After the military meeting ended, Li Dingguo immediately sent his confidants to contact Qicheng.
He sees this as a perfect opportunity to prove himself.
Wen Anzhi trusted him so much, and he would never let Wen Anzhi down.
Although Qicheng's status in Sichuan's grain business community cannot be said to be first or second, it still has a certain appeal.
Li Dingguo believed that Donglu would not be able to resist the temptation and fall into the trap.
Xuzhou Mansion, Qizhai.
Qi Cheng is writing a post in the study.
His favorite calligrapher is Wang Xizhi, and his love for Feibai style is even more fascinating.
It is precisely because Qicheng admires Fei Bai Ti that he writes all day long, and after years of practice, he actually has some charm.
Of course, there is still a big gap between Qi Cheng's calligraphy and Wang Xizhi's, and he is also self-aware.
The calligraphy I wrote was only hung in the study for my own enjoyment, and I never took it out to show off.
The Ming Dynasty's ancestral merchants were not allowed to enter politics, so Qicheng gave up this idea.
This is also the reason why he devotes himself to calligraphy and painting.
Although he is very rich and good at making money, he cannot spend all his time making money and must relax.
In fact, there are not many businessmen like Qicheng.
As far as knowledge is concerned, they are not bad, and some of them can even be called great masters.
But because of your identity, you can only entertain yourself.
"Father, General Li from Chengdu sent someone to deliver a message.
Look" While Qi Cheng was concentrating on copying the calligraphy, his eldest son Qi Ye interrupted him loudly.
Qi Cheng couldn't help but frown.
What bothers him most is being interrupted while painting.
His son must know this.
But Qi Ye was acting out of character today, which was really puzzling.
"Which General Lee is it?"
"Reporting to my father, this is General Li Dingguo."
Qicheng heard the words "Li Dingguo" and the pen in his hand fell on the desk with a clatter.
Of course this name is not unfamiliar to him, or he is more familiar with the name Zhang Dingguo.
As early as when Zhang Xianzhong first entered Sichuan to control Chengdu, Qicheng saw the opportunity and took the initiative to get to his side.
Later, Zhang Xianzhong did reuse Qicheng and left all the procurement of military rations to Qicheng.
Qicheng lived up to Zhang Xianzhong's earnest expectations and ran the job beautifully.
After purchasing military rations, he was also responsible for transporting the food to the army.
It was through this process that he met Li Dingguo.
Qicheng was shocked from the first moment he saw Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo's movements showed the demeanor of a general, and Qi Cheng concluded that this son was definitely not a thing in the pool.
Of course, Qicheng had no intention of getting involved in the internal struggles of the Daxi imperial court, especially the competition for the reserve position.
Although Zhang Xianzhong has no biological children, he has four adopted sons.
No matter Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo or Liu Wenxiu, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, which means Ai Nengqi is slightly weaker.
Although Zhang Xianzhong was in his prime at the time, anything could happen in troubled times.
If Zhang Xianzhong really passes away by then, who will inherit this huge family business in Sichuan will be a big problem.
Qicheng did not choose to take sides.
Because in his opinion, no matter who among the four adopted sons inherits Zhang Xianzhong's mantle, they will need grain merchants to help them purchase military rations.
As long as there is this demand, Qicheng's jobs will not be ruined.
Of course, there was still a lot of contact between him and Li Dingguo.
Although most of them are official business contacts, the relationship between the two of them is not bad.
Later, the situation suddenly changed.

The Tatars invaded the south and Zhang Xianzhong was violently killed.
There was internal strife in Daxi.
Everything happened so suddenly that Qicheng didn't even react.
Later, the Ming army suddenly came out, killed the Tatars, and regained Chengdu.
Li Dingguo retreated to Jianchang and was trapped in a corner.
At that time, all of Sichuan except Jianchang was under the control of the Ming army.
Qi Cheng is a man who knows current affairs, so he naturally knows that the situation in Daxi is over.
He hurriedly cut with the Western Army, and instantly transformed into a commoner of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to maintain the stability of Sichuan, Wen Anzhi did not conduct too much research on businessmen like Qicheng, and Qicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Li Dingguo came to the Ming Dynasty, but Qicheng didn't show any sign.
Because in his opinion, it was impossible for a surrendered general like Li Dingguo to gain the trust of the court.
Rather than wasting time on such a person, it is better to find another supporter.
But who would have thought that Li Dingguo, who was living a good life, would take the initiative to send someone to look for him.
So is it seen or not?
If you meet it, it will inevitably fall into place.
If you don't see it, it will give people an impression of ungratefulness.
After all, Li Dingguo can be regarded as a benefactor of Qicheng.
This is really a difficult problem.
The more Qi Cheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Finally, he simply waved his hand and said, "Just say I'm not here."
Since you can't see or not see her, just say you're not here, so that you can at least block this wave first.
"But father" Qi Ye was about to say something when he was interrupted by Qi Cheng: "But didn't you hear what I said?"
"My son doesn't dare."
Qi Ye quickly accused him and said, "Son, I will go and explain to him now."
Filial piety is the most important thing in the Qi family, and he cannot disobey his father no matter what.
Even if his father's decision was somewhat inappropriate, he must abide by it.
"etc" Just as Qi Ye turned around to leave, Qi Cheng suddenly shouted.
Qi Ye quickly turned around and saluted Qi Cheng respectfully: "Father, do you have any other instructions?"
Qi Cheng rubbed his forehead and said, "You just said that the messenger is from Chengdu."
"Yes, father, now that General Li Dingguo is in Chengdu to discuss matters, the messenger is naturally sent from Chengdu."
Qi Ye said word by word.
"So Li Dingguo is appreciated by Wen Anzhi."
Qi Cheng's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself Qi Ye didn't dare to disturb him, so he just lowered his hands and waited respectfully.
"It seems that I still underestimated this Li Dingguo."
After a long time, Qicheng suddenly felt emotional.
This person can thrive in two completely different environments, and it seems that he does have some abilities.
"Don't say that my father is sick just because he is not at home."
In an instant, Qi Cheng changed his words, causing Qi Ye to be covered in mist.
"But father, you just said"
"Didn't I tell you again?
Do as I say now."
Qi Cheng was so angry that he almost lost his temper.
"Yes, my son obeys."
Seeing that his father was about to get angry, Qi Ye was frightened and responded quickly.
"Son, resign."

Qi Ye saluted Qi Cheng again and then closed the door and left.
Seeing his son leaving Qicheng, he shook his head helplessly.
His son is good in every way but lacks some spirituality.
His sudden change of mind was certainly not a whim, but he felt that the fact that Li Dingguo was summoned by Wen Anzhi to go to Chengdu to discuss matters showed that Wen Anzhi still trusted him.
In this case, there would not be much risk in his contact with Li Dingguo.
The reason for asking for help is to maintain a high profile so that he can bargain
