Jia Liu got up very early and got some brown sugar water because Yuanyuan said that her belly was bloated and painful, and she might be pushing it.
Seeing the girl's frown, Jia Liu felt very distressed. He put the brown sugar water beside the bed and said softly: "You rest first, I will find someone to arrange to send two maids over. Although I can't give you a name.
I can't let you suffer with me."
The girl ignored him.
Jia Liu was sarcastic, but as someone who had experienced it, he fully understood that he and Ruxiu had no emotional foundation at the time, and getting married was like a scratch-off, and no one knew who the other person was. But isn’t that the case these days? Love lasts for a long time, and couples are equally loving.
, the glue is as sweet as paint.
Compared to Ruxiu who was accused of being married, Yuanyuan may have more resistance to him as a pure demon, although Jia Liu is not what Yuanyuan imagined.
The road is far away and you can see the power of horses, and the passage of time can tell the people's hearts.
Jia Liu gently patted Yuanyuan, whose back was facing him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to dad for the time being. When I have some free time in a while, I will take you back to the door. What can I say, you can't do it now."
My name is Jia Gu."
There is no status, but the rules still have to be followed.
Agui's full-scale offensive is scheduled for October. Although the Qing army had some offensives against Xiaojinchuan before this, they were all localized and small-scale, such as the last battle at Luobowa Mountain. Therefore, if Yuanyuan misses her father
, there is still a chance to go back.
The forward stronghold of Jimingyi is controlled by Jia Liu.
It took Wen Fu more than half a year to capture Menuo and Muguomu. If Agui followed suit, even if Xiao Jinchuan's strength was damaged, it would take at least six months, not to mention Jia Liu's collaboration with the enemy.
For the time being, Mr. Gu and the group of volunteers will not face a life-and-death crisis, but in the final step, Jia Liu will definitely take action.
Even if he couldn't save his father-in-law, he still had to recruit some volunteers.
I also thought about asking Director Zhao to come over and discuss the renovation of Siwei Building and add a bathroom and sanitary area for women to use alone.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for Yuanyuan to live there, let alone Ma Chunhua who is on the road.
Although we cannot give them status, our living environment should still be as comfortable as possible for them.
"I'm going out to do errands first, remember to drink the sugar water..."
After coming out of the house, Jia Liu led people down the mountain to take a look at the artillery training ground that was being leveled.
The artillery training ground occupies a large area, larger than the flagman training camp. The reason why it is so large is that Jia Liu plans to cast cannons here.
The key to pacifying the Big and Small Jinchuans is no longer the Little Jinchuan, but the Great Jinchuan. If you want to pacify the Great Jinchuan and complete the transformation of the entire Jinchuan, you must remove those stone blockhouses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Yang Yuchun's earth pile method is actually the safest and most cost-effective way to deal with stone blockhouses, because all that is needed is earth.
It is equivalent to a very cowardly but stupid tactic, but the most terrible thing about this tactic is that it is too time-consuming.
It took half a month or even a month to pile up a stone blockhouse. It is estimated that Qianlong's tomb was robbed after all the stone blocks were piled up.
Therefore, the soil pile method cannot be popularized.
The method of choking out the defenders with chili noodles is also limited by terrain and wind direction. It is also a trick tactic and cannot be used in a regular manner.
Unless Jia Liu can create a real explosive package.
For now, we still have to use artillery bombardment.
However, the current large and small artillery of the Qing army can only be effective unless they are concentrated on one or two stone blockhouses. If they are dispersed, they are ineffective and time-consuming.
Jia Liu thought about building a new cannon. The concept of "mortar" that the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp came up with last time at Aliko Village was right, because the top of the stone blockhouse was the weakest point of the entire stone blockade, and there was no cover at all. As long as
By adjusting the shooting angle, the cannonball can accurately hit the top of the stone blockhouse.
President Li proposed to kill Agui and support Fulhun to preside over the military affairs. It was certainly a good idea for everyone to make a fortune together. Jia Liu thought that he could go further. Why couldn't he, Batulu, become the leader of the army, or in the name of the second or third leader?
Exercise the power of a leader.
This is not impossible. The current second-in-command of the army is 23-year-old left deputy general Feng Sheng'e, the third-in-command is 28-year-old right deputy general Mingliang, and the 20-year-old Fukang'an, who has died for his country, has also become the deputy commander-in-chief of the army.
Only by turning the impossible into the possible, and the rotten into the miraculous, can Jaturu's methods be revealed.
Besides, isn’t that how he came to be known as Batulu?
The most practical point is that making cannons requires money, a lot of money.
Jia Liu couldn't see money.
You can take your time with the software, but the hardware must come first.
There is a saying that it can be good or bad, but it can never be absent.
First of all, a large amount of charcoal is needed to cast cannons. There is no coal in the Jinchuan area. If it is transferred from other places, it will be troublesome and prone to accidents. Therefore, Jia Liuyi ordered people to use local materials and cut down the trees in the surrounding mountains of Xiaozhai.
Dozens or even hundreds of large cellars were dug to make charcoal.
The contractor responsible for leveling the artillery training ground was a Chengdu native named Hou, who had nothing to do with Jia Liu and Vice Chairman Bo. He was directly contracted by the Governor's Yamen, and the project funds were also drawn directly from the Governor's Yamen.
Other projects are almost of the same nature, which is why Jia Liu didn't bother.
There's no point asking, it's not like he's handing out the money.
But Jia Liu still had to have a few words with Foreman Hou. After calling the people over, he asked Yang Yuchun to knock the ground with an iron rod to show that the ground was not hard enough, and then walked away.
After that, Director Zhao found Mr. Jia Tulu, told Mr. Jia on behalf of Foreman Hou, and presented three silver notes worth a thousand taels.
"This is not my personal project, it is a project of the imperial court. The quality must be guaranteed! Whoever dares to do a shoddy project for the imperial court will have his head chopped off by me!"
Jia Liu accepted the banknote and asked Foreman Hou to make corrections as soon as possible. He also told Director Zhao about the renovation of Siwei Building.
"Don't worry, sir. I will arrange for someone to go there right away."
After Director Zhao left, Jia Liu felt that it was inappropriate to accept three thousand taels from someone like this, so he called Wang Fu and asked him to inspect other construction sites.
Because it is inconvenient for Jia Liu to come forward, he can't be so dignified as Batulu. The leading minister should go and extort money in person.
"Don't come back if you don't have ten thousand taels. I'll give you half of it. You can take the remaining half and give it to your brothers."
Jia Liu never worked alone, so he asked Wang Fu to send someone to Chongzhou to buy two maids and two cooks, and he would double their wages.
After arranging all this, we went up the mountain to prepare for lunch. Unexpectedly, Vice President Bo came.
The vice-president was really happy to see Mr. Shikai, and shouted from afar: "A good son-in-law!"
"Brother!"
Jia Liu was also very happy and went to greet him personally.
"Um?"
Vice President Bo was obviously unhappy with this title.
"Amma!"
Jia Liu promptly corrected his mistake and welcomed Vice President Bo into Siwei Building with a smile on his face.
As soon as he entered the room, Vice President Bo saw Miss Gu Er sitting by the bed sewing flat underwear for Jia Liu. He couldn't help but was startled and asked Shi Kaixian brother doubtfully: "Who is this?"
"Amma, these are your siblings."
Jia Liu happily moved the stool and said to Miss Gu Er, "I haven't made tea for you yet."
