Chapter 921: Regenerative Branch
Lord Qiao was so kind to persuade him, but he didn't have any good intentions.
The matter of Bai Li Xuan and Jiang Can has previously aroused the vigilance of Bai Li Yan and Qiao County, and they are worried that they have no chance to cut one in two, this time Lu Hou wants to hire a granddaughter-in-law, and Bai Li Xuan is so outstanding, he just pushed it out to "sell", and earned the help of Lu Hou for Yongxing Hou's mansion.
Second, when Baili Yan's southern expedition was about to go, the Xuantinghou family hurriedly sent the under-adult Qiao County Lord to him Baili Yan on the bed, saying how uncomfortable he was, but in fact, his heart was happy. Maybe at that time, Baili Yan was martyred in the southern part of the country, and the lord of Qiao County was also famous, and with the support of the uncle of King Xian, pearl cultivation and steelmaking in Yongxing became the bag of the Xuanting Marquis.
Now that there are no male heirs in the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, it is very problematic how to distribute the family property in the future, but it will roughly be distributed among the four daughters under the knees of Jiang Rong and the county lord Qiao, and the other concubine daughters will be married out one day earlier, and the family wealth will be less, which is the plan of the county lord Qiao.
The atmosphere in the study was very depressed for a while, only the Lord of Qiao County was uneasy, she asked:
"Is Lu Hou hired for one son, or is it hired by all the sons, if it is hired together, this is not cost-effective."
"Listening to the meaning of Luhou, it should only be hired for one grandchild, but there will be many sons at that time, and it is difficult to say if there is a next hiring, but I also said that our daughter can't look down on it, and we can't force it."
"In this way, it may be one daughter, or it may be that all four daughters are married."
"Didn't Fu'er also say it, if they are all married, this family business will be broken. The Luhou family married my four daughters, and half of the Yongxing Hou Mansion entered the Luhou family in a blink of an eye, which is still worth it. ”
Bailiyan has a total of ten daughters, four of whom are married to the Marquis of Lu, and in the future, the Marquis of Luhou is bound to become the dominant force in the DPRK and China, and the economy will also fully annex the Yongxing forces, which is extremely unfavorable to the political situation. Continue to maintain the current three-legged tripartite cooperation momentum and make it more stable.
Taking a step back, the marriage of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion affects the political direction of the imperial court, if Jiang Rong's daughter also marries into the Luhou, the relationship between Guangxin and the Luhou will also change, and the Guangxin Jiang family will become a heavyweight bargaining chip in the hands of the Luhou.
At the same time, the Marquis of Xuan Ting and Princess Lan Yuan had to get a marriage for their sons and nephews in order to balance the power of the Marquis of Lu and share the property of the Marquis of Yongxing.
Therefore, Lu Hou is probably also worried about marrying four daughters at the same time, causing a bad situation in which one party is dominant, and if he is a little sensible, he will not marry all of them, at most two.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Liyan said cautiously:
"Don't talk about this matter to the four daughters of Fang, Xiang, Xuan, and Caiyun for the time being, and act on the day of the Dragon and Phoenix Meeting. In addition, after all, Lu Hou is a pivotal figure in the Xian country, and the dragon and phoenix will inevitably attract the attention of all parties. ”
"Understood, you can let it go." Jiang Rong said, her tears have subsided a lot.
Although the Marquis of Lu and the salt lord are not in the court, nor do they participate in politics, the political inertia generated by the connections and economic capital accumulated over the past few hundred years is immeasurable, and the political benefits of marrying with the Marquis of Lu at the time of the treacherous situation in this dynasty are obvious, but the disadvantages are sinking under the surface of the water for a while and a half, and it is difficult to predict what kind of reaction the forces will make.
The next day, Bai Liyan went to the Liang State Legation Mansion to make final negotiations with Ji Feng, and Ji Feng still smiled leisurely, giving people the illusion that people were harmless.
The negotiations finally reached a final agreement with a loan of 1.1 million Singapore dollars with a tenor of 25 percent interest, gold and silver ore equivalent to 700,000 inches of silver, and 630,000 cash. At the same time, it undertakes to cover other additional costs incurred during the period with gold and silver ore.
In the afternoon of the same day, the two entered the palace together, and finally the five parties of the Sinong Mansion, the Tax Division, the Tax Undertaking Division, the Inner Government and the Foreign Ruling Mansion finally discussed and confirmed that there were no major flaws in the agreement, and the transaction would be officially concluded in a few days.
The transaction with Ji Feng has been carried out in secret before, and the cabinet does not know the details of the transaction, but the news has already spread and it is not false, and the outside world rarely knows what the specific transaction is.
The five divisions of the Si Nong Mansion, the Tax Division, the Tax Undertaking Division, the Inner Government and the Foreign Ruling Mansion were also dumbfounded when they saw the beginning of the agreement, and the affairs of Yongxing City have always been dictated by Bailiyan, where did they know what the machine was, so the cabinet exploded in this matter.
At the same time, on April 11, the dust of Cao Chizheng's funeral settled, and Su Fangyi rushed back to Xianguo from Xu State.
This product is now over sixty years old, but it is still as strong as it was back then. Bai Liyan previously summed up two longevity experiences, and this Wei Chiguang echoed all two.
First, life is in motion. Second, a reasonable diet is the main thing, Wei Chiguang is a businessman, and eating and drinking are definitely indispensable. In addition, the consumption is also large, and it has the basic conditions for longevity.
These two are also longevity truths today, but they are difficult to reach the sky today.
At present, the material conditions are poor, either malnutrition, or large amounts of oil and meat, and serious extremism, so in the Chengping era, the average life expectancy of most of the civilian class was between 40 and 50, and during the war years, it was only more than 30, and the ruling elite class accounted for the majority of the 50 men, and those who lived over 60 years old were nothing more than physical differences and medical conditions, and sometimes it depended on luck.
It is not common for a monarch like King Xian to live in a harem full of delicious dishes until his early sixties. One of the big reasons is that the diet is extremely rich, in addition to the traditional big oil mixture, a large number of food and new patterns introduced to the Central Plains enrich the food variety, no longer need to be either barbecue or boiled meat as before, eating and eating is all meat.
Secondly, the medical conditions are better, and there is no more advanced level of medical services in Xianguo in the whole world. Finally, it's important to be in a good mood. There have been several ups and downs in his life, and he has been able to change from a dead country to a frontier and glory to his ancestors, and there are few people in history, and King Xian is one of them.
Based on the above points, the longevity of King Xian is an inevitable result.
Wei Chiguang's goods are the expatriate finances of the royal guest, although the southern border has long ceased to fight, and the royal guest envoy has also been revoked. However, because Su Fangyi brought back a huge amount of wealth back then, so that the royal guests had the capital to do business, so all the royal customers raised money back then turned into businessmen who called for wind and rain.
Knowing that Yu Chiguang came with him, Bai Liyan only thought that there must be nothing good.
Since the armistice on all fronts in the first year of the Sheng, Yuke has been obtaining a share of industrial and civilian goods from Xianguo at almost cost prices for external sales, and some of them are also used for reserves and consumption, which is not too much overall.
This matter has also been taken care of by Su Fangyi, this time Wei Chiguang should not just be familiar with his face, and ask for some shares, after all, at such an old age, he may kick his legs at any time and die, and it is meaningless to rely on his face to be familiar.
Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, he immediately stumped Bailiyan, and Yuke fell in love with the "gun" again this time.
"In view of the power of the new weapons in Yongxing City, the main hall hopes to obtain a batch of these weapons, so the old man was sent to discuss this matter with the secretary of Yongxing Hou."
Wei Chiguang and Pan confessed, and Su Fangyi answered:
"Yongxing Hou Mo wants to be angry, this matter is not Su Mou's intention to leak it. When you asked people to go to test the gun, my brother already knew about it, and I didn't want to continue to hide it for you when the main hall asked, and I hope that Yan Gongzi will blame him. ”
Bai Liyan really wanted to be angry at this time, but he couldn't get angry, where could he not give the things that the royal guest wanted, that is, he wanted the stars in the sky, and he had to pick them.
He shook his head with a bitter face and said helplessly:
"It's not that Benhou is prevaricating, but that Yongxing City is now fully engaged in the production of the machines needed by Boyuanjun, and he really can't spare his hands to make firearms for a while. Moreover, our army has not yet been equipped with new weapons, so how can it be arranged for the royal guests, it is really powerless. ”
Yu Chiguang continued unrelentingly:
"If the Marquis of Yongxing is for gold and silver, the head hall promises to exchange huge profits for new weapons of the Xianguo, and the Marquis of Yongxing does not have to worry about gold and silver."
"Although the gold and silver are good, Ben Hou can't spare his hands to make weapons, so he can't do anything about it."
Seeing that Bailiyan still refused, Su Fangyi and Wei Chiguang exchanged opinions with their eyes staggered, and the next moment Su Fangyi said solemnly:
"About five months ago, when a fleet of ships from the main hall passed the sea off Changsun Haitian County, they rescued a man from a wooden plank floating on the sea.
Hearing this, Bai Liyan tried hard to outline the outline, and was taken aback at the next moment:
"Why, it's white!"
Su Fangyi was surprised and hurriedly asked:
"Yongxing Hou has ever seen a person whose skin is as white as snow?"
"It's not true, it's just that Jin Xuedi people have a complexion like gold and snow-white hair, and if you want to come to such a person with a complexion like snow, there should be the same in the world."
Of course, Bai Liyan couldn't admit that he had seen white people, but the appearance of white people at the moment was indeed beyond his expectations. At least before he met Jin Xuedi, he had already realized that maybe other races on this planet would not have the same skin color as the terrestrial humans on Earth, and now it was obviously a bit surprising to hear white people.
According to Su Fangyi's confession, at the end of May, when the trading fleet of Yuke passed through Haitian County of Changsun Kingdom, this person was found on the surface of the open sea.
Due to the language barrier, this person has been detained in the Imperial Guest Hall, trying to communicate with him.
In the early years, because of the "Sky Boat" incident, Yuke and Bailiyan had reached a consensus, due to the huge gap in science and technology, and species differences, the civilization of the northern hemisphere may not have good intentions, and the discovery of white people this time caused a panic in Yuke.
They identified the items seized from the heavenly ship seized by the Eldest Sun Kingdom to the white man, and as expected, this man had seen it, not only had seen it, but also knew how to load and use it.
