Chapter 1012: Old Fool
"Do you want the old man to come forward?" Han Zhongyan laughed, "It's not impossible, it's just that the old man's body is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how long it can last?" ”
"The old man is serious, you just feel the wind and cold......"
"Chongdao, don't talk about this." Han Zhongyan waved his hand and smiled, "Don't you know the old man's body?" Are you really an old man and a fool? So, the old man wondered if he should be happy, maybe he could get better, so that he could continue to work for the court. ”
Sure enough, it's old and confused! Wu Hao Guxin said: A character like Han Zhongyan actually believes that Chongxi can cure diseases, and he must have Alzheimer's disease. But that's okay, as long as you can play your old golden signboard.
"Big Daddy," Han Xiaoxuan, who was standing next to Han Zhongyan and pretending to be a filial son, asked, "Who do you want to let Chongxi do?" ”
"It's your third sister." The old man said with a smile.
"My ......" Han Xiaoxuan was stunned, "Big Daddy, my daughter?" ”
"yes!" Han Zhongyan said, "What, reluctantly? ”
"But, she's only four years old!"
A four-year-old girl wants to marry her great-grandfather Chongxi!? That sounds ridiculous! Wu Haogu and Ji Yi glanced at each other, both of them crying and laughing.
It seems that it is not good to let Han Zhongyan come forward and shout, and the benefits of his Alzheimer's disease are at stake.
"What's wrong with a four-year-old?" Han Zhongyan glared, "You can get engaged first, and then marry when you grow up!" Chongdao, don't you say? ”
"Yes, yes, the old minister is reasonable." Wu Haogu dealt with Han Zhongyan.
Of course, the daughter of the Han family in Xiangzhou is a fragrant sweetheart, everyone is beautiful, knowledgeable, and not ugly, and she is also the prime minister's family, which is definitely the first choice for the marriage of scholars. If it weren't for the fear that Gao would not be able to climb high, Wu Haogu would have recommended his son to Han Zhongyan as his great-grandson-in-law.
"Then let's have a baby kiss with your third child." Han Zhongyan smiled at Wu Hao.
"My third child?" Wu Haogu was stunned, this is a good thing! The third is his sister-in-law Wu Yijiu (Wu Haogu's son is not included in the family tree, but builds another family), and the daughter of the heir of the Han family in Xiangzhou is a good match, and it is a little high.
It's just that Han Zhongyan is suspected of Alzheimer's, does what he said count? Thinking of this, Wu Haogu turned his gaze to Han Xiaoxuan.
Of course, Han Xiaoxuan is willing, Wu Haogu is not only rich now, but also has a top general, and he has a very good relationship with the official Zhao Ji. In the future, it will definitely be a heavenly in-law. His daughter and the martial family's son-in-law are definitely a good match - the martial family's son-in-law can inherit most of Wu Haogu's property! His daughter will enter the martial arts family in the future, and she will definitely be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.
In addition, although the Xiangzhou Han family is noble, there are many adults in the family, and they are all a group of scholars and masters who are not good at management, and they can only study and collect rent and become officials.
It's been a bit empty these years, and it's time to make friends with the rich man Lala Wu Haogu and see if there is any way to make money? With such a big family, you can't just collect rent!
"I've seen that kid Yoshihisa, it's really good, I like it very much." Han Xiaoxuan said.
Han Zhongyan shook his head, "Yijiu? No, it's Wu Haode. ”
Wu Haogu was stunned, Han Zhongyan was really senile! How else would you choose martial arts? In this society of fighting fathers, how can Wu Haode's father be compared with Wu Yijiu's father? Wu Yijiu's father is at the moment, and he can be regarded as one of the "several famous fathers", right?
And Wu Haode is Wu Haowen's younger brother, Wu Haowen is Han Xiaoxuan's uncle, Wu Haode and Han Xiaoxuan's daughter are two generations apart! Although my uncle's younger brother is also a little farther away, it can be regardless of generation, but it is still a little embarrassing......
Not only Wu Haogu was a little dumbfounded, but even Han Xiaoxuan was a little confused. In addition to Wu Haode's seniority, what else is stronger than Wu Yijiu? In terms of bloodline, Wu Yijiu is a descendant, and his mother is also from the Pan family, and she is also from a first-class background. And Wu Haode's mother is just a concubine bought from the Qinglou, and no one in the officialdom thinks that she is Mrs. Wu's, in fact, she is a concubine.
In terms of family wealth, Wu Yijiu was born with a golden key, and it is no longer a family fortune, but a thousand thousands. What can Wu Haode have?
On Talent...... They are all little kids, who knows if they will be able to get into the Jinshi in the future?
Han Zhongyan glanced at his grandson who couldn't cry or laugh, "Xiao Guan, Chongdao, I think this matter is settled." ”
"It's all up to Daddy." Han Xiaoxuan is a virtuous grandson, of course he can't disobey his grandfather.
Wu Haogu couldn't deal with a senile dementia, so he immediately said: "This matter is still allowed for me to discuss with my father, it must be possible." ”
"Okay, that's good, hahaha." Han Zhongyan was probably really confused, obviously suffering a big loss, and laughing even more as if he had picked up something big. Then he pointed to his grandson Han Xiaoxuan, "The matter of ascending to the heights, the old man will not come out, give it to Xiao Xuan." ”
Promised!?
Wu Haogu didn't expect Han Zhongyan to be so happy, but Han Zhongyan was probably confused, and he had to see Han Xiaoxuan's reaction. Han Xiaoxuan's face is really entangled to the extreme, not to mention that the good Wu Yijiu has become a martial artist, and he has to go to the army as a regiment training leader...... It's not appropriate! He is not an old man, he will not be running for a few days anyway, and the official family will not be suspicious. I am still young, if I really hold a team training that can be played in my hands, plus the territory of Xiangzhou, won't it become the same as Gao Yu? No, it's more dangerous than Gao Yu, because Xiangzhou is much closer to Kaifeng Mansion than Lingzhou to Kaifeng Mansion!
……
At this moment, in the Yanfu Palace, the royal garden of the old imperial city, which is surrounded by the bustling market of Kaifeng Mansion, has become a huge construction site. After the completion of the Qionglin Palace project, which took nearly ten years, the comprehensive renovation project of Yanfu Palace officially began. Located in the northwest corner of the old palace, Yeonfu Palace, which occupies a radius of several miles, has now been completely bulldozed, and many places have been marked with white lines, and the foundations of the houses have begun to be excavated.
There were also some strange stones that I didn't know where to get them, which were piled up in a corner of the construction site, and there were actually two soldiers from the various classes in front of the palace who were in charge of it.
Because of Zhao Ji's arrival, all construction activities at the Yanfu Palace construction site have been suspended today. The flat land in a radius of several miles was empty, and only a corner of the piled stones could be seen.
Zhao Ji came from Qionglin Palace today with Cai You, Wu Haowen, Mi Youren, and Pan Xiao'an in a huge four-wheeled carriage. After Wu Haogu and Gao Yu were released one after another, the official Zhao Ji was the most favored of these four.
In addition, there were three Taoist priests, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Lin Lingsu, who also arrived with Zhao Ji. However, they rode horses to follow Zhao Ji's carriage, and they did not have the glory of sharing a carriage with the official family.
Although Zhao Ji is superstitious about Taoism, he still knows very well which is more important between Taoist priests and scholars.
Today, Zhao Ji came from Qionglin Palace for a three-zhang "Taihu Lake Divine Stone", in order to transport this stone into the capital, Wu Chengzhi and his deputy Zhu Mian really spent a lot of thought and money. even asked Jingdong Jijia Shipyard to specially build a stone ship and a stone ship (both designed by the Yuntai School of Ship Administration). It also uses a machine called a "tread crane" - an ancient crane brought back from the West by the Ji Yi Mission, which is said to have been invented 2,000 years ago. Using people to step on huge wheels to drive the runner and the entire machine, 12,000 pounds of weight can be lifted. The rope bolted to the boom can also be pulled by another winch to achieve the purpose of longitudinally moving the boom.
However, Wu Chengzhi's style is still much bigger than Zhu Mian in history, and he will not play hooligan without money. He will not arbitrarily transfer officials and commercial ships to affect Cao Yun - he will only order a batch of stone carriers from Jingdong Shang City and Jiehe Shang City, and organize a "Huashi Gang" ship line, which can not only transport Huashi and wood to supply various projects in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also transport porcelain, livestock, wood, iron, charcoal and other materials from the north to Jiangnan.
The profit from this is no less than that of taking advantage of it!
After making money, Wu Chengzhi built a garden for himself on the edge of Taihu Lake in Suzhou, called "Anle Fang", and also accumulated a lot of beautiful concubines, and lived a leisurely life.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Ji got down from the carriage and looked at the "Divine Stone" that he didn't know how much money it took to pull it from Taihu Lake, and his face was proud.
Only Emperor Genghis deserves such a stone, right?
"Wu Qing, your father's errand is doing well!" Zhao Ji praised a sentence, and then changed the topic, "I heard that Da Lang also found a family affair for your family San Lang?" ”
"Yes," Wu Haowen said, "she is the daughter of Han Xiaoxuan of the Han family in Xiangzhou." ”
"Daughter-in-law?"
Wu Haowen replied: "It's a concubine." ”
"That's good," Zhao Ji smiled, "Then I'll give you a matchmaker...... Guo Jing! ”
"The poor road is here." Guo Jing, who was becoming more and more like a master of Taoism, hurriedly stepped forward to obey the order.
"Go back to Xiangzhou, go to the right eight characters, and then show the Han family's daughter a face."
"Commandment." Guo Jing responded.
Zhao Ji nodded, and said to Wu Haowen, Liu Wuji, and Lin Lingsu: "Wuqing, Liu Qing, Lin Qing, the matter of Feng Taishan and Guancanghai, you three have more snacks...... As soon as the Liao soldiers retreated, I would go on a tour of the east. ”
"Minister's order."
Wu Haowen, Liu Wuji, and Lin Lingsu also received the will. Wu Haowen's dispatch is also about to change, and he is no longer the envoy of the sea route city and the governor of Cangzhou, but the transfer envoy of Jingdong Road. Zhao Ji's series of squandering activities to seal Mount Tai and watch the sea have to be taken care of by him. With this squandering, I don't know how much gold and silver money I have to take out from the household department and Taifu Temple...... While spending tens of millions of military expenses in the north, he actually wanted to seal Mount Tai, watch the sea, and throw a lot of money, this Great Song Dynasty official can really be worthy of a Fengheng Yuda!
