Number of romantic figures

Chapter 677
After taking a deep look at Feng Ziying, Feng Tang said no more, "Ziying, father knows that you have an idea, and father also knows that the north-south dispute may continue because of your plan to open the sea, um, Of course, it’s not your fault, it’s good that you want to plan something for Beidi, but you have to weigh whether it can be done, don’t rush for success.”

"Father, my son understands." Feng Ziying also knew that her father was worried that if she wished too much, but in the end it would be in vain, and she was afraid that the anger would be directed at herself, because of this, it was not worth it.

"In addition, although these Shanshan merchants have close ties with the scholars in Chaoli and Beidi, some of them are not so authentic, and they have connections with the Mongols and Jurchens outside the side wall. I don't need to remind you of this. You should know everything, how to distinguish, which ones can be cooperated, which ones can be supported, and which ones need to be defended, you have to know it yourself.”

It is very rare for Feng Tang to use such language to remind anyone.

Originally, I thought that my son was well-learned and knowledgeable, but given his age, this good-for-nothing scholar who observes politics and entered the Imperial Academy should settle down for a few years, let's talk about accumulation.

Unexpectedly, the momentum of this popularity was beyond anyone's imagination, many of which should have been reminded by his teachers, and now Feng Tang had to join in, lest his son get carried away.

Feng Ziying naturally knew the virtues of these Shanshan businessmen.

To be precise, this is a huge group of mixed fish and dragons, including down-to-earth merchants who aim to circulate goods around the world, as well as the kind of gamblers who specialize in opportunistic betting on border officials to make a living by following Lu Buwei's example, and there are those who A character who bets on both sides by accumulating contacts from all sides.

The latter, in particular, regards Great Zhou as the jug, Mongolia and Jurchen as the cup, and is completely profit-oriented, ignoring possible consequences.

Seeing Feng Ziying's serious expression, Feng Tang didn't say too deeply, knowing that his son should have considered these things, how to choose a partner, not only his son at the helm, but also people like Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia to check is.

"Well, you go, come to my study at night, I also want to tell you something about Liaodong." Feng Tang waved his hand.

Originally I wanted to go to Maxiang Hutong, but after hearing what my father said, I had no choice but to give up, but Feng Ziying really wanted to discuss the Liaodong strategy with her father.

It was fine before, but now that my father has gone to Liaodong, all the pressure is on my shoulders. I wanted my father to come back quickly after a few years, but my father completely overturned Feng Ziying's previous impression. I think it might not be a bad thing for my father to go to Liaodong.

Judging from the timeline, the Jianzhou Jurchen has not yet developed to the point where it cannot be contained. Even if the Wula tribe is really annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchen, as long as the Yehe tribe is ensured, and the Horqin people are suppressed so that they do not completely fall to the Jianzhou Jurchen, Then the Jianzhou Jurchen don't even think about going south easily.

Of course, the key of the key is to recognize the father to quickly grasp Liaodong Town, the most powerful border town in the Great Zhou.

With the departure of Li Chengliang, the morale of this army is also rapidly disintegrating. If it cannot be cheered up quickly, it will be difficult to restore to the state of reassuring the court in the future. That's why Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke are so eager to ask the old man to hurry up Before taking office, at least the morale and morale of the army must be stabilized first.

Stabilizing the morale of the army is nothing more than two strategies. One is to win the battle, and the other is to ensure the supply of food and salaries. This strategy seems to be even more practical and effective than the first strategy.

Of course, if you want to truly hold this army in your hands, you have to win two battles solidly, and the most fundamental guarantee for winning a battle is to ensure that the supply is sufficient.

As soon as the old man came back, the whole Feng residence immediately became lively like a festival.

In addition to the sudden increase in the number of visiting guests, the faces of everyone around the house are lively, at least the faces of the old lady and a few aunts are always smiling, and the chances of getting rewards with the servants are several times higher than usual .

The old man returned to Beijing after retiring from the Yulin General Soldier this time, and he was returning home in good clothes, and he would not go to Yulin again. Naturally, he wanted to bring back all the things that should be brought back.

Regarding the return of the military commanders with glory, both the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Long Jinwei are relatively lenient. Even if there are some bullets, the emperor will not send them.

People go to the battlefield to fight their lives for several years, and when they come back from a victorious battle, they are not allowed to make a fortune. There is no such reason in the world. This is the simplest philosophy of this era.

Leather goods, gold sand, furs, good horses, there are inevitably some things like pearls, emeralds and gems. After all, Ningxia, Gansu is connected to the west, and there are many such things.

"Ziying's marriage should be set in December. It will be a happy new year when we get married." Sitting on the kang, Feng Tang took a sip of the lotus seed soup brought up, "I went to the Shen family to write a letter. Going to Liaodong, I'm afraid I don't know when I can come back, Ziying may not be able to come back even if she gets married,..."

Mrs. Da Duan sat at the other end of the kang, while Mrs. Duan, Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Xie all sat in the lower chairs.

"How does the master think about the matter of the Lin family over there?" Mrs. Da Duan couldn't help asking one more question.

"Since Ziying likes her and is engaged, can she go back on her word?" Feng Tang saw his wife's thoughts and shook his head.

I'm afraid that Lin Ruhai's death, and that this daughter of the Lin family has become an orphan, is not so appropriate. These days, the death of both parents of the woman is indeed not a good marriage, but you can go back on your word before getting engaged, but after you get engaged, you have to regret the marriage, that is It's another matter, it's self-defeating, especially for literati, Feng Tang certainly wouldn't agree.

Da Duan couldn't help but hide it, "I think Miss Lin is too weak, what if..."

"Didn't you say that there is another sister from a concubine to marry?" Feng Tang frowned, "Could it be that her sister is also emaciated?"

"That's not true, it's just that I inquired about that woman, she seems to be a little cold and arrogant..." Mrs. Da Duan hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't really matter, as long as you can have children, it's fine, not to mention that the Lin family may not be unable to have children." Feng Tang waved his hand, "Once we are engaged, there is no need to talk about such things. Our Feng family is a respectable family now, anyway, Don't be laughed at, Ziying's status is even more unusual now, you should be cautious about getting married, but once you are settled, you can't change it easily."

"Since the master said so, then just do as the master said. When we come down, let the mansion go to discuss with the Shen family, so that the specific matters can be arranged earlier." Seeing that her husband's attitude is so firm, Da Duan said Say no more.

Feng Tang also knew what his wife was worried about. After all, the Lin family had the third room, which was his own room. From Duan's heart, he still hoped to be safe. A big deal.

"Don't worry too much. You couldn't see this woman when you were young. You were almost thirty when you gave birth to Ziying?" Feng Tang comforted Duan. Duan's health was not very good when he was young. It was also after more than ten years of marriage that Feng Ziying was born.

"It is precisely because of my concubine's status that the master only has this one son, so I am not willing to let Ziying make the same mistakes." Duan was also a little sad.

Apart from myself, the few concubines in the family are also not up to the mark, except for Su who gave birth to a daughter, there is no younger sister.

The frailty of the Feng family really makes people worry, so she attaches great importance to this matter, and thanks to Ziying's hard work, she has earned a second wife. Although it is nominally to continue the incense for the eldest house, Ziying is her own son after all. Could it be possible that the sons and daughters of this girl from the Shen family don't call her grandmother?
"Sister, don't think too much. Miss Lin is still young, so she can't see anything, but I saw Miss Miaoyu. She is tall and plump, and she seems fertile." Xiao Duan continued, " Besides, if it's really bad, Jin Chuan'er in Ziying's house is also fertile. I called Baoxiang to ask about it the day before yesterday and said that Ziying's two outer rooms in Maxiang Hutong They are all born with big butts, even though they are Hu girls, as long as they can give birth to sons, they are also from the blood of our Feng family..."

The fact that Feng Ziying raised two outhouses in Maxiang Hutong has long been rumored in the mansion, but Feng Ziying never mentioned it to others. When asked by the younger and younger Duan, Feng Ziying also mentioned it vaguely, but did not deny it.

Feng Tang pondered for a moment, "Why don't you, Wanqin, talk to Ziying, and if it doesn't work, let the second girl enter the mansion first?"

It is not a special case to take a concubine before marrying a wife, but since there are many small households, it is necessary to be cautious when marrying such a wealthy family.

It doesn't matter if it's a concubine in the mansion, but the concubine is a good concubine of a decent family outside. According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is disrespectful to the wife. Fang girl, even if she has children before getting married, she will not carry a concubine for the time being, and wait until the main wife enters the family, and then come to carry a concubine, which can also avoid many disputes.

The big and small Duan clans hesitated for a moment, and finally the big Duan clan shook his head: "It's been half a year or so, let's wait for Shen clan to pass through the door before bringing them in."

"Well, whatever, it's only been half a year." Feng Tang also nodded, "How many girls are there in Ziying's room now?"

"Four, but Ziying arranged for Yuchuaner to serve that Miaoyu girl." Xiao Duan said.

"Well, all three were sent from Jia's house?" Feng Tang seemed to be smiling but not a smile, "Ziying doesn't like the ones in our house so much? Is the one from Jia's house so attractive to him?"

Speaking of this, Da Duan was also a little annoyed, "I don't know if Ziying has been poisoned by the Jia family's ecstasy. There are many pretty girls in our house, but he just doesn't like her. Except for Yunshang, ..."
