"Your Majesty, twenty days ago, the Khalkha tribes of northern Mongolia sent troops to attack western Mongolia, and after the Oirat Mongols suffered losses at the beginning, Ozirtu Khan personally led the army and defeated the invading enemy! A lot of cattle and sheep have been seized, and a messenger has been sent over, wanting to exchange the cattle and sheep for some more militaristic weapons! ”

After reading this private chat, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh, it seems that this Ozirtu has not been treated in vain in Beijing, at least the study in the Beijing camp is still useful. Hehe, if you want to exchange flintlock pistols, then come and exchange them, the more profitable the better!

Thinking so, he replied to Yang Sichang's side and said: "It's no problem to change the heavy weapons of the military state, but the Qing side still needs to keep an eye on the Oirat Mongolia, after all, Gushi Khan has taken away a large number of elites, and it is difficult to say what the follow-up war will be." ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, as far as the minister knows, the main force of the Khalkha Mongol tribes has not been damaged. The war in the grassland, easy to defeat, difficult to annihilate! The minister is paying attention to the follow-up military situation. ”

Seeing this reply, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, now, the cavalry army in the Hetao area to fight in Liaodong, Hong Chengchou only led back a part, at least seven or eight thousand cavalry troops are still in Liaodong, although the number is large, but Liaodong is too big, scattered in various places, in fact, there are not many, they also need to assist in clearing the Manchu remnants and some bandits and bullies hiding in various places, and even some of them have to enter the dynasty to clean up, and they can't go back in a short time.

Therefore, for the time being, the Ming Dynasty could not intervene on a large scale in the western and northern Mongolia, and it would be best if the Mongolian tribes of these two tribes could stalemate. Oh, by the way, there are still not enough Han people in the Hetao area, and the disasters in Qin and Jin in the past two years are estimated to continue, just continue to migrate people to the Hetao, and vigorously develop the Hetao Plain.

If in the original history, the thieves had already rushed into the Central Plains, and it happened that the natural disasters in the Central Plains region also began to appear, as a result, as soon as this man-made disaster came, the entire Central Plains would be rotten at once. However, although there are natural disasters now, at least there are no large-scale man-made disasters, and the people are okay.

Thinking of the Central Plains, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered Qian Fugui's hometown again, and couldn't help but think that at about the same time, his wife and children should also arrive. turned around and took a photo, and then showed Qian Fugui a look, which could also make him feel at ease.

When it was nearly evening, in Kaifeng, Henan, there was a shop, and the guys were closing the door panel, chatting with each other.

"Have you heard, there are rumors that King Fu of Luoyang is also going to sell his land."

"I also heard it, Tang Wang of Nanyang, but he sold all the land, and Liu Yuanwai, who is next door to my house, went to buy a lot of land and came back, it is all good land!"

"I don't want to say this, those lands of the Tang King of Nanyang, don't you know, the government also deliberately set aside a lot of small pieces of land for the people who have no fields to auction, it is said that this land can also go to the bank to mortgage, so that many people have a piece of land for nothing! Ah, a lot of people over there have land! ”

"But no, now the will of the imperial court to benefit the people is one after another, and there is hope for this day!"

"Hehe, it's not, no, there are rewards for having more children, and my mother-in-law is pregnant with another one now!"

"What, congratulations!"

"Hehe, rejoicing and rejoicing!" The guy chatted, had already finished the door, and then turned to the shopkeeper behind the counter and said, "Money shopkeeper, the mother-in-law at home has to take care of it, I'll go first!" ”

When a shopkeeper in his forties heard this, he removed it from the ledger and said with a smile: "Go back quickly!" ”

When the guy heard this, he remembered something, so he said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, now the court encourages childbirth, and it's not too late to marry a concubine!" ”

The other guy was also a little concerned when he heard it. They all know that the money shopkeeper originally had two sons, but one went out to do business, and there was no news, and the son who stayed at home died of illness two years ago. Now that the house is closed, I usually see children on the street, and sometimes I am stunned. One of the most common phrases in my mouth is that if my son were still alive, my grandson would have to be so old. Or, complain about that son, don't want this family anymore, die outside.

There has been no news for so long, this guy actually knows almost in his heart, and if he can't figure out the son of the money shopkeeper, he will really die outside. In these years, it is not easy to go out to do business, it is not a last resort, and no one will do it.

The money shopkeeper's family was very poor before, and his son was forced to go out to do business. It's just that later, the money shopkeeper didn't know what shit luck he got, and Meng County respected him, just an old boy, and he actually let him come to this store to be the shopkeeper, and this life was a lot better.

Thinking about it like this, the guy hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I have to leave too, the children's school will be out soon, I have to pick up my son!" ”

"Hehe, let's go, let's go!" The money shopkeeper replied with a smile, waved his hand, and watched the two guys happily leave through the side door. When there was no figure, I suddenly sighed in my heart, a little in a daze.

The words of these two guys just now really hit the pain in his heart again.

As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. The younger son is gone, but the eldest son went out to do business, but there was no news.

If I had known that I could run from time to time, I would have the opportunity to be appreciated by the county, and I really shouldn't have let my eldest son go out to do business, otherwise, now that the family is having a better life, how many grandchildren can be fed, and I can be like this guy, when the point comes, I will go to the children's school to pick up my grandson from school......

Thinking like this, the money shopkeeper felt a pain in his heart, originally there was still some money at home, but he was spent by himself when he was studying for the children's exam. But if you don't become a talent, just a child, it's useless. Now it's good, the imperial court has opened a children's school, as long as the age is up, there is a quota, you can go to the children's school to study, children don't have to spend money, I heard, the test is also easier, what science and technology basic courses will be in the children's school, as long as these can be tested, there are plus points for going back to the test.

After staying for a long time, the money shopkeeper came back to his senses, and a wry smile appeared on his face, not to mention a grandson, not even a son, why think so much! The mother-in-law at home is not in good health, so she has to go back early.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed again. The mother-in-law's health is not good, but she doesn't think about her son. When I return home, my mother-in-law will nag, I should have listened to her back then, don't let my son go far away, now the family is better, and the relationship with the county is okay, maybe I can let my son take over his own shortcomings, be a shopkeeper, and don't worry about eating and drinking.

The money shopkeeper packed up his things, went out of the store, looked at the red sunset in the evening, and walked home.

At this time, the old Wang family next door is estimated to be lively again, a family of five sons, three daughters, how lively it is! One of them also has a son to do a little business, every once in a while can carry a piece of meat to the house, in the past, I saw that my mother-in-law was very envious, always in front of myself to say that the old Wang family's mother-in-law is showing off again, the smell of meat knows to drill into their own home.

Although I was able to eat meat at home later, the old Wang family's mother-in-law always had a bite of my son, my son, didn't he just have meat to eat? I also have money now, not bad meat!

Thinking like this, the money shopkeeper suddenly turned around, his pace quickened a little, and he hurriedly headed towards the butcher's shop. The meat at night can be cheaper, and you can cut a large piece of it yourself and go home.

It didn't take long for the money shopkeeper to carry half a pig's head before going home, but he sighed again for no reason in his heart, the meat was there, but he only bought it himself. No matter what, it is always inferior to the old Wang family, and the mother-in-law will always complain about the things of the year.

He was thinking like this, when he suddenly saw a person running in front of him, and he shouted at him from afar: "Old money, old money, I know you are here......"

The money shopkeeper looked up and found that it was the old king next door, and he was really thinking about something, he was a little bored, but he was also a little curious and asked, "What's the matter, is there something to do with me?" ”

The old king ran up to him, panting with joy, and said loudly: "But no, go back quickly, your family is here, no, no, your son is back, uh, no, your grandson is back......"

"What are you doing to find me happy?" When the money shopkeeper heard this, he was a little unhappy, and lied to himself that his son was back, and he also said that his grandson was also back, where did his grandson come from? Your uncle's!

"That's called a pomp, you don't know, your son is promising!" Speaking of this, the old king suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly snatched the half of the pig's head from the money shopkeeper's hand, and urged him at the same time: "Don't go back quickly, the county is in your house!" ”

"What do you mean?" The money shopkeeper was a little confused, one time he said that his son was back, and the other time he said that his grandson was back, and now he said that the county was in his own home, what is the situation?

He felt that the old king was a little happy with himself? But it's impossible, when I didn't become a shopkeeper before, I did, but since I became a shopkeeper, the old Wangtou's family has respected themselves! But who is the county honorable to come to his own home? Impossible!

The old king saw that the money shopkeeper was not moving, so he was anxious, and he didn't mention the pig's head and pushed the money shopkeeper, and it felt wrong, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't push it on purpose, no, no, no, I pushed it on purpose, urge you, you are in charge, your mother-in-law...... Your wife can't handle it, let me tell you, there are still Jinyi Wei, it seems to be the Lord of Qianhu, that majesty ......"

"What? And Jinyiwei is also at my house? "The money shopkeeper is panicked, if you talk about the county's lightness, it's already the limit, and if you want to take Jinyiwei again, it will be really bold, "If you want to have a home, pull you to the county office!"

After finishing speaking, the money shopkeeper ran up in a panic and rushed home.

The old king carried half a pig's head, looked at the back of the money shopkeeper with a smile and sighed: "I didn't expect to name my son Fugui, it's really rich!" ”
