680 Third Forces

The kebab disappeared between the four lips, almost every piece of meat had to be shared by two people, and the woman's teeth were not only white but also very sharp, and the piece of meat could be bitten into two pieces with a single click, and then sent to the man's mouth with the tip of the tongue.

Hong Tao also reciprocated, blocking the woman's lips with a sip of strong wine and drinking it together. When the meat was gone, the wine was sufficient, and the clothes that had not been put on were gone, the two of them sat together in front of the fire, ignoring the heat, and continued the rematch.

This time the battle lasted longer, and Terry was defeated. Hong Tao found a trick, using a sitting position to control the amplitude and strength of her attacks, and after dragging into a war of attrition, this woman is just as violent as her temper, violent but not long-lasting.

"Will you come back when I have a baby?" Attached to the man's chest and waking up from a trance, Terry tasted the taste of detachment for the first time, mostly happiness and sweetness, with only a hint of regret. Because this man doesn't belong to him completely, he will have to leave sooner or later.

“…… You don't want to keep me for a few more days? Hong Tao didn't expect this topic to be raised by a woman first, as if he wasn't too nostalgic.

"Khitan women never tie men to felt accounts, we like the eagles in the sky. You are my eagle, destined to fly. It's not that there is no nostalgia, but another kind of nostalgia, Terry held Hong Tao's face and pecked and pecked on it.

"Would you like to create a family business for our children here? No matter how much the eagle can fly, it will have to return home, and it can't be left without nothing when the time comes. ”

The most difficult thing to talk about was solved so easily, which caught Hong Tao a little off guard. Differences in culture and habits can indeed shape different people and different thoughts, so he suddenly had an idea, and the more he thought about it, the more suitable it was for Terry.

"Aren't you worried about Chenniang? She loves you very much, and General Chiang is also very loyal to you......" After listening to her husband's future plans for Jeju Island, Princess Terry didn't understand.

The island is already completely under her husband's control, so why should she let herself rein in the people and mix it up? There is no benefit in doing this, and there is still a great danger, once Chen Niang and Jiang Erlang realize their husband's intentions, maybe they don't want to rebel, and then they and their children will not be more dangerous?

"Chen Niang and Erlang will not oppose me, but they still have their own ethnic groups behind them, and there will always be conflicts after a long time. Governing the country and interacting with individuals is different, and it is necessary to balance the forces of all parties at all times in order to be more stable. For example, if this stool has only two legs, it will not be able to stand steadily, and it will be very stable if it becomes three legs that are about the same length? ”

Hong Tao wanted Princess Terry to gather some clansmen on the island, and then get back some of the captives that Wang Hao had captured and sold in the Great Song Dynasty, and turn them into a third-party force. In this way, there are three main ethnic groups on Jeju Island: Jews, the New Army, and the Khitans.

It is not to let them fight each other, but to avoid a situation where one ethnic group has the final say, and at the same time, to avoid the possibility of Jeju Island getting out of their control prematurely. No matter which side wants to occupy more of the voice, they need to help themselves.

At first glance, this seems to be a bit selfish and immoral, as if even the daughter and daughter-in-law and the old subordinates do not trust, and deliberately let them fight among themselves, but in fact, they are protecting them in the long run.

If they have already torn their faces and have to separate them from life and death, they also have to pick sides, who will be suitable to help at that time? Whoever you help will offend the other two, and it is not an ordinary offense, and you will become a mortal enemy.

“…… You're the bad guy! "Princess Terry must not be able to understand Hong Tao's thoughts, and in her opinion, people who are always thinking about people must not be good, such as her husband.

"Tsk! Talking back again? Don't think that if you're a princess, I won't dare to punish you, I'll let you taste my power today, and see if you dare in the future! ”

It's so hard to explain all these things to Princess Terry, and it's not something that can be understood in a day or two. It's better to use brute force, and if you don't obey, you will be punished.

This trick is better for Terry than for Lian'er, she has a subconscious in her bones that she admires the strong, and the stronger the man, the more obedient he is.

"Don't, I don't want to go into the water...... I'm obedient, obedient ......" How do you punish Terry? The spanking is too vulgar, and she is not too afraid of pain, and she can't tell who will beat whom when she is in a hurry.

But there was one thing she feared the most, water! When she was in the Daimyo's Mansion, the princess dared to go on the big boat, but she didn't dare to swim. Thigh-deep water can make her lose her balance, screaming like a pig, her arms and legs won't move, and she will wait for death while drinking water.

There is a large area of clear water in front of you, and swimming is not allowed here in the future, so now is the right time to go down and try it. Not only did I try it myself, but I also had to go into the water with Terry in my arms.

Hong Tao stayed at the top of Halla Mountain for three days, and no one came up to disturb him, except for the occasional New Army soldier who brought the natives up to carry some timber to build a big house for Terry.

This pair of dog men and women slept until they woke up naturally every day, and they fought hand-to-hand before washing, tossing hungry barbecue and canned food to eat casually, and then tossing when they were full.

Grass, rocks, and lakes are all their battlefields, and they will not stop as long as they still have the strength. If you are tired, you can fall down at any time and say that you will sleep when you are wrapped in animal skins, and although the temperature on the top of the mountain is not high, it will not freeze bad people in the middle of summer.

Three days later, Hong Tao came down the mountain, and Terry just stood in front of the cabin and waved at her back, without shedding tears or reluctance. Her husband said that one of so many tadpoles will survive, so she no longer thinks about the suffering of separation, but wants to prepare for the birth of a child.

For example, build your own big palace, arrange Khitan captives on the island, and then think about how you and your children will live in the future. Men, they will come back when they are tired of flying, Khitan women have been like this for generations, there is nothing to be uncomfortable about.

In mid-August, the two Huai envoys who went out to inspect the water situation returned to Yangzi Town, as for where to inspect and what results were obtained, can you manage it? Who would have dared to make the yamen inquire about irrelevant people?

However, Hong Tao was very disciplined and wrote an inspection report on the Yangtze River, sprinkled tens of thousands of words, and detailed data matching. In duplicate, he submitted it to the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Water Supervision Department, which was his first work report since taking office.

Believe it or not is a matter for the court, believe it or not, his goal has been achieved. The secret letter of the expensive Tianfu calendar was placed on the desk, and it said that the gold brocade needed by King Liang was already in stock, two horses, and if you wanted it, you would quickly send someone to send the money over.

What do you mean, it's very simple, the two things I entrusted to Queen Pang have eyebrows, according to Lian'er, who went to Yingtianfu to get Jin Jin, came back and relayed it, Shen Kuo will soon be transferred to Lianghuai to continue to be the warehouse secretary.

In this way, there is no need for others to dictate matters related to the construction of rivers and bridges. The river repair envoy and the Kuraji were combined, and all the formalities were completed except for the imperial court appropriation.

It seems that the imperial court also has a headache for Huaishui to have a flood if it is fine, since Shen Kuo has repaired the river embankment well in the Daimyo's Mansion, and King Liang has spare money, so simply let these two pieces of material that are not welcome anywhere get together to repair the river embankment, no matter how bad it is, it will not be repaired.

Since the imperial court did not plan to allocate funds and wanted to repair the river embankment, the forests on the Hebei Road were also allowed to be cut down, and the wages and freight were all set by the two Huai to make their own way, and the cut down trees were used to offset the appropriation for repairing the river.

Saving money and doing things, it is estimated that the emperor and courtiers laughed. This can be regarded as a ruthless pit for King Liang, making you the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and see how many days you can lose!

But there are also things that are not very worry-free, there is a thief in the family, and after the two gold brocades are brought back, they are only five feet less than one night. It's not a deliberate count, the eldest princess handed over the gold brocade to Granny Liu, and asked her to make a cheongsam for all the women in the family, and Fu Ji left the fabric when she was not at home.

As a result, Granny Liu used a ruler to measure it, and she was immediately scared, and there was less fabric! She understands very well what this kind of fabric is, and there is no place to buy it if she has money, and it is a big sin.

The eldest princess didn't suspect Granny Liu after learning that there was less fabric, she couldn't have the guts, and she couldn't sell it if she took it. Instead, he called several concubines together to find out who took it, how much money was a trivial matter, and this kind of behavior could not be tolerated, which was insulting to the family style.

"You don't have to leave it for Fu Ji first, and then you will make up for it in the future, what is a thief or not, don't say it so ugly." Before the investigation began, Hong Tao intervened, stopped the eldest princess who was making a big move, and suppressed the matter lightly.
