Seeing that the matter was done, Chu Yiqing left without further delay and left.
As soon as Chu Yiqing left, Mrs. Zhang said happily: "Earlier you said that Dagen had no land to work when he came back, but now it's better. To build the school, wood, bricks, stones, lime, etc., everything needs to be purchased and supervised. You
You are getting older, so just rest and let Dagen do it. After all, Dagen has been in business and knows how to settle accounts. You have been complaining about back pain recently, so you don’t have to worry about it!"
Fugui knew what Mr. Zhang was up to, so he was thinking about making some money. If he didn't make money, he wouldn't be able to survive. But now that he is older, he understands better that some money can be taken and some money can't.
He knew it well, so he said coldly: "In the future, when others come to our house to talk about things, please don't get involved. Who is the village chief? I'm not afraid of people's jokes!"
Zhang's face turned red with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just scolded Fugui in her heart for being a fool. Such a good opportunity has not come across for hundreds of years. It only cost fifty taels of silver to build a school.
? Save your words, at most twenty taels will be enough, but this old man is stubborn!
As soon as the villagers heard that a new school was going to be built, those who had children studying at home were naturally happy and excited. Countryside people are not afraid to contribute and have plenty of strength. Besides, they have just planted corn and there are no workers at home, so they have nothing to do.
It's just a good time to do something for their own children. Those who don't have children at home think that they will have children anyway, and the school will not run away after it is built, so they don't have much complaints to help. Not only is Shangjia Village lively, but also
In the nearby villages of Lianggetun, Zhaojiazhuang, etc., there were children studying in the school, and they also sent people. They were afraid that if the school was built, their children would not be able to go to school. The money was paid by Miss Chu.
It was made by people from Shangjia Village. It’s not easy to drive people away? In this way, people from several villages worked together. Some went up the mountain to chop wood, some dug soil to make soil mold, some made soil mold, and some started to lay the foundation.
, women cook and deliver meals.
The people in the village were busy, and Chu Yiqing was not idle either. After the school affairs were arranged, he went to the town first to see the business in the town. Unexpectedly, he met several acquaintances during this trip.
Between heaven and earth, Lan Yi ordered a few side dishes and tasted the familiar taste, but his heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Not only because of his love for Chu Yiqing, but he couldn't explain why. Now he has
Taking everything back from him, as long as he said a word, he could sit in that seat, but for some reason, he was a little reluctant to let go of everything here. The simplicity he once had, the pride deeply hidden in his heart, once he returned to that place
In the cold palace, nothing will be left except ruthlessness.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Landie looked at him strangely, as if he had something on his mind when he came back this time.
"Mr. Lan, these are the apples and pears from Miss Chu's house. They taste so good. Try them!" Mo Da came out with a plate of big red apples and sweet and crisp pears and placed them on the table.
"Chu Han can actually grow such a big fruit!" Lan Yi looked at the apple and immediately took one and took a bite. It was crispy and sweet. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, maybe because it tasted so good.
My mood gradually improved a lot.
"It's just an apple, not a good thing!" Lan Die couldn't help but mumbled when he saw Lan Yi eating it with gusto. He also took one and took a bite and found it crispy and sweet, so he stopped muttering.
Just eating.
Lan Yi finished eating an apple, took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands carefully, and suddenly said: "Luo Country has always claimed that it has a vast land and rich resources. I am afraid that there are no such sweet and crisp apples in the entire Luo Country!"
"Brother, what you said is exaggerated. It's just a fruit! Besides, the Luo Kingdom is so big, how do you know it's not there?" Lan Die said unconvinced.
Lan Yi curled his lips slightly. The best fruits were all tributes. The fruits he ate in the palace were only two-thirds of the size and half sweet. How could he not know? He was indeed right, Chu Yiqing was a
Priceless treasure!
As soon as Chu Yiqing and Yingqian entered the door, Mo Da greeted him: "Oh, Miss Chu, you are here by chance. Mr. Lan and Miss Lan are in the private room upstairs, and he asked about Miss Chu just now!"
Chu Yiqing was startled, Lan Yi was back? Could it be because of Jiang Yun's matter? Has Li Huang already started to take action? She hesitated slightly and then said: "Take me to see Mr. Lan!"
Mo Da quickly led the way.
"Master Lan, Miss Lan, Miss Chu is here!" Mo Da knocked on the door outside, and Chu Yiqing entered the private room.
Lan Yi and Lan Die didn't seem to expect that Chu Yiqing would appear in the world. They were both stunned, but the meaning in their eyes was different.
"Sister Chu, are you back? When did you come back? Last time I came back, you had to travel far away. We just met briefly, but today we didn't expect to be so destined!" Lan Die hurried forward and grabbed Chu Yi enthusiastically.
Qing's arm smiled.
Pulling his arm out of Lan Die's little hand calmly, Chu Yiqing smiled faintly: "I just came back yesterday. I came to the restaurant today to have a look. I heard from shopkeeper Mo that Miss Lan and Mr. Lan are here. According to the special
Come say hello! I also want to talk to Mr. Lan about something!"
Lan had already stood up early in the morning, trying his best to suppress the turbulence in his heart, and slowly squeezed out a normal smile: "That's such a coincidence, I also have something to tell Miss Chu!"
"Then sit down quickly and let Shopkeeper Mo serve some more dishes. Let's talk while eating!" Lan Die continued to hold Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing shook her head. She despised Lan Die's hypocritical smile the most. She didn't know what else to say between her and Lan Die today. They reluctantly sat together to eat. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to digest it even if they ate it!
"Then I won't disturb you two for dinner. There happens to be some business at the vegetable shop. I'll go take a look. We'll talk about it after Mr. Lan has dinner!" Chu Yiqing smiled and was about to leave first.
Lan Yi took a step forward and said, "I'm already full. Why don't we go to another room to talk!"
There are some things that he doesn't want Lan Die to know!
"Brother, I..." Lan Die stepped forward hurriedly.
"Eat slowly. Didn't you say you like the carrot sweet potato the most? Let Shopkeeper Mo have another plate!" Lan Yi winked at her, and Lan Die could only nod unwillingly.
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and led Yingqian and Lan Yi to the private room next door.
Yingqian asked shopkeeper Mo to serve two cups of fine jasmine in person, and the tea was fragrant and soothing for a while.
"How are you doing these days? After I came back, I heard the housekeeper say a lot of things, and you encountered a lot of troubles?" Without Lan Die, Lan Yi spoke much softer and his tone was much more affectionate.
Chu Yiqing nodded: "We encountered some troubles, but they are finally solved! In fact, I want to tell you that Liu Yi will not go to Luo State again in the future. I will send someone else to take over Liu Yi's work. Anyway, now Da Jiang Gang
Harvest, you don’t need it anywhere for the time being, three months is enough for me to train another person!”
Lan Yi didn't care about this. After all, Liu Yi was just a servant to him, and he had other plans in mind.
"Have you heard that the imperial court is going to take back Lan Mansion's sea access rights?" Lan asked suddenly.
Chu Yiqing was stunned for a moment, a little shocked, was Li Huang really moving so quickly?
"You don't seem to know. Didn't the Fifth Prince tell you?" Lan Yi slowly raised the corners of his lips and looked at Chu Yiqing without blinking.
"This is a matter for the imperial court. I'm just a peasant woman farming. How could I know this?" Chu Yiqing smiled calmly, "I'm afraid Mr. Lan won't sell it out so easily, right?"
"That's natural! The right to access the sea is our Lan family's livelihood business. Even if the court wants to take it back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Luo State to pass the test! You said, if the Luo State refuses Li State's ships to dock in the future, Li Guoguo will
What has it become like? I heard that the Shangguan family is still evil!" Lan Yi raised the corners of his lips lazily and glanced sideways at Chu Yiqing, seeming to be completely sure.
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly: "Although I only have one ship, it was hard-earned. If I want to rely on Mr. Lan in the future, I naturally don't want anything to happen to the Lan family!"
After all, Lan Yi was too deep-minded to let Chu Yiqing fool him with these few words, so he smiled calmly and said: "Based on your relationship with the Fifth Prince, you don't have to worry about your ship at all, even if
Even if we don’t rely on our Lan family, we will still be able to travel smoothly!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You can't say that. Mr. Lan, you also said it. To put it bluntly, the most important thing about sea access rights is three points, the docks on both sides, and the pirates at sea. Even if I am a ship,
I can sail unimpeded at the docks of Li State, but the pirates on this sea won’t give me face, and I won’t be allowed to dock at the docks of Luo State, so my ship is just a useless ship!”
The smile in Lan Yi's eyes deepened: "It would be great if the court could think as far-reaching as Miss Chu!"
"Young Master Lan is too polite, but if the imperial court really wants to take back the right to access the sea, and if Young Master Lan doesn't comply and goes against the imperial court, both sides will suffer losses!" Chu Yiqing thought slowly.
"It's natural, so I want to cooperate with you, Miss Chu!" Lan Yi finally revealed his true intention, "With the relationship between Miss Chu and the Fifth Prince, it's no problem to capture Li Guo Pier. The pirates at sea and Luo Guo
I will be in charge over there. Our Lan family has a total of thirty-two large ships and twelve medium-sized ships. As a sign of sincerity for cooperation, I will give you the management rights of twelve large ships. How about it?"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows slightly. This Lan Yi was indeed a businessman, and he was really willing to give up. Twelve large ships, plus the original one, would be thirteen, which would be one-third of the sea rights.
, ** is indeed not small!
"You want me to talk to the Fifth Prince?" Chu Yiqing looked sideways at Lan Yi.
Lan nodded: "Miss Chu is really a smart person! If Miss Chu has these twelve big ships, plus the original one, it will be thirteen ships, and there will be no problem in transporting anything to Luo Country. In this way,
Miss Chu’s business is not only spread throughout the Li Kingdom, but also the Luo Kingdom!"
Lan Yi's words were full of **!
"It's indeed very tempting, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability!" Chu Yiqing pondered.
"If Miss Chu didn't have this ability, I wouldn't be so candid with Miss Chu. In the final analysis, if the court forcibly takes back the right to open the sea, it will only hurt both sides. The only way just now is the best of both worlds!" Lan spread his hands,
Shrugging.
Chu Yiqing had been waiting for this day, but his joy was not shown at all. He just said awkwardly: "Master Lan really thinks too highly of me, a peasant woman, but I am willing to give it a try!"
Lan Yi slowly raised his lips and smiled, but his eyes were cold and charming.
After coming out of the world, Yingqian couldn't help but feel happy and said: "Miss, it really took no effort at all this time. I didn't expect that we got one-third of the sea rights so easily!"
Chu Yiqing was not as relaxed as she thought, and whispered: "Lan Yi's city is very deep, and he naturally knows that there is something in the hands of the fifth prince, otherwise he would not be so happy, but I don't think he would be so
Simply give us twelve ships. Have you forgotten the ship he gave us last time? Those ships are all his people. He will know every move we make by then, so even if we have thirteen ships, I'm afraid it won't be effective.
It’s not big either!”
Yingqian was stunned. She only saw the surface and didn't think so clearly. After hearing what Chu Yiqing said, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Miss, what should I do? Why don't you tell me that you won't agree to Mr. Lan's conditions?"
That’s all!”
"If you don't agree, both sides will suffer. Luo Guo won't let us dock. Even if we have a hundred ships, it won't help! And the pirates at sea, after dealing with the Lan Mansion for so many years, will naturally form a chain of interests. Once
Once this chain of interests is broken, there will be chaos on the sea!" Chu Yiqing shook his head slowly.
"Then..." Yingqian was originally very happy, but when she heard Chu Yiqing's analysis, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Seeing her worrying about gains and losses, Chu Yiqing couldn't help laughing and said: "No matter what, let's get these twelve ships first. We can slowly train them in the future, and the pirates will also find ways to resist. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as
It’d be nice to get started!”
"Yes, the lady thought it through!" Yingqian nodded.
From the window on the second floor, Lan Ji looked at the backs of Chu Yiqing and Ying Qian, and frowned displeased: "Sir, you clearly suspect that Jiang Yun was brought back by Chu Yiqing's ship and that she gave it to the Fifth Prince.
, why are you so cheap to her?"
Lan Yi slowly sipped the jasmine tea and said slowly: "The fifth prince has selfish motives for Chu Yiqing, and I just take advantage of this selfishness. I believe that Jiangyun's matter will definitely end here, and my identity will not change."
It will be exposed. As for those twelve ships, Blue Halberd, if you let people redo them and make twelve more, we still control the sea rights. As for the thirteen ships of Chu Yiqing, without us to pilot them, she
We can’t go to sea, and the crew members are all ours, so why are we still afraid of her?”
Lan Ji said happily: "What a clever move! It looks like Chu Yiqing has one-third of the sea rights. In fact, she only gave her twelve ships. Our business will not be affected at all!"
"There is definitely an impact, but compared to this sea power, making less money is not the key!" Lan Yi said solemnly, "What I want to do most now is to send someone to Chu Yiqing's side. This
The energy in a woman is beyond what you and I can imagine. As long as we can arrange people into it, we will know what she wants to do when the time comes!"
Lan Ji immediately said: "Master, leave this matter to your subordinates!"
Lan nodded: "Be careful, Chu Yiqing is not easy!"
Lan Ji nodded quickly.
Lin Yi is taking care of the business in Wuming Town, so Chu Yiqing is not worried. Now she is worried about Liu Fu and the others. Although they are somewhat capable, it is the first time they have left the pig farm in so many years, so she feels a little uneasy.
, while there was still time, I planned to visit various towns. Unexpectedly, I met Shangguan Yu's personal maid Ju'er just after I left the west gate.
"Is it Miss Chu?" Juer quickly took a few steps forward and asked.
Yingqian quickly opened the sedan curtain and nodded when she saw it was Juer: "You seem to be..."
"This servant is Mr. Shangguan's personal maid, named Ju'er. I have met Miss Chu before. Do you still remember me?" Ju'er said quickly.
Yingqian nodded: "It makes an impression when you say this. Why are you here?"
Ju'er pointed to the Guanyin Temple not far ahead: "Today, Madam, I came to burn incense and worship Buddha. I just saw Miss Chu's carriage up there and said that she recognized the driver, so I sent Ju'er to ask, but Miss Chu is back!"
"
After hearing this, Chu Yiqing stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Where is your wife?"
As soon as Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he saw Helian Bingshuang walking over with a maid in a pavilion not far ahead. He smiled as he walked and said, "I said it looked like Miss Chu's carriage. Sure enough, Miss Chu is like this."
Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Zhuli Town. I have some things to deal with, but by chance I met Mrs. Shangguan here!" Chu Yiqing got out of the car and returned to the pavilion with Helian Bingshuang to take a rest.
"Miss Chu just came back from the capital, have you seen my husband-in-law?" Helian Bingshuang couldn't help but ask as soon as he sat down, "He has been gone for two months, and he only comes back occasionally with a letter.
I miss him very much!”
"I left the capital twenty days ago, but we met once before I left. Boss Shangguan was really busy and didn't even say a few words!" Chu Yiqing said with a faint smile.
"Yes, Miss Chu is also a busy person, so she can't take care of all this!" Helian Bingshuang seemed a little disappointed, but then said: "Fortunately, one of his friends comes to accompany me these days, otherwise, I would be alone
People here who are not familiar with the place will be really bored to death!"
"Friend?" Chu Yiqing was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Miss Landielan, she said she also knows you, Miss Chu. She told me a lot about Miss Chu doing business with my master in the past!" Helian Bingshuang covered his face and smiled, "With her accompanying me,
I’m not that bored…”
"Really?" Chu Yiqing remained calm.
"Yes, I heard her say that without Miss Chu back then, when my husband was restrained by the Shangguan family, Chu Han's business might not have been saved! After what she said, I felt that Miss Chu was even more amazing!
No wonder when I was in the capital, I heard Miss Chu's third sister mention that Miss Chu is someone who does big things!" Helian Bingshuang continued to say gently.
