Hearing this, Xie Wan glanced at Steward Fang deeply, and said sincerely: "Steward Fang has worked hard. ”

Steward Fang sighed lightly when he heard this: "Although the old slave was bought back to the house by the old man from the Ya Pozi, in the past twenty years, it is the lady and the mother who trust the slave, and the old slave was punished by the old lady and the second master and the third master, and it is also the lady who protects the old slave." ”

"The things in the house, the old slave can see clearly, in the old slave's mind, Mrs. is the real master of the old slave, and now that Mrs. is gone, it is naturally the mother and the little marquis."

Xie Wan hummed in a low voice when she heard this, and said, "I handed over the deed of sale to Wang Pu in the house, you can go to him another day and get rid of your descendants." ”

Hearing this, Steward Fang knelt down with a puff, kowtowed heavily and said in a dumb voice: "Slave...... The slave thanked the mother for her grace! ”

Xie Wan helped him up with her own hands: "No thanks, you deserve it." ”

Steward Fang wiped his tears and wanted to say something more, but Li Yu on the side suddenly spoke: "When they came to look for you, how did you answer?" ”

Steward Fang hurriedly said: "The slave replied at the time, it was indeed a little familiar, but the master was already dead, and it was the slave who saw the burial with his own eyes, and it was impossible for the dead to come back to life." They were still entangled at that time, and it happened that Han Shizi was patrolling and passing by, and the old slave called Han Shizi and left in a hurry. ”

Li Yu nodded when he heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "Later, you ask your son to go to Xie Mansion to deliver a message, just say that something happened suddenly that day, you were a little panicked, and after going back, you tossed and turned, and felt that the person was indeed very similar, and asked him to talk about it in the teahouse before the eighth day of the first month." ”

Steward Fang didn't even ask why when he heard this, so he immediately said, "The old slave will do it." ”

"There's no hurry."

Li Yu said lightly: "There are still a few days before the eighth day of the new year, and it is always dragged like this, which is a waste of the queen's mental energy, it is better to break it off at once." ”

After all, the back garden was not visited, Li Yu and Xie Wan left the Hou Mansion to find Li Qiong.

Li Qiong was polite and came to the door to greet her, but if she just exited, it wouldn't be that taste: "Yo! During the Chinese New Year, what wind blew you over? ”

Without waiting for Xie Wan and Li Yu to reply, he said to Xie Wan again: "This vinegar jar, how can you be willing to bring you to see me?" ”

Xie Wan: ......

He knows how to speak.

Li Yu's face was cold: "The dungeon of the Zongren Mansion has been very empty recently, why don't you go in and stay for a few days?" ”

Li Qiong was not afraid at all when he heard this, he smiled and said to Xie Wan: "Look, he is angry. ”

Xie Wan: ......

Li Yu snorted coldly when he heard this, ignored him anymore, and directly raised his feet and entered the palace.

Xie Wan shook her head helplessly at Li Qiong: "Don't say it, little uncle!" ”

Li Qiong sighed, pursed her lips and followed into the house.

The three of them entered the study, and Li Yu got straight to the point: "I know that there are disguise masters around you, you find a few people who are similar to Xie Zhigang's body shape, and give them disguise, I will be useful on the eighth day of the first month." ”

Li Qiong immediately guessed the usefulness when he heard this, he put away the lazy smile on weekdays, sighed lightly and said, "Okay, it's just that the master who has been calling for more than ten years is a little embarrassed." ”

Xie Wan snorted coldly when she heard this: "He killed my mother, put my mother under him and secretly survived, everything is his own fault!" ”

Hearing this, Li Qiong suddenly said in a sneering voice: "Okay, when I didn't say it." The fate of master and apprentice in those years was also calculated by him. ”

Xie Wan glanced at him when she heard this.

He's been as silky as ever.

"One more thing."

Li Yu looked at him and said, "I want to build a ship, a military ship that can cross the ocean and carry a large army!" I heard you say before that during your more than ten years in the south of the Yangtze River, you have taken several boats along the river into the sea, and you must have a certain understanding of ships. ”

"Shipbuilding?" Li Qiong frowned when she heard this: "Why did you suddenly think of building a long-distance sailing naval ship?" ”

Li Yu said coldly: "The coastal fishermen have been harassed by the Japanese and the surrounding small countries all the year round, and there has even been a massacre of the village, which is simply provoking the Great Jin!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

Li Qiong nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, especially that widow, he will only bully the coastal people, and when our soldiers arrive, they will run away and never confront our army head-on, which is really hateful!" Since the royal brother has this determination, the younger brother is naturally duty-bound! ”

Li Yu nodded: "Talk more with coastal soldiers, they have been stationed on the coast for many years and have rich experience in naval warfare." ”

"My brother saved it." Li Qiong said with a straight face: "Brother Huang, don't worry, as long as you have enough money, your brother will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

The matter was settled, and the two talked about the soldiers of the coastal garrison and the information on the war situation over the years.

Xie Wan listened on the sidelines, but what she was thinking about was how to raise the silver.

Shipbuilding and voyage are actually to make money, after all, the other side of the ocean and Dajin can communicate with each other, and many things will be transmitted to Dajin, and the price will be doubled.

If such a lucrative business can be monopolized, it will inevitably be a huge financial route in the future.

But there must be a lot of investment in the early stage, Li Yu has never talked to her about the treasury, but the head of the household department Shangshu Hu, in the conversation with her, revealed a little bit, although the treasury is full, but every spring needs a large amount of military expenditure, absolutely not rich.

If you add shipbuilding, I'm afraid it's going to be tight.

Qiao Guang said that the artillery could be made by this autumn at the latest, so that the glass would not have to be hidden and tucked, and could be put into production in large quantities to earn silver.

If you want to make glass, you have to have a kiln for firing, and you have to dig quartz ore, glass is very fragile, transportation is a big problem, if you want to promote it nationwide, at least establish a refining kiln in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and there must be quartz ore around.

When you think about it, there's so much to do.

Fortunately, her identity is different now, these things only need to be ordered, and someone will do it seriously, the only thing missing is time.

If the treasury is really short of money, it can borrow it from the ministers, and if it can't borrow it, then issue treasury bonds.

Just when Li Yu and Li Qiong were chatting about military affairs, Xie Wan had already arranged the number of ways to earn money clearly.

As the day became more and more westward, Li Yu and Xie Wan returned to the palace.

After going back, Xie Wan had a long talk with him, talked in depth, and popularized the concept of national debt and the use of national debt for him by the way.

Treasury bonds can not only be used to raise money, but can also be used as a means to control subject countries.

After Li Yu heard about it, he sent Bai Yun to Shangshu Mansion overnight, and ordered Hu Shangshu to go to the palace early the next morning to discuss.

Poor Hu Shangshu put himself into work before the year passed.

But for him, it was all worth it, and when he heard that glass could be made in large quantities and that all the revenue went to the treasury, his mouth couldn't stop smiling.

When he heard about the national debt, he was even more dumbfounded, he was shocked for a long time, looking at Xie Wan's eyes, as if he was looking at an immortal!
