The room that Zhao Hai and the others are currently in is the place where distinguished guests are entertained. It can be said to be a separate private room, and you can order food here. However, where ordinary tribesmen eat, their meals are the same every day.
After the two of them had a meal in the restaurant, Phil took Zhao Hai directly to the Mei Xiang Yuan where he lived. This Mei Xiang Yuan was named because there was a plum courtyard behind it. In that plum courtyard, various kinds of plum blossoms were grown.
Plant all kinds of plum blossoms. Now is the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, filling the courtyard with fragrance.
Although Zhao Hai moved into Meixiangyuan, Ryan did not move in and stayed at the Shelly Hotel. However, the hotel still took great care of her because of Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai returned to Meixiangyuan after dinner, Laura and the others were already waiting for Zhao Hai in the house. In addition to a plum courtyard at the back and a martial arts training ground in the front, Meixiangyuan also has a courtyard-like house.
, the entire courtyard can accommodate nearly a hundred people, so it is considered a large courtyard.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Laura and the others sitting in the room, but they all had some worried expressions on their faces. As soon as they saw Zhao Hai coming in, Laura and the others stood up immediately, especially Laura.
Said: "Brother Hai, what's going on? Why did you send us here?"
Zhao Hai knew what Laura was worried about as soon as he saw Laura's look. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's okay. We will live here from now on. This is what Brother Smith meant." After saying that, he said that he met Smith today.
I told Laura about the situation.
Laura and the others were stunned when they heard what Zhao Hai said, but Laura didn't show much joy. He just looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Brother Hai, aren't you worried? Smith arranged for us to be here, isn't it?
Do you mean to spy on us?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Isn't it good to monitor us? In this way, we can reassure him more. By cooperating with him, he will not think too much, which is very beneficial to us."
When Laura heard what Zhao Hai said, she was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. She said sheepishly: "Brother Hai, that's what you meant. Haha, I understand."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Okay, you don't have to do anything for two days, just make a good count of the business we can do, forget about the grains and vegetables, count the milk wine and war rations, and then inform Grandpa Gessen
, let him produce vigorously, I will go and check on Ryan's situation here, and as soon as someone from Uncle Ivan comes, I will send Ryan on board immediately."
Laura smiled and said: "Sending Ryan on the ship has solved our problem. Brother Hai, it is winter now, and there are very few people going to do business with the orcs. Should we go to other empires?"
look?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "I have thought about it, but we can't do it now. It's better for us to decide the business here before we talk about it. We don't want to spread the stall too big now."
Laura nodded and said: "Okay, in the past two days we will compile statistics on the business and output we need to do now to facilitate our actions."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "We never thought that things would go so smoothly this time. Now with the help of Brother Smith, our things this time will go much smoother than we expected. We will do our best in a while."
We’re going to the slave market, what do you think?”
Laura nodded and said: "Good idea, what we lack most now is people. Although we have bought a lot of orc slaves, those slaves don't know how to cultivate the land, which is very detrimental to our development. We still need more
Buy some human slaves, preferably more craftsmen and slaves who can read."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, there are too few people in our territory now. Our territory combined is not much smaller than the Aksu Empire, but we have too few people. Even if our land now has no
There have been so many improvements, but the number of people is still too small.”
During this period of time, Zhao Hai did not only care about other things. Regardless of the black soil wasteland, as long as Cai'er's seven-colored poisonous mist expanded, he would immediately improve those lands. The amount of land he has improved now is already
A lot. In comparison, the number of people in his hands is really too few.
Before, the people in his hands could still go out to farm, but as the number of factories in his hands increased, the slaves were busy just busy with the things in the factory. There was still time to farm outside, but
Fortunately, it's winter outside now, so they couldn't plant it even if they wanted to.
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. This made Zhao Hai, Laura and the others stunned for a moment. This courtyard was arranged by Smith. Logically speaking, no one should come in. What happened?
thing?
Zhao Hai's face darkened, and he turned to Shun Yi and said, "Shun Yi, go and see what's going on. Don't offend anyone." Shun Yi responded, opened the door and walked out.
Megan has liked plum blossoms since she was a child, so Meixiangyuan is almost the yard she visits most. If it weren't for the fact that Meixiangyuan is too far back and too unsafe, she would have moved to this place a long time ago.
It is early winter now, and it is the day when the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the Meixiang Courtyard. Megan has invited several friends to come to this yard to enjoy the plum blossoms. By the way, they can drink a few glasses of warm wine and chat about the troubles on the mainland.
The Plum Garden in the City Lord's Mansion is very famous in Tianshui City. It has the largest plum garden in the entire Tianshui City. In early winter, when the scenery here is at its best, many ladies and gentlemen from noble families will visit it.
I went to the Plum Blossom Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, but it would be better if it snowed a little.
Megan was followed by two servants. In order not to disturb the people in the front yard, they came in through the gate of the backyard. This way, firstly, they could not disturb the people in the front yard, and secondly, because it was relatively close to the Plum Garden.
Megan's servant opened the door of Meixiangyuan, and everyone immediately rushed in and went straight to the backyard of Meixiangyuan. At this moment, Megan felt something was wrong in the yard.
Megan didn't ask anyone to clean this yard before today. This yard should be quite messy, but now it looks very clean, as if someone has specially cleaned it. This is really unattractive.
I have to say that this Miss Megan is really a bit of a literati. In her opinion, a plum garden like this should have blooming plum blossoms in the backyard and some dead branches and leaves in the front yard, so that it can reflect
It would be good if there are two different artistic conceptions: vitality and decline.
But now the front yard has been cleaned to perfection, it seems that the ground has been washed with water, and it looks very clean, which makes Megan very puzzled.
At this moment, suddenly the door of the main hall of Meixiangyuan was opened, and a thin figure wearing a samurai uniform walked out of the door and looked at them coldly.
The aristocratic ladies and gentlemen who were friends with Megan also noticed something was wrong. They all looked at the thin figure blankly, and for a moment, they collectively lost their voices.
The person who came out was naturally too Shunyi. Shunyi understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai didn't want to cause trouble, so he let him come out and gave a special instruction.
Shunyi understood what was going on when he looked at the people in the yard. He had seen too many aristocratic ladies and gentlemen moaning carelessly, so now when he saw Megan and the others, he understood what was going on.
No wonder Shunyi noticed that many of Megan and the others were girls. Most of these girls were holding hand stoves, and those men were all wearing high-grade animal skins and cotton clothes, and they were all dressed up in a fancy way.
Behind them were many servants. Some of these servants were holding food boxes and some were holding charcoal stoves. They were very lively.
When Shun Yi saw this situation, he knew that this must be the child of the city lord, who invited some nobles in the city to play in the courtyard. Shun Yi was not surprised at all, because as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he
After scouting around the yard, it was naturally impossible to miss the plum garden at the back of the yard. There was a small courtyard in the middle of the yard, which was used to appreciate plum blossoms. Shunyi naturally paid attention to it.
From the looks of Megan and the others, Shunyi naturally knew what was going on.
Shunyi bowed to Megan and said: "I have met you, Miss. Hello, I am Mr. Wells' servant. Today, Mr. Wells came to visit the Lord of the City. Thanks to the Lord of the City, we are able to settle down in Meixiang Courtyard, please."
I asked you to appreciate the plum blossoms, Miss, please forgive me."
Shunyi's words were very beautiful, but he also told the whole story, which was to tell Megan that we were invited by the Lord of the City as guests, not an intruder. At the same time, he dared to tell Megan and the others that you can leave.
.
Megan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shunyi in confusion: "Are you really my father's guest?"
Shunyi said quickly: "I dare not hide it from the young lady. The guest of the city lord is my young master, and I am just the young master's servant."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Hai's voice: "Okay Shunyi, don't talk about that. We are just disturbing the lady and the others. Please let the lady and the others do what they want."
Shunyi responded, turned to Megan and said, "Miss, please forgive me. We just need to rest in the room."
Shunyi's low profile made Megan embarrassed. The noble ladies and young masters who followed Megan also felt very embarrassed. Megan quickly said: "In that case, I won't disturb your husband's rest."
Alright, I’ll take my leave later.”
Just as he was about to leave, a female voice said: "Miss, please stay." After saying this, Laura walked out of the door, bowed to Laura, and retreated behind Laura.
Laura bowed to Megan and said: "Young lady, you don't have to be like this. The young master said that we have disturbed the Lord of the City too much, so how can we let the young lady leave? Please go to the plum garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, young lady. I will never bother you."
.”
When Megan heard what Laura said, she was really embarrassed to leave. She quickly said: "Isn't this too disturbing to your family and prevent him from resting?"
Laura smiled and said: "It is my young master who disturbs the young lady to enjoy the plum blossoms. Young lady, please help yourself. This is the strong wine the young master gave to the young lady. You can drink it warm and it will be more fun."
After speaking, he took out a wine bag and handed it to Shunyi. Shunyi put it into the hands of Megan's servant, turned around and left.
