Chapter Eighty-Three: The Girl's Thoughts

All of Fang Yuan's requests were approved by Chongzhen, and he withdrew from the Fubi Pavilion.

Because the palace back garden was in the harem where the concubines gathered, Fang Yuan couldn't stay for a long time, so he could only be led out of the harem by Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen whispered, "Fang Yushi, the old slave thanked you on behalf of the noble concubine." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Princess, it is inconvenient for me to go to Yonghe Palace, you go and bring this good news to the noble concubine!" ”

As soon as the two walked through Jiangxuexuan, they saw Princess Kunxing walking over, today's Kunxing is wearing a wide-sleeved shirt with a round neck, dignified and bright. She didn't bring the palace maids and eunuchs with her, it seems that she was waiting for Fang Yuan here on purpose.

Fang Yuancai fell out with Queen Zhou in front of Chongzhen, and he really didn't want to have anything to do with this daughter of Queen Zhou, so he coughed and said, "Princess, you can stop it for me!" ”

Wang Chengen comprehended, and hurriedly stopped Princess Kunxing and said, "Princess! His Majesty strictly ordered you not to have private meetings or pester the Jinyi guards of the Qianqing Palace, so you can go back! Your Majesty sees that the old slave will be punished again! ”

Princess Kunxing took Wang Chengen's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Princess, I only say a few words, just a few words." ”

Wang Chengen watched this little princess grow up, and he still loved her very much in his heart, so Chong Fangyuan gave a helpless look.

Fang Yuan didn't want to reject a little girl in public and embarrass her, so he said, "Okay, if the princess has something to say, just say it!" ”

Princess Kunxing dragged Fang Yuan into Jiangxue Xuan, and when she saw that there was no one around, she stared at him with deep grievances on her pink face, "Fang Yuan, are you still angry with me?" I didn't mean to expose you to the harem, it was the queen mother who promised me not to spread the word, so I said it. ”

Fang Yuan is now in an important position, and his mind has already flown to Jiangnan, where does he have the heart to care about a little girl's temperament? Busy said, "I'm not angry with the princess, I forgot if the princess didn't mention it." ”

Princess Kunxing bit her pink crystal lips again, lowered her gaze and said, "And that day at your house, I shouldn't have lost my temper." ”

As a princess, she would condescend to apologize, which was beyond Fang Yuan's expectations, she was stunned, and said casually, "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, the proud daughter of the sky, and some tempers are normal, I have no power and powerless, and sometimes my temper is not small." ”

Princess Kunxing couldn't tell if he was angry, and said tentatively, "If you don't get angry, if you have fun things in the future, can you play with me again?" ”

Fang Yuan couldn't agree to this, not to mention what was there to play with her, a little princess who didn't know anything about the world?

Fang Yuan hurriedly said truthfully, "I'm going to Jiangnan in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the princess anymore." ”

"Ahh

Princess Kunxing said with a disappointed face, "Jiangnan is so far away, when will you return to the capital?" ”

Fang Yuan said casually, "Maybe in a few months!" ”

Princess Kunxing hesitated for a moment, took out the small sachet on her waist and handed it to Fang Yuan's hand.

Fang Yuan pinched the sachet in his hand that still carried the girl's fragrance and body temperature, and was slightly stunned, "Princess, what are you?" ”

Princess Kunxing's pink face showed a flush and said, "If you like it, take it, if you hate it, throw it away!" ”

She gave out the close-fitting sachet, which implicitly expressed the girl's thoughts, and she didn't dare to look at Fang Yuan again, turned around and left in a hurry.

Fang Yuan looked at her petite back and sighed secretly, this Princess Kunxing was still very exciting when she didn't commit princess illness, but she was Queen Zhou's daughter after all, so she better stay away!

He wanted to throw the sachet away, but after thinking about it, after all, it was Kunxing's intention, so he put it back in his arms.

Fang Yuan returned to the courtyard, Qin Zhan, Xiao Yuan, and the seventh sister-in-law were all there, and he announced in public that he had been promoted to the imperial history of the right capital, the appointment of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the task of getting up and going to Jiangnan within ten days.

Xiao Yuan was originally a woman from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and when she could return to the south of the Yangtze River again, she was naturally smiling and clapping her hands with joy.

Qin Zhan said happily, "Boss, you have been promoted again, it has only been half a year, and you are really on the rise!" ”

Fang Yuan patted him and said, "Fourth, I not only want to patrol the four mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, but also manage the military affairs of the new-style army, and it is estimated that the Jinyiwei will not be able to take care of it. When you arrive in Jiangnan, I will promote you to the rank of Jinyi Wei Baihu. ”

Qin Xian is still the general banner of Jinyiwei in name, but he fulfills the duties of Jinyiwei Qianhu, which was a luxury that he didn't dare to think of half a year ago, but following Fang Yuan has become a reality, and he hurriedly said, "I just said that with the boss, power, money, and women will all have it." Boss, how long will we delay going to Jiangnan this time? ”

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Fourth, we have a heavy responsibility to go to Jiangnan this time, and it is far away to return to the capital, you have to be ready to settle down in Jiangnan." ”

Jiangnan is a gentle township that I don't want to leave when I go, Qin Zhan said happily, "So, I even want to take my wife and a few girls in the family with me?" ”

Fang Yuan nodded, and said to the seventh sister-in-law, "Seventh sister-in-law, let's also prepare to move!" Only silver and important things were brought with them, and the rest went to Jiangnan to buy them again. ”

The seventh sister-in-law has never left the capital in her life, and muttered, "Okay, then I will lend this courtyard house to Zhang Erlang from my hometown to live in first." ”

Fang Yuan also let her go, anyway, even if she returned to the capital, she would not return to this small courtyard.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days to spare, Fang Yuan went to find Tang Ruowang who was in Qin Tianjian and told him straight to the point that he hoped to go to Jiangnan with him.

Tang Ruowang was stunned and said, "I am observing the celestial phenomena in Qintianjian, studying the calendar, what are I doing in Jiangnan?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and took out a hand-drawn version of the world map of the Ming Dynasty that he bought from his arms on the Taobao system, this map is 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, including the Ming Dynasty, every big and small country in the world that can be named, seven continents, four oceans, and various ports are clear and clear at a glance.

He spread out the map and handed it to John Tang, "Master Tang, if we go to Nanjing, we can still study astronomy and calendar, and we can also study and study maritime geography!" Ha! ”

Tang Ruowang looked at the map in front of him incredulously, although there was a simple map of the world map in this period, but compared to Fang Yuan's delicate map, it was a world of difference.

Tang Ruowang couldn't put it down, lay on the ground, observed for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Lord Fang can draw such a beautiful map, it's really heavenly!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "If Lord Tang is willing to take some Francophone people who are skilled in artillery casting technology and metallurgical technology to Jiangnan to train talents in the field of artillery and metallurgy for me, this map will be given to Lord Tang." ”

John Tang regarded this map as a treasure, and without thinking about it, he said, "Willing, willing, Your Majesty agreed?" ”

Fang Yuan said, "Your Majesty has agreed, and you will leave in ten days." ”

John Tang nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay." ”

Fang Yuan persuaded John Tang in just a few words, and went to the Francophone Chamber of Commerce with him to complete the last transaction of perfume and arms trading.

Blanc of the Franco Chamber of Commerce took Fang Yuan's perfume back to the West to sell it this time, and it was really a hot sale, whether it was kings, queens, princesses, barons, and lords and ladies of various countries, they all came to the door, and they were sold out in less than ten days, and a bottle was sold for a sky-high price of one hundred taels of silver, which was a big profit.

He hurried and hurried to the Ming Dynasty on a multi-masted clipper with the highest speed, and found Fang Yuan to continue to negotiate the next deal of perfume and firearms.

Fang Yuan's new army had expanded to 1,000 men, and the number of thunderbolts needed had also increased exponentially, and in addition to the battlefield attrition, he ordered another 800 thunderbolts from Blank.

Now that he had obtained Chongzhen's approval to buy and sell Hongyi cannons, he ordered 8 Hongyi cannons and 80 medium cannons. Among them, 3 Hongyi cannons and 30 small cannons were sent to Shaanxi for the King of Qin to pile cannons on the city wall. There are also 5 Hongyi cannons, and 50 medium artillery pieces that Fang Yuan brought to Jiangnan.

The total amount of this arms deal is too large, and the Franc Chamber of Commerce is not only trading with the Ming Dynasty, but also with the Manchu, Wa, Luzon, and Mughal empires, and it normally takes at least one to two years to complete the deal.

However, Fang Yuan did not raise the price of perfumes, so that Blank's Chamber of Commerce had a huge profit to make from it, so he promised that the Franc Machine Chamber of Commerce would transport the arms to the Far East, all of which would be given priority to meet the needs of Fang Yuan's order, and it was expected that it could be completed within half a year.
