Chapter 240: Longyang City
"The pearl trade is not busy, Hua has a job to hire two."
Hua Lan's modern noun made the two confused, or Wei Cheng was clever: "Childe has something for me to do, right?" Yes! Just ask Childe to tell me something, and we'll do our best to do our best. ”
Wei Cheng is refreshing, and Cheng Shu is not bad: "Yes, what Wei Cheng said is right, son, just give orders." ”
What Hua Lan wants is the positive attitude of the two.
"Hua wants to build a trade department in Shanhai, and intends to ask two people to take up the two positions of purchasing and statistics. The monthly silver is fifty taels, and there is also a share of 1,000 points per month, would you two be willing? ”
Fifty taels, moon silver?
Wei Cheng's pupils dilated several times, "What Childe said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true."
Hua Lan looked at Cheng Shu.
Cheng Shu hesitated a little and asked innocently: "However, we have never done any such work as purchasing and statistics. If you don't do it well, isn't it because you have mistaken the young man's business? At that time, if Childe loses money, will we be responsible? ”
When Wei Cheng heard this, he was also worried, "Yes, Childe, Wei Cheng can't do anything?" ”
"It doesn't matter. Buying is based on the needs of the order to purchase the pearls of the market, the price you must understand. ”
"We know this, and we will definitely be able to negotiate the most affordable price for Childe."
Wei Cheng said sincerely, and worried: "However, what if there is no order, will the son also send us monthly silver?" ”
"Also, we work at the Trade Department every day, every month, so can we sell pearls again?"
"Rest assured, the monthly silver will be paid out regularly every month. The job is when the night market is open, or when you find a pearl source to negotiate business. You have enough to work for eight hours a day, and the rest of the time you are free. Buy and sell pearls, of course. ”
There is moon silver, and you can also have spare time to buy and sell pearls, and Cheng Shu is naturally happy.
The two of them gave a small look of acquiescence, and said to Hua Lan in unison: "Childe, we agree." ”
"Okay, if you agree, let's sign a few deeds and sign them for three years first. If, after three years, you still want to stay in the Trade Department, Hua will naturally not be able to ask for it, what do you think? ”
Of course, the two of them were happy, there was pen and paper on the table, and the ink was not yet dry.
Hua Lan wrote a contract, handed one to each of them, kept one for herself, and then introduced to the two: "From tomorrow onwards, you will obey the deployment of the Shi Supervision Office." When the Department of Trade is actually completed, you can start working in earnest. In the meantime you will receive a penari a day for compensation. ”
"Good!"
Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu were both overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Shi Jingyun: "I've seen the supervisor." ”
"Shi Supervisor's Office", this term sounds novel, Shi Jingyun nodded to the two, and there was a smile on his cold face: "Happy cooperation, please take care of me in the future." ”
Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu pursed their lips and smiled, "Shi Jian Office is polite. ”
This matter was settled in this way, Hua Lan sent Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu away, took out a silver ticket of one million taels and handed it to Shi Jingyun: "These are the deposits for the construction of the Trade Department and the collection of pearls, and when everything is on track, Hua will come back from Kunlun Mountain, and then arrange the next problem to be solved." ”
What's the next problem to solve?
Shi Jingyun's eyes flashed with curiosity, took the silver ticket, didn't ask, and left the room.
Hua Lan bought a lot of pearls tonight, and spent a lot of silver tickets.
As soon as Shi Jingyun left, she said to Jin Se: "Girl, go and rest." ”
Jin Se looked at the dozen boxes of pearls on the table, and was very worried about Hua Lan: "Childe carries so many pearls on the road, will it be convenient?" ”
"Hua has her own way, Miss Jinse can rest assured."
Hua Lan has a treasure box, not to mention these dozen boxes of pearls, even if it is a few hundred boxes.
"Okay."
Jin Se just stopped curiously, the playboy is a strange person, two sleeves can hold such a large amount of silver tickets, and a few boxes of pearls, it is probably a piece of cake.
It's useless to be curious, I can't find the answer in Hua Lan's body.
Jin Se smiled slightly, and stepped out of Hua Lan's door.
She didn't remind Hua Lan that she and the spring silkworm were both men's clothes, and it would be very inappropriate to leave a peony in the room.
……
As soon as Jin Se went out, Hua Lan realized that Peony couldn't live in the same room as herself.
At this time, the spring silkworm came out, came to her and asked in a low voice, "Master, what about the peony girl?" Do you want her to sleep with Miss Jinse? ”
Jin Se has been sleeping alone in a room, not only because of her noble status, but also for very important reasons, she deliberately always be alert to the abnormal movements around her.
It is impossible for Peony to be in the same room as Jinse.
Hua Lan thought for a moment and said to the spring silkworm: "You go and talk to the shopkeeper, and then open a room for Peony to live in." ”
"But?"
The spring silkworm was worried, and as soon as she spoke, she saw Peony walking out of the room with an expressionless face and stunned eyes, and walked to the table next to her as if no one was around. She didn't sit on the chair, but lay on the corner of the table in a daze, with one hand on her head, her body curled up slightly, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"This, this, this?"
The spring silkworm's eyes were about to pop out, and she looked at Hua Lan in astonishment: "Master? ”
She was asking, "Do you want to book another room?" ”
Hua Lan sighed, if she booked a room, Peony would not dare to live, her heart was very traumatized, and she really couldn't drive her away at this moment.
So he whispered to the spring silkworm: "You go to the shopkeeper and ask for a soft couch and futon." Peony just slept here. ”
"Okay."
The spring silkworm went out in response, and when he went downstairs, he happened to meet Xiaoshou, so he asked: "Is there a soft couch in the inn?" ”
Xiao Shou didn't notice the peony, and hurriedly asked, "Is there not enough bed in the room?" ”
Spring silkworm was a little impatient: "Just tell me, is there any, what are you talking about?" ”
Xiao Shou hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes." ”
As he spoke, he was about to fetch it, but the spring silkworm was a little embarrassed, and said in a gentle tone: "It's best to add a bed and bedding." ”
Xiao Shou understood, and immediately went to get it.
After a while, he and a fellow lifted the soft couch up, saw the peony on the ground, and then woke up, and quickly put the soft couch and carefully exited the door.
Hua Lan and the spring silkworm laid out the soft couch and stepped forward to call for Peony: "Peony girl, let's go to bed and rest?" The night is cold, and you are careful of getting sick. ”
But the peony was motionless, her breath was even, and she slept even more deadly.
What to do?
What can I do, Peony sleeps underground, how can she Hualan sleep peacefully?
Peony's state is really worrying him, if he entrusts her to Shi Jingyun, Peony's condition will definitely be more serious.
Hua Lan sighed, signaled to the spring silkworm, and the two of them carried the peony on the soft couch one after the other.
With such a big movement, Peony still didn't move.
The person was lying on the couch, and his posture did not change at all.
Hua Lan had no choice but to cover the quilt for her and go back to the room with the spring silkworm to rest.
Nothing to do overnight, a dawn.
When Hua Lan opened her eyes, the spring silkworm had already called for washing water and arranged breakfast.
Hua Lan pointed outside, and before she could speak, she saw Peony Wood walk in in a daze, walked to the water basin, wrung out the water in the water basin, and reached out to hand it to Hua Lan.
Hua Lan took the veil in amazement, and then looked at Peony's face, her eyes were dull and there was no trace of brilliance, and even the movements of her limbs were a little mechanical stiff. Overnight, it was as if the soul had been drained, and only a shell remained.
Peony's condition is getting worse.
Hua Lan frowned worriedly and wiped her face. Without waiting for Peony's hand to reach out to her to take the veil, she went to the basin and laid it on top of it.
The spring silkworm hurriedly came over to help her comb her hair, and the spring silkworm was quick in her hands, and it didn't take long to tie up Hua Lan's hair and tie it neatly.
She was afraid that Peony would rob her of her job, and at this time, she didn't dare to provoke Peony.
Peony was so weird that her scalp was starting to tingle.
Peony didn't mean to compete with her for work, and saw that the spring silkworm combed Hua Lan's hair, and went out with a basin of water.
Everyone ate breakfast in a very strange silent atmosphere, and Hua Lan's desire to drop the peony had to be put down for a while.
She instructed Hua San to prepare the car, bring the peony, and several people got into the carriage and left Shanhai Town.
Of course, King Shou'an brought the Praetorian Guards with him.
Shi Jingyun woke up late, last night he instructed Xiao Shou to inquire about the town's street mansion, Xiao Shou came to knock on the door in the morning, and he got up to open the door.
Hua Lan's wolf smoke yesterday not only attracted Shi Jingyun, but also the elders of this beggar gang.
Xiaoshou found two mansions facing the street. One is a large shop in the front and a back house, and the other is a large mansion.
Shi Jingyun gave Xiao Shou the benefit and took the elder to buy the big shop in the front store and the back house.
Since he can get six points of profit, Shi Jingyun doesn't want to let go of such a great opportunity. He informed Yuan Hong, the leader of the beggar gang, of Hua Lan's plan.
The renovation of the shop was carried out quickly, and it did not take an hour for the plaque of the shop to be hung.
When Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu came to the town, the three glittering signboards of the Trade Department began to explode in Shanhai Town.
When the two arrived at the Trade Office, Shi Jingyun had already finished his primary work in the town.
When he saw the two of them, he hurriedly introduced them to the elders and arranged for their respective duties.
Everything is ready, and the daylight has moved to the middle of the sky. Shi Jingyun ate something, and then led the horse to chase in the direction of Hua Lan.
Shanhai Town suddenly had a trade office, which naturally caused quite a stir, and Yuan Hong was even more shocked after receiving the news from the elders.
This playboy is too unusual, and Yuan Hong is not a fool, so he immediately ordered it to go down, and organized capable personnel to start selling to various places.
These disciples of the beggar gang are very powerful, they beg on the street on weekdays, and they have endured the discrimination of white eyes, and now they have such a great opportunity to turn over, of course, they spare no effort. For a time, orders from all over the country generally flocked to the mountains and seas.
Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu were only idle for three days, and they began to get busy one after another.
Hua Lan's million taels of silver began to snowball, and the trade department's business got better and better, and the snowball became bigger and bigger.
Of course, that's all for later.
In the past, Shanhai Town was one big town after another. There are more big towns, and the flat avenues are gradually increasing.
Hua Lan asked the spring silkworms to prepare a lot of food at the inn, and several people had a hasty lunch on the carriage. The carriage galloped all the way, and when it arrived at Longyang City, it was not yet unitary time.
Along the way, Peony has been very quiet, except that her eyes are still dull, and she seems to be in good spirits.
Hua Lan instructed Hua San to enter Longyang City and asked for three upper rooms at the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city.
She asked the spring silkworm to guard the peony and took Jinse and Huasan out of the inn.
When King Shou'an saw her leave the inn, he followed her.
In fact, Hua Lan wanted to buy a big mansion in Longyang City so that she could settle down with peonies.
It is getting closer and closer to Kunlun Mountain, although there are rocky clouds along the way, but Kunlun Mountain is thrilling after all, and it is more inconvenient to bring peony.
King Shou'an followed aside, she didn't know what to say, and told Hua San to inquire about the surrounding areas, if there were any mansions for sale.
Hua Sansheng was not familiar with the place, but he was very smart, found a few shop guys in the surrounding area, gave silver, and soon inquired about several mansions for sale.
He looked at a few first, found a mansion full of luxury, and then came back to report to Hua Lan.
