Today's second update! Brothers, seeing the collection and flowers you sent is the happiest thing for Yun Ming after ten hours of coding words every day! ）

"County Lord! I have arranged all the affairs of the barracks, and I heard that you are leaving the yamen, and I would like to accompany you to thank that gentleman!" Just when Xiang Lan'er was halfway through the carriage, Zhao Qing finally caught up with the convoy with several personal soldiers, and said in a voice outside the carriage.

If there was no Lu Inn, Mr. Lu used the caravan to take Xiang Lan'er out of the city while the city gate was chaotic, Xiang Lan'er might really fall into the hands of Za Kecha, Xiang Lan'er had told Zhao Qing about this after arriving in Longwang Town, and he was busy with the affairs of the military camp, so he hurried over.

At this time, the carriage is in the middle of Wenfeng Street in the southwest of Quanzhou City, on both sides is about ten meters high about the floor of the courtyard pavilion, this neighborhood is the rich businessmen gathered in the area, the official road is only eight feet wide, only two carriages can be allowed in parallel.

"Zhao Qianhu, since you are here, go with me, but don't be disrespectful to my life-saving benefactor!" Xiang Lan'er didn't look out of the car window, but still looked at Shang Yu's weird appearance with the hat on his head in amusement, but he said such a sentence in his mouth.

"Yes!" Zhao Qing heard Xianglan's voice and felt that the uneasiness in his heart disappeared immediately, after he sent troops to follow Xianglan'er to the city, he controlled the military camp in the east of the city with a thunderous force, and sealed off the Za Kecha mansion, but he didn't expect that the news that Za Kecha had been seriously ill for several days suddenly came out of Chu Kecha's mansion, and Xiang Lan'er immediately sent the news, temporarily grounding the people in Zakecha's mansion in the mansion, and ordered to deal with it later.

While speaking, Zhao Qing immediately shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and hit the road. As he spoke, he began to urge the soldiers who were driving the car and the many soldiers who were guarding the car.

In the carriage, Xiang Lan'er suddenly remembered something at this time, and asked Shang Yu: "Shang Yu, where did you come from when you snatched those books from the fire?" Actually not afraid of fire? Can you lend me a look? ”

Shang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, took out a blank book from his arms, handed it to Xiang Lan'er and said, "This is a book given to me by Mr. Liu in our village, and it was not burned in the fire!" If you want to see it, of course you can! As for why these books are not afraid of fire, Shang Yu is also very confused.

Shang Mei couldn't help but wonder on the side: "Xiao Yu! Didn't you say that this was a blank book that Mr. Lu gave you for bookkeeping? How did it become Mr. Liu's? There was a slight anger on his face.

"Mother! I'm afraid you'll blame me, so I'll lie to you! That was left by Mr. Liu for me as a secretary! Shang Yu blushed and said, since he can remember, he rarely lies, just because he secretly went to see Liu Xingbao to hide it from his mother, for fear that his mother will be responsible.

Shang Mei was about to blame Shang Yu, but when he heard Xiang Lan'er say "Huh", he said, "Strange! It's not paper, but it's soft, lightweight, and it's very flexible! Shang Yu, who is your master? She couldn't help but feel strange that the pages of the book had not been damaged in the slightest.

Shang Yu was stunned, he didn't fully know Liu Xingbao's origin, and the knowledge passed on to him was only temporarily sealed in his mind, and he hadn't thought about it carefully, so there was no way to speculate about Liu Xingbao's origin.

Seeing Xiang Lan'er ask, Shang Yu thought for a few breaths before saying, "County Lord! To say that no one knows his origin of Mr. Liu, but he often teaches me some knowledge, and I recognize him as a master when I come and go, but he never mentions his origin, and he also disappeared suddenly in Lijia Village not long ago, and he doesn't know where to go! At that moment, he told Xiang Lan'er a set of statements that he had discussed with Liu Xingbao, and explained the new method of bookkeeping and accounting.

After listening to what Shang Yu said, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but open the blank book in her hand again, and muttered: "I didn't expect that there are such strange people in the mountains and wilderness, if such people can enter the imperial court, they will definitely be able to restore the vitality of Dayuan, so that they will not collapse in the future and cause the people of the Central Plains to suffer greater disasters!" ”

Muttering this, Xiang Lan'er suddenly raised her head and asked Shang Yu, "In addition to accounting and bookkeeping, what else did you learn from that gentleman?" ”

Shang Yu thought about it for a while before saying, "I have learned some knowledge of words, and there are some allusions!" The sky is not round, the earth is not square, we live on a sphere, the moon is a small sphere around the sphere under our feet, and the earth under our feet revolves around the sun, and the countless twinkling stars in the sky are mostly fireballs like the sun or even larger than the sun, and those fireballs are also like the people we live in! I don't know if these allusions are true! ”

Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and said, "How can there be such a random allusion? If we were born on a sphere, wouldn't it fall into the sky? Yan Xia no longer felt interested in Liu Xingbao, and handed the book back to Shang Yu, there is also a similar book in the Dadu Palace, but it is slightly bulky, it is a kind of strange fruit from the mountains, which is made of filaments produced inside, similar to silk albums.

Because of this, Xiang Lan'er did not continue to ask Shang Yu, if she learned that Shang Yu knew how to speak several Chinese languages and could understand dozens of Fanbang characters, Shang Yu would probably be looked at differently by Xiang Lan'er immediately, and there would not be so many twists and turns.

Xiao Si is still working diligently to deal with the matters entrusted by today's steward Zhang, and several salt merchants from Shanxi who just came today were properly received in the warehouse, and due to the large number of salt shipments, the steward Zhang sent him to several other firms to inform him of the joint delivery.

"How weird? Shanxi's annual salt demand is only more than 20,000 quintals, and this time it actually has to transport 100,000 quintals at one time! I wonder why the people there have become so tasteful? Xiao Si shook his head and walked out of the door of the warehouse with several posts handed to him by the steward Zhang, ready to rush to the few businesses.

At this moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped, because he was surprised by the scene in front of him, nearly a hundred soldiers with knives guarding a carriage parked in front of the door, he still knew something about what was happening in the city, and the only one who could escort so many soldiers to the people was the county lord who had just entered the city, and he had heard that the county lord had taken over the army of Quanzhou Mansion after entering the city.

And beside the carriage, there was a general with a gun and a horse to protect him, so who was not the county lord here?

Xiao Si immediately retracted his footsteps and immediately turned back to the hall, the steward Zhang Zheng was reading the library books of salt affairs, and when he saw Xiao Si suddenly running back, he immediately sank his face and said with some displeasure: "Xiao Si! Why didn't you come back and send posts to those businesses? ”

"Uncle Zhang! Come to the door...... It's time for the big shots! Xiao Si was no longer as fluent as usual when he was frightened, and he actually stuttered a little.

"What big shots? The prefect of this city is a friend of the old man, and he is not a big man! Now only the county lord who has just entered the city can be called a big man, what are you talking nonsense? Steward Zhang still said unhappily.

100,000 quintals of salt is not a small amount, through the government's salt fields, each business can handle nearly 10,000 quintals of salt every year, even if there is some inventory in the warehouse this year, it is also ready to be shipped to the north after two months, such a large amount can only be provided in conjunction with other businesses, and it must be reported to the government.

"Uncle Zhang! The county lord is here, and her carriage is very unique! And there is a general waiting outside the car, go and greet you! Xiao Si said a little anxiously.

"Ahh Is the county lord Chitose really here? Little four, go to the back immediately to inform Mr. Lu! Steward Zhang was immediately taken aback, and he didn't know what would happen to this county lord when he came to Lu's firm, and he was a little confused, so he immediately ordered Xiaosi to go to the back to inform Lu Shaobei, Lu Shaobei was the actual head of Lu's firm, and even the head of the Lu family had to give him three points, and the head of the Lu family had been sick at home for a long time, and Lu Shaobei had always been in charge of the Lu firm for several years.

"No need! I'm just here to thank Mr. Lu, and then I'm entrusting a pair of hard-working mothers and sons to him to take care of! A crisp voice came from the door, but it was Xiang Lan'er who walked into the door with Shang Yu and Shang Mei's mother and son, followed by a sword-wielding general.

Xiao Si immediately stopped when he heard Xiang Lan'er's words, turned around and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and the steward Zhang Ye immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Zhang Tiwu, the steward of the Caomin Lu family, knocked to see the county lord Chitose, please forgive me for the sin of being late!" After kneeling, I was still speculating in my heart whether it was the county lord who personally investigated the case and solved the current predicament of the Lu firm, but when I thought about it, I felt that it was a little unreasonable.

Several wealthy merchants in the merchant hall also hurriedly knelt on the ground, although the status of merchants is much richer than that of commoners, but if there is no meritorious fame, the status of merchants is not high, and they also feel very honored to come to Quanzhou Mansion to meet a county lord.

"Steward Zhang, you all get up! Take me to see Mr. Lu in person, and the rest of us will stay here! Xiang Lan'er said this, and couldn't help but look at the little four who were kneeling on the ground.

It was Xiao Si who took him from the backyard into the convoy of the merchant and cleverly mixed out of the city.

Steward Zhang hurriedly stood up at this time and replied, "Yes, I will lead the way for the county lord!" "Say that, lean sideways in front of you.

When Xiang Lan'er stopped her eyes on Shang Yu's clothes at this time, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your mother and son should stay here too!" I'll have someone bring people in later. ”

"Yes, County Lord!" Shang Yu and his mother responded at the same time.

Xiang Lan'er only nodded at this time and went backwards with Steward Zhang, while Zhao Qing and Zhao Qianhu who were on her side hurriedly followed.

After the three of Xianglan'er walked in, Xiao Si raised his head, but suddenly saw Shang Yu's mother and son appear in front of him, and he couldn't help jumping up in horror.

"Aunt Shang, Xiao Yu, why did you all suddenly enter the city and come with the county lord? What the hell is going on? Xiao Si asked Shang Yu Bingren loudly.

Shang Yu saw Xiao Si, just remembered the tragedy that happened in the village, and his heart was sad for a while, and when he saw Xiao Si asking, he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Shang Meishi suddenly cried loudly on the side: "Little four! Your mother was killed by the evil soldiers sent by the commander of that day, and the whole village was killed, but only our mother and sister were spared because they were hiding outside the village! ”

After Xiao Si heard Shang Mei's words, he immediately remembered the scene when he handed over the two hundred and forty yuan to Shang Yudi the day before yesterday, and immediately shouted: "Aunt Shang! Don't lie to me, I asked Xiaoyu to send the copper money home yesterday, and I can go back to see my mother soon! How could she be an old man? Xiao Yu, you say, is Aunt Shang lying to me again? ”

Shang Yu shook his head with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "What my mother said is true, Aunt Li and the whole village have passed away today!" ”

Xiao Si's face turned pale after hearing this, and several posts in his hand fell to the ground, and he immediately fell to the ground, and he had already fainted after hearing the tragic news.

"Mr. Lu, thank you very much for saving my life! I couldn't say who I was at the time, and I would like to thank you again! After inquiring in detail about several business disputes between Lu and several other firms and his firm surnamed Zhao, Xiang Lan'er got up and wanted to salute Lu Shaobei.

"By no means, you are the county lord Chitose, if you salute the grass people, wouldn't it be a torment to the grass people! Everything is your deep fortune, and you will turn evil into good fortune, and the grass people are just a gesture, but you don't dare to be like this! Lu Shaobei immediately jumped to the side to avoid Xianglan'er's salute.

"Mr. Lu, within three days, I hope that several businesses led by the Lu family will send the officials of the Municipal Department of Commerce and Nazake to the prefect's yamen to formally submit the pleadings, and the mother and son of Shang Yu must also bring it to the day they go to the court, and I should return Quanzhou to a Qingming business place, which can be regarded as a thank you gift to Mr." Xiang Lan'er said in a heartfelt voice.

Although Lu Shaobei had no intention of saving her, in fact, he saved her after all, and several businesses such as Lu's firm have branches all over the Central Plains, which can make these businesses operate normally, and they can keep more than sixty percent of Quanzhou's land taxes, which is also the reason for this.

And it is also very inconvenient to take Shang Yu's mother and son, how can she, a county lord, bring a pair of commoner mothers and sons to live together, and bring them to the Lu family's mansion by the way.

"County Lord, this matter will be handled according to your orders! We have already prepared the paper, and the prefect has long said that the county lord will come to administer justice for our major businesses in Quanzhou! Lu Shaobei bowed and said.

"I think Shang Yu's mother and son are very pitiful, so I will arrange for their mother and son to work in the Lu clan! The whole village was slaughtered and the houses were destroyed! After a few days, Za Kecha will be beheaded, Mr. Lu, I listen to your extraordinary conversation, I hope you can leave the firm in the future, I can recommend you to join the city department! "Xiang Lan'er saw in the business name yesterday that Lu Shaobei was not an ordinary person, and at this time, she valued Lu Shaobei very much, so she said so.

Lu Shaobei was shocked, and said in his heart: "This county lord is very human, and he can actually see that I am more than just an accountant in the conversation, I must be careful in the future, don't let her pay too much attention to me, this is not good for me!" ”

Immediately, he arched his hand and said, "Don't dare!" The grass people are just a small account room, coarse and ink, but they can't be officials! ”
