Bidding farewell to everyone in the Chang family, Gu Mingnuan stepped into the carriage back to the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, and as soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, he heard his father's loud voice, "Why will I take my daughter back to her mother's house to live in the moon, and I have to wait."
"When I returned to the door that day, you and Xiao Nuan came and went in a hurry, I saw that Xiao Nuan's face didn't care about you, and now you say no, Xiao Yang, don't think that I can't beat you, you can act recklessly. :。
” Gu Yan held back his anger, he used to talk with his fists, but he really had no confidence in front of his son-in-law.
Xiao Yang hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, when I make arrangements, Xiao Nuan can stay as long as she wants to go back to her parents' house." ” "Daddy."
Gu Mingnuan entered the door, and Xiao Yang was surrounding Gu Yan and persuading, "You are bullying your son-in-law again." ” Gu Yan was speechless for a while, Xiao Nuan was bad, and he only cared about his son-in-law and ignored him.
"Father-in-law, let's drink a cup of tea first to dissipate our anger."
Xiao Yang handed the teacup to Gu Yan relentlessly, and said flatteringly: "I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of your favorite meals, and I will drink two cups of monkey wine with my father-in-law in a while, and my son-in-law will keep them for you." ” Gu Yan was greedy, and he was hungry for wine, and glared at Xiao Yang fiercely, "Bastard boy, you calculate me" Gu Mingnuan covered his mouth and snickered, beckoned his subordinates to prepare meals, and even went to the kitchen to make a few of his father's favorite dishes seriously, recently Xiao Yang went out early and returned late today, he was very busy, but he still had the energy to toss her every night, Gu Mingnuan was worried about what he was busy with, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would burn down, so he specially prepared some meals to replenish sperm and blood.
There was no news from Niangniang's side, saying that she had been thinking about praying for Emperor Chu in the temple, and Gu Mingnuan faintly felt that Niangniang's plan had also reached the most critical time.
Both sides are busy, Xiao Yue and Emperor Chu are not idle, this is indeed not the best time for her to put down everything and go back to her parents' house to live in the moon.
The dishes with all the colors and flavors were put on the table, Gu Yan saw that they were all his favorite foods, his stiff face was a little better, Xiao Yang poured wine for him diligently, Gu Yan said: "Xiao Nuan doesn't go back to her parents' house to live in the moon now, but you can't stop me from coming to see my daughter, well, every time I come, I must have the same level of food and monkey wine in front of me, by the way, I have to pack it and take it back to my aunt to taste." ” "Aunt is also very worried about Xiao Nuan, but she is not happy to go to the door of the Hou Mansion."
"Okay, okay, my father-in-law comes every day, and my son-in-law is also welcome."
Xiao Yang said good-naturedly, almost always holding his father-in-law during his conversation, making his father-in-law happy, but Gu Mingnuan could hear that Xiao Yang secretly asked if anyone was bullying his father, and his heart was slightly sweet, and he received Xiao Yang's affection.
"Lord Wang, I have something to tell you."
In front of his father, Gu Mingnuan rarely called Xiao Yang's name, Gu Yan put down the wine glass, and Xiao Yang asked with a straight face: "What's the matter?"
"Today I accepted a disciple, it is Chang Mo, the son of General Guang'an, who, like me, has a bit of a stutter, I like him very much, and I think he is a teachable talent."
Xiao Yang sighed, there was another one more eyesore, and finally handed over King Anle to his father-in-law to take care of, and another Chang Mo appeared, Gu Mingnuan was very interested, he didn't say anything, Chang Mo was not an adult, and he was not a child.
"General Guang'an is the turtle shell I am talking about" Gu Yan has been in the army all the year round, and he knows the generals' specialties better than Xiao Yang, who is standing tall, and nodded approvingly: "If his son can inherit the eight successes of General Guang'an, he may really be a general in the future." ” Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, to be honest, he really didn't pay attention to General Guang'an under Xiao Yue, "He agreed" General Guang'an's agreement means that he will be under Xiao Yang's command in the future, and if he stays with Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue will not be able to pay attention to him, Xiao Yang wonders if he can understand him more He also wants to compensate Xiao Yue a little, after all, he doesn't want others to talk about General Chang's betrayal of Xiao Yue because of wealth, as long as it is a general under his command, he will maintain it and prevent their reputation from being damaged.
Gu Mingnuan nodded and said: "General Chang's family is difficult, I went to his house, the cramped house, the old furnishings, and the servants only have two or three old servants, he is definitely not the most difficult one for the generals of the Northland or the generals in the army." ” "How is it compared to when we were in Liangzhou" Gu Yan suddenly lost the nature of drinking, and recalled the past, "We were really poor back then, he still had two or three servants, and Xiao Nuan only had an old mother by his side." ” Xiao Yang's eyes flashed with pity, and Gu Mingnuan hurriedly interrupted: "Dad was only a lieutenant that day, and I can compare with General Guang'an, and I don't lack food and clothing, but our days are not better than a few days."
Facing Xiao Yang, Gu Mingnuan smiled and said: "I mentioned this to say that we are not making a plan to make the life of the soldiers a little better and make their families rich, just relying on slogans such as honor, their lives are poor, not as good as the traders and ordinary people, no matter how strong their determination to protect their families and defend the country will be wiped out." ” "As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, how can you not feed the horse?"
Xiao Yang pondered for a moment and said, "For a long time, exchanging military exploits for high-ranking officials, if you increase their salaries too much and destroy the balance of civil and military, it is not a good thing.
If they do not make meritorious service in the military, they will be rewarded, and it will also wear down their fighting spirit to fight bravely to kill the enemy. ” He is not reluctant to take out the silver to reward the soldiers, but to pull the whole body, which can easily cause a chain reaction.
"The silver can be on par with the civil officials, and it can't be too heavy on military and light on literature."
Gu Mingnuan had already had a countermeasure, and said softly: "It's better to set up a firm, every general has shares, and redistribute shares according to their military exploits every year, the higher their military merits, the more shares they hold, and they can only barely maintain food and clothing without military exploits, and the goods of the commercial bank can be sold to the sergeants at the bottom at a parity price, but they are strictly forbidden to resell to others. ” Xiao Yang's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was a good idea, which could not only keep the generals strong in their desire to win, but also make their lives better, after all, the silver obtained from the trading house was foreign wealth, and it was not counted in the money, and it could gradually put an end to the empty salary in the army, or the matter of taking the lead in the army.
"I will ask the big businessmen to take care of the firm, don't bother the generals, they only need to focus on the war, the accounts will be made public every year, if the generals are not at ease, they can also find trustworthy people to check the accounts."
"If you think about what to sell and don't make money, you won't be able to achieve your goal."
Xiao Yang's fingers fumbled with the wine glass, looking at Gu Mingnuan with interest, her spirit was flying, her eyebrows were vivid, every time she made a suggestion, she would always look particularly beautiful and attract his attention.
"Monopoly is the most profitable, and I found a way to refine salt from an ancient book, which is enough to crush the two Huai salt merchants." “” This is not just a matter of seeking foreign wealth for the soldiers, but also solving Xiao Yang's most headache problem, the two Huai salt merchants have always secretly supported Xiao Yue
