Chapter 159: Lovesickness
Zhao Zheyi was excited, and even agreed to give money for this batch of arms at the happiest time.
Xu Linglong's little vixen immediately nestled in his arms and settled the account. 900,000 300,000 Linglong guns, 500,000 bullets 500,000, 300 Linglong cannons 600,000, and 300,000 shells. The total price was 2.3 million, which made Zhao Zhe almost faint. Zhao Zhe and Shen Yijun had already estimated that his pro-army governor's mansion would be able to get about five or six million military expenses next year, which was already a lot of military spending according to the total number of less than 100,000. But in the blink of an eye, Xu Linglong was scolded for 2.3 million.
But if you can ask for a price, I can pay it back on the spot. Zhao Zhe is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, and he suffered a loss for a while, and the little girl who was even more provocative was emotional. As a result, you went back and forth, and finally reached a total price of 1.5 million. After all, the department of the organ is also a unit that he personally ordered to build, and the palms and backs of his hands are all meat. But by the way, he helped to come up with a hunger sales method that auctioned off next year's weapons in batches, so that the military governors could compete for their own shares.
Zhao Zhe and Xu Linglong came up with the idea in bed, but it made the people of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies jump to their feet. In the end, no matter what the price is, there is a situation where the two families will not have a gun. Everyone is the governor's mansion in charge of a large army, and no one will be convinced by anyone, why do you have it, but I don't? Can't you fight with the emperor's pro-army governor's mansion, can't you fight with other governors' mansions? The department of the organ also released a word, for every 5,000 exquisite guns, ten exquisite guns made by the master craftsmen in the department of the organ will be given, and the name and year of the master are engraved on them. In this way, those exquisite guns are not only a symbol of weapons, but also a symbol of status.
On the day of the auction on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Zhe also secretly hid in the dark to watch. Sure enough, the three points of the arms were auctioned at extremely high prices, exceeding one million taels, and the last one soared to 1.3 million. For the last share, the Houjun Governor's Mansion almost fought with the people of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion. What made Xu Linglong look at it was dumbfounded, selling arms, it was so profitable and so popular. But he was also puzzled by Zhao Zhe: "Bad guys, are your ministers all stupid." Why didn't the five of them discuss it, everyone took it at a low price, and they didn't fight or grab it. In the end, the five families were divided equally. Why fight for such a bloody outbreak? β
Zhao Zhe, who was hiding in the shadows with her, smiled and said, "These old guys are worthy of being old and well-aged. Your idea is really good, and it sounds like you could save a lot of money. But the problem is that if the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is so united and tacitly unified. So what will I, the emperor, ponder in my heart? Hehe, I must have thought, if the five of them are so united, if they rebel, will they also be so united? They are afraid of me, afraid that I will be suspicious of them. Not to mention military attachΓ©s, the same is true for civilian officials, if they have too good relations with each other, I may wonder if they are forming a party for personal gain? Don't look at some guys who are arguing in the court, maybe they have a very good relationship in private. Besides, they didn't pay for the military expenses themselves, and they didn't lose anything by spending more money on the department. Now who has a head and a face doesn't know that Xu Linglong, the daughter of the Xu Hong family, is deeply favored by the emperor. flattered her, wouldn't it indirectly please the emperor? β
"I see...... It's so complicated, but I still like to play tricks. As soon as Xu Linglong talked about the trick, she became excited: "Bad guy, the Sanfrey you captured is amazing, every time you talk to him, you will have new inspiration." It's really an alien. "After being in contact with Sanfrey for a long time, Linglong gradually has the concept of the universe and the planet, and no longer thinks that Da Zhao is the center of the world, and the world is a parallel concept.
Another team of brocade guards under Zhao Zhe stared at that Sanfrey, and every word he and Linglong said would appear in Zhao Zhe's study two or three hours later. However, this Sanfrey is really a regular alien, almost like Linglong, a research maniac, and will not be mixed with any unclear ideas. This made Zhao Zhe trust him more.
"My family is also amazing." Zhao Zhe touched her cute head with some affection, and said with a smile: "Take more things from Sanfrey, learn more scientific knowledge more systematically, I believe you will be better than him in the future." β
β¦β¦
Since this day is the Lantern Festival, after accompanying Linglong to auction arms. Zhao Zhe dragged her back to the Forbidden City, and after having a Lantern Festival dinner with the queen with a big belly and a few maids, Linglong also felt that she should go back to see her father. Zhao Zhe had not changed the fox fur dressed as a son-in-law, so he personally led a group of guards to send her home, but she didn't go in to see Xu Hong, so she turned back.
But he didn't walk long, but he found that Weimeng's mansion was not far away. In Zhao Zhe's mind, he thought of two people who had something to do with the Wei Mansion. One is Wei Zhenzhen, who has not been seen for more than half a year, Brother Wei Xian. The other one was originally going to steal chastity in the middle of the night, but he accidentally stole a young woman who was scratching the wind in bed to the extreme. I don't know what the relationship between the young woman and the military department is Shangshu Weimeng? If this is his concubine or something, just, uh......
Later, the situation in Liaodong became tense, and he had no time to take care of this side anymore.
However, that girl is really strong and fierce enough. Rao is Zhao Zhe, who has cultivated the Heart Sutra of the Imperial Maiden, is a little unbearable for her. Thinking about some beautiful things in his head, he walked casually to the back door of the side of the wall of the Wei Mansion. The guards, except for Shen Jiabao's kid, didn't know what the emperor was doing when he was wandering around Wei Shangshu's house.
The kid from Jiabao, seeing that the emperor's expression seemed to be in a trance, he smiled and leaned forward to his ear and said, "Your Majesty, do you think of Miss Zhenzhen?" Weichen heard that Miss Zhenzhen has not been out of the door for most of the past six months. What Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year didn't come out. Although today is the Lantern Festival, according to Miss Zhenzhen's surname, I am afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what?" Zhao Zhe glared at him angrily.
"I'm afraid I won't come out, otherwise, Weichen sneaked into the Wei Mansion quietly and helped the emperor send a letter to Miss Zhenzhen, how about asking her to come out?" Shen Jiabao began to have bad ideas with a thief grin: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the festival should not be missed." β
"This ...... Can you do it? Although this guy's tone was sinister, I have to admit that Zhao Zhe listened very excitedly. Although it sounds nice to meet again or something. But Wei Zhenzhen is obviously a young lady who does not go out of the door, and it may be difficult to get out once a year. Just as he was hesitating, he heard the sound of the latch of the side door.
Shen Jiabao was just waiting to pat his chest to promise. Hearing the voice, with a wave of his hand, all the guards immediately escorted Zhao Zhe to hide around the corner. Everyone knows that it is unlikely that anyone will come here if there is nothing to do, and only those who will deliver fresh fish, meat, vegetables, etc. to the Wei Mansion will come through the back door on this side. Therefore, this person who seems to have an extraordinary appearance and temperament has nothing to do here, and it will definitely attract attention. If the guards of the Wei Mansion noticed him and the others, it would be difficult to play any tricks.
It was already a little late, although there was a fairly bright full moon hanging in the sky. But hiding in the dark alley, he is not afraid of being discovered. Who would have thought that it didn't take long to say, and in the creak of the side door, a slightly familiar voice from Zhao Zhe said, "Miss, hurry up, don't let people find out." β
If it was a sideline, Zhao Zhe might not be able to hear this voice. But at the side door of this Wei Mansion, it was the familiar lady again. Zhao Zhe suddenly remembered that this was the maid who was called Wei Zhenzhen, and wanted to be the voice of the child? Zhao Zhe looked over, and saw that he wanted to change into men's clothes again, and beckoned Wei Zhenzhen, who had also made up, to sneakily go out of the side door.
"I really don't want to go out." With Zhao Zhe's eyesight, although it was late, with the help of the moonlight and the two lanterns at the door, Wei Zhenzhen's face could be clearly seen. Compared with last year, his own brother Wei Xian seems to be much thinner and haggard. There was an unhealthy paleness on the fair face, and the originally smart eyes were also a little listless.
"Miss, you've been at home for so long, and your health will get worse and worse." If you want to be Wei Zhenzhen's personal maid, you must always follow Miss. The young lady doesn't go out, and she basically doesn't have a chance to go out as a maid. It is rare to have this Lantern Festival, and the young lady was encouraged to pry for a long time, so that she reluctantly agreed. Who would have thought that when she was about to go out, the young lady would change her mind. Suddenly an idea came to mind, and he was tempted: "Miss, today is the Lantern Festival." Maybe we'll meet Zhao Gongzi again while we're strolling? β
Zhao Gongzi? As soon as she heard this name, Wei Zhenzhen's pale and weak face gradually flushed with a faint flush. His eyes seem to be a little more confused, as well as bright. But then it became gloomy again, and he slowly shook his head and said: "Zhao Gongzi is from Jiangnan, and he has to go home for the New Year no matter what." It is now the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it will definitely be a holiday in Suzhou. How could you meet him? β
"Miss, you said the same thing in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the same thing in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you still say so now." Thinking about being extremely depressed, all her encouragement is just that she wants to go out for fun. However, she also knew that since she met Zhao Gongzi, her young lady was like a demon, and she often didn't eat all day. The old man was in a hurry, so he found many doctors to come and see, and many prescriptions were not good. Even the imperial doctor in the palace was invited back by the master. However, the young lady seems to be getting more and more bored. I want to know some reasons, but I don't dare to tell the master. Otherwise, let the master know that she encouraged Miss to go out, and Miss Harm met a man she liked but couldn't stay together, and even more so Miss got lovesickness. Then the next thing to greet her is to be beaten to death with a stick.
