She quite recognized Ding Jiu's work ability. She asked him to help investigate Tang Shijin's matter before, and he gave the result the next day.
Tang Shijin accidentally learned about Tang Dongzi's smallpox incident and wanted to fish in troubled waters. He hung around her before and wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor. Although it was annoying to hide it for two days, the matter has been resolved.
, Tang Shiyue ignored him.
Tang Shiyue held her chin and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Let the county king arrange it." Ding Jiu pointed to Bing Qi next to him: "Of the two groups, one group must follow the county king on weekdays to take care of the county king's safety. The remaining group can be assigned at will, fixed or rotated, it all depends
The county prince’s.”
Tang Shiyue casually placed the tea cup on the lynx's head. The lynx immediately squatted down, holding the cup with its paws and motionless.
Tang Shiyue asked: "You all know how to read and count?"
Bingqi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Of course."
He looked at it with curiosity.
There are also nobles in Chang'an City who have tamed lynxes, but no one has ever been able to tame them like this. It's like they have become spirits and can understand human speech. Moreover, lynxes are ferocious beasts after all, and have very bad tempers.
Can she be used as a tea stand if she is left here?
This little lady is indeed a bit weird.
Tang Shiyue thought for a while: "Mr. Xia and Ayu can handle the work at hand, the work in Yue Workshop. I can't get around to most of the work in Yue Workshop, so let's not talk about it yet."
"There are a few things I want to do now that I haven't done yet. The first one is because I have a lot of things to do, so I want to build another workshop. My idea for this workshop is to recruit as many people as possible.
I come here when farming is slack and go back when farming is busy. The main reason is to help everyone earn more."
"The second thing is more troublesome. Han Yi is the person who helps me collect cashmere. He said something. I had several businesses before, including collecting goat milk, making milk pimples, collecting suet, and making candles and soap.
These two businesses have never been started because goat milk and mutton fat are not convenient to transport like cashmere. So I was wondering if someone could take some people to build a workshop near them and collect it nearby...
The matter is very troublesome and dangerous. I don’t know if you dare to go or if you can go.”
"The third thing is the land given to me by the emperor. I am asking people to harvest seeds. I have already harvested some. There are many that I have never seen before and I don't know what will grow. I need someone to take them to plant them. Then
The planting process must be the same as when I planted cotton...how deep to dig the soil, how much water to pour, how long to light it, etc., must be recorded in detail. You can ask Chen Changqing how to do it specifically."
She thought about it carefully: "Those are the three things at the moment. You go down and discuss among yourselves whether you want to take it and who will take it. I'll give you the results tomorrow."
Bingqi couldn't help but glance at Dingjiu.
Bingqi was often ordered around the world by the emperor, so he was well-informed. Although he had heard of Tang Shiyue's name, he never expected that he had this style of painting.
Moreover, each of the things she said seemed very ordinary, but the profound meaning behind them was shocking and frightening when you think about it carefully.
To put it this way, just for the grassland business, eight people may not be enough, and... to do business with the grassland, you have to ask the emperor for permission!
Bingqi and Dingjiu looked at each other and retreated silently.
Tang Shiyue asked them to do it, instead of asking the young people to do it, just to ask them to ask for instructions and turn the matter over to the bright side.
The next day, several people came over to report it. Ding Jiu was still leading one person to protect her, while the others took their jobs.
The four people Bingqi took over the business on the grassland and contacted Han Yi and Zheng Zhi to understand the situation before going there. The pseudonym Ding Shisan said that he could take over the construction of the workshop and said that he would transfer a few people from Chang'an.
Skilled craftsmen came to assist. Ding Shishi took over the farming work and prepared to go to the land Tang Shiyue bought before to observe and learn from Chen Changqing's records on the spot.
Tang Shiyue was very satisfied. As expected of the emperor, he got into work very quickly!
Then Tang Shiyue said: "I have a suggestion."
Bingqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't believe that she was really like Ding Jiu said, a big shopkeeper who would do everything.
Then I heard Tang Shiyue say: "Are your names Ding Shisan and Ding Fourteen fake?"
Ding Jiu coughed.
The Dragon Guards are arranged according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Each character is numbered from one to twelve, and then each person leads a few to dozens of people. So Ding Jiu is the code name, Ding Shi Thirty Four, right?
It’s not wrong to have a pseudonym.
Ding Jiu said: "Yes."
"Then change your name, Ding Shishi, Ding Shiliu is unlucky. You take over the workshop, right? Your name is Ding Shiba, and you farm, Ding Shiliu."
Ding Shiba was very depressed: "County Lord, I am older than him, and I got started earlier."
"But the workshop needs to make money, so it's called eighteen... Eight means hair, do you understand? Farming requires smooth progress, and six means smoothness."
Ding Shiba did not hesitate: "Then I will farm."
Tang Shiyue spread his hands: "Okay!"
So it was such a happy decision.
Then Tang Shiyue named the person who stayed with Ding Jiu to protect her Ding Xiaoyan.
Ding Xiaoyan's eyes are not small, they are quite big and beautiful, but because "I can only have one big eye in this room", he is called Ding Xiaoyan.
Bingqi had a complicated expression after witnessing all this.
As a normal person, he felt that he was out of place in this room.
Then he asked cautiously: "Subordinate... do you need to change your name?"
Tang Shiyue said: "You can't change your surname. Besides, you are far away from each other, so I'm too lazy to care. If you want to change it, just choose it yourself! Do you think it's easy to choose a name?"
No, just ask Ding Shiliu, Ding Shiba, Ding Xiaoyan... Where is the trouble with such a name!?
Bingqi said goodbye silently.
Before leaving, Bingqi and Dingjiu each gave the other a look asking him to understand.
After everyone left, Tang Shiyue suddenly became a little worried: "Ding Jiu, you said in the future, if I have something to do to offend His Highness the Crown Prince, will he take you back? I'm finally used to it here.
He wants you to leave again, where can I find such useful people?"
Ding Jiu was speechless.
This big-hearted person, no matter who gave it to him, dared to use it, and he dared to use it on key links... but only now did he think of this?
Ding Jiu said: "Don't worry, Lord, Your Highness will not do this."
At this time, Qing Weiwei walked in hurriedly: "Master's wife, Master has written a letter!"
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed: "Give it to me, give it to me!"
This letter was written to her alone. The handwriting was extremely sloppy, and it was obviously written in a hurry.
Tang Shiyue became angry as soon as she saw it, because she didn't even recognize such cursive characters!
She slapped the letter on the table and said angrily: "What do you mean by Huo Qijing! He clearly knows... Humph! Did he do it on purpose? Does he dislike me!"
Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then looked at her hand and understood: "Master Wife, let me read it to you!"
She said: "What are you saying! I don't care to hear it!"
Qing Weiluo, who was already well aware of her temper, said: "I understand, I insist on reading it to you, please do it for me."
Then he took out the paper from her hand that was not tightly squeezed at all and started reading. (To be continued)
