Mr. Wang showed great concern for Zhou Juli's condition. This concern was not limited to asking for medical advice, but also further pointed out to Zhou Xianren that he only has one child now, a girl, and he is "a child" in terms of heirs.
"High risk". I have been serving him for more than two years and I am not pregnant. I suggested that he see a doctor and take in a few more concubines.
Zhou Xianren had a long face about Mr. Wang asking him to check his body. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the doubts about his X ability, but he was very interested in adding family members. So after a few days, Mr. Wang
A small sedan was sent and a girl named "Yourong" was carried in.
Although Yourong was bought from Yangzhou, she is an out-and-out Shandong girl. Mr. Wang knew that the Hearthstone Immortal liked tall and strong women who did not have their feet bound, so he specially sent people to Yangzhou to visit the girls in various monasteries.
The selection among "thin horses" is the lowest.
The so-called lowest-grade thin horses are maids who are specially trained to do cooking, sewing, and washing. They are also trained since childhood. They have certain requirements for appearance and speech. They just have to do menial work, so they do not have their feet bound and their bodies must be stronger.
.
This Yourong is one of the best. Mr. Wang knew that Yourong's parents were still there, so he immediately took her parents to the capital, and without any suspense, he drove another nail into the Hearthstone Immortal's bed.
The arrival of Yourong caused a small disturbance in Hearthstone Immortal's family. Zhiling and Yui were prostitutes together at first, and later came to the Zhou family together. Not only did they have a "contemporary" friendship, but they also
They all came from a small family in the same hometown, and the relationship between sisters was relatively stable. But it was different for Yourong later. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also literate, and he was raised using male-female routines learned in the courtyard.
Various little tricks were put in place, and within a few months it had firmly occupied the position of the master bedroom.
Yui couldn't bear this tone. Although she was also a concubine, she adhered to the concept of "getting started first, the best". In addition, she was Zhou Juli's adoptive mother, so she could not help but show her disdain for Yourong.
When Yourong first arrived, he could only stay dormant for a while. After a few months, seeing that his favor had not diminished, the Hearthstone Immortal clearly showed a cold shoulder to Yui, so he turned against Yui.
After all, Yui was from a commoner's family, so she was no match for a woman trained in Fengyue's Nest. After a few rounds, she was clearly at a disadvantage. So she relied on Zhou Juli's adoptive mother, who was the de facto housewife of the family, to begin.
Yourong always makes things difficult for you, but yourong never buys it.
The two of them went back and forth and staged a miniature version of a palace fight in Mr. Zhou's house, which made Mr. Zhou very confused. In order to avoid the irreconcilable conflict with the Holy See, he could only hang out in the study with Zhou Lezhi every day, even sleeping.
In the study room, rumors spread again that Mr. Zhou was fond of Nanfeng - of course, this was not the first time there were rumors.
Mr. Zhou was so worried that he could no longer think about anything about going south. On this day, he asked Liu Zhao about his plans. Liu Zhao smiled and said, "Why do you need to worry, sir? Whether you have a rong or a good dress, they are all my slaves. If you are the master,
It is a willingness to give forty yuan per person to ensure that the family will be safe from now on."
"How is this allowed? Not to mention who is right and who is wrong, even if someone is really at fault, you can't hit someone casually. Isn't this considered domestic violence?"
Zhou Lezhi was filled with contempt at this moment. It turns out that Mr. has a soft ear, and two girls can torment him like this. Fortunately, there is no housewife, otherwise he would be a master who can kneel through the footboard!
Contempt turned to contempt, his studies improved greatly during this period. Because Mr. Zhou did not want to go to the back house, he stayed in the study day and night, so he took education as a pastime.
Wang Yehao was also in a state of distress. His wishful thinking was originally very well planned: on the one hand, he took over the Australian property in Guangfu through the Tian family and cut off their money and food; on the other hand, he encouraged Wang Zunde to use troops to attack the high ground and destroy his lair; and then he himself
Then send people to collect the Universe Mirror to get full success.
However, what came from Guangdong Tangbao was the news of the defeat of the army. This unexpected news really made Wang Yehao a little panicked. Although the soldiers of the country were often at a disadvantage when dealing with the cavalry in the north, the same could not be said for the pirates on the border.
Ever since Qi Shaobao pacified the Japanese invasion, the imperial court had either suppressed or pacified the Japanese invaders, but had never had such a defeat. They mobilized the whole province, gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers, marched by sea and land, and marched on foot and cavalry. Western cannons were also added, and red barbarian artillery suppressed the formation.
Unable to defeat five hundred bandits, he had more than ten thousand prisoners captured alive, and even trapped the commander in Qiongzhou. This is really unreasonable.
As the top official of the General Administration Department, where the national memorials and memorials are concentrated, Wang Yehao has a good understanding of the military strength of each province. He knows that these tens of thousands of troops are almost all of Guangdong's wealth. This fiasco is not only a matter of losing troops and generals, but also wasting military pay.
, it is also possible that the lack of military strength could trigger a riot among the Li people in Guangdong. The consequences would be disastrous.
Wang Zunde is in danger!
He closed the question book and put it on the table. The feeling of powerlessness of his failed plan was mixed with strong confusion, which made him doubt whether he was truly in control of the overall situation. Since the imperial court was defeated, those Australian thieves must have stepped up their vigilance.
It becomes impossible to obtain the Universe Mirror without anyone noticing.
"Is this Universe Mirror really so powerful?" Wang Yehao sighed in a low voice. Before, I thought the Hearthstone Immortal was just talking nonsense, but now it seems that there may be some truth to it.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense, but the government and the public have heard that the Australian Kun Bandit's firearms are very sharp." Jin Wenchi hesitated again and again, and then tried, "Sir, Mr. Zhou can't keep such a big thing a secret, right?"
Nowadays, whether in court or in the market, there is more and more news about the Australian Kun thief. Instead of letting him know by himself, it is better to process the news proactively and then tell him.
Wang Yehao thought for a moment and ordered: "We must make complete preparations for this matter, and let me think of how to say it. Mr. Zhou, try to make him unable to get away. Also, send a message to Liu Zhen and let him
Look around: If anyone is familiar with the inside story of the Kun thief, don’t be stingy with your money.”
"Yes, Master." Jin Wenchi did not leave immediately, but whispered: "Master, there is one more thing that needs to be planned in advance..."
"What's up?"
"Mr. Cunsi failed in suppressing the bandits this time. He lost his troops and lost territory. It may be difficult to explain to the court. He is old and his health is not in good condition. A few days ago, Liu Wei sent news that he was bedridden and he was afraid that he could not afford it.
The day is approaching..."
"What do you want to say?" Wang Yehao somewhat understood what he meant.
"Mr. Cunsi will resign in a matter of days. There are rumors in the court that Mr. Yan may be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi..."
Wang Yehao has also heard about this rumor. He is still hesitating. If he operates it properly, he will be more than 80% sure.
Although the general envoy is one of the nine ministers, becoming a feudal lord is one of the highest ideals of being an official, probably second only to joining the cabinet and worshiping the prime minister.
"If this is really the holy will, what do you think, sir?"
"My master has made great progress. He has taken a step further and taken up the post of feudal lord. It is naturally gratifying. However, these two areas may not be a good place to go."
Wang Yehao nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue speaking.
"Nowadays in the land of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Kun bandits are rising in the south, the Yao and Dong are guarding the west, and the red barbarians are patrolling in the east. They are intruding from three parties and will not be safe for a long time. The Kun bandits have become a serious problem. If the government fails to eradicate them, they will surely suffer a backlash. I fear that it will not be long before
Then there was an attempt to invade the invaders. The Master said that one should not invade a country that is in danger, and one should not live in a country that is in chaos. According to the simple opinion of students, in the position of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is easy to miss the responsibility and difficult to make achievements, which is actually a bad policy. Your Excellency was born with the same Jinshi, and has not entered the Imperial Academy, as usual
It may be difficult to enter the cabinet. If you can serve on either side, accumulate the seniority and seniority, and take charge of one in the future, it will be a good way. Although Guangdong and Guangxi are not available, Jiangsu and Zhejiang can do something. Taking advantage of the land and people, if it is operated properly, it should not be
Difficult matter."
"Sir, you broke down the whip and penetrated it, which made me enlightened. Is it just that you don't know the rules of evading your nationality?" Wang Yehao smiled helplessly when he heard this, "I can't go to Zhejiang. If I say it's Nanzhi, I'm afraid I can't do it.
Not caught.”
Jin Wenchi was stunned. After all, he was only a scholar and had limited knowledge of the court's rules: "So, we must go to Guangdong and Guangdong."
"There are no less than thirty governors in the world, and now there are probably none who can rule from the top down." Wang Yehao sighed, "Although Guangdong and Guangxi have all kinds of worries, it is generally peaceful - as long as they can deal with it."
After thinking about it carefully, is there anyone more suitable than myself to deal with the Kun thief? He has a real "Kun thief" in his hands. Although going to Guangdong and Guangxi is dangerous, it is also a good opportunity. Especially Guangzhou,
It is a port for trading overseas, and it is no less than a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. If you get this job, you can enrich your financial resources and pave the way for your future...
"We will consider this matter in the long term." He had already made up his mind, "Mr. Jin, go outside and collect information about Guangdong and Guangxi, whether official or private, especially information involving the Kun thieves and Guangzhou."
"Yes, students will make arrangements now."
After Jin Wenchi left, Wang Yehao went over the matter again. Thinking about his own countermeasures, such remarks in the court showed that both the emperor and the cabinet had this intention. However, it is definitely not a good thing to take over. The current situation in Guangdong is chaotic.
Not only are tens of thousands of troops trapped in Qiongzhou and unable to return, but the bandits may also attack and harass us. At that time, we will have to clean up a huge mess, and if we are not careful, we will lose everything.
He called Liu Zhao over and asked, "Is there any new news from Liu Zhao?"
"Liu Zhao came to report yesterday: The King Governor has gone to Zhaoqing to recuperate." Liu Zhao said, "I heard that his health is very poor. In addition..." He lowered his voice to the sound of mosquitoes: "The bandits have landed at the Pearl River Estuary and are advancing into the city of Guangzhou.
Outside - four gates of Guangzhou City have been closed, and the entire city is under martial law..."
"What?!" This news shocked him. "Where are the forts? Where is the navy?"
"They were all wiped out by the Kun thieves..." Liu Zhen said and handed over the report, "The firearms on the Kun thieves' gunboats were powerful, but they reached the Pearl River Estuary in only half a day."
