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

……

After returning to the palace, Emperor Guangxing did not rush to issue an order, but first ordered Xu Dacheng: "Bring the prince over here, I have something to ask him."

Seeing Emperor Guangxing's gloomy face, Xu Dacheng responded with a heavy face on the surface, but he was really happy in his heart: Look, what did our family say?How could His Majesty be so easy to fool? Uncle Huai'an, Hua Manlou and his son were trying to gain favor by relying on that little trick, how could it be possible?

This holy family, others will share less, our family must be more vigilant, and we can't let people take advantage of loopholes!

The honest and loyal Mr. Xu found the crown prince happily, and just as he took Zhao Ren into the bedroom, before he could salute, he heard Emperor Guangxing angrily say, "Nizi, kneel down!"

This not only shocked Zhao Ren, but also Xu Dacheng: What do you mean, could it be that Hua Manlou dumped the matter of Purdue to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Until now, Eunuch Xu thought that Emperor Guangxing's gloomy face was due to the failure of expectations, and that the battle in Datong was about to turn yellow...

Little did he know that after Emperor Guangxing smoothed things over, he suddenly felt a wave of depression: they were sons who were called bastards, but the prince hadn't made any progress so far, but Huamanlou let himself, who always hated making exceptions, make an exception and reuse him. Can this not be depressed?

So on the way back to the palace, Emperor Guangxing became more and more angry when he thought about it. When he recalled the way Uncle Huai'an raised his son, his anger broke through the bottom line: Today, the prince must be smoked, and if he doesn't smoke it, it will not be enough for the people to be angry... Ping my anger!

Before entering the hall, Zhao Ren was still having fun. He planned to perform a righteous performance for Emperor Guangxing, "But there are three thousand Purdues here", but Emperor Guangxing couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard the voice of Emperor Guangxing: "Father Why did you get angry? My son didn't cause any trouble today!"

Emperor Guangxing hesitated when he heard the words: Yes, isn't it a bit bad to punish without teaching?

But then he became even angrier: If there was no trouble today, what about yesterday?What about the day before yesterday?

Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxing casually picked up the cane he had just prepared and pointed at Zhao Ren, "Don't talk too much, Nizi, die!"

49. A regiment

Hua Manlou didn't know that Zhao Ren had been beaten because of him, or that Emperor Guangxing had planned a major event in a single thought, and he was the core of this major event.

At this time, he was lamenting how decadent the life of the feudal aristocrats was: Slumped on the Arhat’s bed without doing anything, Qin’er would feed his favorite food to his mouth, and even peel grapes and other fruits seed...

"Comfortable..."

Huamanlou is like a high paraplegic patient, squinting his eyes to enjoy Qin'er's apology - Uncle Huai'an did not beat Huamanlou after returning home yesterday, so Qin'er felt that it was wrong to doubt his young master, so today's one out.

The little girl's stubbornness and earnestness made Huamanlou feel dumbfounded, but he would not refuse to be served paralyzed, and he was extremely satisfied with his treatment: This is the salted fish life that my master wants!

"Master, don't you really need to be on duty today?" Qin'er wiped the corners of Hua Manlou's mouth with a handkerchief, and asked when he was about to fall asleep.

Hua Manlou didn't even bother to open his eyes: "Well, no need. Today... yawn... I'll be with you today..."

Hua Manlou was a little helpless about the little girl's question: When will this little girl understand that Da Zhao's little general banner can still function without her own?

It is no longer necessary to keep an eye on Purdue's production, and send Peng Guang to supervise. The grenadiers of the Fifth Army Battalion are also taken care of by Huang Zichao, so I can be absent from work openly...cough, rest.And the past few days are busy like a dog, isn't it just to enjoy today's salted fish treatment early?

But having said that, in the previous life, [-] still had one day to rest. I have been working hard in the Shenji camp for six days, and it is still a f*cking [-]. What's the matter with taking a day off?

Hearing Hua Manlou's affirmation, Qin'er said happily: "Then young master, please rest well, let me go to the kitchen and have a look?"

Qin'er bounced away, Hua Manlou felt his ears were quiet, and began to plan what to do next.

"This time I estimate that there will be a hundred households, and there is a high probability that it will be a hundred households from the East Street Hundred Households Office. Tomorrow, the Fifth Army Battalion will leave, and the group of craftsmen will probably return to work in the construction bureau, so... yawn..." Hua Manlou yawned again, this time with tears from the corners of his eyes: "So I can continue to go back to Baihu to fish after that, well, it's almost time to read the Four Books and Five Classics..."

"Again, Qin'er has to teach her well. Seeing that winter is coming, the shabby house in Baihusuo cannot stay there because of the air leakage, so she will have to fish at home in the future. If I don't go to work all day, She was tearful all day long, as if I had committed a great crime, I couldn't bear it..."

"Oh, that's right..." Hua Manlou suddenly thought of one thing: "Time travel, how can you forget about making money in this busy work? For example, can you have perfume? This is a must-have money-making tool for the time travel party." ! And what, the white sugar seems to be quite valuable these days, um, and the glass... hiss... these days, I lost [-] million!"

It has to be said that although Uncle Huai'an is prominent, he is not as big and successful as Ying Guogong's family. Judging by the flowers and buildings, it is a typical example of more than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom.

People don't pay much attention to investment these days, and people with a little bit of ability will invest money in land—people nowadays think that only land can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, and things like silver are easy to lose and are not easy to use, so The more prominent the family, the bigger the landlord, and the Hua family is no exception.

It’s just eating in the land, how much money do you have throughout the year?Moreover, the Hua family's land is not much, and the annual harvest can be said to be that the landlord's family has no surplus food, so as the son of the earl, Qin'er is the only person who takes care of Hua Manlou.

Look at Jia Baoyu, how many girls are around?

The so-called poor is lonely, and rich is full of wives and concubines. There is nothing wrong with Qin'er, but if there is only Qin'er, then...cough cough, isn't Qin'er very lonely?

So Huamanlou began to have a sweet dream: first pour out sugar, then pour out perfume, and monopolize the glass industry in Dazhao after completing the primitive accumulation of capital, what will happen next?I seem to remember the formula of cement, how about real estate?Or organize a large convoy to engage in ocean-going trade, selling inferior silk tea to those ignorant red-haired fans?

Oh, it's about time, the Yangzhou skinny horse at home must at least raise a regiment, right?The manor doesn't need to be too big. If the son wants to run away from home, he can leave the house before he is eight years old. Too big is not good; if there is a daughter, she doesn't need too much dowry when she gets married in the future. A thousand carriages can fit it... …

After thinking about it, Hua Manlou fell asleep.

"Master, Master!"

In his sleep, Huamanlou heard Qin'er's call again.

Well, Qin'er...

No matter how you say it, Qin'er is a big girl in Tongfang, let Qin'er take care of the Yangzhou skinny horses in that regiment... Oh yes, look at Qi Wanrong, a group of maids are all dressed up as female soldiers, there is no creativity at all what!

So when the time comes, this young master will divide the group of skinny horses into groups and dress up according to their styles...

"Master, wake up!"

"Uh-huh?"

Hua Manlou opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Qin'er in front of him with an anxious expression on his face: "Young master, the master is back, and there is a guest coming to see you for something important..."

Hua Manlou was in a daze for a while before remembering that he hadn't started earning money, or even tried to make white sugar, and that group of Yangzhou skinny horses still had a long way to go...

Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Hua Manlou sat up feeling disappointed: "Oh, I'll go right away. By the way, who is looking for me?"

What a beautiful dream, how can you not feel lost when you are suddenly awakened like this?

People can control their own behavior, but they can never control their dreams. Sweet dreams are really rare, even the dream of picking up money is not very common.Huamanlou clearly remembered that he only had the dream of picking up money twice, and every time he woke up, he was just like now, feeling lost and in a very bad mood...

Qin'er hastily wiped Hua Manlou's face with a towel: "The butler, Uncle Liu, said he was an official from the Ministry of Industry, so don't ask, young master, go!"

Hua Manlou yawned: "Oh, Uncle Zhao."

It seems that after Uncle Zhao played the role of the emperor, the reward came down.

Huamanlou has no interest in this at all, after all, he is not rare at all, and he also knows that the emperor's rewards these days are basically meaning-the so-called ten thousand gold is actually [-] copper coins, and the golden belt is copper coins. The belt is dirty and ugly, and worthless, its value is equivalent to a certificate of honor...

If it wasn't for breaking the law by secretly tinkering with iron tools these days, Huamanlou's smelting technology alone would have made a lot of money in a short period of time... Cough, what about tens of thousands of gold, do you think he cares about the ten thousand gold rewarded by the emperor?

(Someone asked about the harem...how should I put it, what I wrote was cut off, so which book is not the harem? So be safe and don’t be impatient, isn’t this the beginning of the story?)

50. Why is this only the same as imagined?

Walking unsteadily to the front hall, Huamanlou heard a familiar shout just after entering the door: "Nizi, kneel down!"

For a moment, Hua Manlou almost knelt down reflexively, but he reacted when his knees were slightly bent, and then he looked at the angry Uncle Huai'an with a puzzled expression: "Father, what happened to me?"

Uncle Huai'an is shaking all over now: Well, it's nothing, the emperor usually has to kneel down to greet him, but you are lucky, you dare to sleep in the house...

In this feudal dynasty where the monarchy is supreme, the emperor of the country is not like the monarchs in the West, who would have a party with his courtiers at every turn. Since Dong Zhongshu proposed the idea of ​​the induction of heaven and man, the emperor is the son of heaven, the real dragon , and the real dragon should fly in the sky, even if you have nothing to do, go to the courtier's house to chat with the courtier, the courtier should open the middle door and the whole family will kneel down to welcome it - what a glorious thing, it is the threshold that the real dragon stepped on I almost have to pay for it...

Emperor Guangxing was about to tease Huamanlou a few words at the beginning, but before he could speak, he was startled by Uncle Huai'an's voice. After he realized it, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem..."

As he said so, Emperor Guangxing was lamenting the Hua family's family style: only Hua Aiqing is so strict, can he teach a child like Hua Manlou?Well, we need to be stricter with the prince, yesterday's smoke wasn't enough...

After hearing Emperor Guangxing say that it is not in the way, Hua Manlou hurried down the steps regardless of who is in the way: "Uncle Zhao, forgive me, my nephew hasn't had a good rest recently, so I am a little tired..."

Uncle Huai'an trembled even more when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened: he didn't know how Huamanlou called the emperor before, but now he almost fainted when he heard it—even though his son didn't know it yet. The identity of the 'Uncle Zhao' in front of me, but I will know it no matter what in the future, when the time comes...

Emperor Guangxing finally adjusted his mentality now, and began to play the role of Uncle Zhao cheerfully: "I know that my nephew has been exhausted for the past few days, so didn't I go to Shenji Camp to find you? Come on." Come, come and sit!"

Hua Manlou took a careful look at Uncle Huai'an, who was pale, and then took a seat under Emperor Guangxing: "Uncle, what's the good thing you're here today?"

This is a polite remark. Huamanlou just wanted to take the opportunity to bring the topic back on track. After all, Uncle Zhao was tricked by him once, so Huamanlou felt that he had seen through the essence, and he planned to make a quick decision. The best choice is not to say unnecessary words in front of Uncle Zhao, so that he will not report everything to the emperor, and then put himself in a pit of death.

In addition, what good things can Uncle Zhao come here today?At most, it's just for Huang Zichao and those craftsmen to seek some benefits - the promotion is bad news for Huamanlou, not a good thing...

Emperor Guangxing said cheerfully: "It's really a good thing. Do you know Xishan?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "I know."

The so-called inexhaustible Xishan coal, the coal mines in the Xishan of the capital are also very famous in Huamanlou's previous life.

As the old saying goes, the firewood is exhausted and the coal is produced. The trees have been felled seriously these days, and the price of charcoal is rising day by day. Therefore, people are not only making iron, but people are also starting to use coal for heating. In the Xishan area of ​​the capital, the Hunhe River , Dayu, Mentougou and Juyongguan are dotted with coal mines...

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou was a little dazed: It's so good, why are you talking about Xishan?You don't want me to dig coal, do you?

Emperor Guangxing nodded and said with a smile: "A few years ago, someone dug out coal in Xishan..."

Dang!

With a shake of his hand, Hua Manlou threw the big Zhao Guangxing blue and white porcelain tea bowl he just picked up on the ground: "Coal...coal?"

Emperor Guangxing thought he was pleasantly surprised, so he smiled indifferently and said: "Yes, coal, and it is still the best coal. So His Majesty heard that you can use coal to make iron, so he moved his mind on this aspect and wanted to open a coal mine in Xishan. The Xuanwu Wei Xishan Thousand Household Office, on the one hand, supervises coal mining, and on the other hand, it can make iron nearby..."

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded...

"In addition, I also presented your new-style firecracker. His Majesty is very interested, so I asked you to develop it in Qianhu, Xishan..."

Hua Manlou was dumbfounded...

"Recently, the artisan households who accompanied you in making iron will allocate it to you. In addition, your subordinates at the Hundred Households on the East Street will also be assigned to you. In addition, the general manager Huang Zichao of the Shenji Camp will be transferred to you as your deputy. As for other People, because considering that new firearms need to be tested by a special person, except for craftsmen and necessary personnel in your thousand households, other people can be recruited by yourself... Do you understand? Congratulations, Mr. Hua Qian, Huang En mighty."

Hua ManLou is dying...

God damn Mr. Qian!What a god, the emperor's grace is mighty!The young master wants to be a salted fish, who the hell wants to be a thousand households of the Xuanwu Guard?Moreover, there is no leaky house, and everything has to be solved by himself, Mr. Qian of the Qianhu Institute of Xishan Xuanwuwei!

Seeing Hua Manlou's 'extremely shocked' expression, Emperor Guangxing was extremely satisfied.

In fact, this so-called Xuanwuwei Thousand Households House was a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time and considering all aspects.

First of all, Xuanwuwei is no different than other guards. To put it bluntly, it is the emperor's eagle dog, but to put it bluntly, Xuanwuwei is the emperor's own army, directly responsible to the emperor. No matter how promoted Huamanlou is placed here, he will not touch it. For the benefit of the court, it will not let him get involved in the muddy water in the court, which is equivalent to protecting Huamanlou in disguise-this is the uniqueness of Xuanwuwei, otherwise the emperor would like to give a few What if no one said anything about a conductor?

Secondly, Emperor Guangxing has instructed Lu Kun that the Fusi of Nanbei Town should not interfere with the Xishan Qianhu Office by any means.That is to say, this Xishan Thousand Households Office is actually a cover, and it belongs to Xuanwuwei in name. In fact, even if Huamanlou blows up Xishan, no one will trouble him except the emperor. This gives Huamanlou Maximum autonomy.

Third, if Huamanlou can produce more moths in the future, then it is only necessary to raise the rank of this Xishan Qianhusuo, or even lift it to the same position as Xuanwuwei and separate it directly, or plan to give it to the prince. Zhan Shi's Mansion is not a bad idea, if anyone in the court sees that there is a profit here and wants to intervene, they should first discuss it with the prince-this is another protective umbrella for Huamanlou.

Fourth, it is named Xuanwuwei. In fact, the number of places given to Huamanlou by Emperor Guangxing is unlimited, which means that he can recruit young and strong to train new firearms, grenadiers, and artillery—from the system It is said that this is a unit of the recruitment system, and it is an elite soldier that Emperor Guangxing placed high hopes on.

Otherwise, why would he transfer Huang Zichao to Huamanlou?Huang Zichao's past duties were to help Huamanlou lead the team and train the soldiers, and he could not interfere with anything else.

In addition, Emperor Guangxing also intentionally or unintentionally wanted this non-existing army to compete with the Shenji Battalion against Taiwan - he said in the Shenji Battalion that "you need to pay more attention to it." 'That's what it means...

Fifth, Emperor Guangxing was extremely angry with the group of people in the military supervision department. Their skills have not improved at all for more than a hundred years, and Huamanlou has just produced Pudu within a few days of making a move, and has even improved. Therefore, the Xishan Qianhusuo is a disguised military weapons factory, an arsenal that belongs exclusively to the emperor, and this is a disguised form of beating the Ministry of Industry...

Sixth, Emperor Guangxing not only intends to hand over the coal business to Huamanlou, but also wants to hand over the ironware manufacturing to Huamanlou. Therefore, the initial capital of the Xishan Thousand Households did not pass through the Ministry of Households at all, but It was Emperor Guangxing who took the money from the internal treasury out of his own pocket, so it won't be long before Dongchangchanggong Xu Dacheng will bring the money to see Huamanlou.

The initial funds belonged to Emperor Guangxing, and the profits from the coal also belonged to Emperor Guangxing, but Emperor Guangxing handed over the ironware to Zhao Ren, and planned to give [-]% to Huamanlou.

Emperor Guangxing understood better than anyone else that if he wanted the horse to run, he had to let the horse graze, otherwise how would Huamanlou have the motivation to tinker with better ironware?

Seventh, Huamanlou's construction of the Qianhu Office in Xishan did not issue an official imperial decree, but a central decree, or a secret decree, which made Huamanlou's responsibilities hidden. The coal yard is enough, so Huamanlou's secret army is a hidden dagger, which can be used to kill with one blow when necessary.

Eighth, no matter it is firecrackers, cannons, or Pudu, the movement is a bit loud, so the location of Qianhu Station in Xishan is not only for the purpose of getting coal nearby, but also for the purpose of hiding soldiers in the deep mountains...

In short, the setting up of the Xishan Qianhu House took a lot of Emperor Guangxing's mind, which shows his meticulous style and how high his expectations for Huamanlou are.

So how did Huamanlou react?

Pfft!

Hua ManLou fell from the chair, and in a trance, he seemed to hear singing from afar: Snowflakes fluttering, the north wind rustling, the sky and the earth, one piece, boundless...

15-year-old Chito, how much limelight does this get?

And it's the f*cking Xuanwuwei Qianhu, who would be fine if he wasn't scolded to death by those scholars who couldn't rub the sand in their eyes, and still trying to sneak into their team?

Even if they do the same thing, they can be transferred to Shenji Battalion or set up a new Xishanwei, but what about now?There is nothing less to do, and he has not been transferred from Xuanwuwei in the end!

The most frightening thing is that it is Xishan, which was placed outside the Fifth Ring Road of the capital city of Huamanlou's previous life. These days, it is a completely desolate place...

With tears in his eyes, Hua Manlou murmured in his heart: ade, the skinny horses in my dream; ade, my big house and the incomparably rich country...

At this time, the smiling Emperor Guangxing gave Huamanlou the last knife: "Your Majesty even gave you a golden belt, rewarding you ten thousand gold. Boy, work hard!"

Hua Manlou immediately felt his eyes go dark: Why is this place the same as imagined?What about my hundreds of households on the East Street where I can fish unlimitedly?

(Well, C Emperor Niubi~~~ After waking up in the middle of the night, no one has code words, and I still have [-] words in one breath...)

51. The Tradition of the Flower Family

Seeing Hua Manlou being so 'shocked' that he could hardly speak, Emperor Guangxing smiled in satisfaction.

Although there is an allusion of Ganluo's twelve worships in Guochao, it is a case within a case after all, and as far as Da Zhao is concerned, the 15-year-old military officer of the fifth rank is unique-after all, this thing is the fifth rank of the actual teaching. , is definitely not the title of the fifth grade.

Xuanwu Weiman counted fourteen thousand households, plus Huamanlou, which has not yet been established in Xishan, has only fifteen thousand households. Let alone the status gap between Xuanwuwei and ordinary guards, Huamanlou is basically a thousand households. Dissociated from Xuanwuwei, so there is only one such special fifth grade, Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou may not be able to understand Emperor Guangxing's overall plan, but Emperor Guangxing feels that Hua Manlou will be able to understand his intention sooner or later based on his understanding - don't you see that he is frozen now?
