[Plane] History of the struggle of the lords

Wen Run let go of his hands, unhurriedly straightened his clothes, glanced at Lu Tangchun, and unconsciously questioned, "Who is that?"

From the corner of the eye, he saw Lu Tangchun's pitiful appearance standing on the side. Wen Le felt a pain in his head. He didn't understand what was wrong with this young master of the Lu family. With a face of "we have a good relationship", he started to get close to himself crazily.The letters to Fuchun every month come rain or shine, and every time there is a thick stack.Although he always uses honorific titles in his letters, generally speaking, no subordinate will report to the leader what clothes he is wearing today, whether he is in a good mood or in a bad mood, right?

Wen Le didn't think he looked like a nanny. Although his affinity was really one of his strengths, it was a bit troublesome for someone like Lu Tangchun who was too involved in the drama.

Nowadays, Wen Le's business with the Lu family is not at a disadvantage. When facing Lu Tangchun, he didn't bother to make excuses. When explaining to Wen Run, he didn't want to hide anything, and his face was full of impatience: "Ask him yourself, what's the matter?" The guy is annoying."

Lu Tangchun didn't hear these words, he took a few steps on the spot, never leaving Wen Le's side for a moment, Wen Run combined with Wen Le's attitude, looked at him again, and understood something in his heart.

Oh, don't worry about it, it turned out to be an upside-down post.

He immediately restrained his hostility, put on a smile, and said to Lu Tangchun, "Is this young man calling my younger brother?"

"Brother?" Lu Tangchun's eyes lit up immediately, with a little hope, "Is your Excellency Mr. Wen's elder brother?"

Wen Run's beautiful eyes were bent, not inferior to Wen Le's disguise at all, it almost made Lu Tangchun think that the scare just now was just a shadow of himself.He was a little ashamed of his timidity, and immediately blushed in the face of Wen Run: "Under Lu Tangchun, he is the wife-in-law of Master Wei, the prefect of Lin'an. Speaking of which, you can still be a distant relative with Mr. Wen."

Wen Le was not happy listening to it, he pulled down the hem of Wen Run's clothes, and complained in a low voice: "Why are you talking so much with him, why don't you just send him away?"

Wen Run pressed his hand and held it in the palm of his hand, still talking to Lu Tangchun: "It turns out that he is a relative of my uncle. Mr. Lu is a good-looking talent, so my aunt is no less inferior. Mr. Lu and Le'er are friends?"

Lu Tangchun looked at Wen Le with yearning and forbearance, and replied in a low voice, "I treat Mr. Wen as a confidant. Brother Wen is coming to An'an for the first time, why don't I be the host and set up a banquet for you?"

After Wen Run asked, he probably had no interest in him. Of course, it was impossible to go to the welcome banquet, so he turned it down for any reason.

Lu Tangchun left resentfully, Wen Run stared at his lost back for a while, and was dragged back by Wen Le.As soon as he lowered his head, he found that Wen Le's face was more stinky than ever: "If you want to have dinner with him, hurry up and catch up with him. I still have to go to the jewelry store. I don't want to go to the welcome banquet."

Wen Run laughed loudly, hugged him, and held him up halfway before putting it down.He scratched Wen Le's nose and narrowed his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Le felt that he hated Lu Tangchun more and more since he was acquainted. This person was simply too ignorant, and he made his attitude so obvious that he wanted to pretend to be an acquaintance.After being made such a fuss by him, Wen Le's desire to visit Lin'an became much less serious, and she immediately took Wen Run to the jewels.

The treasurer of the jewels is from Lu's house, but Wen Le's staff is in charge of the accounts. At the end of each season, Lu's house will first check the account books for the accountant, and then send them to Fuchun for Wen Le to review.Some time ago, the dividends at the end of the year had just been paid, Wen Le had money in his hand, and he liked doing business even more, and he was selling himself to Wen Run before he even got to the store.

Wen Run found that there were quite a lot of people on this street, and most of the people who came and went were covered in silk and expensive. It was obvious that this was a high-end consumer area in Lin'an Prefecture, and it was close to the place that Wen Le mentioned. The flow of people was even denser. About a hundred meters away, he saw a huge, jeweled signboard standing across two floors.

There was a lot of people at the door of the store, and there was a special welcome team at the door to sort out the order. When Wen Le pulled Wen Run in and squeezed in, he was even accused and scolded.But the inside of the store is undoubtedly a little more empty than the outside, and the chairs near the jewelry counters are full of people. He only took a look, and someone came up to greet him softly: "My guest, what do you need?" ?"

Wen Le shook his head and said to him, "Is shopkeeper Lu in the store?"

The boy froze for a moment, seemed to recognize him, nodded slightly, and then quietly retreated towards the backyard. Not long after, shopkeeper Lu greeted him personally, and invited Wen Le upstairs without disturbing a few people.

"We can consider opening a branch." Wen Le was in a good mood when he saw the scene downstairs.

The shopkeeper was busy making tea and serving snacks for him, and at the same time taking care of Wen Run's insinuations. He immediately smiled when he heard this: "The master and my master really thought of it. The master just said a while ago that he wanted to talk to you We are discussing about opening a store."

Now that they were together, the two hit it off.Even though the shopkeeper went to invite Lu Changan, Wen Le didn't even eat lunch, so Wen Le discussed with Lu Changan about opening a branch there.

Those who have money but don't make money are fools. Lu Changan has been confined to Lin'an for so many years, so he must also want to develop outside.The location of the new store he was fancying was in Jinling, where gold powder and merchants gathered on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the business might not be as good as Lin'an, a treasure land.The business of the branch store is naturally not the way of Lin'an Prefecture. Wen Le provides raw materials for the store in Jinling, accounting for [-]% of the shares. The Lu family invests, forges, manages, and holds [-]% of the shares.He has no shortage of raw materials but lacks manpower, while the Lu family has a lot of hands but no good raw materials. As long as they provide jewelry, they don't need to worry about anything else. They can spend [-]% of their shares to hire a family of free laborers.Fortunately, Lu Changan also felt that he had made a profit, and the result was a win-win situation. The two decided that if the shops in Jinling received a good response in the future, they would open branches in all the prosperous cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wen Run listened strangely, he knew very little about business, he just listened in a cloud of fog to the two of you coming and going and deciding on such a labor-intensive business.He didn't know where Wen Le's so many jewels came from, after all, he knew how much he had brought back from overseas, but when Lu Changan was around, Wen Run didn't ignorantly disrupt the situation.

On the way back, when he asked this, Wen Le yawned and glanced at him: "Why are you asking this?"

Wen Run's doubts were suppressed for no reason.

After staying in Lin'an for a few days, Wen Le went to do his own business, and Wen Run also had acquaintances who needed to meet up to catch up. After the clothes were made, the two of them were almost done with their work, so they happened to return to Fuchun together.

These days, Kungfu Lonicera also counted the goods that Wen Run brought back. There are quite a lot of pearls and gems, but there are not as many gold sands as last time. On the contrary, there are some gold nuggets that were tried to be smelted.Wen Le didn't intend to transport all the treasures back to Fuchun. Now the overseas islands are his escape route. One day the emperor remembered that he came to prepare for the liquidation. After all, there was still a place for him to escape.Although the warehouses in the mall are also very safe, who knows if the mall will disappear one day for no reason?Putting eggs in one basket is too risky, and Wen Le usually has to add up more in order to survive.

In addition to the gold mine, there is also a silver mine that has just been mined on a nearby island, a mine that looks like a gold mine.These two discoveries are also a big fortune.As for the gems, they were exchanged by Wen Run from those who were moved.

This time, Wen Lian was left on the island by Wen Run and was not brought back. According to Wen Run, it was to keep an eye on some people on the island. Although he didn't understand what that elm head could do, since he decided to go to the island together next time, Wen Le didn't go into too much detail.After counting the goods, he selected good pearls and sent them to Webster, and the other useful ones were sent to the warehouse. The raw jewelry was directly shipped to Lin'an after registering the value.

……

Wu Yingcai's illness is actually not difficult for Wen Le to treat. After the upgrade, there are more shops selling medicines in the mall. After he explained the type of things he wanted on the forum, sellers soon contacted him Without him, the same potion is much cheaper than before without upgrading.

Others who were unwilling to stay, Wen Le also threw them to Lin'an early on. Most of the remaining families sold off the gold and silver they brought after their illnesses were cured, and rented a small house in the city. The husband goes to work in the shipyard and the wife subsidizes such a life in the weaving workshop.Wen Le has no spare energy to manage them for the time being.

Wen Le's head hurts when he listens to stereotyped essays. In the end, Wen Run went to do the job of testing Wu Yingcai's skills. After Wen Run came back, he was still amazed at Wen Le's luck. He admired him, and soon, Fuchun's first public school was built.

Fuchun's population is not enough, so Wen Le will try to make the most of these limited population.

Knowledge is the greatest power, and it can be seen that Dala is ahead of other relatives of the Da family when they are both farmers.Learned people often think about problems more comprehensively and in detail. A master who can read and write in the yamen earns five taels of silver a year. After a year, the population of several households worked hard to grow crops, and after their own stomachs were full, they added the sideline of raising chickens and pigs, and it was rare to earn a tael of silver a year. Isn't the master just able to write a few words?Knowledge is money!

The scale of the school is not small, and the decoration is also surprising. The desks and blackboards are all incomprehensible. It was a good word for the year, and after a few days of getting used to it, I was willing to change my mouth and praise it as a good thing.The advantage of centralization of power is the convenience of dictatorship. Fu Chun’s other two Shushu were banned by him with a wave of his hand, and two half-bottled gentlemen were merged into the newly built Shushu, and their level was used to teach the Three Character Classic. The text or something is passable.Because of their joining, the burden on Wu Yingcai's shoulders has been lightened. The school is divided into two areas. The two new gentlemen can teach some children who have no basic knowledge. Most of the people here are learning some simple knowledge. After that, they will be satisfied, and the remaining few people will stay for Wu Yingcai to teach carefully.In addition, there are some leisurely civil servants in the yamen. Their salaries are low. Wen Le asked them to spare ten days a month to arrange their own rotations. At the end of the year, you can get an allowance of two taels of silver.

There are a lot of poor people in Fuchun, and with his order, the people in the yamen also found something to do.Rather than sitting idle, most people would be more than happy to earn some extra perks.

The population of Fuchun is registered by local governments. Currently, Wen Le can only set up trial camps in county towns, and Wen Le will hand over the work of registering the right-age population to the bottom.It wasn't that he didn't want to ask personally, but an unexpected news interrupted his orderly work plan.

The old lady went.

At the beginning, Wen Run's subordinates first passed the news to Fuchun, and after about ten days, most of the funeral teams also delivered the news to Fuchun's post, and the visitors almost fled Fuchun in a hurry without even taking a sip of tea. He was afraid of ruining his precious little life in this place.

Wen Le has no feelings for the old lady, and Wen Run doesn't have a deep impression of the other members of the Wen family except Sanfang. Le didn't want to go, and Wen Run had the same idea as him, not to mention that now that Wen Lian was not in Fuchun, it didn't make sense for the three brothers to go to only two of them.

But after all, the person they are most worried about is Webster. It is hard to say whether Webster's 24-year-old daughter-in-law can be in the same camp as them.Even Wen Run, who expressed that he didn't want to go, still had to prepare for it when the time came, not to mention Wei Shi, a great lady who had never brainwashed Wen Le from the beginning to the end.Sure enough, as soon as the news reached Fuchun, Wen Le saw Lonicera rushing over in the government office, and said that the old lady had been crying in her room for nearly an hour.

Wen Le has nothing to do with Webster, and he has nothing to do with tears. The two together are like Mount Tai, making him surrender immediately.

But having said that, it was his biological grandmother, Wen Le and the others would not be able to justify not being there, so he felt that it was easier to accept it, but before leaving, he still needed to arrange many things in Fuchun City.

He will not take away most of the manpower, such as Zheng Rui and the others, they need to stay in Fuchun to research and produce artillery.Hearing that he was going to Dadu, Zheng Rui handed over the family members of the brothers in the team who stayed in Fuchun the next day. In addition, he also brought a new season of improved gunpowder. The fuse is stronger and more lethal. He, Wen Le opened his mouth for the first time, and promised him to bring everyone back.

He almost doesn't need to take care of the farm affairs, other than agricultural affairs, but after more than a year of experience accumulation, Dala and the others have already had a considerable concept of rice planting in their hearts, because they are worried It was a long time, so Wen Le set a similar time for sowing early rice with them in advance. This year, Dala circled a test field and planned to sow in another month, trying to find out whether the technology of three-crop rice can be found. Wen Le is only worried He will focus all his energy on this, but ignore the most important rice fields.

Mai Lingtong came in handy at this moment, he was more prudent than Dala in doing things, and he was able to keep an eye on Dala's work progress when Wen Le was away.

The most important matter of road construction, Wen Le handed it over to the magistrates of various counties and counties. In order to improve the economy under his rule as soon as possible, the county officials are afraid that they will be more concerned about this matter than Wen Le , After deciding where to go for Lizhou's dried flowers and fresh fruits in the coming year, after much deliberation, Wen Le couldn't find anything that would cause him a headache.

He doesn't plan to take Yong'er to Dadu, but he should be more at ease if he stays in Fuchun. Most of the servants and maids brought by Dadu in the past also stayed, and they now have their own careers.It just so happened that they stayed in Fuchun, and they could take care of Yong'er more thoughtfully.

At the beginning, Webster wanted Yong'er to go with him. Wen Le told her about the fatigue of traveling all the way from Dadu last time, and told her that this trip was more hurried than last time, and she was persuaded , and I don't want to let my child suffer that kind of crime again.

Because she doesn't go out often, Wei Shi doesn't know how much Fuchun has changed today. Although the officials and family members who usually come to accompany her to enjoy the flowers and drink wine all praise her for Wen Le's wisdom, but they are proud of her. Besides, Webster still didn't take it all seriously. At most, she found that she had a little more money, and the roads in the county town were a little tidier. Others, on the surface, were not discovered so quickly.

When leaving the city, the city wall, which has changed a lot from when she first came to Fuchun, attracted her attention. She frowned and asked inexplicably, "How do I remember that the city wall was not as thick as it was built back then?"

Not only is it thicker, but it has also been raised, and the edge has also been sloped, making it impossible for people to climb up.Wen Le was proud of herself, and she didn't reveal anything: "Mom probably remembers wrong, right?"

Webster frowned, pressed his forehead and sighed: "Oh, I am old, do you think I am suffering from hysteria, and I think the carriage is not so bumpy anymore."

Wen Le and Wen Run looked at each other in dismay, changed the subject by coincidence, and began to gossip about her parents.

The journey this time is quite different from the last time. Last time, in order to recuperate his body, Wen Le tried his best to slow down the pace of the team. For the funeral, the group had no choice but to hurry towards Dadu.This is the shortcut chosen by the crown prince in order to succeed to the throne.When passing through Lin'an, Lu Tangchun ran into them again at the pier, and originally intended to treat them to a meal, but when he heard that the old lady was there, she immediately blushed and ran away in a hurry, not knowing why. .

When passing Jinling, Wen Run didn't know why his mood fell into a slump for a while. Unless Wen Le took the initiative to make fun of him, he could hardly see his iconic smile all day long.Fortunately, after passing that period of time, he quickly returned to normal. He walked very quickly this way, and when he arrived in Dadu, it was not yet the end of the year.

Dadu is different from when they left.Maybe it's no different for Wen Run, but for Wen Le, the change is really a bit big.When he first came to this era, it coincided with the national mourning, and white silk was hung in front of every house to express his condolences.Of course, the white silk was uniformly issued by the yamen.After the old emperor passed away, for quite a long time most of the people were forbidden to gather, drink and have fun. Even the people had to avoid the previous month for weddings. The streets were even more deserted, with no one around. It is as prosperous as people say.

Not long after Wen Le stayed there, he was forced to leave Dadu to go to Fuchun. Although the towns he saw along the way were not as big as Dadu, they were more lively, such as Lin'an and other big cities. Mostly more prosperous places.

But now that he was able to do it all over again, he realized that it was not unreasonable for businessmen all over the world to sharpen their heads and want to go to Dadu.

Every day, the people from the surrounding areas who come to buy and sell goods in the surrounding areas wait outside when the city gate is not opened in the early morning. When the city gate opens, sometimes there are large queues of hundreds of people.Wen Le took the official road, so he could pass through it faster than ordinary people, but even so, they had to toss for half an hour to go because of the queue.

The name of the Wen family is not easy to use under the feet of the emperor.

When they were halfway through the queue, they jumped into a convoy at the back. There were three carriages in this convoy, and there were probably women's relatives in them. Not only Wen Le's convoy, but many teams in the front were preempted by them.Because of the turbulence when he was cut in line, Wei Shi was awakened by the turbulence in his deep sleep, Wen Le was upset, and wanted to go out to find the other party's bad luck, but Wen Run grabbed him.

"It's the convoy of the Prince of Jianjun's Mansion. I recognize the driver at the front. The person sitting in it is probably the Princess of Jianjun who came back from outside the city. No matter how bad it is, she is also a side concubine. Bear with me."

Wen Le opened the curtain of the car and poked his head out, and sure enough, he found that the convoy didn't even conduct routine interrogation when it passed the city gate, and just swaggered and squeezed everyone before passing.Many carriages in front of Wen Le and the others still parked there quietly, as if they hadn't been robbed of their way at all.

Wen Le's heart skipped a beat, did King Jianjun actually have such great power after the new emperor ascended the throne?

Even these people who came down from the official path had to turn a blind eye and close their eyes to sell their face, which was somewhat different from the way Wen Le had guessed before that the brothers of the Tian family got along.

He looked at Wen Run, wanting to get a few words of explanation from him, but found that Wen Run's eyes had become extremely complicated since then.He just smiled hesitantly at Wen Le, but he didn't say much after all.

The carriage followed the road it came from and sped through the city, and soon turned into the secluded north of the city. The gate of the Wen family was directly opposite the road. From a distance, Wen Le saw the white funeral flowers flying on the plaque, Inside the courtyard wall, there was a faint sound of mourning music.

Webster could no longer bear the melancholy along the way, and began to cry bitterly covering his face.Wen Le glanced at her helplessly, and squeezed her eyes, revealing a pair of red eye sockets——
