Chapter 269: Family Affairs

Rao is Jiang Feng had already made up his mind to build this ship no matter how much money he spent, when he heard this figure of more than 120,000 taels, he was still frightened and almost fell off the chair. I thought what this is, now my reserves are only about 400,000 taels, and these more than 400,000 taels of silver also include those silver bricks obtained from the Dong family.

Among the leaders of the Dengzhou camp, even a big housekeeper like Zhao Xiucai, who is in charge of money, doesn't know how much silver Jiang Feng has in his hands, this is also where Jiang Feng is careful to beware, after all, a large amount of money is easy to make people think, in modern times, the classmates and friends around him, some fathers, sons and brothers can turn against each other for money, not to mention such an armed group now.

Liu Twelve was also surprised when he heard this number on the side, he was equivalent to Jiang Feng's role as the secretary general on weekdays, and he didn't care as much about money as Zhao Xiucai, but those armed merchant ships, improved lucky ships, and the amount of money spent on each ship were already surprising to him.

But no one thought that the price of this so-called big ship was so amazing, 125,000 taels, what kind of number is this, you ask Jining Mansion, the richest in Shandong, if there are 100,000 taels of taxes collected in a year, and then he said with some hesitation:

"My lord, if this money is used for the training of soldiers and horses, 10,000 strong troops can be obtained in a year, why spend it on the sea, not a student, I say more, if our fleet in Dengzhou is hard to fight with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be able to win, but it is not so easy to lose, and it is ......enough to have such a strength."

Organizing soldiers and horses, saying such words as the Daming Sailor is already a complicity, so Liu Twelve's voice is already quite low, but now there is a tent man here, and Liu Twelve, who has always been steady, actually said such words, which shows that he feels very incomprehensible that the 120,000 taels of silver are used in shipbuilding.

Jiang Feng pondered there for a while, returned the list to the bookkeeper, and said categorically:

"Tell Mr. Zhao that I will give him the money here."

After the bookkeeper retreated, Jiang Feng rubbed his forehead with his hand and said to Liu Twelve over there:

"There must be our own forces at sea, and it is better to have absolute superiority, you don't always have your eyes on land, the sea is even bigger."

In the evening, Jiang Feng and Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters had dinner together, I don't know when it started, the little girl Su Guanxue, oh, now to be precise, it is not a little girl, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, if a girl reaches the age of fourteen, the family can consider marrying him.

And to start paying attention to etiquette, for example, there is a difference between men and women, etiquette and other things, according to the rules at this time, the meeting between Jiang Feng and Su Guanxue is already out of etiquette.

But no one deliberately said this, fourteen-year-old Su Guanxue is slim and bright, and follows her sister Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui's sister every day to learn poetry and female celebrity together. Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue sent it not to stop the closeness of Su Guanxue and Jiang Feng, of course, now this girl will not be the same as before, when she sees Jiang Feng, she will throw herself into his arms and be coquettish.

For people in this era, the relationship between the two of them is still too close, and the two girls in Jiang Feng's inner house don't have any opinions on this, and all those who know about this matter are tacitly aware of it and take it for granted. Jiang Feng's level, and officials with such large financial resources, who are of the same grade as him, are very particular about what kind of diet and behavior.

When Jiang Feng's family was eating, they didn't say anything like that at all, Jiang Feng liked to evaluate how well the chef cooked today, how the taste was, how the taste was improved, and so on. Although Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue are both from large families, they are a teenager who has broken their families, and the other has worked hard since he was a child.

I still understand such a thing as cooking, and a few people still have some arguments on this, although the final result is often what Jiang Feng said, and he cooks to clean up a few delicious dishes, and these delicacies are often eaten by a few girls with eyebrows and smiles.

Now Jiang Feng's affairs in front of him are busy, the time to stay at home is getting less and less, and the time with his family is gradually decreasing, although Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue are both just twenty years old, but they grew up in the family of the official eunuch, and they are not a pampered eldest lady, and they also understand Jiang Feng's busyness, after all, their own men are not amorous outside, but really do some business.

But although the youngest Su Guanxue has grown up a lot quieter, she is not as lively and naughty as she was three years ago, but after Jiang Feng came back, she was always tired of Jiang Feng's side. In this regard, Jiang Feng, who was already in a coarse mood, didn't feel anything at all, but Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui often showed a smile that seemed to have a deep meaning, and Su Guanxue, who saw this smile, was often shy and flushed.

The same is true for today's family banquet, Jiang Feng made a stir-fried snail slice and a steamed sea fish in the kitchen, there is no pollution in this era, the taste of seafood is naturally delicious, and Jiang Feng's professional craftsmanship is naturally the icing on the cake.

Jiang Feng rarely participates in the family banquet now, because his time is in the Dengzhou camp, and the affairs of smuggling and smuggling salt at sea have already taken up a lot of his time. Jiang Feng's participation and delicious dishes made the atmosphere of this simple family meal very high.

Liu Fangrui over there received a letter from Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Zhejiang, to him, but after reading the letter, she was quite unhappy there, and she didn't wait for Jiang Feng to hear the news, she herself said there, and said with some indignation:

"After my father continued the string, he also married two concubines, and now it's good, he is actually going to marry the fourth room."

Jiang Feng laughed secretly when he heard it, Liu Shunhua's official reputation in Zhejiang is quite good in Zhejiang, firstly, Zhejiang and Nanzhili's large-scale and famous fleets and private lords are more or less trying to sell Jiang Feng's face, and now the fleet of the Dengzhou battalion is not trivial.

If you don't know what to do, nearly 20 gunboats will surround you, and no one will be able to stand this matter, so it is better to settle down on the territory of Jiang Laohu's father-in-law, as for those scattered Japanese robbers, although the people of Zhejiang are now unable to take the initiative to attack, but they are more than enough to protect themselves.

The ground is too peaceful, Zhejiang, the richest place in the world, naturally gradually exudes his vitality, originally leveled Liu Shunhua came to Zhejiang to let this person eat some local grievances in Zhejiang, and the uncleared charges will naturally make this rocket promoted Hanlin bachelor unlucky, but I didn't expect that Liu Shunhua would make a name for himself now.

Liu Shunhua has been in pursuit of things like enjoyment since everything has been stable, and there is nothing wrong with this matter, the low-level officials in the Hanlin Academy were naturally poor, and although they were promoted later, they were generally involved with lawless characters like Jiang Feng.

Thinking about a person who has been suffering for so many years, and he is about to be fifty years old, it is understandable to grasp the pleasure, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought of this, Liu Fangrui over there was originally very dissatisfied in his heart, but when he saw Jiang Feng smiling there, he suddenly had a rude temper.

There he shouted coquettishly:

"You have me and Guanyue, do you still have any crooked thoughts, surnamed Jiang, you listen to me, you are not allowed to marry more."

The sister Su Guanyue on the side has always had a gentle personality, and when she heard Liu Fangrui being coquettish there, she couldn't help but smile there, but when her sister Su Guanxue heard the sentence "Don't marry more", her face changed suddenly, but Liu Fangrui over there felt that she had said the wrong thing, and said with a smile there:

"But it's okay to marry one more, and it's good to fill in a sister for us, don't you say, Xiaoxue?"

Hearing these words, Su Guanxue was relieved, and when she heard the sentence asked by Liu Fangrui in the back, she was immediately ashamed, blushing and running out.

Jiang Feng also saw some doorways, laughed a few times there, and didn't express any opinions, just took chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Liu Fangrui, who was laughing there, which was considered to be a gag for her, but in her heart she thought of Andrea she met during the day, and thought that it was better to hide these things first.

The next morning, Jiang Feng had already dealt with the affairs of the Dengzhou camp recently, and now the problem should be to deal with the silver money arrangement after the construction of that ship began, and he would definitely not just build such a ship, as for the silver money arrangement.

Zhao Xiucai is only the routine of money and accounting, the real general ledger and core are still here in Su Guanyue, this girl is Jiang Feng's most trusted after all, and she has nothing to rely on except Jiang Feng now, Zhao Xiucai's account clerk has already sent the specific details of the battleship to the mansion, Su Guanyue is there nervous accounting, Jiang Feng sat on the side and accompanied, and Su Guanxue had a wordless chat.

No one expected that this time the work had been done for two days, and two days later, Su Guanyue, whose eyes were red, said to Jiang Feng quite affirmatively:

"Xianggong, when you build a ship for the first time, there are a lot of things that must be purchased, and there are some wastes and attempts in it, if it is time to build a second or third ship, it should be able to do about 80,000 taels.!"
