The Mansion of the Duke of Wei. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the study room of the main house, Xu Jiye was dressed in a Su embroidered brocade robe, standing tall in front of a thick redwood square table, with a pair of sand tables spread out on the table, he held a scroll in one hand, staring at the neatly placed wooden chess pieces on the sand table with a serious face, suddenly reached out and grabbed a moment to put it down, suddenly shook his head, and put it back again. Not far from his side, there was a sandalwood incense burner, and the deep and fragrant wisps of green smoke continued to spread in the bookstore, lingering around Xu Jiye, setting off his figure with a hazy color.

In front of the square table, the stewards stood solemnly, waiting patiently.

"You mean, it's sold out?" Xu Jiye grabbed the chess piece again, stared at the sand table, and asked casually.

"Yes."

"Shen Mo's handwriting?" Xu Jiye opened his mouth to ask, and suddenly shook his head and said, "No, this kid is very good." The imperial court has been in good weather in recent years, and Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, he will not hoard grain in any business, not to mention that this time he has been hoarding rice for a year, and it will not be him who will lose money or make money by buying so much Chen Gu. Lao Wan, have you checked, where has the food been sent? ”

Manager Wan drooped his head and replied lightly: "I can't find out, I only know that the grain purchased from various channels was finally collected in Shanghai County and loaded on the ship to go to sea." ”

Out to sea? It's a strange thing.

The food and salary of the military garrison in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River were distributed by the Wu Wangfu with taxes, but the 180,000 troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, this burden was not borne by the Wu Wangfu, and since it was stationed in Jinling, the army was self-sufficient in the form of Tuntian. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, which is very suitable for the growth of grains, and the annual harvest will be sold in the form of commercial grain, except for the army to use it for grain hoarding.

But this kind of sale is not easy, Jiangnan is a place of grain production, plus most of the grain sold by the Governor's Mansion is from the granary replaced by old rice, even if the price is low, the sales are still quite difficult, most of the people are more remote and poor, where the people do not want fresh, only for food and clothing.

It takes about half a year for the grain to be digested in the market, and now it has been sold out in just over half a month, which can't help but make Xu Jiye pay attention.

Food is too sensitive, it can feed the people, but it can also feed the army. Xu Jiye is a leading commander, and his eyes are naturally more inclined to military supplies, who wants to store grain? Why stockpile? He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he also secretly kept an eye on it.

"Anything else?"

"Yes. Last year, when the little grandfather led someone to hurt Xue Dujun, the court's order arrived, and the little grandfather was asked to go to Beijing to accept the crime, and the old slave estimated that he was afraid that he would be reprimanded. ”

"Don't go!" Xu Jiye replied categorically: "There is nothing wrong with this matter. Not to mention Xue Chengkai, even his old man in the military department has no right to point fingers at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. If he wasn't killed, this kid was hard-willed, and he wanted the heir to go to Beijing to accept the crime? There are no doors. If the court wants to condemn the crime, you can come to Jinling, and the old man will report this matter to Your Majesty, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Yes, there's one more thing. Zhennan Wangfu sent someone to ask for a family for the prince of Zhennan, this time I came to visit your grandfather, if you don't object, the dowry will come immediately. ”

"Wan Ting?"

"Yes."

"Heh, there are really people who are not afraid of death." Xu Jiye smiled, shook his head and said, "Push it." There are still a few days left to get married, and since it has been decided to marry King Wu, there is not much else to think about. After all, the king of Zhennan is the grandson's person, and he marries at both ends, and my governor's mansion will only end up being a person inside and out, and both ends will be offended, so there is no need for this. ”

"The old slave will do it immediately."

"Well, go ahead. Recently, we have paid attention to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and if there is another large-scale purchase of grain, we must find out who did it. ”

"The old slave obeys."

Steward Wan bowed, turned and exited the room. Xu Jiye moved his gaze to the sand table again, pondering, and before he could mention it, a figure walked into the house. Xu Jiye looked up and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why do you have time to go home today?" ”

Xu Huanting walked to the side by herself, poured herself a glass of water, drank it all, wiped her mouth, and replied lightly: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"I'm your father! Can't you change your attitude? When he saw his daughter, Xu Jiye became angry! This girl always looks kind to outsiders, making people feel like a spring breeze at first sight, and when she returns home to see her father, she feels like someone owes her 1.8 million taels of silver, her eyes are not eyes, and her nose is not her nose.

I thought I had offended her somewhere, but after a long time, I found out that the dead girl was just this stinky temper and dead morality! Outside, he can act better than a play, and when he gets home, his true nature is all exposed, and he has no intention of covering it up.

"I just said that the Zhennan Mansion sent someone to intend to marry our family, what do you think about this?"

"Isn't the eldest brother about to get married? How? He Zhennan Wang plans to let his daughter be a little for his eldest brother? ”

"Is it possible?" Xu Jiye blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "It's their family who wants to marry you." ”

"Oh." Xu Huanting suddenly realized, she nodded and said, "How far is it, let him roll far." ”

"How do you talk!" Xu Jiye was furious.

"That's it, what do you want?"

"Believe it or not, the old man pumped you!"

"Give it a try? Are you still moving, old arms and legs? ”

"Let's go! You let me go! If I say one more word to you, the old man will be angry. Xu Jiye took a deep breath. Go back to your barracks. ”

"I don't need you to say that I have to go." Xu Huanting's eyes flashed, and she said, "I heard that Lie let people ride?" ”

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Jiye faintly felt that something was wrong.

"It's good to be able to ride, and I'll take it away when I turn around."

"You dare!"

"You see if I dare."

Xu Jiye sighed, looking at the entire Great Zhou court, who would dare to talk to him like this? A dignified grandfather with a heavy army in his hands can't hold his daughter, and if he wants to say this, his old face will be lost.

"Want a horse? Also become. Xu Jiye raised his hand and pointed to the sand table. Deduction a game, if you can win, Lie will send you. ”

When Xu Huanting heard this, she looked up at the sand table, and said with a disdainful expression: "Okay! But if I win, I'll take the groom with me, and I'll take the groom with me. I told my eldest brother before, but I don't want to wait now. ”

"It's up to you." Xu Jiye was high-spirited and said proudly: "Come, let you see the power of the old man today!" ”

-------------------------------

An hour later, the main gate of the Guogong Mansion was opened, and a beautiful fiery red figure merged with the horse under the crotch, and rushed towards the city gate like lightning. Not long after, Jiang Yun, who was at home on vacation, received a transfer document stamped with the seal of the Duke of Wei.

Jiang Yun was promoted to the Yamen of the Fifth Army, from the sixth rank of Duzan, entered the Chinese Army, Xuanwu Battalion, and served as a captain under General Wu Yi. At midnight tomorrow, I will report to the barracks.

After Jiang Yun received the order, he was stunned for a long time. Before the brother had rested, the sister came over again, and this combination of punches made him defenseless. Seeing that there are still a few days before Ji Luo's wedding, don't make any trouble at this juncture.

Lao Xu is obviously a very kind person, how can the children born not inherit half of his advantages? Jiang Yun sighed helplessly. According to his original meaning, he just wanted to hang up a spare post in the yamen of the Fifth Army, leisurely and leisurely hold the information with Yulu, and think about how to establish a new espionage system in his spare time, once he found Jiang Zhu'er, he immediately took his daughter-in-law and ran away.

He's busy! Where did you come from this idle time to enter the barracks? Jiang Yun has been a soldier and knows the hardships in the barracks, after coming out for so many years, he has long been unaccustomed to living that kind of life, once the bones are loosened, it will be difficult to tighten them again.

But the order is just around the corner, and unless he rolls up the bed and leaves, he really has no right to refuse. After thinking about it, I couldn't find a way to rely on it, so I had no choice but to accept my fate.

Fortunately, it's not all bad, at least it's worth celebrating if you get promoted. (To be continued.) )
