Meng Zhiyuan seemed to have seen a lot of battles like this, and in a few words, he euphemistically pushed the noble ladies to Xiao Er, and then led Fang Ling and the others to the inner room.

Fang Ling glanced at the inner room a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, it seems that you are also quite liked by these ladies." ”

Meng Zhiyuan's face flushed, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "I didn't make fun of you, Brother Meng, you have also reached the age of marriage, this Acropolis County is also my hometown, if you fancy any famous lady, this king will go to propose to you." ”

Song Ying'er sneered when she heard this: "Your Highness, if you say this, Brother Meng is afraid that he will hide from those women in the future." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Meng Zhiyuan was the best eloquent among the officials, and he was also exquisite, how could he take advantage of him on weekdays, and now when he saw him with an embarrassed face, he couldn't help but make fun of him.

When the laughter calmed down, Fang Ling also flipped through the account book he handed over, and praised his head: "This silk village has only been open for less than three months, and the business is quite good. ”

Meng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, the silk produced in Fengxian County is a very high-quality commodity here, if it is not in His Highness's fiefdom, it will definitely be able to become a tribute." ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly, the soil of Feng County was originally not suitable for planting soil, but later Chen Mou gathered many people who were proficient in agriculture to study, and improved the soil, and the result was an excellent mulberry tree, from which the northern silkworm raised by this mulberry tree spits more silk than ordinary silkworms, and then the quality of silk woven by special technology is very high.

In addition, these people also crossed silkworm seeds from all over the country to breed a kind of golden silk Yao silkworm, the silk produced is like gold, and it has been frantically snapped up by the upper class society in various parts of the Chu State, and almost all the industries in the four counties have opened stores in other counties, and the operation of these shops not only makes a lot of money, but also serves as a network for information circulation.

Tianjin Silk Village was opened by Fang Ling's order, so the silk sold is naturally incomparable to other stores in terms of cost performance, and in just three months, the total income has reached tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this is still in its infancy.

Meng Zhiyuan continued: "The minister also specially purchased a large number of high-grade tea leaves from the north for those who have good tea to taste on the second floor, and at the same time set up a secret passage to listen to all kinds of information at any time. ”

Fang Ling bowed slightly, and asked, "Did you find any information about my grandfather and his family?"

Meng Zhiyuan shook his head slightly and said, "The minister is ashamed, there has been no progress in the past three months. ”

Fang Ling didn't have a disappointed expression, after nineteen years, how could he find the clues that should be found all at once, he said lightly: "Then tell me what you know." ”

Meng Zhiyuan said: "His Royal Highness's grandfather, that is, Rongguo Gong, was originally a merchant in the county, and there were only a dozen people in the family. Later, after Niangniang was named a concubine, the emperor aimed to build the Rongguo Mansion in the south of the city, and also hired more than a dozen subordinates. Nineteen years ago, because Niangniang was involved in a rebellion case, the emperor was furious and ordered to raid her home. However, the night before the order arrived in the county, a fire broke out in the Rongguo Mansion, but bizarrely, after the fire was extinguished, no bodies were found in the mansion, and according to the locals, the night before, the Rongguo Gong dismissed all his subordinates. ”
