The day after Zhao Dujian returned, he came to the cottage again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This time, without mentioning any conditions, the Qingzhou Mansion sent out 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the Qingzhou Governor selected two capable people to lead the team and rushed to Liaocheng to fight with Xiao Yu.

Soon after, Nan Chen's army joined in. Xiao Yu captured the three cities of Dayan as he wished, but it was difficult to advance northward, the two sides were deadlocked, Qingfeng Village was the rear, and everything was calm.

In the late autumn afternoon, the streets along the Qingzhou River are particularly noisy.

Located on a street lined with shops near the wharf, the goods are busy up and down.

There is a large warehouse door at the back of the shop where the Mui Kee cloth store is hung, and the door opens from the side for easy access. At this time, a cargo ship loaded with goods stopped at the dock and ready to go, goods, porters, and guys kept coming in and out, and the whole scene was busy and crowded.

Now that Yan and Song are fighting, Dayan has broken through the defense line of Qishan in the north of the Song Dynasty, attacking the land and grabbing the land, pressing step by step, and it seems that they are about to hit the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The great families of the north are all vying to move south. Some ordinary people also dragged their families and families to flee for their lives in the south. There are also Dayan civilians in the three prefectures and counties of Dayan in the north, who have been affected by the war.

These people gathered in Qingzhou City day by day, and the ensuing various public security problems put a lot of pressure on the Qingzhou government, and the streets and alleys were talking about it, saying that a group of officials and masters of Qingzhou City were considering closing the city gate, and they would not easily let the victims into the city in the future.

As soon as the city gates are closed, the business of the cloth shop will definitely be damaged, and the people in the city will be panicked, and all walks of life will be affected.

The brocades of the two workshops under Jiang Li's name are in the peak season for production and sales, and these rumors have not affected the business of the Mei Ji Splendid Workshop in the slightest.

Mei Kee Cloth Co., Ltd. has prepared sufficient goods, and the raw silk raw materials used in the brocade weaving are constantly being transported from all over the place, and the newly produced brocade in the workshop is filled with a whole shipload of goods every once in a while and sent to overseas sales. The business of the textile workshop is running in a step-by-step manner.

Jiang Li took Xiaoxiang and Jin Ju into the warehouse. followed by Aunt Hong and Autumn Frost. Later, Dumb led a large group of gray-clothed men to be on guard not far away, and since he fought from the Qingfeng Village Mountain, Jiang Li went out every day to fight.

Sixi and Ge Hai rushed back to the capital to pick up the Jiang family's people to move to Jiangnan, as well as Sixi's family and Ge's shopkeeper, they were all on their way south. Now that the situation is unstable, the road to the south must not be peaceful, for the sake of safety, Jiang Li asked Sixi and Ge Hai to take the Zhao brothers with them.

The outer floor of the warehouse looks like a large pharmacy, with huge shelves displaying boxes of various cloths and dyes of various colors, and at this time there are new brocade samples from the workshop, which are constantly moving to the warehouse. These samples must be placed on the counter first, and the shopkeeper and the guy in charge of this will be seen first.

However, at this time, in addition to the shopkeeper who was in charge of the store and warehouse here, Jiang Li, as the owner, was also looking at these samples in the counter.

The weather at the end of autumn is still not necessarily cool, Jiang Li is wearing a plain white long skirt with wide sleeves and a waist, the skirt and cuffs are embroidered with plum blossoms, a very ordinary style, but it is refreshing and concise on her, without losing the atmosphere, which is pleasing to the eye.

If you look at it more, the slanted black hair, the delicate face, the white and pink skin, the wise and clear and charming apricot eyes - one more look will always make people unable to take their eyes off.

While others were busy in the storeroom, she also walked around the counter like a drugstore, opening a newly delivered box from time to time to see the new brocade pattern. Or open the small drawer in the counter and take out the paint used to dye the cloth in the drawer and study it carefully.

From time to time, the shopkeeper on the side instructed which pigments could only be used for dyeing cloth and not for brocade. Or discuss with the shopkeeper which brocade fancy is not selling well, and let him give some advice.

During this time, there were many kinds of things in storage, many of which were used to dye cloth, and some of which had already been dyed for brocade, brocade that had been made into finished products, and even looms for brocade.

There are many things, and they are all stuffed into the warehouse, and some are even divided into other warehouses. While the porters and guys were busy, Jiang Li and women like Jin Ju Qiushuang Xiaoxiang were mixed in, but there was no incongruity, mainly because Jiang Li was already familiar with dealing with these things.

In her absence, the shopkeeper and the guys here can probably figure this out, but as long as she comes over, the welfare of the people who work will be better. If the time is tight and the task is heavy, she also asks the shopkeeper to give some reward to the workers who work early. When she needed her workers to work overtime, she was not stingy with money.

Jiang Li watched the guys unload the goods at the warehouse counter, there were a lot of goods today, the ship didn't wait for anyone, and she looked like she had to work overtime, so she ordered Jin Ju to go to the restaurant opposite, and instructed the restaurant to prepare food and drinks for the workers who were going to work overtime tonight.

Seeing that there was nothing to deal with on the counter, Jiang Li went out to the dock cargo ship.

There are all kinds of interests involved behind the busy business, and the gang forces are scrambling to grab it, and there are always several fights and brawls on the dock every few days. However, Jiang Li was already familiar with the atmosphere here, she asked Aunt Hong and Qiushuang to stay in the warehouse, and Dumb hurriedly led people to follow Jiang Li.

Jiang Li walked all the way to the dock, and helped the two guys who carried the box to help the box, the two guys thanked them repeatedly, and she smiled and said, "It's okay." Sideways to let the two guys pass, she continued on her way.

The wharf was bustling with people, and there was a cargo ship parked on the side of the wharf that was ready to go to sea, this cargo ship was bought by Jiang Li from his uncle Mei Yuanshan not long ago, and the sailors and stewards on the ship were all people who worked a lot with the Mei family, and they were absolutely down-to-earth and reliable. The cargo ship was going to go to sea before dark today, and Jiang Li thought of carefully checking it on the ship.

As she walked to the dock, a young man in the crowd sneaked a few sneaky glances at her, suddenly squeezed through the crowd and leaned over, reached out sharply, grabbed a sachet hanging from her waist and ran.

Jiang Li was startled, and instinctively grabbed it in a panic, but he only had time to grab the rope that tied the sachet. As soon as the man exerted his strength, the string pulled through Jiang Li's palm, and the palm of her hand was hot and painful, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the sachet took off her hand.

Before the man could run two steps away, he was knocked down by Dumb in the crowd behind him, Dumb took back the sachet in the man's hand, took the lead in making a move, and several men in gray greeted the man with fists and feet.

Several gray-clothed men were all good hands in Qingfeng Village, and their hands were quite heavy, and several people's fists and feet hit the young man, and blood splashed out in three or two strokes.

Jiang Li clenched his fists, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Stop!" Silently took the sachet handed over by Dumb and hung it up, "Help him up, give him some silver, and let him go." Jiang Li sighed and walked quickly onto the cargo ship parked at the dock.
