No surprises at all.
Xu Quan was hit on the forehead with a stick.
This little bit of force was just like a tickle to the brave warrior. He covered his forehead and said, "Are you so angry that you are embarrassed?"
Zhao Wei didn't make a move this time, but he gritted his teeth loudly: "When you're done with your shift today, go take a walk around the martial arts training ground!"
Xu Quan muttered: "Then you can't beat me..."
The next sentence raised its volume: "General Zhao is not here either."
Zhao Wei couldn't summon her own father to play a fake game.
Seeing that Zhao Wei was about to get angry, Liao Jia stepped forward to smooth things over. He watched coldly, Xu Quan and Zhao Wei did have a good relationship, and if they really fought, the former would not be able to bully others with his courageous warrior ability, but he could not fight in front of the government office.
Xu Quan realized it was getting late only after Liao Jia reminded him.
He hurried to the government office.
Liao Jia comforted Zhao Wei: "Girl, it's never too late to take revenge. You suffered a small loss today, but who knows if you can get back at it someday?"
Zhao Wei's anger has not yet subsided.
The knuckles of her hands were white from holding the gun with excessive force. She certainly wasn't angry at Xu Quan's teasing. What really annoyed her was Xu Quan's "fearlessness" - the confidence that he didn't need to be afraid of threats even if he offended someone. On the other hand, she could only rely on her father.
Liao Jia's comfort made her nose sore, and she stamped her feet in anger, "How to take revenge? Marry him and bring disaster to his three generations? If I were your father, I would tear his mouth if he is so rude! Let's see if he dares to be so reckless next time..."
Liao Jia: "... Well, there's no need to be so extreme."
It's just a rude talk, it's not some deep hatred.
Seeing that the morning meeting was about to begin, Liao Jia didn't want to delay outside, so he let Zhao Wei move freely and went into the government office meeting hall with Qi Shan. Qi Shan said: "This young lady Zhao, is she the apple of Zhao Dayi's eye? How did you meet her?"
Based on Zhao Wei's appearance, surname and friendship with Xu Quan, Qi Shan guessed her identity to be almost correct.
Liao Jia said, "Of course I met her on the way. She said she didn't like the marriage proposal from her family and ran away. The Zhao Dayi you mentioned, are you referring to Zhao Feng under Wu Xian's command? Oh, she is indeed from a military family, no wonder she can raise such a temperamental girl."
Qishan: "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
In this chaotic world with starving people everywhere, even relatively strong men dared not leave home easily, for fear of becoming meat in someone's pot. If they were lucky enough to survive, they would be regarded as refugees, forcibly conscripted into the army, and died in a battle between the enemy and us.
Liao Jia actually admired Zhao Wei very much.
Said: "Maybe a tiger father will have a dog daughter."
Qi Shan's eyelids twitched and he glanced at him.
Liao Jia said: "Before coming to Longwu, Jia went to Heyin. He wanted to recognize an old friend, but he was not there. For convenience, he was going to borrow his seal, but he valued a few family letters more. He accidentally learned that the master was a girl."
Qi Shan guessed who the old friend Liao Jia was talking about was, and it was most likely Xu Wenzhu. But he felt a little bored in his heart - Liao Jia knew the gender of his master in advance, and he would not see his surprised expression in the future.
"After entering Longwu, I met the young man surnamed Lu again, or should I call her Miss Lu? But she is clearly a brave warrior! And Ning Tunan last night, although she is a girl, she has condensed the third-grade literary mind..."
Liao Jia made a bold guess.
"This Zhao Wei is obviously a good martial artist. She has been practicing martial arts since she was young, so she hasn't wasted much of her talent. She can still make up for it. I think in the lord's camp, as long as a woman has talent, the old habit of not being able to concentrate on literature and martial arts can be broken, right?"
Qishan nodded in affirmation.
He added: "That being said, she is the daughter of Zhao Feng, and her situation is slightly different from Xu Jie's cousin Xu Wenshi."
Xu Quan's joining Shen Tang was an investment by Xu Jie, who was a businessman by nature. He bet on both sides, and his chip was still his cousin rather than his biological brother or son. Even if Wu Xian had any objections, he could use the excuse that "Wen Shi has his own ideas."
It is an unspoken rule for large families to place long bets.
Wu Xian can't destroy it either.
But Zhao Wei is Zhao Feng's daughter, and the father and daughter belong to different camps. Wu Xian already had a grudge against Zhao Feng because of his two-year absence. Now, whether the relationship between the two families will be affected is another matter, but he is worried that Zhao Feng's position will be doubted. This is -
Very good!
Qishan started to make plans in his mind.
"Why is it so?" Liao Jia's expression suddenly became a little more mysterious, "Because the lord herself is also a woman?"
He asked again: "If the holder of the national seal is of a certain gender, the people of the same gender under her rule will have the opportunity to unite the literary and military courage - then, as men, you will not worry about the possible damage to the Dan Mansion if you surrender to her? How can you recruit so many scholars to be loyal to her?"
This is something Liao Jia never figured out.
Qishan knows.
only-
This answer was not friendly to Liao Jia.
"Maybe it's because of the word 'identification'."
Liao Jia's face suddenly became cold as if covered with frost.
"Agree?" His tone turned cold, and bloodshot appeared in his eyes. "Oh, what an agreement."
Qi Shan scolded: "Control your emotions."
If you want to go crazy, consider the occasion!
He understood why Liao Jia suddenly lost his temper.
It’s a sad story to talk about.
Liao Jia has an awkward identity and was bullied in his childhood. The only kindness and warmth he has ever felt came from the young female teacher in the mansion. He was able to be successfully enlightened because the other party showed pity and extended a helping hand, giving him the opportunity to show his talent and be cultivated.
Later, in order to realize her ambition, the female teacher chose to serve the illegitimate prince of a neighboring country, giving him advice and helping him ascend the throne behind the scenes, but in the end she ended up guarding the high walls. In the end, like a flower, she waited for death in despair.
He wrote a letter before his death, entrusting his care to Liao Jia.
only-
However, Liao Jia was unable to bring the teacher's daughter away: How can you take away someone's favorite thing if she is discarded like a worn-out shoe
What really made Liao Jia angry was—
If "recognition" can give men and women under his command the opportunity to unite their literary and military talents, then this means that a female teacher or a woman like her who chooses to serve in the government, assisting without reservation and being loyal, cannot be exchanged for "recognition" at all.
How ridiculous
How sad is it
How cold and arrogant was that superior? From the beginning to the end, he regarded them as toys that he could take into his backyard and control and play with at will, rather than as think tanks that he could respect.
The two of them finished their secret conversation through voice transmission, and Shen Tang came in just in time. Seeing that everyone was present, he spoke directly about his plan: "After the previous war, the border barrier was strengthened, and the Ten Crows lost their channels for sneaking across the border and plundering. The price of cloth, salt and grain is bound to rise sharply."
"My Lord, do you mean to buy them at a low price from other places and then sell them to Shiwu? I'm afraid this will result in a loss."
It is useless to just calculate the cost of goods. The cost of labor and time must also be taken into account. It is not that easy to make money.
In today's world, even landlords have no surplus food.
Acquisition cannot be accomplished simply by having money.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "How could it be possible? How much effort does it take to trade? And how much money can you make? The most profitable business in the world is the business without capital. How much profit can a business with capital make? I didn't sleep last night, and I found that there are records of silkworm weaving in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", as well as salt extraction technology that is far superior to today, which may be useful. Even if the words don't work, we can learn some skills, and the cost will be reduced, right? As for food, it is the easiest to solve..."
Even without "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", there is still Lin Feng who possesses "The Art of Strengthening the People". Longwu County has caught up with the spring plowing, and the food rations for this year and even next year can be temporarily self-sufficient. The food prepared by Lin Feng can be transported to Shiwu, and she will be given 10% of the profit in return.
