Chapter 105: Hou Junji's provocation
To put it mildly, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the two brothers staged a dispute between peddlers and pawns, and finally sold the deal at the price of 30 dumps of land.
One is 100 acres, 30 is 3,000 acres, in the Chang'an area, there is not such a large area of cultivated land to Li Yuanji, and the land that is connected together in these years is more valuable than the scattered land.
"Tsk, it costs hundreds of yuan, but in exchange for thirty tilts of cultivated land, this deal is quite cost-effective, like your style of King Qi." The crowd dispersed, and then each had their own busy work, leaving two idlers, Yu Chi Jingde and Li Yuanji, who continued to sit in the main hall, and Yu Chi Jingde sighed helplessly.
The brothers were born and died, fought so many battles, and never heard of a general who could be rewarded with thirty acres of arable land at one time.
"A good deal?" Li Yuanji showed a disdainful expression and continued: "This is also the imperial court, if it is someone else, do you think this king will agree?" The king has invested real money, and there is so much energy and manpower, and if he can't get cash, it means a short-term loss, and although the court has taken out thirty tilts of land, the most important thing for the court is land, and arable land is the most worthless thing in the hands of the court. ”
"You're bankrupt? Two months ago, maybe I would have believed what you said. Wei Chi Jingde sneered.
Unconsciously, King Qi has quietly recovered his previous value.
There are a total of 12 shareholders in the cement workshop, and Li Yuanji sold 50% and a half of the shares, and these 50% and a half of the shares brought him a net income of 55,000 yuan, although only about 30,000 yuan was received, but the rest of the money will be returned sooner or later.
Although a lot of money has been invested in the construction of Taipingfang, Li Yuanji should have at least more than 10,000 yuan in savings.
Besides, there is also the cash cow of Qianzhuang, if it is said that anyone in this world has no money, but Li Yuanji has no money, Wei Chi Jingde is a hundred unbelievers.
"Okay, what do you say, this king is sleepy, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" yawned, covered his mouth and walked towards the backyard, secretly wondering if Yu'er's girl had slept?
With the idea that I was just going to take a look, Li Yuanji walked towards Yu'er's house seriously.
At this time, it was already late at night, a small court meeting, which had been delayed for almost an hour and a half, Yu'er sat on the stool, a pair of small hands supported between the table and her chin, her head kept shaking up and down, and her small eyes were already empty.
Fortunately, there is heating in the house, otherwise Yu'er, this girl would have to freeze, Li Yuanji sighed secretly, immediately shook his head, and muttered to himself: "Carry her to the bed and leave, it's not early." ”
Then, naturally, a big war was inevitable......
In the early morning of the next day, when Li Yuanji opened his eyes, he was the only one left on the bed, Yu'er didn't know where to run, heard the movement, and the two maids in charge of living quickly entered to help him dress and freshen up, and the life was very uncomfortable.
Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji came earlier than they imagined, and as soon as they got up, the two of them were waiting for them in the main hall, as half of the masters, Wei Chi Jingde wanted to accompany them.
He stuffed a few mouthfuls of cooking cakes into his mouth, and hurried to the main hall with this warm water.
I don't know if the main hall is still used for interviews? Just the two of you occupy such a big temple? Do you think you're a good guy?
"I am ordered by Your Majesty to come and train the new army with Your Highness, this is the roster of soldiers in Chang'an City." Hou Junji glanced at it coldly, put on a roster, and said in a cold tone.
"What Your Majesty said yesterday is to assist His Highness in training the new army, General Zuo Wei should not confuse the concept!" Cheng Zhijie, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's the difference? General of the Right Guard! Hou Junji's hateful teeth itched, and he said sarcastically towards Cheng Zhijie, which even aggravated the tone of the words General Youwuwei.
There is no title on his body, this is a serious illness in Hou Junji's heart at the moment, especially when he is with other princes, the more dissatisfied Hou Junji will feel, everyone is a general, and they have all made great contributions, why are they princes, and I am nothing?
Therefore, whenever Li Shimin is not present, it is better not to mention the official position, otherwise Hou Junji will often get into trouble with others.
Cheng Zhijie is just a kind reminder, but in Hou Junji's view, Cheng Zhijie is showing off like himself, showing off Chiguoguo.
"Okay, you two don't quarrel, there's some anger coming to those bunnies." Seeing that the scene was getting more and more intense, Wei Chi Jingde had to stand up and act as a peacemaker.
"Hmph......" Hou Junji snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.
Cheng Zhijie continued to close his eyes, with a posture that the sky had nothing to do with the old man.
However, this scene aroused Wei Chi Jingde's doubts, what happened to this old horseman? Why did you behave so unusually today? Isn't that too quiet?
"Soldiers are not just drawn up on the roster, it is the case now, and it will be the same in the future." Li Yuanji didn't care about the bickering of the two people, but in his heart, he gave Hou Junji a cross, this product was clearly aimed at himself, and he didn't put himself as the king of Qi in his eyes at all, and he wanted to take the initiative as soon as he came up.
But......
So what? Do you want this king to live in the barracks with you every day? What are you kidding? Is this king the kind of person who is willing to share the weal and woe with the soldiers? Trouble thinking about it with your head, can you?
"This is the first step in training the new army, ordering troops, this king has made a request, and the two of you will be responsible for the specifics." After a slight pause, he saw that Cheng Zhijie had opened his eyes and listened carefully, while Hou Junji had an absent-minded expression.
"The first thing that needs to be done is to select soldiers who are good at riding and archery and have strong arms. The second, investigate their family history, count the direct relatives up to three generations, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and remove those who have family relatives, and the rest will be selected from the best, and you can get together enough manpower. ”
"Don't you want three generations of close relatives from your ancestors?" Cheng Zhijie was secretly surprised, this matter is not very easy to do, there are too many cousins and sisters who have married in recent years, especially those nobles, in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, often only choose clan relatives to marry, or intermarry with other nobles, but the circle is so big, and it has developed to this day, it is an intermarriage between nobles and nobles, counting up to three generations, most of them also have clan relations.
"This king checked the test data all night last night, and found the same reason from hundreds of people who have not seen obvious changes, so this king suspects that it may be genetic factors, and this new army training also undertakes this part of the test task." It's a serious nonsense, anyway, it's just to give a reason, everything is based on experiments, and you can do it yourself.
Wei Chi Jingde secretly covered his mouth on the side, you almost demolished the roof last night, it's okay to deceive those little hairy children who have not been in the world, and you want to deceive the old man?
However, when he thought of King Qi's combat power and Yu'er's roar, Yu Chi Jingde couldn't help but blush, and secretly wondered when he would be able to go home?
Wei Chi Jingde's performance naturally failed to escape the poisonous eyes of Cheng Zhijie, and he knew it in his heart, and he didn't say it thoroughly: "Obey Your Highness's order!" ”
Hou Junji didn't take any action, he still sat there in a daze, feeling the comfort brought by the heating, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a while: "Your Highness might as well send some people to the old man's mansion to renovate it by the way." ”
