Chapter 108: Lotus Collection (8)
"Since that's the case, then I'll do my best!" Xianghe White Lotus picked up the list and weapon patterns and looked at them carefully a few times, and said: "There are some equipment here, the materials and shapes are quite special, and the craftsmen may have many questions to ask when they are making, is Yun Gongzi waiting until the things are finished in the Xianghe Collection and then go back?"
Yun Tianjia said: "No, I can't stay here for a long time. Luo Erniang is the head of my Dragon Armor Army, and she is very familiar with my requirements, so she can stay on the island for a while. ”
Xianghe Bai Lotus said: "Okay, Yun Gongzi rest assured, I will handle the things you explained." After three days, we can first transport a batch of supplies back to Lotus Xiangwu. When the time comes, you will see who will be left to do the errands, and who will escort the ship back. ”
"In this way, thank you to the white lotus girl first!" Yun Tianjia bowed his hand and said: "The lotus root incense dock is far away from the Xiangheji, and for the convenience of travel, I intend to purchase a few merchant ships." In addition, the Dragonjia Army has built a new water army, and the soldiers are preparing for water battles, and they also need a number of clippers. ”
Xianghe Bai Lotus smiled and said, "Xiangheji lacks everything, but it is easy to find ten or twenty boats." Merchant ships, I'll transfer a few for you to use, you don't have to buy another one. Warships can be converted into merchant ships, and they can be launched in ten days. In this way, on behalf of Xiangheli, I will send ten sloops of the Longjia Army to train the navy, in order to thank Yun Gongzi for not recruiting troops in Xiangheli!"
Yun Tianjia shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ashamed, ashamed!"
Xianghe Bai Lotus sighed: "After reading your army's equipment procurement list, I realized that the cost of building the army is so huge. I think that all the soldiers of the Tuhao Empire combined, I'm afraid there are no less than a million. How much does it cost to spend a million soldiers? No wonder the people of the world are so poor!"
Luo Erniang had been paying attention to the conversation between the two of them, and when she heard the discussion about money, she smiled and said, "What's the matter?
Xianghe Bai Lotus also smiled: "Everyone knows that you have money, and I am naturally not afraid that you will not be able to pay." It's just that no matter how rich you are, the army is a bottomless pit, you can fill it once, you can fill it twice, can you still fill it all the time?"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Yun Tianjia thought secretly: "I haven't taken care of the money thing, and when I think about it, it is indeed very inappropriate for Luo Erniang to use her own money to fill the hole in the army." The army of the imperial court naturally has to spend the money of the imperial court, and when the appropriation of the county lord arrives, let Luo Erniang offset it by herself. ”
He thought again: "In the future, the Dragon Armor Army will really be full of 10,000 people, and all the expenses will be astronomical, and all kinds of materials will only be allocated by the county lord, which will also be troublesome." When the time comes, you need to find a large enough place to eat. ”
Luo Erniang said with a smile: "Most of my money is earned by soldiers in the army, and it is natural to use it in the army." ”
After the three of them finished talking about the business and said a few more gossips, the fragrant lotus white lotus took down the bookcase, and asked people to bring a piano table, a guqin, light incense, debug it a few times, and slowly play the piano music.
Lucia took a bowl of rice wine in her hand, sat on the wooden table, listened for a while, and said, "Eldest sister, you are playing the piano more and more like the master! On the way here just now, I heard the sound of the piano, and I thought it was really her arrival. No wonder her old man also said, we are four sisters, in terms of temperament, you are the most like her. ”
The fragrant lotus white lotus concentrated on playing the piano and did not answer.
After a song, Yun Tianjia said: "White lotus girl, there is a reluctant request below, I don't know if you are willing to help with this?"
Xianghe White Lotus looked at Yun Tianjia with a pair of wonderful eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "Do you want me to lead you to see your family?"
Lucia added, "He has been talking all the way about seeing our lord, and my ears can hear the calloon coming!"
Xianghe Bai Lotus pondered for a while, and said with a straight face: "Yun Gongzi, it's not that I don't want to introduce you to you, there is a reason for it." First, she lived in Lingxintai, a day and a half away from Xiangheji, second, she was an old man who liked to be quiet and easily did not see outsiders, and third, she happened to be in retreat and had not been out for more than half a year. If you see her sincerely, I am naturally willing to ask her old man for instructions for you, but if she can't see you, when she sees you, I can't be the master. ”
Yun Tianjia guessed that the master of Xianghe Bailu was in retreat, which was probably just a pretext, otherwise why did Luxia say that she knew about the Dragon Armor Army's garrison Lotus Xiangwu? and said that she might come to Xiangheji to meet with her? It can be seen that her retreat is not completely invisible to outsiders.
Said: "A day and a half of waterway, it doesn't take much effort. If she's out of the gate......"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a series of crisp sounds of dishes breaking, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a maid who accidentally dropped a stack of porcelain cups on the ground when he was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
Everyone in the Dragon Armor Army paused, and when they saw that they just dropped a stack of bowls, they didn't take it seriously, and continued to drink and eat. But the girl was so frightened that her face was colorless, and she hurriedly swept away the broken porcelain, and then knelt on the ground, her forehead touched the ground, and she couldn't stand down.
Yun Tianjia was puzzled, and was about to excuse her, but the fragrant lotus white lotus gently plucked the strings, and said indifferently: "What punishment should I receive for losing my honor in front of people?"
When the girl heard the sound of the piano, her whole body was shocked, and she said, "Go to the firewood room...... Sleep in the firewood room for half a month......"
Xianghe Bai Lotus said: "As women, we must not only do things carefully, but also not be surprised, so that others will look at you differently." You are frizzy, and you are flustered after making mistakes, you have to reflect well, I think sleeping in the firewood room for half a month is not enough to hone your mind. ”
The girl hesitated and said, "Then I'll sleep...... Sleep in a firewood room for two months?"
Xianghe Bailu snorted and said, "You go!" The girl lowered her head and stepped back carefully.
He vigorously hugged and said: "It's just a few bowls, what's the matter? But let people sleep in the firewood room for two months! The firewood room is dark and rumbling, dirty and smelly, and there may be many mice! A little girl, how can you bear it?"
Xianghe Bai Lotus said: "The root cause of the chaos and disorder in the world lies in the fact that people in the world cannot control their own hearts, and in order to satisfy greed, love, stupidity, hatred, evil, fear, and shock, they do not hesitate to fight with others. If the mind is not controlled, it will turn into a demon in the heart, and there will be endless disasters. Xiangheji will rely on these girls to govern in the future, if they don't understand the truth of calming their minds now, then it will not only harm her, but also harm the people of Xiangheji. ”
He Dali was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know what to do, what does this control of the mind have to do with breaking the dishes? But he could barely understand that Xianghe White Lotus Lotus punished the maid, and it seemed that it was for her good, so he didn't think about it.
Yun Tianjia said in his heart: "No wonder those maids are afraid of fragrant lotus and white lotus, she is not unkind, but she understands people's hearts too well." ”
Being disturbed like this, he was too embarrassed to ask about meeting the master of Xianghe again. If you repeatedly urge everything, you will inevitably be hated and teased by the fragrant lotus and white lotus.
