8-14 When the messenger meets Fanzi
In the study room of the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion, the electric fan with cork blades rotated unhurriedly on the ceiling, and Liu Xiaomei sat on the beam, constantly catching the red rope tied to the fan blades with her hands, very attentive, and did not care about the ongoing family meeting below.
Sitting next to the desk, Liu Ziguang and the Peng sisters each had a bottle of iced Coke in front of them, Han Xue'er stood next to her with a silver plate, and the plate contained mahjong-sized ice cubes for people to use, and they were discussing disaster relief.
"This time, the iron factory took out so much silver that it didn't even have the money to buy coal, fortunately, several coal mines that were familiar with each other could pay on credit, otherwise it would have been cut off." Peng Jingrong said.
"The country is in great difficulty, the husband is responsible, I Liu Ziguang started from scratch, and today's step of the field is to repay the society, besides, people at my level are watching every move, who doesn't know that Liguo Iron Works is my asset, if I don't donate a corresponding amount, how can I see people in the future? Don't you know that Wang Jiu, that guy only donated eight hundred taels, his name is in the drunken immortal building, hanging for several floors, all of which are abusive, and people will have to call him Wang Ba in the future. Liu Ziguang said.
"He deserves it, the old guy is too stingy, or my brother-in-law is generous, it's 200,000 taels." Peng Jingwei said.
"If the silver is donated, you can earn it again, but if you die, there will be no hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the disaster area, you will have no food and clothing, and you are struggling on the verge of death. I have decided that when the flood is brought under control, I will give at least 1 million taels to support the disaster area. Liu Ziguang said lightly, as if one million taels was just a small number that was not worth mentioning.
"One million taels!" The Peng sisters were amazed at the same time, this is almost the sum of all the flowing water of the Liguo Iron Works and the Jiangnan Shipyard, and the production of the factory will definitely come to a standstill if they take out these silver factories.
"Yes, one million taels can still be taken out, with my face, the purchase of all kinds of raw materials can be credited, the silver of the Ministry of Industry can also be received in advance, as the so-called taken from the people, for the people, I earn so much silver, is it hidden in the cellar, mold, in the end, it will be used on the people, of course, I will personally use this silver, build schools and factories in the disaster area, reclaim the land, and relieve the victims." Liu Ziguang talked eloquently, which made the Peng sisters from time to time feel that their father-in-law (brother-in-law) was really a hero with the world in mind.
Not only were they surprised, but Han Xue'er, the big girl who was waiting next to her, was also secretly frightened, last year under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the northern provinces were prone to drought, the imperial court not only did not release grain for disaster relief, but also sent troops to search for food in the disaster area to fill the army food, at that time she once asked her father, father just sighed and said, you are still young, you don't understand this, and then Suo Etu told her that the real hero will not have the kindness of a woman, those disaster victims were originally bandits, and the Han bandits who were not familiar with the Han people could not be given food, and they could not be given food, so they starved to death, and these lands really belonged to the Qing Dynasty.
Why is the statement of Father and Suo Etu so different from Liu Ziguang? Han Xue'er knew that the land of Huguang was not under the jurisdiction of the Ming court, those Li people were Zuo Liangyu's people, drowning them and starving to death could only weaken Zuo Liangyu's strength, why were the court and Liu Ziguang in such a hurry to go to disaster relief, and they came out of their pockets and contributed their own family disciples.
Looking at this man's focused gaze, Han Xue'er's heart was very confused, in her heart, Liu Ziguang has always been a murderer who does not blink, but what he has seen over the past few days is that he cares about and takes care of everyone around him, builds schools and factories, houses his children, wives and children, and never beats and scolds his subordinates, except for sometimes changing his methods in bed
"Torture" is basically a very benevolent master in addition to himself, and now he is so concerned about those unknown victims thousands of miles away, it is really difficult to see through this man's heart.
"I'm going to be out for a while, and my family will depend on you all these days." Liu Ziguang's words woke up Han Xue'er, who was in deep thought, and hurriedly cheered up and listened.
If he wants to go north and infiltrate the Manchu Qing Dynasty to make trouble, he must try to send this information out.
"Are you going west?" Peng Jingrong asked.
"It's good that you know about this secret, don't tell it." Liu Ziguang won't hide anything from his family, and with Peng Jingrong's intelligence, he can't hide it from her at all.
"By the way, recently, you have been looking for a respected Confucian to be the head of the academy, I plan to build a academy to compete with Donglin......" Liu Ziguang's words later, Han Xue'er didn't listen to it, when she heard that Liu Ziguang was going to the west instead of the north, there was a sudden inexplicable relaxation in her heart, if he really wanted to go north, he must have to pass on this information, then he would be intercepted and killed by the military aircraft that was waiting for him, and this situation was exactly what Han Xue'er didn't want to see from the bottom of his heart.
What's wrong with me? Han Xue'er was so confused that she had been integrated into the identity of the eldest girl of the Hou Ye Mansion for a long time, and even her real name Bingbing felt unfamiliar.
One of your gentle clicks warms my code word life on 617k literature network to support the genuine "Iron Age".
Nanchang did things vigorously and resolutely, and when he first began to plan to solve Zuo Liangyu, the vanguard had already produced the main force, and they were still the heroes of the Beijing operation: the old partners Zhong Shouyong and Da Wenxi, as well as a group of capable fans, they dressed up as merchants, and rushed to Huguang with a few carriages.
After several days of heavy rain, the road was muddy and difficult to walk, and now I walked to a simple restaurant next to the post road in Wuhu, where the fans sat at the table and waited for the store to bring the wine and rice, the sky was gloomy, and from time to time there was a light rain falling down, and it was lunch time, and the small restaurant was full of merchants who came and went, everyone complained about the weather, and talked about the flood.
Zhong Shouyong and Da Wenxi sat at the same table, the simple waist knife was placed on the table, in order to hide their identity, they did not carry the official standard of weapons, but chose the civilian knife produced by the Liguo Iron Factory.
There are a lot of people in the restaurant, and the store is too busy to make hot dishes, and the hot meals are too late to serve, so they can only take out some tofu milk, dried bamboo shoots, kohlrabi and Baiyi wine (described as Wuhu flavor in the history of Confucianism) and let the guests drink first.
Listening to the rain and drinking wine, I saw three healthy horses galloping in the distance, splashing a cloud of muddy water, and when they arrived at the door of the small restaurant, the three horses stopped together, the knight turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the child, and shouted: "Feed the good forage." As he spoke, he took off his cloak and walked into the hut.
The small restaurant is just a simple roadside stall, only a few trees are used to tie the horses, where is there any good forage, Xiao Er cried and said with a sad face: "The guest shop, I don't care about feeding the horses." ”
"** let you feed you, you will feed it, when grandpa has no money, there is no forage, just feed that grain, hungry and thin grandpa's BMW, take care of your head!" The newcomer scolded, Xiao Er was intimidated by his momentum, and Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak.
The three knights walked into the shed, everyone looked up, it turned out that they were wearing the official uniform of the Jinyi Guard under their cloaks, and the embroidered spring knife was hung on the waist, no wonder it was so dragged, it turned out to be the official master, although the current Jinyi Wei is not as big as the South Factory and the East Factory, but it is still more than enough to bully the little people.
The three of them couldn't help but be angry when they saw that the table was full: "Shop! Quickly make room for grandpa to serve cooked beef, good wine, hot soup, hot rice, grandpa has to hurry after eating. The store was very embarrassed, and it was not good for anyone to vacate the table, and they were rubbing their hands and not knowing what to say, when one of the Jinyi guards saw Da Wenxi and Zhong Shouyong occupying a table, he pointed to them and said: "You two get up and go elsewhere to squeeze this table, you guys want it." Vice General Zhong's hand reached out to the waist knife on the table, but was stopped by Da Wenxi with his eyes, Jin Yiwei saw him touching the knife, and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Do you still want to rebel?" ”
"Don't dare, don't we dare to give you something to make way for you." Da Wenxi hurriedly pulled Zhong Shouyong to stand up and smiled with a smile.
"You know each other." Jin Yiwei saw that Zhong Shouyong's huge body was also a little stunned after he stood up, so he stopped pursuing it, and sat down at the table to clean up the muddy water on his body.
The shopkeeper was afraid of their might, and the hot soup and hot rice that should have been served to Zhong Shouyong were also brought to Jinyiwei, and a large plate of cooked beef was cut over, and good wine was poured, and two pots of three Jinyiwei were devoured, and it looked like it was really hard to hurry.
"*** God, it's raining, when does this trip have to go?" A brocade guard complained.
"I just arrived in Wuhu, the farther west it goes, the more rainy it is, the road is more difficult to walk, maybe we meet homeless people, and it's hard to say whether we can get to Wuchang or not." Another brocade guard said.
"Shhh The man who seemed to be the leader stopped the man's words just now, looked around and saw that no one was listening to their conversation, so he lowered his voice and said, "This trip must be kept secret, you pig brains." ”
"Big brother, we can only come so quickly. They are still in the capital, so what kind of secrets do they have? Having said that, the three of them still didn't mention anything, and Wuchang sat quietly to drink and eat.
Their conversation naturally fell into the ears of Nanchang Fanzi, Da Wenxi and Zhong Shouyong glanced at each other, nodded very tacitly, Da Wenxi stood up and said, "Where is the thatched house of the store?" ”
"There's a thatched hut on the side of the road." The shopkeeper replied. Daven laughed and scolded, and ran out of the shed, walking towards the row of big trees where the horses were bolted, unbuckling his belt as he went, as if he was going to release water.
