Lin Qingyuan has become increasingly mature and handsome. If he looked like this when we met, things might have turned out very differently.
However, no matter how dashing and charming he is now, Song Liyun will still remember him coming to Tianxianglou to eat roasted lamb kidneys and being beaten to the ground by Zhou Xianglin and his gang.
Back then, he really was the kind of bastard that made you want to punch him the moment you saw him.
Lin Qingyuan stood at the door, brushed the dust off his clothes, and then entered the warm pavilion: "Young Madam Song, isn't your storeroom a bit small? It needs to be expanded. I see that the hay is piled up in almost half of the yard."
When Song Liyun returned to Xiaoshi Village last time, Song Zhenping asked her to collect the straw from a hundred acres of land, which doubled the size of the space.
Now they've cleared out the space and piled it up in the yard, almost taking up all the open space behind it.
Mida City has many horses, including several hundred in the Lei Battalion, so having enough fodder is very important.
However, the grassland is now covered with green grass, which is sufficient for horses to graze.
We can't just leave the hay sitting there for a year; we have to find a way to solve this.
“I want to sell some of the hay, do you have any ideas?” Song Liyun asked casually.
After a moment's thought, Song Dekui said, "Don't sell now. Set up a horse farm outside the city and rent out the stables."
Currently, the merchants' horses are still concentrated in the tribe, and they have to travel more than ten miles to retrieve them each time they need a horse.
These merchants will definitely want to feed the horses themselves, so buying fodder will be necessary.
If they are kept outside the city, it is convenient, but they cannot be grazed and can only be kept in enclosures.
Just then, the maid Shayi brought Lin Qingyuan milk tea, gave him a wink, and then left.
Lin Qingyuan coughed and looked at Song Liyun: "Are you comfortable using these Di women? Should we buy a few maids?"
He meant buying people from the Wu Dynasty.
Song Liyun raised an eyebrow. She had never thought about buying a maid, partly because she was not used to being served by someone.
Secondly, Mida City is remote, and there is the precedent of the noblewoman from the Uda tribe. Those maids who were sold from afar are not necessarily willing to accept it.
For now, we'll use Di Nu as a maid.
I never expected that the Di woman would be so unrestrained and bold, just like she was in the tribe, and still the same here.
Especially when she saw a handsome man from the Wu Dynasty like Lin Qingyuan, she made no attempt to hide her admiration.
Even she, the mistress, felt embarrassed.
Song Dekui was already married, so how could he not know what those Di women were thinking?
He looked at Lin Qingyuan and teased, "That Di woman from earlier was quite nice. I'll have Xiaoyun arrange for her to serve you tonight!"
Lin Qingyuan wasn't embarrassed at all by this joke. He calmly said, "Then thank you for your trouble, young mistress. I won't have to go to the tribe anymore!"
Even though Song Liyun knew Lin Qingyuan was joking, she couldn't laugh!
Mida City has all kinds of goods, but it lacks one thing: brothels.
Lin Qingyuan originally wanted to buy a few prostitutes, but Song Liyun rejected the idea.
As a woman, I would find such a sordid thing unacceptable both physically and mentally.
However, Lin Qingyuan, the Wan family, and Zhao Tinglei of Hecheng all have shares in Mida City.
In the common sense of these men, brothels are the standard place to relax and unwind.
Although Song Liyun was the city lord's wife, she could not deny the legitimacy of an industry's existence, nor could she control the needs of the men in those caravans who had endured risks and long journeys.
Now that the city is in its early stages of development, no one has brought up Song Liyun's denial anymore.
But... there are no women in the city, but there are women in the tribe!
Thus, some tribes used lowly female slaves to earn money, simply because city dwellers needed to travel a certain distance.
In this situation, Song Liyun could only turn a blind eye.
She knew that a themed street would inevitably appear in Mida City in the future.
All I can do is provide personal protection for those women who volunteer to earn money, check their hygiene, and prevent them from suffering physical harm or even death.
That evening, Song Erlang learned that his younger brother had arrived, so he also came to the city lord's mansion from the construction site.
Upon seeing Song Dekui, before he could even speak, Song Erlang slapped him across the face.
Song Dekui was stunned by the blow: "Second brother, why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong again?"
“What did you do wrong? You chose such a good relative. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused Xiaoyun? She’s only been here for a month and it’s already cost her more than two hundred taels of silver. And you even extorted twenty taels from her.”
Upon hearing that it was Xia Pu, Song Dekui immediately wilted: "Second brother, I apologize to Xiaoyun, and I will repay the two hundred taels of silver later."
Hearing that Song Dekui was willing to repay the money for the Xia family, Song Erlang's anger subsided slightly, but he was still feeling suffocated: "This time you've repaid it, and Xiaoyun can let it go, but what if the Xia family causes trouble in the future?"
"Hey! Don't worry about that! I've already brought my father-in-law and mother-in-law out of the Xia family home, to a place they'll never find. They want to control me... Hmph, no way!"
"You picked him up? Really? Where did you put him? I'm warning you, if you send him back to Broken Gold Town, you'll be causing trouble for Xiao An!" Song Erlang seemed to believe it but not quite.
This younger brother used to be a restless, itchy-footed street urchin, and he was never serious.
In the past two years, I've been spending time with Xiaoyun outside, and I've actually felt more at ease than before.
How can you say you can't find a living person?
However, Song Dekui did not intend to tell his second brother, in case he went back and told his father, he would be accused of being silly.
In the minds of ordinary people, the Wu Dynasty people only settled in the Di tribe as a last resort.
"Second brother, don't worry, my matter is all settled. You just need to clear out the land for Xiaoyun and then go home. Our parents and children still need someone to take care of them!"
