"But my brother also said before that the style of this dress needs to be changed, otherwise it will be greasy to the eyes, so I have been constantly changing the style of the clothes since this year...... My brother looks at these paintings I painted, can you still see them? ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "It's very good, it makes me feel like my eyes are bright." ”

Wu Xiaomei became happy, "By the way, there are many Jiangbei businessmen who want to buy the student robes of the academy, and they can even pay double the price...... But I thought that maybe my brother wouldn't allow it, so I didn't agree to them. ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Why don't you do a business that makes money with money?" My brother even sold his musket to Jiangbei...... With silver, more and better muskets can be made, and besides, don't craftsmen also practice make perfect? Not only can I earn money, but I can also accompany the craftsman, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Then I'm really going to say yes to them?" Wu Xiaomei was happy.

"Of course...... But you can't even sell the house badge. Wu Zheng said seriously.

Wu Xiaomei chuckled and said, "People won't buy the badge of Jiangnan Academy." ”

Speaking of which, the brother and sister fell silent together, you look at me, I look at you.

For a long time, Wu Zheng couldn't stand this crampedness, and got up to say goodbye.

Wu Xiaomei got up and suddenly said, "Will my brother marry Li Haiyue?" ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, but he still shook his head and said, "It's not suitable...... Although the advantages of marrying her outweigh the disadvantages, marriage cannot cure all diseases after all, you know, my brother has already married three for this, and I really don't want to marry a fourth for this. ”

"But Li Haiyue wants to comb himself."

"She loves to comb or not." Wu Zhengwei said annoyedly, "Dad also forced me, why, you also forced me?" ”

Wu Xiaomei's face froze, and she suddenly said, "I have a way to share my brother's worries." ”

"What's the method?"

"The imperial court and the general's mansion have already allowed each province to set up women's offices, right, brother?"

"There's this."

"The Women's Department is in Taiping Mansion?"

"Yes."

"Ling is the Xia family sister?"

"Yes."

"Then let Li Haiyue be a deputy or an agent, do you have to go to Taiping Mansion?"

Wu Zheng was stunned, "She...... She is only fourteen years old, and she is illiterate, how can she serve the public? ”

"No, she's literate now." Wu Xiaomei smiled, "It shouldn't be much worse than me." ”

Wu Zheng was surprised, Wu Xiaomei had not studied in a private school, but Father Wu was a scholar, and his attainments were not low.

Therefore, Wu Xiaomei is literate, and there are a lot, although she can't write any good poems, it is not a problem to write a few slippery poems.

In just one year, Li Haiyue has become illiterate?

Looking at Wu Zheng's stunned expression, Wu Xiaomei chuckled, "When you were fighting in Huai'an, Li Haiyue was personally taught by your father...... Speaking of which, she is your sister and my junior sister. ”

Wu Zheng will come to his senses and dare to be affectionate, his father has already prepared for his own storage of Li Haiyue.

Wu Xiaomei said: "Li Haiyue is young, and going to experience two or three years of training just gives my brother time to consider the pros and cons, and the Taiping Mansion has Wei Guogong and Xia family sisters here, and they can also take care of Li Haiyue for their brother, so that she will not suffer." ”

Wu Zheng hesitated: "But she is ...... after all." ”

"She is the daughter of the King of Jin, and she is the lord of the Yongli Dynasty, and she is still condescending to be a deputy commander, how can she not be convinced?"

Wu Zheng was right to think about it, so he said, "I have to think about this again...... Besides, she may not want to go. ”

Wu Xiaomei said hurriedly: "She is willing...... Well, I mean she should be willing, anyway, it's going to be war again, and my brother won't agree to marry ......her anytime soon. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Wu Zheng's heart, but he didn't show it, "Since that's the case, then you can go to her to confirm, if she is willing, this matter will ...... That's it. ”

"Thank you, brother."

Wu Zheng's heart moved again, "Her business, why are you so concerned?" ”

Wu Xiaomei's face changed, and she forced a smile: "Maybe she is my future sister-in-law, I have to sell something first?" ”

Wu Zheng was also relieved to be scolded like this, so he nodded and said, "It's not too early, I should go back to ......." ”

Wu Xiaomei hurriedly said: "I have something I want to ask my brother." ”

"You say yes, why should the family ask for it?"

"As soon as the war starts, it will definitely affect the trade between the north and the south, and I want to ask my brother to give the merchants a way...... Tens of thousands of weaver girls in the weaving department produce tens of thousands of clothes every day, if this is hoarded, my sister and I have no rut, and besides, tens of thousands of weaver girls are nearly one million taels of wages per month, and the clothes can't be sold, where is the silver for them? ”

Wu Zheng frowned, he was originally going to move the Weaving Division, with the continuous expansion of the scale, the Weaving Division has had many drawbacks, this is not just Wu Xiaomei's management problem, but any organization to a certain scale, must be managed smoothly.

Wu Xiaomei is not good at management, and the implementation is still family-style management, so it is difficult to form effective control over the branches at all levels of the following prefectures, and it is inevitable that some black sheep will appear.

Of course, Wu Zheng's real intention to use the weaving division was not here, he saw that once the weaving division was taken advantage of by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But today Wu Zheng came with a request, can't my sister just borrowed a large amount of silver, and told her here that she was going to clean up the weaving division, right?

Wu Zheng thought about it and decided to postpone it until after the war, so he said: "Then don't take the canal, let them take the sea route...... However, it must be inspected by a sailor. ”

Wu Xiaomei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

Wu Zheng joked: "You won't accept bribes from northern businessmen, right?" ”

Wu Xiaomei stomped her feet and said, "Even if you accept it, won't it all be given to your brother?" ”

……。

The greatest advantage of the junta is that it replaces general knowledge with command, and exchanges freedom for efficiency.

With the silver in place, all the components began to work effectively.

In just one day and one night, Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin had already left the port to the north, Wu Songwei began to urgently assemble, and the steam locomotive from Hangzhou Mansion had already sprayed billowing white smoke and roared out of the station.

The 8,000 civilian servants who were temporarily conscripted were either dragging horses or pushing carts, and many of them even carried them simply.

And the students of the academy, who were the first to be agitated, had already gathered at the city gate in the middle of the night, shouting slogans loudly and over again to boost morale.

The loft ladies who had not stepped out of the gate and did not go out of the second door also flocked to the carriage, parked the carriage at the corner, and then opened the corner of the window one after another, showing the talent of the eye.

Chen Zilong, the editor-in-chief of Hanming Banyuetan, specially issued an additional issue called "Northern Expedition, the Holy Fire in the Hearts of Southerners".

To sum it up in the huge banner that hung on the lintel of the city gate at that time, it was "all for victory".
