Chapter 1595: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
"The subordinates are thinking that they will no longer sell their new houses, and in just two years, they can earn six hundred taels, and then they will settle down in Tongzhou on the other side, where the land is worthless...... Tsk, they all say that the salary of the Northern Expeditionary Army is high, but you can count it with your fingers, and you have to be a soldier for more than ten years to earn so much silver, my father and mother said, when I retire, I will marry a daughter-in-law, we don't have to do things, and we can live two lives....... ”
Wu Zheng was furious when he heard this, and he raised his foot from his horse and kicked Lu Jincai, "If you don't have any interest, you just take care of the mouth under your nose...... Haven't you been able to have some ambition anymore? ”
Poor Lu Jincai was trying to lead his daughter-in-law to be beautiful, and he was kicked off guard, if it wasn't for something, he almost fell off the horse.
He said aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, we can't always fight, right...... Besides, after ten years, you can't run, so you don't want us...... You are angry, we can't hold you back, can we? ”
Wu Zheng stared at Lu Jincai with his mouth open, daring to be affectionate, is this kid reasonable?
But Wu Zheng thought about another thing in his heart, that is, because of his own policies, some ordinary people in Jiangnan became rich overnight, is this a blessing or a curse?
……。
As he spoke, the Weaving Division was in front of him.
The sharp-eyed porter, knowing Wu Zheng, was already waiting outside, and took the reins from Wu Zheng's hand diligently.
"Lord Wang, is the county lord in the office...... The small ones show you the way. ”
"No need, this king will go in by himself." Wu Zheng refused, "You just go and greet a few of them." ”
Wu Zhenggu entered the mansion by himself.
Go through the wall, the front hall, and the corridor to the middle hall, and then be led to the back hall by the maids.
Because Wu Xiaomei no longer lives in the courtyard of Daddy Wu of the college, she made the back hall a sleeping room, so the back hall has become a forbidden place.
Of course, this forbidden land doesn't work for Wu Zheng, his own brother.
The back hall was brightly lit, and the maids came and went, entering and exiting quietly.
Seeing that King Wu was coming, he just saluted, and then retreated.
Wu Zheng looked inside the door, and saw that Wu Xiaomei was facing away from the door, busy on the case, and more than a dozen maids were waiting on the side, but whenever Wu Xiaomei threw out a piece of paper, there were maids to follow, and then rolled it up, held it in both hands, and came out to hand it to the maid outside the door.
Wu Zheng coughed dryly and strode in.
The maids in the hall saluted one after another, perhaps alarming Wu Xiaomei.
She looked up and looked back, and when she saw that it was Wu Zheng, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Is my brother here?" Wu Xiaomei lowered her head again, "Brother, find a stool to sit on, I'll be fine soon." ”
Wu Zheng stepped forward suspiciously and looked over.
It turned out that Wu Xiaomei was drawing drawings, and there were a lot of clothing drawings scattered on the case, and Wu Zheng took a few and looked at them.
This look has to make Wu Zheng admire, in just two years, Wu Xiaomei has searched for the essence of designing clothing by herself, perhaps, Wu Xiaomei, who has not been to a private school, has an incomparable talent in this regard, just like her business talent, it is definitely not much inferior to Mo Yiqing, it is simply self-taught.
Maybe it was because of Wu Zheng's arrival, Wu Xiaomei quickly ended the busyness in her hands.
After washing her hands in the golden basin brought by the maids, Wu Xiaomei stepped forward and pulled Wu Zheng to sit down.
"Why did my brother come at night?" Wu Xiaomei was indeed a little pleased, "That's right, my brother is busy with military affairs during the day...... I heard that there was another war, and this time my brother must not be in danger like last time. ”
Wu Zheng smiled slightly, he was distinguishing how much of Wu Xiaomei's joy was sincere family affection, and how much was the joy of the successful conspiracy.
Zhang Guowei and Mo Zhinian would never dare to play this kind of conspiracy on themselves, let alone come up with such a bad idea for Wu Xiaomei.
You must know that once the courtiers are involved in Wu Zheng's family affairs, then they will be punished more severely than if they make mistakes in official duties.
This is the way of being a minister, and it is also a taboo for those in power.
Therefore, when Wu Zheng heard Zhang Huangyan say that it was Daddy Wu's idea, he was relieved.
That's right, the emperor's father is the emperor, and he is also a king.
Naturally, the lord's father, that is, the old lord, the lord's son is the young lord, as a courtier, there is really not much choice, as long as it doesn't hurt the elegance, it will be with the mud.
Wu Zheng can figure this out.
But what Wu Zheng couldn't figure out was that according to Father Wu's Buddha nature, it was impossible for Wu Xiaomei to come up with such an idea, let alone trade family affection as a transaction.
But Wu Zheng couldn't understand how Wu Xiaomei, who had always acted recklessly, became such a deep city in just two or three years?
Could it be that people, as long as they stick to power, they no longer have family affection?
Could it be that even women are no exception?
Seeing Wu Zheng smiling and not speaking, Wu Xiaomei faked anger and said, "Brother hasn't come to see me for a few days...... But this time, you don't even say a word? ”
Wu Zheng said embarrassedly: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to speak, but I don't know how to speak to my sister?" ”
Wu Xiaomei's face froze, and then she laughed freely, "Brother thinks too much, we are a family, even if we can't...... That's also a family, is it possible that my brother doesn't even recognize my sister because of this eight-character thing? ”
Wu Zheng's heart moved when he heard this, this is the heart that Wu Xiaomei should have, so he was relieved and the conversation opened.
"Listen to Mo Lao, your weaving department's annual harvest is about to catch up with the financial department...... Brother can't come to see more? Wu Zheng said casually, "Let's see if we can fight the autumn breeze, you know, it's going to be a war, and my brother is also shy." ”
Wu Xiaomei covered her mouth and giggled, "Brother is really, are you embarrassed to speak about this?" I have already prepared for my brother, 1.5 million taels, and tomorrow I will remit it directly from the bank to the Financial Secretary...... Brother, don't be too little, the weaving department is now just this cash, or embezzlement of the money paid in advance by merchants from all over the ....... ”
Wu Zheng was really surprised, he ordered the mobilization, and it was only three days before and after.
Even if Wu Xiaomei heard about it that day and started to raise silver, it would only be three days, 1.5 million taels, which is really big.
The financial secretary, who is not obsessed, may not be able to allocate cash at this speed.
"Is the weaving department so profitable...... It's just a day in the money? ”
Wu Xiaomei glanced at Wu Zheng, "It's not my brother's idea yet...... What's the matter, my brother is red when he sees the money, and he wants to take back the dowry you promised me? ”
Wu Zheng hurriedly denied it, "I just said it casually, what's yours is still yours, even my brother borrowed it today, and I will return ......it to you with interest in the future." ”
Wu Xiaomei didn't take this stubble, but changed the topic and said: "The first few Han robes that my brother painted were the most popular, and they were in short supply for almost two years. ”
Wu Zheng couldn't help but nodded, it should be like this, hundreds of years of improvement, if it doesn't sell well, it's a strange thing.
