Qingwu is a Qingqi person specially "borrowed" by Chen Mo from a high-end restaurant, and his talent and appearance are excellent, which Chen Mo uses to attract customers.

But after all, it is a borrowed person, Chen Mo can't always borrow it, but the restaurant can't be without people who attract customers, Chen Mo can't let his woman show up, so he simply ransomed Qingwu from Qinglou.

And listening to the shopkeeper, Qingwu's business ability is also quite strong, and if you train her, you can also let her train newcomers.

"Uh-huh."

After what happened just now, Ning Yun's words were not much, and her jade cheeks had been slightly flushed.

Chen Mo then talked to Ning Yun about business.

First of all, Fuze hot pot restaurant must be opened in a county with more than 5,000 people, if it is less than this number, it will not make money.

Chen Mo is now in charge of the three prefectures of Qing, Yu and Lin, and knows the household registration of each county well, and Yuzhou can open more than 20 people.

Early February.

The second Fuze hot pot restaurant opened in Jiaping County, in order to build momentum for the restaurant, Chen Mo specially sent a team of people, wearing festive clothes, walking on several main roads in Jiaping County, each holding a sign, which said that the Fuze hot pot restaurant opened, and new customers entered the store to consume the general card, and how much to rush.

On the same day, the county magistrate of Jiaping County attended the ribbon-cutting of the Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant and stood for the restaurant.

With its excellent taste, novel way of eating, and the restaurant's way of attracting customers, the second Fuze hot pot restaurant is once again popular in the city.

A day later.

In Longmen County, Chen Mo listened to the report of his subordinates about the Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant in Jiaping County, and secretly thought in his heart that if he opened every restaurant to have this level of popularity, he would have enough money to expand his weapon workshop.

In less than a year, he was able to build a heavy cavalry of 500 men, and all the brave guards were fully armored.

At this moment, Sun Meng came to report that Nangong Jin, the nephew of Nangong Jin, the head of the Nangong family in Sichuan, came to take refuge.

"Nangong family?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, with all due respect, what kind of big family is the Nangong family, and the seven famous families do not have the Nangong family.

He asked Sun Meng if he knew about the Nangong family.

Sun Meng said that he didn't know that the reason why he came to report was because the people who came to vote were gorgeously dressed and talked extraordinary, and when he introduced his background, he looked confident and proud, which made Sun Meng feel that this person had a great background.

Hou Ye was already recruiting, and Sun Meng came to report when he saw this.

After listening to what Sun Meng said, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, in order not to be embarrassed when he saw this person, Chen Mo specially went to Xia Zhiqing and asked what the origin of this Hainan Palace family was.

Xia Zhiqing, as the first talented woman in Qingzhou, is worthy of her reputation, in addition to being eye-catching in poetry and songs, she is also well-informed.

"I don't know much about the Nangong family in Sichuan, but I've heard that the Nangong family started by the sea, because they often go overseas to do business, there are many pirates and thieves on the sea, so they set up a sailor, and then in just a few years, the overseas trade of the Sichuan Sea is almost monopolized, after hundreds of years of development, the wealth accumulated by the family is not under the seven famous families."

Xia Zhiqing told Chen Mo everything she knew.

Hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

Xia Zhiqing saw the light in Chen Mo's eyes, and vaguely guessed something, and said, "Mo Lang, could it be someone from the Nangong family who came?" ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Just now, Captain Sun came to report, and Nangong Wen, the nephew of the head of the Nangong family, came to take refuge. ”

Hearing this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but be happy for Chen Mo: "Mo Lang, you must treat this person well, if my guess is right, Mo Lang, you will soon have a sailor of your own." ”

Xia Zhiqing thinks from the perspective of the family.

Now that Chen Mo occupies the land of Sanzhou, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, he is also a force that should not be underestimated.

The so-called century-old dynasty, thousand-year-old family.

The reason why the family has existed for thousands of years, in addition to its profound heritage, so that the rulers of all dynasties and generations cannot be ignored, there is also a point that the family knows how to bet.

Chen Mo occupies a corner, and it is already worth betting on the family.

And the Nangong family is not a real family, so it is even more necessary to bet on a force with development potential.

Now that the people of the Nangong family have come, they obviously take a fancy to Chen Mo, and the advantages of the Nangong family are exactly what Chen Mo lacks now.

After listening to Xia Zhiqing's analysis, Chen Mo was a little excited and held Xia Zhining's fair and smooth face and took a sip fiercely.

Chen Mo is too short of water masters, and water masters are not like infantry soldiers, there are fewer people with experience in this area, Chen Mo wants to cultivate by himself, it is too difficult.

After all, whether it is entering Linzhou or retreating to Jiangdong in the future, it is necessary for the sailor to play.

Xia Zhiqing's face was slightly red, she raised her eyes to look at the young man's clear face, pursed her pink lips and said in a low voice: "If Mo Lang wants to be foolproof, it's best to ask Sister Liang Xue again, she should know more about this kind of thing than me." ”

Chen Mo nodded, in order not to let Nangong Wen wait for a long time, he turned his foot and went to ask Liang Xue, and learned that the Nangong family had already taken refuge in the Heavenly Master Army, and after the Heavenly Master's military exploits against Fengzhou's main force of the Water Division were the people of the Nangong family, Chen Mo's previous joy was slightly lighter.

However, when I heard Liang Xue mention that it is normal for a big family to bet on both ends, the joy returned to before.

After having a certain understanding, Chen Mo personally met Nangong Wen and gave the other party extremely high respect and hospitality.

After a brief chat, the two hit it off.

Chen Mo needs to establish a water division, the Nangong family needs to seek development, and it is also to find a way back for himself, Chen Mo is the most suitable person, and both parties have their own needs.

For a deeper level of cooperation, Chen Mo even pretended to say something unintentionally during the conversation that he had not yet married a wife.

The implication is that Chen Mo plans to marry a Nangong girl as his wife.

Well, for the sake of the water master, Chen Mo also let go.

But the Nangong family does not have a concubine of the right age, and the Nangong family does not want the Tianshi Army to know about the family's connection with Chen Mo for the time being, if it is to marry a wife, it must not be low-key.

So in order to tie it deeper, Chen Mo needs to accept a collateral daughter of the Nangong family as a concubine, after all, taking a concubine is not so cumbersome, and it can be done simply, or even omit the process, the Nangong family can directly send the collateral daughter to Longmen County.

Chen Mo directly agreed, if he could have one more sailor, he could marry a wife, let alone take a concubine.

After the agreement, Chen Mo began to act, preparing to establish a shipyard in the county seat near the Tianjiang River in Linzhou, build warships, and secretly recruit sailors.

Chen Mo named his sailor Fish Scale Guard, and according to Nangong Wen's experience, it was best to recruit Fish Scale Guard, and it was best to choose a good water character.

In the deep mountains of Yuzhou, trees began to be cut down on a large scale, Yuzhou is mountainous, deep in the mountains and old forests, there are many hundreds of years or even thousands of years of ancient trees, all of which are giant trees that need to be hugged by several people.

After felling, it was transported to Linzhou.

Since it was a refuge, Nangong Wen naturally brought the construction drawings of the warship, rich experience in water warfare, and dozens of old craftsmen who built the warship.

For example, if you want to build a giant warship, the bottom of it is best to use iron power wood and red lux wood, which is soft and water-resistant and long-lasting, and iron power wood is strong, and it is difficult for pests to eat it.

And when Chen Mo was planning to establish a water division.

From mid-March to the end of April, the weather warmed up, and the pace of war quietly spread.

At the beginning of April, the Tianshi army attacked the county again, and the Huai army relied on the fortress built in winter to consume the vitality of the Tianshi army, and then retreated to the territory of Huaizhou, continuing to deep ditches and high bases.

During this period, the land of Hedong and Hexi also set off wars.

Xu Guozhong, who is in Luonan, although he has been messing up the situation again, it does not mean that he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Because he knows that he is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of countless families of King Huai and King Chong, and he can't wait to get rid of him.

If he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and let the Huai King and the others eliminate those forces, they would definitely concentrate their forces on him.

Therefore, when the Tianshi army attacked Qinxian, Xu Guozhong sent Lu Sheng to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to "beg for thieves".

King Chong suffered a surprise attack and was defeated by Lu Sheng several times, so that King Chong was forced to ask King Huai for help.

The fighting intensified, gradually spreading to the southernmost part.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Chen Mena's concubine.

The concubine is a collateral daughter sent by the Nangong family from Chuanhai, named Nangong Ru.

Since it will be sent to draw deep binding, Nangong Ru's figure and appearance are excellent.

Chen Mo was not so pretentious, and he was fortunate to visit Nangong Ru that night.

Seeing Nangong Ru pillow with a big red mandarin duck pillow, a pair of dai smoke eyebrows slightly frowned, as if he was in unbearable pain and sucking cold air, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, Chen Mo stopped the game.

Nangong Ru is chaste, as the night of breaking melons, even if Nangong has martial arts, but after all, he is not a martial artist, and he can't stand Chen Mo's favor.

"Husband, aren't you coming?"

Seeing Chen Mo getting down from her, Nangong Ru endured the pain and turned over and sat up, picked up a white handkerchief that had fallen under him, showed Chen Mo "falling red", and then carefully folded the handkerchief that symbolized chastity.

Then tighten your legs and put a square pillow under your waist to prevent side leakage

The Nangong family has been able to develop to the present, mainly because of the continuous marriage and benefit transfer with the local and surrounding clans in the decades after it started.

Therefore, the women of the Nangong family, even if they are concubines, are destined to be married from the moment she is born, and when they are sensible, the Nangong family will send special people to train these young girls.

Of course, this kind of training of the Nangong family is not to train newcomers in the Qinglou, but to teach these people how to be a good wife or concubine, how to teach husbands and children, and how to serve men, which is not as vulgar as in the Qinglou.

Nangong Ru has naturally been trained and knows how women can get pregnant easily and how to please men.

She raised her eyes and shouted softly outside the room: "Dongmei, Xia Zhu." ”

These are the two personal slaves who accompanied Nangong Ru to marry, and Nangong Ru wanted to ask them to come in and sleep and help him share the burden.
