Chapter 489 Li Muhua's Small Abacus

"You need to recruit [-] soldiers and horses in the country of Wa for your restoration. It just so happens that the dog is also going to the country of Wa to recruit soldiers and horses, so he will go and handle it for you. ---When you are in Hue, you will Think about it for Ben Bo here, and plan a proper way out."

He not only drew a big, thick and shiny pie for Colonel Baizoa, who was in front of him for the restoration of Portugal, but also gave them a stick.If you can't give Lao Tzu a proper explanation, don't even think about taking away the soldiers, horses, money, food and weapons.

"His Royal Highness! I have a small proposal."

Baisoya was a little sick and went to the doctor in a hurry.

"Didn't your Highness always say that there is not enough transport capacity between your place and Europe, and the biggest shortcoming is the lack of sailors? This time, my officer, the commander-in-chief of the army, General Gonzales, specially recruited nearly [-] people for His Highness near the Mediterranean and Gibraltar. Two thousand sailors for your invincible navy, Admiral."

"Oh? Really?"

"My lord, it's true. The customs have detained all these 2000 people in the isolation area. Once they check that there are no patients, they can be resettled."

The officials next to him who knew about the incident reported it to Shou Han.

2000 sailors are allocated to each ship, and [-] skilled sailors can be freed up. These skilled sailors can even train and train minority sailors from Myanmar, Tianzhu, etc., and lead those The graduates of the Naval Academy are familiar with the business as soon as possible.

"If His Royal Highness's navy thinks these sailors are easy to use, we can assure you that at least five thousand sailors will be sent to your navy and sea fleet every year!"

Baisoa could be sent by Gonzalez to Hue as a diplomatic representative for help.Naturally, he is also a person who is full of news agencies. Although he didn't see Shou Han's demeanor, he could tell from his tone that His Highness the Earl was quite satisfied with this matter. The sea power of the Southern Cantonese Army provided sailors.

Hua Xuan was led to the living room by two housekeepers, and a very pretty girl brought a tea tray and offered him tea.

"Sir, please take a seat, Madam will come out soon."

In the courtyard where Li Muhua lived, what Li Huaxuan felt was graceful and luxurious, but he was not as comfortable and warm as Yan Meier.

He smiled and thanked the little girl who winked at him, but he never sat down.Watching the back of the slender waist leaving slowly.In his heart, he compared this little maid with the princesses of the earth kings he had taken in in Barisal City.

This room of Li Muhua's is her study and living room, and she receives people who are close to her on weekdays.It was also the first time for Li Huaxuan to come to this room, so he had to look around.

Spread out on the table is a Northern Song rubbings of "Lanting Preface", which was given to Li Muhua by the former Wang Dehua in the name of the empress when he came to Hue.Although this thing is not rare in the palace.However, Li Muhua has been practicing calligraphy hard in the past two years and collecting various postcards everywhere.And I like to collect different precious rubbings.This thing also just catered to her hobby.The stone inkstone on one end is purple red all over, but there is a "robin's eye" in the middle of the upper end, which is light yellow in color.Slightly green.Two dragons are engraved on the inkstone, and a pair of dragon heads face the "robin's eyes" together, just like opera beads.The back of the inkstone is engraved with the handwritten inscription of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the inscription is "the imperial title of the second year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty".

Next to the inkstone is a Ru kiln secret color brush washer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and a Yongle year-made red inlaid jade pen holder. The inlaid picture is Dongpo Moonlit Night Touring Red Cliff.On the table is a small piece of Suxin tribute paper made in Xuande five years ago, on which a branch of ink plum is painted, which has not yet been completed.

Li Huaxuan looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands behind his back.The calligraphy and paintings in Li Muhua's room are also changed frequently.Today there are only two paintings hanging in this room, both of which are fine works of famous artists received from Beijing: one is Wang Mian's "Returning to Herds", and the other is Tang Yin's "Xiangcun Water Village".The latter is a banner with a width of only half a foot and a length of more than six feet. The ink is thick and light, and the decoration is vivid; several willows are swaying along the river;On the painting is a five-character ancient poem inscribed by Tang Bohu himself.Xiangcun is the place where the great calligrapher, painter and poet Shen Shitian lived.After Shi Tian's death, Tang Yin went to hang him. In the boat, he saw the mountains and rivers still there, and his good friend passed away forever. With mixed feelings, he swiped his brush into a painting, and the emotion and scenery merged, and the traces of the pen and ink melted.

"Third Young Master, if you can get into the eyes of Dharma, please take it back and read it carefully."

Suddenly, Li Muhua's voice came from behind, which startled Li Huaxuan.

"Greetings to my aunt."

"That's it."

The last thing Li Muhua wants to hear are words related to status. She has always been very stubborn in her belief that, as a princess of a country, she brought the people of the land to marry Li Shouhan, but she can only be a concubine. Not convinced.

"Auntie, I was sent by my father-in-law to go to Japan on business. I would like to ask my auntie. Did you bring anything to my elder brother? The fleet is just going to stop in Taiwan for supplies, so I want to see my elder brother too. If my auntie has something to share with you If you want to bring the letter, please hand it to Huaxuan."

Li Muhua has always been arrogant and domineering, which made her children keep her at arm's length.When Li Huaxuan came today, he also came bravely.

In the past few years, Li Huabao has cultivated wasteland, farmed and immigrated to train soldiers and squeeze sugar in Taiwan. He has gradually turned the wild animals in the mountains into naturalized people one by one, and turned the camphor trees that have been silent for thousands of years in the mountains into camphor. The Southern Guangdong Army has added a new source of income.It is also quite rich to take care of the wild, dangerous and miasma-filled place in the eyes of others.

These women in the back house would compare their children consciously or unconsciously when chatting, and Li Huabao was undoubtedly the trump card in Li Muhua's hands.Firstly, he is the eldest son, and secondly, his contributions and feats are unmatched by his younger sons.

"You don't need to bring anything with your elder brother. Someone went to Taiwan a few days ago, and I brought him some. But when you see your elder brother, you should ask him for advice and do your best to fulfill the mission assigned by your father. Just do it well." Li Muhua's slow and elongated voice really annoyed Li Huaxuan.But I have to listen, and I have to put on a very serious and careful expression.

"However, if you go to Japan to recruit new soldiers, I have something for you to do."

"If you have anything to do, just order it down." Li Huaxuan said this with confidence and confidence.With the [-] troops to be recruited in hand, it is not impossible for Li Muhua to get the princess of the Tokugawa family to be a rough envoy.

At present, a large part of Japan's economy, commerce and finance is dependent on the trade with the Southern Guangdong Army and the remittances sent back by those who work and farm in Nanzhong.

And does it.If you offend Li Huaxuan.When recruiting new soldiers, he intentionally or unintentionally reduced the number of soldiers in a certain place. If those ronin left less, it would definitely have an impact on the rule of the local daimyo.In the minds of the big names.I wish that this group of wild library boys who wandered the streets and villages with knives all day were all recruited by the Southern Guangdong Army.Send it under the artillery fire and consume it!

These guys went out to serve as soldiers and fight.Not only the security situation in his territory has improved greatly, but also a large amount of overseas remittances have been sent back, which has improved the financial and economic situation in his territory.This kind of thing that kills multiple birds with one stone, is that daimyo unwilling?

If Li Huaxuan asked Takechiyo's classmate to name which princess he wanted to sleep in, I'm afraid Takechiyo would immediately wrap the princess's fragrant wash in a quilt and send it to his place of stay, and then present it as a gift filled with dragons. A few exquisite Burmese bells came to entertain the Third Highness.

Not to mention that such an approach is too humiliating, it is much better than the grand dukes of Moscow wrapping their wives and daughters in blankets and sending them to the sleeping tent of the Golden Horde Khan, and then having to be whipped at the door of the big tent. (Huh? This seems to be the Mongolian version of the husband's current crime? And there are whips, insults, and abuse, and there seems to be disharmony. Which classmate can extend the compilation of a script and sell it to adult film companies in Europe and America It’s over.) I just hope that Da Khan’s whip will be more severe, so that he can return to his own territory and continue to do his best.Therefore, compared with the Golden Horde Khan facing the Grand Duke of Moscow, the generals and daimyos of the Wa Kingdom at least retain their complete dignity and personality in terms of diplomatic etiquette.Those big names have already washed their princesses clean, wrapped them in silk quilts, waited in line and waited for the general to object to sending their daughters to bed!As long as the Third Highness can take care of his own territory when recruiting soldiers, these efforts will be worth the money.

Those Japanese volunteer soldiers who happened to appear in the market and returned to their hometown for various reasons felt that they had experienced the truth of not returning to their hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.In the eyes of the neighbors in the past, spending a lot of money, oh, wrong, it is a lot of money.In Japan, gold and silver are worthless, but grain and rice are valuable.Invite the neighbors in the neighborhood to eat, and you can eat the best white rice!

These wanderers in the past, now idols of young people, already have wives in their families, and some people rush to send their daughters to be concubines.In order to enjoy the superior living conditions of others.And the daughters of these volunteer soldiers' families have the same characteristics as Sister Feng's second aunt, and in the eyes of others, they are also better than the fairies on Gaotian Shenyuan.The people who came to propose marriage almost quarreled with each other and used force.

for a change in economic status.

The reason why Japanese volunteer soldiers are famous for their tenacity and ability to fight, hard work, cheap and good quality, and high cost performance. In addition to being able to get high military salaries during their service, they can plunder and massacre to obtain property and military merits when there are no military orders. There is a military discipline that is less noticed, but extremely cruel.

"If one person violates discipline and is sent back to his hometown, the number of local recruits will be reduced twice."

There used to be such a precedent. Japanese soldiers were sent back to their hometowns for violating military discipline. method of relief.

The whole family committed seppuku.

On the one hand, there is the glory and pleasure of listening to the greeting, and on the other hand, the pain and terror faced after being repatriated.Those soldiers from Kyushu, Honshu, Shikoku and other places, even if the casualties reached more than [-]%, they still fought tenaciously and never retreated.

If you die in battle, you will receive a pension, and if you retreat without authorization, what awaits you will be Abi's hellish situation.

It was precisely because of these characteristics that Li Huaxuan and Gonzalez agreed to go to Japan to recruit some cannon fodder to supply and consume.

The difference is that what Li Huaxuan recruited was not only cannon fodder, but also supervisors who helped him enslave and squeeze the newly conquered ethnic groups in South Asia.To build a road from Bangladesh to Shigatse.Roads in Bangladesh can only be built by locally recruited labor.

However, with the characteristics of the lazy natives, even if Li Huaxuan's grandson came to this road, the construction of the roadbed might not be completed.Therefore, the bamboo knives and leather whips of these devils came in handy.

Different from Li Huaxuan's purpose, the purpose of the restoration led by Gonzales is much simpler.They just want to make this group of guys who are jealous when they go to the battlefield and don't turn their enemies and themselves into corpses to fight for themselves in Europe, open one fortress after another, and use their bones to pave their way to the nobility.

Ottoman Turks.Spanish.The French, the Dutch, and various countries of the Habsburg family are their potential enemies.

However, Li Muhua asked Li Huaxuan to help her with something in the Wa country, but he didn't know what to do.

Could it be that the third lady plans to recruit some famous princesses from the Japanese kingdom to be maids in the inner house?Impossible! ?With her character.Almost like a lioness.Turn the guard into her territory.Patrol back and forth every day to prevent other female animals from entering.

The concubine Ming sent by the two Uzang the day before yesterday heard that she had found something wrong in her house.Beating a woman with forty bamboo sticks almost killed her.

"Bring me that jewelry box that's on my dresser."

A woman was ordered to fetch a gold-painted casket.

There are dozens of pieces of hairpin and ring head jewelry, and there is also a rice ticket of [-] shi of polished round-grained rice.

"I heard people who traveled to and from the Wa Kingdom said that the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was actually a girl. It is quite difficult for a mere weak woman to be the head of this country, not to mention that she has contributed a lot to our Li family and is quite attentive. Whether it is Both business dealings and recruitment of labor and soldiers are extremely hard-working. Although everything is done according to the rules, we have never treated her badly. But as an elder, I always have to have some kindness. You are here in the capital of Japan , I’m going to pay her a visit, and give her my heart. Tell her, if you need anything, whether it’s money or other things, just say it. Don’t wrong yourself.”

After listening to Li Muhua's words of turning around and turning around in clouds and mountains, Li Huaxuan immediately heard something strange in his words.On the surface, as Uncle Ning Yuan's third wife, she expressed her concern for the leader of the next vassal, but there must be some reason for this concern, right?There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.Why have I never seen her care about the living conditions of the members of the Siamese royal family?Didn't see her ask about the hometown of those Tianzhu orchids?Have you never asked Qi Yiniang about the situation in Aolei Yilan's home?

Today, for no reason, I want to express my concern for the distant vassals and my tolerance?

Li Huaxuan has been working outside the mansion for more than a year, and after he has owned the world for a while, he knows more and more clearly about the affairs of the mansion than before.

Concerning the open and secret struggles among Shou Han's several wives, and the question of who is the heir apparent that is gradually being brought up intentionally or unintentionally, he has his cronies briefing him.

Among them, there are also some gossips that are not visible in private.

For example, the matter of the Emperor of Japan mentioned by Li Muhua right now.

In private, someone quietly told Li Huaxuan that when the young marshal led the troops to Japan to sign a treaty of commerce and navigation and helped the Tokugawa family put down the rebellion in Kyushu, the ministers under the emperor cleaned up the then Emperor Xingzi and stuffed them into the palace. Under the bed of the young marshal.This is not a big deal. Although this generation of barbarians claims to have been influenced by my Chinese civilization for a long time, they are still shameless and shameless barbarians in their hearts.But the terrible thing is that Yang Youji and Li Guang, the young commander in chief, hit the target with one shot.

"The son of Emperor Meisho right now is actually the seed that our young marshal sowed in her fertile field back then!"

Thinking about connecting these information, the cause and effect with Li Muhua's words today, Li Huaxuan can probably guess the success.

What is quite creditable, quite hard-working?If Emperor Mingzheng hadn't given birth to a son for his elder brother, Li Muhua would never have said such a thing.As for what to say is quite difficult and extremely attentive, it is even more of an excuse.

If the child born to Emperor Mingzheng was not a grandson, he would be the first male in the Li family's generation (it can be said, let's not say that these young masters sowed the seeds on the maids and slaves for the time being.) And With the background of the Emperor of Japan and General Tokugawa, it will also be a bargaining chip when everyone discusses the candidates for high positions in the future. Without these factors, would Li Muhua be so careful?Is it jewelry or food?

Li Huaxuan also once heard the maid in his mother's room discuss that for more than a year, Li Muhua had been sending people back and forth between Hue, Guangzhou and the country of Wa, and he didn't know what they were doing.

Looking at it now, most of them sent money, food, cloth and other things to the mother and son, so that they could live comfortably in the Japanese country, and wait for the right opportunity to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

After figuring out all the key points, Li Huaxuan immediately smiled, and motioned to Qin Bingwei to take the jewelry box, "Auntie, please relax. I'm going to Japan this time, and I can leave everything else to you." People will do it, but I must see the Emperor and General! Thank them for their contributions to my Ningyuan Mansion over the years!" (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
