Chapter 148: I thought
Li Qian lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "There's nothing wrong with me here." Just wanted to come and see you. You also know that I left Beijing this time, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and there are some things I want to talk to you about when I leave. Hear from you! ā
But it doesn't have to be that way!
Jiang Xian didn't believe it very much, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Is this really the case?"
"That's true." Li Qian smiled, as if he was in good spirits, raised his head, his eyes were shining with stars, and his smile became warm, "I went back to Shanxi in mid-March." You may not know that my father had a military advisor, who used to be a low-ranking talent, but because of a gap with the clan, he left his hometown. Later, I met my father, and the two fell in love, so he followed my father to the cottage and became my father's military advisor. In those years, my father was able to stand on his feet, thanks to his help in advice. Later, my father was powerful, and the court came to recruit An, but my father didn't want to. felt that after Zhao'an, he would have to be controlled by others, and the court would only give him a positive five products at most. Later, it was Mr. Fu Yu, oh, it was the military advisor, he helped come forward and gave Wu Yandao, the governor of Shanxi at the time, a lot of silver, and also took Wu Yandao's handle, Wu Yandao had no choice, so he tried to protect my father. After my father recruited An, he was the chief soldier of the three products, and he also became a feudal official. My dad was very grateful to him and listened to him in almost everything. ā
"When we went to Fujian, he told my father that people leave their hometowns and go to Fujian as a last resort, and we still have to go back to Shanxi in the end. Otherwise, it can really only be like the meat on the board, to be slaughtered. ā
"He discussed with my father and quietly left nearly half of the soldiers and horses in Shanxi."
Li Qian is telling her about the history of the Li family!
Jiang Xian listened with relish.
In her previous life, she inquired, but everyone said it vaguely, and there were even rumors that Li Changqing's stepfamily was Wu Yandao's daughter, so Wu Yandao would desperately protect Li Changqing in front of Empress Dowager Cao.
She really went to look it up.
It turned out that this was not the case at all.
Wu Yandao has many wives and concubines, but no children.
"What kind of trick did you have with Wu Yandao?" She asked curiously.
Li Qian smiled: "I don't know either. My dad didn't tell me, but every time he brought it up, he was dismissive. If you're wondering, I'm going to ask my dad one day. ā
In that case, forget it!
"Not at all." Jiang Xian smiled, "I just think it's strange, a person like Wu Yandao, ordinary tricks are definitely not enough for him to help your family get ahead." Your Fuyu military division is still quite powerful. ā
"Indeed." Li Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Otherwise, the Li family would not have come to this day safely." He continued, "When I went back this time, I took the token that my father left behind to find these people. However, things are not people. Some of them wept with joy when they saw my token, and soon called the children of their families out to meet me and handed them over to me. There are also some flickering words, who only recognize me after trying my strength, and some who pretend not to know at all and make fun of my ......"
Isn't that normal?
The Li family has been away from Shanxi for so many years, unless it is a reborn person like him, no one is sure where they will go, admitting, tempting, and refusing are all human affections, why does Li Qian repeat it at length?
Jiang Xian was a little puzzled.
Li Qian smiled: "I'm just a little emotional. ā
As soon as he said this, Jiang Xian understood. She smiled: "However, looking at your current appearance, you should still gain more than you lose, right?"
"yes!" Li Qian did not deny it, and admitted very frankly in front of her, "Although the troops are a little smaller, there are many people who can stand alone." I have already asked my father to give the empress dowager an excerpt, and ask her to find a way to get the emperor to agree to our group practice. But it's less likely. Next to us there are Xuanfu, Datong, Yulin, Shanhaiguan several important towns, when the Tartars came to attack, they sent troops to resist, Shanxi General Military Mansion, like a chicken, I checked the history books, it seems that there was a year when the minister built yƬ canceled ......"
But it was not canceled until she became the queen mother.
The main reason is that the cabinet feels that it can contain the forces of the Xuanfu and Daetong important towns and play a role in balancing and restraining them.
Could it be that Li Qian is distressed by this matter?
Jiang Xian thought for a while and said, "You can change the method and method!" ā
Li Qian looked at her silently for a while with a look of surprise, and then said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Xian was not happy when he heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" Don't believe me?"
"No, no." Li Qian was surprised and said busily, "I didn't mean that." I'm not in a hurry about it. Several military advisors got together and didn't come up with any good solutions, and I was so surprised to hear you say that there was a way. As he spoke, he diligently took out a small box from under the coffee table, opened the box and handed it to Jiang Xian, and said, "Eat sugar!" It is the sugar of Jiangnan Xuetaozhai. ā
Jiangnan Xuetaozhai was the first to sell frosted sugar, and after several generations of painstaking management, Xuetaozhai has become the largest sugar merchant in Jiangnan.
Jiang Xian knew about this shop.
She chose a white one among the colorful candy balls.
Li Qian hurriedly said: "This is lychee-flavored." Afraid that she didn't understand, she explained, "It's a kind of Lingnan fruit, with red or cyan skin on the outside and white flesh on the inside......"
"I've eaten it." Jiang Xian smiled, "In the past, Fujian paid tribute. ā
But that's after she hung the curtain and listened to politics.
Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Zhao Xiao.
The lychees paid tribute in the palace are those in Zhao Xiao's filial piety palace.
When Li Qian heard this, he smiled and pointed to one of the red sugar balls, and said, "This is begonia-flavored." Pointing to the yellow sugar ball, "This one is passion fruit." ā
Jiang Xian had never heard of a passion fruit, and said, "What is passion fruit?"
Li Qian explained to her again.
The two of them talked for a long time about this small box of sugar balls, so much so that Jiang Xian felt that it was a bit far, and brought up the matter of trying to make the Li family raise a private army in a bright way, and the two stopped the topic.
"It's definitely not okay to organize a group exercise." Jiang Xian said in a deep voice, "But it depends on what you think?" Blindly stumbling on this is just a waste of time, to see who can survive whom? But the Li family definitely doesn't have this strength, and it's almost the same as the Jiang family. But your purpose is to train privateers, and that's different. As long as it's in your name, as long as it's all under your command, as long as they're soldiers, won't it be?"
Li Qian's mind was still a little unturnable.
This is the difference between the Empress Dowager Regent who used to be the Queen Mother and the Tyrant who is running towards the overlord of the northwest.
Jiang Xian unceremoniously glanced at Li Qian and said, "Do you know what the treasury has lacked in the past few years?" Lack of silver! Without silver, where will the salary of the Nine Sides come from? Where does the grain and grass come from in the army without silver? Without silver, where do those merchants who are moved by the wind come from?"
And if there are no merchants on the nine sides, it will slowly decline.
