The Young Master Time Travels Every Night

106-110

☆. Return to Chapter 106.

　　Zang Hua's magnifying glass business is very popular. Almost every old man in a wealthy family has one in his hand, and many ladies also carry one in their hands.

　　As popular as magnifying mirrors are their vanity mirrors. With such a bright and clear mirror, even a wealthy family would not be able to claim that they are wealthy unless they have one.

　　Shopkeeper Lin is open for business. The business has been booming in the past two days, and the door has been almost broken. Many people buy mirrors not just one or two, but dozens of them.

　　Glass mirrors quickly replaced bronze mirrors and became the most popular items among wealthy families, and quickly caused a trend.

　　A magnifying glass costs fifty taels, and a mirror starts at thirty taels. The price is as high as grabbing money. Shopkeeper Lin sold 237 magnifying glasses and 756 mirrors in three days, with a total income of 46,000. Two more silver, after deducting taxes and costs, the profit is as high as 40,000.

　　Three days, net income of 40,000.

　　This speed is really faster than a money printing machine.

　　Zang Hua can be considered a person who has seen big events. His business has been doing very well in the past two years and he has never been short of money.

　　Sometimes I can earn one or two hundred thousand taels of silver a month, sometimes I can earn tens of thousands of taels, and I can earn almost one million taels a year.

　　Zang Hua knew in his heart that even the nine-five-year-old man sitting on the dragon throne was envious of his earning speed, not to mention the princes, who were wooing him overtly and covertly, hoping to get his most profitable method.

　　However, the net profit of forty thousand taels in three days is still too exaggerated. Even if you guard the gold and silver mountains and let your men dig it, you won't be able to dig that much at one time.

　　Zang Hua felt a little proud and a little nervous. He asked shopkeeper Lin to block the news and not disclose it to outsiders, and to think of ways to use the money as soon as possible.

　　It was too hot to hold so much money in his hands, and Zang Hua was a little frightened.

　　Zang Hua has added a monthly salary to everyone involved in the manufacturing and trading of mirrors and magnifying glasses. Even the young men in the shop now receive two or two monthly salary.

　　In the entire imperial capital, there are few shops that pay such high wages.

　　When the news spread, countless people wanted to get in touch with them.

　　Zang Hua took advantage of the situation and said that he would select a clerk to open a new store outside. After going outside, his monthly salary would be increased tenfold, to twenty taels per month, and he could also be the deputy shopkeeper.

　　There were a total of thirty-two clerks in their fabric shop, and Zang Hua said that five of them would be chosen and the best would be admitted.

　　Whether these guys can seize this opportunity depends on their respective abilities.

　　As soon as the news came out, the guys in the shop were so excited that almost all of them signed up.

　　Some of these guys were the sons of two of Zang Hua's farm servants at Zhuangzi, and some were sons of good families invited from outside. Zang Hua tended to send his own people over, and after asking shopkeeper Lin for his opinion, he finally settled on five. A smart and motivated young man.

　　He removed the people. Now that the shop had to expand its business scale, there were not enough manpower. Zang Hua thought about it and finally decided to select another group of people from the field servants.

　　With these people's bodies and deeds in his hands, he felt more at ease.

　　In addition to recruiting people to run the business, Zang Hua also had to recruit more than 100 people to spread them out to the five newly opened shops.

　　Most of the young field servants in the villages on both sides were taken away by him. In the end, there was still not enough manpower, so they had to buy people from outside.

　　This is a time when we are in a hurry to hire people, so the treatment of our subordinates is naturally good.

　　In addition to two taels of silver and monthly clothes, Zang Hua also made an important decision. Once the field servants who come to work for him get married and have children, the next generation will not be bound by slavery and will be released directly to become good sons. !

　　As soon as the news came out, the field servants on both sides were almost crazy with excitement. They all knew that their young master was kind and they didn't have to worry about their future if they worked with their young master.

　　Zang Hua's decision was almost a stroke of genius. He didn't have many people under his command, so basically all the younger generation of field servants who worked with him were arranged by him.

　　Not to mention the joy in the hearts of the field servants, the servants of Prince Jingning's Mansion were not so calm after receiving the news.

　　There are two Zhuangzis in Zanghua, one was given by his father and the other was given by his eldest brother.

　　The two villages under him originally belonged to Prince Gu's Mansion, and the people in their villages were also servants of Prince Gu's Mansion. Now, just when the masters changed, the servants got such a huge advantage, and the people in the mansion didn't dare to say anything. , I feel more or less envious and unwilling.

　　Especially the guards who were seconded by Zang Hua, they were treated very well by Zang Hua, and they were even more certain that Zang Hua was a good master. In this case, everyone wanted to camp next to him.

　　Lei Xing's ears were filled with oil after listening to these things these days. He knew that working with Zang Hua was beneficial, and his subordinates came to ask for help one by one. As a superior, he knew that there were errands here and did not take care of his subordinates. He felt uncomfortable, so He had no choice but to come in person to ask for Zang Hua.

　　Lei Xingxing is a loyal, steady and very reliable person.

　　This is the person named by his eldest brother himself. Zang Hua actually trusts him, and he is responsible for the safety around him.

　　Although the two don't talk often, they are together every day and their relationship is quite deep.

　　The two were drinking in the village. He drank for three rounds before talking. Zang Hua stopped his drink and asked with a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Lei wants to do with me today?" Lei Xing murmured for a long time, and finally asked, "Sir

　　, , I heard that you are looking for a partner now?"

　　"That's what happened." Zang Hua teased, "What? Your subordinates came to ask you to intercede for them?" "Yeah."

　　Lei Xing said dullly: " The person under my command is also a good man, or--"

　　At this point, he was a little embarrassed, but before he finished speaking, a dark face with a hint of red looked at him, which made people unbearable.

　　Zang Hua knew what he meant, stretched out his hand to suppress his unfinished words, and then said: "What we want to open a branch this time are smart young men with sharp eyesight and quick hands. You can ask the interested subordinates to send the children to Lin." At the shopkeeper's side, I told Shopkeeper Lin to make a choice, and those who are suitable will go to the branch to work hard." Lei Xing's

　　sixty guards are all unwilling. Even if they are young, unmarried, and have no sons, they have to call Brother come here.

　　They have all inquired and found out that the clerks who work in branches outside are the same as here, with a salary of 20 or 2 months, including food and accommodation, and clothing and hair every month.

　　With such good conditions, if you go out and work for a few years, you can save hundreds of taels of silver, come back to find a house and a wife, and live happily together.

　　You must know that these teenagers have to work out when they are older, and other shops accept apprentices, and they may not even get two dollars a month.

　　Shopkeeper Lin received a new errand and took time out of his busy schedule to help Zang Hua visit a few people.

　　The guys who applied for the job all came from good families, had learned something, and had pretty good personal qualities.

　　Tang Hua recruiting them is also a win-win situation.

　　The manpower was soon ready. A total of 115 people were prepared, five deputy shopkeepers, and a hundred clerks. Jiang Pingyuan had to bother to search for the other shopkeepers.

　　Their store is different from other stores. Their store has transformed into a modern store and is very sophisticated.

　　Such a shop would not be able to run a shop without a capable shopkeeper.

　　Zang Hua is afraid that if he hires the wrong person and deals with a bunch of rich or noble ladies, he will be in trouble if he offends them, even if he doesn't make any money.

　　The business under Zang Hua is gradually getting bigger and bigger, and it's time to set up some rules.

　　Because he wanted to open a new store, Zang Hua thought about it and finally asked Ruan Shijie for advice. Based on the actual situation here, he specially discussed with Jiang Pingyuan to write down a set of rules and regulations.

　　Their rules and regulations are very simple in the end. One is to require the loyalty of the people under them, and the second is to be capable.

　　If you satisfy these two, you will definitely be able to take on important responsibilities here, and if you satisfy one of them, you will have a good life.

　　This rule has been vaguely revealed since the initial stage of Zanghua's career.

　　Anyone who has been with him for a long time knows that only by being loyal can you get a good job and live a good life.

　　If you are not loyal, no matter how capable or clever you are, you will not be reused. You can tell by looking at their young master's former personal servant Yu Yi. After fighting with his young master, now he has not even got a job as a personal servant.

　　Opening a branch is a big deal, and even Zang Hua feels a little nervous about throwing down more than 100,000 taels of silver at once.

　　Even if he didn't care about money, it would still be embarrassing if he decided to open a shop with great fanfare and then messed it up.

　　Such a major event requires Jiang Pingyuan to personally take people there. Whether it is choosing a location, saying hello, or doing other things, as Zang Hua's right-hand man, he has to go to the town in person.

　　Zang Hua was very confident in his ability, but he was a little regretful that Miss Chen was in trouble again. When he came back, Miss Chen still didn't know whether she was married or not.

　　The night before Jiang Pingyuan packed his things and was about to leave, Zang Hua finished dinner with him and said, "How about I help you be a matchmaker first, and then you go out after settling on the marriage?" "No, why should a man be without a wife? It's my

　　destiny It's mine, and I'm afraid it won't happen if I don't decide it in advance."

　　At this moment, Zang Hua finally realized that he really had no intention of getting married, so he had to give up.

　　Jiang Pingyuan raised his wrist to serve him food, "Sir, I will set off tomorrow morning. Do you have anything else to explain?" Zang Hua thought for a while, "When choosing a location, choose a larger one and buy as many shops as possible

　　. If people are willing to sell, they can even buy the whole street. Anyway, we now have money in our hands, and it is reassuring to switch to a shop." "Just this one?" "Well, just this

　　one

　　. ." Zang Hua said: "What needs to be explained has been explained before, that's all, just remember it." Zang Hua has been following Ruan Shijie for a long time. He has seen the horror of real estate and always wants to hoard land and houses

　　.

　　Jiang Pingyuan smiled and said, "Then I'm going out. Young Master, please take good care of yourself." "I see,

　　there are He Hua and the others."

　　Jiang Pingyuan passed by, and Zang Hua was not worried. He was an experienced old man. He has already done a lot of things, not to mention that he is from the palace, and anyone with some sense knows not to offend him casually.

　　They will not make any money at most by opening a branch this time, and they will definitely not incur any danger.

　　Zang Hua thought about it and realized that they were not in a hurry for money now and had enough time, so he simply let them do the work.

　　He doesn't expect five branches to be opened at once. As long as three branches are opened, it will be considered a success.

　　One thing that makes it more difficult for Tang Hua is that as the stores they open get bigger and bigger, they need more and more raw materials, which means they need to hire more people and buy more servants to ensure that their production rhythm.

　　Logically speaking, since he has money on hand, this matter shouldn't be so difficult.

　　If Zang Hua had money in Ruan Shijie's era and could start a business by observing laws and regulations, he would not have thought about what he had and what he didn't have, but he was in the Dasheng Dynasty.

　　Even though Zang Hua was already a second-grade general who served the country, even though he was born in the royal palace and was a relative of the current emperor, he still did not dare to take risks. He was afraid that recruiting too many people would attract criticism from the opposition forces in the court.

　　It doesn't matter if the business is down and the money is low. If someone has ulterior motives and directly accuses them of recruiting troops and intending to rebel, things will be big.

　　Even though he was quite favored by the emperor, he also knew that if the opportunity arose, the emperor would never mind reducing the vassal status.

　　People don't dare to buy too much, and they don't feel safe when shopping outside, for fear that a lot of things will be leaked.

　　Zang Hua felt quite confused when he thought about this matter.

　　In the midst of his confusion, his brother came back.

　　Gu Tangyu was covered in scars and angry.

　　As soon as Zang Hua saw his brother's handsome face, he knew that his brother was not having a happy life.

　　In order to welcome his eldest brother, Zang Hua specially returned to the palace to stay for one night, and the family had a quick meal.

　　King Jingning then asked his eldest son to go to the study.

　　Zang Hua quickly seized the opportunity and rushed to Ruan Shijie's side. Ruan Shijie was a little surprised to see him, "Why did you come so early today?" "Brother Ruan, my eldest brother is going home today. I have something to talk to tonight.

　　" He stopped talking and stopped coming."

　　"Isn't he going to stay in your imperial capital for a long time? Why is he so anxious, just for this night?" Tang Hua patted Ruan Shijie on the shoulder, approached him and

　　said : "My eldest brother looked bad when he came back today. I'm worried about what's going on in his mind. I'll ask him later." Ruan Shijie was also worried that something had happened to his brother-in-law, but he asked, "Is your brother

　　? You just came back. You are very tired from the journey, so you don't look good?"

　　Zang Hua shook his head without hesitation, "That's impossible. My eldest brother is a soldier. He fights on horseback every day. As for tiring him."

　　"Then something really happened, you should ask."

　　Zang Hua nodded. He didn't know what happened, but it would be great if his brother came back safely.

　　He looked at Ruan Shijie and said, "Brother Ruan, I'll go back today and come back to accompany you tomorrow." "Go on. If

　　something happens and you're late, you can come over and tell me. I'll be there anytime." Yes."

　　The two were lovers now, and Zang Hua was not polite to him. He nodded and said, "Okay, if I can't make up my mind about anything, I will come to you." Ruan Shijie smiled, "Then I

　　will Go to bed later tonight. Come and say good night to me."

　　Zang Hua agreed, "Okay."

　　Zang Hua waited in his yard and asked the maid to go to his eldest brother. Once the latter comes back, he will come and report to him. He will go Look over there at his elder brother.

　　Gu Tangyu and his son didn't know what they were talking about. They talked for a long time. It wasn't until they turned on the lamp in the evening that there was news that Gu Tangyu had returned to the yard.

　　Zang Hua was a little worried. Neither his father nor his son were talkative people. If they could talk for so long, something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

　　When Zang Hua passed by, Gu Tang Yu had just come out of the shower. He was wearing a robe and was covered in moisture. Under the robe was his strong body. Judging from the exposed wrists and neck, he seemed to have had a lot of scars in the past six months.

　　Zang Hua felt sour in her heart and called out, "Brother."

　　Gu Tangyu smiled and said, "You're here." "

　　Well, I'm here. Brother, I want to talk to you, is that okay?"

　　Although Gu Tangyu's eyebrows were still wet, Feeling tired, he was gentle with this younger brother. He smiled and waved for Zang Hua to come over, and then pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down. I won't make tea for you since it's too late. I'm afraid I'll wake you up. You've been here this year." How's it going?"

　　"Very proud, big brother, how about you?"

　　"I'm doing fine, after all, I'm a general and the heir apparent of Prince Jingning, so no one dares to embarrass me." Zang Hua sat next to him and looked at

　　him He raised his eyebrows and sighed in a low voice and asked, "Then why are you still so tired?"

　　Gu Tangyu smiled in the candlelight, "Is it obvious?"

　　"It's very obvious, even the wrinkles are showing, and he looks like he is in his thirties. ."

　　"Go away." Gu Tangyu scolded with a smile, "I will bury your elder brother."

　　Seeing his smile, Tang Hua felt relieved and asked his elder brother, "How have you been this year? Did you suffer any serious injuries? "

　　Fortunately, I haven't actually been to the battlefield many times. Last year, oh, I should say the year before last, the snowstorm made the enemy more peaceful, and they couldn't find anyone to attack for a while." Gu Tangyu said a few words about the situation there. , and then changed the topic, "If there weren't many enemies and there wouldn't be so many people stationed there, Shangfeng wouldn't have given me leave and asked me to come back and have a look." Zang Hua looked at his eldest brother's face and said

　　, She felt that there was something hidden in the smile on his face, so she asked worriedly, "That's it?" "

　　That's it, otherwise what do you think?"

　　"How do I know? I've never been there." Zang Hua looked at it. He glanced at him and said, "Brother, isn't it very expensive to fight the war over there?" "Isn't

　　this nonsense? Before the troops are moved, food and grass go first. With so many people on the border, how can it not cost money?" "

　　Then you people Just sitting around on the border, not growing vegetables or anything?"

　　"Huh?" Gu Yanyu glanced over with sharp eyes, "What do you mean? Do you still want the soldiers to grow vegetables to make a living? What does that have to do with the old farmers? Difference?"

　　"Brother, don't get excited, I didn't mean that."

　　Seeing his serious face, Zang Hua became a little timid, and hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I just think it's difficult for the Dasheng Dynasty to reach this point. The top has no money, and the bottom has no money. We don't have much money. If we want the soldiers to live a better life, it's better to provide enough food and clothing by ourselves. It doesn't mean that we have to bear all the food and grass by ourselves. It's just that we can grow some things to provide our own rations on weekdays." Gu Tangyu knocked on the table and frowned

　　. Said: "I thought you had some idea. This idea is too ridiculous. Can't you ask all the soldiers to plant vegetables?" "Why not? Aren't you preparing for war? You can train in the morning and plant

　　vegetables and water them in the afternoon. Watering can also be changed. Or some people can train some people to grow vegetables and water them, and change them every day, so that the labor force can be freed up." Zang Hua said seriously, "What is more important, belly or face? Brother, you don't know, right

　　? "

　　Gu Tangyu listened to his weird words, and actually listened a little bit. He sat on the chair and muttered, "I'll go back and think about it. This matter is important, so don't tell the other person." Zang Hua nodded quickly, "I'll just go back and think about it

　　. Your brother is in the army. Who else can I talk to about this? Should I talk to those princes? "

　　Actually, someone has mentioned your idea before, and there are some records on the paper. It's just that the soldiers mounted their horses to kill the enemy and have not been engaged in farming for a long time. Now no one can afford to be a farmer?" Gu Yanyu sighed, "What are you doing?" You know that we can't send out food and salary? Your Majesty told you?"

　　"What?!" Tang Hua screamed, eyes widening, "You can't send out food and salary? When did it happen?"

　　Gu Tangyu Seeing that the surprise on his brother's face was not fake, he shook his head and said, "I thought you were so powerful and knew about the border affairs. It turns out you just talked about it casually. Now I am the first person to officially reveal it to you."

　　"Brother, don't worry about it. You really can't pay for it? How have you been living for the past six months?" "It's not that you can't pay. It's just

　　some old grains and coarse grains. It's not enough. Every day I can only eat seven percent full every day."

　　As his younger brother grew up, Gu Tangyu didn't hide it from him, but just warned him, "This matter is very important, so don't talk about it outside. Some adults in the court couldn't bear to spend so much food and salary every year, and they said Now that the enemy has been defeated, it is time to disarm and withdraw. Therefore, the food and salary payment is not enough this year. When I asked the superiors, they only said that there is no money in the treasury." Zang Hua slapped the table angrily: "The Ministry of Revenue obviously still has millions of taels of silver.

　　, How can we starve and kill the enemy's soldiers? These sons of bitches?!"

　　He worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs last year, and after reading so many years of information, he could infer to some extent the situation in the treasury.

　　The national treasury is insufficient, this is pure excuse.

　　Besides, even if it is really insufficient, the soldiers should not be left hungry.

　　Zang Hua asked with concern: "What should I do? Brother, are you going back? When will your wages be paid? Will your men have enough to eat?" "Go back. There are so many brothers, we can't just leave them all behind.

　　" There, my people are left to others to take care of. I don't trust. I'm afraid that someone will use them to fill the death pit." Zang

　　Hua breathed out, "Then when will you go back? Did you come back to the imperial capital specifically this time to ask for it? Food and salary?"

　　"That's not true. I really have a vacation. The superior asked me to come back and take a look. But if I can get it easily, I have to ask for it easily. I have the ability, and I can't let my brothers starve." "If not

　　. Where are you?"

　　"Then what else can I do? I can only starve with my brothers."

　　Gu Yanyu smiled openly, "There is no end to the road, and the current treatment is a bit worse, but Uncle Huang is not really If you want us soldiers to be surrendered to our own people, you will still be given what is due. I will first consider your farming business and see if it works. If it works, we will grow some ourselves to supplement our food rations."

　　Zang Hua hesitated and said: "Brother, I have earned a lot of money in the past six months. After all the money I have spent, I still have about two hundred thousand taels..." As soon as he spoke, Gu Zangyu's face immediately turned dark and she stared at him.

　　, "What are you talking about? Using your own private treasury to raise an army, are you trying to rebel?"

　　Zang Hua muttered in a low voice, "I didn't ask you to raise an entire army. How many troops can you support with these two hundred thousand taels?" Yeah? I just let you hold it, so that you can make a small stove for your men. After everyone is full, you can use your energy to fight against the enemy, and you will be safer." "I have received your thoughts. Don't say this again

　　. Besides, for a family like ours, the most important thing is..." "

　　Be careful in your words and deeds." Zang Hua interrupted him and spoke first, "I know this. Brother, how many times have you emphasized this, I will remember it in my heart. Don't worry. These words can only come out of my mouth and into your ears, and no third party will know. Our people are all guarding outside." Gu Tangyu laughed angrily at him, "What are our people? That's me.

　　"People, please stop trying to trick my people!"

　　Zang Hua was unconvinced, "Why do we distinguish so clearly? You see, even if I make money from doing business, I don't distinguish so clearly with you."

　　Gu Tangyu couldn't help but rub his head, his eyes were quite pleased, but he soon became serious again, "What's going on with you and the princes? Why do I hear that you are quite hostile to them?" "Where am I

　　? They are very hostile. One or two of them want to take advantage of me. I have earned so much money, so they want to recruit me into their service." Zang Hua whispered: "I have been in the emperor for more than a year

　　. Everyone looked at it, and the princes were just like that, none of them were successful. If the emperor's uncle really goes away in the future, and the world is left in their hands, they don't know how to make a fuss." Gu Tangyu also sighed silently

　　. , but still said: "Just do your thing well. It's not your turn to worry about this kind of thing. It's getting late. Go back to bed quickly. We'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do." "Brother, I'll have more tomorrow.

　　" If you go to Zhuangzi, why don't I bring you the quilt and let's sleep together today so we can talk."

　　Gu Tangyu knocked him on the head and said, "I won't sleep with you. You're sleeping in a different place. I'll sleep on my own tomorrow. If you want to go to Zhuangzi, go to Zhuangzi. I will also go to your Zhuangzi in two days. They all say that your Zhuangzi is doing well. I will go and see what kind of good method it is." "Welcome, brother

　　. You are here, and we will go fishing together. The reservoir I dug has already put a lot of fish fry in it, plus some of the fish it already has, I estimate that I can catch a few, which is also a wild fun." Zang

　　Hua While rambling on, he walked out the door. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered, "By the way, brother, I plan to open a branch and I have asked Pingyuan to handle it. Do you have anyone who can be useful?" ? If there are useful people who don't have anything to do for the time being, why not lend me a year or two and I'll let them run the shop for me." Gu Tuanyu laughed and scolded, "I know you are not a thief. After all, there are really a few of you

　　. I will sort out the list for you tomorrow, so you can use it without worry."

　　Zang Hua smiled happily and bowed to his eldest brother, "Thank you, eldest brother. You are not at a loss, so didn't we agree to do business together? Let's talk tomorrow. Let's talk about how to make it happen. By the way, in addition to the useful shopkeeper, Xiangyunsha also needs people, and Liuli Burning, my two farms... I have never dared to buy people in large quantities, brother, look at me How are we going to do that?"

　　Gu Tangyu was really tired and couldn't think of any good ideas at the moment. He nodded to show that he had kept it in mind and said, "I will help you think about it tomorrow." Tang Hua looked at his elder brother's face and said

　　, With his mind moving, he suddenly thought of a way. He lay down at the door and asked, "Brother, how many wounded soldiers are there on your side?" "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Gu Tangyu gave him a helpless look and replied, "There are some

　　, but it's not too many. Many wounded soldiers have retired and returned to their hometowns."

　　Zang Hua asked: "How are they living after they retire? Can they live a good life? Can they get a wife? Can they still live a normal life?"

　　Zang Hua said . When Gu Tangyu heard this question, his heart ached.

　　His own soldiers know that they can go home, and with such a small amount of money as a pension, they can make a living. But if you really want to live a good life, it would be difficult to marry a wife and have children. Even a healthy man would find it difficult to marry a wife and have children, let alone a disabled soldier.

　　Gu Tangyu waved his hands and didn't want to say more. This was also a helpless thing.

　　If the disabled soldier is already married and has children, that's better. If not, his life will basically be wasted when he returns home.

　　Seeing the pain on his eldest brother's face, Zang Hua felt uncomfortable in his heart. He cautiously suggested, "Brother, why don't we invite people to just this group of people? It's all work, and they don't need to be particularly healthy. Whatever they can do can be done." Yes."

　　Gu Tangyu had an unclear look on his face, "Are you really willing to invite such a group of people?"

　　Tang Hua blinked, "I have done all the good deeds, and I don't know how much money was poured into the charity hall. It would be much more to invite some disabled soldiers. It doesn't cost you a few bucks, but you can still help them, so why not."

　　Gu Tangyu patted him on the shoulder, "Good brother."

　　That's how the matter was settled. Gu Tangyu would find some people, most of whom were slightly disabled. soldiers.

　　Zang Hua didn't care, and told him that he didn't need to specially select people, lame and broken feet, blind and broken hands, as long as the people were willing to come out to work and support themselves, he would recruit them, and he would not be short of monthly expenses.

　　Gu Tangyu explained in advance, "It's hard to ask these soldiers to sign a contract of betrayal." "I know

　　, I know the stakes involved, and I won't leave any clues to others."

　　Tang Hua waved his hand, "Brother, if you don't worry, don't worry. , just go into the palace and talk to the emperor's uncle. You haven't seen him for a long time. You two have a good chat, and you can also contact the emperor's uncle to bond with you." Seeing him like this, Gu Tangyu smiled, "You can say such things, too

　　. I remember that when I brought you into the palace last year, you were so trembling that you didn't dare to take another look." "You should treat each other with

　　admiration after three days of separation!" Zang Hua glanced at him sideways, and suddenly approached him scornfully, "Brother, You finally came back this time, why don't you quickly find me a sister-in-law? Pingyuan is already looking at each other, you are older than Pingyuan. By the way, Han brother has also been granted a marriage by the emperor's uncle, and you are still a bachelor ——"

　　Gu Tangyu strangled his neck with his hands, dragged him over and pressed it against his face, threatening, "There are only two bachelors in our house, one is you and the other is me. How dare you threaten me?" Tang Hua touched the tip of his nose. ,

　　although it was difficult for him to tell his family about Ruan Shijie now, he was really not a bachelor. He glanced at his brother and whispered confidently: "The question is how much older are you than me!" "How much older are you?"

　　What does it matter? How many years older are you not a bachelor?"

　　Zang Hua really couldn't tell him, "Anyway, you should take this opportunity to marry me a sister-in-law, otherwise you can run back to the army and come back next time. I don't know what year or month it is. You are not in a hurry. My father keeps it in his heart and doesn't say anything. He is afraid that he will die in a hurry." "I know. If you can marry me, I will marry you. But you, what's the matter with you now? ?

　　Since you don't want to marry and I don't see any girl you like, is it possible that you really like men as you said?"

　　Zang Hua was silent for a moment, then nodded.

　　Gu Tangyu almost died of anger when he nodded so clearly. He let go and pointed at the tip of Tang Hua's nose, "You are promising, didn't you say you are not sure yet? How can you be sure that you like men? Could it be that you do? Who are you dating?"

　　This Zang Hua really didn't dare to say anything, so he remained silent.

　　Gu Tangyu was somewhat prepared in his heart, but his frank admission made him feel a little overwhelmed. He sighed.

　　"Okay, I'll talk to you about this later."

　　He waved his hand and shooed Zang Hua out like a fly.

　　Zang Hua felt very guilty and hurriedly slipped out against the wall.

　　In the evening, he went to Ruan Shijie and told Ruan Shijie, "Brother Ruan, I came out to my brother today." Ruan Shijie looked him up and down and saw that he looked calm and didn't seem to have anything wrong with him

　　. The bad part is that I can still joke with him, so I asked: "How is it? Does your brother want to break your dog legs?" "That's not true. We already talked about this issue last year. He suspected that

　　I like men. , but I'm not sure, it's just confirmed this year." At this point, Zang Hua felt a little guilty. He glanced at Ruan Shijie and whispered, "I didn't admit your existence to him directly, I'm afraid I'll have to talk about it some time later."

　　Ruan Shijie came over and rubbed his head, "It's okay. We'll talk about it in a few days. We'll talk about it in a few days. Anyway, you are mine, and no one can take you away." "Well, I am yours, no matter who comes

　　. You can't take it away."

　　The two sat and lay down on the sofa, and Ruan Shi asked him, "How do you feel now? Do you have any plans? Should you continue to confess, or should you lay the groundwork first to make it easier for him to accept it."

　　" Let me lay the groundwork first. It will be difficult for him to accept such a sudden statement. It will be terrible if he impulsively makes things happen. Although according to my understanding, my eldest brother has a good temper and will not directly cause such a thing. , but it's still just in case."

　　At this point, Zang Hua sighed, "He is also a little busy taking care of himself. Today I found out that they can't even pay out military pay, and the brothers under his command are suffering from cold and hunger. He also feels bad. He probably came back this time just to find a way to solve the problem." "Has

　　your side reached this point? Speaking of how many years of war you have been fighting there, is it because you have been fighting for too many years?

　　"It's not too many years ago, but our country was founded just a few generations ago. We have been fighting for these years. On the surface, it seems to be okay. There is still a slight surplus in the national treasury. It's just that some people in the DPRK want to disarmament. " "

　　In this case, you can still think of a way." Ruan Shijie looked down at him, "Don't worry too much about finding something to do in his position? Your war won't start for a while, food and salary It won't be a big problem if we're not in place for the time being."

　　"I know this, but we can't chill the hearts of the soldiers." Zang Hua rested his head on Ruan Shijie's thigh and whispered: "As the saying goes, it is better to fight against chaos than a peace dog. Even if we don't fight, there will always be someone who wants to scare the enemy. It's best to scare them away, and then we can get over it once and for all." "I don't know much about the

　　situation on your side, but I'm afraid it will be difficult." Ruan Shijie calmly said. He said: "The grassland conditions are sometimes too harsh. They can't stay there all the time. It's best to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results." Zang

　　Hua looked a little disappointed, "Well. Actually, we can discuss whether to fight or not. We can discuss it later, but they are here. It's such a chilling move to pull people out of the cauldron. I specially asked people to check it out in the past two days. They said that the second prince's lineage wanted to intervene, and the eldest prince and others were also ready to make a move. We have been fighting among ourselves for a long time, and we are afraid that we will have a difficult time for a long time. Passed."
