As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Of course, Hua Manlou could understand his restlessness. After all, he was well protected. In the past, even when he traveled, he was always in the middle of a large group of people. It was impossible for him to be as free as after hiding his identity.But the problem is that Mr. Hua Qian is the one who bears the responsibility. In case of any accident, Mr. Hua Qian will never think about salted fish in this life—of course, he will never be in this life.

In addition, when I originally took Miss Baimao to go out, I hoped that she could treat the returning young soldiers as soon as possible for the injuries they might have suffered on the grassland, and also hoped that they could cultivate their relationship in a different environment, but Zhao Ren tossed Can Hua Manlou not follow?

The tossing along the way made Hua Manlou deeply feel that he is an idiot.

Fortunately, an hour after leaving the West Mountain, the imperial envoy's flag was seen in the distance, and Zhao Ren's troubles finally came to an end.

After nearly half a year, Uncle Huai'an was actually very happy and excited when he saw Huamanlou, but the next moment he remembered his strict father's character design, so he put on a straight face and reprimanded Huamanlou with a few words such as "Huajia tradition The low key you forgot?Xishan is His Majesty's Xishan, not your Xishan full of flowers, why is it so laborious? ' and so on, Uncle Huai'an was still thinking about it when he got close, but he was already stupid before he opened his mouth: "Too..."

Seeing his gaze, Hua Manlou immediately cut his eyes and said, "Father, this is the son of Uncle Zhao's family. Uncle Zhao asked him to stay and study in Xishan recently, so he came to pick you up today."

Zhao Ren bowed immediately and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Hua, my nephew is very polite."

Uncle Huai'an opened his mouth wide, and coughed dryly after a long time: "Cough, oh, good...well, good, good, you take good care of her."

He said so, but Uncle Huai'an was terrified in his heart: I haven't seen you for a while, what happened to make His Majesty let the prince live in Xishan?

The question was not over yet, Uncle Huai'an turned his head and saw Wen Liang again, Hua Manlou hurriedly introduced: "This is Ye Gucheng, a student of Elder Wen Ge, who has been helping me with my affairs in Xishan recently."

It's okay without this introduction, but after hearing this introduction, Uncle Huai'an felt even weirder: Gaozu?girl!Why did Old Wen put his daughter here?

It's not surprising that Huai Anbo knows this, because he knows that Wen Ge doesn't accept apprentices at all, and the one who claims to be his disciple is his daughter—the source of the news is Ying Guogong, when he took Lao Wen to drink, the old man Wen said it himself when he was too drunk...

Wen Liang didn't know that his identity was exposed, so he stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

If Uncle Huai'an was only puzzled when he saw Wen Liang, then when he saw Qi Wanrong, Uncle Huai'an suddenly realized: Old man Qi, don't think I don't know what bad idea you have!Bullying my son is honest, right?

In fact, Uncle Huai'an has no objection to Qi Wanrong, but he is only annoyed that before Fanhuamanlou entered Xuanwuwei, when he was a matchmaker for Huamanlou, Ying Guogong remained calm at that time, but now After Huamanlou took the lead, this old guy suddenly appeared, and even settled his daughter in Xishan, it was too much!

While thinking about it, Hua Manlou pointed at Miss Baimao nervously and embarrassedly and said, "Father, this is... well, Wan Cheng Yanran, she saved me last time..."

Seeing Hua Manlou's expression, Uncle Huai'an realized in an instant—they are all from childhood, how could he not see through Hua Manlou's little thoughts?And this woman looks so shocking...

Wait, what does it mean to be saved?

How much has happened in the past few months?

272. Huai Anbo's Calculation

Although Uncle Huai'an had a lot of questions to ask, but it was really not the time to speak in front of so many people, and he almost got internally injured.

But what is certain is that Huamanlou must have done many shocking things during the nearly half a year of his mission, otherwise, how could there be so many sons and daughters of heavyweights gathered in Xishan?

Although I understand that my son is very different from before, the sense of disobedience of this change is still quite strong—the casino...is it so magical?Can you realize this?

Uncle Huai'an felt itchy for a while, and finally waited until the short welcoming ceremony was over before he took Hua Manlou directly into the carriage, intending to question them one by one.

But after getting into the car, he didn't know where to ask. After thinking about it, he asked, "Why is the prince in Xishan?"

"His Majesty ordered him to come, saying that he was to undergo labor reform in Xishan..."

"The Wen family too?"

"The one from the Wen family? You mean the disciple of Elder Wen Ge? He came to help me, because I...well, I'm busy building a water division..."

"Water... Sailor?"

"Yes, Tianjin Navy..."

The more Uncle Huai'an asked, the more confused he became, and finally he simply said: "Just tell me what you did after I left, in more detail!"

"This... there are actually a lot of things..."

"It's okay, the road is still long anyway."

Hua Manlou had no choice but to tell all the important things after the day he sent his father off in the mountains, and during this period, Uncle Huai'an never closed his mouth.

Even though he knew that his son was going to be promising before going on a mission, he never expected to be so promising.Take a look at what he has done, just picking out one of them is enough to comfort the father who is looking forward to his son Jackie Chan, and all this was done in less than half a year, this...

Originally, Uncle Huai'an, who wanted to pretend to be a strict father, couldn't complete his speech. The whole process was: "Ah... oh... good, you did a good job..."

With such a promising son, even if he wanted to find fault, he could only start with the Hua family's ancestral precepts, but thinking of Huamanlou's cheating appearance, how could Uncle Huai'an be willing to discourage Huamanlou's enthusiasm at this time?

And Hua Manlou himself admitted: "Father, although these things are relatively high-profile, I can't help most of them, and His Majesty's will... I can't resist it, right? Speaking of which, your old man He didn't tell me that Uncle Zhao is His Majesty, but the sudden meeting that day scared me into a cold sweat..."

"If you don't dare to disobey the decree, your father dares to disobey the decree?" Uncle Huai'an blew his beard and stared for a while, and then asked a question he was most concerned about: "Then Wan Cheng Yanran saved you, dad sees what you mean, Want to marry her?"

Hua Manlou scratched his head in embarrassment: "This... depends on what Dad means, doesn't it?"

Although teasing Wancheng Yanran failed everywhere, Hua Manlou still did not change her original intention - she had already thought of her son's name, didn't she?

Uncle Huai'an sneered and said, "What if I don't allow it?"

"Father, thank you for saving my life. Without her, I might still be in the hands of the White Lotus Sect..." After speaking halfway, seeing Uncle Huai's playful eyes filled the floor, I couldn't help but go crazy: "I said you were funny ?"

Uncle Huai'an said: "Now that you are promising, if you want to marry her, can father stop you? It's just that this girl is from the White Lotus Sect after all, even if His Majesty pardons her, she is still somewhat taboo."

Hua Manlou said indifferently: "Father, she is just a doctor in Xishan now, and I also guarantor for her with His Majesty, so it is better to marry than to leave it alone, right?"

"You bastard, you..." Uncle Huai'an was so angry that he was a little speechless: Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, is this someone who can be reckless?

But now it is already like this, and according to Huai Anbo's understanding of Emperor Guangxing, he probably doesn't care much about this matter, otherwise, how could he throw the prince to this Western Mountain?

After figuring this out, he sighed: "If it weren't for your majesty's kindness, I'm afraid your head will be lost now! Although you are getting better now, you have to think twice about some things. In the future... wait a minute, you Said she was a doctor?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "That's right, she's a miraculous doctor who can rejuvenate her body. Recently, she was treating people in Xishan, and she even brought a group of female disciples out..."

Uncle Huai'an remained silent for a while before he said, "Forget it, you can arrange it yourself."

Hua Manlou was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time before he realized: his mother died of illness, and the lack of such a female doctor was basically what was lacking, so the minor illness turned into a serious illness...

Co-authoring his own father feels deeply about this, so he doesn't say a word?

It's so wrong...

After being silent for a while, Uncle Huai'an suddenly asked a rather inexplicable question: "Then what are you planning, little girl of the Qi family?"

Hua Manlou was at a loss: "Huh? Qi Wanrong? She...doesn't need me to make plans for her?"

Uncle Huai'an saw that Hua Manlou's expression didn't seem to be fake, so he said appropriately: "The Hua family has been passed down for several generations, so it's good to have more children when you come here. Since you want to marry that woman...well, this matter Let dad go."

Hua Manlou was even more confused. What do these half-sentences mean?

As everyone knows, when Uncle Huai An saw Qi Wanrong, he guessed Ying Guogong's "wolf ambition", and immediately rushed to his head: while I'm not plotting against my son, right?Okay, since you have sent your daughter here, then don't even think about asking for it back. I won't be called Hua Boyuan if you don't let Duke Ying spit out half of the Duke's dowry!

After finishing his anger secretly, he turned his head and saw the "Ye Gucheng" from the window again. Uncle Huai'an didn't ask Huamanlou this time, but secretly calculated: Although I don't know why old Wen sent his daughter to my son. I don't like it, but it is said that his daughter has the style of being a father, and she is a good seedling who is a good wife and helper. Even if she stays with my son, she can remind him to avoid detours and make less mistakes.

Since you also sent her here, wouldn't it be a loss for me not to keep her in Hua's house?

It's just that my silly boy hasn't seen his identity yet...

Forget it, don't worry, I'll meet Lao Wen when I finish my work recently!

Thinking of this, Uncle Huai'an couldn't help but feel very relieved - last year he was still worrying about the marriage of his bastard son, and even the dilapidated honorable families refused to marry him, but this year there are at least three sons all at once. Daughter-in-law, do you think he can be happy?

And Huamanlou didn't know that his father had already started planning to marry him several wives all at once, even including his 'Brother Ye', this...

Evil feudal society ah!

Uncle Huai'an spent a long time thinking about the happy life of his grandchildren in the future, and then he put his family aside and asked about state affairs: "What are your plans for the Navy?"

"Ah?" Hua Manlou was stunned: "I don't have any plans, just...to pull His Majesty to do ocean trade?"

"..."

In an instant, Huai Anbo's blood pressure rose again.

273. Rebel!Die!

Since the administration, Bo Huai’an has actually not left the capital many times, and there are actually only so many military attache positions in the capital. Therefore, from the Wucheng Bingma Division to the Jingwei Command Division, Huai’an Bo’s work is mostly related to public security. thing.

So he used to think that he had seen a lot of bold and reckless people, after all, those vicious and vicious people could do anything in a hurry.

But it was the first time he saw Huamanlou.

What do you think about pulling the emperor to engage in shipping?

Heads are very valuable, one for each person!

If it had happened before, Uncle Huai'an might have started immediately, and he would never give up unless Huamanlou's crazy plan was suppressed, but now...

His son is about to get married, and there are all his subordinates in the outside room. It is not appropriate to smoke at this time, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then growled in a low voice: "You are the key! Damn me?"

Hua Manlou hurriedly said, "Father, calm down first, there is a reason for this..."

Uncle Huai'an glared at him and said viciously: "Okay, tell me, if you can't explain why, this time you can lie on the couch for half a year!"

Hua Manlou coughed dryly twice: "Actually, I also know that doing this is a bit dangerous, but am I right? Your Majesty wants to reform the military system, and also to suppress Japanese pirates. Regardless of the former, the latter must have a naval force." Yes, but sailors have to spend money, don’t they? I heard the jingle of Chaozhongpoor, so I just had to make wool out of sheep..."

Uncle Huai'an said angrily: "Then do you know who is doing the shipping? If you get involved with this, I'm afraid even His Majesty can't keep you!"

Hua Manlou said dryly: "I know, so didn't I recruit a group of people to do this? In addition to the three princes, Elder Wen Ge and Xu Dacheng were also involved in this matter, and Xu Dacheng also pulled down a few Marquis under my instruction..."

Uncle Huai'an's expression suddenly became extremely strange: "Are they... all involved?"

"Yes, I paid out a lot of money, and Xu Dacheng also gave out more than one million taels..." Hua Manlou honestly took out a small book and showed it to Uncle Huai'an: "Here, I wrote it down here. Those who signed the contract, and there are also those who did not sign the contract but sent the money."

Uncle Huai'an took a look: Well, all the distinguished nobles in the capital are here, and there are also some eunuchs in the inner court, and there is an old Wen among them...

"Your Majesty owns the bulk of the money, and everyone else takes the shares. Then I thought, if so many people take advantage of it, then in the future, someone will say this, and everyone will be scolded," Hua Manlou said firmly. Said: "How can there be a thief who only eats meat and doesn't get beaten?"

Uncle Huai’an’s lips twitched at this stupid metaphor, but the truth is absolutely correct, and such a large force was twisted into a rope, and there were actually all kinds of people in it...

Uncle Huai'an didn't know whether to call Huamanlou bold or reckless, or his organizational skills. In short, if there are so many people on the same boat, he guessed that even if the "dongchuang incident" happened, Huamanlou would be fine...

"No!" Uncle Huai'an suddenly realized a problem: "It's okay for Xu Dacheng to be in cahoots with you. He loves money, but what does Old Wen mean? How could he cooperate with you?"

Hua Manlou shrugged: "Maybe... also want to earn some extra money? He was trying to make Tianjin prosperous a while ago..."

"Prosperous Tianjin?" Uncle Huai'an thought carefully for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "This old fox, he wants to break the sea ban!"

Hua Manlou said dully, "Open... open the sea?"

Uncle Huai'an glared at him: "You bastard, you dare to cooperate with this old guy if you don't know anything?"

Huamanlou Qiqi Ai Ai said: "But... But Brother Ye said, everything is based on me, and Mr. Wen Ge is from the side to help... No, this thing is just selling something secretly, how did it become Kaihai? "

Uncle Huai'an said angrily, "You dragged so many people into the water. After the matter is done, it doesn't matter whether the two sides shout "stop the thief" or criticize each other, but in fact, everyone is doing shipping business. Isn't the ancestral system just a dead letter? That's the idea, at that time, he only needs to push lightly, and the sea ban will be opened even if it doesn't!"

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded: "Is...is that so?"

Uncle Huai'an cursed and said: "Otherwise, this old thing has nothing to do to prosper Tianjin? Tianjin Wei is just an ordinary small earthen city except for smooth waterways, but if it is used for sea transportation, Bohai Bay is a good seaport." , and the goods from south to north can be transported by water... The most important thing is that this place is too close to the capital. After a large number of overseas goods enter the capital from Tianjin, just imagine, no matter how low-key you are, these Where did the stuff come from? Also, after these veterans have tasted the sweetness, do you think they will ask you to expand the trade fleet? When the time comes... Humph!"

Huamanlou has never played politics in the past two lives, even if he can figure out a lot of things, his sense of smell is still somewhat lacking, unlike Uncle Huai'an who has been in officialdom for half his life, he can grasp it with a little thought. Stay focused.

But Hua Manlou is not stupid after all, and he recalled his father's point: "Also... that is to say, the purpose of Wenge's expansion of the city is to make the sea transportation smoother, and then facilitate the opening of the sea?"

"Not stupid!"

Hua Manlou recalled the conversation with Wen Liang that day, and then suddenly realized: "No! He thought I was going to open the sea ban, so he pushed me!"

Immediately, Huamanlou recounted the conversation that day with Uncle Huai'an, and then said angrily: "I just want to help His Majesty earn some money and support the sailors, and the important thing is that the Japanese pirates are not banned by the sea, who said Am I going to open the sea ban?"

Uncle Huai'an looked at Huamanlou speechlessly, he didn't know what to say if it was true, but in the end he vented his grievances on Elder Wen Ge: Okay, you old bastard is really good at bullying my stupid son, right?Let's round up and settle accounts after autumn!

He was ruthless on one side, but on Huamanlou's side was a look of sadness: "Father, you said that I would return the money to them... that's impossible?"

Uncle Huai'an couldn't bear to criticize him: "What do you think? Fortunately, you are pulling so many people to cooperate this time, and if something happens to you in the future, this group of veterans will also have to do their best to keep you safe. And as long as If you do things according to His Majesty's will, His Majesty will also protect you... In short, the most urgent thing is to get this matter done properly, understand?"

Hua Manlou nodded, with a look of frustration: The court is a deep pit!I am such a pure and good boy, how could this group of people have the nerve to plot against me?

Then he remembered another thing, hesitated for a while before opening his mouth: "Father, I haven't told His Majesty about the shipping..."

Uncle Huai'an's breath was stagnant when he heard the words, and he couldn't hold back after holding back: "...Nizi! Suffer!"

274. Now it’s time to reward meritorious deeds, right?

Uncle Huai'an returned to Beijing, leaving Hua Manlou alone in Xishan, covering his head and sighing: How did things become like this?There are no good people in the court!

At first, Hua Manlou thought that his cheap mouth caused the disaster, but now it seems that no matter whether he is cheap or not, there is a group of people who insist on cheating himself and making a fool of himself—see what Mr. Wen Ge is doing. ?You are very bad old man!

He obviously didn't even ask himself about his plans, so what is he doing blindly by himself?Where does such a strong reading comprehension come from?

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou couldn't help complaining: "Okay, if you are the first grader, don't blame me for being the fifteenth grader. I can't help you, old man, but your disciple is in my Western Hills. Pull him to dance together." Now I don't have any psychological burden on the pit I had to jump into!

But having said that, my dear father is my dear father after all, even though he was very angry, but in the end he pointed out a clear way for himself: do things first, and talk to Emperor Guangxing after the harvest by sea is in hand.
