Chapter 411: Can't bear to blame
"Brother Liu, I, I just thought that if the imperial court sends troops to attack, it will definitely need food, and now the price of food is rising faster and faster, so I want to stock up more food, so that there will not be no military food by then, I am Didn't you do something wrong?" Chen Li said weakly, her eyes sparkling with grievance and affection, and her pitiful look made people unbearable to blame.
Chen Li is a flexible and capable woman. She used to be a little self-reliant and proud because of her specialness, but after several blows, she gradually understood the truth, that is, in ancient times, which she thought was backward and looked down upon, it was not so easy to get along. The ancients were more powerful and difficult to fool than she imagined, so she gradually corrected her position and attitude. After surviving in the workplace for so many years,
Chen Li is a relatively strong woman, and it is rare to show such a weak side on weekdays. Seeing Chen Li like this, Liu Xiu also felt a little soft-hearted. Moreover, Chen Li's reasons were good, and she seemed to really care about Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu didn't know Chen Li's identity. Apart from this, she really couldn't find any reason for Chen Li to do this. It was rare that Chen Li was not doing it for profit this time, but just to help him. For a while, she was still a little touched, and she only blamed her. Much less. After all, Chen Li is just a woman. She can only think of a limited number of things. She would be worried about the rumors of an attack by the imperial court, so it is normal for her to act like this.
"You did something wrong. The rumor that the imperial court was going to send troops to attack made people panic, and even affected the morale of the army. I finally used methods to calm it down, but I didn't know that you were buying grain on a large scale and raising the price of grain. The skyrocketing price has confirmed that rumor. Now that it's happening like this, what you did is really too reckless." Although Liu Xiu relented, he still had to say what needed to be said.
Chen Li was actually relieved when she heard what Liu Xiu said. Liu Xiu was still willing to preach to her, which showed that her strategy of mourning the soldiers worked. Although Liu Xiu was angry, he did not give up on his own intention. This was easy to handle. .
Regardless of what Chen Li was thinking, after hearing Liu Xiu's words, the look on her face became more and more ashamed: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I was so excited after hearing those rumors, and I just thought about how to help Brother Liu. , but good intentions lead to bad things.”
Chen Li paused as she spoke, and then said: "Brother Liu, I know you are angry. You hit me and scold me and I admit it. But now that things have happened, these are of no help. I still want to think about how to make up for it." Okay, I was the one who caused this, and I will do my best if I can."
Chen Li said this with great sincerity. She really meant to make up for her mistakes, and she even wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get involved in Liu Xiu's affairs outside. The reason why she didn't mention it before was just that the time was not right, and it depends on Liu Xiu's The attitude is not willing for her to participate. This time is not a good opportunity. If she can participate in a man's external affairs, her status will definitely be different in time.
"It's good that you have this intention. You should know some propriety when doing things in the future. If you can't make up your mind, don't make your own decisions and cause such a big mess. For the sake of past friendship, I will spare you this time. Next time, don't blame me for not showing affection." Liu Xiu also gave an ultimatum. As for Chen Li's offer of help, Liu Xiu didn't take it to heart at all. The matter has reached this point, so why is it Chen Li? A female prostitute can help. His understanding of Chen Li's abilities means that he thinks this woman is very capable in business.
Chen Li has been with Liu Xiu for so long. Although she doesn't fully understand Liu Xiu, she still has a general understanding of the man's character. These ancients despised women. If she doesn't show some skills, Liu Xiu will not let her. Opportunities to intervene in outside affairs.
She didn't care that much before, she just wanted to show off her talents in business and make a fortune. If she had money, she would have everything. Later, she gradually realized how naive her idea was. Having been here in ancient times for so long, I also understand some facts. Ancient times are not as good as modern times. The status of merchants is really low. If she is just an ordinary merchant, even if she has achieved the ultimate, turning the pots full of money, she will still be nothing. She is just a business woman who has no reputation, so she must make plans in advance. Whether in ancient times or modern times, the word power is very important.
Chen Li thought this way, based on the history she knew, plus some recent events, she talked with Liu Xiu for a long time, and explained in detail the reason why Liu Xiu was so reckless and eager to buy grain. After hearing this, his eyes were a little deep, and he didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes towards Chen Li changed again.
Chen Li let Liu Xiu look at her with a magnanimous look, and then she made an affectionate look: "I know it would be inappropriate for a woman like me to talk about things in the court, but these are troubled times, and it's nothing like ordinary times." Sometimes, I just want to do my best to help you.”
"It's not that I don't want to discuss the purchase of grain with you. I'm just afraid that you'll blame me for being too busy. I thought I'd take out the grain when it's ready for use, but I didn't know something would go wrong. I'm too eager for quick success. , which caused the current situation. I am too conceited and overestimate my abilities. I will discuss everything with you in the future. "
Liu Xiu nodded, and acquiesced to Chen Li's words. He was actually a little shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Li had such insight and had such a deep understanding of the court's situation. Since Chen Li had this idea, he didn't agree. No, even though Liu Xiu knew in his heart that a woman like Chen Li was definitely not here for the so-called true love, he didn't care. It was just mutual benefit.
Liu Xiu was a very open-minded person in many aspects, especially in employing people, so even if Chen Li was just a woman, he was willing to use her with such ability, of course, this also had a bottom line. As for the possibility of being deceived by Chen Li, it did not exist. Not to mention that Chen Li's appearance was only considered above average, even if she was the daughter of the Yin family, she was unparalleled in talent and beauty. Liu Xiu showed admiration in public, but it was just admiration, and it did not affect his mind. What he showed in front of others was mostly for his own ambitions and great cause.
When talking about the extraordinary beauty of Miss Yin, Liu Xiu's heart was slightly moved, but in his mind he remembered the beautiful figure who saved him when he was forced into a desperate situation that day. Even though so much time has passed, he still can't forget it. Instead, it's like something has taken root in his heart. Everyone says that Miss Yin is unparalleled in talent and beauty, and is the most beautiful woman in Yiyang Prefecture, but Liu Xiu always remembers the woman's voice, appearance and smile. In terms of beauty, even Miss Yin is inferior to her. Moreover, the woman was able to save himself, a stranger, which shows that she is kind-hearted.
