The candles in the room flickered, flickering and flickering. Qin Hu looked at Tang Xiao's back and opened his mouth, but he still sighed and didn't speak.

The room was very quiet, and I could hear the cold wind beating on the window, whining like weeping.

Tang Xiao turned around and smiled. After a long time, he arched his hand and walked out of the house.

A hesitant look appeared on Qin Hu's face, and just as Tang Xiao opened the door, Qin Hu opened his mouth and stopped him: "Your Highness!" ”

Tang Xiao stopped his movements, looked back and asked, "Senior Brother Qin still has something to say?" ”

"My father-in-law will come to Chang'an in the next year." Qin Hu hesitated, and then said: "Thank Your Highness for what you said tonight, there are some things Your Highness will know in the future." ”

"Senior brother, you should know that I don't mean to complain about you."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I understand." As he spoke, a smile appeared on Qin Hu's face: "Your Highness, you will always be a relative in your humble heart. ”

"Then it's the same as before, call me carefree!"

Looking at the smile on Tang Xiao's face, Qin Hu nodded and sent him outside the house.

"Temple...... Worry-free, my ancestral home is Qizhou Licheng, the word uncle. ”

Hearing these words from behind him, Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed secretly for a while. He had only guessed that Qin Hu's name was not his real name, and he didn't expect that he would be the famous Qin Shubao.

"Senior brother, I remember." Dropping this sentence, Tang Xiao hurriedly left.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, the colder the weather gets. In the blink of an eye, Tang Xiao had been hiding in Nanshan Grange for seven or eight days.

No matter in any time and place, in any era, the speed at which rumors spread is always astonishingly fast. The words of the ancestors are indeed true: good things do not go out, and evil things go thousands of miles.

Tang Xiao's reputation is completely stinky in the Guanlong area, and it is said that even in the Luoyang area of Hedong, there are all kinds of scandals about King Anle.

However, these days, Tang Xiao has no spare time to deal with these gossips that are made out of nothing, because the pork incident in Yunlan Pavilion Restaurant is getting more and more intense. There are groups of powerful people from the family who attack, and there are also people sent by Tang Xiao to help the flames in secret.

In short, everything is in Tang Xiao's plan, and his deployment these days has reached a critical stage, and he needs to pay attention to it at all times.

Moreover, after several years of hard work, the craftsmen of the Grange Weaving Workshop finally made a major breakthrough in the integration of vine plants on the basis of cotton fiber, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the first generation of blended fabrics can be produced.

It was precisely because of this news that Tang Xiao left Chang'an City, the land of right and wrong, and went to Nanshan Grange.

In the newly built mansion study, Tang Xiao had just returned from the weaving workshop and ordered someone to bring a cup of tea. He picked up the ledger on his desk and examined it carefully, gradually frowning slightly.

The Grange's infrastructure has been completed, and only a few workshops are still under construction. In nearly 50 days, more than 10,000 laborers were mobilized, and 70,000 taels of silver were spent on food and wages alone, and the orders for the purchase of raw materials and some commonly used equipment were as high as more than 300,000 taels.

Looking at the remaining silver on the account book is less than 10,000 taels, this is still the result that Cheng, Su, Wei Chi, and He Ruo have invested a total of 270,000 taels of silver.

Such a situation made Tang Xiao have a headache. If there is no silver coming in the future, the workshops he values most will probably have to stop, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Li Erzhu stood beside Tang Xiao, and when he saw His Royal Highness's sad expression, he felt quite apprehensive in his heart.

Since His Highness had put the construction of the Grange in his hands, he had barely had time to sleep. Seeing that this gold-swallowing giant beast could swallow nearly 10,000 taels of silver every day, he could only make careful calculations, and everything that should not be saved had to be saved, and he was tightly maintaining the construction.

"Is there only so much money left in the account?"

Hearing this, Li Erzhu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to Your Highness, this is the account from five days ago." Now the account office can't even settle the food money. ”

"Why didn't you give us an early notice?" Tang Xiao rubbed his temples gently, obviously this result made him have an even more headache.

Li Erzhu glanced at Tang Xiao and said cautiously: "Your Highness is now riddled with rumors, and your subordinates don't dare to let Your Highness add to your worries." ”

Tang Xiao glanced at the second hammer, and was a little angry and laughed: "Confused!" Is that anything important with silver? You and Shiyong will go back to Chang'an in the afternoon, go to Steward Liu and spend some silver from Yunlan Pavilion, and the construction of these workshops cannot be stopped for a moment. ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates...... I ......"

Seeing Li Erzhu's hesitant appearance, Tang Xiao glared at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"My subordinates have already gone to Steward Liu a few days ago, and he said that there is no silver in Yunlan Pavilion's account."

Hearing this, Tang Xiao's head suddenly felt like it was about to explode, and he said excitedly: "Uncle, how is it possible!" ”

"Your Highness, Steward Liu really said so, and his subordinates dare not deceive you."

Tang Xiao looked at Li Erhammer, who was bowing his head at the moment, so that he didn't have to worry about the silver, and also praised and affirmed his achievements in the Grange these days, and let him leave with a few words of relief.

"It seems that I have to go to Liu Shuyi to ask for clarification in person." Tang Xiao frowned and muttered to himself.

For more than a month, he has only taken less than 100,000 taels of silver from Yunlan Pavilion, and with Yunlan Pavilion's performance this quarter, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his account, how can he have no money?

Shen Xingchen's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Doctor Sun has arrived, and Mr. Du has come with him." ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao got up and walked out the door.

Sun Simiao has been studying the medicinal diet of Yu meat in Chang'an City in the past few days according to the recipes provided by Tang Xiao. For example, bitter gourd soup, bitter gourd soup, almond soup, chrysanthemum meat, chestnut stewed meat, etc.

These medicinal diets made of pork made Sun Simiao amazed by the health care everyone. He and the ghost doctor have been sorting out the effects of these medicinal diets for the past few days, and they have just finished sorting it out today. Tang Xiao got the news and asked Shen Xingchen to pick up Sun Simiao, but he didn't expect Du Ruhui to come with him.

That day, when he learned that Du Ruhui had come to visit, Tang Xiao guessed that this famous cowman might be in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. The next day, he went to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and as expected.

It happened that Sun Simiao was invited to Anle Wangfu that day, but he didn't expect Du Ruhui and Sun Simiao to be old acquaintances, so they simply moved to the palace to live.

Outside the study, Shen Xingchen looked tired, saw Tang laughing, cheered up and said, "Your Highness, several gentlemen are waiting in the hall. ”

"Stardust, you've worked hard these days." Tang Xiao said as he walked: "You go to the eldest grandson's mansion in a while, and tell the eldest grandson Wuyi that this king will hold a perfume auction in a few days, and ask him to help invite some rich masters to come and support it." ”

"Your Highness, aren't you planning to announce it until next year?"

"The plan can't keep up with the changes, and there is a shortage of money on the Grange's side. Anyway, there is only one month left before the Chinese New Year, which can be regarded as pre-publicity. ”

Hearing this, Shen Xingchen nodded and didn't ask anything more.
