It was late February after returning from Taiyuan, and preparations for this year's pepper planting have already begun.

In the past, Lin San and Xiao Qilang were in charge of the chili field in Fourteen's hands. Xiao Qilang took care of the closer ones, and Lin San took care of the farther ones.

Now that Lin San was sent to Taiyuan Mansion, Fourteen picked out two of the remaining servants at home, one took over Lin San's job, and worked with Xiao Qilang to be responsible for the sowing, fertilization and subsequent picking of peppers .

The other officially took over the pepper base, responsible for the storage of peppers, the drying of peppers for sale, and the preparation of pepper seeds.

After experiencing the incidents of the Changshun Escort, the Pepper Base has made some changes and added some hidden functions.The newly built dungeons are also under his management.

Xiao Yan asked Shisi for another person, and asked him to gather a group of carpenters, and built a workshop specializing in the production of woodwork next to the fireworks workshop. The first task was to mass-produce playing cards.

Playing cards are simple to make, and can be imitated immediately after they go on the market.Xiao Yan didn't intend to use it to make a lot of money, it was all about adding a new category of goods to Qihuoju.

But there is still a problem, that is the market - people in the Dali Dynasty can't play poker at all, who will buy it?
"This is going to spread it slowly." Fourteen gave him an idea, "If you want to spread it, then in the future you will receive posts from other young men or young ladies, so don't let it go." Push it, go with the playing cards and teach them how to play."

Naturally, those who posted to Xiao Yan were the children of Fourteen's friends and partners. They and their families are the most social and well-connected group of people in Songzhou.

In addition to being sociable and having money and leisure, this wave of people also loves to follow the trend, and they like rare things the most.It's only fitting that they promote poker.

"That's good." Xiao Yan said, "Then let the workshop make a batch first, and when I have time later, I will take it to the banquet."

"Mother, is there anything interesting besides playing cards?" Xiao Yan asked, "If it can also be made of wood, I can make it together and promote it."

"Yes, there is also mahjong, which is also a kind of card. Four people play together." Fourteen said, "If you are interested, you can go to the space and use the computer to check what cards are there, then draw them and give them to them make."

"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded excitedly, "Then mother, you have time to teach me how to play, and then I will teach others."

"Mahjong requires four people to play together. There are only three of you and Yinzhu in total, and you need to call one more."

Xiang Mai hasn't come back from Anxi yet, and there are quite a few people in the family, but everyone has heavy tasks and is extremely busy, so there is absolutely no time to play mahjong with them.

Qi Lecheng is preparing for the government examination, and Gu Lin and the others also have to study.And if you call out those who should study hard to play mahjong, it's no wonder that their parents will scold you for teaching their children badly.

It can only be said that weird people like the fourteenth mother and son are really uncommon.If you compare it, the mother and son do a lot more than many people, but there is no delay in eating, drinking and having fun.

"It would be great if Master was here." Xiao Yan sighed suddenly.

He didn't distinguish between calling Zuo Qiuyue and Xiang Mai, and called them all Master.But Shisi knew that his master was talking about Zuo Qiuyue.

"Mother, when shall we go to the gods to find Master?" He always remembered that he could see Master again before the chili seeds were sown.

Fourteen thought about it, and replied, "Leave in half a month."

"Really?" Xiao Yan confirmed in surprise, his face full of anticipation without concealing it.

"real."

……

The reason why he had to wait half a month before leaving was because Huangliang County held a government examination at the end of February, and this was also the first large-scale examination that Qi Lecheng officially took part in.

Shisi greeted Qi Tianheng at the beginning, and after the notice of the government examination came out, he specifically told her.

On the day of the exam, besides the Qi family, there were fourteen leading Xiao Yan and Gu Mingzhang leading Gu Lin to send Qi Lecheng to the exam.Yuan Liuniang also followed.

Qi Lecheng didn't notice that he was nervous, but his mother, Mrs. Qi, was very nervous. Before Qi Lecheng entered the examination room, she took his test basket and turned it over seven or eight times in a row, for fear that she forgot to bring something.

Qi Lecheng understood his mother's character, and after persuading her twice to no effect, he also let her go, and he talked with Xiao Yan and Gu Lin around Shisi.

"Mr. Qi Xiaolang is just like Ah Lin, and he likes Mrs. Xiao so much." Yuan Liuniang stood beside Mrs. Qi and said unintentionally.

Madam Qi stopped checking the roasted blue, and turned her head to look in the direction of Fourteen.

"I see that Mr. Qi Xiaolang is confident and not nervous at all. He was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Xiao and the others." Yuan Liuniang continued, "Besides, Madam, you are here to help him check the test basket, so you don't worry about missing anything."

Mrs. Qi frowned, and shouted: "Ah Cheng, we are almost entering the examination room, so why don't you come and see your basket, is there anything you forgot?"

"Mom, I'm sure I didn't forget anything. I put everything in the same way at home." Qi Lecheng said helplessly, "And didn't you check it for me many times?"

"Yeah, you've checked it so many times, what else can you forget?" Qi Tianheng finally couldn't help it, "Ah Cheng exam, you are more nervous than him."

"Can I be nervous?" Madam Qi said, "That's my son, my own son."

"Isn't it my son?"

"You..." Mrs. Qi wanted to argue again, but seeing that it was outside, she held back and only gave him a glare.

"We're about to line up to enter the examination room." Fourteen glanced ahead, Qi Lecheng said, "Go get the test basket and get ready to enter."

"Ah Cheng, everything is going well." Xiao Yan said, "If you pass the exam, I will give you a gift."

"what gift?"

"You can pick whatever you want."

"And the ones in your room?"

"can."

"keep your word?"

"of course."

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, and Qi Lecheng gave him a high-five: "For this gift, I have to make good use of it!"

After sending Qi Lecheng into the examination room, Shisi and Qi Tianheng called Gu Mingzhang to stop together, wanting to discuss something with him.

"Mother, what are you going to say?" Xiao Yan asked, "Can Ah Lin and I listen together?"

"Auntie, I don't have to go to class today."

"Of course." Fourteen never objected to their participation in adult affairs just because they were children.

Gu Mingzhang asked Yuan Liuniang to go home first, but she wanted to follow along.So the whole family came to the Huangliang Escort Bureau, Gu Mingzhang and his son were discussing matters in the front yard, and Yuan Liuniang was taken to the backyard by Mrs. Qi to entertain them.

The reason why Gu Mingzhang was called here was because Shisi had discussed with Qi Tianheng and wanted to pull him into the shares together.

"Let me join you?" Gu Mingzhang obviously didn't expect them to have such an idea.We must know that the Huangliang Escort Bureau is booming and is the number one in Songzhou. Why do we want to invite outsiders in at this time?
He expressed his doubts.

Fourteen explained: "It is precisely because the Escort Bureau is developing so fast that you need to join in and help. There are more people and more strength."

For the past two years, Master Song was responsible for recruiting personnel for the Escort Bureau, Qi Tianheng was in charge of management, and Fourteen was in charge of training and dispatching Escorts.But in the past two years, Master Song has grown older, and he is obviously unable to do what he wants.

After Shisi discussed with Qi Tianheng, he came up with the idea of ​​getting Gu Mingzhang to invest together.

Qi Tianheng and Shishi have worked together for many years, and their business thinking has changed a lot.Coupled with the personality cult of Fourteen, all of her suggestions are in favor.

"You bring the Gu Family Escort together to invest in the shares." Fourteen said, "Leader Qi and I each share [-]% of the shares with you."

"Originally, Master Qi and I shared four or six shares in the Huangliang Escort. After you joined the Gu Family Escort, he will take five, I will take three, and you will take two."

"Now you have seen the size of the Huangliang Escort Bureau. You will not suffer from this share."

"To tell you the truth, Huangliang Escort will continue to open branches in various places in the future. When the time is right, Head Qi will give [-]% to [-]% of his share to the managers of each branch. It won't move anymore."

……

After listening to Fourteen's detailed introduction, Gu Mingzhang was both moved and hesitant.He didn't rush to make a decision, but said, "Give me a few days to think about it."

Seeing his attitude, Fourteen and Qi Tianheng looked at each other.If there is no immediate refusal, it proves that the possibility of agreeing is very high.
