The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Although Fan Xuao had no achievements, he was indeed a representative of Confucianism and a great admirer of Gongyang School of Thought. He was a typical radical who would do anything he was dissatisfied with.

In his previous life, he didn't know much about Confucianism. It was not until he governed the world on behalf of Emperor Wen of Song and interacted with a group of Confucian officials that he gradually understood a little.

Later, from the moment the two saints came to power, he clearly understood the horror of Gongyang School.

Emperor Song Zhen did not dare to use such people now, and he had to rest and recuperate with the people. As a result, Emperor Song Zhen did not complete the unification of the former Tang Dynasty until his death.

Later, after Xie Shuting's unified reform, it was only in the first year of Emperor An of Song Dynasty that the three northern continents were recovered by means of commercial warfare.

Therefore, Xie Shuting had to ask Fan Xuao for help, because Emperor Song Zhen couldn't use him now, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be able to use him later.

Moreover, Fan Xuao still has more than ten years to live. If the children of the Chamber of Commerce can obtain his true teachings, it will be a sure-win business for the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing her young lady's expression changing several times, Lian Yue at the side asked with some concern: "Young lady! Can Mr. Fan be invited?"

"You can collect rare books from previous dynasties, or study Confucianism. People like this are self-righteous and cannot be tempted by wine, sex, money or anger."

"Yes!~" Lian Yue leaned over and responded.

"Also, regarding the location selection for the two colleges, just let your subordinates handle it. Just make sure it is based on the scale of Hongru College. Don't be afraid to spend money and give your full support to the colleges."

"Yes!" Lian Yue responded, her brows turning as if she was doubtful, "Miss, do you want me to go to Gongjing County in Chengdu?"

"good."

Xie Shuting nodded approvingly and said, "Although the Chamber of Commerce can announce it, my identity still needs to be kept secret. The profit from salt is too great, and I don't want to bring trouble to the Chamber of Commerce, so I'll be relieved if you go to Gongjing County in person."

"I understand." Lian Yue responded.

She was very clear about her young lady's abilities. If she really wanted to get involved in the salt business, there would be no place for Jiangnan Lian Chujun, and the title of the richest man would definitely be taken away.

Little did people know that it was Xie Shuting's way of giving others a way out that earned him an excellent reputation among private merchants.

Every shop has its own code of conduct, and the most important point is not to monopolize the market and to give others a way to survive.

One can never make enough money, especially in feudal society where the power of life and death was paramount. Everything she had could be gone in an instant.

"In addition, after the canal transportation is established, it will only be used to allocate materials for the Chamber of Commerce. It is not allowed to compete with the people of the canal gang for business. They are also poor people."

"Yes!~" Lian Yue responded.

The two discussed for a while, and Xie Shuting took a sip of the teacup and said softly, "I don't have anything to do here, just follow the strategy of previous years."

"The servant understands."

Lian Yue bowed and said, "Miss! Wang Lang could have attended the meeting this time, but he said that he had found what you asked him to find, so he went out to sea again in the middle of the year."

"found it?"

Xie Shuting asked with a delighted look on her face: "Where did you find it? Is it in Java or new here?"

"I don't know about this. He said to keep it a secret. This is what I said in private. Miss, don't let it slip when the time comes." Lian Yueman reminded with a smile.

"You...what are his plans?"

"According to Wang Lang's words, it should take another half month for them to reach the shore. Did I arrange for him to deliver the things to Laigu County or to the experimental fields in Jiangnan?"

The experimental field was set up after Xie Shuting founded the Lotus Building in order to increase grain production. Most of the people there are authentic farmers.

At first, after Xie Shuting explained the concept, the old farmers were not very convinced. But after Xie Shuting personally gave some advice and grafted cucumbers and winter melons, the old farmers became very interested.

Unfortunately, the taste is not very good, so they are still improving it. But if it is a year of great disaster, people who can eat Guanyin soil will have time to care about the taste.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuting asked excitedly: "How is the rice crop going? Has it met my expectations?"

Lian Yue shook her head and said, "No. The old farmer said that either the young lady's method is wrong, or the seeds are not good. But..."

"But what?" Xie Shuting frowned, and suddenly she felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

"But the old farmer said that it must be the seeds that are bad, because what the young lady says is never wrong, otherwise they wouldn't be able to grow a melon the size of a pot."

Xie Shuting My face was full of black lines, and the atmosphere that had just been created instantly fell to the bottom.

She also knew that this was difficult, because before she traveled through time in her previous life, she was a student at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

"Hey!~"

Xie Shuting sighed, and seeing that Lian Yue seemed a little depressed, she forced a smile and comforted him, "This matter cannot be accomplished overnight. It is normal to take some time."

"But...but Miss, it's been six years." Lian Yue lamented.

It’s not that she was reluctant to spend the money. Money was the last thing Lotus Tower lacked. It’s just that there had been no results, and she felt useless.

Xie Shuting patted Lian Yue's hand with a smile and said softly, "When Wang Lang comes back, you arrange for him to go to Baiyue."

"Why go to Baiyue?" Lian Yue couldn't help but ask.

"I have read in ancient books that the Champa rice of Baiyue grows very well. Perhaps we can find good rice seeds."

At this point, Xie Shuting changed the subject and said in a serious tone, "Yue'er! You have to remember that we only provide high-quality seeds. Don't interfere or urge us on technical matters. They know more than us."

"Yes, I understand." Lian Yue leaned over and responded.

"You! Sometimes you just worry too much."

Xie Shuting waved her hand in boredom and said, "Go and keep Lian Xi company. She has been missing you for a long time. If we don't meet today, I'm afraid we won't see each other again until next year. Thank you for your hard work."

"As long as the young lady is well, I dare not accept the word 'hard work'. I apologize." Lian Yue bowed and saluted, then pulled Lian Xi out of the room.

Seeing the two people leave the inner room, Xie Shuting couldn't help but cast her eyes on Li Shixian. The moment their eyes met, they already understood each other's thoughts.

"Yuanchen is just a few days away, why don't you go after the festival?"

Li Shixian slowly stood up after hearing this, walked to the window, looked at the white embankment and said, "No. It's too early to go. If the master is still here, there may be a great chance for us to meet."

"When do we leave?" Xie Shuting asked softly.

"When will you do your work?"

Xie Shuting knew what she was talking about, so she quietly took out the letter from her bosom, thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

"Then I will leave. With Chief Escort Xiang protecting you, it should be fine." Li Shixian said this and suddenly turned around to look at Xie Shuting.

Her pair of fiery eyes made Xie Shuting feel uncomfortable. If Li Shixian was not also a girl, Xie Shuting would have to teach her a lesson.
