Chapter 50: The New Sacrificial Wine
The docking with the Zhu family was all handed over to He Wei, who was shrewd and capable, and quickly finalized the specific process, and the Zhu family found someone to cut the bamboo in Fuchun, load the boat, and transport it to Qiantang. Then He Wei sent someone to receive it, and pay the relevant felling, transportation and other expenses, which can be settled at one time or in batches. The benefits of this have improved efficiency, reduced Xu Youfang's costs, and also found a way for these craftsmen in Fuchun to make money for a long time.
Zhu Cong wrote a letter to Xu You in private, his words were sincere, and he was close, but many times, the first impression determined the relationship between the two people, and it was impossible for Xu You to forget his rudeness and arrogance at the banquet, and naturally he would not become friends with him.
Compared with Zhu Cong, Zhu Rui is much cuter!
The process of Yuan white paper has tended to be proficient, in line with the conditions of large-scale production, but the need for too many children, for this reason sprinkled gold fang in the factory next to the specially built a large warehouse, with wooden barrels to hold Jing Pu. During the period, there was also a bit of a turmoil, because of the money to buy the boy's urine, many people scrambled for children, pulled to the side of the road to take off their pants to pee, out of nowhere came out of the rumors, saying that there are monsters eating children, which led to Du Sansheng sent a guard to investigate, and the result was found on Xu You's head.
This is naturally a farce, so Xu You asked He Wei to standardize the acquisition process, and no longer anyone can buy it, but Du Sui, a distant nephew from Du San Province who came from Jiangzhou to follow him to beg for a living, took over. This Du Sui can't study, can't learn martial arts, is idle, but people are more clever, knowing that this is a good opportunity for his uncle to make a fortune, he is very attentive, and his subordinates have raised four or five rangers, divided into slices, and registered the number of children door-to-door, and agreed to come to the door every day to buy them from time to time, so as to reduce the intermediate links, and also let the people with children make money, and they are all happy.
Before the Chinese New Year, the first batch of Yuan white paper was listed, which caused a sensation in Yangzhou, Gu Lu Zhu Zhang collectively endorsed and praised, and Zhang Zihua wrote a "Paper Fu" article with a wave of Dazhongzheng, and boasted about Yuan Bai Paper, of course, the pen fee is indispensable. Yangzhou fired the first cannon, the second cannon is Jinling, the big boat full of Yuan white paper has just arrived at Jinling Wharf, Danyang Princess An Yuxiu suddenly appeared, and then spent a lot of money, under the onlookers of countless people, the whole boat of Yuan white paper was bought, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Jinling Gate Valve family, and countless orders flew madly to Mingyu Mountain.
"Shichiro, have you written a letter to An Yuxiu?"
He Wei was almost out of breath by the order, doubled the manpower, and did not stop working day and night, except for retaining a production line from He paper, the rest were all used to produce yuan white paper, which was still in short supply.
An Yuxiu has been promoted from a champion princess to a Danyang princess, completing the leap from a county princess to a county princess. Titled Danyang, that is the county where the imperial capital is located, can be regarded as the highest title among the princesses of the imperial family, and An Zidao's love for him is irreparable.
Such a high-powered princess is willing to surrender her identity and buy it at the dock for the sake of a boatload of bamboo paper, the purpose of which is nothing more than to make Xu You's gold shop famous. So He Wei thought that Xu You secretly communicated with An Yuxiu, otherwise it was too unexpected for her to work so hard to promote.
Xu You shook his head, he avoided An Yuxiu, how could he take the initiative to contact her? It's just that I don't know who leaked the news, it is likely that it was the secret report given to her by Wang Fu of the Crouching Tiger Division, who would deign to be noble and acted in such a good show.
Human debts have been difficult to repay since ancient times, but he can't refuse the kindness of others, Xu You is a little helpless, but he is helpless!
With the big sale of Yuan white paper, the thirteenth year of Yong'an finally fell silent in the long river of time in the snow, and the spring of the fourteenth year of Yong'an came as scheduled.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, as soon as it was dawn, Xi Xi ugly slave came to knock on Xu You's door. Last night, she stayed up halfway and fell asleep, this will be in good spirits, Frost opened the door, and immediately jumped over, riding on his body through the quilt, and said: "Little mother, get up, get up!" ”
The ugly slave's Chinese language has been said very authentically, but this "little lady" has never been changed, Xu You opened his eyes and said, "Good, let me sleep again......"
The ugly slave's blue eyes rolled, grinned, got into the quilt, lay down beside Xu You, hugged his neck, and said, "Then, I'll sleep with Xiaolang!" ”
In the blink of an eye, more than two years later, Su Xi Chounu has reached the age of ten, perhaps because of the Hu people, his body has grown up, and he is taller and more slender than girls of the same age in Jiangdong. Xu You is not one of those dirty and shameless beasts, although he has no distracting thoughts, but in this era when girls can get married at the age of eleven or twelve, at an age like an ugly slave, they must avoid suspicion.
Xu You turned over and got out of bed, tucked the corner of the quilt for the ugly slave, and said with a smile: "No need, you sleep here, I'll go out for a walk!" ”
The ugly slave jumped up and pouted, "Little lady is playing tricks on me!" ”
Xu You laughed, scratched her nose, and said, "Say, who sent you to disturb my dreams?" ”
"No one," the ugly slave was a little embarrassed, and said with a blushing face, "It's me who wants to go to the market with my little lady......"
Xu You suddenly realized that the ugly slave had grown up, and it was the time to be playful, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children took to the streets, chasing and playing, and they were very happy. She was young, so she wanted Xu You to accompany her to the city to have fun, living in Mingyu Mountain, although it was pure and leisurely, but for children, it was inevitably a little too remote.
"Okay, let's go!"
Out of the courtyard gate, without command, Qingming appeared behind Xu You like a ghost. The ugly slave learned the etiquette of the Han people, and said in a proper manner: "I have seen Qingming Langjun!" ”
Qingming nodded.
The ugly slave stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to talk to Qingming more. She likes Zuo Langjun, and she also likes to stun Langjun, He Langjun is too sloppy, she doesn't like it very much, but she is not very afraid, only this Qingming Langjun, as if the ghost who came out of the underworld, always has a chilling coldness, which is daunting.
The three of them went down the mountain, and when they entered the city, they met the common people who came in and out, regardless of men, women, old and children, all respectfully got out of the way, and asked Xu You to go first. After going through so many things, Xu You's reputation in Qiantang is extremely prosperous, and it can be said that he doesn't think about second people. There are also those girls who are just the prime of life have gathered around the roadside, vying to witness the demeanor of the dark night and the light of Xu Weizhi, if it were not for the chaos and lack of materials, it is likely that the story of the fruit will be repeated.
"Little lady, they ......" The ugly slave tilted his little head and thought about it, before he found a suitable way to express it, and said, "Do they like you?" ”
Xu You hugged her and said with a smile: "Then you have to ask them, how do I know?" ”
"Good!"
The ugly slave jumped to the ground, ran to the side of the street with his skirt, Xu You reached out and grabbed it, but he didn't catch it, and shouted: "Hey, come back, don't really ask......"
But when it was too late, the ugly slave raised his head, his innocent smiling face was full of lethality to everyone, and asked a plain-clothed girl, "Do you like our little lady?" ”
"Little lady?"
The ugly slave turned to point at Xu You, who looked innocent, and said, "It's him!" ”
The plain girl showed a shocked look and said in astonishment: "What's the matter with Xu Langjun...... How is your little lady? ”
The ugly slave affirmed: "Yes, I grew up with him since I was a child, how can it be wrong?" ”
The plain girl bit her lip stubbornly, tears rolling in her beautiful eyes, it seemed that at this moment, the love she had longed for for many years died cruelly. Xu You finally rushed over and picked up the ugly slave, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little girl loves to talk nonsense, don't listen to her!" ”
Then he fled in embarrassment, hid around the corner, and said angrily: "Ugly slave, you can't call me Xiaoniang in front of others in the future, you know?" ”
"Why?"
"Because Xiaoniang is a woman's name, I am a man, others will misunderstand!"
"Okay, little lady!"
After walking around most of the money pond like this, Xu You bought a lot of desserts and snacks for the ugly slave, and encouraged her to play with other children. The childlike joy on the face and the innocence in the laughter make people forget the troubles of intrigue and enjoy this moment of leisure.
It's cold, but it's warm!
After a day of crazy play, seeing that the sky was about to darken, Xu You took the ugly slave Qingming and began to walk back, and when he passed by the West Lake, he saw a person preaching on his knees, and there were seven or eight people around him. When I got closer, I listened to the Taoist people's words, and what he said was nothing more than the demagogic words of the Heavenly Master's Dao, asking people to enter the Tao to worship ghosts and gods, dispel diseases and disasters, and keep peace. This is not surprising, the strange thing is that the Taoist temples and Jinglu of the original Heavenly Master Dao in Qiantang City were completely destroyed in the White Thief Rebellion, and these Taoist officials who preached have long been gone, how could they suddenly appear?
In addition to the accident, there is an inevitable truth, Xu You immediately returned to the mountain, summoned the winter solstice, and asked about the Taoist. In the two months of the winter solstice, the intelligence agency was rebuilt, but because there were too many informants who died in the war or disappeared, the newly formed network lacked the support point of the connection, and it could not operate effectively at all.
Xu You made a quick decision and sent Dong Zhi to Wu County to see Wang Fu, and when he came back, he finally figured out the cause and effect. It turned out that Sun Guan killed Du Mingyu in front of 10,000 people, completely removed An Zidao's vigilance, and after returning to Jinling, he was even more restrained, and he went in and out of a low-key manner.
After that, the imperial court issued decrees one after another, comforted Sun Guanduo, added honorific titles, gave imperial wine, rewarded gold and silver silk, and ordered to allow the Heavenly Master Dao to rebuild Yangzhou governance, and did its best to deal with the Wuwei Banner Flower Road that escaped into the dark, that is, the culprit who provoked the chaos in Yangzhou - Six Days!
Therefore, the Taoist people Xu You saw that day did not appear in Qiantang for no reason, and also began to resume a series of missionary ceremonies of the Heavenly Master Dao in Huiji, Yongjia, Linhai and other counties that were poisoned by white thieves, intending to regain their strength and regain their former glory.
"Shichiro, Yasuko regrets it!!"
"Huh?"
"In the past ten years, in order to curb the dominance of the Heavenly Master Dao, An Zidao has used all his scheming means to support the strong rise of Ben Wuzong, and even made Zhu Daorong become the black-clothed prime minister, and heard about political affairs, and decided on military aircraft, but he didn't expect that the coercion was too tight and urgent, and it was used for six days, which eventually caused a tragedy in Yangzhou." He Wei's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Now that the six days have changed from dark to light, the little gods of the Ming and Jade districts can usurp the emperor, and it is obvious that the six days are to change the dynasty, and this is the real big trouble!" ”
In other words, An Zidao is ready to change his previous strategy, no longer excessively suppressing Heavenly Master Dao, but on the contrary, he will give a certain amount of support. In this way, it will not force the Heavenly Master Dao to take risks, but also let Sun Guan and Liutian fight to the death and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Exactly! Sun Guan killed Du Mingyu, and he couldn't understand that he had a mortal enmity with Six Days, so why not use a ready-made knife? ”
Xu You sighed: "Yes, even if Sun Guan understands An Zidao's intentions, he can only follow this path." For six days, he never had trouble sleeping, even if he made An Zidao's knife, he could only sharpen the blade more sharply! ”
"Our lord, although he has become stupid and suspicious in recent years, the emperor's mental skills are still no less than others, admire, admire!"
The two only listened to a few words from Wang Fu, and guessed the layout of An Zidao clearly, and the winter solstice on the side was convinced, and said: "By the way, Wang Fu also said that Sun Guan seems to have newly appointed Yangzhou Zhi's sacrificial wine, and his identity and surname are not known to the outside world." ”
"Oh? The new sacrificial wine? Xu You frowned and said: "This is the proper meaning of the question, if you want to reorganize the chaos in Yangzhou, the candidate for sacrificial wine is the top priority." But I don't know what kind of character it is, so mysterious? ”
Dong Solstice said in a low voice: "Wang Fu faintly revealed a little bit, according to rumors, this person is Sun Guan's apprentice, or the eighth great sacrificial wine in addition to the seven great sacrificial wines of Heming Mountain. This time he went to Yangzhou to govern the sacrificial wine, and he was the first person in the past hundred years of the Heavenly Master Dao to bend from the high position of the great sacrificial wine to the sacrificial wine, which shows how much Sun Guan attaches importance to the governance of Yangzhou......"
