Chapter 19: Sister and Brother Separate

"Send a letter and let Erlang come back."

She groaned.

Now that Fujian maritime merchants and envoys have come to Tangfang, she has also patiently planned for several years, investing a large amount of gold sand and sea pearls, of course, she can't let Ji Chenlong and Ji Chenhu stay out of the matter.

When men outside fight in groups, they will say "fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers", and she is still a woman, and she has two younger brothers in vain.

It's just that Ji Chenhu didn't let her worry......

After she finished ordering, she looked at Ji Hong again and said:

"The Grange is indeed too close to the new pavilion, and in your opinion, is it because there is nowhere to live, so that the envoy cannot go ashore?"

Ji Hongzheng was full of joy because she finally recalled Ji Chenlong, and at this time, he heard her ask his opinion on such a big matter, knowing that it was a sign of turning over, but he was even more careful.

He knew that this was Ji Qingchen trying him.

Ji's mother didn't leave immediately, Xiao Ruiniang, who stopped him at the door yesterday, was looking at him slyly with her eyes rolling.

"From the villain's point of view, if the eldest lady has made a contract with the Chen family, she will definitely be able to lead the envoy to Fusang, rather than letting him live in the Honglu Pavilion, it is better to invite him to live in Tangfang."

He gritted his teeth, although he was reluctant to let Ji Chenhu have a long face, but he knew that he was standing in this courtyard to represent Erlang, in order to make Ji Chenlong more able to speak in front of the eldest lady, and inherit the position of the owner of the workshop in the future, he still persuaded with a smile,

"The Nanfang mansion under the name of San Lang is a new house that the eldest lady asked Song Craftsman to build according to the appearance of the Song painting, and prepared a new house for him and Xu Qi Niangzi to marry, and it has only been three years since today, and they have not yet married. The villain didn't see such a good house in Kyoto in Goryeo, so he wanted to come forward and invite the six leaders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to join Chen Gangshou, and respectfully invite the envoy to stay in it, and set up a banquet every day, not only to show the great lady's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty to the envoy, but also to report it to the Zhao Guan's family, and in the future, the business between the fang and the Fujian maritime merchants will also be smoother - the matter of the grange will not be leaked.

“…… Don't worry about the Grange. ”

Ji Qingchen nodded after all, knowing that he was fierce in appearance but meticulous in his mind, he was indeed a person who could do things, and Ji Chenlong, who was twelve years old at the time, set off alone to lobby the remnants of Middle Earth in the fishing village in Kitakyushu, and asked them to move to Tangfang to open the river together, and the first person he met was Ji Hong.

Before he met Ji Chenlong, he was just a fish picker in the fishing village of Kitakyushu who had a meal but not a meal, and he was doing a business of collecting fish in the fishing village and sending it to Fusang merchants to sell.

However, it was he who had the vision to be the first to believe in Ji Chenlong's lobbying, believing in their promise to live a better life if they moved to Tsukushigang, and in order to help Ji Chenlong, he also offered a desperate plan to cut off his retreat.

He secretly sprinkled the grass juice of poisonous fish near the seven fishing villages where he usually collected and sold fish, forcing more than 100 fishermen in the village to take their wives and daughters and go down the coast with their wives and daughters without food rations, and finally embarked on the road of relocation with Ji Chenlong.

And these 100 fishermen, 3,000 or 4,000 remnants of Middle Earth, plus more than a dozen families in the small fishing village of Tangfang swamp where Erlang's adoptive father, Mr. Li, lived, they were the main force that dug the first river channel in Tangfang.

"Mom, go run errands."

She took Xiao Ruiniang's hand and nodded to Ji's mother.

Mother Ji glanced at Ji Hong, turned around and left under his salute, Ji Qingchen couldn't help but smile slightly.

At the beginning, Ji Hong praised Erlang as the owner of the workshop when he opened the workshop, relying on his identity as the patriarch of the workshop, and opposed her in everything.

opposed her establishment of a workshop, opposed the introduction of Song merchants, opposed to learning Chinese and Chinese books, in short, he was against everything she said to the end, and he actually let him gather a group of people in the north and south squares.

Especially the old village chiefs in the fishing villages who were illiterate, most of them were unwilling to re-enter the workshop to learn literacy, nor were they willing to obey the management of the streets, so they were naturally moved by him and supported Ji Chenlong as the owner.

If it weren't for the fact that Erlang had read Hanshu with Mr. Li since he was a child, he didn't support their opinions, and she knew that Ji Hong was arrogant and inevitably misbehaved, and he might not be able to get his wish.

At that time, she didn't know how to manage Tang Fang.

Fortunately, after two months of patience, she finally caught Ji Hongqiang robbing the girl to get married.

"I wanted Wang Shiqiang to let them know that Tangfang opened the field, but they couldn't figure it out, last year we deliberately bought 50,000 catties of grain from the outside as in previous years, and now there are only three days of stock but there is no movement to buy grain, Wang Shiqiang may not have gotten the news, he is just a temptation."

She paused, and then explained,

"I don't have to buy grain from him now, and of course I won't be threatened by the Chen family in Fujian on the grain issue in the future, which is beneficial to him, and he just wants me to know that if he really lets him retreat, he is not afraid to turn his face and become enemies."

She knew that although Ji Hong was obedient now, the idea in her heart must still be the same as back then.

But remembering that Erlang spent a lot of effort on him, and finally did not envelop him in vain, he has not done any more evil deeds when he opened the workshop in the past, and three years ago in the Grange in the mountains also made great contributions to protect the village, she had always been polite to him on the surface but cold face, so he was also calmer.

"Yes, big lady, it's the villain who is too worried."

Ji Hong heard that her tone had changed, and although she couldn't help but be happy that her advice was not adopted, she didn't dare to commit the arrogant vice again.

From the time she was ready to marry the Great Song Dynasty three years ago, counting the dowry and sorting out the accounts in the workshop, to the official separation of Ji Chenlong's 20-year-old coming-of-age ceremony half a year ago, he found that the best way to be the owner of the workshop was not to work against the eldest lady, but to be honest and obedient, and to assist her in a down-to-earth manner.

As long as she gets married smoothly and marries far away, he Ji Hong will come out.

As long as the eldest lady is not there, Ji Chenhu and those boys in Nanfang who don't have long brains and can only wield knives and guns are not worthy of competing for the position of the owner of the workshop with Erlang.

Otherwise, how could the eldest lady put Ji's Warehouse under Erlang's name?

The whole party now believes that Erlang is the future owner.

"After the separation, I put Ji's warehouse under Erlang's name, and I put the thousands of board boats and Nanfang big house in the fang under Sanlang's name, in addition to the private property under their respective names, the twelve rivers in the north and south and the warehouse and wharf in the fang were temporarily placed in Ji's warehouse for Erlang to manage, and when he came back, bring me the general ledger."

“…… Yes, big lady. ”

Although Ji Hong was shocked in her heart, she didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to check the general ledger, the general ledger is not a detailed account, not used to check the deficit but to check the total amount of property, even if she still feels sorry for her brother and has plans to redivide the property, but Ji Chenhu has been losing more and more in Nanfang recently, it is impossible for her not to know about those accounts that have been losing more and more in Nanfang, otherwise what are those Nanfang boys doing outside?

Aren't they just afraid of checking the accounts on the first day of July today?

However, he inevitably rejoiced in his heart, the account in Erlang's hand was clear, and he was not afraid of her checking, the more he checked, the more Erlang showed that he had both talent and morality, unlike Ji Chenhu, who spent money casually, and his subordinates also followed one by one to make up for the shortfall.

Even so, when I split up half a year ago, I checked it again, and it was still a bad debt.

He hurriedly answered the matter of checking the accounts, and when he saw that she had not mentioned anything else, he lifted up the pigeon that he had been holding in his hand, and handed over the news that had been taken from the pigeon's feet, and said:

"Big lady, the news from the sub-junction point at the lower pass is that the Fuso official who came out of Heian Capital is indeed Shikibe Cheng, he crossed the Seto Inland Sea by boat, and after leaving the lower pass, he went to the sea to meet the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty."

She hurriedly looked at it, and saw that the news that Wang Shiqiang said was correct, so she nodded, and she also knew that there was no news of Ji Chenhu from the stack, and he really disliked that the Fusang pirates in the inland sea did not have much oil and water, so he ran to the East China Sea to rob.

She sighed and looked at the south house in the small courtyard, which was Ji Chenhu's residence before the separation.

And the mess in the house was left after a quarrel during the separation.

More than a year ago, she sorted out the accounts of the whole workshop for the second time, and after publicizing them to the north and south squares, she temporarily handed over all the twelve rivers that were supposed to be divided equally between the two younger brothers to Erlang, and let Ji's Warehouse have full authority to manage it in the next three years.

Ji Chenhu is also nineteen years old, he is used to reaching out for whatever he wants, anyway, it is a good day to have his sister filling in the account in the back, where is he willing to suffer such a loss, he was so annoyed that he yelled loudly in the yard more than a dozen times, although he didn't want to fight Erlang, he almost had to tear down the house in front of her before he was willing.

At that time, she was also standing in this courtyard, staring at him coldly.

The rough little boy who stood by his sister's corpse ten years ago had grown into a big man two or three heads taller than her, and he slammed a fist almost as big as her head.

He held his breath, his fists clenched, and the look on his face was completely "If it weren't for my sister, I would have beaten you to pieces" irritability and anger.

However, in the end, he just blushed his face, grabbed a few clothes randomly, and left in a bad mood.

Since then, his main source of wealth has been completely cut off by her.

Although the boys in Nanfang followed San Lang wholeheartedly, the people of Nanfang all moved from Nanjiushu with Ji Chenhu, up and down like iron buckets, all of them shouted and shouted to kill that it was Ji Erlang of Beifang who deliberately poured dirty water on Nanfang, just to grab Ji Chenhu's position as the owner.

But seeing the deficit posted by a pen in front of the fangmen, they still couldn't make a big wave, so they could only watch Ji's warehouse fall under Erlang's name.

Since then, Ji Chenhu has never returned to the Ji family's courtyard, and she has not heard him called "Sister" for half a year.

"Big lady, I've already calculated Nanfang's accounts five times-the big lady can summon Mother Wang to check the accounts-"

Xiao Ruiniang, who had been standing beside her and listening quietly from beginning to end, saw her looking at Nanwu silently, knowing that she was thinking of Ji Chenhu, she couldn't help but pull her skirt and reminded her:

Even if Mr. Li was stocking up on his belongings and preparing to ransom Ji Chenhu, his subordinates in Nanfang were still making a fuss in front of Ji's Inn, and they didn't want to be audited.
