Chapter 2 Voyage (8)

There is no snow drifting in Guangzhou Mansion, but when it comes to the New Year, it is a little wet and cold in the cold, and it is more uncomfortable than the dry and cold in the north. Zhang Yu's voice has a warmth, teaching people to listen, and there is heat in her heart, even if she asks very directly, she will not teach people to feel stern and uncomfortable: "May I ask my sister, if the Ding family has such a big business, if there is no Mr. behind it, do you need to do something up and down?" If there is no gentleman, if you want to take orders from the army, do you need to spend entertainment? ”

"Naturally, I want it!" Liu Yiyi is not ambiguous about this, she was born in a family of businessmen, how can she not know about this joint matter? Even inviting relevant officials to eat flowers and wine or something is often an indispensable thing, which is why her father handed over the accounts to her before she left the cabinet, but did not hand over the whole business to her.

Zhang Yu nodded, took another sip of tea, and then asked, "Does my sister have to calculate the cost of this part separately and hand it over to Mr.?" Looking at Liu Yiyi's stunned expression, Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days." If there is a day of frustration, how can this business continue? Or a hundred years later, the Ding family has no children to come out to shelter this family, and the business of this family has never paid for the upper and lower joints, how to do it then? Each house is checked according to the old accounts, and it will be a loss every year, so I have to divide the family, sister, I don't know my foolish opinion, but is there any use for the stones of other mountains? ”

"Yes, it's the concubine's mistake, and it is right to set aside a fee for the top and bottom and hand it over to the husband to share the profits."

At this time, the natural stupidity still has food residues in the corners of his mouth. Stretched out his hand and took anyone's teacup from the tea tray and drank it, and drank three cups in a row before stopping. But he smiled: "Every time there is a settlement in the hospital, I will give a copy to my senior brother!" Children of the rivers and lakes, what kind of hero is a man who eats alone? Naturally, everyone has a share! ”

Everyone fell endlessly, and even Zhang Yu, the teacup in his hand, couldn't stop trembling.

After a cup and a half of tea, Zhang Yu was able to say that Ruyu, the general who commanded the armor, was hostile and tears rolled down; Liu Yiyi, a businessman genius who can open shops all over the Ming Prefecture. Bow your head and admit your mistake. But for natural stays, she really has no choice. Especially when she was staring at her big eyes while stuffing the fruit shop into her mouth. With an innocent face, he asked, "Did I say it wrong?" Really, the heroes on the rivers and lakes are either arrogant, or they are reluctant to give their brothers flowers if they have silver on them. Then who thinks he's a character! Thankfully, she quickly regained her attention. Concentrate on the mille-feuille cake, otherwise I am afraid that the people in this room will be unable to move with laughter this night.

"I'm afraid that in the court, someone will impeach Mr. recently." Zhang Yu drank the second cup of tea, but said to Ding Yi, "Don't say that the Zhongguo Mansion has a will to fall in Guangzhou Mansion, that is, the Zuodu Imperial History Zhishi, and settle in Guangdong." On the side of the political envoy, there was no house for Mr. I can't say anything. Jiesomeone looks at it and has some fireworks with Ruyu, put up his qualifications, and wait for Mr. to see him, he is busy with the westward expedition here, and Mr. is afraid that he will not have time to meet, and he is afraid that he will not like it in his heart. And in the court, there should be a lot of people, waiting for the fold here to go up, so that they can have a reason to do things. ”

Ding didn't care when he heard it, shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as they are still sitting on the dragon chair today, no matter how much they toss ......"

"That's a big fallacy." Zhang Yu refuted Ding Yi's words mercilessly, just like saying goodbye to Ding Yi or greeting him in the suburbs before, he did not change his attitude because he entered the door of Ding's house, not that she couldn't change her attitude, but she understood that what Ding Yi liked was not a vase, what he valued and fascinated was the communication between the two, "The Son of Heaven is a lonely man, how can Mr. have the idea of friends and friends?" No matter how much he has done for the Son of Heaven, he should not think that the emperor will miss the old feelings. ”

Ding Yi shook his head again: "He is different, I don't have many friends, and he has even fewer friends, only me." ”

Zhang Yu listened and frowned, but he didn't dwell on this issue: "Just like Mr. said, then the Son of Heaven doesn't really do whatever he wants, so Mr. should have no objection." At this point, Ding Yi had to nod, in the final Ming generation, except for Taizu and Chengzu, there is really no emperor who can do whatever he wants.

"Duke Mu's Mansion is only in Yunnan, and Mr. is in Liangguang." Zhang Yu analyzed this problem from another aspect, "The eight major places are not owned by the Mu Mansion; Yunnan is barren, although the two Guangxi are border, but far earlier than Yunnan to serve the sinicization, among which the countryside gentry, scholars are numerous, Mr. in Wuzhou to implement the official gentry one food, has taught the ministers of the court do not like, today for the teaching of Mr. away from the center, naturally do not stay difficult, but Mr. left the Beijing Division, they will not allow the four seas of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion such a yamen to exist in the two Guang such as the town! If time goes by, Guangdong is also like Guangxi, and the day when the chief military officer appointed by the imperial court will play a fold according to the meaning of Mr. and the political envoy will claim to be his subordinate Mu Enxu, they will not be allowed to do it. This truth, Mr. knows, Shoufu also knows, and Da Sima naturally knows it. ”

As soon as Ding heard this, he explained: "I don't plan to be a feudal town, I will promote industrialization, and the constitutional matters will be stabilized, so I will naturally assign officials according to the imperial court, but the current bureaucratic system of Liangguang itself is very unfavorable to promoting the industrial revolution......

"If you can't afford to be unprofitable, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents." Zhang Yu intercepted Ding Yi's words.

"Not everyone is like Mr. and he is dedicated to the country.

"It's one thing whether the gentleman wants to be a feudal town or not; In fact, whether Liangguang was run into a feudal town by Mr. is another matter.

"Before the Western Expedition, if the imperial court is in trouble, how to deal with it, I hope that Mr. will have a charter, so as not to make things sudden, and then Mr. will be thousands of miles away, and these two broad foundations will be at the mercy of others, and it will not be Mr. 's original intention."

At this time, a guard outside the door shouted: "Report, Du Ziteng and Huang Xiao raise ......."

Ding Yi didn't wait for him to finish, and said impatiently: "Tell them to come in by themselves, it's all said, don't pass it on, if you do it again in the future, you are ready to stay behind, don't want to follow me to the west!" The guard shrank his head in fright, and hurriedly went out to invite Huang Xiaoyang, Du Ziteng and others in.

As soon as he looked at Huang Xiaoyang, Ding Yi complained to him: "It's not in the camp, it's not the official room, how can my brother-in-law come over to report it in my own home?" He scolded Du Ziteng again, "What rules do you set for the New Year?" You are not as good as Liu Zijian in this regard, so many stinky rules? Xue Ning came to Zhang Yu's side and taught Xiao Du to pour tea! ”

Huang Xiaoyang called "first brother", and then gave Liu Yiyi and others a salute, from the "sister-in-law", "third sister-in-law", "fourth sister-in-law" all the way over, Liu Yiyi, Xue Ning, and Zhang Yu also got up and replied, but when they went to Ding Ruyu, Huang Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed, hugged his fists and said, "Sister Yu, I heard that you are getting better and better!" Ding Ruyu rarely untied the knot in his heart tonight, but it was not the same as usual, he nodded coldly, got up and hugged his fists and returned the salute, which made Huang Xiaoyang a little surprised, as for the natural stay, Huang Xiaoyang called out "Senior sister", but what answered him was a piece of mille-feuille cake thrown over, and a sentence "It's delicious, Senior Brother Huang, try it quickly...... Hmm, did you take the money to drink and drink all the money again, and you have no money for the New Year? No? That's good. Then she went back to fighting over the pile of snacks.

Du Ziteng is talking about the rules, and it is the New Year, so naturally he kowtowed to Ding Yi first, and then kowtowed to the group of masters and wives to say goodbye, and when he went to Ding Ruyu, he was just about to open his mouth to call "uncle", but Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, and laughed in a low voice: "Fifth master." Du Ziteng is a smart person, and when he heard this, he kowtowed, but he praised: "Congratulations to the fifth master, congratulations to the fifth master!" Ziteng has a greeting for you! But Ruyu was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, and he hid behind Zhang Yu's back, at this moment, where is there any meaning of shouting and killing?

"Sir, Cao Jixiang has made such a thing there." Du Ziteng gave a salute, but reported to Ding Yi in a low voice, and carefully reported the matter that happened in the transportation department on the afternoon of this day, and the security yamen personnel in Guangdong and Guangxi were directly transferred to the Eighth Division after retiring, but they were fully manned.

Ding Yi smiled when he heard this: "Well, let them toss." ”

"Sir, do you want to transfer the First Brigade to Guangzhou?" Du Ziteng obviously had some drafts before he came, but at this time, he was also calm, "Don't worry about grain and grass, even if it takes five years, it can withstand the current consumption of troops...... The third brigade pressed on Wuzhou, and the 100,000 people from Huguang were also calm; There are several supplementary regiments on each side of Yungui to watch, and once something happens, the militia company of Miao Village can also pull out the emergency ...... When the Guangxi side mobilizes, a few militia divisions will not be a problem...... Besides, Yunyuan was pulling, and Yungui didn't dare to come with all his might...... Why don't you put the 3rd Brigade in Chaozhou to prevent movement on the Fujian side and pull Ding Junyue's 1st Brigade to Guangzhou......"

"Brother Yi, if you follow Ayang's words, make the ghost Gan troublesome? The messenger who sent the fold was intercepted by my land, and he made melons directly! Tonight, Ayang will lead the Marine Brigade of the West Sea Fleet to enter the Hanjia Shovel Mansion, and the chickens and dogs will not be left all rotten! Huang Xiao raised this one-eyed dragon, and when it came to killing people and setting fires, it seemed that he came up with a lot of regulations, "I happen to have a group of radish head dogs on hand, so I will bend them to admit the number!" They did it! If you don't want to tie it, you have to pull it! ”

Zhang Yu listened to this letter, her face couldn't help but be worried, she expected such a thing to happen, but she didn't expect it to be so soon; Ding Ruyu's joy of being relieved was also swept away by this news, she knew the severity, and naturally her eyebrows were tightened.

"Drink tea." Ding Yi shook his head, smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to the worried people present. (To be continued......)
