As the New Year approaches, envoys from various vassal states come to the capital one after another.
As the Minister of Rites, Yang Fan has become increasingly busy. It is no exaggeration to say that his heels are not touching the ground.
Although there is no need to receive the reception in person, the matter is extremely complicated.
During this period, Yang Fan experienced the blessings of 996 again.
Yang Fan, who was exhausted, had no choice but to hand over some of his affairs to Li Yifu, the future traitor.
Although this guy is a little obsessed with power, he is very capable and handles everything in an orderly manner.
Even though the guy looked sleep deprived, Li Yifu's energetic state of mind showed that he was obviously enjoying himself.
With such useful talents, Yang Fan is of course willing to delegate power.
As the saying goes, those at the top work hard, and those at the bottom work hard. As long as you grasp the general direction, it is a perfect excuse for laziness.
After finishing the affairs in hand, I looked at the time and saw that it was already two quarters to noon.
This made Yang Fan smile bitterly. Even though he was like a salted fish, he could not avoid the fate of working overtime.
If it had been in the past, it would have been worth it earlier.
Today can be regarded as the fastest day in this period, and it is because many tasks have been assigned to Li Yifu.
I stood up, stretched myself out, and looked into the distance. By this time, the snow on the trees and on the ground had already melted.
But the trees that were damaged by the snow looked a little gray, and even the evergreen leaves looked dull.
Ba licked his lips, and Yang Fan couldn't help but miss the delicious food at his house.
there's no way!
I go out early and come back late, all I eat is work food, and my mouth almost fades away from a bird.
I hurried back to my house, only to find myself feeling lonely.
After asking, I found out that Wu Meiniang and the others had gone out to check the accounts again.
I am really speechless. Her Majesty Empress Wu Zetian is really a workaholic. If she had grown up in modern times, she would have been a strong woman.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Just when he was thinking about what to eat, Wu Meiniang and Xing'er came in from outside.
As soon as she saw Yang Fan, Wu Meiniang walked a few steps quickly and came to Yang Fan. She raised her head and asked, "Husband, why are you back so early today?"
He took Wu Meiniang's little hand and felt it was cold. Yang Fan frowned and said angrily: "It's so cold, why do you run out every day? Can't you just ask a servant to go there? Look at how cold your hands are..."
Although the snow has melted, it is getting colder now.
Regarding Yang Fan's slightly reproachful tone, Wu Meiniang did not feel aggrieved. Instead, her heart was as sweet as honey.
Yang Fan cares so much about a concubine like herself, what else could she be dissatisfied with!
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang smiled: "Husband, Mei Niang didn't even feel the cold. It's okay. Husband, guess where Mei Niang went today?"
Seeing Wu Meiniang beaming with joy, Yang Fan joked: "Did Meiniang go to see the God of Wealth today and the God of Wealth gave you a silver tael?"
Wu Meiniang said arrogantly: "Humph, the God of Wealth is not as good as our husband, but he did earn a lot of silver. Today, Meiniang went to Yingke Building and Liuli Shop to check the accounts. Husband, guess how much we earned?
"
"Mei Niang, please tell me quickly and make your husband happy..." Yang Fan cooperated.
Wu Meiniang did not show off any more:
"The profit of Yingke Building is more than 200,000 yuan, but 60% of the profit has to be divided among several young masters. In addition, the Liuli shop made another 3 million yuan, but unfortunately our family only accounts for 10%, all because of that vixen
…”
"Does Meiniang want to accept the family law?" Seeing that Wu Meiniang was jealous of Princess Gaoyang again, Yang Fan patted the crotch with his big hand and smiled.
Wu Meiniang snorted, her eyes were as charming as silk, but she still quickly begged for mercy. She didn't want to sleep for a few days. There would be a lot of trouble at the end of the year!
Yang Fan laughed and was quite satisfied: "Mei Niang, tell me, the rules set by the husband, how should the jealous ones be punished?"
Wu Meiniang was extremely shy: "I will be whipped by my husband..."
Yang Fan was delighted: "Huh, it's good to know. Just remember this time. If you do it again, the punishment will be doubled!"
Wu Meiniang breathed a long sigh of relief and said coquettishly: "Husband, before I came back from the guest building just now, I have already asked my servants to inform a few young princes to come over. I will tell them about the accounts later."
"Okay, let the servants get ready..." Yang Fan waved his hand and agreed.
As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. Since there are benefits, of course they will receive dividends.
Besides, I haven't seen Cheng Chumo and the others for a long time, so we just took this opportunity to get together.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The speed at which Cheng Chumo and others were grabbing food slowed down, and Yang Fan said with a wry smile: "These brothers have suffered, have they been starved for several meals?"
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "Brother Yishan laughed at me. I stayed at the farm for a month. Because of the wound, I couldn't drink wine for more than a month. I was indeed a little greedy. The most important thing is that the food cooked by the cook in my house is simply delicious."
It’s pig food!”
Fang Yiai continued: "Yes, we are free on the farm. We can't get wet from the wind or the rain. Our skin is much whiter, but it's a bit uncomfortable not being able to drink."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his dark skin.
This left Yang Fan speechless. Does this count as white? Then wouldn’t he become a pretty boy?
Li Jingheng drained the wine in his glass, and then sighed: "We have been back for a while. I heard that brother, you are too busy, so you didn't come to disturb me. I finally satisfied my craving today, it's great..."
Du He and others echoed incessantly.
Yang Fan smiled slightly and said: "We are all brothers. If you don't disturb me, please treat this place as your home. You can come here whenever you want. However, during this time, brothers, I really can't get away..."
Du He was a little confused: "Then Brother Yishan called us here today..."
Yang Fan then took out his account book and said:
"In addition to wanting to get together with my brothers, this is Yingkelou's account book. The total operating income is 337,200 yuan, excluding dishes and various seasonings, labor expenses, taxes and other costs. Finally,
The actual profit is 210,000 yuan. Let's take a look. If there are no problems, then we will divide the money with everyone today!"
Cheng Chumo didn't even look at it but looked excited:
"I don't understand this thing. Besides, we are all brothers. Don't you still believe it? Can you just tell me how much it will be?"
"Yes, Brother Yishan, how much can we share?" Fang Yiai and the others also nodded fiercely.
This does not mean that they love money and have not seen the world.
It's because these people are usually lavish, and the money given by their families is limited, so they always spend it all before the end of the month.
Now that I can make money on my own, I am of course very happy.
Yang Fan chuckled, stood up, and opened a few boxes placed aside: "We jointly funded the guest building. According to the original agreement, you each share 15%, totaling 60%, totaling 120,000 yuan.
You can take the money for yourself later."
"Wouldn't it mean that each of us has 30,000 yuan, so we are rich..." Looking at several boxes full of money, Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed excitedly.
In fact, it's not surprising that he is like this. In this era when the monthly salary is only a few guan, 30,000 guan is an astronomical figure.
Even if they are born into a noble family, their monthly expenses are only tens to hundreds of dollars at most.
Nowadays, with such a large amount of money, many noble houses in Chang'an City don't have so much property!
