"Lord Commander, please allow the villain to spread the glory of God in your territory!"

After seeing Li Meng, Priest Federer asked very respectfully, the priest was similar to the role of an adviser among these people around Li Meng, and Western missionaries came to the East to preach, and they relied on incomplete theological theories to break into the upper class, but on the advanced knowledge of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, and the same is true for this priest, Li Meng often asks some intellectual questions.

Therefore, the treatment of the old priest is not bad, at least this black priest's robe is a very elegant product, and it looks quite solemn when worn on the body.

Hearing the priest ask this, Li Meng always had some regrets in his heart, such as why the other party didn't use an interpreter to talk to him, such as "respected adult" and the like. But it's a little ridiculous to think about it, this may be a trace of childlike innocence in my heart.

Missionary, this thing is simple to say, but Li Meng is deeply vigilant about this matter, he joined the army in modern times, and after he retired from the army, he worked in an escort company, and there were few opportunities for study and further study, and his real knowledge was what he saw and heard in the media when he was training and working in the army.

Among what he saw and heard, there was still some emphasis on the spread of religion, or some vigilance, and what Li Meng remembered deeply was a joke, a well-known African religious figure said that when the white colonizers came to Africa, they had the Bible, we had the land, and then the white people said, close your eyes and pray, after opening your eyes. Now we have the Bible. And the white man has the land in his eyes.

It is ridiculous to say that the five thousand years of Chinese history is very sloppy and sloppy, but the history of foreign countries is more profound and extensive.

At present, disasters are frequent, and the surroundings are not stable, although Li Meng has a large army. But I don't want any unrest in my territory.

There is often no reason to talk about with these disciples, and if they are really fanatical at that time, it is difficult to say whether there is still themselves as a general soldier in their eyes.

Of course, this old priest may not have so much energy, he may have good intentions, and there are certainly prodigal ambitions in this era, and there are clergy who fight for the conquest, but there are also simple believers who have crossed the ocean and crossed thousands of miles to the East. Just to spread their faith, there is something to be admired.

Looking at the old priest with a look of anticipation on the other side, Li Meng, who was sitting on the chair, shook his head with a smile. Spoken:

"No way!"

Of course, Father Federer was full of disappointment, but the old priest didn't say much, the territory and army size controlled by Li Meng were already equivalent to the level of the Grand Duke in Europe, and such a high-ranking nobleman was obviously not something he could convince at such a time.

The old priest stayed in the Li family manor for almost a year, and during this time, he has been cultivating his body. He lived in seclusion, but he was also observing everything around him, and in his opinion, the army and civil affairs under Li Meng were very different from the rest of the Ming Dynasty.

Federer is not sure where these differences are, but it can be seen that these differences are not so oriental, and relatively closer to Europe. For example, with the infantry units of Spain and France.

So many years of hard life in Nanzhili. The old priest who had crossed the ocean from the Netherlands to the East was very determined. After hearing Li Meng's refusal to express his position, although he was disappointed, he did not despair, but made up his mind to continue the request.

At the same time, Father Federer also learned some things through Dunglas, and he did not dare to do it without permission, in that case, there was a chance that he would lose his life.

Disappointed, Father Federer stood up and bowed, and was just about to retreat, when Li Meng, who had been pondering, suddenly stopped the old priest and said slowly:

"Mr. Federer, although it is not possible to preach, this side of the seat can provide shelter for your compatriots, I don't know the situation in Europa, but the Jesuits and the sect that Mr. believes in are hostile to each other, and this is still the case in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention in your home country, where those who are expelled and have nowhere to go, Shandong on this side of this seat can provide them with a place to stay."

Father Federer stood there, of course he understood what Li Meng meant, such a naked person has a need for people with skills in the West. It is indeed rare in Daming, but although Li Meng's purpose is extremely utilitarian, it is a good thing after all, but ......, Federer asked:

"My lord, I'm afraid there are no Westerners on the ground in Shandong?"

"It's okay, this seat will give you a boat, give you money, go to Jiangnan, go to Macau, go to Nanyang, naturally the more the merrier."

Since everything is provided by Li Meng's side, it is a charitable thing after all, and it is much better than staying in this manor, Father Federer hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, and before going out, he heard Li Meng behind him smile and said:

"Mercenaries, officers, craftsmen and technicians, people with a skill, Shandong is strongly welcome!"

Federer had a wry smile on his face, and he turned back to salute, and then he walked out of the house.

Sending this foreigner out, Li Meng didn't worry about anything, anyway, he was accompanied by an officer of his cronies, the priest and Su Anqi had a deep relationship, Su Anqi's Li family manor life was more or less a hostage, not to mention tens of thousands of miles in the east, and the place that could give him food and clothing was this Shandong, and he was not afraid that he would not come back.

The official documents of the Yangzhou salt merchants and the yamen of the Yangzhou Prefecture were sent to Li Meng with the efficiency and high efficiency rarely seen in the Ming Dynasty, which only had a detailed explanation of the things that happened to the Huaibei army, but also about the disposal of the salt merchant surnamed Chen, the confiscation of property, and the whole family was sentenced to death for colluding with the thieves.

Raiding the house and destroying the door, such a punishment can be said to be extremely heavy, and it is the same as those official documents and private letters in the past. Vague words throughout. The polite words are different, whether it is the private message of the salt merchants or the official document of the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion, it is clear and clear, and the private message of the salt merchants is extremely humble, vowing not to have such a thing again.

The other party's attitude has reached such a point, and the handling is also considered to be serious, Li Meng really doesn't have much to say on his side, and the provocation expands. But it can only be put aside temporarily.

"Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou." Yangzhou is famous for its prosperity all over the world, and the richest group of people in the prosperous Yangzhou Mansion is the salt merchants, and the largest and richest among the salt merchants is the Fang family, the Fang family is a salt merchant from Huizhou, and it has been passed down for nearly ten generations of wealth, which is really extraordinary.

Yangzhou City also has a folk proverb "Yangzhou salt, Fangjia half", these simple words. It also reflects his family's Xuanhe, the Fang family's wealth and heirloom, compared to other salt merchants. Doing things can be regarded as knowing how to measure the scale, and not being proud of being rich, so how many years of wind and waves have been supported, and the land is getting bigger and bigger.

This Fang family has a tradition of supporting the scholars of the poor family to study for the imperial examination for generations, and after these literati were promoted to officials, they also needed money to maintain their dignity, but the poor were born and the money came from there. The Fang family also subsidized on a large scale, and these beneficiaries of the officials naturally leaned towards the Fang family and gave the Fang family all kinds of convenience.

The Fang family knows very well that just relying on rich characters cannot keep the family business for a long time, and only if it has something to do with the government can it become bigger and bigger. Stay safe.

Chongzhen's dynasty. In addition to those literati who were close to the Fang family, there were also several descendants of the Fang family who were officials outside. One of them is already a squire of the household department in Nanjing, and some people are members of the Beijing Division, and there are also prefects in the Ningguo Mansion of Nanzhili, as for the officials of the sixth and seventh grades, the number is even more.

With these people doing Olympic aid, the Fang family's business is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and the power is also expanding abnormally, the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion saw the head of the Fang family, that is, the "Fang Yuanwai", all of whom had to perform the junior ceremony, and called "Shun Weng", as for those salt merchants, they regarded Fang Yuanwai as a leader, and they obeyed step by step, and did not dare to disobey.

Fang Yuanwai has three sons, two daughters, and two daughters are married to high-ranking officials in Nanjing. He has three sons, the youngest son works as an errand boy in the yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the other two sons are all prisoners, and they are in charge of the salt industry at home.

The sons are also quite fatherly, and they are called "one door and three English" by the idlers.

Since the house of the salt merchant surnamed Chen was raided, the door of the Fang family was closed, and the three sons gathered in the mansion all day long to discuss with their father.

In the center of Fang's mansion, it is a building built in imitation of a farmhouse's courtyard, which is quite leisurely, and the most central position is the residence of the patriarch Fang Zhishun, except for the two servants who are serving closely, there is no one else around.

"Daddy, Liu Bantou of Yangzhou Mansion personally went to the cell once this morning, Chen Wu hanged himself for the crime, there will be no problem."

The three sons of the Fang family are all sitting down, and these three people are also well-known characters outside, and they are all middle-aged with families, but in front of their father, they are all cautious.

The person who reported Chen Wu's suicide was the second child of the Fang family, and several people in the house understood that Chen Wu's suicide was, of course, suicide. After Fang Lao Er finished speaking, he stared at Fang Yuanwai tremblingly, waiting for his father's reaction, hearing the suicide, Fang Yuanwai nodded, but his face did not ease in the slightest, but his eyes turned to Fang Laosan.

Fang Laosan hurriedly stood up and said:

"Father, three messengers, nine horses, and the governor's and prefect's guards, hurry all the way, there will be no delay in Jiaozhou, and it will definitely be sent to the hands of Li Meng, the chief soldier of Shandong."

Hearing this, Fang Yuanwai obviously felt relieved, and then he said angrily with an angry face:

"Bastard thing, bastard thing, how did you come to be so bold, if this matter is involved with our Fang family, it is the sin of raiding the house and destroying the door!"

He was in a hurry, he couldn't help coughing, his white beard trembled, Boss Fang stood up hesitantly, walked behind him and helped Fang Yuanwai beat his back, and when Fang Yuanwai's anger was smooth, he opened his mouth and scolded again:

"Our Fang family has been inherited for so many years, and what does today's family business rely on, relying on the land to do business. Stick to the rules. I will never get involved in that hurtful thing, you bastards, what kind of bear-hearted leopard gall did you eat, and you actually went to ......"

Speaking of this, this Fang member was not ambiguous at all, and immediately sensed that he was excited, and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl to moisten his throat. The sons of the Fang family made eye contact, but Fang Laosan felt that he was more able to speak, and he boldly spoke:

"Father, this matter is the first contact of Chen Wu, he can't speak at the moment, the second brother is just agitating a few words, no matter how you say it, it can't involve our family, why are you so angry, it's not worth it if you're angry."

I heard my brother speak. Fang Lao Er also opened his mouth and said:

"Those Shandong soldiers are pinching the Huaibei area, and our family's salt can't be transported to the border of Henan, and some buyers in Shanxi and Beizhili are already unstable. What's more, for a public share of 1.2 million taels, our Fang family will have to pay 200,000 taels, if you don't have something real, then the Shandong people will bully the ground even more ruthlessly! ”

Boss Fang was behind him and said in line with Fang Yuan's breath:

"The second and third are right, our minions have news from the north, and their Shandong salt sellers are jumping up and down, and these Shandong barbarians are escorted by his Li Meng's soldiers and horses. It's very arrogant, and it robbed us of a lot of territory, Daddy, I don't think there are enough people to find this time, next time I will find more horse thieves, and I can't eat his small thousands of people, and I will cut off one of his hands. It hurts his flesh. Look at him, Li Meng still dares to come!! ”

With a "snap", Fang Yuanwai threw the teacup in his hand on the ground. But he didn't cough anymore, and sent down the coffee table heavily, and shouted angrily:

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, confused, confused!!"

Foreign Minister Fang took a few breaths, and after calming down, he raised his finger tremblingly and pointed at a few silent but somewhat unconvinced sons in front of him and said:

"More than 3,000 horse thieves besieged him Huaibei Army 1,000 people, what was the result, his Huaibei Army killed three people, injured more than a dozen, they were all injured by themselves, how many of his Chen Wu's cronies died, how many of those horse thieves died, and what kind of pain to talk about, I thought that a few of you were sensible and could take care of things outside, but I didn't expect it to be so frizzy, so how can Li Meng pinch our necks, as long as we do our duty, we will always make money, earn more and earn less, if you are so reckless, he Li Meng is ruthless and sends troops to kill him, that is the catastrophe of destroying the family and destroying the clan. ”

After a pause, he spoke again:

"From today on, our Fang family will take as much as the public share, and let him do whatever the Huaibei Army wants, after all, we can't let these Shandong barbarians find a reason to make trouble......

The third child of the Fang family was doing things in the official mansion, but he was a little unconvinced when he heard Fang Yuanwai's words, and couldn't help but speak:

"In this Nanzhili locality, it is also his turn to be an arrogant and domineering general soldier from other provinces, is there no royal law!?"

As soon as he said this, Fang Yuanwai's eyes widened, and he scolded:

"Bastard, you read the newspapers, for example, there are a few generals who talk about the king's law today!!"

Outside the old staff, the head of the family set the tone, and the three sons did not have any objections, but it was difficult for them to feel a little aggrieved, because the plan of encouraging this Chen Wu to buy horse thieves and set up a bureau to besiege and kill the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion was not known to many eyes and ears outside the party, and he was not reprimanded until after the defeat, which showed that he acquiesced in the action that day, and was happy to see the result.

It's just that I didn't expect that the combat power of the Huaibei Army in Jiaozhou was too commonsense, so that everyone couldn't deal with it, and now all possibilities of leading things to the Fang family were cut off, but they were still reprimanded by the old man for a while, and the three sons were really unconvinced.

However, the family, this little contradiction does not affect the overall situation, after a while, Boss Fang shouted that the next person came in to change the tea, and the father and son eased their breath, and this is the opening of their mouths:

"Daddy, the third uncle's Liancheng came back a few days ago, busy with the accounts of Shanxi last year, mentioned one thing, said that Gao Shenghe and the Tartars outside the Guanhai are very close, buying and selling iron and salt goods, it is really a big fortune, it is said that last year in Beizhili and Shandong looted those gold and silver, a lot of them are flowing into his house, we can't get involved in this business, but I heard that Gao Shenghe Pan's family is gambling, some transactions would rather lose money!"

"Bet on what?"

Fang Laosan asked below, Boss Fang's words could be regarded as turning the conversation away, and the people in the room were obviously interested. Boss Fang couldn't help but lower his voice and said:

"It is guessed that Goldman Sachs and the Pan family decided to bet on the world. Bet that the Tartars have entered the Central Plains, they will be the heroes of Conglong, and they will be imperial merchants at that time, and they will not be rich and glorious at that time! ”

Although they are all from their own families, when it comes to such taboo topics, a group of people still lower their voices, but the people in the old Sanguan Mansion have a different mentality. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer and said:

"It's really lard, the Ming Iron beats the country, what can the Tartar do!"

"Have you seen the Tartar defeated since he raised his army? The land outside the pass is about to be lost, you look at our Ming side, internal and external troubles, natural disasters*, last year the Tartar soldiers entered the pass, to see what the soldiers and horses of the imperial court looked like. Isn't that ...... Isn't that Li Meng a winner? ”

Fang Lao's tendency to the earth has been quite obvious, and the family generally has a tradition of betting on many parties, such as the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. Many wealthy families were in contact with Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang in the Yuan Dynasty, and many of the children of the clan served in these three parties, and at the time of the Jingjing, Chengzu Zhu Di and Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen also had many children of the same family as enemies.

This kind of wall grass or speculation is a wisdom handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and many families do not have the so-called nation and country in their eyes. For them, the most important thing is the continuation and survival of their own family, which is the highest goal.

At present, there are three forces in the world, the Ming court, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong as the people of Shaanxi, and the foreign Tartars, those who have a vision have begun to bet. Or for your own home. But unlike the previous dynasty, the subordinates led by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were different. The common people who are bankrupt or even unable to survive have irreconcilable hatred for the gentry and landlords, and they are completely opposed to the wealthy families, who naturally will not finance their enemies.

Therefore, although the Tartars outside this pass were derided as barbarians by everyone, many people began to contact them in advance, although the Fang family still has a shallow foundation, but it is also a wealthy businessman in the world, so it is natural to take this into account.

After Fang Da finished speaking, his father and brother did not refute, but thoughtfully, Fang Lao Er stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:

"Our family's salt has been sold in Shanxi for many years, and the salt goods sold by Goldman Sachs to Tartar are not shared by our family, so let Liancheng contact ...... them."

Fang Lao Sanlong has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he still has a position problem, but he always disagrees with it, and he can't help but say coldly:

"Let's go to our house, that is, to pick up a cold rice, he is in Changlu, in Shaanxi, even in Sichuan, you can buy salt, it's a big deal not to do this business with our Fang family."

The boss of the Fang family was just about to open his mouth to refute, but he kept frowning and listening to the local old lady patting his eldest son sideways, and said:

"Boss, you sit down first, what the third said is also reasonable, I can't understand anything at the moment, our Fang family can't get any benefit if we do it, but we will be treated as a wronged leader!"

Although the three sons of the Fang family are all brothers-in-law, they also have the meaning of being competitive in front of their father, after all, the Fang family has such a big foundation, and who will be the position of the patriarch in the future is a big deal.

Seeing that his eldest brother and third brother were all talking eloquently, Fang Lao Er didn't make a sound, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, at this time the scene quieted down a little, and he said at the moment:

"It's going to cost money, or spend the silver on Daming himself, okay, isn't this insurance?"

"Second brother, does our family spend less money on these officials, and if we scatter silver, these officials will not let them remember our goodness, but the bigger their appetite, they take it for granted."

was robbed by his eldest brother, Fang Lao Er was suddenly a little anxious, and said loudly:

"Spend money on the Tartars, then it's better to give them to Li Meng, didn't this barbarian still defeat the Tartars over there in Qihe County?"

Just now when he talked about Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, he was still gritting his teeth, but at this time, he suddenly mentioned betting on Li Meng, everyone in the room was stunned, Boss Fang laughed, Fang Laosan couldn't help laughing, Boss Fang sneered and said:

"There are so many princes and counts in the world who don't choose, and the princes and nobles of the vassal don't choose, but they choose him as a Shandong general soldier...... What's so hard about helping another governor or overseer out...... Why bother to go to this lowly military household......"

Laughing as he talked. The second Fang was also aware of his own local language problem. His face was flushed and he was silent, but Old Lady Fang sat up straight, squinted his eyes, and his expression became extremely solemn.

The brothers were still laughing and arguing with each other, I don't know who noticed Old Lady Fang's expression, several people stopped talking, waiting intently for the old lady's decision, Boss Fang and the third elder of the Fang family glanced at each other in some surprise. I thought to myself, the second child's whimsical idea just now, could it be that there is any reason.

It didn't take long for Old Lady Fang to open her eyes, her divine light was clear, if she looked at her eyes, she wouldn't think that this was an old man who was over the age of sixties, so she heard this old man say slowly:

"This bet is ......"

Accompany his wife and be filial to his elders. Waiting for the child to be born, this is a standard family happiness, and Li Meng stayed very fast in the Li family manor.

The city of Jiaozhou is becoming more and more deserted. The soldiers and horses of the old battalion continued to be drawn out, and the troops garrisoned by the Qingzhou Army were gradually rotated, only the horse team and the pro-soldier battalion were drawn together with Li Meng, and there was also a battalion of veterans stationed next to the Li family manor.

From the Jiaozhou garrison to the Shandong general army, Li Mengdi's role has changed, and the position of the center has also changed, such a small city in Jiaozhou can no longer meet the needs, and Li Meng is a passerby in this era. I don't have much nostalgia for this place either.

Most of the military dependents of Lingshan Guard and Fengmeng Town are going to be relocated to Jinan City, which is surrounded by many, many fertile fields than Jiaozhou, and Jinan is also a famous big city in the world, and the various facilities inside and outside the city are much stronger than Jiaozhou.

In the future, Jiaozhou will only exist as a transit station near the Lingshan Salt Field and the Lingshan Private Port, and several large warehouses of the Lingshan Commercial Bank and the Ba Fujian Commercial Bank are also set up here.

Li Meng was very satisfied with the Qingzhou army that had been transferred to Jiaozhou, in the past, Ma Gang guarded Qingzhou, and Zhao Neng guarded Dengzhou. Not enough after this expansion of the army and the change of defense. Li Meng reversed the place where the two were guarded, and Ma Gang was the general of Dengzhou. And Zhao Neng is guarding Qingzhou Mansion.

A military general has been stationed in a certain place for too long, and it is easy to have a relationship with the local forces, and it is good for everyone to move around.

The Qingzhou Army is in several armies under Li Meng, and its characteristics are that it is decent, and everything that Li Meng asked for and recorded in the drill code has been recorded in the code, under the supervision of Zhao Neng, the Qingzhou Army will do it meticulously, and even have to train in order to ensure this effect.

The composition of the unit stationed in Jiaozhou is similar to that of the battalion led by Gao Ke, and Li Meng goes to watch their drills every day, watching these recruit-based troops, showing their temperament and state, they are already soldiers close to the old battalion, and what they lack is nothing more than actual combat experience.

In the future, after the old battalion is stationed in Jinan, the soldiers and horses stationed in various places must have a battalion in each army, that is, a thousand-man team will always live around the city of Jinan, and they will be rotated every three months or half a year according to the distance they travel, so that they can not only ensure that Jinan will always have the strongest strength in this critical position, but also allow Li Meng to test the training of various armies, which is actually a kind of supervision.

The civil administration has been moved to Jinan City, and the ordnance manufacturing in Laiwu City is also being carried out in an orderly manner, as for the commercial bank, sea trade and salt industry, these are all things that have been done, Li Meng can pay attention to it in a timely manner, and there is no need to invest too much energy.

Military affairs are already the norm every day, and the officers at all levels below will supervise on their own, and in the system established by Li Meng, the system is much more perfect than the army of this era, and under this system, many things can be guaranteed to operate automatically and orderly.

In other words, Li Meng is very idle at the moment, and Priest Federer took a dozen servants and a sum of silver to the south by boat, and they were sheltered by the Zheng family on the way, so there was no need to worry about their safety, and the trip would definitely go smoothly.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this sentence is true, especially for Liu Fulai, if it is not for the relocation of the civil affairs center in Jiaozhou, Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui are afraid that they will come to the door every day to seek advice, and when they are not relocated, these two people have talked with the old eunuch a few times and have benefited greatly.

Liu Fulai is a person in a high position, what he thinks and considers, and the countermeasures and methods he takes, naturally not what Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui can think of, but what these two are doing now is what they need to do in a high position, of course, they are not willing to give up their huge power and dazzling status, but if they want to keep this position, they must do well. The two of them have been studying desperately. Liu Fulai was an excellent teacher for them, so he naturally seized every opportunity to seek advice.

Not only the two of them, but even Li Meng felt that every time he talked with the old eunuch, he benefited a lot, although modern things were many years ahead of this time, but Li Meng could take out, except for military affairs, most of them were incomplete fragments. And the old eunuch's side is the systematic and complete knowledge of this era.

Every day, as long as he is free, Li Meng usually stays with Yan Ruoran for a period of time, and then leads the girls to Liu Fulai's house to eat and chat.

For the old eunuch, life in the Li family's manor seems to be the happiest time in this life, the so-called feeling of home should be like this, and the blessings cultivated in the previous life should be like this.

Li Meng sometimes talked to Liu Fulai about the confidential affairs of the Jiaozhou camp, and the old eunuch did not feel tired and bored, but helped plan with great interest, in his opinion. It's my own business, and it's closely related to myself, so how can I be busy if I don't get busy for this?

Early April. The weather in Shandong was warmer than in previous years, and after Li Meng led the pro-military camp to inspect the surrounding defenses, he went around the private harbor again, and when he returned to the manor, it was already dusk.

Entering the manor, the housekeeper Rosie hurriedly followed, arranged for the servants to take away Li Meng's clothes and armor, and talked to Li Meng about some things during the day. It's nothing more than that the governor of Shandong's yamen has any official business to come to ask, and he has already arranged for someone to put it in the study, waiting for the master to come back and dispose of it.

Walking to the side of the inner courtyard, the housekeeper Rosie no longer followed, without Li Meng's permission, he also had no right to enter, and there were heavily armed personal guards outside the inner courtyard. These pro-soldiers must be from the Lingshan Guard. Moreover, it requires the guarantee of three officers of the Jiaozhou battalion with the minimum rank of deputy of the team, which can be regarded as the most reassuring armed force.

After these pro-soldiers saw Li Meng. He does not kneel on the ground, straightens his body and does not move, and gently hammers with his left hand on his flat chest, even if he has done a military salute.

Li Meng waved at them, and went straight up the steps, in the inner courtyard gatehouse, there was a light shining, and when I looked over, it was Su Anqi who was concentrating on writing a notebook there, Su Anqi was smart and clever, and Eunuch Liu also liked it when he saw it, and it was also a joy for the old man to have someone to teach knowledge.

However, in the past, the three sons of the Sun family, Zhou Yang, Ning Qiangui and his enlightenment teacher, Father Federer, taught some miscellaneous things, and the education of the eunuchs in the Jingshi Palace was tutored by cabinet scholars, which of course had a difference between superior and inferior.

Liu Fulai's request to Su Anqi was to practice the words first, and then talk about other things, so these days Li Meng saw Su Anqi, this child is practicing words.

"Put more ***, don't tire your eyes."

Li Meng told Su Anqi to get up and say hello, Su Anqi practiced calligraphy at the gatehouse, which also meant that there were female dependents in the mansion who were on the old eunuch's side, and he needed to avoid it.

When they entered the house, the maids and mothers-in-law who had already been informed were preparing to arrange in the kitchen, and the old eunuch sat in the study, smiling and saying to Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao:

"In the past, when our family was in the celebrant supervisor, I heard the predecessors say that Yang Sichang has no great talent, but he is so loud and deceitful, although the situation in Chu and Sichuan is good, but Yang Sichang leads the soldiers and horses of several provinces, and it is easy to be short, and it will inevitably be chaotic over time."

Mu Yunyao and Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru behind him were all listening to the lecture intently at this time, while Yan Ruoran, who had a big belly, was sitting on the side, looking at it with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Li Meng couldn't help but smile dumbly, it is said that it is common for the old man to tell some stories to the juniors, but at present, Liu Fulai is analyzing the situation in Huguang and Sichuan, and it is estimated that Mu Yunyao and the girls came to ask for advice with the information collected by the inner account room.

Li Meng came over, the old eunuch smiled Nunu mouth, Mu Yunyao's three daughters immediately stood up, and Li Meng's salute with grace, Mu Yunyao must have also heard the news that Yan Ruoran persuaded Li Meng to take her as a concubine, it was always a little unnatural, and she was a little shy when she saw the ceremony.

"You girls, bother your uncle all day long, and don't let his old man have a quiet time......"

Hearing Li Meng's joke, Liu Fulai waved his hand and interjected with a smile:

"Don't say that, Yun Yao and the three of them come every day, it really relieves a lot of boredom for our family, and if they are so idle all day, it will be boring."

Li Meng walked to Yan Ruoran and sat down, and chatted in a low voice, nothing more than words like how he feels today, Yan Ruoran is in a good state, but Li Meng is a martial artist and doesn't know anything about these things, so he asks each other every day, although Yan Ruoran is also ignorant about these things, but after all, he knows more than Li Meng, and his husband cares so much, Yan Ruoran's heart is also sweet.

As soon as Li Meng came back, the atmosphere in the room became warmer again, and after Mu Yunyao was shy at the beginning, he immediately came to him, chattering about today's affairs, there are a lot of official and private matters, there is always something to say, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are just to say a few words.

At present, the intelligence collation of the inner account room is not complicated, most of them are the analysis and collation of official documents such as Di Bao and Tang Bao, the operation of the supervisor Yang Sichang in the Huguang and Sichuan areas, as well as the transfer of troops and horses outside the Beizhili and Guanwai, and one day the famous officials were imprisoned, and Sun Chuanting, who had served as the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of Baoding, was reduced to the people and sent to prison pending trial.

After chatting a few words here, Eunuch Liu over there opened his mouth and greeted:

"Li Meng, come here, I wrote two posters today, you go back and hang them on the wall, it can be regarded as a decoration, you choose one yourself."

Liu Fulai was born in the pen, and his calligraphy attainments are very profound, and his calligraphy and paintings are regarded as treasures by the literati of the Jiaozhou camp system, and it is not because of flattery and flattery.

Li Meng stood up with a smile, walked to the side of the bookcase, and saw two identical characters on the table, Li Meng didn't understand calligraphy, but he could recognize it as a policy treatise or something.

"This is an article by Xu Ge Lao during the Jiajing period, which is about the way to rule peace in the world, our family has written two, you can choose one!"

Neat italics, Li Meng recognized these words, he roughly looked at the two words, what was written was the same content, the word "world" appeared a lot of times, Li Meng chose the one on the left, the old eunuch nodded with a smile, and said:

"Wait a minute, let Xiao Su send it to you."

The matter was put down, and everyone continued to chat.

These two words are not exactly the same, the word "world" appears a lot, but the word on one word is "the world", and the word on the other is "the great tomorrow", I don't know if it is a coincidence or a subconscious behavior, Li Meng did not choose the "world" with "Daming" The "world is peaceful".
