The successful development of the flintlock pistol made Liu Fan's heart full of joy, and the depression of many days was also swept away, and the whole person seemed to be filled with excitement and joy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As Liu Fan's wife, Zhang Yao couldn't help but ask after seeing Liu Fan so happy, "Husband, what is so happy?" Let's be happy to say it, right? ”

"That's it, that's it!" Shuying also helped on the side and said, "You see that the husband's mouth is about to grin to the back of his head, there must be some great joy, does the husband think that he is going to marry Bing'er's sister into the door?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Bing'er was a little surprised when she saw that the topic suddenly shifted to herself, and hurriedly defended, "How can there be, Lord Sun called the overseer just now, Bing'er guesses that there is some good news in the arsenal!" ”

"Bing'er is right" Seeing that his two wives seemed to be jealous, Liu Fan hurriedly explained, "It's good news from the arsenal, just now I went to see that our Broken Army has a new weapon, flintlock pistol!" ”

"Flintlock pistol?" Zhang Yao and Shuying glanced at each other, and finally put their minds at ease. They were really afraid that Liu Fan would marry Liu Bing'er into the door recently. Although the two admire Liu Bing'er's friendship with Liu Fan, as a woman and wife, deep down, they are still unwilling to have one more person to share their husband.

"Hmm!" Liu Fan nodded again and again, "It's a flintlock pistol, this kind of musket is fired with flint, which saves the trouble of the arquebus, which is of great help for marching operations, and the rate of fire is much faster than the arquebus, it is a rare weapon in the army, with it our strength will be enhanced a lot!" ”

"Really? That's great," Shuying and Zhang Yao were also very happy to hear the news. The strength of the Broken Army means that Liu Fan is strong, as Liu Fan's wife, the status and strength of the husband are improved, so their future will be more secure.

With a roll of her eyes, Shuying said coquettishly, "Since it's a big event, then you have to celebrate anything!" Since the Chinese New Year, our house has not been lively for a long time, I think it is better to call a few friends to be happy? ”

Indeed, such a great event should be celebrated. Sister Ying'er's house will be handed over to you, I will invite the guests, let's work together, we must make the atmosphere up. How about Sister Bing'er, you can help too! Zhang Yao's eyes lit up when she saw Liu Bing'er standing on the side, and then took her arm and said enthusiastically

"I, can I?" Liu Bing'er asked with a little stammer

"Of course, you are also a member of our house, how can you be so happy and untouched? Let's do it together! ”

Seeing that the two of them decided the matter in a few words, Liu Fan on the side was a little dumbfounded. Looking at the three girls who seemed to be completely immersed in the discussion, Liu Fan raised his hand and hesitated for a moment before putting it down. It's rare for them to be happy, so let them go! With a wry smile and shaking his head, Liu Fan quietly slipped out of the room and walked towards the study, as a man, he really couldn't participate in these short things in the family.

In the study, Liu Fan dealt with some accumulated official duties, and heard Li Xiaohu knock on the door and say, "Overseer, Zhao Bo is here, saying that there is something important to report to you!" ”

Liu Fan raised his head and replied, "Let him in!" ”

He personally poured two cups of tea, handed them to the two of them, and said, "How is Zhao Bo?" Is the matter settled in Laizhou? ”

"Not yet!" Zhao Bo shook his head and said, "I want to report to you, I want to report to you, I know that the changes in Laizhou seem to have the shadow of King De and the Kong family in Shandong, according to the news from the secret agent, the Kong family is secretly encouraging the people to rise up against us by its influence." ”

"The Kong family? King of Germany? Liu Fan's eyes froze, he didn't have time to find their trouble, but he didn't expect people to come to the door. Liu Fan is still very clear about the influence of the Confucian family, as a descendant of a saint, the Confucian family has a very high prestige in the entire Ming Dynasty, and wanting to deal with the Confucian family means opposing the scholars all over the world. Liu Fan doesn't have that much strength for such a thing. As for King De's involvement in the clan, it is a troublesome matter in itself, and it is really not easy to think of revenge on them!

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "What do you think about this?" ”

Zhao Bo replied cautiously, "In my humble opinion, now that Laizhou has been decided, it is really not easy to provoke these two behemoths. Once there is any head-on conflict, it will be very detrimental to our current development. I don't think it's better to grasp the small and enlarge, just cut off its minions in Laizhou immediately. Without the help of those dogs, even if the influence of the Kong family is great, it will not help, as long as we complete the land reform completely, even if the Kong family is powerful, we will not be able to shake our foundation in Laizhou. ”

Liu Fan nodded in agreement, "The idea is very good, but I am afraid it is not easy to implement." Since the Kong family has made a move, they will not be unprepared, so let's go to Zhu Dadian to visit him in a few days, ask him to go out and make peace, and buy you a little time. In the past few days, I have collected a lot of information, and when I start to go to Jinan Mansion, you will do it, and you must catch it all, understand? ”

"Yes, the lowly knows what to do!" Zhao Bo replied respectfully

"Well, that's it for now, you can return to Laizhou immediately to start this matter. Ten days later, I will leave for Jinanfu, how about enough time? ”

Zhao Bo replied without hesitation, "Enough, the humble position will definitely live up to the trust of the overseers, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation in ten days." ”

After Zhao Bo left, Liu Fan's mood became heavy, although Liu Fan knew that he would have to face the two local snakes of King De and the Kong family in Shandong sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so early. Originally, according to Liu Fan's idea, the Kong family would only make a move when his peasant association gradually infiltrated half of Shandong. Unexpectedly, people actually made a strong start, and it seems that he still underestimated the influence of land reform on Shandong and its surrounding areas.

Zhao Bo's analysis is very correct, now is not the time to conflict with the Kong family and others, even if Liu Fan wants to retaliate, he can't make a move openly, that would be too bad for himself. You have to find a reasonable excuse to give in order not to be truthful, otherwise Chongzhen will not help herself. What excuse? Liu Fan fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Fan didn't think of a reasonable excuse, whether it was a bandit rebellion or a riot among the people, it was too low to use it to deal with the Kong family. And what makes Liu Fan jealous the most is that once the big snake does not die, it means that he will completely tear his face with the Kong family, and at that time, I am afraid that the broken army will become the target of public criticism. Get caught up in endless trouble. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Fan decided to put up with this breath for the time being! (To be continued.) )
