Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 282 Arranging Personnel
Yang Wen didn't understand anymore, so he didn't dare to ask Xu Qing at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.He thought, the group of merchants wanted to buy immortal wine very hungry and thirsty, and also wanted to take the opportunity to meet Xu Qing, a noble person, so they must come as soon as they are called.

Yang Wen went to find old man Ni Bai, gathered all the large and small trucks in the mansion, and filled them with immortal wine.Seeing that the trucks were not enough, Xu Qing was moved and asked to keep sixty altars in the mansion.Thinking about it, if he went to Chang'an, he could give it to Lao Cheng as a gift.

After loading the car, Xu Qing and Yang Wen said, let the merchants wait there early in the morning tomorrow, but my master and I get up late, so let them wait until the evening before starting the auction.

Yang Wen said that he went back to Hongshan Town, and ordered his servants to go to various restaurants in Hongshan Town, and informed all merchants that Xu Qing was coming to hold an auction.

That night, the lights of restaurants in Hongshan Town were always on.

Everyone is asking, what is this auction, and how did "auction" and "sale" come together?But ask over and over, from this restaurant to the next restaurant, no one knows.In the end, someone with great powers asked the people around Yang Wen and got two pieces of information:

One piece of news is that the meaning of the auction is "the one with the highest price wins", and the other piece of news is that the immortal wine sold this time is a special offering in the palace. Outside the entire palace, only Xu Qing has [-] altars of private goods in his hands. .It will be sold early tomorrow morning.

Heavy news!

The news quickly spread to every corner of the restaurants in Hongshan Town, but now, no one is discussing what the auction means.Anyway, it's selling wine, what else can they do, and now everyone is talking about the wine to be sold this time.

What is the special offer of the palace, what is the three hundred altars, there is no other feeling, everyone just thinks that the price of wine this time must be much higher.However, according to "inside sources", it seems that Uncle Xu will come in person, and credibility should not be a problem.

The special offer mentioned in the news should be true, then the wine this time will really taste much better.The royal experience was a top-notch enjoyment in ancient times, but if you dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor in other places, you will lose your head.Wine, there is no such rule, merchants can't help touching their wallets, eager to try.

But most of the merchants guarding here can't do anything about it. After hearing the heavy news, they wish they could have the ability to transmit voices thousands of miles away, so they can discuss it with their employers.Thinking of the end, very few businessmen plan to spend a lot of money and bet on success or failure, most of them still think that they will wait and see.

The wind was blowing and the night was dark, Xu Qing sat alone in the room thinking.Now that the poisonous scorpion has been handed over to Huang Shimei, and the rest of the members of the Underworld are too busy, the standardization of the Underground has stopped here for the time being.

Xu Qing was thinking that as the economic backing of Luonan's future key development, it still needs a few people to guard here.Xu Qing searched the people around him: Yang Cheng, Yang Xin, Niu Chocao, and Wang Shan, these four people are like Xu Qing's right-hand men, and they are indispensable when they go out.

Xun Xiaoer and Xun Yeyu, one half-grown and the other immature, were embarrassed by the heavy responsibility.Zhang Linye is not bad, but his mind is too simple.Hey, why not let Xun Xiaoer and Zhang Linye form a partner?In addition to Liu San, Uncle Xun, Old Man Zheng, and Yang Wen, and Old Man Ni Bai can also be added, a total of seven people will be stationed in Luonan.

Zhang Linye brought a group of troops, which were Xu Qingming's private soldiers. They could be used to look after the house and guard the courtyard, and they could also add some manpower when he was busy.When you are free, you can stay in Hongshan Town, which can be regarded as deterring evil spirits who are about to make trouble in Hongshan Town.

There are also a few little people, such as Song Shoujie who was accepted in the quarterly examination in Cangzhou, and roe deer and others. Xu Qing also wants to put them in Luonan.Even if they follow Xu Qing to Chang'an, they won't be able to help them. It's better to train them in Luonan, and when they learn the skills and understand the 7 human relationships, it won't be too late to go to Chang'an.

There are many people around Xu Qing doing trivial things, but not many people doing big things.Four people, Niu Wang, Er Yang, are basically enough to do big things, and Xu Qing also has no shortage of odd jobs.This time I went to Chang'an, and there was another imperial examination. I don't know how many people will show their hospitality to Xu Qing.

Xun Xiaoer stayed in Luonan and could be Yang Wen's assistant.Listening to Yang Wen's tone in the past few days, he is very sure of Xun Xiaoer, and he is full of praise.Xu Qing thought, keeping him here is not a good use of his strengths.There is a saying that not only should we pay attention to the selection of talents, but also to the cultivation of talents.

Xu Qing cleared his mind, stretched his waist and went out for a walk. His house was big and well laid out, with one step for scene and one step for painting.Walking in the corridor, Xu Qing suddenly found that today's Bofu in Luonan County is different.On weekdays, at this night, everyone has come to rest, and they all hide in the room for activities, and other places are already dark.After Xu Qing came back, the lights within Sanmen were turned on until Xu Qing was sleeping.

But today, Xu Qing found that the lights outside the third door were also brightly lit. It was a little strange that Xu Qing walked outside unconsciously.

I saw three or five maids talking and laughing and walking away. Xu Qing stepped forward to ask, but the maids also found him, and hurriedly performed the Wanfu ceremony:

"master……"

Xu Qing raised his hand and asked: "Is there any major event in the mansion tonight? Why are the lamps lit everywhere, and you haven't returned to your room yet?"

The maidservants heard the words, thinking that Xu Qing blamed them for not returning home at night, that's what a dishonest woman would do.Xu Qing is their male master and possessor, so asking such a question is likely to be an accusation.So all the maidservants hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master Nibai made us do things because the master redeemed us."

Xu Qing was taken aback, shook his head and helped them up and said, "I don't blame you, don't always kneel."

The maidservants got up to thank you, Xu Qing asked again: "It's so late, isn't the family work done yet?"

The maidservants replied: "Father Ni Bai sees that the weather is better these days, and thinking that the New Year will be a few days away, there must be a lot of guests in the house, so he wants to kill a few fat pigs. Otherwise, there will be only bacon in the house and no fresh meat." Meat……"

Another servant girl smiled and said, "Hehehe, that's right, we all have food for killing pigs in the house. Father Ni Bai taught us to prepare things for killing pigs..."

Xu Qing suddenly realized that it was time to kill the New Year pig.In ancient times, there were no refrigerators. Except for meat sellers, most people only slaughtered pigs during the Chinese New Year. One was to use more meat, and the other was to keep it fresh at a low temperature.

Xu Qing also smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to eat pig-killing rice, so I'm going to get up early too, sir."

The maidservants laughed when they heard the words, Xu Qing waved them away.Following the lights, Xu Qing walked to the ground where the pigs were slaughtered.I saw firewood on the ground, a large pot, seven or eight ladders, and hooks.Xu Qing's family is large, has a lot of people, and kills a lot of pigs. After killing a pig, it is no easier than harvesting wheat in one day.I have everything ready today, and I can eat as soon as possible tomorrow.
