Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1107 Refining Heart
Snowflakes were flying outside the carriage, and Cao Yong was humbly asking for advice inside the carriage.

Master Song, whose name is Hou and whose name is Dingshan, came out of the mountain by application, and when he saw Cao Yong asked him, he did not hide his secrets: "The governor of the world, the one who guards the herds, has a lot of military merits. The governor of Sichuan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the northwest border, have defense The governors of Huguang and Yunnan and Guizhou want to suppress the Miao and Yi; the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governors of Liangjiang want to appease the deserted people and prevent water bandits and pirates from making troubles. To defend the capital, focus on stability."

Cao Yong listened and nodded, agreeing with Song Hou's words very much.

Governor of Zhili, to put it nicely, the governor of Zhili military administration, but Zhili has soldiers of the Eight Banners, these people are under the rule of the Eight Banners, and it is not Cao Yong's turn to intervene.

What Cao Yong can manage is the green business.

The local green battalion, to suppress bandits and prevent the natives from rebelling, has no shortage of opportunities for military training.

Zhili is at the foot of the emperor. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs for a hundred years, how many times has combed Zhili.In this era when more than 30 Han people gather, all of them can be killed for treason, it is really not easy to find a bandit in Zhili.

Perhaps because of this, the green camp in Zhili was the most corrupted.

"According to Mr., how should I operate soldiers?" Cao Yong asked doubts in his heart.

Logically speaking, his father-in-law Prince Chun, brother-in-law Prince Ping, and close friend Wanyan Yongqing have all been on the battlefield, so they can't tell everything about military affairs, but they can explain Cao Yong's doubts.

Cao Yong knew that it was not appropriate to bring them in, so he endured until now before asking.

"The emperor ordered your lord to move from the left to the governor's position at first, not for military training, but for the affairs of Beihe Road. The expectation is that your lord will enrich the local treasury. Then you added a military training, and the expectation is not as good as it is. After all, your lord has never set foot in it before. In the army, your majesty would not think that your lord will become a general or a commander." Song Hou said slowly, stroking his beard.

After hearing this, Cao Yong felt that the fog in his heart dissipated and gradually became clearer.

"Thank you sir for your advice!" Cao Yong leaned over to thank him sincerely.

For the past two days, his heart was in a mess, he felt complacent for a while, and felt uncertain for a while.

Just because he was in the middle of the game, he was blinded by a single leaf.

Now that he was pointed out by the bystanders, he calmed down after he was hesitant.

Seeing him showing his face, Song Hou and Feng Chuan looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at Cao Yong together.

The eyes of the two looked at Cao Yong, although there was no malice, but they both brought inquiry.

There is only such a small place in the carriage, and being stared at by two old men with white beards and hair, even though Cao Yong has always been calm, he couldn't sit still. Looking at the two of them, he said: "You two gentlemen, there is still a lesson to teach." Cao's words?"

Song Hou didn't speak, but Feng Chuan said with a smile: "It's this old thing who is thinking about the name of the Lord's 'Shancai Boy', and wonders whether the Lord has a way to enrich the people.Don't forget, my lord, this release is not only for the post of governor, but also for governor. "

Referring to this matter, Cao Yong also brought a bit of excitement.

Ever since he received the decree from the outside world, he has been planning this matter in his study every night.

To dredge the Beihe Channel, two key points are needed, money and civil service.

If the implementation of the "supply of the household" goes on, there will be no shortage of civil service, and some money will be paid in.

But he can't put all his hopes on the New Deal. Taking history as a mirror, the implementation of the New Deal has always been full of obstacles, and it is hard to find success overnight.

Cao Yong thought for a while, and said: "To pay taxes for Qiang Zhili, Cao has a few superficial plans, nothing more than enriching peasants, developing industries, and attracting businessmen..."

In the carriage, Cao Yong talked about the plan in his heart little by little; outside the carriage, the snow was getting heavier...

*
The capital, Cao's family, Dongfu, and Xikuayuan.

"Look at the heavy snow, your eldest uncle and the others may be delayed on the way." Cao Xiang touched the teacup and looked out through the glass window.

Sun Li followed his gaze, with a look of shame on his face: "My nephew comes out earlier, so I can see uncle off."

The three brothers Cao Song from Dongfu all left the city this morning to see off their cousin.

Afterwards, both Cao Song and Cao Fu went on duty, and Sun Li, who came a step late, ran into Cao Xiang who was at home.

Cao Xiang took a look at Sun Li and said, "You came with your grandfather to practice for your uncle the day before yesterday, so it doesn't matter if you don't catch up today."

Cao Xiang already knew about Cao Ying's refusal to ask for an errand for her husband.

For this reason, on Li's birthday the day before yesterday, Cao Ying was absent due to illness, and only Sun Li and his sister came with their grandfather.

Cao Xiang wanted to persuade his nephew not to complain to his uncle's family because of this matter, but he swallowed the words again because of the estrangement, and talked about the internal affairs of the Imperial Academy.

Sun Li passed the Shujishi examination and was about to enter the Imperial Academy on the fifth day of the fifth day.

Sun Li listened carefully, with a respectful expression, not seeming to be fake.

Seeing this, Cao Xiang couldn't help being shocked.

Would my nephew still be so respectful if he hadn't entered the Hanlin Academy from a fourth-rank official position?

Because he is a concubine, he is not close to his elder sister who is already married.

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Li thought he was tired, got up and said, "Is it nephew? Fourth uncle got up early to see him off, and he was tired even after thinking about it. Let's take a rest first, and nephew will go back soon."

Seeing his handsome face and clear eyes, Cao Xiang softened his heart and said, "Since you came here for a visit, there is no need to rush back. Your grandmother invited Ann, and you also went to ask for Ann at the West Mansion. Boss My wife has taken care of you mother and child a lot, as a junior, remember to be grateful."

After hearing this, Sun Li did not answer, but slowly lowered his head.

Cao Xiang was afraid that he wouldn't think about it, so he said: "Although I am a venerable, I shouldn't say anything about your mother in front of you, but you are growing up, and you should know right from wrong. Don't follow the muddle because your parents are muddled. Your eldest uncle There is no shortage of a nephew, but your future career cannot be separated from the care of your uncle."

Sun Li blushed, and said in a low voice: "My nephew is not disrespecting his elders, but he is ashamed and uneasy, so he hesitates..."

Cao Xiang laughed and said, "Who can blame you? It just so happens that lunch time is approaching, so I'll go with you. Your eldest uncle has just left, and the old lady may feel deserted, so let's join in the fun."

Tong Chunhua gave a few orders, and Cao Xiang and Sun Li's uncle and nephew braved the snow and left the West Mansion.

Seeing Sun Li, Li's expression was startled, showing worry, he called him to come closer, and said: "But what's wrong with your mother? Did you invite an imperial physician, or is there something wrong with the medicinal materials?"

She didn't know that Cao Ying's "illness" was just an excuse, she had prepared a pack of ginseng the day before yesterday and asked Sun Li to bring it back to Cao Ying.

Seeing him coming today, she thought Cao Ying was seriously ill, which made her worry.

Hearing this, Sun Li felt even more ashamed, forced a smile and said, "Mother is getting better, it's the grandson who came to see off his uncle because he was thinking of going out of Beijing, but it was a step too late."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and called Cao Xiang and Sun Li to come and sit down.

"There were too many people the day before yesterday, so it was hard to ask. I heard that your grandfather proposed marriage for you, but which girl do you want to meet? Are you sure?" Mrs. Li asked.

Sun Li was not as embarrassed as an ordinary boy when he heard about the marriage, and even replied calmly: "It's the granddaughter of Director Dong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I only heard it from my grandfather once, and I haven't seen each other yet."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li frowned slightly.

It's not that he thinks the Dong family is bad. Given the current situation of the Sun family, marrying the Dong family can be regarded as a high prospect.But if it's Dong Dianbang's granddaughter, it's Suxin's younger sister or cousin, and her seniority is wrong.

Although Bannermen have always married only on the basis of age, not seniority, the Sun family, like the Cao family, followed the etiquette of the Han family.

However, fearing that Sun Li would be uncomfortable, she loosened her brows in a flash and said, "Marrying a wife is a big deal, family status doesn't matter, it's best if a girl is virtuous. Your grandfather has carefully selected for a long time, so it must be good. "

When Cao Xiang heard about this for the first time, he also frowned.

What he was thinking about was not about seniority, but about Sun Li's future.

The Sun family and the Dong family are both aristocratic families of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and getting married can strengthen the relationship between the two families, but it does not help Sun Li's future much.

A 17-year-old concubine, his future is in the court, and he will definitely not be in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even if one is burdened by one's father and grandparents and cannot be married to a noble family, it is not difficult to find a noble family in the Hanlin Academy to marry...

After lunch at Li's place, Sun Li didn't stay long, so he left.

Ever since Cao Ying returned to the Cao Mansion and was rejected, her relationship with her mother-in-law, An Shi, became bad.

An Shi hated the Cao family's snobbery and refused to raise her youngest son. She hated her eldest daughter-in-law surnamed Cao even more. Every day, she would go around the eldest son's yard and scold her son and daughter-in-law twice. To be comfortable.

Since Sun Jue came back from outside the city, he has given up his drug addiction. Every day, except for his appetite, he drags his maidservant and concubine to fool around in the room.

Now being nagged by his mother every day, he also had a headache. At first, he listened honestly, but if he couldn't stand it, he hid early.

When Sun Li came home and went to his small yard, he realized something was wrong.

This yard was originally prepared for him to study, and there are only two little maids who are thirteen and fourteen serving.

In the past, when he came back, someone had already greeted him, but today there was no movement.

Sun Li picked up the curtain and felt his body stiffen.

There was a "woo-woo" sound in the room, and there was a gasp.

Sun Li's heart sank suddenly, his hands tightened, he pulled off the cotton curtain, and pushed the door open.

He didn't stop, and walked to the inner bedroom in three steps and two steps, and looked at the kang coldly.

Wen'er was full of panic and struggled vigorously. When he saw Sun Li at the door, he cried and wailed, "Master, help!"

Without the man turning his head, Sun Li recognized that he was not someone else, but his father.

When Sun Jue heard the movement, he looked back at his son, the embarrassment in his eyes flashed, and the rest was the shame of being ruined.

He lifted his trousers, snorted coldly, glanced at Wen'er, who was crying with his clothes closed, and without looking at Sun Li, pulled his shoes to the ground, and said, "I'm short of someone to wait by my side. This maid is good, just follow me." !"

Sun Li gave him a cold look, concealed the disgust in his heart, and replied, "I'm afraid I can't follow my father's wishes, Wen'er... is the son's roommate..."

After a while, Sun Jue had already tidied up his clothes, holding his father's score with a straight face.

Hearing his son's refusal, he was even more annoyed, and waited for Sun Li to say: "You bastard, have you grown your hair, and you are going to grab a woman with me? What a fool..."
