Glancing at Feng Ziying deeply, Feng Tang didn't say much, "Ziying, Dad knows that you have an idea, and Dad also knows that this north-south dispute will probably continue because of your strategy of opening up the sea, well, of course, this is not your fault, it is good that you want to plan some hearts for the north, but you also have to weigh whether it can be done, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Dad, my son understands." Feng Ziying also knew that her father was worried that if she made too high wishes, but the result was in vain, she was afraid that this anger would come at her, and it was not worth it for this.

"In addition, although these Shanshan merchants have a close relationship with the Chaoli Beidi people, they have a deep relationship, but there are also some of them that are not so authentic, and they are colluded with the Mongols and Jurchens outside the border wall.

Feng Tang was already rare to use such words to remind anyone.

I originally thought that even if my son was well-educated and knowledgeable, but the age was there, this Jishi watched politics and entered the Hanlin Academy, so he should settle down for a few years, and then talk about accumulation.

Unexpectedly, this momentum of popularity was beyond anyone's imagination, many of them should have been reminded by his teachers, and now Feng Tang had to join in, lest his son get carried away.

Feng Ziying naturally knew the virtues of these Shanshan merchants.

To be precise, this is a huge group of mixed fish, including businessmen who are down-to-earth and aim to get the goods to the world, gamblers who specialize in opportunism and bet on border officials with Lü Buwei as an example, and the kind of characters who bet on both sides by accumulating contacts from all sides.

The latter, in particular, is even more pot-oriented with the Great Zhou as the pot and the Mongols and Jurchens as the cups, completely profit-oriented, ignoring the possible consequences.

Seeing Feng Ziying's deep expression, Feng Tang didn't say deeply, knowing that his son probably should also consider these things, how to choose a partner, not only his son will be at the helm, but also Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia will be the gatekeepers.

"Well, you go, come to my study at night, and I'll talk to you about Liaodong." Feng Tang waved his hand.

originally wanted to go to Maxiang Hutong, but when he heard his father say this, he had no choice but to do it, but Feng Ziying really wanted to discuss the Liaodong strategy with his father.

It used to be enough, but now that Daddy has gone to Liaodong, all the pressure is on Daddy's shoulders, I wanted to let my Daddy come back in a few years, Daddy completely subverted Feng Ziying's previous impression, he felt that maybe Daddy went to Liaodong It may not be a bad thing.

Judging from the timeline, the Jianzhou Jurchens have not yet developed to the point where they cannot be contained, even if the Ula Department is really annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens, as long as the Yehe Department is ensured and the Horqin people are suppressed to prevent them from completely falling to the Jianzhou Jurchens, then the Jianzhou Jurchens will not want to go south easily.

Of course, the key to the key is to recognize Daddy and quickly grasp Liaodong Town, the most powerful border town in the Great Zhou.

With the departure of Li Chengliang, the morale of this army is also rapidly disintegrating, if it can't be cheered up quickly, it will be difficult to return to the state of reassuring the imperial court in the future, so Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke are so eager to ask their father to go to the post quickly, at least to stabilize the morale of the army first.

Stabilizing the morale of the army is nothing more than two strategies, one is to win the battle, and the other is to ensure the supply of food and wages, and the second policy should not be regarded as a single policy, but for the situation that the entire nine sides have been in arrears of pay and food for a long time, this second strategy seems to be even more practical and effective than the first policy.

Of course, if you want to really hold this army in your hands, you have to rely on two solid victories, and the most fundamental guarantee for winning the battle is to ensure that the supply is satisfied.

As soon as Daddy came back, the entire Feng Mansion immediately became lively as if it was a festival.

In addition to the sudden increase in the number of guests who came to visit, the faces of the people in the house were vivid, at least the old lady and several aunts were smiling at any time, and even the chances of bringing people to be rewarded were several times more than usual.

Daddy's trip back to Beijing after stepping down as the chief soldier of Yulin is considered to be a return in fine clothes, and he will not go to Yulin again, so he naturally wants to bring back everything that should be brought back.

For the generals to return with glory, whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Dragon Forbidden Captain, they are relatively relaxed, even if there are some bullet stamps, the emperor will keep them.

People go to the battlefield to work hard for a few years, and when they come back from victory, they are not allowed to make a handful, and there is no such reason in the world, which is the most simple philosophy of this era.

Leather goods, gold sand, furs, good horses, and inevitably some jewels and gemstones, after all, Gansu and Ningxia are connected to the west, and there are many such things.

"Ziying's marriage is scheduled for December, and it will be good to celebrate the New Year if you become a parent." Sitting on the kang, Feng Tang took a sip of the lotus seed soup sent over, "I went to the letter with the Shen family, this trip to Liaodong, I'm afraid I don't know when I will be able to come back, Ziying may not be able to come back if she gets married,......"

Da Duan sat at the other end of the kang, while Xiao Duan, Su, and Xie all sat in the lower chair.

"What does the master think about the Lin family's affairs over there?" Da Duan couldn't help but ask more.

"Since Ziying likes it and is married, can she still regret it?" Feng Tang saw his wife's thoughts and shook his head.

I'm afraid that Lin Ruhai died, and I felt that this Lin family girl had become an orphan girl, which was not so suitable, it was indeed not a good family affair for the woman's parents to die in these years, but she could regret it before she got married, but she had to regret her marriage after she got married, that was another matter, this was self-destructing her reputation, and for Shilin literati, it was even more so, of course Feng Tang would not agree.

Da Duan's couldn't help but cover up, "I think Miss Na Lin is too weak, in case she ......"

"Didn't you say that there was also a concubine sister who came to marry?" Feng Tang frowned, "Could it be that her sister is also emaciated?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that I inquired about the woman, and she seems to be a little cold and arrogant,......," Da Duan quickly explained.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can give birth and raise, not to mention that the Lin family may not be able to give birth and raise." Feng Tang waved his hand, "Once you are married, there is no need to talk about such things, our Feng family is also a family with a head and a face now, don't be laughed at, Ziying's current identity is even more unusual, and the engagement should be cautious, but if it is settled, it cannot be easily changed." ”

"Since the master said so, then just do what the master said, and let the mansion go to discuss with the Shen family, so that the specific matters can be laid out as soon as possible." Seeing that her husband was so firm, Da Duan didn't say anything more.

Feng Tang also knew his wife's worries, after all, the Lin family's side was a three-room, that is, his own room, thinking from the Duan family's heart, he still wanted to seek stability, in case it was really weak, it would be a big deal.

"You don't have to be anxious, this woman couldn't be seen when she was young, wasn't she almost thirty when you gave birth to Ziying?" Feng Tang comforted Duan, Duan's health was not very good when he was young, and he and Duan were married for more than ten years before giving birth to Feng Ziying.

"It is precisely because of the concubine that the master only has this one son, so the concubine is unwilling to let Ziying repeat the same mistakes." The Duan clan was also a little gloomy.

In addition to himself, several concubines in the family are also unlucky, except for the Su family who gave birth to a daughter, his sister is also none.

This Feng family's thin and thin commission is really worrying, so she attaches great importance to this matter, and fortunately, Ziying is angry and earns a contemporary, although it is nominally to continue the incense for the long house, but Ziying is her own son after all, can the children born by this Shen family not call their grandmother?

"Sister, don't think too much, Miss Lin is still young and can't see anything, but I saw that Miaoyu girl, she has a long body and rich flesh, and it seems that she can give birth." Xiao Duan's answered, "Besides, if it's really bad, in Ziying's room, I think Jin Chu'er is also a child who can be born, I called Baoxiang the day before yesterday to ask, saying that Ziying's two outer rooms raised in Maxiang Hutong are all powerful in the buttocks, although it is a Hu girl, but as long as she can give birth to a son, it is also the blood of our Feng family,......"

Feng Ziying raised two outer rooms in Maxiang Hutong and it has long been spread in the house, but Feng Ziying never talks about it in people's homes.

Feng Tang pondered for a moment, "Or, Wanqin, you and Ziying will talk about it, and if not, let those two girls enter the mansion first?" ”

It is not a special case to take a concubine before marrying a wife, but with a large number of small households, it is necessary to be cautious about the marriage of such a high-ranking family.

If it is a girl in the house, it doesn't matter, but the concubine is a good concubine of a serious family outside, according to the customs of the Great Zhou, it is disrespectful to the wife's side, so generally speaking, the big family would rather raise a few more girls, even if they have children before getting married, then they will not raise the concubine for the time being, and wait until the wife enters the door, and then come to raise the concubine, so as to avoid many disputes.

Both the big and small Duan clans hesitated for a moment, and finally the big Duan clan shook his head: "It's been the past half a year, so let's wait until the Shen clan passes through the door before bringing it in." ”

"Well, it's been half a year." Feng Tang also nodded, "How many girls are there in Ziying's house now?" ”

"Four, but that jade Chu'er was arranged by Ziying to serve that Miaoyu girl." Xiao Duan's Road.

"Hmm, all three of them were sent from the Jia family?" Feng Tang seemed to smile, "Ziying, this kid just looks down on our house?" Is it just like that? ”

Speaking of this, Da Duan's family was also a little annoyed, "I don't know if Ziying has been hit by the Jia family's ecstasy, and there are many handsome girls in our house, but he just can't look down on it, except for a cloud dress,......"
