“Yeah. Cousin, when can you pick some for us?”

Now having learned doing business from Shopkeeper Hong and Shopkeeper Zhang, Zhang Qing also became quite smooth-tongued, and made jokes with them now and then, like they were real brothers.

“No! If everyone has one, ours aren’t that rare then.”

“Ha ha…”

Ling Jingxuan words decisively made everyone on spot laugh. Now they didn’t lack of anything, and everyone was quite capable, and they wouldn’t take it from anyone now. Their days were so substantial and comfortable.

“The tied will set out in early February. I don’t know what that land is like now.”

Staying up late for the New Year’s Eve was different from the modern times. They didn’t have TV or computers to kill time, so they could only chat. They were all young men, of course the main subject was their business and the land.

“It’ll be like it is supposed to be. After the tides fall, after some time’s drying, we can hire people to work on it then. Plant sorghums in March. Leave it to dad. With Old Zou and his son and Zheng Da to help him, everything will be OK. This year, we should plant rice early. After the Lantern Festival, let Old Zhou start to cultivate the seedlings. The fact proves that two seasons of rice was plausible. Why not do it? Jingpeng, forget about things in the land. Put more thoughts on the business of Baiyunge and Xinyuan. After the New Year, see if there’s any good land to buy outside the entrance of the village. We can buy dozens of mu of land to build the production lines for Baiyunge and recruit women workers from those nearby villages. And let Shuiling, Lady Zhang and Xiaosui to assist you. About the factories here, I will empty them for some other use. Things like washing and drying the mushrooms will still be done here. I will leave it to you and Qing to take care of it. By the way, buy some people worthy to be trained from Guarantor Liu. We got too few trustworthy managing staff. So we have to manage them ourselves.”

The people they hired were bound to leave one day, and since this world was a legal place to buy and sell people, he would take it as an opportunity, and if they did not betray him, he’d consider removing their slave registration.

“Well, we know, big brother, next year I would like to go to the prefecture or some other towns to gain some experience, what do you think?”

Nodding h, Ling Jingpeng said so. They got brother Zhao and others to take care of the mushroom business, and his dad and old Zhou and others to take care of the land, and his big brother as the master at home. In recent months, he had learned a lot from him, so he felt that he still had a lot to learn.

“All right. Next year, the main thing is planting. The business of Baiyun cabinet and the mushrooms, we have Qing and Brother Han. So it’s better you can go out to learn something. You can take Zhou Er with you.”

This time, Ling Jingxuan didn’t dismiss his opinions, after all, his younger brother also wanted to be strong for him as soon as possible to share his burden, Binding them by his side wouldn’t do any good to their growth. So when he should let go, he would let go. Maybe they’d suffer, or meet some difficulties, that was the price to pay for their growth. So he thought it might not be a bad thing.

“Jingpeng, how about going to the border cities?”

Before Ling Jingpeng felt happy, Yan Shengrui suddenly said so, all the people looked at him strangely, the borders were at war. They heard that it was extremely dangerous in spring. Why would he make such a suggestion?

“May I ask why?”

Ling Jingpeng did not immediately refuse, but looked at him like waiting for an answer. Under Yan Shengrui’s eyes flashed some satisfying light and he said slowly, “Because both Xinyuan and Baiyunge have no branches there. If you want to train yourself, you should go to the place that could train you most. The boarder city has all kinds of people there, the best place to help you grow. As for the safety, you can rest assured. Duke Zeng’s army has stationed there. And I will also send people to protect you in the dark. By the way, I want you to take a letter for me. When you get there, you take the letter to see Duke Zeng. He will cover you.”

Ling Jinghan would take the exams for xiucai in January, and the imperial examination in autumn might not be problem for him. It’d be all right if he failed the one in March next year. He could arrange him into the imperial academy, at that time, one could say he already had one foot in the court. Jingpeng’s growing speed was fast, but still a bit slower than Jinghan. He wanted to ease his wife’s burden, so it was time to teach them something.

Ling Jingpeng was silent, in his head he was fast processing the possibility to go to the boarders. If he decided to go, he should set out in a few days, after all he still wanted to make it back before his big brother gave birth, meanwhile, he wanted to open the branches there. He didn’t have much time. If he didn’t go there, it seemed that he’d grow too slowly under his big brother’s wings. So he was thinking whether it was time to arouse his potential and take over all the businesses at home quickly. Brother Rui said right. Since he had the heart, he should go to the place that could most train him if he wanted to grow up in the shortest time and share his big brother’s burden.

Seeing that, Ling Jingxuan also didn’t cut in or stop him. Since Yan Shengrui said it was safe, he didn’t have to worry too much. Still those words. It was a good thing that his younger brother wanted to shoulder more. If there was a quick way, he would approve of it. So he seemed to have no reason to stop him. On the other side, Ling Jinghan also held the same thought. So to go or not go, Ling Jingpeng had the final say. Whatever decision he made, as his brothers, they would all support him.
