At sunset, Zhang Sanniang and Lin Suniang sat together and chatted, looking forward to squatting under the tree alone and not knowing what they were looking at. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu is holding a teacup, smiling and looking at Panpan on the side.

Seeing Xu Ping go home, Pan Pan ran over like a flyer and asked, "Daddy, are we going back to the countryside tomorrow?" It's not fun in the capital, I want to go back! ”

Xu Ping took Panpan's hand, looked at Lin Suniang with a big belly, and said to Panpan: "Okay, tomorrow our family will go back to the countryside, and it will be quiet." ”

As he spoke, he took the newly bought cherries to Panpan: "Take them and let people wash them, and eat them when they come back." ”

Panpan cheered, carried the small basket, and ran away.

At Panpan's current age, it is the time to be able to run and play, Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang are both struggling to look at her. When Lin Wensi was an official outside, he remarried another wife and became pregnant. This year, compared to this year, there were many fewer students in the Guozi Prison after the imperial examination, so Lin Wensi asked for leave and went to Xu Ping's manor in Zhongmu with his wife to raise a baby with peace of mind. Lin Suniang went back with Xu Zheng and his wife, someone accompanied him to talk, and many people took care of Panpan.

His brother-in-law is much younger than his daughter, and Xu Ping feels weird when he thinks about it. However, this kind of thing is very common in this era, it is normal for a man to import Ding at the age of sixty or seventy, not to mention that Lin Wensi's age is not very old.

Watching Panpan run away, Xu Zheng touched his beard and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang, two days ago, I moved another official, saying that what Guangbei siege made artillery according to your method, and your additional official was awarded back to my head." If I continue to add it like this, maybe I can still be an outsider. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "It's not just a foreigner, I'll do a few more things to let Daddy be promoted to Langzhong!" ”

Xu Zheng just laughed, the average Nasu supplement official can't move a few ranks of officials in his life, but he is not slow to be promoted by relying on his son. Now Xu Ping's own official has reached the end of the orderly relocation, and if he has the opportunity to be promoted in the future, he can only give it back to Xu Zheng. According to this momentum, it is really possible for him to rise to Langzhong, be with a group of old brothers, and his face will also shine.

Since Xu Ping returned to the capital, he transported the artillery used in Yongzhou back to Beijing, and imitated it as it was. Xu didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, and it took a year to prepare for the siege of the city before he could be regarded as making a good job of craftsmanship and making a large iron cannon. This speed is also thanks to the iron yard built outside the city after the Qiaodaoxiang army entered Beijing, which supplied high-quality steel.

In the Northwest War, the Song army was mostly attacked in the field battles, which was fundamentally different from when Hebei faced the Khitan. Even with the artillery to defend the city, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the situation of the war, and Xu Ping has no intentions. The current situation is that the Khitan does not have the ability to attack south, and there is no urgent need for this weapon to defend the city. In fact, the siege ability of the party was worse than that of the Khitan, and the advantage of artillery could not be brought into play.

And if you want the current forbidden army to be incorporated into field artillery, Xu Ping shook his head when he thought about it. The most likely consequence of that would be that once a war broke out in the northwest, these artillery pieces would fall into the hands of the party members, which would give them the ability to attack the city.

Thinking about it, unless you go to the northwest by yourself, you should let Guangbei attack the city and make a few big artillery pieces, and it will be more stable to settle in Bianjing. How to cooperate with the field troops, it is better to slowly grope for it.

Whether it is compared with the party or the Khitan, the equipment of the Song army, especially the forbidden army, is not bad, and the root of the defeat is not in the weapons and equipment, but the reason is still from the military system. Xu Ping doesn't care about the military now, and he doesn't worry about that.

Panpan found the maid to wash the cherry casserole, came back with the basket in a swaying manner, and came to Xu Ping's father and son, holding the basket and saying to Xu Zheng: "Weng Weng, the cherries are sweet, you eat them first." ”

Xu Zheng took one with a smile and said in his mouth: "Panpan eat, your father bought it for you." ”

Panpan chuckled: "What I bought for me is mine, I'll give it to Weng Weng first, and then to my mother-in-law and mother." ”

After speaking, he grimaced at Xu Ping, jumped up and down with a small basket, and went to Zhang Sanniang and Lin Suniang like a treasure.

Looking at Panpan, Xu Ping and Xu Zheng were all smiling. It is not easy to raise a child, and it is a blessing to be able to raise a smart and sensible child, and now Panpan makes Xu Ping feel that it is his blessing.

Not long after a while, Panpan turned back with a small basket and held it to Xu Ping: "Give it to Daddy, and the last thing is to eat Panpan." I'm the youngest in the family, and I eat last. ”

Xu Ping took a cherry in his mouth and touched Panpan's head.

Seeing Panpan carrying a small basket alone, sitting aside and eating cherries happily, Xu Zheng's face was full of love.

After watching it for a while, he suddenly remembered that Xu Zheng said to Xu Ping: "By the way, Da Lang, someone sent you a letter from Yongzhou, I put it away, and I forgot it for a while." ”

After speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping opened the letter and took it out to look at it, but he didn't expect it to be written by Tan Hu and Huang Jinbiao.

Huang Jinbiao's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he wants to go to the capital to see if there is a chance and ask Xu Ping's opinion. Tan Hu is a Zhizhai in Yonglang Road, feeling that there is no future, and hopes that Xu Ping will help him move, either transfer to the mainland, or transfer back to his hometown Fujian Road.

Unlike Zhang Rong and others, Tan Hu has no experience in fighting on the front line, and has always followed Xu Ping. Although he also has merit and has been promoted, the future is very uncertain. If you are satisfied with being a petty official all the time, it is just that, but there are still many sparsely populated places on Yonglang Road, and the small villages are often in poor places with bad mountains and bad waters, Tan Hu is a little unwilling.

Xu Ping thought for a while and silently put the letter away.

Huang Jinbiao is not a shrewd businessman, his greatest ability is to be bold, and he dares to do what others dare not do, which is the biggest capital for him to make a fortune. In the past, Xu Ping often took care of him when he was there, and the more money he made, the more he made money, but now Fan Yan is there in Yong Langlu, but there are not so many opportunities for him.

Seeing that Xu Ping didn't speak after reading the letter, Xu Zheng asked with concern: "What's the matter, Da Lang has encountered a difficult situation?" ”

Xu Ping smiled at his father: "No, it's just a letter of greeting from the old man in Yongzhou." ”

Since Huang Jinbiao was bold enough, Xu Ping decided to give him another chance. Wang Bin got in touch with Goryeo's own family and promised to open a trade route with Song, so he asked Huang Jinbiao to toss around.

As for Tan Hu, Xu Ping decided to find a way to transfer him to the capital. He is familiar with his side, and there is a tacit understanding between the two, and now none of the entourages around him can compare to him.

Tan Hu, a low-level military attaché, can be a Zhizhai in Lingnan, where the emperor is far away, and when he returns to the capital, he is nothing, and only following Xu Ping is the best way out. (To be continued.) )
