Murong forgot his worries and gave the first place in the original Duting Xiyi, on the edge of the current Xiping Palace, the area is not small, almost the same as the ancient mansion of Wu Hao. It's just that the yard, the house, the garden, and even the layout of the house always exude a dilapidated and outdated atmosphere, and I don't know how many years it hasn't been properly repaired?

Because the house was too old, and Murong Wangwu came alone with Wuhao Gunan, he couldn't live in so many houses, so he just let people sort out a small cross-courtyard residence.

In the courtyard where Mr. Murong lived, there was a big man lying on the bed in a side room at the moment, snoring loudly, it was Brother Zhao Zhong. He drank too much liquor at noon today, and was drunk and helped back by the arhat maid, and fell asleep when he entered the house, and he didn't wake up until now.

And Mr. Murong was dressed in Confucian clothes, and he was dressed as a businessman, and the old man with a little rickety on his back, with a group of people dressed as domestic servants, walked into his house with a smile, and said loudly to the old man as he walked: "Okay, just give it according to what you want, as long as they do things well." ”

"Then the little old man is grateful to the officials." The old merchant nodded in thanks, followed by a violent cough.

After entering the courtyard, as soon as the gate was closed, the old man Murong hurriedly helped the old merchant up, "Yun Peng, why did you come here in person if you were not in good health?" ”

The old man known as "Yunpeng" is Ximen Qing's grandfather Ximen He, and Yunpeng is his name. He even went to Kaifeng Mansion and entered Murong Forget's Gift. However, it was obviously not in a public identity, but as a "human tooth", and brought a group of children of the Ximen family and the Murong family to come.

These sons of the Ximen and Murong families are nominally Murong Wang's domestic servants who are here to take care of this house. And the day before they arrived, Old Man Murong had already sent a few temporarily hired servants home.

"Alas, Qing'er is really ...... this time" Ximen He sighed, "She can't come, so I have to come by myself." ”

"It's worth it," Murong said with a smile, "Wu Dalang is a good person and rich...... And he is very strategic, without him, I wouldn't be the official I am now. When the Privy Council Military Academy Department opens, I will give you a military attaché and a few students, and there will always be officials to do it in the future. ”

When Old Chai went to Ximen's house to propose marriage for Wu Haogu, he didn't know that Murong Wuwu could become a middle doctor from the fourth grade-this is really happiness coming too fast! Originally, the three generations of the Ximen family couldn't hold back a single official, but now Wu Haogu can be promoted, and Murong can also be promoted, and three or four officials are in hand at once.

Not to mention, Ximenqing's "sacrifice" is still worth it!

"And Qing'er didn't sacrifice her hue for a few officials of our two families," Murong Wangwu and Ximen He said as they walked, "She sacrificed for the millions of Yanyun Han'er who were oppressed by Khitan beasts and lived in a dark hell!" She's ...... For the country and the people! ”

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people! That is to say, a woman like Ximen Qing...... Well, as a matter for the country and the people, you don't have to kill dirty officials like Wu Haogu.

Accompanying the big dirty officer to bed, sometimes he can also serve the country and the people. At least now a lot of progress has been made in restoring Yanyun's career! And Ximenqing's contribution is undeniable.

"In the 'Pingyan Nine Strategies'," Old Man Murong continued, "the Jiehe Merchant Market is very important, and it seems that Wu Dalang will be able to take charge of the Jiehe Merchant Market for a while...... Therefore, you and I have to take advantage of this opportunity to take root in the Jiehe Commercial Market. ”

Don't look at the fact that Old Man Murong is now a civil official from the fourth grade, or from the Privy Council Military Science Department, it looks quite big, but in fact, he also knows that he can't hold too much real power - when he supports the situation of the Privy Council Military Science Department, it is time to move the nest.

And it is difficult to say when the Jiehe Shang City of Wuhao Gu can be mastered, maybe it can be controlled in ten or twenty years. Don't look at it as just an official and a businessman, but in fact, the wealth and power that can be controlled are greater than those of the privy councillor!

What's more, Jiehe Shang City does not have the Privy Council, as long as Wu Haogu can gain the emperor's trust, he can always manage the emperor's money bag there as a close minister.

As he was talking, Murong Wangwu pushed open a hidden moon door, and with a creak, Brother Zhao Zhong, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up. As soon as he woke up, he subconsciously reached out to grab the straight knife that he always rested under the pillow, but he grabbed it empty.

"It's the old man!" Murong Forget let out a low voice, "Brother Zhong'er, come out and meet Yun Weng." ”

Brother Zhao Zhong pushed the door of the wing room where he was sleeping, and arched his hand at the Ximen crane outside the door: "Yun Weng, has it always been good?" ”

Ximen He smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I can't die for a while." ”

Murong Wangwu waved to Brother Zhong'er, and then entered the hall with Ximen He, and Brother Zhao Zhong also followed. The three of them were not polite, and each found a chair and sat down.

"Yuanyi, how is Wu Dalang going to arrange Qing'er?" Ximen Crane first asked about his granddaughter's future.

"Concubine." Zhao Zhongge said, "It's a bit of a loss." However, the seat in the main room is not without a chance, as long as the gods don't know, the ghosts will give some medicine unconsciously...... Hehe, it's not difficult for the eldest sister, right? ”

Ximen Qing is a doctor! Naturally, it will be poisoned...... Brother Zhao Zhong's thinking is Yanyun clan-style, and people in the clan often die for the battle between their concubines! In his opinion, it is very likely that Ximen Qing will charm Wu Haogu, poison Pan Qiaolian, seize the throne of the main room, and let his son inherit the position of patriarch by the way.

Ximen He shook his head with a wry smile, "There is no need for Da Song here...... Maybe it's a sisterhood. It's nothing more than a name, if you can have deep sisterhood and work together, it's also a good story, and it's easy to say it on the rivers and lakes. ”

Brother Zhao Zhong sneered, "That's your family's business, I won't talk much." By the way, teacher, what official position are you going to give me? ”

"Let's be a doctor of military science first." Murong forgot to worry and said, "You have led soldiers, and you also know how the Khitans fight...... Let's see if we can come up with a suitable style of play for Song Jun? ”

Old man Murong was still very serious about the dispatch sent to him by the Great Song Dynasty. Because in his opinion, no matter how good the plan is, in the final analysis, it needs an army that can fight to carry it out!

If the Great Song Dynasty wants to restore Yanyun, 50,000 elite soldiers must be there no matter what. Troop training cannot be done behind closed doors, it must be targeted, and it is necessary to know oneself and the enemy. Therefore, the most suitable position for Brother Zhao Zhong is to go to the Privy Council as a doctor.

"Okay, so be it." Brother Zhao Zhong smiled and nodded.

……

"You still have a concubine?"

"Yes, it's that Simon Qing...... Daddy, you should have seen that she was dressed as a man, right? ”

"Hehe, you really have a way to ......"

At this time, Wu Haogu had returned to his own mansion, talking to his father Wu Chengzhi proudly.

This time, it's really one in hand! Oh, there are a few alternates, one Mo Niangzi, one Du Wenyu, and the golden haired girl Luohan is also good...... It seems that the feudal system of the Great Song Dynasty also has superior aspects!

"Ximen Qing already has a child in her belly," Wu Haogu said to his father with a smile, "After drinking Duanwang's wedding wine in three days, I will get up and go to Yanggu County to pick her up, so that the child can marry her and the eighteenth sister in July at the latest." ”

Duanwang Zhao Ji's wedding wine must be drunk, this is an opportunity to further deepen friendship!

And Wu Haogu drank Zhao Ji's wedding wine, and when he got married in July, he was able to invite Zhao Ji here, how much face is this?

Wu Chengzhi laughed: "Haha, then the old man will be able to be a grandfather next year?" ”

"That's right," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Grandfather......

Wu Cheng said: "Then I have to go to Yanggu County with you, and I have to bring a few female envoys to serve her." ”

"You're going with me? Kaifeng Mansion is here to ask the second brother to take care of it? ”

"There's your little lady." Wu Chengdao, "How can your second brother be free?" He works hard every day, if he can go to high school, then the martial arts family will be three joys. ”

Wu Haogu's younger brother, Wu Haowen, has been studying in Taixue these days, living a life of ignoring things outside the window. Moreover, Wu Haogu also gave him the "Imperial Examination Cheats" he got from Cai Jing, maybe he could really win one.

"You're not going to try your luck?" Wu Chengzhi asked with a smile.

"I'm not going." Wu Haogu shook his head, "It's too late for the third year of Yuanfu...... When this is done, it's time to build a lighthouse city. That's a big deal, and it's in a hurry! In Kaifeng Mansion, there is another stall that has to be cooked, which is really busy. ”

However, Lighthouse City is still a top priority and must be promoted as soon as possible!

Because Zhao Xu, the emperor who supports Lighthouse City, may only have a few months left to live! Wu Haogu is a living person who can often see Zhao Xu, and naturally knows that he is suffering from a terrible disease, and he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of history. And as soon as Zhao Xu dies, although Zhao Ji, who has a good relationship with him, will become an official. However, the alternation of power, the counteroffensive of the old party, the internal struggle of the new party, the resignation of Zhang Dun, and so on, will definitely happen one by one.

When the time comes, the inside and outside of the imperial court will be chaotic, where will there be spare energy to promote the construction of Lighthouse City? If it is to be delayed until Zhao Ji completely controls the situation, I don't know when?

So these few months are the key, as long as an agreement can be reached with the Liao State and the construction officially begins, then there will be no changes in the next few years. After all, no one wants to tear up the agreement with Liao...... Especially during the critical period of infighting in the imperial court.

And speeding up the preparation for the construction of Lighthouse City is also the reason why Wu Haogu wants to go to Yanggu County in person. The Ximen family can lead the Great Liao Kingdom with one hand! I have to send a message to Ma Zhi quickly, telling him to find a way to promote it, and maybe send another few thousand taels of gold to the event funds.

In short, every second counts!
