Thinking of this, Fu Yuanling looked at Qi Ruozhong and Yuan Li and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, we will first drain the water and build it along the Huancheng Lake, and pay attention to the distance and planning between the workshops." ”

Qi Ruozhong is better at this, and he has made preparations in advance, so he pointed to the detailed details on the map and said how to arrange the location of each workshop.

Yuan Li watched carefully, saying his thoughts from time to time, and the three masters and servants quickly set the general direction.

After finishing the business, Qi Ruozhong's mood is better, if it goes on like this, his annual dividends and silver will rise in a straight line, which is really motivating.

Fu Yuanling took a sip of tea, looked at Yuanli and said, "There is something you can check for me." ”

"Big girl, you say." Yuanli Road.

"Tan Gouda, the commander of the left-wing forward battalion, check the details of the Tan family and see if you can find out." Fu Yuanling, because Liu Xianghua's fiancé has been thinking about it, he will understand it first before he can talk about anything else.

"The Tan family?" Yuan Li looked at the eldest girl, "Fan Zhi, the younger brother of Commander Tan's cousin's daughter-in-law, has dealings with our Fu family and has rented a large workshop in the smelting workshop. ”

Fu Yuanling was quite surprised, "This relationship is very close." ”

The maiden brother of the cousin's daughter-in-law is like the relationship between Fu Yuanxian and Fu Yuanbin's daughter-in-law's younger brother.

"How is Fan Zhi?" Fu Yuanling looked at Yuan Li and asked.

"It's a very refreshing person, easy to deal with, I heard that our smelting workshop will be expanded in the future, but I want to book a place in advance." Yuan Li said with a smile, "I didn't bluff people with the name of Commander Tan, but I looked like I was serious about doing business." ”

If you don't use Tan Gouda's reputation to do things, first, it shows that Fan Zhi himself is a decent person, and second, it is possible that Tan Gouda will not allow his family to use his name to do anything wrong.

No matter which way you look at it, the Tan family's family style is rigorous.

Seeing that the eldest girl was silent, Yuan Li said with a smile: "Go back and ask about the Tan family, and then come back to the eldest girl." ”

Fu Yuanling looked at Yuan Li, "The marriage contract set by Commander Tan's son is Sister Xianghua. ”

Yuan Li suddenly realized, no wonder the eldest girl wanted to inquire about this, she came out from the eldest girl's side to do things, but she didn't pay much attention to the things about the Liu family, and said at this time: "The Tan family's reputation is good, but the slave will inquire about Tan Gongzi carefully." ”

Fu Yuanling said that Tan Jingyi was injured, involving the people on King Wu's side, Qi Ruozhong's smile on his face also put away a little, and said: "That's to be careful, the recent inspection of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division has been much stricter, and in the past, the little thief was caught just a lesson, but now those who are caught will be imprisoned, and even the beggars on the street are much less." ”

"Since when?" Fu Yuanling's heart moved, and he looked at Qi Ruozhong and asked.

Qi Ruo thought about it again, "It started a few years ago. ”

Fu Yuanling's heart sank, before and after the year, they were all distracted by the matter of making a bureau and King Rong, but they didn't pay attention to the small actions made by King Wu.

So it is possible that Xiao Ting was ready to deal with his father-in-law years ago, and he wanted to rebel against what his father said, could it be that the things that King Wu wanted to transport had something to do with Mei Chengchuan on the side of Que Zhou Xingang?

In the battle of Xilinguan, Xiao Ting and the people sent out by Mei Chengchuan suffered a lot of losses, and they were almost wiped out, but I am afraid that they will also hate themselves and Xiao Jiuqi because of this matter, and it is not impossible to anger Liu Songjin because of this.

In addition, Liu Songjin is in charge of Xiguan Mansion, and King Wu can't dredge Xiguan Mansion, so he can't get customs clearance documents, and if he can't get the documents, if there are some taboo things, he can't mix them in the caravan and send them to Shangjing.

In this way, the two of them can be regarded as a big feud.

It's a pity that the king of Chu is not in Shangjing now, but fortunately, Xiao Ting is not there either.

Fu Yuanling thought about it, and also felt that the Tan family was also implicated in this matter.

If that's the case, I really can't live with the Tan family.

Fu Yuanling thought about it, at the moment, Xiao Jiuqi and the King of Chu were not in Shangjing, and Liu Songjin's official position was sensitive, and many people were staring at him and couldn't act rashly, it seemed that the Tan family had to take the first step.

Fu Yuanling looked at Yuan Li, "You give Fan Zhi's daughter-in-law a post, and in my name, ask her to meet in Jingchun Fang." If possible, it's best to bring Mrs. Tan with you. The time is set after the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Yuanli didn't know what the eldest girl was going to do, so she responded: "Why don't you go on a trip yourself?" ”

Fu Yuanling thought for a while and said, "It's okay, if you ask Mrs. Fan to bring a message to Mrs. Tan, just say that I want to see her." ”

Yuan Li should come down.

Qi Ruozhong is also in a hurry to go back and build the water drain on the shore of the lake around the city in the western suburbs, this is not a small project, it will take a few days to finish it, first circle the place, and wait until the land thaws to start construction.

When spring begins, the eldest girl will give an order, and he will not make a mistake.

The most important thing is to recruit craftsmen.

Qi Ruozhong mentioned this matter and said: "Because a large number of workshops have been established in the western suburbs, more and more craftsmen are needed, and most of the local craftsmen in Beijing are in the Crafting Bureau, so we have to recruit from the surrounding prefectures and counties, which requires the entry and exit documents of the imperial court." ”

Fu Yuanling bowed his head, "I'll figure out a way to do this." ”

This is also a big event, with the gradual expansion of the western suburbs in the future, the number of craftsmen will inevitably rise in a straight line, and the surrounding prefectures and counties will be driven.

At that time, the western suburbs will become more and more prosperous, and the craftsmen recruited by the western suburbs and the merchants who enter and exit from the seats must be strictly restricted and regulated, otherwise they will give Wu Wang and his ilk an opportunity to take advantage of in the future.

Fu Yuanling decided to enter the palace and discuss a business with His Majesty the Emperor.

In view of the fact that His Majesty was very busy in the new year, and the front and harem were turning on a continuous axis, Fu Yuanling first handed over the post to Fengyi Palace.

The queen was a little surprised to receive Fu Yuanling's post, but when she saw the content on the post, she became serious, looked at Shu He and asked, "This palace remembers that Your Majesty will go to Yufu Palace for a banquet tomorrow, right?" ”

Shu He nodded, "Yes, Concubine Tan has been preparing for tomorrow's banquet for many days." ”

The queen smiled lightly, "This is really providential. After speaking, he looked at Shuhe, "Go and see if Your Majesty is done, if you are done, let Luo Changying say goodbye, and say that there is something in the palace to ask to see." ”

Shu He knew that it must be Princess Jin's business, "The slave will go." ”

The queen put the post away, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, this was not her deliberately ruining Tan Guifei's banquet.

Since Xiao Chong has been there, His Majesty's thoughts are now mostly on the child, and the Yufu Palace has inevitably been neglected.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but sneer, Your Majesty is diligent in government, coupled with her age, she is not powerless in that little thing between men and women, and besides, Your Majesty is not the kind of foolish person who makes up for himself, so Tan Guifei's means are naturally useless.
