Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

"Now there are more than 200,000 pieces of silk piled up in the cargo hold, and there are more than 800,000 pieces of porcelain. Can you take all of them?" Cai Jingfang asked.

"Can you pretend?" Ling Qingyu turned to ask Ding Dong.

"No problem, I also brought the ship from Quanzhou this time, even people can bring goods." Ding Dong patted his chest and said.

"Has all the tea ingredients that I entered this time been replaced by tea?" Ling Qingyu turned around and asked Cai Jingfang.

"Change, this year our own tea garden just produced tea, the texture is not very good, Fuzhou has been made into tea cakes, here is loose tea." Cai Jingfang replied.

"Well, our own tea plantation is only two years old. It is true that when there is no good tea, the tea produced will be shipped and sold outside. Half of the tea imported for tea will be sent to Han Mian, Dangxiang and Tubo. This side is very lacking. If he comes back with gold, silver, jewellery and jade raw materials, our own tea garden will also be expanded. Mr. Tang will be transferred from you to take care of tea.” Ling Qingyu said, Cai Jingfang kept the record.

"Okay, I'm going to tell Tang Tiansheng, right, is there also a special manager in the Zhifang area?" Cai Jingfang asked.

"If you want, who do you two think is suitable?" Ling Qingyu asked. Now that the weaving workshop is too big and has become an industry, it is indeed necessary to set up a separate shopkeeper.

"I think Mr. Zhou Haozhou is good." Cai Jingfang said.

Zheng Xi nodded and said, "Zhou Hao is very pragmatic, and he is very rigorous in his calculations. Now that Zhifang is on the right track, such a person is needed."

"Well, please come tomorrow, two gentlemen, let's talk about this." Ling Qingyu nodded. When I checked the store last time, I saw that these young people have been trained, so that Cai Jingfang and Zheng Xi can also spare time and energy to expand.

"Ding Dong, bring a letter to Wu Da, build more ships for inland use, and build a few more sea ships. We will not stop in Quanzhou this time, and we will go back next time." Ling Qingyu said to Ding Dong. Then he smiled and said, "Speaking of this, you guys won't wait for me to get married. When will you call a sister-in-law, let's add makeup and a wedding wine?"

"It's not in a hurry. When you are in charge, when you are not in such a hurry every time, let's call our wife to kowtow to you." Zheng Xi smiled.

"Knocking is unnecessary. Ask Yinlou to order three sets of noodles for me. I will present them to the three sisters-in-law."

After laughing, Ling Qingyu said: "So, when everyone gets on the boat, we will set off."

In addition to the large quantities of porcelain and silk, the goods that I brought this time also added a variety of items such as wine, tea, lacquerware, and there were hundreds of types of goods returned. After everyone had discussed it, they dispersed and prepared, it was already dark.

Seeing Ling Qingyu rubbing his brows and showing a tired look on his face, the men standing outside the door began to feel heartache, but they couldn't help out what she did, and they could only do it by the side. Just anxious.

"Girl, can you put a meal?" Bai Wei asked Ling Qingyu, turning the light on.

"Huh? It's so late, eat and eat!" Ling Qingyu smiled after collecting the account books on the table. Nowadays, there are more and more people to support. The new 20,000 people will cost more than two million taels a year. We must consider the north and the interests of Ding Budong, Zheng Xi, Cai Jingfang and others in the south. , The stall is big, there are more things to worry about.

Before leaving, Ling Qingyu quietly went to Xiao's house. Xiao Cang's body was already very weak, and he was lying on the bed when he saw her.

"Why don't I bring Xiao Se back to see you this time?" Ling Qingyu said unconsciously.

Xiao Cang shook his head and said with a chuckle: "No need to trouble, I can't wait for you to come back, the Ling masters, now the queen mother is bound to win the Xiao family, and Cher's return will only be dangerous."

After a moment of silence, Ling Qingyu asked: "I have always been surprised that Murong's family is the Queen Mother's family, and you and Murong's family are relatives. Why do you want to kill the Xiao family?"

"It's precisely because Murong is the Queen Mother's natal family," Xiao Cang gasped, and said, "Although my wife and the younger sister who married into the Murong family are the same father and half mother, they are not in harmony. The Murong family started because of the forces in the martial arts. , And then sent the current empress dowager into the palace. Although the empress dowager has a low status, she gave birth to a good son and finally became the emperor, which made the Murong family so prominent today. My Xiao family has been handed down from the previous dynasty, although it is now in the official career. Declining, but the financial resources are beyond the Murong family's ability to compare. Now the emperor's body is not good enough, and the queen mother is already late, and I am in this situation. It is the best time for the Murong family to swallow us. How could the queen mother let go this time? opportunity?"

"That? Does your wife's natal family leave it alone?" Ling Qingyu said still puzzled.

"Haha," Xiao Cang smiled sadly: "Ling is the master, my wife's father is King Chu."

what! Ling Qingyu unconsciously covered his mouth, and then said: "I'm sorry." This can explain why the queen mother suppressed the Xiao family, but the Xiao family has no power to fight back. Xiao Se is the grandson of the person convicted of rebellion, so she can find it casually. All excuses can be killed.

"Ling boss, that Zhu Weili was the father-in-law's right-hand man at the beginning, a very powerful person, if possible, can you ask Ling boss to accept Se'er as a disciple?" Xiao Cang asked after coughing twice.

"It's not difficult. I think Mr. Zhu likes him very much." Ling Qingyu nodded and said, then, seeing Xiao Cang as if there was nothing to explain, he said: "So, I'll leave first, and you have a good rest."

"Master." With the candle light up, Xiao Rong approached the bed and called out Xiao Cang, who was sitting on the bedside in thought.

"She's gone?" Xiao Cang was stunned, then came back to his senses and asked.

"Well, sir, don’t you need to tell her about Xie’s family?" Xiao Rong waited for a while, but couldn’t help asking. He had received the news that Xie’s family had assembled private soldiers in Guangzhou and was ready to do something, although he didn’t know it would be targeted. Who, but should also tell Xia Ling the master, let her have a guard.

"If she can't even deal with the Xie family, how can she protect my siblings?" Xiao Cang sighed.

"Ling masters are now so close to General Yang, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, if the young master gets involved." Xiao Rong arched and stood beside the bed.

"Who else knows about their family? This is to help them cover up, and that Han Xian is also a personal thing, you have a chance to remind him." After coughing twice, Xiao Cang said. Yang Zhao has military power in his hands, which is a double-edged sword for Ling Qingyu. It can be a protector, but it is more likely to be a disaster.

"Han Mian did it in a concealed manner. The grain and grass sent to Heishuiguan were settled with the imperial court for tea at the market price, and then he bought a large amount of tea on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road. I think he is going to sell all of it. Fanwai. I'm afraid that this one round trip will make them more than ten times more profitable." Xiao Rong said, unconsciously complimenting Ling Qingyu and Han Dian, these two people really know how to do business, and the sales of tea in Dazhou have all been sold by several big tycoons. Monopoly, the general merchants who get the tea lead have no market, so they can only sell the tea lead to the cross lead bank at a low price. However, Han Mian took the tea lead to directly pick up the goods by himself, not selling it at all but shipping them all. Shipped to Fanwai, I am afraid that a few rounds will be a profit of millions of taels of silver.

"She has a lot of capable people," Xiao Cang smiled faintly, and said, "I also hope she can teach Se'er sincerely."

Seeing that Xiao Cang's expression was already very exhausted, Xiao Rong lowered the candlelight and exited the bedroom.

Seeing the silent night outside, Xiao Rong sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he sent the young master out. Otherwise, the 100-year-old Xiao family might be completely ruined.

The appointment of Tang Tiansheng as the shopkeeper of tea shop and Zhou Hao as the shopkeeper of Zhifang made them both excited and touched. They had the urge to die for their confidants. They were originally scholars, and now they have been in business for a few years before knowing that they actually did it. Business is the most difficult thing. What's the use of only reading dead books and shouting slogans, but the two did not expect that Ling Qingyu would directly mention them both in this position. Now the Ling family’s weaving workshop has become the largest in the south of the Yangtze River. The number of weaving workshops, and the number of tea mountains is also increasing sharply, they could not even think of the huge number of hands.

Seeing the two of them, Ling Qingyu said, "I believe that the talents of the two will definitely make our Ling's tea shop and weaving workshop a higher level."

"Never insult your life!" Tang Tiansheng and Zhou Hao bowed their hands. Others, just look at ours.

After sending away the two shopkeepers, Ling Qingyu began to write letters to Yang Zhao and Han Mian. When she returned from Xiao’s house, she remembered one thing. When she was in Daixian, she saw the locals using coal for heating and remembered this era. In fact, there are already technologies for digging coal and making coal for heating, and coal is far more fuel than wood for smelting. There are a lot of high-quality coal mines on Hebei Road! And seeing the mutton white jade in the treasure house also made her heart-stirred. If she could open a trade route with Xiliang, then she could obtain the raw materials of mutton white jade, and her ambition to monopolize the luxury goods market throbbed in her heart. .

After writing the letter, Ling Qingyu handed it to Fang Nianyuan along with the few copies of Mohist cheats.

"Nianyuan, can we build a more concealed channel that only our own people know outside of the channel of the firm, fast and safe." Putting down the pen, Ling Qingyu asked.

"Naturally." Fang Nianyuan received the letter and asked, "Does the master want to build it?" He was originally responsible for scouts and intelligence work, which is not difficult for him.

"Well, our current business lines have been developed, but as the saying goes, we know ourselves and our enemies will win every battle. To be honest, the Ling family is developing so fiercely, it is a huge piece of fat. If you don’t understand the enemy’s situation, when will you be eaten? I don't even know if I drop it. I want to start with my own store to establish an information channel, not only for commercial information from various places, but also for imperial dynamics. The spread of this information requires our own channel." Ling Qingyu said.

Fang Nianyuan didn't speak for a while, and looked at her in a daze. After a long while, Fang smiled and said, "The master is very thoughtful, don't worry, leave this to me."

"Well, but tomorrow we will get on the boat, or not?" Ling Qingyu hesitated and said.

"No, I will keep people here, and I will also notify the general to ask Li Yan to send scouts over." Fang Nianyuan said. The people he brought over this time are more suitable for naval warfare. If he wants to establish a channel, he still has to use his original manpower. There were already a thousand people in his camp who were ready to do this. Unexpectedly, the master was actually Thinking of going with General Yang.

"That's good." Ling Qingyu smiled relieved and said: "Then take a break today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Qing Yu." After Fang Nianyuan left, Yan San approached Ling Qingyu and called out.

"Ok?"

"This time I want to keep Yingshi and Yinger in Dazhou." Yan Sandao helped her massage her head.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Ling Qingyu asked comfortably.

"You just talked about the channel, I think we still have to have our own source of intelligence. We are not here at these times and want them to investigate something." Although the Jiuhua faction has passed, this is also for Yan San. I am reminded that there is Yang Zhao here. Ling Qingyu always wants to return to Da Zhou, and Da Zhou is no exception. There are people waiting to bite when she walks with such a big piece of fat. The risk factor is high, I don’t know how much. Levels, so the movements of the arena must be clear.
