Chapter 362: Caged Goldfinch
If Qin Kan was in the Wenhua Hall at this moment, he would inevitably point at Li Dongyang's nose and scold.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't see anything abnormal, but let the old fox find out that something was wrong.
Can't underestimate the IQ of the ancients, especially Li Dongyang, who is famous for his good strategy, since Qin Kan entered Beijing, every big conspiracy and small trick can't hide from him, out of respect for the old man, Qin Kan is not too embarrassed to deal with him, so he has to secretly pray that Scholar Li's Alzheimer's disease will come early when he thinks of him.
…………
…………
There was a strange smell in the Jingshi, and several people who had fallen into Qin Kan's conspiracy and calculations were unaware that they were still living a dull life as usual.
Dongchang Dai Yi boarded the door of Qin's mansion in the afternoon, and poured bitter water on Qin Kan with a drooping face.
In addition to the Dongchang factory, Dai Yi is also the master of ceremonies and the pen, but he, the eunuch of the pen, is obviously having a very difficult time in the ceremonial supervisor, and he is not as good as calling for wind and rain in the East Factory.
Everyone in the palace knows that the backer behind Dai Yi is Qin Kan, Liu Jin naturally doesn't have a good face for him, he is excluded and neglected, he reprimands and scolds at every turn, Liu Jin is powerful, Dai Yi doesn't dare to fight back, and he has suffered a lot of grievances these days.
In the past few days, because of the rescue of Ren Liangbi, Liu Jin was praised by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and consciously became a messenger of justice, and he became more and more disgraced to traitors like Qin Kan and Dai Yi.
Facing Dai Yi's cry with tears and snot, Qin Kan was calm. He comforted him with a smile and expressed slight disdain for Dai Yi's short-sighted gaze.
I can't stand a few words of reprimand and scolding, and when Liu Jin kills the Quartet with a butcher knife in his hand in the future, won't Dai Yi be scared into a nervous disorder?
persuaded Dai Yi away, Qin Kan took a walk in his backyard, thinking about the mass production of the Franco cannon.
Liu Jin really lived up to expectations, and really ordered the mass production of the manufacturing bureau, and the inner treasury allocated silver, and the treasury allocated iron, and the implementation was very strong. It's rare.
Ancient and modern. There are countless people who have been deceived, and some people cannot understand what they can see at a glance as a deception, but those who have been deceived are obsessed. Paying the price again and again that is impossible to get in return?
In fact. Everyone has been deceived. No one is in a position to laugh at someone else's stupidity.
Just because the victims targeted by the scam are different, some people are sober and some are addicted.
In a nutshell, it's just the difference between inside and outside. People who watch chess are always sober. Not necessarily for those who play chess.
So Liu Jin was fooled, but Li Dongyang saw through it.
I have to say that Qin Kan's deception against Liu Jin was successful, Liu Jin was very cooperative, the Francorang cannon began to be mass-produced, and Qin Kan used another roundabout way to achieve his goal.
Carefully set up this bureau, mass production of the Fran cannon is only one of the purposes, and there is another purpose that has not been achieved.
Qin Kan has a lot of things he wants to do in the future, these things may seem deviant in the eyes of outsiders, and they will inevitably add many obstacles to him, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, is too rigid and conservative, since he has done it this time, he must be kicked away from the position of the secretary of the military department.
It has nothing to do with good people and bad people, it has nothing to do with justice and evil, Qin Kan hates trouble, in order not to cause trouble for himself in the future, he can only get Liu Daxia into trouble now.
Immersed in his thoughts, Qin Kan unconsciously walked to the water pavilion in his backyard.
If the big pond surrounds the water pavilion, it is as unique as a small island in the lake, when she bought this house, Du Yan was very satisfied with this water pavilion, and deliberately flipped through the book for a long time, wanting to give the water pavilion an elegant and refined name, which was stopped by Qin Kan in time.
The water pavilion is the water pavilion, the name is elegant, it is only a pavilion for people to enjoy the cool scenery, it is very good, if you must take the name, it is called "Qin's water pavilion", easy to understand, you will know who is its legal owner when you hear it.
In the winter pond, the water surface is about to freeze, the cold wind whistles over the empty pond, the green lotus leaves in summer have long withered, and the withered yellow leaves hang softly under the water surface, a bleak scene of silence.
Qin Kan stopped his steps and was about to walk back, but he heard a low and desolate tune not far away, and his delicate and beautiful voice sang a ballad he didn't understand, and the sadness and sorrow in the song could not be concealed.
Qin Kan walked steadily, turned his head to look into the water pavilion, and saw a Tana in the pavilion dressed in red and with countless black hair in pigtails staring at the water surface stupidly, softly singing the ballad of the Mongolian steppe in his mouth, and his lonely and lonely expression made Qin Kan feel a pain in his heart.
The bold woman on the grassland who let her horse run wild and killed the enemy with a knife is now like a canary in a cage, faintly telling her yearning for freedom, this girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old has become unhappy since she entered the Qin Mansion.
Pursing his lips, Qin Kan strode towards the water pavilion.
As the footsteps got closer, Tana's singing also stopped abruptly, and the sad and lonely eyes revealed when she was alone flashed away, seeing Qin Kan approaching, Tana quietly clenched her fists, looking ready to fight Qin Kan at any time.
Qin Kan smiled.
It was probably only when facing him that the withering flower would bloom and grin at him like a lioness threatened with her territory.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Aren't you used to the life of Daming? Qin Kan asked softly.
After making sure that the dog official in front of him was rare to see without a poisonous tongue today, Tana's tense appearance gradually eased.
pursed his lips slightly, with a bit of deliberate arrogance and disdain in his grievances.
"You Ming people don't like me." The corners of Tana's mouth twitched aggrievedly, as if she felt that she had weakened her voice, and quickly added: "I don't like you either." ”
Qin Kan smiled: "Someone in the house bullied you? ”
"Whoever dares to bully me, my whip will make him regret being born in this world!"
As soon as she raised her head after speaking, and saw Qin Kan's smiling and shining eyes, Tana lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice: "Are you Daming so indifferent to guests?" The courtyard that your wife gave me is not seen on weekdays, and only when it is time to eat, the maid brings me a food box. The maid put down the food box and left, without saying a word to me, we Mongolians will hug the horse's neck and talk to them affectionately even when feeding the horses, is it that in the eyes of your wife and subordinates, I am not even as good as a horse? ”
Qin Kan frowned, it seems that Tana's personality is not very pleasing, Du Yan looks at her unpleasantly, there is something evil at the top, and there will be attachment at the bottom, Mrs. Hou has an indifferent attitude towards her. Naturally, the people would not be too polite to her. So poor Tana was isolated in the Hou Mansion.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately to explain to my subordinates and ignore you. I apologize to you. ”
Qin Kandao apologized very simply. He didn't have the idea of a big man who couldn't pull his face. Wrong is wrong, and taking responsibility for mistakes is what men do.
Qin Kan's apology obviously made Tana's mood much better, and her eyebrows gradually curved into a crescent moon. It's rare to see her laugh, but she laughs cutely.
"The minds of the prairie people are wider than the sea, well, I don't blame you." Tana is worthy of being a child of the grassland, and she was quickly relieved.
"Tana, I can see that you miss your hometown, in fact, you don't have to care about your father's so-called marriage at all, whether you marry me or not, the alliance between Daming and Duoyan will not change, the interests between Daming and Duoyan tribes are at stake, the role of marriage is very small, from ancient times to the present, women can only be victims, and no woman has the ability to maintain the good and evil of the relationship between the two interest groups."
Tana shook her head: "I can't go back, you won't know how hard we have been in Duoyan over the years, now that the Ming Court has opened up the mutual market to us, the Duoyan tribe has found a ray of light in the dark, and I, carrying not only the hope of Zhige, but also the hope of the entire tribe, in their eyes, I am already the daughter of the married daughter, is the bond between the Ming Court and Duoyan, and you Han people, it is a great shame for the married daughter to be sent back to her mother's home, if I return to the tribe, they will think that the covenant has twists and turns, The whole tribe will be upset. ”
"I know that the Ming Court is attacked everywhere, uneasy inside and outside, our Duoyan is actually not much better, in order to let the people of the tribe survive, we have to sway and repeat among the strong enemies on three sides, all this is just to let the people in the tribe eat one more bite of food, and live one more person every winter, Qin Hou Ye, you are a scholar, please tell me, a tribe in order to survive, in order to survive, it is forced to be capricious, is this wrong?"
Qin Kan was speechless.
Is it wrong? Who would dare to say wrong? Compared with those civil officials in the court who are upright and gentlemen during the day and male thieves and prostitutes at night, what is the difference between them and Duoyan? The difference is that one has done enough superficial work, and the other has neglected superficial work.
Qin Kan took a deep breath and sighed: "You are right, what is wrong is the current situation in the world, Tana, you are a good girl, if you don't want to go back to the grassland, I won't force you, live in the Hou Mansion from now on, I promise, the people of the Hou Mansion will never be indifferent to you again......
Tana blinked and said, "The subordinates are not indifferent, what about your wife?" ”
Qin Kan suddenly felt a little headache.
"Madame...... I can't control my wife, so let's do it, don't you prairies advocate talking with your fists and feet? ”
Tana's eyes lit up: "You mean, I don't like your wife, can I kill her?" ”
Qin Kan Khan: "No, don't be so wild, it's better than fists and feet, no weapons are allowed, let alone sneak attacks, remember, weapons are strictly prohibited!" ”
Tana's gaze suddenly became very disappointed: "What's the point of comparing punches and kicks?" ”
The meaning is that whoever knocks him down will win, she will have the right to speak, and she will have to listen to her whether she is convinced or not. Agreed? ”
Tana seemed to have found the meaning of life, and nodded excitedly: "Agreed,...... The rope is not a weapon, can I strangle your wife? ”
***************************************************************
The sun is setting and the night is falling.
When the lanterns in front of the big family were lit one by one, a captain in brocade clothes entered the mansion of the Marquis of Shanyin, and after the tea time, Qin Kan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, hurriedly went out under the guards, got into the carriage into the city, and left without saying a word.
East of Jingshi City, Fubin Restaurant.
The furnishings in the Fubin Building are not as luxurious as those in the other restaurants in Beijing, only three stories high, and there are simply inconspicuous tables and chairs inside, which look extremely ordinary, as if it is a simple restaurant specially opened for those inferior people such as coachmen and pawns.
However, the officials in the capital are very clear that this restaurant is by no means affordable for the coachmen and peddlers. Two years ago, after the shopkeeper of the restaurant hired a chef from Shandong to take charge of the cook, the business of the restaurant suddenly exploded, to the point that the supply exceeded the demand. Business is good, the price is naturally expensive, the price of the dishes made by the chef himself is even more ridiculously expensive, because the taste is indeed authentic, it has also attracted many officials from Beijing to come, in front of a simple table, the officials of three or two votes order a few dishes, and the two pots of hot flower carvings are quite fun in life.
The reputation spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and Fubin Lou gradually became the restaurant that the officials of Beijing went to the most, which drove the fashion of Beijing for a while. The shopkeeper of the restaurant, who was smiling from ear to ear, had a whimsical idea last year, closed for nearly a month, and renovated the entire restaurant, decorating the whole restaurant from the inside to the outside, and decorating it with flowers, magnificent, as beautiful as being in heaven.
Who knew that after the decoration, none of the officials of the Beijing Division came again, and the business was simply bleak and bleak.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was in a hurry, thinking that he had offended the big man, so he asked the money to ask around, and finally understood the reason for the sharp decline in business.
The reason is simple, officials used to come here often because they liked the taste of the restaurant and the simple decoration.
Beijing officials have money, every year local officials enter Beijing, all ministries and departments up and down a little filial piety, summer ice respect, winter charcoal respect, a year adds up to a huge amount, who cares about the meager money issued by the imperial court? Jingguan has money, but money can't be spent in the open, who dares to carry the silver in a big way to visit the kiln, eat a big meal, and spend money like flowing water, this person is not far from bad luck.
Not to mention the brocade guards hidden in every corner of the Beijing Division, the eyeliner secret agents of the East Factory and the West Factory, just because the imperial historian in the court is ruthlessly involved in you, you can't eat and walk around, and the official dares to be so chic, and the price paid is very heavy.
Therefore, when the Fubin Building is poorly decorated, the officials are happy to come, and once the decoration is as luxurious as heaven and earth, the officials must hide far away, and no one is willing to bury a good future for the sake of a feast.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant is a bold guy, after knowing the internal cause, he gritted his teeth and smashed all the restaurants that had just been decorated, closed for a few days and reopened, and the inside returned to its old dilapidated appearance.
It is ridiculous to say that after the restaurant was restored to its dilapidation, business really boomed again, and officials who had not been seen for a long time came to the door one after another, pushing glasses and changing lamps.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to scold these guys for being cheap bones, but they didn't have the courage to be so bold after all.
Tonight's Fubin Building has a distinguished guest.
Just arrived at the time of the palm lamp, a two-person carried ordinary blue nickname official sedan chair quietly stopped in front of the restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that there was an official sedan chair, hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guests with a smile, just about to open the sedan curtain attentively, but stretched out his hand but was pushed far away by the samurai dressed in casual clothes next to the sedan chair.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a calm and experienced old man with a white face and no beard walked out slowly.
