Chapter 148 Volume 3 Man Jianghong
As soon as You Dechuan was sent away, You Miao went into the bamboo forest in the backyard. Qiao Jue was drunk and was washing her face under the service of a maid. You Miao went in and said, "Uncle, how much money do we have?"
Qiao Jue smiled and said, "I'm planning to show you the account book in the next few days, in case you're too tired to rest, come here."
Qiao Jue ordered people to light the lamps, and said, "There are still some at Brother Li's."
Li Zhifeng also went to get a box, and the three of them sat down in the courtyard of listening to the bamboo, the wind and bamboo rustled outside, Qiao Jue made tea, and the aroma was lingering, You Miao was sitting on a wealth of wealth, so very comfortable!
Li Zhifeng: "I exchanged the 400 taels of silver bills you asked Guangwu to bring back with silver, and put them in the warehouse."
You Miao immediately became excited when she thought of the oil and water she and Pingxi had jointly fished for when the big family in the capital fled south.
Li Zhifeng also said: "This is the output of the villa in one year, 400 taels of silver. There were still [-] shi of grain in storage. Last year, there was a flood, and [-] shi of the relief was opened, and now there are [-] shi of it... ..."
You Miao looked at the output and income of the villa once, and finally Li Zhifeng gave a movable amount of silver taels, a total of 5000 taels.Then it was Qiao Jue's side. Qiao Jue was in charge of four shops in Yangzhou City, and the money for the shops was calculated separately.Qiao Jue always likes to buy low and sell high, buy and sell, and the business of the four stores is getting bigger and bigger. A few years ago, she bought a large frontage facing the street and planned to turn it into a restaurant. There are more than ten thousand taels.
When the two sides are combined, and the odds are erased, there are 4 taels.
You Miao couldn't help sighing, but Qiao Jue smiled and said, "You earned 4000 taels in three months in the capital, and my uncle was so busy vomiting blood that he only made seven or eight thousand taels a year. It's better to be an official these days to make more money." .”
You Miao smiled and said, "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, otherwise why so many people have sharpened their heads and drilled into the officialdom?"
The nephew and uncle laughed.
You Miao took the account book and asked Qiao Jue to prepare the money for the spring to buy seeds, and went back to the room with Li Zhifeng. You Miao took Li Zhifeng's hand, and sat down when they passed the corridor, staring blankly at the brilliant starry sky.
Li Zhifeng: "What are you thinking?"
You Miao was a little surprised. Li Zhifeng rarely asked him this question on his own initiative. He glanced at Li Zhifeng and replied, "I miss you, I miss myself, I miss this family, I miss my country, and I miss the world."
Li Zhifeng said: "Nie Dan asked me to enter the court as an official."
You Miao was taken aback and said, "Why didn't he tell me?"
Li Zhifeng didn't answer, looked at You Miao, and You Miao said, "Do you want to go?"
Li Zhifeng replied lightly: "I rejected it."
You Miao nodded. If Li Zhifeng entered the court, he could only be a military officer, and as a military officer, he would go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. With Li Zhifeng's ability, You Miao was not afraid that he would be in danger, but in terms of his status, he was not a Han Chinese. Let him It would be too unfair to him to bear the fate of the Han people.
What's more, if he lost a battle, he would be beheaded. Of course Zhao Chao didn't dare to cut him off, but for the sake of the apocalypse, it's not a big deal to be punished if he loses a battle.Most likely Nie Dan was interested in Li Zhifeng's ability and experience in fighting barbarians.
"Why did you come back that day." You Miao said, "Because you missed me?"
Li Zhifeng leaned against the pillar and sat on the railing. You Miao moved over, raised her head up along his chest, and kissed his lips.
When his lips parted, Li Zhifeng looked into You Miao's eyes and said, "Part of it is because I miss you, and the other part is that you guys knelt down to me at Languan."
You Miao: "..."
Only now did You Miao realize that it was their kneeling in the snow that moved Li Zhifeng.
"There's nothing wrong with you leading the troops." You Miao said, "Actually, I want you to go... It's just that Tianqi has no position and asks you to work for it."
Li Zhifeng stared at the dark mountains in the quiet night, and said: "I also want to drive the Jie people out, at least don't let them stay on the other side, and they won't sleep well at night."
You Miao laughed, understood Li Zhifeng's thoughts, nodded and said, "I'll go figure out a way, and let Zhao Chao and Nie Dan come, let's discuss it."
Li Zhifeng said again: "We need to raise some soldiers."
That's right, You Miao also remembered, and always felt that there was something unfinished before.When checking the accounts yesterday, he also had this idea vaguely.But he has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know how many people he needs to support to protect this villa.
"200 people." Li Zhifeng said: "Let me train, self-protection is enough."
You Miao asked: "But the barbarians come here in the tens of thousands. Is 200 enough?"
"Enough." Li Zhifeng said lightly: "Wars are not about exchanging lives, but about keeping everyone alive."
Hearing what Li Zhifeng said, You Miao felt at ease. Although 200 soldiers are considered a huge scale in the south of the Yangtze River, You Miao once served as a civilian in the Gyeonggi Army and knew that raising 200 people is a big deal for his current family business. That being said, it's not a burden at all.
"Where do you find people?" You Miao asked again.
"Buy." Li Zhifeng said: "Buy at the market in Yangzhou."
You Miao hummed. In fact, if Li Zhifeng is willing, it would be a good choice to serve as the general of the border guards. With the country's money to guard his villa, everything will be guaranteed.But now the situation is unclear, and we can't place too much expectations on Nie Dan.It doesn't work to rely on anyone, you have to rely on yourself first.
And it is not so easy to drive away the barbarians - if you want to fight, you need soldiers. He doesn't know how many soldiers are left now, but at least he knows one thing - Sun Yu didn't send troops, which proves that the situation is really serious. trouble.
Perhaps Jiangnan now only has the power to protect himself, and the rest can only be left to time.Fortunately, after the big battle last night, the Jie people have realized that the natural danger of the Yangtze River is difficult to break through, so they can only withdraw to Peixian County, garrison the ancient tea-horse road, and wait for reinforcements from the north.
The two sides have not yet signed a letter of war, nor have they negotiated a settlement. The five hus are staring at the north bank, and Jiangbo Villa has become the forefront of the entire south of the Yangtze River.A few days later, You Miao was going to Yangzhou for a trip. Of course, with Sun Yu's order, he would not rush into the government.
This time, he was just traveling with Li Zhifeng to find out the news over there, and take a look at his own shops by the way.Li Zhifeng is responsible for going to the market to buy people.
Farming started in the villa, and the tenants came back one after another. When they saw You Miao passing by, they all stood up and greeted You Miao.
"Young Master! Huren can't fight!" Someone shouted.
"It's okay!" You Miao said with a smile: "I'm here! They dare not come over!"
"The young master is Tan Hua Lang! Bless you for a good harvest!"
You Miao: "For sure! This year is another good harvest!"
The atmosphere in the villa was the same as before, except for a few rumors about the North Shore, everything was the same.The two suspension bridges have been abandoned and were temporarily demolished by Li Zhifeng.A tall wooden tower stands on the cliff on the bank to monitor the movement on the other side.
The ships retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the market in Guozhuang replaced Anlu and became a distribution center for supplies. You Miao first visited the market in Guozhuang a few times, and found that grain and rice were nearly twice as expensive as before. During the war, a large number of northern scholars went south. Flee, presumably everything has gone up in price everywhere.Fortunately, Jiangbo Villa is self-sufficient in fish, rice, vegetables and oil. According to Qiao Jue's intention, it is necessary to stockpile food first and not to sell it.
