Chapter XI Orders from the Military

After the Yuan people invaded the central capital of the Jin people, the city was destroyed due to the invasion of war, and the original palace group was also burned.

Only one palace was left outside the city, Daning Palace. At the beginning of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan people took it as the center and rebuilt this capital city on the Gaoliang River system. In the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the main hall and the dormitory of the palace have been completed, and the main hall is named "Daming Palace".

There are historical records: "Daming Palace, Naideng Ji Zhengdan Birthday Festival will be the main ya, eleven rooms, east and west 200 feet, 120 feet deep, 90 feet high." There are seven colonnades, 240 feet deep, 44 feet wide, and 50 feet high. There are five bedrooms, six rooms between east and west, and three rooms with incense pavilions, one hundred and forty feet from east to west, fifty feet deep and seventy feet high. ”

At this time, in the dormitory behind the Daming Palace, there was a man in Mongolian costume of medium stature.

The woman on the side had her hair braided with pearls and emeralds, surrounded by a group of maids, and behind her stood a chamberlain with a dusty hand.

In front of the man, it was the big mirror that Liu Yu gave to Ding Yingwen.

"Look, you see, how clearly it shines." This man is the current Great Khan of Mongolia, Kublai Khan, who proclaimed himself Emperor of the Great Yuan three years ago.

And that "Chabi" is his queen, and the two have a good relationship.

"Eternal Heaven blesses, and this divine object is given to the Great Khan." The queen in the mirror has a blessed face, and both of them speak Mongolian.

"What kind of artifact, the Ding family paid tribute, when the army pacifies the south, I will take you there, the southerners are all such fresh playthings, no wonder the soldiers have no heart to fight."

Kublai Khan thought of the "tap fire" that the Ding family sold before. The small size makes it very convenient to take fire. Thinking of something, he was silent for a while.

Ding Yingwen is very happy these days, and the king in the palace knows the news that the Great Khan is quite satisfied with the big dressing mirror he has paid tribute, and even the queen appreciates it.

In addition, the business is smooth, all kinds of goods are sold very well, and the profit of their own family has exceeded 300,000 yuan.

It's just that the gold demanded by Liu Yu is getting slower and slower, and Ding Yingwen has ordered the caravans of the northern provinces to exchange this year's account for gold and bring it into the capital.

If the Great Khan's army had conquered Shun LĂŹ and ended the war quickly, such a thing could have been done.

Thinking of Liu Yu and the others, a smile appeared on the corner of Ding Yingwen's mouth. Most of the most red-carded young ladies are only a few thousand taels. Spending 100,000 taels of silver to save someone, I really don't know whether to say stupid or kind-hearted.

"Someone, prepare the carriage and horses." Ding Yingwen called the little guy. Liu Yu often has new things there, and he may get a harvest after running once.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I smelled all kinds of aromas, meat, vegetables, and spices from afar.

"This thing is deliberate, pinch the food and come here." Liu Yu, who heard the sound of calling the door, muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Officials are so narrow-minded." Sunset has become accustomed to his strange words.

The three women were busy skewering food and seasonings, so they had to signal Wang Zhong, who was holding a fan on the side, to open the door.

"Good Yaxing, Ding is a good come." Ding Yingwen recognized this barbecue, and he was not polite, so he picked up a skewer and went to grill it.

"You don't have to bother, come and try this." Without a suitable cup, Liu Yu took a large porcelain bowl and poured a bowl of beer, and sat on the small table on the side to drink it slowly.

It was the leftover dark beer that night and a bite of the grilled meat skewers, Liu Yu showed a satisfied expression.

Ding Yingwen saw that he was eating and drinking fragrantly, so he also came over, picked up the bowl and smelled it, and a good smell of wheat overflowed with wine.

"This is my brother's own brew? It's a different flavor. Ding Yingwen first took a sip, thought it was good, and then took a big sip.

"If you come by sea, if it's hot, put ice cubes in it, it tastes better."

It's a pity that there is no refrigerator here, and the ice cubes are not easy to get, so there seems to be an easy way to make ice, go back and check.

"I think that the people of the extreme west will enjoy it more than us, and I really want to see with my own eyes what a country it is." Ding Yingwen sighed.

"Barbarians, some mustaches and tricks, not worth it." Liu Yu waved his hand casually.

"There are some doorways at the bottom, not to be underestimated." This product has no consciousness of the people of the heavenly kingdom at all.

As soon as he ate for a while, Ding Yingwen's personal servant came to tell him that someone was looking for him.

"Armament supervisor? He's waiting for me to do something. Ding Yingwen was puzzled, he didn't have any weapons.

"Come when you go, you have to keep the wine." Before leaving, I was still thinking about his wine.

Liu Yu didn't care about him, the two of them are quite casual now, and they are almost a good family.

Seeing that his official was drinking alone, Sunset picked up the grilled skewers and went over to accompany him. Although the entrance is a little strange, after getting used to it, Sunset also likes this wine. The two of you go back and forth, and a few beers will be at the bottom.

Ding Yingwen's expression was thoughtful when he came back, and he didn't move when he sat at the table.

"What's so hard about it?" Liu Yu is very strange.

"Indeed, there is something to be consulted." Ding Yingwen pondered for a moment.

"That 'tap fire' is afraid of water?" Sunset saw that there was not much wine in his bowl and quickly poured him full.

"Well, if you encounter water, it will be tidal, then you can't afford it." Liu Yu remembered that he had sued him.

"If necessary, can you make it not afraid of water?" Ding Yingwen picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"You mean, it's still usable when it's in water? This one is difficult. Liu Yu was stunned, waterproof matches, what are you going to do.

"Really, can't?" Ding Yingwen felt that he didn't say it to death.

"If it's like the one that burns in the rain, it's impossible. Moisture-proof and moisture-proof, or there is a way. Liu Yu thought of an idea, but he still needs to go back and try it.

It's not impossible to be really waterproof, but Liu Yu doesn't want to pass the military match yet.

"I know that my brother must have a clever plan." Ding Yingwen was relieved when he saw him say this.

"If it doesn't work, we'll find out in a few days." Liu Yu picked up the bowl and touched it with Ding Yingwen, and drank it all. He didn't ask who asked for it, it was probably related to the ordnance supervisor.

In the director room of Tongzhou Craft Match Factory, the air conditioner is turned on very much. Walking in from the scorching sun, Liu Yu almost couldn't help but sneeze.

The old factory director listened to his request, thought about it carefully, and added a sealing process is not a big problem. Such a strange waterproof requirement, and I don't know what to do with it.

"We have a product that is specially produced for outdoor sports, waterproof and windproof, but the price is more expensive, but the effect is very good." The price is high and the profit is large, and the old factory director hopes that Liu Yu can consider it.

"No, just follow the production I just said, as long as it can be basically realized, there is a little attention, the seal must be tight."

Liu Yu's method is not surprising, just put a sealed plastic bag on the outside of the matchbox, of course, the cost must be high. With the samples made, he didn't stop, and returned to the capital on the same day.

Behind Ding Yingwen's seafood shop, Liu Yu asked him to find someone to fetch a basin of water to come in. He took out the plastic bag and threw it into the basin of water, then pressed it under the water with his hands.

"Look." After stopping for a while, I took out the bag and tore it open, and the matchbox inside was still dry.

"Is this possible?" Liu Yu opened the box, took out one and lit it, and shook it in front of Ding Yingwen.

Ding Yingwen took the box from his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Mmmm, it's really fine, what is the value of this 'tap fire'?" Ding Yingwen looked at him.

"One or two packs, it takes a lot of effort to wait for bags." Most of them are officially requested, and there is no need for this kind of customer to be polite.

"Stay a little bit, brother, come when you go." Ding Yingwen arched his hand, raised his feet and went out.

Liu Yu, who was bored, sat impatiently and waited, walked to the front shop, saw a few familiar guys, and waved hello.

Ding Yingwen's shop is arranged a bit like a sales office in later generations, with physical displays on one side and a tea house for identity customers on the other side. It's a pity that there is no female guest, and this time and space are still conservative. Liu Yu, who wanted to feast his eyes, was a little disappointed.

Ding Yingwen came back quickly, and when he saw Liu Yu, he gave him a look and motioned for him to go to the back.

"It's done, 100,000 boxes." Ding Yingwen did not sell the guanzi.

"That's it." Liu Yu has no idea.

"Poof." Ding Yingwen squirted out a sip of tea when he heard his words.

"My brother is worthy of a great family, and 100,000 taels of silver are not worth a day, so it's not as good as it." No wonder people don't blink an eye when they ransom people, this is the style of wealthy businessmen.

"Where is it, at some point it was just a slip of the tongue, and I don't know when it will be delivered?" Liu Yu thought about it and made a mistake. The one-two-one-box newspaper is not the kind of one hundred wen that used to be.

"In January, if you have any invitations, you will discuss it again." In this order, Ding Yingwen only added 50 percent, of which 20 percent was divided into the main officials.

Although the profit is not as high as before, after taking this line, it is beneficial to the development of the Ding family.

"January, that's enough, I'll do my best to arrange." When it comes to business, the two of them become serious when they talk, and Liu Yu is still not used to coming here for so long.

took Lao Tzu's 100,000 taels, and now he is not obediently offering it with both hands.

At night, Liu Yu was very relieved to test many new tricks on Sunset, which made the girl want to die.

Although I don't know the details of the business, but seeing that my husband is so happy, the sunset is also very cooperative, and the night is over, the guests and hosts are happy, oh no, it is the husband and wife.

Due to the long deadline, Liu Yu was at home for a few days.

Returning to the high-rise buildings in the imperial capital, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel ashamed of his somewhat fat belly, the psychology of being rich and peaceful, his career had just started.

The renovation project of the CBD office has begun, and Liu Yu has seen the plan, which is decent.

"Got it on the African side?" The fat man had some opinions about Liu Yu for putting 10 million on the account and letting go.

"Well, Liberia, we're going to open a branch office there soon." This country was chosen by Liu Yu on the Internet for a long time.

Liberia, located in West Africa and bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest, has a port and produces mainly timber and, to a lesser extent, gold. And most crucially, the country is in the midst of a civil war. It's good to be chaotic, there are a lot of loopholes to exploit.

"Oh, when are we going to start recruiting here?" The fat man in Libya knows, Uncle Gaddafi. I haven't heard of what Liu Yu said, but it's definitely not the same thing.

"Recruit a treasurer first, add a few clerks, understand English, and put up the shelves." The official language of Liberia is English, which is more in line with our national conditions.

"Okay, I'll do this, I'll do the primary election first, and you will finalize it." Although the fat man has been very busy lately, his heart is very full.

"I have time to read more books on foreign trade, and if I have any questions, I will report to your family to learn and improve myself." Liu Yu unconsciously took out a tone to his subordinates.

"Don't worry, the one in our family forces me to watch it every day." Fat people's nerves are a little thick.

Moved the gold he brought to the basement, returned to the bedroom and looked at the big bed, Liu Yu began to miss the sunset. In fact, for this girl, there is no love, at most it is **, and the place where the two communicate the most is in bed.

Liu Yu does not discriminate against her background, and he himself has no virgin plots. At first, the rescue was out of sympathy, and later lived together, which somewhat made that yard feel a little home.

Unfortunately, I can't bring it back to my parents. Thinking of his parents' expectations, Liu Yu scratched his head a little, how could he sometimes find a partner here.

In the capital, seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, the heads of the Ding family's commercial houses in various places entered the city one after another with the caravans.

The earliest to arrive was from the farthest Gansu Province, and because of the farthest distance, I went on the road many days in advance, and I did not dare to delay the annual account of the owner.

With the caravan came a large number of local specialties, as well as gold that Ding Yingwen had specially ordered.

Looking at the account books, Ding Yingwen gradually had a number in his heart, and rushed to make up the money he needed to redeem to Liu Yu before the year.

As the saying goes: "The account is not more than a year", Ding Yingwen did not want to cooperate in the first year and broke his trust.

"Let's put it in storage." Although it can be seen that Sunset is very favored, Ding Yingwen does not regard her as a serious heroine, and with such a large amount of money, she naturally has to wait for Liu Yu himself to come back.

The clouds in the sky were thick under the low pressure, and the snow could fall at any time.

Ding Yingwen rubbed his hands and feet a little stiff, remembering that Liu Yu had been out for almost 20 days, and he should be back soon. Thinking of his family's unpalatable food, Ding Yingwen misses Liu Yu's strange food very much.

Liu Yu did come back, and instructed Li San to drive the carriage to pay the loan, and he returned home with two large boxes of food.

"Tap, crushed." Sunset, who was dressed very heavily, flew over in surprise, and Liu Yu, who was not empty-handed, had to put things on the ground.

Touching the girl's head, Liu Yu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he bought a few boxes of ice cream, but the weather was already so cold that he could breathe out white air.

It's not a big deal, it's the same with eating over the fire.

"Okay, okay, go in and talk, it's cold here." I haven't seen each other for more than 10 days, and I have a bit of a newlywed.

The fire dragon in the house burned very strongly, Liu Yu took out a box of ice cream from his bag and handed it to Sunset, and gave Niu'er a box, for this well-behaved little girl, Liu Yu has always regarded it as a sister.

There is already a copper hot pot in this time and space, and sitting around the fireplace and drinking a glass of wine in this weather is also a delicious enjoyment. instructed Liu to prepare the dish, Liu Yu took out a few packets of hot pot base, Sichuan flavor is his favorite, and then make a white pot for people who are not used to eating spicy.

The best thing is that Ding Yingwen doesn't bother with this, he doesn't want to discuss business issues at this time.

"Brother, it's back." It's a pity that the sky always doesn't follow people's wishes, and just thinking about it, Ding Yingwen's voice came from outside.
