Blood from Daming

Chapter 746 Look at Xue Zhuang

The next day (24th) Xue Yun got up very early. The reason was that although he had an affair with Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, and Yingchun last night, the four of them ended within three o'clock. After venting, the desire has been greatly relieved, so she fell asleep beautifully with her arms around Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, and Yingchun.

Xue Yun and Ms. Chen came to the secret room. Xue Yun asked Ms. Chen about the recent situation in the capital. In addition to the secret camp that Ms. Chen had mastered, another main source of information about the capital was Baishengtang. Baishengtang Qin Zhehua relied on Xue's family Qiancai is already at the top of the dark forces in the capital; while listening to Ms. Chen's explanation, Xue Yun was looking at the recent information on the dark camp, and at this time, he happened to see the report from Shopkeeper Du of {Sanjiang Huitong}.

Xue Yun said: "Madam, take your notes."

Ms. Chen agreed, picked up the brush on the inkstone, and Xue Yun said: "The Kaifeng and Luoyang branches of {Sanjiang Huitong} will not be opened for the time being, and the authority of the Cangzhou branch will be delegated to Brother Wu. Besides management and operation, Xue Yun will , and everything else is in the charge of Cangzhou Daying.”

Ms. Chen asked, "Sir, is our Xue family really in danger now?"

Xue Yun said: "The new emperor is not easy. We have to plan ahead. Wu Hui and Mei Xiang are just housewives. The burden on your shoulders is not light."

Ms. Chen said: "Master, from Xuezhuang to Cangzhou, and then retreat to the Hongjiazhai of Zhangde Mansion via Daming Mansion, or go straight to Hangzhou Mansion, I have a plan, but Grandpa refuses to leave Xue Mansion in the capital."

Xue Yun said: "Ma'am, there are those people in the Xue residence in the capital now."

Ms. Chen said: "It's just grandpa and some family servants. By the way, the third aunt proposed a few days ago that she wanted to go back to the city for the New Year."

Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Yes, but after the new year, let the third aunt live in Zhuangzi, and then find a way to coax the third aunt to go to Hangzhou Mansion to see Yunxi. I will do the ideological work of grandpa, and you will persuade me more in the future. Grandpa, if you receive an evacuation letter with six chicken feathers painted on it, don’t worry about where Grandpa is.”

Miss Chen's heart trembled when she heard what Xue Yun said, she opened her mouth and said nothing, Xue Yun thought for a while and said: "Madam, you just need to remember one thing, once the prisoner enters the capital, it's time for Xue Zhuang to evacuate. At that time, the imperial court will definitely shut down the entire capital, and no one will be particularly concerned about Xue Zhuang's evacuation."

At this time, Wu Hui asked to see her outside the secret room, saying that the mistress had come, and Xue Yun was about to find time to go to the mistress's place, but she didn't expect the mistress to come by herself, which made Xue Yun feel a little ashamed, so he immediately left the secret room to follow Wu Hui to see the mistress , Ms. Chen was intrigued and did not leave the secret room.

Mistress just came to see Wu Hui and Xue Yao, she didn't expect Xue Yun to return to Little Xuezhuang, Xue Yun sneaked back to the capital, there must be something important, Xue Yun just told Mistress that Master will return to the capital at the beginning of next month, Mistress is right for Master to return to Beijing She was very concerned, but she asked about Xue Yun's situation in the past two years, and in the end, his wife signaled Wu Hui to leave.

Mistress asked: "Yun'er, what's the matter with you coming back to the capital this time?"

Xue Yun knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told his wife about the treasure that Wei Zhongxian said, and she immediately expressed her willingness to go to the palace with Xue Yun to get the treasure. It was too risky to enter the palace, Xue Yunyi waited for his master to go to the palace to fetch treasures, and politely declined the proposal made by his wife.

Mistress knew what Xue Yun meant, so she didn't mention the matter of entering the palace with Xue Yun, but instead asked about Xue Yun's cousin: "Yun'er, how is your matter with your cousin Xu?"

Xue Yun told his wife that he hadn't seen his cousin for more than two years, and the teacher said: "Yun'er, this year your cousin came to my wife's place three times, and she sighed when she mentioned you. The girl is in her early twenties, so I can't delay any longer." Go down, next time you encounter Kuai Dao Zhan Ran Ma and take her down."

Xue Yunxin said that Cousin Xu had met Yan Sanniang last year, and she was still working wholeheartedly for Mingjiao, and she used joining Mingjiao as a condition for marrying herself. After this incident, Xue Yun's perception of Cousin Xu was much worse. Now, when I hear the young man talk about Cousin Xu, I can also feel that Cousin Xu has no more love for me, but I am a debt of love. If Cousin Xu can't be lowered, I can only live up to Cousin Xu's love.

At noon, Xue Yun took Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang, and Yingchun to accompany his wife for dinner. The teacher was very happy to see that Xue Yun had accepted another girl. She encouraged Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang, and Yingchun to work harder and strive for more births and early births. My son, let's spread the branches and leaves for the "Xue" family.

After lunch, my wife insisted on leaving Xiao Xue Zhuang, no matter how Xue Yun tried to keep her. The reason for my wife was that I didn't want to disturb Xue Yun's formal meeting with Miss Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang, and Yingchun. Xue Yun had no choice but to let my wife go. , Xue Yun was delayed by the arrival of his mistress, so he gave up the idea of ​​moving around the capital first, and decided to go directly to the palace to explore the secrets of the treasure.

Because Xue Yun returned to Beijing secretly to handle business, Xue Si also kept the matter strictly confidential. People in charge of Xuezhuang, such as Wang Xiucai, Xue Siyuan, and Xue Dahan, did not know that all the people living in Xiaoxuezhuang were women, and it was also a very closed place. In such an environment, after Xue Yun came back, the guards were strengthened, so people could not go in and out, and there were very few maids and servants who knew Xue Yun's identity, so Xue Yun didn't worry about leaking the news.

In the afternoon, Wu Hui was practicing horseback riding. Xue Yun followed her on the wall of the village and recognized at a glance that it was her former favorite yellow pussy horse. Looking at the steady pace of the yellow pussy, Xue Yun felt that its injuries should be completely healed. Xue Yun Huang Puma has a deep affection, and I am happy for him, hoping that he will spend his life with Wu Hui safely.

Ms. Chen beside Xue Yun is introducing the changes in Xuezhuang, big and small. Xuezhuang’s sideline business, such as chickens, ducks, fish, geese and pigs, is enough for the whole village to have enough food and clothing, but food cultivation still cannot meet the needs. Hundreds of people have been relocated from Hangzhou Mansion, but with the expansion of Xuezhuang's transportation team, the number of people selected is now more than that Xue Yun left, and it is about 1000 people.

The entire Xuezhuang has completed the old house renovation project, and all the residents of Xuezhuangzhuang have moved into their new homes. The market and warehouses in the direction of the west gate are perfectly built, and it is also the largest commercial distribution center in the capital. Ms. Chen basically controlled the large amount of money in and out of {Xue Ji Silk Cloth}{Sanjiang Huitong}{Xinghua Restaurant}.

Ms. Chen's large amount of money transactions with {Xue Ji Silk Cloth}{Sanjiang Huitong}{Xinghua Restaurant} are completely controlled in the Xuezhuang trading market, and the profits of {Xueji Silk Cloth}{Sanjiang Huitong} are settled monthly, {Xinghua For a place like a restaurant that doesn't need cash flow, Ms. Chen has implemented a half-monthly settlement. Shopkeeper Chen, Shopkeeper Du, and Bao Guanshi have not expressed dissatisfaction, and even grandfather Xue Rui has not come out to object.

Xue Yun looked at the prosperous scene of people coming and going on the streets outside Zhuangzi, and Miss Chen said: "Sir, it is the off-season, and they are all merchants who buy a small amount of goods or come to pick up the goods. If the goods of Xue's caravan When it arrives, the entire commercial street of Xuezhuang will be cut off by merchants and tourists traveling from north to south."

Xue Yun said: "How effective is the business street?"

Ms. Chen said: "The commercial street started to become popular in the second half of last year, and all the investment can be recovered by the end of this year. Every year, I just sit and count money."

Xue Yunxin said that it is no wonder that Uncle Si, Miss Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang and Zhuang Min are unwilling to leave Xue Zhuang. Now that they live a comfortable life and have more valuable altars and pots, it seems that their plan to transform poverty alleviation back then is beginning to have side effects. Ah, once you've lived a stable life, tell them how dangerous it is, and they won't believe it too much.

Xue Yun said: "Ma'am, there are too many people in the commercial street. You should pay attention to the collusion between the customers and the people in the village. There are also merchants who rent the commercial street. They may be spies from the royal court or other forces. You must pay more attention to them." .”

Ms. Chen said: "My lord, no collusion with outsiders has been found in the village, but there are a few tenants who are sneaky. Xuezhuang's secret camp strictly monitors these shops."

Xue Yun said: "Madam, it seems that the market is going to be dispersed."

Ms. Chen said: "It should be a scattered market. In fact, some merchants came to pick up the goods. Some merchants bought the goods from our Xue family, and the goods were stored in Xuezhuang, and then resold the goods. It is not necessary to pick up the goods. , Xue Zhuang's goods have long been sold out, and most of these pick-ups are transported back to the capital for retail sales."

Xue Yunxin said that Xue Zhuang's warehouse management has a reputation scale, and it is a pity to lose the market of Xue Zhuang, but the situation is stronger than others, let's take a step and see, Jianlu's entry into the customs is a hurdle for Xue Zhuang, even if he can escape the court How could little Xue Zhuang survive in front of Jianlu's cavalry at this level.

Xue Yun looked at the fortifications of Xuezhuang. It was solid but very strong. It is a pity that Xuezhuang has no depth. The red-clothed cannons on both sides can cover the entire Xuezhuang. There are not enough armed men in the village to allocate to each village. Huang Taiji knew that Xue Zhuang belonged to him, so it was too dangerous. It seemed that he still wanted to withdraw his wives, and Xue Wu was required to bring heavy troops to cover the retreat. waiting for help.
