Ye Yutong heard that the two of them had finalized the food matter, and then she mentioned Li Yunkai's death.
"Uncle Song, Ping An and I just heard about Li Yunkai's death two days ago. We all feel a little strange. What do you think of this matter?"
Song Jingwen was silent for a moment and expressed his point of view, "Your Highness, Tongtong, ever since you escorted Yichen and Jingyan back last year, I have never treated you as outsiders.
Today I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It is best for Your Highness not to take any action now. It is not too late to make a decision after watching the movements of King Liang and King Xia. "
Li Yunze cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Song, for your heartfelt words. I'm not ready to take action now, but King Liang and King Xia will definitely not give up such a good opportunity."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"I want to find someone to help Li Yunhao and Prince Liang make peace to see which of them is willing to give up the throne. After all, a fight will not be beneficial to either party.
However, I don't have such a suitable candidate under my command. I wonder if Mr. Songshan has anyone to recommend? "
Song Jingwen paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Your Highness, this is a wonderful idea. As for the suitable candidate, I have to think about it carefully. This matter requires finding someone who is substantial and cautious."
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Li Yunze smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you very much, Mr. Song Shan."
The three of them went around the fields again, and Ye Yutong and Zhuangtou talked about how to grow the vegetable seeds.
Song Jingwen asked Zhuangtou to prepare a piece of land and start cultivating rice seedlings tomorrow.
Zhuang Tou wanted to say that it was not appropriate to plant rice now, but Song Jingwen smiled and waved to him, "Old Zhou, just do as I say."
Zhou Zhuangtou quickly said respectfully: "Yes, sir."
Ye Yutong and Li Yunze went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Song again. After dinner, they returned to Fengcheng that night.
Song Jingwen knew that they had important things to do, so he didn't try to persuade them to stay.
I wanted to go back with them, but I was worried about spring planting, so I stayed. Prepare to return to Fengcheng in a few days.
The two of them did not rush out tonight and planned to rest in the space for one night and go back early tomorrow morning.
The two sat on the sofa to discuss the expansion of the army. Li Yunze said: "Tongtong, this time when we go back, I am going to tell Mantang, Zhang Daqian and the others my identity.
I will take them out for some training in the second half of the year. I plan to place Mantang and Zhang Daqian in the military camp in Dongyang County. "
Ye Yutong nodded and said: "It's time to tell them, as well as Uncle Shitou and Uncle Daming, that the wine shop and specialty shop will open in the second half of the year, and I plan to put them in charge of the shop."
Shitou and his wife are both shrewd and sharp-tongued. Most importantly, they are affectionate and have a right heart.
There is nothing to say about the character of Daming and his wife. Let them help manage it, Ye Yutong is relieved.
When the time comes, let the adults go down to manage the shop. If they want, they can take the children with them. If not, they can practice martial arts and study on the mountain.
Li Yunze smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Shitou and Uncle Daming are both good people and have quick minds, so they are very suitable for doing business."
He pondered for a moment and then asked: "Tongtong, how are you going to arrange the servants that Lin Jiang bought last time?"
Ye Yutong has already thought about these things, "If shops all over the place open, they will definitely need a lot of manpower, and I want to send them to take charge.
Doesn’t my uncle have branches in every major city? Let them help supervise when the time comes. Reconcile accounts twice a month.
As for those girls and boys, let them learn some skills in the mountains first, so that they can understand their temperament, and then decide whether to reuse them. "
Now she doesn't have many people she can use, so she can only ask Uncle Lin to help her first, and then she can make new plans after she chooses the right management.
She originally planned to open a few shops to try out, but Ping An brought her plans forward, and Ye Yutong had no choice but to change her plan.
She suddenly remembered Ye Ling, the daughter of Uncle Ming's family, who seemed to be eleven or twelve years old this year.
But that girl is very capable and fierce, and she speaks and does things very readily. A very straightforward little girl with a good brain.
It had been just over half a year since she had been in the mountains, and no child in the valley was not afraid of her. Her mouth was like a machine gun.
But every word she said was well-founded, she explained the truth clearly, she used both soft and hard tactics to make people speechless, and it was impossible for people to be angry with her.
Moreover, he can still work, his homework has not fallen behind, and the most important thing is that his abacus is very good.
Every time her husband takes their abacus test, Ye Ling always comes first. The beads in the abacus were all plucked by her, and even Ye Yutong was resigned to being defeated.
She smiled and asked: "Ping An, what do you think of Ye Ling?"
Li Yunze couldn't help laughing when he talked about that thoughtful little girl.
Since she moved to the valley, it has become more lively now.
To borrow a phrase from his apprentice Mantang, that girl Ye Ling is just like the Chaotian pepper grown in their valley... spicy!
His pertinent evaluation was, "He is very sharp-tongued and can control people. If he is trained well, he will definitely be a powerful person with all-round skills in the future."
Ye Yutong heard that he had such a high opinion of Ye Ling, so he made a decision and said: "Okay, I have decided. I will discuss it with Ye Ling when I get back and ask her if she is interested in becoming the general accountant of my shop in the future."
Li Yunze then talked about the other two young men, "Uncle Mu Mu and Uncle Tietou's eldest sons are also pretty good.
Both of them are fourteen or fifteen years old. They can be arranged to practice in the shop. After two years, it should be no problem to let them manage a shop and become the shopkeeper. "
He had a particularly good impression of those two teenagers. They were always at the forefront of the work and only did the dirty work.
Although the two of them don't talk much, they are not unable to speak out. They seem to be very calm and flexible.
And his character is good, just like their father.
Ye Yutong agreed: "You are right, these people know the basics and are more trustworthy than outsiders.
At that time, another servant who signed the death contract will be sent over to let them supervise each other.
We don't need to worry too much about things in the store. We can just go and check in occasionally and reconcile the accounts. "
She lay on the sofa and exhaled, "Peace, the seeds have been given to them, and Chief Song also promised to provide us with food and grass in the future.
Then when we get back, we will seize the time to recruit and train troops, reserve food, and prepare for the war next year. "
Li Yunze leaned on the sofa and touched her hair with his hand, "Tongtong, follow me around in fear, I'm wronging you."
Ye Yutong turned his head, looked into his deep eyes, touched his lightly frowned brow, and said with a smile:
"Why are you saying such things again? Didn't I tell you? I don't feel wronged or tired, but you are too worried.
Ping An, don't think so much. Isn't it just a throne? I'll get it back for you. "
Li Yunze suddenly smiled, pinched her face twice, and said domineeringly:
"Tongtong is right. It's just a throne. What's the big deal? Since I want to sit down, let Li Yunhao get out of here."
"Is that so? This is the strategizing peace that I know."
Ye Yutong stretched out and said, "Go to bed. We'll leave early tomorrow. After dealing with Magistrate Xu's situation, we can go back to train troops. That's the most important thing now."
