When Wang Sheng and Liu Shu entered the door, Wang Kefan was shaving in the yard.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Wang Kefan stood up, wiped the foam off his face with a towel, took out two pieces of soap from the box next to him, and handed them over.

"Take it back and try it. The latest product that Shigu Academy has just made is easy to use for washing face, bath and clothes, and it should be available on the market soon. With this thing, it is much more convenient to shave, and the third brother might as well shave off his beard, which is clean and easy to take care of. ”

"Oh? It's so powerful, then I must try it. Wang Sheng put away the soap casually, not too concerned. Shigu Academy often introduces some strange new gadgets, few good ones, many bad ones, he is no longer surprised, soap may be used to sell money, but such a small thing may not make much money.

Liu Shu next to her was very interested in the soap, sent it to the bottom of her nose and smelled it, opened the wrapping paper again, picked off a small piece with her fingernails, twisted it in the palm of her hand and studied it carefully, and asked Wang Kefan two questions from time to time. Wang Kefan seems to be very familiar with this soap, no matter the manufacturing raw materials or the method of use, Liu Shu asks anything, he always opens his mouth to answer.

"This thing can be sold to the Francois man, I am going to open a factory in Hong Kong, sell it as a luxury product, two taels of silver a piece, and slaughter foreign devils with a knife."

"What? This thing costs two taels of silver a piece?! Wang Sheng was startled, took out the soap in his arms again, and looked back and forth in disbelief.

"Luxury, don't ask for the best. But ask for the most expensive. This thing can't be sold at a lower price in the first place, so it will be slower to open up sales, and our emperor has always been thrifty. I don't know if I can sell it to Tartar, let Da Yu'er try it too. Wang Kefan rubbed his green chin and was lewd pleasantly.

"Who is Da Yu'er?" Liu Shu was curious.

"Queen Mother Tartar." Wang Kefan has to answer all questions, and he knows everything, and he is nicknamed Bai Xiaosheng.

"You still don't shave, it's ugly, it's too frivolous without a beard. It doesn't match your identity. Wang Sheng looked at his swarthy chin and felt very unpleasant.

"Maybe it's a little weird, just get used to it." If it weren't for the fact that hair had a special meaning in the late Ming Dynasty. Wang Kefan even wanted to sort out the board inch, after he came out of the army in his previous life, he was the same board inch for more than ten years, that kind of energetic and clean feeling. It's nostalgic when you think about it. He paused. He also said: "Tan Tai should have passed Hangzhou, our army may set off at any time, this time I won't be able to come back for two or three months, clean up a little bit, and the road is convenient." ”

"Why can't you go on the expedition now? The soldiers were all in a hurry. Liu Shu asked another question.

"We have to wait a little longer, and wait for Tan Tai to set up a position in Jiangshan County. The Tartars had sailors to help them fight, and it was very convenient to move back and forth along the Yangtze River, waiting for Teng Shuanglin to bite him. It's not that simple to go back to Anqing Mansion. Wang Kefan answered patiently.

Teng Shuanglin's Tongcheng camp is in the area of Jiangshan County, and he has always been clever in fighting. The small abacus crackled and crackled, and all kinds of small means were unguardable, and this kind of harassing sluggish war could best play to his strengths. Although Tan Tai has the advantage of troops, it is difficult to grasp the main force of the small abacus Teng Shuanglin in the hilly areas of southern Zhejiang, if he is in a hurry to retreat back to Nanzhili, he will be bitten by Teng Shuanglin if he is not careful.

"What if Tan Tai is ruthless and desperately wants to take Xianxialing?" Wang Sheng was a little worried: "With only the Tongcheng Battalion, the Zhenxiao Battalion, and the soldiers and horses of Hu Yiqing and Chen Bangfu, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Tan Tai's tens of thousands of troops." ”

"Then give him Xianxialing and let him enter Fujian to support Tong Yangjia. I'll go to Nanzhili, and Jin Shengheng will copy his old nest Jiujiang Mansion to see who can have the last laugh. ”

Wang Kefan saw Liu Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and stopped her with a smile and waved his hand: "You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say." The whole court wants our Chu army to be nailed to death in Xianxialing, blocking Tan Tai's reinforcements, so that the southern route and the eastern expeditionary army can recover Fujian smoothly, and for this, they also sent another 100,000 taels of silver for this purpose. Hehe, these 100,000 taels of silver are hot, if we are nailed to death in Xianxialing, we will have to fight to the death with Tan Tai, and finally cripple our Chu army, but in the end it will complete their great achievement in recovering Fujian, I will not do this kind of loss-making business...... Yes, everything should be based on the overall situation, but our Chu army is disabled, and when the Tartar reinforcements go south, can they really hold Fujian? ”

“……”

Liu Shu and Wang Sheng nodded silently.

Although the recovery of Fujian is a very tempting goal, it can only be enjoyed for a while, and the gains and losses of one city and one place are not important; on the contrary, it is the correct strategic thinking to preserve one's own vital forces and strike at the enemy's weak links.

Wang Kefan carefully inquired about the situation in Guilin, and then asked Liu Shu to go down to rest, and after she left, he turned his face and looked at Wang Sheng meaningfully.

"Third brother, the Jiangxi volunteers have formed a new army, and I plan to hand it over to Liu Shu to lead, garrison Shangrao and Guixi, and reduce the burden on you. When necessary, the Chongyang battalion can leave Jiangxi and go east as my backup, how about it? ”

"This is a good idea, Tan Tai will not go if he doesn't go, as soon as he leaves, he will go so thoroughly, and the Chongyang Camp can also follow suit. To be honest, I want to put my chopsticks into Jin Shenghuan's bowl and snatch Jiujiang Mansion! ”

"Jiujiang Mansion will be left to Jin Shenghuan, Nanzhili and Zhejiang are such a big place, it is enough for us to toss, leave him a carrot and see if he can gnaw it down." Wang Kefan asked again: "Third brother, it's nothing inconvenient for you to partner with Liu Shu, right?" ”

"Fourth, what do you mean?" Wang Sheng finally realized that something was wrong.

"Third brother, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it! Liu Shu just came back, you just ran to Zhangshu Town to pick her up, what do you mean, I still want to ask. ”

"I, I ......" Wang Sheng was speechless for a moment.

"Don't be like this, I can understand, you are also old, and it is normal for Sichun to courtship. Li Yushi, what are you laughing at? The pimples on my face are shiny, and I want to marry a daughter-in-law......"

"You, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth!" Wang Sheng was annoyed and angry: "I just think that Liu Shunian is a widow and has a young son, so pitiful and wants to help her, how can it be like your eldest brother who has three wives and four concubines before marrying, it is simply absurd!" ”

"Is it good to have only one wife and two concubines? You have a mouth full of tongues, how can you look like a brother? Wang Kefan waved his hand, blasted out Li Yushi, who was listening with interest with his ears pricked up, and then started the class very strictly: "From a zoological point of view, male animals will instinctively look for more mates to ensure that their genes can be inherited, so men's attention is not a problem with moral character, but instinctive. Women, on the contrary, will carefully select the best and strongest spouses in order to ensure the health and excellence of their offspring, and are not interested in other men......"

"Okay, okay, okay...... You! Fast! Beat! Live! ”

Wang Shengdou was as big as a fight, stretched out his slap, and couldn't wait to hold down Wang Kefan's mouth: "Let you read less Western evil books, you still don't listen to it, it's so disgusting to read nonsense, you really think you're a beast......"

Li Yushi walked out of the courtyard, turned around and closed the courtyard door carefully, drove the sentries on both sides away, and stood guard outside the door himself.

An officer from the staff department hurriedly walked over, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the gate was closed and Li Yushi was still standing at the door as a sentry.

"Wait a minute, you can't go in now." Li Yushi said with a stern face: "Wang Junmen is discussing confidential military affairs with General Wang San, and no one is allowed to disturb him. ”

"Oh! Okay, I'll wait a minute. The officer suddenly realized, nodded at Li Yushi, and turned to the side.

There were many people who wanted to ask to see Wang Kefan, and no matter who came, Li Yushi would block the car, and they were not allowed to approach the gate, so as not to hear the conversation inside. Wang Kefan usually doesn't smile, and only in front of Wang Sheng and Zhan Ji has a rare moment of relaxation, making a few jokes out of tune, but it is inconvenient for outsiders to hear.

In the courtyard, Wang Sheng and Wang Kefan continued to gossip about the topic.

"Fourth, you talk about such a set of crooked reasoning, is it not enough to have one wife and two concubines, and you want to marry ten or eight?"

"There is nothing to do, one wife and two concubines are enough, and I can't stand any more. People are advanced animals, and they have to control their own instincts, don't you say? I'm actually an emotional person, and I don't want to hurt them anymore. ”

"Well, what you said is right, I will never take a concubine after marrying a wife in the future, that is, the two of them will grow old." Wang Sheng had a yearning look on his face.

"I'm mistaken! You have to show your loyalty, hurry up and find Liu Shu, don't chirp with me anymore. It's disgusting, it gives me goosebumps to hear. Wang Kefan glared at him with disgust.

"Fourth, you are an expert, do you say Liu Shu can take a fancy to me?" Wang Sheng got closer and asked him sincerely.

"Third brother, how can you, a real person, learn to carry a gun and a stick, why am I an expert? Isn't this scolding......" Wang Kefan avoided answering, and counted Wang Sheng all the way, and only after his appetite was hung up did he show his dry goods: "As the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle, whether people can take a fancy to you, I don't dare to guarantee the ticket." But a good girl is afraid of pestering her, as long as you chase her desperately, if she doesn't marry, I don't think it's a big problem......"

"Okay! I believe in your ability, just do what you say, you must chase after you desperately, unless she doesn't marry! Wang Sheng was nodding again and again, resolutely, his mind suddenly jumped, and asked, "What's the matter with Hua Xiaoyue, I heard that you offended her?" ”

"Yes, I'm offended, she's been making a fuss about becoming a monk recently." Wang Kefan was poked in the soft underbelly, and his face was embarrassed.

"Not surprising. In order to ensure the health and excellence of the offspring, women will carefully select the best and strongest spouses, and are not interested in other men. Wang Sheng looked at Wang Kefan sympathetically: "She is on a par with you, and she is desperately chasing after her, so you don't want to marry...... Hello do it yourself. (To be continued......)
