CHAPTER XXXI

When they both went north with Lin Dai, they were a little sullen. Lin Dai knew what she meant, and deliberately asked her, "Are you homesick?" Let's go back then. ”

Both of them were shocked, seeing Lin Dai's narrow smile, knowing that Lin Dai was teasing her, and also replied badly: "The maid won't go back!" The maid also invites the fifth young master and the fourth young lady to go with the girl to see the eldest young master! So what else is there to worry about at the front? It's all our territory. ”

Since Yun Jian went to the front line to become a general, if he can follow his path, it will be convenient to do business.

But Lin Dai didn't want to avoid him!

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I mainly have to avoid Xie Xiaoheng. If this deal is revealed to Yun Jian, Xie Xiaoheng will know sooner or later, and things will become very complicated, so it is better to fight the market and the world by himself.

"Hey!" Lin Dai angrily told Shuangshuang to shut up.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's better for us to do it ourselves. "Shuangshuang didn't shut up, full of vitality.

Lin Dai praised her fighting spirit and asked seriously: "The department that I took care of single-handedly, I left, don't worry?" ”

Both nodded in acknowledgement.

Lin Dai said: "Therefore, you must pay attention in the future, cultivate some reliable subordinates, even if you leave, I believe they can do things well." You are alone, you don't have three heads and six arms, and you are not an old farmer, can you plant your head on one acre and three points of land all your life without leaving? Of course, you will continue to develop new fields and leave old fields throughout your life. As long as the old fields are arranged, there are always the right people in charge of cultivating them. ”

Both are taught.

They went all the way to the north, not fast, and along the way they were learning about the customs, local specialties, and logistics. They didn't rush on the march. They are fluttering, ready everywhere to take root and grow new willows.

There were also some people who were with them, though not the army, who were also heading north. Some are fast, some are slow.

Some of them were all kinds of workers related to the war, and they were transferred and set out on the trip as ordered. But it doesn't have to be as urgent as an army march, so you can go one after another.

There are also family members who do not belong to the kind of hostage taken by the imperial court, and can move freely.

――What? You ask, how can the imperial court take people's families hostage? Not a robber again?

Ahem. The robbers beat down a mountain. It's the king of the mountain. The robbers defeated the Jiangshan Sheji, and he was the emperor. The policy of governing the country is somewhat similar to the logic of bandits.

Let's say you're the boss. You have a sword in your hand. Give it to someone to fight outside. Are you not at ease? I'm not afraid that he will run away with a knife. Aren't you afraid that he will come back to cut you and rob your treasure trove?

If the other party has a lifeline in your hands, you will be much more relieved, right?

For this reason, the soldiers who went out to fight and the officials who defended the fortress. The imperial court often required their families to live in the capital and be properly cared for by the imperial court.

If these officials and soldiers work hard outside, their families will really be taken care of in the capital. All kinds of preferential silver, welfare rice, free meat, charcoal in winter, ice in summer, and maybe there are all kinds of theater tickets, please watch the play with all kinds of nobles.

If they don't do a good job, their families will be disgraced in the capital, and it is better to sit together than to sit together. In order for their families to live a comfortable life, they also have to show some spirit and do something to serve the court.

If they do the opposite, it will be even worse. The family members will be tied up by the imperial court and pushed to the front line of the confrontation to persuade them to surrender. If he couldn't persuade him, he raised his hand and fell with a knife, and directly gave him a full house of beheadings.

For these family members, the imperial court must strictly control them, so that they can be used when they need them, and they cannot be allowed to run around.

As for the families of other inconsequential personnel, it doesn't matter. They are not afraid of the hardships of the journey, they are not afraid of the cost of travel, and they are willing to go to the north with their relatives. Then go for it!

With Lin Dai and them all the way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, there are these people walking back and forth together. Lin Dai also listened to them carefully to see if there was any important information.

There was a fat lady who was complaining to the thin lady about a wife who stayed behind: "How can she be happy!" The old man went to the front to suffer, and she listened to the play and played cards in the back. ”

The thin lady wrinkled her nose and snorted: "Yes, yes! Remembering one thing, I asked the girl, "Did you bring the shrimp paste?" ”

The girl was asked.

The thin lady complained bitterly as if she was going to die: "How can this be forgotten! How do you eat the sauce here! Without shrimp paste, how can this noodle be eaten? ”

The fat lady was interrupted, shook the handkerchief in her hand very quickly, saw the stain on the corner of the table, and complained in fuss: "How can it be so dirty here." ”

"Tell them to wipe it." The skinny lady said with her mouth free.

Xiao Er was called over. The two wives complained to him in turn, fully expressing their delicacy and vulnerability. Xiao Er looked at the "stain" and wiped it helplessly.

"Hey, why is this rag so dirty!" The fat lady looked like she was about to faint, and then began to talk about how particular her own family was. The thin lady is not to be outdone, and she has to be more particular than the fat lady, and she can't stand this broken place.

Xiao Er's eyebrows twisted the boss's knot, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he made it bad, and said: Since the two wives are so delicate, why don't you go back?

It's okay not to say it. It seems to have stabbed a hornet's nest. The two wives shouted and screamed, showing how loyal and sacrificed their lords were for the country, and how much virtue, loyalty, and anxiety they had, so they had to rush there. All the sufferings they suffer now are their medals, and they will be given a new decree and a first-order Xia Wei and Phoenix Crown in the future!

Xiao Er really didn't know anything, and when he heard this, he asked: "Isn't the phoenix crown and xia curtain only worn by a bride?" Are the two going to remarry? ”

It's even worse now. The attack of the female hornet was on the level of an atomic bomb, and she buzzed to him: The imperial court will give men a promotion, and they will give them new official robes and new official belts. His wife was raised accordingly and had to be given a new crown. This crown is the phoenix crown, and this curtain is the xia crown. "Do you understand?"

By the way, their "sue sΓΉ" is not just a sΓΉ sΓΉ end, every sentence is a spear thrown at the heart of the enemy, with facts as the barrel of the gun, with the meanness unique to middle- and lower-class women as the edge, with "do you understand" as the keynote, with the speed of speech that only women can master.

Xiao Er was powerless, fell to the ground on the spot, vomited blood and crawled out to escape.

Lin Dai and Shuangshuang glanced at each other.

Lin Dai already had an idea at this time: he could sell something that was convenient for the ladies and ladies to improve their vanity. You can also transport some spices and foods that reflect the characteristics of local food to meet the needs of people in different places.

The idea is right, but it is not specific enough, especially the diet in various places - there are so many diets in various places, how to adjust the supply of goods, and how to calculate the cost and benefit account? Lin Dai was unsure for a while. She encouraged Shuangshuang: "You speak first." ”

Lin Dai can forgive herself for not being the most flexible businessman, but she is willing to let the people around her play to their strengths.

Shuangshuang was very excited to say her thoughts: instant paper!

An industry built by both hands. As precious as a baby...... No, no, it's even more important than the child she gave birth to! Shuangshuang has not given birth yet. She felt that if one day she gave birth to a child, a handful of and urine, and kicked her fleshy limbs and cried in the sky, it would not be as useful as the vigorous paper mill.

In a word! Her paper industry does not have to return to the southwest, and there is a lot to be done here!

Look at these ladies who are traveling thousands of miles, the things they bring on the road are not very complete, but they always have to put up a shelf and put together a pomp, right? Two kinds of instant paper can be printed for them to use.

One is rough and ordinary, but it is guaranteed to be clean, so that they don't have to endure greasy, dust, and rags that the little two have not washed well in many years.

There is also a more beautiful and delicate print, rubbing rouge stains, eyebrow marks, and even wiping dishes and chopsticks, which is clean and beautiful! Wrap them to save face.

"Did the girl say?" Both of them were so excited that their eyes were shining.

Her idea is close to modern tissue and table paper. Lin Dai thought so.

Tablepaper is used to wipe down dining tables and kitchenware, which is relatively large, coarse and hard. Facial tissues, on the other hand, are softer and delicate, and are used to wipe your mouth and hands.

When a modern person is accustomed to these two kinds of paper, it is difficult to leave them.

Shuangshuang is not just selling things, but also raising a golden goose. After the goose is raised, it will always lay golden eggs.

Lin Dai warmly praised Shuangshuang's idea, and asked the messenger to bring this article back to the rear, and use Lin Dai's orders to ensure its implementation.

Qiu Huitian was responsible for the safety of accommodation all the way, and investigated the warehouse, workshop, labor, and logistics. He also mentioned that Ling Lin City in front of him had a relative of his. He could go there to visit relatives and ask for news.

Lin Dai and Shuangshuang both think this is good!

Soon, another messenger came from the south.

Estimating the trip, the messenger sent by Lin Dai did not come back so quickly. This messenger should be carrying new news.

As soon as he came, he was annoyed by Qiu Huitian and Lin Dai: Mama Qiu passed away.

As a sign of mourning, he had already tied a strip of white cloth around his arm. After reporting the murder, he stood with his head bowed and his hands down.

Alas! The one who reports the bad news is more unlucky than the one who reports the good news! The one who reported the good news, no matter how ridiculous and unreliable, listened to the quasi-grinning smile and fake a punch: "Are you teasing me?" "Don't be angry. In case it is confirmed that it is true, "belch" is so happy that he clapps his palms, maybe there is something next to him and grabs it and gives it to the person who announces the good news: "Come on, be happy!" "Whoever likes money, sugar, and eggs, those who give them are happy, and those who receive them are also happy.

But if you report the murderous letter, if you don't believe it, you can directly beat the person who reported the news to the ground with an old fist: "Where is the pastime Lao Tzu?" Or, "What are you, what are you all about!" Finally, I finally believed it, and my hands were almost faint, and the world was miserable and foggy, and I might still ask with the news: "What?" How so? How do you know? (To be continued......)
