There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After having dinner in Gujian's courtyard, Daohua sent Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi to the guest house to rest, and then went back to the room.

Seeing Xiao Ye's sunny arms, swinging a fan in one hand, and sitting at the desk with a letter in the other, Daohua instructed Gu Yu to bring a watermelon chilled in the well water and cut it.

After cutting the watermelon, Daohua walked over with a piece in one hand, and handed the watermelon in her right hand to Xiao Yeyang's mouth: "In June, it's getting hotter here in Ganzhou Wei, eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst."

Xiao Yeyang opened his mouth and took a bite: "Well, this watermelon is very sweet." He looked away from the letter and took another big bite.

Daohua was also eating, nodded and said, "There is less water here in Ganzhouwei. Due to the lack of water in dryland watermelons, after a long period of accumulation, the sugar content will be very high, so it tastes very sweet and delicious. However, because there is not enough water, The yield is not high, and the watermelons that grow are relatively small.”

Xiao Yeyang: "It's good if you can grow it. Xiliang has a vast area and few people. There are more varieties of fruits, vegetables and grains, and people's lives can be better."

Daohua said with an "en": "By the way, the second uncle and the third cousin came here this time, not only to see us, but also to inspect the Xiliang side. They want to come here to develop, what do you think?"

Xiao Yeyang: "This is a good thing. To develop Xiliang, it is inseparable from the exchanges of businessmen. Now Xiliang is still not peaceful, and the second uncle and the others dare to come and develop. This is quite courageous."

Daohua nodded: "The Li family can have today's family business, and it was achieved by the eldest uncle and the second uncle with their bare hands. This courage is not small."

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while: "The exchange of caravans can promote the development of Ganzhou Wei. Since the Li family came here at risk, the guard should give some support."

Said, paused.

"I'm going to hire Uncle Dong as a staff member and let him help me implement some civil affairs details."

Daohua agreed with a full face: "Uncle Dong was a political envoy in the end. With his help, you can relax a lot. Civil affairs are all complicated. If you take care of everything, how long will it take? Three heads are not enough. But, do I need to tell the royal uncle?"

Xiao Yeyang understood Daohua's worries, shook his head and said, "The second house of the Dong family was originally implicated by the big house of the Dong family. Uncle Dong's political achievements during his foreign tenure were still recognized by the royal uncle, and now I just invite him to be an assistant. , did not confer an official position, no problem."

Hearing this, Daohua didn't say much, and asked the maid to bring hot water, and after washing with Xiao Yeyang, she rested.

The next day, after breakfast, when Xiao Yeyang was about to go to the guardhouse, Defu suddenly came in and whispered a few words to Xiao Yeyang, and then Xiao Yeyang said to Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi: "Second uncle , today I will accompany you and the third cousin to go shopping."

Li Xingnian smiled and said, "Will it delay your business?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "It's fine, it just so happened that the five barren hills that Yiyi bought were transformed into terraced fields, and I also want to go and see them."

Seeing this, Li Xingnian didn't say much, and followed Xiao Yeyang out of the house with a smile.

After the three left, Daohua met Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu reported to Daohua what happened while transporting the tea.

Hearing that he encountered bandits on the way, Daohua frowned: "I still say that, safety comes first, even if you spend more money and hire more people from the security bureau, try not to cause casualties."

Qin Xiaoliu nodded: "Xiao wrote it down."

Seeing his tired expression, Daohua said, "It's been a long time for you. In the future, you will definitely be going to and from Xiliang very frequently. You don't have to come every time."

"The shops and Zhuangzi in the capital need your attention. You can select a few smart and stable people from Zhuangzi to train them, and you can let them escort the goods on your behalf."

Qin Xiaoliu smiled and thanked: "Thank you girl for your concern, I just walked twice because I thought about the route here in Xiliang, I'm not very familiar with it, and I was worried that the people below would not be able to do it well and delay the important affairs of the girl and my uncle, so I thought about it. Take the people below to go a few more times."

Daohua nodded: "You and the others should pay attention to your health. Xiliang is too cold in winter, too hot in summer, and the wind and sand are still strong. Go back and tell the people below that every time you come here in the future, you will come here. , everyone will give out an extra five taels of silver."

Qin Xiaoliu hurriedly said, "Thank you, my little girl, for everyone."

Daohua: "Milk tea is made in the kitchen. Before leaving, the escort and the people you brought will drink a bowl of milk tea every day to make up for your body."

Qin Xiaoliu thanked again.

Daohua waved him down, and she went to the warehouse to check the tea delivered this time.

As soon as Qin Xiaoliu returned to the guest house where he lived, several strong women came over with buckets of steaming milk tea.

"Xiao Liu is in charge, this is the milk tea that Miss Gu Yu ordered us to send."

Qin Xiaoliu delivered it so quickly when he saw it, and with a happy face, he hurriedly greeted the people in the yard to come over for milk tea.

"What is milk tea?" a young guard from a guard station asked in a low voice.

The old woman smiled and said: "Milk and tea are brewed together to make milk tea. This is a good thing. Madam has a good heart. Thinking of how hard it is for you to transport the goods all the way, I specially made it for you to replenish your body. Come on, everyone alone. A bowl, after drinking, we have to go back to make lunch."

Hearing this, everyone immediately took the bowl and went to serve the milk tea.

Milk, in other parts of the inland, is also an expensive thing, and it is difficult to drink it at ordinary times.

This time to escort the tea, Qin Xiaoliu invited three escort bureaus. The persons in charge of the three escort bureaus drank the sweet milk tea in the bowls, glanced at each other, drank it quickly, and then went into the room together to find Qin Xiaoliu.

"What's wrong with the three?"

"Mr. Liu, this is the second time we've run darts with you. You should be able to see how you are capable and how you are. As for us, we want to continue to cooperate with Xiao Fu."

Although the road on Xiliang’s side was difficult, and the road was not very peaceful, the compensation given by Xiao’s house was high. From the milk tea delivered today, it can be seen that the master of Xiao’s house is a benevolent person.

Such a powerful and benevolent master family is undoubtedly what they most want to meet when they go out to run darts.

If they can cooperate with Xiao Fu for a long time, not only can they ensure a stable source of income, but also because they run a route for a long time, they can also effectively reduce the casualties of the guards.

Qin Xiaoliu used to be a dart runner. He understood the feelings of the three of them. It was because he and his family met the girl that they changed the fate of dart runners who licked blood for a living.

"I understand the meaning of the three. In fact, I also want to continue to cooperate with the three. In the situation of Xiliang, everyone knows that sincere cooperation is needed to ensure the smooth completion of the dart."

"Cooperation is fine, but here I would like to remind the three of you that you must not harm the interests of the Xiao Family, otherwise, the consequences will not be borne by you."

When the three officers in charge of the escort bureau heard it, they all had joy on their faces: "Don't worry, Xiaoliu, we are all here to make a living, so we naturally know to abide by the rules."
