Chapter 458: The Prototype of a Business Empire
Li Xiu with a full stomach, strode to the courtyard where Yi Niang lived, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ping An Lang staggering, chasing a ball on the ground to play, the little guy grew strong since he was a child, and he was taller than children of the same age, and he could walk at the age of one, although he was not walking very steadily, but when he saw Li Xiu, he still ran over with two little fat legs and shouted: "Daddy hug!" ”
Seeing the son who staggered over, Li Xiu's eyes also showed a doting look, and he bent down to pick up Ping An Lang and turned around a few times, but the little guy was not only afraid, but also "giggled" and laughed, Li Xiu had already discovered that Ping An Lang was not only strong, but also more courageous than ordinary children, in the words of Princess Pingyang, he was a good material for practicing martial arts in the future.

"Alright, put your son down, don't throw him down!" didn't wait for Li Xiu to stop, just listened to Yi Niang shouting, as a mother, she is most concerned about her son, especially Ping An Lang is still Li Xiu's eldest son, and the result is naturally more favored by Yi Niang, usually it is really in the mouth for fear of melting, holding it in the hand for fear of falling, for Li Xiu's dangerous behavior of holding the child in a circle, has always been opposed.
Li Xiu also understood Yi Niang, and put Ping An Lang down with a smile at the moment, and let him play by himself, and then he found out that he saw Yi Niang and Yue Chan sitting behind the desk in the room, each of them holding a brush, and it seemed that they were writing something.
"Yi Niang, why did you buy a shipbuilding workshop for Qi Niang?" Li Xiu came to Yi Niang and asked straight to the point.
"What's the matter, didn't the husband agree to let Qi Niang learn shipbuilding, if you want to build a shipbuilding, you naturally need a shipbuilding workshop, and there are just a lot of maritime merchants who want our family's tea, so I asked Yuechan to ask, and it turned out that a maritime merchant was willing to give us a shipbuilding workshop, as long as he was provided with an extra boatload of tea every year." Yi Niang smiled and replied, a valuable shipbuilding workshop in her mouth, but it was not worth mentioning as if it were a few acres of land.
"A boatload of tea? Is there so much output in our workshop in a year, if we give all the tea to that maritime merchant, what will others do? Li Xiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard this, he had never cared much about the family's business, at most he made ideas when he encountered difficulties, and as for the usual management, it was up to Yiniang and Yuechan to worry about it.
"Fujun is really confused, our family's tea workshop naturally does not have so much output, but how did Fujun forget, last year we cooperated with Pei Xiang to open a tea workshop, and the result attracted the nobles of Chang'an City to follow suit, one by one sent people to cooperate with us, and as a result, there are tea workshops in the north and south of the country, and there are our shares, it can be said that how much tea those businessmen want, is a matter of our family!" Yi Niang said with a smile at this time, and her little face was also full of pride, looking like a business queen in later generations.
Li Xiu was also shocked after hearing this, he didn't expect that the family's tea business had reached such a point, although it could not be said that it completely monopolized an industry, but it also had an absolute dominance over the tea industry, which was also unexpected by Li Xiu, no wonder Yi Niang would not take the shipbuilding workshop seriously, and gave it to Qi Niang directly as a toy.
In fact, Li Xiu is also blamed for this matter, he underestimated the ability of Yiniang and Yuechan, but he didn't expect that just with a roasted tea, the two women could establish such a powerful prototype of a business empire, which made Qi Niang take advantage of the loophole, and now it's too late to say anything, unless Li Xiu is determined to take away the shipbuilding workshop in Qi Niang's hands, but he really can't do this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu also shook his head helplessly, and simply stopped mentioning the shipbuilding workshop, but looked down at what Yi Niang and Yuechan wrote, and then asked curiously: "What are you writing, it can't be related to tea again, right?" ”
"Master, you guessed right, this smallpox also has a great impact on our tea business, especially those Hu merchants who take the land route, almost all of them are blocked in Chang'an City, the tea that was originally ordered can't be shipped out, and the tea from other places can't come in, as a result, the business here in Chang'an is almost paralyzed, fortunately, you invented a way to plant cowpox, it is estimated that it won't be long before Chang'an City will lift martial law, and all business will resume at that time, and my wife and I also have to prepare in advance, so that the people below can deal with it!" Yuechan replied with a smile at this time.
If Yiniang is the queen of business, usually only in charge of decision-making in the general direction of business, then Yuechan is an intellectual female president, responsible for the implementation of Yiniang's decision-making, after several years of experience, Yuechan has become a well-deserved housekeeper in the family, Yiniang and Princess Pingyang are inseparable from her.
"That's right, I estimate that at the latest, martial law in Chang'an will be lifted in a month, and then I'm afraid you will be busy again." Li Xiu also nodded at this time.
"Another month? Then this time is really a bit tight, husband, when will you send Yuechan out of Chang'an, there are still a lot of things at home that she needs to deal with? Yi Niang pondered for a moment when she heard Li Xiu's words, and finally said again, Yuechan must go out before lifting martial law, so that she can deal with the outside affairs in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.
"It's a little late today, tomorrow Yuechan, you will go out with me, anyway, it's not a bad day!" When Li Xiu heard this, he immediately replied, Yuechan had already mentioned to him that Yiniang was going out, and he agreed, but it took a lot of time to meet the bearded guest today, so he could only wait until tomorrow.
"Okay, then go back and clean up!" Yuechan smiled again when she heard this, and after finishing speaking, she packed up her things and left, and at this time, Ping An Lang was also taken away by the nurse, and only Li Xiu and Yi Niang were left in the whole room.
"Husband, uncle, they are back, admitting that although their conditions in the Americas are more difficult, at least there is no worry about their lives, so you can finally rest assured!" Yi Niang also put down the pen and paper at this time, and then came to Li Xiu's side and whispered, since Li Chengdao and they left, Li Xiu has been worried every day, and now that he has the exact news, he can finally let go of the stone in his heart.
"Yes, they have news, and I can finally sleep peacefully!" Li Xiu nodded, but then showed a little wry smile, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yi Niang, I am busy during this time, and I care less about Qi Niang, have you noticed any different changes in her?" ”
