Chapter 82: The Little Treasury

The final account book is very trivial, there are large inputs, there are also small sums, occasionally accompanied by some fragments, and the amount accumulated along the way is not less than the Baili Fang, which was already slightly famous at the beginning.

Chu Hao looked at Ruan Bai, who was completely wilted, pulled the dog's paw and pinched it, signaling that he would be punished later.

Ruan Bai picked the corners of his mouth, his eyes narrowed, revealing a smile. He knew that Chu Hao was comforting him. Chu Hao is a bright person, and he said that he would leave the logistics to him, and he would leave it all to him. Now not to mention the financial power of the family, even the financial power of his thousand-household mansion is actually under his control.

In fact, Ruan Bai should also be involved in the real power of some logistics materials in Shunyang Pass...... However, these things obviously won't be taken out, and even Ruan Bai's so-called private money may indeed have reasons such as being handy for a while, but in the final analysis, these things are visible.

The things that really rub the edges, Ruan Bai hides them well, and he will definitely not bring them out because he is nervous.

After all, the two of them get along day and night, and Ruan Bai's hiding is not aimed at him, and there is no secret between the two of them.

King Pingxi looked at the ledger intently, and the contents on it were almost all political achievements.

The least prominent one is the improvement of the wheelbarrow. However, there is no shortage of inputs. Judging by what follows, it's a long-term business. In addition to modularizing the production and maintenance of unicycles, Nguyen Bai was also responsible for purchasing spare parts for the army, and after refurbishing and refitting, selling them to some merchants who did not have such high requirements for unicycles at a suitable price. Most of the difference, except for a portion of the hardship money he left behind, was returned to the army.

King Pingxi only did a little math and knew the benefits of doing so. Nguyen Bai made money; The army has a sturdy and reliable use of wheelbarrows, and there is also a financial compensation; Merchants also benefited.

Judging from the short-term and individual spare parts, Ruan Bai made almost no money in this area. But I can't stand the volume. Especially once the war starts, the transportation and transmission of various materials, the consumption of wheelbarrows is definitely not a small amount.

In addition, the usefulness of the kang is no longer necessary, it is a good thing that is beneficial to people's livelihood; The abacus is now also popular in the royal palace, and its role in calculating accounts is obvious; The role of stirrups and horseshoes is only waiting for the final end of the big battle in front of us......

Others, such as the appearance of the army, such as planting trees and flowers, writing letters on behalf of others, can only be said to be the icing on the cake on the above thick and colorful works.

The white tooth tree is a solid cheap wood, but it can't stand it and grows fast, and it looks good. The saplings that were planted at the beginning of the spring, about three or five years old, have been noticeably taller in less than a few months, and although the leaves are small, the canopy is dense and green. Under the shade of the sparsely tended trees, wildflowers are growing all over the ground.

Traveling in the middle of summer is not an easy task, sitting in the carriage, even if the curtain is opened, it is still stuffy. If you ride a horse, it's not stuffy, but the sun is shining brightly, and it's even hotter. King Pingxi is better, such as the princess, who is not usually used to riding horses, can wear off a layer of skin on her legs after riding for a long time.

How could the king of Pingxi be reluctant? So, when it comes to rushing, the speed is actually very limited. It's just that the husband and wife come out alone, but they can get rid of the big army behind them for a day or two. Since passing through Leyang Town, I didn't expect the scenery to change, and the neat and wide boulevards brought even psychological cooling, which made the princess feel a lot more comfortable.

In this way, Ruan Bai is still a small post at the border until now, which is the biggest unreasonableness. With so many real achievements, he has changed from a sixth-class post to a fifth-class post post.

The more King Pingxi looked at it, the more angry he became, when was it so difficult for a post to be promoted? A large number of inactive officials in the DPRK and the central government, every time they are evaluated, they can still find their hearts and minds to brag about their performance in office like flowers. Didn't the emperor's little old man bully their second child when there was no one in his family?!

King Pingxi's anger was obvious, Ruan Bai was like sitting on pins and needles, and subconsciously leaned towards Chu Hao's side. The house is small, and there are no armrests for the chairs except for the recliners. At this moment, the two chairs were tightly pressed together, and Chu Hao simply reached out to support Ruan Bai's shoulder, his face was even more ugly than his father: What is fierce, what should I do if I am afraid of the dog of Ergou?

The princess sat on the side, silently watching the small movements of the two people. From her son's letter, she knew that Chu Hao's love was a little wrong. In the letters to and from home, even if Ruan Bai is mentioned in length and frequency, the love brought out between the lines is really eye-catching.

But before she came, she was quite optimistic. Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, her son is not open at all in terms of feelings, otherwise when he grows up to this age, who of other families does not know anything? As far as her son is concerned, stupidly, in addition to governing the place, his mind is to march and set up.

She originally thought that if Ruan Bai fell in love after coming, she would recognize this godson, turn around and bring him back to Xijing, and when Chu Hao came back from the war, she would send people to the capital for exercise. While the Ministry of Industry was swollen by Ruan Bai, a supernumerary member, his face was swollen, and he stared at Ruan Bai tightly, which was almost known to passers-by. Ruan Bai tossed so many things back and forth, obviously he has both talent and talent in this regard, and he will definitely be able to develop well in the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, in the past few years, two people will not be able to meet, and no matter how strong the relationship is, it will become weaker. When Qiฤ“ settles down, the two will only be left with the purest brotherhood......

The communication with Ruan Bai lost the initiative at the beginning, but it is undeniable that Ruan Bai is a child who is likable enough, and her eyes are good enough. Looking at Ruan Bai, who was so nervous that she couldn't sit still, the princess was rarely a little soft-hearted. She sighed softly, all the planned qiฤ“ had been broken before she came, and now she was a little unsure of how to speak.

In the face of those black and white eyes looking at her eyes, she couldn't simply and rudely use power to suppress, and she couldn't speak ill of her. Ruan Bai and Chu Hao are together, and she doesn't need to be explained by others, she knows that it must be her son who abducted other people's children.

The record on Ruan Bai's private account book seems to be too terrifying in the eyes of King Pingxi, and only the Ruan Bai in front of him can be barely reasonable if he is replaced by an old man who is only eight years old. But Ruan Bai is only fifteen. A fifteen-year-old can do this, what was he doing when he was fifteen? Even his son, whom he had always been proud of, did not achieve much at the age of fifteen. No matter how biased his heart was, he couldn't say that Ruan Bai was not worthy of his son......

Counting down, he stopped at the last payment and asked, "What is a telescope?" "Something new that just tossed out? With the previous few bottoms, King Pingxi naturally looked forward to new things. A telescope, as the name suggests, means being able to see in the distance? And the price is ...... It's ridiculously expensive!

Although this topic is a bit off track and is not in line with the current marriage event, it is the beginning of an exchange.

Ruan Bai regained a little control over himself, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and explained simply: "The telescope is a tool that I made with the help of King Yue Ze, Master Tang of the Ministry of Industry and others, and I can see in the distance that my eyes can't see. โ€

Ruan Bai's explanation has always been dry, he believes in using physical objects to impress people, and he elbowed Chu Hao and signaled: "Where's your telescope?" โ€

Chu Hao was a little unwilling. The workmanship of the original telescopes can only be barely regarded as precise, but it is completely incompatible with delicacy, and the thing is large, and the effect of carrying it with you is like holding a small baseball bat.

Chu Hao went back to the room and handed the "baseball bat" to his father, and after his father stretched out his hand to hold it, he was reluctant to let go for a while, begging for a guarantee: "I'll return it to me after reading it in a while." โ€

King Pingxi looked at his son with disdain, and came up angrily: "Lao Tzu still rares you for this thing? "It doesn't look good, how can it be sold so expensive?

The use of the telescope is not difficult, Ruan Bai took the Pingxi Wang couple outside and briefly explained the usage

King Pingxi looked at it briefly, his face remained silent, he put down the binoculars, handed it to his wife, and said, "I'm a little hungry, tell me about dinner?" โ€

The princess glanced at King Pingxi, looked down at the telescope, and tried it herself. What a big fat dog! She lowered her binoculars and found that Chubby was still far away; Raise the binoculars and look again, and the little short hair on the fat dog can be seen clearly.

This is very interesting.

Chu Hao looked at his own mother with a blank eye, and explained dryly: "You will need to use it for a war in a while." "I can't give it to my mother to play with.

The princess shoved the binoculars into her son and muttered, "Stingy." โ€

it! Is this a matter of being stingy? Is it simply a matter of being stingy? Chu Hao wanted to jump to his feet, but when he thought of his mother's iron sand palm, he didn't dare to squeak more, and hid the telescope with a smoke.

King Pingxi looked at the place where Chu Hao hid things, it seemed to be the place where Ruan Bai took the account book just now, and while Ruan Bai was busy in the kitchen, he grabbed his son: "Stinky boy...... Do you sleep in the same room as Xiao Er? โ€

The princess's mind was still on the telescope, and when she heard this, she swept her gaze. His hands and feet are so fast, not at all like her stupid son.

Chu Hao looked at his father and mother, who had a very unkind face, and nodded slowly: "Hmm." I've been sleeping with my second brother for months. โ€

The princess slumped on her feet and sat back in her chair. She thought they were coming soon, but she didn't expect it to be so late.

Chu Hao pursed his lips. Even if he actually knew what he was doing with Ruan Bai in his heart, it was impossible for him to accept it as soon as he said it. But looking at their reaction now, he also feels uncomfortable.

"Dad, mother, it's all my fault, don't embarrass the second brother. When I met my second brother, he was a kid and didn't understand anything...... "This is a thorn in his heart." Although there are examples of same-sex marriage in Da Zhou, after all, they are very few, and most of them are still looked down upon, and in the eyes of some old fashionads, they are regarded as violating human ethics. If his Ruan Bai hadn't met him, with his talents, he shouldn't have suffered those ......

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I'll go and help my second brother cook." โ€

The husband and wife looked at their son's dejected appearance, and they were inevitably a little distressed. This is their only child, and he must be more concerned than anyone else. Chu Hao's expression has always been Xiร n, and he has never worried them. No matter how strict they are with Chu Hao, he seems to be able to do it easily. However, they didn't expect that the first time they would be so worried would be in such a situation.

They didn't even look at each other, as if they were each immersed in their own world thinking, two well-maintained hands that showed signs of age clasped together.

After a long time, the princess took the lead in speaking: "Xiao Er is a good child. "Their son deceived other children, what else can they say as parents?

"Hmm." King Pingxi nodded in response, and was silent for a while before sneering, "I'm afraid I'm going to get that person's will this time." โ€

The princess stretched out her other hand, put it on the back of King Pingxi's hand and patted it.

From beginning to end, the garden villa deposit that Ruan Bai was worried about was not in the consideration of the two of them at all, and they knew who married who would marry who by looking at their figures. Besides, with the accumulation of the Pingxi Palace, even with Ruan Bai's ability, I am afraid that he will have to struggle for several lifetimes to catch up. As for the heritage or something, it is even more needless to talk about.

Gender aside, Ruan Bai is indeed the best child they have ever seen, and the key is that their son likes it. Alas, their sons like......

In the kitchen, a table of dishes is already filled. Bowls are next to bowls, and pots are stacked on top of each other. When Chu Hao took another plate that Ruan Bai had served and put it on the table, he found that the plates had been stacked two and a half layers.

Usually, two people eat and it is not very rich. Three dishes and one soup, at most, the amount is larger. Now in summer, the dishes are even simpler. In many cases, it is a large plate of cold noodles with a large plate of white cut meat, served with chilled fruit wine or refreshing vegetable soup.

He turned around and clasped Ruan Bai's hand holding the kitchen knife: "Second brother, the dishes are enough, don't do it." โ€

"Oh." Ruan Bai responded as if he was stupid, and after a while he really listened to the words and put down the kitchen knife, "Oh." I'll serve dinner, and you go and call the prince and princess to eat. โ€

Chu Hao listened to Ruan Bai's call to retreat, his heart tightened suddenly, and the pain was so painful that he forgot to breathe for a moment. He took a step forward, quickly hugged Ruan Bai tightly, and whispered in his ear but firmly: "Brother has always been." โ€

"Hmm." Ruan Bai lingered on Chu Hao's embrace for a while, rubbed his head before pushing it open.

Chu Hao was a little uneasy, obviously it was only a few steps away, but he still turned around three times one step at a time, as if Ruan Baihui had suddenly disappeared.

When Chu Hao's figure was completely invisible, Ruan Bai lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, his mouth almost grinning behind his ears, with an exaggerated arc without a hint of laughter, full of bloodlust and hideousness.

! Who dares to rob his daughter-in-law!

When he was an agent on a fake? When he's a retired agent, he's a bully? Believe it or not, he knocked Chu Hao unconscious, and the two of them went to wander the world!

The world is so big, and there is not only one big week! Hey, rare! Sooner or later, โ–กโ–ก will come out......

Chu Hao didn't know that in the short time he went to call people, his cute, soft, well-behaved and sensible Ruan Ergou had already plowed the entire planet back and forth several times.

When King Pingxi stepped into the door, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and after calming down, the feeling disappeared, and he could only blame it on not taking his wife to eat in such a small place, worried that his wife would not be comfortable. As for himself, in the early years when the march was the hardest, it was good to have food, and it was impossible to talk about having a full meal, let alone paying attention to where to eat.

Ruan Bai tilted his head and looked at King Pingxi waiting for the princess to eat without a trace. The princess looked a little unaccustomed, but she was taken care of by King Pingxi very well.

The food is not spoken, and the meal is a little dull.

King Pingxi and the princess ate well, which can be seen from the frequency of the king of Pingxi to the princess, and from the number of meals left.

However, Chu Hao and Ruan Bai were a little unable to swallow.

This year, the time to eat is early. After the king and the princess of Pingxi finished eating, they went out for a walk.

Chu Hao explained: "My mother usually doesn't have much opportunity to wander around so casually outside. The others are still behind, and there are not many people in this place who know my parents, so I can just go shopping. โ€

Ruan Bai was a little confused, and he didn't know what kind of attitude they had, so he had no choice but to respond: "It's still early for the market to close the stalls." โ€

Along with the products here in Shunyang Pass, more and more have been excavated and integrated. The bazaar also began to become famous among traders. Different from the people who come to set up stalls, they basically have to rush back around noon; When they came, they lived in the bazaar, and they would always wait until it was dark to see anything clearly, and if the business was good, they would light the lamps in the courtyard.

As for the source of business, it is none other than the soldiers and generals in Shunyang Pass. Ten miles away, they have to run back and forth every morning, and they don't feel that it is far; When there is nothing to do at night, the comrades-in-arms gather in groups of three or five, and go out to shop together, even if they don't buy some novelties, they are lively; If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch up with the postmen to set up stalls to write letters...... Now the letter can be directly delivered to many places.

Pingxi Wang and his wife came all the way, but they didn't expect the evening market to be more lively than the daytime. The goods range from fur herbs, to needles and threads, delicate and crude.

With a little deliberateness, the couple put aside the impact they received in the afternoon, bought a lot of things that they didn't need at all, and came back to Chu Hao and Ruan Bai to a bunch, no matter what they thought, they went back to the room of the post house to rest.

Ruan Bai looked at the things on the table, his face was a little strange, he raised his finger and poked Chu Hao's waist: "Your father and mother agree to this?" โ€

Chu Hao rubbed his chin, his brows furrowed, and he didn't dare to draw a conclusion: "I don't know." "The lessons from childhood to adulthood told him that he was the only one who was toyed with by his father and mother in applause. There have been less than two hours before and after knowing such a big thing in front of them, from knowing it to just now, can they accept it so quickly?

Ruan Bai pushed Chu Hao to fetch water and wash: "Your father and mother have no objection to us continuing to live in the same room." โ€

If you really don't accept it, the first step must be to isolate and take care of it. Living in a room, sleeping in a bed, lying on a bed or something, you don't have to think about it.

Chu Hao was also stunned by Ruan Baiyi's words, and after thinking about it, he didn't understand what his father and mother were unfathomable. But no matter how entangled he was, he still slept on the pillow.

He's a little tired these days. It's not all his own business. Among the thousand households, although he has the most soldiers; But he can't stand it with a "virtuous helper" who helps him get a trivial matter, even better than he gets it himself.

All he needs to do is arrange tasks and train for his soldiers. He has a detailed plan for these, and he is used to doing them usually, and he only needs to follow the steps step by step, and it doesn't take much effort.

What kept him so busy was the task sent by General Cao. In a group of generals who were busy with dogs, he seemed to be too idle, and he was arrested by General Cao. Whoever can't be busy, let him go up. There is a practical need for this, and it is also deliberately done by General Cao. Clear-eyed people know that after this battle, he, a thousand households, is estimated to be unable to continue to stay in Shunyang Pass. Before that, General Cao had to let him go through all the things he had to learn, which could be regarded as a disguised officialdom operation.

As for General Cao himself, he will take a part of the Cao family army out of the city gate and go to the grassland in the second half of the night. Early tomorrow morning, when Chu Hao wakes up, the entire Shunyang Pass will be handed over to him. He was tired, but it wasn't that he couldn't hold on; But he knew he had to take a break, or he wouldn't have time to rest for the next few months.

Ruan Bai himself was too, forcing himself to fall asleep.

Neither Chu Hao nor General Cao would tell him about this information that could be considered a military secret. But to say that he really didn't know anything was to be false. Not to mention anything else, General Cao left with so many people, the news was very tightly hidden, and all the material transfers were arranged by him personally. When receiving this task, General Cao also hinted that he would be needed to send supplies to the grassland later.

At this time, the arrival of King Pingxi may be a coincidence, but if he can come at this moment, he will undoubtedly be able to directly suppress Shunyang Pass. No matter who is careful, they don't dare to talk in front of this person.

Just after the hour of the child, on the side of Shunyang Pass facing the grassland, the huge city gate quietly opened. General Cao led thousands of soldiers out of the city gate quietly, then jumped off his horse and knelt down in front of the city tower to salute. The rest of the soldiers also knelt on the ground.

King Pingxi stood on the high tower and raised his hand slightly in the inconspicuous moonlight.

General Cao got up and got on his horse, and thousands of people quickly disappeared into the night, barely making a sound from beginning to end.

King Pingxi stood at the head of the city for a while. The Cao family is a fierce general, and it really deserves its name. He squinted his eyes and thought about it, it was dark and he didn't see much clearly, Cao Xu and the others didn't seem to have much grain and grass with them. There is no baggage, and it is not possible to make a contribution on the grassland in three or five days.

He suddenly remembered Ruan Bai's private money account book, and scolded in a low voice: "One or two, they are all stinky boys." "The big one ran to the side without telling Lao Tzu, and the small one ran to the grassland without telling Lao Tzu. When Lao Tzu is dead, or does he look down on Lao Tzu? Chu Hao doesn't care, if he can beat him alone, it is estimated that he will not be able to find a few in the entire Great Zhou; How old is Ruan Bai, when will he be able to use a little doll in a war? It seems that I want to let Mrs. smoke a good board when I go back!
