The Red House starts from Liaodong

Seeing that her daughter was about to cry after being scolded by him, Feng couldn't help feeling distressed.

Pity the parents of the world.

The method may go wrong, but the worry cannot be let go.

"When the general comes back, he will definitely come to see his son. You should seize the opportunity, and you'd better be pregnant."

The more children you have, the more secure your status.

Old age will not fall to a bleak end.

"Why is Mrs. Qin's detached status? Even Mrs. Jia is polite, because she gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

If you also give birth to so many for the general, I will leave you alone. "

Xiangling looked at her mother pitifully.

During the year of her pregnancy and childbirth, she couldn't do anything, and her mother was strict with her, so she finally relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Feng couldn't help but criticize.

"You are also lucky. You met the general, and the general doesn't pay attention to the rules. If you are placed in another house, what will you do with your temper?"

"Zhou Ji's family is here."

Someone shouted from the yard outside.

Zhou Ji and Li Dun are the oldest housekeepers in the Marquis of Pingliao Mansion, and they have great power. The wife of his family is the daughter-in-law in charge of the mansion, and the Feng family dare not treat them lightly.

He hurriedly pulled Xiangling to the outside room, just in time to see Zhou Ji's house who had just walked in.

Zhou Ji's family, with her daughter, although the two looked hurried, they had smiles on their faces.

"The general will be here tonight."

"Didn't it mean that the new gold has passed, why wait until night."

Feng asked in bewilderment.

"The general sent someone to say, to avoid disturbing the people, so I chose to enter the city at night."

Hearing the explanation, Feng couldn't help sighing.

"It's really caring for the people. It's not like the nobles in China."

"The general has always been like this. When we were in Donghaibao, we strictly prohibited military households from being oppressed. My family was a small flag under the general's command at that time."

After a few people chatted and laughed, Zhou Ji's family was about to leave.

Feng Shi asked the mother and daughter in front of her to stay, saying that there were many things to do, and they would come to play again in the future.

After seeing the two leave with his own eyes, Feng Shi complained to Xiangling.

"Even Yinger got the news first, and our yard was the last to know about it."

Xiangling couldn't help explaining.

"Just now Zhou Ji's family also said that Ying'er happened to be there when I went to Sister Xue's place."

Feng Shi stopped complaining.

outside the house.

Ding Shengan sat in the side hall for a while, when Li Dun rushed over in person.

"The general said that all the horse markets in the future will be handed over to the government. This is the relevant account book. Please pass it on to Madam for review.

If there is no problem, I will hand it over according to the account book. "

"This kind of trivial matter, where do you need to come in person?"

Li Dun said politely.

"There is no small matter in the house. Since I have the trust of the general and manage the general's family business, of course I will be cautious in my work."

Ding Shengan then asked again, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"

Eight or nine years ago.

Ding Shengan still can't forget it.

At that time, Tang Qing'an, who was only a hundred households, went to Zhenyuan Fort to meet his father for the first time with his brothers from the Wu family and the son of the Chen Ce family.

A group of soldiers led by his father went hunting in the mountains.

A policy of smuggling grassland horses into the market was established.

Among the people at that time, who would have thought that among them, Tang Qing'an's achievements today. …

His father died, and the imperial court gave him a pension. He also inherited his father's position and was promoted to a higher level. However, Beizhen was in danger at that time, so he did not go to take the position.

That is to say, one day the situation will improve, to inherit the ancestral position, and to temporarily settle down under Tang Qing'an.

by coincidence.

Missed the opportunity to join Jin Jiangzhen.

Tang Qing'an values ​​experience the most.

His sworn brother, because he worked from the beginning to the end and made many contributions, was able to be promoted all the way to the chief soldier.

The rest are even his in-laws.

The brothers of the Wu family, Xue Bian, Qin Zhong and others, also started as small officials, without special care.

His brother Tang Zhanwang only works on the periphery.

Whether it is the head of the military division or the head of the government, it is not his relatives, but outsiders.

Cronyism does not exist here in Tang Qing'an, only meritocracy.

of course.

There is still some care for relatives, but they all need to start from the bottom, and they must have talents themselves.

Jia Jian, who joined halfway, also risked his life and made great contributions to Mongolia many times.

Coupled with his talent and ability, he finally occupies a high position.

General Lian's favorite, Liu Xianglian, was sent to dangerous places like Shaanxi, trained for several years, and then sent to Japan, but was not directly promoted.

So Ding Shengan saw clearly and had a clear understanding of his own talents.

Missed the opportunity before Jinjiang Zhen established the town, and now he joins Jinjiang Town, it is difficult to get the status he wants.

So he directly started from other aspects, and gradually became the person in charge of the general's family business and running around outside.

Not only has the friendship between the two been preserved, but also his status in Jinjiang Town has been guaranteed. Although he is not a big boss, everyone has given him face.

The horse market is the largest family property of the general, and Ding Shengan feels uneasy if he loses this source.

"Madam said that the general's explanation must be important and must not be mistaken, but the family business is related to the family and should not be taken lightly.

Not only must the horse market be completely handed over to the government, but also cooperate with the officials so that they can take over smoothly. "

Li Dun said in admiration.

Although the wife from Jia's mansion is young, she has the courage to do things, and she can let go and accept, which is really amazing.

"Madam said that in the future, the domestic ginseng trade will probably be handed over, and only the ginseng trade in the sea trade of Jeju Island will be kept.

Let Mr. Ding focus on this matter and make preparations in advance so as not to panic when things come to an end. "

Jinjiang Town's finances are all spent on millions of soldiers and civilians.

The land is produced by mu, and domestic businessmen's business in Lushun, Jeju Island's business, and so on are all the same.

The expenses of the Marquis of Pingliao Mansion come from family property.

Moreover, several businesses originally developed by the generals were gradually transferred to the government.

For example, the horse market trade arranged before going to sea.

There is no ginseng in the traditional sea trade commodities.

After the general's plan, he strongly praised the efficacy of ginseng, and pushed all the credit for healing Mrs. Qin to ginseng.

There are also visible effects such as ginseng getting angry and nosebleeds after eating too much ginseng.

Coupled with the ethos of keeping ginseng in the wealthy families in China, it finally opened a breakthrough from missionaries like Wang Fengsu. …

The mysterious life-saving medicine of the mysterious oriental country quickly became a bestseller.

Air-dried ginseng is easy to store and does not occupy the shelf, so it is very suitable for long-distance transportation.

The origin of ginseng has long been exhausted in China, and only Nuergansi and North Korea are unique.

There was a war between the barbarians and Dazhou, and the smuggling of ginseng was affected, and the generals controlled ginseng in North Korea.

Domestic ginseng prices are rising day by day.

The price is already high, and with the exquisite box made by the craftsman, it can be sold at a sky-high price of 300 taels in Jeju Island.

"Madam's arrangements are very good, but North Korean ginseng has been gradually extinct because of too much digging, and we need to send people to Nuer Gansi to mine it."

The general once said that there are not many ginseng in North Korea. With such a scale of exploitation, it is estimated that it will be the same as Shanxi in a short time, and the ginseng will disappear.

"The general will be back tonight. Mr. Li will stay for a few days. After seeing the general, he can ask the general himself how to deal with this matter."

Li Dun suggested.

This remark fit Ding Sheng'an's heart very well.

He hadn't seen the general for a long time, and he was looking forward to the opportunity to meet the general in person.

And it's the end of the year.

Ding Sheng'an wanted to hand over all the accounts of foreign affairs to the inner government. There were many and complicated things, and he could not leave Jinzhou in a short time.

At any moment someone would come out and ask him about details in the books.

Li Dun is the big housekeeper, and Ding Shengan is the person in charge outside, so Li Dun personally sent Ding Shengan to the gate.

The two were saying goodbye when they met more than a dozen bodyguard riders who came back early, and the leader was none other than Li Rujing.

"Brother Jing is back."

Li Dun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Rujing dismounted, handed the horse over to the others, and sent it to the stable in the mansion.Li Rujing, who is in his early twenties, is not only powerful, but also exudes vigor.

"Uncle Li."

His mother has been in the mansion for many years, and everyone respectfully calls her Mrs. Zhou, and she is also the adopted son of the general. Li Dun regards him as the younger generation in the family.

"It's not polite to see you, Uncle Ding."

Li Rujing recognized Ding Shengan only after Li Dun reminded him, and he didn't dare to neglect, and was about to salute when Ding Shengan stopped him.

"Uncle Ding."

Li Rujing was in the army, Ding Shengan was in western Liaoning, and the two of them hadn't met much in these years.

Ding Shengan looked at the young man in front of him with a sigh.

"When you were behind the general, when I saw you, you were still a half-year-old." Ding Shengan touched Li Rujing's arm affectionately, only to feel that it was full of muscles.

Li Rujing smiled.

Time flies.

He has been in the army for many years and has killed countless enemies. He is no longer the timid boy he was back then.

If he hadn't met Ding Sheng'an, he wouldn't have remembered what happened in Zhenyuan Fort back then.

Ding Sheng'an is a sensible person, knowing that Li Rujing came back early and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't nag too much, and took the initiative to leave after a few words.

Watching Ding Shengan leave politely, Zhou Dun pulled Li Rujing in and asked where the general was.

"The general is resting in the temple on the mountain. When he enters the city at night, he will send me to inform the mansion. Don't make too much arrangements and focus on simplicity."

All the armies have already returned to the camp, and the New Year is approaching, and the barbarians have been fixed, and the sergeants will have a long vacation.

Although Li Rujing left the guard camp, his status was different and he was still in charge of the outpost.

There will be several batches entering the city in batches later.

Until the general returns home.

The guard camp will return to the camp.

Seeing the other stewards along the way in the outer courtyard, everyone stepped forward to greet each other, and finally in the Langfang between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, they were told that Mrs. Zhou had rushed over.

Zhou's eyes were red, and he looked at the eldest son who had returned before him, feeling indescribably gratified in his heart.

"mother."

Li Rujing smiled.

"Where's my brother?"

"The military commander sent your younger brother to Zhenjiang on a business trip, and it is estimated that he will be back before the end of the year."

Hearing his mother's reply, Li Rujing nodded.

During the war last year, my younger brother was sent to be a grain supervisor, and made a lot of mistakes. Later, he was transferred to the military commander, so he could be regarded as displaying his talents.

Li Rujing is still very worried about her own younger brother.

"Don't talk about your younger brother. Your marriage can't be delayed any longer. I have already invited my wife to help you choose a good wife."

The wife that Mrs. Zhou talked about was, of course, Mrs. Qin.
