Datang Longya

Chapter 359
Liu Shuwen pointed to the seat next to her: "Old Yuan, sit down."

The old man bent over and cupped his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

"You are a retainer of the Leng family. You are a family. Why are you so unfamiliar? Sit down!"

Old Yuan smiled awkwardly before sitting next to Liu Shuwen.

Liu Shuwen pointed to the tea bowl: "Speak slowly if you have anything to say, drink some tea first."

The old Yuan shook his head: "Let's talk about things first. Before the Lord left home, he told the old slave to operate coal, so as to hurt others and make the Wang family lose money.

If you want to deal with a big family, a little money is not enough, so the master left 100 million guan for the old slave. It stands to reason that this 100 million guan is enough, but because of the businessmen who have been recruited, they still need more than 80 guan. To balance the accounts.

80 guan, this is not a small amount, so the old slave boldly came to ask the mistress what you think. "

"80 guan~"

Liu Shuwen tapped the teacup with her slender fingers: "This is indeed not a small number, but old Yuan, do you remember what your husband said to you before he left?"

The old man nodded.

"Since my husband has said something first, let you do it freely. Naturally, you won't care about this little money. You are also a retainer of the Leng family. If you need money, you can ask Lao Li for it. If you need to transfer money from other places, look at it yourself. That's fine, why bother to ask a woman like me for affirmation?
I heard from Lao Li that if I don't agree, you have to shame your old face, but have you ever thought about it?You are now the big shopkeeper of Tianxialou. If you lose face, Tianxialou will lose face. The face of Tianxialou can be measured by 80 coins? "

Lao Yuan nodded. That was indeed the case. No matter what he said, he could be regarded as the big shopkeeper of Tianxialou. Even if he pretended to push through this wave, he would lose the reputation of Tianxialou.

The reputation of Tianxialou is priceless!

Liu Shuwen stood up and said to Lao Yuan: "Let's go and do it. I heard from my husband that Tianxialou is a loss, and it is also a loss for the benefit of the people. It is just some money. If you can give Tianxialou It is also worth collecting some popularity.

Our Leng family is destined to become a big family handed down from generation to generation. We can't care about the gains and losses of money like the people in the market, what do you think? "

Lao Yuan stood up and bowed to the ground: "What the mistress said is that if this is the case, the old slave wants to use the money in the mansion, so I ask the mistress for permission."

Liu Shuwen smiled: "What do you want to do with my permission? You still haven't adapted to your status as a retainer. If you need money, just ask Lao Li for it. My task now is to raise children. I don't have time to involve those useless things. You Just discuss it with Lao Li!"

After speaking, Liu Shuwen walked out of the living room.

After seeing her off, Lao Li walked in and patted Lao Yuan on the shoulder: "I just said that it is unnecessary for you to find the mistress! You and I should be glad to be the retainers of the Leng family, even though the retainers are half the masters of the family. , but look around Chang'an, whose retainers can really get such great power?"

The old Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true, such a retainer can only be strong in front of him! Let's not talk about it, you are the housekeeper of the mansion, tell me, how much profit is left from the profits handed over in the past two years? "

Lao Li smiled slightly, and gestured to Lao Yuanbi.

"There are so many more!"

There was a locust plague this year, and the family had to spend a lot of money to buy food. In addition to the consumption of the Academy of Arts, the annual gifts of various relatives, and the annual gifts for the emperor and the Supreme Emperor, it was unexpected that there would be so much left after so much consumption.

"Our Patriarch doesn't fight for wealth like other dukes, and he doesn't deal with those useless antiques, he's just a womanizer, hehe, there are not many people who are as clean-spirited as our Patriarch.

Look at the money spent by the Lord, apart from increasing his own prestige, which one is not invested in the property, and which one of the current properties is not a cornucopia that everyone envies. "

"That's what I admire the lord the most. He seems to know that he doesn't have to think about it. He doesn't need to think about it. He knows that he will make money if he produces it. Hehe, whatever! It's only 80 yuan. Even if he loses money, the lord's family will still be able to make money in the next year!"

Lao Li and Lao Yuan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Leng Feng couldn't laugh at all. Although the craftsmen led by Yan Liben rushed to work day and night, the coal stoves were already in place, and there was enough coal in the coal mine Tang Jin discovered. More than 2000 people worked for several days. No logging.

However, today they encountered an accident that they could not do anything about—heavy snow!
The cold current in Siberia, future generations will talk about it in the winter weather forecast every few days, because it likes to bring snow to the earth the most.

It's fine on weekdays, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, but now they are in the East Siberia area, and the sudden heavy snow immediately blocked their journey.

That's all for light snow. When marching in heavy snow, you can't tell which side is the mountain and which side is the gully, and it is easy to fall down at any time.

Surrounded by the stove, Li Xiaogong rubbed his hands and said, "I'm caught off guard, the snow here falls as soon as it falls, the clouds float over, and then it snows. It's been so long, I don't know when it will end!"

Leng Feng poured a cup of hot tea for Tang Jian: "Let's go, the snow may fall for a while, or it may last for a few days. The wasteland here is like this. There are only very short springs and summers every year, and more of them are severe cold , Didn’t you find that many of our middle-earth and grassland plants don’t grow here?”

"There is also a place where the winter is longer than the spring and summer. I really know it. According to folklore, the Dragon King of the North Sea is responsible for snowfall. Doesn't it get colder as you go north, and the winter gets longer!"

Leng Feng helplessly poured Wan Zhu a cup of hot tea: "Why are you everywhere, even you come to join in the fun while we drink tea, and you don't even look at your identity!"

At present, besides Yan Liben, none of the people beside the stove are big men. Although the other Liu Yuan has a low title, he is one of the nine ministers.

Wan Zhu didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I've asked Erniu, the so-called guards are your personal guards, and I'm the one who will go to any danger. Now you drink tea, I suspect that the tea is poisonous, so naturally I will taste it for you. taste."

"Tsk tsk tsk, then I really thank you!"

After pouring Ashina Ayi another cup, there was no more tea in the teapot, so Leng Feng could only put the kettle on the coal stove again and continue to boil the water.

Originally, he wanted to bring some bamboo poles as "chimney pipes", but Yan Liben said that this would be too troublesome, and he would have his own way at that time.

So, at this time, the one connected to the coal stove and the smoke outside the tent became a square wooden tube...

Although the square wooden cylinder is particularly eye-catching, it is easy to make and has no shortage of functions, so Leng Feng doesn't care about them.

What used to be a big tent for three or five people has been combined into a big tent for two or 300 people.
