Du Qi finished his work and was not in a hurry to leave. In the evening, Qianxue and Li Yanyun returned to the General Manager's Mansion together. Du Qi asked Liu Jian to call Li Yanyun over.
Li Yanyun was quite capable now.
Even though she was young, her temperament and the way she dressed gave off a mature feeling.
This was the experience of the business world.
After all, Li Yanyun worked with Qianxue every day. She had seen too many fickleness of human nature and was used to the intrigue in the business world. These things made Li Yanyun mature quickly.
Li Yanyun enjoyed it.
She liked such days.
She felt fulfilled.
Li Yanyun said, "Elder brother, why did you call me here? What's the matter?"
Du Qi said, "The end of the year is approaching. I have to go back to Chang 'an to take charge of the ancestral worship at the Du family's ancestral house at the end of the year. You have been here for about half a year. This time, I will go south. Are you willing to go back to Chang 'an with me? "
Li Yanyun immediately said, "No, I have to deal with many business affairs with Sister Qianxue. Especially at the end of the year, there are more things to do. I can't leave. "
Du Qi chuckled and asked, "Yanyun, are you really not going back to Chang 'an to see your parents?"
"No!"
Li Yanyun answered firmly.
She was now focusing on her career. She could not go back at this critical time.
Li Yanyun suddenly said, "Brother, after you return to Chang 'an, please say hello to them for me. Well, if they are willing to come to Gate of Yan, please invite them to come and play. "
Du Qi's cheeks twitched. Li Yanyun, this little girl, was really open-minded. But this was also good. She lived happily and had her own things to do.
Now was the time when Li Yanyun liked to do things.
Li Yanyun told Du Qi again and asked Du Qi to be careful when he went south. Then she went back to her room.
Du Qi did not feel anything.
Li Yanyun was still young.
It was great to have something to do.
The next day, early morning.
After Du Qi finished packing, he left the Gate of Yan and headed south to return to Chang 'an. This time, among the people who followed Du Qi to the south, Jin Wuque stayed behind at the Gate of Yan. Liu Jian, Mordor, Liu Zhengxi, and Xiao Yuanqi led more than a hundred people to escort Du Qi.
To ensure Du Qi's safety.
The imperial guards led by Wei Daxiong also stayed at the Gate of Yan. The reason was simple. When the one hundred Imperial Guards came to Yanmen, most of them were commanders without an army. None of them had a woman with them.
Even though they had homes in Chang 'an, they rarely went home when they were in Chang' an. After all, they had to be stationed in the Imperial City.
Most of the hundred of them in the Gate of Yan now had families and women. Especially in the Gate of Yanmen, there was nothing to do. They could do their own things, so they were not willing to go back to Chang 'an. They might as well stay at the Gate of Yanmen.
Du Qi's journey to the south was smooth. However, when he was in Taiyuan Prefecture, Du Qi did not go south directly. Instead, he went to the Wang Family of Taiyuan Prefecture. When he arrived at the Wang Family of Taiyuan Prefecture, the new head of the family, Wang Yu, personally came to welcome Du Qi.
Now, the Wang Family had been reorganized. They were all people who wanted peace and did not want to be enemies with Du Qi. The rest of the people who wanted to fight had been dealt with by Wang Yu and Wang Qiao.
Wang Yu brought Du Qi into the Wang Family and set up a banquet to welcome Du Qi.
After the banquet, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.
When the people of the Wang Family returned, only Du Qi, Wang Qiao, and Wang Yu were left in the main hall.
Du Qi said, "Let's talk in the study."
"Yes!"
Wang Yu replied immediately.
He led Du Qi into the study. After the three of them took their seats, Wang Yu put on a fawning smile and said, "Young Master, you passed by Taiyuan Prefecture on your way south. This is your first time in the Wang Family, so you can stay in Taiyuan Prefecture for a few days.
"There are many scenic spots and historical sites in Taiyuan Prefecture. It's very good.
"Especially now that the weather is cold and there's wind and snow, the places are covered in silver. The scenery is very good. When the time comes, I'll take Young Master around to see the surrounding scenery. "
Wang Yu seemed very enthusiastic.
They were all people who had submitted to Du Qi.
Du Qi shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. I came to the Wang Family for two things that I need your help with."
Wang Yu said, "Please speak, Young Master."
Du Qi said, "The first thing is that I need the information of all the people in the Eastern Palace with the five surnames and seven ranks. Anyone who works in the Eastern Palace with the five surnames and seven ranks must be recorded. "
"Hiss!"
Wang Yu sucked in a breath of cold air with a grave expression.
This was very difficult!
If he wanted the people of the Wang Family in the Eastern Palace, it would be relatively easy. The problem was that it wasn't an easy task to gather the information of all the people from the other five surnames and seven looks.
Wang Yu said, "Young Master, this is not easy to do. After all, many of the major clans are not affected by our Wang Family. It is very difficult to find out such information. "
Du Qi said, "I don't care. One of you is the patriarch of the Wang Family, and the other is the assistant patriarch. Both of you hold great power and enjoy many benefits."
"Now that you are in the Wang Family, your lives can be said to be extremely comfortable. Since you enjoy the benefits, you must bear the responsibility and do things. If you don't do things, what use are you? "
Du Qi said domineeringly, "I might as well kill you or ruin your reputation."
Wang Yu and Wang Qiao looked at each other helplessly.
Both of them had secrets that could be used against them.
If Du Qi wanted to deal with them, it would be easy for him to do so. Thus, they could not refute Du Qi's proposal.
Wang Yu's eyes darted around. After some thought, he said, "Young Master, this matter is truly not easy. It can't be done in a short time."
"But since it's Young Master's plan, the Wang Family will do our best to help."
"What I mean is, Young Master, please give us some time. Young Master, aren't you heading south to Chang 'an? Within three days after you enter Chang' an, I will arrange for someone to deliver the information to you. "
"There are still a few days between Young Master's departure from Taiyuan Prefecture and your arrival in Chang 'an. I will arrange for the Wang Family to do their best to gather information. With so much time, you should be able to take care of things. "
Wang Yu suggested.
He could not immediately deliver the information, so he could only try to buy some time.
Du Qi said, "I'll give you time to prepare."
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Many thanks, Young Master. Many thanks."
For better or for worse, he had managed to pacify Du Qi.
With enough time, it would not be too difficult to mobilize the Wang Family's forces to gather information about the other clans in the Eastern Palace. It would just take some time.
Wang Yu asked, "Young Master, what about the second matter?"
Du Qi said, "The second matter is that I'm heading south to Chang 'an to have an audience with the emperor. I've heard that the Wang Family's storehouse is filled with endless wealth and treasures. I need an aged ginseng, the older the better. This shouldn't be too difficult for the Wang Family. "
"Not at all, not at all!"
Wang Yu immediately replied.
It really was not difficult for the Wang Family. In truth, with Du Qi's wealth, it would be easy for him to purchase ginseng. But since a major clan like the Wang Family was here, he naturally had to make use of it.
Besides, the ginseng he purchased might not be as good as the Wang Family's.
After all, the Wang Family's resources were still there.
Wang Yu continued, "Young Master, the best ginseng in the Wang Family's storehouse is, according to the description of the ginseng picker, about nine hundred years old and weighing one catty and eight qian. This old ginseng has been sealed and preserved in a cool storehouse all this time. Since Young Master needs it, we naturally have to offer it to you. "
Du Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
A ginseng nearly a thousand years old.
This was priceless. Ginseng of this age was extremely rare. It was easy to find a ginseng that was one or two hundred years old, or even two or three hundred years old, but it was not easy to find one that was more than nine hundred years old.
Du Qi said, "Then I'll have to thank you."
