Chapter 269 Family Affairs

Even though Jiang Feng had made up his mind to build the ship no matter how much money he spent, he heard the number of more than 120,000 taels, and he was frightened and almost fell off the chair. He thought to himself what this is. Now his reserves are only about 400,000 taels, and the more than 400,000 taels of silver also include those silver bricks obtained from the Dong family. Although he earned a lot on weekdays, he also spent a lot.

Among the leading figures in Dengzhou Camp, even the big housekeeper in charge of money like Zhao Xiucai, I don’t know how much money Jiang Feng has. This is also the place where Jiang Feng is careful. After all, large amounts of money can easily make people think. In modern times, some fathers and brothers around him can turn against each other for money, let alone such armed groups now.

Liu Shier was also very surprised when he heard this number. He usually had the role of Secretary-General equivalent to Jiang Feng, and he was not as concerned about money as Zhao Xiucai. However, the money spent on armed merchant ships, improved blessing ships, and each ship was already surprised.

But no one expected that the price of this so-called big ship was so amazing, 125,000 taels, what is this number? If you ask if the tax collected by the Jining Mansion in Shandong is 100,000 taels a year, you said hesitantly:

"Sir, if this money is used to train troops, a strong army of ten thousand can be obtained in a year. Why spend it on the sea? I'm not a student. If our Dengzhou fleet is head-on with the Ming navy, it may not be sure to win, but it is not so easy to lose. It is enough to have such strength..."

When the troops were trained and the words of the Ming Navy were like a rebellion, it was already a rebellion, so Liu Shier's voice was already quite low. However, there was still a tentative accountant here. Liu Shier, who had always been steady, actually said such words, which showed that he felt very confused about the use of the 120,000 taels of silver for shipbuilding.

Jiang Feng pondered there and returned the order to the accountant, and said with a firm expression:

"Zao, tell Mr. Zhao that I will allocate money to him."

After the accountant retreated, Jiang Feng rubbed his forehead with his hands and said to Liu Shier over there:

"We must have our own strength at sea, and it is best to have absolute superior strength. Don't always put your eyes on land, and the sea is bigger."

In the evening, Jiang Feng, Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters had dinner together. I don’t know when it started. The little girl Su Guanxue, oh, to be precise, is not a little girl anymore. At this time of the Ming Dynasty, if a girl reaches the age of fourteen, the family can consider getting married.

And we must start to pay attention to etiquette, such as the difference between men and women, and the prevention of ethics and education. According to the rules at this time, the meeting between Jiang Feng and Su Guanxue is no longer in line with etiquette.

However, no one deliberately said this. Fourteen-year-old Su Guanxue was graceful and bright. She followed her sister Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui to study poetry and female reds together every day. Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue sent her to do not stop Su Guanxue from getting close to Jiang Feng. Of course, this girl will not be the same as before. When she saw Jiang Feng, she would throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly.

For people of this era, the relationship between them is too close. The two girls in Jiang Feng's inner house have no objection to this. Everyone who knows this is tacit and thinks it is a matter of course. Officials of Jiang Feng's level and who have such a large financial resources are of the same level as him, and they all pay great attention to their diet and behavior.

When Jiang Feng's family was having dinner, there was no such statement at all. Jiang Feng liked to evaluate how the chef cooked today, how the taste was, how the taste was improved, etc. Although Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue were both from wealthy families, one was a young man and the other worked hard since childhood.

I am quite clear about cooking. There is still a bit of debate among several people on this. Although the final result is often what Jiang Feng said, he cooks to pack up a few delicious dishes by himself. These delicious dishes are often eaten by a few girls.

Now Jiang Feng is busy with business in front, and he spends less and less time at home, and he is gradually less time with his family. Although Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue are both just twenty years old, they have grown up in an official family since childhood, and are not a spoiled young lady. They also express their understanding of Jiang Feng's busyness. After all, their own men are not romantic outside, but are actually doing some careers.

But although the youngest Su Guanxue grew up, she was not as lively and naughty as she was three years ago. However, after Jiang Feng came back, she was always around Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng, who was already in a thick mood, had no feelings at all. Instead, Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui often showed deep smiles, and Su Guanxue was often shy and blushed when she saw this smile.

The same is true for today's family dinner. Jiang Feng was very excited to cook a fried snail slice and a steamed sea fish. There was no pollution in this era, and the taste of seafood is naturally extremely delicious. With Jiang Feng's professional skills, it is naturally icing on the cake.

Jiang Feng is now rare to participate in a family dinner because his time is in Dengzhou Camp, and the maritime smuggling and private salt have taken up a lot of his time. Jiang Feng's participation and delicious dishes make the atmosphere of this simple family meal very high.

Liu Fangrui on the other side received a letter from Zhejiang governor Liu Shunhua. After reading the letter, she was quite unhappy there. Before Jiang Feng heard the news, she started talking there herself and said in a angrily manner:

"After my father re-stringed, he married two concubines. Now he is going to marry the fourth wife."

Jiang Feng laughed secretly after hearing this. The official voice of Zhejiang governor Liu Shunhua is quite good in Zhejiang. First of all, Zhejiang and Nanzhili can be regarded as large-scale and famous fleets and private owls, who want to sell Jiang Feng's face, are now extraordinary.

If I don’t know what to do, nearly twenty gunships surrounded me and slammed, no one could stand this matter, so it would be better to be settled on Jiang Laohu’s father-in-law’s territory. As for those scattered Japanese pirates, although the Minzhuang in Zhejiang cannot take the initiative to attack, he has enough self-protection.

The ground was so peaceful that Zhejiang, the richest place in the world, naturally gradually exuded his vitality. Originally, Liu Shunhua was transferred to Zhejiang to make this person eat some places in Zhejiang and the Japanese were not in peace. At that time, the Hanlin scholar who was promoted to the Rockets would naturally make the Rockets unlucky and suffer. Unexpectedly, Liu Shunhua became famous now.

Since everything was stable, Liu Shunhua began to pursue things like enjoyment. This matter is understandable. The low-ranking officials in the Hanlin Academy were naturally poor. Although they were promoted later, they were usually involved with lawless people like Jiang Feng. They were dedicated to protecting the fire and putting out the fire. What kind of pleasure will be there? Now everything has stabilized, and the colorful thoughts in the hearts of scholars are naturally alive.

Thinking about how hard a person has been living for so many years, he is about to be fifty years old, so it is understandable to be able to enjoy himself quickly. Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought about this. Liu Fangrui on the other side was originally very dissatisfied, but when he saw Jiang Feng smiling, he immediately became arrogant.

There he shouted in a tender voice:

"With me and Guan Yue, are you still thinking about it? The surname Jiang, please listen to me, and you are not allowed to marry more."

The sister Su Guanyue next to him has always been gentle. When she heard Liu Fangrui's coquettishness, she couldn't help but smile. However, when the sister Su Guanxue next to him heard the sentence "No more marriages are allowed", her face suddenly changed. Liu Fangrui on the other side felt that she had said the wrong thing and said with a smile:

"But it's okay to marry one more, and it's good to fill in a sister for us. Do you think so, Xiaoxue?"

After hearing these words, Su Guanxue felt relieved. When she heard what Liu Fangrui asked later, she was immediately embarrassed and blushed and ran out.

Jiang Feng also saw some tricks, and laughed a few times there, without expressing any opinions. He just picked up a piece of fish for Liu Fangrui who was smiling there, which was blocking her mouth. However, he thought about Andrea he met during the day, thinking that he would rather hide these things first.

The next morning, Jiang Feng had already handled the recent affairs of Dengzhou Camp. The problem now should be to deal with the money arrangements after the construction of the ship began. He would definitely not just build such a ship, as for the money arrangements.

Zhao Xiucai's place is just a matter of money and accounting. The real general account and core are still here in Su Guanyue. This girl is Jiang Feng's most trusted, and there is nothing she can rely on except Jiang Feng. Zhao Xiucai's accountant has sent the specific details about the warship to the mansion. Su Guanyue was there nervously accounting, and Jiang Feng sat next to accompany him, chatting with Su Guanxue without a word.

No one expected that this time the work was done for two days. Two days later, Su Guanyue, with red eyes, said to Jiang Feng quite affirmatively:
Chapter completed!
