Chapter 516: Everything in the Heart
"Young Master!" In a private room on the second floor of Chang'ande, Liu Cheng respectfully bent down to salute Liu Yiyi, who was sitting at the table.
"Well, let's sit down," Liu Yi sniffed the fragrance of tea in the bowl, it was the top-grade Sanyuan tea, knowing that Liu Cheng had specially prepared it for himself, he glanced up at Liu Cheng, nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to sit down beside him.
After a few months of pampering and worrying, Liu Cheng's originally thin body also became fat and became round, but this is okay, his chubby face often wears a kind and kind smile, and he has the true colors of some businessmen.
"Thank you, young master!" Bending down to take a seat, he carefully sat down in front of their young master, in front of Liu Yiyi, Liu Cheng resumed his duty as a subordinate, respectful, polite, and his expression was also a lot more rigorous.
"What's the news there's in Fengjie this time? Daddy, and Xiaohui, are they all okay? Putting the tea bowl down, Liu Yiyi turned around, faced Liu Cheng, and asked him softly.
For Lao Liu, Liu He, and Liu Xiaohui, his closest relatives in this world, Liu Yiyi is also a little thoughtful, and always wants to know some of their conditions in Fengjie, how are Lao Liu's feet? Is Liu He's body still healthy? Is Liu Xiaohui's girl still reading and reading? Have they ever had any trouble in Fengjie? And so on, there will always be some worries in my heart.
"Don't worry, young master, old lady, and Xiaohui, everything is fine," knowing what their young master was most concerned about, so Liu Cheng replied. It is very detailed: "When the spring is warm, and the day of the festival is not cold, the lord is not always suffocated in the house, and every day he will let his wife push him to bask in the sunshine in the yard, or go out to the street, when he has nothing to do, he will also find the guys in the store or a few old people in the neighborhood to play chess and chat together, but it will not be boring." {First Reading}"
"As for Miss," Liu Cheng replied, "since the young master left Fengjie." Under the orders of the old man, the villain invited an old master to come back for the young lady, although the old lady's personality is serious and informal, but the young lady has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she has learned her homework. is not inferior to the men of other people's houses at all, and has won the praise of the old master. ”
"And then there is, Governor Kui Shi Di Zhixun Di, promoted," seeing that the tea in Liu's bowl had bottomed out, Liu Cheng eagerly and naturally carried the pot for their young master, and then said: "From the original Governor Kui Shi, he was promoted to the Zhongshu Shilang under Zhongshu Province in one fell swoop, and his official uniform changed from crimson to purple, and he had already set off to come to Chang'an to take up his post a month ago. It is estimated that in the next few days, it will be here. ”
"Oh? Master Di is also coming to Chang'an? Liu Yiyi was blowing the slightly steaming tea in the bowl, and when he heard the news that Liu Cheng said, he couldn't help but look up at Liu Cheng, and asked softly: "Those two little sons in Difudi." But also followed? ”
"Back to the young master, not only the two little sons of the Di family, but also the Di Mansion, except for those maids and servants who were originally in Fengjie, all the family members and escorts followed," Liu Cheng bowed and replied: "Young Master, you also know that the Di Mansion was originally a big family in Chang'an, and although they all moved to Kuizhou later, the family background is still there." I heard that the site of their old mansion is not far from where the young master lives now. ”
"Well, I've heard of that, too." Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, Old Man Di didn't like to swagger when he was alive, and Ping Suli also paid attention to the way of cultivating and concealing the front, so the homestead was chosen in a biased place in Xicheng. In the more than ten years since they left Chang'an. There was only one person left in the mansion to guard the courtyard. Cleaning up the dust and dirt, no one noticed, if it weren't for the proximity to them, Liu Yiyi would not have thought that the Dijia Difu Gate would be located here.
However, with the return of Di Zhixon this time, their inconspicuous old mansion is destined to flourish again, Zhongshu Shilang, the second in command of Zhongshu Province, second only to Cen Wenwen, the main post of Zhongshu Ling, in Chang'an, it can be regarded as a major minister, Di Zhixun's old man has worked hard in Kuizhou for so many years, and it is not in vain.
"Also, young master," Liu Cheng bent slightly, and whispered to Liu Yiyi again: "The Liu Peng, who the young master has been paying attention to by the villain, seems to have made some movements in the past few days. ”
"The villain once heard that as early as a year ago, Liu Peng relied on his relationship and money to redeem Wang Shuai, who was beaten into waste by the young master the year before last and sent to the northwest by Lord Wang," Seeing that Liu Yiyi motioned to him to continue speaking, Liu Cheng bowed and continued: "Wang Shuai has not moved much in the past six months, and he rarely goes out, but the day before yesterday, for some reason, he secretly went to Sanyuan with Liu Yan, the big housekeeper in Liu's mansion, and some guards. ”
"Oh? Are they finally holding it back? After taking a sip of tea, Liu Yiyi squinted his eyes and whispered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"The villain was afraid that they would be unfavorable to the mansion and the second young master, so he sent someone to the Sanyuan Ward in advance to call the dustless housekeeper," Carefully looking up at Liu Yiyi, Liu Cheng continued: "Although that Wang Shuai is not worried, but his uncle Liu Peng is not to be underestimated, I don't know if the young master is not?" ”
"Well, I won't interfere in this matter," Liu Yiyi put down the tea bowl, shook his head slightly, and said softly to Liu Cheng: "You don't have to interfere more, now that Erjo has left the mansion and entered the official career, it is time for him to face and solve some problems alone." It's just a Liu Peng, and he can't afford to make too many waves. ”
Liu Yiyi didn't want their second child to be overly dependent on anyone, men should be self-reliant, men should be self-reliant, Liu Erjo has been living under the wings of Liu Mansion for too long, it's time to let him fly alone. A few years ago, they suddenly left the second child in Chang'an, leaving him a mess of affairs, didn't he handle it well?
In the eyes of Liu Yiyidi, Liu Ertiao is now in the enclave of independent growth, whether it is his character, his worldview, his values, as well as his principles and means of doing things, they are all forming and stabilizing, Liu Yiyi, who is a big brother, can only do now with a little guidance from the side, openly and secretly, rather than forcibly intervening in everything. Yanagi needs autonomy, not dependence.
"Yes, young master! The villain made a note of it! ”
"That, young master, there is another matter, it is about Yantian Ranch in the northwest border," glanced at their young master, Liu Chengdi's words paused slightly, and then said to Liu Yiyi: "In the past six months, the villain has sent hundreds of thousands of assets to them, but they have been shouting that it is not enough, the Ji field master in the previous time, said that he was going to buy back a batch of Eli Malai from Wusun Guomi, and asked us to send more silver, this kind of thing villain does not dare to make decisions without permission, I don't know what the young master means?" ”
"Oh? Ili Ma, I didn't expect him to find a way so quickly? This is a good thing, Liu Yi waved his big hand, and said to Liu Cheng in a strong voice: "Give, send him as much as he wants, if there is not enough in the store, you can go to the dust-free housekeeper, and he will have a way to raise it for you." ”
Starting a ranch and raising horses is like starting a large company that can produce cars, and you are reluctant to invest, reluctant to buy advanced technology and high-quality steel, and want to build the world's most advanced Dadi car, which is a dream. Therefore, if it costs a lot of money to invest in this area, Liu Yiyi will not feel distressed.
"Yes, young master!" Liu Cheng responded in a low voice, opened his mouth, and thought about persuading their young master, but he still didn't say anything, there is still money in the store, all of which are owned by their young master, how to spend it, how to deal with it, it's not that he should intervene more, Liu Cheng never felt that he would be smarter than their young master, at least, in this business, in front of their young master, he is just a child who has not grown.
Reaching into his arms, Liu Cheng took out the account book he had already prepared, handed it to Liu Yiyi, and said: "According to your instructions, the villain only wrote down the general ledger, and what is written here is all the pure income from getting drunk in the past six months, as well as the money that has been spent. ”
"You don't need to see it, you know the Tao best here, so it's up to you to talk about it." glanced at the account book, and before he could open it, Liu Yiyi threw it on the table and whispered to Liu Cheng.
"Yes, young master!" As soon as he talked about the drunken business situation, Liu Cheng suddenly came to his senses, and said to their young master with high spirits: "Now the daily income and expenditure of the store, as well as the amount of alcohol consumed compared with the previous year, although it has decreased, but there are fifty-two branches in Datang, and the most sluggish stores are also the daily income of 100 yuan, and the amount of money collected every day after deducting the corresponding taxes, the total amount is more than 10,000 yuan per month."
When introducing the drunken income and expenditure, Liu Cheng's demeanor was excited, and his words were reasonable, meticulous, and very clear, even an outsider could see that he knew everything about getting drunk, and he had completely regarded getting drunk as his own industry.
With such loyal, sincere and enthusiastic subordinates, no boss will be unhappy, so when listening to Liu Cheng's somewhat selfless introduction, Liu Yiyi also kept nodding his head, showing that he was very satisfied with Liu Cheng's current work attitude, and he was in vain for his dedication to training
