In the evening, the sound of bells and drums echoed around Xiyang City, which was the last reminder before the curfew was about to begin, and in the Wang family's mansion in a corner of the city, the Gu family commanded the servants to help the drunken Wang Yue to the couch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Changed the clothes full of wine, the servant brought hot water to help Wang Yue wash his feet, and the maid brought the decanting soup, Gu personally brought the soup to Wang Yue, and after tossing for a long time, Wang Yue finally dissipated some of the wine.

"Ah, I'm drunk again? Alas, really..."

Looking at his wife, Wang Yue smiled apologetically, wanted to sit up but felt that his whole body was weak, it seemed that the strength of the wine had not completely dissipated, seeing that beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, Gu quickly brought a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat.

While wiping, he complained: "How many times have you said it, drink less and drink less, you are still strong and can withstand it now, what should you do when you get older?" ”

"There's no way, it's busy, it's not manpowered, and I can only go into battle."

Wang Yue lay on the couch, half-squinting back to his senses, during this time he was very busy, after coming back from Panyu in Guangzhou, he did not stop, he was busy in Jiangzhou, and he was also busy when he returned to Huangzhou, not only busy with affairs but also busy with entertainment.

Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen led the troops all the way to Panyu in Guangzhou, and pacified Jiaozhou to break through the capital of Linyi and the country of Dianchong, thousands of miles of journey, Huangzhou businessmen are like shadows, and they have to be laid out everywhere along the way.

It is also thanks to the fact that there are a lot of talents cultivated by the industry under the name of Xiyang Wangfu, and it is thanks to Yecheng, Anlu, Xiangyang, Huankou, Nanchang, and Panyu that there are people who pick up the beams.

But this has also reached the limit, because many people are used as two people, as a close confidant of the King of Xiyang, Wang Yue knows that even the ladies of the palace are busy, so what is it if he is tired?

Wang Yue opened his eyes and looked at his wife, smiled and said, "King Xiyang has a great favor to my husband and wife, and it doesn't matter if I am tired for my husband." ”

Of course, Gu Shi understands this truth, but she is worried that Wang Yue will become tired and sick sooner or later if she is so busy, not to mention that Wang Yue has to take care of the Xiyang Wangfu industry, and her own industry has to be taken into account.

At that time, Wang Yue was still a native of Chen Guo, doing some industry for a court official, running around doing business abroad, and later because of the glass mirror, he had a friendship with Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County of Zhou State at that time.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Yue and his wife were targeted by Chen Shuling, the king of Chen Guoshixing, who did all kinds of evil, and life was worse than death, it was Yuwenwen who saved the couple, and since then Wang Yue has become the big shopkeeper of Yuwenwen.

Time flies, eight years have passed quickly, the prince of Xiyang County has become the king of Xiyang, and the lives of Wang Yue and his wife have also changed dramatically, Wang Yue is responsible for the property of Xiyang Wangfu, and the king of Xiyang does not blindly treat him as a servant.

Yuwenwen is very generous to the shopkeepers who have made outstanding contributions, and most of the industries under his name let the shopkeepers buy shares, and even transfer some industries to the shopkeepers to operate, and the palace only dividends according to the shares at the end of the year, so Wang Yue is not only the big shopkeeper of the king of Xiyang, but also his own big shopkeeper.

He is busy all day long, not only for King Xiyang, but also for himself and this family, but he has been really busy recently, because the stall has suddenly doubled several times, and there are not enough people.

Seeing Wang Yue's tired appearance, Gu hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will King Xiyang come back?" The King of Xiyang is back, and it will be more convenient to allocate manpower. ”

"Who knows, the court has to decide on this matter."

。。。。。。

"When the king can come back, this matter has to be decided by the court."

Zhang Yu picked up the wine glass, touched the glass with Lin Youdi, Hu Sanzi, and Zhang Yiman, and then drank it all, his dark face glowed a little red, and his alcohol consumption had been practiced, so he was not drunk at all after several rounds of drinking in a row.

"The king can't figure out when he can be a teacher, so I just need to do my part, when I came back from Panyu, the king specially explained that everyone is busy during this time, and after a while, take a good rest."

Zhang Yu said unhurriedly, he and Lin Youdi are old acquaintances, so the relationship is relatively close, and some "inside information" does not need to be taboo: "The king said, if you want to see the sea, arrange it when the time comes, take your family to Panyu for a few months, and have a good time." ”

"Ah Yu, I heard that the customs and customs of Lingbiao are very different from those of Shannan, and the miasma is rampant, and I don't know..."

Hu Sanzi and Zhang Yiman were obviously moved, because they had mastered the manufacturing process of glass mirrors, they had been in Xiyang for more than eight years, of course, they were fascinated by the vast sea, but if they really took their families to Lingbiao, they were afraid that they would die of illness halfway.

And Lin Youdi is also a little tempted, he stays in the workshop all day long, according to Yu Wenwen's plan, leading the craftsmen to ponder all kinds of wonderful machinery, although not like Hu and Zhang sitting in the well and watching the sky, but also want to see the sea with their own eyes.

They followed Yu Wenwen, who was still the prince of Xiyang County, to Anlu in Shannan, and then to Xiyang, Bazhou (Huangzhou), and since then they have taken root, and then married a daughter-in-law and had children.

Together with Fu Youcai, the four of them are the trusted servants of the King of Xiyang, shouldering the heavy responsibility handed over by the Lord Lang, and their wives and children live in the manor of the King of Xiyang, enjoying all kinds of benefits, the expenses are not large and the income is quite rich, and over time, in terms of the money and food on hand, they are richer than the ordinary well-off family.

But no one wants to break away from the palace and stand on their own, because they are used to this kind of life, but what makes Lin Youdi and others envious is Zhang Yu, because unlike them who stay in Xiyang, Zhang Yu is really a fish in the sea and has seen many big worlds.

Zhang Yu has been out for more than a year, what are he busy with, Hu Sanzi and Zhang Yiman don't know, Lin Youdi knows a rough idea, but they won't ask, and Zhang Yu won't say.

Zhang Yu and his companions have been out for more than a year, and there is no news coming back, just when the family members are restless, the king of Xiyang, who is in Panyu, ordered someone to bring back a good news: Zhang Yu and others are back, safe and sound, and return to Xiyang on the same day.

From Panyu to Xiyang, unless it is an envoy who delivers urgent news, it will take at least a month on the road, Zhang Yu and others returned to Xiyang a few days ago, and finally reunited with their families.

Zhang Yu talked about the customs of Panyu in detail, he saw a few people who wanted to go but did not dare to go, and explained with a smile: "Lao Ma is a northerner, just arrived in Huangzhou will not adapt to the water and soil, when I saw him in Panyu, where is he sick and tired, anyway, if he is healthy, drink more herbal tea, and he will be fine." ”

"However, the climate of Lingbiao is indeed hot, it is said that there is no snow in winter, if you are worried that your family will not be able to survive, then wait a little longer, and when the imperial court calms Jiangnan, you can go to Guangling to see the Guangling tide, or you can see the sea in the coastal area of Huainan."

When it comes to the current situation, Lin Youdi and others are most concerned about not when the official army will take Jiankang, or when the king of Xiyang will come back, the reason is that in the past half a year, the scale of the industry in the house has expanded too fast, the stall is big, there are many things, and there are not enough manpower.

"The king actually wants to come back as soon as possible, but he has not obtained an edict from the imperial court, so he must not leave his post without permission." When Zhang Yu said this, he suddenly changed his words: "There is really a shortage of people in the house?" ”

"Yes, it's busy everywhere, one person is used for two, and there is a shortage of people everywhere."

Zhang Yu was a little helpless when he heard this, he lived in the port of Boduo in the Japanese country for more than half a year, and he felt more and more that there was a shortage of manpower in maritime trade.

Lin Youdi is busy, Hu Sanzi and Zhang Yiman are busy, Fu Youcai is busy, everyone is busy and there is a shortage of manpower, Zhang Yu feels that he may have to find another way to solve the problem of lack of manpower.

After he came back, he went around Badong City, drank a few rounds of wine with the old neighbors of the Xiangyang Navy back then, and mentioned the sea trade situation of Panyu with the strength of the wine, and many young people became interested, so Zhang Yu felt that he could find another way.

"By the way, when will they come back?"

"Alas, who knows, the princess and the princess are visiting relatives in Yecheng, it is said that the Son of Heaven is about to get married, probably after the event, the princess and the prince will come back, and they will come back together if they want to come to Amin."

When Lin You said this, he suddenly woke up: "I said, I said that I said hello to borrow the manpower on Ah Ming's side first, and you are not allowed to rob it!" ”
