Han Qian walked out of the courtyard where Yao Xishui lived with everyone, and walked to the wooden building in the depths of the Evening Red Mansion by the sandwich road, and guessed that the black gauze woman of Xinchang Hou Li Pu should be waiting for them there, and he didn't know what to discuss at the end of the year.

The passage was dark, although inside the Evening Red Mansion, Han Qian could also hear the red wine and green lights in front of him, and no one broke in, and he didn't know how Su Hongyu, Yao Xishui and others secretly controlled the Evening Red Mansion.

Han Qian thought wildly, and inadvertently turned around to see Su Hongyu and Li Zhihe walking side by side, the two whispered something, but seeing Su Hongyu's eyebrows and eyes in the dim light, it seemed that Li Zhihe was extremely intimate, or hidden feelings that were not revealed under the undercurrent.

Han Qian became more and more sure that Xinchang Hou Li Pu should have been a member of the Late Red Mansion in his early years, and he had accumulated military exploits under the support of the Late Red Mansion over the years and climbed to such a high position; Perhaps Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, can become a famous general who stands side by side with Xu Mingzhen and others, and also has the credit of the Late Red Mansion, but unfortunately Li Yu is not under the control of the Late Red Mansion.

The Marquis of Xinchang and the woman in the black gauze were indeed waiting in the wooden building, and they waited for Yang Yuanpu and Han Qian to come over, and then they really discussed the gains and losses in the past month.

Yang Yuanpu is freer than before, but after all, he is a prince who is not yet fourteen years old, and his actions cannot be as unrestrained as Han Qian.

Not to mention that Guo Rong and Song Xin stopped it, even Xinchang Hou Li Pu didn't dare to take the risk of letting Yang Yuanpu go to the cantonment military mansion full of infected and hungry people. In addition, many things have to be hidden from Guo Rong and Song Xin, and they can't be alarmed to Anning Palace, so most things are impossible for Yang Yuanpu to contact directly.

Even if some things have to be reported in detail, it is extremely difficult to find a time when Guo Rong, Song Xin or other people who cannot be absolutely trusted are not present.

Yang Yuanpu was also extremely diligent, and at this time, while listening to Xinchanghou Li Pu talk in detail about the preparations for the establishment of the Dragon Bird Army in the past month, he inserted a lot of questions, and asked him clearly the details that he didn't understand for a while.

In the past month, it can be said that it has been a great success, but the difficulties faced in the coming year are the same as Han Qian expected, even the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion will not be able to support such a consumption for a long time, and they still have to strive for Emperor Tianyou to tilt resources to their side as much as possible, and strive to make the Dragon Bird Army form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, the internal and external officials and hundreds of thousands of troops need to be fed, and the state is already stretched, even without the constraints of the Anning Palace and the prince's family, the extra money and food that can be squeezed into the Dragon Bird Army are quite limited.

"As for the matter of money and food, Han Zhi, what are your clever plans?" Xinchang Hou Li Pu asked.

Han Qian endured the heartache and took out the brocade bag containing ten Hepu beads from his arms, respectfully sent it to Yang Yuanpu, and said: "What the concubine gave it, Han Qian remembered it in his heart, and at this time, he was willing to give the concubine's generous reward to His Royal Highness to fund the military rations." ”

"Merit should be rewarded, this is a ...... given by the mother" Yang Yuanpu didn't expect Han Qian to sacrifice Hepu Zhu, and said with some surprise, and at the same time wanted to be generous, unwilling to take back the things that were rewarded.

"At this time, how can Han Qian enjoy the treasures alone? When he succeeds in the future, His Royal Highness will not forget Han Qian's merits, and when the time comes, he will reward Han Qian with more farmland. Han Qian held back his nausea and said loyally.

Ten Hepu beads can be worth his father Han Daoxun's official salary for two years, and it can't be regarded as small money in anyone's eyes.

The concubine asked Li Zhihe to hand over the ten Hepu beads to him as a reward, but he really wanted to quietly take the ten Hepu beads into his pocket, did the concubine really have no opinion at all?

Han Qian was deeply skeptical of this.

In the palace forbidden, and struggling under the shadow of the Anning Palace for many years, such a person is the easiest to be cautious, and it is difficult to be magnanimous, Han Qian endured the heartache and handed over the ten Hepu beads, then no one can say that he is stingy and greedy for money.

As for the strategy of money and food, if Lao Tzu really wants to think of a way to raise money, will it be easy to cheapen the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion?

Yang Yuanpu couldn't be outside for too long, he talked about things here, and was escorted back to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion by Li Zhihe and Chai Jian, Han Qian saw that Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Chen De were still gambling in the courtyard in front of him, and they were playing happily, he was not interested, so he took Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wuji, Fan Dahei, and Lin Haizheng, who had been waiting for a long time, and they went back first.

The courtyard was freshly painted with lime water, and the corners of the courtyard wall were sprinkled with lime powder to prepare for the New Year, and there was also a feeling of refreshment - of course, sprinkling lime powder outside the courtyard wall was also intentionally instructed by Han Qian to show the neighbors.

At this time, the night was dark, but his father Han Daoxun had not yet slept, with the help of a lone lamp, sitting in front of the window to read a book, Han Qian pushed the door and walked in to say hello, and saw the book in his father's hand, but it was some things that he racked his brains to train the children of the family soldiers during this time in the villa.

He was going to live in the city for a few days during the New Year's Festival, so he asked Qingyun and Zhao Ting'er to bring back the paper manuscript first, but he didn't expect his father to see it.

"What are you writing here, it's so messy that you can't see any clue?" Han Daoxun returned a stack of paper manuscripts to Han Qian and asked.

"My child was reading "The Art of War" in the mountain villa some time ago. "Use the Chapter", Liao Liao Qianyan, chew it and feel that the taste is boundless, but I feel that the "Use of the Chapter" is too brief, even if the world wants to do anything, but there is no way to start, so Fan Xicheng and them came in, asked about some military scouts, and copied it down, thinking that one day, I can write a note for "Use of the Chapter". Han Qian said cautiously.

"There are some cool official methods, which are not common in the army, and you still have to carefully screen hearsay, so as not to make him write books and speak every day and leave them to the world." Han Daoxun was very pleased to see that Han Qian had the ambition to write a book and speak up, and he also saw that some of the methods copied in the paper manuscript were too spicy and vicious, so he couldn't help but warn a few words.

Han Qian cultivated the children of the family soldiers, mainly thinking that he could cover his escape in the future.

Sometimes, even if he had to kill someone, Han Qian hoped that the children of the family soldiers would try their best not to startle the snake, or hide the corpse, or cover up the traces, so as to create the illusion of violent illness, fire, or drowning; In addition to inducement and bribery, it is inevitable to conduct interrogation, and if you unfortunately fall into the hands of the enemy, you must be able to resist inducement and torture, how can many of these methods be above board?

Of course, Han Qian had no way to explain why he wanted to train the children of the family soldiers in these aspects, so he could only find excuses to prevaricate in the past.

Han Qian flipped through the manuscript casually, but found that his father had written a large number of annotations with a red pen in the manuscript, pointing out a large number of fallacies and omissions.

At this time, Han Qian suddenly remembered that his father had served as a magistrate in charge of prison litigation in the Chuzhou Army, and Chuzhou was close to the Liang State and close to the Jin State, and scouts from the two countries often infiltrated to inquire about the situation, and every time there was a capture, most of them would be handed over to his father for disposal.

Whether it is the so-called "cool official" method, or the use of room and anti-room, what his father knows is really much more detailed and accurate than what he speculated behind closed doors.

It's no wonder that Fan Xicheng and the others directly taught the children of the family soldiers, and they were a little at a loss, but he personally called Fan Xicheng and them to ask, but he was able to ask a lot of useful details.

In fact, Fan Xicheng followed his father's side, and unconsciously mastered many means, but they didn't think about putting them into practice, let alone summarizing them to teach others.

"My father once served as a magistrate in the Chuzhou Army, and he has a lot of experience in use, why don't you write a book?" Han Qian asked, thinking that if his father could help him write this book, in addition to getting twice the result with half the effort, he could also attract his father's attention to compiling the book.

"Things in the room are ever-changing, and it is difficult to explain them in one paper. And Sun Tzu said that the five rooms, in addition to the cause and life can be said, the three types of the inside, the anti-room, and the death room are actually teaching people to be evil, and it is okay to know what is going on and prevent it, but writing books to talk about it may have a legacy. Han Do-hoon said.

Han Qian wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, he naturally did everything he could, but he didn't expect his father to still want to maintain a moral bottom line in this kind of thing.

However, Han Qian also knew that his father's moral standards were shaped by his decades of sad and joyful life, and could not be broken by him in a few words, so he looked through the paper manuscript and saw that his father's annotations were enough for him to sort out for a few days, and said: "The child will first rearrange the manuscript, and then ask his father to read the annotations......

Han Daoxun was reluctant to write this kind of manuscript, but Han Qian had a natural talent, and there were many methods written in the manuscript that he had never heard of, but he could feel it deeply when he thought about it, which also made people even more worried that Han Qian's mind was undecided and easy to go astray, so he nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

For idle positions like Han Daoxun's secretary and young eunuch, as long as there is no big event like Hongwenguan being burned down, he can usually rest until after the Lantern Festival before he needs to go to the official office.

And after the incident, the officials who had dealings with Han Daoxun in the past no longer came to the door - even Feng Yi and Kong Xirong privately complained to Han Qian that they were also ordered by their families to come to this side less often.

In his spare time, Han Daoxun has more time to help Han Qian edit the manuscript.

Comparatively speaking, in addition to practicing swords and bows, teaching the children of the family soldiers, and taking care of the villa, Han Qian also had to show his face at the Linjiang Marquis Mansion every once in a while, and this year was much busier than his father.
