That night, the four of them drank until very late, but no one got drunk.
We didn't drink much, but we talked a lot.
Yu Wentian has already taken his wife Rouyi and daughter Yu Xiaoxiao to the residence of the General of the Eastern Frontier Army in Waqiao Pass.
He has achieved perfection in his practice, and now has no desires or demands, so his body and mind are naturally relaxed.
He came here today specifically to visit Fu Xiaoguan. Firstly, it was Fu Xiaoguan who gave him a new life, and secondly, it was Fu Xiaoguan who took care of Rouyi.
In his heart, Fu Xiaoguan had long become his friend, no longer a potential threat to him.
Now he has completely given up the throne, and all he wants is to guard the country's borders until he grows old...
"When I retire from the position of general, I will go to your Fengxia Village, build a house, plant a few acres of thin land, and send Xiaoxiao to your Xishan Academy to study."
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "By the time Yu Wentian retreats, I'm afraid I'll have already returned to the Wu Dynasty."
Ning Yuchun felt even more melancholy when he learned of Fu Xiaoguan's intention to leave.
Actually, he is much older than Fu Xiaoguan, but the two of them get along as casually as brothers.
Fu Xiaoguan had him involved in many important events in Wofeng Road, and even directly assigned some things to him to handle.
He understood the young man's thoughts, but was extremely reluctant to let him go.
When he goes to the Wu Dynasty, he will be the emperor!
I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again at that time. Even if we do, it's probably difficult for us to drink and chat as intimately as we do now.
However, Xi Xunmei gained a lot tonight. He understood Fu Xiaoguan's emphasis on the law, and also understood the many benefits of subdividing the law.
He was well aware of the Yu Criminal Code, and Fu Xiaoguan told him to recruit some people who understood the law and start compiling two new codes that day.
The first is the Criminal Law and the second is the Civil Law. The names are simple, but Xi Xunmei knows that they are quite difficult.
"Your Majesty may not necessarily agree to implement these two codes."
"I know, just do it, trust me, your name will go down in history!"
Xi Xunmei didn't understand what he meant, but Ning Yuchun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Xi, if you worked in the Ministry of Personnel until old age, I'm afraid you wouldn't necessarily leave your name in the annals of history. But since Earl Ding'an has said so, then the significance of these two laws... you might actually be able to go down in history!"
Xi Xunmei nodded, and a hint of hope finally appeared in his originally calm eyes.
…
…
On August 15th of the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived again.
Autumn comes later in Wofengyuan than in Jinling.
Early this morning, Fu Xiaoguan saw Yu Wentian off and called Ning Yuchun to go to the provincial government office.
The road construction issue has officially been put on the agenda starting today. The secretariat must draw up a plan and send it to the three state governments, asking them to recruit manpower and start implementation.
Fu Xiaoguan was busy in the Taoist mansion when Zhang Qiyue, the eldest daughter of Xiangtai Tower, came to the backyard of the mansion with her maid Xiaoqiu.
This was her second time here, and she had already gotten to know Fu Xiaoguan's four fiancées.
As she stepped into the backyard, she heard the clattering sound of mahjong tiles being rubbed together - she didn't know what mahjong was at first, but she knew it after her last visit, and even knew how to play it.
Ding Anbo's four fiancées are truly blessed!
Zhang Qiyue was extremely envious. Each of these four people was extremely beautiful. They would actually accompany Ding'an Bo whenever he went on official business. The Yu Dynasty was the birthplace of sacred learning, and it was extremely inappropriate for women to show up in public like this. No one knew what Ding'an Bo was thinking, he seemed not to care at all.
If I marry Wang Chaofeng, can I still manage the business like them?
She shook her head and laughed at herself. After marrying into the Wang family, she would be the young lady of the Wang family. It was a nice title, but what she would lose was her freedom - she would have children for him, and she would use almost all her energy to manage the household affairs of the Wang family. She would be a good wife who took care of her husband and children, and would also have children for the Wang family, but she would never be able to dominate the business world again.
"Miss." Xiao Qiu didn't understand why the young lady was standing motionless in the yard.
"Ah... let's go."
The reason for visiting the wife of Earl Ding'an was for both the Zhang Mansion and the Wang Mansion.
The branch of Sitong Money House is already in operation, and Sima Tao and others have submitted qualification certification applications to this Sitong Money House. They have obtained listing approval at the Sitong Money House headquarters in Jinling City, but they also want to get listed here - the officials of the Wofengdao Commercial Bureau said it was possible, and the Jinling Stock Market and the Wofeng City Stock Market are independent of each other and will not affect each other.
I heard from my father that there are already more than a thousand merchants from the Yu Dynasty who have arrived in Wofeng City, and half of them are planning to list Wofengdao on the stock market.
The merchants of the Yu Dynasty were very brave, and the natives of Wofeng City naturally followed suit, but they were not as confident in their hearts.
If Zhang Qiyue could make good friends with Ding'an Bo's four fiancées, they would feel at ease - the time to accept new policies and new ideas is still too short.
They are still worried about the government changing its mind, and their thinking is still stuck in the situation of leaning against a big tree.
Fu Xiaoguan did not stop Zhang Qiyue, Nangong Piaoxue and the other three from interacting with each other. He even encouraged them to interact more with the wives of merchants in order to dispel the concerns of these merchants.
Nangong Piaoxue and the other three had no time to interact with those ladies, they were busy playing mahjong!
Su Su happened to be touching herself, and she shouted happily: "Three top-notch Guan families, hahahaha, ten taels of silver each!"
Zhang Qiyue happened to walk in, "Sister Susu, you're so lucky!"
"Oh, July is here, please sit down... make yourself some tea."
Although Zhang Qiyue had only met them once, she already understood the personalities of these four women.
Miss Susu is carefree, Nangong Piaoxue is as quiet as a virgin, Xu Xinyan is steady and dignified, and Zhang Pei'er is informal.
She actually said to her maid Xiao Qiu, "Qiu, go make five cups of tea. I'll hold Sister Su Su's arms."
Nangong Piaoxue looked up and smiled, "Why are you hugging me? You'll take my place after this fight. I need to go get some juice."
"Okay, if you win, it's Sister Nangong's, and if you lose, it's my little sister's."
"That won't do... What's the matter with July coming here?"
Zhang Qiyue smoothed the hair by her ears and said, "I just want to play mahjong. Where did you buy this thing? I want to buy a set to play with too."
Su Su smiled and said, "They're not sold here. I brought them from Jinling... Maybe they'll be available in Wofeng City soon. Sister Shulan wrote to me saying that we should buy a few shops in Wofeng City. That must be to sell our products."
Zhang Qiyue was immediately delighted and said excitedly, "If you want to buy a shop, I can show you the way. The most prosperous street in Wofeng City is Jiuyu Alley. There are five shops connected together. They used to be Jianlin's property, but now they have no owner. You can decide on one first."
When the four heard this, they realized it was serious business.
Stopping playing mahjong, Zhang Pei'er said, "Why don't we go take a look now?"
