After practicing yoga, Yang Guifei had something to do. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang came to the third spring. With the passion and blood, his body and mind were refreshed. Yang Guifei was also very satisfied. She was shy and could not be used. Rewards were necessary.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang not only rewarded a bunch of gold, silver and cloth, but also added two false positions to Li Fei. In addition, he granted Li Fei's son Li Rui the county marquis, which was really very favored, especially Li Fei's son Li Rui, who was not one year old, was already a marquis, and envied many civil and military officials to death.

"This is an unexpected surprise. Your Majesty cannot refuse. Actually, I, Li Fei, dare not take it." That's right, but Li Fei's slutty look seemed to betray him. His son is less than one year old, so don't mention how proud he is.

It is actually a matter of time before a marquis can be kept by his godmother Yang Guifei often carried in the palace.

For the next period of time, Li Fei's life was very regular, and he should eat, drink, go to court and go to Jingzhao Yamen to do business. This was the case every day. In this way, almost a month passed again.

The summer grain has begun to be harvested, and this year is another bumper year.

With the monopoly of the pearls among the blue and white porcelain, the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce has become bigger and bigger, and Cao Xiaozhong and Xiao Ruoshui are becoming more and more skillful and tacit. Because of Li Fei, although Cao Xiaozhong is not from the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce, he is now the absolute number two person of the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce.

Although Cao Xiaozhong usually looks very smart, he does have the talent for doing business. Even if he doesn't care about Li Fei's face, the people from the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce admire Cao Xiaozhong very much. He is willing to recognize his status from the bottom of his heart.

During this period, when Li Fei saw Cao Xiaozhong again, this guy was already covered in a stinking smell of money, which looked no different from other wealthy businessmen.

"Brother, you miss me so much." Cao Xiaozhong excitedly gave Li Fei a big hug.

Cao Xiaozhong was able to get along with Li Fei like a brother because of Cao Xiaozhong's temperament. He treated Li Fei as a brother and did not see him because of Li Fei's identity. He ate and drank, howling and cried. However, Li Fei asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he did his best not to disappoint Li Fei.

"I'm happy today. I'll cook myself and let's have a meal." Li Fei smiled.

"That's great." Cao Xiaozhong's eyes were shiny, and his saliva almost didn't come out.

In the past, Cao Xiaozhong was just a little fat, but now he is like a wealthy businessman and has gained a lot of weight. He is no longer a little fat, but a big fat.

Xiao Ruoshui also came with her. As the helmsman of Qiqing Chamber of Commerce, the famous woman in Chang'an City brought a lot of benefits to Li Fei. Li Fei valued her very much and was not seen outside.

Seeing Cao Xiaozhong and Li Fei get along, Xiao Ruoshui kept smiling on his face.

Although Li Fei is a dignified Duke, the adopted son of the imperial concubine, and also holds seven positions including Jingzhao Yin, for businessmen like Xiao Ruoshui, Li Fei's identity is extremely noble, but Li Fei never acts like a duke and does not look down on their businessmen. This makes Xiao Ruoshui admire him very much. She is not at all resistant to the fact that she often comes to Li Fei's mansion with Cao Xiaozhong.

After drinking and eating, Cao Xiaozhong talked to Li Fei about the business of the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce, the opening of the business path, the profits earned in recent months, etc.

"Brother, as you told me, the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce should try its best to open up commercial roads in Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong. With your name to protect it, it went very smoothly. With the monopoly of blue and white porcelain, the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce has also surpassed the Datong Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan to become the largest chamber of commerce in the world." Although Li Fei's power is not as good as Li Linfu and is much worse than Yang Guozhong, everyone is willing to give him face to the title of Yang Guifei's adopted son and Duke of Wu. The Qiqing Chamber of Commerce has developed smoothly with his name.

Li Fei nodded. In fact, Cao Xiaozhong had asked him why he chose those three places, not those truly prosperous places in the world, such as Jiangnan, Guanzhong, and Shu. Li Fei did not explain that he could not say that in the future, An Lushan would serve as the governor of these three places and rebel with these three places as the base.

There are less than five years left. Li Fei sighed in his heart. He had already started to make arrangements, and he just hoped that he could successfully avoid the chaos that swept half of the Tang Dynasty.

When he thought of the chaos, Li Fei inevitably thought of the ending of his godmother Yang Guifei. Every time he thought of him, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He might be able to avoid it smoothly by relying on the foresight, but his godmother Yang Guifei could not avoid it no matter what. His godmother Yang Guifei was very nice to him, and he really respected him as his mother. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see his godmother Yang Guifei ending as tragic as in history.

"Brother, what are you thinking? You're so melancholy?" Cao Xiaozhong asked strangely when he noticed Li Fei's expression.

"It's nothing." Li Fei shook his head, unwilling to say more. There is still some time left, and the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. Perhaps at that time, he may not be able to think of a complete solution.

Cao Xiaozhong looked at Li Fei suspiciously, and then continued to talk proudly, telling his achievements.

"Brother, I need your help in something, about Zhang Yuanming's son." As he said that, Cao Xiaozhong's face suddenly became a little chilled when he spoke.

"That turtle son is causing trouble for you?" Li Fei asked.

"Hmph, that guy happened to see me on the street one day. He knew that I was working in the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce, so he came to me twice to cause trouble. He didn't see what he was. Although his father was promoted to two levels and was transferred to Chang'an City, he was no longer a local emperor like Xunyang County. It was basically considered to be a starting point. Zhang Yuanming could not rely on his father to do whatever he wanted in Chang'an City. He was not a big deal in Chang'an City. He would only curry favor with the son of the prime minister and bully some civilians who had no background to find their presence. It's fine, it's not my business, but unexpectedly, the son of the turtle found me again. He went to the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce twice to act as a mighty man, and I can't let him go." Cao Xiaozhong sneered. He did not tell Zhang Yuanming that the backstage of the Qing Chamber of Commerce was Li Fei, and he deliberately planned to let Zhang Yuanming come to the Qiqing Chamber of Commerce to find his trouble.

"I know what you mean." Li Fei nodded and smiled.

When he was in Xunyang County, his father Cao Chong was framed by Zhang Yuanming's father Zhang Fucheng. Not only did he lose his position as county magistrate, but his family's property was cheated. Cao Xiaozhong always remembered that revenge.

"Next time Zhang Yuanming goes to cause trouble for you, you will hold him back, and I will let him be a good person in the future. Also, his father is not Yang Guozhong's refugee. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanming himself went to curry favor with Li Xiu, the son of Prime Minister Li Linfu. I am afraid that Zhang Fucheng is not at ease with whether Yang Guozhong can beat Li Linfu, and wants to be a fence-bearer to leave a way out for himself. In the situation like Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, the most taboo thing is to please both sides. If Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu both know about this, they will definitely not be as good as their father and son."

When Li Fei said this, Cao Xiaozhong's eyes had already lit up.
