Pan Jinlian controls the entire Wang family's asset operations, but her control is mainly limited to major strategic and decision-making matters. The specific operations, management, scheduling, and overall planning all fall to Meng Yulou, who comes from an experienced merchant family.
If Pan Jinlian is the chairman, then Meng Yulou is the general manager.
As long as the management is done properly, on the right track and in a virtuous cycle, there will be no problems in the subsequent development of the Wang family. Otherwise, there will be no input but only output, and the family business will be ruined in a few years, no matter how large it is.
So after a day or two of cooperation, Mrs. Pan understood the importance of Meng Yulou in the Wang family.
At present, the land and shops under the Wang family's name are mainly concentrated in Qinghe, Yanggu, Yuncheng counties and Dongping Prefecture. Meng Yulou plans to use two months to inspect each one one by one, and all pass through the sieve. Those who should be replaced must be replaced, and those who should be replaced must be replaced.
What needs to be rectified must be rectified.
This sounds simple to say, but it is actually not easy to do.
Wang Lin is not interested in these things.
He left it to Pan Jinlian and Meng Yulou to discuss the matter and completely turned into a hands-off shopkeeper.
After staying at home with the girls for two more days, Wang Lin said goodbye to them and left Qinghe County alone to rush to Tokyo. Only Wu Song sent Wang Lin to Yuncheng County before returning.
Wang Lin spent the night with Chao Gai and Wu Yong at Chao Gaizhuang in Yuncheng County.
He left Yuncheng early the next morning, but instead of going straight to Tokyo, he took a detour to Xiangzhou.
Xiangzhou is modern Anyang, Henan, close to Linzhang, Hebei.
We rode hard all the way and entered Xiangzhou in two days.
After crossing the Tangshui, which was about dozens of meters wide, a quaint and desolate small city appeared in Wang Lin's field of vision.
The name of the city is Tangyin.
It's the end of May, the season when grass grows and orioles fly. There are acres of farmland on both sides of the official road leading to Tangyin County, and farmers are busy working among them from time to time.
Wang Lin led the horse and laughed loudly at a thirty-year-old man in the field on the side of the road: "I would like to ask this big brother, is there a Yuejiazhuang near our Tangyin County?"
The farmer continued to work hard without looking up. He pointed to the east and said, "More than ten miles to the east, there is Yuejiazhuang."
Wang Lin cupped his hands and thanked him, got on his horse and galloped eastward.
In less than half an hour, Wang Lin found Yuejiazhuang.
This village is not big, with about a hundred households.
There is a small river meandering outside the village. Judging from the direction, it should flow into the Yellow River. Naturally, there are large areas of extremely fertile farmland on both sides of the river, where wheat is about to mature. The waves of wheat are rolling in the wind.
Wang Lin dismounted and stood at the entrance of the village, looking inside. He saw seven or eight farm children running from the village, most of them barefoot, and surrounded him.
Obviously, there are very few outsiders in the village, so when you suddenly see a stranger, you are very wary.
The first boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, had his upper body naked and actually held a stick as thick as a wrist in his hand. He stared at Wang Lin and said in a low voice, "Who are you? What are you doing in our Yuejiazhuang?"
Wang Lin spread his hands and smiled, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Of course he came to look for Yue Fei, and also to see if he could meet the famous Northern Song Dynasty martial arts master Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong was known as the "Iron Arm of Shaanxi Heroes". His first apprentice was Hebei Yuqilin Lu Junyi, his second apprentice was Shi Wengong, and his third apprentice was Leopard Tou Lin Chong. He also taught martial arts to Wu Song and Lu Zhishen.
Wang Lin has verified this from Wu Song.
Judging by the era name, Yue Fei is still a fifteen-year-old boy now. It is said that he is Zhou Tong's closed disciple.
Zhou Tong ended up living in Tangyin for some unknown reason, so he took Yue Fei and others as his disciples.
Therefore, Wang Lin could not say that he came to a strange village to visit an unknown peasant child.
It seemed that his delay in speaking aroused the young man's alarm. He put the stick in his hand on his shoulder and took two steps back, ready to attack like a fierce little leopard. It seemed that as long as Wang Lin did something wrong, he would
Then he will be hit with a stick and a stick.
"Yue San, don't be rude to your guests!"
With a slight scolding, a gentle man in his forties hurriedly walked out of the village.
This man was wearing a long cloth coat and looked Wang Lin up and down.
Seeing Wang Lin's gorgeous clothes and elegant demeanor, dressed as a scholar but holding a bright silver gun and leading a tall horse, he knew he was not an ordinary person, so he smiled and greeted him: "I'm in Yuehe, may I ask what your surname is, Mr. Gao, and why you're here?"
My Yuejiazhuang?"
Yue He? Could this man be Yue Fei’s father?
Wang Lin's mind flashed with lightning and he bowed his hands and returned the greeting: "Xiaosheng is from Qinghe County, Shandong Province. His surname is Wang Minglin. This time he went to Beijing to take the scientific examination. Unexpectedly, he took a sidetrack and ended up in our Tangyin County by mistake."
Yue He said, hurriedly looked Wang Lin up and down again, and asked in surprise: "Is the young master the tiger-fighting hero in Qinghe County, Shandong Province, the junior official Wang Lin who is known as the martial arts star in the world and the reincarnation of the Overlord of Chu?"
Tangyin is actually not too far away from Shandong. It is normal for the reputation of the tiger-fighting hero to spread to the surrounding areas of Hebei and Henan in more than a month.
Wang Lin smiled: "The young man is Wang Lin, but I don't want to be a tiger-fighting hero."
…
Wang Lin, a tiger fighting hero from Shandong, came to the village. The news spread quickly. When Wang Lin followed Yue He into the village with a horse and a gun, the whole village was alarmed and ran out to watch the fun.
Everyone in the village was watching, and the villagers were talking about it.
Wang Lin followed Yue He to his house with a slight smile on his face, but he didn't see Yue Fei, so he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"It's getting late now, so why not rest for the night under the roof and set off tomorrow. The farmhouse is simple and simple, so it's a shame for a small official."
After entering his home, Yue He hurriedly called his mother-in-law Yao to come over and pay homage to Wang Lin.
"I have seen a small official." Although this Yao family has a thick skirt and jade hairpin, she has a dignified appearance and is quite polite. She is by no means an ordinary peasant woman.
Wang Lin did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the gift.
This is the person who tattooed "loyalty and bravery to serve the country" on Yue Fei's back. Not only has a profound sense of righteousness, but at least she is a respectable woman with good knowledge and a great mother.
"This will disturb Brother Yue."
Wang Lin stood in the courtyard of Yue He's house and looked around. He saw four or five thatched huts, stone tables and benches in the courtyard, and three cattle tied to the backyard. He knew that the Yue family's economic conditions were pretty good.
At least he is a wealthy family in this village.
So he asked casually: "Brother Yue...how many children do you have at home?"
"Back to the little official, I have a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter has already married into a prostitute. I only have a son named Yue Fei. He is currently studying martial arts with a master in Linzhuang and has not returned home." Yue He looked up at the sky and smiled again.
Said: "It's almost time to come back!"
"Please let me come in and wait for tea!"
…
Wang Lin had free time to sit in the living room of Yue's house, waiting for the arrival of young Yue Fei. It was not exactly exciting, but he was looking forward to it.
He heard Yue He and his wife whispering in the courtyard.
"Ms. sir, how could you just bring a stranger to our house to stay overnight without knowing where he came from? What if..."
"Don't think too much! This is the tiger fighting hero of Shandong! You have seen him too, what an elegant and handsome man. He took the wrong road and strayed into our Yuejiazhuang. It was fate. What's the point of staying overnight?"
Yao Shi said softly: "But such a gentle and handsome guy can still beat a fierce tiger? I really don't believe it."
Yue He used his mouth to nudge the bright silver spear that Wang Lin had casually placed in the courtyard: "This spear is made of pure iron. I'm afraid it weighs one or two hundred pounds? You can see that the young official's spear is as light as weight, and you know that he is quite capable."
.”
Wang Lin chuckled to himself in the room, Yue Fei's father still had some experience.
In addition to his personal hard work, Wang Lin thought that Yue Fei's subsequent fame and achievements were due to the genetics and precepts and deeds of the Yue family.
