Chapter 314: The Finale (I)
The county lord of Mingyue was as graceful as ever, and the two took a face-to-face, Liu Man'er knew that she was here to find Ye Yuan, so she took the initiative to avoid it, anyway, she was not worried about what would happen to them.
After she left, Liu Man'er casually asked Ye Yuan about her intention, it turned out that she was going to the frontier again.
To tell the truth, as the younger sister of the current emperor, if it is a reward for meritorious deeds, she is already the eldest princess, but I heard that because of something that angered the king of Dingbei, so the great life about her has not been issued for a long time, and she still bears the name of the lord of Mingyue County given to her by the emperor.
Liu Man'er once asked casually, and Ye Yuan told her that it was because she refused to marry that King Dingbei felt that she brushed his face, so he treated her like this.
This made Liu Man'er feel a little embarrassed, as her potential rival, in fact, she has always admired her, if you really count it, she feels that she is not as good as the Lord of Mingyue.
The Lord of the Bright Moon has always been like the bright moon in the sky, beautiful and clean.
It's just that no matter how bright the moon is, there is no light after all, relying on the reflection of the sun, compared to this, Liu Man'er is willing to be an inconspicuous star in this vast sea of stars, even if the light emitted is small, it is also emitted by herself.
Just sent away the county lord of Mingyue, and ushered in Li Han, Lou Ye and others, today, some new and old acquaintances in Beijing have come to visit, Liu Man'er then remembered that today is not only the day of her confinement, but also her son's full moon.
According to the custom, it is necessary to make a full moon wine, but Liu Man'er saw that Ye Yuan did not have Zhang Luo, so she forgot about this stubble, but although they did not make wine, the guests who came did not forget, not only that, most of them brought gifts.
"We've made a lot of money now." Liu Man'er saw the room full of gifts, and said with a smile: "If these people know that you will resign soon, I don't know if they are reluctant to give you such a good gift." ”
Ye Yuan only laughed when he heard this, and said, "I didn't invite them, they all came by themselves, and they delayed my work for half a day, so these gifts should be reparated." ”
"Tsk, that's a big deal." When Liu Man'er heard this, she also laughed, these gifts are very valuable things, all kinds of jade, luminous cups, thousand-year-old ginseng and other things, Liu Man'er feels that she has worked hard for so many years, it is better to receive a gift from the full moon.
Although the two of them looked at these things with their eyes shining, in fact, the next day, Liu Man'er asked people to return all the things sent by others.
No merit, if she really wants these things in the future, she will naturally rely on her own efforts to get them, she will not compromise because of some gifts, and she does not want to cause trouble to Ye Yuan.
Out of confinement, in addition to taking care of her children, Liu Man'er is serious about taking care of her own shop, and now the correspondence is also convenient, she corresponds with her family from time to time, and also discusses some business matters with Liu Yunsheng and others, and even Steward Wu and Han Shixin also came to the capital in person, and several people met in private.
Liu Man'er has never talked about Ye Yuan's identity with Han Shixin and the others, that is, she saw them, and she only said that she was developing in the capital during this time, just some time ago, she collected some talents who wrote scripts, and this time she took this opportunity to let Han Shixin and others all bring back.
These people originally came to the capital to make more money and be appreciated by others, but now that they have this opportunity, they naturally obediently follow Han Shixin and leave.
If Liu Man'er says that the fastest growing industry under Liu Man'er is still this printing workshop, although Liu Man'er is not in charge of the printing workshop, but the Korean-style new Zhan is very good at taking care of her printing workshop.
Originally, all the things she used were mechanized, but in this way, no one could catch up.
Han Shixin listened to Yuan Yulin's idea, set up a special research and development center in the printing workshop, and invited a large number of skilled old printers to come, so that they could help with color adjustment and engraving.
The last time Liu Man'er corresponded with them, she told him the concept of the three primary colors, and now they are working on the design, which makes Liu Man'er very satisfied.
The printing press has always been the most profitable industry, and now this industry is still expanding, which is not gratifying, I heard that some booksellers nowadays, do not come in person, just write a letter, send the contract, let the people in the printing house send it, so that they do not delay their affairs, very convenient.
After so half a year, the post office station set up by Liu Man'er has begun to bear fruit, although some remote mountainous areas are not yet able to deliver, but it has been like logistics, which can bring convenience to some businessmen.
It's just that Han Shixin is also a little worried, he said that they help to transport goods on the way, often meet some people who rob the house, Liu Man'er is also very worried after hearing it, she has a deep understanding along the way, and hurriedly asked Han Shixin: "Are there casualties and losses?" ”
"At first, there were, and then we hired a dart board every time we helped deliver something, but in this way, we basically didn't make any money." A new Korean answer.
Liu Man'er nodded and said, "This is indeed a big problem, our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we also need some of our own escorts." ”
"Yes, but these heroes are all good and bad, and we have hired some people, but it is still far from enough."
"I'll talk about this later, take your time." Liu Man'er smiled and said, "Uncle Han, you have worked hard for the time being, and when I go back, I will let someone take charge of this matter." ”
"Then I'll be relieved." The new Korean-style general Liu Man'er looked like he had a plan, so he didn't say much.
Liu Man'er exchanged a few more words with Steward Wu and left.
Han Shixin and Steward Wu came over this time, one is to come to the capital to have a look, and the other is that they want to buy some new shops around the capital to develop, and they are now also in charge of dozens of shops, Liu Man'er is not worried about them at all.
As for Ye Yuan, he has been helping the new emperor train during this time, and he is in charge of the three thousand Praetorian Guards in the capital and the soldiers defending the city, so he is also very busy every day, but he told Liu Man'er that he is cultivating Li Han during this time, and when Li Han can take the lead, he can also retire.
Liu Man'er once asked him what he should do after he stepped back, he didn't answer at the time, thinking that he didn't have a plan in his heart, but after listening to the new words of Korean style today, Liu Man'er thought of a new way.
She wanted Ye Yuan to be in charge of logistics, in ancient words, it was a dart game.
Time passed day by day, spring went to autumn, obviously yesterday was still green leaves, and in the blink of an eye, it was a falling tree.
Ye Yuan has asked the new emperor to resign several times, and the new emperor can't resist him, only saying that he should choose a successor for him and let him leave, Ye Yuan has already cultivated Li Han, and now he only recommends it to the new emperor, the new emperor has tears in his eyes, and after showing the righteousness of the monarch and minister, he also agreed.
In the court, the new emperor showed several reluctances, personally told the courtiers about Ye Yuan's exploits, from the Yan Wangfu when the emperor was alive to the present, talking about the two when they were young, talking about the two of them being brothers and sisters, intimate, and even crying in public a few times, which makes people sigh how benevolent and righteous he is.
After the next dynasty, the new emperor also set up a celebration banquet for Ye Yuan, and set up a send-off wine, after the wine, the two of them said a confidant again, at this time, he finally remembered the son he had been raising in the Ye family.
He asked Ye Yuan to help him raise him for another three years, and when the inside and outside were completely stable, he would pick up Ye Tianchen back, and Ye Yuan also nodded and agreed.
After returning home, Ye Yuan was full of lightness, Liu Man'er heard the voice and went to greet him outside the door, and when she saw him like this, she also pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "What good things happened today?" ”
"How do you know?" I thought I could surprise her, but she actually saw the clinker.
"In the past, you were always sad, but today you are full of energy, and there must be a good thing." Liu Man'er smiled.
"I successfully resigned today, and we can go back in a few days." Ye Yuan is not like her.
"Really?" Suddenly hearing him say this, Liu Man'er was also happy to tighten, and hurriedly said, "Then when will we go back?" ”
"I'll be gone next month." Ye Yuan said: "Let's go back all the way, just like the mountains and rivers, just in time to go back before the Chinese New Year." ”
"I'm for it." Liu Man'er nodded after hearing this, took his arm and walked to the house together, and after sitting in the house, she personally made him tea, and then said: "I asked you what you wanted to do before, and you said that you didn't think about it, and now, we are about to go home, what do you think in your heart?" ”
"I know that you are very good at business, and I will not be able to rely on you alone to support you in the future, in fact, I have already had an idea in my heart, and it just so happens that many retired veterans have also come to me, so I thought that I would take these veterans to set up a caravan in the future."
Ye Yuan saw Liu Man'er asking, and said to her very seriously: "You see, our tea and citrus in the south are cheap, but when they are sold in the north, the price will more than double, and some of the furs that are abundant in the north are sold in the south, and the price is very expensive, so I want to set up a caravan to specialize in the trading of merchants from the north and the south." ”
Seeing that Liu Man'er was listening carefully, he reached out and scratched her head again, and said, "Maybe in the future, I will need more help from Boss Liu." ”
"I didn't expect you to have an idea, actually, I want to open a dart game when the time comes." Liu Man'er said: "Because of the post office I have now, many people ask us to help deliver things, but you know, there are always many hardships and dangers along the way, so I want you to set up a dart bureau to escort things to my post office." ”
