Time slipped through my fingertips, and at some point, the two swaying figures in the festively furnished bedroom stopped. Looking through the window, the two people were no longer visible.

After a short time, there was a faint sound of breathing in the room.

When the last candle went out, there was silence in the room, except for the faint sound of breathing.

The spring night is short, and the sky is already bright in a flash.

The golden sunlight poured into the bedroom through the window, like gold paving the floor, shining brightly. Li Zhen showed his strong chest bare-chested, Zhilan leaned against Li Zhen, there was still a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes, but there was a faint smile on her face. Li Zhen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhilan who was sleeping peacefully next to him, and a touch of pity flashed in his eyes.

This woman will stay with him until he is old.

Li Zhen's mind came up with the beautiful scene of last night, and he smiled evilly. Zhilan went from being jerky at the beginning to being enthusiastic at the end, and quickly adapted to the process. He looked at Zhilan next to him, at this time Zhilan was wearing a big red mandarin duck belly pocket, although it covered the softness of her chest, she still revealed her skin as white as jade.

Li Zhen gently kissed Zhilan on the forehead, ready to get up.

"Wow!!"

Zhilan groaned and opened her eyes.

Seeing the golden sunlight shining in, Zhilan rubbed her sour eyes, showed an anxious look on her face, and hurriedly said: "It's dawning, and you still have to give my sister tea, hurry, get up immediately." As she spoke, Zhilan prepared to get up. But last night, the two of them exercised too intensely, so that as soon as Zhilan sat up, there was a burst of pain in her lower body.

"Shhh Hiss! ”

Zhilan gasped a few times and looked at Li Zhen with disgust.

"Daughter-in-law, wronged!" Li Zhen exclaimed: "When the two of us were together last night, you also participated, and you were very happy to ride on me." Now complain to me, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Zhilan's face turned red and she was speechless.

In terms of face, ten Zhilan can't compare to Li Zhen, she was defeated by Li Zhen's words.

Zhilan glanced at Li Zhen resentfully, and said, "Husband, don't be poor, hurry up and wash up, and go to give my sister tea is the right thing." I know my sister won't blame, but these small details still need to be paid attention to. ”

Li Zhen picked up Zhilan and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

He took the ordinary clothes that Zhilan usually wore and took the initiative to put them on Zhilan, and this process inevitably required oil. The two of you and I are very affectionate.

After getting dressed neatly, Li Zhencai shouted: "Someone! ”

As the words fell, the door creaked open.

Zhilan's maid Dong'er walked in and saluted with a smile: "Uncle is early, Miss is early!" Dong'er followed Zhilan from Beijing to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to Guangzhou, which also witnessed the process of Zhilan and Li Zhen getting married. Seeing Li Zhen and Zhilan's affection and love after they got married, I was sincerely happy.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Dong'er, go fetch water, Zhilan and I will wash up immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Dong'er turned to leave, and quickly brought washing utensils. After Li Zhen and Zhilan finished washing, they left the bedroom and walked towards the courtyard where Li Xiaotong lived. After the two entered the courtyard, they came directly to the hall and gave Li Xiaotong tea.

Li Xiaotong finished drinking the tea with a satisfied look on his face.

She stared at Zhilan for a while, and said, "Brother and sister, you and your brother are married, you are the woman of the Li family, and you want to spread the branches and leaves for the Li family." Have a big fat boy early, understand? ”

Li Zhen rolled his eyes, my sister can really say anything!

Zhilan blushed her cheeks, lowered her head slightly, and nodded gently, but she was a little shy. Although she successfully transformed into a young woman, she was ashamed to speak up in the face of Li Xiaotong's problem. The corners of Li Zhen's mouth were hooked, and he said with a smile: "Sister, Zhilan and I let it be, you should open up the branches and leaves of the old Wang family earlier." ”

Li Xiaotong glared at Li Zhen, changed the topic, and chatted with Zhilan again, excluding Li Zhen.

The two chatted hotly, but Li Zhen was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was very uncomfortable.

Half an hour later, Zhilan got up to say goodbye and left with Li Zhen. On the way back to the courtyard, Zhilan was full of energy, her eyebrows fluttering, and she looked very happy.

Back in the courtyard, Zhilan happily recorded what she said to Li Xiaotong.

Li Xiaotong and Zhilan almost all of what they said were about children, and Zhilan carefully recorded them in her heart. Because she understands that Li Zhen can't be the only woman herself, especially Gu Lina, Zhou Xiuying, and Alice sisters are already living in the house, and it is a matter of time before she and Li Zhen become married, and having a child is fundamental.

Zhilan had heard this from her mother's mouth.

Li Zhen had nothing to do in the courtyard, sat quietly, and thought about the next development. It stands to reason that when the flood in Guangzhou was resolved, Li Zhen also became the governor and concurrently served as the governor of Guangdong. But Li Zhen is obviously not satisfied with this, because his goal is still far away, and there must be further development.

Li Zhen's mind drifted to the construction of the army, since the last time he was equipped with grenades, mines and the like in Shanghai, the weapons have not been optimized and improved.

Li Zhen wanted to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and his eyes stayed on the guns.

The development of firearms is the best shortcut to increase the strength of the army. Most of the bullets used in today's firearms are paper-loaded bullets, not metal cartridge shells that were commonly used in later generations. Li Zhen thought about transforming the current firearms, it was not difficult to transform them, as long as he told Dai Yuanhua the basics, I believe that Dai Yuanhua would definitely be able to complete it.

Li Zhen had an idea, got up and walked towards the study.

He had to write down what was in his mind so that he could improve the weapons of the army.

"Bang! Bang!! ”

Li Zhengang sat down, and before he could lift his pen, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the study. Immediately, Liu Taiping's voice sounded: "My lord, the old man has something urgent to report." ”

"Come in!" Li Zhen said.

The door was pushed open, and Liu Taiping hurriedly walked in.

Li Zhen asked, "Sir, what's the matter?" ”

After Liu Taiping sat down, with a sad look on his face, he said solemnly: "The old man just went to check the cost of getting married, and found that the cost was not much, and he received a lot of gift money. However, I went through this month's records and found a serious problem. For a long time, the money in the treasury has been beyond its means, and the construction of hospitals and arsenals has consumed countless amounts of money, and if it continues, I am afraid that after this year, the treasury will be empty. ”

Li Zhen frowned and said: "When we were in Shanghai, by confiscating the property of Yang Fang and Yang Nengge, we also earned the compensation of Bullong and others, and earned tens of millions of silver, have they all been consumed?" ”

Liu Taiping said lightly: "You only think about your income, no matter how much you use." Shanghai opened an arsenal, built a hospital, and had thousands of soldiers' weapons, which cost countless sums of money every day, which is not a small amount. Coupled with other miscellaneous things, it is even more money-saving. It is estimated that it can support about four months, and it must be open source to make money. ”

Li Zhen took a deep breath and had a look of embarrassment on his face.

To make money, make a lot of money!

It's just that with the business of Gulina and Alice's sisters, it obviously won't work. Moreover, the arsenal is all about manufacturing weapons to satisfy the army, and there is no money from the sale of weapons.

What to do?

Li Zhen sat quietly and began to think slowly.

ps: The second update, this one was written for four hours, it's really slow, mainly considering the later text, a bit of a cardin.
