"The spring flowers in the garden are blooming!"

Fang Zining cheered and ran to Fang Ziyi's small courtyard, her slightly baby fat face was full of bright joy.

Last time, when Yu Guozhen came to pay tribute to Fang Kongzhi's birthday, he once went to the small courtyard where Fang Ziyi lived, and the two had a conversation through the curtain. At that time, Fang Zining came out crookedly to salute Yu Guozhen, and after Yu Guozhen learned that she was bound to her feet, she went back and sneered at the other party with Zhizhi, and after that, Fang Kongzhi asked Fang Zining not to bind her feet.

Fang Ziyi still remembers Yu Guozhen's words: "I heard that the girls of the Fang family all have women's virtues, and when I see them today, I don't know that the girls of the Fang family also want to entertain people with sex." ”

Fang Yizhi was angry at that time, he respected his aunt the most, where could he tolerate others criticizing the Fang family's woman.

"Guozhen, if you don't give me an explanation, our friendship will be over!"

"If it's not for Israel to entertain people, why does Zi Ning's little sister have to wrap her feet?" Yu Guozhen sneered: "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he is starving to death." ”

"This ......"

"The wind of good little feet began with Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, this person is dumb and immoral, doesn't the secret brother know, doesn't the uncle know?" Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen said impassionedly: "At this time, how difficult it is for the country to swing, not only needs a great man, but also needs a country that does not let the eyebrows, but the woman with her feet is inconvenient to walk, how can it benefit the family and the country?" ”

Immediately after that, Yu Guozhen was a lot more, and he kept saying that Fang Yizhi was like the color of the earth, and promised to persuade Fang Kongzhi to let Fang Zining no longer bind his feet.

For Xiao Zining, this is the best gift brought by Mr. Yu Jiaxiao!

In her small heart, she immediately raised Yu Guozhen to the position of a good person second only to her sister Fang Ziyi in this world, and even a little better than her brother Fang Yizhi!

And this incident is also an important reason that touched Fang Ziyi and made Fang Ziyi feel that Yu Guozhen is a good match for him: he does not discriminate against Big Foot at all.

The problem she was most worried about did not exist in Yu Guozhen, and Yu Guozhen was very good to Zining.

"Sister, I heard that Mr. Xiao is writing a letter?"

Deng Deng ran up the embroidery building, Fang Zining snorted and panted, and threw herself directly into Fang Ziyi's arms, giggling.

"Well, yes, you've met Brother Mi?"

"Yes, I was looking at the spring flowers in the garden, and then Brother Mizhi said, Mr. Xiao has a letter!" Fang Zining's big eyes flickered and looked at her sister: "Mr. Xiao's letter, did you mention Zining, sister, say it, say it!" ”

"Aren't you literate yourself, believe it to you, see for yourself."

Fang Ziyi's face was slightly red, even if she was as generous as her, when she mentioned Yu Guozhen, she was still a little shy. She handed the paper to Fang Zining, Fang Zining took a look, and the beginning was "The world sister Ziyi is safe, the little sister is fine", seeing that her name was put together with Fang Ziyi, Fang Zining's heart was beautiful: "Ha, sure enough, the little gentleman and brother are still reading Zining!" ”

But then she frowned slightly: "Why is my sister a boudoir, but people are just fine, and they are clearly everyone's ladies!" ”

Fang Ziyi couldn't help but sneer: "Look at it, if you don't look at it, you will return me." ”

"No, this is a letter from Mr. Xiao's brother to me, and it clearly has my name!" Fang Zining's eyes rolled around: "However, my sister treats me so well...... Let's share Mr. Brother, sister, do you say okay? ”

"What crazy things to say, you can't say this outside!" Fang Ziyi was embarrassed, and gently twisted Zi Lingfan's little face: "It's crazy!" ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Holding her sister's palm, letting her stick it to her soft face, and feeling the temperature of her palm, Fang Zining was in a very happy mood. Her eyes slid over the letter, it was initially some arithmetic discussions, Zi Ning hated arithmetic second only to foot binding, I really don't know why Sister Ziyi is interested in these.

So she skipped over the parts she didn't like, and then went to the natural physics and the like, which she loved to see, and read it with relish, and then she didn't find it happy, and she had to look at it all over again, and then she continued to look back.

Later, he talked about some of what Yu Guozhen had done recently, including the reasons for killing the two Jin merchant representatives.

Confucius emphasized the distinction between Huayi, so although Guan Zhong did not cultivate his private virtues, he was also praised by Confucius. Today's mediocre Confucianism is a vertical son, his words must be called Confucius, his deeds must be contrary to ordinary morality, he forgets the righteousness when he sees small profits, and abandons justice after selfish desires. After the Golden Tartars, they led the beasts to eat people, ruined my territory, and ruined my people. The generations of Fan and Wang, colluding with the Eastern Chieftain, acting for the tiger, privately exploring the truth of the Ming Dynasty, and wanting to be the forerunner of the chieftain, have solid evidence, but because of its great stakes, it cannot be made public for the time being. ”

Although it is reckless, Guozhen also has a plan: one of them clearly tells the world that Guozhen and the Han thief will not stand together; Second, Guozhen is also sure, so that the people behind it dare not compete with Guozhen. ”

Yu Guozhen knows what kind of forces are represented behind the Wang Fan family, those Jin merchants who have taken refuge in Houjin only dare to act secretly in the shadows, and there is no decent backer in the imperial court, even if there is, can he still compare with Yu Guozhen?

"Don't care about some trivial things, disturb the sister, Guozhen is uneasy, before Qingming, he will visit Fushan. Zining's little sister, born with a pure surname, should be given her own surname, do not be restrained. ”

Seeing this last sentence in Fang Zining's eyes, the little girl laughed happily: "The little gentleman and brother are really good, better than the secret brother, he praised me!" ”

"You!" Fang Ziyi couldn't help but screw her again.

But she was also happy in her own heart, like honey, because she knew that Yu Guozhen came this time, not only to pay homage to Fang Kongzhi, but also to faintly reveal the tone when Fang Yizhi brought the letter, and he might propose to the Fang family this time.

Propose.

Who else will there be, a girl of the right age in the Fang family, although there are others, but Fang Ziyi knows that if Yu Guozhen comes to ask for marriage, it must be herself.

As soon as she thought of this, Fang Ziyi's heart kept jumping, Yu Guozhen's attitude towards Zining made her feel that maybe Yu Guozhen would agree to her conditions, the two would not marry first, and when Zining was a little older and decided to get married, she would marry again.

At most, it's three or five years......

"Qingming Festival...... It's almost here, when the time comes, Mr. Little Brother, will he meet his sister in the West Chamber like the genius in the play, then I will be my sister's maid! ”

"What crazy are you talking about! Those indecent dramas, you also go and peek! This time Fang Ziyi was really annoyed: "Fang Zining, you dare to do this!" ”

The boy knew that it was not good, and turned around to escape, but was grabbed by Fang Ziyi, and lay it on his knee, and then there was a horn on his little buttocks.

"People don't dare anymore......" the boy said with tears in his eyes.

Yu Guozhen was indeed going to Fushan before Qingming, in Xiang'an, a hundred miles away, Yu Guozhen raised his head, looked at the sky above his head and sighed with some emotion, Fang Yizhi should have brought his letter to Fang Kongzhi and Fang Ziyi.

However, since this thing has been planned, there is no need to think about it, and there are more things waiting for him to do now.

"Little official, what else do you have to order?" Gao Bu stood respectfully behind him and asked him in a low voice.

"Pay attention to your own safety, this time I went to Qinzhou, everything was stable, and I bought all the land I could buy, whether it was barren mountains or seaside tidal flats. With Mr. Xu's help, I am not worried about this, the only thing I am worried about is whether the locals will resist us. Therefore, in addition to land, you also have to do one thing, which is to make good friends with local people. ”

"Yes."

"Do you remember the two most important things?"

"Yes, the first is to buy land, and the second is to build ships."

"Yes, a good boatsmith, if you can find it, I don't care what method you use, it is better to be deceived and abducted, or to be persuaded with a high salary, you can get as much as you can. In addition, there is one more thing, try to get me a few Francois people, you have to be bold and dare to take risks. ”

"Yes, don't worry, the little officials rest assured, the Francois people have traveled thousands of miles to the ocean, and all of them are outlaws who dare to take risks, by the way, if the person who comes is a Western monk, do you want the little official?"

"Yes, naturally." Yu Guozhen laughed, forgetting that none of the Europeans who dared to venture to the East in this era were good goods, either hooligans driven by gold or spies who opened the way for the church. But at this time, European nationalism was also immature, and Columbus, who was an Italian, could play for Spain, and Yu Guozhen believed that these guys, who only had gold and silver in their eyes, would also be proud to serve China.

The reason why he lamented that he had 200,000 taels of silver in his hand but it was still not enough, the reason was that it was not a problem to recruit one or two Europeans in Daming, but what Yu Guozhen wanted was not one or two Europeans, but to go to Europe to get a large number of craftsmen!

At this time, Europe was already in the precursor of the industrial revolution, and most importantly, they had absorbed the essence from the East in shipbuilding, muskets and other technologies, and they were already the last to come.

Especially for shipbuilding, if Yu Guozhen is given time to cultivate and explore by himself, perhaps in one or two decades, he can also train a group of craftsmen who can make ocean-going artillery galleons, but Yu Guozhen hopes to shorten this time as much as possible.

It's a pity that there are too few people in his hands who can use it, either incompetently or unreliable, but in two more years it will be better, and now the first batch of young guards are already grinding, and in another two years, most of them will be able to take charge on their own.

"In the past two years, I have to work hard, and the matter of Qinzhou is extremely important, so to speak, I put our net worth and surname on you." Thinking of this, Yu Guozhen said softly: "Old Gao, take care." ”

"Yes, if the petty official has no other instructions, Lao Gao will go. Dazhu's mother is not very reasonable, and she also asks the petty officials to bear with her. ”

"Hehe, rest assured...... Oh, Lao Gao, remember to pay attention to hygiene, don't drink raw water, and beware of the heat. Yu Guozhen said again.

These words moved Gao Bupang's heart a little, he took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Guozhen, and then jumped into the boat.
