14, Ji Hong was waiting for her to be anxious, and she was still wondering if she was soft-hearted, but she was moved by Wang Shiqiang's words, and let go of the good opportunity in front of her.

Now seeing that she still gave orders, she knew that no matter what they discussed this time, her decision to drive Wang Shiqiang out of Tangfang was still a certainty and could not be changed.

He hurriedly responded and said:

"Yes, big lady."

He carefully looked at Wang Shiqiang's face without gloating, and when he was about to turn around, she commanded again,

"Wait, you take this painting, ask Mr. Li to repaint it for a few minutes, and post it at the water gate and street entrance, so that the people don't admit their mistakes."

While speaking, she took the official painting of Lou Yun from the corridor that she didn't ask Xiao Ruiniang to take away, Ji Hong was about to step forward and roll it up, she shook her head slightly, and asked Ji Hong to take a closer look at the painting of you, and said:

"The official portraits of the officials of the three cities of the Great Song Dynasty have all the merchants of the Song Dynasty, and you should have seen them before - this is Lou Yun, the supervisor of the Bosi of Quanzhou City - you recognize it, tell the boys in the sù fang, whoever wants Hu Lai to offend the envoy, I can't spare them."

"Yes, big lady."

Ji Hong picked up the round lens tied to the front of his shirt, leaned in front of the protruding right eye, and looked carefully at the man in the painting, Wang Shiqiang had slowly stood up, watching her movements without saying a word, but she looked at Ji Hong sideways, and saw the placket of his clothes, a green bamboo-framed glass round lens tied with a bright red tape.

Ji Hong's protruding eyes, which she had also seen in her previous life, were the result of iodine deficiency in children in the mountains.

But since she was able to eat iodized salt in her previous life, she rarely saw it in nearby villages, let alone cities.

As for people like Ji Hong, who grew up by the sea and never lacked salt, why they have such an eye disease that affects their eyesight, she doesn't know, but his crystal lens that can adjust the vision of the eyes was ground out by Ji Erlang himself with emery and given to Ji Hong.

What he imitated was that she spent 1,000 taels of gold to buy Western glass lenses from the Xifang Yoshizumi Warehouse.

The reason why she spared no expense was because during the three years she was in Zhuma Temple, Erlang followed Mr. Li to study and be taught under the fish oil lamp day and night, and became highly short-sighted. In this way, not only did he get into a hurry, but Mr. Li, who had just accepted a smart disciple, thought that he was blind, and ran away from home with the intention of fending for himself.

The physical principle of the concave mirror and the convex mirror was when she explained the myopia to Erlang after she found him, and told him to listen.

Although in her previous life, she only graduated from junior high school and had to follow her fellow villagers to work in coastal cities under the silent eyes of her parents, what she was thinking about every month was to reverse the first three shifts of the shoe-making workshop assembly line, save the wages earned as a female worker, and send them home.

But she studied textbooks for three years in junior high school, but she has always been as if carved in her heart.

Perhaps during that time in the mountain school, although I could not see the high-rise buildings in the coastal cities, I could not hear the whistle of the 10,000-ton giant ship in the port factory, let alone the iron and steel giant arms waving at the same time by hundreds of cranes in the port, and the shipping containers that were almost piled up on the blue skyline layer after layer......

But the simplicity of the blue sky that can be seen through the dense green canopy in the mountain road, and the rush of the stream that must flood in the spring ten miles outside the mountain school, still constitutes her simple and happy childhood.

"Big lady?"

She came back to her senses and nodded, thinking about the situation on the "Red Sleeves Fragrance Map",

"Go, I heard that the people waiting in this Lou Lord's mansion are all Yi girls from all over the world given to him by the merchants, you go to Xifang to do a little bit of something, and let them find three or four beautiful Fusang women outside the fang to rent for half a year, you and their parents said that if they can please that lord with their hearts, I can guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Wang Shiqiang's face was gloomy, Ji Jiang heard her actually talk about the Xifang skin and meat business that she had never paid attention to before, and knew that she had to make friends with Lou Yun, no matter what, she wanted to satisfy him.

If he can handle this well, she can't say that his old account will be turned over in her heart.

"Yes, big lady."

He kept the matter in his heart, and hesitated slightly, "Shiliang Gongzi is outside the workshop, do you invite him to sit in the Ji family's warehouse, or invite him to come and see the eldest lady in person?" ”

"Just let him go directly to the Wang's Warehouse to rest, and I'll see him when I have time."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that this seventeenth prince was far from being able to enter the Ji family's warehouse like Hu, Liu, and Chen, and Xie Guoyun, Wang Shiqiang, and Huang Qilang, who she personally received in the small courtyard.

Perhaps, although Wang Shiqiang was calculated by her to lose all his property and was about to be driven out of Tangfang, she still knew clearly in her heart which of the two brothers of the Wang family was strong and who was weak.

"You tell Shiliang Gongzi again, the fifty-seven docks, warehouses, and shops under the name of Wang's warehouse have always been two accounts, one is taken care of by the stewards selected by Wang Gang, and the other is used by my Tang Fang and the Wang family to reconcile accounts, if he has any problems with the accounts of these properties, just go to Mr. Li to borrow the accounts - in addition, the guy who can settle the accounts has everything in our Tang Fang, if he comes from afar and lacks manpower, Tang Fang will naturally respond to his needs in Wang Gang's head."

"Qing Niang-!"

Wang Shiqiang didn't expect that she was afraid that Wang Shiliang was not his opponent, and she would do everything possible to pave the way for him to settle in Tangfang, she smiled and said: "Wang Gang is busy with many people, and the stewards will inevitably neglect Shiliang Gongzi, since he is also a member of the Siming Wang family, how can I be lazy?" ”

Ji Hong is naturally clever, knowing that those stewards are Wang Shiqiang's henchmen, and he has many years of experience in Tangfang, it is too easy to fool a newcomer who goes to the sea on the accounts, even if the Hu and Liu families sent veterans of the tent, after all, they are not familiar with these dock accounts, but with her help, Wang Shiliang naturally knows which most important and oily docks should be chosen, so that his cousin will be driven out of Tangfang faster.

He didn't need to listen to her orders anymore, and he didn't care about Wang Shiqiang's pale face, he immediately lowered his head and took the scroll, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

When I was about to get to the door, I vaguely heard Wang Shiqiang's voice,

"Qingniang, you should know the reason why I haven't handed over these properties."

In the interval between the few words just now, he seemed to have calmed down, and even threw away the old love of his youth, and restored all the calculations of coming to the door today to force his relatives.

"If I don't understand, I'm afraid Wang Gangshou won't believe it."

She looked at him coldly, but after all, she still nodded, and said:

"You are worried that my woman is cowardly, and she will not participate in the war of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and the Northern Expedition plan you submitted will come to naught-you control these key points in Tangfang, and when the time comes, the words that persuade me will have some weight."

Maybe it was from this incident that she always knew in her heart that he didn't believe her, but maybe maybe her hesitation had always fallen in his eyes

"Qingniang, in fact, you don't believe that the Northern Expedition plan I submitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion will be successful?"

He stood up and looked directly at her, "At the beginning, you always persuaded me to stay in Tangfang after getting married, and you didn't want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty at all." ”

At that time, she and him were in love, but they had many quarrels over whether she would marry back to the Great Song Dynasty after marriage or whether he would stay in Tangfang.

At that time, he helped Tangfang to build a workshop, and jointly drove Fujian maritime merchants out of the East China Sea market, making great contributions to Jiangsu and Zhejiang maritime merchants, which made the elders of the family acquiesce to his marriage.

And he also turned over once, and as a concubine, he openly proposed to divide the house in front of his mother-in-law, and he must marry Ji Shi, an overseas girl, as his wife, so that Ji Qingchen, who had always been worried that he would not disobey his parents' orders, was full of joy, but she still refused to marry back to Mingzhou, and repeatedly offered to put all the Tangfang properties under her name into his private name, let him stay in Tangfang, and it was enough to go back to the Siming Wang's house to meet the elders once a year when the ship was escorted.

He knew that after the house was divided, although she didn't have to be angry in the old mansion with him, because of the lack of guidance from the female relatives of the Wang family, she would have a hard time interacting with the female relatives of the Wang family in Mingzhou, which was completely unfamiliar.

His biological mother was of low birth and could not support her.

She herself was born in Yinu, and she had no relatives in the Great Song Dynasty, but he also persuaded her deeply, with her connections in the maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although it was a little difficult at the beginning, as long as her two younger brothers were still in Tangfang, the family members in the maritime merchants would be courteous to her.

It took her a year or two to make friends with her heart, and she was able to dissolve into the circle of the Mingzhou maritime merchant family.

As for her raising children for him at home, disciplining her family, taking care of the house, and managing her business, of course, it is not a problem, it is enough for him to worry about the future, he will also envelop some uncles and brothers in the clan, and the division of the house is also to stand on her own, and sooner or later she will make some female relatives of the Wang family, and it will be good after a long time.

Speaking of the future, after he becomes an official, she will inevitably have to have some dealings with the official family's dependents, and as a Yi girl, she will inevitably be despised and ridiculed, but the Zhao official family has the grace of going down to the city ship, whether it is a Song merchant or a fan businessman, a businessman who can handle more than 3,000 overseas business under the city ship division can get the official title of Jiupin Chengshilang.

Which of the Song Shanggang leaders she made friends with in Tangfang did not have an official position?

Not to mention that she is the lord of Tangfang, and over the years she has also welcomed the envoys sent to Fuso by the Goryeo State and the Okinawa State at the port, in order to facilitate business, she has invited them to come to Tangfang every time to set up a banquet to entertain, and they have also been summoned to the Honglu Pavilion to participate in the state banquet according to the Song rites, and ask about the trade in the East China Sea.

She will never really be insightful and informed, and will be ridiculed by the officials of the state, and he will invite a female school teacher to come, and let her learn more about the poetry and books he taught her in the past.

What's more, in addition to the royal family of the clan, after all, after a woman gets married, she is a wife and a husband, and when he goes up step by step, she will be able to live a happy life.

The time when the biggest quarrel was, he just hated her for worrying about the sky and not knowing the world, and actually said that the reason why she was unwilling to marry back to the Great Song Dynasty to settle down was that there might be a tribe called Mongolia in the northwest, and her ambitions were not small......

That was the time, because he heard her nonsense, after slamming the door and leaving in this small courtyard, he couldn't help but have the thought of "it's not suitable after all".

But at that time, why was he willing to break up with her?

And after three days, she also quietly found his warehouse, and after missing his figure, she got on his cargo ship to look for him.

She begged him softly through the hatch, although she could hear the hesitation in her tone, she still agreed to marry back to the Great Song Dynasty and settle in Mingzhou City with him outside the cabin door that he was unwilling to open for her.

Therefore, he is also willing to believe that she is talking nonsense, all because he is afraid of leaving his two younger brothers and having no relatives to rely on in Da Song.

And whether these were one of the reasons why he finally gave up his marriage with her ruthlessly, he didn't want to think about it anymore......

"Wang Gangshou, I heard that Prime Minister Han has been making suggestions to your Zhao official family for the past half a year, and he wants to set up a Pingzhang political affairs."

She suddenly spoke, and the topic turned to the Northern Expedition that he was most concerned about, and he couldn't help but listen attentively,

"I know that the main battle in the imperial court is headed by Prime Minister Han, but these days I also asked someone to copy the newspaper of the palace half a year ago, and the local officials who oppose the Northern Expedition in various places may not be unreasonable, although I don't understand the war, what I care about is myself, Chenlong and Chenlong, and the 30,000 people in the fang can have a safe place to live, whether there are full days to live, and if the war starts in a hurry, it will indeed be difficult and the people will be poor-"

"You..."

He originally had an uncomfortable look because of the past three years ago, but at this time it was ugly, "Aren't you looking at Lou Yun's twists and turns?" ”
