Chapter 353
After dinner, the children returned to their respective yards, took an early rest, and did not move around again.

Cheng Xue took Ging Guo and Bai Wei for a final inspection in the front yard.

In fact, she is not needed for this job at all, but idle thoughts are just random thoughts, so it would be better to be busy.A large convoy has been arranged and Youzheng is arriving at the front door.For the materials that Li Hui brought back from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Wen Tian set off northward with the convoy in the afternoon.That batch of things is very important, and nothing should go wrong along the way.So Cheng Xue arranged for Yongxi, Chengxi, and Gastrodia to follow him as a precaution.

They don't have to worry about the cost of transporting supplies, it's all paid by the government, including the family.

Needless to say, the Liangyan Dynasty still provided very good benefits to officials dispatched abroad. They provided food, accommodation, and accommodation at the inn, and they were also reimbursed for things like hiring a fleet of vehicles.

"Madam, do we need to send two people to follow this batch of things?" Bai Shao asked.

Hearing this, Cheng Xue looked at the few boxes and cages left, shook her head, and said:

"Four of them have already left. There's no need to follow them. There's nothing valuable."

Just as he was talking, Tiandong came in from outside, bowed his hands and said:
"Madam, Manager Zhang from Main Street is here."

The two stewards on the main street and the north of the city are both named Zhang. Since they are brothers, one is called "big" and the other is "little".

"What's the matter with him?"

"I said I was reimbursing you, and Mr. Xiao specifically told me before he left," Tiandong replied.

Cheng Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled at Bai Guo, who immediately went to the concierge to fetch someone.

It was too late to go to the main house, so we met in the living room in the front yard.

Manager Zhang Da came in with the box in his arms. After putting it down, he got to the point:
"Second boss, before the eldest boss leaves, please tell me that when you leave, the store's accounts will be completed. This is the amount of money you should share in all the income of the five stores as of noon today. Please You click."

She had seen Li Hui do summarization. It was not a job that could be completed in a day or two. All the accounts could be summed up in one afternoon. It was inseparable from the accounting gentlemen behind him.

I opened the box politely. There were account books on the top and banknotes on the bottom. I picked it up and flipped through it. All the accounts were clear and very clear.She knew that house shopping was very profitable, but it was beyond her expectation that she could make such a profit.

"The second boss, before the eldest boss left, he asked the villain to take [-]% of the money he could get before the Mid-Autumn Festival to send cotton clothes and food to the north. The villain has already found a cloth shop and a fleet of vehicles in the city. , promise to send it to the north before winter."

Cheng Xue read the last number, put down the account book, frowned and asked:
"What do you know about the North?"

"Back at the second boss's house, I don't know much about the Northern Territory. I only know that it is the only city in our country that is built next to the Northern Territory's defense line. And..."

"No, wait a minute. The northern city is building a defense line? Are you sure?" Cheng Xue was shocked.

In her impression, the capitals of various states are located in the middle of the country, such as Liaodong Prefecture, Guangyuan Prefecture, etc.

Manager Zhang Da was also a little shocked when he heard this. After all, the woman in front of him was from Liaodong, and Liaodong bordered the northern border. She shouldn't have known it.

"Yes, the second boss heard it right. It is on the northern edge of Liangyan Station, close to Beiqi Mojia. It is said that the northern city is not big, not as big as Hongyang County, which is thirty miles away from the capital. The population is small, and there are mountains and forests there, and there is not much arable land, so it is the poorest place in the Liangyan Dynasty."

Good guy, even though she had prepared herself mentally early, she still didn't expect the result to be so shocking.

Poverty, little arable land, coupled with climate problems, Li Hui's start in hell mode this time!

No, there should be more, this guy has reservations.

Cheng Xue took a sip of tea and said calmly:

"What do you think of Dingbeihou?"

Manager Zhang Da pursed his lips tightly and took a long time before he said:

"Although I grew up in the Xiao family, I don't know much about the big families in the capital. I only know that Dingbei Hou once supported the emperor's registration and that Concubine Xian in the palace is his eldest daughter."

Seeing that he didn't say anything further, Cheng Xue continued to ask:
"Anything else?" "No." Manager Zhang shook his head, obviously unwilling to talk anymore, "Second owner, it's getting late and it's inconvenient for me to stay in the house. What do you think of the accounts?"

"It's all settled, no problem." Cheng Xue said as she took the seal from Bai Wei and buckled it.

Since they didn't want to talk about it and it wasn't easy for her to ask, everything would have to be discussed after they went to the North.After all, no matter how many questions she asks now, they are just words on paper and have no effect at all.

Bai Shao sent the person away, Cheng Xue counted the banknotes and let out a long sigh of relief.

If you have money and food, don't panic.

This is only the first half of the year. When the stir-fry house opens again in the second half of the year, the money distributed will be even more.When the time comes, we will buy several houses and farmland in the capital, and prepare enough for Li Yue's dowry first.

When the time came, the convoy took all the boxes away. Cheng Xue waited for the last box to be carried away before returning to the hospital. She would sleep until she woke up naturally tomorrow before rushing on.

There are so many capable people here, plus food and accommodation are all at the inn, so as long as we don't encounter bandits, there should be no problem.Even after some mental construction, her random thoughts still kept her from sleeping.

At the end of Haishi, the door of the house was quietly pushed open. You knew without asking that it must be Li Hui.

"Don't be so cautious, I didn't sleep."

Li Hui was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked as he walked:

"Why are you still up so late? Can't you sleep without me?"

Cheng Xue wanted to say "thick-skinned", but she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips.

"Well, I can't sleep without you. Where are Mr. Pang and him? Are they gone?"

"Let's go. The old man will see us off at the city gate tomorrow morning."

While talking, Cheng Xue took off her shoes and got on the kang. Smelling the scent of soap beans, Cheng Xue knew that he had already taken a bath.

"Drinking?"

"After a few drinks, the palace jade wine tastes quite good."

Cheng Xue urged him to lie down quickly and told her what Manager Zhang had told her about in the northern city.

"...Since you knew that Fucheng was on the border defense line, why didn't you tell me? I'm so surprised today. Not to mention how embarrassing it is. Zhang Da looks like a fool."

After finishing speaking, I didn’t hear Li Hui’s voice for a long time, not only urging:

"Talking to you, are you asleep?"

"No." Li Hui replied, "I thought you knew, so I didn't say anything. Wanghe Village had talked about this for a while, but you have no memory?"

Cheng Xue recalled carefully again, then shook her head and said:
"Not really."

"Forget it if you don't. It doesn't matter whether we go there or not. You have to be careful when you first go there and try not to go out all the time. Even when Bai Shao and the others go out, they have to ask Shunxi and Wenxi to follow them. There are quite a lot of people over there. messy."

"What kind of chaos? Is it related to the troops stationed in the North?"

When Li Hui heard this, he reached out and pinched her cheek in the dark.

"You're lucky that you're a girl, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fight you. Go to sleep, and I'll be on my way tomorrow. I'll tell you when we get there."
