Luo Wenhu is not eligible to participate in the small-scale private banquet held by Lin Xuwen in his private residence for Hu Wenmu tonight; Moreover, after entering Jiangning, he had to go to Qin Chengzu, the deputy envoy of Jiangning, and the military officer, so that the forbidden camp army that escorted Hu Wenmu into Beijing returned to the military camp, and first settled his family in Jiangning City......

The Huaidong Army did not require all generals' families to live in Jiangning or Chongzhou, and while requiring the generals' relatives to settle down in their own homes, it was even more important to encourage middle and high-ranking generals to bring their families to their posts.

It's just that most of the elite soldiers and horses of the Huaidong Army at this time are frequently mobilized with the development of the war, and there is no fixed station, and the generals prefer to settle their families in Chongzhou and Jiangning, which are not so short of materials.

Luo Wenhu was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department, and his family naturally wanted to settle down in Jiangning with him.

Sun Zhuang asked Luo Wenhu to choose two companions, Luo Wenhu took Zhou Sheng and Tian Su to accompany him, and then recommended Zhou and Tian to go to Jiangxia to enter the war training school.

Luo Wenhu first made the family stop in the Chongyang Gate to wait, he rushed to the Imperial City Privy Council to stay behind Qin Chengzu on a business, Qin Chengzu appointed a military attache named Sun Xiangjun to lead Luo Wenhu to the Military Intelligence Department and the generals to recognize their faces, and Luo Wenhu will temporarily stay there to help with official business; And it is not a simple matter for Luo Wenhu's family to settle down in Jiangning, Qin Chengzu wants Sun Xiangjun to take it on together, don't make Luo Wenhu feel at a loss when he first comes to Jiangning.

After going to the government office of the Military Intelligence Department, Sun Xiangjun left for a while because of a matter that needed to be dealt with urgently, and Luo Wenhu wandered around the imperial city at will. didn't want to get lost, Luo Wenhu walked for a long time before he asked and walked back, and Sun Xiangyang couldn't find him, so he left for other things.

Xiangyang City was captured, but the end of any large-scale war would not be simple, and the direct result was that the generals on the Privy Council's side were so busy that their feet were smoking-Luo Wenhu pinched the silver and bronze medal handed to him by the Military Intelligence Department to prove his identity, a stack of beautifully printed military tickets and the designated residence address, stood at the gate of the imperial city, looked at the long street outside, and was a little confused for a while: Jiangning City was so big that he couldn't find Sun Xiangjun, he didn't even have a copper in his pocket, and he didn't know how to find a place to live in Tonghuo Lane. I didn't even know how to meet up with the little family waiting in Chongyang Gate.

"Ahead, Luo Wen Huluo joined the army?" A horse-drawn carriage drove from behind and stopped at the south gate of the imperial city, and an official in civilian clothes lifted the curtain and poked his head out.

When Luo Wenhu was in the Military Intelligence Department just now, he saw this person, and when he heard others call him "Lord Qian", he hurriedly saluted and said: "Wenhu has seen Lord Qian......

"What kind of Qian adult, Qian villain, Brother Luo can call me Qian Xiaowu," Qian Xiaowu asked with a smile, "Just now, Sun Xiangjun couldn't find you all over the yard, but I didn't expect you to come here......"

"Sun Xiangjun has something urgent to go away for a while, I walked around the courtyard, I didn't think about getting lost, and Sun Xiangjun made a mistake in the past, thinking that Sun Xiangjun also has something urgent to do, I can ......go to Chongyangmen to pick up the family and then go to Tongtuo Lane" Luo Wenhu couldn't remember who Qian Xiaowu was from, but smiled and responded.

"That road is not close, Jiangning City passes through more than a dozen cities, Chongyang Gate is not the main gate, ordinary people come over, it is difficult to touch the road; Moreover, on this day, the wind blew so hard that his bones were tingling, Sun Xiangjun's muddy ball, he didn't know how important he was, how could he leave you behind? Another day, I will definitely tell Qin Ye to scold him for being a bloody dog," Qian Xiaowu said, "Enze and I were originally going to make an appointment to drink, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, so I will accompany Brother Luo to pick up the family and let people send the banquet to Tonghuo Lane, which can be regarded as washing the dust for Brother Luo......."

Luo Wenhu saw that there was still a young official sitting in the carriage, and smiled and gestured to him: "Chen Enze has seen Brother Luo!" ”

Luo Wenhu suddenly remembered who Chen Enze and Qian Xiaowu were...... One is the head of the Chongzhou boys, and Chen Enze, who was the secretary of Jiangning at this time, was indeed a protégé disciple of the privy envoy; the other is Qian Xiaowu, the deputy envoy of the branch who followed before the rise of the Privy Council and was in charge of the inner government of the Chongguo Mansion; There are not too many generals in Jiangning City who are heavier than the two of them.

Where is Luo Wenhu willing to ask Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze to accompany him to pick up the family and go to Tongtuo Lane? Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze really had nothing to do after today, they excused each other in front of the imperial city gate, half-dragged and half-dragged Luo Wenhu into the carriage and went to Chongyang Gate, and asked the entourage to take military tickets to Tonghuxiang to settle some necessary living materials for Luo Wenhu.

With Luo Wenhu into Jiangning, he had his widowed mother, as well as a wife, a concubine, and four minor children.

Luo Wenhu knew that the Huaidong Army was not extravagant, he had already asked the old mother to dismiss the other servants, and only one old servant was old and frail and had no ability to make a living, so he brought it to Jiangning - the monthly salary he received from the Huaidong Army was only four silver dollars, and he didn't know how to maintain the livelihood of the old mother, his wife and concubines, his children, the old servants, and his own total of nine people, fortunately, there were still some savings.

The Privy Council carved out eight alleys in the north of the Zangjin Bridge to facilitate the small concentration of the middle and senior generals of the Huaidong Army, and Tonghuo Lane was only one of them.

There are nearly ten miles from Chongyang Gate to Zangjin Bridge Copper Camel Lane, and on the way, Qian Xiaowu called two carriages to carry Luo Wenhu's family and the accompanying cage to Copper Camel Lane.

On the way, I specially went around, asked Luo Wenhu and his family to get to know Jiangning City, and passed by Chongguo Gong, walked the Zangjin Bridge, and passed by a well-guarded courtyard.

Chen Enze, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned slightly, and said to Qian Xiaowu: "The courtyard of the Ordnance Supervisor should have been moved out a long time ago, which made people panic, and it should be mentioned when the lord comes back......

"What the lord regards as a treasure, can you get the lord to agree to move out of the city? Moreover, the winter thunder is bursting, and no matter how panicked the people in Jiangning City are, it is a good omen," Qian Xiaowu laughed and said, "However, I went to Lord Sun a few days ago and asked, the military superintendent will not let this courtyard out, but the next experiment of this fire sulfur party is indeed to move out, and there is no place to test in the city." ”

Luo Wenhu knew that the Fuhuo Sulfur Fang was a commonly used pill prescription for Dan doctors in the previous dynasty, but Emperor Qining of the previous dynasty was harmed by Danshu and collapsed, so he banned Danshu in all aspects. Since Yue, you may be able to see rough records related to the fire and sulfur side in the classics, but very few people know the details-

Huaidong has admired craftsmanship over the years, Xing Complex Studies, or Xing Dan Technique, but listening to the tone of Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze, the privy envoy took this fire sulfur very seriously, and in fact, the courtyard of the Ordnance Supervisor was actually next to the Chongguo Mansion across the river, so Luo Wenhu was curious about what this fire sulfur side was, but he also knew the discipline of the Huaidong Army, and some things could not be inquired about casually.

"Sun Xiangjun is really careless," Qian Xiaowu saw that Luo Wenhu was a little confused when he first entered Jiangning, and said, "There must be many things that you don't have to introduce Brother Luo: although Jiangning is not in the north, it is not comfortable to be cold on a cold day, but you can burn a stove indoors." Now that the war in various places has just ended, the prices in the market in Jiangning are still very expensive, and it is not easy for Brother Luo to live in Jiangning with a large family of people only relying on the monthly salary. The government regularly transports a batch of grain, meat, flour, charcoal and other materials from other places into Jiangning, and the generals can receive a certain amount of daily necessities every month with military tickets......"

Luo Wenhu remembered that the stack of beautifully printed military tickets he had just received from the Military Intelligence Department had such a purpose.

The military tickets were written with the words "one yuan", "one jiao", "two jiao", and "five jiao", and there were 100 of them, saying that they were settling-in allowances. It's just that Sun Xiangjun didn't have time to introduce him clearly and disappeared, Luo Wenhu thought at this time, "one yuan" may be a silver dollar to Huaidong, but I don't know what "one corner" means.

However, listening to Qian Xiaowu's introduction, Luo Wenhu no longer has to worry about how to feed a family of several people in Jiangning, although he can't be rich and expensive, but it is not a problem to support his family - he didn't expect that Lin Tie was outside the money village flying ticket, and intended to try money in a small area, so that he could gradually issue money as an auxiliary supplement to the silver dollar system in the future.

"The university halls run by the Privy Council in Chongzhou, Mingzhou, Jiangning and other places mainly recruit scholars from all over the world, and if Brother Luo has children and nephews over the age of fifteen, he can recommend them to study; In addition, the Guogong Government has also set up a number of public schools in Jiangning, Chongzhou and other places, and the children of officials can enroll in boarding schools if they are minors. The meaning of the prince and his wife is to encourage the daughters of each family to also enroll, but if each family has concerns, Hutang County Jun also has a girls' school in Jiangning, and the daughters of each family are recruited for free; It is not advisable for all private families to invite the West ......" The carriage stopped in Tongluo Alley, in front of the single courtyard assigned to Luo Wenhu by the Privy Council, to introduce the situation of Huaidong Public School.

In the past, the children of high-ranking officials could study Taixue with the children of the clan, which was obviously not a treatment that ordinary generals could enjoy.

Although there are academies in many places, the academies teach Confucianism, and it is not possible for underage children to enter it. The rich and noble families teach underage children, and most of them hire Xixi to run private schools and private schools. Luo Wenhu naturally hopes that his four minor children can read and write, and privately hiring Xixi is not something he can afford at this time, there is a public school and even a female school for his daughter's dormitory, which is even better......

The front and back of the single courtyard are not big, except for the kitchen and miscellaneous room, it is barely enough for eight or nine people to live, and a guardhouse must be vacated - Luo Wenhu is a brigade general-level general, and the division will send two police officers to take care of miscellaneous affairs and guards for him, and the department will specially release the gang to make up for it, not Luo Wenhu's personal officials, and Luo Wenhu does not need to pay out of pocket.

Huaidong prohibits generals from hiring private officials to assist in handling official affairs, and if they want to add additional servants due to official needs, they can apply to the division for transfer, and there is a difference between the top and bottom of the generals, but there is no personal dependency.

Luo Wenhu, Qian Xiaowu, and Chen Enze walked slowly on the road, and Qian Xiaowu led a large cart of things to park in the yard and arrange them, using up the military tickets that Luo Wenhu had just given him.

Luo Wenhu's wife and concubine and two young daughters also have the discomfort and anxiety of entering Jiangning for the first time, and many novelty objects that they have never seen before were pulled in the four-wheeled carriage, but Luo Wenhu's two sons are not very old and have a wild temperament, and they help arrange them after crawling forward.

Qian Xiaowu, Chen Enze, and Luo Wenhu didn't care about these miscellaneous things, swept out a quiet room, but asked someone to let the banquet sent from a nearby restaurant be set up, and talked about Jiangning's trivial matters while drinking.

Luo Wenhu fought with the army before, and knew that Lin Lianzhi's Huaidong Army had a different style, with a completely different style from the tradition, and chatted with Qian Xiaowu and Chen Enze, only to know that the life of Huaidong generals in Jiangning and Chongzhou also has a far different atmosphere from the tradition.

While eating, a small official walked in to find Qian Xiaowu and whispered to him; Qian Xiaowu's expression was solemn, and Chen Enze asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Wenhu entered the Military Intelligence Department with the rank of commander and staff member, and many secrets did not need to be hidden from him, Qian Xiaowu said directly: "There is news in the palace, saying that the old witch has come up with a dirty idea again, saying that she wants to reward the Huaidong generals with meritorious service, and the Duke and Earl are as cheap as pickled cucumbers on the market, saying that they will also seal the city; They can't help this mess around, but when the news gets out, there is always some bad impact......"

Luo Wenhu was pondering who the "old witch" in Qian Xiaowu's mouth was referring to, but he also knew that the seal of the land of the Emperor was not the same, and he thought to himself, could it be that this old witch was referring to the one in the Wanshou Palace?

Luo Wenhu thought to himself: If the Huaidong generals really accept the reward of Emperor Yongxing, then there may not be the motivation to overthrow the Yuan family and establish a new dynasty in the future, and the one in Wanshou Palace probably has this idea; But he also thought that the great merit of the privy envoy with the mountains and rivers was not only unique in the minds of the Huaidong generals, and far no one could replace it, but the two emperors before and after Yuan Yue, the first emperor fled the capital and died in the vortex; The prestige of the imperial family has long declined to the extreme during the Jiangning War, and at this time, the forces of Huaixi and Sichuan and Shu are not enough to threaten and contain Huaidong, and the privy envoy is a big deal to directly abolish Emperor Yongxing and establish a new dynasty......

Unlike what Luo Wenhu thought, Chen Enze scratched his head and said, "This old witch is a little hateful," and Luo Wenhu said apologetically, "I have to rush to the Guogong Mansion with Lord Qian to discuss this matter, and this wine will be sent to him for a ......day."
