"Okay."

Fu Qiufang took a sip of it, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart as if she had collapsed. glanced at Li Weijian carefully, and secretly thought in her heart, she really didn't see it wrong, this Li Gongzi is a gentleman.

If someone else is changed, where will she care about such a troublesome thing? is to covet her color, just sweet words coaxing, when you can get your hands on it, she turns her face and denies it, what can she do?

Li Weijian bowed his head and said: "That's it, I'll ask Wu Haiping to send you back." ”

waved in the distance, and when Wu Haiping got close, Li Weijian ordered, and Wu Haiping said, "Miss Fu, let's go?" ”

Fu Qiufang should go down and follow Wu Haiping's selfish alley to go out. walked out for more than ten steps, turned his head to look, but saw Li Weijian still standing in place. She bent down again, and then followed Wu Haiping out of the private alley.

Li Weijian saw that the pretty figure was hidden in the corner of the wall, so Shi Shiran returned from the side door. He wondered in his heart, and he didn't know who told Fu Qiufang that his mentor Yan Xiyao had said that even if Fu Qiufang's case was broken, he would not be able to die. Clear-eyed people know that the stolen silver was taken away by the former Shuntian Mansion Yin, and this Fu tried to be just a backstopper.

It's great to chase down the text of the birth, and distribute three thousand miles.

As for Fu Qiufang, this girl really agrees with Li Weijian. Intelligent, virtuous, grateful, clear grievances, hidden needles, very assertive, and kind-hearted, not a troublemaker.

However, his background is too poor, otherwise it is just right to be his wife. Now I can't, so I can only be a concubine by my side.

Ming'er went to Yan Xiyao to listen again, and always asked about the case clearly, which can be regarded as an explanation to Fu Qiufang.

He went back to the small courtyard and sat for a while, then he saw Qingwen fall and hang her face. After a little thought, I knew that the little girl was only afraid that she would eat it. immediately pulled over and coaxed her, until Qingwen was red-faced and red-eared.

The next day, Yan Xiyao rested on this day. Li Weijian went to Yan's Mansion early in the morning, and first talked to the second son, Yan Fengzhen, for a long time, and then went to see his teacher.

In the study, Yan Xiyao's body was vain, and he heard Yan Fengzhen's belly slander, saying that the old teacher had combed a pretty maid yesterday.

Li Weijian observed his words and looks, and knew that his teacher was in a good mood, so he simply teased: "At such an age, the teacher still has to pay a little attention to his body." ”

Yan Xiyao said: "Pay attention to a fart!" In a few years, I won't have a chance to pay attention to it. ”

Li Weijian smiled dumbly, and saw Yan Xiyao impatiently said: "If you have something to say, you will be very tired." ”

"Yes. Teacher, Fu tried that case...... How will it be judged in the end? ”

"Huh?" Yan Xiyao raised his eyes and swept the measurements, stared at Li Weijian for a long time, and suddenly smiled and nodded twice: "Fu Xian has a younger sister, it is rumored that the country is beautiful and fragrant, Qiao Langzhong didn't see him when he went to Fu Xian's house, could it be ...... In the hands of the resurrected? ”

Li Weijian laughed and was speechless. This old teacher doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and he can't hide his eyes at all. It was he who simply acquiesced.

Yan Xiyao smiled and said earnestly: "Young people are in the right place." ”

Li Weijian gave up his hand again and again, annoyed by Fang Cai's ridicule.

Yan Xiyao laughed a few times, and then said, "What else?" For the sake of a case, you can't go all the way to call Governor Wang back from Yungui, right? A few days later, when the case file of the Criminal Department was submitted to the imperial case, the saint had his own opinions. Or Liaodong, or Liuqiongya, in short, don't want to go back to the Central Plains in this life. After a pause, he asked, "That woman asked Fusheng to excuse Fu Trial?" ”

"She only asked for her brother to be spared the death penalty."

Yan Xiyao said with some envy on his face: "It's cheap, it's resurrected." ”

With a sigh of emotion, Yan Xiyao turned to say: "I met Da Sikong yesterday, and I also mentioned resurrection. It has been almost three months since the Ministry of Industry was reincarnated to calculate the range of artillery, but there are results? ”

"Teacher, the student has already measured the range meter, but now the student is on the cusp, I'm afraid that it will not be good to show off again, right?"

Yan Xiyao bowed his head and said: "I know that I am clumsy, and I am quite smart." However, since you have worshipped me as a teacher, what is there to fear? is against Chen Hongmou, with me, I can also ensure a comprehensive recovery. ”

Li Weijian was not in a hurry to agree, but frowned and thought to himself. The teacher is an old fox, and he never speaks without purpose. Last month, I let myself be obscure, and this month I suddenly made myself arrogant, which is ...... Could it be that the situation has changed?

Now that the new party is growing in wings, the old party can only parry and has no power to fight back. Did the teacher see that the situation was out of balance at this time, because he wanted to stand on his own mountain, join forces with the old party, and then fight against Chen Hongmou's new party?

The more he pondered, the more likely it became, he frowned, and said, "The teacher is going to face that Chen Hongmou?" ”

Yan Xiyao smiled on his face, and his heart appreciated this student more and more. The so-called drum does not need a heavy hammer, Li Fusheng is naturally smart, and he is really thorough! Much better than his two stupid sons!

However, it was difficult for him to have an heir, and he only had two sons, even a daughter. If not, he really wants to take Li Weijian as his son-in-law, so after a hundred years, the family business will be taken care of by Li Weijian, and it is expected that it will not fall for decades.

Stunned, Yan Xiyao said: "Recently, Chen Hongmou and his party have been impeached one after another, and the sage still complied with it before, but now he has hesitated. The way of the emperor is nothing more than dissenting opinions, balancing the situation, and now the old party is declining, I am afraid that the saint will be uneasy in his heart. ”

Li Weijian heard the strings and knew the elegance, and said tentatively: "The teacher is about to enter the cabinet?" ”

"Where is it so fast? It's going to take another year or two. "Yan Xiyao can only show his complacent face when he faces his own people.

Li Weijian congratulated again and again, and if the thigh of Teacher Xindao entered the pavilion, it would become thicker and stronger. There is a teacher sheltering, don't want to trouble him Li Weijian when he is young.

The master and apprentice immediately said something, Yan Xiyao taught him face-to-face, so that Li Weijian could be like this, like this, and stand on his own, he had to create some momentum first. Li Weijian was instructed, so he took the order and left.

Today, Li Weijian was not in a hurry to go to the firearms test range of the Ministry of Industry outside the city, but instead walked towards the newly bought house.

He doesn't have much to do with Fu Qiufang, the girl, and it's good to talk about some things on the surface, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

After a while, Wu Haiping stopped the carriage and horses, and Li Weijian got out of the carriage, and saw Jia Yun and the leading craftsmen pointing towards the gate.

When I heard it, I realized that after the wall expanded the two into the house, the gate was not in the middle, how could I see how awkward, because Jia Yun wondered if the gate would be moved? But if the gate is moved, the door and the corridor will not be matched with the main gate.

Li Weijian said: "It's good as it is, the house that has been expanded is also separated by a wall, and it is good to leave a moon door for me to enter and exit." ”

Jia Yun received the order, and Li Weijian entered the mansion. When he entered the courtyard, Wu Zhong, who was accompanying him, said from afar: "Miss Fu, our son-in-law is here." ”

Xu has experienced what happened yesterday, and this girl has already regarded herself as Li Weijian's person in her heart, because she went to the door of the room and invited: "Li Gongzi might as well come in and have a cup of tea." ”

"It's fine."

Inside, Li Weijian glanced around, and saw that the picks in this room were extremely neat, the kang head was placed in a basket, and half of the green leafy vegetables were picked inside.

Seeing Li Weijian's attention, Fu Qiufang said: "Wu Zhong and the Ding family brothers don't think they can eat with those craftsmen, so I will help cook." ”

Li Weijian was surprised: "You can also cook?" ”

Fu Qiufang said: "Those who are small and small, sometimes they have to come by themselves, and they are not as rich as Rongguo Mansion. ”

Li Weijian opened his robe and sat down with a smile, and said, "It's good to do it yourself, you can do it yourself." ”

Fu Qiufang didn't respond, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Li Weijian. Li Weijian thanked him, took it and took a sip, the tea was bitter and the fragrance was almost none.

Raising her eyes and looking over, Fu Qiufang drank to herself, as if she was willing to eat.

Li Weijian admired the woman in front of him more and more, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Fu, I have inquired about Brother Ling's case, and I can probably save my life......" He immediately briefly said the opinion of the teacher Yan Xiyao.

Fu Qiufang lowered his head and listened, his face was slightly gloomy, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked, "Gongzi Li, what about the stolen silver?" ”

"It's not the same, it's about 3,000 miles of exile, if you don't get forgiven, don't think about going back to the Central Plains in this life."

Fu Qiufang groaned slightly, and said, "Please also ask Li Gongzi and me for four thousand one hundred taels of silver." ”

Li Weijian wondered: "It's not the same, the girl still has to pay it back?" ”

Fu Qiufang said: "It's always the karma owed by the Fu family, and I returned the stolen silver, which has eliminated the karma for my brother, and I feel a little more at ease." ”

Li Weijian looked at Fu Qiufang in front of him carefully, and saw that he was quiet and calm, and he looked at him slightly, so he lowered his head, as if he was as clean as he was from the inside out, and couldn't help but appreciate more and more in his heart.

Because he said: "Actually, Miss Fu waited for some time, and after the delivery of Brother Ling, she could take the plate I gave me and go to the Daimyo Mansion to find relatives." ”

Fu Qiufang said: "My brother still wants to send me to someone else to be an outer room, not to mention my aunt who has not been in contact for a long time. Li Gongzi doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. ”

"Okay, I'll send you the silver ticket tomorrow."

Fu Qiufang got up and thanked him, and didn't say anything else. Li Weijian is not a good person, but he is not a villain who takes advantage of others. The girl he admires, he respects it from the bottom of his heart.

Knowing that Fu Qiufang's mind was chaotic, he didn't stay long, drank all the tea in the cup, and then got up and came out.

Out of the wing, when Li Weijian walked out, Wu Zhong followed suit. Although he didn't say anything, his face drooped, and his thoughts were written on his face.

Li Weijian stopped and said: "It's okay, who will show your face?" Come here early tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to see the test firing of firearms, so that you can know what it means that times have changed. ”

Wu Zhong pouted and said: "Then how can it change, can there be fewer brave people?" ”

Li Weijian shook his head with a smile, too lazy to distinguish with this kid. Wu Zhong is right, no matter how it changes, there are few brave people in the army, but when he enters the era of firearms, the courage of the era of cold weapons has become dispensable.

What is lacking today are brave sergeants who strictly abide by military discipline and can move forward in unison without changing their faces in the face of the guns that come at them, what they lack is junior officers who can strictly implement military orders after receiving them, and professionals who can calculate the artillery elevation angle needed to suppress the opponent's artillery group after a calculation.

There is no shortage of brave people like Wu Zhong who wield cold weapons and have no skills.

In the turn of the day, Li Weijian pinched the hour, and arrived at the firearms test site outside the city near noon. After sweeping around, the test range was as usual, but there were a few more officials from the Qin Tianjian in the pergola on one side.

Wu Zhong craned his neck to look at the several artillery pieces that were test-fired, and pouted for a long time: "Childe, that's it?" ”

"Huh?"

He puffed out his chest and said, "How many people can you hit with this shot?" I had the skill to fire a cannon, and I was already running close with a spear. ”

Li Weijian glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "This is just two cannons, and there are only two of them above your Dao army array?" ”

"How many doors are there?"

"There are always more than 100 doors. Just imagine, you are in a line of charge, and a hundred cannons are aimed at the same angle, and at least thirty percent of the cannons are smashed into the queue, what are the chances of surviving? ”

Wu Zhong didn't know the probabilities, but as long as he thought about firing a salvo of a hundred cannons, the bowl-sized cannons smashed all over the place, and he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Wu Zhong was unwilling and asked: "Childe, I look at the more than 100 soldiers in the Inspection Division, but it is just a small cannon, and there are so many artillery pieces on the military array?" ”

"Just more, no less." Li Weijian said: "The garrisons in the north and south of Dashun are different, the southern army wants coastal defense, a team of more than 100 people, there are always sixty percent of firearms, and each town has a separate artillery team; The inland is just a bandit, and the firearms are about forty or fifty percent; However, this northern Beijing camp and border army, a team of soldiers are seventy percent firearms, one and a half bows and arrows, and one and a half double-armored heavy infantry.

The horse team was armed with two short guns and a number of thunderbolts for charging into battle. ”

"So much?" Wu Zhong couldn't help but be speechless.

"Many? Oh, let me say, it's not more, it's less. How did you lose the defeat of Qinghai last year? ”

Wu Zhong shook his head, looking dazed.

Li Weijian said: "Dzungaria is full of cavalry, the first 5,000 elites, two short and one long three muskets, followed by 800 camel cannons, the fight is endless, the officers and soldiers really can't bear it, so they are defeated." (Note 1)

Wu Zhong only thought about it for a moment, and his heart was shaken.

After a long time, he said: "Saying this, the two armies are firing artillery and guns dozens of paces apart, isn't there no short-handed encounter?" ”

"I can't say no, I can only say that there are very few. Now they are all shooting at each other, and whoever can't bear the strength and retreats, the winner can send cavalry to cover the past. ”

"This ...... This ...... "Wu Zhong is younger than Li Weijian, and he was thinking about learning martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.

As a result, after more than ten years of hard training, it took success, and the world has changed! A martial artist like him, who is good at cold weapons, has no use in the military array! How can this be embarrassing?

Li Weijian patted Wu Zhong on the shoulder: "That's why I said, times have changed." ”

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of a group of officials walking in with a soft sedan chair. When the soft sedan chair fell, an official in a scarlet robe came out from the inside, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the great Sikong Gu Weiyue.

"Stay by the sidelines, don't move." After an explanation, Li Weijian hurriedly greeted him.

Note 1: This is the elite equipment of the Dzungar side when the Qing army was fighting with the Dzungars.
