There are indeed a lot of things about Luo Yuhong these days. After she broke up with Zhu Pingjin, she took Xiaohong straight out of the city, then boarded a boat at the pier outside the South Gate, and followed the Jinjiang River to a Wangzhuang in Shuangliu County in the south of the city. There is a house on the edge of the Jinjiang River, surrounded by large farmland. This house was spent one night last time when the homeless people passed by, and the next day after the homeless people left, it was temporarily uninhabited, so Zhuangzi changed it into Luo Yuhong's personal studio according to Zhu Pingjin's instructions.

The house is built along the river, covering an area of several acres, and is an irregular two-opening and two-entry courtyard with high walls on all sides.

In the middle of the courtyard wall is a wide open door, which has neither a threshold nor a wall, but leads directly to the main courtyard inside. The atrium of the main courtyard is very large, with a length and width of more than ten zhang, and there are no flowers and trees at all, and it is a large flat playground. On both sides of the atrium, along the courtyard wall, there are long and simple wings, of which the west wing has only pillars and a roof, without walls, windows and doors, and is completely open to the inner courtyard. There is also a row of houses on each side of the second gate, of which the left side room has been changed into a large side door, which connects to another courtyard on the west side of the courtyard. The west courtyard is also very large, there are no houses in it, only high walls. In the middle of the high wall, there are more than 20 large grain hoards more than two zhang high. Between the grain hoards are wooden frames and planks built on the top and bottom of the people carrying grain, which is obviously a place used to store grain. From the main courtyard, I entered the second gate, which is the inner courtyard. The atmosphere here is very different from the front yard. A few corridors and a few flower walls divide the spacious courtyard into a number of exquisite and small courtyards, but it seems to be winding and quiet.

Why there is such a big difference between the inside and outside of a courtyard house is not understandable to ordinary people, but the large landowners and their tenants in western Sichuan know it. This kind of courtyard is called a rent collection yard, which is specially used by large landowners to collect rent from tenants. During the harvest season, the tenants would carry their burdens and drive ox carts to queue up in the courtyard outside to pay the rent. The grain should be unloaded with a stone, and the bran husk mixed with it should be weighed, and then the signature should be taken into the account room to check the drawing, and finally the rent that has been paid must be unloaded into the warehouse, and the rent will be officially paid. In order to successfully complete the most important work of the year, rent collection is the most important work of the year, so every two or three estates, rent collection yards are built. The courtyard in front must be large so that people and vehicles can move; The courtyard inside is the temporary residential area of the landlord's housekeeper, master, village head, account office and other senior management and middle-level personnel, so it is natural to improve the environment a little and separate it from the outside work area.

Luo Yuhong and the others naturally lived in the inner courtyard, and the simple wing room in the outer courtyard was used by Luo Yuhong as her office and laboratory. The twenty-one eunuchs sent by Zhu Pingjin lived in the gatehouse, and the east and west wings were converted into factories, and the two ear rooms were converted into warehouses. This house has the advantage that it is very close to the south gate of Chengdu Mansion, but it is only more than ten miles, and it is on the edge of the Jinjiang River. Along the river, you can directly reach the south, east and north gates of Chengdu Prefecture; Downstream, you can also go directly to Xinjin County, Pengshan County, Meizhou (now Meishan City), Jiading Prefecture (now Leshan City), personnel and material transportation is very convenient.

However, Zhu Pingjin chose this house for Luo Yuhong to use, and there is a special consideration: that is, in some emergency situations, personnel can easily evacuate by boat.

Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong, a couple, secretly planned their future plans after wearing them. Zhu Pingjin was most worried that Zhang Xianzhong or Li Zicheng or the pigtail army or some bandit mob would come in and cut off their heads, so he planned to train the troops and store food and so on. Luo Yuhong knew Zhu Pingjin's general thoughts, but she was not interested in knowing how Zhu Pingjin did it, she just needed to do her own thing. If there are any changes outside, Zhu Pingjin will naturally tell her in advance. This is a tacit understanding between the two of them in their long-term married life, and it is also a kind of confidence in Luo Yuhong's loyalty to Zhu Pingjin. As a result of the discussion between the two, Luo Yuhong's main task at this stage is to please the princess, make money and make gunpowder, as for the three acids and two alkalis, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, cement, glass, etc., depending on the development of the situation.

Among the three main tasks, Zhu Pingjin specially explained that he was very poor, and he still had to raise soldiers and people, and he would have to raise more soldiers and more people in the future. He said he firmly believed in his wife's exceptional business talent ahead of his time. Luo Yuhong didn't fully believe Zhu Pingjin's words. He was really poor when he pursued himself. After getting married, the two have to save money to buy a house, state-owned enterprises and institutions get dead wages, and they may not get more if they work more, so they don't have much money in their pockets, and life is still tight, and friends want to avoid it when they get together. A few years later, he jumped to a foreign company, and Zhu Pingjin entered the S Committee, and the hands of the two became relaxed, and they bought a house and a car.

But what is Zhu Pingjin's identity now? He is the legal heir of the Shu Domain! The ground under his feet belongs to his family; What he can see when he looks out is also his house; There are still things that you can't see when you go out, most of them are still his family! He is spending a lot of money now, and his cash flow may be poor for a while, but Luo Yuhong doesn't believe that his family will not give it to him at all. He is such a smart and ghostly person, he can't think of this trick? So Luo Yuhong privately arranged a priority of tasks in her heart, pleasing the princess is of course the most important thing at present, and if she succeeds, she can enter the house justifiably, and no matter how powerful the others are, they are all juniors, juniors, and juniors. So Luo Yuhong decided to take advantage of being a woman and understanding the advantages of women, and get the princess done first. While getting the princess, I made some money by the way and showed my ability a little. Because Zhu Pingjin confessed, his mother is also a money-loving master. The matter of making gunpowder is not busy for the time being. It is not that there is no demand, nor that there is no raw material, but because of the danger of making gunpowder, the production test facility, including this yard, must be completely renovated in advance.

Luo Yuhong thought about these things in her head, and quickly changed into her work clothes and strode to the front yard.

In the atrium of the front yard, Li Sixian looked at the two rows of twenty little eunuchs in front of him, and felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart. Until now, he still clearly remembers the days when he was driven out of the Shizi's Mansion to Qingyang Palace to chop wood and burn fire. It was the morning of the 24th day of the lunar month last year.

That morning, the north wind blew, the snow fell, and the cold wind cut the flesh like a knife. He left the palace with a tattered package, and there were only a few changes of clothes in it. The door to the palace creaked shut behind him. He didn't know if the door would open for him, or if what his godfather had said the night before would be useful. He is like a dog ruthlessly abandoned by his master, wandering helplessly at the door of his former home, hoping that the owner can find out with his conscience and let him go in and sleep warmly!

In Qingyang Palace, he followed his godfather's instructions, behaved in a low-key manner, did things in a high-profile manner, just worked hard, and unconditionally obeyed all kinds of strange instructions to the Yuding Daoist, and there was no shadow of being a eunuch with the prince of the world. As a result, Godfather's words came true! In less than 20 days, he received a message from a small eunuch to take charge of affairs in this Wang Zhuang. When I arrived, I found out that this Zhuangzi turned out to be the outer house specially prepared for Miss Luo! And his subordinates turned out to be the inner house book case specially selected by the godfather for the prince!

At that moment, Li Sixian felt like he had climbed out of the ice cellar and lay down in a hot bath tub!

This is the starting point of my soaring! Li Sixian looked at the two rows of bookcase reserves in front of him, and thought to himself.

A cold wind blew, and when he caught a glimpse of someone putting his hand in his arms, Li Sixian reprimanded unceremoniously: "Stand still!" Today is Miss Luo's first lecture, and the big guy will promise later! Father-in-law Cao ordered, when the big guy sees Miss Luo, he sees the prince. If there are rules in the house, there are rules here......"

Li Sixian didn't finish speaking, and suddenly felt the eyes of the team in front of him glance back, and quickly turned his head to look, and suddenly felt that his eyes were not good:

I saw that Miss Luo was already standing outside the second gate, the jacket and skirt she usually wore were gone, and the upper body was a set of satin cotton jackets with green onion green narrow sleeves. The lower body is a set of satin cotton pants of the same color, and a pair of huge cotton shoes with white rabbit fur under his feet.

Wearing a set of haute cout winter pajamas, it really shocked the audience! Luo Yuhong was very satisfied with the effect, casually tied the big red coarse cloth in his hand around his waist, and said to the eunuch who had some impressions: "Hey! You! Who's that! ”

Li Sixian's mind had not yet jumped out of the shock, and suddenly saw Miss Luo's finger pointing at him, and immediately reacted, trotted forward and knelt down to worship, and two rows of twenty little eunuchs also followed.

Since the crossing, Luo Yuhong has not been kneeled by anyone, nor has she knelt anyone. Li Sixian took the lead in bowing, which made her at a loss. She waved her hand again and again to let Li Sixian hurry up, and said, "This girl called everyone to come, but she just has a few words to make it clear to everyone!" ”

"This girl convened everyone for a meeting, mainly to clarify our recent work and arrangements......" Luo Yuhong stood in front of the team, said a few words, and gradually found the feeling of the general manager, her language became more and more fluent, and her tone became more and more like the original factory boss:

“…… We are a team! What is a team? It is an organization with common leadership and common goals. Who is the leader of our team? That's Ben girl! Whatever this girl arranges, you will do! Whoever this girl arranges to do it, she will do it! You all have to be closely united around the ...... with this girl at the heart Surrounding! What is our common goal? It is to sell our products to thousands of households! Sell more products, earn more money! We want to sell it into the people's homes, into the eunuchs' homes, and into the palace and the Forbidden City! Whoever buys our products is our customer, who is our food and clothing parents, who is our God! In the future, we must implement target performance appraisal! Today, we will set the work goals of each group, and after the expiration of the assessment period, we will issue performance rewards according to the completion of the performance! Did you hear me clearly? Raise your hand if you have questions! ”

None of the twenty-one eunuchs answered, and none of the twenty-one eunuchs raised their hands.

Luo Yuhong was a little discouraged by the effect of her speech, so she added: "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not." This girl only has one sentence, well done and takes a lot! ”

Li Sixian understood this sentence, and the other twenty little eunuchs also understood. It turns out that in addition to the money in the house, there is also an extra reward here!

Great! Twenty-one people were all smiling. Li Sixian hurriedly expressed his common voice on behalf of everyone: Miss Luo treats the slaves and maids really well, and the big guys are willing to follow you Miss Luo! What Miss Luo asks the slaves to do, the slaves and maids do!

But Miss Luo, what do you want the slaves to do?

Luo Yuhong pointed to the west wing room with her hand, where there was a large cauldron on the ground, and a stack of steamers was placed next to the cauldron. In addition, there is a bath barrel nearby, dozens of bundles of firewood.

Luo Yuhong pointed at Li Sixian with her hand again, "You, who is that!" Let everyone put on the girdle! It's work time, so it's time to have tea and chat! ”
