At the end of the Datong Conference, Fengzhou immediately announced: Chen Qiyu and Zhang Pengyun are the senators of the Presidential Palace, Zhang Daojun is the commander of Shanxi Xingtai, Li Huai is the premier of Xingtai, Guo Linsheng is the chief judge of the circuit legal department, Yang Tingfang is the acting prefect of Datong, Cai Ruxun is the acting prefect of Xuanhua, and the officials will take office immediately - Fengzhou people and Shanxi people have their own gains, and the towns of Xuanda are completely eaten into their stomachs, and the unlucky ones are only the imperial court, Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Xuanda, asked for sick leave to go home, Liu Menggui, the governor of Datong, died in office, and the governor of Shanxi and Xuanfu left. The local power was eroded away in the blink of an eye, and the gentry from all over the country had the power in their hands, and it was difficult to get them to spit it out.

Naturalization, the Li family came to the mother and son, the atmosphere was tense for a while, Wulan and Wu Langha had heard of the second girl, but after all, it was a very distant thing to care, and now the second girl really entered the Li family, and brought Li Yu's son, the two of them immediately felt uncomfortable, and ignored it with a straight face. The most uncomfortable thing is Su Tai, who went to Jinlianchuan in a fit of anger, and the Qingguo business that was originally in charge of her was no longer done, and the two sisters Wulan and Wu Langha saw that the business was declining all the way, and accused Erniu of coming to Li's house to make trouble and eat idle meals, and Erniu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she immediately ridiculed each other, and the two sides quarreled for three days. Li Yu's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law came to persuade them, but the three barbarian women and daughters-in-law became more and more noisy, and finally the Lama Qierji was also alarmed.

"Since you are the Gege of the Qing Kingdom, Su Tai's mess will be handed over to you, if you can't do it well, you can have a meal at our house." Wu Langha was most afraid of the Erji Lama, and released soft words with a little sarcasm.

Just do it, who is afraid of whom, the second girl doesn't know a few big words, but all sides are colorful, careful calculation, born to be a piece of business material, a winter of kung fu, not only orderly preparation of goods, but also the following guys rotation training, explain clearly where the goods should be sold, what relationship to sell, how to negotiate the price, and even to whom to bribe, how to bribe, how much to bribe, after the beginning of the spring to send the guys on the road, their own naturalization and wait for the good news of all parties.

Talents, Wulan and Wu Langha couldn't help but be impressed by Erniu, and their faces immediately looked good, but Erniu didn't care, and threatened to just step on the road this year, and next year they would sell Fengzhou's bonds and stocks to the Qing Dynasty. The Li family is happy again, and the sisters often regret that Su Tai is gone, otherwise they just get together to play the sparrow card - Li Yu doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, and marrying three wives is all a wealth fan.

The second girl is fine, Li Jin has become a headache for the Li family again, this long-awaited heir, who is extremely smart but not doing his job, has been sued by people since the beginning of spring.

Liu Zhilun told the Li family that Li Jin was too naughty, he didn't study well, and he brought other children badly, this child couldn't be taught, and he shed tears when he said - after the defeat of the Ming army Songjin, he and Liu Zongzhou and Sun Qifeng seemed to have changed, and they ignored all the affairs of the court, and they focused on catching the children of the Li family to study, Liu Zongzhou also rejected Zhou Yanru's invitation to ask him to return to the court to be an official. As long as he is there, Li Meng must pretend to be stupid, Liu Chengzu and the newcomer Li Liao must sing and harmonize, Li Qin is more honest, but other children have to make trouble, Li Jin has recently taken the lead in skipping class, and other children are also learning, Li Qin is often the only one in the classroom, how can these children teach!

Mei Dai summoned the lama to complain, the little living Buddha did not study the Buddhist scriptures seriously, but was instigated by Li Jin to fall in love with the locksmith work, a month to go to naturalization to find Li Jin, and every time I went to Zhun Bao to forget the scriptures I had just learned, the locksmith's skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and often take them to practice their craft, so that the big and small lamas were locked in the house and had to slam the door out, the lamas can't help but ask, does the president want a living Buddha, or do you want a locksmith?

Su He of Baita Village also came to complain, Li Jin went to the village to claim to refine the treasure, find someone to build a stove, and also installed a bellows, and burned sand every three or five times, is this just nonsense, the baby did not see but burned the thatched house where the president lived - Li Yu's household registration has always been in the fifth thousandth household and the hundredth household, that is, the hundred households of Baita Village, the people in the village are proud of him, and have been carefully taking care of the land he has planted and the broken houses he has lived, but he did not expect his son to be ruined, and the villagers are very unhappy.

The most strange thing is that Shi Lao Liu also came to sue, Li Jin learned a hot air balloon thing from Deng Ruoshui, and it was done, Li Jin, Li Meng and Zhao Ji's son Zhao Bao climbed into the gondola and set fire to the air, it was so dangerous, flew a few feet high and planted down, Li Jin and Li Meng were agile and only suffered a little flesh injury, but Zhao Bao broke his arm - Zhao Ji married three wives and gave birth to five daughters to have Zhao Bao's only seedling, usually regarded as a treasure, Shi Lao Liu's wife is Zhao Ji's eldest daughter, when Zhao Ji is not at home, the Zhao family is his care, The brother-in-law has a big incident, and maybe the father-in-law will beat him up when he comes back from Datong.

The Li family and the Zhao family are friends of life and death, Shi Laoliu is not only Zhao Ji's son-in-law, he also has a sister who is married to Wang Ershun of the Li family.

"What, what balloons are worth a lot of money, just with this fine sheepskin and sewing craftsmanship, you can't get it without two hundred taels of silver, Zhuo Liktu, you honestly, where did the money come from?" Wu Langha felt strange when he touched the balloon, the children of the Li family have money, but at most three or five taels of silver bills, they definitely can't afford this thing, but Li Jin refused to say, and was frightened by Wulan Lian, so he pointed at Shi Lao Liu, Wu Langha immediately came to his senses, "Okay, Shi Lao Liu, Zhao Bao has a share of the accident, and I will tell him when the grass flies back." ”

"I'm giving money, but hot air balloons are really none of my business." Shi Laoliu's face turned white with fright, as if the iron fist of the old man was about to smash down.

Under the questioning of Wulan and Wu Langha, the matter quickly became clear, Shi Laoliu did give Li Jin money - the two partnered to make a flint haircracker, applied for a patent to the Industrial Construction Division in the name of Shi Laoliu, and sold it to the Li family's Xuande Iron Works for two thousand taels of silver, and got half of the money, and also made an appointment to join hands to make clocks and watches, and burn glass. I really don't know about hot air balloons.

"Shi Lao Liu, you still have to be shameless, more than forty people still lie to our children to do things, Zhuo Liktu wants to study in the future, don't come to him." Ulan shouted angrily.

"What about my watch workshop? If you leave the second son, you have to close the door. "Shi Lao Liu is in a hurry, only the Li family has a Taixi table clock in Fengzhou, and only Li Jin dares to dismantle the clock as a toy to play, he doesn't come forward to guide, and others can't get it out if they want to break their heads.

"As for the clock, you don't dare to let our family Zhuo Liktu suffer, but you are not allowed to touch the glass again." The second girl spoke suddenly, and at the same time quietly glanced at Wulan and Wu Langha.

Shi Lao Liu breathed a sigh of relief and walked away in a gloomy manner, Ulan was just about to get angry, and the second girl smiled and took out a small cloth bag, and poured out a bunch of small things of different colors and shining from it.

"I went to Baita Village a few days ago to see what was going on with the sand burning, but I picked up these things in the waste residue, two sisters, our Li family is going to make a fortune." Erniu said mysteriously, and Wulan and Wu Langha's eyes suddenly lit up.

The three wealth fans surrounded Li Jin and muttered, happy as if he had picked up a big ingot, and Wulan suddenly remembered the matter: "Of course making money is a good thing, but what if our Li family's children don't like to study?" ”

"Let the child be in charge of his father!" Wu Langha and Erniu replied in unison.

The child's father is coming back from Datong, by the way to Baita Village to see the villagers, just arrived at the entrance of the village was surrounded by a group, the village of 100 households Su He asked very seriously, are you going to Datong to be the emperor? Li Yuleng paused for a moment and told everyone categorically that he was a military household in the 5,000th household of the Naturalization Prefecture, and he would never be the emperor, and his family would never leave Naturalization - the villagers were relieved, the president was still a person from Baita Village, and he would never abandon them.

Li Yu lived in Baita Village for two days before returning home, the three wives in the main hall were playing sparrow cards with Ma's sister-in-law, Liu Naren and Yang Wan were with her as usual, and Wang Pu's concubine Wang Xiaoliu was still in Datong, otherwise she would definitely be the one on the tablet. The women suddenly found that Li Yu walked in, and immediately cleaned up the card table and said goodbye, but Li Yu's eyes lit up, these women are all rich women, at least with a net worth of 100,000, they changed their smiling faces and beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said softly: "Sisters-in-law, have you heard of the university?" Oh, I don't know, so I'll talk about the benefits. ”

Li Yu blew the university to the sky, the women present were all human spirits, and immediately heard the intention, Sister-in-law Ma asked timidly: "It costs a lot of money to run a university, is 10,000 taels enough?" ”

"What, if you want to run a university for 10,000 taels, you need at least 100,000 taels!" Li Yu immediately waved his hand, the women lowered their heads and didn't say anything, Li Yu said that he didn't respond for most of the day, and stood up in disappointment, "Forget it, you don't understand the benefits of the university, I'd better go find someone else." ”

Li Yu slipped into the backyard, and asked someone to find his four children plus one Liu Chengzu, he heard about what these children did, no matter how they were taught, they definitely couldn't do it, so they ordered the five children to stand in front of them, and then began to lecture, but the children of the Li family are used to being open-minded, and their lawless character is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and they may not take Lao Tzu's words to heart.

"I think when Lao Tzu was studying with your master in Shenyang, oh, ......when I was studying in Beijing, don't laugh, don't learn from me, forget it, don't mention it, tell me, what do you want to do in the future?" Li Yu screamed for a while, but the children were amused, and he felt bored, and the Li family really couldn't seem to be a reader.

"Riding horses, raising hunting dogs, and I also want to learn how to play the piano from Father Deng." The most favored lark replied as a matter of course.

"Daddy, I doze off when I read like you, so send me to the Wuxuan Academy." Li Meng said.

"Daddy, I want to read!" Li Qin raised his hand and shouted.

Finally sensible, Li Yu said happily: "Good boy, there is a good interest, and I will give more money next month." ”

"Then I'm going to read too." Li Liao immediately shouted.

Li Yu patted Li Liao's little face, turned his face and asked Li Jin: "The people of Fengzhou want me to pass on the great cause to you, but what will you do if you don't study?" You can't be seen as a captive like me. ”

Li Jin raised his head and replied: "Daddy, it's not that I don't want to study, it's that the book is unreasonable, I don't want to be like you, Father Deng showed me the "Outer Discipline of the Staff", the world is very big, there are Asia, Europa, Amerika and Leviia, I want to see it in the distance." ”

"I'm going too! Also take Zhanabazar with you. Liu Chengzu exclaimed excitedly, and he couldn't forget to bring his good friend, the little living Buddha, with him.

Li Yu was stunned for a while, and waved his hand to let the children retreat - the children have grown up and have their own ambitions, as long as there is no tragedy of fighting for power and profit, let them go.

There is a division of labor in the center of Fengzhou, and the Prime Minister's Office, the Dafa Division, and the Council have jurisdiction over the internal affairs of the Datong Federation, and they are currently moving to Datong, while the Presidential Office is in charge of the military affairs of the Datong Federation, the decision-making power of internal affairs, and also has to coordinate the internal relations of the Naturalization Alliance. The bigger the territory, the more headaches there are, and the officials of the presidential palace feel more pressure, and since Li Yu has returned, he consciously got together to discuss the current priorities.

On the Chahar side, Kongol was embraced as the commander of Chahar, and the deputy commander of Lao Tuba Ganju, they put forward a plan to form a Chahar Association, and built the middle camp of Deshenzhuang in addition to the left and right battalions of Darhan and Martyr's Rites, and the presidential palace believed that with the strategic direction of the Fengzhou Army moving south, it was indeed necessary to strengthen the eastern forces, and agreed to their request, and sent Ma Shizhong to serve as the military affairs of the Chahar Commander's Office.

On the Khalkha side, Subutai contacted young nobles to launch a mutiny in early March, putting under house arrest Chechen Khan Shuolei, Tushetu Khan Gunbu and Zasaktu Khan Subadi, who were meeting in the Khalkha River, and put forward the request to reform the old system and join the Datong Federation. It is proposed to build a straight road connecting the north and south of Khalkha from the Sanbula River, and first solve the problem of poor trade routes.

"Ittak has vision, and there are some things that can't be rushed, so report to the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce and ask them to handle it as appropriate." Li Yu interjected.

Namur smiled bitterly: "Some people joke that the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce is the second prime minister's office, but I think they are sometimes more powerful than the prime minister's office." ”

"Power is not necessarily a good thing, we must be willing to give up power, and let experts do bad things, we will not suffer!" Li Yu waved his hand and motioned for Malik to continue.

In Tibet, Tulu Baihu led the Shuote army into Tibet and fought successively, at the beginning of the year to capture the Tibetan Khan's nest Shigatse, the Red Sect forces are just around the corner, the Yellow Sect is completed, and immediately ask for the land of Tibet, Tulu Baihu is of course not happy, and the fourth ** Lama and the fifth ** Lama turned their faces into enmity, and the two sides are clamoring to go to naturalization to fight a lawsuit.

In the Western Regions, Batur received the assistance of Fengzhou and repeatedly fought with the Rakshasa ghosts, fighting for every inch of land, and the two guards of Hami and Turu also sent people who dared to die deep into each other's territory to carry out a-for-tat retaliation, the cruel and bloody tug-of-war made the Rakshasa country unable to withstand attrition, and was forced to stop going south and develop eastward, the Kyrgyz and Kazakhs saw the wind and made the rudder surrender to Dzungaria again, the external situation in the Western Regions improved, but the internal variables arose, the Dzungars destroyed the Yarkand Khanate, but they were unable to control a large area of land and population, The leader of the Heshute people south of the Tianshan Mountains, Eziertu, is the son of Tulubaihu's eldest brother, and Batur has always been at odds, and has the idea of taking advantage of the chaos, and Hamiwei and Turu Domain's guards have successively recruited tens of thousands of Yarkands, and Ma Qi got cheap and especially insufficient, and hit it off with Eziertu, and joined forces to seize Aksu and Kashgar, Batur was very angry, and wrote a letter asking the presidential palace whether he intended to abandon Dzungaria?

Li Yu felt a little headache, closed his eyes and thought about it, and Jin Sheng said in a low voice: "Han Min, this may not be a good thing, with a small cure for the big is a fetter policy, the Rakshasa country is just a problem of scabies, and the Heshute in Tibet and the Junggar in the Western Regions are too strong, and they must not be made dominant!" ”

"The Rakshasa country has traveled thousands of miles to plunder the land by slaughtering and exterminating the clan, and its greed and tyranny can be seen, and it is by no means a problem of scabies," Li Yu opened his eyes, waved his hand and said to everyone, "Batur dares to resist the Rakshasa country is a great hero, I keep my promise, the commander of the Western Regions is none other than him, send letters to the leaders and great lamas of the Western Regions, Tibetan areas, and Khalkhas, and ask them to come to naturalization, and we will solve the problems face to face." ”

Li Yu stood up and paced back and forth, scolding March for being insatiable and causing trouble, and only waved his hand after a while to continue the meeting.

Baoshun, the governor of Titang, reported on the battle situation in western Liaoning, Yang Shenwu, the governor of Shanyong, and Fan Zhiwan, the right attendant of the military department, went out of the customs to supervise Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen and other defeated generals to relieve the siege of Songshan, but the pretext of the towns failed to make the trip, and the Ming army of Songshan was hopeless for help, and surrendered to the Qing army on February 18, Hong Chengchou and Zu Dale were captured and sent to Shengjing, and the other circumstances were unknown, and the naturalization received the battle report late, and it is estimated that Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Tashan were also more auspicious.

"The news that has just been delivered by Jingshi Titang is that Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan, dedicated the city, and Zu Dashou of Jinzhou also surrendered on the eighth day of the first month of March, and the captured must not only be Hong Chengchou and Zu Dale, but it doesn't matter, we have greeted the Qing army, there are our friends in the Ming army, one is not allowed to kill, and we have to eat and drink well to send back, their people are in our hands, and we dare not agree." Zhang Shi'an, the governor of the Titang Division, added, and everyone laughed, more than 100 Mongolian princes and nobles arrested last year are being brainwashed in the temple of naturalized lamas.

"Write a letter to Qingguo again, Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao are friends of Fengzhou, and if you want to send them back with a single hair, I will be very grateful," Li Yu also smiled and continued to ask: "I have a reply to the imperial court to protect Wang Pu?" ”
