    With the full moon hanging in the sky and the cold wind in the dark night, Jiang Baiye's big stove was trembling, "What's wrong?"

    He Yun made a gesture to go in, Jiang Baiye didn't think much about it at all, but when he heard the movement next door, he was shocked instantly, "Don't, just stand at the door and say, what's the matter?"

    "Aren't you cold?" He Yun was a little surprised that he was wearing several thick clothes.

    "You know I'm cold and still looking for me in the middle of the night, tell me, what's the matter."

    He Yun handed him the box in his hand, Jiang Baiye opened it and saw a stack of bank notes and a ledger lying inside, his eyelids twitched instantly.

    "This is the net harvest of Jichun Medicine Square during the more than a month you were away. Later, the wages of the helpers and masters were also deducted according to what you said. In winter, there are fewer medicinal materials, and the efficiency of the workshop is also much lower, butDuring this period of time, I still made money..."

    "Six thousand taels." Jiang Baiye had already counted quickly, holding this thick stack of money, he didn't mind being woken up in the middle of the night, until He Yun planned to report to him about the workshop in detail.

    "Stop, stop! I believe in your ability, young master, and thank you for your seriousness and responsibility. Here, this is your wages." He took a card and found that it was five hundred taels. He hurriedly took it back and took the card.One hundred taels were handed over.

    He Yun's worth of one hundred taels is definitely not a big deal, but he reckoned that what he did was already very profitable, so he accepted it meticulously, and he still wanted to make things clear.

    Jiang Baiye was busy closing the door, he finally realized this guy's "vigorous action", "We'll talk about it tomorrow when we have time, these are not important."

    He Yun frowned slightly, not understanding why he was not in a hurry or worried, "The Shanyaofang was not doing well in Xuanhe Mansion, so it was transferred to Chongzhou Mansion a few days ago, where the medicinal materials are relatively famous, and it has always been known as the "Little Medicine Capital".In addition, their people entered Daheng Mountain on the other side with countless casualties, lost money several times, and planned to resell the mountain, but they might still want to fight against us, and they have been looking for suitable buyers."

    Jiang Baiye stopped, full of interest, "Chongzhou Mansion?"

    Isn't this the place where someone invited him to open a workshop when the ditch was being repaired, and the piece of land that Jiang Baiye wanted to buy was also in Chongzhou Prefecture.

    He really didn't intend to fight against Shanyaofang, but who knows, they also went to Chongzhou Mansion.

    Chongzhou Mansion and Xuanhe Mansion are under the same provincial capital, but bordering on the south side, the climate is better. Except for the area in Jiang Baiyexiang’s area which is arid and lacks water, the other places are like spring all the year round, and the development is not bad, even faintly, even more geographically and economically than Xuanhe Mansion.

    If Jiang Baiye wants to expand his business and enter the Jiangnan market, then Chong Prefecture is the most suitable springboard.

    But these are not as important as his sleep. He yawned, but He Yun acted as if he didn't see it. If he didn't finish some things, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

    It's that hard work.

    Jiang Baiye wanted to give him another one hundred taels, this person was the opposite of He Lin!

    "Why did He Lin go these days?" In fact, it was He Lin who he entrusted to him at the beginning. After all, he was a little more familiar with He Lin.The young master is very efficient and skillful, and he manages his pharmacy well with any help.

    He Yun hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Baiye knew that that guy must not be doing anything serious.

    "Speaking of Chongzhou Mansion, I plan to buy a piece of land there. If you are interested, you can go and have a look with me in two days. I mainly want to build it as a Zhuangzi, and turn it into a holiday scenic spot for outings.Some farmhouse projects."

    "Farmhouse?"

    "Let's talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Baiye couldn't take it anymore, He Yun finally got a wink, and took the initiative to leave, but halfway through, he remembered the most important thing he forgot to say.

    Thinking of that woman, he sighed lightly, a little happy and a little sad.

    The next day, Jiang Baiye slept until the sun was bright, and when he asked the time, it was already exactly, it was past ten o'clock.

    Lu Lizhi left him a note, saying that he was going to visit the teacher, and by the way, send over some special products they bought from other places on the way.

    Shopkeeper Ning and Mr. Yi also have a copy of this kind of special product, which is slightly lower in specification than Prefecture Governor Yan, but they are also very heavy.

    When he arrived at the Yan Mansion, Prefecture Governor Yan didn't come back from his office business. Lu Lizhi waited for a while to be there, and was inspected for a while. Lu Lizhi was glad that he didn't slack off outside and managed to pass the test.

    The magistrate Yan made a beating, "Although you have done some good things, scholars still put their careers first. Only when they are admitted to fame can they benefit more people, and only when they have power can they make more achievements. If it weren't for meIf you intervene, no one will think of your kindness, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain!"

    Lu Lizhi's initial disapproval turned into fear in an instant. It turned out that the Government Governor Yan also contributed a little bit in it. Now he and Jiang Baiye, neither of them can say that they don't care about those reputations and interests, but he believes that there is no Prefecture Governor Yan.Jiang Baiye can do it too.

    For this, he is still very grateful, and further realizes the importance of fame, no, to be an official, you have to be a high-ranking official in order to have more voice!

    "Go to school as soon as possible. If you want to take the township examination next year, it will be very difficult. At that time, Xiao Sanyuan from the past few years, Tu Huanwen from Chongzhou Prefecture, Fang Kaiyuan from Huaiyang Prefecture, Chen Jian and Wu Yong from this governmentThey are all your strong opponents, in comparison, they have been preparing for several years, and they have a greater advantage than you!"

    Prefecture Governor Yan said that, naturally, he placed the highest expectations on Lu Lizhi. It is nothing to pass the provincial examination, but it is considered success to win Jieyuan. With that person's intelligence, as his son Lu Lizhi, he must be able to do it, and he must win it.Give him some pressure!

    Lu Lizhi really felt his heart tightening.

    "Your father, back then he also ran to get rid of Yuan, I hope you don't let him down." Prefecture Governor Yan gave another final blow.

    Lu Lizhi wasn't even in a hurry to treat his dumb disease anymore, he wanted to go to school, read and study right away!

    Instead, Prefecture Governor Yan lowered his tone again, "You are a good boy, and I am relieved of your personality and conduct. There is no need for the teacher to say anything, but the teacher does not want you to waste your talents and studies because of some other things.Hurt Zhongyong has existed since ancient times!"

    Lu Lizhi wondered if he knew something, and felt a little sad. Jiang Baiye, everything related to him is not a side matter, it is extremely important, even more important than his studies!

    He doesn't want others to feel that he is an obstacle to himself.

    He is obviously his biggest motivation!

    After leaving the Yan Mansion, Lu Lizhi's tense mood finally became lighter when he saw the two shopkeepers Ning. He really understood Jiang Baiye's choice at this time.

    Making money is so pleasant, and making money while lying down is even happier.

    "It's really a surprise. Everyone's pursuit and love for you can collectively boycott other imitation books that appeared in large quantities on the market, and they all came to our Yongyuan Bookstore to buy them. This is the dividend of the past two months." Shopkeeper Ning said triumphantly, while taking out the account book and bank notes.

    Lu Lizhi didn't mean to reconcile the accounts. Shopkeeper Ning was a little shrewd, but he didn't dare and wouldn't fool himself on these matters.

    He looked at the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hand.

    Step by step, from tens of taels at the beginning to hundreds of taels, the name of Mr. Qingyuan became more and more popular, and each of his scriptures did not go out of date easily.The place will continue to catch fire.

    But now, the name of "Mr. Qingyuan" has almost radiated to the whole province.

    Prefecture Governor Yan still doesn't know his identity as Lord Qingyuan, but he and those future rivals he says may have read his book.

    Lu Lizhi felt that he should have some confidence in himself.

    In contrast, Mr. Yi's storytelling has been divided into layers, and there are many fewer. "Recently, the Hanmo Pavilion Teahouse opened, and I can't do it alone. The number of storytelling sessions is much less, and I have to bring apprentices.One hundred taels."

    He was a little embarrassed, but in fact, the rewards and customer traffic brought by Pingshu are also very profitable, but Hanmo Pavilion takes the majority, Mr. Yi takes a small amount, and this small amount has to be divided among shopkeeper Ning and Lu Lizhi, so there are only twoOne hundred taels.

    Two hundred taels is far more than what Lu Lizhi thought. He handed over the two newly written short storybooks and "Questioning Fengliu (4)" to Shopkeeper Ning, and asked about some related matters, but he couldn't really let it goShopkeeper, don't care about anything.

    Mr. Yi immediately squeezed away shopkeeper Ning and asked actively. He came here specially to ask Mr. Qingyuan himself for some ideas and background settings of the characters in the book, hoping that when he adapted the storytelling, he would not deviate too much from his original idea.something to express.

    If someone is willing to follow his wishes, Lu Lizhi naturally wishes for it. Everyone says that his books can reveal a lot of profound meaning, but in fact many of them are just their own excessive speculation and associations.

    While the two were writing and talking, shopkeeper Ning looked at the new storybook happily.

    But thinking of leaving all these manuscripts to Jiang Baiye, he felt a little heartbroken. He wanted to sue Lu Lizhi, but thought of the boy's reminder, so he had to do it secretly.

    Before Lu Lizhi left, shopkeeper Ning finally put down his book, remembered a serious matter, slapped his head, and hurriedly chased after him.

    "By the way, my brother is going to help me spread the books to other places. They don't know your identity, and they won't reveal the secret. I wonder if it's okay?" Now, shopkeeper Ning's business has grown, and there areWith more capital, it naturally means to expand outward.

    Lu Lizhi naturally had nothing to do, he was wondering if the seven hundred taels would be enough to buy half a house, but not enough, he still had about three hundred taels of savings in his family.

    When he came out from the back door of Yongyuan Bookstore, the sky had already darkened a little. At this time, not many people were thinking about who Lord Qingyuan was anymore.

    Because more and more people suspected that it was Lu Qinghong, the shopkeeper and shopkeeper Ning just mentioned this, and they became more and more angry.

    Lu Lizhi's heart is calm, he has given the other party a chance, but the other party still wants to pretend, the more people know, the worse he will fall.

    It had no real effect on him.

    Lu Lizhi walked all the way, and before he returned to He's mansion, he was welcomed back by his servant who came to look for him. Only then did Lu Lizhi know that the tailor in He's mansion had been busy all afternoon, and was just waiting for the final measurement to make clothes for him.

    "It's so accurate!" The old tailor made gestures a few times, and then took some measurements with a soft ruler. When Lu Lizhi tried to avoid it, he stopped after a while, "Mr. Jiang really understands you, everyoneThe sizes were reported just right."

    There was a slight enthusiasm on Lu Lizhi's face, he believed that someone must not be measured by naked eyes.

    In the He family's kitchen, He Lin was also puzzled by this, "Why are you so clear about Lu Lizhi's figure?"

    "Blind reporting."

    "But you look very determined. You two are very good friends, right? Even the other person's figure is so clear, I'm afraid you don't know what color underwear you wear!" He Lin's tone was slightly sour.

    Jiang Baiye said, he really doesn't understand, he has seen all of him, but he hasn't seen Li Zhi's entire body yet...

    Thinking of this, he paused slightly. Could it be that he...is too young?Embarrassed to take it out?A man's face?

    Jiang Baiye seemed to have suddenly realized that if it were him, he would indeed feel a little inferior. Fortunately, he has never had any concerns about this.

    But it's time for him to practice his skills, let Li Zhixin be the one below willingly, and enjoy boundless happiness.

    Buy some more books and come back to read...

    Jiang Baiye made up his mind, his hands were not slow, and he stirred a large pot of red things in front of him at a constant speed.

    "It smells so good, cough cough!" He Lin took a deep breath, and was instantly choked by the pungent smell, "What kind of butter did you make, cough, what is it?"

    "Butter hot pot, the hot pot base is being cooked now." Jiang Baiye was also choked up, but for a certain purpose, he had to use his housekeeping skills.

    Thinking of this, he glanced across the door inadvertently, and smiled secretly.
