It is a good time in late spring and early summer, even in the bitter cold land of the northwest, at a glance, the trees are green and the grass is green.

The backyard of Chicheng County.

Three years have passed, and this backyard has been carefully taken care of by Wang Yongzhu, which is very different from before.

The vines covered the wooden shelves, and the leaves had grown to the size of a child's palm, and they were green and looked extraordinarily comfortable.

Two Xifu begonias are planted under the corridor, which is the season of budding and sprouting.

The climbing vine roses on the wall of the back cover room are also in full bloom, and when the wind blows, the courtyard is full of the fragrance of roses.

Even in the front yard, a few bamboos have been planted, and now they are lush, and some small jasmine flowers have been planted in the corners, and a few small white buds have been made, which are pitiful and lovely.

The door of the west wing was open, and from time to time people came in and out, and a low voice came from inside.

The girl and the entourage outside all stood respectfully, waiting for the orders from inside.

Wang Yongzhu was looking through the account book, when he heard someone outside report that Li Jiushao was coming, paused, put down the account book in his hand, and motioned to invite someone in.

In the past three years, since Song Chongjin cleaned the horse farm inside and outside with thunderous means, Chicheng County and the horse farm have been under his control since then.

On the side of the horse farm, the collapsed stables were renovated and a group of grooms were recruited.

Most of these grooms have returned from the army, or they are old, or they have injured their legs and feet, and there are soldiers who are disabled but do not affect their daily lives.

Over the years, many people in the border guards have retired and returned home, and life has been difficult.

Like Zhao Liu, they are not bad, but more because of physical injuries, they can't do too hard farm work or coolies or anything, so they can only barely survive, let alone start a family.

Song Chongjin did this, not to mention Zhao Liu, and these people, even the sergeants of the border guards, also stretched out their thumbs.

As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and those wounded sergeants in the past went home and lived in despair, who doesn't know in their hearts? Who isn't afraid they'll end up like that?

Now that there is this place of resettlement, everyone's life has settled, who doesn't secretly boast about Song Chongjin in their hearts?

In addition, when these horsemen from the border guards were still in the army, most of them had dealt with horses, and some of them used to be cavalrymen, and they even went in and out with horses, and even ate and slept together, and were closer than brothers.

Therefore, taking care of mules and horses is also quite quick.

Song Chongjin also copied out a number of pamphlets, called "Mule and Horse Feeding Guide", which summarized and summarized various methods on how to feed mules and horses.

What symptoms have occurred and how to deal with them are clearly written.

Even those who are illiterate have someone who recites with them every day, and they remember it for a long time.

These veterans, who are diligent in their hands and feet, are extraordinarily attentive to the racecourse, and do not want to make a mistake, otherwise they will feel sorry for Lord Song's kindness to them.

Therefore, after the horse farm opened in spring, the appearance of the weather suddenly took on a new look.

It's just that there are too few high-quality stallions, and Song Chongjin was very worried.

Wang Yongzhu told him that since the fertility rate of mule and horse breeding cannot be improved, and there are too many requirements, it is better to change one.

She once read a travelogue, it is said that in the southwest territory, there is a kind of bantam horse, not big, not tall, but very steady and long, the book is recorded like this: small and strong hooves, up the mountains, walking on dangerous paths, although dozens of miles and do not know how to sweat, in order to grow valleys.

Song Chongjin has always believed in Wang Yongzhu's words, so he sent someone to the southwest to inquire.

It happened that Li Jiushao also arrived in Chicheng County and talked to Wang Yongzhu about the business in the capital.

At the beginning, Wang Yongzhu sent the red sleeve move, and there was a letter in it, in which he asked him to present the mahjong to Concubine De Niangniang, and the benefits were also hinted at.

Who is Li Jiushao? As soon as I received the letter, I looked at the mahjong game again, and I knew that this was a good thing to make money.

At the same time, he used his own connections to dedicate mahjong to Concubine De, and on the other hand, he bought a shop and named it Tiangong Pavilion, and hired a number of skilled craftsmen to make mahjong of various materials in a few days.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for mahjong to become popular in the palace.

Concubine De also asked people to bring out the words and let them pay more tribute.

With the east wind of Concubine De, the reputation of the Tiangong Pavilion of the Nine Youths began, and it made a lot of money.

Forget it, the closer relationship with Concubine De is the biggest gain of Li Jiushao.

Concubine De has always known about the connection between Li Jiushao and Wang Yongzhu, she used to be just quiet, and after a few days, she asked the most confidant grandmother around her to come out and spread the word.

vaguely revealed a meaning, that is, Concubine De wanted to be promoted to the imperial concubine, and the court clothes on the day of the promotion were naturally responsible for the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Since the death of the queen, now the harem has not left the queen again, Concubine De has been promoted to the imperial concubine, and the same position is the queen, this harem belongs to her most noble.

When the time comes, she will have to set up a banquet to entertain the wives of the inner and outer life.

Therefore, Concubine De wanted a dress that was the most eye-catching and glamorous in addition to the court dress and wore it at the banquet.

And the material and dyeing of this dress, Concubine De thought of Wang Yongzhu.

Wang Yongzhu dyed all kinds of colors, all of which had never been seen before, and the colors were gorgeous and would not fade, and Concubine De liked it very much.

As she is about to become the imperial concubine, she naturally hopes that the dress she wears at the banquet is unique in the world and no one has ever seen it.

Li Jiushao's heart was pounding at that time, and this was a great opportunity.

If he catches it, not only Wang Yongzhu, but also him, so far, he will be on the rise.

In the end, he still had a little sense, and he didn't dare to agree for Wang Yongzhu, but only promised that he would bring the news to Wang Yongzhu as soon as possible.

The confidant mother only left one sentence, if this matter can be done, after the imperial concubine is promoted, all the palace power will be in her hands.

At that time, the various places and opportunities for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to purchase tribute, which are coveted by the Li family, will be at your fingertips.

Li Jiushao's heart was hot, and he immediately went straight to Chicheng County, with only one purpose, to let Wang Yongzhu make another move and serve Concubine De.

Wang Yongzhu listened to the words of Li Jiu Shao, and then thought back to Concubine De's performance over the years, and knew that Concubine De was an ambitious woman with the ability to scheming.

If nothing happens, I am afraid that the queen's position will also be in her hands in the future.

First, she remembered Concubine De's reward back then, and she helped her a lot.

Second, it is not good for them to offend Concubine De now, you must know that the woman who is the emperor's favorite is her.

As the saying goes, no wind is as strong as a pillow wind.

It's better to take it first, take it one step at a time, and then talk about it. After all, there is also a Li Changnan in the middle, with Concubine De's cautious temperament, there are no heirs now, even if there are any ideas, it is estimated that it is still early.

For the time being, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!
