Chapter 253: Two Secret Letters

Yu Wenyun was naturally happy, and said with a smile: "There is a Xishan Courtyard in Linjiang, there is a Nanshan Courtyard outside Jinling, and we are two places in the northeast, so there are four Courtyards...... Isn't it nice to go and live there for a while when you're comfortable? ”

Dong Shulan glanced at Yu and asked, "How much silver do you have to earn to cover your expenses?" Fu Fu spent more than 100,000 taels of silver to get it right. Although I have never been to the Nanshan Annex, but in recent years, His Majesty has not gone to Nanshan to hunt, my father once said that His Majesty went out to hunt for nearly a million taels of silver, and most of them were to repair the Nanshan Courtyard. ”

Dong Shulan leaned out, tilted her head and asked, "Tell me that if we go to live in the future, 500,000 taels of silver will have to be thrown in." ”

Yu Wenyun gasped, but smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Dong Shulan's hand, "Isn't there you, you are the future housekeeper and the God of Wealth!" ”

Dong Shulan's eyebrows flew, quite proud, "I sent an account office from the house over there in Xishan to assist my uncle in taking care of Xishan's accounts, the accounts over there are too messy, and he is the ......."

Dong Shulan glared at Fu Xiaoguan, and said, "The expenditure over there is quite large, but the income in the back should be good, especially the workshop in Yao County." As for Fenglin Mountain...... It's a silver burning pit, and it hasn't paid off. ”

Fenglin Mountain Broken Soul Cliff, where iron ore mining has long been on the right track, and the blast furnace has also been determined to be many times better than the previous iron-making furnace after trial production. The red-clad cannon was forged from iron from Broken Soul Cliff, so it wouldn't blow up.

But if the iron thing is sold directly, it is not cost-effective.

The state has iron ore, and the state-affiliated foundry bureau will not purchase iron ore outside at all, not to mention that Fu Xiaoguan has never thought of selling the iron he has smelted.

The iron was of high quality, and he needed to turn it into weapons and armor, first, to equip his private army, and secondly, to sell it to the Yu Dynasty.

It's not that time yet, and this matter is estimated to have to wait until the end of the year, so that Dong Shulan can talk to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Those weapons and armor must be several times better than the current one, and Fu Xiaoguan is not worried that the eldest princess will not buy it, so Feng Linshan's profit output will not be able to see benefits until at least next year.

"The red-clothed cannon you made in Xishan, my father and mother have been to the Comet Prince's Mansion to see it. I'm talking about visiting, hehe, the queen mother came back and said that the prince knelt in front of his father and the emperor and counted you down for a while. The queen mother said that the power of this cannon is very great, and there are several one-person deep pits in the backyard and front hall of the comet's palace, and many buildings have been poured. ”

"That thing was sent to the Ministry of Industry...... Yu Wenyun was a little worried, stared at Fu Xiaoguan and asked, "If the Ministry of Industry gets this thing, won't you be able to sell it to your father?" You shouldn't have sent this thing to the palace, it's all silver! ”

Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "It's okay, I just want to show Your Majesty." Only when he saw it with his own eyes would he understand that the cannon was a sharp weapon, not a waste. Don't worry, the Ministry of Industry can't make it, and if Your Majesty wants it, you can only buy it from me. ”

Dong Shulan also felt that Fu Xiaoguan owed consideration, and lost a roll of his eyes: "Buy?" If Your Majesty is to requisition, what can you do? ”

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, won't it......!

Just when Fu Xiaoguan thought that he wouldn't, Father-in-law Jia rode a fast horse to catch up.

The convoy stopped, Fu Xiaoguan got out of the car, and Gonggong Jia handed him a secret letter, "Fu Gongzi, in order to catch up with you, the ass of the miscellaneous family has blossomed!" Look at it, Your Majesty is in a hurry. ”

Fu Xiaoguan thought to himself, you are a martial saint, you are really good-looking!

When he opened the secret letter and saw it, the whole person was immediately not good!

"I like the red-clad cannon very much, and I think it will be of great use on the battlefield. Therefore, I remember your great achievement, and quickly send a hundred red-clothed cannons into Shangjing, and I will use them to smash the army of the Yi Dynasty to smithereens! ”

it!

What do you want?

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned for a long time, and Father-in-law Jia leaned over and asked, "How?" ”

"There is no way, please tell Your Majesty father-in-law, a cannon is five thousand taels of silver, and a cannonball is one hundred taels of silver, and I can only guarantee to give him ten in a month."

Father-in-law Jia grinned, took out another secret letter and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan, "Your Majesty is like a god!" ”

Fu Xiaoguan took the secret letter and looked at it:

"There is no silver for the time being, but the war in the east is urgent, and at this juncture, I hope you can take care of the overall situation and don't stare at the small profits in front of you!"

"Because of the Empress Dowager's death, the matter of your marriage with Shulan and Wenyun has not been realized, I think about it, and I am quite reluctant not to go, but due to the etiquette rules, I can't change it. Therefore, I gave you and them three copies of the marriage letter - the other is the strong request of the old thing in Yan Beixi, and I agreed to it for the sake of Yan Beixi working hard for the society and forcing him to die. ”

"These three marriage letters are written by me and backed up by the celebrant of ceremonies, which is to completely settle the matter between you and the third daughter. All I want is for you to have peace of mind. From now on, you are my son-in-law, for my world, you are no longer a bystander, and you have all the work of the society in my heart. ”

"In addition, I have read the book "The Wealth of Nations" carefully, but I have many doubts, and I will explain and listen to it in detail when you return from the Wu Dynasty. According to the advice in your book, I and Yanbeixi agreed to pilot first. At present, the counties selected for the pilot are Linjiang Yao County, Henan Fugong County, Qizhou Kaiyang County, Yongning Quyi Pingling County, and Ningzhou Heyu County. ”

"But after discussing with many ministers, I believe that the implementation of this matter must still fall on your shoulders, without it, even Yan Beixi is helpless. I have drafted the policy of combining commerce and agriculture in the government affairs hall, and I think that when you return to Beijing, this matter has been publicized throughout the country. If you then carry out the reform as a manager, you will have no worries. ”

"You need to always remember that you are my son-in-law, if you don't do something big, it will be me and the queen, and Yan Beixi is blind, you can do it and think about it!"

Father-in-law Jia smiled and took out three red wedding books from his sleeve pocket.

"Congratulations to Master Fu!"

Fu Xiaoguan took the marriage letter, glared at Father-in-law Jia, took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels and stuffed it into Father-in-law Jia's hand, and still said solemnly: "Your Majesty's request is beyond reality, and now the technology of red-clothed cannons is not mature, and the monthly production is up to ten, please tell Your Majesty about this." In addition, I have one more thing that I need to convey to Your Majesty. ”

"Master Fu, please speak."

"Xishan lacks materials to make ammunition, so I'll write a letter to my father-in-law and bring it to Your Majesty, otherwise even if there are cannons, it's useless."

"In addition, please tell Your Majesty that the confiscated property under the name of Shi Valve is transferred to the name of the Ninth Princess!"
