Chapter 240: The Sorrowful General (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Huh?!" Leng Feng was taken aback by Liu Shuhan!
What the heck! What's going on!
Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Shuhan walked away with a red face, and said as she walked: "Lie to you, brother-in-law." β
"Oh~"
Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go to the Academy of Literature to have a look, after all, he is also a teacher of the Academy of Literature, and he can't hand over the burden to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian and them are still children after all, and it is just a matter of teaching addition and subtraction, if they teach in depth, Li Chengqian and them will not be able to.
It's still no one!
Leng Feng looked at Qin Ling's side, how much he wished that the space-time rift would send a few more math teachers over!
One pass two, two pass four......... It's easy to say, but that "one" is the most bitter one, and I can only look at the small numbers and be anxious.
Liu Shuhan looked at Leng Feng in the distance at the door of the room, and couldn't help blushing again.
She still remembers the agreement with her sister when she was a child, and her brother-in-law is not bad! At least in her opinion, young, rich, powerful, and a worldly master who the emperor must respect, if her brother-in-law doesn't dislike her, she really has this meaning.
But she is destined to be disappointed, Leng Feng really doesn't plan to take a concubine, especially a dancer like Liu Hongji, who holds a party at home and dances on the field, and there are two of his concubines in it.
Leng Feng originally went to the Academy of Literature to plan to attend classes, but before he could reach the Academy of Literature, he was kidnapped by Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong and taken to Liu Hongji's house to participate in the "celebration banquet" they held for Leng Feng.
The scale of this celebration banquet is not small, except for the generals on the border, even Qin Shubao, who is recuperating at home, is not absent.
Qin Shubao suffered too many injuries on the battlefield in his early years, and his health has not been good, if it wasn't for Sun Simiao treating him for a period of time, he should be bedridden at this time, instead of having the opportunity to attend the banquet.
The celebration banquet is claimed to be a celebration of Leng Feng's military exploits in Lingnan, but judging from the gifts carried by those entourages outside the door, there must be other reasons.
But these old rascals are like civil officials, and Gu Zuo said that he just didn't mention the real reason.
Especially Wei Chigong, he also scolded Liu Hongji for slamming the door, actually using his family's wine, not going downstairs to buy wine, and the price dropped.
So when the wine downstairs was served that day, Leng Feng, who refused to go to class and didn't drink, could only accompany them to drink, order, order.
After all, everyone takes care of your family's business so much, and you can't say anything about it!
During the drinking, Lao Li, who was following Leng Feng, had been recording the gift list, and he couldn't wait to have a few more hands.
When the gift list was recorded, the generals put down their cups in unison.
Leng Feng looked at Li Xiaogong, who went to Lao Li to get the gift list, and couldn't help but burp, as he expected, the next thing was the main event.
Sure enough, Li Xiaogong told the truth after handing over the gift list to Leng Feng: "Gong Xi Guo, in the final analysis, you are also in the same vein as our military, and the Thunder Division is now very strictly arrested by His Majesty, and when we mention it in the court, Your Majesty is secretive." β
Li Jing continued Li Xiaogong's words: "The old man is fortunate to be the first commander to use gunpowder weapons, and he knows the importance of gunpowder weapons in siege battles. We are giving you this celebration banquet today, in fact, we also want to ask you. β
Speaking of this, Li Jing paused for a moment before continuing: "If someone present encounters a siege battle, can you say that the emperor will dispatch a ground-level thunderbolt?" β
As soon as Li Jing's voice fell, the generals present all looked at Leng Feng eagerly, as long as he was a general, it was impossible not to care about the casualties of his subordinates and his military exploits.
Since the advent of gunpowder weapons, they have attracted their attention, and for the sake of Leng Feng, they even did not hesitate to openly dismantle Sun Wuji's platform in the court, in order to use this weapon one day.
After Li Jing and Li Xiaogong returned, they did not hide the data of the ground-level thunder, and the power of "one thunder to break the city and three thunders to destroy the valley" made them more and more eager to try the feeling of fighting with gunpowder weapons.
Leng Feng looked at the stinging eyes around him and nodded slowly but firmly.
If you are a person, you must have a position, and since you have entered the court, you must find your own position - Wen, or Wu!
The civilian officials are a faction, the military attachΓ© is a faction, Li Xiaogonggui is the king of Hejian County, the imperial prince, and he is also one of the big leaders of the military, that is, the "wall grass" Li Jing, will not waver when encountering problems related to the military.
Since Leng Feng has decided to mix with the military, he must support the military, which is a person's basic ethics.
Seeing Leng Feng nodding, Li Jingcai smiled and raised his wine glass: "Gong Xi Guogong is really refreshing, come, I, Li Jing, toast you!" β
Leng Feng pressed Li Jing's hand: "Don't be in a hurry to drink the wine first, I still have something to discuss with you, I plan to do one thing, I need you to buy shares, it depends on whether you are willing to break the bank." β
Cheng Yanjin was the first to laugh: "Broken wealth? What do you want to do, the world's number one God of Wealth, you will only make money, how can you break the wealth? β
Wei Chigong also nodded, someone told him that the emperor would believe it if he broke the fortune, Leng Feng? Are you kidding?
Liu Hongji was the host of this banquet, and he also picked up a glass of wine and said: "Gong Xi Guo might as well make it clear what he wants us to do as a shareholder, the old man still has some pension money at home, so he will squander it in a share!" β
Leng Feng pointed to the door and said: "If my expectations are right, there will be a big locust plague around Kyoto this year, and it just so happens that Tianxialou has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years, and I plan to buy some grain from the south of the Yangtze River in Shuzhong, and then scatter the grain." β
"Bulk grain? This is indeed a loss-making deal, not to mention buying from Shuzhong and Jiangnan, and the shipping fee alone is a lot of money! β
Liu Hongji was the first to explain what kind of "compensation" method was in this matter, grain has never been shipped thousands of miles away to buy, not to mention that Leng Feng intends to "bulk grain", not "sell grain".
"That's not how the accounts are calculated!" Li Xiaogong knocked on the table: "Think about what we do when there is a big drought and flood every year, if the locust plague is true, even if we lose our money and lose all our wealth, we will make a steady profit!" β
Li Xiaogong's words immediately reminded everyone, except for Leng Feng.
Leng Feng couldn't help but poke Qin Qiong, who was pretending to be asleep beside him: "Hu Guogong, what did you do when there was a big drought and flood in previous years?" β
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly: "What else can you do, put on armor, organize the army, prevent the people from rioting, suppress the riotous people, and then wait for the ministers of the imperial court to deal with it." β
Li Ji on the side also smiled bitterly: "The good reputation belongs to the civil officials who provide disaster relief, and the bad reputation belongs to the military generals who prevent riots." β
Leng Feng didn't expect such a situation, it seems that the decision he thought of to take the initiative to share the "benefits" equally happened to scratch the hearts of these generals.
