In the cold wind.

A large team went along the official road to Yingqing Mansion. In the middle of the team, there is a "Wu" flag and a "Yanhan" flag.

Under the banner of Jing. Two coachmen sat in front and followed the procession in a sturdy and durable carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Wu Nian was wrapped in a black bear skin, sat on the carriage of the carriage, and read a book quietly. In front of him was a small table.

There are sweets and dried fruit preserves on top.

"General." Outside the carriage, a man's voice sounded. Wu Nian put down the scroll in his hand, opened the car window, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A soldier on horseback followed the carriage. While handing the fold in his hand to Wu Nian. Said respectfully: "The excerpt sent by Liu Changshi." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Nian hummed, reached out and took the fold, and then closed the window. He didn't rush to look at the fold, but pinched a few pieces of pastry and ate it, then clapped his hands, and then opened the fold and continued to sit and watch.

"National debt? I didn't expect this stubble before. But it's normal. Kyogoku Yukiri is a lonely soul in the Ryukyus, and it is only when all hope is pinned on me that it is so reliable. Ordinary foreign businessmen, how can they be relied on. ”

"Businessmen are profit-seeking. Not to mention foreign businessmen? ”

"The wall is falling down, and everyone is pushing it."

Wu Nian smiled, shook his head and put down the fold. took out his own red pen, red ink, and red pen royal approval, and wrote it.

"I'll talk about it when I get back."

After writing. Wu Nian took out a small hammer and struck the plank.

"General." Immediately there was a voice outside the door.

Wu Nian stretched out his hand and opened the window of the car, handed the fold to his soldiers, and ordered: "Send someone to send it to Jiang County quickly." ”

"Yes." The soldier stretched out his hand to take the fold and immediately went down to do errands.

Wu Nian closed the window, he didn't sleep well last night, the carriage was rickety, and it was strangely comfortable.

He yawned, removed the small table in front of him, unfolded the folded futon next to him, took off the big futon on his body, covered his body, yawned again, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

This morning. Wu Nian arrived in Jiang County. He told the officials in advance that he didn't have to greet him, and entered the city in a very low-key manner.

But no matter how low-key it is, it won't be much lower-key. Horse-drawn carriages, escorted by thousands of soldiers, marched through the streets. As a result, the people on the road had to get out of the way, and many of them bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

They didn't know who was in the carriage.

However, at present, in the entire Liaodong, the status of the army and military generals is very lofty. Many people respect it from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the gate of General Fuhan's mansion. Wu Nian stepped out of the carriage, stepped on a small bench and landed on the ground, and entered the gate.

"General. The great officials are already waiting in the hall. In addition, Miss Kyogoku came to visit, and her subordinates arranged it in the living room. ”

An official greeted him and said to Wu Nian.

"Huh?" Wu Nian looked surprised and stopped. After thinking for a while, he said to the officials, "Let the officials wait." I'll go see Kyogoku Yukiri first. ”

"Yes." The official answered, and immediately sent someone to inform the officials in the hall, and he himself led the way.

The huge Fuhan General's Mansion has many living rooms.

Soon. Wu Nian came to the living room and walked in. Immediately, his eyes lit up. Kyogoku Yuri did not wear a kimono, but a Han skirt. The hair is also combed into a double snail bun, slightly powdered, and it is very gorgeous.

However, everything remains the same.

She is elegant and noble in her bones.

Previously, she was the daughter of a famous family.

Now, she is the princess of the Ryukyus.

"General." Kyogoku Yukiri stood up, posed with both hands, and performed a standard Han family woman's blessing ceremony to Wu Nian.

"No courtesy. Sit. Wu Nian raised his hands, helped the other party, and then came to the main seat and sat down. Didn't comment on the other party's dress.

It's really beautiful though.

"Miss. Are you still used to living in the Kyogoku family? Wu Nian and Jingji exchanged pleasantries in the snow.

"Thank you for your concern. For the Kyogoku family, this is a foreign country. It's really not customary to live in daily life. But the Kyogoku family has perished, and they are grateful to have a place to live. ”

Kyogoku Yuki sat in an extremely dignified posture and shook his head slightly.

She had mixed feelings.

The Kyogoku clan in Fuso was wiped out by the Toyotomi clan because it was affected by the Ryukyus. Although most of the family members escaped, the retainers suffered heavy losses.

In the case of Fuso, the Kyogoku family has perished.

She was ashamed.

And for Wu Nian, he took in the Kyogoku family without hesitation, and took in her who was the remnant of the Ryukyus. She was very grateful.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Strength, courage, and righteousness are indispensable.

The young lady was serious. It is the so-called poor bird into the arms. With the affection between Miss and me, this is what I should do. Wu Nian shook his head, his expression was very serious.

Kyogoku Yuki took a breath and forced down the gratitude in her heart. Some words are useless to say too much. Thinking of this, Kyogoku Yukiri lightly opened her red lips, bent down and said, "General." I've heard that businessmen are running on the national debt. I am willing to pay for all these treasury bonds. ”

Private trading of registered treasury bonds is not permitted. Otherwise, Jingji Xueli would have bought it privately a long time ago, and would not have come to ask Wu Nian.

Wu Nian laughed, shook his head and said, "Miss has a heart." I know you're grateful to me, Miss, but it doesn't have to be. ”

"Miss, you helped me too. When there is a drought, if it weren't for the lady who brought grain. Liaodong still doesn't know how many people will die. ”

"Friendship is far more valuable than money."

"And now the Kyogoku family, it should be very difficult. Plus as agreed. The equipment, money and food of the 10,000 households of the Matsudaira Single-minded Navy are all handled by you, Miss. The expenditure of 10,000 soldiers is no joke. ”

"I can't ask for your money."

"But the general. It started because of us. Kyogoku Yukiri blamed herself and shook her head and said.

"I told you. It doesn't matter. Please don't say any more, Miss. The matter of the national debt, I will solve it myself. Wu Nian's attitude was very clear, and after shaking his head and speaking. He stood up and said, "Miss." The officials are still waiting for me. ”

"I'll take my leave."

With that, Wu Nian took a step forward and walked towards the gate.

"General." Jingji Xueli frowned, stood up and chased after him, but only saw Wu Nian's back, and couldn't help but hold on to the door frame, biting his red lip gently, blaming himself and grateful.

"Although I helped him. But now the burden of a country is all on him. As a result, he became at odds with Shogun Toyotomi. After all, I owe him. ”

Soon. Wu Nian came to the outside of the hall, tidied up his appearance a little, and walked in with his head held high.
