A heavy snow covered Sha County, and Lu Lin sat at the door of the room, watching through the window Chen Xiaomai and Yuanbao making a snowman.
Chen Xiaomi walked up to Lu Lin, "The snow is a bit heavy!"
Lu Lin nodded, "Yes!"
Sha County is much colder than Lin Town. Although he has been here for several years, Lu Lin is still not used to it.
In autumn, Lu Lin called on the villagers to prepare for the cold and frost, and there should be no problem in surviving the winter.
After several years of development, basically every household in Shaxian County has built kangs. This really poor family has also been funded by the government to build kangs. If there are kangs, winter should be much better.
Lu Lin lay down in front of the table and said, "When winter comes, I don't want to get up!"
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "You don't want to get up in summer, and spring and autumn too."
Lu Lin: "..." It's human nature to be lazy, to get up too early is to have nothing to do.
Wheat rolled two big snowballs, and the two snowballs were stacked higher than a person, which looked spectacular.
"What a majestic snowman! This wheat is really not an ordinary person, and this snowman is also different from ordinary people.
Yuan Bao yelled around the snowman, Lu Lin looked at Mai and Yuan Bao who were enjoying themselves, shook his head, and thought: These two are really not afraid of freezing, their physique is really enviable.
Chong Chong sat in the stroller, kicking his legs constantly, as if he wanted to get out of the car and join in.
Lu Lin found that he was the only one in the family who was very afraid of the cold. With such a group of people, he seemed very weak, which was really troublesome.
Chen Xiaomi walked over, and carried Chong Chong out of the car, "One year is going to pass!" Lu Lin nodded. This year passed by really quickly. In a blink of an eye, he came here The world, it has been more than eight years.
"I don't know what will happen next year." Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "According to the current trend, it should get better and better."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "I hope so."
Chen Xiaomai walked up to Lu Lin, "Brother Lin, look at the snowman I made."
Lu Lin rubbed Chen Maimai's head and said, "Not bad, not bad, the snowman you made is very heroic."
Chen Mai nodded and said, "The snowman I built is taller than you."
Lu Lin: "..." Wheat, that brat, is outrageous.
Wearing a tiger-head cap, Yuan Bao bounced over and threw himself into Lu Lin's arms.
Dad, let's go eat hot pot. Recently, the business of Second Uncle's restaurant is not good, so let's increase his popularity.
Lu Lin: "..." If you want to eat and drink for free, just say it, but you even made such a high-sounding reason, my son may be a profiteer in the future.
Lu Lin took Chen Maimai and others to the hot pot restaurant. Although it was snowing outside, there were many customers inside the hot pot restaurant who were drinking and chatting.
Several service staff in the store are very busy.
Lu Lin asked for a private room and sat in. Lu Lin put Chong Chong in the special baby seat.
The baby seat in the store is specially made by Lu Lin according to the seats he saw in the store before. Sitting in the high baby seat can touch the table.
This kind of seat is very popular and has been promoted in Sha County.
After the launch of this kind of seat, some people deliberately brought their children to the store to eat in order to experience this kind of seat.
Chen Xiaomai ordered six small bottles of wine, and Chong Chong was very interested in the pottery small wine bottles. Seeing this, Lu Lin poured out the wine in the jug, and stuffed the small wine jug to Chong Chong. It was out of stock, and a little annoyed, he threw the flagon out.
Lu Lin looked at Chong Chong's arm strength, and vaguely felt that this son is not easy to mess with! Chen Xiaomi squinted his eyes happily while eating hot pot, "This hot pot is really delicious." No matter how many times he eats, Chen Xiaomi can eat hot pot When I was there, I was still intoxicated.
Time flies, and soon winter is over.
When spring came, Lu Lin welcomed Ji Chengkang as a guest.
"General Ji, long time no see." Before, when the prince came, Lu Lin and Ji Chengkang had a lot of contact. Later, after winter, the two had less contact. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a while. up.
Ji Chengkang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, Ershao Chen's business is getting better and better!" Lu Lin smiled and said, "Where, where, he just does some small business. It's just a business." Ji Chengkang smiled, and said: "Young Master Chen is in a small business, and there are not many people who do big business."
Ji Chengkang took out an envelope and said, "This is the bank note that Yun'an brought over recently, and it's for Chen Ershao."
Lu Lin was a little surprised and said, "Can the story of Journey to the West still be sold?" Lu Lin thought to himself: It is indeed one of the four famous works, but it is popular. This book can sell so much money , If you get a few more stories, you should be able to earn more money.
Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "Well, it has been selling well."
This story book can sell so much money, which is somewhat beyond Ji Chengkang's expectations. He has been arguing with his superiors for a little military funds, but those bastards always deduct his military expenses harshly. Next, Yun'an and Chen Xiaocai are spending a lot of money just selling a storybook, which really makes him envious and ashamed!
"If you sell more stories, you will get rich." To sell more stories, he just needs to sit and count the money.
Ji Chengkang glanced at Lu Lin, and said helplessly, "Ordinary stories can't sell that much, they have to be novel enough."
Lu Lin: "..." Novelty is not a problem. When he visited the store in his previous life, he read all kinds of novels. He knew a lot of strange stories. Just taking out a few of them is enough to make the people of this place feel happy. Eye-opening.
"General Ji came to see me, what's the matter?" Lu Lin asked.
Ji Chengkang smiled wryly, and said: "I was too busy chatting, and almost forgot the business. I came here mainly to tell you about the Liao Kingdom..."
Lu Lin's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Liao Kingdom is about to fight again."
Ji Chengkang looked at Lu Lin's sudden face change, and said helplessly, "No."
Lu Lin suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and restrained his expression in embarrassment, and said solemnly: "It's good not to fight. Once the war starts, the people will bear the brunt of the brunt!"
Ji Chengkang smiled, and secretly said: Although Lu Lin is unparalleled in intelligence and has countless ideas in his mind, he seems to be a little greedy for life and afraid of death. However, there is no way, after all, there are few people in this world who are not afraid of death.
Lu Lin talked with Ji Chengkang for a while, and sent him away with some joy.
Chen Xiaomi came out and said, "General Ji is gone, what's the matter with him?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "He came here for a business, but it's a good thing."
"Good thing." Chen Xiaomi was delighted when he heard that. "What a good thing!"
Lu Lin held his chin and said, "Maybe the Liao Kingdom will establish diplomatic relations with our country?"
Chen Xiaomi was a little surprised and said: "Is that so?" It has been several years since the previous war. After the truce, the two countries have remained frozen. If the two countries establish diplomatic relations, it is possible to resume trade.
"Is the news ready?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
"What General Ji said must not be groundless." Lu Lin said.
"You are here. You may be busy recently. Lu Lin said that some special scenic spots will be built." Chen Xiaomi said.
Chen Xiaocai frowned, and said, "What are you doing with Fei, no one came after this!"
Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said: "This foreign country intends to negotiate peace, reopen the trade between the two countries, and send envoys to our country. According to General Ji's intention, some foreign nobles may come here recently. The cattle and horses on the foreign country's side Sheep are good things. Once the commercial road is reopened, there will be too many profitable businesses here. I am afraid that many people will come. Relatively speaking, the situation here will become chaotic. This foreign horse is in the capital. It is very popular, and some good-looking horses can even be bought for nearly a hundred taels.”
Chen Xiaocai said excitedly: "Is that so? Then we must hurry up."
Chen Xiaocai has been taking care of a street in Shaxian County recently, and he doesn't have any new projects in hand.
The income from the street that was opened before is very stable, which is completely enough. However, there is nothing to do, and Chen Xiaocai feels a little bored.
Chen Xiaomi said happily: "Originally, there is not much oil and water in Sha County, but maybe this will soon become a sweet pastry that everyone is vying for."
Chen Xiaomi thought to himself: When I bought Sha County, I was just greedy for cheap. However, if the business route is reopened, it may be a rare opportunity.
Chen Xiaocai said excitedly: "In this way, it's not a big profit."
If the trade routes are reopened, the shops in Sha County should be worth twice as much in an instant.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Lin has allocated a few pieces of land for you. You can build another commercial street before the news spreads and seize the opportunity."
Chen Xiaocai blinked and said, "Is there such a good thing?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "I heard from General Ji, after returning to the capital, the prince seems to have done a lot of publicity for Sha County, and some disciples from rich families in Kyoto may come here soon."
Chen Xiaocai was taken aback by Chen Xiaomi's words, "No way, the disciples from rich families in Kyoto would come here just for a bite to eat?"
"It's not for the sake of one bite, of course, but if we establish diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom, there will be various things. The imperial court should send people to deal with them. There should be many people who want to come over. This matter will be dealt with. If it is good, it will be a great credit." Chen Xiaomi said
Chen Xiaocai blinked, feeling vaguely that a big deal was coming.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Chen Xiaocai and said, "Go and prepare."
Now that Lu Lin is an official, it is inconvenient for him to do many things by himself. However, it is still possible to give Chen Xiaolai some convenience with his power.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said, "Okay! I heard that someone has dug a hot spring in the mountains, and maybe they can build that hot spring hotel that Brother Lin mentioned."
Chen Xiaomi said excitedly, "The hot springs are real or fake."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "It should be true."
It is said that it is a place where several mountain people take a bath in winter. However, because it is relatively remote, no one pays attention to it. Some time ago, Brother Lin offered a reward for finding a hot mountain spring.
Chen Xiaomi rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Although this warm spring water is miraculous, it's just hot water, and no matter how full he is, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Chen Xiaomi said a little depressed: "Is it a bit biased? It's not easy to develop like this!"
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Yes! I'll go to Brother Lin to discuss it. It might be a big project."
Chen Xiaocai excitedly ran towards the county government office. To Chen Xiaocai, money is just a number, and being able to use the money in his hand to create some weird things is the key. Chen Xiaocai is interested in a shop on a street in Shaxian County, which has been widely acclaimed, and Chen Xiaocai himself feels proud.
