Chapter 24

Ziyan sat quietly on the side, pouring wine and vegetables, and didn't say a word, as if everything really had nothing to do with her, and Gong Zhimo didn't know what she was thinking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But she doesn't speak, and Xiang Yu won't let her be left out in the cold.

"Yu'er, speaking of which, you and Brother Gongyi are also world friends, why don't you speak today?" Xiang Yu didn't actually mean anything else, but he was simply afraid that Ziyan's silence and non-participation in the speech would be too boring, and he wanted her to participate too. But these words clearly and secretly mean that Ziyan is his person. This kind of emotional color may not even be thought of by himself, but it is not very comfortable in the ears of Ziyan and Gongzhimo, who have their own plans in their hearts.

Ziyan pulled the corners of her mouth, and the smile in her eyes was shallow, like a mist of green lotus, distant but not illusory, gentle but difficult to get close to: "The family education is strict, I have never seen outsiders, Brother Xiang knows." What's more, when it comes to family and country affairs, where is there room for a woman's family to interject? "I have to say that Ziyan is good at acting skills, and after Xiang Yu saw this, she seemed to only show her full strategy in front of Xiang's uncle and nephew, and did not want the hidden family to know her talent; In the eyes of the public loss Zhimo, he was afraid of arousing the vigilance of Xiang's uncle and nephew in Taoguang.

The world is bustling, people come and go, but she doesn't have anyone she can fully trust. Everyone is just a partner with tied interests, but there is no one who can be truly trusted and does not have to be a showman! How sad it is! In this wave that is about to subvert the world, she can only walk alone in the dark, groping around, no one around her, no one is credible, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape the fateful catastrophe, how sad it is!

It seems that you have to find some confidants, you can't put everything in the hands of others, you have to leave some hole cards. The thought rang in her mind again.

In fact, of course, the things in her hands now are not only the eight textile factories and two paper factories in Zhimo, but also the weaving and garment workshops in the hands of the Xiang family. Of course, she naturally has no control, she just eats dividends.

That can't be called a factory, it can only be called a large workshop. Xiang's uncle and nephew couldn't see the value outside the military, so Ziyan pushed the boat down the river and asked them to make this a military industry, undoubtedly, this benefit made Xiang Liang happy, and greatly improved their control over the army, after all, the family relied on them to eat, how could there be any reason not to work hard? But what about this output...... After all, it's a background thing, an iron rice bowl, and Ziyan hides a hand, and there is no complete reward and punishment system, so the workers are very naturally passive and slacking off, who called Xiang's uncle and nephew too straightforward? As long as the soldiers remain in the army, their families will not lose their jobs. Ziyan estimates that even if it is completely built, it will only be able to offset the income and expenditure at most, not to mention that it has just been invested now, it is purely a money burn, and Xiang's uncle and nephew will not make money in the first place, and that "subsidiary benefit" will be enough for them. So they had to buy a lot of cloth from the factory that had also just been put into production and had a large amount of output. There is another thing in Ziyan's hands, that is, the workshop that created the overlord gun for Xiang Yu was under Ziyan's name, and both parties knew the reason, but they just gave her some benefits every once in a while and borrowed her name. Speaking of which, this is the only thing under the name of Ziyan.

In fact, at this time, the banquet was nearing the end, and this time it was originally for that batch of cloth. Ziyan thought about it together, and had already analyzed the benefits and disadvantages in his heart, and the Xiang family was determined not to find a confidant who belonged to him completely. The Xiang family's control of domestic slaves is not a joke, almost every one of them is a confidant, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to develop under their noses. Therefore, if you want to develop your henchmen, the first thing you need to do is to leave the house!

Thinking of it, Ziyan smiled slightly: "For many years, I rarely go to the front hall, let alone go out of the house, every day I see only that little side of the world, and the mind pattern is all trivial matters of the daughter's family, where can I afford to talk about this national event?" Brother Xiang didn't mean to make a fool of himself? ”

Xiang Yu thought about it, and indeed felt that Ziyan's ideas were sometimes good but difficult to implement, but he didn't plan or even fear that she had too strong abilities. He wished that Ziyan could only be attached to him. But he also heard it, Ziyan wanted to leave the house.

I don't know what I think, but I also agreed: "Miss Yu is young and beautiful, it is the time when she is lively and active, but she is really bored when she stays in the house all day, and it is normal to want to see the prosperity of the world outside the house." ”

Ziyan Yingying raised her eyebrows, and retreated as advance: "Don't make fun of the little girl, where in this world is there a reason for a woman to walk alone in the market?" How is that different from a woman in the market, and what kind of system is it? It's also too shame-grieving. ”

The hypocritical Ziyan who said this wanted to vomit herself, but in the eyes of these two men, there was a bit of self-pity and coquettish stupidity, and Xiang Yu's hormones rushed to his brain: "Why not?" Wouldn't it be nice if I took you out? ”

Hooked. "Brother Xiang, what are you talking about? People haven't left the cabinet yet, how can there be a reason to walk with men and wander around the city? ”

Xiang Yu doesn't like to hear this, and it's not that he hasn't gone out! But when he saw that Gong Zhimo was also present, he thought that Ziyan was just a courtesy that he didn't want to show in front of outsiders, so as not to attract people's handles. Poor Gong lost Zhimo, lying down and was also shot, that time with him lonely men and widows traveled together was just a long time after the purple smoke just crossed, and there was no concept of male and female defense in this era.

It was naturally impossible for him to know what Xiang Yu was thinking, but he pitied Ziyan's desire to leave the mansion, so he thought: "So what? I heard that I would be rich for a long time, but I was ashamed to say that I had not visited the city for more than a month, so I don't know if I could ask Xiang Gongzi for some advice? ”

In this era, women have not been poisoned by Confucianism too much, and there is no Zhu Xi who is old and does not repair countless shackles for women, so even if there is no high status of men, it has not reached the point where the door is not out of the door. In the last years of the Warring States Period, there were even daughters in the clan who feasted and drank merchants on behalf of their fathers and brothers, and the politics of the queen mother was not uncommon. It is not appropriate for men and women to go alone, but it is just to avoid suspicion, and if there are many people traveling together, then there is nothing. So when Ziyan heard the words of the public loss and stop the ink, she was overjoyed: It's done!

Xiang Yu was also refreshing, "Okay, let's go!" ”

In this way, after Gong Zhimo came to Xiang Mansion, he would invite Ziyan Xiang Yu to wander around. Xiang Yu also knew his thoughts, and he didn't think much about it, and sometimes he would take the initiative to invite Gongyi Zhimo to travel with Ziyan. After going back and forth, they gradually understood the girl's lively nature, knew that they all liked to go shopping, and then showed her the road in the city, and then followed her to wander freely, anyway, at this time, no one knew that she was from Xiangfu, and no one dared to offend Xiangfu.
