The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Wang Ye is now home and dare not go back. He can only avoid Luo Xiaoyi carefully every day, for fear that she will kick him again if she is unhappy.

Wang Ye himself didn't know why that girl didn't look good every time she saw her. She always scrambled to eat with her when she was eating. If Du Sanniang hadn't been kind enough to help her pick up food, she would probably have to just put white rice with cold rice.

I was simply bored at home these two days. The county government urged Wang Ye to take office every day, so I had to take Ma Zhou and Baruo to Jingyang County, arrange some personnel and ask them to find Ma Zhou if they have any questions. Under Ma Zhou's resentful eyes, he took Baruo to the market.

Looking at the various lanterns hanging on both sides of the street and the puzzles hanging on the branches, Wang Ye finally felt a little of the coming of Tang Dynasty. Seeing that Ba Ruo on the side was also staring at the surrounding scene with curiosity, Wang Ye asked with a smile.

"Baru, since you can say what we are here, why did you pretend not to understand that day?"

Baruo smiled and said, "The City Lord doesn't know anything. My ancient Subi country has always admired the Central Plains. All the nobles have to learn the Central Plains language and writing since childhood. The Queen also encourages everyone to learn the Central Plains culture and farming and smelting technology. Therefore, Baruo has been influenced by his childhood."

Wang also nodded and said in confusion: "I also understand Subi's ancient country. It records that it is a highly developed civilization. Why is it now..."

Baruo shook his head and said helplessly: "The City Lord is right. At my peak, I had tens of thousands of citizens. The yield per mu of farming was not inferior to that of the former Sui Dynasty. Iron smelting technology once became the largest economic industry in the country. However, the two queens were extremely desolate and did not care about the state's government, which gave Tubo an opportunity to take advantage of it. In just ten years, it became a small subordinate country."

Wang also patted Baruo's arm. There was no way. Baruo was two meters tall and fifteen meters tall, two heads taller than Wang. He pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Baruo, comforting him: "Now that you are determined to follow me, then don't think about that much. The most important thing for a person is to live and live a good life. Thinking too much is just a matter of trouble."

"The city lord said yes." Baruo nodded respectfully.

"By the way, have your brother found it?" Wang also suddenly remembered that Baruo said that there was a younger brother in the slaves of this new deal and asked curiously.

Baruo felt warm when he heard this and nodded: "I found it. I would like to thank the city lord this time. If you hadn't specifically explained Gerdongzan, Lunqin would have been escorted to the royal city to sell."

Lunchen is Baruo's younger brother. It is said that he was a soldier under Baruo's tent. He was captured because of his defeat and the two brothers were separated for a while. After the king bought Baruo and the others, Baruo knelt down and asked Wang to help him, willing to exchange freedom for reunion with his younger brother Lunchen. The king was also very happy and asked Ma Zhou to contact Gerdonzan overnight to help find it. Now it is hard work pays off. Finally, he comes with the second batch of slaves.

"That's good. I will arrange a farm for you in Zhangjiagou tomorrow so that you two brothers can have a place to settle down." Wang Ye said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Baluo, thank you, Lord. I am willing to spend fire and fire for you in this life!" Baluo was extremely excited when he heard that Wang Ye had to arrange a village for him, but after avoiding Wang Ye's sight, his eyes flashed, as if he was worried.

Wang Ye naturally didn't know, so he just smiled slightly, shook his head and continued shopping. Seeing this, Baruo hurriedly followed.

The two of them looked around for a while and saw a luxuriously decorated second-floor loft with two elephant-shaped paper lanterns in front of the door. Wang also looked up, but saw three words on the plaque [Cuiyuxuan], marked with small words in the lower right corner: Jingyang Branch.

"Cuiyuxuan? I remember it is the Wang family's property?" Wang also said to himself.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the store, dressed like a nouveau riche, with ten rings on his hands.

When the middle-aged man saw a strangely dressed man at the door, he thought he was a guest and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Oh, welcome two distinguished guests to my Cuiyuxuan. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

When Wang Ye saw the middle-aged man approaching, he suddenly felt that he had seen this person, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to look at his fat face and recall it.

"Huh? Is this the prince-in-law, the magistrate of Wang County?" The middle-aged man approached and saw Wang Ye and asked curiously.

When Wang Ye heard this, he said strangely: "Oh? Do you know me?"

When the middle-aged man saw that Wang also admitted his identity, he hurriedly bowed respectfully and said flatteringly: "What a sir! Wang is polite. I don't know that the sir has come to visit and has never been welcomed. Please forgive me!"

The king waved his hand indifferently and asked in confusion: "You? Have we seen it somewhere?"

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I have seen it. When the adults held a soap agent sale, Wang once took my lady to go with me. I was lucky enough to give me a bottle of perfume."

Wang also suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered that you are Wang Shigui from the Wang family of Taiyuan, and you are only one word short of my father's name. I remembered you because of your name, hahaha."

Wang Shigui asked in confusion: "Name?"

Wang also waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's nothing, nothing, it's just that the shopkeeper Wang is in charge of the family business in Chang'an City? Why are he still here in person to open a store in Jingyang, a small place?"

Wang Shigui was still thinking about what Wang Ye said about a word of the name. When he saw Wang Ye ask, he hurriedly replied: "I don't know anything. Nowadays, with more and more people gathering in Jingyang County to work, and the workshops you are in charge are mostly in Jingyang, many merchants from other places are also moving and come to look for business opportunities. Naturally, my Wang family cannot fall behind, haha."

"Oh? Is this happening?" Wang Ye asked curiously when he saw that it was related to him.

Seeing that the opportunity to flatter him came, Wang Shigui quickly explained: "In fact, it is also Gao Yi, who paid the workers a month and kept food and accommodation. This ordinary young man can save money to marry a wife by only one year of work. Therefore, many Zhuangren from other prefectures and counties rushed to Jingyang when they heard the news."

Wang Ye frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Do you say many people come to Jingyang to find jobs?"

"That's right, there are probably more than a thousand people in the past few days, and they are all taken away by the old manager of General Cheng's mansion." Wang Shigui replied.

After hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes twitched. He remembered Cheng Yaojin's slutty and finally knew why he was so short of people that he wanted to buy slaves. It seemed that he took the lead and arranged to go to the cement factory.

He shook his head helplessly, smiled at Wang Shigui and said, "Let's go in and take a look. Your new store is open, I'll support you."

Wang Shigui was happy when he heard this and said happily: "That's really a honor for Wang. A batch of high-quality mutton fat jade was introduced from the Western Regions. I'll show you this, hahaha."

······

On the way back to Tingyu Pavilion.

Wang Ye asked Baruo next to him in confusion: "Bruo, why didn't I buy those jade just now?"

Baruo looked at Wang Ye in confusion and asked, "What kind of stone is the city lord like?"

Wang Ye shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't like it either, but I need it, and I need it a lot."

Baruo asked again: "Is that stone valuable?"

"Yes, you have seen it too. Just a little bit of it costs me two thousand stale bars. How can it not be expensive?"

Hearing Wang Ye’s answer, Baruo said excitedly: “If the city lord needs that kind of stone, Baruo is willing to get it for you, and he needs as much as you want.”

"What?"

"It's just that kind of stone. I've seen it near the ancient city of Baruo. There are several mountains there. Many local refugees survive by digging that kind of stone for food."
