After cleaning up Lin Qianzong and mastering the military power of the Dongying horse team, Guan Zhuofan, in addition to cleaning up military discipline and transferring some positions of captains and sentinels, was still busy thinking about a silver thing - to put the large amount of silver brought to Rehe to use.

He knew that if the 10,000 taels of silver tickets given by Bao Jun for the first time were to buy him a loyal one, then the 10,000 taels that King Gong rewarded this time was not intended to be given to him personally, after all, the reward offered for him was high enough. This 10,000 taels was for him to invite him to buy the heart of the army in Rehe, in addition, he himself took another 5,000 taels from the cash at home, and he wanted to use this 15,000 taels of silver to buy a guarantee for future actions.

Guan Zhuofan knows very well that in this shijie, his biggest advantage is his familiarity with history - when, who, and what will happen. The course of history has a huge inertia and will not be easily affected by the so-called "butterfly effect", which is also confirmed by the events from his time to the present. However, he is still careful to observe and maintain this process, and when he really wants to intervene in this history, he hopes to accumulate the greatest advantage, and even if the course of history changes, he must ensure that it is changed in his favor.

This money, he planned to use it mainly on his infantry Yamen horse team, and Lao A's third Zuo of their cavalry battalion, but there was one more person, and he felt the need to take care of it. The chief soldier met Chang, Guan Zhuofan had a very good impression of him, he sold his face in the two things of returning to Beijing on vacation and taking out Lin Qianzong, and he is considered the military chief of the infantry yamen, once something happens, he may be a figure who can be fought for, even if he can't pull it over, at least let him not go against himself.

found Yu Chang's house in Rehe, and Guan Zhuofan used the name to thank Yu Zongbing for his promotion. Yu Chang was somewhat surprised by this statement, because of Guan Zhuofan's promotion, he did not contribute much. But the lower officials will always find an excuse for the upper officials, so they don't care, and invite Guan Zhuofan to the living room to talk.

"Mark it and say hello to your lords!" Guan Zhuofan saluted and said respectfully: "Thank you for your appreciation and promotion!" ”

"It's good, it's good, please get up." Yu Chang picked a touch of his nose from the snuffbox, wiped it on his upper lip, and took a deep breath, "They belong to the same flag, and they should take care of each other." ”

Guan Zhuofan took out a red envelope and offered it with both hands: "This is a little caution, please appreciate it." ”

"Hey, you're still here." Yu Chang took the package with a casual smile, and did not shy away from it, opening it with his hand. He is a descendant of the founding hero Yar Hashan, a son of a family, and the house is quite solid, although he thinks that Guan Zhuofan is knowledgeable and interesting, but he doesn't look at it for tens of hundreds of taels of silver. "Yixuan, you are leading the soldiers in the battalion, and it is not easy to earn some money, why bother to pay ......"

Speaking of this, he stopped, looked at the three silver tickets of five hundred taels in his hand, was taken aback, and paused for a while before saying, "This ...... Yixuan, this is too heavy...... Don't make a fuss. "I thought to myself, this Guan Zhuofan, just took down Mr. Lin Qian, don't just turn around and move the entire battalion's military salary to me, right?

What Guan Zhuofan learned is the heart of King Gong's reward, since Yuchang may be able to use it in the future, then don't make it piecemeal and sticky, but simply place a heavy bet, give enough at one time, and leave a deep impression on him. Seeing Yu Chang's surprised appearance at this time, Guan Zhuofan felt that his goal had been achieved.

"Don't dare," he replied, "I didn't dare," he replied, "I marked my family, my father left some silver and hundreds of acres of land, and all I wanted was to get ahead." The mark can have today, it all depends on the adults to take care of it, and this intention is due. ”

"Oh, that's disrespectful." Since it was not a military salary, Yuchang put his mind at ease. After taking such a heavy gift, he naturally changed his face, arched his hand and said: "I have benefited a lot!" Yixuan, thank you very much. ”

After saying politely, the two casually chatted about a few military affairs. Yu Chang thought to himself, he said it all, is it to get ahead, naturally he still wants to continue to be promoted. After receiving his money, he couldn't help but plan for him, pondered for a while, and said: "Yixuan, if you want to talk about the matter of the horse bandits last time, it should be your first credit." But your battle report is written like that, and he is a relative of the prince, so I can't say anything. You wait patiently until Huiluan, when the skill of escorting the car is recounted, I will see if I can find a way to change the top for you. ”

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, when he returns to Luan, Lao Tzu's top will be the same as yours, and it is unknown whether you can keep your top wear. Thinking so, I still owe my body and thank you: "Xiexie-sama cultivates!" ”

"Lord Wang, if you have the opportunity, I will naturally say good things for you." Yu Chang nodded at him and said, "But you yourself should also be embellished." ”

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid the threshold is too high and I can't step in." Thinking of Prince Zheng Duanhua, Guan Zhuofan said frankly, "Besides, I'm afraid that my little thing won't be able to enter the eyes of the prince." ”

"It may be high for others, but you are different. The prince saw your last time, and he was full of praise for you, didn't he almost give you an object of royal reward? In this battle with the horse bandits, you have earned a lot of face for him, so the threshold is high, don't worry, you will definitely be able to get in. ”

"Yes, Lord Xiexie."

"As for your little thing...... Yu Chang squinted at Guan Zhuofan with his eyes, and said with a smile: "If you think like this, then it will be miserable to be the prince." ”

Weishenme is miserable? Guan Zhuofan didn't know why, and looked at Yuchang.

"The palace is not born with gold and silver," Yu Chang patiently enlightened him, "The expenses are huge, what is enough to rely on the prince's share of money?" As subordinates, we naturally have to do our filial piety. There are many ways to send it, and there are few ways to send it. I'll show you a way, you don't spend much money, and you can match the prince's preferences. ”

Is there such a thing? It seems to be Yuchang's unique secret. Guan Zhuofan turned his mind around, and said, "Yes, I will ask for the guidance of the adult." ”

"The prince likes this just like me." Yu Chang raised the snuffbox in his hand and handed it over, "I'm not talking about cigarettes, I'm talking about pots, you see." ”

Guan Zhuofan took it carefully, and saw that it seemed to be a variegated agate fetus, with a thin neck and a big belly, and on the inner wall of the pot, a picture of landscape was drawn, and there were also a few small words "water falling out of stone". He didn't understand this, but seeing that Yuchang was solemn, he thought that it must be haode, so he couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful." ”

"In me, this is the most haode, in the prince's place, this is the lowest grade." Yu Chang said enviously, "The prince has shown me his collection, hundreds of them, all of them are extraordinary. The most haode one, with a whole piece of jadeite to take out, that water color, tsk, how to get tens of thousands of silver! ”

"This ......" Guan Zhuofan knew what Yu Chang meant, which was to ask him to send a snuffbox, and said in his heart, can this be called "not spending much"?

"Of course I don't want you to send such an expensive one. Sometimes, whether things are good or not is not all about the price. Yu Chang saw his doubts, took his snuff bottle, and wiped it on his lips again, "On Yujing Street, there is a shop that sells glass things, called Longchang." When you go to their shopkeeper, they say that I instructed you, and ask them if there are any new and interesting smoking bottles, and he will know. ”

The next day, Guan Zhuofan, who was suspicious, found this store called "Longchang" according to Yuchang's instructions. The store is not large, but the store is very spacious, full of all kinds of goods, and snuff bottles occupy more than half of it. Guan Zhuofan said in his heart, it seems that there are really a lot of dignitaries and nobles who like this way.

He found the shopkeeper and whispered his intentions, specifically stating that he wanted something "new and interesting". The shopkeeper looked him up and down, smiled mysteriously, and took out a long box from under the counter.

"This is a Western product, a set of four, a total of six hundred taels. Since it is the face of the town, it is counted as an old guest! Nine five buckles, Sheng Hui five hundred and seventy taels of silver. ”

Guan Zhuofan opened the box and saw four white snuff bottles in black flannel lattice. The material of the pot is okay, it is about ivory and the like, and the characters painted on the pot are really "novel and interesting".

Four blonde nude women in different postures are delicate and lifelike.

Guan Zhuofan was dumbfounded, thinking: Let me take these four bare-ass girls to see the prince?
