Yu Fu's eyes suddenly changed, and he tugged at Cai Mao's sleeve. "Money isn't an issue? Then why do you keep crying poor with me? ”

Cai Mao sneered and reached out to pat Yu Xuan's hand. "Yu Zhongxiang, what you said is not right. I cried poor with you, can I be blamed? I give Mu Xuetang a money, and Mu Xuetang can help me save at least three dollars, or help me earn five more dollars. What about you? You tuntian are simply bottomless pits, you calculate for yourself, how much food have I allocated to you in the past six months, have you seen a turnaround? Just tell me, how much rice can you give me when the autumn harvest is over this year. ”

Yu snorted: "Cai Deqi, Jiaozhou's rice transportation is just an emergency, and the food supply still depends on Tuntian in the end." Tuntian has invested a lot and the results are slow, this is the truth, you can't be so short-sighted, you have to take a long view. After three years, I promise you to see the effects of Tuntian. ”

"Three years?" Cai Mao was dismissive. "I can feed your tuntian in three years, and if you don't ask me for money and food, I will be satisfied."

"If you don't get in my way, if you don't owe me money, maybe you will be self-sufficient in two years."

"Well, even if Tuntian can be self-sufficient, when will you be self-sufficient?"

The two of you say a word, I say a word, half-truths and half-truths are sarcastic to each other. Yu Chuan was arrogant, and he was reused by Sun Ce, entrusted with Wu Hui's affairs, and wanted to do something to repay Sun Ce's trust. There are many things to do, the stalls are large, and the expenses are naturally large, Wu Jun's strength is stronger than that of Huiji, so he naturally has to bear more, but in this way, Cai Mao is a little difficult to do. He is on behalf of the Jingxiang family to invest in business, it is about to be the end of the year, he has to report to the Jingxiang family, if there is only expenditure, no income, how can he report this account?

Moreover, he felt that Yu was unfair and suspected of favoritism. This caused dissatisfaction among the people of Wu County, and there were not only one or two people who came to him to complain. The dividends promised to him by Huiji Printing Bookstore have not been given to him so far, he sent someone to urge him, Sheng Xian said that they didn't make money, they have been operating at a loss, and there are no dividends, or do you make up for it?

Cai Mao can't say anything, and he is bent on making money with harmony, and he generally doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. Today, taking advantage of Yu Tuo's request for Huang Yueying, and eating Huang Yueying's deflatedness, he took advantage of the situation to make trouble, at least let Yu Tuo know that he also had difficulties and could not meet his requirements unconditionally.

"Can you go away and quarrel?" Huang Yueying sat up and patted the couch. "Yu Changshi, there are only so many people in the Mu Academy, and the tasks that can be taken on are limited, and some tasks still need to be investigated, and they can't be thought of with their eyes closed. Tuntian needs so many machines, I suggest that you set up a separate wood school to design and manufacture related tools, just like Ge Pi's wood school, do nothing, just study ordnance. There is a specialization in the art industry, which is more efficient. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Yu abandoned Cai Mao, rushed to Huang Yueying, and said with a smile: "I just want to ask the master to help, one is to train talents, and the other is to provide some funds." ”

"I can help with the training of talents, don't look for me for funds, go to him." Huang Yueying raised her chin and pointed at Cai Mao. "Don't think that the Wood School has oil and water, and the Wood School also has a lot of money to spend."

"I know, I know, I didn't let you give it for nothing, count you as a shareholder, and give you dividends when the time comes, okay?"

Huang Yueying was surprised and looked Yu up and down. "Do you know the dividends? Who told you that? The word shareholding was put forward by Sun Ce, and Sun Ce paid money to fund them to develop looms, which was in the form of dividends. The loom business has now been mostly transferred to Nanyang Wood School and Runan, and Huang Yueying and Feng Wan basically don't ask, but only collect dividends every six months.

Yu laughed and said nothing.

Huang Yueying scratched her head. She knew that Sun Ce trusted Yu Translation, and this word was probably told to him by Sun Ce. "Okay, you arrange ten people to come, we will help you train, and provide another three hundred gold as start-up capital. I have one request, though. ”

"You say."

"These ten people, half men and half women."

Yu turned over and showed a difficult color, and groaned for a long time. "For a while, I'm afraid I can't find so many women who are literate and hyphenated, can you be accommodating?"

Huang Yueying stared at Yu for a while and raised a finger. "I'll give you a face, give you a place, at least four women, otherwise you don't send someone. Yu Changshi, General Sun asked us to be in charge of the Mu Academy, but it was not just to spoil us, if you didn't realize this, you might live up to his trust in you, and also insult your reputation as the fifth ruler of the Yu family. What is the Tao? One yin and one yang is the Tao. ”

Yu rolled his eyes, frowned slightly, and his expression became serious. He was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll do my best." He looked at Huang Yueying for a moment, then bowed down again. "Thank you for your advice."

Huang Yueying laughed. "Don't dare."

——

Cai Mao and Yu Tuo went down the mountain together. Yu was silent all the way and didn't say a word. Coming to the edge of Taihu Lake, Yu overturned the boat, bent down and got into the cabin, and now Cai Mao on the shore couldn't help but shout: "Zhong Xiang, are you really going to send a woman to cultivate wood?" ”

Yu Flip pushed open the window, glanced at Cai Mao, crooked his mouth, and laughed: "Yes, please take care of De Jue when the time comes." ”

"Don't listen to her, there are few women as smart as her, it's hard to find."

"That's because you didn't look for it." Yu smiled, raised his hand, and waved goodbye to Cai Mao. The boat turned in a different direction and headed north. Kan Ze walked over with a pot of wine, sat opposite Yu Turn, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yu Turn.

"Brother Zhongxiang, what woman?"

Yu took the wine glass, but did not drink it, and slowly shook it in his hand. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Kan Ze with blazing eyes. "Derun, do you think that women can study like men?"

Kan Ze thought for a moment. "It's understandable that there are a few geniuses like Cai Dajia and Huang Dajiang once in a while, they are all like men, it's unlikely, right?"

"Then how do you understand the phrase "one yin and one yang?"

Kan Ze looked at Yu Fu in puzzlement. He knew that Yu Fu was a member of the Yi family, and suddenly asked this sentence, is it to test his Yi Xue's attainments, or what does it mean? This doesn't seem to be in line with his question. Yu took a sip of wine and roughly repeated what he had just said to Huang Yueying. Kan Ze understood at this time, and said in surprise: "So, you plan to recruit women to practice wood?" ”

"It's not just wood." Yu flipped it all down, and Kan Ze filled him up again. Yu turned and slowly shook his wine glass. "When the sergeant heard the word, he acted diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he would die. Derun, the general treats me as a sergeant, but I act like a sergeant, and I still need the help of Master Huang to understand the deep meaning, which is really ashamed of the general. ”

Kan Ze smiled dumbly for a while: "According to what you say, wouldn't I have become a laughing corporal?" Brother Zhong Xiang, this move is too shocking and may provoke criticism, so you should be cautious. ”

Yu glanced at Kan Ze and smiled without saying a word. After a while, he said: "Derun, you have some talent for arithmetic, go to Gepi, there is a master of arithmetic Xu Yue Xu Gonghe, if you can learn from him, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." By the way, the young man surnamed Zhao you mentioned last time might as well take it with you. ”
