As for Dugu Lanruo's location at this time, Baoqin guessed wrong.

Dugu Lanruo is in Jiangnan.

I didn't live in my own manor that had not yet been built, nor did I go to Hangzhou, but lived in the manor of the Xiao family in Yangzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, there is a folk habit that is almost the same whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, that is, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside.

If it is an official, it is naturally a man who is an official outside, and the hostess is responsible for running the house.

In the case of wealthy families, the men were responsible for checking the accounts and managing the primary industry such as land and animal husbandry. The hostess is responsible for managing the small things in the house, such as the small workshop.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, there were no wealthy merchants, but small merchants, and most of the wealthy merchants were composed of branches and servants of wealthy families, and the industry still belonged to the family. This kind of property belongs to the management of the hostess.

Up to now, Datang has not undergone qualitative changes in the general direction of male protagonists and female protagonists.

Because of this, Dugu Lanruo went to Yangzhou in person and lived in the Xiao family's manor.

Xiao Ling'er pulled her mother, aunt, aunt and more than a dozen other people, and took the Xiao family's sideline industry team to gather all the ships they could muster, and transported countless cloths, combs, water cups and other daily necessities to Pingcheng, Xinjin City, Kumamoto and other places.

When the fleet returned to Huating Port, Yangzhou Port, Hangzhou Port, and Cixi Port again, the whole Jiangnan was crazy.

Countless nobles poured into the Xiao family like a tide.

Xiao Ling'er is enough to face these noble ladies, even the housewife of the Xiao family also feels great pressure when facing more than a dozen national ladies.

Helpless, Xiao Linger had no choice but to rescue Dugu Lanruo.

So Dugu Lanruo came to Yangzhou and lived in the Xiao family's manor.

Dugu Lanruo was accompanied by four adult princesses, namely the eldest princess of Changsha, the eldest princess of Gaomi, the eldest princess of Jiujiang, and the eldest daughter of Li Shimin, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Xiangcheng.

Princess Xiangcheng's mother was just a very ordinary maidservant, and she died in childbirth when she was born.

In terms of identity, Princess Xiangcheng belongs to the category of unpopular princesses in the court, her mother's status is low, and there is no backstage of her uncle's family.

It was Liu Mu who facilitated Princess Xiangcheng to marry into the Xiao family and marry Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui, which made her status improve a lot.

At present, Dugu Lanruo is protecting her, or because her mother is a maidservant, Dugu Lanruo will take care of her aunt more or less.

Five princesses of the Tang Dynasty are here, and two of them are eldest princesses.

Princess Changsha is the eldest daughter of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest daughter of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

and Dugu Lanruo.

The originally noisy Xiao family manor suddenly became quiet, and several ladies who were arguing over the residence also gave in to each other, and everything became very calm.

In the evening, Dugu Lanruo and the four princesses gathered in the small hall with Xiao Ling'er.

Dugu Lanruo spoke first: "Gao Mi, haven't you arrived yet?" ”

"When we arrive, we are sorting out and counting, and the data is not clear enough. Because my sister is in a hurry, the big account has not always come out, and the road is tidy, and there are many accounts, and it is still a little short now. ”

After Princess Gaomi finished speaking, without waiting for Dugu Lanruo to ask, Princess Jiujiang hurriedly spoke: "Sister Changping, the accounts sent by my family have also arrived, and the big accounts will always come out, and the small accounts will take a few days." ”

Princess Changsha also turned her head: "The account books on the side of the firewood horse have also arrived." Xiao Ling'er also added: "The accounts of the Lingnan Yue Guogong, as well as the accounts of the second sister's chief director Chang'an, have also been delivered." ”

Dugu Lanruo exhaled slowly: "Then it's up to the Yijun King's account." ”

Dugu Lanruo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea after speaking, the account she wanted was for all the shipment value of Wadao and the peninsula, since each family wanted to negotiate a share for their own workshop, if there was no estimated value of the goods, the empty promise would be chaotic.

If you say princess.

The princesses of all dynasties, Yuanmeng and Braided Dynasty are not counted, it is an alien invasion.

In the rest of the dynasties, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were like raising canaries, and the princesses of the Song Dynasty were tools for harmony, and only the princesses of the Han and Tang dynasties were really powerful.

The princesses of the Han Dynasty have relatives, but there are also many who participate in court politics.

The princess has an official position in the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Pingyang Zhao created the miracle of the identity of the princess, and is the first princess in history to have a nickname.

"Drink tea." The princess of Changsha motioned to the ladies to taste the tea: "This is tea from Quanzhou in autumn, a very special method of making tea." ”

The ladies of the country in the park are in a hurry, and Dugu Lan in the inner courtyard is like a mountain.

The ladies of the country dared to ask the Xiao family for the channel, but they didn't dare to ask Dugu Lan for it, so they could only endure it.

Two days later, a boat came down the river, a boat from Chang'an. Liu Ruyu, the chief accountant of the General Shipping Division, arrived, she couldn't help but come, the General Shipping Division's material procurement in Jiangnan alone had exceeded the total revenue of the Tang Dynasty last year, and she would not be at ease if she didn't come to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Before Liu Ruyu left Chang'an, Li Shimin personally set up a banquet to see him off, accompanied by the four concubines, as well as two waiters from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and several officials such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Works.

After the banquet, Wei Guifei, who heard some confidential news, was very moved, and specially ordered her family to bring ten boxes of gold coins and arranged for her two younger brothers and daughters-in-law to accompany Liu Ruyu to the south together.

The arrival of Liu Ruyu made countless noblewomen crazy, and they were almost screaming.

Liu Ruyu is the goddess of wealth in the Tang Dynasty, which is recognized by the circle of noblewomen in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Mu is a man after all, and it is inconvenient for the ladies to surround Liu Mu, but they can surround Liu Ruyu.

Dugu Lanruo personally went to the dock to welcome the willows like rain.

After the two girls met, Liu Ruyu spoke first: "Princess, when I came on the road, I thought about sending someone to send a letter to Da Lang, no matter what means or methods he used, Xinjin City would build a Tang Fang there." ”

"Well said."

If Dugu Lan agreed, the two of them wrote a letter each before leaving the dock, and then ordered the ship to go north to find Liu Mu.

There is a joint letter from Dugu Lanruo and Liu Ruyu, I believe that Liu Mu must know that they need this Tangfang very much, so Liu Mu will find a way to get the land for Tangfang.

As for how Liu Mu negotiated with Goguryeo, Liu Ruyu never thought about it, in her opinion, her twin brother was a genius in squeezing Goguryeo, but she didn't understand why Liu Mu didn't occupy a piece of Tangfang land in Xinjin Port.

On the way back, Liu Ruyu said to Dugu Lanruo: "Before I left from Chang'an, the sage held a banquet to see me off, and at the banquet, Cui Shangshu of the household department told me a statistical data of the household department, about people's livelihood and materials. ”

"About people's livelihood and goods?" Dugu Lanruo didn't expect that this was counting something.
