In the wind and rain, waves hit the lake shore in waves, and the fishing boat docked steadily.
The rain didn't stop, so I hired a ox cart and paid ten taels of silver. I said to the cart driver, "Go to Liumeikou
The ox cart was covered in curtains and was pounding in the rain. The oxen were all wrapped in straw to avoid dampness and cold, and the cart driver was fully dressed in straw. At this moment, he responded, "Young master, sit still
Lifting the rope, the car set off in the rain curtain.
Ye Qing saw the strong wind and rain, but the officialdom was not difficult to carry out. He thought to himself, "It's the Daoist teachings that make the world famous, and there's still a difference between peace and stability in the imperial court
I thought to myself again, "The Dragon Clan is born with the ability to create wind and rain. Although they have been suppressed by the Heavenly Court for millions of years, they still occupy most of the mid-level and lower level wind and rain priests in this world, and control most of the Water Mansion. Their divine power is irreplaceable
The Dragon Clan's list is official, and they have their own heavenly blessings. Ordinary gods can only rely on faith... They can also obtain power from the clouds and rain themselves. In terms of potential energy, they are the first of the Divine Clan
With this ally, I will benefit greatly in the future, "Ye Qing thought.
Arriving at Liumeikou, the raindrops were still crackling. Ye Qing took a look and saw that although it was raining, the shops were still open and the streets were bustling with people.
Due to the rainy and cloudy weather, the distant restaurant and music hall, with lights on, stretched out, making people unable to help but praise, "Fruit is a prosperous place
He ordered to go to He Mao's house again.
The He family is one of the top clans in the local area, half a level higher than the original Ye family. However, there is no clan leader like Ye Mengqiu who is loud and long-lived. Half a year ago, Ye Qing learned from a letter that several elderly people in the family were gradually delegating power to He Mao, who is already thirty years old. This power is much more favorable than Ye Qing's
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the lake was dark and misty, with waterfowl soaring and circling for food. A continuous residential area was in front of me, but I had arrived at He Fu.
Arriving at the door, he handed a post and immediately opened the main entrance. He Mao stood at the forefront to personally greet him and respectfully said, "I have seen Duke Jie Yuan
He Mao was surprised by Ye Qing's visit and warmly welcomed him.
I've seen Brother He Nian! "Ye Qing saluted and entered the living room again. At this moment, it was very dark, and the maid came up, lit the lamp, served tea, and then retreated.
Looking out through the curtain at the pouring rain outside, Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's been a long time. This time I came to Meixi, I really need to trouble you again
He Mao's expression was calm, and his tone was half true and half false: "I was hoping for such trouble. I haven't seen a single letter in six months, and I even said that Duke Jieyuan has gone up in the clouds and forgotten about my old classmate
In order to increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons, Shizi had the intention of traveling with classmates. Many of his close friends were learned through studying abroad when he was young. Ye Qing thought to himself that after being selected for the imperial examination, his affairs would be complicated and he had forgotten to contact them.
I have done a bad job, Brother He, don't call me Jie Yuan Gong, or should I be called Shun'er instead... Well, I went to the Dragon Palace once and immediately turned to see you
I went to the Dragon Palace again? Did I really hire you as my son-in-law? "He Mao was surprised and focused on the young man in front of him. Feng Shen was handsome and had eyes like stars. No wonder Princess Dragon Palace was heartbroken
Ye Qing rhythmically tapped the table with her fingers and smiled, "I didn't get summoned by the Dragon Lord, I just rewarded him with a jade wish
Speaking, he took out Yu Ruyi and showed it to He Mao.
As soon as He Mao saw it, it was Ming Huangyu Ruyi. There is no saying that yellow is precious in this world, but seeing the East Pearl inlaid on it, he couldn't help but tremble and stare straight at it. After a moment, he sighed and said, "This kind of treasure is also given to you. The Dragon Mansion is really close to you
Ye Qing smiled and took back Yu Ruyi, not satisfied with this gossip anymore. He turned to talking about his experiences in the past six months. When he was rushing to take the exam, he encountered Yu Fan personally leading a Jia Shi to rob and kill him. He Mao was furious and said, "We are a talented scholar in the county, and I dare to be upright! Do you really think that this Nan Cang county is run by the Yu family
Ye Qing gave a bitter smile and said, "As a founding father, both the governor and the general have defended me, which is already quite good... If I hadn't obtained Jieyuan in the state city and received protection from Lord Fan and the invigilator, there might have been more disasters, but they have all passed by now
He Mao was even more furious. Imagine robbing and killing scholars just for the sake of ranking at the Dragon Palace banquet, ignoring the red line of the court. If everyone followed suit, wouldn't every scholar in this world be in danger!
At this moment, he calmed down and said with a heavy expression, "This matter will never end like this. Apart from grudges, the Yu family has a monopoly on the Beimang Dark Road, which frequently engages in open trade with the grasslands. Now that Ye Jialie's liquor is widely sold, you have sent a letter saying that the channels of the grassland tribes have been preliminarily opened up, and there may still be some turmoil
I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother He, "Ye Qing smiled and took out a document to show him.
He Mao was taken aback and said, "This is your distillery stock, my dear brother. This is
Brother He knows, so I won't say much. Here are four shares, all of which I own. I am willing to sell them to the He family at a price of 8000 taels per share
He Mao noticed that Ye Qing deliberately used the term "He family", which gave him some insight and inspiration. He shook his head and said, "8000 taels is too cheap. I heard that the market price is 15000 taels. Although my family will benefit and my position will be stable, it is not worth the loss of our affection
Ye Qing secretly praised in her heart, with a sincere expression: "With our friendship, I won't hide it from you. After three years, I will submit this wine making method to the court. Please don't leak this... Brother He still thinks this price is too cheap now
It's still too honest. Even if it's handed over to the court, it's just that we can't monopolize it. But after three years, the climate has become favorable, forming a large liquor industry. Even if we can't monopolize it, we can still account for half of it and make a big profit. Let's just pay 10000 taels and I'll buy you three shares! "He Mao said.
This bargaining is impressive and often leaves people speechless, but it is normal for both parties. What they value is not immediate benefits, but also relationship management and family fortune.
It's a lunar eclipse, so Ye Qing dared to extend her tentacles, go to the Dragon Palace, and come here. These are all considerations, so there's no need to say them now.
Okay, will your family dare to board my chariot
Why dare not! "He Maomei didn't furrow his brows and decided on this big deal. He had always been calm and composed, but he smiled and said," This is not Nancang, not the grassland. Do the private armies of the Yu family dare to enter and leave other counties? Or do they dare to send assassins
Ye Qing laughed. The He family's influence in the county is really not afraid.
He Mao immediately instructed to deliver the silver, sign and seal the documents, and ensure that business is business. In just a moment, someone sent 30000 taels of silver bills, reviewed them one by one, reconciled the accounts, and paid for the shares.
After completing these tasks, Ye Qing took the silver ticket and saw that it was only one hundred and twenty-one. He held it in his arms and smiled, saying, "It's truly worthy of the He family. They can offer thirty thousand silver coins, which many families can offer, but it's just a cup of tea. It's truly admirable
You'll know when you come here. "After finishing his business, He Mao was also delighted. He smiled and pulled Ye Qing up the building. On the fifth floor, he pointed to the lake and said," Look, my He family is on the lake side, with 80 hectares of mulberry forest and eight weaving workshops. The silk they weave is famous throughout the county and even supplies to Kyoto
Look again, this Meixi Pier has thousands of temporary workers, half of whom belong to my family
Ye Qing sighed and said, "With mulberry forests and docks, the He family is indeed wealthy and powerful
Rich, expensive may not be enough. When I can pass the imperial examination, I will be able to support this plate, "He Mao exclaimed, but his heart became sour. He said," If three generations cannot pass the imperial examination, my family may not be able to eat such a large bowl
With Brother He's talent, the next generation of juren should be able to win. "Ye Qing was not flattering, but vaguely remembered that it was indeed the case. It was just that a great disaster was coming, and he was afraid that juren would not be able to resist.
Yu Fan was able to succeed in the past because all the counties and districts in the state were unable to resist the great calamity, and instinctively wanted to find a leader to resist. Yu Fan's conditions were suitable in all aspects, so he shook his arm and shouted, and half the state responded. This is called the fate of the time. Now Ye Qing is laying out in all aspects and wants to seize this "suitable"!
With the He family and a time of great calamity, half of Pinghe County has fallen into their hands.
When you can't say this, just laugh at the moment.
At this point, there were only a few small matters left. The original wine was transported by waterway to Pingshou, the finished wine was transported back to Taiping, and the personnel and contact methods for the steward were preliminarily determined. After a banquet, the He family specially attached a good horse as a gift.
He Mao walked all the way to the door, watching Ye Qing flip over and get on the horse, arching behind him without using an umbrella, and rushing away in the rain curtain, faintly opening a layer of white mist.
I can't help but sigh inwardly, 'It's been a year since we last saw each other, it's really like a dragon...'
Riding north, changing horses at every market, traveling overnight, and on the third day, we arrived at Pingshou.
The typhoon has passed, and days of rain have washed away the sky. Clouds have scattered and stars have emerged, and the Milky Way is vast, stretching across the celestial poles.
Under the starry sky, Changting is a newly erected watchtower, guarding the village patrol. Seeing Ye Qing holding a bow and commanding him to station his horse on the road, he recognized it with great joy and said, "The young master is back
Shouting loudly and waving the torch into the air, the special signal was transmitted five miles, replicated and transmitted ten miles.
Lights flickered on the horizon, and the buildings outside shone like pillars. In this transparent and gentle night, Ye Jiazhuang was embracing Ye Qing's return with open arms.
On the way, Ye Qing thought to herself that it was November and the departure was becoming more and more urgent. However, there were still many things to be explained, and it was necessary to inspect the clan's fields and distilleries.
Although I often go out, I am glad to know that the distillery is doing well. By outsourcing the pre steaming process, the production capacity has gradually increased tenfold and has now stabilized.
Nanlian Mountain covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. Thanks to the effective work of Xiangtian Hall under the leadership of Lv Shangjing, the main canal was finally restored before the soil completely froze. Although more branch canals were blocked, mountain potatoes are not rice that requires a large amount of water, and a bountiful harvest is expected in spring.
What surprised Ye Qing even more was underground. After the last lunar eclipse, he conducted a special inspection and found that the evil energy in the earth's meridians had significantly subsided. Even someone like himself who did not have a deep understanding of spiritual meridian geomancy could distinguish it.
Ye Qing is very familiar with this change and knows that this place is the most essence of the past ten thousand mu... Now it has fallen into his own hands.
The true transformation of auspicious land is certainly not so fast. There is a period of accumulation and brewing, and the earth's energy can only be maximized when combined with the timing. The lunar eclipse occurred several months earlier, which made time tight, but allowed this field to catch up with next year's spring plowing. Ten thousand acres of rice, combined with the original seven thousand acres at home... In Yu Fan's personal words, when he started his business in his past life, he may not have had this kind of capital
I'm really gradually becoming the climate! "Ye Qing thought of this, smiled slightly, and rode up.
