The Blessed

'œHmm, let them send carriages to fetch the goods themselves. The weather is getting cool, high degree sorghum alcohol could keep out the cold. So, anyhow, we have to hit the shelves of all branches of Xinyuan Restaurant within the year. And appropriate amount of grape wine. But, the total supplies have to be controlled under ten thousand jars. A thing is valued if it is rare. We can'™t spoil out own business. As for the rest ten thousand jar, send eight thousand into the capital. I will collect the money from Lord Zeng.'

Withdrawing the former horseplay, Ling Jingxuan said solemnly. Soon they'™d harvest the sorghums again, which should be enough to sustain them to next year. As early as a few months earlier, Cangzhou and Yunzhou had started to ask people to grow sorghums on the saline-alkali land. Next, they'™d go build factories in each county. This year, those workers in his factories, he had already bought them. So, he planned to send them to all those factories all through the kingdom. This winter, maybe his younger brother would even have no time to take a short break.

"Hmm, I know what to do. I guess our jam business could last till next month. Some time ago, I bought over a hundred mu of wasteland in Zhao village next door. Guarantor Liu negotiated with him and won over a small hill for us. So, I plan to plant all fruit trees there after this, then hire some villagers from Zhao village to take care of it for us. And I have also booked the workers for harvesting the sorghums and grains from Guarantor Liu. After everything is settled down, I will take Cangzhou as the center to build factories in those counties step by step and increase our business scope. So, I guess we need to leave things at home to Brother Zhao and others.'

Ling Jingpeng nodded and then slowly said his plans. He had talked to Ye Ruyun. They'™d get married a few years later. Firstly, they were still young. His big brother once said that it wouldn'™t be that dangerous for women to give birth after eighteen. Secondly, Ye Ruyun still held her general dream. So he didn'™t have the heart to let her give up her dream for him. Besides, he also had to work harder. In the future, after his big brother went to the capital and his second brother received a title in the court, they both needed strong forces behind their back. So, he must prepare to be their solid back.

"Zhao Dalong will go to the capital with me to accept my emperor brother's awards."

Yan Shengrui, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly cut in. The thing about the quality steel knives could be said to be Zhao Dalong'™s first big contribution. This time, he had also contributed to their big win this time. So he had asked for the rewards for him on the memorials.

"Well, we also plan to take Tiewa with us. If so, Brother Han also needs to go with us. Jingpeng, try to train a few more administrative staff. Remember. You must grasp those people and all kinds of key techniques in our own hands. If you don'™t have enough hands, go buy some from Guarantor Liu. Don'™t look at their qualifications, but only their loyalty. It'™s fine even if they are a bit clumsy or what. We can teach them slowly. And for those sneaky and slippery ones, directly return them.'

Ling Jingxuan picked up his words and said seriously. Now what they lacked most was the management and technical personnel. As for the bookkeepers, Yuan Shaoqi had already trained two. After they left, that part wouldn'™t be a problem. Plus, Song Shuisheng also knew a little about making accounts. So, he wouldn'™t have to worry about it.

"All right. When are you leaving?"

Ling Jingpeng had no other way but to agree, and finally, he still asked the question that all of them were concerned about.

"We'™ll leave early next month when it gets a bit cooler. Only a few days from now. I remember that Qingzi is coming back today, right? Later, you call them over, including Brother Zhao and Brother Wang. I have something to talk to you guys alone.'

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Jingxuan gave the answer while fixing his eyes on Yan Shengrui, about the family business, he had talked to him, he agreed, Ling Family needed a decent business.

"Hmm, I'™ll go after dinner, you..."

"What are you guys talking about? Why look all so solemn? Sister-in-law Song, prepare for the food."

Before Ling Jingpeng could finish his words, Ling Chenglong and his wife came in from outside. In case it made them sad, the few brothers exchanged an eye contact, then decided to hide it from them as long as they could, in case their mother would cry all day. If possible, who wanted to leaves?

"Nothing. Mom, you went to the factory again? I told you not to go. Even my aunt seldom goes. We may not take it as problem. But in other eyes, our identity is still different. When you go, instead of improving their working enthusiasm, you'™d give them a lot of pressure and they'™d get nervous. So it'™s already good enough that they don'™t make mistakes.'

Supporting her to sit down in the main seat, Ling Jingxuan helplessly said. They just didn'™t know how to enjoy life, but always wanted to go help the workers. But what they didn'™t know was that they were more like a hindrance than a help.

"You have said that many times. How would I not know? I went to your aunt's side, and Qing bought a piece of land on the back hillside, and the plan to move your uncle-in-law's bones over here, and when saying that, your aunt cried, and I have just come back from consoling her. Poor her! Fortunately Qing stands out. And Yang will take the exams this winter. If he could get a xiucai title, she can really retire.'

Throwing her son an eye, Lady Wang nagged. Although their days got a lot better and no one dare bully them again, her younger sister was only thirty. To live in widowhood at such an age was really a torture.

'œYang will be no problem. Mom, don'™t think too much. In the future, when Qing and Yang marry two beautiful and filial daughters-in-law for her, her days will only get better.'

No one was clearer about Zhang Yang'™s abilities. Especially that after he got listed as a jieyuan and knew that he'™d leave no longer after, he had been accompanying Zhang Yang to study almost every day, and toughed him those things he had ever learned. So, getting a xiucai title wouldn'™t be a problem at all. But the exams for the juren title, he had to be on his own.

"That'™s great! I will ask the matchmakers to see if any family has suitable girls for them.'

"Mom, they are still young, and they may want to choose wives on their own. You don'™t meddle in.'

"Look at me. I'™m so happy that I already forgot. Fine, fine, fine, I'™ll let all you brothers choose your own wives. Then I can enjoy some peaceful time.'

"That's more like it."

Laughing and making jokes, dinner was almost all served on the table, the whole family was chatting and laughing, occasionally made some small jokes, no etiquettes here, but only joys.
