Chapter 113: Return to Yi County
Early the next morning, without informing the county order, Li Yao and the city guards left the county seat, now it's almost summer, it's very hot at noon, although it is said that summer practice is three, a little hot can exercise people, but after all, it is not training, Li Yao also wants the city guards and caravans to rest for a while at the hottest noon!
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't rest in the county seat at night, but it was all a big road, and the road was very flat, so it was also very good to camp in the wild, but that's it, the city guards were still camping and had to do protection, which shows the strength of military discipline!
After three days of hurrying, Li Yao finally returned to Yi County, and there were many people who came to greet Li Yao, such as the fat man, Li Feng, the craftsman king and others, his flat wife Gu Yina, the maid Lian'er, Tao'er and others, Song Boming, the county commander of Yi County, Shao Xiangming, the chief general of the city guard, and Wang Changzhu, the housekeeper, and others were waiting outside the city!
Ouyang Qing couldn't meet Li Yao because he couldn't come to greet him!
Coming to the city gate, Li Yao smiled and said: "Thank you for coming to greet me, everyone is welcome to enjoy the banquet in my house tonight!" ”
Song County Ling hurriedly said: "Welcome Hou Ye back to his home!" ”
Li Yao said with a smile: "Song County Order, when I left for a while, is Yi County's management okay?" ”
Song Boming nodded: "The seeds have already been planted in the ground, and the land opened up in the west is planted with alfalfa, and the land will be raised in the first year, and you can grow food in the second year!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, Yi County, you have to help me take care of it!" ”
Song County Ling nodded yes.
As soon as Li Yao returned to the house, he immediately asked the craftsman king to follow him to the study, and Li Yao asked, "Grandpa craftsman, how are the weapons prepared?" ”
The craftsman king thought for a moment and said: "With the efforts of five thousand craftsmen, 50,000 sets of armor have been barely made, and 100,000 knives have been made, which is barely enough for the army!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa Craftsman Wang, the armor is not in a hurry, the knife has 100,000 handles for the time being, so I want to ask how the firearms are going!" ”
The craftsman said: "The amount of gunpowder we need is too large, and I asked Guo Guanghao to set up a few caravans to buy materials, but that's it, the firearms that Shen Hezhi transported to Yiguo already accounted for half of the inventory!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa Craftsman Wang, anyway, within three months, you have to blow out a hole in this mountain range that blocks Yiguo and Qi Kingdom!" ”
The craftsman king smiled: "As long as the gunpowder is enough, I can blow it up in a month!" ”
Li Yao said: "That's good, that's right, Grandpa Craftsman Wang, I have found the mountain road from Yiguo to Qiguo, but the road is too dangerous, if you still have enough physical strength, I want you to follow me on this mountain road!" ”
King Craftsman smiled: "You don't have to worry about my body, even if you live for twenty or thirty years, there is no problem, you can tell me the time, when will we leave!" ”
Li Yao pondered for a while: "In a few days, after the marriage between me and Qing'er is completed, let's set off, and when I ask Changzhu to find an auspicious day for the zodiac, I will go to marry Qing'er!" ”
The craftsman touched his beard and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for your wedding sedan chair in the mansion to marry Qing'er!" ”
Li Yao smiled and said: "Grandpa Craftsman Wang, don't worry, I will definitely go to your mansion as soon as possible to marry Qing'er!" ”
The craftsman nodded: "Then I'll go out first, I know you have a lot of things, so I won't bother you, you can come out to eat as soon as you finish your errands!" ”
Li Yao smiled and nodded.
Seeing that the craftsman king walked out, Li Yao called the guards and asked the guards to call the fat man over!
The fat man came over quickly.
Li Yao said: "Fatty, this time has been hard for you, and you are selling agents and buying gunpowder materials!" ”
The fat man waved his hand and said, "Big brother, what are you talking about, compared to Big Brother, you endured humiliation and went to Yiguo, I am simply too easy!" ”
Li Yao asked: "By the way, is it that the agency rights of Hou Ye Liquor in Kangshan County have not been sold yet?" ”
As soon as the fat man heard Li Yao ask about business matters, he immediately became serious and said: "Big brother, you also know that as soon as our Hou Ye Liquor was launched, it was well received by the people of the whole country, so there are many people who come to buy the agency of Hou Ye Liquor, but the price is not in line with my mind, I want to hang the appetite of some people first, and then sell the agency right of Hou Ye Liquor at a high price!" ”
Li Yao asked, "How much money did those businessmen pay to buy the agency right of Hou Ye Liquor?" ”
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Basically, the agency right of Hou Yejiu in a county town is 100,000 taels of silver, but my psychological price is 150,000 taels, so I still want to drag it out!" ”
Li Yao was shocked, the agency right to sell Hou Ye's wine was only forty or fifty thousand taels of silver, but now the businessman has paid one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the fat man has not sold it yet, it seems that the agency of this wine is really profitable!
So he said: "Fatty, you still have the agency to do this Hou Ye Wine, but a businessman who came with me this time is a person from the county order of Kangshan County, and we still need the help of the county order of Kangshan County for the time being, so I want to sell him an agency, and you can talk to him about it!" ”
The fat man nodded: "Don't worry, leave this little thing to me!" ”
Li Yao patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Fat man, then you go to the banquet and wait for me first, I'll come over later!" ”
The fat man nodded yes and went out!
Li Yao walked out of the door, saw Wang Changzhu waiting at the door, and said: "Changzhu, you came just in time, my marriage with Ouyang Qing, you can help me choose a date, you must be as soon as possible, the last few days are the best!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "Master Hou, I'll do this matter immediately, but I want to report to you about the situation in the wine shop first!" ”
Li Yao said: "It's just right, I also want to hear it, let's talk while walking!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded, "The wine in the winery has always been sold out as soon as it came out, so I expanded the scale and built another big winery on the Gobi Desert!" ”
Li Yao nodded and affirmed: "Well, you are doing a good job, if the goods are in short supply, you should indeed expand the scale, and you can discuss more with the fat man about the wine!" ”
Wang Changzhu nodded and said, "This province is from my province, and I only expanded it after discussing it with Young Master Guo!" ”
"Well, you're doing a great job!" Li Yao nodded: "By the way, I want to give you a task now, that is, there are two women in my carriage, you go with me now, and then you find a yard to arrange the two of them alone!" ”
Wang Changzhu said: "Master Hou, I have already arranged those two women to go to another courtyard, and told the maid and servant that this is a forbidden place, and you are not allowed to enter without my permission!" ”
"Huh? Which hospital did you go to? Take me to see it! Li Yao asked.
Wang Changzhu led the way in front and took Li Yao to the courtyard, Li Yao said: "Changzhu, you go to find two maids to come over, temporarily serve the people inside, you must take care of me!" ”
Wang Changzhu smiled: "Master Hou, don't worry, I won!" After speaking, he gave Li Yao a 'I understand' look!
Looking at Wang Changzhu's distant figure, Li Yao said angrily: "It must be the fat man who took Changzhu badly, Changzhu turned out to be very pure!" ”
