Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The next day, Tong Ran slept until noon, and when she got up, the little tiger was no longer in the room.

"Where's Zai Zai?" Tong Ran asked the boy who came in to make the bed after washing up.

"Go back to your lord, Master Hu is eating outside." The servant said respectfully.

Tong Ran turned around and went out.

He vaguely remembered some things from last night. He drank too much wine and came to find the little tiger with a top-heavy head. The little tiger seemed unhappy and grabbed him, but then... he seemed to ignore its wishes and fell asleep with the cub in his arms. One night.

Tong Ran recalled these sidewalks, and he was finished. His cub was not a clingy cat. He always emphasized that there was a tiger in a bed, and he had a strong sense of territoriality. If he forced him to sleep with him, Cub must be angry.

Tong Ran stepped out of the room, and at some point there was a pair of bamboo tables and chairs in the yard. The chairs were made much higher than usual, and with the figure of a little tiger, sitting on them could just reach the table.

Tong Ran walked over quickly, and it turned out that the person sitting on it drinking tea leisurely was his cub.

"Cub." Tong Ran approached.

"My lord." Dongqing put down the teapot, got up and saluted.Only then did Tong Ran see clearly that Dongqing, who he had sent to take care of the little tiger, was standing aside.

"What are you doing?" Tong Ran asked.

Dongqing was a little apprehensive, bowed her head and said, "Forgive me, my lord, but the villain made his own decisions."

"It's okay, let's talk about what this is first?" Tong Ran said.

"Yes." Dongqing clasped her fists and said, "Master Tiger likes to eat by himself, but most of the tables and chairs in the house don't fit his figure, so the villain made his own decision and bought this pair of bamboo tables and chairs."

Tong Ran looked at the table and chair again, and it really fit the little tiger's size.

"Besides," Dongqing continued after a pause, "Master Tiger likes to eat inside the house and eat snacks outside, so there is a pair of wooden tables and chairs in the west side room."

"You did it all?" Tong Ran asked.

"Yes, the villain learned a little bit of carpentry when he was at home, but he didn't do well, and adults laughed at him." Dongqing said.

Tong Ranyuan only thought that Dongqing was down-to-earth and serious, but he didn't expect to have such abilities, so he couldn't help but look at him more.

After all, Dongqing was young and didn't have the ability to read words and expressions, so she wasn't sure what Tong Ran's mood was. Seeing him looking over, she buried her head even lower.

"You did a good job. Go to the accountant to pay ten taels of silver, and report the money for other materials, and let him make up for you." Tong Ran said.

Dongqing raised her head, and took a quick peek at Tong Ran: "The silver...is the adult rewarding Dongqing?"

Tong Ran frowned, not knowing what the boy meant, and just nodded.

"Thank you, my lord." Dongqing smiled and said loudly.The boy's voice was clean and unusually pleasant.

"Go." Tong Ran said.

Dongqing bowed and said goodbye, and happily went to receive the reward.

Really still a child.Tong Ran laughed.

This child is so satisfied, it's completely different from his family's Zai Zai.This little boy from his family is fierce and picky, and has a bad temper, but who made him his own boy?

There was no room for Tong Ran in this pair of desks and chairs, so he could only bend down, and said with some guilt: "Zai Zai."

The little tiger didn't even look at him, and continued to eat his egg custard.Occasionally drink two sips of tea.

It was fine when he came back so late yesterday, and he wrapped himself in his arms without saying a word. When he came back this morning, the hair on his body was messy, and Tong Ran changed the direction, hugging the quilt and sleeping soundly.

It's just a broken quilt, can it be better than it?

The little tiger became more and more angry, and ate up the egg custard.

"Wow!" Tim Cha!

"Here we come, Zai Zai, drink more." Tong Ran refilled it with tea, smiling all over his face.

The little tiger drinks tea and ignores him.

Tong Ran had just finished a major event, so he didn't have any plans for today, so he just stayed by the side with the little tiger and brought him some tea from time to time.Although the cub didn't want to talk to him, he still drank the tea he added, and Tong Ran knew that it wasn't too angry, it was just playing with its temper.

In fact, the cubs are quite cute when they play their temper.

"Wow—" the little tiger roared, revealing two short fangs.

Tong Ran withdrew his hand embarrassingly, he just couldn't hold back, and rubbed the little boy's back hard.

"My lord." One person and one tiger looked at each other, Yuan San walked across the courtyard and stopped beside Tong Ran, "There is a letter for you."

"Letter?" Tong Ran took it, "Who sent it?"

Yuan San: "The sender said that his young master and your lord are old acquaintances. This is a famous post."

Tong Ran took the name card again.

The little tiger scratched his arm and stretched his neck.Tong Ran had just offended it, so she knelt down obediently and showed it a good time.

There were two words written on the name post - Qiu Ming.

"Wow!" cried the little tiger.

Tong Ran also saw the name.This famous post is from Qiu Ming. I'm afraid the post has his taste, and his family doesn't like it anymore.

Qiu Ming always showed courtesy to his family, and Tong Ran didn't like him very much, but he didn't deny that this kid had a bit of a business mind. Before that, the beer business in Xiaoguo County was doing well, and it is said that he is still doing it now.I just don't know what he is looking for now.

Tong Ran opened the letter, the little tiger still scratched him, Tong Ran: "Do you understand?"

"Wow!" the little tiger roared.

Today, Tong Ran was wronged, so he squatted down obediently and showed it to the little tiger.

Qiu Ming's creed was very clear. He first congratulated Tong Ran for his promotion, then mentioned his iron mines, and finally said that he wanted to bring some merchant friends to visit.

He wants to buy iron?Tong Ran put away the letter.

It was yesterday that he used a new method to smelt pig iron, but today he immediately received a letter from Qiu Ming, which was really too fast. How did Qiu Ming know that he had good iron here?

"Are the people sent by his family still there?" Tong Ran asked.

Yuan San: "The man has already left, but a basket of carrier pigeons is left behind."

Tong Ran: "Write to him and tell him that I'm here at any time." Anyway, his smelting workshop always has to deal with merchants from all over the world, so it doesn't hurt to meet Qiu Ming.

A certain inn in Ding County suddenly ushered in a group of chariots and horses, and there were many people on and off.There are also a few older ones who are also well-dressed, but they are somewhat respectful to this young master in their words and deeds.

The shopkeeper has been running the inn for many years, and he saw at a glance that the young man had the highest status in this industry, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, may I ask you to stay at the tip or stay in the shop?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Shopkeeper, we have booked this inn. Please invite other guests out for me. I will pay them double the room rate." The young man said nothing, and an older man next to him said.

The content of the man's words was a bit domineering, but his tone was quite polite. The shopkeeper thought that the servants of this family were well-bred, but suddenly recognized that this man was a big merchant on Shanlin North Road, his name was Huang Tai, and he belonged to the Huang's firm. Big boss.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded quickly, personally invited them to sit down, and went on to work non-stop.

Before he left, he looked at the other two well-dressed, both of whom looked like wealthy businessmen.To be treated politely by such a big businessman, this little Yuguan must be either rich or noble.

"Brother Qiu." Huang Tai said, "Jinhe Supervisor is ahead."

"Elder Huang, don't worry." Qiu Ming said, "I have some kind of friendship with Mr. Tong, so I will take care of this business."

"Brother Qiu, are you sure Jin Hejian has new pig iron now?" Another merchant who was traveling with him asked.

Qiu Mingdao: "Of course. If you think about it carefully, you will understand that Jinhe Supervisor is mainly engaged in iron smelting, and Tong Ran suddenly rose to the ranks after taking office. This leap must be due to some progress in iron smelting skills. I had a relationship with him last year, and the inventions of Mr. Tong are all fresh and practical, if he develops some new iron-making equipment or methods, there is no need to be surprised.”

Qiu Ming's training period is coming to an end, and the last question in the clan is to purchase a batch of pig iron.

His brother who is in the limelight is said to have negotiated with an iron mine supervisor on Linhai Road, and the price is very low.If he couldn't find cheap and high-quality pig iron in time, he would be stepped on by his clan brother. Qiu Ming didn't want to, but when he heard that Tong Ran had become Jinhe's supervisor, he wanted to check on the situation.

In order to further lower the price, he invited a few big merchants nearby to come together. This way, the larger the quantity, the lower the price must be.

As for Tong Ranjin's remarks, he just came up with it just now.But it also made sense, he was almost convinced by himself.

Huang Tai didn't poke his loopholes.Qiu Ming is the young master of the Qiu family, and he is quite talented among the new generation. The Qiu family is the only one among the five great gentry families who is willing to work with merchants. If he can establish a good relationship with them through Qiu Ming, the future benefits to his business will be limitless.

As for the inspector who reached the rank at a young age, although he was young and promising, he came from a poor family and was not as important as the Qiu family.He didn't have any expectations when he went to purchase this time, but he just wanted to save face for the young master of the Qiu family.

Ever since the little tiger had a temper tantrum with Tong Ran, Tong Ran took it with him every day, and the people in Jinhe Supervisor, like Xiaoguo County, quickly got used to Tong Ran who was haunted by the tiger.

"Wow——" Coming out of the smelting workshop, Tong Ran put the little tiger into the bamboo basket in front of the bicycle. The little tiger poked its head out, a little disgusted.

"This car has just been built, and there is no time to decorate it. I will ask them to put cushions in the basket for you later, so please bear with it." Tong Ran said.

The little tiger shook his head and crawled out of the bamboo basket.

This bamboo basket has just been woven, the weaver's workmanship is a little rough, and many bamboo thorns have not been shaved off, making it hurt in the buttocks.

Tong Ran was afraid that it would fall, so he had to pick it up, took off his coat and put it in the basket of the car, and put the little tiger back in.

"Is this all right?" Tong Ran patted it on the head.

"Wow!" The little tiger fiercely sniffed at the robes under his body, wrinkled his nose, and barely stopped.

This bicycle was built just yesterday, because there is no plastic. The tires are made of sheep intestines, and the outside is wrapped with layers of cowhide. It is similar to the principle of making footballs in ancient times, and it is smooth to ride.

Tong Ran didn't like to sit in a sedan chair, and walking was strenuous, so she always had to use a carriage to get in and out, which was very inconvenient.After he has a bicycle, he only needs to put the little tiger in the basket, and he can freely travel between government offices and mining areas, which is much more convenient.

Tong Ran rode his bicycle to the government office, attracting many eyes along the way.The workers first saw a tiger's head flying out of nowhere, and then found out that the inspector had used some kind of mount, his legs circled, and Gululu moved forward.

"what is that?"

"I do not know!"

"I heard people from the smelting workshop say that it's called a bicycle, designed by Mr. Tong."

"Bicycle? That's a good name!"

At the gate of the supervisor's mansion, Qiu Ming and Huang Tai had just got off the car when Qiu Ming's book boy ran down from the gatehouse and said, "Menzi said, Mr. Tong has gone to the mining area."

"When will you be back?" Qiu Ming asked.

"Say it quickly..." Shutong suddenly stopped talking, squinted his eyes through Qiu Ming's shoulder, pointed behind him and said, "That's Master Tong?"

Qiu Ming, Huang Tai and the others looked in the direction the book boy pointed, and saw Tong Ran galloping along the road on a horse he had never seen before.

And that mount seems to have... a tiger's head?

The author has something to say: There is a beast in Jinhe, its head is like a tiger, its body is like a wheel, and it has two wings. It can travel thousands of miles a day. Its name is bicycle, and its sound is woo-wa.

Thank you Dongfeng, Weixi, Yingming, and Strawberry Puff for feeding mines, love~

Thank you for your support, okay~
