After the feast, there are rewards as usual.

The previous reward was given to Shen Yang, Guo Rong, Han Qian and others for their meritorious service to the three princes, which was given by the palace.

And this time the three princes officially opened the palace, even if Guo Rong, Shen Yang and other vacancies are all official awards, nominally belong to the staff of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, this time the reward is naturally carried out in the name of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, in order to show his favor.

Guo Rong, Shen Yang, and Chen De are subordinates of the unified army, and they are the most rewarded.

Guo Liang, Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others are the first level of the Marquis of Duyu, and the reward is secondary; Li Chong, Song Xin of the Inner Palace, the deputy supervisor of the Hou Mansion, and the deputy commander of the guard battalion, etc., are in important positions, and they are also similar.

Han Qian, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong and Zhu Cao joined the army and engaged, etc., and the rewards were even worse.

Of course, Han Qian had already received the richest reward alone yesterday, and ten Hepu beads were worth millions, but he didn't care about a few silk horses today. Just looking at the few silk horses that were rewarded today, and he could also see the stamps left in the palace, Han Qian could see that this should be Yang Yuanpu who had just received a reward from Emperor Tianyou or the princess and his wife, and hurriedly removed the stamps and gave them a reward.

However, it can also be seen that the third prince Yang Yuanpu is in a hurry.

Yang Yuanpu went out of the palace to go to the house, sealed the 3,000 households of Linjiang Marquis Shiyi, there was no real seal, and the court directly pulled out the money for the food, 3,000 stone of grain and 3,000 horses of cloth and silk every year, plus the reward of Emperor Tianyou during the New Year's Festival, a total of tens of millions of dollars of income a year.

The guard camp and the Inner Palace of the Inner Servant Province do not need to be supplied by the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and Yang Yuanpu wants to live a luxurious life, which is still more than enough, but it is far from enough to cultivate power.

Not to mention the rest, only the cantonment military government of the Dragon Bird Army, to say the least, has to paste in money and materials equivalent to 200,000 stone grains, so that it is possible to continue to maintain, but it is only barely maintained.

After all, there are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people recruited by the cantonment military government, and within three to five years, the work of isolating the source of the epidemic cannot be slackened in the slightest, and it is necessary to continuously invest a large amount of money, materials and manpower.

In addition, even if an embankment is built on the north shore of Chishan Lake and the lake and beach land are fully reclaimed and utilized, the final cantonment camp can get 100,000 mu of land at most, and the harvest must be reclaimed A lot of dry land is much lower than that of paddy fields, and the annual harvest is expected to be barely estimated for the tun households, and there is no way to feed the military needs of the Longque Army.

And the thousands of armor, weapons, mules and horses of the Dragon Bird Army, as well as the supplies of the generals, military rewards and so on, it is far from enough to draw 20 million yuan a year from the DPRK.

Han Qian believed that the Late Red Mansion and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion had strong financial resources, but he didn't think that no matter how strong their financial resources were, they could really support an elite army of soldiers and horses.

Today, under the urging of Li Zhihe, the military government Cangcao finally settled the money and grain accounts with the villa, but Han Qian was in the villa today, and pulled out the year-end reward for the soldiers, slaves and maids and potters, and found that the surplus was only four or five hundred thousand yuan in addition to the ten beads that the concubine had just rewarded.

You must know that last month, he taught Feng Yi to gamble on the share of the postoperative income, and he still had more than one million dollars in his hand.

Thinking of this, Han Qian felt deeply painful, and thought that if his father was not too generous, 6,000 quintals of lime per month to supply the military government, he would not be able to pick up 780,000 yuan from the Late Red Mansion and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

…………

The banquet here in the Hou Mansion began to be dark, and the night was not deep at the end. Li Chong said that watching Yao Xishui's sword dance was not enjoyable, and invited Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Han Qian to chase Yao Xishui to the Evening Red Mansion to watch Yao Xishui's performance.

Feng Yi and Kong Xirong now had a handle in Li Chong's hands, and they didn't dare to give Li Chong a look easily, so a few of them rode to the Wanhong Mansion surrounded by family soldiers.

Walking into Yao Xishui's courtyard, everyone just sat down in the warm pavilion, the tea and fruit wine had just been put down, and the musicians were also arranged to play the piano in the wing room next door.

Han Qian also pretended to be surprised, and then saluted Yang Yuanpu with Feng Yi and Kong Xirong.

"Li Senjun said that you are all people I can trust?" Although Yang Yuanpu was still a little immature, he lowered his voice and asked Han Qian, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong, and he was quite depressed.

Looking at Yang Yuanpu's banquet today and his performance at this time, Han Qian guessed that he was also leading the Dragon Bird Army, and his behavior was much freer than before, and Xinchang Hou Li Pu should have another person to teach him.

And Yang Yuanpu said this to Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, Han Qian saw that Feng Kong and Kong both had bitter looks on their faces, and he also knew what they were thinking.

Even if they were coerced and willing to do things for the third prince Yang Yuanpu, they couldn't decide the final choice of the Feng family and the Kong family.

Han Qian helped them directly clarify the words, and then there was no need to detour about anything, and said: "We will naturally try our best to do things for Your Highness, but if we can't do things thoroughly, I hope Your Highness will be lenient." ”

"It's good if you can do it with all your heart, and what you can't do, Your Highness won't be difficult." Li Zhihe stood next to him and said.

Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were still afraid that Li Chong would take advantage of them and force them to do what they couldn't do, and then force them into a dilemma. With Han Qian and Li Zhihe setting the tone, their expressions relaxed, and they said, "I'm afraid that I can't do it, and I will be entrusted by His Highness." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, it's good for Han Qian to do things for His Highness." Li Chong said.

Han Qian stared at Li Chong gloomily, and he also noticed that Li Zhihe stared at Li Chong sternly, stopping him from provoking again.

Han Qian saw Feng Yi and Kong Xirong's eyes showing suspicion, turned his head sideways and said to them: "I built a lime kiln in the villa, which is really a matter assigned by His Highness, but fortunately I have lived up to His Highness's trust - and speaking of which, I think there is one thing that you can do for Your Highness." ”

Han Qian had been recuperating in the villa for nearly a month, and Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were still a little strange, but at this time, they suddenly realized and asked, "What is the matter, we will do it for His Highness?" ”

They don't want to be forced too close by Li Chong, so they always have to do what they can, meaning.

"Mr. Shen Yang read a lot of books and found an ancient method thinking that lime could extinguish the epidemic. Not to mention that this method is not feasible, but if this statement can prevail, the lime of Qiuhu Mountain can also make profits for His Highness through your store's warehouse! Han Qian said.

He spent so much effort to build so many lime kilns in the villa, but he couldn't make a profit, so he couldn't be willing.

Feng Wenlan, as a household servant, previously worked in the Daying Treasury, which specialized in collecting tribute from Zhou County, and the Feng family also relied on this convenience to run several warehouses to collect and store products from Zhou County and sell them in Gyeonggi.

Of course, Han Qian can also run a few warehouses, but even if he can control the black and white, if he runs the warehouse and brags about the benefits of lime for profit, it will be too easy to attract the attention of Anning Palace and the crown prince to his Han family.

However, there was too little lime in the world at that time, so it had to be widely advocated, and even used the epidemic to build momentum and bring a little pit to deceive the state and county.

Han Qian thought about using the Feng family's warehouse and the influence of the Feng family, on the one hand, in addition to the fact that he did not have so many manpower, on the other hand, in addition to distracting the attention of the Anning Palace and the crown prince's family, he also had to use exact means to tie Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to the thief ship.

Li Zhihe arranged this private meeting, and he also thought about pulling out the introduction, and then thinking about how to use Feng Yi and Kong Xirong in the future, but he didn't expect Han Qian's scheming to turn faster than them.

And they also considered that the price of lime from the Mid-Autumn Festival Hushan Courtyard was extremely low, and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion also had a warehouse, which could be sold out for profit, but seeing that Han Qian entrusted this matter to Feng Yi, it could be regarded as a means to tie up the Feng family step by step, so they no longer raised any objections.

Feng Yi went to the villa once for Kong Xirong, but he didn't dare to go again after that, and he didn't know how the lime kiln was built, and he didn't want to be too perfunctory in the third prince, so he asked for details.

"You arrange for a ship to come over to transport the goods, and I will supply you at half of the market price," Han Qian said, "But in the matter of transporting goods into the villa, you had better hand it over to the people who can hold your mouth and market Jinling and Jianghuaizhou County for profit. ”

Feng Yi thought about this matter, and there were more than a dozen obedient minions in front of him and behind him, saving them from not working, and thinking about getting rewards from him all day long.

Talking about this matter, Chen De, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong were very bored listening to Qing Shuiqin here.

At the end of the year, in addition to the counter shop, it is not forbidden to open gambling games in other places, and the evening red building is no exception - listening to the noisy shouting faintly from the courtyard in front, you can know that there are also several gambling games held here at the same time at night for the guests to have fun.

Seeing that Feng Yi and Kong Xirong couldn't sit still, Yang Yuanpu asked Chen Dra's two of them to go out.

As soon as Chen De, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong left, Yang Yuanpu turned sideways and said to Han Qian:

"I didn't plan to do anything secret before, and it was almost a bad thing, and I hope that Master Han will guide Yuan Pu a lot in the future."

Han Qian looked at Li Zhihe, Li Chong, and Chai Jian with shocked faces, and wondered in his heart, could it be that Yang Yuanpu's words were not taught by others?

However, even if Yang Yuanpu said it sincerely, Han Qian would not put it in his heart, after all, Yang Yuanpu was only a teenager under the age of fourteen, and his growth environment was extremely feminine since he was born, and his judgment was too easily disturbed and influenced by others.

Yang Yuanpu's repetition before is proof of this; To put it nicely, Yang Yuanpu is just a teenager who tries his best to be mature.

However, thinking about it in his heart, Han Qian also knelt down and returned the salute with great excitement, saying:

"For His Royal Highness, Han Qian will do his best, do his best, and die for himself."

The corners of Li Chong's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, he didn't expect Han Qian's status in the minds of the third prince Yang Yuanpu to be so high at this time, and he was actually called "Master Han", so as an accompaniment, he would not be able to sit down to Han Qian from now on?

At this time, the door of the wing room suddenly opened, but saw Su Hongyu and Yao Xishui sitting in the wing room and sitting on the piano, it could be seen that they were also deeply surprised by Yang Yuanpu's words just now, and they were a little wronged when they thought about it, although the strategy was offered by Han Qian, but without so many resources pasted into the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Building, this matter can be seen on a certain scale in a month?

"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to listen to the sound of the Su family's piano again, it's a real honor." Han Qian sat upright, arched his hand towards Su Hongyu, and said.

"It's an honor for me and Xishui to listen to Han Gongzi's plan." Su Hongyu said with a smile.

Han Qian instigated Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to join the gang just now, and he still wanted to seek more personal gains, but looking at Su Hongyu's gentle expression, he couldn't tell if she was sarcastic.

"Han Gongzi was in His Royal Highness's mansion just now, and he said that watching the slave and maid dance the sword is not enjoyable, but do you want the slave and maid to dance the sword to Han Gongzi at this time?" Yao Xishui Yingying got up and asked.

Thinking that Feng Yi had been frightened today, he didn't want to find guilt for himself, and said: "If I can dance a sword, I should dance a sword to Miss Yao and everyone Su." ”

Seeing that Han Qian changed his face faster than flipping a book in the third prince Yang Yuanpu, Yao Xishui secretly hated in his heart, but he also smiled and walked over and saluted Yang Yuanpu with Su Hongyu, and then everyone walked out of Yao Xishui's courtyard......
