Uh, this old fox......

Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh that this Ning Yi was really a businessman through and through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, this is also human nature, after all, the weaving level of Nanzhili and Fujian is not bad, especially in Susong and Song, and there are only a lot more excellent weavers than Zhejiang Province. In this case, Ning Yi is afraid of competition and does not understand.

After all, in addition to the loom, silk cloth is woven by the level of the weaver. If the homogenization is serious, then the competition will be very fierce.

"Don't worry, since Xie assured you that this is a Zhejiang Provincial concession, he will not promise to the rest of the places within three years. This is true in Fujian, and so is Nanzhili. ”

Ning Yi stroked his beard and looked at Xie Shen steadily, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, he was smiling.

"Haha, that little old man will be a lobbyist for Siming."

Xie Shen secretly slandered in his heart, he was really invincible. It was obviously something that was beneficial to the merchants themselves, as if Xie Shen had taken advantage of them.

"Then thank you to the old man."

Xie Shen arched his hand and gave Ning Yi enough face.

He believes that with Ningyi's energy, there is nothing that cannot be done in the business community of Zhejiang Province.

"Ahem, Xie won't bother the old man and say goodbye."

"Siming, it's not easy for you to come to Hangzhou once, why are you in such a hurry to leave, stay and have a light meal."

Well, isn't this old guy doing something crooked?

For Ning Yi, the old fox, Xie Shen really couldn't rest assured.

"What the old man said is right, then Xie will bother him."

The life of wealthy merchants in Jiangnan is extremely luxurious, which can be seen from the three meals.

Ning Yi recruited more than a dozen celebrity chefs from major restaurants in Hangzhou, all of whom cooked for him. I'm afraid that this pomp can only be compared with His Majesty the Emperor, who is deep in the Nine Folds.

Lunch was used in the Leshan Hall in the back garden of Ningfu, looking at the plates of delicacies brought up, Xie Shen's tongue was astringent.

Alas, it's really nice to be rich.

Over the years, he has earned a total of 120,000 taels of silver, which is Ning Yi's income in a year.

Sure enough, in response to that sentence, people are more popular than death.

According to the tradition of Jiangnan people, it is first served with cold fighting, then hot dishes, and finally finished with soup.

Xie Shen took a piece of red vinegar balls and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The juice is so rich that it fills the mouth for a while.

"The old man is really enjoying it, this kind of life is not changed even if it is a fairy."

Xie Shen is not false when he says this, although Ning Zhai is not the largest in Hangzhou, it is definitely the most exquisite.

This garden alone is an exquisite garden, not only with rockery ponds, pavilions, and even an earthen mountain.

This dirt mountain is formed by Ning Yi's people digging up a large amount of West Lake silt and accumulating it, and it is planted with trees, flowers and plants, and paved with stone steps up and down the mountain.

Ning Yi even built a pavilion on the top of the mountain, called Canglang Pavilion.

Standing in the pavilion, you can overlook most of the scenery of Hangzhou City, and you can enjoy it.

"Haha, Si Ming praised it. People don't live for a hundred years, so they can be worthy of themselves if they are happy. ”

Ning Yi took a sip of rice wine and said quietly: "Speaking of which, the little old man still envies Siming." ”

"The old man envy Xie for his hard work all his life."

There was a sour feeling between Xie Shen's words, and Ning Yi coughed and said, "Haha, the little old man doesn't have a chance to work hard." ”

While talking and laughing, the two finished lunch together.

Ning Yi invited Xie Shen to climb the mountain and look into the distance, but Xie Shen naturally did not refuse.

But it was said that a host and a guest walked up the stairs and came to the Canglang Pavilion on the top of the mountain to sit down.

Looking out from afar by the railing, you can not only see the rows of houses in Hangzhou City, but also the West Lake.

Xie Shenxin said, brother, you really know how to play, you can enjoy the scenery of Hangzhou without leaving home.

At this moment, Xie Shen vaguely saw a woman in the bushes of Tushan, and was about to ask a question, but Ning Yuanwai preemptively said, "This is a little girl, Xun'er." ”

Xie Shen was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted. This garden belongs to the back house, and Miss Ning Fu can naturally come and go at will.

Maybe this garden was built by Ning Yuanwai for his beloved daughter.

"Xun'er, come and see Master Xie."

Miss Ning walked out of the bushes at this time, and walked to Xie Shen shyly and saluted: "The little woman has seen an adult." ”

Xie Shen looked at this Miss Ning family carefully, and saw that this Ning Xun'er was wearing a royal blue skirt, willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.

Just looking at the appearance, it is naturally first-class.

"Miss Ning doesn't have to be polite."

Xie Shen helped Ning Xun'er up and said quietly: "Miss Ning's flower and moon appearance are not inferior to Xi Shilai, I don't know which son is lucky enough to marry Miss Ning." ”

Ning Xun'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and bit her lip tightly.

Xie Shen said in his heart, didn't he say the wrong thing......

"Ahem, the little girl is still unmarried."

Xie Shen said no, look at this Ning Xun'er is already in her twenties, she is already an older leftover girl, even if she is not married, at least she should be engaged.

With the financial resources of the Ning family, any son-in-law he wants to recruit can get his wish.

Even if Ning Yi wants to recruit a son-in-law, it will be an easy matter.

"The little girl has always had someone in her heart, so the old man is not easy to force."

As if seeing what Xie Shen was thinking, Ning Yi explained on the side.

Obediently, it's actually someone on purpose.

"What a blessing that man is."

Xie Shen praised casually.

"It's just that I'm afraid that person has no intention of the little girl."

Ning Yuanwai kept staring at Xie Shen when he said this, and looked at Xie Shen a little hairy. That person doesn't appreciate the trouble you went to find that person, why do you keep staring at me?

It took him a long time to react, this Ning Yuanwai said that Ning Xun'er's favorite person wouldn't be himself, right......

"Siming, the old man pulled down this old face for Xun'er this time, please marry her."

No way!

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Xie Shen feels like the male protagonist in an online novel, and he is lucky all the time.

Thinking about it more than ten years ago, when Xie Shen was still a little talented, he once took the initiative to visit Ningyuanwai in order to develop the tea business. At that time, Ning Yuanwai had vaguely hinted to Xie Shen that he hoped to marry his daughter to him.

I have to say that Ning Yuanwai's eyes are really vicious, and he actually saw that Xie Shen must be soaring.

At that time, Xie Shen did hesitate, but finally refused.

Now that time has passed, I can't imagine that the Ning family has not forgotten this matter......

How should I take this?

Xie Shen has already married now, and the children can go to sell wine, but how can he marry Miss Ning?

Is it possible to let Miss Ning be a concubine?

Although the Ning family is not a scholarly family or an official family, it is also a first-class wealthy family.

Ning Yuanwai even held Ning Xun'er in the palm of his hand and loved him very much.

It shouldn't be possible for him to accept Ning Xun'er as a concubine, right?

Besides, Xie Shen really has no feelings for this Miss Ning.

......

......

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

It can be seen that Ning Yuanwai has been prepared this time, and he lured Xie Shen step by step.

When Xie Shen reacted, he found that he had already entered the trap of the Ning family's father and daughter.

Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh secretly, why did this Ning Yuanwai stare at him.

Hangzhou is the capital of Sanwu, prosperous, and there are countless talents, and it is not beautiful to choose a son-in-law at random......

This Ning Xun'er is too, whatever her father says, she will do what she does, she really bites her mouth and doesn't let go.

Xie Shen is not an abusive person, the reason why he married Shui Yun and Erya is because he has made a promise, and it is also a manifestation of responsibility. Isn't my fair lady also confiscated? Of course, Xie Shen thinks that this can be ...... in the future

As for an emotionless woman like Ning Xun'er, Xie Shen really can't do it.

"Ahem, the old man is laughing outside. Xie and Ling Aisu have not met, and they are talking about marriage. ”

Can't let go, this is a matter of principle, absolutely can't let go!

Xie Shen's grief and indignation turned into strength, and he said categorically.

"Idiot, which one is going to marry you!"

Ning Xun'er's eyes were full of tears, and she turned her head and walked down the mountain.

"Xun'er!"

Ning Yi felt a pain in his heart, and wanted to stop his daughter, but Ning Xun'er went down the mountain without looking back.

"Ning Yuanwai, Xie can't stand you in this matter. However, long pain is better than short pain. Xie and Ling Ai are impossible. ”

Xie Shen looked at Ning Yi with a guilty face, hoping to get the other party's understanding.

If this incident affects the plan to raise silver taels, then Xie Shenke will be unlucky.

Fortunately, Ning was very professional outside of the company, and he did not pull down his face because of Xie Shen's refusal.

He sighed and said, "Little Lao'er knows that Siming is in a high position now, and my Ning family is not worthy of you." However, the little girl fell in love with Siming at first sight, and the little old man was worried that she would not be able to stand this blow. ”

Love at first sight? No way!

It shouldn't be that little Lori peeping at him in the house more than ten years ago.

Thinking that this stupid girl had waited for him for more than ten years and had never married, Xie Shen felt guilty again.

"If there is something that needs to be explained by Xie, Ning Yuanwai can speak bluntly. I believe that Ling Ai will understand. ”

Ning Yi nodded and said with a wry smile: "Tell Siming to see the joke." ”

Xie Shen hurriedly waved his hand: "Where, where." ”

It would be too embarrassing to continue chatting, so Xie Shen hurriedly gave up.

Leaving Ningfu, Xie Shen went to the annex of Governor Wu Zhen.

This is not to visit Governor Wu's illness, but some details of the conscription need to be discussed with him.

In the final analysis, it was Wu Zhen, the governor, who was coordinating the affairs of Zhejiang Province.

But he said that Governor Wu pretended to be sick and pretended to be bitter. The imperial doctor sent by the Son of Heaven alone scared him into a cold sweat.

If the imperial doctor sees the clue and returns to the Son of Heaven that Governor Wu is pretending to be sick, Wu Zhen will not only be unable to protect himself, but his head may fall off.

Bullying the king is a serious crime, and Wu Zhen is not enough to cut off even if he has ten heads.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor did not get to the bottom of it, and only replied to the Son of Heaven that Wu Zhen was sick from hard work.

In this way, Wu Zhen was lucky to escape.

But why did Xiao Ge Lao come with him again?

Could it be that he Wu Zhen is so important, and everyone will not be able to do anything without him?

Wu Zhen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he had to go back to the bedroom and lie on the bed and continue to pretend to be sick.

When Xie Shen was invited to Wu Zhen's bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which should have just been boiled.

Xie Shenxin said in his heart, this Governor Wu is really hard enough, this is the rhythm of becoming an actor.

"Is Brother Songhe's illness better?"

Xie Shen walked to the head of Wu Zhen's bed and asked with concern.

"Ahem......"

Wu Zhen coughed a few times dryly, and lamented: "The arrival of the boss of the small pavilion has made the cold house shine." Xia Guan was sick and couldn't get up to greet him, and asked the elder Xiaoge to forgive him. ”

Tsk, this is going to be played to the end, this Wu Zhen is not only good at acting but also quite dedicated.

Xie Shen said in a deep voice: "Whatever Brother Songhe said, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

Wu Zhen replied with a suppressed voice.

Xie Shen said in his heart, this Wu Zhen will not plan to pretend to be sick until Emperor Zhengde leaves Hangzhou, right?

"Today, in addition to visiting Brother Songhe's illness, Xie Mou also wants to discuss something with Brother Songhe."

Wu Zhen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this.

Lao Tzu is "sick" like this, you still don't let me go, what humanity is there!

Of course, Xie Shen didn't know what Wu Zhen was thinking, and said to himself: "It's for the conscription." ”

Wu Zhen was stunned.

Conscription?

As far as he knows, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all hereditary.

The so-called Lao Tzu is a hero, and Lao Tzu is a bastard.

The children who serve as soldiers are also military households, and they must continue to serve as soldiers, and their children and grandchildren will pass them on from generation to generation.

Since the ancestor has already stipulated the candidates to be soldiers, why did he come to conscription, did he want to recruit soldiers in the middle and late Tang Dynasty?

Xie Shen saw that Governor Wu was at a loss, so he explained: "Brother Songhe doesn't know, Your Majesty has already made a decision on this matter to establish a new army on the basis of the military household system, and this new army is recruited from ordinary people. ”

Call!

Wu Zhen understood now.

It's really a recruitment!

"I wonder where His Majesty has decided to recruit you?"

Wu Zhen asked tentatively.

Xie Shen said with a smile: "It is basically recruited from various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as it is a civilian nationality and there is no record of robbery, you can sign up." ”

Belch......

Now Wu Zhen knew why Xie Shen came to him to discuss.

Although the scope of this Jiangnan is wide, it basically refers to Nanzhili and Zhejiang Province.

It seems that he can't escape the task of presiding over the work.

"I don't know what the lower officials can do?"

In line with the mentality of doing more wrong, doing less wrong, and not doing good, Wu Zhen asked symbolically.

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple, Brother Songhe only needs to pass the order to the chief officials of the prefectures and counties." Xie will send people to various places to recruit. ”

Conscription is only the first step, the next training is the most important.

Therefore, Xie Shen did not make too many requirements for the soldiers who participated in the conscription.

Sometimes a blank sheet of paper is easier to render than an old fritter, which has already formed a habit, and there will be a lot of resistance to changing it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that anyone can participate in the draft, at least not if they are weak nerds or physically disabled.

Although the new army mainly uses muskets to line up, it still needs to have basic physical fitness, otherwise it will become the weakest link in field battles, and it may be broken through at any time.

"This is simple, and the subordinate can order it to go down."

"Wait!"

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Before that, Xie has one more thing to ask for. ”

"Little Pavilion Elder, please command."

"Brother Songhe, can you seconded me the officers of the Hangzhou Mansion Thousand Households?"

"It's simple, I'll write a letter, and Xiao Ge Lao can take it and explain it to him."

Wu Zhen thought it was something, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, and let out a long breath and said.

......
