My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 195 Giving Li Qingzhao the Title

Hu Yanzhuo went to the Fuhu Army and witnessed the rigor and strength of the Fuhu Army's military appearance with his own eyes, and his heart was even more shocked.

Especially the [-] crouching tiger cavalry armed to the teeth.

Even the elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty Imperial Army did not have the configuration of four horses.

But Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect that Fuhu Cavalry, who had just joined the army, had tens of thousands of good horses.

One hundred thousand troops, ten thousand subduing tiger cavalry, such a powerful army is enough to match the Western Army.

The power to perform military horses is still firmly in Yue Fei's hands. Qingzhou's government affairs are handled mainly by Huarong, supplemented by the consolidation of general judgments. Wang Lin is still a hands-off shopkeeper.

What he lacks most now is time.

It takes time for a new army to take shape and form combat effectiveness.

And to support such a huge army, he needs a lot of money, materials and food as support, which also takes time.

The money that Murong Yanda left behind was spent on less than half of the [-] Fuhu cavalry.

The population of the six states under his jurisdiction is less than 200 million. Although the territory is large, the income and taxes are limited.

Completely counting on the imperial court's supply is simply a dream, and the current Song Dynasty court simply can't spend too much money to support the Fuhu army.

The Western Army alone has already made it difficult for Song Dynasty.

Therefore, for Wang Lin, Murong Wan'er, who operates trade overseas, is very important.

Although Meng Yulou is also a good hand in business, he is not on the same level as Murong Wan'er in terms of the overall situation or means.

After careful consideration, Wang Lin had already conceived the idea of ​​cooperating with the Murong family to build a Bohai firm.

The business is handed over to Murong Wan'er, who concentrates on making money.

He needs a lot of money, piles of grain and grass, and more advanced military equipment, all of which cost money.

Without money, war preparation is empty talk.

The gold and silver deposits in Laizhou and Qingzhou are rich in reserves. Unfortunately, these are all under the control of the Song court, and it is difficult for Wang Lin to get a share of it, unless he rebels against the Song court now.

Therefore, Wang Lin hid in the mansion for the past two days, thinking of ways to make money.

To be honest, compared with many traversers who are keen to develop glass cement, improve firearms and artillery, and even promote the early arrival of the era of steam industry, Wang Lin seems more pragmatic.

After all, he is not a technical engineering man.

Not to mention that he knew nothing about the technical principles of the above-mentioned epoch-making machine products, even if he was given a ready-made blueprint, he would not be able to build a steam engine or an aircraft cannon.

The main reason is that there is no time to farm and develop slowly.

The Jin people are about to invade in an all-round way. Once the war starts, what if he can build one or two cannons?It can't change the overall situation at all.

Because of this, he spent more time in Meng Yu's building.

He occasionally gets a little pragmatically close to new business ideas for the age, and he needs someone to discuss them.

Meng Yulou was born in a family of merchants, and since he was a child, he has seen a lot of business transactions, and some details can still give Wang Lin some new ideas.

In fact, from Meng Yulou's point of view, the family is already very rich.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Bohai Company, which was reorganized from the Wang Family Company, was making a lot of money every day.

In her heart, she felt that the wealth accumulated by the Wang family was enough for generations of descendants to eat and drink without worrying about it.

How did she know that what Wang Lin needs to support is a huge army, and the court is unreliable, so she needs to pay for it herself.

She's just a little woman living a very real life.

She doesn't have any ambitions, and she doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As long as she can help the family earn some money and have children for her husband, she will be satisfied.

But Wang Lin stayed in her room for so long, although she was happy, her heart gradually became uneasy.

After all, there are so many sisters in the family, so it will inevitably cause other people's dissatisfaction.

Of course, at least so far, Wang Lin's back house is still harmonious.

The few women present are extremely intelligent masters, who know what to do and what not to do, and hold a proper measure.

In fact, compared with the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty, Wang Lin's back house is nothing at all.

And there are so many beauties in the mansion, such as Pang Chunmei and Li Ping'er next to Pan Jinlian, and Yi Cui Siqin next to Han Yan, all of them are still virgins, and among the maids in the mansion who was taken over by Wang Lin, so far is only Yan Xijiao.

……

After living in the mansion for a few days, Li Qingzhao offered to leave Qingzhou and go to her hometown - Jinan Mansion.

Han Yan's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay were useless, and Li Qingzhao's attitude was also very firm.

Han Yan knew that it was not that Li Qingzhao didn't want to stay in the Wang family, but that he had a heart-to-heart and was worried about telling the truth.

In the past, many people said that she had an affair with Wang Lin, but now that she and Zhao Mingcheng have reconciled, if she stays in the Wang family for a long time without name and relationship, she will definitely be discussed behind her back.

Han Yan also found out that Li Qingzhao's hometown of Jinan no longer had any relatives to rely on. She went to Jinan alone, how would she make a living?
Sooner or later it is a dead end.

Han Yan couldn't bear to let her go.

So Han Yan asked Wang Lin to persuade him.

After hearing Han Yan's words, Wang Lin was a little surprised: "Is Master Yi An in our residence?"

Han Yan raised her brows together: "Husband, don't you know? Zhao Mingcheng colluded with his concubine to drive sister Qingzhao out of the house two days ago, and wrote a letter of reconciliation. I saw that she was homeless, so I brought her to the mansion for a while." live."

"Zhao Mingcheng is so hateful?" Wang Lin said angrily, "I need to clean up! What kind of county magistrate, let him come to the house to light the fire!"

"Husband, let's not talk about Zhao Mingcheng. Sister Qingzhao can't stay in the mansion. She wants to go to Jinan mansion alone, but she has no relatives to turn to. How can a weak woman live if she goes to her?"

"Then stay at our house, or buy her a house from the city to live in another place."

Han Yan took Wang Lin's hand: "The reason why Sister Qingzhao wants to leave is mainly because she is afraid of gossip behind people's backs. As for buying a house to live in another place, it is even more inappropriate. Wouldn't people say that she is a foreign house bought by you?" ?”

Wang Lin smiled wryly: "It's neither right nor left, but it's difficult to do."

Han Yan slowly leaned her body into Wang Lin's arms, and said softly: "Husband, sister Qingzhao is a generation of talented women who have never been seen before, and her situation is really pitiful. I think it's better to let her stay in the house so that she can teach her in the future." Our children can read and write, recite poems and compose Fu."

"I have no objection."

Han Yan coughed twice: "Husband, are you pretending to be stupid with my concubine?"

……

The maid Lan'er stood in the room and looked at the lonely Li Qingzhao, hesitating to speak.

She wanted to persuade Li Qingzhao not to leave Qingzhou, not to refuse the palace's care, but she couldn't open her mouth.

After all, Li Qingzhao had just reconciled with Zhao Mingcheng, if she was asked to remarry Wang Lin as a concubine, she would be so proud, how could she agree.

There was a light knock on the door, and Lan Er pushed open the door to see Wang Lin, overjoyed.

Immediately knelt down on the ground: "Lan'er has seen the envoy. My lady, the envoy is here!"

Li Qingzhao's jade face is thin.

In the past two days, because of the sad mood, I was even more heartbroken.

She got up and said to Wang Lin with a blessing, "Qingzhao has met the envoy."

"I met Mr. Yi An."

Wang Lin smiled and glanced at Lan'er: "Miss Lan'er, I have a few words that I want to talk to Mr. Yi An alone, is that okay?"

"Yes! Yes!" Lan'er hurriedly exited the door, closing the door tightly for the two of them.

Given her current situation, alone and widowed in a room, even with Li Qingzhao's unrestrained style, it was unavoidable to be a little embarrassed.

She settled down, looked at Wang Lin with gentle eyes, and said quietly: "If you have something to say, please tell me."

"I heard from my wife that my husband wants to go to Jinan Mansion alone. I don't think it's right. Your Li family has no relatives to vote for in your original place. You are a girl, how will you live in Jinan?"

Li Qingzhao was sad, and then smiled lightly: "Qingzhao has hands and feet, so he won't starve to death, right?"

"Since Mr. can support himself, isn't it the same to stay in Qingzhou?"

"Qingzhou is sad, Qingzhao really doesn't want to stay for long."

"Besides, Qingzhao is now an abandoned wife. If she stays in the Shijun's residence for a long time, it will actually hurt Shijun Qing's reputation. It is really not Qingzhao's original wish."

"Why should you care about some gossip?"

Wang Lin smiled: "If you are really afraid of people's words, how about I give you a title?"

Li Qingzhao's face flushed instantly.

It took her a long time to say: "Shijun is like this...what can Qingzhao say? Shijun's house has a lot of family members, Qingzhao... has a vulgar appearance, it is really unbearable to be loved by Shijun, please forgive Qingzhao for not obeying orders!"

"If you make Jun feel that Qingzhao is now homeless and has just been abandoned, and has a contemptuous intention, or wants to use his power to force himself into the door, Qingzhao would definitely rather die than follow."

Lan'er was eavesdropping outside the door. Hearing Li Qingzhao's answer, she rubbed her hands anxiously. She thought to herself: "My lady, my lady, since the envoy is interested in you, why do you push back and forth like this? What's wrong with the envoy?" OK? !
Wang Lin smiled wryly, knowing that Li Qingzhao would be wrong.

Then he quickly explained: "Although I admire my husband very much, I'm not so rude. At this time, I would add trouble to a well and do such a shameless act."

"I agree, I still lack a female official who can teach etiquette and handle historical classics in the government of Bohai County. If you don't object, from today onwards, you can open the mansion for me. How about a doctor from the ninth grade Shangyi? He is also in charge of Qingzhou government and school affairs, and in the future, my children will also be taught to be disciplined by Mr. "

Li Qingzhao was stunned at first, and then a little happy.

It would be great to be a female official in charge of cultural education.

She can not only stay in the Bohai County Duke's mansion justifiably, but also give full play to what she has learned, why not do it?
She immediately realized that she had misunderstood what she had said before, and remembered what Wang Lin said, "Although I admire Mr. very much", her cheeks were glowing, as red as two ripe apples.

He lowered his head slightly.

Seeing that although she didn't answer, Wang Lin didn't object, so he knew she was a little embarrassed, so he chuckled, turned around and left.

Wang Lin's arrangement made Han Yan very surprised and very happy.

As a die-hard fan of Li Qingzhao, in order to solve the problem of Li Qingzhao's status, Han Yan actually did not reject Wang Lin accepting Li Qingzhao as a concubine.

It is obviously more appropriate to act as a female officer.

Li Qingzhao's reputation was preserved, and it would not be possible for those speech officials in the court to frame Wang Lin for his lack of self-cultivation. No one could find a reason.
