The daily life of the bandits in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155
"Report." Li Xianrou stood at the door and shouted awkwardly.

The people in the meeting room all looked at her with unanimous eyes, and with a 'whoosh', their faces were hot.

Even though she was 30 years old, she couldn't help being so embarrassed, and raised her hand to cover her forehead.

Chu Yang looked at her rising and falling chest, and her flushed cheeks.

"Stand at the door and rest for a while."

Then he turned his head and looked at Zheng Jide, "Continue talking."

Zheng Jide, who was standing, continued to bow his head and said: "Currently, wine sales are booming. 2 taels of health wine have already sold for 5 taels, the income from equity sales has reached 6500 taels of silver, and the income from wine sales has reached [-] copper coins."

"Yes, this result is very good." Chu Yang picked up the tea and nodded in satisfaction.

At present, Mingyue Village only sells alcoholic beverages, and the rest are agricultural and sideline products in the village. However, the agricultural and sideline products have not been sold much in the past few months. They are mainly supplied to the workers' lives, but the debt that should be settled is still over. .

"By the way, there is one more thing." He took a sip of water and put down his teacup.

"Why do we use pigskin for military boots? Sheepskin is not durable. Originally, it was made of cowhide, but now that the entire Tang Dynasty is short of cows, cowhide must not work."

"Cao Wang, on the animal husbandry side, you should think of a way to raise more beef cattle. We need to meet the needs of food and leather at the same time."

"There are also farm cattle that need to be raised more intensively, and the cowshed should be kept warm in winter."

"You can't let me freeze to death."

Chu Yang's last words were very serious.

A country, no matter how developed it is and how good its economy is, agriculture is the foundation, and the lifeblood of survival must be firmly in its own hands.

"Village Master, don't worry." Cao Wang stood up and vowed.

Chu Yang nodded, and then looked at Heihu: "Boss Heihu, the three of you will mention the style of the winter military uniform to Boss Zheng, and I won't participate."

"It's the leader."

Chu Yang glanced at Li Xianrou who was still at the door, then turned to look at the people in the meeting room.

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. Heihu will stay here for a while, and the rest of the meeting will be dismissed."

When Chu Yang called for the meeting to end, Zhao Quan led the way out of the room first. None of these people dared to make fun of Li Xianrou. If they became the village owner's wife, they would be embarrassing themselves. On the contrary, they would comfort her.

Zhao Quan was at the front, so he must have spoken first.

"Mrs. Li, don't worry, it's fine, the owner of the village is fine."

"Yeah, it's not a big deal."

Everyone was comforting Li Xianrou, but Chu Yang pulled Heihu aside, and said, "I went to Hou Sui, did you arrange someone secretly?"

"Captain, you know all about it."

"Nonsense, let me ask you, who is the man in the dark commanding?"

"Why are you dissatisfied with the village master? I will go back and dismiss him."

"Nothing." Chu Yang shook his hand, and then told Hei Hu what happened in Xiazhou City.

After hearing this, Hei Hu said, "What the leader means is, let me ask if Zhi Huan paid attention to that scholar?"

"Yes, I think this scholar is not easy, you send someone to investigate carefully."

"It's the leader."

After Heihu finished answering, Chu Yang leaned closer to his ear and whispered:
"Also, after you go back, go to Warehouse No. [-]. I will put the equipment used by the garment factory and textile factory there, and you will send someone to transport it there tomorrow. When it comes to transport, you should tell Zheng Jide and let him arrange it."

These devices are all made of wood, and only a few necessary parts are made of iron, such as the needles of the sewing machine. It is very advanced.

After listening to Chu Yang's instructions, Hei Hu nodded: "Good team leader."

"Okay, go get busy and call Mrs. Li in for me."

"It's the leader."

When Li Xianrou heard Heihu's words, she tremblingly leaned towards Chu Yang, and said obediently:

"Villager, I overslept, sorry."

"It's okay, did you have something on your mind that delayed your sleep?" Chu Yang looked at Li Xianrou with a smile and said softly.

"No, it's just that I've been too busy recently, so I overslept." She looked at Chu Yang and smiled slightly, her neck was itchy, just like the feeling of being breathed out last night.

"Well, I thought it was, I was arguing with you last night about Qiu Yunzheng."

"I was asleep at that time, and I didn't hear the noise upstairs." She blushed a little, her eyes wandered up and down.

When Chu Yang saw her like this, she was lying, and there were big loopholes in her words.

"It's good if you didn't hear it, otherwise it will be hard for you. It's really comfortable at the latest, Mrs. Li, you must know how to enjoy life, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and don't treat yourself badly."

"Master, I know my affairs, you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay, when the time comes, I've decided to invite me to dinner. I prefer to eat Shaobai, so you want to invite me to eat Shaobai."

Chu Yang spoke seriously, and after he finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and licked it around.

His tongue could easily reach the tip of his nose. Back then in the village, when he was drinking tremella and red date soup, he could reach the bottom of the cup and roll up the red dates. It was too childish for him to touch the tip of his nose.

Li Xianrou heard Chu Yang's words, it turned out that Zhao Quan and the others did not lie to her, and there was really nothing wrong, so she became more courageous.

"Okay, then I will treat you to eat, I will eat you to death, if you don't eat, I will let you eat."

"What a foodie."

At this moment, Chu Yang showed a mysterious smile, "It's a deal."

Li Xian gave Chu Yang an unhappy look, and stopped answering.

Seeing Li Xianrou's appearance, Chu Yang put away his smile and said solemnly:

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, let's go back to Chang'an in the afternoon, let's go together."

"I'm not with you, I know what you're thinking."

"My idea is to take advantage of you and not get pregnant. There's nothing to be afraid of. If a handsome man like me takes advantage of you, you won't suffer," Chu Yang argued.

"Forget it, I still have something to do in Jingzhou, so I won't be with you."

"Okay then, I'm going back to eat, do you want to come together?" Chu Yang looked at her and asked again.

"No, you can eat yours." Li Xianrou turned her head aside.

She dare not look at Chu Yang now, she is afraid that Chu Yang will take advantage again.

Seeing that she didn't let go, Chu Yang let it go. After he left, he walked towards the living area alone.

At this time, in the living room on the second floor, my mother-in-law and others were sitting at a round table full of food, eating, and the food was delivered by the inn.
As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Concubine Yang looked at him.

"Chu Yang, come and eat."

"Okay, I'm just hungry." He walked over with a smile.

"Then come and sit down and eat." Concubine Yang said again.

She is facing the stairs, while her mother-in-law Gao is facing away from the stairs, and there are only two vacant seats next to the mother-in-law.

After Chu Yang sat down, he realized that his mother-in-law was next to him, which made him a little embarrassed.

I haven't explained what happened last night, but there is no need to explain.

What's the use of explaining?Anyway, the image has been destroyed.

He took a sneak look at his mother-in-law, and found that her mother-in-law seemed to be fine, so he was relieved.

After eating, Chu Yang told everyone about Yang Wanwei in front of everyone.

But everyone didn't say anything, but the eldest grandson Wugou said a few words, and told them immediately if he fell in love with a woman in the future, it was not to prevent him from finding a woman, but to find a woman who would help him, especially You can't find that kind of vicious woman.

After the meal, Chu Yang asked his eldest grandson Wugou, his mother-in-law and others to go back to Mingyue Village first. Gao Mingyue was the happiest, she was thinking about the little monkey in her heart.

I don't know how old the little monkey is.

After arranging these things, Chu Yang took Mang Wazi on the boat to Chang'an, and there were only the two of them.

On the second floor of the passenger ship, in a certain room, Chu Yang and Mang Wazi were sitting on the step by the window, drinking some wine, and there was a plate of peanuts on the low table on the step.

Chu Yang dropped a peanut in his mouth, "Let's leave the wool and sheepskin to Zheng Jide."

"Pay it." Mang Wazi took a sip of his wine.

"Where are the herdsmen, have they gone back?"

"No, this trip made them a lot of money, and they plan to purchase some goods to return to Housui."

It is true that these people have made money. The wool and sheepskin costs 10 guan per car, and the transportation fee is 3 guan.

With so much money at once, you will definitely have to spend it. It is normal to go to the brothels in Anding City and find cheap girls to play with. It is also a good plan to buy some goods and ship them back to sell.

Chu Yang picked up his wine glass and touched Mang Wazi.

"Where is the big buck tooth, have you arranged it?"

The two took a big sip and smashed their mouths.

"I handed it over to Zheng Bing. He has already arranged for people to train in Anding City with big buck teeth. Wally Master, what do you think of my arrangement?"

"It's okay, when we go to Jiangdu and come back, we can take him back to the cottage."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of stewed pig's ear into his mouth.

Mang Wazi raised his hand and wiped the grease on his mouth, "Village Master, do you want to go to Jiangdu with Big Baoya?"

"He won't go. This time we will go to Jiangdu quickly and come back quickly after finishing the work, but we have to avoid Li Er's eyes and ears. If he finds out, it will be a little troublesome."

With the thinking ability of a mangwazi, he couldn't understand Chu Yang's worry at all. In his heart, Chu Yang was a god.

Only Chu Yang himself knew that the trip to Jiangdu was full of dangers, and his martial arts were high, but the flesh on his body could still be cut with a knife.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the chill has spread in the rivers and mountains.

The chill made the world much quieter, and the water of the Jing River became clearer. The boat that Chu Yang was riding on made ripples in the water of the Jing River.

At this moment, Chu Yang was leaning on the window with one hand, holding the wine glass in the other, looking at the clear river water and the swaying aquatic plants, and from time to time, he could see herrings swimming in the bottom.

The reckless boy opposite him was already leaning against the window, sleeping with his head raised and silk spitting out of his mouth.

Seeing how Mangwazi could eat and sleep, he let out a long sigh.

'Ugh! '

It was not Chu Yang's original intention to fight for power and profit. He prefers a leisurely life, fishing when he has nothing to do.

Until now, he still hasn't figured out why the rod would hit the high-tension line when he was fishing, and he would be electrocuted instantly.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up from the step, walked up to Mangwazi, stretched out his hand, and patted Mangwazi's face, which made Mangwazi's greasy face tremble.

"Boy, get up, we've arrived."

"What? Are you in the underworld?" Mang Wazi hurriedly got up.

After Chu Yang heard this, he glared at Mang Wazi.I don't know what kind of dream I had, I felt like I was in the underworld.

"Ready to disembark."

Mang Wazi stretched out his eyes and softened his eyes, "Good village master, hiccup!"

After speaking, he burped.

After getting off the boat, Chu Yang let Mang Wazi go to the inn, while he walked towards the palace.

Originally, Mangwazi followed, but Chu Yang didn't agree. He would not be of much help if he went, and it would increase the risk of exposure for Chu Yang.

This time when Chu Yang came to Chang'an, he not only wanted to see Yang Wanwei, but he also drove the glider back to the village, where it couldn't charge the battery, and the longer it was left on, the power would decrease and it would be very troublesome to get it back to the village.

Now it is very easy for him to enter the palace, it can be said with ease.

Chang'an, Yeting Palace
In a shabby house, under the dim light, there were five or six children lying on the bed, the youngest was only one year old.

They are all little girls, the children of Li Laosan, and the boys have all been killed.

At this time, Yang Wanwei was coaxing the children to sleep. She was sitting by the bed, holding a well-turned doll book in her hand, and reading stories to the children.

This doll book was given by Chu Yang when he came last time, and the stories in the book are all about small animals.

Yang Wanwei also likes these stories very much. If there is any warmth in this bleak life, it is the appearance of Chu Yang and the stories in this book.

Sometimes she would think about anything, if she could, she would also like to become a little animal in this fairy tale.

Children listen to these stories just for fun, but Yang Wanwei is different, she yearns for more things.

Through the stories in these doll books, Yang Wanwei knows the light, the pursuit of life, and the belief in changing life.

She didn't want to stay in Ye Ting Palace for the rest of her life, but she couldn't get out of this cage. She thought about Chu Yang's help, but is that man sure to be reliable?

She didn't dare to gamble.

Even if that man is willing to help himself, what about these children?Let them fend for themselves?
Obviously she couldn't.

According to her temperament, if she didn't decide on something, she wouldn't do it.

Just like this time, the snacks were eaten early and the children were chasing after them every day, but she was still hesitating whether to see Chu Yang or not.

Although Chu Yang would chat with her every now and then, she still didn't know much about Chu Yang. She didn't know if getting close to this man would bring disaster to her children.

In the daily torture of thoughts and inspired by fairy tales, she still decided to contact Chu Yang. In the current situation, only Chu Yang could help her.

She felt that the two of them could get to know each other better. If Chu Yang was reliable, he would take the children and leave this place, but the premise was that the man accepted the children.

"Mother, hurry up and talk, why did you stop?" A four-year-old girl said while holding Yang Wanwei's arm.

She was in no mood to tell a story tonight, and stopped while she was talking.

The little girl has reminded her many times.

"Ah, I'm sorry, my mother was distracted just now." Yang Wanwei came back to her senses, picked up her phone and checked, but there was still no news.

Did he forget?
