Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 102

After dinner, Baoyu finally went to write a notebook, including all the situations he had recently investigated, and also wrote some suggestions of his own.

This tossing went late into the night, and Daiyu was grinding ink for him at first, and then she couldn't support it when she was sleeping on weekdays.

Qingwen took the dog's food bowl away, and then asked someone to clean the floor of the house again.Dian Dian Mo Mo was tired after arguing for a long time, so he got into the kennel and went to sleep after the special person gave them a bath and it was convenient.

When he finally finished writing the scriptures and was about to go to bed, only Mingyan was left standing on the ground, he waved his hand to let him go down to rest, he took off his clothes lightly and walked towards the bed, Daiyu was already fast asleep , she slept on the inner side of the bed, leaving a lot of space for him.

He took off his sandals and went up to cover the quilt, put his arms around her, and turned off the light with his hand.She dazedly rubbed against his chest and fell asleep again.A good night's sleep.

The next day, in the main hall of Chongzheng Palace, Shui Hong read his booklet for a long time, then closed his brows and frowned deeply.

Baoyu had already briefly explained the matter below, and after a while Shui Rong said: "It was our fault in the first place, so what if we lower our heads first? It's better than making Turkic angry. It's not that we are afraid of him, it's just that we can It is better not to fight for a peaceful solution.”

Gu An continued: "It's not difficult to bow your head, the main thing is how to lower your head beautifully, without losing the dignity of our great country. The Turkic ministries didn't really bow their heads to us, if this made them underestimate us, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future ah!"

Baoyu nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's best to sit down and negotiate."

After listening to them, Shuihong said: "What you said is reasonable. Baoyu said in the book that he hopes to bring the horse business back to the government?"

"That's right," he interjected, "horses are very important military resources, so it's safer to hold them in your hands. I don't have many good horses in the Central Plains, and I always need to buy them from Turks and Mongolia. The minister’s idea is to see if an agreement can be reached with the Turkic and Mongolian side, and the government will come forward to buy a large number of good horses every year, and then breed them through experiments to see if new horse breeds can be produced.”

Shui Rong Gu An was thoughtful, and Shui Hong nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Even if it is not possible, we can put an end to this phenomenon of shoddy goods. Except for the horses that are needed by the army, the horses bought back can be sold to the people by specific agents designated by the government, and a certain amount of profit can be collected from them."

"Most of what the Turks need is cloth, tea, porcelain, etc. We don't lack all of these. As for the horses used by the royal family, there are naturally tribute horses from various places every year, so they don't need to be included in this category."

Shui Rong laughed first: "Baoyu, if you go into business, why don't you drive those merchants to death? You're too shrewd."

Baoyu smiled, thinking that he was going to drive others to death now.There are more than a dozen shops in his and Jia Lian's names, involving various aspects, and the money he earns every year is innumerable!

Shui Hong first laughed when he heard the words: "He was the leader in Xiangge for so many years that day, so he was forced to open a restaurant."

After thinking for a while, he slapped the desk and smiled: "I think this method is feasible. You can also train your cavalry well with the horses. How about this, it happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival and my holy birthday soon, when the time comes I will definitely send envoys to pay tribute, and we will discuss this issue at that time. As for the Turkic merchants you mentioned, Baoyu, you should mediate first."

Baoyu bowed and said: "I obey the order." Then Shuihong gave him another task: "Then you can also take over the reception of the envoys, together with Gu Qing and the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Mid-autumn festival is coming, we must ensure that they safety, and don’t let them make trouble.”

Shuihong's birthday is on August 29, and this is the first time he has celebrated his birthday since he ascended the throne five years ago!In the first three years, it was said that he was keeping filial piety for the first emperor. In the fourth year, he was in Yangzhou, and he just had a meal with the queen's children, Water-soluble Baoyu. This year is his full 30th birthday.

Based on the significance of this time, there will definitely be envoys coming about a month in advance. At that time, so many affiliated countries will send people, and there will be mixed fish and dragons, so we must be careful.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely arrange it properly." He and Gu An bowed down again.

After talking about the business, Shuihong also relaxed, and began to care about their private affairs. "Ah Rong, when can I hug my little nephew?"

Shui Rong's face turned red, and he hesitated and said: "What's the rush, you just have Huaiyang Huai'an, if you want, how about letting your sister-in-law give birth to a little niece?" Shui Hong rolled his eyes at him.Huai'an is the character of the second prince Shui Xingmu, and Shui Xingyun's character is Huaiyang.

"The Queen just gave birth to Huai'an in less than a year, I'm afraid she'll hurt her body." Shui Hong is very considerate, since there are no outsiders here anyway, Gu An is considered a family.

"Then you go to someone else, I believe my sister-in-law won't care." Shui Rong continued to work without fear of death, and finally Shuihong couldn't bear it anymore and rewarded him with a shudder: "Did you say that? It's in vain that your sister-in-law is right." You're so nice! You actually urged me to find other women to make things difficult for her?!"

Baoyu sighed helplessly, Shuihong is really a rare infatuated emperor, he can't be moved by three thousand beauties in the harem.

"Then are you going to never touch other women for the rest of your life? I heard that not long ago, a spokesperson wrote to ask you to audition!"

Shuihong raised his eyebrows domineeringly and said: "Don't worry about him, can he still force me? It's just that the queen sometimes pushes me to go to other people, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"Sister-in-law is not willing either," Shui Rong put away his dishonest look, "I'm just afraid that you will be besieged by the ministers."

"I know, but I don't care about these things. Now our three children are all smart, and I have nothing else to ask for." They are still young, and they can have three or five children in the future, let alone brothers from the same mother. The relationship will be closer in the future.

Gu An can still understand their thoughts. He is still not like most scholars in the world.He only hopes to marry a good-natured and virtuous wife. The most important thing is that he sees things right. Although marrying a wife and a virtuous concubine are beautiful, he still wants to do it all at once.

Speaking of it, it is also fate, the few people Baoyu made friends with were all monogamous people in the ancient times when there were three wives and four concubines, otherwise a person like him who has a spiritual obsession with cleanliness would not know how to live.

Think about it, for example, Gu An has three or four concubines at home, so he will feel uncomfortable every time he sees him!

"Let's not talk about that, Baoyu, how are you and Yu'er doing lately?" He blinked at Baoyu, and Shui Rong answered for him: "It's very good, it's like not seeing each other every day, last time we were together Going out to play, he still dislikes me for disturbing their world!" They all laughed.

Baoyu pushed away Shui Rong who was winking at him and said with a smile: "What else can I do, just like that, it's not bad." However, the way he looked at Shui Hong clearly asked, "When are you going to give us a marriage?"

Shui Hong couldn't help smiling, and said: "That's good. You can bring her to the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so she won't be waiting for you at home alone, and Lin Ruhai is not here. How lonely. I'll let the queen take care of her." she."

Baoyu laughed: "Then I will thank the emperor on her behalf." Does this mean that the day of bestowing the marriage is not far away?Just thinking about it is so beautiful!

Before leaving, Shuihong said that he had recently acquired an ancient sword from the Han Dynasty, which was very sharp when cutting iron, but it was a bit heavy. He had many famous swords, but he didn't use them very much, so he gave this sword to him.So when he left the palace, he had an extra sword with an ebony sheath in his hand.

The tall and slender figure, the plump and handsome face, the purple-black flying fish suit and the expensive sword at first glance made the little palace ladies passing by blushed and secretly looked up at him until they were far away. Whispering and whispering.

"Hey, did you see it? That's the Commander-in-Chief of Jin Yiwei! He's so handsome!"

"Yeah, every time I see him, I can't help but look at him more! He's so young, I really like him!"

"Hmph, let's go, sir, is it that we little maids like us can climb high? Let's go!"

……

Baoyu turned a corner and exited the palace gate, got into the carriage, and ordered Tiaoyun to go to the horse farm on the outskirts of the city yesterday, he sat on the soft couch and smiled helplessly.Touch your face, is it really so attractive?

Sure enough, after a few days, missions from various countries entered the city one after another. They first handed over the documents to the emperor, and then Baoyu took them all the way to the posthouse where they were staying with the Jinyi Guards and the Minister of Rites.

In fact, ordinary small countries don't need him to help, and then he directly handed it over to Wuping.He is Wang Qi's transfer to the head of the Imperial City Army's rear department, and he is indeed good at doing things as Wang Qi said.Chen Fang is in charge of guarding the palace, so he won't be needed right now.

It was the seventh day of August, and it was already autumn. Baoyu had nothing to do, so she thought about moving to the hot spring courtyard for a while. She hadn't been there since it was built, so Daiyu would probably like it.

"Really? Then I'll ask someone to clean up!" She was really excited when she heard that. Although the mansion is nice, it will always be a little boring after living in it for a long time. It's rare that Baoyu has a lot of real estate. Naturally, it is necessary to make good use of resources. .

He smiled and held her down: "Okay, Mingyan and Qingwen are naturally worried about these things. I ordered them to go down yesterday, and we will leave today."

Mingyan's work efficiency is still very high. It was said in the morning that they could leave, so the two got into the carriage, followed by Mingyan Yinquan and other indispensable servants. As for the other servants in the villa There are all, even the daily food, vegetables and meat are prepared.

Mingyan sent the news yesterday that the people over there have arranged everything and are waiting for the masters to go.

Baoyu told Yinquan not to delay his attention to outside news. Although Xishan is not very far from his residence, it is still in the deep mountains and the news is blocked. It would be bad if something important is delayed.

"Grandpa, don't worry," Yinquan rode a horse to protect the carriage, and laughed when he heard him say this, "Fu'er is watching everything outside! Don't you know his skills? If there is any trouble, it will definitely happen." Let you know as soon as possible!"

Baoyu nodded, he could still trust Fu'er.Yinquan and the others have been with him for more than ten years, so they still dare to joke with him sometimes, and they don't speak with the same sincerity as other new servants.

He also didn't want everyone around him to be afraid of him, which was fine.

Daiyu opened the curtain and looked out. It was mid-morning, and there were many people coming and going. There were many barbarians with high noses and deep eyes, and big men with strange shapes.

She put down the curtain and said to Baoyu, "There are so many foreigners, nothing will happen, right?" Many people look grumpy and aggressive at first glance!

He hooked his lips into a smile, and didn't care much: "Where there are people, fights are inevitable, but if they dare to make trouble in the imperial city, then it's a good time to try my new sword."

This is about the Han sword. He went back and tried it that day. It was indeed heavier than the current general swords, but it really cut iron like mud, and this weight was nothing to him.

The blade of the sword is cold, and there are complicated and simple patterns on the body of the sword, full of charm, even the scabbard is made of ebony with a thousand years of age, without any gemstones, the brilliance is restrained, which is very suitable for him.

Man, he seems to be born with a kind of enthusiasm for this kind of cold weapon, and he feels very handsome in his hand.So the sword was in the car at this time, and he would basically bring it with him when he came out now.

He didn't have much actual combat experience, and his hands were already itchy. Besides, he had been using his palms and legs for a long time, and he wanted to try how it felt to use a weapon.

Not long after he finished speaking, he heard a commotion ahead, Tiaoyun reined in his horse, and the car stopped.

"What's going on?" She poked her head out to look suspiciously, and Mingyan's voice was already heard outside: "Master, it seems that two gangs of foreigners are fighting, right here in our Tianxiang Pavilion, the tables are all broken A few, the wood flew outside!"

It turned out that the Tianxiang Pavilion was right in front of them, and they were going to pass by this place, but they didn't expect to come across such a place.

"Tsk..." He raised his eyebrows and said in a cool tone, "They are so lucky!" They happened to run into me.I messed up my place, how should I clean it up?

Daiyu turned back, seeing his expression, couldn't help but feel a chill down her back, and silently recited a sentence of Buddha for the two hapless bastards.Good luck to you!

The author has something to say: Come back tonight!
