"In a month or two, it will be my ninth birthday, you understand."
........
Krisna's eyes widened. She thought her ears were broken. "How is it possible, you, you are only eight years old?"
Yang Qian said angrily, "Why is it impossible? Haven't you always said that I am short? It shouldn't count now."
Krisna's head was a little dizzy, her eyes widened, and she kept glancing back and forth over Yang Gan's body.
"Stop looking."
"As soon as you came back, you felt worried. Did you encounter something troublesome?" Although Krisna felt ridiculous, she still suppressed her inner excitement.
I originally thought that Yang Qian was young, so I was a little excited, but when I found out that he was only eight years old, I became even more excited, and I didn't know what the reason was.
Yang Qian smiled and said, "Yushi Gao came to have a drink with me today. Almost all the officials of Yuntong City, big and small, came. I found a big problem, which really gave me a headache."
"What's the problem?"
Yang Gan shook his head, "It's useless if you know. It's very troublesome. Our target at this stage is the enemies on the grassland. Only by killing the guys on the grassland can we get rid of them once and for all. Otherwise, Yuntong will never have peace."
Krisna curled her lips. Yang Qian hated it when others spoke half-spoken, but he always spoke half-spoken.
The imperial iron mines cannot be moved. If they are moved, they are afraid of causing criticism, and even Chaoxian will send personnel to monitor them.
It will be more troublesome at that time. It is better to purchase a few private iron mines. It doesn't matter if the quantity is smaller, since there are many slaves anyway.
Ask Qin Xiangru to take down the information from the bookshelf. These information were recorded by Teng Zijin. They were all lists of wealthy gentry in Yuntong City who had illicit copper and iron affairs with the Huns.
"Sir, there is someone outside asking to see you." The third son hurriedly ran in to report.
Yang Gan raised his brows and said impatiently, "Are they Gao Yushi and the others? I didn't see him, so I just told him to deal with Yuntong County's problems by himself. I'm busy recently."
"It's not Gao Yushi, it's a woman. She said she came to keep an appointment." Xiaosanzi reported.
Yang Gan frowned and his eyes were blank. "What kind of girl? Go, go, send her away. I don't know her."
"Okay, sir." The young master immediately walked outside.
"Female? Female!!" Yang Gan muttered to himself. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, lifted up his clothes and ran towards her.
Seeing Yang Qian running towards the door in a hurry, the mistress was messed up in the wind. Didn't he send him away as promised?
When they came to the door, a woman with purple clothes and bunted hair, slender figure and a slightly tired face stood here.
"Baa baa baa~~~!"
Yang Qian was very happy at first, but when he saw what was in the woman's hand, he was instantly confused.
"Yu'er, please think clearly. In fact, you can come alone. Why bring a lamb with you?" Yang Gan enthusiastically led Xiao Yu inside.
Xiao Yu followed Yang Qian blankly, "Should I call you Commander Yang now, or General Yang?"
After welcoming Xiao Yu in, Yang Gan introduced everyone, "This is Xiao Yu. From now on, he will be my disciple of Yang Gan. You two should get along well with each other."
"Businessman?" Krisna tilted her head and had no idea what it was.
“Keeper!!!”

Qin Xiangru's eyes widened, and she was horrified. The young master went crazy again. How could a woman be a guest?
Yang Gan had a silly smile on his face, which made Krisna and Qin Xiangru unhappy immediately. What do you mean, they couldn't walk when they saw a beautiful woman coming.
"Sit down~~~Uh~~~ Yu'er, what are you doing with this sheep? It's quite cute."
Seeing Yang Qian's slutty hand reaching over, the lamb was obviously frightened and screamed "baa baa baa" non-stop.
Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "You are now the governor of Yuntong County and the general of Zhenbei. You are already on par with Qing in terms of rank. According to the etiquette system, birds are used as the six best friends to wait for the ministers: I will hold the leather and silk, and the Qing will hold the "Lamb, the doctor holds the goose, the scholar holds the pheasant, the common man holds the swan, and the businessman holds the chicken."
Xiao Yu looked at Yang Qian with a puzzled look on his face, as if asking again, are you stupid? Are you stupid?
Yang Gan looked at Qin Xiangru awkwardly. She also shook her head. She didn't know why. Krisna didn't need to ask. A foreigner knew nothing.
Yang Gan said awkwardly, "Yu'er, you'd better explain it carefully. I don't understand it very well. To be honest, you are the first disciple I recruited."
"Pfft~~~!" Seeing Yang Qian's embarrassed expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Xiao Yu said carefully, "The princes of the Central Plains govern the country with etiquette. What I just said is that if someone wants to be a guest, he must give a greeting gift."
"Different ranks give different gifts, which must not be exceeded. The princes and kings will give bundles of animal skins and silk, the ministers will give lambs, the officials will give geese, the scholars will give pheasants, the common people will give ducks, and the industrial and commercial people will give chickens."
"The lamb has horns but does not let it go, and the equipment does not use it. It is like a kind person; it does not cry when it is held, and it is killed without justice. It is like a righteous person who dies. When a lamb eats from its mother, it will kneel down and accept it. It is like a person who knows etiquette. So I take it. The lamb is a symbol of high moral integrity and good moral character."
"Oh~~~!" Yang Qian said in a long tone and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yu. He didn't expect that a lamb was such a big gift, mainly because he had never heard of it and it was so embarrassing.
Qin Xiangru asked Qin Xiangru to take down the lamb, which mainly kept bleating. It looked very cute, and it would be even cuter if she couldn't help but grill it.
Yang Qian laid the information on the desk, wanting to test the three women, mainly Xiao Yu, so that he could also test how much she weighed.
"I am a straightforward person. I am short of iron now, but I have no iron mines. The imperial court cannot move the iron mines, and there are no ownerless iron mines around."
"So we can only attack the private mines of the rich gentry. These lists record the rich gentry who had liaisons with the Huns and the rich gentry who owned iron ore. If you have any suggestions, you can speak freely."
Yang Gan pointed to the list, sat down, and watched the performance of the three women.
Krisna's face was full of pain. What she said here was very slippery, but it didn't mean she could write. It was difficult to read.
Qin Xiangru frowned slightly, thought carefully and smiled, "As long as we select a wealthy gentleman who is both having an affair with the Xiongnu and possessing iron ore, how to deal with it depends on your wishes, sir."
Yang Qian curled his lips and nodded, quite helpless. Nonsense, if it was so simple, why would he ask for a hammer?
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Xiao Yu nodded lightly, and his slender and white neck was inadvertently revealed.
"Young Master Qiangui is the county guard. If you forcefully occupy the other party's property, it will be criticized."
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows, "Is it possible that having liaison with the Huns is not a serious crime?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's a serious crime. It's not an exaggeration to kill everyone in the family, but you can't make this attack. If it's you,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If you verify it yourself, it will be too obvious that you have taken possession of their property. "
After hearing her analysis, Yang Qian couldn't help but get excited and said, "Go on."
"Sir, if you can trust me, leave this matter to me and it will be done within three days."
Yang Gan was depressed. He didn't like this kind of half-talk. Did the ancient people really have the habit of telling people off?
But he still suppressed it forcefully, because talented people usually have this or that problem and can only smooth their hair.
After thinking about it again and again, Yang Qian took out a few gold cakes from his pocket and put them on the table. "You are fully responsible. These are for your activities."
"Thank you for your trust, sir, but I am a single woman after all. I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconveniences when I go out..."
"Christina, you are solely responsible for Yu'er's safety these days."
"yes!"
"You guys go down, I need to have a good rest these three days, I'm exhausted." Yang Gan waved away the two women and lay down with a leisurely look on his face.
No matter whether it can be done or not, I have no loss. If it is done, it proves that Xiao Yu is a useful talent. If he can't do it, it will be seen that he is a mediocre person. It is not bad to be a maid at home.
"Sir, there have been no female retainers since ancient times. You have gone too far and made Xiangru worry about you every night."
Qin Xiangru felt that she was being compared again, and because the young master was making nonsense, she immediately turned her head away angrily.
Yang Gan held her in his arms with a smile and stroked the silky long hair, "Don't be jealous. Jealousy gets old quickly. No matter how powerful they are, they are just my subordinates. They have no right to enter my bed. Is it possible that they can surpass you?" ?”
Qin Xiangru suddenly felt as if she had eaten honey, "I didn't expect that the young master's mouth would be so eloquent after he became hysterical. He even spoke to the slave family's heart."
Suddenly she became nervous, "Master, this, a female doorman, is too..."
"In my eyes, I select talents based on merit, ability, and virtue. As for whether they are men or women, I don't care. I need to have a good rest these three days. The war is about to break out."
Qin Xiangru said nothing and leaned on Yang Gan's chest. She knew that the man in front of her was the object of her life.
It's a pity that because of his low status, it is impossible to have any relationship with him in terms of status. As long as there is rain and dew, that is enough for a lifetime, and he must not have any other extravagant hopes.
After running around for several days, Fujiko Jin came to the tribe east of Shan Yu Wang's court with a tired face. This was the territory of King Youxian. After spending some time and means, he finally met King Youxian as he wished.
When Fujiko Jin saw King Youxian with his own eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, based on Yang Gan's oral description of King Zuoxian.
King Youxian is not as rough and arrogant as some people from the grassland. Although he is also bearded, he is more elegant than the people from the Central Plains.
He is in his thirties, tall and thin, and his etiquette is relatively considerate among prairie people, making him feel very friendly.
Fujiko Jin has traveled around the world as a merchant and has frequently appeared in the grasslands recently. He is well aware of the principle that it is not strange to treat many people with courtesy, and he is very good at etiquette.
Four or five boxes were brought in, as well as some exquisite wooden boxes. After opening them one by one, the wooden boxes contained neat twenty portions of five-stone powder. Most of the other boxes contained luxury goods such as silk and satin.
Fujiko Jin smiled and said, "Prince Youxian, are you satisfied with my gift?"
This time I spent a lot of money. Five Stone Powder is not cheap. This box alone is worth dozens of gold, not to mention those high-end silks and satins.
