care of them at home.

Lin Qingyang ate for a while before realizing that Lin Qinglan hadn't come. Normally, if they were at home, Lin Qinglan would definitely have breakfast with them.

Lin Qingyang asked Shuncai suspiciously, but Shuncai said that Lin Qinglan had breakfast with the two elders at the Lord Yawen's side.

Lin Qingyang didn't think much about it, but when he turned his head, he found that Liu Jingchen's eating posture paused.Lin Qingyang realized that since yesterday, Liu Jingchen and Lin Qinglan had hardly spoken alone.

When naming the chamber of commerce, Lin Qingyang was tentative, but after meeting each other, Lin Qingyang didn't want to make things difficult for his elder sister. They are both adults, and they still have to deal with some things by themselves.

Suddenly, Chu Lishu who was next to him said, "Big Cousin's craftsmanship is still so good, and she did a lot today. She must have been busy early in the morning."

Liu Jingchen, who had had breakfast for a while, was planning to stop his chopsticks, but when he heard this sentence, he turned his chopsticks in one direction, and began to try styles that he hadn't tried before.

Lin Qingyang blinked, and couldn't help but smile at Chu Lishu.

In the first few days at home, Lin Qingyang helped Liu Jingchen prepare for the move. After all, he moved from Jiangnan, and there were still many things to deal with, while Chu Lishu's whereabouts during the day remained a mystery as always.Seeing this, Liu Jingchen intended to inquire about it, but seeing that his cousin was used to it, calm and composed, he didn't say anything.

A few days later, before Lin Qingyang returned to the palace, the emperor suddenly summoned Liu Jingchen again.

The mansion was quite nervous when they got the news, thinking that something went wrong, the emperor was looking for a reason to let them go, which made Lin Qingyang a little nervous.

After waiting in the mansion for a long time, Liu Jingchen came back from the palace, holding the imperial decree in his hands, with a dazed expression on his face.

Everyone came up to ask worriedly, Liu Jingchen glanced at Lin Qingyang inexplicably, and then happily announced to everyone: "The emperor has rewarded you with grace again."

A few days ago, when Liu Jingchen received the reward for lifting the ban and left, the emperor immediately sent people to publicize the donation of the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to use the power of an example to irritate other chambers of commerce and let them know that donating money is beneficial. Look at the Liu family. No matter how many crimes they have committed, the emperor can pardon them, so as to encourage merchants to pay actively.

The matter of the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce naturally spread all over the business world immediately, and was praised by the common people and scholars. Even Cao Lao wrote a poem to praise the generous feat of the merchants for the national calamity. For businessmen with 'low' social status, it is even more valuable, so the emperor also thanked Mr. Cao, thinking that he was helping him.

But after a few days, the emperor was dumbfounded, because not many people donated money at all, and the donations were still the small amount that was only enough to fit between teeth in the past.The emperor was stunned and didn't understand, what was going on?Hurry up and let people lurk to investigate and see what those businessmen think.

It was only at this time that I realized that the emperor spread some information in order to test whether his decree to reward businessmen was feasible, and this news has already spread to the business community, and everyone knows that donating money may be beneficial. All kinds of benefits, but the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce donated so much, just lifted the ban?This made other businessmen feel uncertain. They were either criminal ministers or ordinary businessmen. Who knew what the emperor would reward after they donated?

Especially the outside world still publicizes the credit of the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce so much that even Mr. Cao wrote poems. Since it is really so powerful, isn't this kind of "reward" too stingy? To fool them with their fame, even if they donate, they will not get the real benefits for the businessmen?

Merchants are all profit-seeking. The tricks you played on public opinion will only make me think that this transaction deserves more rewards. What's the use of talking about it?After the flood, it is not known how many merchants were affected, so the good name is naturally not as good as the actual benefits.

So the businessmen stopped at the wait-and-see stage again, and no one wanted to take the first step at a disadvantage.

The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard what the merchants were thinking. He wanted to save a fortune, but in the end he lost his wife and lost his army. It was because he didn't understand the mentality of those merchants enough, so he had no other choice but to send Liu Jingchen away. Get it back, according to his donation amount, it is worth the highest level of rewards.

Therefore, the title of imperial merchant, royal project cooperation, various green channels for overseas border transactions, and tax reduction and exemption were all written into the imperial decree.

To sum it up in one sentence, as long as Liu Jingchen doesn't get confused and works hard, he will only make money at any time in the future without losing money, and his career will last forever.

Since the way of fooling around before didn’t work, the emperor told all the merchants in one breath that there are so many benefits in donating so much. Naturally, the benefits will be less if you donate less, but even if it is small, it is the best future for the merchants. investment.If everyone is greedy, they will pretend to be leeks and wait for the emperor to cut them.At that time, the emperor can further reduce the reward to make a big profit.But this time, the emperor's plan went smoothly and he received a steady stream of donations.

But the only one who got the most benefit was Liu Jingchen.

And it is impossible for the emperor to doubt Liu Jingchen. After all, Liu Jingchen came to donate before the reward decree was formed. Everything is a coincidence, the Liu family is just lucky.

But Liu Jingchen held back Lin Qingyang, and said sincerely, "Chu Lishu is really a god."

Lin Qingyang was proud and anxious, "Of course!"

When floods are prone to occur, those who have devoted themselves to the study of water control will definitely find some patterns in the past years, and they will also be alert in the first year. Chu Lishu is such a person. He has long guessed that there will be serious disasters this year. When I made friends with Liu Jingchen, I had already reminded him to prepare all the supplies needed for disaster relief early, and told him the chance to exchange donations for them.

The treasury will be short of money for disaster relief, and merchants will not easily donate money. The emperor must find a way to stimulate the chamber of commerce, how to operate to obtain the greatest benefits, and how to seize the opportunity to act in a timely manner. Only Chu Lishu can do all of this.

From now on, there will be no chamber of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty to contend with Chen Lan. The Liu family is really proud. Even if they cannot be officials in the court, the clan members will not be able to bully them in the future, but will actively want to do it with them. Business.

And Chu Lishu once said that Liu Jingchen was required to win more than half of the wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty within two years, and now there is less than a year and a half left. At first, Liu Jingchen thought that some Arabian Nights stories were extremely difficult, but now he feels... No Disaster.

Everyone's interest this night was even happier than the night of the comeback.

Especially Liu Jingchen, who got drunk straight away, as if he finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

Halfway through drinking, Chu Lishu rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, Lin Qingyang jumped over happily, and gave Chu Lishu a big hug with the strength of wine.

"You're amazing, Chu Lishu!" Lin Qingyang was in high spirits, hugged gently by Chu Lishu, and said with a smile, "So happy?"

"Of course, I'm going to become a rich man." Although I am usually quite rich, but thinking about the future of the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce, as long as the male lead doesn't blacken and take it back, then my level of wealth is completely different, and I will be a group of people. I want to call him daddy.

He hurriedly pulled Chu Lishu to sit down and drink. Chu Lishu also echoed his interest, but the moment he sat down, Lin Qingyang smelled the smell of blood.

Lin Qingyang's face changed in an instant, but seeing Chu Lishu's indifferent face, as if he was about to receive Liu Jingchen's toast, Lin Qingyang reached out and grabbed Chu Lishu's wrist, pulling him to close go outside.

"We're tired, let's go back and rest first."

When the others saw this scene, they were blank at first, and then all of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Chu Lishu just came back!They don't even give people a chance to sit down and drink. Lin Qingyang must have drunk too much, so he yells in such a hurry... It's a bit too much.

Chu Lishu was dragged all the way to the door by Lin Qingyang, but he couldn't keep up.

"Stop drinking?" Chu Lishu asked doubtfully.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Qingyang quickly stopped and looked back at Chu Lishu, "Are you injured?"

Chu Lishu was taken aback, then sniffed, "Sorry for disturbing your pleasure."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you..." Lin Qingyang wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't know whether he should ask.

"Working for Prime Minister Li, I got hurt a little bit, so it's okay." Chu Lishu said directly.

"Where is the injury? It's not serious. Do you want to call the old man... Forget it, he drank too much again. Go back and lie down. I'll go outside and find a doctor for you."

"Internal injuries plus a little bit of external injury, it's inconvenient for people around to know, and it's an injury that I can handle by myself, so don't worry." Seeing Lin Qingyang's serious look, Chu Lishu couldn't help but smile: "Today's matter I've heard that you go back to have a drink with Cousin Liu, and I'll go back to recuperate, that's fine."

Lu Yiyi could hurt him even if he followed him ten times. He must have encountered a lot of trouble. Thinking about the recent plot, could it be... the part of the cottage?

It seems that the hero's plan is going to be carried out again.

"I've had enough of drinking just now, let's go, I'll take you back and see if there is anything I can do to help." Lin Qingyang said.

With that said, Lin Qingyang was about to follow Chu Lishu back to the yard, but Chu Lishu walked a little slowly.

Lin Qingyang didn't know what his injury was, so he ran to Chu Lishu and squatted down, "Can you carry it?"

Chu Lishu's eyes flickered, and he smiled and lay down on his stomach.

Lin Qingyang hurriedly carried his back steadily, when suddenly Chu Lishu's breath came from his ears, and he said softly, "Cousin, that's great." Lin Qingyang's legs almost went limp.

"I...Of course I'm fine." Lin Qingyang said in a rough voice immediately.

"Then I will trouble my cousin to change my medicine later. I just dealt with it briefly in the Prime Minister's Mansion before." Chu Lishu said.

"What kind of injury?"

"A stab wound to the chest."

Lin Qingyang's breath stagnated, "Then I can still recite it?!"

"I avoided it, it doesn't get in the way, and the wound is very shallow."

Lin Qingyang directly changed the direction and walked, "Go to my side, it's cool on my side in such a hot day, just let the wound dry, it will heal quickly."

"It's not...it doesn't have to be like this."

On his side, Chu Lishu only stayed for one night, and then he didn't.In the end, I still have to communicate with Lu Yiyi at any time, probably because I think it is inconvenient to live with him.

"I don't live with you, in case I touch your wound while I'm sleeping, we live in exchange until you recover from your injury."

Chu Lishu was silent.

"What about internal injuries?" Lin Qingyang asked again, he knew Chu Lishu's taboo, even if it was the old doctor in the medicine house at home, Chu Lishu would not let him feel the pulse, and at most treat some external injuries.

"It can be recovered automatically."

Lin Qingyang was just about to say that's fine, when he heard Chu Lishu say quietly: "But it's better to have someone take care of you to avoid sudden emergencies, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, etc. during sleep, but I can't sleep with someone else next to me. So cousin... let's live together, the bed is so big, we can't touch it."

Lin Qingyang's body felt numb when he heard this faint voice, what else could he not agree to.Instinctively, it should be done.

The courtyard is not big, after a while, Lin Qingyang carried the man back to his own courtyard and drove away all the servants.

Seeing this situation, everyone has become accustomed to it, and prepared some necessary washing utensils for the host, and hurriedly retreated far away.

It wasn't until Lin Qingyang put him on the bed that he realized that Chu Lishu hadn't moved.

In this situation, I don't know if he is asleep or in a coma, but hearing his breathing evenly and showing no signs of pain, he should be asleep.

Lin Qingyang could only make other preparations first, and then tried to wake up Chu Lishu, but Chu Lishu was sleeping soundly, as if he was not ready to wake up.

This was embarrassing for Lin Qingyang. After hesitating for a long time, he stretched out his trembling paws and untied Chu Lishu's shirt.

This time, there were no undue ripples, because Lin Qingyang was already attracted by the wound on Chu Lishu's chest.

The muslin used for the bandage was already soaked in blood. When he untied the muslin and sprinkled the sore medicine on it, Lin Qingyang had to sadly think that it might be the result of his violent hug that caused him to bleed again.

Didn't Chu Lishu know how to avoid it?Or move too fast.

There was indeed a long knife wound under the fine cloth, which was not serious compared to the injuries he had suffered before. According to Chu Lishu's physique, it would heal in a few days without leaving any scars.This is also the magic of this body, as if any injuries would not leave marks on it, otherwise depending on the extent of the male lead's injuries, his body would definitely be covered in scars.

Now that Chu Lishu fell asleep, Lin Qingyang tried to be as gentle as possible, carefully changed his dressing, tried not to hurt him, and then let him lie down with his wound open.

Seeing that there was still some dust on his face, he got up to fetch hot water and wiped his face clean. While wiping, he couldn't help sighing that his five sense organs were absolutely perfect, just like wiping away the dust on a dusty pearl. It's like catching a glimpse of something beautiful in the world.

He also wiped his exposed upper body by the way. After all, it was still hot in summer. Lin Qingyang took off Chu Lishu's outer pants, but he didn't dare to move inside. He always felt a little psychologically uncomfortable, but When giving Chu Lishu slippers, he still felt that a soak would make him feel better, so he got hot water to soak Chu Lishu's feet.

This was supposed to be a servant's job, but Lin Qingyang didn't have any psychological barriers. He just wanted to let Chu Lishu rest comfortably, and it was not convenient for the servants to see Chu Lishu's situation, so Lin Qingyang did it himself. up.

After drying Chu Lishu's feet, he gently adjusted his posture so that he could lie flat and sleep well.

After finishing everything, Lin Qingyang had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and happily went to take a bath by himself.

After returning, Lin Qingyang didn't climb into bed at all. He said that he was serious about being afraid of touching Chu Lishu's wound, so he arranged a row of chairs nearby and slept on the chairs, so that even if something happened to Chu Lishu in the middle of the night due to internal injuries Symptoms, he can also find.

In the dead of night, when Lin Qingyang fell asleep, Chu Lishu on the bed slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at someone who was sleeping sweetly on the chair outside the bed, his black eyes were shining with brilliance, anyone who saw it would be surprised You can see the affection in it.

In fact, he was just teasing Lin Qingyang secretly. He wanted to enjoy the feeling of being treated with care by his lover. As long as he was awake, Lin Qingyang would be embarrassed and would not take his clothes off, let alone wipe his face. He died, but Chu Lishu did not expect that Lin Qingyang would take care of him so meticulously that he couldn't bear to interrupt him several times, but he couldn't bear to part with this special treatment that belonged to him alone.

Chu Lishu came to Lin Qingyang's side, bowed his head and kissed Lin Qingyang, and lingered on Lin Qingyang's lips for a while, until he heard Lin Qingyang humming, he couldn't help it The corners of his mouth were raised and he moved away, wanting to hug him back to the bed, but a voice suddenly came from above, "Master, you are injured, you are still a subordinate..."

"You're injured too, it's time to go to rest." Chu Lishu said lightly, regardless of the wound, bent down and hugged Lin Qingyang back to the bed, and then lay down by himself.

Lu Yi knew that the master didn't want to be disturbed, so he could only leave in a hidden form. Anyway, the master must be safe by Lin Qingyang's side.But he was quite shocked just now. Lin Qingyang, a dignified young master of the Marquis Mansion, can take care of his master like this regardless of his status. He really loves his master to the core.

Lin Qingyang was in a daze, as if he heard someone talking.

Suddenly there was a ding in my mind.
