Zhu Zhan set off earlier than his brother, but it was still not as good as the fast journey of the Raozhou business group. It's no wonder that this group of guys is under the banner of the Ministry of War, and no one dares to provoke or stop them along the way, and all the post stations have to be fed, drunk and horses.

Zhu Fatzi arrived in Jinzhou leisurely in a four-wheeled carriage, and the fast transmission had already received Li Dan's reply on the way back.

When Li Dan learned that 10,000 taels had bought out more than 300 calligraphy and paintings on Zhu Zhanji's hands, and he also promised to write five temporary posts to "make a meager contribution to the cause of education", he couldn't help but feel ecstasy, this is rich again!

Others who write online literature have to be officials, sons-in-law, marry princesses, and even lack virtue to make a fortune by making a fool of themselves and being abducted and cheated, and they don't know why they sit thousands of miles away and get rich at home, and the feudal era is not bad!

But when I calmed down and pondered it, I realized that something was wrong, in his previous life, Zhu Zhanji was famous because he was Xuande, a painter among the emperors. People did not make a mistake in painting, but contributed to the "rule of Renxuan", because of this, his paintings are valuable!

But now ......, a fifth-grade martial artist who has been wiped to the end, has been taken out of his real position, and has a false title, is not as good as himself, a middle-aged man with the scenery of a six-grade civil official, who escaped impeachment by relying on the shadow of his younger brother and came to Liaoning ...... thousands of miles away. Can his calligraphy and paintings be worth?

Smacking the bitterness in his mouth, Li Dan felt that since his aunt was in the palm of his eyes, his words should be passed, at least the kind that made people shine, the painting skills were ......, and he would know when he came!

He won't be bothered when he thinks about it like this, it's useless to think about it, and we'll meet again! If this benevolent brother is really a talented person, then even if he meets himself, he will be lucky, and he will be able to spend more effort to pick him up?

In the hands of children and grandchildren, these "real works" are still treasures! Merely...... It's just missing the emperor's aura.

When it comes to "children and grandchildren", Li Dan has some distress in his heart. When you don't have a baby, you want to have a baby, but it's really troublesome. When Trance told herself that she didn't have a period, Li Dan experienced a heart of joy and then sorrow.

I'm happy that I'm finally going to be a father, but I'm worried about what happened to A-Ying? The baby was not born in the main room, won't it be as embarrassing as himself in the future?

But he didn't want to give up this child, after all, it was a life, so let him come to the world, why let his hands do evil?

Another trouble is that the body is strong, and the trance that can withstand his nonsense is pregnant, and now all the firepower is concentrated on the peach girl who came with him in the name of taking care of his daily life, and the girl can't stand it three times, and begged for mercy again and again.

Li Dan also pitied her for being weak and didn't dare to mess around, but this kind of anxiety was difficult to get rid of for a while. Colleagues sent congratulatory gifts when they heard the good news, but Li Dan had a sad face.

Tao Niang felt sorry for herself for being useless, and Li Dan could only smile and hold her into her arms. What can he do, in Li Dan's opinion, he will only complain that the female rao guy is not a real man!

She also felt embarrassed, but she could only give some comfort now, and there was no other way. Alas, I knew that I was pregnant so soon, how good it would be to bring my sister with me?

Why are you so anxious, is it just because of the lack of women? Li Dan forced himself to meditate, calmed down and reflected. The conclusions he came to were unpleasant, but they should be true.

Eighteen-year-old Daizi patrolled, sat in a position equivalent to the vice governor, and controlled a much larger land area and nearly 200,000 various armed forces than Liaoning Province in the previous life, it is impossible without expansion!

Li Dan knows what to expect, he is better than the world and his peers in that he knows how to control and regulate himself, but he can't change the fact that his body is only eighteen years old!

The flesh is strong, but he can only sit in the room with the bureaucrats to discuss and talk. Now that Pan Chang has mastered the troops, it is better for this supervising army to show up less and steal the limelight.

Therefore, Li Dan returned to Liaoyang and continued to train troops, reorganize and renovate the Shandong Reserve Japanese Army, and the Haizhou soldiers whose training was not thorough in the early stage, and at the same time began to discuss the reform of the military town with his staff.

It's all kinds of meetings and exchanges, and although it's tiring, it's not the same thing as riding a horse. Li Dan was bored, but he had to do it. Anyway, I have to make myself move and not be idle, I have to do something, and I have nothing to do!

Li Dan suddenly remembered Huo Quai, a famous young man who had only lived for twenty-three years, and he was made a marquis at the same age as himself.

As a result, the enemy of the Xiongnu was gone, and he had no outlet to vent, so he actually did something as impossible as shooting Li Kang, and he "died of illness" the following year. Li Dan doesn't want to learn from this famous senior, even if he is a champion!

It's also a way to vent on women. There are no film and television works in these years, and when the candles are extinguished at night, isn't the rest of Qingqing and me?

Originally, Trance and Tao Niang could accompany him alternately, but suddenly Trance became pregnant, which made Li Dan suddenly seem to be blocked by a dam in the Giant Stream River in the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the whole person was not good.

His subordinates also noticed that he had been a little sullen lately, often speaking harshly or losing his temper, and everyone muttered in private that they didn't know what was going on. Wu Maoyou whispered beside him:

"Don't lose yourself at any time, Gongzi is a prisoner, not a commander, a political envoy, or even a governor or a consolation envoy, remember not to reach too far.

Now that the Khan had retreated to the steppes west of the Haravin Pass, General Pan had recovered Kulen and then advanced to Udan to build the city. Childe is right to worry that he is alone, but you are not the boss after all. ”

"I know, I'm not upset because of this." Li Dan smiled bitterly.

"Then are you because a large number of civil officials are about to come to the province, or is General Sun unhappy to hand over power?"

"CCB Province is really unhappy, not only is it difficult for General Sun Lao to accept, but I also feel awkward when civilian officials come to pick peaches. But we don't have a choice.

If the practice of military towns is still followed, resettlement, resettlement of people, recruitment of workers, and opening of factories will not go smoothly, can a bunch of civilian officials smooth all this? I don't have a score in my heart.

When the town was in charge, it was a game of military chess, and Lao Sun said a word. After the restructuring, the military and political affairs had to be divided into two parts: the internal guard and the elite forbidden army, and the military power was cut a lot, and the civil affairs simply could not intervene, and the old general was of course not happy.

However, he soon understood that if they changed the political envoys to the provincial government, they had a lot of room to play and create, and that the trade would be more prosperous.

When the facts tell them this, the old general will naturally not be angry anymore. So I'm not worried about that. ”

"And what are you pondering?" Wu Mao asked strangely.

"Woman!" Li Dan scolded the nerd several times in his heart, and then reluctantly told him. After listening to his worries, Wu Mao knew that Li Dan was worried about giving birth to a son like himself, and he was the eldest son, so he smiled and asked him not to think so much:

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what are you thinking about? You must be fine if you can cross him, otherwise it's useless for you to worry! Wu Maowan glanced at him again: "Are you sure it's a boy?" ”

Li Dan shook his head.

Wu Mao was angry: "You can really do it, we are all busy to death, but you are worried about such a shadowless thing!" ”

Li Dan hurriedly apologized, he thought to himself, where is this just a baby's business? But he was embarrassed by the latter words, so he pulled Wu Mao to discuss how to serve General Sun Bing.

Wu Mao told him not to worry about this first, now to build three forbidden army divisions and two brigades of field troops as a mobile force in the entire Liaoning Province, how to build, how to get the required firearms, artillery, and medicine, these are only afraid that General Sun will be confused.

He felt that Li Dan should take the initiative to talk to Mr. Sun about this, and by the way, maybe people would figure it out. Li Dan felt that it made sense, and went to the door to persuade him, but this effect is generally not too good!

Let's take a look at the stones and ask for directions", Li Dan sent a brief letter to the old general soldier, and General Ming visited him about assisting him in expanding the new army.

Mr. Sun replied that the third queen set up a family banquet to celebrate his granddaughter's birthday, and invited him to the banquet and talk about it. Li Dan called Sun Dezhi to ask, and it turned out to be the third daughter of his second uncle Sun Zhe, so he readily agreed.

When he went to the banquet, Li Dan was dressed in a plain white shirt with silver wealth and dark flowers, and a black moire with the same color.

Pedal on yellow carved cowhide fast boots, simply wear a black gauze skirt with a ponytail on his head, and twist a jade pendant sandalwood folding fan given to him by King Ding.

The waist is tied with a yellow cow leather belt with a copper tiger head, and there is a sachet made of peach girls, a short sword with a silver sheath given by Trance Er, and under the tassel is a string of beads strung by Sister Ning'er herself, with a bright lapis lazuli on the top, and six acacia red beans on the head.

He made the Qingke who received him at the door blink, and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him warmly, and someone else invited Mao Zai and Lu Jiu to eat and drink elsewhere.

When Sun Douen heard Li Dan arrive, he hurriedly took his three sons and Sun Dezhi, who had already returned home, to greet him in the courtyard.

Sun Zhe often saw Li Dan as a military selection clerk in the shogunate, and Sun Qi and Gao Fei dealt with the Seyan Department on the grassland, specializing in mutual market rules and dispute mediation.

Because of their fairness and the trust of the merchants on both sides, the Seyenbu gradually stabilized their positions after receiving food and weapons supplies, and gathered 15,000 men to constantly harass the troops on the western flank of the Korgas.

When Li Dan saw him, he praised him for doing a good job, and the twenty or so Rao were no less capable than a whole trainer, and he was happy to make Sun Zongbing laugh, and he had a lot of face in front of the guests. But the old fox, can he still not know Li Dan's intentions?

There was still a long time before the banquet began, and after a while, Sun Douen made his eyes wink. Sun Qing immediately found an excuse to pull his two younger brothers and son out together, and two of Sun Zongbing's personal guards guarded the gate.

"The children have no job, and some of the words are inconvenient for them to hear." The boss soldier got up and poured tea for Li Dan personally: "Alas, although the old man has three sons, only Dezhi's grandson has a little bit of Xiao me." ”

He sat down with a wry smile and waved his hand: "If you can't pass the Jinshi exam, you don't even bother to go to the county and government to be a clerk." Hmph, hands high and eyes low! This time, the second and third children came to you to do things, and I forced them. But they can do some practical things, and the old man still has to thank you! ”

"Why do you need to thank me? The younger generation just put the two brothers in a position that suits them, in fact, they are not bad at doing things, and they can be revealed whenever they have the opportunity. ”

Li Dan smiled: "In this restructuring, a large number of local officials are needed. If the second brother can enter the office's room, the third brother may be able to go to the household room, otherwise he will go to the trading company to be in charge of the business of the Seyan Department, as long as they are interested, the younger generation can recommend it. ”

Sun Douen didn't answer twice, "I heard that the emperor asked the cabinet to recommend the first political envoy of Liaoning Province, and there are three main candidates:

Zou Youguang, Taichang Temple, third place in the first class of Jingwu Chuke;

Guizhou Xuanzhi made Zhou Luyan, and his grandfather was Dingxiangbo Zhou Wenli, after the honor;

There is another one, Hu Guangbu political envoy Si Zuo participated in politics Yao Qing, this Jun Jinshi was born, and he was unable to enter the cabinet due to the rejection of Eryang in the previous ministry, and he was discouraged and begged for release.

Of the three, he has the best character and prestige. How, my lord is a person trusted by His Majesty, do you want to guess whose house this political envoy will fall into? ”

"The living room of the predecessors is really good, and it can be seen that the craftsman is talking with his heart." Li Dan didn't answer him immediately: "I am preparing to set up a Poli factory in Shenyang, and the Poli produced in the future can be supplied to the whole of Liao."

In that case, the winter in the house will be as warm as spring in the future, and there is no fear of overhearing when talking about confidential matters. ”

"Oh? And such a baby? Mr. Sun didn't believe it in his heart, thinking that this son was made up for a break and had nothing to say.

"After they finish, the first batch will install the boss's sleeping place and this living room, which can be regarded as a little respect for the younger generation." Li Dan arched his hand.

"Tsk, I'm a rough man with a martial artist, and I'm here compared to adults." Sun Douen sighed and tapped on the coffee table with the tips of his fingers:

"Even if you don't become an official, you can still be a rich man when you retire and gallop in the business sea, and once the old man becomes a bare pole, he can only sit on a cold bench in the governor's mansion of the five armies."

"Where would the boss have that?" Li Dan smiled and shook his hand: "The Liaodong Military Town was changed to the Liaoning Political Envoy Division, but it was not completely changed, and some of them remained in the military town."

For example, Tieling, Jinshan and Zhangwu are important ports in the north, west and south directions respectively, and the future trade between Husheng and Shandong will definitely pass through these points.

Therefore, the military town will not be poor, but the income will increase but only need to manage less than half of the city, how poor can it be? Again, in the past, when the eyebrows and mustaches were grabbed, all the people in Liaodi had to take care of them.

Now I only take care of what I should do, and then train the soldiers well, and the carriages are maintained, and wherever there is a policeman, they will rush like a tiger down the mountain. This is what His Majesty expects a soldier to look like. ”

Seeing that Mr. Sun was groaning with a white beard, Li Dan asked: "I have been to the mansion a few times, and I have not had much contact with the eldest prince, I don't know what he plans for his future?" ”

"Hey, you're on point!" When the boss heard this, his brows furrowed: "The boss went out to serve as a county magistrate, and then resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort, and now he is at home.

At the beginning of this year, a caravan passed by, and he had intended to follow the caravan to North Korea, but the Kels called his eldest son and could not leave home, so the matter had to be abandoned. ”

"I see." Li Dan nodded, in fact, he had already sent Sa to investigate these things. "Raozhou Trading Company has opened up the Liaodi market, and there are the best goods to provide, and the eldest brother can choose one or two things to do if he is interested."

"This ......, I'm afraid he's not this material."

"Don't worry, boss, with your status, the eldest brother can't go down in person, the general practice is to hire a big shopkeeper in the front, and the eldest brother can take care of it in the back."

"Eh, that's something to consider!" Sun Douen's eyes rolled slightly: "But the old man is not cheap to hire such a shopkeeper!" ”

Li Dan laughed: "If the boss can trust me, Dan is willing to help you find a second or third candidate." ”

"And how much does this share cost?"

"For example, the coal cake iron furnace is built outside Shenyang, and the cast iron of the steel plant can be used directly, and the coal from Fushun can be used as fuel.

With this, there is something warmer than a brazier in the house in winter, and it is convenient to boil water, cook, bake cakes, and dry clothes. Last year, thousands of stoves were sold in Liao, basically for the army and the yamen, and they were shipped from afar at a high price.

This year, there are nearly 100,000 immigrants alone, and I hope to sell 20,000 stoves! In this way, the business is more than twice as much as last year, close to three times, and I think 60,000 taels should be enough. ”

"Sixty thousand?" Mr. Sun was taken aback.

"It doesn't matter, the family can take some of it, and the rest can be used as collateral for loans, and you can handle it with the First Bank of Liaoning. You ask the eldest brother to go to the governor Wen Zishan ....... ”

The more lively the two become, the closer they become. When the official family came to report that the banquet was about to start, the three sons of the Sun family were arranged by Li Dan.

Sun Douen got up with Li Dan's support and said with emotion: "My family doesn't have a thousand-mile horse like you, it's a pity!" Even if it's a son-in-law, it's so wow! ”

"Haha, this junior can't help you." Li Dan knew that Sun Zongbing only had three sons, but eleven daughters!

However, there are at least six big girls in front of them who have been out of the cabinet, and although the next few do not clear the details, they should not be very old, and the most is only six years old, and this old soldier is really powerful enough!

"You know, you have a wife, a lady and a two-room concubine. But the concubines you brought aren't very old, are they? Heard that one of them is pregnant? The old man has not congratulated yet, so he turned around and quickly backed up the gift! ”

Sun Douen smiled, and even squeezed his eyes, which made Li Dan a little crying and laughing.

Well, this old guy even knows so clearly about the civil official candidates he is talking about in the capital, so he must have known about bringing his concubine to Liao. Slick!

At the banquet, everyone pushed the glass and changed the lamp before walking around, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door. Then someone came to report that something had arrived.

After careful questioning, I realized that it was Liu Xi, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he met his acquaintance Shi Dajun hooking Gu Da and Lai Wubao and was about to enter the restaurant, so he stopped and stopped the three of them.

Gu Da knew where Li Dan was going, so he hurriedly brought him to find him. Liu Xi first greeted everyone, and then told everyone that he was ordered to find Li Dan, and then congratulated him.

The people were astonished, and knew that there must be a will for the gift.

Fortunately, the commander of the old army was determined, and arranged for everyone to arrange the incense case, and then Liu Xi was gifted on behalf of the son, and announced that because of the great merit of the battle of Liaohe, he was awarded the general emblem of the Wupin Wujie Festival, and the rank of captain was honored.

Everyone applauded, and the congratulatory voices were endless. Li Dan knew that he seemed to be promoted again, but he only figured out that he could be called a general in the future, and his rank was raised by two levels, and he was surrounded by the crowd before he could figure out what was going on.

This is good, Mr. Sun made a decision on the spot, and the birthday banquet for his granddaughter became a congratulatory banquet for Li Dan at the same time, Li Dan had to send Lu Jiu back quickly, and urgently transferred five boxes of Fengquan wine to help the fun!
