General Yuan was finally persuaded by Qi Xiuyuan. He looked back and sighed to Shen Mu who was following him: "We're just really getting old."

Shen Mu smiled slightly and said: "You recognize you are old, but don't pull me up, I also advised you to shrink the front line at the beginning, but the old friends who have been with you for decades are willing to listen to the persuasion of a hairy boy. This is my heart. The liver is all damaged."

General Yuan laughed, knowing that he was joking, he lightly stroked his horse's **** with a horsewhip, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it, I'm willing to listen to opinions younger than me."

Shen Mu shook his head, but still said: "Qi Xiuyuan is indeed a rare talent."

General Yuan and You Rongyan said: "How? This trip is not a loss, right?"

Shen Mu smiled slightly and asked, "Is he not married yet?"

General Yuan smiled and nodded.

Shen Mu said in a deep voice, "Is there a princess of the right age above and below the saint?"

"Even if there isn't, there are also county masters and the like," General Yuan said indifferently: "If he can marry a princess or a county master, it would be good for him."

Shen Mu didn't think so. If Qi Xiuyuan married the princess or the princess, he wouldn't necessarily gain much trust from the sage, but he would add a lot of constraints.

But that was Qi Xiuyuan's private matter, although Shen Mu regretted it, he couldn't interfere.

Since the two giants have agreed to shrink the front, naturally they will not take the initiative to provoke the Jinbing. Therefore, since the armistice on the 30th day of the new year, there has been no more conflict between the two sides.

On Da Zhou's side, Qi Xiuyuan and General Yuan are allocating troops to do defense work, but Jin Guo's side has been holding back.

Not only General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan felt wrong, but Qi Haoran, who was far away in Mingshui County, but had always been able to get news from the front line, felt something was wrong.

He wanted to get up and go to the front line to have a look, but he was ruthlessly suppressed by Mu Yangling. Although the wound did not hurt the internal organs, the wound was large and long. Maybe let him go?

Even Fan Zijin suppressed him with a stern face, saying: "Big cousin is not a fool, you can find out what's wrong, big cousin will only find out earlier, if you are worried, write a letter and ask, Why go there yourself?"

Qi Haoran thought about it too, turned around and went back to the house to write a letter.

Since the 30th day of the new year, Qi Haoran has lived with Mu Yangling in Mu's house.

The Mu family has a lot of rooms, and it is more than enough to arrange a Qi Haoran and a Feibai. Shu Wanniang heard that Qi Haoran wants to celebrate the New Year alone, and her motherhood broke out, so she left the person immediately, and because he was injured, she took care of him in various ways.

Fan Zijin came here on the first day of the new year. At the age of 30, he was busy for a day before he remembered that he had personally done it for Qi Haoran's care for the soldiers. For the logistics here, I'll get some of my own stewards. I only have so much money. You can figure it out for yourself, and then you will come back after shaking your hands.

When I returned to Xingzhou, I realized that Qi Haoran was not at home for the New Year, and went to Mu’s house. Although I was very embarrassed to go to someone else’s house to celebrate the New Year, Fan Zijin did some psychological construction and moved in on the first day of the new year.

Shu Wanniang arranged a room for Fan Zijin next to Qi Haoran, and then asked Yanmo to squeeze a room with Feibai.

So this year in the Mu family, although there was one Mu Shi missing, it was still very lively.

Fan Zijin saw Qi Haoran returning to the house, so he turned his head to Mu Yangling and said, "Let's clear the account and give you the dividends for the first half year."

Fan Zijin asked Yan Mo to take two account books and hand them over to Mu Yangling, "You plan to plan."

Mu Yangling handed it over directly to Xiuhong and Liu Lang, and said, "You guys do the math."

Liu Lang was a little excited. He had only been studying for more than a month. Although he had done accounting with the accounting book before, it was all done by Xiuhong. This was the first time he had a task. Liu Lang excitedly took the accounting book and entered the You can't get out of the study.

Xiuhong was not as excited as Liu Lang. She quietly took the account book and went to the study, prepared the brazier and refreshments, and then sat down and counted slowly.

Fan Zijin kept looking at them, turned his head after a while and said, "There are not many people you can use, but they are all people around you. You can directly entrust them without inspection, which is better than me."

Speaking of this, Fan Zijin looked a little tired, but he was different, because the family business of the Fan family and Qi family was not here. , This is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, but he has no good solution for a while.

Mu Yangling hesitated for a moment, then suggested: "I don't think you need to choose one by one to teach again, then choose again, buy a group of smart people directly, and open a school for them to learn, if you can leave the school, you can Arrange people into workshops and shops, and those who need to be used will gradually increase, and those that cannot be used can be transferred or sold. Although it will cost more money, it saves energy and time. a lot of."

"Moreover, they all started from the grassroots level and suffered hardships. They will only cherish and work hard for the important tasks given to you. You choose someone to teach you, and then give them a manager or deputy manager. Things are too easy to come by. People will not appreciate it.”

Fan Zijin pondered, and after a while, looked up and down Mu Yangling in surprise, and said, "Did you think of this idea?"

Mu Yangling glared at him, "Don't think that you are the only one who is smart, sometimes it's enough to keep things simple. You smart people have to be suspicious, even the simplest things can be complicated by you. It's very simple to be afraid of spies sneaking in, formulate rules and regulations, what can be said and what can't be disclosed, and when you suspect someone, just transfer people away."

"People's energy is limited. You have to do so much business, take care of the logistics of the army, and guard against spies. Even a piece of iron can break down. Haoran knows that the body is the foundation. Not so much."

After ??, Mu Yangling left Fan Zijin and left.

Fan Zijin lowered his head and thought about Mu Yangling's words.

Xiuhong's calculation was fast, Liu Lang was a little slower at first, but when he found the feeling later, the abacus also made a crackling sound. Although the speed was not as fast as Xiuhong, it was not much slower.

Therefore, before dinner, the two of them handed over the ledger to Mu Yangling, reporting: "The ledger is fine."

Mu Yangling nodded, put the ledger aside, and let Xiuhong and Liu Lang do the accounting. In fact, it was also an attitude. She didn't believe that Fan Zijin would lie to her at this time, and it was unnecessary.

"How about half a year's income?"

Xiuhong said happily: "Cousin, I've calculated, you can get 6,758 taels of income in the first half year."

This was the first half of the year when there was only the business of the rabbit meat shop. Later, not only silk, but also cloth houses were added. Because they all used the dividends of Mu Yangling and the others, Mu Yangling still accounted for 30%.

This indicates that the further back you go, the more dividends will be distributed. Thinking of this, Xiuhong's eyes have already lit up. What her cousin said is true. Now, I only saw that he kept carrying rabbits from the house, but he didn't see this vision.

Liu Lang was also shocked because he didn't expect to have so much money. The sum of their family's money was not even a fraction of the money. Seeing Cousin A Ling's complicated situation, he became more and more determined. to follow her.
