Datang Longya

Chapter 237 Brother-in-law, do you lack a concubine?
Leng Feng was afraid that something bad would happen to Liu Shuwen, so he patted Liu Shuwen and Liu Shuhan on the shoulders: "Let's go, let's go to the mansion and talk again, it's not good to hug and cry here for others to see!"

At this time, Liu Shuwen and Liu Shuhan separated, and the little girl Liu Shuya came over and tugged at Liu Shuwen's skirt: "Are you my sister too?"

Liu Shuwen couldn't squat down, so she could only rub Liu Shuya's head: "Yes, I'm your sister too. Be good, Shuya. From now on, you will have two older sisters to protect you. I will never let you go hungry or cold again."

"Yeah!" Liu Shuya nodded vigorously, then rubbed her head against Liu Shuwen's arm and said, "Elder Sister, I want to eat that ice cream again, but Eldest Sister won't let me eat it."

"Ahem~ha" Liu Shuwen smiled, and Liu Shuhan picked up Liu Shuya and followed Leng Feng into the Leng Mansion.

The girls needed their own space, so Leng Feng didn't care where Liu Shuwen and the others went to talk, but went to the bathtub to take a bath first.

Lao Li put Leng Feng's change of clothes by the bathtub, and said to Leng Feng in a low voice: "Master, you are not in Chang'an this year for the New Year, so the account books of various industries are reviewed by His Highness the Prince, His Highness the King of Wei, and His Highness the King of Shu. You see Do you want to watch it again?"

Leng Feng shook his head slightly: "I can still trust you and Lao Yuan, so I don't need to check it a second time. By the way, have the year-end award photos been issued yet?"

When the year-end bonus was mentioned, Lao Li laughed: "Haha, you didn't see the shocked eyes of those cooks when the year-end bonus was given out. Usually they complained that although the wages in Tianlou are generous, the work is too heavy. Once the year-end bonus is issued, Not a single complaint."

"Well, that's good, our Tianxialou is an industry of conscience, and we can't exploit our subordinates."

In later generations, when it comes to festivals, it is inevitable to broadcast stories about migrant workers being owed wages. Leng Feng does not want his company to become a "meat grinder" company that exploits its subordinates. Leng Feng established a rule when he established Tianxialou: if you have any dissatisfaction with your superiors, you can speak up directly.

Thinking about the mountain without snow, Leng Feng asked Lao Li again: "How is the grain purchase going?"

"It's almost the same. They were all transported from the central Sichuan and Jiangnan areas. Master, I shouldn't talk too much, but you ordered the old slave to buy grain from such a far away place. This is a loss-making business! Last year we Chang'an The harvest in the surrounding area is good, even ordinary people have most of the surplus grain in their homes, and if the grain cannot be sold, it can only be used to make wine. But even if we make wine together, we can’t use up so much grain!"

Leng Feng stuck his head in the water and held his breath for a while, and then said to Lao Li after getting out of the water: "This is a loss-making business. Although last year's harvest was good, the surplus food of the people can't support the autumn. What's more, this year is very difficult." There may be no more autumn queens."

"Ah?" Lao Li couldn't understand what the master was talking about. What do you mean there is no more autumn queen?
"Since I left Chang'an, how many times has it snowed around Chang'an in winter?"

"One, it's not too big, it was played during the final exam of the Academy of Arts, and it disappeared after five or six days."

"One game..."

Leng Feng thought of the folk proverb that "auspicious snow heralds a good year". Especially in ancient times, snow is more important to agriculture. Without heavy snow to kill insect eggs in the land, a plague of locusts is probably inevitable.

"How about the farm?"

Lao Li smiled wryly and said: "It's almost too much to keep. In the end, the old slave couldn't help but recruit people from other villages to help pick grass seeds. Look, now that the New Year is over, shall we kill some of them? Chickens, ducks, geese These poultry will not taste good after being kept for a long time."

"Kill?" Leng Feng glanced at Lao Li: "Kill you and catch the bugs yourself! There will be a big locust plague this year, and I still count on these guys to work! It won't be too late to kill them after they finish their work."

"Great locust plague?"

Lao Li was taken aback by the news. His family had planted land before, so he naturally knew what the locust plague meant—thousands of people, thousands of miles of bare soil!
Leng Feng patted Lao Li's big belly with his wet hands: "This is a good opportunity to accumulate fame, Lao Yuan and you two have earned a lot of money with me in the past two years. Money is something that you should not bring with you when you are born." What's the use if you don't take it with you when you die? It's better to follow me to prodigal and gain some reputation for the family."

Lao Li, who woke up like a dream after being taught by Leng Feng, nodded immediately. Reputation is not something that can be measured by money. Although he and Lao Yuan are now friends and powerful, they still rely on the face of Leng Feng as the master. Remove Leng Feng as his backer, and they will still be annoying businessmen, and duckweeds with unstable foundations.

How about taking this opportunity to "prodigal", spread wealth and gather reputation, and make a steady profit without losing money!

"Understood, master, do you see if the wine steaming workshop is about to stop? Wine making is really a waste of food!"

Leng Feng shook his head: "Don't stop, go tell Yu Chigong and his family in a while, don't sell the grassland hunger, hurry up and return some cattle and sheep, cattle and sheep are worthless in the grassland, but if they are brought to the mainland, they will be slaughtered to satisfy hunger Life-saving things. By the way, tell them about the locust plague, don’t tell the truth, just say I’m not sure.”

"understood!"

Lao Li carefully memorized all the things to do, and waited for Leng Feng to put on his clothes when Leng Feng came out.

Liu Shuwen, Liu Shuhan, and Liu Shuya were waiting at the door of the bathroom. Seeing Leng Feng coming out, Liu Shuhan took Liu Shuya and knelt heavily on the ground: "Brother-in-law cleared the Liu family's grievances, so that the father under the nine springs can also smile. report!"

Kowtow after speaking.

Leng Feng stopped the two of them, and said with a smile, "We're all a family, we don't report anything, let's go, you probably didn't have lunch either!"

Liu Shuhan just stood up and smiled at Leng Feng.

Lao Li prepared a sumptuous meal in the dining room. He knew that the master liked to talk during the meal. Seeing that the master and the mistress had nothing to talk about, he pretended to be curious and asked Leng Feng: "Master, this old slave listens to His Majesty the Crown Prince. It is said that the Liao people are very powerful, what elephants are there to help out, the old slaves and Lao Yuan are so frightened that they hurriedly raised military expenses for His Royal Highness, Prince Liu, but it was nothing after all, are the Liao people really that powerful?"

Leng Feng swallowed the balls in his mouth and said: "Actually, that old man Feng An was bragging about the power of Jingleisi's Jinglei Arrow and Jinglei. The other housekeepers have never seen it, but you have. Liaoren really There were elephants, but when the thunderbolt struck, they all ran away."

Under Leng Feng's narration, Lao Li seemed to have experienced a battle that was obviously very complicated.

Even Liu Shuhan looked at Leng Feng like a hero, especially when Leng Feng wanted to go out for a walk after eating, she took Leng Feng's hand and said:
"Brother-in-law, do you need a concubine?"

　Dream: to have a leader of my own
