Chapter 25: The Future 2
What does my future matter to you?
Of course, you can't answer like this, no matter how you say it, the father in front of you is all your own body, and it's purely looking for a draw when you say this.
I want to make steel, make guns and cannons, destroy the Tartars first, then destroy the Southern Zhou, send a large army to the west, destroy the West, and then send a fleet to conquer the New World and unify the world!
If it goes well, this is really Xu Shiyang's wish, but he can't say it eitherβhe is afraid of scaring Xu Muhe.
So, since you can't say any of this, you can only say something good that can be accepted.
"My future ......." Xu Shiyang pondered for a moment, and then said, "My future is the future of the family. β
"As long as the family is prosperous, as the eldest son of the second room, I can naturally live comfortably and well."
Speaking of this, Xu Shiyang pretended to sigh deeply and said:
"Father, this world will not be chaotic forever, when the world is unified again and the world is quiet, a martial artist like me who is not good at reading will be useless."
"At that time, I hope you can persuade the fifth brother as you did today, and let him take care of me, a brother who only knows how to fight and kill."
"Now, let me be my brother first, and lay a good foundation for my younger brother!"
"Shi Yang, you are a good boy!" Xu Muhe was really moved - it's better to be his own son!
"Actually, not only our brothers, but also your father and ......, but also uncles, we also have to think about the future." Xu Shiyang reminded in a low voice.
"When are we old? As long as you boys can be safe, we will be at ease. β
Xu Muhe smiled disapprehantly, after the political speculation ten years ago ended without a hitch, all his ambitions were dead, and now, what he cared about most was indeed only the continuation of the Xu family, and the future of his son (Xu Shiyang can be added now).
"Father, you and Uncle are both well-known Jinshi and Di, how can you always be mixed with Tian Mo."
Xu Shiyang whispered:
"I'm going to fight, if I can win a few games by luck, the matter of the fifth brother going to Jiangnan is naturally the first priority, but can't my father take the opportunity to ask for the post of county commander of Juzhou or Rizhao County from the imperial court? Or, it is not impossible for the uncle to be in charge of Juzhou and the father to be in charge of Rizhao. β
"Hehe, the city of Juzhou is ruined, and I'm afraid there is not even a population of a dock fort in it now, what is the use of coming?" Xu Muhe smiled and shook his head.
"The name is right." Xu Shiyang explained: "As long as there is a formal appointment from the imperial court, we can order all the dock forts in Juzhou and Rizhao counties. β
This is a miniature version of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
In other words, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty.
After all, nominally, all the areas north of the Yangtze River and within the Great Wall are still the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all the people above are still the subjects of the Great Zhou.
Although the imperial court said that it favored the south of the Yangtze River and looked like a bad breed who did not want to make progress, it still had influence on the Han people.
There are indeed many people in Jiangbei who are looking forward to the Jiangnan Imperial Court's northern expedition to the Central Plains and the end of this miserable and chaotic era.
If a local wealthy family like the Xu family can get an official appointment from the imperial court, it will indeed have the ability to overwhelm other surrounding families.
In addition, for the main battle faction in Jiangnan, the re-establishment of Juzhou and Rizhao counties can be publicized as the first time since the establishment of the country to recover the territory of Jiangbei (although Jiangbei is not occupied by any foreign enemies now)!
This can play a very important role in consolidating the relationship between the Xu family and the main battle faction in Jiangnan.
Finally, it is also a more realistic benefit - it is normal for one's own officials to take a little subsidy from the imperial court, right?
There are so many benefits, Xu Muhe can't help but be impressed.
It's just that the premise of all this is that the Xu family must go all out to support Xu Shiyang's counterattack against the Tartar raids in the next few years.
Only when the battle is won and Xu Shiyang becomes a hero against the Tartar invasion can all this be realized, if he is defeated, it will be the end of the death of the clan!
Well, it's not right, if this attack on Fulai Mountain is successful, even if Xu Shiyang is defeated, the core members of the family can hide on Fulai Mountain, Tartar is not familiar with the terrain, and it is estimated that there will be no good way to take the Xu family.
In other words, if Xu Shiyang wins, the Xu family wins, and if he loses, it will not bring too much harm to the Xu family!
Xu Muhe even admired his son a little!
"Shiyang ......." He sighed with emotion: "The Xu family is very fortunate to have you!" Fortunately!! β
"Father, you've won the prize."
Xu Shiyang lowered his head and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You don't have to be humble, too much humility is arrogance." Xu Muhe said: "Do what you want!" I will not give you all the villages for the time being, lest others think that you are going to monopolize the property of the second house. β
"However, I will fully support you! Whatever you want, come straight to me! As long as I have it, I can give it to you! You can command all the villages in the second room, and I will try my best to find a way to convince your uncle to support you! β
"Thank you, father!"
This thank you is sincere - with his father's full support, Xu Shiyang can use much more resources.
Moreover, the idea he gave to Xu Muhe today, if it can be realized, will also be of great benefit to Xu Shiyang himself!
If the Xu family can officially obtain the jurisdiction of Juzhou and Rizhao counties, Xu Shiyang will have the opportunity to mobilize all the dock forts in the county and unite with the outside world.
If Xu Shiliu can be an official in Jiangnan, not to mention that the second room will definitely be in his own pocket now, he can also bring himself a lot of material and political support!
Is there anyone in the court who is easy to do, this has been the case since ancient times, and the same is true for future generations.
If you ......, don't need if, if these words are said today, Xu Shiyang is equivalent to coming up with a strategic plan for the next ten years or longer of the Xu family, and this plan has been strongly supported by one of the "three giants of the family".
Working together in 5 villages is always much better than doing it alone.
"Father just said that 500 to 1,000 Tartar heads are enough, right?" Xu Shiyang confirmed.
"That's right!" Xu Muhe replied in a deep voice: "I am still a little old in Jiangnan, as long as there are 500 Tartar heads, these things you said are easy to do!" It's just that it's best to get it all at once, and if you can do it, it will be the biggest victory over the Tartars since the beginning of my dynasty! β
"If you can't have a big win, you have to accumulate a little more ......." Xu Muhe's voice was much lower, and he seemed to feel that it was too embarrassing to behead 500 people at a time for Tartar.
At the beginning, many court officials and soldiers couldn't do it, and let his underage son lead a group of peasants to do it, which made Xu Muhe himself feel blushing, and it was also very unrealistic.
"The next time the Tartars come, it's going to be a while." Xu Shiyang also guessed what his father was thinking, and he said lightly: "Let's get ready, it's too early to say this, our Xu family, we have to move forward step by step." β
"This first step is to lay down Fulai Mountain first and arrange the final retreat for your family!"
