The autumn sun tilted very quickly, and soon the shadow on the window gradually extended from a small area into the room.
A long conversation with Fei Qian not only did not make Huang Chengyan feel confident, but instead made him even more entangled.
This long conversation was very calm and simple. Fei Qian did not use any fancy words to modify or cover up anything. He did not hide anything. The minerals in the wooden box on the table also proved this.
Although the process went very smoothly, it was actually very unhappy.
Because this matter is of great importance, it will even affect the entire future direction of the Huang family, the layout of the family economy, even the next generation, and even the inheritance of the entire family school.
It can be said that the Huang family in Jingxiang has established a firm foothold, but once it is firmly established, if it wants to surpass Pang Cai, it is basically impossible unless these two families make a fool of themselves...
The land of Bingzhou is desolate, but it is also a place where no nobles have set foot. If the Huang family can occupy it first, it will be no less than a newer and stronger vitality...
Sometimes it's like this, it's hard to make a choice.
Because this decision will not only affect one family or two families...
Huang Yueying secretly stretched out half of her head outside the study window, blinked her big eyes and looked inside, and then retracted her head again before Huang Chengyan's eyes could turn around.
Huang Chengyan lowered his eyes, sitting upright like a mountain, not moving at all, and said coldly: "What are you hiding from? Come in."
"Oh..." Huang Yueying got out from under the window. Under her father's gaze, she moved and moved into the study. Then she asked with some confusion, "I didn't even see my father turn his head. How could I do that?"
Was it discovered?"
Huang Chengyan snorted softly, then didn't say anything, and just pointed to a piece of ground in the room.
Huang Yueying turned her head and looked with her fingers, and found that the sunlight coming in from the window happened to be shining on this piece of ground...
"That guy asked you to come?" Huang Chengyan said.
"What do you mean, that boy!" Huang Yueying put aside the embarrassment of being discovered by her father, and came to Huang Chengyan's side, saying, "Lang Jun said that my father seemed to have something on his mind... so I came here by myself..."
Huang Chengyan snorted.
Huang Yueying ran behind Huang Chengyan, rubbed Huang Chengyan's shoulders and neck, and said: "Ah, what's the matter? Everyone is mysterious..."
Huang Chengyan squinted his eyes, shook his head, and said after a long time: "You, my husband, are not simple... You are going to wipe out all my money..."
"Ah? Father!" Huang Yueying said with some dissatisfaction, "I said I was smart before, but now I'm not simple. What are you going to do?"
Huang Chengyan sighed and said: "It's good to be smart, but it's not good to be too smart!"
Huang Chengyan told Huang Yueying what Fei Qian had just said about the situation in Bingzhou, and then touched the wooden box on the desk with a confused look on his face.
The Huang family is on an equal footing with the Pang family and the Cai family in Jingxiang, largely because the Huang family controls a lot of craftsman industries in Jingxiang, from construction to daily necessities, and the Huang family is basically involved in everything.
, although there are still some voices in the Huang family that say that craftsmen have no future and only Confucian classics are the right path, most people know that if the Huang family does not have these craftsmen, not only the family's income will plummet.
Even the entire status in Jingxiang will be affected to a certain extent.
Therefore, these craftsmen are equivalent to the bargaining chips in Huang Chengyan's hands and the property in his pocket.
And now, Fei Qian is actually interested in the treasures in Huang Chengyan's pocket...
Although Fei Qian did not directly say how many craftsmen were needed, according to the previous description, such a large venue could still be arranged even if half of the craftsmen from Jingxiang were transferred there.
It’s not that Huang Chengyan is a miser, nor that he is unwilling to invest in Feiqian, but the problem is that Huang Chengyan needs to calculate whether such an investment is worth it, and how much investment is appropriate...
Huang Chengyan patted Huang Yueying's hand, and the thought that he had lamented countless times came up in his heart, it would be great if Huang Yueying was a man...
Fei Qian was right about one thing. In this Jingxiang land, there were too many factions involved and it was not suitable for mobilizing. However, it was precisely because of this that Huang Chengyan could not escape. Someone must be stationed in Jingxiang to watch over the family.
Those idiots among them would not have to pay for others after being sold.
It is necessary to always pay attention to changes in the surrounding area and make adjustments at any time according to changes in the situation. This is why Huang Chengyan is destined to be unable to leave Jingxiang and go to Bingzhou for on-the-spot investigation.
Huang Chengyan still has some confidence in the development of Feiqian and Bingzhou, but it is hard to say how much confidence he has in the craftsmen sent there. Maybe in another three to five years, these craftsmen named Huang will become
The person named Fei...
But if you give up, on the one hand, it won't make sense for Fei Qian. On the other hand, for craftsmen, who doesn't want to have a workshop land full of minerals and support, where they can let go?
The inheritance of the Mohist family...
Huang Yueying thought quietly for a while, then stood in front of Huang Chengyan and said seriously: "Father...this time, Lang Jun and I will go to Bingzhou together..."
Huang Chengyan suddenly stood up, shook his head and said: "How can this happen? The wind and sand in Bingzhou are biting your skin. Didn't you see that Fei Ziyuan didn't go there for long, and he became almost as dark as you... Uh, this, I
means……"
Huang Yueying stepped forward, hugged Huang Chengyan, and said: "...I know...I know...I am also reluctant to leave my father...but who else in the family can go?...Uncle?"
Huang Chengyan gently stroked Huang Yueying's head and sighed.
Huang Yueying pressed against Huang Chengyan's chest and said: "...Lang Jun is an idea, we should help him... I know most of the craftsmen at home. When I was young, I often asked them to do this and that. I must have these
People are a little closer to me..."
Huang Chengyan hugged Huang Yueying and suddenly realized that the little girl who used to call her father with a sweet voice in the front and back of the hall has now grown beyond his shoulders...
But how could Huang Chengyan be willing to let his beloved daughter go to Bingzhou to eat dirt?! Although he knew in his heart that the living conditions might not be very bad, Huang Chengyan felt that there was no problem at all in letting his son-in-law suffer a little, but it was his turn.
Daughter, it’s so difficult to give up, so desperate...
Huang Chengyan's face was full of tangles, and he murmured: "...let me think about it again, think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."
I was helpless, I had a bad stomach and had diarrhea three times...
I hope tomorrow will be better...
Did the cook think there wasn't enough meat, so he took some flies to make up for it?
