294. Parting

Mulan Pavilion, the name is changed after Wanwan lived in, the location is east, built near the water, there is a small bridge leading to the outside of the park, there is also a small wharf, convenient for traffic.

Nowadays, Wanwan takes care of many industries, has a lot of affairs, needs to go in and out frequently, and has a lot of paperwork and account books.

This is actually a large semi-independent courtyard, and there are many side rooms in the courtyard.

The Yuewan Tea Shop in Tongli Town had been stopped before, and the twelve little ladies followed Wanwan, helping to do things and studying, and they all lived here.

Outside the north wall of the courtyard, there is also a row of side rooms, and a martial arts arena is also opened up in front of the wing rooms, where twenty-four young men live, that is, those small guys in the original tea shop.

I usually asked Mr. to teach them to read, and as for the martial arts military formation or something, they already have a foundation, and the Praetorian Guard can also teach them some.

When Wanwan went out, they were responsible for safety, although they were a little ostentatious, but it was necessary, and no one dared to gossip.

Don't look at their young age, but ordinary thirty or fifty men may not be their opponents, Zhao Mengqi specially equipped them with standard armor, and officially included in the establishment of the Eastern Guard, and gave them the number of "Spy Company", so that no one can find fault with public and private, even Wu Qian only muttered two sentences, and then turned a blind eye.

Zhao Mengqi walked into the courtyard alone and came to a three-story attic, Yun Niang and a few little girls were basking in the sun and reading in front of the door, all of them were very attentive, and they didn't even notice that Zhao Mengqi was coming.

"Don't read in direct sunlight, it's not good for your eyes." Zhao Mengqi reminded loudly.

Yun Niang and the others heard the sound and hurriedly got up to salute, but there was no sense of restraint.

"Your Highness, you're here, it just so happens that the slave has a problem that I don't know how to solve, and it's not good to disturb the lady, can you tell me about it?"

Yun Niang wrinkled her nose and seemed to be distressed for a long time.

Zhao Mengqi was amused by her like this, and took the book in her hand.

The book is not thick, more than 100 pages, and the cover reads the first volume of new elementary mathematics.

This was written by Zhao Mengqi with a group of scholars who were proficient in mathematics by using the knowledge of elementary mathematics that had not been completely lost by himself, combined with the existing arithmetic books at this time.

It's not perfect, and for the time being, there is only the first volume, which is intended to be used as teaching materials in Mongolian studies and the army, and the numbers and symbols are directly applied to later generations, and punctuation is added, and horizontal versions are used.

It's not that some changes can't be made, it's just that Zhao Mengqi takes care of his habits and gives full play to the doctrine of taking it.

What's more, the Song people were still relatively tolerant of cultural knowledge, and there was no statement that they absolutely did not accept the products of foreign civilizations.

"It's fifty-six pages, question two." Yun Niang tiptoed and pointed.

Zhao Mengqi flipped to the number of pages, "Question, there are two armies A and B that are 240 miles apart, and they set off at the same time and move in the opposite direction, A is cavalry, and the speed is 40 miles per hour, and B is infantry, and the speed is 20 miles per hour, how long will it take to meet?"

The solution is simple, but the idea is to teach, "...... That is, the two armies complete this distance together, so the speed of the two can be added, and then the distance can be divided by the speed after the addition......

Zhao Mengqi spoke patiently, and several little ladies listened very carefully and nodded frequently.

After finally understanding, Yun Niang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "It's so simple, slaves are so stupid......

Zhao Mengqi smiled and comforted, "No one is born stupid, as long as you have patience and learn modestly, you will always improve......

After the addiction of being a teacher, I slowly walked into the attic.

Wanwan's living and office are on the second floor, and after Zhao Mengqi walked into her study, he saw her sitting at the desk looking through the account books, dialing the plan plate, and recording calculations on paper from time to time.

It is said that men who work hard are very attractive, but in fact, women are the same, at least Zhao Mengqi thinks that Wanwan at this time is particularly good-looking.

After standing for a while, Zhao Mengqi coughed lightly.

Wanwan turned back sideways and smiled, "You're here, wait for me in a while, and finish this account."

"Yes." Zhao Mengqi nodded.

Wanwan fell into a working state again, and Zhao Mengqi also picked up a document casually.

At first glance, it is a monthly report of a logistics company, so I look through it carefully.

The logistics company is managed by Tian Chengguang, who was originally responsible for the logistics of the Fenghua Army, and now the logistics business has just started, and it is not complicated, and the operation of the charter is also improved and adjusted on the basis of the military system, so Tian Chengguang is not very difficult to manage.

In the three months since its establishment, the logistics company has more than 1,000 people up and down, more than 80 large and small ships, and has established warehouse outlets in various counties of Pingjiang Prefecture, and the main undertaking is the public and private passenger and freight transportation from Pingjiang Prefecture to Lin'an.

Although it is far from profit, the response is not bad, especially for passenger transport, the cabin that has been renovated has been very popular with the gentry, and the use of regular departures, as far as possible to arrive on a regular basis, so that many people reduce the trouble of finding a ship temporarily.

In terms of freight, thanks to the extraordinary prosperity of Pingjiang City's industry and commerce, it has also developed well, at least with Lin'an, this line can definitely make a lot of money.

Zhao Mengqi's guidance to the logistics company is to strive to cover all states and counties in the two Zhejiang regions within one year, radiate to important state cities in the country within two years, and set up outlets and open routes in most of the states and counties that can be reached by waterway within five years.

It seems quite difficult, but as far as the actual territory of the Great Song Dynasty is concerned, it is more than 2,000 miles to the farthest Sichuan and Liangguang, one by the Yangtze River and the other by sea, it is still possible to achieve it. z.br>

After reading it, Zhao Mengqi is still quite satisfied with the current business situation and development trend of the logistics company, which is naturally indispensable to Wanwan's efforts.

Put down the monthly report, and inadvertently looked at Wanwan again, and saw that there was a thick pottery tea jar on her case, which was really a jar compared to the Song people's daily tea cup, which could hold a pound of water.

Zhao Mengqi smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that people who were extremely particular about the tea ceremony in the past would now drink tea so "rudely".

Moving forward, he touched the teapot, and found that the teapot was already cold, so he took it and poured out the cold water and tea leaves inside.

Then I changed the tea leaves and poured water with a kettle.

Don't be surprised, it's really a hot water kettle, and it's not Zhao Mengqi's "invention", but something that the Song people accidentally discovered more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, a scholar named Zhang Yuqing accidentally got a black ancient pottery bottle, at first he took it and put it indoors, poured water to make a vase, and in winter, in order to prevent the water from freezing and damaging the bottle, he had to pour out the water before night.

But one day he forgot about it, and when he woke up the next day, he saw that the water in the other utensils was frozen, but the black bottle was still the normal water.

Surprised, Zhang Yuqing poured hot water into it and tried it, and found that it could indeed keep the water temperature for a long time.

From then on, he regarded this bottle as a treasure, and took it with him when he went out with friends, and poured boiling water when he used it, so that others would know the secret.

Then one day, his servant got drunk and accidentally broke the bottle, only to find that the bottle was double-layered and hollow.

After the news got out, it was written into a book, and someone tried to make it according to the description, and found that although it was not as good as the legendary effect, it did have a decent thermal insulation effect.

This thing, it's very troublesome to fire, useful but not cost-effective, not many people use it, and then some people have made improvements, the bottle body is still hollow double-layered, and a metal chassis is added at the bottom, and charcoal is put inside, and there are more people who use it.

Most of the buildings in the Song Dynasty were made of wood, and in order to prevent fire, places such as study rooms to store books and documents were strictly forbidden to fireworks, so Wanwan used the former.

It should be that the filling is not too long, the water temperature is OK, there are still more than 80 degrees, and there is no problem at all to make loose tea.

Zhao Mengqi put the hot tea on the table, and it happened that Wanwan had finished his work, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile and pick up the tea jar, his hands were warm, his smile was also warm, and his heart was even warmer.

"I kind of regret it." Zhao Mengqi was a little annoyed.

Wanwan was slightly stunned, and an unknown reason appeared in Peach Blossom's eyes, "What?"

This blank look is rare on Wanwan's face, there is a different kind of cuteness, Zhao Mengqi can't bear it

Scratching her fingers on her nose.

"I mean, I regret putting so many things on you, keeping you busy all day long, without a moment of leisure, otherwise, you can be as carefree and happy as the two of them."

"Huh? Is that all?" Wanwan glanced at Zhao Mengqi with fake disgust, "The happiness of people is not the same, I feel very happy to have something to do every day."

Zhao Mengqi smiled helplessly, "You, you were born to work hard......

In fact, he also understands in his heart that Wanwan works so hard, firstly, her character is indeed like this, and secondly, it is probably also the sense of responsibility to Fenghuajun.

In the past, she couldn't find a better way, but even if she showed her face, even if she was ashamed of others, she tried her best to make money, just so that those orphans could have an extra bite to eat.

You must know that she is actually a descendant of a family, and she is extremely proud in her bones, but for this responsibility, she is willing to let go of her pride and self-esteem.

What's wrong with such a twist?

I can't figure out why Zhao Mengqi likes her, and in some people's mouths, she is inferior?

What Zhao Mengqi didn't expect was that even after more than 800 years, there were still such people who could catch this wild spray.

Perhaps, even if Zhao Mengqi knew about it, he would just smile, anyway, he never considered himself a noble person, and he didn't disdain to be the so-called high-level person in those mouths.

"Aren't you the same yourself? Don't you want to see what it's all black now?" Wanwan smiled with disgust.

Zhao Mengqi touched his face, and then shrugged, "It seems that we are a natural couple, and the mourning couple is miserable."

Wanwan raised her hand and slapped it on the back of Zhao Mengqi's hand, "What nonsense, the favor is not enough to respect me, and the humility is not enough to humble oneself."

"Haha, that's right, those who are not as proud as others will be shallow, and those who are suspicious will be villains."

Zhao Mengqi laughed heartily, although the conversation between the two was very inexplicable.

The two looked at each other silently, and after a while, Wanwan seemed to see something, "What's wrong? But what news is coming from Lin'an? Is the official family going to marry you?"

Wanwan's mind is really sensitive, even if Zhao Mengqi's face did not show any clues, she still noticed it.

"I can't hide anything from you." Zhao Mengqi smiled bitterly and touched his nose, "Actually, it's not necessarily, maybe it's just my guess, but even so, you don't worry too much, as I said, my life is up to me."

Zhao Mengqi actually didn't intend to hide it, because if this kind of thing really happened, it would definitely not be a secret, and it would soon reach her ears.

He didn't worry about anything else, but he was afraid that Wanwan would be cranky when he found out, so he thought about getting vaccinated first, but he didn't know how to open his mouth yet, and she broke it with a word.

Wanwan's expression was very indifferent, if she ignored her slightly fluttering eyelashes, "Isn't it sooner or later? You are the only royal seedling, and it is hoped that you will give birth to an heir as soon as possible."

"Then you are wrong, half a month ago, Yan Zhaoyi, no, it will be time to change her words Yan Guifei in a few days, she successfully gave birth to a dragon son, six catties and six taels, I heard that she is very healthy, but it is still kept secret for the time being, and the world will be announced when the moon is full, that is to say, I have a younger brother, a seventh brother......

According to the habits of the Song people, children are generally ranked separately, but Zhao Mengqi is willful and likes to use his own habits.

"Is it really a son!?" Wanwan was surprised, and a layer of worry was cast between her eyebrows, "In that case, you can't be willful, don't annoy the official family when you do things in the future......

Zhao Mengqi knew what she was worried about, and deliberately smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, the troubles that can be avoided will naturally try to be avoided, until one day, no one can shake me in the slightest, but I'm a little worried about you, with your mind, when you hear something bad, you may not do anything stupid, but you will definitely be sad in your heart."

"What I want to say to you today is still the same thing, no matter what happens, what turmoil, please believe me!"

When he said this, Zhao Mengqi deliberately held her face, and after speaking, while she was still stunned, he printed her lips domineeringly.

How deep is the love?

Cang Tian may know, but he is silent.

After a long time, the lips parted, and the man and woman breathed heavily, as if they were fish that had been dying of thirst.

After the two of them calmed down, Zhao Mengqi said, "This time I will return to Lin'an, I will probably stay for a long time, there is Wu Gong here in Pingjiang Mansion, I have nothing to worry about, you take care of the industry, I am also very relieved, I just hope that you don't work too hard, you can share the things that go out, just try to share it, you just do a good job, and you must be cautious when traveling, there are always some vicious people in this world, hiding in the shadows like poisonous snakes, you must not give them a chance, this brand is for you, summon people at any time if there is something, Dongwei is good, Whether it's Ma Xingsi, or the palace front division who stays, they can all be trusted, and I have also explained to them, you don't have to worry about any bad effects, I will carry the sky when it falls, as long as you are well, everything is fine, understand?"

Zhao Mengqi was verbose, but Wanwan was silent, just looking at him and laughing.
