Besides, there are not many servants in the family, and according to his current status, there must be hundreds of servants and maids in the family, plus internal and external housekeepers, and even thousands of people.

At present, there are only a few servants in the outer mansion, and there are more than 20 maids in the inner mansion, and Xiao Xueyi, these female guards, are still given by the little prince of Zhongshan Wangfu for nothing, and they are not spent on his household.

Besides, he doesn't like others to serve, he does everything he can do by himself, at home, Xiao Nier does some things for him, and after he comes out, he basically takes care of these things by himself, and even Ji Chang's guards can't interfere.

But after pretending to be sick today, he felt that there should be a few servant girls around him, even if it was good to pretend.

He wants to give people the impression that he is a lucky character who is greedy for pleasure and likes beauty, since people outside see him like this, it is no better, and showing weakness is also a tactic.

He doesn't care about face now. You have to pretend to be like one in order to defeat the enemy.

The tent of the Chinese military camp is very large, and besides, he asked someone to separate a space with a curtain, put a few beds, tables and chairs, and miscellaneous items, as a lounge for a few girls, and the outside is where he works.

"My lord, shouldn't I tell Mrs. Zuo?" After Ji Chang took people to do all this, he felt a little inappropriate, in his impression, Mrs. Zuo was the most powerful, and he was afraid that he would be scolded for this matter.

"What to tell her? Am I that afraid of my wife? Yes? Besides, he stared at Ji Chang.

"This, aren't you really afraid of adults?" Ji Chang touched his nose and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Of course I'm not afraid, you all think I'm afraid of my wife, but in fact, it's me who blackens myself, and I'm the head of the family at home." Besides, in front of Ji Chang, of course, he can't admit that he is a strict wife.

"Who is the head of the family?" Suddenly, the voice of the left antelope was heard outside.

Besides, I suddenly panicked, why are you afraid of anything?

Ji Chang couldn't help laughing, hurriedly flashed to the side and bowed down and said, "I've seen Madame." ”

Zuo Ling walked in with a few maids and said with a smile: "I heard what you said about the excitement, how can this talk about who is the head of the family?" Is there anyone else arguing with you about this? ”

Besides, he said proudly: "Ji Chang, have you heard, no one can shake my position as the head of the family." ”

"That's right, who is fighting for this, the head of the family has to make money to support the family, this job is not easy to do." Zuo Ling looked at the situation with a smile.

Besides, nodding, it is still Zuo Ling's intimacy, and it is really not easy to be the head of the family.

"But if you want to say who has the final say at home, hmph, that's not necessarily." Zuo Ling made up another knife.

"Madam, isn't it who has the final say, who is the head of the family? That's what I thought. Ji Chang pretended to be confused.

"That's not necessarily, some people specialize in making money to support their families, but they are not necessarily the head of the family, only the person who has the final say at home is the real head of the family. Besides, you say, who really has the final say in our family? Zuo Ling asked with a smile.

"This ...... An old lady, of course. Besides, the conversation turned to Mrs. Wucheng Houfu.

A typical Wang Gu talks about him left and right. Anyway, he can't say in front of his subordinates that he is not the head of the family, no matter what, he is also the commander of tens of thousands of people, and this face cannot be lost.

At this time, several girls came out of it and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Zuo.

Only then did Zuo Ling find that the big tent had changed, and there was actually a room apart. This is in broad daylight. It's only been a day, and the guts are so fat!

"I mean, what's going on? Someone really can't stand loneliness anymore? Zuo Ling asked pretending to be surprised.

"Where is there such a thing, today I want to meet with the two captains, and let them cooperate in a play." Besides, he sneered.

"Acting? It can't be a fake show, right? ”

"No, I'm that kind of person." Besides, he hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.

"It doesn't matter if it's a fake play, in fact, it's not necessary, why bother acting, it's all your own family anyway, just go straight to the real thing." Zuo Ling squinted and smiled.

"Don't think about it, I really don't have this mind, and it's not that I can't bear to be lonely, if that's the case, I'd have gone in to find you a long time ago, and what are you doing outside?" Besides, it doesn't feel good, how can there be a tendency to get darker and darker.

His clever mouth actually stuttered a little.

"Okay, I don't care about your foolish accounts, I came today to discuss something with you, you let them go out first." Zuo Ling looked at a few girls with shy faces and red faces, and he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, it was still important to get down to business. What's more, if she really wants to accept a few girls as people in the room, she can't manage it, contrary to everyone's impression, besides, she has never been a person who is afraid of his wife.

Several girls hurriedly walked out, and Ji Chang also walked out, sweating in his palms.

Besides, after sitting down with Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling told Zuo Ling that she planned to cooperate with the third lady.

"What? So smooth? It's none of my business! "Besides, I almost jumped, which is a great thing.

He originally thought that after Banshengcheng, he would look for a partner again, but he was not sure whether he could succeed, and as for the third lady, he was only one of the candidates, but he didn't expect Zuo Ling to get it all at once.

"What's the matter, I'm busy with these things every day, I'm anxious, but some people still have the leisure to look for flowers and ask willows, this person compares with others, you can see who is good and who is good, right?" Zuo Ling said proudly and resentfully.

"Where is this, I just finished talking and stopped, if the two 10,000 troops don't handle it well, how much property will have to be robbed, so they acted in such a play, so they can't open their mouths to put pressure on me at all, but they have to honestly compensate for it."

Besides, he told him about the meeting with the two captains.

"It's really a good thing, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Zuo Ling was also overjoyed when he heard that he was pretending to be sick and forcing Wumeng and Diemur to have to bleed profusely.

"But you should stop in moderation, and watch out for them jumping off the wall." Zuo Ling said a little worriedly.

"What are the dogs afraid of jumping off the wall in a hurry, that's what Hassan and they have to worry about, even if they start a war, they will go first." And I'm not afraid of this at all.

"You just have to know it, I don't understand that. By the way, Sanniangzi not only wants to take over our pharmaceutical business completely, but also wants to buy a batch of iron tools, mainly iron pots and farm tools, not weapons. I didn't dare say yes to her. Zuo Ling said.

"Ironware? I'm afraid this is not good, even if it is an iron pot and farm tools, there are quota restrictions, and large quantities are not allowed to go out of the customs. And shook his head.

The commodities that the imperial court had the strictest control over outside the Saiwai were iron tools, and it was mainly the people who controlled the outside of the Saiwai that used iron tools to make weapons. Although there is a certain amount of trading volume of civil iron every year, the management is also very strict.

Any iron tool can be re-smelted into weapons after it is scrapped, and if necessary, the newly purchased civilian iron tools will also be used to directly recast weapons, which is also the reason why the imperial court strictly controls civilian iron tools.

"The third lady made a guarantee, saying that it would not be used to make weapons, just for the needs of their tribe's life and farming, she asked me to discuss with you, if you can, the price can be increased several times." Zuo Ling couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come to find out and decide.

"Then sell them some every year, but the amount will not be too large, and the price is not the key." Besides, he thought about it for a while and said.

Those powerful families also sell a lot of iron to the Tatars every year, which is allowed by the imperial court, but outside the imperial quota, they will also secretly sell some, and of course they will not let go of this kind of profiteering. The court also knows these things, but it just opens one eye and closes one eye.

Although it is also possible to buy iron from the Western Regions through other channels, the distance is too far and the price is high, and it is completely impossible to meet the needs of several powerful clans to manufacture weapons.

"Okay, when we get to Bansheng City, we'll study the issue of sales volume." Zuo Ling's heart fell to the ground with a stone, no matter how much it could be sold, at least this face was given to the third lady, if it was not sold at all, it would blow the face of the third lady, which would inevitably cause a shadow on future cooperation.

"By the way, the goods we brought this time have also been packaged, and the leather goods, herbs, and wool we need will be purchased by the three ladies to deliver our goods, and finally calculate the accounts, so that there will be no pressure on costs." Do you think this is possible? Zuo Ling asked.

Besides, although he didn't interfere much in business affairs, but this time the volume of goods was huge, and it was a barter transaction, Zuo Ling didn't dare to make a decision, so he had to discuss with him.

Besides, I thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed.

In fact, he still lost a lot, you must know that the goods they brought this time can be sold at a high price, if you give it to the third lady, the price will be at least ten times the loss, although the third lady will also be responsible for buying the materials they need, but they just buy it themselves, and the price will not be much higher.

"Our batch of goods is still according to the price we originally set, not the normal sale price, after all, we shipped it here, and the transaction between the two sides will be according to the normal price in the future. We are responsible for transporting the goods to Datong and they will take over, and they will do the same, all of them will be delivered in Datong. Zuo Ling explained.

"Oh, if that's the case, that's no problem." Besides, he laughed.

It's not that he's calculating, but that the amount of goods is too large, and he also points to making a fortune this time and going to the south to fight the famine. According to his expectations, in the first year of his arrival in the south, the situation had not yet opened up, and there would be a hard life, and this money was prepared for that time.

In addition, he still has some concerns, he doesn't know how big the scale of the Tatar offensive will be this time, if he really fights with the imperial court to the point of life and death, he will not mention the future cooperative relationship with the third lady.

At that time, a complete severance of trade was inevitable.

"You don't seem to have enough confidence in working with the third lady?" Zuo Ling asked puzzled.

"It's not that I don't have enough confidence in the three ladies, but I don't have enough confidence in the future situation." Besides, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Will the situation change a lot in the future?" Zuo Ling didn't understand what it meant.

"I don't know how far the two sides will fight this time, it's hard to say." Moreover, explained.
