Chapter 113: The Mansion (Part 2)
It was late for Fu Xiaoguan to leave the palace.
The strategy for disaster relief had basically been passed, but the strategy on how to fight was strongly opposed by Yan Shidao, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, and Fei Bang, the secretary of the military department.
The reason is actually very simple, the main body of war in this era is cold weapons, and the war mode of cold weapons determines the need for a large number of people and horses, as well as a large number of weapons and armor, as well as huge logistics support.
As for Fu Xiaoguan's statement that this cold weapon should be eliminated, and the country should focus on the research of firearms, even His Majesty does not agree with this.
Nowadays, there are firearms, but this game is really chicken, the range is short, the accuracy is low, the cost is high, and it is particularly delicate!
The environment of war is ever-changing, and this thing is not useful in rainy days or even in wet seasons...... You say that if the two armies are facing each other, and all your firearms are dumb, won't you let the enemy ravage them?
In short, Fu Xiaoguan still elaborated on the future combat mode, such as the establishment of a special mountain combat regiment, the establishment of a professional scout unit, the establishment of a heavy armored cavalry regiment, and so on.
It can't be said that the things he said are useless, at least Yan Shidao and Fei Bang will think deeply every time, and then deny them for various reasons.
Fu Xiaoguan did not feel sorry, the impact of this incident was far greater than the disaster relief strategy, and even His Majesty did not have the confidence to change firmly.
It doesn't matter, anyway, the purpose of this trip to Beijing has almost been completely realized so far, and it depends on His Majesty's arrangements for him thereafter.
When Fu Xiaoguan returned to the inn, Yu Wenyun was already waiting for him here.
"How?" Yu Wenyun asked expectantly.
"Of course there is no problem." Fu Xiaoguan was relaxed at the moment, and Su Mo Chunxiu was relieved.
"Haven't eaten yet?"
"Your father is also stingy, I helped him solve such a big problem, and he didn't say that he would leave me for dinner."
Yu Wenyun threw him a roll of his eyes, "You think it's beautiful, we haven't eaten it yet, or ...... Go to the red sleeve trick? ”
Fu Xiaoguan was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the red sleeve move of the nature of the Qinglou?" ”
"The red-sleeved recruitment is not, Huqin Hu and everyone are not allowed to pick up her daughter's daughter, they are all Qing people, just listen to the song and drink, this is the only one in Qinhuai in Shili, you can remember."
Fu Xiaoguan remembered that when he was leaving, his father said that when he went to Beijing, if he had time, he would go to see the Hu family with red sleeves, he didn't forget, but he either didn't have time before, or he was accompanying Shulan, but at the moment he was free, so let's go and see.
The group was about to go out, but they bumped into Dong Xiude and Dong Shulan, the brother and sister, Fu Xiaoguan was of course even more happy, Yu Wenyun stepped forward to ask only to know that Dong Shangshu had returned home, and for some reason Dong Shulan was released.
So Dong Shulan asked, "Did His Highness say hello to my father?" ”
Yu Wenyun shook his head blankly, "No, how can I have such great ability?" ”
Dong Shulan thought for a while and said, "That should be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
In any case, Dong Shulan regained her freedom, which is something worth celebrating, so Yu Wenyun said that she would go to the red sleeves together, but she didn't expect Dong Shulan to veto this proposal.
"Let's go to Xuanwu Lake, I bought that house for a long time, he doesn't know the place yet, I finally came out, take you to see it, what if I am locked up again?"
Yu Wenyun thought about it, this matter was more important than going to the red sleeves, so the group changed their minds and went to Xuanwu Lake.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan didn't care, but Dong Xiude was very annoyed.
"I heard that there is a newcomer named Liu Yan'er in the red sleeve move, which is even more beautiful than that Xue Feifei, especially the sword dance, which can be called a must in Beijing, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Xiude were in the same carriage, and the goods chattered about this matter, Fu Xiaoguan was a little curious, "Have you seen Liu Yan'er?" ”
"I was going to go tonight, but my sister insisted that I bring her to you, I thought you would also go to the red sleeves, but now I want to see what kind of house you have, I said that this house it won't run, can't you let Ming'er go to see it?"
Fu Xiaoguan was happy and said, "Isn't Liu Yan'er also unable to run?" What does it matter if you go back tomorrow or later? ”
Dong Xiude thumped his chest, "How do you know, it's been three days since this Liu Yan'er came to the Red Sleeves, and this kind of thing must be done as soon as possible, this is called sending charcoal in the snow." When she becomes famous in Beijing, you can go again, at most it is just icing on the cake. Do you say that in Liu Yan'er's heart, is it important to send charcoal in the snow or icing on the cake? ”
Fu Xiaoguan was once again impressed by this second uncle, he can always grasp the key points in grasping problems, and his brain is really good.
The two chatted about this famous Oiran in Shangjing, and Dong Xiude's eyebrows fluttered endlessly.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't have much interest in this, he just listened to it casually to pass the time, and he didn't even leave much impression on those names.
In this way, the group came to the door of a mansion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.
Dong Shulan took the key and opened the heavy door.
Chunxiu and Su Mo went to buy a few lanterns, each carrying one, and walked into the mansion.
Except for Dong Shulan to see this place in detail, the rest of the people are coming for the first time, even Yu Wenyun is amazed at the grandeur of this former prince's mansion, but no one has lived in it for too long, under the reflection of the lights, the courtyards are overgrown with weeds, and the paint of the pavilions of each building has been mottled, in short, this courtyard is excellent, dozens of times larger than the Fu Mansion of Linjiang!
But then there is to take care of this big mansion, and I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money.
Fu Xiaoguan is extremely satisfied with this place, the house faces the street, behind the Xuanwu Lake, the back garden even extends to the lake, if there is a fishing rod, you can fish with it.
"What do you think?" Dong Shulan asked.
"Very good!" Fu Xiaoguan replied affirmatively.
Dong Shulan laughed, 30,000 taels of silver, if Fu Xiaoguan didn't like it, although she wouldn't lose money if this place was to be sold again, her intentions would be in vain.
"What's next for you?"
"I will stay in Shangjing for a while, but I still have to go back to Xishan for a while, there are still many things waiting for me to go back and solve, this does not matter, clean up this place first, it is much better than staying in that inn."
Yu Wenyun thought for a while and said: "I'll ask my mother tomorrow about this matter, this is the palace of the prince of the previous dynasty, it is not so easy to repair these buildings, look at finding some craftsmen from the palace carpentry department to repair them, don't be ruined by those craftsmen outside." ”
Dong Shulan agreed, the layout of this house is magnificent and refined, which requires professional craftsmen to have a way to restore, but it will take a long time.
Fu Xiaoguan spread his hands, "You two are in charge of this matter, and I will be responsible for giving the money." ”
"I have saved another 25,000 taels of the book in the dream of the Red Mansion, and I will ask you when it is not enough."
Dong Xiude was dumbfounded, he knew that his sister was rich, but he didn't expect his sister to be so rich!
Dong Shulan then muttered: "It seems that the price of this book has to go up, and in such a big place, the expenses in the future are not small." ”
