Chapter seven hundred and forty second leaves know autumn

In September, the autumn is very strong, and at the beginning of Youth, the sky is getting darker. Dong'er asked the children playing in the yard to prepare for dinner. He was worried that Jiang Anyi was wearing a single shirt and came to the study room with a clip shirt. In the study room, Jiang Anyi was thinking with a letter and contemplating, and his figure condensed into silhouettes in the dark.

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Anyi raised his head and Dong'er said, "Jianglang, the children are waiting for you to have dinner. The weather is cold, so add some clothes."

Jiang Anyi stood up, took the shirt and put it on. Dong'er thoughtfully buttoned it for him. He caught a glimpse of the letter from the table and asked casually: "Is it okay for uncle to be in the north?"

When he smelled the quiet orchid fragrance at the nose, Jiang Anyi felt his dizzy head clear. The three women around him had different personalities and used different perfumes. Xinfei had a strong personality and liked the rich fragrance of sausage. Dong'er was gentle and used more elegant fragrances like orchid. Tong'er liked wintersweet, so her perfume naturally also used wintersweet fragrance. The Jiang family has developed as many as twelve types of perfumes. If you smell the fragrance, you will know women. What kind of women do these twelve fragrances belong to?

Jiang Anyi was thinking randomly, Dong'er happily held Jiang Anyi's hand, and the two of them came to the dining hall. Several children were making noise at the table. Xinfei took the dishes from the servant and placed them on the table. Tong'er was placing the dishes, which was very lively.

Dong'er scoops duck soup from a few children's bowls and reminds him: "Drink more soup when the weather is cold, which can drive away the cold and warm the stomach and nourish it. If you sweat, you must wipe it clean with a towel first, otherwise you will easily catch a cold."

Tong'er smiled and said, "When did Sister Dong'er become a doctor? My throat has been dry these two days. What should I eat?"

Before the meal, Jiang Anyi asked Chen Zhi and Chen Yi's studies. Li Donghong taught very carefully. The two children had already known a lot of words. Xinfei handed the chopsticks to Jiang Anyi and smiled and said, "Don't be stern to the child all day long. Zhier and Yier are a little afraid of you, eat."

Jiang Anyi remembered that his younger brother said that the north was cold in his letter and told him: "An Yong wrote that the north was cold. You can go to the west market to buy more warm furs and send them to the army so that An Yong and his personal guards can wear it."

Tong'er was managing the business at home and knew the fur market well. She interrupted: "When Jiang Lang was in Huazhou, he asked zoology to study the skills of weaving blankets and making leather, and he had achieved results. The number of weaving blankets, leather jackets and furs purchased by Zhenbei Daying from Huazhou merchants has surged, and the prices have increased by nearly 30% compared with previous years. Our blanket and leather shops in the past few years have also made a lot of money. The things in the fur clothes shop in Xishi are expensive and useless. I wrote a letter to ask my own shop to send them, and I sent them directly from Huazhou to Zhenbei Daying. It took about twenty days, and I couldn't make a mistake."

Dong'er said: "Let the shop pick some furs and send them to your home. The children are growing fast and they can't wear clothes last year this year. I plan to sew a few clothes for them during the winter this year."

Jiang Anyi frowned and said, "Although our family is not short of money, we can't waste it too much. A fur coat will not be broken for several years. The big ones cannot be worn, so that the smaller ones can't be worn. Since we ask the shops in Huazhou to give you more furs, we can just send them more. The family will pick up a few pieces, and there are also some senior brothers Fan, brother Liu, and Tian Shoulou. Sichen is going to get married at the end of the year, so prepare more dowry for her. How is Siqing and Xiao Changshi of the Right Guard? Should we prepare some for her?"

Xinfei smiled and said, "Siqing's good thing is probably after the New Year, but Qiuyi can be prepared. Then I will ask two girls to choose it myself."

Siqing and Pan Heyi failed, Xinfei was angry and anxious, and asked Tian Shoulou to find out where to choose a suitable candidate. Tian Shoulou was very familiar with the situation in Beijing, and indeed lived up to his responsibilities. He sent three names, both of which were both literary and martial, and were both about Sichen. Li Laigao came forward, and Wu He Xigui arranged it. He made an appointment with people, literary meetings, or hunting, and several contacts. Siqing was destined to be the chief of the Right Guard, Xiao Shengyi, and finally settled Xin Fei's thoughts.

Dong'er was afraid of the cold and said with a bitter face: "Wearing fur clothes can keep warm, but these hands have no place to hide. You have to wear a hand drum wherever you go. It's really inconvenient to do things. My uncle and his wife are already cold in the north, and they can't hold swords and guns when wearing a hand drum. After winter, they will definitely have frostbite on both hands."

Jiang Anyi's heart moved. He had seen gloves on his fingers in the memory of the demon master. Now Huazhou can tannate leather. If he can make sheepskin gloves on his five fingers, they can bend them freely when worn on his hands, which can keep warm without affecting the grasping. It should be useful to An Yong.

As soon as he made up his mind, Tong'er's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Jiang Lang, this is a good method. I will leave this matter to me, so that our family can earn more than 100,000 taels a year."

Jiang Anyi said unhappily: "Tong'er, don't always think about money when doing anything. Too much money is not a good thing. As the saying goes, money is the root of trouble. Be careful to cause trouble."

Tong'er playedfully stuck out her tongue and made a face, making several children laugh "legged".

Xinfei couldn't help but speak out and said, "Jiang Lang, sister Tong'er is also thinking about her family. Why are you blaming her randomly?"

Tong'er whispered: "Sister, the eunuch from the East Palace came to ask for perfume the last time, but I blocked it back. Later, Jianglang went to the East Palace and was neglected by the prince. Now someone in the capital is rumoring that Jianglang has evil the prince, and I am afraid that it caused trouble because of his stinginess."

Xinfei said angrily: "You did not do anything wrong in this matter. The villain of the Eastern Palace used the name of the prince to make profits everywhere. There have been rumors of injustice in the capital. The prince cannot restrain his subordinates and will eventually cause trouble. Jiang Lang's name is the prince's teacher, and he will also be responsible for not teaching strictly. I think Jiang Lang might as well report to the emperor and denounce him wrong."

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiong, He Ziying and others have persuaded the prince. It is a pity that Cheng Mingdao bewitched His Highness and said that he should benefit the people around him to make him loyal. At present, I am not in the Eastern Palace and do not plan his own affairs. Long live with the Dragon Guard as his eyes and ears. I think there are some information about these matters. Long live with the crown prince is a father and son, so why should I ask for trouble?"

"I just said that Tong'er should not always think about money, and there is no need to offend the Eastern Palace for money. But it is mainly said that gloves can protect the soldiers of Mobei and have more strength in the future when fighting. This is a major event that is beneficial to the country. Don't always think about making money. There is no family in the country. This principle must be clearly distinguished."

Tong'er rolled her eyes and smiled sly, "I understand what Jiang Lang said. Gloves are military supplies and can add combat power to the soldiers of the Mobei army. It is a great achievement. It is too stupid to use it in exchange for more than 100,000 taels of silver. It should be presented to the court and let the emperor be awarded an official position and a title."

Jiang Anyi looked at Tong'er in a daze. His mind was spinning too fast. Xinfei smiled and said, "If Tong'er becomes an official, she will definitely be much better than Jiang Lang."

Several children looked at Tong'er with admiration, and Jiang Yunjing even applauded and said, "Mom is so awesome."

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "Tong'er's method is good, but I'm promoted too fast and it takes time to settle down. Is there any contribution now? Tong'er, you can work hard tonight and ask the servants at home to help you make a few samples. Take it to your uncle's mansion tomorrow and ask him how the Li family will operate."

Tong'er said gratefully: "Thank you, Jiang Lang. I will call Donghong and Laigao at that time. Now my uncle is very fond of these two boys."

…………

The autumn wind is tight in September, and the weather is as cool as it is.

The practice of the Sixteen Guards in the capital became nervous. The troops from the Eastern Palace led the mansion often pulled out to compete with the Sixteen Guards. When He Xigui returned to the mansion, he said excitedly that General Xue asked them to step up the training, and the court would likely draw the troops from the Sixteen Guards and the Eastern Palace led the mansion to participate in the war. During the practice, He Xigui shined, and many generals of the Sixteen Guards were defeated by him. His Royal Highness also made a special trip to summon him to encourage him, making contributions to the country and earning face for the Eastern Palace.

In September, the court issued two decrees. One was to ask the craftsmen of the military weapon supervision to go to the base of Beidaying in Leizhou and Dengzhou Town to manufacture military weapons nearby, and requisition laborers from several states in Leizhou, Dengzhou, Chenzhou and Hengzhou to serve in front of the army. The other was to order each prefecture and county to recruit soldiers, strengthen training, and select the best to enrich the four major protectors. The second was to recruit soldiers or regiment training.

Dazheng adopted the recruitment system, giving twelve pieces of silk, twelve stones of corn, and salt, vinegar and wine. The soldiers also had military pay according to their level. If they were rewarded for war, they would be promoted. These seemingly good treatments are actually superficial. There are many phenomena in the military camp about seniority, gang formation, oppression of newcomers, and deducting military pay. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "good iron does not make nails, and good men do not join the army."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the battle between Zhenbei Daying and Moqi was said to be a great victory. The Moqi was killed by eight thousand, including two thousand Black Wolf Army, and Shi Kangqianfeng, deputy secretary of the Military Information Department, made his first contribution. He was promoted to third level and became the seventh-rank deputy Zhenwei. The disciples of the Fenglei Sect who searched for information with him were all promoted to one level, and the Fenglei Sect recorded a great contribution.

The power of role models is huge. For a time, the people from the Military Intelligence Department asked for their orders, and various information came in floods, which made Huang Xi both happy and worried. There were too many information, both true and false, and the difficulty of distinguishing was greatly increased.

There are not many people in the capital who know the real situation of the war, but there are many people in the capital who are traitors, and they can find a lot of things from the two decrees. When the real situation came from the Daying of Mobei, the powerful and noble children who shouted to make contributions to the Northern Expedition became much less voiced. Making contributions is a good thing, but survival is more important.

On December 8th, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Li Laigao married Sichen. The Li Mansion of Taipu Temple was decorated with lights and people came to congratulate him. This marriage attracted attention in Beijing. The Li family is one of the top ten families. Although they have declined in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Secondly, the Li family and the Jiang family have married each other. This time, Li Laigao married Mrs. Jiang Anyi's junior sister and kinship. The relationship between the two families is becoming more and more unbreakable. Thirdly, Li Laigao is a rising star valued by the emperor and has a bright future. Fourthly, the Li family recently presented a glove thing to keep the soldiers in the Beimo world warm. The emperor was very happy and praised the Li family for their careless wealth and patriotism, which is worthy of being a model of aristocratic family.
