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

"Pretend, keep pretending!" Emperor Guangxing directly interrupted Hua Manlou's words, and said with disgust on his face, "This method doesn't seem to come up on a whim, I'm afraid you have already planned everything out. Right? If I hadn’t come here today, I’m afraid you still want to hide it, maybe when you will tell me! I have never seen a candle like yours in more than ten years in Bingguo. right?"

Hua Manlou had a dejected look on his face: "This humble minister is really..."

"Make it up, keep making it up, and after it's done, I'll punish you for deceiving the emperor!" Emperor Guangxing interrupted him again: "You bastard, every time I ask you to say something, I have to lie to you, what's the matter? , I am not worthy of your assistance?"

Hua Manlou hurriedly said: "No, no, what is this Weichen...just..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Guangxing sighed and said: "I know you are cautious, and I know you are in awe, but do you look at me like a mean and ungrateful emperor?"

These words are a bit heart-to-heart, and it is not the first time that Emperor Guangxing has said this.

Thanks to Emperor Guangxing's conviction that Hua Manlou was afraid of being beaten since he was a child, and now he values ​​him very much, otherwise, wouldn't he have to toss him a little bit to keep him calm?

And Huamanlou was speechless when he heard him say that - it would be fine if he was scolded or something, or he would not be ashamed to come to Huamanlou in the way of a monarch and his ministers, but Emperor Guangxing treated him very well. Needless to say, it's all about exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and he was always considered in the arrangement of some things, which just hit Huamanlou's weakness.

So let's just say, what kind of emperor has what kind of courtiers, how can a benevolent emperor not value a benevolent Huamanlou?

After sighing, Emperor Guangxing brought the topic back to the main topic: "Forget it, I am too lazy to argue with you, who made you give me another credit? In fact, you are the one who didn't talk about the lottery ticket today." In fact, I also have money to pay for Tianjin Wei’s military expenses, because the Oirat Mission has arrived with a large amount of goods, saying that they want to pay the compensation for renting firearms!”

Speaking of this, Emperor Guangxing glared at Hua Manlou again: "You bastard, I told you to take full responsibility, but in the end you didn't even report the number to me! You are ashamed to say that you are conscientious ?”

310. Forgiveness?Forgive me sir!

There is a phenomenon in the celestial dynasty, that is, the closer the relationship, the worse the attitude towards each other, and it has been the same in ancient and modern times.

It's like if two people bow to each other and salute properly after meeting, then the relationship between the two people is bound to be not very close, and even at the level of brothers and sisters, you can smell a sense of alienation in the wind.But if he swears and slaps his hands twice after meeting, and goes to his house as if he is at his own, then he must be a hard-core brother.

The same is true in front of the elders, the more the elders like you, the less likely they are to praise you, and they will often scold you with an ambiguous attitude - just like Emperor Guangxing Yu Huamanlou, who obviously came to see him in person, but Consciously or unconsciously, he still wants to say a few words...

The relationship between closeness and closeness is so mysterious, so no matter what Huamanlou did, he basically had to be scolded, and the same was true for the business with Wala, even if it gave Emperor Guangxing a huge surprise.

Of course, there was also an element of shock. After all, Wala brought so many things this time that Emperor Guangxing almost thought that Huamanlou had sold more than half of Xishan's inventory...

As far as the younger generation is concerned, no matter what the elder's actual attitude is, he has to admit his mistake with a grievance on his face, otherwise he will be a little ungrateful, so Hua Manlou explained weakly: "This... oh, then I was busy for a few days and forgot, I wanted to report it, but then it was robbed..."

That's exactly what it is.

Huyou Erstumu didn't know the real identity of Emperor Guangxing at that time, and he brought Zhao Ren with him at that time, thinking that Zhao Ren would report the matter to Uncle Zhao, and then Uncle Zhao would report to the emperor.

But Zhao Ren's stuff was obviously unreliable. At that time, he was only focused on the hot air balloon, and he didn't take the matter of paying tribute to his heart at all...

Then the hot air balloon fell from the sky. After Huamanlou met with Emperor Guangxing, he also forgot to mention it. After returning from Tianjinwei, his mind was full of White Lotus Sect and Tianjinwei, and he completely forgot about it...

Emperor Guangxing waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to care about it, and I don't care about it with you, so I just ask you, how do you price the things you sell to Wala?"

Hua Manlou said weakly: "It's not for sale, it's for lease. Three thousand pieces of Purdue are priced at nine hundred pieces of cowhide. The eliminated old guns are only exchanged for horses and cattle. One horse is exchanged for two, and one cattle is exchanged for one... Some of the bullets are given away, and the rest have to be bought... oh, rented..."

After hearing this, not to mention Emperor Guangxing, even Duke Ying couldn't help complaining: "You...you just said that you don't know how to do business?"

Because of Qi Wanrong's relationship, Ying Guogong knew how cheap the old firecrackers and Pudu were compared to ordinary ironware, but even he didn't expect that Huamanlou would dare to sell them like this!

The only one who was not clear about this at the scene was Ning Guogong who went to Datong. He looked at Ying Guogong blankly and said, "What's going on?"

Ying Guogong pointed to Huamanlou and said: "If you count by the capital, the profit of this scorpion is probably ten times more!"

"Ten times?!" Ning Guogong was startled: "Where are you stealing money?"

It's no wonder that the old man is terrified. After all, business is like this nowadays. The so-called one-year payback and two-year stable income are good businesses. It's like a building full of flowers. Once you enter and exit, you can make a fool of yourself. upside down...

Even Emperor Guangxing didn't know what to say.

Isn't this beautiful?

quite beautiful.

When he invested money in Xishanwei, Emperor Guangxing gritted his teeth and stuffed it in, and when he took out tiles later, he already felt that it was worth the money, but who would have thought that spending a lot of money would be so frustrating?

Not to mention the development of firearms, first there was a stove to make money, and then to produce agricultural tools. This has already surprised Emperor Guangxing, but who would have thought that Huamanlou would sell the things he had replaced to Wala, and then Steal money once?

The amount in the last wave is still very huge, there are countless cows and sheepskins, thousands of war horses, and thousands of farming cattle, and these are just used to pay the rental fee of that unfortunate reminder!

Not to mention, how many fields can be reclaimed by thousands of cattle!

He came here today just to talk about this matter, and by the way, he dug holes all over the building for nothing to scare people, but he never thought that he would come up with a lottery ticket without running a few words!

At this time, Emperor Guangxing felt that saying that Huamanlou was a lucky general was a bit belittling him. How could Fufu general make such a big move as quietly as Huamanlou?

He even felt that placing Huamanlou in Xishan was pure recklessness, so he should keep it in the capital and not go anywhere. If Da Zhao had any intractable diseases, he could just leave it to him, anyway, this player can play anything. Make a flower!

The most annoying thing is that if he doesn't hand over the matter to Hua Manlou, he will pretend that he doesn't know, and only spit out a little bit to scare people when he is in a hurry-isn't this the case today?

But as soon as he thought of the crown prince, Emperor Guangxing had no choice but to dismiss the idea—it was a compliment to say that Hua Manlou was a jerk, but Zhao Ren was not talented, he was the real jerk.

It’s okay not to compare, but after a comparison, seeing that other people’s children are so good, and his own children are so troublesome, Emperor Guangxing suddenly became angry again: I left such a useful minister to you , can't you do two things that make me look good?I have to draw a few more times when I have time!

Thinking about it, Emperor Guangxing's expression turned ugly, but Huamanlou thought that he had committed some taboo when he saw him like this, so he explained embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, what, this transaction is not a one-off, After all, firearms are consumables, and the price can be mentioned again, such as product upgrades, or the price of iron ore has risen, etc... And as far as the sale of firearms is concerned, all those sold to Wala are eliminated Products or things that are not very compliant, no matter how many things they take, the minister will have a way to counteract them, so I don't worry about them using this thing to fight against Da Zhao..."

Glancing at Emperor Guangxing who was still expressionless, Hua Manlou continued: "And Da Zhao can use their money to strengthen his soldiers, so he won't be afraid of them even more. As far as Wala is concerned, it's painful now." Beating Tatars is easier and more profitable than provoking Dazhao. After a while, Dazhao can also sell such things to Tatars so that they can continue to bite dogs. Anyway... Dazhao is not at a loss anyway , That's why this humble minister...cough, if there is something that is not thoughtful, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Guangxing almost laughed angrily: Forgive me?Forgive me sir!

You have not only solved the things that Guochao has not done for more than a hundred years, but you can also control the threat to a controllable range through economic means, and you can even reap countless benefits from it. In the end, you actually let me forgive you. ?

Emperor Guangxing couldn't help sighing again: How good would it be to keep this product by his side?From time to time, he can create some surprises for people, and he is so well-behaved, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the group of old men who create problems in the court. With him in front of me, I am afraid that I can live an extra ten years, right?

311. Hurry up and thank you!

Emperor Guangxing, who always felt that he was kind, made exceptions and exceptions in the matter of Huamanlou, and there was no shortage of official titles and titles, but even so, he felt that he had treated Huamanlou a little bit.

Although compared with those officials who are really conscientious and dedicated, Huamanlou is idle on a daily basis, but the problem is that Huamanlou can always scratch the most itchy place of Emperor Guangxing-this is like two people who joined the company at the same time. Diligent but low-key, the other can solve his problems in front of the leader if he has nothing to do, who do you think the leader will value more?

So Emperor Guangxing glared at Hua Manlou: "If this is an apology, the vast majority of people in the court should commit suicide to thank the world! It's alright, alright, you stand up and speak up!"

Hua Manlou was a little confused: Is this master really angry?

It is impossible to be angry, at least not to Hua ManLou, just a little depressed.

Because in Emperor Guangxing's view, meritorious service should be rewarded, and at the same time, if there is ability, it should be placed in a more suitable place. He has always been very experienced in employing people.

But Huamanlou was young, broke the rules and broke the rules, promoted and promoted, and finally found that the stage given to him was still too small, so that Emperor Guangxing doubted his skills of employing people—— Huamanlou has designed the route and planned the development, but why are things always unexpected?

For a moment, Emperor Guangxing was even Y`Y: How good would it be if this guy were his own son?

Thinking of this, even Emperor Guangxing himself was a little shocked, but then he felt that this matter might not be impossible, such as finding a princess from a side branch to marry him as his daughter?

But soon he dismissed this idea, because the adopted ones are the adopted ones after all, and they are still separated by a layer or two. They are not comparable to his own daughter, and after being recognized as a daughter, he has to be treated like a princess, but the princess... …

To be honest, Da Zhao's princess is really not worth much.

Princess Shang’s son-in-law—here, most people marry wives, only the princess here is Shang’s son-in-law, which means roughly the same as becoming a son-in-law, and after becoming a son-in-law, this future is completely gone. You can’t be in politics or be an official. There is only one identity: the husband of the princess.

That is to say, if Huamanlou marries a princess, then even if Emperor Guangxing wants to use him in the future, he can only let him stand in front of him like a master next to the county magistrate to give advice, and he cannot actually take power To do things, even if it is used in an exceptional way, you have to set some rules for him not to touch the nerves of civil servants. In this way, how much ability can he show with his hands and feet tied up?

Therefore, the general son-in-law is selected from the people, and most of the selected ones are those who have not very prominent family backgrounds and have little ability.

What's more, unlike princesses of other dynasties who would marry into their husband's family, the princesses of Dazhao usually live in the Tenth Palace. Making things difficult for the prince-in-law with these regulations...

To meet my daughter-in-law, I have to bribe the people around her, so most consorts and princesses with mediocre conditions live like cowherds and weaving girls. How clear, but it is what it is.

So, since the son-in-law can't do it, why not adopt a son-in-law?

Although the emperor's adoptive son is quite out of line, there are even incidents where the emperor's adopted son snatched the throne from the rightful master. It's about to destroy the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

But there are many successful cases. For example, most of Zhu Yuanzhang’s adoptive sons were okay. Among them, Mu Ying was the most outstanding one, and the Mu family could be said to have truly lived with the country. Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, Lord Wei’s little princess’s wife is from the Mu family... Oh, that’s Master Jin’s novel.

All in all, Emperor Guangxing felt that based on Hua Manlou's awe and his good relationship with the crown prince, he would generally not be able to do the thing of grabbing the throne of his adopted brother... right?

It has to be said that human nature is the most vulnerable to the test. What if Huamanlou tastes the sweetness of power in the future, and then gradually forgets the original intention...

Emperor Guangxing's thoughts changed sharply, he hesitated, and even began to worry about gains and losses.

To be honest, even if another person came to Emperor Guangxing, he would not have such thoughts at all. He would definitely remove all obstacles that threatened Zhao Ren's succession, and would never leave him any possible hidden dangers.

But the problem is, firstly, Huamanlou is really outstanding, so outstanding that Emperor Guangxing deserves to think about him, and secondly, Zhao Ren is also too unreliable. Based on his relationship with Huamanlou, he can't say for himself He could lift Huamanlou to a position of less than one person and more than ten thousand people just by kicking his legs, so if Huamanlou really betrayed at that time, how would the situation be any different from accepting a son by himself?

And if there is such a relationship between father and son and brother, maybe the situation will be better?After all, Hua Manlou seemed to be a kind person. Even though he knew that he had a huge relationship with him, he still interceded for the white lotus saint for the sake of saving his life. Isn't that enough?

And according to how much Huamanlou cares for his father, after recognizing him as a foster son, he should also take care of himself, right?Then if it was a matter of heart and soul, then he wouldn't have to fight wits with him every time for a long time before he confides something, right?

In addition, the emperor's adopted son is still the emperor's son even if he does not become a prince. In the future, everyone will have to weigh the weight of it when he does things. In an instant, the stage of Huamanlou will be enlarged countless times, and he can let him enjoy himself. play, so...

Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxing didn't hesitate at all, he turned his head to look at Uncle Huai'an, and said with a smile: "Hua Aiqing, I want to recognize this Shuzi as my adopted son, what does Aiqing think?"

Bah!

puff!

Dang!

Ning Guogong almost fell off the stool, Ying Guogong, who was drinking tea, performed a human fountain, and Huai Anbo threw the teacup on the ground directly.

"Your Majesty, this...it's too...too shocking to be true!" After a long time, Uncle Huai'an came to his senses, his heart beating wildly, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Emperor Guangxing said warmly: "You don't have to worry about it, folks can still recognize a righteous son, so why not? Oh, your Hua family has been passed down for several generations, so he doesn't need to change his surname, and he can choose one of his sons to change his surname to Zhao in the future."

Uncle Huai'an was trembling and speechless, and Duke Ying slapped him on the back anxiously: "Why don't you thank me quickly?"

Lao Hua jumped up in a hurry and threw her head on the ground: "I can't report my shame!"

And during this period, Hua Manlou was in a daze: Why... why did he suddenly have a father?By the way, no one asks for my opinion?If I recognize this father, will I be treated the same as Zhao Ren in the future, and I will be beaten every now and then?

Seeing that Uncle Huai'an was kneeling on the ground, Hua Manlou was still standing there like a silly roe deer, while Duke Ning also patted him: "What are you thinking? Thank you!"

312. Old mille-feuille

It is a very personal act to recognize a son in the imperial court. For example, having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

Lao Cao's sons are more powerful than the other, not only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who are representatives of Jian'an literature, but also Cao Chong, who has understood the equivalent substitution at a young age, so Hua Manlou has always thought that what is the right thing to have a child? scolding...

Oh, this is not the son I recognized.

All in all, people these days don't have so much fun, and godsons are like real sons—not the godsons of Hua Manlou's previous life, that kind of thing is called face head.

Therefore, accepting a son is also a relatively serious matter, without the slightest hint of ridicule, otherwise Emperor Guangxing would not have said that Huamanlou should choose a son to change his surname to Zhao.

In addition, judging from the meaning of Emperor Guangxing's words, he would not confer the title of prince on Huamanlou.

The reason is very simple, because the vassal kings of Dazhao generally feel similar to being raised in captivity. If they leave the fief and return to the capital, they have to ask for an order, otherwise they will violate the rules and violate the taboo.And Emperor Guangxing didn't want to drive Huamanlou out of the capital, so why would he be a prince?

And if you just recognize a godson and canonize him as king, it will easily cause the courtiers to backlash.

Because the vassal king's policy is good on the one hand, the vassal kings can't shake the emperor's rule at all, but the bad food is the bad food. In the captivity environment, the only things that this group of vassal kings can do are life and death, so this group of people No matter which one's children and grandchildren have to be canonized, and they have to be treated if they are canonized, even if they are downgraded to one level every other generation, but the children born from generation to generation by this group of superborn guerrillas have already made Da Zhao's finances dying. And land annexation is also the most violent of this group of people.

Judging from the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of descendants of the Zhu family at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable how capable these people were. The lack of money in the Ming Dynasty was largely created by them.

In other words, the vassal kings have become social problems because they are mixed up, and no one in the court treats them at all, and many people don't even give the vassals face at all—that is to say, the vassal kings of Dazhao are still It's really not worth much, so no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Emperor Guangxing to set up a prince for Huamanlou to set him on fire.

However, because of the relationship with the adopted son, Huamanlou's room for improvement has been completely opened up. If he has made meritorious service in the future, Emperor Guangxing can easily be promoted. Who would not open their eyes and step forward to make things difficult?

Anyway, that's what Zhu Yuanzhang did. His adopted sons were the deputy of some generals at the beginning. They can monitor the trend and accumulate experience.

So let's just say that, even though there is no king, but the adopted son is the adopted son, who would dare to take the son recognized by the emperor as a cadre?

This is the most fundamental purpose of Emperor Guangxing - to raise Huamanlou's status and reward him without making him a target of public criticism, and to let him let go of his hands and feet completely, so why not do it?It is to give treatment to Wang Jue, so he can posthumously posthumously. Didn't Mu Ying posthumously posthumously the title of Qianning King after she died?

The old mille-feuille cake is doing things, thinking about the problem is called comprehensive, and even thinks clearly about the affairs after Huamanlou's death.

As for the Hua family, having this kind of relationship is more useful than getting Danshu Iron Coupons. After Lai Huamanlou was recognized as the adopted son, the safety factor can be said to be greatly improved.

After all, although Uncle Huai'an is now very pleased that Huamanlou is promising, he feels that Huamanlou's pretentiousness is uncertain how many people he will offend in the future, but now he has become the adopted son of Emperor Guangxing and the righteous son of the prince. Brother, at least in the two dynasties, as long as he doesn't die, he will be able to live until he dies. Isn't this more beneficial than being promoted to a county king?

So, the people of the Hua family are all virtuous, as long as they are stable, they don't care about anything else.

And after Uncle Huai'an agreed, Hua Manlou's opinion really didn't matter. It's the fate of the parents, and the father doesn't mind sharing his son, so what else can he say?

But if you don't say it, where should you put the stagnation in your heart?

After being stunned for a long while, Hua Manlou finally came to his senses: In this damn feudal era, the emperor did whatever he said, and he didn't care about his own opinion at all, so he couldn't be offended!

And soon he became aware of Emperor Guangxing's intentions, because Emperor Guangxing cheerfully stated that Huamanlou would be solely responsible for lottery matters, and his net income would be...

You see, the previous episode also said that [-]% of Xishanwei's income is spent on the floor, but after becoming a son, it becomes [-]% in an instant, and there are many things to do!

The most speechless thing is that there is an extra father for no reason, who can bear it?

Although this father doesn't need to take care of himself, unlike the previous life where there are four elders who are born in the [-]s and [-]s... Maybe there are three children and nine grandchildren, which puts a lot of pressure on him, but in the future, the things that this father ordered will cost a lot. Does Lou still dare to play tricks?
