At the end of December, Dapan Fort.

A few days after Liu Yan reached an agreement with Song Gongming and Wang Weizhen, several people from the Ancient Town Inspection Department came.

In the general flag hall in the fort, Liu Yan looked at a young man in his twenties and was a little surprised. The young man called himself Song Guan and was another nephew of Song Gongming.

Liu Yan looked at Song Guan and saw that this person was completely different from Song Long, he did not give people the feeling of arrogance and domineering, but had a sense of politeness, and his manners and conversation also made people feel very comfortable, which showed that this person's eyes were in place.

"Song Xiaoqi?"

"Let Liu Zongqi smile, he is just a small flag officer of the Guzhen Inspection Department, and this time he came here to send a person to Liu Zongqi on the order of Song Inspection."

Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be Zhao Maqun?" ”

"Mr. Liu's banner is Mingjian, it is Zhao Maqun."

Liu Yan asked: "Then I don't understand, what does Song Patrol mean?" ”

Song Guan Zhengse said: "When I came down, Song Patrol once said to me: The misunderstanding between the ancient town and Dapanbao was caused by scum like Zhao Maqun, so in order to show the attitude of my ancient town inspection department, I will send Zhao Maqun over and hand it over to Liu Zongqi. ”

Liu Yan smiled in his heart, today's incident seems to be Song Gongming giving him a lot of face, but in fact, he is just throwing away an outcast, and he wants to use his own hands to get rid of Zhao Maqun and wipe his ass with Song Gongming.

However, Liu Yan didn't care, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, then I will take the intention of Song Inspection." ”

Song Guan said with a smile: "Okay, Zhao Maqun is in the carriage outside the General Banner Official Hall, please ask Liu Zongqi to go and check." Once I'm done with it, I'll be able to go back to my life. ”

Liu Yan nodded, and then ordered someone to call Miao Shao, the little flag official, and asked Miao Shao to go outside and bring Zhao Maqun in.

A moment later, Miao Shao took two dun soldiers to escort Zhao Maqun to the courtyard, Liu Yan and Song Guan walked out of the main hall, only to see Zhao Maqun limping over, when he saw Liu Yan and Song Guan, his face suddenly changed greatly, he turned around and was about to run, but he was directly kicked by Miao Shao on the injured leg, and fell to the ground screaming.

"Song Guan! You actually lied to me, the inspector didn't want to send me out of refuge at all, you are all lying to me! ”

Song Guan sneered and did not speak, but looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was indeed a little surprised, and he also had an intuitive understanding of Song Gongming's methods, this person can, the ability to set up traps and deceive people will come as soon as he reaches out, and he will have to pay attention to it in the future.

At this time, Liu Yan was not in the mood to say anything to such a dog-legged person as Zhao Maqun, and nodded at Miao Shao, only to see that Miao Shao immediately pulled out his waist knife and walked towards Zhao Maqun.

"Huh? Don't, I, I surrendered, begging Liu Zongqi to let me ......"

Before Zhao Maqun finished speaking, Miao Shao cut down impatiently, and cut off Zhao Maqun's head with a knife in front of Song Guan.

Song Guan looked at the bloody scene, and his originally calm expression instantly turned into horror. Song Guan originally expected that Liu Yan would definitely kill Zhao Maqun, but he never imagined that Liu Yan would kill Zhao Maqun in front of him, which was obviously giving himself and the Guzhen Inspection Department a solid dismount!

But even so, what can Song Guan do?

Liu Yan looked at Song Guan, who was stunned in place, trembling slightly, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "We are all rough people, once we get angry, it is easy to cause death, and I hope Song Xiaoqi will not be surprised." ”

Song Guan looked at Liu Yan with wide eyes, and opened his mouth for a long time before saying, "Okay, easy to say, Liu Zongqi is polite." ”

Later, Liu Yan wanted to leave Song Guan to eat in the General Flag Office, but at this time, Song Guan still had the heart to eat, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Yan, and immediately left Dapanbao and went back to resume his life.

"Clean up this place."

After sending Song Guan away, Liu Yan saw the corpse of Zhao Maqun in the courtyard, frowned slightly and said to Miao Shao: "There is no need for a coffin, just find a mass grave and lose it." ”

Miao Shao said: "Okay, don't worry, I'll take someone to do it tonight." ”

After speaking, Miao Shao beckoned several dun soldiers to come over, first carried Zhao Maqun's body down, and then brought several large buckets of water, washed the yard, and washed away the bloodstains.

In the following days, Liu Yan has been inspecting the soap workshop, the salt drying factory, and the wine factory.

With the joint distribution of Wang Weizhen and Song Gongming, these three best-selling goods in Dapanbao will no longer worry about sales. Wang Weizhen and Song Gongming each bear 20% of the sales part, the two of them are 40%, and the remaining 60% Liu Yan will find a way to sell it by himself.

A few days later, Liu Yan summoned Chen Jiang, Wang Yunhe, and Chu Yunfei to the General Flag Office, ready to discuss the distribution with the three.

"Now the output of soap workshops, wine workshops, and salt drying factories is very considerable, in addition to the share borne by Wang Weizhen and Song Gongming, the remaining sixty percent of the output has to be sold by ourselves, this pressure is still not small, after all, if we can't sell it, we won't be able to make silver, do the three of them have any specific ideas?"

Although Liu Yan said so, Wang Yunhe, Chen Jiang, and Chu Yunfei were not worried at all, they were all relaxed at this time, and they couldn't see any pressure.

The relationship between Wang Yunhe and Liu Yan is basically public, so there is a future housewife sitting here, and Chen Jiang's and Chu Yunfei both humbly let Wang Yunhe say it first, which can be regarded as setting the tone.

Wang Yunhe said: "Now we have four pots in the winery, which can make more than 16,000 catties of pot wine every month, and the pot wine that we need to sell ourselves is about 10,000 catties." This amount seems to be a lot, but now our pot wine has become famous through the merchants of the Guzhen Inspection Division, and it has become famous everywhere in the Qianqian Household Office of Xiahe Village, and 10,000 catties of pot wine is not enough for those merchants. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yunhe smiled playfully and said: "So the problem of the distillery now is not how to sell the soju, but how to expand the production as soon as possible and make more money!" ”

Chen Jiang's and Chu Yunfei immediately praised again and again, saying that Wang Yunhe had a good business.

Liu Yan praised Wang Yunhe with a smile, and then Chen Jiang said: "Qiqi Jiachang, the output of our soap workshop is also a little insufficient at present, and with the current output of more than 7,000 yuan a month, it is not enough at all. Almost every month, a lot of businessmen come to our Dapanbao to buy, and even someone stuffs me with silver, but I am bombarded out, but I am scared to death! ”

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Next time someone stuffs silver for your younger siblings, you can accept it, and then take it out and invite us to eat meat and drink wine, how about it?" ”

Chen Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chief A laughed, I don't want to do this greedy thing, it's too scary!" ”

After Liu Yan joked, he asked: "In this case, the current problem of the soap workshop is not to sell, but to increase production." ”

"Exactly."

In the end, Liu Yan looked at Chu Yunfei and asked with a smile: "If I guess correctly, the situation in the salt field is similar, right?" ”

Chu Yunfei stood up respectfully and saluted, and said: "Chief A Mingjian, his subordinates took over the salt drying field from Zhang Xiaoqi, and now they are familiar with the situation, and it is indeed as Chief A said. ”

"Now there are four salt drying ponds in the salt drying field, and the monthly output of sea salt is 8,000 catties, but it is still not enough for the needs of the smugglers everywhere. It's just that the weather is too cold now, and it won't be implemented until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest. ”

After listening to the report of the three of them, Liu Yan nodded and pondered for a while, and then said: "From tomorrow, the three of them will start to formulate a plan to increase production, and after handing it over to me, you can take my approval to Director Zhao to receive the silver." Soap, roasted pot wine, and sea salt are the current financial resources of our Dapanbao, and the output is naturally as much as possible. ”

"And I think the sales direction of these three goods cannot be limited to the front of the thousand households in Xiahezhai, and we must go out."

"You can have more contact with businessmen everywhere, and gradually let our goods spread to all parts of Lingshanwei, even Jiaozhou, Gaomi and other places......"

Two days later, Liu Yan successively received a plan to increase production from Chen Jiang, Chu Yunfei and Wang Yunhe.

When Chu Yunfei came to send the production increase plan, he also specially asked Liu Yan, hoping to turn his more than 70 salt dings into military households, Liu Yan smiled and comforted Chu Yunfei a few words, and then said that he was going to reorganize the salt dings and integrate all the more than 70 people into the dun army.

Chu Yun naturally raised his hands in approval, and Liu Yan directly absorbed his old team without screening, which was his trust in himself, and he and his old subordinates were regarded as Dapanbao's cronies.

So Chu Yunfei thanked him again and again, patted his chest and promised to run the salt drying field well, in order to repay Liu Yan's kindness.

When Wang Yunhe came over to deliver the production increase plan, Liu Yan said with a smile: "I think you will take care of the affairs of the winery in the past few days, and then I will send someone to send you back to Wangjiazhuang." ”

Wang Yunhe was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Liu Yan pretended to be mysterious and said: "I need you to go back to Wanfu Oil Mill to live for a few days, and in a few days, I will bring a wild goose and some belongings over." ”

Wang Yunhe blushed suddenly, lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice: "You, you, are you going to propose marriage?" ”

Liu Yan looked at Wang Yunhe's appearance, and a ripple suddenly appeared in his heart, and then said in a very serious tone: "Yunhe, I'm going to find your father to propose marriage, I'll take someone to the dowry in a few days, you go back and wait for me!" ”

Wang Yunhe raised his head, nodded with tears in his eyes, and then laughed happily.

A few days later, Liu Yan came to Wangjiazhuang Wanfu Oil Mill with a dowry, Wang Jing was already waiting at the door, and invited Liu Yan and his party in with a smile.

Seeing this, the surrounding pedestrians came to congratulate one after another, Wang Jing laughed and returned the salute one by one, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

On the same day, Liu Yan and Wang Yunhe's wedding date was set for April next year, Wang Yunhe was almost suffocated with joy, and Wang Jing also prepared a banquet that night, preparing to leave Liu Yan to celebrate a little in Wanfu Oil Mill, but he was approached by Jia Hongyu, the chief flag officer.

"Mr. Liu, you are really here!"

Looking at Jia Hongyu, who came uninvited, Liu Yan was also slightly stunned, and said, "Brother Jia, is there something?" ”

Jia Hongyu first confessed to Wang Jing, and Wang Jing found an excuse to go out very interestingly, leaving only Liu Yan and Jia Hongyu in the house.

Then Jia Hongyu said to Liu Yan: "The master of the management team asked me to invite you, now the captains of the fire road piers and tunbao everywhere are on the way to come, and you are the only one who I invited." ”

Liu Yan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Hongyu first sighed, and then said: "Early this morning, the Tangbao report of the Shandong Beiwei Capital Division arrived in Wangjiazhuang: Now a locust plague has broken out in various parts of Shandong, involving many prefectures and counties, and there are many people who have become displaced people in various places. ”

"So the master of the management team asked everyone to gather in the Hundred Household Official Hall to prepare for the deployment of strategies to stabilize the place!"
