Chapter 238: A Secret Report

Everything happens by accident, and Zhao Yuan, who comes from later generations and is familiar with history, feels this very deeply.

The demise of Hou Shu is already an inevitable thing, although the predecessor was born here, Zhao Yuan's sense of belonging to this court is not strong. Houshu, which has been peaceful for too long, has lax armaments, unscrupulous generals, and no strong soldiers, and the Northern Song Dynasty Legion that has been prepared and armed to the teeth in the north is completely incomparable.

Knowing that the result was already doomed, Zhao Yuan didn't want to tie himself to this doomed chariot, and he had no interest in saving that group of drunken gentry.

Cement workshops put into operation, especially after a large number of production, the convenience and firmness of cement for construction, after a large number of wealthy officials and merchants adopted, although some people are also aware of the major application of this new thing to the city defense, but the time has passed more than three years, and the major cities of Houshu, the use of cement to strengthen the city wall, but there is no one.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace can last for a long time, which is important to individuals, and even more important to a country.

The party at Zhao Yuan's house ended with the carefree play of the children and the slightly heavy mood of the adults, but things were far from ending with the end of the party.

Zhao Yuan said this, in addition to asking a few people not to go out and spread randomly, how a few people were going to do it, he didn't want to worry about it.

"Lang Jun, I see that Second Brother Wan and they all look preoccupied, are there any difficulties in business?" After knowing that she was pregnant, she didn't know if it was because of the sensitive nerves of a pregnant woman, Meng Ying insisted on changing the title of Zhao Yuan from Brother Yuan to Lang Jun, and asked Zhao Yuan to call her a lady.

The world is big, the expectant mother is the biggest, and Zhao Yuan can only follow.

"There is no problem in business, lady, you don't have to worry, they are in a heavy mood because of some things on their family's side." Zhao Yuan gently supported Meng Ying, like hugging a pot of treasures.

"It's okay, I'm like letting our baby go smoothly now. Listening to Lang Jun, I don't think much about anything. Meng Ying smiled and nodded, and gently stroked Luoluo, which had grown to her shoulders, with her hand.

"Auntie, you have to keep a good mood as the uncle said, so that the younger brother in the belly will be happier, and when he is born, he will be good-looking." Luoluo carefully stroked Meng Ying's slightly lower abdomen with her hand and said softly.

The times determine consciousness, in this feudal era, the idea of patriarchy is deep-rooted, even if it is because of Zhao Yuan, a little butterfly, it has brought all kinds of changes to this remote gray plain city, but it is still an extremely difficult thing to change this kind of thinking that has been deeply rooted in the blood.

Meng Ying is a very gentle and virtuous woman, as Zhao Yuan's closest person in this era, it can be said that she is the first person to come into contact with all kinds of ideas and knowledge brought by Zhao Yuan, but she has an unusual attachment to the gender of the child, and firmly thinks that her first child must be a boy.

For example, Luoluo's name for the child in her belly, Meng Ying firmly asked her to say her brother, Zhao Yuan made a joke about it, Meng Ying, who was pregnant, had red eyes, scared Zhao Yuan half to death, and she would never dare to joke about it in the future, even if Zhao Yuan wanted to have a daughter first.

"I'm in a good mood, Luoluo, you said you want to prepare a room full of toys for your brother, how is it going now?" Meng Ying asked with a smile.

"Okay, with Uncle Guo Du and Grandpa Wen helping, and Uncle Painting a lot of toys, when my brother is born, there will be a lot of novel toys to play with. Stinky uncle, hum, it turns out that you have so many fun toys, and you didn't make them for me to play with before! After Luoluo finished speaking with great interest, he gave Zhao Yuan a roll of his eyes.

"It's Uncle Wrong, don't all the toys you make now make double copies, and you won't have the same set when the time comes." Zhao Yuan scraped the bridge of the little girl's nose and said with a laugh.

Looking at the little girl who has grown up year by year, Zhao Yuan can't help but have a feeling that my family has a girl who has just grown up.

"I'm so old, why don't I still need to play with those toys, I didn't stop Uncle Guo Du and Grandpa Wen from building two sets, but I'm afraid that my younger brother will play with the toys in the future, and there will be no replacement to play." Luoluo couldn't resist her eagerness for the new toy, and her face pretended to be disdainful.

"Yes, our Luoluo is a big girl, let's go, accompany my aunt to the embroidery room." Meng Yingjiao smiled, beckoned the maid on the side, and slowly walked towards the embroidery room with Luoluo.

"Lady, you just watch and tell them, don't sew it yourself, if your eyesight is damaged during pregnancy, it's a lifetime thing." Zhao Yuan looked at Meng Ying, who was not idle, and hurriedly admonished.

"Got it, Lang Jun doesn't have to say it every time." Meng Ying waved her hand, leaving a burst of fragrant wind.

"Come on, I've got to do things too!" Zhao Yuan shook his head and walked towards his study.

After the expansion, the area of the house has expanded more than ten times. In addition to the vegetable garden and fish pond that have been preserved, a stable that can accommodate dozens of horses or donkeys, and a small animal breeding garden that Luoluo strongly wants to keep, all the breeding farms and Dilong farms have been moved.

The planning of the building takes into account aesthetics, safety and comfort, and it is very harmonious and natural. The functional configuration of each room is more complete, Zhao Yuan and Luoluo have their own separate study, and Meng Ying has a separate embroidery room and kitchenette.

The population of the family has hired more than a dozen subordinates, plus the original housekeepers Jia Yu's family and Yao Yuan's family, as well as the family guards led by Shao Meng, although the area of the house has expanded dramatically, it does not look deserted. Now Zhao Yuan's life is like the landlord Lao Cai in the later generation influence drama, he can stretch out his hands with clothes and open his mouth with food.

Of course, Zhao Yuan did not live such a life, and the increased manpower was mainly to take care of this huge Zhao mansion.

"There are so many documents to deal with today, I'm just a toil!" Coming to the spacious and bright study, Zhao Yuan looked at the thick documents piled up on the table, and said to himself with a wry smile.

With the increase of industries, even if each workshop, caravan, and store has selected a suitable person in charge to be responsible for management, but every seven days of the summary report day is thunderous, and many things need to be handled by Zhao Yuan himself, which is related to Zhao Yuan's understanding and control of the increasingly large system below.

"Master, Cheng (Chen) Metropolitan Mansion Secret Report." Zhao Yuan was working on documents in the study when Shao Meng knocked on the door and came in and handed Zhao Yuan a letter.

"Is it going to be troublesome again!" Zhao Yuan tapped his forehead, although he had a headache, he had already prepared for some things that would happen at this critical moment when the sky became critical.
