On the possibility of Wang Ye falling in love with a school tyrant

The winter of the seventh year of Chengtian was unusual, not to mention the series of turbulences that occurred in the courts of Dachu and Beiyan, the winter of this year was colder earlier than in previous years.

As soon as Bo Junhe woke up, before he even opened his eyes, there was a warm and delicate touch on his skin. It turned out that it was snowing in the middle of the night. For the first time since I was a child, I really think that it is very inhuman to get up early to practice martial arts.Fearing that Fu Donglou would be cold after he left, Bo Junhe specially wrapped his own quilt in Fu Donglou before putting on his pajamas and going outside to change clothes lightly.

The winter clothes of the Habayashi Army have always been released a quarter in advance, so the sudden drop in temperature did not cause much trouble to the Habayashi Army.When Fu Donglou was rectifying the military affairs in Hanzhong, he asked the cloth shop and workshop specially for military use to make zippers according to his drawings. Although it was too late to change all the winter clothes into clothes with zippers, the samples were still made. Now Bai Jun and Jiang Han are just looking fresh in military uniforms with zippers.Fu Donglou washed up and came to the front tent to see this scene.

"Zhuo Cheng, what are you looking at?"

"Look at your masterpiece." Bo Junhe shook a thin cotton coat in his hand, "This thing is really useful. Compared with fastening buttons, it saves time to pull this chain, and it saves time for the soldiers to get dressed faster. It is very beneficial to combat."

The zipper was once rated as one of the greatest inventions of mankind in the [-]th century. Fu Donglou not only wanted to apply zippers to clothing, but also wanted to make some marching backpacks and the like, which could be promoted to ordinary people in the future.It's just that metal is used for the zipper, and the workmanship is a bit more complicated for this time and space. I'm afraid the price will not be very cheap for a while.

"This thing can be used in many places, but the cost is a bit high. I'm still trying to reduce the consumption of production. There is also a Miaozong in our Habayashi Army, and the remaining scraps of weapons in the weapon workshop The material is just right for this stuff, and it saves waste.”

"Only you will think about it." He pulled Fu Donglou's hand and shook it a little harder. If it weren't for people like Jiang Han who were an eyesore, Bo Junhe would have put his arms around his wife and kissed her.

"When I get back to Chengdu, I'll find you a good embroiderer and cloth dyer. It will be even better if you can make that camouflage uniform you mentioned."

"Don't worry, how can I become fat with one bite." Fu Donglou snapped his fingers complacently, "I know a lot of things, how can I make them all at once, after all, it won't be cheap for outsiders."

The generals of the Habayashi Army knew exactly what Bo Junhe was going to do when he returned to Hanzhong after rushing to hand over the defensive troops.There is no slack in the Habayashi barracks, which seems to be peaceful, and all battalions are stepping up their training.But there are some things that Bo Junhe doesn’t say, and no one can speak. Jiang Han and the others stood up when they didn’t see Bo Junhe, and said: “The last general is also looking forward to His Highness’s masterpiece, so I won’t disturb the general and His Highness. Wait until you leave."

With that said, Jiang Han led the generals out of the camp.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Everyone who obstructed your eyes left, Bo Junhe hugged Fu Donglou and kissed him on the forehead, "Do you feel cold, and you've got under my quilt."

When he got up, he saw that he was wrapped in two quilts, and looking at where he was sleeping, Fu Donglou guessed a thing or two.At this time, I was somewhat embarrassed to be pierced by Bai Junhe, and I couldn't help but blush, but I didn't over-exaggerate, and said honestly: "Feng Yang told me that it was snowing outside, and I thought it was cold in the middle of the night before I came over. Affect your rest."

"How could it be?" Bai Junhe raised the corners of his lips, that was a satisfied one, "I can't ask for more."

Fu Donglou glared at Bo Junhe unceremoniously: "Look at you!"

After all, they still had business to do, and the two did not continue flirting. Bai Junhe was about to tell his wife about the plan in Chengdu, when the soldiers reported that Wang Qing's housekeeper asked to see him.

Bai Yi was in the Yulin Army, and Bai Junhe originally wanted to go to pay his respects every morning and evening.But Bai Yi's identity was not revealed, so Bai Jun and the boss went to see what a "servant" was, so they had no choice but to give up.

Asked the soldiers to let Bai Yi in, Bai Junhe invited Bai Yi to the upper seat and Fu Donglou to greet his father, and the three began to talk about business.

"He'er, the reason why Weifu came to the Habayashi Army is to facilitate the mobilization of manpower. Although Mu Yan didn't know that Weifu was still alive, he also became suspicious of tracking down Weifu's secret forces. Compared with Chengdu, you The Habayashi Army is the safest, but you still have to cover Weifu, so that no one will notice the movement of my tent."

Bo Junhe bowed in response: "Yes, my son will arrange it later."

"There is another matter. My father just received the news from Chengdu that Mu Yan has been traveling very frequently with the major families recently. On the surface, the banner is to select ladies for the emperor to fill the harem. Some of the disciples were selected to enter the palace to accompany the emperor to study and paint, but in fact, you and I know exactly what Mu Yan is thinking."

"Father and mother have been in charge of dealing with the major families before. Does the father mean to let the son intervene in this matter?"

"I want you to take precautions. The roots of those aristocratic families are not in Chengdu, but in Jiangnan. Although it is some distance from the capital, the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River is the main source of food and taxes for the imperial court. If there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, Chu will definitely be full of vitality." Injury. The property of the Wangfu in the south of the Yangtze River is not just for earning money, so as to keep those people in check."

The second half of Bai Yi's speech was for Fu Donglou.Since he hadn't returned to Chengdu yet, not all the books of the palace had been handed over, Fu Donglou didn't know much about the properties of the palace, and he couldn't keep up with Bai Yi and his son's thinking at the moment.

Seeing his father smiling at Fu Donglou, Bai Junhe immediately understood, and explained to Fu Donglou: "The palace has a lot of property, not just pocket money as you think. It's not just the porcelain you've been exposed to, grain and oil. Rice noodles, tea and silk, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even the royal palace with salt and iron franchises, most of which do not need to pay taxes to the imperial court. The imperial court has a fleet of merchant ships that you mentioned before, and half of the shares in it are For the Wangfu, the annual income of the Wangfu, among other things, is not bad for training a feathered army."

Fu Donglou almost choked to death with a sip of tea: Prince Emma, ​​you are too low-key, Fu Cheng has never seen you in this state before.How much does it cost to raise an army!It's no wonder that the imperial court has changed the way to deduct the salary of the Habayashi Army. The Habayashi Army is still full of combat effectiveness, and there is a cash cow in the Wangfu to support the scene.

"Father was afraid that the courtiers would criticize him for giving him too many rewards, so he gave all the original private property of the Bai family to the father. Later, he allocated a part of the imperial property from the inner palace to the palace for management. Naturally, the imperial property does not need to pay taxes. gone."

Fu Donglou was in a good mood, the late emperor was really nice to Bai Yi, even though he couldn't stay together forever, he did everything he could.Bai Yi obviously didn't have that kind of thought about his brother, but he didn't feel disgusted because of his brother's affection. He devoted his whole life to cheating death and was forced to separate from his lover and adopted son for ten years. He can be regarded as a good brother in China .

"You don't have to worry that you won't be able to take care of it if you can't get started. There are capable managers watching over these things. In the future, you will have your father to teach you when you take over." Seeing that Fu Donglou hadn't spoken for a long time, Bo Junhe thought he was It was because of too much pressure, so he was busy comforting him, "Uncle Gu Yi helped manage the property of the palace at the beginning, and the trade routes were all laid out, and it was not for the purpose of competing with the people for profit, so there is really no need to waste too much effort."

Uncle Gu Yi... Is Wang Taiqing your father or your mother?Fu Donglou complained silently, and when he saw Bai Yi sitting on top, he suddenly felt that his mind was wandering at the wrong time, so he immediately threw away this thought and got down to business.

"Zhuo Cheng, I'm not thinking about those things. After all, we have to wait until we settle down to take over the property. What I'm thinking about is how those aristocratic families will move." After speaking, Fu Donglou rested his chin in thought, and continued after a long while. , "Maybe I'm thinking too much, let me tell you, listen to it and discuss it together."

"In the back tent just now, Feng Yang kept telling me how cold it was when it was snowing outside. Some time ago when I was in Hanzhong, I read the imperial palace newspaper, saying that this year Jiangnan and other places were also cold early, and many farmers confiscated the grain. It was frozen, and Jiangnan’s taxes were less because of this. It can be seen that this winter will not be easy this year.”

"The weather is getting colder suddenly. Let's not talk about whether the food in the people's homes will be insufficient due to the reduction in production. The most important thing is cotton clothes and firewood. If the prices of cotton and firewood do not increase, the life of the people will be better. If it is much longer It is inevitable that some people will not be able to live on.”

"Throughout the history books, whenever there is an abnormal climate or a famine year, there are always some unscrupulous merchants hoarding wealth for the country. The nobles of the palace are already very rich and have their own industries, and those aristocratic families even have shops to do business, just for the sake of dignity. It’s all in the name of a servant. Whether it’s the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River or the Guanlong nobles who fled from the north, there must be no shortage of industries in the territory of Dachu. If they join forces to raise the price of rice, flour, cotton, and firewood, it will be another big disaster. Chaos."

"Haha, Lou'er's words are very heartfelt for my father. This is exactly what I came here to tell you. The news from the distance may take a few days to arrive, but many shops in Sichuan are stockpiling goods. Those are the shops of big families like the Wang family and the Xie family." Bai Yi couldn't stop nodding at Dong Lou, "Lou'er is really intelligent, it's not in vain for your father to keep praising you."

When Bai Junhe saw his father, Wang Dayue, he couldn't help but want to give Fu Donglou a chance to continue his performance.He thought that if Fu Donglou could figure out where the problem was, he must have one or two countermeasures, so he said, "Xiyu, what countermeasures do you have? Let's hear it."

Bo Junhe had long thought that the clans would take action in this regard, so he had a plan in mind, and he was not afraid that Fu Donglou would not be able to answer. He had already thought about what Yuanchang said, but he still had a good strategy for dealing with Donglou. expect.

"I don't know how strong the palace is in these people's livelihood businesses. It is best to sell these materials to the people at a low price in large quantities, and forcefully lower the prices. In this way, the more the aristocratic families accumulate, the more they will lose. In the end, they will definitely hurt their muscles. Bone-moving. But the premise of doing this is that the material resources of the palace are strong enough."

Regardless of whether Bai Junhao knew that Mu Yan was uniting the family to cause trouble, all of this was done under his indulgence, and Bai Junhao had an unshirkable responsibility. So much action on the table.That being the case, Fu Donglou didn't want to leave Bai Junhao with the good reputation of caring for the common people.

"But if the palace can't do it, then we can only ask the court to open a storehouse to release relief. I don't know how to make a good name for the palace. I don't know how to do it. You have to think about it yourself, Zhuo Cheng. But it doesn't matter. No matter what you do, the palace will lose a lot of money."

"Will the majestic Prince Rui's Mansion see the yellow and white things? Xiyu's ideas coincide with mine." The tacit understanding made Bai Jun and his limbs feel uncomfortable, and they got up and bowed to Bai Yi Said, "Father, my son's thinking is exactly the same as Xi Yu's, but my son thinks that this time the good reputation will fall on Xi Yu."

"Eh? Don't worry about it. Now is the time when you need your prestige the most, so why give me a good reputation." With his blue eyes wide open, Fu Donglou didn't expect Bai Yi to nod in agreement.

"Your good reputation is naturally the good reputation of Prince Rui's mansion. He'er is King Rui, so how can he suffer? Lou'er, compared to He'er ascending the throne, it will be more difficult for you to become queen. Plan ahead It is necessary." Bai Yi said and said to Bai Jun, "I think your big marriage will change again, even if the winter solstice can catch up, it won't be marrying Wang Qing, the emperor's big wedding is a big deal for me. This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it must be done in a big way, haha!"
