Guo Song didn't take the matter of Xiaoyu Niang and Liang Ling'er to heart, everyone will do all kinds of stupid things when they grow up, and they all want to grow up, boys smoke and pretend to be deep, girls dress up bewitching and mature, the same from ancient times to the present, there is really no need to make a fuss,.

Guo Song just didn't want to embarrass them, so he came to the official office, he asked his entourage to go to the restaurant to buy a lunch, and sat in the official room while eating, while looking at the thick stack of papers on the table.

At this time, he found an approval document from the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court from a stack of documents, approving the construction of the Yellow River military and civilian wharf and shipbuilding workshop in Fengzhou, which made Guo Song overjoyed, but he did not expect the Ministry of Industry to approve it so quickly.

It's not that whatever facilities Fengzhou wants to build must need the approval of the imperial court, if you don't ask the imperial court for money, except for building a castle and a palace, you can build other buildings however you want, and the imperial court will not care.

However, the construction of the wharf is a big project, not only to build the wharf, but also to build a supporting warehouse, as well as a road from the county town to the wharf, but also to build a shipyard.

At this time, Cao Wannian walked in and saw Guo Song eating, so he smiled and said, "The envoy is having lunch, then I'll come back later." ”

"No, I've already eaten, you can sit down!"

Guo Song put the dinner plate aside, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, pointed to the text approved by the Ministry of Industry and asked, "Do you know about this Ministry of Industry's approval from the Jiedu Mansion?" ”

"They know that it was Duan Envoy Jun who sent someone to send it."

"What did the envoy say?"

Cao Wannian said with a smile: "Duan Yuanjun said that it is necessary to build a wharf, but should the shipbuilding workshop be placed in Lingzhou, saying that our side is short of manpower and is not suitable for building a shipbuilding workshop." ”

Guo Song also laughed, "Why didn't they apply for it themselves for so many years, they were red when they saw me applying, don't worry about it." ”

Cao Wannian smiled bitterly and said: "Whether this matter is not good or not, the envoy should find an opportunity to discuss it with the envoy of the festival!" You know, the money was allocated by their hands, and they stuck the money for the construction of the shipyard, and we were out of luck. ”

Cao Wannian also made sense, Guo Song nodded, "Okay! I'll find time to go to Lingzhou, and it's best for the court to allocate money directly to us, but it doesn't seem realistic, and it's not easy to beg for someone! ”

Guo Song shook his head and asked again, "A few days ago, more than a dozen shipwrights came over, you know?" ”

"Of course I know, Xue has been accompanying them in the past few days, and today Xue joined the army and accompanied them to Feng'an County to see the wood."

"Why do you want to go to Feng'an County to see timber?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

"I don't know, there is a batch of old pine wood in the warehouse in Feng'an County, which was originally intended to be transported to Lingwu County to build a palace, but then it was useless, so it has been stored in the warehouse, almost ten years, Geng Craftsman said that the shipbuilding should use dry wood, and the pine wood that has just been cut down must be dried for at least one or two years before it can be used, so the inventory wood in Feng'an County just comes in handy."

As he was talking, he heard Xue Changshou's voice from the courtyard, "Is Guo Yuanjun back?" ”

Guo Song smiled: "I'm talking about you!" Come on in. ”

Xue Changshou walked in, although it was early spring, he was still sweating profusely.

"I just came back from Feng'an County, Geng Jiangtou went back to the post station to rest, today's harvest is good, at least ten 2,000 stone cargo ships of timber have landed, we are about to start cutting wood to dry, and when they finish building ten ships, the timber should also be dried."

Guo Song thought for a while and asked, "There should be a lot of things needed for shipbuilding!" Paint, cloth, glue, ropes, tools, shipbuilding, labor, and, of course, more importantly, money, have you discussed these issues? ”

"During this time, we have been discussing this matter, there are some things in Lingzhou, which can be transferred from there, and some things are sold in Yan'an Mansion, I have sent people to purchase, they brought their own tools, we can also imitate a batch, labor does not need too much, two ships start at the same time, one or two hundred people are enough, as for the site has also been selected, the trouble is money, to build a two-thousand-stone cargo ship, wages, materials, and various expenses, at least eight thousand yuan, even if we have some of the main materials, it will also cost four thousand yuan, that is to say, We need 40,000 yuan to build ten big ships, and we can't afford it. ”

Guo Song pondered and asked, "How much can I take out now?" ”

"A maximum of 10,000 yuan, or a reward for the remaining money."

"Then use this 10,000 yuan first, and when it's almost used, I estimate that the imperial court's appropriation should also arrive."

Guo Song was a little big, and he still had to take time to go to Lingzhou to negotiate with Duan Xiushi about the shipyard.

........

In the afternoon, Guo Song returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the back house, he saw two little girls kneeling in his yard, and Guo Song was stunned for a moment.

"You guys.... What is this doing? ”

Liang Ling'er said with a crying voice: "I instigated the little fish girl, you either punish me, don't drive the little fish girl away." ”

Xiao Yuniang hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with Ling'er, it's me who is confused and forgets my duty......" Her voice became lower and lower, and finally she sobbed and cried.

Guo Song smiled dumbly, he squatted down and said to the two: "First, I'm not angry with you, you are putting on makeup in your own room, it doesn't matter how you like to toss, as long as you don't toss in my yard."

Second, I have seen your makeup in the palace, and it is indeed very popular among the palace ladies, and it is not unusual.

Third, I have no objection to the little lady wearing light makeup, Fengzhou spring is windy and sandy, which is harmful to the skin, and wearing light makeup is good for the skin.

Fourth, you can put on whatever makeup you want, but don't go out of the inner house, the servants have never seen the world, they don't understand, it will scare them.

Fifth, you have time to read books, you really don't want to read, it's okay to practice martial arts, Xiaoyu Niang, you can teach Ling'er the flying knife I taught you.

Sixth, if you have time to help me take care of Mengzi, I guess you didn't care about it during this time.

Seventh, hurry up and prepare dinner for me, don't kneel here. ”

Seeing that Guo Song didn't mean to blame them, the two of them suddenly burst into joy, and hurriedly got up and ran out, "Let's go prepare dinner!" ”

Guo Song shook his head and returned to his study, he took out a few broken stone statues from the box in the bookcase, put them together, and the image of a little girl appeared in front of him, Guo Song caressed the stone statue lovingly, and sighed softly.

It has been fourteen years since he came to Datang, and his daughter should have graduated from college, I wonder if she still remembers her father?

At this time, he heard footsteps behind him, and hurriedly put the stone statue into the box and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

I only heard Xiao Yuniang say timidly outside the door: "Childe, dinner is ready, let's go eat!" ”

"Good! I'm coming. ”

Guo Song walked out of the study and saw Xiao Yuniang standing at the door with her head down, Guo Song couldn't help but look at her eyebrows, and saw that the eyebrows were drawn thin and long, so he smiled and said: "This eyebrow is well drawn, was Ling'er painted it for you?" ”

"Yes, she's very good at makeup."

Guo Song laughed, "You learned makeup in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, can her makeup skills compare to you?" ”

Xiao Yu Niang's head shook like a rattle, "It's not the same thing, the Hidden Sword Pavilion is a disguise technique, and she is makeup." ”

"It seems to me that it's all the same, which of you is bigger?"

"She's the same age as me, but a month older than me."

The two talked and came to the dining hall, and the fear in Xiao Yuniang's heart gradually faded, and she also realized that Childe was not comforting herself, but really not angry with herself.

However, she was a little lost, which showed that Childe really didn't take himself to heart.

The little fish lady suffers from gains and losses in her heart, and this meal is very tasteless.

Liang Ling'er talked and laughed, and after a while, she took a bottle of wine from the room and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo taste this wine." ”

Guo Song's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be one or two packs of Meishou wine, "You bought it from the capital?" ”

"Don't ask, try the wine!"

Guo Song opened the stopper and poured a glass of wine, the wine was golden brown, and he immediately knew that this was not Meishou wine, it was just a bottle of Meishou wine, and this dead girl dared to fake it.

Guo Song took a sip of the wine glass, it turned out to be wine, and it was a very good wine, Guo Song drank it all again, it was really a good wine, mellow and long, the entrance was smooth, and the fruity aroma was thick and exquisite.

"It's ..... Gaochang wine? ”

"Not really! The grapes are grown in our Liang family estate, and the wine is also made by us. ”

Guo Song's eyes suddenly lit up, yes! The climate and soil quality of Toyosu and Lingzhou are similar, so why doesn't Toyoshu grow grapes to make wine? Hang up the brand of Meishou wine and let Zhang Lei sell it for himself, won't Fengzhou have a source of money?

"Ling'er, what is the name of your craftsman who brews wine, and where is he now?"
