Wei Fufeng explained: "It is not just a human settlement, it requires a large amount of livestock. Northerners like to eat mutton."

Lin Qingxue suddenly realized and said worriedly: "My husband cares about the foundation of the north so much and does not hesitate to provide supplies from Jingzhou. The Hedong Army may have a day to turn against each other."

Wei Fufeng looked calm and said, "It is actually similar to business, and investment will have the risk of losing money."

The southern territory I now own will at most be in the southwest of the south. Once a force similar to Cao Cao appears in the north, Jinzhou north of the Yangtze River will not be able to defend it."

Lin Qingxue was stunned and whispered: "My husband cares about the northern territory, and plans to form a siege."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "It's not a question of the momentum of striking the corners. I care about the northern forces, mainly targeting Li Maozhen. My current forces are gradually developing towards Liu Bei's territory.

In ancient times, the use of troops in Shu Han occupied Jingzhou and peeked at the Nanyang Basin (Dengzhou) through the Han River.

The second is to send troops to advance to Longyou, that is, to seize the area west of Longshan (Liupan Mountains).

Only by occupying Longyou and absorbing the Qiang people, advancing the 800-mile Qinchuan treasure land east of Longshan, and having the territory within the pass, can it be evenly matched with the Central Plains forces."

Lin Qingxue said unexpectedly: "It turns out that Zhuge Liang doesn't want to go directly to the pass."

Wei Fufeng said: "The rule of the pass was taken by Cao Cao. At that time, the Shu Kingdom's troops were able to defend Bashu and did not have the surplus strength to advance to the pass.

Now I am also unable to seize Bashu and Hanzhong, and can only hope that the northern territory will be strong."

Lin Qingxue nodded and said, "Taking history as a guide, distinguishing gains and losses."

Wei Fufeng said: "The gains and losses of Shu Han can be learned from, but the situation is different, so we cannot stick to it and copy it.

In the late Han Dynasty, the areas south of the Yangtze River were not as rich as those in the north. After many years of immigration development, the production and population in the south surged, especially in eastern and western Zhejiang, it became a land of rice."

Lin Qingxue nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Even under our rule, the development of the Han people has also penetrated into Hunan and Guiguan.

Lingnan, known as a smoky land, can also become a treasure land of grain and salt as rich as east and west Zhejiang. In fact, the most important resource under its rule is the waterway business from Jiangling Prefecture to Guangzhou."

Lin Qingxue nodded and said, "The waterways make huge profits, and it is a good idea to encourage shipbuilding."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Encouraging shipbuilding is not just for the benefit of the north and the south, but the greater benefit is military.

Having a huge military force on the tower ship can attack east, west, west, Huainan Road, Qilu, and Bohai by sea, that is an advantage that Zhuge Liang cannot have."

Lin Qingxue nodded and worried, "It's not easy to build a huge shipbuilding."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "No hurry, the merchants are pursuing profits. Let the merchants build ships and go to sea to trade with the distant Dashi and Luzon.

There are many treasures we need overseas. Driven by the interests of maritime merchants, the craftsmanship of shipbuilding will become better and better, and the cost of shipbuilding will become lower and lower, so we can enjoy the success.”

Lin Qingxue smiled and said, "Your husband is wise."

Wei Fufeng smiled and got up and left in a good mood.

Under the guidance of the servant, Wei Fufeng came to a house on the west side of the back house.

The back house of the General's Mansion is roughly divided into two parts, east and west, and a three-in-depth patio layout.

The former owner of this house was Cheng Ying, the confidant general of Cheng Wen'er. After being killed by Tian Wen'er, the house was searched.

The best house in Jiangling Mansion is the government office where Chengxian lived, and Li Ji entered.

As for the noble King Xuan of the Tang Dynasty, his residence was very ordinary, that is, the home of ordinary wealthy families.

Cheng Shi did not respect King Xuan, but Wei Fufeng ignored him.

When he walked into the courtyard, the servant who led the way shouted: "The general is here and come out to serve."

The door was opened on the left side of the patio, and two strong servants walked out of the room. When they saw Wei Fufeng, they hurriedly lowered their heads and said respectfully: "Welcome to Master."

Wei Fufeng knew two slaves and followed Chunhong to the south. He waved his hand and signaled to lead the slaves to leave.

The servant who led the way bowed respectfully, then took a step back and turned away.

"You stayed." Wei Fufeng said casually.

"Master, I am ordered to stay and take care of two horse slaves." One slave replied respectfully.

"I'll come to visit them." Wei Fufeng said gently.

"Master, please come in." The two servants respectfully turned sideways.

Wei Fufeng walked into the wing room and felt warm immediately. He also saw two beautiful women wearing loose white skirts and bulging abdomen. They looked a little nervous.

"I welcome you." Ruan Niang and Xiulan bowed their heads and bent down to greet each other, whispering respectfully.

"Don't be too polite." Wei Fufeng hurriedly stopped him gently before leaving.

"Master Xie is here to visit me." Ruan Niang looked at Wei Fufeng and said softly.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but there are too many things."

"I know that the master is busy with military affairs. The next day after the master arrived, the eldest lady came to care for me and gave me a lot of things." Ruan Niang smiled and said softly.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said gently: "Come on, let me listen to our children."

Ruan Niang stood up happily, Wei Fufeng bent down and touched Ruan Niang's abdomen. Ruan Niang subconsciously reached out to touch Wei Fufeng's back.

After a while, Wei Fufeng straightened his waist and asked with a smile: "Does he make a fuss?"

"I will kick my servants occasionally." Ruan Niang replied gently.

Wei Fufeng smiled and leaned over to touch Xiulan's abdomen.

Xiulan stood quietly in the pavilion. After a while, Ruan Niang suddenly asked, "Master, I hope it's a man or a woman?"

Wei Fufeng looked at Ruan Niang straight and said gently: "I like it both men and women, but you and your tummy belong to Li Yuzhu, and I can't change your status as a slave."

Ruan Niang nodded and whispered: "I know that both my servant and my treacherous son belong to the lady."

Wei Fufeng stretched out his right hand, stroked Ruan Niang's cheek, rubbed it gently, and said gently: "Don't think too much, you can raise your baby with peace of mind, in fact, your belly is your and my child."

Ruan Niang smiled and nodded, Wei Fufeng put down his hand and gently ordered: "Xiulan, go and ask for food outside."

Xiulan was slightly stunned, nodded and turned around and walked away.

Ruan Niang said happily: "The master wants to have a meal here."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "I'm still spending the night here."

Ruan Niang nodded with a smile, stretched out her jade hand to serve Wei Fufeng and took off her outer robe.

Wei Fufeng naturally hugged Ruan Niang, lowered his head and kissed Xiu Hai's forehead, stroked the raised abdomen with one right hand, and gently rubbed it.

Sleeping on the same bed with two pregnant women, Wei Fufeng slept peacefully all night without any mind.

The next morning, we had breakfast together and left to the front office to handle official business.

After Wei Fufeng left, the two servants congratulated Ruan Niang and Xiulan, with a respectful expression as if facing Li Yuzhu.

......

In the Qianfu Study, Wei Fufeng took the tea bowl from Lin Qingxue's hand, lowered his head and drank it, put it on the desk, and then picked up a copy from a stack of official documents.

Lin Qingxue whispered: "Is it good at night, my husband?"

"Sleep for a night." Wei Fufeng replied gently.

"I have something to say about Xiulan," Lin Qingxue whispered.

Wei Fufeng looked at Lin Qingxue and said, "Sister, tell me."

"I think the relationship between Xiulan and Li Wanqiu is inappropriate?" Lin Qingxue said.

"What's wrong?" Wei Fufeng asked calmly.

Lin Qingxue whispered: "Maybe it will hinder the reputation of the husband. The husband is from a noble family and is similar to the princes of the same country. He may be criticized in the future."

Wei Fufeng turned his head and looked at the official document in his hand, whispering: "Sister, right and wrong, merit and demerit, there is no meaning when a person dies. Even if he has a next life, he is still another person."

Lin Qingxue said nothing, and Wei Fufeng said again: "A few days ago, the official document of Dangyang County Magistrate said that Guan Yu Temple was dilapidated and requested repairs. How should my sister respond?"

"Honey, aren't you denying it? The reason is that people's livelihood is the priority." Lin Qingxue replied.

"Sister also believes that people's livelihood is the priority?" Wei Fufeng said gently.

"Repairing the temple is not too much," Lin Qingxue replied.

"The official documents of Dangyang County Magistrate, from my perspective, are punished if he has ulterior motives!" Wei Fufeng said whispered.

"It's not that serious, right?" Lin Qingxue said in surprise.

Wei Fufeng said: "While Guan Yu was able to establish a temple and become a saint, it was highly praised by the people, but it was more of the creation of the gods of the court officials, with the purpose of praising the principles of being loyal to the emperor and respecting righteousness.

However, Cao Cao was scolded as a traitor during the same period. According to my sister, am I similar to Guan Yu or Cao Cao?"

Lin Qingxue was speechless, and Wei Fufeng sneered: "I am Tang Chen. I asked me to build a temple for Guan Yu to make a name for it. It was obvious that I dug a trap to let me jump down. In the future, I could only slap myself in the face and look embarrassed."

Lin Qingxue said helplessly: "You have such subjective belief that you are biased. Perhaps you misinterpreted the Dangyang County Magistrate and it is inappropriate to be punished based on speculation."

"A scholar who is a scholar who knows and makes such a mistake in his position. I am not suitable for him at present." Wei Fufeng said.

Lin Qingxue frowned slightly and said, "Mr., I am talking about Xiulan's affairs, which is a family matter."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "It's family matter, so I have my position on matters. Since ancient times, many wise kings have inevitably been criticized and criticized, Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Li Shimin, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, which one can be a saint."

"Is Xiulan comparable to Yang Guifei? Is it indispensable to the husband?" Lin Qingxue said angrily.

Wei Fufeng said gently: "My position is simple, try to keep my relatives rich and worry-free. When I went to Xichuan resolutely, I was just thinking about being a rich man. Now that I am in power, why should I abandon my relatives?"

Lin Qingxue was silent, Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Sister, I am a man with great selfishness. I am not making achievements for the people of the world, I am just for my own glory and wealth."

Lin Qingxue sighed lightly: "Your husband doesn't care about personal morality, so I won't talk about it."

"I know that my sister is for my own good. I feel that if Xiulan leaves me and remarries, she will be able to get happiness." Wei Fufeng said gently.

"Maybe it's because I think it's simple." Lin Qingxue said gently.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Sister, Xiulan is Li Yuzhu's slave, similar to Wen'er's dowry slave, and is a dowry private money."

Lin Qingxue nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Xiulan is just a slave, and she is insignificant, but she is like a famous artist who accidentally paints a mistake. The people who admire the paintings cannot see it at all. The famous artist feels that it is inappropriate, so he takes the initiative to doodle again, which gives people the excuse of being despised and belittled."

Lin Qingxue was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "My husband said that if Xiulan is abandoned, it will attract people's attention and exploration, causing more people to know Xiulan."

Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly and whispered: "I don't want to leave it in my heart, this is an explanation for my sister."

Lin Qingxue nodded clearly and no longer obsessed with this matter.
