In the evening, the sound of bells and drums echoed around Xiyang City. It was the last prompt before the curfew was about to begin. In a corner of the city, Gu ordered his servants to help the drunk Wang Yue to the couch.

After changing out the clothes full of alcohol, the servant brought hot water to help Wang Yue wash his feet, and the maid brought the sober soup again. Gu personally took the soup to Wang Yue. After a while, Wang Yue finally dissipated some alcohol.

"Ah, I'm drunk again? Alas, it's really..."

Looking at his wife, Wang Yue smiled apologetically. He wanted to sit up but felt weak all over. It seemed that the alcohol had not completely dissipated. Seeing the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, Gu quickly brought a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat.

While complaining, "I have said it so many times, drink less, and you are now strong and can handle it. What should I do if I get older in the future?"

"There is no way, I'm busy and I'm not in enough staff, so I can only go on the battlefield."

Wang Yue lay on the couch, half-squinted his eyes to his senses. During this period, he was busy all the time. He never stopped after returning from Guangzhou Fanyu. He was busy in Jiangzhou and when he returned to Huangzhou, he was busy not only doing things but also socializing.

King Yuwen of Xiyang led his troops to Guangzhou Fanyu, pacified Jiaozhou and broke through the capital of Linyi. After thousands of miles of journey, merchants in Huangzhou followed him like shadows, and he had to make arrangements everywhere along the way. As the shopkeeper of King Xiyang, how could Wang Yue not be busy?

It is also thanks to the fact that there are many talents trained by the Xiyang Prince's Mansion. There are people who take the lead in Yecheng, Anlu, Xiangyang, Shangkou, Nanchang, and Fanyu. Wang Yue does not feel like a clever wife is unable to cook without rice.

But this has reached its limit, because many people use it as two people. As the confidant of the King of Xiyang, Wang Yue knew that even the female relatives in the royal palace were busy, so what was it like to be a little tired?

Wang Yue opened his eyes and looked at his wife, smiled and said, "The King of Xiyang has great kindness to me and my husband, so it doesn't matter if he is tired of his husband."

Of course, Gu understood this truth, but she was worried that Wang Yue would become tired or sick if he was busy like this. Not to mention that Wang Yue had to be busy with the business of the Xiyang Wangfu, he also had to take into account his own industry. She was also very busy at home and outside.

Back then, Wang Yue was a native of Chen, who managed industries for a senior official of the court and ran around doing business abroad. Later, because of the glazed mirror, he had a friendship with Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County of Zhou at that time.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Yue and his wife were targeted by Chen Shuling, the king of Chen Guoshixing, who was invincible. Life is worse than death. It was Yuwen Wen who saved the couple. From then on, Wang Yue became the boss of Yuwen Wen.

Time flies, and eight years pass quickly. The Duke of Xiyang County became the King of Xiyang, and the lives of Wang Yue and his wife also undergo earth-shaking changes. Wang Yue is responsible for managing the property of Xiyang Prince's Mansion, and the King of Xiyang does not blindly treat him as a servant.

Yuwen Wen is very generous to the shopkeepers who have made outstanding contributions. Most of the industries under his name allow the shopkeepers to invest in shares, and even transfer some industries to the shopkeepers to operate. The Wangfu only distributes dividends according to shares until the end of the year, so Wang Yue is not only the shopkeeper of King Xiyang, but also his own shopkeeper.

He is busy all day long, not only for the King of Xiyang, but also for himself and this family. But he is really busy lately because the stall suddenly increased several times and there are not enough people.

Seeing Wang Yue's tired look, Gu hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will the King of Xiyang be back? The King of Xiyang is back, I think it will be more convenient to transfer personnel."

"Who knows, this matter has to be decided by the court."

......

"When will the king come back, the court has the final say."

Zhang Yu picked up the wine glass, and touched Lin Youdi, Hu Sanzi, and Zhang Yiman, and then drank it all. His dark face was a little red. His alcohol tolerance had already been developed, so he was not drunk after drinking for several rounds of drinks at all.

"The king can't figure out when he can get the team, so I just need to do my own job. When I came back from Fanyu, the king specifically explained that everyone was busy during this period. After a while, I would take a good rest."

Zhang Yu said slowly. He and Lin Youdi and others were old acquaintances, so they had a close relationship. There was no need to be a taboo when talking about some "insider information": "The king said, if you want to see the sea, then make arrangements and take your family to Fanyu to stay for a few months and have fun."

"A Yu, I heard that the customs and customs on the Lingbei are very different from those on the Shannan. Miasma is rampant, so I don't know..."

Hu Sanzi and Zhang Yiman were obviously moved. Because they mastered the glass mirror manufacturing technology, they had been in Xiyang for more than eight years. Of course, they were fascinated by the vast sea. But if they really took Jia Xiao to Lingbing, they would be afraid of getting sick and dying from the way.

Lin Youdi was also a little moved. He stayed in the workshop all day long, and according to Yuwen Wen's plan, he led the craftsmen to think about all kinds of wonderful machinery. Although he would not be like Hu and Zhang, he also wanted to see the sea with his own eyes.

They followed Yuwen Wen, who was still the Duke of Xiyang County in Chang'an, and then came to Xiyang, Bazhou (Huangzhou), and then took root. Then they married a wife and had children. The poor boy's family was barely left, but now they have a wealth of wealth.

Together with Fu Youcai, the four of them were trusted servants of the King of Xiyang, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of the mansion of the Lord. Their wife and children lived in the King of Xiyang's manor and enjoyed various benefits. The expenses were not large and the income was quite abundant. Over time, the money and food on hand were even richer than ordinary well-off families.

But no one wants to leave the palace and become independent because they are used to such a life. However, what Lin Youdi and others envied is Zhang Yu, because unlike them who are staying in Xiyang, Zhang Yu is really a fish entering the sea and seeing many great worlds.

Zhang Yu has been out for more than a year and is busy with what he is doing. Hu Sanzi and Zhang Yiman don’t know. Lin Youdi knows a rough idea, but they won’t ask, and Zhang Yu won’t say it either.

Zhang Yu and his companions went out for more than a year, but no news came back. Just as the family members were restless, the King of Xiyang, who was in Fanyu, ordered people to bring back good news: Zhang Yu and others came back safely and returned to Xiyang today.

From Fanyu to Xiyang, unless it is a postman who conveys emergency messages, it will take at least a month on the road. Zhang Yu and others returned to Xiyang several days ago and finally reunited with their family. They have been very busy these days, busy during the day and at night.

Zhang Yu talked about Fanyu's customs and culture in detail. When he saw several people who wanted to go but didn't dare to go, he explained with a smile: "Old Ma is from the northern country. He was not suitable for the environment when he first arrived in Huangzhou. When I saw him at Fanyu, he was alive and sick. Anyway, he would be healthy and drink more herbal tea, so there would be no problem."

"But the climate on the ridge is indeed hot, and it is said that it will not snow in winter. If you are worried that your family can't stand it, then wait a little longer. After the court pacifies the south of the Yangtze River, you can go to Guangling to see the Guangling tide, or go to the coastal area of ​​Huainan to see the sea."

When it comes to the current situation, Lin Youdi and others are most concerned about whether they will take Jiankang or when the King of Xiyang will come back. The reason is that in the past six months, the scale of the government's industry has expanded too quickly, and the stalls are too big, and there are too many things, and there are not enough manpower.

"The king actually wants to come back soon, but he has not received the imperial edict from the court and is not allowed to leave his post without permission." Zhang Yu said this and suddenly changed his subject: "There is really a shortage of people in the mansion?"

"Yes, I'm busy everywhere, I'm using one person as two, and I'm short of people everywhere."

Zhang Yu was helpless when he heard this. He lived in Hakka Port, Japan for more than half a year and felt that there was insufficient staff in sea trade. After returning this time, he wanted to get Yuwen Wen's consent and allocate newcomers to travel to Japan with him. As a result, it seems that it is really...

Lin Youdi is busy, Hu Sanzi, Zhang Yiman is busy, Fu Youcai is busy, everyone is busy and lacks manpower. Zhang Yu feels that he may have to find another way to solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

After he came back, he went to Badong City for a while and drank several rounds of wine with the old neighbors of the Xiangyang Navy. He used the alcohol to half-true and half-fake to mention Fanyu's sea trade situation. Many young people became interested, so Zhang Yu felt that he could find another way.

"By the way, when will Amin and the others come back?"

"Oh, who knows, the princess and the prince are visiting relatives in Yecheng. It is said that the emperor is about to get married. After the matter is over, the princess and prince will be back. I think Amin and the others will come back together."
