"Hey, it's against you, and you dare to instigate your brother-in-law to take a concubine!" Wang Dayi's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and he rolled up his arms and sleeves, and he was really angry.

"Daddy can be, why can't my brother-in-law take a concubine!" Wang Qi also let go, he didn't dare to do it with the eldest sister, but he had to explain the reason when he was beaten.

"Shut up for me, what should I do!" Hong Tao didn't intend to care about the dispute between the two children, and hoped that Wang Daneng would subdue Wang Qi by force and make him agree to marry Wang Thirteen.

This matter can only be brought forward by Wang Da, who has taught his children since he was a child to have the courage to resist power and fight for his own interests, but the result is a bit self-inflicted, and even the marriage of the children cannot be decided in a word.

But the two children were arguing and arguing a little off, how could they talk about the issue of concubines. If you continue to talk about it, you have to come to yourself to judge, this reason really can't be evaluated, you can't say that a father can take a bunch of wives and concubines, and his son can't do it, it's unreasonable.

"I'm afraid I don't have to worry about the affairs of the thirteen girls, she has two apprentices on the island, they are a pair of Jewish sisters and brothers, and the younger brother and the thirteen girls seem to be very reasonable."

Wang Shisan's marriage is not only worried about Hong Tao, Jiang Erlang is also very concerned, this withdrawn girl has now become the true god on Jeju Island, especially among the Tamna people, because she can exempt people from pain and let people see Elysium, which is a real paradise.

"When did you, the uncle, become so concerned about your niece?" The news provided by Jiang Erlang Hong Tao doesn't think it's fake, but he is not that kind of person, he usually doesn't care about such things at all, why did he suddenly change his temperament?

“…… It was discovered by Chen Niang. Jiang Erlang scratched his head, feeling that he really shouldn't be gossiping about his niece behind his back, especially this kind of gossip that hasn't been skimmed yet.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the two sisters and brothers were also sent by her, right? You really know how to repay the favor, you have all calculated to this king's house, quickly disappear from my eyes, and you, Lord Xiao, also get away together! ”

Will Wang 13 accept apprentices? This is impossible, she didn't even bother to deal with Wang Shi, how could she find two interracial helpers for no reason. The only one who can convince Wang Thirteen is Chen Niang.

But why did Chen Niang do this, others couldn't guess that Hong Tao must know that he must know that his daughter is like his father, and he inherits the same lineage. Chen Niang is going to leave Wang 13 on Jeju Island in disguise and secretly rob people with herself.

If Chen Niang is the mastermind behind the scenes, then Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna are accomplices, pretending not to know and listening to themselves. Hong Tao's attitude was very clear, and he blasted the two dogs away together.

In fact, it is also very helpless, when the parents have emotional problems, they can't interfere rudely, if Wang Shisanzhen and the Jewish youth look at each other, Chen Niang's conspiracy will really succeed.

With a wide and smooth post road, the marching speed of the new army was significantly accelerated, and it could not be said that every day was a rapid march, it was also a rapid march, starting at two hundred miles, and it would be added if the weather was good.

It doesn't matter what kind of horses have physical strength, it doesn't matter if they are all exhausted to death, as long as they arrive in Weiqiao Town, they can have as many military horses as they want, and if they can't do it, they can also be requisitioned from the forbidden army.

He is not in charge of the Xia soldiers and horses, and all the troops related to the Xia war are nominally under his own control, and it is not easy to call them casually, but it is still no problem to borrow some horses.

I think that the commander of the forbidden army will not oppose himself in this regard, and if there is, then kill it again, just so that the soldiers who are not particularly familiar with the musket can practice their hands, and firing at the river all day long will definitely not have a good effect of shooting the living.

Eight days after leaving Jiangling, more than 11,000 Seven Star Army plus all the equipment and baggage had already set up camp outside the city of Jingzhaofu, while Hong Tao and Jiang Erlang led a team of guards to Weiqiao Town, which was more than ten miles away.

"It's a pity, such a good place, but it has become such a situation in a few years, a loser!" The last time Hong Tao came to Weiqiao Town was in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, that is, at the beginning of 1085, a full ten years, and the changes here are very large, so big that people are a little afraid to recognize each other.

But this change is not for the better but in decline, and now the scale of Weiqiao Town is about the same as ten years ago, and most of the peripheral workshops and factories built before the Northern Expedition in order to increase production have been abandoned.

If you want to say that there is a surplus of steel production, you have to reduce production, but the actual situation is still 108,000 miles away from the surplus. The combined output of Weiqiao Town and Daimyo's Mansion was not enough for the entire forbidden army to change clothes, nor could it supply the pig iron production of bile copper in the whole country. Not to mention the popularization of steel farm tools in the vast rural areas, and it is a drop in the bucket to get ten Weiqiao Towns out, how can there be abandonment?

Gao Cuifeng mentioned this when he was reinstated, and after the workshop was ransomed, the imperial court really wanted to run it well, but many things could not be done well with good ideas.

The imperial court lacked professionals in this area, and it did not know how to operate and manage, and all departments that could be touched on the edge would send officials to rub off on their merits, and they were all talking about it all day long, and even if there were a few people who understood, they could not improve efficiency.

Within a few years, the production capacity of the workshop shrank several times, and the loss of craftsmen was also severe, and the staff had to be transferred from other workshops to support the façade, which backfired.

The old-fashioned craftsmen couldn't play with these equipment at all, let alone understand the new process flow, not only did they not increase the production capacity, but also broke the two blast furnaces and injured many people. The accounts of purchased raw materials and finished products are mixed by the two accounting methods, which is even more chaotic, and the phenomenon of waste and greed for ink is serious.

Seeing that the huge workshop was facing a shutdown, the imperial court had to reactivate Gao Cuifeng, but the various funds were not in place, and Gao Cuifeng was not an immortal, so he could only use the only equipment and manpower to slowly recover in the face of this situation.

Could it be that it's been almost seven years, and the promotion society has supported many skilled craftsmen, and the production of the workshop has not yet recovered? If you calculate it this way, Gao Cuifeng's management level doesn't seem to be very good.

In fact, Gao Cuifeng was about to use his strength to eat, if it weren't for the craftsmen of the promotion society and the loan provided by the Shunfeng Post Office, he would not have been able to hold out for so long.

That's right, it's true that Gao Cuifeng is the leader of Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion, but there are still many court officials around him, and he can't go all out to grasp production, and most of his energy is spent on internal fighting.

That is, he is familiar with the power of the court to barely stabilize the situation, and if Hong Tao runs it himself, there are only two results, either replace all the management teams here, or pat his ass and leave.

Anyway, Gao Cuifeng still restored the workshops in Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion to a few successes. It is basically impossible to completely restore it, and this is the essential difference between doing one thing as a business and doing one thing as a political achievement, and there is no way for two fundamentally opposed ideas to coexist.

"The adults are wrong, there is also progress, you see, hey, hey, hey......" The schadenfreude is about people like Jiang Erlang, he doesn't think that Weiqiao Town has anything to do with him at all, I wish the worse the better, and the feeling is naturally completely different.

“…… Since you're so happy, it's up to you to report it. "What is Jiang Erlang happy about? A large army village appeared in front, blocking the bridge into Weiqiao Town.

Compared with the decaying factories around it, it is much more magnificent, the walls are actually cement, more than four meters high, and there are enemy buildings at each corner. Hong Tao felt that if he went over, he would fly over a siege crossbow, and then King Liang of the Great Song Dynasty would be really cold, and it would be safest for others to negotiate in the past.

If Jiang Erlang was shot to death, he would have an excuse to set up a cannon to bomb it, so as not to poke it here to be an eyesore. The workshop area is surrounded by wooden fences, and some places are so dilapidated that any child can get through, but they spent a lot of money to build a strong military village at the bridgehead, which is really useless except for the cost of labor and money.

It's a pity that no one shot Jiang Erlang, but the forbidden army guarding didn't let him in, but had to wait for Gao Cuifeng to come. Hong Tao felt that it was a crime for the commander of the forbidden army to shoot Jiang Erlang without ordering him, but he insisted on his principles and casually allowed him to enter the military important place without seeing the official certificate, which was worthy of praise, and his merits were offset and his life was spared.

However, the capital crime is better to avoid the living crime, and this battalion of forbidden troops was requisitioned, and he went to nearby states and counties to collect military horses with his official documents, and he had to be held accountable if he failed to complete the task in three days.
