Silent night.

In a dimly lit bed tent.

Lu Yuan looked at Tang Ying by the faint moonlight.

But Lu Yuan didn't do anything, he knew that Tang Ying was still a little resistant to men and women.

Therefore, Lu Yuan gave up, and he didn't want to force a fifteen-year-old girl to do something she didn't want to do.

Lu Yuan felt that it was better for him to come step by step.

For example, now holding each other's hands and sleeping together is a good place to start.

"Lu Lang, the ready-to-wear store has made us a profit of more than 6,000 taels of silver in the past two days, I never thought that doing business would make so much money, by the way, Lu Lang, how much did your weaving workshop earn? I think the cloth shop seems to make less than two hundred taels of silver a day. ”

Tang Ying asked, and then said: "Otherwise, let's close the weaving workshop, you help me make clothes together, and it's a big deal to sell the craftsmanship of spring breeze cloth to others." ”

Lu Yuan smiled and took out a few bills under the pillow: "This is the payment for the goods ordered by the Zheng family these days, you can take a look, and I will hand it over to you when the time comes, and you will be responsible for the affairs of the Lu family." ”

Tang Ying took these bills, got up and got out of bed, lit the candle lamp himself, and then looked at it: "Twenty-five thousand taels, sixty thousand taels, one hundred and sixty-four thousand taels!" ”

"164,000 taels is the payment for the goods just arrived, this is the third time that the Zheng family has ordered from our weaving mill, since the Zheng family ordered the first batch of goods in our weaving workshop sold in Japan, the Zheng family's order list is getting bigger and bigger, and over time, it will not be a problem to break through one million taels."

Lu Yuan got up and looked at Tang Ying under the light and said.

Tang Ying was slightly stunned, and said with some loss: "It's still more profitable to weave a weaving workshop, so my ready-to-wear store is nothing." ”

"Come under the covers, be careful of the cold."

Lu Yuan uncovered his quilt and said.

Tang Ying hesitated a little, but finally obediently fell into Lu Yuan's arms.

Lu Yuan just hugged Tang Ying like this, sniffed the fragrant honey locust on her hair that she had just washed and said: "I can't say that, the operation of the weaving mill at home can be maintained by the profits of daily retail and wholesale spring breeze cloth, and the silver of your garment store is just enough to maintain the internal and external affairs of the Lu family, and the money earned by the weaving mill through the Zheng family's going to sea, I have to use it to raise soldiers." ”

"Raising soldiers?"

Tang Ying turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, a melon seed jade face as bright as a crooked crescent moon.

Lu Yuan held Tang Ying's soft jade back, breathed in the fragrant fragrance emanating from her body, and replied: "That's right, I'll tell you the truth, I want to train a strong army, not only to protect myself, but also to repel Jiannu in the future and dominate the world." ”

Tang Ying's eyes widened in shock: "Fight for the world? Lu Lang, you won't be confused, this from ancient times to the present, those who compete for domination in the world are many horse leather shrouds, and there are few people who eventually achieve great things, and since ancient times, there are many people who are dominant, even now, the Huang Taiji in Jiannu, as well as what you said Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, that is, I heard my father and brother say that Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, who are now in the limelight, are not simple characters, you and I are just ordinary couples, how can we think of competing for the world. ”

Lu Yuan looked at Tang Ying, who was condensed with goose fat on her cheeks and nasal condensed with new li, and couldn't help but peck on her smooth forehead: "I'm just talking nonsense, we are all worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver now, we can't just be rich businessmen." ”

"Lu Lang, I like your appearance of having male ambitions, but let's not fight for domination of the world, I don't want to be a widow for you in the future."

Tang Ying said and hammered Lu Yuan's chest with a powder fist.

"Then you say, what should we do?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Let's go to Jiangnan, go to Jiangnan to buy a garden and buy a few hundred acres of land, and the slaves and thieves can't fight Jiangnan", Tang Ying took the initiative to hug Lu Yuan's waist and smiled sweetly.

"Do you think that you can live forever across the Yangtze River", Lu Yuan said and scratched Tang Ying's nose: "Innocent! ”

Tang Ying made a grimace and touched his nose: "It's always okay for Gou An to be a hundred years old, when the Jin soldiers went south, didn't they hit Jiangnan." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that the Southern Ming Dynasty in history also thought so, but what about the facts."

Lu Yuan scolded a sentence, and said: "People should not hope to pin their hopes on others, their own strength is the last word, the Song Dynasty was because there was a Yue Fei, do you think that in the future, Jiannu will really enter the Central Plains, will let go of the rich Jiangnan, you have to know that most of the grain in Jingshi comes from Jiangnan, and half of the world's taxes are taken from Jiangnan, and are you sure that I will have a Yue Fei in the future?" ”

Tang Ying was silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "Okay, I can allow you to use most of your property to train soldiers, but you can't rebel, let alone think about fighting for the world!" ”

"Okay, I promise you, when the military position of the imperial court comes down, we will move to a new place, where we will build the strongest city, the kind that can keep the peace for ten thousand years."

Lu Yuan said.

"A hundred years is enough, Lu Lang, I think it is enough for us to stay together for a hundred years until we are old, what do you think!"

Tang Ying smiled and uncovered the quilt and got back into his quilt.

"A hundred years?"

Lu Yuan was stunned, and suddenly felt that he was cold underneath, and then realized that Tang Ying was gone, and couldn't help but cover the quilt back: "What are you doing back?" ”

"I, I, I don't want to."

Tang Ying replied.

"You have to get used to it, you don't get used to it, how to have children, how to be a mother-in-law?"

Lu Yuan said.

"Oh".

Tang Ying replied in a low voice, and then only the sound of calm breathing remained.

The next day was the day when Lu Yuan and Tang Ying returned to the door.

According to the etiquette system, Lu Yuan and Tang Ying had to live in Tang Ying's mother's house for a few days.

Coincidentally, the matter of Lu Yuan's pursuit of a military position also had a result, as soon as Lu Yuan came to the Tang Mansion, Tang Wenyun called him over: "Father replied that it is very good for you to have a heart to practice martial arts, he has asked a friend in the military department to ask you for a job of the general flag, and the official product is to try a hundred households, but you must be a military attache in the battalion if you can have military power, but as a barracks officer, you have to have merit, it just so happens that Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, has been able to suppress bandits recently, and I have contacted his staff, Fight for you to mix a merit and strive to become a hundred households with soldiers, but you need three thousand taels of silver. ”

Lu Yuan was naturally grateful for this, if it weren't for the fact that the Tang family was an official family and had a strong network of connections in the officialdom, he might not be able to find an opportunity to bribe the governor of Shandong and become a hundred households with his own connections.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll send the required silver, but I don't know if I will send it directly to the governor's yamen, or?" Lu Yuan asked.

"You are still just a small trial now, naturally you can't see Futai, you have to go in person, I will see his staff Master Long with my father's name, and this matter will be done."

Tang Wenyun said with a smile.

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking that he was just a governor, and he was not qualified to meet him now, so wouldn't it be more difficult for him to see Chongzhen?
