Qi Shan seemed to find his words unconvincing, and added some small details: "A marriage between two surnames is no better than any other. Whether it succeeds or not does not depend on the wishes of both men and women, but only on the interests of the family. If the family who is married to the He family knew He will only be happy when he tells the situation of his brothers. What a good excuse is this? The two families are getting married, and the He family is invisibly at a disadvantage. Even if the woman doesn't want to accept it personally, her parents will let her accept it. I see that lady However, there was no sign of reluctance in his words and deeds..."
The Lord has always been a soft-hearted person.
He specifically explained that he was afraid that the Lord would be uncomfortable hearing it.
Although in Qi Shan's view, there is no need to feel uncomfortable about this matter. In this troubled world where men are accustomed to have three wives and four concubines, and women are criticized for their debauched behavior, the lady has two husbands legitimately, and He Shu and the two still It is impossible to have a concubine. No matter how much wealth the two brothers save in the future, the heir will only be her child. This alone will make many wives who are deeply involved in backyard competition and worry about the inheritance of their children envious? The three of them Living your life well is more important than anything else_(:з」∠)_.
Shen Tang's reaction was not as expected.
She just nodded to show that she understood.
"If I have the chance, I'd like to get to know him."
Maybe she is a woman with an interesting personality.
Qishan said: "The Lord wants to see you, and you can see him now."
Anyway, everyone in this family is in their own territory now.
"It's still not possible. I don't want to spoil the fun. Let's leave some time for the couple...the three of them to get along." Shen Tang felt that this was a bit awkward to say. If you disturbed the reunion of a couple after a long separation, you would be kicked. Not everyone is like her. Single people also don’t have a partner who knows both hot and cold situations. “I also have to think about how to deal with the mess caused by the battle in Shangnan.”
Due to the timely evacuation and the special thunder and lightning, the civilian casualties were small.
The biggest losses in Shangnan County were the city defense buildings, residential buildings in the city, guards, and those aristocratic families who chose to stay indoors during the war. Fang Yan borrowed people in name, but actually robbed them, successfully forcing some families to commit suicide. These The family has lost its guard and is worried that someone will take advantage of it and rob it.
They had packed up and fled long before the large-scale evacuation of the people from the inner city.
In other words, this is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
He accidentally avoided He Shu's massacre of the Shangnan family.
Shen Tang looked at the news presented by Fang Yan and was speechless for a while. His brain began to hurt. He wished he could treat the table as a congratulatory statement and pierce it with his finger: "No, just look at this result. If you want me to be the superior, All ethnic groups in the South, I will also wonder if 'I' and He Shu have reached a tacit understanding! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? I'm convinced, it's really yellow mud that falls off my crotch, it's not shit, it's shit. Every dog passing by can get a pot of shit thrown at it. !Thirty or fifty years of soliciting letters of congratulations and squeezing me out will not be able to restore the damage to my reputation."
Fang Yan hasn't slept well these past few days, and his face looks very bad.
The eldest brother has not left many thoughts for his brothers in this life. Shangnan County holds too many beautiful memories of his brothers. Seeing the place he was familiar with turned into ruins, Fang Shengsheng had the idea of eating congratulations.
Hate comes back to hate, he also knows that He Shu will not die because of the congratulatory letter, and Shen Tang will not kill the hero because of a congratulatory letter.
At least I won’t kill you in the middle of starting a business.
Even if you want to kill them, you should leave them until the birds are gone and the cunning rabbits die.
Fang Yan understood Shen Tang's difficulties and tried to suppress his personal emotions with reason. By the way, he reminded Shen Tang that the surviving clan members of each family were trying to unite! Even if He Shu's life was not taken, he would move this bloody feud to the He family. .
When someone congratulates someone on becoming an official, he will naturally have countless enemies.
Even the descendants of the He family who join the officialdom will be targeted.
As long as the bloodline is not extinguished, the revenge of ten generations can still be avenged!
Shen Tang said: "A lot of people?"
"There are not many people who survived, but aristocratic families from all over the country have been married to each other for so many generations, and there are many families involved with them."
"Tsk, then it depends on He Haogu's ability."
Shen Tang thought about it in his mind.
Finally, he waved his hand, indicating that he would not mention it for the time being.
After Fang Yan retreated, Shen Tang stared at the candlelight in trance for a moment, until Qi Shan caught her fishing. Qi Shan's right arm had just recovered, but the grip was insufficient, so he could only continue to use his left hand. Without the interference of Cui Xiao, the snail girl , pray that you can use your left hand to handle official documents more smoothly.
Shen Tang refused to admit that he was fishing.
"I'm obviously thinking about big things."
"My lord, can you let me help you share your thoughts and worries?"
Shen Tang blurted out: "I was wondering whether the deal of soliciting congratulatory letters and keeping congratulatory statements was worth it. When Fang Yan came, I felt that I was losing money. I just reset the calculation and found that it is quite worth it. Use magic to deal with magic. , use the aristocratic family to deal with the aristocratic family. He Shu has made countless enemies in this episode, and there is no possibility of reconciliation in the blood feud. Even the He family has been pushed to the forefront. The He family and the aristocratic family have completely separated their camps. If they want to continue, they can only You have surrendered to me wholeheartedly, right?"
Qishan said: "This is natural."
"He Shuhui is a very useful knife." In the future, if she wants to appease the aristocratic family, she only needs to support the He family and incite hatred. She does not have to worry about the He family's betrayal, because the He family has no way out. Support a group of people and then suppress them. A batch of them will warm my heart.
From this perspective, Shen Tang felt balanced.
Qishan said: "He will be."
It seems that the Lord did not slack off in his work.
During this night, Shen Tang didn't even close her eyes. She met the heroes who had made contributions in this battle one by one. She also went to meet several generals who were recovering from injuries. It was already late at night when Beijiu came back, and he just entered the camp. I saw someone waiting for me.
She was startled by Yun Ce who suddenly jumped out.
"Hey, why are you scary?"
Beijiu was angry and punched Yun Ce.
Hearing rustling noises behind him, he turned around and saw a group of Mohists watching the fun. He asked them to chase them away: "What are you looking at? If you feel free, go and work in the fields for another two hours."
They needed to cooperate in the construction of temporary shelters for the victims, and the demolition of the ruins in the city was also a heavy task. Beijiu had not had much rest in the past few days, and he had to guard against the lightning rods that had not been removed on the battlefield. He was running around all day long, He came back only two days ago. The other Mohists heard this and reluctantly left.
Until there were only two people left nearby.
"Say, what's the matter?"
What Yun Ce said was not what Beijiu expected.
"The Lord is looking for you. I'm waiting here."
Beijiu entered office mode: "When did the Lord come?"
"It's been a few hours since I arrived."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Bei Jiu rushing to the main tent: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You could have sent someone to call me!"
Yun Ce quickly followed up and whispered as he walked: "Don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty has been meeting other people before and didn't say it was an emergency. I will just come and wait for you. Zhoukou, I have been waiting for you for several days." I haven’t seen you, but I want to say a few words to you.”
After the battle in Shangnan, Beijiu's attitude towards him became much better.
It's just that I don't talk as much as before.
Clearly still angry.
Bei Jiu glanced at him sideways: "I've never seen you talk much before! Even if you want to talk, you don't even look at when..."
Yun Ce smiled broadly: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Bei Jiu stomped on him angrily: "I'll take care of you later."
Yun Ce said: "I'll wait for you."
Bei Jiu was so angry that he warned Yun Ce with his eyes.
When they entered the tent, Beijiu had already straightened up his expression.
When she came in, Shen Tang almost pressed his face against the cloth. The latter knew who had come in without raising his head. He raised his hand and said, "Zhou Kou, come closer and take a look at this. What do you think?"
Bei Jiu came closer out of curiosity.
On the fabric are twisted lines familiar to the painting style.
She squinted her eyes for a long time, trying to figure out the content without relying on explanations. The result was regrettable: "My lord, what is this painting?"
Shen Tang pointed to the line above the cloth: "This is the thunder cloud."
Then he pointed to the lightning line in the center of the cloth: "Thunder and lightning."
Finally, he pointed to the frame under the cloth: "As far as I know, He Shu's scribe's method can summon the sky thunder and transform the sky thunder into stable military armor. I have an idea, can the military armor have another form? For example, a battery... is a thing that stores thunder and lightning, and then draws the thunder out of the 'battery' for use?"
Thunderstorms can also fix nitrogen, which is beneficial to agriculture.
She racked her brains to squeeze back the original value from He Shu.
Beijiu picked up the cloth and looked at it for a long time. He didn't have a clear idea for a while, but the Lord's proposal was not impossible to implement.
If He Shu could control it, things would be much simpler. If He Shu could only turn thunder and lightning into armor to stimulate the soldiers' combat potential, she would have to think of a way to fix the "battery". Bei Jiu was just confused, the Lord wanted to What does this thing do?
Shen Tang thought about how to explain.
The simplest example is given: "Lighting."
Beijiu said: "Candlelight will do, too."
"This kind of convenient promotion can be used by ordinary people."
Bei Jiu was even more confused, so he had to remind Shen Tang in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, Ling De's house seems to sell a kind of plant lamp that can illuminate? It is also quite bright, and the price is also cheap. It is very popular in Fengluo and surrounding areas. Popular with students.”
It seems that this kind of plant lamp is still a big improvement for Lin.
Just looking at the written process, the overall cost of "battery" is much more expensive than that of plant lights. If the owner puts this into daily use, it seems not cost-effective. If it is used in war, its power is not as good as others.
Beijiu thinks the price/performance ratio is not good.
Shen Tang said: "Lighting is just an insignificant item."
Alas, it is really inconvenient to have no electricity.
Bei Jiu heard this and said no more.
It's a good thing that the higher-ups assign tasks. There are so many people in prison who are waiting to be fed. The project is big and the budget is big. What can you do for free? As long as the funds are in place, all requirements are not a problem.
Bei Jiu agreed without even thinking about it, and before Shen Tang could show joy, she whispered about how much the budget could be.
Shen Tang's smile froze.
"Ahem, let's ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to give you a budget later."
Beijiu nodded and turned to talk about the positions of general supervisors, that is, the establishment. Over the years, as Mo Zhe established himself as the general supervisor and made contributions to several major projects, his status and salary have also increased. His reputation has been established. Mohists from all over the country heard the news and came to seek refuge one after another. The number of Mohists who will serve as supervisors has been expanded several times, but there are always too many monks and not enough staff!
Many talented Mohists can only have a supernumerary status.
It not only affects salary, but also affects cultivation.
As a master craftsman, Beijiu naturally wants to hire more positions.
These words fell into Shen Tang's ears in just two words——
Make money!
She bit the bullet and said, "Let's go back to the officials."
Bei Jiu retired with joy, leaving Shen Tang holding his head in pain.
"Money, money, when will we not be short of money?"
When Qi Shan came in with a pile of new official documents, he heard her wailing. He swallowed the comfort on his lips and cruelly pressed the last straw. He took out the budget for the reconstruction of Shangnan County, and Shen Tang jumped over the pile. Looking at the quotations for raw materials and labor, just looking at the final total amount, my eyes suddenly darkened and I wanted to grab the ground with my head.
He Shu and Wu Xian were turned over and over and cursed.
"By the way, there is also Wu Xian."
Defeating Gao Guo can bring back a wave of blood.
Wu Xian has many aristocratic families under his command, and the aristocratic families are notoriously fat.
"Poverty will indeed drive people to a dead end."
She couldn't wait to raise the butcher knife.
Having said that, distant water cannot save nearby fire.
Shen Tang looked at the ruins in the city. All she could see were a series of numbers. Every stroke made her feel pain. It would be great if she could build houses and build roads without spending any money. She thought so, but Having said this, Qishan was ridiculed.
"No money? How can Xun Hanzhang reconcile the account?"
Shen Tang pointed to the ruins and said, "Words can solve all sorrows."
"Using the spirit of speech to build houses and roads?"
"Look for it, maybe——"
When Shen Tang said this, he suddenly paused.
Qi Shan didn't hear what happened next. He turned to look at her and saw that his master looked thoughtful, as if he was recalling something. Shen Tang said, "I remember that there was this spirit of speech."
Back then, she was killed by this spirit of words.
At that time, she was not very civilized, but over the years, she has made great progress in cultivation, and the Chinese luck from the national seal is abundant. Even if there are so many "mobile power banks", she may not be able to give it a try! She does not plan to build many houses in one go. No matter how many roads she builds, she just wants to succeed. There is no other way. Who told her to be poor now?
If you can save a fortune, it's a fortune.
"My lord?"
Shen Tang suddenly laughed stupidly: "How about giving it a try?"
Even if you fail, you have nothing to lose.
Qi Shan looked confused and had a bit of an ominous premonition in his heart.
"try what?"
The congratulatory letter, who was immersed in the joy of reunion after a long separation, shuddered and felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine. Before he could figure out the source, a fragrant breeze drifted into his nose. He lowered his head and saw a pink and purple cloak draped over his shoulders. Knowing who the visitor is: "Brother, are you asleep?"
"I fell asleep, but it wasn't very stable."
The congratulatory letter thought of He Shu's obvious white hair on his temples and sighed: "The last time he used the Way of the Scholars to sacrifice Shou Yuan..."
After the wife was sent, the congratulatory letter did not continue to imprison the brother.
Let He Shu come out in a literary form to have some fresh air, so that he can chat with his wife and understand the trivial matters at home these days.
The lady raised her voice: "Shouyuan?"
The congratulatory letter was worried about how to explain it, but then the wife said with hidden anger: "Well, if he has to be so uncaring, what can I say? Anyway, he is a literary scholar. If he lives longer, if he consumes more life span, he may still be able to leave. In front of me, an ordinary person."
He Xin knew that she was angry and did not force an explanation.
The lady said: "Do you really want to become an official?"
The implication is to ask if the congratulatory letter is still leaving.
Kang Guo was determined to destroy Gao Guo. Once the meat grinder of war started, it would not be easy to stop. He Xin would have to accompany the army to fight in the north and south, and he would definitely not be able to stay with her and her children.
"If I don't serve as an official, my eldest brother won't be able to keep it."
"Is Mr. Shen so domineering?"
The congratulatory letter looked at the lady who was leaning over and said softly: "She is a superior person. She will take life and death as long as it is necessary."

I was cleaning up my keyboards today and found that a lot of them were useless after I bought them, and they have been sitting there gathering dust for almost a year. I was thinking about whether to use the WB lottery to avoid wasting them.
