The master is going to Tokyo to be a marquis, and the second uncle is going to Tokyo to study. You are guarding a broken silk reeling workshop and staying alone in Chengdu? Okay, if you don't want to go to Tokyo, go and tell the master and the second master yourself, lest I
Stop complaining!"
Lu Qingqing gently pressed her temples and looked helplessly at the bacon in front of her who was just crying and speechless. She felt that this girl's head was broken. Going to Tokyo was a happy event for the whole family, so it made no sense why she was alive and dead when she got here.
Bacon awkwardly rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands, lowering his head and still not speaking.
Ge Qiuyan smiled and said: "Bacon, are you willing to leave the Marquis who raised you as a sister and the second master who swore to marry you? It's true that you have devoted your efforts to the silk reeling workshop, but the status of our family has changed. You
From now on, we can no longer go in and out of workshops wearing linen clothes and hang out with the weavers. There are only seven respectable people in our family. The house in Chengdu has to be taken care of by Xanthium and the others. What if you are left alone? Do you like it?
Can we open a silk reeling workshop for you when we get to Tokyo, and just treat it as a toy to make you happy?"
Bacon raised his face full of tears and whispered: "When I leave, the workshop will be closed, and Aunt Seven and the others will have nothing to eat. It is not easy for country people to find a good way of living."
Lu Qingqing chuckled, tapped Bacon's forehead with his finger and said, "Is that why?"
Bacon nodded: "I don't want to leave the eldest young master and the second young master."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said to Ge Qiuyan: "Bacon is the conscience of our family. In the huge Chengdu Prefecture, it is rare for people to name the Chief Bacon Manager without praising him with a thumbs up.
Some people in the group of ladies asked me what the status of Bacon is in our family. This damn girl always calls me me when I meet her. I call myself myself. Last time Mrs. Chen, the prefect, came to the house and heard about this title and wanted to help me change it.
As a result, I ate a piece of the boss's meal in front of the second master. The second master, such a gentle man, actually said in front of the wife of the prefect Chen that no one else has the right to care about the bacon. He also said that he hated hearing about slaves and concubines the most.
Such words made Mrs. Chen almost run out of the house. Those who didn’t know better thought that our family was plagued by a plague. After all, bacon is the most favored one in this family, and other rich ladies don’t have the confidence. "
Bacon's face turned red for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a few words: "The eldest young master didn't let me say that. He also said that if he heard me talk about slaves again, he would kick me out to beg for food."
Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan laughed together. Bancou was worried that the two crazy women would crush his daughter, so he quickly hugged her over. He didn't know why they were laughing so hard.
Lu Qingqing finally stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Bacon, you go and arrange the silk reeling workshop now and find a capable shopkeeper. Of course our silk reeling workshop is ours."
It is the hard work of you and Concubine Shu to keep it open. Don’t worry, no one will close the workshop. Aunt Qi and the others will still work in the workshop as before. You should also look for the weaving workshop in Jinguan City.
Shopkeeper, you have managed the workshop so prosperously that you don’t have to worry about finding a good shopkeeper."
Bacon liked to hear the news that the workshop was prosperous. He immediately said with a smile: "The two workshops made a lot of money for our family last year. They made more than 600 yuan in total."
Lu Qingqing still couldn't help but want to laugh. After restraining himself for a long time, he sat upright and said, "Bacon is a good breadwinner for the family. This is a big source of income for our family. Go and make arrangements quickly. Don't dare to make any mistakes."
Seeing that there was no need to close the workshop, La Rou nodded with a smile, returned her daughter to Lu Qingqing, and ran out to put her in bed. To be honest, she had not seen the eldest and second young masters for a long time, and she missed them very much.
"This damn girl may not have any impression of money until now. Six hundred dollars, this money may not be worth as much as the jade pendant that the second master gave her." After Ge Qiuyan said this, her eyes turned to Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing hugged her daughter and said: "The house snake stole your things again? Don't look at me, this damn thing won't give me the stolen things now. Look for it, maybe it's in its nest."
.
In fact, both bacon and Yunsan are easy to talk about. The most difficult thing is the house snake. Look at this guy now, it has the mouth of a bowl. Doesn’t the house snake never grow big? Why does it grow so big?
Chengdu Prefecture and Doushazhai hometown are easy to say. As long as they know it is a guard snake, no one is afraid. Tokyo City does not have the habit of raising guard snakes at home. How many people can be scared to death when a snake over ten feet long jumps out? "
Ge Qiuyan looked at the beam, and saw that the house-keeping snake was indeed entangled on it. She couldn't see the snake's head, but could only see a tail more than two feet long, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
"The green dragon is surrounding the pillar. This is a very good omen. The winter in Tokyo is much colder than that in Chengdu. The house-keeping snake was not used to it in the past. It is bound to suffer. It is better to let it stay in the house in Chengdu. If
No matter how big it gets, Chengdu Prefecture won’t be able to keep it, so we can only send it to our hometown in Dousha Village, where it will also have offspring.”
Lu Qingqing thought more. When he saw that his daughter had fallen asleep, he placed her on the soft couch next to her. He stood up and looked at the map on the wall and said to Ge Qiuyan: "Our family now has two properties, whether it is Chengdu Prefecture or
Even those in Dousha Village cannot relax. The master also said that the three burrows of a cunning rabbit are the way to establish oneself.
At first, I thought that Dousha Village had little chance because of its remote location. Unexpectedly, after Di Shuaibing entered Dali Kingdom, the entire Dousha Pass became a battleground for merchants. I had several industries in Dousha Village back then. Today, its value is huge.
When improving, our alliance with the Liang family must be stable. After all, our family's population is too small and we don't have the energy to place our own people everywhere.
Although we have trained some manpower over the years, few have outstanding abilities. Now, manpower has become our biggest shortcoming. We have the ability to expand but no one to guard it, so it is better not to develop it to avoid problems in the future."
Ge Qiuyan has seen many wealthy families in these years, and his eyelids have become wider. When he heard Lu Qingqing said that there was nothing he could do about manpower, he comforted Lu Qingqing and said: "The master has grown up too fast these years, so everything has changed."
If you can't keep up with the pace of the master, none of those big families spent hundreds of years laying the foundation to be as prosperous as they are today. Don't be too anxious, the master will always have something to worry about."
Lu Qingqing watched her fat daughter sleeping soundly in ecstasy, and sighed: "Why did I give birth to a daughter..."
While Lu Qingqing disliked his daughter, Yun Zheng disliked the warship mobilized by Wen Yanbo in Liuzhou. Not to mention it was dilapidated, but the sailors on the ship were all hungry and thin. He expected that such a person could send him to Dongting in one go.
lake?
The veins on Wen Yanbo's forehead were jumping, and beads of sweat were dripping from the foreheads of the navy generals kneeling in front of him. They never expected that there would be so much cargo piled up in Liuzhou, especially on the shore.
There were also sixty huge war elephants. If the war elephants got on the river boat they brought, the boat would definitely sink into the river.
Wen Yanbo had given strict orders to mobilize the ships this time. The situation was so bad now that he might not be able to escape the crime of delaying the military aircraft. Thinking of the extent of the evil hands of those civilian officials against the military attachés, the four of them unanimously fixed their pleading eyes on
On Yun Zheng's body.
"Forget it, Third Secretary, you take the boat while I rush back to the capital from the land. No matter how big the river boat is, it is still very dangerous to carry elephants. If the thing moves randomly, the boat will capsize.
I also brought back the grain and fodder that Nong Zhigao left in Pennzhou City. There are not many people in Guangnan, so we can’t eat so much grain. Anyway, we have to pass through Jingnan South Road, so I brought some more grain and fodder to help the anxious old man.
Bao, leave these grains in Xiangyang and let him pick them up there."
Wen Yanbo looked at those dilapidated warships and was really worried about putting the treasures brought back by Yun Zheng on those ships. He waved helplessly and asked the naval generals to retreat, and sighed: "Since Taizu founded the country until now, Jing
The navy warships on Hubei Road and Jinghu South Road have never been replaced, so it is normal for them to be a little tattered.
I want to transport these seizures back to the capital as soon as possible to solve the urgent need, but the navy has become like this and it is difficult to take on the big task. Forget it, in order to ensure the safety of the period, I will follow you overland. I also know what it is to ride a war elephant.
What does it feel like?"
"There are good ships. They have been hired by merchants for a long time at a high price. I have told you to leave quickly. You have to wait to negotiate with Li Rizun's envoy. How can Li Rizun be qualified to negotiate with the Song Dynasty now? Yours
Even if the conditions were ten times harsher, Li Rizun would still sign immediately. There is nothing more terrifying than Song Dynasty and his opponents joining forces. Even if we sign, we will not get the benefits. Only you civil servants can save face.
like doing."
Wen Yanbo said angrily: "Don't forget that you are Marquis Wenxin and also a civil servant."
"What kind of civil servant is he without Donghuamen roll call? Don't humiliate me!"
"Yun Changsheng, do you have to distinguish between civil and military forces so crudely?"
"That's natural. Now not only those who are not Donghuamen roll-callers cannot be considered civil servants, but those who speak vulgarly, are disheveled, and have no atmosphere of scholar-bureaucrats will also be removed from the civil service ranks. From now on, they will not be able to ride, shoot, or drive.
Those who follow the law will also be purged from the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats, of course, in name only.
Third Secretary, as long as the distinction between civil and military matters is taken seriously, it is easy to form three, five or nine ranks among the officials. Believe it or not, as long as I make such an argument, there will definitely be a large number of followers, and the Song Dynasty will soon
It will turn into the Jin Dynasty where people are dressed in black clothes. The atmosphere can be guided."
Yun Zheng didn't care about Wen Yanbo's anger. After all, everyone was a third-rank official, and no one could do anything to anyone. Besides, he had a title, and he was still a marquis. Wen Yanbo only had the title of earl and his status was not as high as his own. At this time, he could say anything.
"You entered the capital and planned to divide the civil servants like this?"
"Yes, this is a conspiracy, just accept it. I will definitely show a true civil servant style when I arrive in the capital. By the way, let's use the old rules in Wuyi Alley as an example and explain them to Tokyo people.
A different model of civil servants, let everyone divide civil servants into three, six or nine grades in their hearts, and then sit back and watch the changes in the world, hey hey hey... I am so smart..." (To be continued)
