Cheng Yue was so busy that he didn't return home until nightfall. The good news is that the crowd outside the mansion has dispersed, and the bad news is that Shi Xiu and Ding Yi can't receive the money.

As soon as Cheng Yue entered the door, Luo Shi greeted him, and dutifully accompanied him inside, while telling him about today's affairs in the outer house, and gently dusting off Cheng Yue's body.

When he was about to arrive at the inner house, Cheng Yue turned his head and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Luo Shi heard Cheng Yue call her very intimately, and he was very happy, the Metropolitan Governor clearly did not regard himself as an outsider, and immediately replied: "I haven't eaten it yet, I won't eat it until the Metropolitan Governor comes back, the children have already eaten." ”

Cheng Yue said: "I didn't eat because of your appearance, come on, let's eat together, and your whole family will eat with us in the future." It's all a family, and there is no man, so there's no reason for you to eat by yourself in a foreign house. ”

Luo was even more happy, thinking that the Governor of Dadu saw that his two daughters were beautiful embryos? And that's a good thing.

Cheng Yue and Luo Shi entered the inner house, and all the wives and concubines were really hungry and waiting for Cheng Yue. Ziyan Shiyun also made a cake, which was also set aside and remained motionless.

Gillian and Wan'er knew that Cheng Yue had let their mothers do internal and external affairs, and they were sweet and grateful, so they waited for Cheng Yue to come back. As soon as they saw Cheng Yue, the two girls immediately greeted him, each took Cheng Yue's hand, and pulled him to the table and sat down. Gillian pressed Cheng Yue's legs, and Wan'er pressed her shoulders, and the concubines couldn't help laughing. Mrs. Song took the role of Ding Niang, and Zhang Luo immediately prepared the meal.

Cheng Yue leaned on Wan'er, enjoying their tenderness. Mrs. Song was as if she hadn't seen it, and she was busy before and after. The concubines did it together. Meals were put on the table in no time. Cheng Yue moved his chopsticks. And all the concubines moved.

Luo and Song are very happy, the meals they eat in the outer house are still not as exquisite as the inner house, and the whole family has now to rely on, and the future will definitely get better and better.

After eating, tonight's attendants happened to be Dingniang, Jin'er Yu'er, Gillian and Wan'er. Luo and Song only knew that Cheng Yue had to wait for so many women one night, no wonder the beds in the inner house were very large.

As the housekeeper, Song is also responsible for making the beds of her son-in-law and daughter, which makes her a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she is a mature woman. The temperament is also supple, and he immediately adjusted his mood, and made the bed with Luo, who was afraid that she would be embarrassed to help her.

Cheng Yue and Dingniang also felt a little weird, and Gillian and Wan'er were even more shy. Tomorrow, my mother will have to clean up the bed, what will she think when she sees that mess? It's better to get up early and clean up yourself.

That night, Cheng Yue was very brave, and in the middle of the night he called Su Rong and Yun Luo to wait, but fortunately, the Song family did not live in the inner house, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to see this.

For the next few days, Cheng Yue stayed at the construction site. I give lectures and training to many craftsmen every day.

The religious law has been surveyed, and it is almost unchanged according to Cheng Yue's plan to promulgate the world. Because of Cheng Yue's incessant advocacy of "China Daily", coupled with the fact that Cheng Yue's net of heaven and earth and Cheng Yue were indeed almost plotted, although believers everywhere were dissatisfied with the law, it was acceptable, after all, they did not force believers not to believe in Buddhism, nor did they destroy temples and destroy Buddha.

Cheng Yue sent Zhang Gui to search the temple involved, obtained a large amount of land and property, kept half of it for himself, and sent the other half to the palace as his own offering. Xie Daoqing was very happy, but she was a person who understood, the land was left, and all the money was given back to Cheng Yue in the name of rewards for him to build roads.

Those who originally wanted to write learned about this and knew that the palace also supported Cheng Yue, so they had to stop and no longer dare to dwell on this matter.

On this day, Cheng Yue got the news that Zhang Hui, the Shangshu of the Yuan Dynasty, came to Lin'an, and he didn't know what was going on. As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lu Xiufu asked to see him, and he brought someone with him, and it was Zhang Hui.

Lu Hideo is waiting for an envoy to Japan, and he has to prepare a lot of things, the most important thing is ships and sailors, etc., and he also has to send people to contact him in advance, and there is still some time before the actual departure.

Cheng Yue heard that Lu Xiufu brought Zhang Hui to visit and was very interested. Zhang Hui is Ahma's confidant, scheming, he must have come on behalf of Ahma, what do you want to talk to yourself, doesn't he want to do business with himself?

Cheng Yue didn't trust it, and personally greeted him out and greeted Zhang Hui with each other.

Zhang Hui had only seen Cheng Yue from a distance on the boat before, and this visit, he also wanted to know what kind of person Cheng Yue was.

After the three of them finished giving the salute, Cheng Yue let them into the mansion, along the way Zhang Hui kept praising the scenery of the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yue smiled and said: "If Lord Zhang is interested in the cold house, how about you come to the cold house this time?" ”

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "The governor of the capital loves the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful, but this time it is an official errand, and they don't dare to bother in your mansion casually, if there is a chance to come again in the future, the lower officials will definitely find a way to stay here for a few days." "He is a scholar Zuocheng, and he has a high position in the Yuan Dynasty, but in front of Cheng Yue, he doesn't dare to put on any score.

Cheng Yue heard him say it in an orderly manner, and secretly praised it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then it's a word, I welcome it at any time." ”

When they came to the main hall, the three of them sat down, and Roche and the two servants brought refreshments. Of course, Zhang Hui had never seen Luo, and Lu Xiufu was also angry when he looked at her.

Zhang Hui saw that she was beautiful and not too old, and thought it was Cheng Yue's newly accepted concubine, at that time it was not uncommon to marry an older concubine, and couldn't help but praise: "I heard that the Metropolitan Governor is not shallow, and everyone in the concubine room is as beautiful as a fairy, this is also one of the sixteen concubines married by the Metropolitan Governor a few days ago, and the name is well deserved, it is really enviable." ”

Luo didn't expect Zhang Hui to say this, his face turned red with shame, and he wanted to refute, but he felt that his identity was not enough, so he had to look at Cheng Yue with the eyes of asking for help.

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "Lord Zhang misunderstood, this Mrs. Luo is the steward of my mansion, not my concubine." ”

Zhang Hui thought that Cheng Yue hadn't had time to start yet, and said with a smile: "Since you are from the palace, sooner or later you will also be the concubine of the metropolitan governor, and it is reasonable for the lower officials to congratulate them in advance." ”

Cheng Yue laughed and didn't explain, but Luo was so anxious that he almost fainted, and he didn't dare to interject.

Zhang Hui saw that Luo was embarrassed and anxious, and said that he helped Cheng Yue pierce this layer of window paper, and arched his hand to Luo with a smile and said: "Congratulations, if it is time, the lower officials will definitely ask for a cup of wine." ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "This is the mother of one of my concubines, Master Zhang misunderstood it a little deeper." ”

Zhang Hui was embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to apologize to Luo, who was inconvenient to stay here, so he withdrew after returning the salute.

Cheng Yue said: "Lord Zhang has come thousands of miles this time, I guess I have some advice, right?" ”

Zhang Hui settled down and replied calmly: "The lower officials came this time to do some business with the governor of the capital on the orders of the Great Khan. The Mongols did not shy away from talking about profits, but often discussed them, so Zhang Hui was ashamed to talk about doing business, which was completely different from the scholars and doctors of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Cheng Yue actually appreciated this attitude, and said with a smile: "Since the Great Khan has an order, the Governor should obey it, may I ask what business the Great Khan wants to do with the Governor?" ”

Zhang Hui also secretly cheered, Cheng Yue gave him a lot of face, and he was really a good son-in-law of the Great Khan. So he was not polite, and said: "When the lower officials were leaving, Ahma Pingzhang explained that the Metropolitan Governor is the future attachment of the Great Khan, as long as it is a new thing made by the Metropolitan Governor, no matter what it is, Pingzhang is willing to distribute it for the Metropolitan Governor, so as not to let someone sell it indiscriminately and spoil the market." ”

Zhang Hui relayed Ahma's meaning very clearly, and he wanted to sell Gong Cheng Yue's goods exclusively in the Yuan Dynasty in order to make huge profits. Ahma calculated that Cheng Yue was eager to find a sales outlet for the Yuan Dynasty in order to raise funds for his plan, and the abacus played extremely well, and he deserved to be the first place in the Yuan Dynasty's financial management.

Cheng Yue was not verbose, and immediately said: "Ahma Pingzhang takes care of this governor so much, how can this governor not appreciate it?" Tomorrow, I will send the samples and quotations to Mr. Zhang and bring them back to Pingzhang. In addition, there are some small gifts, and I also ask Lord Zhang to bring them to the Great Khan and the Rank Lords as a little of my heart. ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly got up to thank him, surprised and happy in his heart. Cheng Yue didn't even ask a few words before he immediately finalized the matter, he thought that he would have to bargain with him for a long time. It can be seen that he has full confidence in himself and has a deep understanding of Ahma.

Zhang Hui said again: "When the lower officials were leaving, the Great Khan specially instructed that there are many good horses in Mongolia, but there is no better steel to cast stirrups, so that there are often situations where horses fall due to rust, so I want to buy some good steel stirrups made by the Metropolitan Governor, and you can exchange the horses for them, I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor wants?" ”

Cheng Yue laughed, the so-called buying steel stirrups was a complete excuse, of course, it was to take it back to make weapons, and it was an order given by Kublai Khan himself. The words are also very clear, if you don't give steel, you won't give horses, and it's a shame that Zhang Hui can say these things so roundly, this Zhang Hui is really a talent.

Of course, Lu Xiufu also understood what Zhang Hui meant, knew the stakes and looked at Cheng Yue very worriedly.

Zhang Hui saw Cheng Yue laughing, but he didn't know what he meant, so he had to laugh with Cheng Yue on the side. Bringing back the steel made by Cheng Yue is the biggest purpose of his trip, and it also determines whether he can pay it back or not.

Cheng Yue was prepared early, and after a pause in laughter, he said: "Master Zhang is really a gentleman, and he doesn't bring any fireworks when he speaks. It's not impossible for the Great Khan to ask me to refine steel, but the steel is very expensive, how much can the Great Khan want? ”

Zhang Hui blinked his eyes and said slyly: "Our Mongolian horses are not cheap, how much do the governors want?" ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Lord Zhang is worthy of being Ahma Pingzhang's confidant, and he is extremely safe. In this way, my steel will be lowered by 20% at the market price, and it will not be adulterated. Your horses also have to meet my requirements, only according to the market price of one percent, another achievement is to give you a feed fee, at least 10,000 per year, Lord Zhang, right? ”

Zhang Hui was overjoyed, and praised Cheng Yue in his heart for being interesting. That is said to be the feed fee, but in fact, it is a commission for their handlers, as long as they do a good job of the horse, they can receive a large amount of wealth every year. Immediately said: "The price given by the Metropolitan Governor is extremely fair, and the lower officials have no opinions." (To be continued......)
