Xie Fan called Lu Guang and found a platform on the fourth floor to build a larger stage.
This platform is close to the pedestrian street, making it easy to get around.
The inn is built next to the pedestrian street, integrating food, accommodation and transportation.
Wen Hua looked at the account book that was unable to make ends meet and stood aside anxiously, "Master, tell me, what should I do?"
Xie Fan consoled him, "Wen Hua, don't panic. Isn't there still some money on the books?"
Wen Hua's hands were shaking as he pointed to the most eye-catching item, "We still owe the county magistrate two thousand seven hundred taels! We still need to prepare goods and pay labor..."
Xie Fan was very calm, "Everything is business as usual!"
As he said this, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In the next few days, he and Lin Yue often stood outside the palace gate and looked forward to Dong Zhong's triumphant return.
Finally, the motorcade loomed into view.
Xie Fan immediately held a banquet at Xie's house.
When the motorcade arrived outside the gate of Xie's Mansion, Dong Zhong got out of the car in disgrace, "Finally back!"
Nie Yunlong walked forward with a woman dressed as a Yi, "Master, look at me, what did I bring back?"
"Why, you bought yourself another room?" Xie Fan rolled his eyes at the other party and looked at the woman.
"This is a dancing girl! I gave the money I spent to the young master!"
Lin Yue listened on the side, her face turned green, and she was about to go crazy.
"Hui'er, take the person down and let's talk later!" Xie Fan immediately moved the person. Although he didn't have much idea, his identity as a dancer was still of some use.
When your stage is ready, it can become an entertainment project.
Lin Yue's face turned red with anger, "Do you want anyone?"
"Yue'er, don't be angry, I have other plans!"
Without further explanation, Xie Fan pulled Dong Zhong aside and said, "Tell me, how was your harvest from this trip?"
"All the cloth has been sold out. The carriage is full of animal skins, bones and ores, all according to your instructions! The remaining money is two hundred taels of gold and one thousand five hundred taels of silver!"
Xie Fan secretly rejoiced, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip!"
Dong Zhong lowered his head and cursed in a low voice, "I met the Yi army and was extorted of five hundred taels of silver!"
"Oh? There was no conflict, right?"
"I'm afraid that this time, we will be targeted! If we go to Yi Country in the future, they will definitely be prepared."
Xie Fan patted the other party's shoulder. These things had been expected for a long time, "It's okay. Let's make plans for the future!"
Dong Zhong wiped his face with a wet towel, "Next time, I will go alone and let the Yi Kingdom's caravan come here to trade and see what else they can do!"
Xie Fan smiled and moved the other party to his seat, "Brother Dong Zhong, this matter depends entirely on you!"
"Brothers, sit down quickly!" Lin Yue greeted enthusiastically from the side.
After a banquet, Xie Fan's family fortune was enriched again.
He asked Zhang Chao to send people to pull five carriages of goods and send them directly to Liulin.
Only Lei Yi can sell these things.
During this trip, I also sent a message to Li Qinghua, asking him to deliver the goods to Xie's house as soon as possible.
There are as many as ten carriages of goods from the Yi Kingdom.
It would be great if there were more chain stores like Liulin.
He couldn't help but think of Chujiang, Zhang Chao's hometown.
Zhang Chao’s letter from home has not been received, and his family has not come.
Xie Fan personally wrote a letter to Li Tiannan, saying that he planned to expand his business to Chujiang and see if there were any acquaintances who could help him.
Now that we have a relationship with the Li family, we should make good use of it.
Lin Yue rearranged the pedestrian street in order to cope with the tourist army that Xie Fan mentioned.
She arranged for Bai Shi to have the largest shop so that Bai Shi's skills could be put to good use.
Xie Chen's pups have obviously grown up and are wandering around the mountains.
Zhang Chao followed Xie Fan to the platform where the blacksmith was, "Master, these weapons are of sufficient quality."
Xie Fan picked one and prepared to take it with him for self-defense, "Zhang Chao, let's go to Chujiang in a few days! I've asked Mr. Li to ask, let's open a shop there!"
"Master, I've left you to worry about it!" Zhang Chao said respectfully. He knew that the master's arrangement was mostly for him.
Xie Fan held the long sword with great air, "You guys learn your craft well, and I'll check again in a few days!"
The two left.
Zhang Chao said cautiously, "Master, I have sent people to persuade you about the veterans. I have visited hundreds of people, but only a few are willing to come."
"A few people are quite a few! Let them come here first and wait for a while. They will promote it for us!"
Saying this, Xie Fan was also a little disappointed. He thought he could welcome hundreds of people.
It suddenly occurred to him that the ancient Han had been in the mountains for some time.
He came to the pedestrian street and found Gu Han, "Old man, how do you feel about staying on the mountain?"
"Follow the young master and live a happy life. My two grandsons like it here very much!" The old man wiped the flour on his hands and hurriedly poured a glass of water.
Xie Fan came closer and said, "I have something to trouble you with!"
He told Gu Han his thoughts and went to the nearby county to see if there were any displaced people.
If you have some skills, you can come to the mountains and settle down.
The old man trembled with his hands, "Master, you really have the world in mind, I will go down the mountain tomorrow!"
"Go and get a carriage from the housekeeper. Come back quickly!"
Zhang Chao followed the young master and gradually understood his intention, "Master, maybe I should let those veterans come to the mountain to take a look first."
Xie Fan nodded, "If it was the dilapidated scene at that time, no one might be willing to do it. But now, everything on the mountain is already presentable."
Zhang Chao stepped back and said, "Master, I will send someone to handle it immediately!"
Xie Fan ran into Zhan Tang and Hui'er, "How was your shopping, you two?"
Zhan Tang bent down deeply, "Master, after a few days of getting to know each other, I already understand your wishes. I have some ideas and I just want to report them to you!"
"Oh, tell me!"
"The house is built on the mountain, and many people have renovated the yard. The land boundaries between neighbors are not clear, and sooner or later there will be friction. Moreover, I found that when some people worship their ancestors privately, it is easy to cause fires."
"I read it right! Brother Zhantang, just go ahead and do it!" Xie Fan was delighted, and Zhantang seemed to be in the mood quickly.
Hui'er jumped up and down and stood next to Xie Fan, "Master, do I no longer have to follow him?"
Xie Fan pinched the other person's ears and said, "No need, go and do your own thing, right?"
"I have nothing to do!" Hui'er's pink cheeks were filled with joy, "Afu is not here, so I will stay with the young master!"
Zhan Tang cleared his throat, "Master, now I am the polished commander!"
