Three or five days passed.

Gui Zhi'er began to feel pain, so all of a sudden, the Xu family exploded.

A few doctors are waiting outside at any time, and several mothers-in-law who deliver babies are also invited, these mothers-in-law are naturally the most exquisite skills in the Beijing master, as for whether the level is good or not, this ...... Xu Chang and Xu Qian could only spread their hands, they obviously didn't know much about this line of work.

But it doesn't matter if it's reliable or not, just ask a few more, and the doctor is the best, one of them is the old imperial doctor in the palace, they are naturally not responsible for delivery, but they must be on call at any time, and in case of an accident, they must be treated quickly.

Pregnant women in this era are definitely considered high-risk jobs, and the mortality rate is not low.

The reason why Xu Qian was in a hurry was that he was worried about this.

Several women of the Xu family also came to help, but Xu Qian and Xu Chang could only accompany the old uncle to wait in the hall.

After all, the old uncle is a person who has seen the world, I don't know how many such things have been experienced before, at this time he is quite calm, and keeps saying: "Don't panic, don't panic, nothing can happen, when you are in the countryside, tie a bundle of straw mats, ask an old woman to take a few basins of hot water into it, and the doll will fall to the ground, and now it is a doctor and a mother-in-law, what are you afraid of?" ”

Xu Chang said: "Qian'er had a difficult birth when she was born, and she always couldn't get out, and she almost scared me to death." ”

The old uncle said angrily: "This is bitter first and then sweet, at this time, what are you talking about dystocia and giving birth to a child, could it be that you are more proficient than me?" ”

Xu Chang was speechless.

Xu Qian hurriedly picked up and said, "Yes, yes, my uncle understands, my uncle knows astronomy and geography, he crosses more bridges than we walk, and eats more salt than we eat." My grandson would like to ask for advice. This raw doll ......"

The old uncle reprimanded: "Don't ask the old man about giving birth to a baby, the old man has never given birth." ”

Xu Chang and Xu Qian had to stare at each other wide-eyed.

At this time, someone outside came in a hurry, it was Menzi, Xu Chang jumped up in fright, and said, "What, what's wrong?" ”

Menzi smiled bitterly: "Master...... Someone has come to the palace, and there is a will. ”

Will...... This is the time to will......

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"What will?"

Menzi scratched his head: "Said that he wanted to seal ......"

Hear the word "seal". Xu Chang and Xu Qian understood that the previous efforts of the two had worked, but they were very enthusiastic about the matter of commanding the envoys a few days ago, but now they were in no mood all of a sudden.

But when the decree comes, it cannot be driven out. had to sigh separately, ordered someone to open the middle door, and prepared the incense case to receive the order.

The one who came to deliver the will today was Huang Jin, and Huang Jin came over in person, and saw that the Xu Mansion was very nervous, so he asked someone to ask. I knew that I was going to give birth.

He is also a simple person, since he is about to give birth, he is naturally casual, and he will be ready here in Xu Mansion. announced his will, and since then, Xu Chang has been the commander of Jinyiwei, and he said a few words of congratulations. Huang Jindao: "Now the government wants to produce, but the matter of gratitude cannot be missed." His Majesty said that Xu Chang was busy with official business, so he didn't need to be grateful, just let his son enter the palace on his behalf. Just now...... Xu Qian, do you have time now? I really don't have time, let's talk to Majesty. ”

Xu Qian smiled bitterly: "That's it, just now Mrs. Wen said that you can only give birth at night, so I'll go here." ”

With Huang Jin entering the palace together, Huang Jin congratulated him along the way, and when he talked about what he had seen and heard recently, he suddenly said: "Our nephew who is not a good person is good in the Royal Academy?" ”

Xu Qian said: "The table is good, now that he has been appointed as a squad officer, Gonggong Huang must also know that this school is a big dye vat, and whoever enters it is a mold." ”

Huang Jin said with a smile: "This is good, this is good." ”

Huang Jindao: "The text of the crusade against the Tatars will be issued tomorrow, and the Hanlin Academy has drafted the text, and His Majesty has chosen the auspicious time for tomorrow to announce to the world." ”

Originally, this was just unintentionally revealing some news to Xu Qian, but Xu Qian was moved: "Gonggong Huang is going to make a fortune." ”

"Oh?" Huang Jin couldn't help but say: "Why do you say this? ”

Xu Qian smiled: "Once the war breaks out, the imperial court will make a big move against the Tatars, and how many soldiers will have to leave the customs at that time?" At that time, pig iron, swords, and firearms will be in short supply, if you think about it, the imperial court spends so much silver, and when the time comes, what weapons will the border soldiers choose? ”

Huang Jin was still confused, Xu Qian explained: "Actually, this is a very simple problem, just take firearms as an example, the firearms made by the imperial court bureau, ten have ** can not be used, not only slow rate of fire, cumbersome operation, but also extremely unstable, it is said that the border army does not dare to use them for actual combat drills, because if you are not careful, you will explode, ten **, all will die, and there is a sword of the bureau, not to mention, some knife edges, chop a few times, and roll the edge, don't say kill the enemy, kill the chicken, It won't be long before a large number of artifact firearms and swords will be eliminated in large quantities, and next, a large number of supplies and customizations will definitely be required. There are also finished weapons, if at this time, Huang Gonggong can hoard a batch of weapons, and then order someone to go to the border town to sell them, think about it, who is willing to use the weapons of the imperial court to make a bureau? This is a big deal, we have to hurry up and stock up on the goods today, and wait until tomorrow when the edict comes out, and ensure that many prices will rise, and when you sell them, it will be a few percent of the profit. ”

Huang Jin suddenly understood: "What do you mean, our family will find a way to customize a batch of weapons and stock up on pig iron?" ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "Others may not be able to customize weapons, but Gonggong Huang, there is a way to think about it." ”

Huang Jin suddenly smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, if you really make money, our family will definitely thank you." ”

Xu Qian was also quite happy in his heart, the war was a great benefit to the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, but it was not easy to sell the weapons of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau to the border towns. In the final analysis, the border army is a circle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break in, such as firearms, for more than 100 years, the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau are supplied by the Imperial Court's Fabrication Bureau, and the quality is low, but it is not so easy for them to buy the weapons of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau.

But with Huang Gonggong is different, let him stock up on a batch of goods, it is equivalent to making him a salesman, after all, there are many eunuchs in the border town, Huang Gonggong's relationship in the border town is very deep, if he tries his best to sell a batch of weapons, after the border town is a guinea pig, the reaction is good, and he finds that the weapons of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau are much sharper than the weapons of the Imperial Court Bureau, and the quality is much more stable.

At that time, there must have been many people clamoring for the imperial court to assemble the weapons of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and the military generals of one or two border towns may not be willing to listen to the imperial court, but there are many people arguing, not to mention that it is still the people from the border towns, and the imperial court will not be able to agree or not.

And once the imperial court begins to customize weapons, it is like being dyed with smoke, and it will be difficult to quit in the future, so in the final analysis, Huang Gonggong has to be pulled into the water, after all, this matter is not small, and Huang Gonggong's eunuch status is the most suitable to do such a thing.

For Huang Jin, this is a profitable business, and naturally his eyebrows are dancing, he estimated that he had already planned, and after returning to the palace, he immediately found a few henchmen to act separately.

As he was talking, Xu Qian had already entered the palace with Huang Jin, and today His Majesty was still in the Warm Pavilion, which made Xu Qian breathe a sigh of relief, but it was only after entering the Warm Pavilion that Xu Qian found that the atmosphere in the Warm Pavilion was very strict.

Sitting in the warm pavilion, there are not only Jiajing, but also two cabinet ministers, and a few Shangshu.

Xu Qian immediately understood that this should be a closed-door meeting, and the content of the meeting was probably related to the mobilization of troops.

Xu Qian saluted, Jiajing smiled slightly, and said, "Xu Qing came just in time, come here, make a seat for him, let him listen to it well." ”

Xu Qian said: "Thank you." At this time, the little eunuch had already moved a brocade pier, and Xu Qian sat under the head of the household book, obediently listening.

Although it was slightly interrupted by Xu Qian's appearance, everyone's interest was not transferred to Xu Qian, Yang Yiqing continued to talk eloquently: "Your Majesty, so the intention of the imperial court must be clear, the Tatars are elusive, and recently it has been in full swing, there are seventy or eighty thousand iron hooves, and the three-way army must echo each other, and the grain road must be guaranteed, the scouts must be spread out, and it is necessary to be alert at any time, the herdsmen encountered, whether they are injured or not are secondary, but the cattle and sheep must be slaughtered, the purpose of this expedition, It is not necessarily to exterminate the Tatars, but to destroy their rear, so that they do not have enough food for the winter, as long as it takes a few months, once they have no cattle and sheep to eat, no fur to keep warm, it will not be long before they will cause famine, and they will be trapped and starved to death before the spring of next year. And next year, I will be able to attack and defend, and strictly defend the important towns everywhere, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, the Tatars will surely try their best to plunder when the Tatars have suffered a catastrophe, and as long as the border towns do not let them succeed, the Tatars will surely collapse. In addition, this time to send troops, must use the Duoyan Sanwei as the vanguard, and then contact other tribes in the desert, bribe them with money, so that they can do it together, although these tribes have always been obedient to the Tatars, but once the Ming Dynasty is determined to use troops, and the Tatars lose slightly, they will definitely fight back, and the Tatars will perish, only in the evening. ”

Yang Yiqing has been in the border town for more than ten years, and he knows everything about the desert, and what he said also convinced the people present, that is, Jiajing has a grudge against him, and he can't help nodding yes at this time.
