Chapter Twenty-Five: So Stupid
"Miss Qingge, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been a little busy recently, and the business matters will bother you a lot. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info" Peng Yue sat in his seat and took a sip of tea unhurriedly. ”
Peng Yue didn't expect Qiu Qingge to be so talented in doing business, she said that she didn't know this way, it turned out to be just a humble remark.
At the beginning, Peng Yue hired someone to run it, and Qiu Qingge just helped take care of it and ran around. Unexpectedly, it only took less than a year of hard work, Qiu Qingge already knew this well, whether it was the overall management and operation, or some details, it was actually well organized. In this way, Peng Yue naturally confidently and boldly handed over Caoyun's business to Qiu Qingge, and he was busy with the reform of the government wholeheartedly.
"Yes, Brother Peng is the right attendant of the household department, and now he is busy opening a school and a newspaper, so he has no time to take care of such trivial matters." Qiu Qingge quipped.
"How's the land business going?" Peng Yue put down the teacup, but he didn't have any intention of joking at the moment.
"I don't know about this..."Qiu Qingge put his hands on his knees, "You better ask the other shopkeepers, you have just started this matter, I am not familiar with it, and I have to learn it slowly." And the current business of Caoyun is enough for me to keep busy..."
"This matter must be done as soon as possible..."Peng Yue pondered, "Now that Caoyun's business has taken shape, it is best to take this opportunity to start land transportation..."
It turned out that Peng Yue found that Cao Yun was only suitable for long-distance transportation and places with convenient waterways, and many places were still out of reach. Therefore, Peng Yue came up with the idea of starting land transportation, and the difficulty was naturally to build roads. He had no way to persuade Zhu Houyu to agree to take a large part of the silver from the household department to build roads, nor did he have any way to get Zhu Houyu to accept the advanced view that "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", so he could only start with a small carriage and horse shop and develop short-distance land transportation. But Peng Yue firmly believes that as his business continues to grow, the transportation industry will definitely develop better and better.
"Why is it that as soon as Sister Qingge comes, you talk to people about business, and you don't know what else to say?" Ziling smiled and beckoned, "Didn't you see that Sister Qingge's tea is cold?" ”
"Tea, please." A very watery maid refilled Qiu Qingge's tea.
"This is a new invitation from the house, called Hongwei." Peng Yue explained, "I am usually responsible for taking care of Ziling. ”
However, it is said that Peng Yue has also made a lot of money in the past two years by taking advantage of the convenience of economic reform and moved into a luxurious mansion, and naturally many people have been invited to the house.
"Wei'er is cute, and she is usually kind, and she is very likable..."Ziling said with a smile on the side.
said that this red myrtle was just bought by Ziling when she saw her pitiful at that time. But after buying it back, I found that this red myrtle is indeed popular. First, this girl is cute, and she is also well-behaved and obedient. Second, Hongwei's life experience is a little miserable, she was sold by her parents to someone else's family as a maid since she was a child, which makes Ziling, who also has such a background, feel empathy, and can't help but feel pity.
Since Hongwei entered the mansion, Ziling took her with her to take care of her and made her her her personal maid. On weekdays, the two of them are like close friends in the boudoir, whispering in the room, which makes Peng Yue sometimes feel that he has become an "outsider".
"It's like how old you are, and you're not a few years older than others, haha... Uh..."Peng Yue saw Ziling glaring at him, immediately lowered his head and drank tea, and said no more.
"Brother Peng, actually... You can select some people in the academy to help you take care of your business. After all, your business is getting bigger and bigger, and you need more and more people..."Qiu Qingge suggested on the side.
"Huh? How is this possible? Peng Yue had a surprised expression on his face, "Those people in the school are all for the imperial examination high school and enter the court as officials, if I persuade them to change to business, I'm afraid they won't want to, right?" ”
"Not really..."Qiu Qingge pursed his lips and smiled, "Many of the children in this school are children from poor families, especially some children from poor families whose grades are not too good and have little hope for the imperial examination, if Master Peng can personally persuade them and give them a chance to learn to take care of business, they may not be unwilling." Besides, isn't this idea all taught? ”
"This method... It's really good..."Peng Yue thought and couldn't help laughing. He suddenly felt that Qiu Qingge's method was very feasible, and the school he opened was not only teaching the way of Confucius and Mencius, but also the original intention of opening his own school was not to help students achieve good results in the imperial examination, it was just a cover for recruitment. In fact, the purpose of opening this school is to open people's wisdom, and if it can guide some people to change to business, it can't be said to be better.
"If Brother Peng doesn't have enough manpower, it's better to let Sister Ling'er take care of the land transportation business for you." Qiu Qingge raised his head from the teacup, stared at Ziling and smiled.
"Sister Qingge, don't make fun of me, I can't do this, just the business of this restaurant is enough for me to be busy..."Ziling smiled and waved her hand, "I can't compare to Sister Qingge..."
"Sister Ling'er is going to make fun of me again..."Qiu Qingge pursed his lips and laughed, his heart was as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
When Peng Yue saw Ziling and Qiu Qingge like this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Thinking about the strong smell of gunpowder when the two first met, and then looking at the two of them now joking with each other like close friends, I really feel that the world has changed, but I am afraid that there are many relationships like the two of them, right?
"Miss Qingge, I recently opened a new textile factory in the south of the city, you can take a look if you have time" Peng Yue tapped his hand on the table, interrupting the laughter of the two.
"That field, I've seen it, it's really good, it's just such a big textile field, right now in the capital, you Peng Daren is willing to open it, dare to open it" Qiu Qingge and Ziling just joked, but they made Peng Yue's joke again.
"Uh... I have obtained an edict from the emperor..."Peng Yue coughed lightly twice, putting on a serious expression, "So in the future, this expansion matter will not be a problem." At present, as long as you want to open the capital and have the strength to open it, there is no problem. ”
"I know this, but it's just a joke about Brother Peng, why are you so serious!" Qiu Qingge turned sideways slightly, "If Brother Peng is always like this, then in the future, this Peng Mansion... I don't dare to come..."
"Look, you made Sister Qingge angry, what should I do?" Ziling raised a small face and turned her body sideways, but her eyes kept glancing back at Peng Yue.
"You two—" Peng Yue smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know what to say.
"That's it, Miss Qingge, the weaving bureau and the ordnance office I supervised in the past two days have been completed, otherwise I invite you to come in and have a visit?" Peng Yue craned his neck and asked.
When Ziling heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Silly melon, how can you be like this... Coaxing girls? ”
"I think it's my honor..."Qiu Qingge turned his face, his face couldn't tell whether he was embarrassed or complaining, "This weaving bureau and the arsenal are not just casual to enter..."
"Look, people are mad at you!" Ziling smiled mischievously at Peng Yue, as if she deliberately wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
"Then Miss Qingge will stay in the house today, and I will personally cook for Miss Qingge to accompany her..."Peng Yue got up from his seat and turned to Qiu Qingge, "Miss Qingge, what do you think of this?" ”
"In this way, I will be blessed, I can actually eat the dishes made by Master Peng..."Qiu Qingge said, and then covered his mouth and sneered.
"What's the good thing, the food he makes is unpalatable, I don't want to eat a bite!" Ziling glared at Peng Yue and pulled him over from Qiu Qingge's side, "Seeing that you are smiling so badly, cooking is not much better!" ”
"Where am I laughing badly?" Peng Yue touched his face, "You also said that my cooking is unpalatable, and the dishes you can cook are not all taught to you by me?" ”
"Okay, you can do it today..."Ziling grimaced at Peng Yue, "I want to see what you can do!" ”
"Wei'er, don't help in the kitchen tonight..."Ziling said to Hongwei, who was standing aside, "Let him do it himself today!" As he spoke, he pointed at Peng Yue again.
"Miss Qingge, you can stay in this mansion tonight, I'll have someone clean up your room..."Peng Yue didn't care about Ziling's "provocative" behavior, "Although I haven't cooked for a long time, after all, the craftsmanship is still there!" ”
"It stinks beautiful!" Ziling took a sip at Peng Yue, "Wei'er, don't buy today's dishes, let Master Peng buy them himself!" ”
"Sister Ling'er, what are you doing here?" Peng Yue turned around and hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Aren't I also thinking that I can cook a meal for you, I always keep you busy every day, and I don't want to go..."
"Hmph, people are not uncommon!" Ziling pursed her lips, but smiled sweetly.
"Oh, don't pull people, hurry up and cook..."
