Ye Jianqiu

The sky is gradually dawning, the light blue sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, the earth is hazy, and the thin mist is like a magical hand, gently stroking the green countryside.

A figure is squatting busy by the reservoir, and the sound of "squeaking" water can be heard from time to time.

After Ye Jianqiu dried the unwashed bedding, clothes and other items on the rope one by one, he placed pairs of washed boots obliquely on the ground to control the water.

After everything was washed, Ye Jianqiu put the washbasin in his hand aside, sat on a small stone bench, stretched his legs lazily, and rested against the big tree behind him.

At this time, the sky was gray, the air was still a little humid, and the grass under our feet was also wet. There were roosters crowing in the distance, and the high-pitched and distant crowing echoed even in the valley.

In fact, Ye Jianqiu, who is full of worries, woke up early and has been busy until now.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lowered his head to light it, raised his head and slowly puffed a smoke ring.

All the things that were washed just now belonged to Chao Ge.

Chaoge's quilt should have been removed and washed long ago, if Ye Jianqiu hadn't tidied up his things, I don't know how long he would have used it.And that pillow, like Zhao Chun's, is also a buckwheat husk pillow.He didn't ask about Chaoge and Zhao Chun, it might be a pain for Chaoge, if Chaoge didn't tell, he would never speak.

Chaoge has very few things, except for a few changes of clothes and armor and weapons, there is nothing else.Just like that, carrying a small and pitiful luggage, he brought a person to his side.

When two people decide to live together, there is no special ceremony, no earth-shattering vows.Instead, put the things of two people in a tent, and start a new life simply like that.

Aunt Li was obviously dissatisfied. She felt that Chaoge was not prudent enough, Ye Jianqiu was too sloppy, and even two people did not even have a wedding too wronged... But she didn't say anything, but her expression was a little disappointed .Mr. Jingshi, on the other hand, did not express any opinion from the beginning to the end, and only protested in silence.

But Aunt Li still chose to respect the two happy-looking people, and took the initiative to help Ye Jianqiu clean his tent again, and took out a set of brand new red mattresses that she had prepared a long time ago, and gave them to Ye Jianqiu. Cut autumn as a gift.

It was a bed of big red mandarin ducks and acacia quilts and amphibious double lotus pillows.

Ye Jianqiu knew in his heart that Aunt Li had originally prepared things for him and Situ Jin, but he and Chao Ge never expected to use them.

I have to admit that it is very direct and effective for the passionate Chaoge to break into his life unexpectedly regardless of his care.

Ye Jianqiu raised his arm and saw the string of brightly colored watermelon tourmaline bracelets on his wrist, he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.

In fact, he doesn't like things that are too bright, but he loves a sincere heart more.

He can be sure that Chao Ge really likes him.Although Chao Ge is young, it is because of his young age that the feelings from the heart are more pure - just like for the sake of liking, and just for the sake of loving.

Ye Jianqiu looked at the vast mist in the distance with a lot of emotion.Whether he likes it or not, he really can't live without this world.

At this moment, someone spoke in the distance.

I saw a few patrolling workers coming from the mist, Lao Mu was holding a torch that had been extinguished, and Lao Hu was carrying a long knife, chatting and laughing with a few people and walked up to Ye Jianqiu to say hello.

"Guan Ye, why don't you sleep more?"

Ye Jianqiu smiled and said, "I can't sleep, I have too many things to do."

"Where's Chaoge?"

"Still sleeping."

"Oh."

A few people glanced at each other, and everyone felt strange in their hearts, why Ye Guanshi was always full of energy, his waist was straight, he walked with strides, and his eyebrows and eyes became more and more lively.And Chaoge always wakes up very late, yawning... Could it be that Chaoge is the one below?

Ye Jianqiu didn't know what was going on in everyone's minds, so he just asked, "Why are there twice as many people patrolling today than usual?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Lao Mu said with a serious face: "Guan Ye, that tree is probably unlucky..."

Since the sycamore tree turned black charcoal inexplicably, the farm has stepped up patrols.

"Nonsense! How can it be unlucky!"

Lao Hu interrupted Lao Mu's words loudly: "There was no open fire on this tree, nor did it burn a single piece of grass around it, and I didn't even hear a movement. Since the black eagle didn't cry, then it's a miracle. And it can be directly used as charcoal when put down, and the flame is very strong in the steelmaking furnace, which is very useful! This is how God is congratulating our Steward Ye and Chao Ge on their prosperous life!"

"Oh, that's right! I'll add some sycamore charcoal to Guanshi Ye's copper stove later, it will be very useful!"

Lao Mu nodded again and again, what Lao Hu said was right, how could it be said that Guanshi Ye's happy day was inauspicious?

Ye Jianqiu didn't think it was strange, but he probably had to ask Zhao Chun about any weird things related to fire.

Seeing that the workers were about to leave, Ye Jianqiu pulled the worker who was at the back of the line: "Xiao Wen, wait a moment."

Xiao Wen nodded and stopped.

"Xiao Wen, can you mend shoes?"

The thick-browed, big-eyed, honest-looking Xiao Wen patted his chest, and nodded firmly.Every time Ye Jianqiu sees him, he feels that he is like a rock and feels very kind.

"Chaoge's boots are open..."

Before Ye Jianqiu could finish speaking, Xiao Wen went directly to the place where the boots were drying, picked up the two pairs of boots and left.

Ye Jianqiu said in a hurry: "I'm not doing it yet, it won't be too late to make up after it's done."

Xiao Wen shook his head with a smile, and ran to Lao Mu and the others with his boots in hand.

Ye Jianqiu had no choice but to yell at them: "Old Hu, let everyone know in a moment, we have a morning meeting after dinner!"

"Know it!"

Lao Hu and the others waved their hands from afar.

After washing up, Ye Jianqiu came to the small bed lightly, and put a blue snowflake with dewdrops beside Chaoge's pillow. I can't tell which is the flower and which is the person...the beauty is so picturesque.

I saw Chao Ge lying on the bright red quilt sleeping sweetly with her limbs wide open, and two long bare legs were exposed under the quilt.Ye Jianqiu smiled secretly, this Chaoge hadn't worn any clothes since he got into his bed.

——Ye Jianqiu, you seem to have taken advantage of it!

Ye Jianqiu lowered his head and kissed Chaoge, then gently took out Chaoge's hand to remove the gauze, sat by the bed and quietly applied ointment on him.

After Chaoge smelled a light mint toothpaste, she moved her long eyelashes, closed her eyes, and bent her furry head into the opponent's arms, muttering: "Daughter-in-law, you have become nicer to others." It's just killing me, and I'm worried."

In fact, Chaoge is jealous that Ye Jianqiu used to be so kind to others.

How could Ye Jianqiu not know Chao Ge's careful thoughts, just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm only good to you."

Chao Ge held Ye Jianqiu in his arms and said sullenly: "What you say means what you say, or you will be fined..."

"Okay, you made the horses on the farm want to gelding themselves, so you can't think of other ways to punish people."

Chao Ge smiled badly: "I just like to bully you, what should I do?"

Ye Jianqiu patted him with a smile: "I still want to bully you! You sleep a little longer, it's still early."

"I woke up early, my wife's bed is too comfortable. Even if I can't fall asleep, I don't want to get up."

"Then lie down for a while."

"Ah."

Ye Jianqiu blushed, because the two of them tasted love for the first time, indulged every night and never wasted, exploring the mysteries and joys of each other's body without any scruples...so Chaoge fell in love with the bed very much.

Ye Jianqiu lowered his head and whispered in Chao Ge's ear: "After getting up, go to Auntie's for breakfast. Auntie said that we will have a small stove together as a family. We will have a meeting after you finish eating. We have something to discuss today." .”

"Ah."

"Chaoge, Auntie has specially made soup for you, you have to drink it..."

"Ah."

"So nice."

Ye Jianqiu leaned down and hugged Chaoge gently, the two people immersed in love exchanged deep and shallow kisses one after another.

…………&………

It's time for a meeting.

After the number of people arrived, Ye Jianqiu, who was sitting in the conference room, changed his gentle demeanor after work, instead picked up a copper ashtray, and knocked on the table vigorously like a Liangshan hero. Announced loudly: "The meeting begins! The financial office comes first!"

"Yes!"

Lao Shui stood up first, and said with a straight face: "Report to Guanshi Ye that due to the farm's breach of contract, it failed to supply fresh fruits in time, and has already paid Gu Shulin double the liquidated damages. This month, Uncle Jin came to check the account again and took away 2000 Now the farm only has 500 taels in cash.”

"The next time Uncle Jin comes again, tell him directly that he wants to ask Situ Jin to have an interview with me in person, otherwise he won't get a penny! Next!"

Ye Jianqiu knew in his heart that the workers on the farm were exhausted every day, and with such hard-earned money, the Legion easily smoked a lot of money, and it made him feel cold!The farm needs to develop and import raw materials, all of which need money, but the legion doesn't care about it and just takes the money!And Situ Jin, all his sergeants had put on the latest armor and shiny weapons, only Chao Ge was still equipped with the oldest equipment.Regardless of whether Situ Jin has declared his personal revenge on Chaoge or not, it's time to have a good talk!

Lao Shui, who was originally full of hatred, immediately turned cloudy.

Since Guanshi Ye has spoken, it means that he is finally going to declare war on behalf of the farm and the legion!

The person in charge of the technical department stood up and said: "Report to Guanshi Ye, the newly developed matches from the technical department are very popular. We have improved the technology and reduced the cost by half. Now we are developing metal matches filled with fuel and alcohol." Lighters, these two products are expected to become the main products this year. There is also the balance platform scale with five scales that you proposed. We have almost done the research and will be able to ship it next month! The specific confidential formula has been in accordance with your instructions It's locked in the cabinet! Here's the key!"

"Chaoge, take it."

The person in charge of the technical department handed over a key to the combination lock, and Chaoge stood up to take it.

In fact, there were combination locks in ancient times, but Chinese characters were used to keep them secret.

There are multiple swivels engraved with Chinese characters on the lock, and each swivel is engraved with five Chinese characters. Put it on the lock, rotate the swivels one by one, only a certain combination can let the lock nose pass, and then rotate it again, I don’t know Even if the person who uses the password gets the key, he can't open the copper lock, which can be described as unique.

The person in charge of the engineering department stood up and said: "Report to Guanshi Ye, the engineering department has completed the construction of the cold storage, please give instructions."

Ye Jianqiu raised his head and said indifferently: "Dig another underground cold storage with the same area at least one foot above the ground, and reserve a water diversion pit and lifting equipment! In addition, a large pond will be dug on the beach for future fish breeding. Lotus root, Chaoge will give you the blueprint for the specific construction method after the meeting is over. Next."

The person in charge of the engineering department immediately went limp.

Ye Jianqiu ignored it, just lowered his head and took notes quickly, and Xiao Wen who was beside him also took notes quickly with a quill pen, only the rustling sound of writing in the quiet conference room.

The person in charge of the sales department stood up and said, "Report to Guanshi Ye, this month we have sold [-] jars of liquor, [-] jars of fruit wine, [-] heads of skins, [-] live pigs, more than [-] poultry, cotton cloth, etc. Three hundred bolts of silk, fifty sets of various agricultural tools, and five hundred pieces of daily necessities..."

The person in charge of the sales department read the accounts for a long time, and it took him half a stick of incense to read: "...a total of 120 taels of silver was recorded, and after deducting various labor and costs, the net balance was 850 taels. After deducting my own welfare and salary of 350 taels, the remaining 500 taels have been handed over to the financial office."

"Good job, get back to me with a detailed sales report. Next!"

Ye Jianqiu couldn't understand such a long number at all, but praise is a must!

——The business of the farm has improved a bit now, just because of the change of Feng Shui.Specifically, the farm has expanded the north and south gates.

Since those wait-and-see shops have not settled in, the farm will do it by itself!

The south gate is the old reception room, which receives private guests.The North Gate is the busiest part of the farm.The several shops that have been built have all been converted into temporary shop-type offices, integrating business, finance, transportation, storage and reception, and directly facing the vast number of merchants who come to negotiate business.

The farm’s new products are constantly being launched, and the business is gradually picking up again. The busy north gate is finally bustling. Now the farm shop is preparing to open a two-story inn. It is currently being renovated in full swing. The blueprint designed by Ye Jianqiu will be a luxury in the future I'm afraid that no matter how much money you have, you won't be eligible to move in!

And those staff who sit in the offices of these shops are the only workers who have contact with the outside world.

Ye Jianqiu understands that these workers are talents, not only should they be paid high salaries, but also their entrepreneurial enthusiasm must be stimulated!

These workers who work outside the office can exchange their monthly wages into bank notes through the bank account, and the bank account will use the government's post station to send the bank notes to the workers' hometowns.

Because the commerce in Qingyang Town was once very developed and there was already a mature financial system, so many banks actually had the function of exchanging bank notes, which fully demonstrated the long-term vision of the older generation of industrialists.

Ye Jianqiu is not worried that the workers will leave. They are living a fulfilling life here, and they are looking forward to the bright future of the farm. They cannot be beaten with sticks!If he escapes, he probably won't have such a good chance of "going to jail" in his next life.

At this time, the person in charge of the supply department stood up and said, "Report to Guanshi Ye, we have purchased 32 furs of various types according to your instructions, and the total cost is [-] taels of silver. Please instruct."

The supply department only posted a big red leaflet on the farm: the farm harvests a large number of leathers, and the variety is not limited.

With just this sentence, there are countless vendors who come to deliver leather products every day.In this world, leather is not worth much, and it doesn't have much use, and the cost is outrageously low.

Ye Jianqiu said without raising his head: "The supply department should pay attention to the price fluctuation of ore. If necessary, they can go on business trips to other places to inquire about the market. The workers in the sales department can also make reports according to the market situation. After my approval, they can go out to investigate the market For the real supply and marketing situation, write me a work report after returning from a business trip."

These workers must be released when necessary. If they stick to the farm, they will only stand still and have no future!What prisoners, what laws, I, Ye Jianqiu, are the rules!

"Yes!"

The person in charge of the supply department and the sales department grinned with big white teeth, and went out for business!Just don't make people jealous!

Ye Jianqiu said again: "Chaoge, hand over the blueprint for developing the leather bag to the technical department."

"Yes!"

Chaoge took out a few blueprints from a black leather bag on the table and handed them to the technical department. The person in charge of the technical department took them carefully, and the surrounding workers probed to see, and saw that there were many novel bags, large and small, designed on them. , as well as the series of pulleys and pull rods... Everyone breathes in, this is another big source of money!

People here mostly use thick wooden boxes, rattan boxes, trunks, and many copper ornaments, which are bulky and unattractive.If you use cheap leather to make a bag, it is not only waterproof but also light, and it will be a big seller!

The people in the technical department are so excited that they can't wait to go back and work overtime to develop it!

Ye Jianqiu said to the person in charge of the sales department: "You go back and write a regulation, and it must be marked that our farm will launch a new product every once in a while, and we will only sell new products to merchants who have long-term and stable cooperation with our farm. If you agree Those who can sign a contract can enjoy the right to get the goods at the first time and the preferential policies of the farm. We don’t force those who don’t sign the contract, but they have to wait in line for goods that are in short supply. If they miss the business opportunity, they will bear the consequences.”

"Yes!"

Didn't the Cao family want to reorganize the farm?Heh, I, Ye Jianqiu, live in an era of explosive modern material abundance!Luggage is just the beginning, there will be more products in the future, and it will be too late for you to copy! !

bring it on!Don't care about the Cao family, the Li family...all of them come!Forgive you for being as fine as a ghost, and drink the footwashing water!

When the meeting was about to end, the person in charge of the sales department couldn't sit still: "Report to Guanshi Ye, the Cao family has been sending people to lobby, and wants to buy a large amount of wheat from our farm again. Is this business still going on?"

Someone immediately scolded: "Sell him a bastard! If you eat it yourself, you won't sell it to the Cao family!"

Some people echoed: "Yes, eat by yourself, three meals a day of big white buns!"

"Bang bang bang"!Hearing Ye Jianqiu hit the table with an ashtray, everyone immediately quieted down, and all eyes were on him, including Chao Ge.

Ye Jianqiu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Why not do it? It's a big deal, let them prepare a lot of money and come back in a month."

"Yes!"

Seeing Ye Jianqiu's steady state, everyone couldn't help guessing secretly, it seems that Ye Guanshi already had a countermeasure in mind.

In fact, everyone is very conflicted. If the wheat is to be sold, it is better to sell it to the Cao family. Became big - trouble.

Ye Jianqiu said to Chaoge: "Chaoge, I'm afraid you have to help with something."

"Speak!"

Chao Ge patted his chest, and my wife spoke, and I will not hesitate!

"Use your black eagle to call Zhao Mingqi, I have something to do with him."

"Zhao Chun?"

"Yes!"

Ye Jianqiu nodded firmly.

Chao Ge snorted through his nostrils, stood up and said, "I'll do it right away."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"You're welcome."

After Chaoge squeezed the cheeks of his capable wife, he went out, and the workers gasped.

——Finding King Qi to work without even using the word "please"!These two are really rebellious!
