Wang San vented his pressure and returned to his room to deal with the expansion of Mingyueji Wharf.

Wang San is talented, but the reason why he keeps Mingyueji growing is not an idea that he came up with with a pat on his head, but running east and west every day.

Business name registration, big and small disputes, homeless disturbances, accidents...... At most, Wang San actually handled more than 80 matters in one day.

Thinking of the feeling of empty brain and weak legs when he returned to the mansion that day, Wang San couldn't help but shudder. He was very curious, how did Mingyue Zhuang Gongzhong maintain it, so everyone is afraid that there are thousands of things every day?

His subordinates knocked on the door and said that someone was visiting, and Wang San settled down, took the secret letter on the table into his arms, and let the man in.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Huang family, Huang Chengen.

Huang Chengen came to see Wang San to convey the meaning of the head of the family, Huang Liren. Huang Liren just wanted to tell Wang San that there is meat to eat with the Huang family, keep your Wang family safe, remember to cooperate with the Wang family's plan, don't be half-hearted, balabala.

Huang Chengen's words are somewhat coercive and tempting, which can be regarded as his "own job".

Wang San listened politely, and didn't say much, looking a little submissive, with a look of "the Huang family controls my sister-in-law and nephew, I can only accept my fate".

When Huang Chengen was leaving, he said, "It's not easy to support a family, I still have some spare money here, can I do some business with the three brothers?" Ahem, it's best not to find me on the bright side, even if I accept a brother's favor, there will be heavy thanks in the future. ”

Wang San's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree, and he didn't refuse. I thought: The matter of saving my sister-in-law and nephew should be in this person.

Sending Steward Huang away, Wang San came to the underground warehouse, where his two elder brothers had already pressed one of them.

Wang San motioned to the two elder brothers not to do anything, "Zhang Wanli's old man's person? Or Zhao Bo's people? "Zhang Wanli defected to Mingyuezhuang, and Zhao Bo was originally a character like Li Xiang's servant, and it was possible to install spies around Wang San.

The middle-aged man on the ground twisted his head to the side, "I don't know anything below, don't bother!" ”

Wang San scolded in his heart, "Damn, what's the difference between you and recruiting?!" ”

"Ha, it didn't take long to be recruited by Mingyuezhuang, right? It's just a matter of writing a letter to the wife and children in Mingyue Village, and just now I overheard the conversation between Lao Tzu and Huang Chengen, if you can't be caught, Lao Tzu doesn't have to mess up. ”

Looking at the face of the spy sitting opposite, Wang San didn't continue to be embarrassed, coughed twice, "After returning to Mingyuezhuang, hand over a message to Zhang Wanli and Li Mengkong, the content is...... There is a letter here, you must hand it over to Zhang Wanli in person, and count Lao Tzu owing you a favor. My two older brothers have big tempers and hit you twice, please don't mind. ”

The man couldn't believe it, wiped the blood from his face, "You're going to let me go?" Why ......"

Wang San interrupted the question of his former subordinates, "Otherwise, what? Handed you over to the Huang family, offended a few old men behind you, and fought with Mingyuezhuang endlessly? ”

Zhao Bo's spies who were developed by Wang San's side left with Wang San's secret letter, and the guy was scolded by Zhao Bo that night. As soon as he came to Mingyueji, he encountered something that his subordinates were seen through, and Uncle Zhao's face was panicked.

Two days later, Mingyuezhuang, the new council hall will be completed.

The old council hall is a single-story wooden building, there are not many rooms, and there is ventilation everywhere, and it is very dangerous to see a slight fire. After Li Mengkong consulted Li Xiang, he decided to completely tear down the original dilapidated house, suspend the construction of the Mingyue Fort wall, and build the new council hall first.

The new council hall is made of stone and is almost a stone fortress, divided into two parts. The most important part, of course, is the hall that can accommodate a few hundred people, and the rest is a hundred and ten rooms with different purposes. After the completion of the project, most of the departments of the public high school will be stationed here, saving the east and the west, and the villagers will have to break their legs if they want to do things.

In order to build this stone building, Gongzhong hired hundreds of craftsmen and 500 laborers, and the low-level villagers with yellow household registration finally had a lot of work.

Mingyuezhuang's precautions against outsiders are becoming stricter and stricter, and a core building like the council hall can only be from the homes of people with yellow household registration. The newcomers had enough work to support their families, and by the way, they accumulated capital for their families, and several new workshop owners soon appeared, mainly engaged in the hard work of quarrying, burning bricks, building houses, and burning lime.

The workshop of the three men also benefited a lot from the construction of the council hall, but unfortunately it was later robbed of the supply share by Liu Xiadu, which was very sad.

After constantly recruiting talents, promoting young people, and reforming the system, Li Mengkong's burden has been lightened a lot. The good times didn't last long, the Liu family began to make trouble, the gentry began to brew conspiracies again, and Li Mengkong became tired and became a dog again.

Finally one day, Li Mengkong became impatient and threw away the information in his hand, "If you are not greedy, those people will not be able to see us live a good life." Really forced the old man, the old man followed the owner of the village, and turned against his mother! ”

The arrogance of the first brother of Gongzhong shocked the four seats, and Zhang Wanli, Xiong Chengwen, Liu Sheng and others present were silent, and an inexplicable brilliance flashed in their eyes. I don't know where the confidence came from, in short, most of Li Xiang's cronies began to seriously think about the possibility of rebellion. There is a good saying, princes and generals, I can too!

The elderly are afraid of the cold.

Li Mengkong wrapped himself tightly, regretting his gaffe that day, while listening to the new craftsmen explain the benefits of the council hall.

The tenon produced by the assembly line, the convenient water intake, and the foundation that is not afraid of the dragon turning over...... Li Mengkong didn't understand, and motioned to the master craftsman in charge of the acceptance to step forward, and he walked around to check the quality of the building. The council hall is the façade of the public middle school, and it is a place to do things in the future, so you can't be sloppy.

Li Mengkong was about to pick a few thorns to express his sense of existence, when he saw Zhang Wanli and Zhao Bo coming.

may be influenced by Li Xiang, these high-level people in Mingyuezhuang, who are not bad for money, are not very particular about food and clothing.

Zhang Wanli has been "promoted in the line of fire" several times, and has taken charge of foreign affairs, but he always wears a plush hat and has no grace at all. Uncle Zhao is in charge of private affairs, one of the few high-level people, always wearing a coarse black robe. The two stood together, very incongruous.

Li Mengkong looked at himself, although he was wrapped very thickly, he was always personable, so he had a sense of luxury.

Seeing that the number one person in Gongzhong, the prickly Li Fuzi, walked away, several craftsmen in charge of the construction of the council hall felt lucky and turned their heads to curry favor with the master of Gongzhong.

Li Mengkong greeted him, and listened to Zhang Wanli and Zhao Bo's whispers, surprised and delighted.

There are several greenhouses in the public middle school, and Li Mengkong and the three of them naturally don't need to apply in advance, so they go directly.

The charcoal stove is hot, and the three of them drink tea while roasting the fire, and discuss the matter while drinking tea.

Li Mengkong asked Uncle Zhao first, "Where is the owner?" ”

"The owner is in Qingfeng Village, checking the progress of the renovation there. Then head to the Black Tiger Village and the Three Kings Village, estimated to arrive at the ancestral hall in five days, and then follow the path to the laboratory in the northeast corner of Zhuangzi. Uncle Zhao said.

The construction progress of Mingyue Fort cannot be guaranteed by the public middle school, and the peripheral cottages such as Qingfeng Village will certainly not be rebuilt. For now, it is only a matter of driving the coolies to renovate the walls and barracks.

Of course, Li Mengkong would not inquire about the situation in the laboratory, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was one of the few taboos for the owner, so he asked Zhang Wanli: "That Wang San wants to surrender?" Isn't he very beautiful in Mingyueji, why are you in such a hurry? ”

"With my understanding of Wang San, his attachment should be true, but the owner of the village has to make an idea, after all, he is a talent that the owner of the village likes." Zhang Wanli replied, and then talked about the information provided by Wang San, "In Wang San's secret letter, the Huang family's plan was revealed, and the situation of the Mingyueji merchants' backers was also attached, which is quite amazing. There is also a lot of news about the powerful people of the big clan, just waiting for us to get it. ”

Li Mengkong became interested, "The competition between the owner and the Huang family has not started yet, he is so interested, what are his requirements?" ”

Wang San was obviously a little anxious, so Li Mengkong asked.

Uncle Zhao replied, "The wives and children of his two elder brothers are in the hands of the Huang family, and I hope we can rescue them." ”

Li Mengkong understood, Wang San was taking precautions, and he was also sending a weakness, which was amazing.

The three of them took out Li Xiang's secret letter, assigned the task, and talked about Wang San's motives for choosing Mingyuezhuang.

The three of them believe that the main reason why Wang San chose Mingyuezhuang is that people like the Huang family are too greedy and can't give full play to their talents, and they may be suppressed if they are too outstanding. The psychological gap is also very important, when Wang San arrives at the Huang family, any character with two rooms and three rooms can dictate to him, compared to the scenery when he controls the bright moon set, of course he can't accept it.

But the three of them were limited by their vision and experience, and they didn't guess Wang San's heart.

The reason why Wang San took refuge in Mingyuezhuang was mainly because he couldn't see what some people did to Mingyueji. Otherwise, he would rather choose to be the steward of a large family than go to Mingyuezhuang, which is somewhat incomprehensible, and take risks.

Li Xiang is not generally interested in Mingyueji and Wang San.

When he was in Bianjing, every time he read the information of Mingyueji, Li Xiang had to write a letter to Wang San, putting forward all kinds of ideas and suggestions.

Wang San continued to learn from the Gongzhong of Mingyuezhuang and even from Li Xiang. Some of the regulations proposed by Li Xiang are really easy to use, such as the regular trade fairs and the advanced construction of the wharf, from which Mingyueji has benefited a lot.

Wang San was like an addiction, knowing that Li Xiang had other purposes, he couldn't help but exchange letters with Li Xiang. In order to be angry, Wang San's letters always start with titles such as "Brother Li".

Mingyueji is becoming more and more prosperous, and some people want to pick peaches to drive away or subdue the more independent controller, Wang San.

While being angry, Wang San was also thinking, what made the rapid prosperity of Mingyueji fulfilled?

Workshop?

As the twin stars of the Nanyang Basin, Xiangyang and Nanyang, where large households gather, are located in the north and south of the basin, with wealth and workshops all over the place, but there is no market like the bright moon market.

In terms of the conditions for opening a workshop, the Han River to the west of Mingyueji is not very good, and grain has to be purchased from the east.

Traffic?

The conditions for sailing on the Han River are really not very good. The north and south are mountains, and the west is even more mountainous, and the goods of Mingyueji can only be transported to the east and to the Danjiang estuary. In winter, the channel of the Han River tightens and the current is greatly reduced, so that only small boats under 60 tons can go.

Specialty?

This one is more. The specialties of Qinling, in the millennium, are transported to Xunyang and Shiyan, and then to Nanyang and Xiangyang. Medicinal herbs, tung oil, prey, and small gold, silver, copper and iron ore have always been there, and there is no bright moon set in Xunyang and Shiyan.

What's the key? Wang San couldn't figure it out.
