Chapter 13 Idleness
When Li Xi and his three carriages drove into Jinyuan County, it was almost late, and it was the time when the sun was full of sunset.
On the way back, Li Xi explained the true meaning of the franchise store to Li Yifeng and Liu Rong, and the three of them even discussed a rough outline in the carriage, that is, to bring in Xian Yujia's funds in the name of the franchise store, and at the same time to prevent them from taking the opportunity to really penetrate into the interior of Jiannan Yaochun.
In a word, they took out real money to help open the store, and they could give them dividends in the future, but the brand of Jiannan Burning Spring was absolutely not allowed to let them share some profits.
Before the carriage entered the city, Li Yifeng and Liu Rong got out of the car and returned to their carriage, and after entering the city, they separated from Li Xi at the two forks and went home, while Li Xi went straight to his mansion.
When I got out of the carriage at the door of my house, I felt like I was falling apart.
When Rao was ordering the carriage, Li Xi had already ordered it in accordance with all the highest technical standards of this era, but even so, the shock-absorbing function of the carriage was still unflatteringly tight.
After entering his own house, Li Xi wanted to take a break and take a shower, and by the way, he asked Wu Lan to pinch him, but he had just entered the door, and a steward named Zhao Lao'an arranged by Wu Lan in the house had already hurried over after getting the news.
Asked Anbi, but Zhao Laoan handed over a famous thorn, Li Xi took it and took a look, and saw that it was a post from Zhou's mansion, and he was surprised at the moment, so he walked and asked, then Zhao Lao'an honestly told the situation, Li Xi didn't even enter the front hall, and said: "In this case, you go and let people pull the carriage out again, and I will go to Zhou's mansion." β
In the morning, Zhou Qiong deliberately sent someone from his family to hand over the name thorn, saying that as soon as Li Xi came back from Chengdu, he would immediately go to Zhou's mansion to go over, Li Xi didn't know what the teacher Zhou Qiong was looking for, it didn't matter, but since the teacher Zhou Qiong specially sent someone to pass the word, then no matter how tired he was, of course he had to hurry over.
At this time, Yang Huahua and Wu Lan were sitting opposite each other in the back house.
Yang Huahua came here today to deliberately fight for beauty, so she came in full costume, that is, Wu Lan was very beautiful, and she couldn't help but be pressed down by her, but Wu Lan's surname was scattered, and she could vaguely guess some of Yang Huahua's thoughts, and she didn't want to compare anything with her at this time, just smiled and talked to her. But the more she is like this, although she is plain and simple, she is gentle and self-controlled, and she has an indescribable virtuous charm, and she unconsciously fought with Yang Huahua to win each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
When Li Xi came back, the two of them were drinking tea and chatting there, of course, the so-called small talk is said to be when the two sides of the small talk are two women, especially when they are two very beautiful and very smart women, and they are still vaguely on the hostile side...... It's often not a small talk, but a quiet war of words.
Yang Huahua is a very smart character, and at the moment she is coming with grandeur, and her natural language is provocative, although Wu Lan is not as good at spreading the world's human feelings as her, but when it comes to being smart, she is not worse than her, but after getting used to the vicissitudes of the world, the surname is more gentle and light, and at the moment, Yang Huahua has answered her questions, but it is also trickle-down.
There was a lot of harmony between the two of them on the surface, but behind the scenes, they didn't know how many guns and knives were going back and forth, but Arthur was young and naΓ―ve and didn't understand the wit in the words of these two smart women, but he just felt that this Miss Wu was so beautiful and kind to others, so he quickly forgot about his own young lady's instructions before he came, and felt that he was like staying at his own home, Yang Huahua sighed secretly, but Wu Lan was very happy with her carelessness.
At this time, I heard that Li Xi was back, she had already gotten out of the carriage and was heading to the front hall, Wu Lan and Yang Huahua stood up almost at the same time, Wu Lan didn't need to say it, she was still Li Xi's singer in terms of identity, the master was back, she should naturally go to the door of the back house to greet her, and Yang Huahua had already made up her mind to put a moth out of the fire this time, and she stood up naturally, and she was also ready to go to the door with Wu Lan to pick it up.
It's a pity that the two of them just tacitly went out of the room together, and they got the news from the front, saying that although the prince was back, he didn't even enter the front hall, and he didn't drink a sip of water and directly greeted the carriage to go out again, and it was said that this time he went to the Zhou Mansion.
Wu Lan knew that the Zhou Mansion had sent someone over to deliver the famous assassin in the morning, so after listening to the report of the next person, she immediately understood what was going on, but when Yang Huahua heard the news, she couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating. She didn't know that Li Xi didn't know that she was a guest here at the moment, and when she heard that he didn't even enter the front hall and left again, she couldn't help but think in her heart, what's the matter, I heard that I was here, so you won't enter the house?
Since when did he actually avoid me?
Wu Lan turned her head to look at her, "Young lady, or, let's go back and sit down for a while, wait a minute?" β
Before I came, Yang Huahua, the young lady of Pei Yang's family, didn't say that she came to find Li Xi, and they said that they felt that everyone lived so close, so they came to visit the door, just chatting with Miss Wu to relieve the loneliness of the spring boudoir.
It's just that after being repeatedly provoked by Yang Huahua just now, although Wu Lan is generous, she is still a little unhappy in her heart, and this time she just took the opportunity to get it back, and this question directly pointed to the real purpose of Yang Huahua's trip. At this time, Yang Huahua was a little upset, and she didn't think about it when she heard her words for a while, so she didn't taste the irony in Wulan's words.
At that moment, she just hesitated for a moment and smiled brightly at Wu Lan, but when she said it, she gritted her teeth tightly-
"Wait!"

And at this time, Li Xi, who sat back in the carriage again, rubbed his sore arm, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking about the time when he was a little white-collar worker in his previous life, and felt that the bosses didn't do a lot of money all day long, but this time he also started a business and became a boss, only to find that it is not easy to be a boss! Not to mention anything else, these days, I just spend more time running around in a carriage than lying in bed, which is called a tiredness!
However, then again, these days have been tiring, but as long as I remember that I have only been in the Tang Dynasty for two months, I have already done so many things, and I am really proud and have a sense of accomplishment.
And these days, seeing that Jiannan's business is so hot, and the business of selling vegetables is booming again, it seems that even his position in the county government has suddenly become firm, and even Pei Jun has been much more low-key in the face of his series of great successes.
Even when he went to the county government a few days ago, even the county magistrate Zheng Shuang frequently showed favor to himself, looking at what he meant, it seemed that he regretted that he had contracted all the things of selling vegetables to himself, and now he also wants to come in and get a piece of the pie. placed in the county lieutenant Jiang'an, a few days ago, he repeatedly invited himself to his house to drink.
It's no wonder that they are like this, not to mention the achievements of Jiannan Yaochun, just a vegetable cultivation that was not favored by everyone in advance, and the facts so far have proved that they have been successful. Not to mention the small county level, the three big markets in Shuzhou, Meizhou and Yizhou alone have exceeded 100,000 yuan in sales on the first day, including Chengdu Mansion alone, including more than a dozen small markets that have been opened below, and the sales on the first day have reached a staggering 380,000 yuan!
In the face of such a huge success, not only the worries and concerns of those people in the county government have been swept away, but everyone understands that this policy of exchanging vegetables for rice will definitely succeed. Even the farmers below who were not optimistic about planting vegetables, got the vegetable money at this time, and found that all the calculations were made, and the profits of planting vegetables were even greater than that of planting rice, so these people reported that those who would rather grab wheat than plant vegetables were actually complaining and regretting it one by one, according to Liu Rong, if you want to continue to engage in vegetable planting now, the registration can at least exceed 500,000 mu!
500,000 mu is already half of the cultivated land in Shangxian such as Jinyuan!
Things have come to this point, and the current mess in Jinyuan can already be said to have opened up the situation preliminarily, and everyone has seen these situations in their eyes and in their hearts, including Pei Junjiangan and others, naturally they will not and dare not find their own troubles at this time, and even they have to be polite to themselves in turn. As for the little officials in the county government, they naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful, and they were all well-behaved and hot in front of them.
And with these foundations, it is no longer difficult to think that in the future, whether you want to continue to expand the planting area, or to prepare for the establishment of the official and business clubs in Shuzhou.
When the thoughts in his heart were chaotic, the carriage had already arrived all the way to the gate of the Zhou Mansion.
Li Xi got out of the car and went straight to the hall, these people often come to practice and read, he is already very familiar with the Zhou family, and the people know that their master values this student very much, so as long as he comes, he can go in directly without even needing to report.
happened to meet a servant in the courtyard who was waiting for errands outside the teacher Zhou Qiong's study, Li Xi asked, and learned that the teacher Zhou Qiong was in the study at the moment, so he went straight to the study.
When he arrived outside the study, he straightened his clothes, cleaned up and down, and gasped for breath again, before he spoke: "Teacher, disciple Li Xi asks to see." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhou Qiong in the study: "Zi is here, come in." β
Li Xi pushed the door in, but saw Zhou Qiong putting down the scroll in his hand, seeing Li Xi's face full of dust, knowing that he had obviously just come home, and he didn't even delay washing his face, he couldn't help but smile at the moment, and said: "Let you come over after you come back, but it's not so urgent, you don't even wash your face, go, let someone make a basin of water for you, wash your face." β
Li Xi just smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything, he came out to fetch water and washed his face, and straightened his clothes against the basin, and then knocked on the door of the study again.
After letting him sit down, Zhou Qiong knocked on the bookcase and said lightly: "I know that you are busy, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch you, so I asked someone to call you with a name." After thinking about it, he said: "No matter how busy things are, don't lose ground, you need to know that the busier you are, the more you need to have a leisure heart in your chest." β
Li Xi wanted to laugh when he heard his previous words, but after listening to the latter sentence, he couldn't laugh, so he got up and bowed deeply at the moment, and said, "Disciple obeys the teacher's teachings." It's been a busy period of time, everything is in the ascendant, I don't feel at ease if I don't go to see it in person, and it will be better in the future. But please rest assured, no matter how busy the students are, as long as you explain the past, you can catch the students at any time. β
Zhou Qiong smiled when he heard this, and reprimanded with a smile: "Flim tongue! β
When Li Xi sat down again, he touched his beard and said, "There are two things that called you over this time. β
Li Xi sat upright when he heard this, and said seriously: "Disciple listens. β
I couldn't help beating the drum in my heart, thinking that I was doing something wrong and making people grasp my shortcomings, so the teacher called me over so formally to explain?
But if you think about it, no! Although these people have been busy recently because of the opening of Jiannan Burning Spring and vegetable supermarkets one after another, so the county government will inevitably go less, but anyway, I still have a title of going out on business, vegetable planting and vegetable sales, originally for the county's disaster relief!
couldn't figure it out, so Li Xi had to cautiously glance at Zhou Qiong's face, and saw that there didn't seem to be displeasure on his face, so he lowered his head and listened carefully to his two things.
